FIRE DESTROYS
BRUINS CABARET

Fire early this morning, believed b.
Andy Bruhn TO be of incendiary origin
completely destroyed Melbournes tav-
ern. about a mile west of the city on the
paved highway. Besides the loss OF
the building, a new piano, valued at
81 900 and costumes of the girl enter
tainers valued at 81 900 were lost. The
total loss will be close to $4,000 it is
said
The place was closed at 1.3O this
morning and within Is minutes the en-
tire front of the building was in flames.
The Ell Centro fire department was call
ed but the flames had gained such head
way that nothing remained but to pro-
tect the surrounding property.
All the dance music, drums and a full
set of traps went up in smoke.
1t is probable that the district at
torney's Office will conduct an investisa-
ton.

According to Senator lnman hereto
fore it has been generally believed the
treaty reserved to the Japanese the
right to buy this class of proprty How
ever, investigation revealed that the
treaty only gives them the right to own
"houses," saying nothing about the

Inman also announced that Guy +.
johnson, secretary of the League, is III
Placer county investigating certain Jap
anese land owning corporations with
view to instituting proceedings against
them under the provisions of the anti
alien land law.
Not only in Placer county but IN
many other counties in the state, said
Inman, the japanese have formed cor
pora tions composed entirely of Asiatie
aliens for the purpose Of buying agrlcul
tural lands. Under the law She major
ity of stock in any such agriculture
corporation must be owned by citizens
or persons eligible to citizenship de
clared Inman.
Inman said the League decided tt
make its start against the illegal Japa

is one of the strongholds Of the JapS
Eventually the corporations in the re
naming counties in the state will be in
vestigated.
! In making. it's investigation th'
League will keep a record of all agri

likely the attorney general will be re

"a DAUGHTER OF THE SUN"

"A Daughter of the SUM-" the story
Of an Hawaiian Butterfly, written by
Lorin j. Howard and Ralph I. Ketter-
ing and presented by The Mutual Play
Company, is the latest play dealing
with our island possessions, THE Par
adise Of the Pacific" which comes to the
Topic theater Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
The lure Of these islands has been the
inspiration for writers innumerable.
One OF the earliest was Mark Twain.
In the early seventies he was employ
ed by the Sacramento Union to write
a series Of letters from Hawaii, regard
ing things Hawaiian. The result was
that he spent one year in the islands
and wrote letters that are to this day
the epitome Of Hawaiian description.
Times have changed Hawaii. The
native is fast being absorbed through
marriage and his number is fast de-
creasing.
"A Daughter of the Sun" deals in a
most intelligent and interesting manner
on things and events Hawaiian The
atmosphere and local color is maintain
ed by a most extensive, elaborate and
massive scenic equipment. A native
bank Of Hawaiian musicians is also
employed, and they discourse their
own peculiar native music at intervals
throughout the action Of the play.

Representative c. J.. Lea Cd. Cali
fornia-lt is my judgment that the
presidential term should not b" in

enough for good President and too
long for q poor one. The reelection or

ercise Of popular will.
The use of patronage for personal and
party prestige and pcrpetuation Is an
evil of the first magnitude in our polit-
zeal system. The recognition OF that
fact creates the argument in favor of
one term for the PRESIDENT. A better
method, in my Judgment would be to
deprive the executive of much OF his
patronage and so far as possible place
1t on q non-partisan buSinesslike basis
The two-year term is the bane Of a

COSTS MONEY 70 RUN zoo
Pets Of Londoners Are Really Expen-
sive Propositions in the Feed
ing Line.

How much does it cost now to feed
an elephant for year? Two thousand
dollars, say the officials of the London
zoo. And a giraffe costs half as much.
So that, with the increased prices. of
food, have come new problems for the
keepers Of menageries. The meat foods
include beef, horse flesh, guinea pigs,
rats, cats, mice, rabbits, frogs, snakes,
fish, pigeons, ducks, sparrows, gentles,
snails, ants and cod liver oil. The ga
zelles buffaloes and antelopes must be
provided with rock salt. They are fed
on oats, bran, hay, green clover, to-
gether with carrots and potatoes. The
birds are the most difficult to feed sat
isfactorily. Flamingoes, for instance,
require soaked wheat, boiled shrimps
and fish cut small. Some birds are
fed largely on bullock's liver, This is
cut into slices, boiled, then put through
d mincing machine. The mince is
dried in a slow oven and preserved.
The dry mince is usually mixed with
bran or pollard. Quantities Of insects
have to be kept In stock for the insect
eating birds. These are principally
meal worms and gentles, which is the
polite name for meat maggots. But
for some birds flies and grasshDppers
are required. The monkeys require
fruit, such as bananas and apples,
while the snakes must be fed on small
animals. such as rabbits, mice and
rats.
