HERALD LADS
SHOWN THE CITY
SANTA MONICA BOYS GUESTS
OF PAPER
GIVEN HATS AND SODA AND
TAKEN TO THEATER
Manly Bunch of Carriers from Beach
Pass Day Taking in the
Sights of Los
Angeles

The carriers of the Santa Monica
Bay agency Of The Herald were the
guests Of the management of the Her
aid at a Saturday outing in Los An
geles yesterday.
A brighter, manlier set OF little fell
lows would be hard to find. With shin
ing faces they marched into the man
aging editors office and made them
selves acquainted with the staff, and in
turn were taken to La Touches and
fitted with a new hat apiece.
The sight In the hat store was well
worth seeing. Each little lad immedi-
ately swooped down on the particular
style of headgear that has been his
pet desire for months, and, as mother
was not present to advise, each was
apparently satisfied.
After this they visited the Los An
geles theater and saw what to them
was the best performance ever given
in Los Angeles. They cheered the
comedians and heroes and heroines,
joshed the soubrette and scowled at the
villain to their hearts content.
At the close Of the show they were
conducted to a refreshment parlor,
where each picked out his particular
brand of indigestable and disposed of
it in short order. A happy, contented
lot of youngsters was that which ac-
companied the beach representative to
their homes in the evening.

ILLINOIS NATIVES WILL SEE
SPANISH DANCES
THOUSANDS EXPECTED AT THE
SHORE ADMISSION DAY
Final Details for Autumn Festival at
Playa del Rey Have Been
Perfected by COM
mlttee

Pueblo days in Southern California as
pictured by the enhancing, dainty
dances Of Spain will be one of the sew
eral features to lend local color to the
harvest home festival to be given
Admission day, September 9, at Playa
del Rey by the Illinois association or
Southern California. Petite Viola
Yorba and her cousin. Master Ernest
Yorba of Casa Verdugo, whose pic
turesque costumes and graceful figures
and steps have given pleasure to count
less thousands, have accepted the inVi-
tation of the society to be it's guests at
the festival. In commemoration OF the
birthday anniversary of California they
have promised to add treat to tho
picnickers by presenting two new
dances not known in public places.
The final details of promoting and
managing the autumn festival are well
in hand and the officials and several
committeeman at the meeting held last
night congratulated each other that not
cog had slipped in perfecting the pro-
gram of amusements and providing for
the segregation of counties. Attorney
Frank F. Pratt, formerly of Chicago,
will be the principal speaker, probably
the only one aside from President u.
K. Barrere, who will welcome the MEM
bers of the society.
To carry the Illinoisans back east"
for the day as reminder OF the cele-
brated harvest home festivals OF the
eastern states, the officials are arrang-
ing for a large supply of melons. These
are to be free to the picnickers. Also,
there will be barrels of free lemonade.
Still another item which will be gratis
to the members of the society are the
souvenir programs. These contain the
complete program. The list includes
baseball game for the forenoon, ath-
@ md
dancing in the pavilion In the after
noon and evening. Cooksey's quartet
of plantation songsters, who provided
large share of amusement at the June
rally of Illinoisans will be the SocietyS S
guests Admission day.
A new and novel idea, planned to stir
up rivalry between the county societies
in the state organization, has been
formed by Secretary Treasurer John e.
Murray and Capt. M. d. Hurley, chair
man of the executive committee. Their
plan, adopted by the official family, is
to offer a silken banner to the county
enrolling the largest number of visitors.
Each county will be provided with a
booth, table, register and chairs. The
names of the counties will be displayed
on cards and will be In alphabetical
position about the pavilion porches.
Circular letters have been or will be
mailed to the thousands of members of
the society informing them of the fes-
tival and its program. Each member
is urged to seek new members and to
invite them to enroll. Ohio, Iowa and
Kansas have large societies in Los
Angeles, and 1t is the ambition of the
Illinoisans to excel in membership
either of the other state bands of once
a-year pleasure seekers.
To this end the fifty members of the
reception committee have given promise
to add 5000 new names to the society s

AQUEDUCT MEN BUSY
SAYS A. A. HUBBARD
ALL HANDS NOW AT WORK AT
SOUTH PORTAL
Members of Board of Public Works
Seem Confident That There
viii Be No More
Trouble

The declaration made by aqueduct
strikers last Saturday that by the end
of this week they would have all the
camps of the aqueduct on strike has
not been fulfilled. On the contrary, a
large number of men who were on
strike have gone back to work. The
following statement was made by A. A.
Hubbard of the board of public works
yesterday:
I'VE had a telephone message yes
terday from south portal that they
are working full handed up there, and
this is true OF practically every camp
on the aqueduct. There are a few men
still out at camps three and four on
the Saugus division, but the work Is
not suffering in any material degree.
Most of the men who went on strike
lave had their little rest and are con-
tent to go back to work, with the
knowledge that it is much pleasanter
to work than loaf.
"This life the aqueduct employees lead
is dull and monotonous, and it Is not
surprising some of them become DIS
gruntled now and then. When they
do, they look about for some excuse
that will make their complaints have
some semblance of reason.
"When they have exhausted them
selves they go back to work in better
frame of mind.
'It Is almost inevitable that there be
some disaffection among the men at
some times, but on the whole 1 think
we have been fortunate. Our ruling
may have seemed hard to some OF
them, but we were as lenient as we
could be, and have only done what the
federal government does in its Dig
public works projects and what all
railroads do with their construction
employees.
1--WE were notified that committee
of the strikers would wait on the board
of public works and lay complaints be
fore it. We have been waiting for this
committee, but it has not come. we
are alwavs ready to listen to any rea-
sonable complaints"

of Fifth Street and Grand

Two men were injured painfully yes
terday afternoon at Fifth street and

six-inch scratch across his chest, and
A. c. Koerder, who was with him, was
bruised about the right side of the

to turn the corner without Stacking the
speed the wheels slxidded and the vehi-
Gle turned on it's side, throwing the
men out.
The men were not seriously injured,

B. H. S. WON THE
FOURTH VICTORY
SATURDAY
Defeated Hoosac School at
Heosick by Good Playing
THE SCORE WAS 8 TO 8
Fassett Pitched Steady Game-Home
Team Made Many Errors Which
Lost Them the Game
THE SCORE WAS 8 TO 8

The B. H. s. went to Hoosick Satur-
day and won it's fourth consecutive
out of town victory of the season by
defeating the Hoosac school team OF
that town by a score of to 3. The
significance of the victory may be
seen from the fact that the Hoosac
school is credited with defeating the
Williams Freshmen earlier in the sea
son.
Hoosac school were the first to
score, making two runs in the first
by good batting and one in the second
on a hit, an error and a neat sacrifice
to center field. This closed the scor-
ing by the home team as they failed
to get man to first base in the next
seven innings.
The visitors first score came in the
fourth on hits by Wood and Fassett
together with a put out at first. In
the next inning four more runs were
the result of a single by Livingston, a
two-bagger by Carpenter and half
dozen errors by Hoosick on grounders
to the infield. Two more runs were
made in the seventh on hits by Muir
ply and Montgomery coupled.with the
bad work of the Hoosac catcher. Fas-
sett the B. H S. pitcher had IL strike
outs to his credit and held the Hoosac
team TO three hits. The score by in
nings was as follows:

METEOR NEAR EARTH
Peculiar Sight Seen in the Sky About
8:45 Sunday Night

What appeared to be either a mete-
or or falling star was seen by many
about S:45 Sunday evening The PEE
culiar celestial visitor is said to have
been first seen in the northern horizon
and to have darted across the zenith
and disappeared in the southeast with
lightning-like rapidity.
Many at first thought that the ex-
ceeding bright light at that time of
night was due-to lightning but on look
ing at the sky they were just able to
see what appeared to be tail of a
meteor vanishing in the vicinity of
North Adams. Some of the inhabi-
tants of our neighboring planets, Mars
perhaps, were evidently celebrating a
great victory and using liberal sup
ply of fireworks to produce the desired
effect
