Range

This week the annual outdoor cham
pionship matches of the United States
Revolver association will take place on
the Bishop street police range. The
range has been put in first-class con-
dition for the contests, and some good
scores no doubt will be made by the
local pistol and revolver shots. The
contests will be open to everybody,
whether members of the association or
not. Most of the contestants will shoot
their scores during the latter part of
the week. The conditions will be fifty
shots per man at fifty yards with pistol
or revolver, known as matches A and
B. The contestant must finish his fifty
shots within one hour from the begin
ming of his score.
Yesterday being the first Sunday in
the month the regular monthly medal
shoots of the Los Angeles Revolver
club for the Hoegee handicap and pis-
tol medals took place on the Bishop
street police range.
A. M. Smith bored out a score of 253
and, having 36 points handicap to his
credit, he was awarded the Hoegee
medal.
l. C. Douglas was not in good form,
owing to his being on the sick list,
but nevertheless made the score of
$50 out of a possible 300, winning the
pistol medal.
The conditions were thirty shots per
mon at fifty yards on the standard
American target.

Poor Business, This

If the managers of the Interurban

some of them came to life and got a

carelessness or to shame at being de-

That the Hermosa team is to be reck-

the championship of the Southern
State Baseball league is chosen was
evidenced yesterday by their showing
against the Gateway nine, bringing
this fast aggregation into camp via the
shutout route. Metzs, who tried his
hand at volleying for the Gateways,
proved easy money for the Hermosa
nine, the latter squad pounding his de-
livery for eleven safeties. b. Smith,
shortstop for the Gateway nine, held
down his end of the game in major
league form and was applauded for
few fancy twisters for the winners,
tanning ten men and allowing but two
hits throughout the game. A little

Emmerlch, in a lecture on CHOLERA"
before the Finnish Medical society,
claims that cholera germs are innocu-

is concerned, perfectly harmless. The

Professor Emmerich inoculated two

The first lot were taken from water,
the second from earth. The latter

heavy hitting. Haight, who pitched

Prison Congress Interesting

1.-THE Prison congress, then in session,
interested me first. 1t was presided
over by DIR. J. T. Gilmour president
and warden of the Central prison, To-
ronto, Canada, and vital questions were
presented and discussed. Gov. M. 70.
Hay Of Washington said in his opening
address: 1T speaks highly for civlliza-
ton when men will travel thousands of
miles to tell the people what they
know of penology,' calling attention to
the fact that former President r. B.
Hayes was the first president of the
American Prison association.
Mayor John r. Miller, in his address
of welcome, said that there was no
better work than that of leading the
abnormal back to the normal. Hon.
r. G.. Pettigrove, chairman of the Mas
sachusetts prison commission, in his
response, said: Organized forty years
a-o, it would be presumed that the
problems for the association should be
solved. While this has not been the
case, it has been impressed upon the
country that cruelty and retribution
were not essentials of reformation He
declared that 1t never had been claimed
by the association that all men who
go to penal institutions could be re-
formed, but did hold that it was wrong
to subject those who are capable of
reformation to conditions that would
prevent their moral regeneration.

Home Life is Keynote

president Gilmour in his annual adj
dress said: Fourteen years experience
in dealing with thousands has taught
me that the great aim is to take care of
the children. Let us restore the pure
home life. I never judge a mans sue
cess OF failure until I know how his
children come out. Force Of persua-
sion is stronger than chains. Once you
convince the criminal that you are just,
you have taken from his heart the
hatred Of the state and disarmed his
mind of the belief that every mans
hand is against him.
Put love in the law; smother the
spirit of revenge, of retaliation, of hate,
and remember that there Is a duty to
the individual as we'll as to the state,
said Judge Ben r. Lindsay of Denver,
who has sent sos men to the peniten-
tiary IL nine years without a guard.
and whose confidence has been betrayed
only five times-three of those coming
back and surrendering. During eight
years of this time the Denver police
have lost forty-two prisoners through
the handcuff system that they never
recovered. Judge Lindsay made
strong plea for changing the probation
system from the criminal to the civil
courts I believe in punishment and
force, but we can get along with less

Would Restrict Marriage

their kind was warmly discussed. we

is only one thing to do to stem the tide

Suggestions for Los Angeles

''Who can say enough for the public
comforts convenient and cleanly,
something our own fair city and beach
towns so sadly need. IT would seem as
though everything had been done that
could give pleasure and comfort to those
in attendance. The concerts given by
the societies, city and management are
of a high order. The exhibits are well
a 'anged and worth seeing. Californi-
ans are indeed proud of theirs. The
fruit and art displays are worthy OF
special mention, and the genial pres
ence of Mr. and Mrs. Virgins adds to
the pleasure of a visit there.
''Some say that the Canadian build
ing will take the prize. If you want a
trip to Alaska attend the lecture given
in the annex to this building. Those
who know what to do are sure to visit
the Spokane exhibit, where the decora-
tions in grain are marvelously artistic
and the apples SO tempting one can
scarcely refrain from helping ones self.
1.-THE fishery exhibit in the United
States building has thirty tanks of
beautiful fish, and is considered one
of the attractions. Also the Fine Arts
building, where one could spend days
and not feel satisfied. The Forestry

Washington, May 20-Ohicial ad-
vices from the foreign Office to Wen
ma have convinced the members of
the Austro-Hungarian embassy in
Washington that the claims of John
Orth, of Painesyille, are preposterous,
Since the official declaration a few
days ago to the effect that there was
not the slightest possibility that Orth
could be the missing archduke. Con-
siderable evidence has reached the
Austrian ambassador from the min
lister of foreign affairs. This evil
dence is designed to prove that Orth
is the same man who posed as the
missing archduke In Argentina, in
France and later in Montreal, Canada
This report has been sent out tc
each consular representative of tn,

and Mexico
The embassy has refused to admit
that report on the Orth case hat
