MANY ANCELENOS PLAN
FOREIGN PILGRIMAGE

Los Angeles musicians are making a
pilgrimage this year and the mecca to
which their tours lead them is always
Europe. They are not alone in this,
for society, professional and business
folk also are making the same trip,
but it is unusual for so many of them
to be departing at the same time.
At the Dominant club entertainment,
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Edmund Shank
at their Glendale home last Saturday,
it was discovered that three of the
members and guests present would
leave within a month to enjoy the in
spiration of foreign travel
Miss Mary O'Donoughue will leave
today, and her trip will be without any
definite plan. She will land at Ham
burg and will go directly to Munich for
the music festivals there. She Will also
visit several Of the better known cities
of Germany and France, and may
eventually decide to remain through
out the year. In the latter event she
will study with some of the best of the
European teachers, and will bring back
to her local associates the enthusiasm
and strength which follows such trip.
Mrs. Edmund S. Shank will go
abroad, but her plans so far allow only
for three months absence. She will
visit Italian cities, and will coach with
masters of the Italian method. Her
voice gained materially in breadth and
expressive qualities when she last
studied abroad, and she believes that
professional singers are always much
helped by change of environment and
need to follow up new thoughts and
ideas in their work frequently.
Archibald Sessions. who has been or
ganist at Christ church for several
years, has secured leave of absence for
touring Europe. He will be accom-
panied by his mother, and both these
enthusiastic musicians are making
plans for the vacation. Mr.. Sessions
has studied the organ in Paris before,
and this trip will be partially devoted
to work There will be some sightsee-
ing In it also.
There are so many Los Angeles stu
dents now in France and Germany
developing their vocal or instrumental
powers that these visitors from home
are assured of a royal welcome, no
matter what city they visit.
The meeting of the Dominant club
at Mrs. Shank's was interesting also
on account of the presence there of
Nine Jennie Kempton, the only honor
airy member of the club. Mme Kemp
tom was formerly one of the most
noted singers of grand opera, and her
indomitable spirit still carries her to
all those musical functions in which
she is such an honored guest. Her
presence at operatic first nights is one
of the events of the brief seasons of
opera, and all singers and instrument
talists eagerly seek her patronage and
approval when coming here to estab-
lish themselves.

PAPA, DISCOURAGED,

Uses Axe and Stamford Has One

STAMFORD, Conn.,, July S.-Any son
who has his father on his pay roll may
with advantage to himself consider the
untoward. occurrences at the Temple
restaurant here at $3.50 this morning,
when Elmer A. Temple, father of the
proprietor of the establishment, felt
called upon to make some formal eX-
preston of his annoyance at being dis
charged by his son.
1t was only a few days ago that the
elder Mr.. Temple, without any concur
renee on his part, was detached from
his sons salary list. Until that tine the
elder Mr.. Temple had regarded hlmself
as a valuable adjunct to the restaurant
business as that business is carried on
here.
When the son decided that the res
taurant would have to struggle along
without the father the latter was re-
tired on approximately half pay. TO
be precise, he got his board and GER
tain sum of money, which, handed to
him weekly, was looked upon by the
son as bulwark of sufficient strength
to keep the wolf away.
The events of early morning today
seem to show that the elder Mr.. Tenn
pie is one of those persons who dis
satisfied with living that comes un-
der the technical head of easy, always
wants to work. So piqued was ne
when he found there was no chance OF
getting an appellate decision of any
sort on the judgment of his son, that
he picked up a sledge hammer and
hatchet and proceeded directly to the
restaurant.
In Stamford restaurants are not open
at $3.50 in the morning, but even If they
were sledge hammers and hatchets
would not be worn in them by the most
careful persons. Little cared the elder
Mr.. Temple about this as he gayly
broke the front windows in his sons
food foundry and entering the place
smashed beyond any hope of recogni-
tion the two ranges on which his sons
employees were accustomed to prepare
those ter2ting viands which have
made stanford famous the world over
as a good town in which to eat. Hav-
ing placed the ranges in such condition
that not even tea could be made on
them the elder Mr.. Temple turned on
all the water faucets and flooded the
gilded cafe.
lust as he raised his arm to implant
the sledge hammer on the cash register
there came to the place a policeman.
The latter recognized Mr.. Temple and
arrested him at once.

John MUIR TO LEAD PARTY

One hundred and seventy-five South
ern Californians, members Of the Sierra
club, left Los Angeles last evening on
special train bound for Kings River
canyon, Fresno county, where they will
enjoy their tenth annual outing.
The Sierra club was organized ten
years ago, it's object being to explore,
enjoy and render accessible the noun
tain regions of the Pacific coast; to
publish authentic information concern
ing them and to enlist the support and
cooperation of the people and the gov
ernment in preserving the forest and
other natural features of the Sierra
Nevada mountains.
The Southern California division Of
the club, which left last evening, will
be joined by John Muir, the naturalist,
at Kings canyon. Mr.. Muir is presi-
dent of the Sierra club and has ar
ranged for the southern division to join
the northern division at Woodcock
Meadows today. The northern division
left the Oakland mole June 80 and ar
rived at Lemon Cove, the railroad ter
minus, the following morning. Stages
conveyed the members to the meadows,
where they will be Joined by the Los
Angeles division.
This outing is intended to awaken an
interest in and afford an exceptional
opportunity for visiting the wonderful
and picturesque Sierra region of Cali
fornia. Stages will be in waiting at
Kings River canyon for the south
erners.
The Kings river region was visited
in 1902 and 1906 by the Sierra club
members, and they were well pleased
with the outings but this trip will be
varied so as to make 1t new in many
respects Kings River canyon is con-
sidered to rival Yosemite canyon in it's
mountain scenery. Kings River can
yon branches and rebranchess becom-
ing deeper and wider and grander, until
it deploys and loses itself among the
highest peaks and grandest sceiery of
the Sierra.
Other places to be visited by the club
members are Paradise valley, Rae lake,
Fin dome, Bullfrog lake, University
peak, Kearsarge pass, Redwood can
yon, Mount Brewer, Mount Stanford
and Mount Keith.

READY To SPEND NIGHT
ON BEACH At VENICE
Crowds Swarm the Amusement
Places at Venice and Ocean
Park

VENICE, July 3.-With all accom-
modations taken tonight at hotels and
rooming houses, this city faced the
problem of caring for the great crowd
that came here today to remain over
tomorrow. Every car on the Los An
geles-Pacific system was placed in
service today and each carried a capac-
ity load on every trip to the beach. 1t
was estimated that the crowd coming
here by interurban line numbered 3d.
900, while those coming by automobile
added at least 5000 to the total. Rail-
way officials say they expect this
crowd to be increased by $4,000 tomor-
row.
All attractions here and at Ocean
Park were patronized throughout the
day by an unceasing stream of people
and thousands took advantage of the
opportunity of plunging in the surf.
The entire supply Of 5000 bathing suits
at the Venice bath house was in serv-
ice today. From early morning until
midnight the scenic railway thrilled
thousands of passengers by keeping all
it's trains in use
Although many persons were heard
to declare their intention of sleeping
on the beach sand rather than return
to Los Angeles tonight, Manager Fred
K. McCarver of the Venice dance pa
vilion announced that the big structure
would be thrown open for the accom-
mediation of the crowd as temporary
hotel if necessity required.
The Fourth of July program, which
Is the most elaborate in the history
of the beach, will continue all day and
include spectacular features, most Inn
nortant of which is to be the naval
sham battle in the sea off the break
water. This will occur in the after
noon following a patriotic concert by
the choir of the First Methodist church
of Los Angeles.

O'DONNELL'S QUICK WORK
PREVENTS FIRE SPREAD
AsphaItum Plant Damaged by
$500 Blaze

A spectacular fire, caused by an
overheated asphaltum kettle in one of
the refining rooms Of the Asphaltum
Oil and Refining company, 2475 East
Ninth street, last night for time
threatened number of other build
ings. Assistant Fire Chief O'Donnell
called for extra engines and by con-
siderable effort confined the blaze to
one small building.
The fire was discovered by passerby
who saw the flames shooting from the
top of the building. An alarm was sent
in and engine companies from nearby
station responded. The flames had
gained great headway and owing to
the inhammable nature of the stock
stored in other nearby buildings 1t ap-
peared that the entire plant was
doomed The prompt arrival of addi-
tional apparatus and the fast work OF
the firemen resulted in the flames be-
ing subdued before they had a chance
to spread.
The damage to the building is esti-
mated at $500.

NEEDLE IN MOTHERS DRESS
PUNCTURES CHILD'S HEART

BROOKVILLE, Ind, July S.-The 2
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Master, while playing about
the room, ran in glee into her mothers
arms. Mrs. Master bent over and
caught the child in her arms, when
the little one uttered sharp cry and
fell to the floor. A needle in the moth
er's dress had pierced the child's
breast and penetrated the heart. She
was in convulsions in a moment and
two physicians were called. with
every pulsation of the heart little
elevation and depression would appear
in the skin. When an incision was
made the head of the needle was ex-
posed. After it was Withdrawn the
child revived.
