HEROIC DEEDS TOLD
AT VENICE ASSEMBLY
Andrew G. Park Declares That Bronze
and Granite Cannot Sup-
plant Hero Mor-
ship

At the independence day celebration
at Venice yesterday Andrew G. Park
was the orator of the day chosen by
the members of the G. A. r. His ad-
dress was patriotic and pleaded for
a real commemoration of the deeds of
the forefathers. He said in part:
1--WE have met today to commemor-
ate the deeds of our forefathers, and
to this we are impelled not by a sense
of duty but by gratitude. From them
we have received the greatest her
itage ever purchased by blood of pa
triots. We cannot, for sake of their
memory, or for our own welfare, allow
their deeds to be forgotten.
"Commemorating the noble patriot
ism of our forefathers reflects to us
emulation of their deeds. A nation
worships at the shrine of it's heroes,
imbibes their spirit and lives their
lives. Some foreign nations, hoary to
decadence, have complained that Am
erica is recreant in building monu-
ments to it's patriots, but we submit
that this republic is the greatest mon
ument that ever was builded to mem
ory of man. And when Scotch gran
ite and Parian marble shall have
forgotten the sculptor's skill and
crumbled to dissolution, the American
republic shall stand as the home of
the brave and the true.
This republic Is a homogeneous ma
tion. That is the secret Of its per-
petuity. And it matters not whether
the individual is to the manor born or
halls from abroad, he is in America
because he lovese America for Amer
lean liberty. Nor did our Civil war
destroy or permanently impair the
unity of the nation. While Americans
are brave to fight they are equally
brave to forgive. I never look upon
the graceful folds of this grand old flag
but 1 feel like removing my hat, lay
ing bare my heart and bowling humbly
at its shrine. 1 love it as an Ameri-
can. l love 1t as a southerner reborn
to loyalty and universal liberty"

CAVALRYMAN. is
STAR OF SHOOT
ARMY CAPTAIN GIVES MARKS
MEN BIG SURPRISE
COMPETITION ON THE GLENDALE
RANGE is CLOSE
Los Angeles Rifle and Revolver Club
Matches Are Featured by Fine
Work of Newcomer-Blg
Matches Arranged

A regular army cavalry captain, $.
B. Pearson, strayed out to the Glendale
range of the Rifle and Revolver club
yesterday and showed the boys how
they do it in the regulars. He tied the
high man and took high place at 300
yards Just to show what he could do
who tied him, felt lucky to get off as
easily as he did to win the shoot-otf
at 200 yards to decide the tie.
The club at an immediate meeting
voted in the doughty cavalryman, and
he will shoot on the club team next
Sunday against Seattle, Spokane and
Tacoma. The captain halls from com
pany B of the famous Ninth cavalry
and is off on a furlough to visit Los
Angeles.
Decius landed high place at 200 yards
with Al, making 43 in his practice 10
show that he could do it again if he
wished. Crossman tied Capt. Pearson
at 500 yards with As, but would have
lost handily had the caValryman been
used to his rifle instead of shooting a
strange gun on IA strange range.
The shoot was to select team for
the big four-cornered match to be held
July II against the northern clubs. The
team will consist of Capt. Pearson,
Crossman, Kellogg, Decius, Miles and
Hansen, with possibly Umsted or Akin
used at the last moment to replace
some of the team men who fall down.
Graphite" Clark, who knows how
to do away with the bugaboo of metal
fouling in rife barrels, strayed out and
showed the shooters how bad it is pos
sible to shoot in spite of having a
barrel free from metal fouling. He
also gave a fine demonstration of how
to keep happy while losing, and the
latch-s string of the club has been put
on the outside for the happy lucky
Clark for the future.
York surprised himself, the gun and
the multitude by making a good score
at 200 yards, but "fell out of bed' on
his next range in his qualification over
his previous score.
The feature of the day was the ad-
vent of e. L. stevenson of Pasadena,
the president of the Ananias institute
and the owner of the queerest gun
ever seen in the club. 1t consisted of
a shotgun and rifle barrel on the same
gun, the rifle barrel kicking no worse
than the ordinary rife, while the shot
gun barrel, loaded with a bullet large
enough for an elephant, kicked like a
runaway switch engine. Stevenson
spent his time rambling around, per-
suading the guilcless to shoot the rifle
barrel until they felt confident and then
blandly suggesting shot with the
other barrel After three victims had
been punched through the booth walls
at the firing point the misguided

MORO OUTLAWS
EXTERMINATED
CHIEF JIJIRPS BAND FIGHTS
DESPERATELY
U. S. TROOPS DRIVE FILIPlNoS
TO LARGE CAVE
One Private of Sixth Cavalry Is Killed,
Three Officers, Twenty Enlisted
Men and One Sailor
Injured
(By Associated Press.)

MANILA, July 6.-In a desperate
fight, near Patian, on Jolo island, yes
terday, Jijhi, the famous Moro outlaw
chief, was killed and his entire band
eXterminated ty detachments of regu-
lars and eonstabulary under Captain
George L. Byram of he Sixth u. S.
Cavalry. operating in conjunction with
naval flotilla of the mosquito fleet
under Lieutenant Commander Signor
The American loss was one private
killed and three officers, twenty en-
listed men an done sailor wounded.
Private OConnell of Troop A, Sixth
Cavalry, was the one man killed
among the Americans, and the officers
wounded are Lieutenants Kennedy,
Miller and Arthur H. Wilson, all of
the Sixth Cavalry.
Captain Byram's cavalry, with few
scouts and constabulary, and detach-
ment of sailors under Lieutenant Com
mander Signor, located and attacked
the outlaws in the mountains not far
from the coast.
The Moros fed and took refuge In
a large cave. The column of troops
and sailors surrounded the place, but
Jijiri refused to, surrender. A con-
certed attack was made, the Moros
fighting desperately in the mouth of
the cave until the last member of the
band was dead.
AS yet few details OF the fight have
been received here. The division
headquarters of the army here account
for the large number of wounded
among the troops on the theory the
cave was mined and that some of the
Americans were wounded by an explo-
sion.
In his brief report, Captain Byram
warmly commends Lieutenant Miller
for bravery and gallantry in action.
Captain Byram gave no details as to
the condition of the wounded.

HUNTING AND FISHING

A question now frequently asked
by sportsmen is, when will the deer
shooting season open"'
According to the fish commission the
season will open August l and close
October 81, and this is regardless of
the fact that the governor signed the
bill that opens the season July 10.
Many Los Angeles hunters incline to
the belief that a bill signed by Gov
ernor Gillett is the one to observe,
even though the chief executive of the
state may have placed unthinkingly
his signature to a bill that he doubt
less intended to discard in favor OF
another. Deer hunters, with few eX-
ceptions. will be content to keep their
rifles cool until August 1 as there is a
long season ahead for the killing of
spikes and forked horns.
Few persons who have not the pro-
lection of large game at heart have
even given a thought to the possible
great slaughter of deer in this state
under the existing game law. The
deer shooting season now runs from
August l to October 81, period OF
ninety days, within which time male
deer may be killed lawfully. Taking
into consideration that from August /,
1908, until october 81, 191O-ffteen
months-1S4 days are allowed by a
state law for the killing of deer, con-
serVatiVe sportsmen are asking if 1t
is any wonder that our large game
rapidly is becoming exterminated?
The bag limit law amounts to vir-
tually nothing, as it is impossible for
a game warden or deputy to enforce
it or secure a conviction in the courts.
Last season some hunting parties
boasted of having killed as many as
twenty three in some sections of Ven
tura county.
One party was composed of three
men, it is said, and another bunch of
deer hunters numbered six men, four

RECORD BREAKING CROWD
AT LABOR CELEBRATION

A record breaking crowd attended
the third annual picnic of the Los An
geles Building Trades Council, held
yesterday at Chutes park. Speaking,
athletics and a fireworks display in the
evening constituted the days program.
Stanley B. Wilson was the principal
speaker of the occasion.
A pretty feature of the program was
the singing of 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner by Mrs. Francis NJ. de Pol
lette, followed by America in which
the members of the Women's Union
Label league joined, while the Stars
and Stripes were waved by twenty
four enthusiastic children.

Stevenson and his freak gun were
escorted off the club range and hidden
to make tracks in the direction of
Pasadena. The only hole made in tho
target by the big gun of Stevenson S
the marker found necessary to plug
with his hat, the ordinary /pasters
failing to reach half way across the
gap.
The shoot for July II is the biggest
rifle club shoot ever arranged among
the civilian clubs of the coast and is
the first of a series of contests to be
shot between the local men and the
northern clubs. The ranges will in
clude 200, 300 and 500 yards, ten shots
per man per range, six men per team.
The total scores are to be wired to the
other clubs at the end of the shoot.
The local rihemen will shoot on the
Glendale range, recently leased for the
use of the club.
The regular monthly shoot for the
CORTLAND Trophy" will take place the
Sunday following the match with the
northerners. The scores:

Dove Season Opens July is
The dove shooting season this year
will open July Is and will end october
Is, and the bag limit is twenty birds
to a gun in one day. Three months
for dove shooters is a pretty long sea-
son, as doves, like quail and snipe, are
growing less each year in numbers and
should have a closer measure of pro-
lection.
Under some conditions dove shooting
is more difficult than snipe shooting,
even granting that the snipe are wild
and Jump" quite a distance from the
gunner. majority of the misses in
dove shooting-that is. when the
sportsman is shooting from a pass
are caused in great part by over
shooting or not leading sufficient when
left or right quartering shots are of
fered.
Fishermen along the beach during
the past week have reported rather
mediocre catches, but those who come
down from the mountains say condi-
tions are decidedly favorable.
The heat of the past few days has
placed a damper on all but the most
enthusiastic fishermen. Several parties
have returned to Los Angeles from the
canyons recently quite frazzled out

ing game. With a turn of cooler
weather the anglers are bound to find
life roster, for the trout are lurking in
the pools, just as they ought to, ac-
cording to the best testimony 1t has
been merely a question Of whether the
angler wanted to work in the heat
long enough to catch the limit.
The tales from the beaches are quite
different Here the weather has been
reasonably comfortable, and for this
reason many who would have other
wise gone to the mountains have tried
the salt water.
Good fishing has been reported from
Avalon, where it usually is good in
some variety. Fish of one kind or an
other have been running along the
coast, but the catches reported during
the past few days have been small and
the anglers disgruntled.
1t is the opinion of many old timers
that the best fish, such as yellowfin
and corbina, are now spawning.
M. Gorcherkoff, one of the leading
merchants of Hueneme, Ventura
county, was in Los Angeles yesterday
and said the fishing was exceptionally
good at Hueneme wharf. More fish
have been caught in the past two
weeks than were cought in any equal
length of time last season.
A faVorite fish that seems inclined
to take a chance at the bait at Hue
meme is the halibut. This variety is
the kind that no fisherman will sneeze
at and one that many an amateur
would like to take a chance with. Re-
ports from the same resort say that
sea trout have not been so plentiful
this year, but smelt are seen now and
then.
Deep sea fishing is remarkably good
and near the islands old time sea cap
tains say the schools are more plenti-
full than they have ever been before.
