MILITIAMEN URGE
BILL'S PASSAGE
WANT LAW TO REGULATE USE
OF UNIFORM
Officers Indorse Measure Drafted and
Call on Legislature to Act
Before Session
Adjourns
Officers of the California mllltla are
determined to gain legislative recogni
tion in the passage of ft law making it
a criminal offense for any person or
persons, other than those regularly
commissioned in the army or navy, to
wear uniform or insignia of an Ameri
can soldier.
Captain J. Irving McKenna, com
manding' Company F of the Seventh
regiment, N. G. C, has prepared the
following bill and forwarded It to
Sacramento for the consideration of
the legislature before It adjourns:
,<"The people of the state of California,
represented in the senate and assem
bly, do enact as follows: . •<
"Section 1. A new section is hereby
added to the Penal code, to be num
bered 735, to read as follows: Any
person or persons who shall wilfully
don or wear the prescribed regula
tion uniform, either dress or fatigue",
or the insignia of rank, of the national
guard or naval militia of the state
of California, In said state, unless be
ing a duly or regularly enlisted man,
commissioned officer or retired officer
therein. Is guilty of a misdemeanor.
"Section 2. This act shall take effect
from and after Its passage."
Much Agitation Started
The publication of an interview with
a' prominent officer of the naval militia
in Monday's Herald, relative to the
need of action looking to legislation
restricting the use of the uniform to
those properly enlisted and commis
sioned, has occasioned considerable
agitation, and notwithstanding that
the lawmakers at Sacramento are pre
paring to come home in a few days,
they will be urged to pass the Mc-
Kenna measure.
Commander E. J. Louis of the naval
militia Is leading the new movement,
and judging from all reports, he is
meeting with much encouragement.
General Robert Wankowski, Col. W. G.
Schrleber, Captain Perry Weidman,
Captain George W. Bauer, Adjutant
General Lauck and other prominent
militiamen and citizens are taking
great interest In the question and say
they will do everything In their power
to bring about the desired result.
• Here are some of the things these
men have to say:
Views of Officers
General Wankowski— l am heartily In
favor of the proposed legislation. We
should not only take it up in Califor
nia, but we should endeavor to secure
national 'aid. The uniform of an
American soldier, either in the army
or navy, Is no play thing:, and It should
certainly not be used by every Tom,
Dick and Harry. We hold our flag
sacred and so should we regard the
uniform of our soldiers, since they are
the ones who are called on to defend
the flag. It is not right for organiza
tions or persons to adopt the uniform
of the army or navy, as such only
tends to lower the dignity to which
they are Entitled.
Captain Perry Weidman — This is a
measure that should command the sup
port of every legislator. Our uniforms
are being scattered about too freely
and something should be done to stop
this practice. It is setting so that
every officer of almost any organiza
tion, where uniforms are used, wants
to don the same clothes and insignia
prescribed for ' the army and navy.
For my part, I do not believe that a
police officer should be allowed to wear
a uniform similar to that used in the
army. lam heartily in favor of the
proposed legislation.
Schrieber's Strong Words
Col. AY. G. Schrleber — I am -in favor
of the movement that has been under
taken; not, however, because I feel
that my dignity as an officer of thn
national guard has been lowered, but
fimply because there is a limit to all
things, and certainly this is a case
where It has gone almost too far.
There is a law prohibiting anyone from
using the flag for advertising purpo
tes and surely there should be some
protection afforded the army and nnvy
uniform. I don't believe that the uni
form in. which our soldiers fight, bleed
and die should be belittled it. any man
ner, shape or form. It Is too sacred a
thing for that.
■ It Is argued by many that some of
the secret orders have adopted uni
forms and lnsignlas similar to those
of the army and navy, and the preß
ent agitation is directed against them
just as much as any other body or
bodies. There is a law prohibiting
non-Interested persons from using
badges and buttons of secret organiza
tions for personal gain, and it is urged
that such being the case the soldiery
of the country should be accorded the
same protection.

MAY BE MURDER
MUTILATED REMAINS FOUND
AT BIXBY STATION
Victim Believed to Be M. H. Ransome
i of Sixty.Ninth Street and Holmes
Avenue — Wife Cannot Ex.
plain Mystery -/ ,
The mutilated remains of a man sup
posed to be M. H. Ransome, who had
been living at the corner of Sixty
ninth street and Holmes avenue, were
found on the tracks of the Salt Lake
railroad a short distance south of
Bixby station by a trackwalker early
yesterday morning. Bixby station is
on the line between Los Angeles and
Long .Beach.
\ At the point where the accident oc
curred the tracks of the Salt Lake
and the Long Beach line of the Pacific
Electric company run parallel and close
together for some distance, and as
there was considerable delay in remov
ing the body several electric cars load
ed with pleasure seekers passed, the
grewsome stains on the other track
being plainly visible.
The appearance of the remains would
Indicate that the body had been on
the track all night and had been
paused over by the many night freights.
The body had been ground into pieces
and parts of it and bits of clothing
were scattered along the track for a
quarter of a mile.
The only means of Identification
found by the coroner were a card, part
of the clothing and the shoes. The
card bore the name of M. H. Ilansome.
The remains were taken to Long Beach
where S. W. Meyers partially identified
the clothing and shoes.
Ransome has a wife and two chil
dren. He left home two days ago, In
tending to go to . San Pedro • for a
day's fishing, but he has not returned,
neither has he been heard from and
this fact, together with the other evi
dence, leads the authorities to believe
that the dead man is Ranßome.
One theory which Is advanced as the
most plausible Is that Ransome was
returning home from his fishing expe
dition, and as he could save considera
ble time by catching a Faciflo Electric
car. to the city suddenly decided to
jump from the train, which might
have slowed down for a switch which
Is located near this point, and take the
first car which came along on the other
track. It is supposed that he missed
his footing in the darkness and fell
under the wheels of the train, and lay
there during the night.
Mrs. Ransome Bald her husband had

It Is known that one M. 11. lUn»ome

once was. a detective in the employ of
the Pacific Electric company and a
theory has been advanced to the effect
that in his official capacity- Ransome
had made enemies, and that some of
these may have killed him, taken all
of his valuables and ■ papers which
would serve to Identify the body, over
looking the single card, and then placed
the body on the railroad track to cover
up -their crime.
CHURCH FOR CHILDREN
PLAN OF FELLOWSHIP
B. Fay Mills Will Establish Branch
Supplementary to Work of
Sunday School
Rev. B. Fay Mills will, inaugurate a
new departure in the religious life of
the city by the establishment of a
children's church, located in Emerfon'B
hall, 344 South Hill street, opposite
Masonic tqmple.
Parents are requested to bring all
children from three to twelve years of
age to the children's church, where
they will be In charge of experienced
teachers who will . adopt kindergarten
methods In connection with other bene
ficial and spiritual work. .The, plan is
to escort all the children, at the close
of the service, across the street to Ma
sonic hall, where they will meet their
parents or may be privileged to remain
during the regular Sabbath school ser
vice. The children's church Is designed
as supplementery to the Sunday school.
It Is said that the work of the Fel
lowship Boclety has grown so' rapidly
that Simpson auditorium will be se
cured for the regular Sunday services,
since Blanchard hall and Masonic hall
are not large enough to accommodate
the people.
Another feature of the Los Angeles
Fellowship which will be enjoyed to
morrow evening Is also considerable
of a novelty. It Is a social to be held
In Masonic hall promptly at 8 o'clock,
when the. Fellowship Dramatic com
pany of amateurs will give the comedy
entitled "A Box of Monkeys." The
admission Is only to members of the
Fellowship and their invited guests.
The playlet is In two acts, and doors
will positively be closed during the
acts. Dancing from 9 to 11 will follow
the play, music being furnished by the
Fellowship orchestra.

ington street.

AUCTION OF BOXES
NETS LARGE SUM
3risk Bidding- for Choice Seats at
Modjeska Performance of
"Winter's Tale"
A total of $680 was . bid for the six
lower boxes and loges for the Modjeskn
performance of. the " Wlntei - 's ' Talo','
at: the auction held at Blanchard hall
yesterday afternoon. The highest price
was paid by Madame Hancock, who
gave $155 for a box and 'loge, the bid
ding going on briskly under the en
couragement of Joseph Scott, who acted

$105; Madame Hancock, box F, $105.
The upper boxes will be disposed' of at
private sale. ' V ',-^. : '''^/ -'■;'!
The sale of seats which Is going on
briskly indicates that the 'appearance
of Madame Modjeska in the role of
Hermlone, the first time It Is. to be seen
on the coast and the first also that she
has acted In the part, Is looked forwarj
to with more than ordinary interest.
The crowd at the auction was not large
but the rivalry was keen and a num
ber of applications for the unsold boxes
were made by persons unable to attend
the sale. . Some seats still remain down
stairs. ■ The . demand for the lower
priced seats in the balcony and gallery
Is also brisk. *
The proceeds of the benefit will go

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Ellery Band Concert
A' remarkable program was present
ed last night by the Ellery band at
the Chutes theater and it attracted one
of the largest and most fashionable
audiences of the season.
The pieces played were all classical,
from beginning to end, and during tha
entire evening there was 'not .'a single
lapse from the highest artistic "stand
ard, either of : Interpretation or. execu
tion. Signor Ferullo,, inspired 'by. the
great audience, outdid .•.himself;' ln the
expression of emotion and each num
ber as It was played drew forth en
thusiastic demonstrations^ from" the de
lighted hearers.' , "VvJ ■<:.;'
The only new number on the list
was Batiste's "Organ' Offertory," of
which a manuscript arrangement was
played for the first time. by the Ellery
musicians. Signor. Palma ' played the
Grieg "Sunshine Sons," -with" all hla
accustomed sympathetic expression
and loveliness of tone, and by speclul
request gave Nevln's "Rosary" for an
encore. ■ ■
Many boxes were occupied by asso
ciate and active members of the Los
Angeles Chcfal society.
On Friday evening the band will pre
sent two of Puccini's operatic num
bers, "La Tosca" and "Manon Le
scaut," the second of which Is consid
ered by many musicians of this city
to be the finest selection- in the reper
toire of the Ellery band. Wagner's
"Rlenzl" overture, Maßcagni's "Dance
Bsotlca" will also be played and for
the first time this season Weber's "In
vitation to the Dance."
For the special performance of "La
Travlata" on Saturday evening there
has already been a large demand i for
seats.

PLANS FOR DETENTION
HOSPITAL CONSIDERED
The meeting of the board of health
last night was devoted principally to a
discussion of plan* for the proposed
new" detention hospital. The bonds
have been sold and $50,000 has been
provided for the site and buildings. "The
council has appointed Architect "Johil
C. Austin to prepare the plans.
It Is assumed that the board of health
will be called upon to approve of the
plans. Architect Austin has submit
ted a rough sketch of his plans to Dr.
Joseph Kurtz, who called the attention
of the board to this plan last night. I
This led to a general discussion ■of
the proposed structure or > structures.'
Members of the board are conßlderlnjj*
the advisability of keeping the small
pox patients In an entirely • separata
building. It Is probable that this plan'
will be adopted. In case this lsdonej
more land will be needed, either. ln t\\>\
neighborhood of the proposed hospital
site or in some entirely ' different ] part
of the city. A committee consisting"
of Drs. Kurtz and Pallette ."was. apV
pointed to make an Investigation ; ami
report upon the question of sites.' ;
