NO-LICENSE SYSTEM Is
Benefit TO WORCESTER
Visitor from Massachusetts City De-
ciares it Prospers Under
Prohibition

''The city of Worcester Mass. has for
the past two years voted against the
open saloon and the result has worked
great good for the people of that city,"
yesterday said w. w. Vickery, well
known manufacturer from the Massa-
chusetts city, who is staying at the
Angelus.
During the first few months of no
license, in 1908, Worcester was dull
city, and it was feared that no-license
was having detrimental effect on bus
mess. But reaction followed and peo-
pie who formerly were struggling to
pay rent now own homes of their own,
have bank accounts and are prosperous.
"No-license was tried as an expert
ment, and has proved successful, as was
demonstrated at the city election last
December, when it carried by larger
majority than in the previous year."
Worcester, which has a population of
1870, 0OO is the largest no-license city i'll
the United States.

FIVE LOS ANGELES SMALL
BOYS CARRIED AWAY
Taken to Santa Monica by Force,
They Heroically Determine to
Face Dangers In "Indian"
Camps

Carried from a street corner in Los
Angeles while on their way home from
school by two men in an automobile,
five little lads of Los Angeles were
found by the Venice police last night
wandering around the outskirts of
Venice seeking a place to camp for the
night, In approved western style. The
boys are Glen Anderson. aged 10, of 1912
East Seventeenth street; William
Bright, aged 0, of 1867 East Seventeenth
street; Percy Lord, aged IL, of 1919 Cen
trail avenue; Sanders Smith, aged IL, of
1349 East Washington street. and
Harold Walker, aged 10, of the Chill
East Adams Street school. Willie
Bright. although the youngest, is the
liveliest of the quintette, and appeared
to be the leader
The lads were found by DIR. Sands
and were turned over to the police, who
communicated with the Los Angeles de-
partment and discovered that two of
the little chaps, Walker and Lord, had
been reported to that force as missing
from home. They told a straightfor
ward story. While proceeding home
ward about o'clock in the afternoon,
they said, two men in machine
stopped them on East Adams street
and offered to take them home. They
readily agreed, excited by the chance
whirled the boys to Santa Monica,
keeping them in the machine by threats,
and left them near Twentieth street,
about mile from the ocean. The boys
walked to North Beach station, and
then to Venice, where their Jaunt ended
suddenly.
A whole box of matches was found
divided between them, and they told
of their intention to spend the night
playing "injun" and cowboy. AS dark
ness approached, however. they became
frightened, and were glad to be shell
tered and assured of safe return to
their homes. Their parents were COM
municated with, and today the five
boys will be brought back.
In the meantime the parents of the
boys were wild with anxiety and half
a dozen searching parties were organ
ICED and with lanterns went all over the
southwestern section of the city, look
ing everywhere for the little fellows.
When word was received that they
were safe in Venice the hysterical
mothers and alarmed fathers were
quieted. The matter has been reported
to the police. however. and the identity
of the men who carried them away will
DE sought.

UNITE IN GIVING
MUELLER CREDIT
PROPOSE TESTIMONIAL TO
BALLOON PILOT
Aeronauts Kept Busy Explaining That
Brush Fire Forced Them to
Make a Landing Beyond
tho First Range

Members of the Tournament park
balloon party who returned TO Pasa-
dena Tuesday from their mountain
flight were kept busy yesterday re-
spending to congratulations on the out
come of the journey. They united IN
giving Captain Mueller credit for the
result.
So MANY persons have asked why a
landing was not made at Altadena that
the balloonists have found it necessary
to explain that this could not be done
because a great brush fire was burning
which prevented any landing this side
of the mountain. When it was safely
passed the upward currents took the
balloon so high that landing was not
feasible until strawberry peak was
passed.
Numerous suggestions were made
yesterday that Captain Mueller be CIV
en- a testimonial of recognition or MS
plotting. If he could be induced to ac-
cept anything 1t probably would be
only the cooperation of moneyed men
in making possible a flight toward the
Atlantic ocean. Captain Mueller be-
lieves the aeronauts who first accom-
plish this will be making great histo-
nv, and as he was the first man to sug-
gest the idea, he is extremely anxious
to be the first to achieve 1t. His inves-
LEGATIONS of the upper currents have
made MIN nrm IN the opinion that II Il
possible, and the continental flights OF
balloons from England and France to
Russia bear out the theory.
''It would take two weeks to outfit
for such a trip said Captain Mueller
in discussing the undertaking. From
Los Angeles I believe balloon journey
of 1000 miles is possible. 1t will be done
some time, and l should like much to
be the first. but I personally have not
the means"
New Name Proposed
A suggestion that has met with much
favor, and was taken up at once in
Pasadena, is that the now meaningless
name of Strawberry peak be changed
to that of Mueller peak, in commend
ration of the Pasadena fight. This
was originated by no less an authority
than Prof. T. S. c.. Lowe, who still re-
mains Americas foremost living aero
maui. and who sent Captain Mueller
the following letter yesterday:
my Dear Mr.. Mueller: Just a word
to congratulate you on the most sue
cessful handling of your balloon under
most difficult and complicated circum-
stances, and in the widest and most
dangerous mountain regions in this
country. 1t was your bravery and skill
that saved you all from destruction In
the face of clouds, storm and adverse
wind currents, caused by the unusua
conhguration Of the many mountain
peaks and deep canyons in that region
IT became familiar with that entire
locality while exploring and surveying
for my mountain railway. which took

more than a year, at the cost of fair
fortune, before any construction work
was begun It was for this work that
the name Mount Lowe was engraved
on the United States maps.
81 now suggest that the name Straw
berry peak, which now has no meaning,
be changed to Mueller peak in honor
of the man who saved five valuable
lives besides his own.
with best wishes and kindest re-
CARDS, am very sincerely yours,
at. S. C. LOWE"
The members of Captain Mueller
party want to undertake the job OF
bringing the American back from It's
landing place, and they have asked Roy
Knabenshue to captain the party. A
trip for the balloon will be made as
soon as favorable weather permits.

Washington, July 16.-All doubt as
20 where President Taft stands witt
regard to the downward revision 81
the tariff were swept away today
when a statement was given out al
the White House, setting forth, in de-
tail. what the president had to say 10
twenty-three Republican members -
congress who called to protest against
The putting Of raw material on the
free list.
The president declares the Repub-
ucan marty is committed to down
ward revision; that he never had any
ether idea than the Chicago platform,
ana that he personally has promised
, downward revision 10 the people.
This statement is interpreted IN
some quarters here tonight as d.
recs notification to the conferees on
the tariff that If the measure they I'm
ally agree on does not constitute q
material reduction IN specific duties,
the president win veto it
HOW TAFT VIEWS IT.
The story of the conference out
lined in the White House statement,
in a third person, was issued tonight.
in which the president says he Is
Obliged to look at the matter, not
from the standpoint OF any particular
district, but from the standpoint OF
res possibility for the entire republic
an. party. He said the question N
each case was a question of fact, to
be determined by the evidence as 20
whether the present duty was needed
for protection, or whether the rate is
excessive. so that a downward revis-
ion or putting the article on the free
list would not injure the industry.
He said he selt his position as the
head of the Republican party and as
president. with the whole people as
his constituency, gave him some
what broader view than that of sin
gle member of congress in respect to
articles produced in his district. He
felt strongly the cali of the country
for a downward revision within the
limitations of the protective principle,
and he hoped he would be able to
respond 10 that call as he heard it, as
well in the interests of the party as
OF the country.
