When one has stated that Fritz
Kreisler played in Simpson auditorium
last night, and has added that the
house was sold out, there really seems
very little left to be said--to any one
who ever heard this violinist the story
of the complete pleasure of the even
ling is already told.
\ There is nothing new to be said con-
cerning Kreislers wonderful technique
or his combined intellectual and emo
tional appeal, and it is trite to repeat
that he is a great violin virtuoso,
master interpreter of his instrument
All these things have been said of him
repeatedly, and in his present trans
continental tour they still follow MN
like homing birds His playing Is ike
himself, exceedingly virile, it is char
acterized by a peculiarly melodic, sing
ing quality, and more nearly resembles
the human voice than anything that Is
not of the earth earthly has any right
to do. His reception last night was
of the sort that he had a right to ex-
pect from former triumphs here.
His third selection, the following a,
b, c, d, e, group was the success OF
the program, and was exqulsltely rem
dered: Grave, Friedman Bach Q710-
1884: Chanson, Louis XIII and Pa
vane, Louis Conperin O630-1665); Allie
gretto, i. Bocchereni Q743-17SD; Lar
ghetto b Flat Major, Weber; Rondo,
G Major, Mozart.
Dvorak's "Humoreske" was given as
a finale, the familiar air taking on new
beauties under the sympathetic touch
of the master.
Haddon Squire, Mr.. Kreisler's accom-
panist. labored under the disadvantage
of being obliged to manipulate piano
better fitted to furnish accompaniments
for a drum corps than a violin.
The Kreisler return engagement OF
January will be eagerly anticipated.

DECLARES CRIMINAL
ORDINANCES INVALID

The arrest in November of Wong
Wing. a Chinese, on charge OF Vloiat-
ing the gambling ordinance or the city
of Los Angeles and his subsequent
sentence to sixty days Imprisonment
in the city jail may turn the crlnlnal
laws OF the city topsy turVy ana even
go so far as to cause the release OF
scores of prisoners on whom sentences
have been imposed since the consollda-
tion of Wilmington with this munich
pality. 1T,
Wong Wing is working on the chain
gang. displaeing rocks in the Arroyo
Seco His attorneys, Paul w. Schenck
and George L. McKeeby, are endeaYor-
ing to secure his release. II, in these
efforts. they puncture the criminal Or
dinances with their legal guns or cut
them to shreds with the sword OF JUS
tice. that is not their fault. The re-
sponsibility, they say, must rest on the
legislature because it did not properly
frame the consolidation act, or with the
citv council because 1t did not reframe
the ordinances.
Habeas corpus proceedings for the
release of Wong Wing were instituted
by Attorneys Schenck and McKeeby
yesterday and the hearing is set for 2
O'Clock today before Judge Willis of
the superior court.
Inc WnOle VI lAlC etNoA
news resolves itself into a question
whether or not the penal ordinances of
the city remain in force and effect after
the consolidation of Los Angeles with
Wilmington.
1--WE maintain" said Attorney
Schenck, "that every criminal ordinance
of the city is unconstitutional on the
ground that the consolidation act, in so
far as it seeks to continue the ordi-
nances in force, is in violation of three
separate and distinct provisions of the
state constitution" and, quoting from
the constitution, he added: ANY city
may make and enforce within its limits
all such local, police, sanitary and other
regulations as are not in conflict with
the general laws
Hence, he says, an ordinance adopted
in the exercise of police power is a
municipal affair, and his opinion is that
the legislature went beyond it's power
when it provided in the new municipal
corporation that ordinances then exist
ing in Los Angeles should remain in
full force and effect.
Wong Wing pleaded guilty to the
| charge brought against him November
| 23 and the following day was sentenced
to sixty days in Jail by Police Judge
Chambers. He was released pending
the outcome of hearing on appeal
| before Judge Davis. The latter affirmed
the judgment of the lower court two
weeks ago, and the Chinese has since
been working on the chain gang.

THE STORY.

THE interest which Lycius had man
a ifested in the great men OF Israel
had stirred the heart OF Jesus the son
OF Sirach. and during the days which
followed their conference In the gar.
den he had given himself up to much
thought and research, digging up the
dusty old scrolls Of the history OF his
people and running through them with
new interest and eagerness.
Il believe Lycius was righS when he
said that 1t was wrong not to give
these records to the people. What If
the most of them then would be un-
moved by them, there are still few
who would be helped and inspired
by the memory of those who had
wrought splendidly with God"
He had been busy writing and had
let his stylus fall from his hand while
speaking to himself. Then, picking
1t up and placing 1t with the parch-
ment he had been working upon. he
arose with an air Of determination as
though some new purpose had come
to him and walked with strong even
strides back towards the city.
He sought out the governor and told
him all that was in his heart, and as
he was leaving he asked:
And thou wilt be there?"
Yea, and others OF the household
with me-
The steps Of the scribe were now
directed towards the market.place Of
the city, whittier the people were
wont to gather when any matter Of
special Importance was to be dis
cussed.
Il will go and see that the place is
In readiness against the gathering OF
the people this evening. And we win
give the people a message that per-
haps will stir them to better living.
But must find Lycius," he said. sud
denly remembering that he had not
seen him all day. lie was about to
turn back in the direction OF mis-
home, when voices from the direction
Of the market place drew his atten.
