NATIONAL GUARDS TO
APPEAR WITH CIRCUS
VIII Play Prominent Part in Street
Parades to Be Given Shortly by
Greater Norris and Rowe
Shows

A circus parade, exceptional for its
fine local features, will be one of the
drawing cards of the big benefit which
the Los Angeles National Guardsmen
will give in this city this month, when
they will present the Greater Norris
and Rowe shows for eight perform
ances. The street demonstration has
always been one of the attractive por-
lions of the Norris and Rowe circus
upon it's many visits here, but with
troops of cavalry, naval militia and
infantry added 1t should Guido all prior
efforts. 1t is promised that the Nation
al Guard will take prominent part In
the display. Brigade officers will lend
their presence and will lead the pro-
cession on horseback. =
Local surprises will be the order
throughout the entire line of march.
Guardsmen mounted on elephants and
camels will take part in events alto
gether out of the ordinary routine. The
men are anxious to raise money for
their new armory fund. and they are
determined to do their part to make
the engagement a success. AS for the
circus, it needs no introduction in Los
Angeles. 1t has been seen here annu-
ally for many years, and always has
given satisfaction. 1t is said that
it is now better and bigger than ever.
This is particularly true with reference
to its parades. More animals will
be seen In the line of march, and more
horses and performers than ever be-
fore.
The circus will play here four days,
beginning Wednesday, March IT, There
will be a matinee and night perform
ance each day, and the big parade will
pass through the streets every morn
ing. 1t will be enlivened by military
and the regular show bands. The fact
that the local features will add greatly
to the parade will not cause the man
agement to permit any curtailment of
the regular parade. Every wagon and
every horse and performer will be in
line. Only those wild animals which
cannot with safety be brought into the
streets will be left at the circus
grounds
The following officers are now in
charge of the local committees: Brig.
Gen. Robert Wankowski, Col. w. G.
Schneider, Capt. "A. :. Copp jr., Capt.
H. w. Slotterbeck, Capt. James Gum,

ING her own modesty and that of her
audience. Now, as matter OF tact'
genuine ballet dancing, not high KICK
ing is the most innocent, beautl1ul ana
fairvlike of all dancing. The writer
has seen the ballet where there was not
the slightest suggestion or anything
wrong or improper. If the doctor were
more familiar with the stage ne Woulo
know that tights as worn by genuine
ballet dancer, in connection with many
f1uffv skirts. make her apepar simply as
a beautiful. graceful, fairylike crea-
ture and that in her activities there is
nothing that would necessarily render
her or those seeing her less modest
than DIR. Locke's nearest and dearest
lady friends.
Theology Involved
But the writer has not finished with
the doctors attitude. What leads him
into this grave error of unjustly rep
resenting what our Savior would do
in Los Angeles? Some will say, II is
because he is a minister of the Meth
odist church. and from rule or custom
thinks he must preach against all thea-
foregoing" But the writer respects the
doctor all too highly to think that ne
has not the moral courage OF MS con-
victions.
The real cause Is far deeper and
more fundamental than that. The
writer recently heard DR.. Locke's ad-
dress to the ministers of our city, at
the Y. M c. A., in conjunction with
DR.. Torrey. At the very close or an
address, to which so far the writer
had listened with both pleasure ana
profit. Dr. Locke strongly insisted on
The nreachine of BLOOD Atonement,"
in a way that rendered 1t Impossible
not to believe that he strongly holds
to that old, blind and shocking doc
trine of the vicarious atonement. Inls
doctrine of the dark ages horribly ma
liens the goodness and mercy or our
God, and ascribes to him gross inJus-
tice instead of following the pure teach
ing of the apostle, God was IN Christ
reconciling the world unto himself
Traces Attack to Doctrine
Tf DIR. Locke, in this twentieth CEN
fury of rational enlightenment, still be-
lieves and teaches such an erroneous
and harmful doctrine with regard 70
the God of all religion and life, would
he not also be quite likely TO represent
Christ as capable of injustice shouid
he come to Los Angeles?
Let DR.. Locke and others carefully
consider if that terrible doctrine. at the
very fountain head of so much religious
reaching. is not responsible among men
for countless forms of injustice and
degradation. Even far more RESPONSE
HE than are the more external errors
of the theater? Let DR.. Locke hon
estlv ask himself if that fundamental
error of his religious belief does not
lead him continually to misrepresent
his Lord and Master in the various re-
Iations of life, and also to wrong the
GOOD people of Los Angeles who earn
estly desire to discourage the evils OF
the theater, and to promote its great
and unquestioned power for good. Let
DR.. Locke ask himself whether, If while
doing much good by arousing public
attention to the evils of the stage, his
teaching and influence respecting the
theater are not really an obstacle to
the moral progress he is seeking:

HARTMAN AS A MONEY MAKER
Fortune Getting Due to Ability,
Industry, Courage and
Patience.

II is unfortunate for the country that
Edward II. Harriman's fortune turns out to
have been much greater than it was sup
posed 10 be, before his death. Then those
who protested TO know most about his az
fairs thought that he owned from $50, COO,
100 TO S75, 900, 900 in various kinds OF property
chiefly railroad stocks and bonds. Now It
proves that he left about $50. OCO, 900. His
estate is to pay inheritance taxes on S149,
10000.
The piling up Of such a fortune, in one
labOrious lifetime, even though 1t began,
for earning purposes, very early and lasted
in the sense Of full business activity, al
most to the end, is bound to have a bad
effect upon the country, in view OF the
fact that ii is universally believed to be
the result OF shrewd manipulation rather
than Of great discoveries Or creative en-
terprises. The Hartman estate is looked
upon as the fruit of cunning juggling with
vast Industrial and commercial forces. The
country feels that Hartman gathered his
wealth by clever tricks rather than making
it by adding to the possessions and pro-
ductive power and prosperity OF the ma
tlOn.
This view is not altogether just or accur-
ate. Hartman was a magnificent organ
izer OF railroad efficiency. lie had fine
courage and enterprise in planning and exc,
cutting improvements Of the utmost I'M,
p%ortance in transportation facilities. II,

.SHOLES AND SUTPHEN DIFFER
Agent Gives New Version of Land
Deal with Joslyn.
JoSLYN's VERSION Is YET TO COME
sutphen, In Deposition, AffirnAs He
Told Both He Thought He
Could Not Give Titl@ TO
the Property.
JosLYN's VERSION Is YET TO COME

A different story from. that OF Charles
Dewitt Sutphen was told by D. V. Sholes
in district court regarding the real estate
deal between Sutphen and George A
Joslyn. Mr.. Sholes was agent in the
matter.
The plaintiff introduced Sutphen's depo-
sition taken in Dubuque, Ia, before this
side rested. Sutphen in this deposition de-
clares that he told Mr.. Sholes and Mr..
Joslyn that he thought he could not give
title to the tract at Fortisth and Daven-
port streets because, he said, It had been
left to his father and to himself with re-
mainder TO their heirs. Then Joslyn, says
Sutphen in substance, declared that he
would arrange "a friendly law suit" by
refusing to pay more than 1900 OF the pur-
chase price and that Sutphsn would havo
TO bring suit for the balance.
Mr.. Joslyn's version has not been told
yet to the court. but Mr.. Sholes' was this
morning. sholes' most important state
ment on direct examination was:
THAT Sutphen said to me, for a time
after the death Of my mother, we thought
that we could not sell the property be-
cause of having only a life interest, but
later. Mr.. Nash wanted to buy a piece Of
the property and we had an abstract made
up and submitted to Thurston & Hall, who
pronounced it all right. Then the deal
went on"
said Nash Did.
"Did Sutphen say" asked John c. Gown
of the witness. that Nash bought the
piece spoken OFF,"
He said Nash did, replied the wit
ness.
Mr.. Sholes' testimony on direct examina-
ton had chiefly to do with his part as
agent in bringing about the sale and in
cluded statements that he was acting as
agent for both men" and that both men
were to pa him commission.

testimony will be OF interest not only be
cause OF his prominence, but because o.
