CHILDREN NEED PLAYGROUND

The fund for the Los Angeles or.
phans' Home society was increased
Yesterday to S1050. The original
amount of the fund was $500, SUB
scribed by The Herald. Yesterday j.
r.. Newberry promised another $26O'
conditional on the entire $25,oVO pelng
raised. This is the amount deemed
necessary by the finance committee
for the completion Of the new orphan
age in Colegrove and for the develop
ment of Fairgrounds for the children
In all the twenty-five years that the
Los Angeles orphans home has been
run there has never been proper
place for the children to play Ill the
omen air. There Is small concrete
court at the present location, but it is
cold in winter and hot in summer 1t
is cornfortless as well as small, and
the only alternative for play is the
street
It is an admitted fact that children
should not play in the public streets
anywhere, but the women claim that
it is especially detrimental to play IN
q street in such a locality. The in
fIuences, they claim, are of the worst
and have an effect on the children
which it is hard for either school
training or the training in the nome
to overcome. Therefore the greatest
incentive for the new home Is the ad-
vantage the children are going to reap
from beautiful grounds. There will be
no feature more carefully developed on
the whole place than this-provid1ng
the necessary money can be raised,
for to have proper equipment with attn
letic instruction and development for
the children will cost about $4,000.
PRAISES WORK OF WOMEN
1.-THE work those brave women have
done in this city for the homeless little
children certainly deserves recognition
in a very substantial form from the
public" Mr. Newberry declared. "One
can scarcely regard II as q chartty-it
is. after all, only what we owe 70 the
unfortunate children and to the com
nunity itself. because 4 Is only by
such efforts that these children VIII
be made into desirable citizens.
PERSONALLY, / am the treasurer Tor
the Volunteers of America, which Is as
much as one man can handle fnan-
ciaIIy or otherwise, but what can
subscribe / do with the heartiest
pleasure and the hope that the rest
will be forthcoming in the Immediate
future. Last year my firms charities
amounted to several thousand dollars
and this year II will probably be a
much larger sum. so that we cannot
be too liberal with other peoples char
tiles except in our wishes. However,
all these works run along in about the
same line, and as long as they help
unfortunate children they should be
supported by everyone who knows
about them"

ANGELENO POLICEMAN DEALS
BLOW TO MEXICAN REVOLT
One Patriot Must Wait Twenty
Days TO Join Uprising

For twenty days at least the revolu-
tionists in Mexico must carry on their
warfare without the valuable assist
ance of Jose Ramerez. Since reading
recent inf1ammatory articles in Mexi-
can newspapers Ramerez has become
a Jealous revolutionist, and strict
American law which now prevents him
from taking up arms In the land Of his
birth worries him considerably.
For carrying concealed weapons
Police Judge Frederickson yesterday
ordered Ramerez to stay in Jail for
twenty days. The Mexican demurred
to imprisonment, but when he realized
there was no escape he went to jail,
vowing to do aplenty when his time
was served.
After reading an especially revolu-
tionary article yesterday Ramerez pur-
chased a revolver and began telling his
friends at the Plaza his plans to go to
Mexico. Among other friends" he
encountered officer Pautz, who prompt
ly confiscated the weapon and arrested
the Mexican.

possession of about $4,000, to invest
her money in an Improbable hotel,
was dismissed in Police Judge Cham

According to Deputy District Attor-

EAST WATCHES APPLE CROP
Bountiful Yield Expected in Arkansas.
Estimate s6,0oo.o0o.

Fayetteville, Ark.-The eyes of the
East are conferred on the apple crop
of Arkansas. Numerous requests have
been coming here from New York and
other eastern states inquiring as to
the prospective outcome of the apple
crop.
They have even gone so far as to re-
quest samples sent them, and in re-
Spouse to some several boxes of green
fruit have been shipped from this SET
ton lalety The eastern crops seem to
be failure this year, and therefore
Arkansas is being greatly depended
on for the supply.
Prof. Ernest Walker, an expert in
this line and who is connected with
the agricultural experiment station of
the Arkansas University, states that
although several frosts have damaged
the crop for the season, the crop will
be bountiful, the heavy foliage of the
trees having protected the small fruit
to great extent His estimate OF the
apple crop for Washington and Ben
ton counties is $6,O00,0OO.

WORKED ON DOGS NERVES
Experiments Made by French Admir-
atty to Determine Effects Of
Future Sea Fights.

Remarkable effects were produced
by the new shells in the gunnery ex-
periments carried out against the dis
carded French battleship Jena. Dogs
were placed upon the ship in order
to discover whether they would be
suffocated or injured by the shells
fired at that old hulk when the dogs
were at some distance from the point
of impact. The animals were placed
in part of the vessel which could
not be reached by the shells.
1t was found that the explosives did
not kill the animals by suffocation or
poisoning. But the dogs nervous sys-
tens suffered severely under the re-
peated action of the shells and the
resulting conclusions. The investi-
gators believed it proved that in the
next naval war the officers and crews
would rapidly become neurasthenic.
Two dogs. after being subjected to
the experiment, became somber and

Liaht on Cause Of TubercuIosls.

The sixth annual meeting of the Ma

Prevention of tuberculosis was held
in Washington on May and3. Among
the most interesting papers was one
by DR.. William H. Park, the famous
pathologist and head of the labora-
tories of the New York city depart
ment of health. Doctor Park commended
that pulmonary tuberculosis is very
rarely, If ever, caused by infection
from bovine sources, such as the
drinking of milk or the eating of meat.
tuberculosis of the stomach and inter-
nal organs, which compose only about
ten per cent. of the sickness from
this disease. are often caused by drink
Ing or eating infected matter. Doctor
Park substantiated his conclusions by
showing the results of years of inves-
tigation and examination of pathology
cal specimens. His conclusions are
substantially those reached by DIR.

FIGHT RAILROAD BILL
ROADS PROHIBITED OWNING SO
PER CENT. OF ANOTHER.
House Adopts Section Barring Higher
Charge for Short Haul Than Long
One.

Washington. The dismantling OF
the administration railroad bill pro-
ceeded in both houses of congress
Tuesday.
Section THE traffic agreement pro-
vision-was eliminated by both senate
and house; the senate struck out also
section IL, which would have permit
ted any railroad owning SO per cent
Of another road to absorb it altogether.
The section prohibiting railroad to
charge higher rate for short than
for long haul was adopted by the
house In the form reported by the COM
mittee on interstate commerce.
There is no section corresponding
to this in the bill as it is pending in
the senate.
Strictly speaking, each house was
boring holes in a separate bill-tne
senate in the bill introduced by Sen
ator EllSins; the house in the bill in
troduced by Representative Townsend
but the bills at the outset were iden-
teal, though they were made dinerent
In various respects by the committees
which reported them.
Whether either will emerge from
the final stage of joint conference is
thing nobody is prepared just now to
prophesy.
Immediately after the bill was taken
up in the senate, Mr.. Elkins, in charge
of the bill, proposed to lay on the
table the Cummins amendment re-
curing the approval of all agreements
by the interstate commerce commits
sion in advance of their taking effect.
But Mr. Cummins saved the trouble of
taking vote by voluntary taking his
amendment out Of the running. The
Democrats had agreed to vote against
the Cummins provision in considera-
ton of the adoption of the Clay amend
ment striking out the entire section.
Mr.. Elkins explained that the ma
Jority of the interstate commerce COM
mission was willing to permit the sec
ond to go out because of the appre-
hension felt by some that 1t would
have the effect of repeating the anti
trust law so far as it applied to rail-
roads. He expressed his purpose of

Abyssinia, who is reported to be a

ing the immediate succession of the
heir apparent, is a lady who was once
a great beauty and who had four pre-

wife of Menelik. Her first husband
was one Of King Theobald's generals,
her second she divorced, her third
was killed by King John, her fourth
was, as has been euphemistically ex-
pressed, removed and in 1853 she
married the late emperor. The fact is

METHoDISTS in CONFERENCE
Indications Are That Bishop Hoss viii
Win Vanderbilt Contest.

Asheville, N. C.-Unless the unfore-
seen happens, Bishop Hoss will win
the Vanderbilt University controversy
with ease. On the first test vote on
the general conference of the M. e.
Church, South, his strength was SO ap-
parent that his opponents were non
plused. They We're rudely shocked
later when their leader, Bishop e. r.
Hendrix of Kansas City, who was pres
ident of the university, read from the
episcopal address a statement which
the college of bishops directed Bishop
Hoss to prepare after having rejected
all that Bishop Hendrix had written
on the same question. 1t had been ru-
mored over the conference floor that
the college of bishops, by vote of six
to one, had Endorsed Bishop Hoss' po-
sition and that he had prepared the
message of the bishops on that issue,
so when the unusual spectacle was
presented of a distinguished church
leader reading dsKverance that did
not chime in with his own well known
attitue, the delegates were almost
knocked off their seats. Such a re-
markable affair was never before wit
messed in Methodist general confer
ence.
Our Vanderbilt" read Bishop Hen
Dirk, in rather tired voice. Instantly
everything silenced until one could al
most hear the delegates listen.
We call it ours because it is ours in
law and morals" he read on. And
with the end of the sentence broke out
round of applause that was not to be
misunderstood.
