HUNGRY MEN, WOMEN AND

Long Line Formed an Hour Before
the Time Set, but Patience and
Christmas Good VIII
Prevailed

While the fortunate feasted and made
merry in their homes yesterday, 1000
men, woman and children, the notsam
and jetsam of Los Angeles, enjoyed II
feast fit for king through the kindly
offices of the Salvation Army. The dim
ner was served in the army hall OF the
Masonic Temple, 431 South Hill street
1t was a sight to bring tears to the
eyes, and smiles to drive away the
tears, to see those hungry ones eat
They were raVenous, though happy
The pinched faces of poverty and mis-
fortune were made glorious by the
Christmas cheer everywhere. Nobody
was slighted. Everybody was happy
All seemed to forget their misfortunes
in the superabundance OF good will
which prompted the feast.
An hour or more before noon the
time when the dinner was served, a
long line of men. women and children
had been formed along Hill street In
anticipa tlon of the feast Each person
was provided with a ticket, but the
lack of a ticket was no bar to receiv-
ing dinner. It was all free to all colOrs,
races and creeds.
All Were Made Happy
When the last steaming plate of tur-
key and other good things had been
blue-garbed walters and Mattresses, the
doors were opened and in filed the hun
cry ones. Men unused to the so-called
refining influences of society; men
who have lived rough lives in rough
ways; men who have fallen into ways
of darkness; men whose shabby gentil-
ity stamped them as losers in lifes
great battle-men OF all classes wom-
en-, aged and worn by care and pow
erty; women with babes in their arms;
children of the slums and the streets
these were the. ones who sat down to
the Christmas board.
The hall had been decorated with
palms and looked like native Call
fornia bower The sun strcamed in
through the windows, lighting up the
faces of those who waited patiently for
their dinner. Four long tables were
spread, and groaned beneath the weight
OF turkey, fruit, pie and all the good
things which go to make up Christ
mas dinner.
Waited with Patience
one of the really remarkable things
about the whole dinner was the pa
tlence with which the diners waited
until after grace had been said. Hun
cry stomachs know no laws of eti-
quette. But the men who feasted with
the Salvation Army yesterday we're
more than hungry stomachs seeking to
be appeased. They We're men.
As the men entered the hall the sal
walton Army orchestra, under the di-
rection of Bandmaster Boyles, struck
ND an appropriate march. The hungry
ones filed in quietly, showing all the
dignity of banqueters at S25 feast in
honor of president. Faces and hands
we're clean. Coats had been brushed
until the last speck OF dust had disap-
reared. And when Major Alfred Harris

FOR WILLIAM BRADYS WILL
Bequest to University for Educational
Purposes Said to Have Been
Promised by Capitalist

The University of California has
been informed that William Brady, =
capitalist who had made his home at
the Abbotsford inn in Los Angeles,
had expressed the intention of making
"A considerable bequest to the state
university for its educational purposes
Upon the recent death Of Mr.. Brady
no will was found. As there seems to
be no legal heirs the estate is now IN
the hands of the public administration
and will in all probability, unless
will should hereafter be found, revert
to the state. The university is max
ing inquiries, however. in the hope
that il may be found that viii had
been executed by Mr.. Brady. Any in

This is the man for whose death
the government of the United
States will exact full recompense
from President Zelaya, tyrant OF
Nicaragua. Leroy Cannon, who
owned plantations there, was a for.
mer star foot ball player of Har-
risburg, Pa.
Zelaya hates Americans, and so
he took advantage of a revolution
to stand Cannon up against a stone
palace wall and order soldiers to
pour a volley into his body. That is
why United States warships are
on their way to Nicaragua now

termination which was carried into ex-
eeution that very night.
These secret dispatches between the
pope, through his cardinal secretary,
and the papal nuneio at Paris, con-
situate the best evidence as to the facts
here involved; particularly SO as TO
the pope's relation to those same
facts. They show clearly that neither
pope nor prelate nor priest had any
thing to do with the Inauguration or
execution Of this affair. And further.
they demonstrate that the pope could
not have been in sympathy with what
vas done, when advised truly OF the
facts; for, If the pope had been IN any
way particeps criminis in this mas

as being opposed to such things,
