SCHOOL CHILDREN'S DAY Thousands Pass Before Mildred’s Throne, Then Raise the Stars and Stripes. VETERANS AID THE SCHOLARS. The Emblem Swung to the Breeze by Men Who Were Foes in the Civil War, LOS ANGELES, Cav., April 24.—The elements this morning afforded the oldest inhabitant an opportunity forevil predic- tion which be could not resist. The wind blew from the southeast, while scudding clouds hurried from the mountains toward the sea. The oldest inhabitant cast furtive glances heavenward, shook his head and remarked: “No festivities to-day; bigrain, sure—never knew these signs to fail.” There wasa light mist from 8 to 100’clock— a nice dust-layer, that was all. It was cloudy the rest of the day, but warm. It was the kind of afternoon that the Super- intendent of Public Instruction would have ordered could he have had a voice in weather bureau affairs, The afternoon was given up to the school children, and the exercises eclipsed any other outdoor feature of the week. There are more school children in Los Angeles, so it is said, in proportion to the | total population than in any other city of i the United States. They were out and took part in the parade, and an imposing and splendid procession it was. A 1 0’clock long lines of children began to gather in the vicinity of the queen’s tribune. The fiesta tricolor adorned each | youth and maiden, while the red, white and blue was seen in fluttering riobons and silken sashes. The little gowns of the little girls were almost white, and the ef- fects of the soft colors was very pretty. Each face glowed with happiness and pa- triotism. The marching was superb. The line of march was in the following order: Roncovieri's American band. First division—Commander, W. H. Housh; | 8ids—T. J. Phillips, W. 0. Lowe, K. Isascs, M. C. Bettinger, W.

At the Queen’s tribune the scene was a charming one, and her Majesty, seated on | a scarlet canopied throne, beamed upon the youthful subjects who paid her hom- age. After the review at the tribune the several divisions formed in line, marched down Hope street to Sixth and thence to the park, where the flag-raising took place. | Thirteen boys from the High School carried the stars and stripes, the gift of | Sir John R. Francis, president of the Fiesta, to the school children of Los An- geles. The emblem-bearers were: Charles Stedman, Edward Kusor, Harry H. Carr, Roy Gibbs, Edward Sherer, Simpson Sinsa- baugh, Frank Inverarity, Frank Bugbee, Morgan Galbraith, Paul Dougherty, Guy Hogan, Earl Lewis and Pierce Johnson. The flag was 30 feet long and 15 feet wide, and of the finest bunting. Surrounding | Old Glory, in a hollow. square, were forty- five girls typical of the forty-five States. | There are just forty-five public school buildings in this city, and one representa- tive had been chosen from each school. The exercises at the park were impres- sive. The great pole, 150 feet high, was in place in its solid foundation, and typified the forests of the Pacific, the source of much of California’s wealth. All the men chosen to hoist the great flag had served i the late war and the biue and the gray united in unfurling the banner. The “‘blues” were: J. S. Pitman, private, Com- pany B, Twenty-fourth Iowa Infantry; W. A. Kennedy, first heutenant, Company K, First Pennsylvania Cavalry; J. L. Skinner, captain, Company D, Twenty-seventh Massachusetts Infantry; and the ‘‘grays'” were: 8. R. Thorpe, private, Comprny A, Second Keutucky Cavalry; Johnstone Jones, private, Company B, White's Bat- talion, Elliott’s brigade, Hardee's army; Henry L. Flash, aid to General Joseph ‘Wheeler. The 2000 school children stood in rank and file around the great liberty pole. The presentation of the flag was charm- ingly made by Miss Nannie Longiey of the Los Angeles High School. The flag was received by Mayor Rader, who made a few remarks in a patriotic strain. H. T. Lee then delivered a short address to the as. sembled children, urging strongly a regard for the National emblem, This closed the exercises, and the ¢ ildren, with the bands playing and colors flving, marched away, leaving Old Glory fluttering in the breeze from the top of the tall mast. The Evening Express to-night said: A token of good feeling and gdmiration on the part of the representative business men of San Francisco for the citizens of Los Angeles was shown this afternoon by the wide distribution upon our streets of a bandsome little pamphlet entitled “San Francisco's Greeting to Los Angeles.” It consists of thirty-two pages, illustrated with engravings of many of California’s prominent men in political and social and commercial life; and encased in a finely designed cover in four colors. Such widely known men as Claus Spreckels, John D, Spreckels, Senator George C. Perkins, Wil- liam H. f. Hart, Charles M. Shortridge of Stein, B. THE CALL, Jacob Neff and Julian Sontag are represented in the souvenir and send their greetings to Los Angeles on the occa- sion of the greatest of her great annual fiestas. The title page is devoted to the following announcement: ‘‘To foster this good feeling existing between the two portions of the State and to promote that iriendly rivalry which means the best for California as a whole, the center and north send greetings to the south, accepting the auspicious occasion of la fiesta and its triumphs as the most fitting time for con- gratulations to Los Angeles, the city that has set the pace for Western progress, public enterprise and prosperity.” gaimyiniggin s FIESTA GUESTS DANCE. Queen Mildrec and Her Court Attend the Annual Ball LOS ANGELES, Car.,, April 24, —1In pleasant contrast to the din on the streets to-night was the fiesta ball at Hazard's Payilion, where Queen Mildred held court and the elite of her realm danced to please her gracious majesty. Never before in Los Angeles has society done itself so proud; nor has it before at- tempted anything on such a scale of gran- deur and magnificence. The vast pavilion, whose interior on ordinary occasions is almost barnlike in its homeliness, to-night seemed trans- formed into a fairy palace. The walls and rafters were hidden behind curtains of delicately tinted yellow sheeting which formed a restful background for the two more brilliant colors—red and green—used in the decorations. From the center of the vast dome huge scarlet festoons extended to the four corners of the roof. On the vellow clothed facades of the proscenium and galleries was a delicate tracery of ivy and ferns, with here and there huge bunches of scarlet leaved poicimas, The floor was covered with white ducking. The stage on which was erected Queen Mildred’s throne was similarly decorated. The beauty of the decorations was as nothing compared to the beauty of the Queen herself, her maids of honor and all her brilliant company. When Roncovieri’s concert band began the music for the first waltz, the ‘‘four hundred” of Los Angeles, re-enforced by the smartest people from Pasadena and other Southern California towns, were on the dancing floor, while the galleries were crowded with thrice four hundred others who had come as spectators. Notable among the male participants in the ball were Captain Cattern of the United States ship Philadelphia and his staff officers, as well as the officers of the United States ship Albatross, all in full-dress uniform. All the military officers in attendance at the fiesta were algo 1n uniform. The evening’s programme was opened by the Queen’s maids of honor, who exe- cuted a minuet for the delectation of her Majesty and with great credit to them- selves. The grand march was led by Mr. and Mrs. Ezra T. Stimson of Los Angeles, seconded oy Mr. and Mrs. Shirley Vance Martin of Pasadena. After the grand march Major E. F. C. Klokke, who acted as master of ceremonies, presented each of the visiting naval officers to the Queen’s Prime Minister, Hon. T. E. Gibbon, who in turn presented them to the Queen. They were afterward introduced to the | maids of honor, each of whom favored the everal officers with a dance during the | evening. The programme, which consisted of twenty-four numbers, was a delightful one. Supper was served from 11 until 1 o'clock in a dining-room adjoining the | pavilion, which was tastefully decorated. The floor committee included Ezra T. Stimson, R, H. Howell, Alfred Solano, John T. Griffith, Shirley Vance Martin, Ernest F. C. Klokke, William Lemoyne ‘Wills, Charles C. Carpenter, Hancock Ban- ning, Clarence A. Miller, Frank G. Schu- macher, William M. Garland, Frederic B. Henderson, Carl Kurtz, Charles H. Hast- ings, Henry J. Fleishman, Jack Jevne, Will Norris, Loren D. Sale, William A. Barker and James Slauson, e ODD FELLUWS MARCH. Three-Link Brethren of Southern Cali- fornia Celebrate. i LOS ANGELES, CaL, April 24.—The | 0dd Fellows shared honors with the | school children this afternoon in the matter of parades. At the time that the | juveniles were marching 1n review before | the fiesta Queen and raising the big flag in Central Park the brethren of the three links were celebrating the seventy-seventh | anniversary of the founding of their order in America, Nearly all the Odd Fellows | in Southern California took partin the bi, parade, which, aside from the carnival festivities, brought a great many peovple to the city. The parade was to have taken place in the forenoon, but was postponed | until 2 o’clock in the afternoon on account of rain. The line of march was thronged by thousands of spectators, who cheered lust- ily as the procession passed. Brigadier-General Crossett of San Fran- cisco commanded the Patriarchs Militant, of whom six cantons—Orion, San Diego, Riverside, Tulare_ Los Angeles and Lyon —were in line, foilowed by twenty-tive | lodges and encampments from various | Southern California towns. The Seventh Regiment, N. G. C., commanded by Col- onel John R. Berry, headed the proces- siop. This evening Cantons Orion, San Diego and Riverside gave exhibition arills at | g‘ulmer Hall, after which there was a grand all. e P FINDS A COKPSE AT HOME. August Barandon’s Girl- Wife Took Her ZLife While He Celebrated. LOS ANGELES, CAL., April 24.—August Barandon, a barkeeper, was out celebrat- ing the fiesta last night, leaving his girl- wife at home alone. Barandon did not go Lome until morning, and his wife was dead when he returned. She left a note beside an empty morphine bottle saying: I die to-night of my own free will by tak- inz morphine.” She was only 17 years old, and married Barandon in San Ber- nardino last August. T el Mrs. Susanna Howells, Jordan Dead. LOS ANGELES, CAr., April 24.—Mrs, Susanna Howells Jordan, a prominent artist and newspaper writer, well known in Oakland and San Francisco, died in this city last evening. Mrs. Jordan was the aunt of City Kditor Bell of the Oaklana Enquirer, a sister of Wiliiam Hooper Howells, editor of the Newark (N.J.) Evening News, and a cousin of the novel- ist William Dean Howells. Ch:cago Land Suits. CHICO, CaL., April 24.—Two important suits were begun in the Superior Court te- day by O. P. C., Goodspeed, Jennie M, Snowgrass, Annie A. Stanford and Flor- ence N. Goodspeed and Roland C. Good- speed, minors, by their guardian, R. C. Goodspeed, against Charles F. Hanlon of San Francisco, at one time the attorney of Mrs, Goodspeed, deceased. The complaints are to quiet title to a large tract of land in Butte and Glenn counties and set up the ownership by the plaintiffs and that the de’endant is without right to the real estate. They pray that a decree of court be entered ugiudzing that the defendant has no estate in the lands; that the title of plaintiffs is valid, and that the defend- ant be enjoined from asserting any claim to the property.

Coast and Santa Cruz Divisions to Be Consolidated—Superintendent Fill- more to Be Dropped. SANTA CRUZ, Cawr., April 24—It is reparted here that on June 1 the Southern Pacific Company will consolidate the coast and Santa Cruz divisions, with Superin- tendent Frazer in charge. By this move the offices of Superintendent L. Fillmore and Roadmaster R. W. Baxter will be abolished, together with the positions ot their clerks, operators and others. Need of more economy is given as the reason. It is said that Mr. Filimore is well fixed financially and. can well afford to retire. It is supposed that, with the exception, possibly, of R. W. Baxter, the others will be provided with positions in some other branch of the service. T. C. Masteller, Department Commander of the California G. A. R. [Reproduced from a photograph.] officers, C. T. Masteller of San Francisco being chosen department commander without opposition. General Masteller has held the position of assistant adjutant- general for this department. There was scarcely a trace of a contesting spirit in the election of any of the officers. Besides the election the work was purely of a routine character. The same spirit of unanimity obtained in the meetings of the Sons of Veterans, the Woman's Relief Corps and the Ladies’ Circle, G. A. R. Santa Cruz is honored with two leading Judge L. F. Smith being chosen advocate of the G. A. R. and Charles C. Houck division commander of the Sons of Veterans. Judge Smith isa well-known attorney of long practice, and Mr. Houck is one of the younger men in the Sons of Veterans. He is an sattorney, also, but young in years and in legal practice. The next encampment will be held at Salinas, and that town may thank Jesse D. Carr, one of the wealthy men of Mon- terey County. He came here in person and volunteered all the monetary assist- ance that the old soldiers of Salinas would need to make the encamapment a success. The delegates and visitors to-night de- voted themselves to pleasures of a social character. The old soldiers who love war reminiscences sat down to a bulishead dinner and called the affair a campfire. The Woman’s Relief Corps danced at the Sea Beach Hotel and the ladies of the G. A. R. held a reception at the Pixley. The Veterans and the Sons of Veterans not at the campfire were divided between these two places. Following are the officers elected by each of the four organizations: Grand Army of the Republic—Commander, T. C. Masteller of 8an Francisco; senior vice- commander, L.

Thur- man of Typographical Union Takes the Place. The Labor Council of this City has a new secretary. He is E. W. Thurman of the Typographical Union, and he was unanimously elected to the office last night after the compulsory resignation of the former incumbent, E. P. Burman, was announced, Burman, who was long recognized as one of the most energetic and tireless workers for the good of the Labor Council, was compelled to tender his resigna- tion because his union, the Amaiga- mated Woodworkers, had on last Tuesday withdrawn from the council ana consequently made him ineligible as an officer of it. The council in a vote of thanks expressed its appreciation of what the retiring secretary had done in the past, and added a hope that things might very soon be amicably arranged so that his union might resume1ts former relations with the council. The _difference of opinion had been caused over the de- termination on the part of the council to preserve itself as a non-political organiza- tion devoting its attention exclusively to industrial and economical questions and leaying ?olmcul 1ssues to be dealt with by an auxiliary body formed in the interests of union labor, each union to send a dele- gate to both bodies. The dissenting union objected to this arrangement, but Secre- tary Burman said himself that he thought his union had made a mistake. Vice-President J. ¥. Bruns, who presided al the meeting, announced that a danger- ously successful cigar- making machine bad recently been introduced in New York, a machine that threaten to displace skilled hand workmen, as it can be run by unskilled child labor and turn out 2000 ci- gars a day, or 12,000 a week, at a cost of only about §3, where the skilled hand workman would have received $120. While he looked upon the prospect gloomily ev- President McArthur in a rousing, encour- aging speech said that machinery has been disp! acing hand labor for years, and un- ions are still feasible and men still manage to Itve. The electrical workers reported that trade with them is fair and that at every meeting they are increasing their mem- bers. The Sailors’ Union reported a large number of their men snipping to Alaska. They had secured a raise of $5 & month on the wages of men sailing out of the port of Eureka. They were also encouraged over the prospects of several bills favorable to :g;;nen being passed by Congress this ses- ————— McGlynn’s Trip South, The following letter from M.

MOGLYNN, A DEAD BABY IN A CUSHIONED PEW Grewsome Discovery of the Sexton of St. Francis Church. ANOTHER CHILD MURDER The Coroner’s Autopsy Showed That the Infant Had Been Smothered. NO CLEW TO THE ASSASSINS Detectives Fail to Find Any Trace of the Unnatural Parents of tke Child. The body of a murdered babe, white as ‘wax, excepting where here and there re- pulsive blotches of blood disfigured its tiny form, was found in one of the pews of 8t. Franeis Church, corner of Montgomery avenue and Vallejo street, last evening. The discovery was made at8o'clock by James Mullan, sexton of the church. It was a large baby, weighing nearly twelve pounds, and had been born alive, presumably but a few hours prior to the time it was found cold in death on its strangely sacred bier. Two newspapers carefully folded and tied around the form sufficed as a coffin and served to hide the lifeless form from view. At 7:30 o'clock the church was opened for devotionai services,” said Sexton James Mullan last evening, ‘‘and between that time and 8 o’clock many people came and went from the building. *I noticed no one carrying a bundle, and am at a loss to understand how it could have escaped my notice. After the services had concluded I passed through the church in order to see that no one was left in the building before locking up for the night. **As I reached the last row of pews, just in front of the door I noticed a package. Thinking that some one had forgotten some bundle I concluded to remove it to the vestry to await its owner. As I raised the package I was horrified ‘o feel the face of a dead child through the paper wrap- ving. Iimmediately dropped it, but after thinking a few moments decidea to carry it into the vestry, which I did. The next thing to do was to have the Morgue officials notified, but as they were out at the time, the child re- mained in the house nearly five hours, much to the discomfort of its occupants, *‘Whether a man or a woman occupied the seat where I found the baby’s body I cannot say. So many people pass in ana out during an evening’s service that it is impossible to notice every one, and two people, or even more, might have been responsible for the wretched act.” The body was that ot a male child. It had unusually long hair of a light brown color. Its eves were blue and the body had the appearance of a perfectly healthy child. All indications pointed to murder by smothering, Dr. J. S. Barrett held an autopsy on the body, and is of the opirion that the child died from suffocation. Its lungs were full of air, showing that the chiid had lived some time after birth. They were also badly congested, which, although mnot absolutely conclusive, is almost a certain symptom of death from suffocation. Its dimpled face was also | badly contorted, as if the tiny child had suffered extreme pain before death came to its relief and ended its misery. The police were notified as to the finding of the body by the Morgue officiuls as soon as possible, and some of the best men in the department were detailed on the case. 1t will, no doubt, be a difficult task to find the perpetrator of the outrage, as not the slightest clew is yet visible on which the detectives can work. Francisco, comprising seven districts, lying within the Fifth Congressional Dis- trict. - In Santa Clara and San Mateo counties the county committees decided to ap- point delegates, and in these counties no contention has arisen, so that the delega- tions from those two counties will receive merely formal approval. The only nuts the committee will have to crack will come from San Francisco, and these are likely to be two soft-shell almonds. There are two contests filed with the committee for its consideration. One is the contest from the Thirty-sey- enth Assembly District tiled by some of the representatives of the defeated opposition ticket run in that district, from which contest at least two of the candidates of the opposition ticket have withdrawn, and the other is tbe farcical coutest filed by Leon Dennery, who resided for some months, for private reasons, in the Bur- lington lodging-house, in the Twenty- eighth District, and who was thereafter ousted from his seat in the County Com- mittee on the ground of non-residence. C. G. Clinch, a member of the Yosemite Commission and one of the leading Re- publicans and business men of the Korty- first District, was appointed in his stead. At the recent regular primary the Re- publicans of the Forty-first District united in support of the regular ticket, in support of the regular party authorities and in support of decent politics, but Mr. Dennery, who has uoufin to preserve his authority and his affiliation with the Kelly-Mahoney remnants of the Burns elements, set up a little district primary of his own, and thereafter filed with much gravity the interesting documents which the attorneys for Keily and Mahoney drew up for Lim. A contest fromr the Fotieth district was also filed. When the meeting of the Congressional committee was called to order in the law office of Secretary Jobn E. Richards, in the Crocker building, at 11 A. M. yosterday, those present were James W. Rea, chair- man; John E. Richards, Robert Toplitz and W. B. Lawrence. The committee found before it the regu- larly certified returns from Santa Clara County ana from the County Committee- men representing the seven Assembly dis- tricts of San Francisco lying within the Fifth Congressional District, together with the contests from the Thirty-seventh, Fortieth and Forty-first Assembly Dis. tricts. The “contest’”’ from the Forty-first district was in the nature of a humorous set of regular returns rather than in the nature of a protest. It was found that the County Com- mittee of San Mateo County had not yet submitted 1ts returns, and in view of this fact and also in view of the abserce of sev- eral members of the committee it was de- cided to adjourn the meeting without further action until Wednesday next, April 29, at which all the memboars of the committee are expected to be present. That meeting will Ee held in the office of John E. Richards, and at that meeting the returns and the contests will be con- sidered.
