Y. R.c.lAD|ES ARE
H0STESSES
ENTERTAIN IN MEMORY OF
GEORGE WASHINGTON - FLAG
PRESENTATION AND MUSIC
VETERANS PRESENT.

The ladies' of the w. R. C. enter
tanned at the Sprague hall this af-
ternoon in honor of George Washing
toms birthday About a hundred la
dies were present and number of
the old veterans as well as a few Of
the younger ones.
The hall was draped in American
flags with Ratchet symbols placed
around to suggest the most talked of
event in Washington's life.
Many of the ladies were in costume
and the effect of buntings and cos
tunes was striking and pleasing.
The entertainment opened with the
presentation of the guests, George
and Martha Washington and the Ia
dies of the cabinet They were all
grouped under a canopy of flags and
made an impressive scene that re-
received great deal of appreciation.
Mrs. Harriet Gray took the part
of Martha Washington and Mr.. I. P.
Farrin represented the nations foun-
der. Ladies of the cabinet were Mes
DANES Farrin, Mozier, MacEldowney,
Leonard, Perry, Warren and Miss
Thomson, all in costume.
After the introductions, Mrs. F.
Baker presented a flag to the Span
ish-American war veterans with the
following words:
"Comrade Grimshaw, in behalf of
the Women's Relief Corps, I have the
honor to tender to the honorable or
ganization of the Spanish-American
war veterans, this flag. You will
guard well the principles it represents
We trust your efforts shall blend
with ours in keeping and preserving
it as an emblem of our nations spirit
and progress. Of a nation redeemed
and made sacred on the altar of our
country in the cause of freedom, lib
erty and justice"
Judge Grimshaw's reply could not
be gotten in time for the hour of 60
ing to press.
The rest of the program consisted
of duet by Claude and Emma Moy-
err, vocal selection by Margaret Stod-
dard, duet by Sadie Leonard and Kate
| Ulray, reading by Mrs. Webster, and
piano solo by Mrs. Meyer, and one
other.
A very tempting array of cakes
/ was in evidence and the entertain
ment was promising of success at the
hour of printing.

The special fight films at the Gem
are even better than the Johnson
Ketchel films shown short time
ago. The principals are not as i'm
portant, but the films are more en-
tertaining, and are not long enough
to get tiresome. There are four diff
ferent fights shown and one wrestling
match. In the Summers VS.. Britt
fight many of the audience disagreed
about who should have gotten the
decision. There was no doubt in the
McGovern VS.. Cans fight, as Cans is
shown in the last round absolutely
all in, and with the police standing
in the ring. The last film in the set
shows a battle between Young Cor
bett and McGovern that is one Of the
fastest mills ever seen. The enter
tanning features of the show at the
Gem today are superior to those OF
the Johnson-Ketchel films shown
some time ago.

THE CONNECTING LINK.

No doubt Washington or any other
of the Revolutionary fathers would
view with amazement the material
progress that has been made In the
century following their time, could
they return among us. But certainly
they would experience some peculiar
sensations in their attempt to adjust
themselves to present day practices
and conventionalities. 1t would not
be hygenic for Martha Washington
to use the feather iuster on her fur
niture. George would not be per-
mitted to take out the carpets or the
rugs and put them on the clothesline
to beat out the dust, because some
yard. If he should take a trip
through Kansas he would have to
carry his own drinking cup or go
thirsty in case his purse did not per-
nit a visit to the dining car. If he
were a boy in school, he would not
be permitted the exquisite pleasure
of dipping water from the school
rirl fr;n dc
He would get into all sorts of trou-
BILE.
In all this strange and modern
medley, however, there would be one
familiar aspect and this should COM
pensate for any inconvenience which
our new tangled ways might occa-
sion. With microscope he could not
detect any enlargement of the waist
line of our fair damsels over that
of Martha's or any belle of Revolu-
tionary days. There may be some
cnange IN the lines and the MODES
of drapery but these are simply the
accidents of passing years. The waist
line is the criterion by which the fun
damental differences OF one age with
another is to be measured and in this
essential there is nothing to indicate
either progress or retrogression. II
is providential that there is some
thing left to link the present age
with the days of our national infancy
The constitution has been so moii-
fed by Interpretation that the inten-
ton of\the trainers has been COM
pletely neutralized.

Louis DimOnd

The brilliant pianist, teacher and
composer, has enjoyed opportunities
in the pursuance of his art accorded
to very few. A disciple of the great
pianist and pedagogue- Rafael JOS

associated for five years as pupil and
assistant, Mr.. Dimond embodies all
the essential principles of this truly
famous school, and still further ex-
tended his vast experience in Paris
and Berlin under such eminent mas
tiers as Moszkowski and Godowsky.
Among his many public appearances
may be mentioned his unqualified sue
cess as soloist with the Berlin Phil
harmonic Orchestra, also in private
recitals in Berlin, Paris and other
large centers.

EXPECT VISITING EASTERN
FINANCIERS To BUY OIL
German-AmeriCan Company May
Enlist Member of ]. P.
Morgan & Co.

The visit of the nine financiers to
Los Angeles may bear important fruit.
1t is very probable that three of them
will be interested in the German
American Oil Land and Development
company.
Martin Erdman, formerly partner in
Speyer e. Co., will very likely become
one of the directors, while Otto Kuhn
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., as well as Alvin
Krech, president of the Equitable
Trust company, will be stockholders.
L. Waterman, the secretary of the
company, an old Wall street newspa-
per man, expects to interest more of
his former acquaintances in the COM
pany. He thinks either Mr.. Perkins
or Mr. Beaudoin of j. p. Morgan &
Co. will interest themselves with him.
The German-American Oil Land
and Development company owns out
right twenty acres in La Habra val
ley, has a lease on 100 acres in the
Newhall district, and owns a well in
the First street oil district of Los An
geles. The directors are mostly all
Herald men. Mr.. Golding is treasurer,
Mr.. Gates is vice president, While
Messrs. Mckay and Clarke are also
with The Herald. Mr. Wensel is pres
ident and L. Waterman secretary.
The stock of the company will all be
underwritten by one of the local BANK
ing houses.

DRAWS PARALLEL
ON FREDERICkS
Willard LikenS FrederiCkS' Tech
niCaI Defense to BaIIinger's
Scotch Verdict

'orhe people will win says c. D.
Willard in an editorial in the current
Pacific Outlook regarding the Wool
-Fredericks campaign. Mr.. Will
lard calls attention to the similarity
between Fredericks and Ballinger. His
editorial is as follows;
''There is an interesting similarity
between the case of Ballinger, now on
trial before the American people, and
that of Fredericks, now on trial before
the people Of Los Angeles county.
Pinchot Garfield, CLAWS and other
representatives of good government
accused Balllnger of various attempts
to assist private corporations against
the interests of the public. The an
swer of Ballinger's defenders is that
the evidence shows no crime for which
he could be sent to the penitentiary,
1.-THE reactionary definition of a
faithful and trustworthy public serY-
ant seems to be: One against whom
there is not enough evidence to get a
conviction in a court of justice The
progressive idea of a faithful servant
seems to be: 'One who is on the side
of the people,
"For each and all of the various
charges laid to his account. the King
will case, the Walter Parker intimacy,
the Harmon appointment, cost of run
ming the office, machine affiliations.
Harper grand jury failure, etc, for all
these Fredericks manages to put up a
technical defense. 1t is all unsatisfac-
tory and some of it almost ridiculous.
But the issue before the people is not
whether Captain Fredericks should go
to Jail, but whether he is the kind of a
man we want for a district attorney.
1--WE do not believe that the real
friends of good government in this
county will be deceived on this point.
BY this time rney have come to under
stand the vivid us and 'agin us prin-
ciple in politics. To put it cold-blood-
edly Fredericks Belongs with the other
crowd. If he is elected the old Parker
Southern Pacific machine will have a
representative in the very spot where
they most need one. He represents the
Times reactionary ideas in politics.
Enough has been shown to settle the
question of his real affiliations; wheth-
er or not he goes through the motions
Of a defense does not matter. In the
last analysis those who desire a dis
trict attorney that will be on the side
of the people viii vote Cor Woolwine;
those who favor the old political regime
will vote for Fredericks. IT is the
same old lineup. And we believe the
outcome will be the same that i. has
been every time we have had such an
issue squarely presented of late; the
people viii win.

SETTLE DISSENSION IN
RANKS OF REPUBLICANS
ProtraCted Row Over Question of
Johnson Reception in San
Bernardino Is Ended

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 23.-The
lican county central committee and
the members of the original Lincoln
Roosevelt league regarding who should
entertain Hiram Johnson on his visit
to San Bernardino on the night of
October 2S ended today when it was
announced that Lyman King, chair
man of the county central committee,
and DR.. w. P. Burke, state central
committeeman and president of the
Johnson Wallace County club, who
represents the insurgent element, had
reached an agreement.
The address of the candidate will be
made at the Unique theater, which
place was demanded by the Johnson
Wallace County club, under the aus
pices of the Johnson-W Wallace club of
San Bernardino, which club was or
ganized by the regulars, but on the
executive committee Of which are sew
eral insurgents President H. S. Wall
has named Mayor S. w. McNabb to
act as chairman of the evening, the
demands that the chairman be named
from the ranks of the Lincoln -Roose-
velters having been overruled. The
regulars won practically every point in
the controversy.
The bitter feeling between the regu-
lars and insurgents has resulted in
various open ruptures since the pri-
mary, and there seems to be little pros
pect that the two factions will pull
together for the election of the Repub-
lican county ticket. Threats have been
made that if the Lincoln Roosevelt
element starts a bolt to the Demo-
cratic county candidates Johnson will
be openly knitted by the organization

Picl1pockets We're active in Los An

HIRAM JOHNSON LEAVES
DAY CITY FOR SOUTH
Republican Candidate Starts on
His Final Campaign Trip
to Los Angeles

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-Hiram
w. Johnson left here tonight for the
southern part of the state where he
will campaign for the next ten days.
He will speak at Visalia tomorrow
night and will continue through the
southern counties, speaking in Los
Angeles Saturday night.
His three days rest has put him in
good physical trim. Mr. Johnson is
confident of the result of the cam
paign. He issued the following state
ment tonight:
81 am about to leave for my last trip
south. Everywhere L have found con-
ditions most favorable. People gener-
ally understand the situation and the
alignment in this struggle. They real
ize that the one hope of eliminating
the special interests from the gov
ernment lies in the success Of the
movement that has accomplished this
work in the Republican party.
1T is indeed unfortunate that our
Democratic adversaries have endeav-
ored to transmutc this campaign into
one of personal detraction. When L
commenced my campaign in the Sac
ramento valley l made no reference
to my opponent except in respectful,
and even complimentary terms. Those
present at my meetings will readily
recall this, and so will many Demo-
Gratis in the counties l first passed
through who warned me that such
a campaign would be impossible with
my adversary. 1 persisted, however,
in my effort to keep the campaign on
a higher plane than the personality of
the candidates, and, indeed, asked
no votes, nor will 1 ever ask votes
upon my personality or individuality,
or upon any assumed service of the
past.
''When my opponent made plain the
alignment of this campaign, L accept
ed the issue, and have been point
ing out and will continue to point out,
exactly the position of those who are
inimical to good government"

FRIGHTENED BACK TO LIFE
BY GONG ON AUTO PATROL

Frightened into consciousness by the
Changing of gong on the police ann
bulance, an unidentified man, who
suffered a severe concussion of the
brain when he 2ell late Saturday
night from a street car on Sunset
boulevard, near the Sisters hospital,
astonished the small group that had
assembled by springing to his feet,
dashing across vacant lot and dis
appearing.
The man is supposed to have at
tempted to alight from a moving car,
missed his footing and fell heavily
to the pavement. He was found in an
unconscious condition by a passerby
who notified the police. Before the
ambulance arrived a small crowd
gathered and several men attempted
to resuscitate the injured man. His
pulse was weak and it was thought
that he was in a serious condition.
Just as the auto patrol approached
and the gong was sounded the inert
man came to life, jumped to his feet,
looked wildly around and then dashed
away.
