KNIGHTS OF KARNIVAL
To BECOME PERMANENT
Kangaroo Kourt Expects to Begin
Another Campaign for
Membership

PASADENA, Dec. 26.-Tonight at 8
o'clock in the board of trade rooms
will occur the last meeting of the
Komical knights of the Karnival until
after the grotesoue parade to be given
by the organization on the night of
January .. 1t is announced that
badges of the order have arrived and
will be distributed free to those who
attend tonights meeting.
Final plans for the parade will be
made and it is probable another kan
garoo kourt will be ordered to increase
the membership to 1900 or 1900. The
present enrolment is 725, and the or
ganization is but a month old. lmme-
diately following the first public ap-
pearance another meeting will be held
to lay plans for a ritual and bylaws
to govern the society with the idea OF
making a permanent organization.
There is move on foot among mem
bers of the Merchants association to
turn the Fourth of July celebration
over each year to the <arniVal klub.
If this is done it is thought some rev
enue can be made to be used as nu-
Cleus for the subsequent New Years
parade and at the same time start the
membership ball rolling in order to
build up the order before the Tourna-
ment of Roses association begins its
annual campaign for members, thus
avoiding confusion which was some
what in evidence this year.

DELIRIoUS PR0SPECTORS
FIGHT BATTLE IN DESERT
Aued Man Found Insane from
Lack of Water

SAN -BERNARDINO. Dec. 2o.-t'ol-
lowing a vicious quarrel while he and
a companion were lost in the McCul-
lough mountains on the desert, Al
bert Quagmier was rescued from a
horrible death by Ralph BOren of this
city. When Boren crossed the path
of the two men he found Quagmier
who was highly delirious, sitting
against a boulder watching every move
of his burro, which was seeking to
sustain its life by reaching a green
spot beyond the bounds of its stake
rope. Quagmier was helpless and
would have undoubtedly have perished
as he was insane from the lack Of
water.
John Mace. his companion, and with
whom he had fought while bordering
on delfrum, is still missing, despite
the efforts of Boren 10 locate him. A
searching party is now securing the
region in which it is believed the wan
derer is lost Both men are past 70
years of age.
Quagmier tells a rambling story of
the separation with his partner He
says they came to blows while in an
exhausted condition because they could
not find a ledge of ore. Quagmier says
he was under the impression that the
burro killed Mace, but he cannot now
determine whether he secured this idea
while in his delirium or not.

.ERLANGER DENIES
RUMOR OF MERGER
Theatrical Syndicate, He De-
CIares, Satisfied with Sea-
sons Box Office Returns

Rumors of an impending consolida-
tion or the adoption of working
agreement" between the so-called the
atrical syndicate and the Shubert in
terests have been persistent of late
and have met with considerable ere
dence locally. Abraham Erlanger, how
ever, denies that any such thing is
contemplated Asked about it in Phil
adelphia, Mr.. Erlanger said:
There is no truth back of these
rumors and not the slightest basis of a
foundation for them. The statements
or rumors have probably been caused
by the fact that for the interests Of
the theatrical business in general we
have lately consented to furnish at
fractions booked by us exclusively to
the one-night stand managers.
DENIES CONSOLIDATION STORY
1.-THE theatrical syndicate naturally
wants to keep the theatrical business In
as healthy condition as possible under
present circumstances. No interests
except those allied with us have even
been mentioned in the arrangements
that we have entered into with the
one-night stands, but you may state
positively there viii be no consolida-
JlOn. we 40 not WISH any, ana tnefG
is no necessity for any. In my humble
opinion there will always be two cir
cults of theaters, and we are very glad
of it, because it eliminates all this silly
talk about Il monopoly and a theatrical
trust condition which everyone con-
neCted with the theatrical syndicate
has always maintained was impossible
in the theatrical business, and we still
maintain that.
THE theatrical season has not been
a good one because there are too many
theaters, and If we made a con6olida-
tion the theatergoers would be worse
off than they are now, and it would
simply be an invitation for unoccupied
architects to interest innocent capital
to build more theaters.
THEATER PROFITS INCREASE
"The public is spending as much
money for amusements, if not more,
than it ever did, but there is a greater
division of it. SO far as the interests
of the syndicate are concerned and
those of Mr.. KlaW and myself their
condition is entirely satisfactory to us,
and we could not wish for anything
much better For this reason you may
state for me emphatically that there is
to be no consolidation of interests and
no such thing is in contemplation"
Replying to this the New York Re-
view, the Shubert organ also issued
denial, announcing that not only Is
no consolidation in prospect, but say
ing at the same time that the Shuberts
will never enter into business relations
with Mr.. Erlanger or his present busi-
ness associates.

sen throws is that of cheating the
boys. They We're promised knife and
gun. They were paid before we start
ed Therefore Rasmussen's charge is
as false as the whole fabric of imagi-
nary weaving; but instead of keeping
my promise l gave them many more
things and instructed Mr.. Whitney to
turn over all my belongings to them
when he left.
1T is therefore in the power of Whit
ney to say whether l cheated the Es-
llimos or not. And if Rasmussen is
wrong on this baseless charge, can he
be believed in anything else?''
DR.. Cook. turning his attention to
the missionaries through whom it is
alleged Rasmussen obtained the Eski-
mo boys statement, explains that they
were half breed Eskimo Christians
who were quite unable to make them
selves understood by the Eskimos to
whom they preached" and yet these
same missionaries are credited with
sufficient intelligence to cross examine
the F,skmos boys about something
which they themselves do not under
stand.
SAYS FOE WANTS PUBLICITY
DR.. Cook in conclusion says:
"Durins all of last winter Rasmussen
travelled through Denmark on lee
ture tour and in his discourse he has
vigorously defended Peary For years
Rasmussen has heaped all kinds of
abuse on Peary, most of it not fit to
print.
THE only rational explanation for
Rasmussen's irrational course is to
credit him with an ambition to get into
the limelight, for he jumps without
invitation first on the Cook band
wagon: when the music stops, he joins
the rebound of the shouting press; then
out of a job he runs to the Peary band
wagon. again, when the music stops,
he toins the noisy anti-Peary knock
