NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Barring acci-
dents there are always a few fights
at each masked ball held by the Only
Us Social and Pleasure club, and the
levee given Saturday night by this or
ganization of fairly fair women and
reasonably brave men upheld the best
traditions of the association. Patrol
wagons were called at O'Clock in the
morning and a few hours later Magis-
trate Breen in the West Side court took
judicial notice of the fact that a de-
mure young woman with a downcast
eye may be as dangerous as stick of
dynamite in q powder mill.
II Hortense Joy had not gone to the
masked ball Saturday night disguised
as A2hrodte rising from the waves
there might not have been any riot.
In the Only Us Social and Pleasure
club chairs and bottles have become
munitions of war for less. All the wit
nesses agreed yesterday that in their
opinion Miss JOY as Aphrodite had,

of the reception committee, kicked the

loosed the dogs of war.
The silk hat had been rented for the
evening by the member of the recep-
tion committee, who was holding it in
his hand when AphrOdite tried for the
altitude record. 1t went with garments

assumed control of Miss joys destin-
les as soon as he saw her in the court
room. grouped all the prisoners before
the magistrate. He had to move the
attractive Miss Joy around quite bit
before he got her placed permanently,
but she didn't seem to mind.
The hat holder was the first wit
ness.
"The trouble started q few minutes
after the committee awarded Miss JOY

wound up he1plessly.

campaign for securing for San Fran
cisco the Panama canal fair in 1915
among the Democrats when the dele
cation from California arrived on the
ground 1t happened that many Re
publicanS, because of local interests,
were in position to give their support
to New Orleans, and for this reason it
was necessary to counterbalance this
influence by inroads among the Demo-
Gratis. A dozen Democrats from New
York state occupied a very important
position in the fight when the Califor-
mans arrived and their support ap-
peared most desirable. The efforts of
Mr.. Bell, who was assisted by NJ. F.
Tarpey, Joseph Scott of Los Angeles
and Father j. P. McQuaide, were di-
rected toward New York, and the re-
suits were most gratifying.
IT am firmly of the opinion" said Mr..
Bell, that San Francisco has won the
fight and that clean majority of both
houses will be given San Francisco on
the final VOTE
Joseph Scott of Los Angeles was in
troduced before the supreme court of
the United States today by Senator
Frank p. Flint, and is now qualified
to practice before that august body.
Mr.. Scott had a very interesting inter-
view with Representative r. F. Hob

said that he favored an exposition that
would start in San Francisco in June
and would be taken up at New Orleans
during the ensuing January.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
AID TEXAS CROPS
State Plans to Honor Memory of
Governor Hogg and Spread
Wealth at Same Time
GOOD PROFITS IN PECANS
Nut Trees Thrive in Lone Star
State and Supply Does Not
Equal the Demand
GOOD PROFITS IN PECANS
Especial to The Herald)

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 49,
Again, as has been the case in previous
years, the pecan crop has not equaled
the demand, and the crusade to ac-
quaint the children of Texas, through
the public schools and other channels,
with the value of the pecan tree in the
wealth OF the state is being taken up
with renewed Vigor.
1t is proposed that at every school
in the sections where pecan trees grow
q day be set apart for the planting Of
the tree in memory of Governor James
stephen Hogg, who requested that a
pecan tree be planted at the head of
his grave. During his public life he
was constantly drawing attention to
the possibilities of pecan culture, point
ing out what a great addition 1t would
make to the wealth of the state.
The pecan tree, indigenous to the San
Antonio country, grows wild along the
waterways 1t is graceful, large
tree of comparatively rapid growth.
OF later years it has been cultivated,
and San Antonio now has the largest
pecan rehandling factory in the United
States, with a ready market for the
delicious nut. From value of half u
million dollars the pecan crop handled
in this city has grown to three-quar-
ters of million dollars annually. The
nut is handled by machinery, and
shelled pecans in great quantities are
shipped north about this time of the
year, at the end of the season.
The paper shell'' pecans, a nut with
shell very easy to remove, is, OF
course, the most popular, and this is
the variety that is being cultivated.
There have been individual trees that
produce as high as $3.50 worth of pecans
in one season. Lately orchards thou
sands of acres in extent have been set
out in southwest Texas devoted to or
ange, lemon and pecan trees. The
pecan tree reaches producing growth
in about thirteen to fifteen years.
Uvalde ships this season to San An
tonic four cars of pecans. A woman
residing in that town fourteen years
ago planted the seed of a soft shell
variety, and this season from each tree
an average of 500 worth of pecans were
gathered. Had good stock been bud
ded even this showing would have
been surpassed. The pecan bears with
reference to the age of the tree from
which the bud was taken rather than
the tree on which it is budded. In
other words, if the bud is from a tree
already old enough to bear, the new
tree will not be very long in yielding
pecanS.

HARTMAN AND SINGERS
DELIGHT IN 'T0YMAkER'
Revival of Audran's Comic Opera
Proves Interesting to ALL
dience at Grand :

For the pre-holiday offering at the
Grand opera house Ferris Hartman and
his company yesterday opened in big
revival of Audran's tuneful comic OPP
era, 1.-THE Toymaker."
1.-THE Toymaker" Is familiar to Los
Angeles playgoers by reason of its
previous presentations at the hands OF
this capital comedian, but yesteray's s
production is in point of beauty and
delicacy far superior to- any of the
previous presentations. The produc-
ton, in fact, shows more careful prep
aration than anything the Hartman
company has offered this season.
1.-THE Toymaker' "A one of those
bright, cheerful musical plays, full of
the true holiday spirit, that is always
welcomed, especially at this time of the
year. It's comedy is clean-cut and
wholesome and it's music tuneful.
STORY OF THE OPERA
The story concerns a wonderful me-
chanical doll, the work of an old Nu-
remberg toymaker, Johannes Guggen-
heimer. The doll is so remarkably con-
structed that it can talk. sing and
dance Frederic, a novice, who has
cast his lot with the monks, has rich
old uncle, Count Bellenburg, who has
promised to give a large amount of
money on his marriage day. Not wish
ing to become a benedict, but hoping
to save his friends, the needy monks,
from starvation, Frederic agrees to buy
this wonderful doll, and, pretending to
marry 1t, secure the money from his
uncle and turn it over to the monks.
BY a mistake, however, Elsa. the old
toymaker's daughter, who has served
as model for the doll, takes the place
OF her counterfeit presentment and a
series of complications follow that pro-
duce much amusing comedy.
Ferris Hartman as the old toymaker.
Johannes Guggenheimer, needs nc
laudation, for this is one of his clev-
crest characters, and one in which he
could hardly be excelled. AS the doll,
"Muggins' Davies fits the part from
tip to toe and makes it one of the best
roles she has ever played. Josie Hart
is charming as Peter foreman of the
toy shop. Walter De Leon makes a
capital Frederic and Joseph Fogarty
contributes splendid character study
as the old Count Ballenberg.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHORUS
The big Hartman chorus enjoys ex-
ceptional opportunities for good sing
ing and picturesque ensemble num-
bers, and in their bright, new cos
tunes make a scene of gorgeousness
and beauty. -
The stage settings throughout are
new and picturesque, especially the big
scene at the end of act one, where the
interior of the toyshop is shown with
it's hundreds of mechanical toys, all in
action.
The production throughout merits
nothing but praise for Mr.. Hartman
and his associates and should prove a
most popular h ay offering. To-
morrow afternoon t the matinee the
management of the Grand will present
toys to all the children attending.
