12 SHRINERS, CITY'S QUESTS, HAVE MERRY TIME SHRINERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC VISITORS WELL SATISFIED WITH LOS ANGELES Say This la Veritable Garden Spot of the World— Reception Given /J by Local Members Mott .','■ -".3 ' ■■' - Cordial TheShriners who came here to visit Los, Angeles are enthusiastic over th« beauties of Southern California In gen eral'and Los Angeles In particular. They want to stay longer than they had originally Intended doing and if they go ; before Fiesta It will be be cause the railroad companies will not extend 'their transportation, j Sunday, a little after noon, a special train arrived here, bringing one hun dred Shriners and their ladles from New Jersey, New York and Pennsyl vania. They had come here expecting to find a country beautiful, but as one eatd, they found a veritable garden of the gods. " ' '-'.VWe'vei had a royal welcome," said Dr. T. H. Mackenzie of Trenton, N. J., ,"and . frbrm what •we see of Los An geles it Is the jewel place of all tho .world.,. We traveled ■out here In a leis urely manner and stopped at almost all the places of Interest along the road. The greatest sight we saw was the Grand canyon. Words can't describe It. It Is marvelous beyond telling. When •we came out of the desert and dropped down among the orange groves It wa* a. transition hardly believable. Climate Perfect • "The climate here seems to be perfect. If there ever was a bigger hearted lot of people in the world than those that met us, I'd like to know where they : can be found. : We got a splendid wel come and we're having a splendid time. We'll have to leave here some time, but ' When we do, each one of ub will take j the . pleasantest memories and some. of us will come back." And then he turned and asked some of the wo men in the party if they were not en thusiastic over Southern California and there wasn't one dissenting voice. . .' "I've 'met Americans abroad," ' said Charles H. Traitteur, who Is In the law department of the customs service ill New -York and makes his home In South Orange, New Jersey.' "I've met Americans abroad who raved over Italy and . Switzerland, but who had never saen Niagara. Falls or the Grand can yon or California. . The only compari son that I can - make to Los Angeles and the • land around it is Southern Italy fahd that is , hardly apt J because the country here Is utterly : beyond comparison. I'm tempted to come out here and live." ■ ■ ' • .- • Give Fine , Reception ' Win. S. . Massonneau ,of Red Rock, New' York, Is thoroughly enthusiastic over the reception that the Shriners visiting • have received. "They're the finest In . the world," he said. "The Shriners here have given us a recep itlonthat we'll remember all our lives. And while we haven't had time to see ; much of Los Angeles, what we have seen has captured us one and all. I'm sorry, indeed, that the meeting of the MTOnell' was called off, but there were many of 'us who had made our plans and wouldn't be disappointed. We've had a good time ever since wei started and it has rftached its climax here." "C. Kdward Murray, is having fun. Mr. Murray : lives In. Trenton, New Jersey, and, is the quarter. master general of the national guard of his state. "Cal ifornia is, the finest ever," he says, "and Los Angeles is the finest of the fine." AiWhen .he gets to talking about the JShrlners who have taken his party in charge and are entertaining he has to stop because, as he says, he can't find any words to do the subject Justice. Want to Stay »-."We would all .like to stay for thu Fiesta," ihe said, "but our transporta tion Is limited and we must travel ac cording to. the schedule laid down for us.' What we've ■ seen will surely bring some of us back, for we have scarcely had a peep Into the beauty of the place and most of us would like to have a good look.". -.John C. Groel of .Newark, New Jer sey,'is of the same opinion as all the Test, and says that, 'while he has heard much, of. the beauty of Southern Cali fornia he was not 'prepared to find it •o beautiful as \ it really is. The -party Is. scheduled to leave here at 3 o'clock ' next - Saturday morning and will travel In a leisurely manner, stopping' off at points of interest toward the north. Their return east will be by way. of the. Canadian Rockies. They will reach New York on May 26. EASTERNERS WHO CAME SUNDAY Several Delegations.

TRUMPET ROW ENDS SEANCE MAN IN AUDIENCE MAKES DE MAND ON WOMAN Howell Hall Spiritualistic Meeting Abruptly Closed After Wordy Ex. change Between Mrs. Roberts and Mr. Hale A spiritualistic seance held at How ell's hall on South Main street last night by Mrs. Florence K. White, as sisted by Mrs. Roberts, late of St. Louis, ended with some abruptness when an unfriendly Influence was In terposed by Robert . T. Hale. There had been rapping. on all sides and messages from friends. Written questions were answered with a satis faction to all parties concerned, if veiled and platitudinous responses can satisfy. This part of the program was under the auspices of Mrs. White and when she had finished her demonstra tion she Introduced Mrs. .Roberts and a trumpet that was magical beyond belief. One, believing firmly and wishing to communicate with those long dead, could place the < mystic trumpet- to his ear and hear. It was announced. The trumpet was a semi-telephonic instru ment, because one had to say: "hello" to 'start It, but when once started It went, on apparently without an end. It was of plain and humble tin. : an instrument of wonderful simplicity con sidering the results achieved. It tel escoped, much as a telescopic pewter cup folds up, and It was plainly to be Been that no machinery, voice produc ing was hid In it, for it was open from one end to the other and those skeptical might look through It with perfect freedom. "v> -'A- ■■'■ From Tube* Depths All elements Beeni»d to be harmon ious, for several went up and talked. Just what responses came from the depths of the tin tube no one beside the 'jterson talking can say, unless it be Mrs. Roberts, who held It before her, gently, as a babe. One man went up and held a conversation with- some departed "lady friend." He seemed to be surprised to get a call, . and then when he had finished assured all those who cared to hear that he was utterly a stranger in Los Angeles, was known by none and didn't know a ioul.' ; ) The trumpet seemed encouraged- by the greatness of this praise and called a young lady down from the extreme rear of the hall. The damsel- went down front and had her talk and said with great sincerity that she had been amply satisfied, which statement was greeted with applause. '. Mr. Hale Interposes And then arose Robert T. Hale . and asked If he might have the floor. The privilege was granted him and he -.de clared that while he was a spiritualist, that he was opposed to fakes, not that he sought to raise any invidious com parisons, but merely sought the truth.- The manner in which Mrs. Roberts held the trumpet when those seeking for a message from the dead were questioning it, did not meet with his approval. The large end of it was too near her lips and gave her too "much opportunity for ventriloquism, should she care to avail herself of it. There was an exhibition of surprised indignation upon Mrs. Roberts" part. She had no thought of anything of that kind, but Mr. Hale waxed warm and made an offer of one hundred dollars in coin of the realm If she would hold the trumpet back of her and let him hear but one small, tiny whisper from the dead. Mrs. Roberts was Indignant and made plain the fact by stating it. ■ ; Then Mr. Hale made a speech. Some auditors were in his .favor and come against and while the. argument waxed back and forth, the meeting ter minated and the white winged dove of peace came down, as Mrs. White de clared the meeting at an end and every body went out. ' " WOMEN STRUGGLE FOR POSSESSION OF CHILD Mrs. Milton Carter Forced to Give Up Eight- Year.Old Daughter — Left Her Husband In Missouri Several Years Ago Two well dressed women struggled for the possession of an 8-year-old girl In front of the Central police station last night. ■ One woman was about to leave for the east with her foster daughter. The mother, Mrs. Milton Carter, sought to prevent the other woman from taking the girl with her. ' Decision was left with the desk sergeant. Mrs. Carter left her husband back In a little Missouri town several years ago and came to this city. Bhe claims to have secured a divorce, and ha» since married another man, it is said. ! The deserted husband gave his daughter into the charge of a relative. The foster mother has been In Los Angeles some time and yesterday made plans to return to the east. Mrs. Car* ter attempted to take the child from her and that started the trouble. . .Patrolman Itoy Allen escorted the foster mother and. her charge to the station and the mother, after kissing her 'child good-by, was compelled ', to glvs her up. V ; . LO9 "ANGELES HERALD; MONDAY MORNING. MAY 7, 190rl. IN HANDS OF THEIR FRIENDS "TO THE BEACH" IS SHRINERS' SLOGAN -TODAY %} Hundreds More Are Coming Today, and Continuous Entertainment la Mapped Out for the , > v, . : Visitors "Mol for a dip In the briny deep." This Is the cry of the Bhrlnern who have.^crossed the- burning sands and have; refreshed themselves by sipping camel' milk. • ■ , ' ' ' Th« visitors from the east yesterday enjoyed a spin around. Los Angeles In automobiles and to say. that. they were delighted with what they saw would put It mildly. Never has a more appreciative crowd come to Los Angeles, and all are will ing^' to give the city . her full credit for. beautiful climate, grand scenery, romantic houses and buildings com bined 1 with the most commodious hos telries'of the twentieth century. In. the .evening the. men of the 'fez entertained- themselves or were enter tained Individually. '- Many - went to the theater, while others visited with old i friends whom they had . not ' seen for ' several years. Today they will all go to Long Beach, and last night they expressed themselves as anticipating- as. good a time as youngsters ever had In the old swimming hole when- they played "hookey" from school. ' . The entire plan for entertaining the easterners has not yet- been made and cannot be completed for a, few days, for several hundred more are expected to arrive within the next three days. Many of the visitors are tarrying longer en route than was the original intention before the meeting here was declared postponed. It Is safe to say. however, that .even, though no great plans are made for entertainment all will have. a good time, for they are a jolly bunch and. most of them have a pocket full of spare change. that they are anxious to spend sightseeing.'

She said her mother had left her to shift for herself. For years she earned her own living, she' asserted, and came to Los Angeles several weeks ago in search of work.
