snagged and tagged!

Nagged, snagged and tagged!
That was the experience yesterday
of every one who tried to venture
downtown without buying tag from
the Associated Charities. There We're
over 1000 men, women and children in
the downtown district selling yellow,
red, green and purple tags for the
cause of charity, and hardly any zone
could escape their pIeadings. Stran-
gers, tourists and pioneers were tagged
alike, and hundreds wore from three
to dozen tags of the various colors.
The day was by far the most sue
cessful of any tag day Los Angeles has
ever known, and as a result of the
hearty cooperation of the public-es-
pecially of the various clubs, schools,
societies. mercantile establishments
and theatrical folk-the days sales eX-
ceeded those of previous tag days by
a large number.
When it is remembered that each tag
represented 10 cents, the extent of the
charity dispensed by Los Angeles will
be seen. Long before 8 o'clock yester-
day morning hundreds of enthusiastic
tag sellers were everywhere In evil
dence, and the rivalry was keen among
all of them to see who could sell the
most tags. hobo band on hayrack
paraded the streets and caused much
amusement Right behind this band
came a sightseeing automobile filled
with women of the Associated
Charities.
SHRINERS BUSY
49, A number of Shriners, including Leo
Youngworth, Steve Brode and other
notables, clad in. ridiculous costumes,
created a great deal of hilarity and
disposed of large punches Of tags.
In front of the Hoted Alexandria was
Dick Ferris, in charge of 1.-TWO automo-
bile parties, including Florence Stone
MRS Ferris). Maud Allan. the famous
dancer. who was kept busy writing her
autograph on tags and selling them as
fast as she could write her name.
other theatrical parties kept things
humming at various places in the city.
Tho Empire, Los Angeles, Grand, Bur
bank, Orpheum and other theaters
contributed talent for the occasion, and
did much to entertain the public and
encourage tag sales
A crowd from the Los Angeles high
school inaugurated a mock prize fight,
which was tremendously funny and

.BALL|NGER THREATENS
MORE SNAKE KILLING
Special Agent Jones Creates
Scene When He DenounceS
Secretary'S Statements

WASHINGTON, May THE cross
Attorney Louis D. Brandeis was pro-
ceeding with but momentary renewals
of the frequent bitter clashes of yes
investigating committee today, when
there developed the most spectacular
incident of the hearing.
Special Agent Horace T. Jones of the
land office, who testified some time ago
in support of Louis r. CLAWS, arose
in his place among the spectators and
announced in a loud voice that he did
not believe a statement made by Sec
retary Ballinger was true, and that he
desired that a witness be called to sub
stantiate or deny what Mr.. Ballinger
had said. The statement had to do
with Jones' ability as an agent and
was attributed by Mr.. Ballinger to
Special Agent Dixon.
When the commotion in the commit
tee room following Jones' interruption
had subsided, Senator Root demanded
that the spectator be admonished that
a repetition of his outburst would sub
ject him to punishment for contempt.
Secretary Ballinger at the after
noon session, served notice that If he
continues as the head of the interior
department there was going to be some
"snake killing and it would be kept
up until the last snake was dead.
Attorney Brandeis, who has been
cross examining the secretary, wanted
to know just who was to be dropped
from the service, but Mr.. Ballinger
said the enumeration would come in
good time.
IF [ am to continue to conduct the
affairs of the department" said the
secretary "it will be with the loyal
support of every man in the depart
ment"
The committee will meet on four
days of next week in the hope that
the cross examination of Secretary
Ballinger may be concluded within
that time
