Arrangements for the proper handling
of the crowds that will throng the
streets of Los Angeles this week, and
plans for furnishing the thousands of
visitors with uneXcelled police protec-
ton from crooks and hoodlums have
been perfected by Chief Dishman and
the coming week will be a busy one for
every member of the police department.
The strength of the department will
be greatly increased because of the fact
that each patrolman will work twelve
hours instead of eight, which will re-
suit in twice the usual number of men
being on duty when most needed
Officers from most of the prominent
eastern cities and from the cities on the
Pacific coast will be here, as will force
of Pinkerton detectives, all of whom
will assist in keeping the city free from
the operations of pickpockets and burg
lars, and will work under the direction
of Chief Dishman.
Nearly all the visiting officers are
selected men, who are familiar with the
crooks from their districts, and who are
especially selected because of their
alertness. These men will be a valuable
aid to the Los Angeles police depart
ment and do much, it Is believed
toward making the policing of the city
uneXceptional
Chief Dishman win ride in the parade
and will have one of the finest equip
ments ever seen on the streets of this
city. The saddle and bridle which
were sent him from the sheriff of San
Luis Obispo county, are of excellent
workmanship, and are masterpieces OF
the saddler's art. The saddle is trim
med with silver and is worth $500, While

Col John p. Sullivan, past grand
esquire of the grand lodge, past exalted
ruler of New Orleans lodge No. 80 and
a member of the judiciary committee
of which Judge j. u. Sammis, candi-
date for grand exalted ruler, is chair
man, arrived in the city yesterday
morning, being in advance of the New
Orleans party. which will arrive at an
early hour this morning and will pa

this morning.
mo one could help but be impressed
with the decorations and other prepar-
ations made for receiving and enter
tanning the Elks in Los Angeles" he
said. Everything is on an elaborate
and gorgeous scale. Only Elks know
how to do things right up to the notch,
and the Los Angeles lodge has turned
the trick so neatly that nothing could
be added to make things more COM
plete Los Angeles is a great city and
ii is a real pleasure to be here"
Colonel Sullivan is one of the rock
ribbed Democrats of New Orleans. The
judiciary committee will hold sessions
beginning today. but the serious busi-
ness to be passed upon by that COM
mittee will not be taken up until after
the election Tuesday as Judge Sam

paign to give much time and attention
to judicial matters concerning the

INDIAN MUSICIANS
COME FROM ARIZONA
TO PLAY FOR ELKS

The band of the United States In
dian school at Phoenix, Ariz., arrived
Yesterday afternoon with the big dele
cation of Arizona Elks, and proved as
much an attraction as they marched
to the headquarters at the Hollenbeck
as did the visitors.
The band numbers fifty-two full
blooded Indians under the leadership
of C. A. Venne. That the education
afforded them by the white brothers
has been used to good advantage can
be readily testified to by the throngs
that crowded the lobby of the Hollen-
beck last night while the Indian band
gave a concert.
The band has been given prominence
in the list of attractions during Elks'
week on account of a protest that had
been recorded by the president of the
American federation of Musicians,
who threatened to cancel the engage
ments of all union bands if the Indian
band was allowed to furnish music in
Los Angeles.
The matter was speedily adjudicated,
as the Arizona Elks showed conclusive
ly that the Indian band was taken to
Los Angeles for the purpose of show
ing what school education had ac-
complished for the redskins. The fed
GRAFTON of musicians quickly withdrew
its protest, and the Indian band prom
ises to be one of the many features OF
the big parade.

MEMBER OF GRAND
FORUM is BOOSTER
OF SEATTLE SHOW

Judge William Hickman Moore of
Seattle. Wash, formerly mayor of that
city and member of the superior court
bench of King county, is in the city to
attend the grand lodge sessions of the
Elks. Judge Moore is a member of
the Grand Forum of the order posi-
tions to which only men of exceptional
judicial ability are called. The Grand
Forum, as one of the coordinate
branches of the order occupies rela-
lively the same position to the frater-
nifty that the supreme court of the
United States does to the federal gov
ernment.
"The Alaska Yukon Pacific eEposi-
ton will be a tremendous success" said
Judge Moore. 1T is to my notion the
most wonderful worlds fair | have ever
witnessed. The location is ideal. From
the standpoint of landscape beauty it
is simply wonderful. Architecturally
] never beheld anything that equals it.
AS to It's financial success there is not
a doubt. On Washington day the ad-
missions numbered nearly G5,000, and
we will break that record on Elks day.
which is July 2S. Already i'm month
and ten days the admission tickets

HERMANN GIVES
HISTORY OF HIS NICKNAME E

- guess we'll call him "Landsman'
or "Garibaldi."'
"'Make it Garibaldi' was the verdict
and for several weeks I was known as
Garibaldi.
1T was about that time that the
epizootic' struck Cincinnati, and We
office boys were used to do the heavy
hauling instead of the horses One
morning 1 was between the shafts haul
ing a load of type when the pusher be-
hind got unusually strong, and as /;
was down grade l and the wagon kept
going until we brought up on the bank
of a river.
"The next morning the Cincinnati
papers had an account of how Garry
Hermann. the office boy, and his loa6
went down the hill to the river.
1T has been Garry ever since, and
would hardly recognize the call if any
one addressed me as August.
Mr. Hermann admitted that it was
the first time he had ever told the
story, but these are the real facts of
how Hermann gained the name OF
Garry.

GARRY"

"Oh, you Garry"
The expression has been heard and
will be heard for some time in Los
Angeles, but it is known but by few
how the popular baseball magnate and
candidate for the highest office in the
gift of the Elks came to be known as
Garry" Hermann.
The real name, August Hermann,
scarcely is. ever heard, and last night
during a chat in his quarters at the
Alexandria with Mike Donlin and a
number of other notables Mr.. Herr
mann reluctantly told how he came by
the cognomen of Garry"
"As is known, l went to work when
l was not much over 10 years old, and
it happened that my first place of work
was in a Cincinnati type foundry. The
oVerseer of the place had faculty OF
clubbing the new boys with nicknames
of his own manufacture.
"A few days after I went to work he
came into the office, and to number
of the office employees stated that the
'Duachman' ought to be known by
some nickname.

that he had certified the credentials of
more than 800 members.
For the first day this is a splendid

ed. We had the largest attendance at
Philadelphia, and while we will not
reach that number here, we will have
many more members than expected,
considering the geographical position of
the city"
Naturally interest centered in the
fight for grand exalted ruler, and the
day closed with both sides feeling con-
fident. The arrival of the Iowa dele

Thirteen years ago Mr.. Jones re-
turned to Scranton and since that time
has been connected with the Interna-

assistant manager, and was in charge
of the first field organization ever sent
out of Scranton representing the

Scranton club. the Country club, the
