PASADENA EXTENDS
WELCOMING HAND
SHRINERS SEE EVERYTHING IN
CROWN CITY
Former Mayor Vedder In Chairman of
Entertainment Committee and
Proves Title la Justly
Conferred
Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, May 7.— The scimitar,
the crescent and the star of Shriner
dom flashed into the eyes of Pasa
denans today.
The caravan from the far east had.
Bent an expedition to reconnoiter in
the oasis that blooms beside the limpid
mountain streams flowing ifrom the
heart of the Sierras. The caravan en
camped beside the sunset sea will re
ceive intelligence tonight from their
expedition which will tell of a land
flowing with milk and honey.
The fame of Pasadena hospitality
will radiate through the east, told by
the tongues of those nobles of the
Mystic Shrine who Journeyed to the
Crown City and who were greeted in a
thousand places with the thousands
of hearty welcomes spontaneously
There was a greeting at the Hotel
Green Refreshments were served in
quantities sufficient to satisfy all. Ev
ery one was provided for. There was
an auto ride through the city, through
the beautiful residence sections in the
outskirts. Fez-crowned Shrincrs were
■whirled through the scenes with al
most reckless precision and with con
summate choice of the most beautiful.
The famous sunken gardens of
Adolphus Busch were viewed, the auto
•whirled around the base of a mountain
road and, in what seemed a short mo
ment, a view of the valley, stretching
away to the City of the Angels, where
other Shriner hosts were encamped,
•was obtained. The ride over, Masonic
Temple and Elks 1 hall were visited
and zem zem flowed in copious quan
tities. The city held open house and
there was nothing too good for the
Shrlners.
Seven thousand nobles visited Pasa
dena. It was rumored there would be
at least five thousand. Bolder spirits
placed it at six thousand. Nobody
dreamed of seven thousand. Yet they
came. It was the first time in the
history of Pasadena that a crowd had
teen underestimated, and it was a test
of the hospitality of which the Crown
City boasts. The test proved nothing
save that the Crown City could meet
every emergency. Grocery stores were
emptied and private families loaned
their cooks "to the entertainment com
mittee and the cooks prepared viands
that pleased.
The date bowl was filled and the
palms stretched their shade, over the
feast that pleased the palates of the
shleks.
Clayton Likes It
Imperial Potentate Clayton came to
the city in special cars with his party
and voted the city one of- the most
beautiful and most hospitable. Ken
tucky was rivaled. ,„♦•,„
Mayor Earley of Pasadena led the
welcoming van, which preceded the
solid army of citizens, striving to give
their all to the Shrlners. Pasadenans
surrendered the city and they did not
particularly care what was done with
it or with anything in it so long as a
Shriner was pleased and a visiting
noble benefited. Daughters of Isls
threw in a few white fezes to relieve
the intense red of the Shriner cap. The
handsome lawns of Pasadena's swell
est uptown hotel, the Green, was be
decked to the limit with the oriental
headgear. The crowds stood so thick
that it was almost impossible to see
the green of the lawn. The special
police had their hands full in keeping
the crowd from overflowing into the
streets and delaying the departure of
the host of visitors for the ride about
the city.
Luncheon was served on the west
lawn of the west building of the Green
hotel and it was inclosed with a can
vas barrier for the occasion. Though
the accommodations were thought
ample when arranged the crowd was
forced to wait for some time for the
finish on the feeding number of the
program. Some few tired and went to
the restaurants and while the over
flow was enough to keep the restaur
ant men desperate for a jolly hour
there were not many of the vast con
course of $hriners to desert the Hotel
Green, with its pleasant lobbies and
Its cool shades, except to take that in
comparable auto ride through the city.
Here there and everywhere was
Former- Mayor William H. Vedder, the
jolly chairman of the entertainment
committee of the local Shrlners. Un
der his direction thousands of orange
wood souvenirs were given to the
Shriner hosts and the hospitality of the
city extended.
The city council adjourned its regu
lar meeting today to participate in the
festivities of the city and to give vis
iting delegations of Shriners the glad
hand. Mayor Earley, who yesterday
took his seat, was the leader of the
councilmanlc body and the council
led the populace and the city led the
Shriners a merry pleasure chase
through scenes which were the veriest
balm of happiness.

TRAIN ROBBERS
LANDED IN JAIL
DISPATCH SAYS THEY ARE
MERE YOUTHS
Daring Attempt at Holdup Described
by Fireman of North Coast Lim.
ited — Engineer Instantly
Killed
By Associated Press.
HELENA, Mont., May 7.— A
dispatch to Sheriff Shoemaker
here says that the train robbers
of the North Coast limited have
been arrested at Basin, a few
miles from Woodville, where they
caught the train. They were
mere youths.
By Associated Press.
BUTTE, Mont., May 7.— The two
bandits who this morning held up the
North Coast Limited at Welch's spur,
murdering Engineer Frank Clow and
wounding Fireman Thomas Sullivan,
managed to elude about fifteen officers
scouring the mountains in the vicinity
of the holdup today.
Officers returning tonight from the
spur state that the trail was lost by
the prison dogs on a road leading to
Butte, where the bandits had sprinkled
a quantity of red pepper. The offi
cers have a number of spare dogs in
reserve and early tomorrow morning
the scent will be sought.
It Is the Impression that the bandits
are making their way to Butte, If they
are not already in the city limits. All
passes leading from the divide, where
the outlaws are supposed to be hiding,
Into Butte are being closely watched,
stimulus to the efforts of the officers
being added b y the announcement this
afternoon of a reward of $2000 being of
fered by the Northern Pacific Railroad
company for each of the bandits,
whether they be dead or alive. Scores
of officers are on the alert and the be
lief is expressed that with the descrip
tion they have of the robbers/furnished
by the woundec". fireman and Charles
Crawford, who was stealing a ride on
the North Coast, they will soon have
the men In custody if they have re
turned to the city.
+ Chief of Northern Pacific Detectives
H. H. Goddard arrived at Welch this
evening with four officers, confining his
search to the main divide of the
Rockies, whose ,_ heavy . timber and
rocky fastnesses are thought to be shel
tering the desperadoes until they can
make a dash into Butte.
Crawford, the tramp, was brought to
Butte tonight and lodged in Jail, pend
ing a further Investigation, as the offi
cers are not satisfied that he is telling
the truth. He Is held on suspicion that
he was one of the bandits and became
frightened when the began,
remaining with the train instead of
flying with the other two desperadoes.
The officers made an arrest near
Woodville this a-fternoon, but the sus
pect was later released, as he failed
to correspond with the description of
the outlaws.
Fresh posses will leave Butte in the
morning.
Engineer Clow was shot five times
through the body. The robbers as the:'
left the train fired a number of shots at
Conductor Culver. There is no doubt
In the minds of the officers that the
powder found in the crip is part of
LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1907.
that which was stolen from the Silver
Bow powder house last Saturday night.
Detective Mclnerny, who examlnedi the
suit case, says there were 114 sticks
of 60 per cent, nitro glycerine dynamite
in the grip packed.
Fireman Sullivan w 9 interviewed In
Livingston today by the correspondent
of the Inter-Mountain. Sullivan was
shot through the right arm. He is not
seriously wounded.
Ho says that the train was coasting
a short distance west of Welch's spur,
when two masked men, young and vig
orous, weighing about 160 pounds each
and with masks over their faces,
climbed onto the tender.. Evidently
they had been hiding between the ten
der and the express car since the train
had left Butte.
The robbers cried "hands up" and
both trainmen instantly obeyed. With
out warning one of the murderers
fired, instantly killing Clow, who had
made no resistance beyond turning on
the air brakes. A second later the
other robber s^ot Sullivan in the arm.
Sullivan fell to the floor, feigning
death. The robbers fired on him
twice, but missed, and then, as the
train came to a stop, leaped from the
tender and ran westward on the track.
This Sullivan saw clearly.
Had not Clow turned on the air
brakes It is very probable that the
robbers would have entered the express
car, as the roar of the train had
drowned the sound of their shots; but
cne remainder of the train crew were
aroused by the sudden stoppage of the
train. Seeing that the game was up
the thugs fled.
Clow's last heroic act probably saved
hundreds of lives. The grade at
Welch's spur, Itself on the top of the
divide, la very steep and the curve In
cessant.
Had both men in the cab fallen be
fore the brakes were put on the ex
press train undoubtedly would have at
tained a rate of speed sufficient to jump
the track and plunge into the canyon.
HOODLUMS CAUSE
CRUSH AT CORNER
Big Man Insults Little Woman, Who
Soon Makes Him Wish He
Had Minded His Own
Business
One of the wildest crushes of the
night occurred at Second and Spring
streets where the parade was dis
banded.
A thousand people thronged the nar
row space between the sidewalk and
the buildings, and each seemed intent
on going a different way. Finally, a
big fellow, head and shoulders above
the crowd, began forcing his way about,
regardless of anyone In his way. A
crowd followed the path he cleared
and a big jam ensued.
During the crush a little girl of 4
years was swept off her feet and seemed
In danger of being trampled under
foot despite the frantic exertions of her
mother. A young man seized the child
end bore her on his shoulders till the
mob had ceased crowding.
In the meantime, at the same spot, a
band of hoodlums attempted to take
advantage of the situation and grossly
Insulted a young woman who was ac
companied by a woman friend. The
young woman turned on her insulter
and, as the crowd nr.ade way for her,
she pursued him, striking and clawing
at his face till he wus glad to beat a
hasty retreat. The onlookers cheered
the plucky girl, but she regained her
chum and departed.
OUTER GUARD MAY
BE BUTTE SHRINER
CHOICE NARROWS DOWN TO
TWO MEN
Guardian of the Outer Portals the
Only One on Which There Is
Any Contest, as Others
Move Up
The most Important topic of discus
sion with the Shrlners yesterday was
the election which will take place to
day and "who will be the next imperial
outer guard" was the question upon
the lips of all.
By the system of choosing their
chiefs used by the Shrlners there Is
really only one officer elected each
year. After a man has served as im
perial potentate of the Ancient Order
of the Mystic Shrine for one year he
steps out and joins the ranks of the
representatives ad vltam. His place
U filled by the imperial deputy poten
tate and each of the other eleven of
ficers steps up one place. This leaves
the last office— that of Imperial outer
guard — vacant rind the representat -c
who secures this Is in line for the
office of imperial potentate.
There are seven men who have been
talked of In connection with the office,
and if is possible that one or two other
names may be brought before the con
vention, though it is probable they
will only receive a few scattered votes.
Until Monday night it was believed
that Henry F. Niedringhaus of St.
Louis was the moat likely of the can
didates for the office, but at that time
It was announced by the members of
Algeria temple of Butte, Mont., that
they were going to run J. Benton Leg
gat of Butte for the position, and last
night it was generally believed that
he would receive the election.
Mr. Leggat's name was billed to go
before the council at the meeting last
year, but when It was decided to hold
the meeting in Chicago and not in Los
Angeles some of the representatives of
Butte were unable to go and Mr. Leg
gat asked that his name be withdrawn.
When he came to Los Angeles this
year he had no intention of running
for the office, but his' friends took
things in their own hands ajid Monday
night at the reception given by Al
geria temple at the Alexandria the
hosts of the evening appeared with
yellow satin bands bearing the name
of "Leggat, Algeria" across their
waistcoats.
Mr. Leggat declined to do any cam
paigning, but said he would accept the
office If his fellow nobles chose to have
him do sp.
Mr. Leggat has been representative
from Algeria for eight years and is
one of the most popular members of
the council. Malcolm Macdonald, who
brought the Boston-Montana band to
Los Angeles, and several other prom
inent members of the temple are work
ing quietly among their friends for his
election.
The name of Mr. Niedringhaus was
proposed at the last meeting of the
Shrine in Chicago, but J. Putnam
Stevens of Portland, Maine, was elect
ed to tlie office.
"I think the race will be a close one
between Leggat and Niedringhaus the
way things look now, and indications
are that Leggat will have a little the
best of it," said one of the "wise ones"
who are in a position to know as much
as can be known.
"You never can tell how these things
are going and there may be some man
whom we do not expect who will carry
away the honors."
Other men who are in the race and
may secure the place are Ellas J.
Jacoby of Murat temple, Indianapolis;
Fred J. Schuz. Tacoma; Marcus C.
Allen of Orient temple, Troy, N. T.;
George W. Fowle, Moslem temple, De
troit, and Fred Michaels of El Katlf
temple, Spokane, Wash.
The election of today will bring Fred
Hines, Los Angeles' representative, on
the official list, one notch nearer the
office of imperial potentate. Mr. Hlnes
is now imperial priest and prophet and
he will become imperial assistant rab
ban. In 1910, if all goes well. Mr. Hlnes
will occupy the highest position in the
Shrine.
The list of officers as It will stand
at the close of the election today is:
Imperial potentate, Frank Curtis
Roundy of Chicago; deputy Imperial
potentate, Edwin J. Alderman of Mar
lon,; Iowa; . imperinl chief rabban,
George L. Street, Richmond, Va.; im
perial assistant rabban, Fred A. Hines,
Los Angeles; imperial high priest and
prophet, J. Frank Treat, Fargo, N. D.;
imperial oriental guide, W. J. Cunning
ham. Baltimore; Imperinl first cere
monial, W. W. Erwin, Wheeling, W.
Va.; imperial second ceremonial, Jacob
T. Barron, Columbus, S. C; imperial
marshal, Fred E. Smith, Rochester;
imperial captain of the guard, J. Put
nam Stevens, Portland, Maine, and the
imperial outer guard to be contested
for.
STATE MILITIA IS
ORDERED TO BE READY
The state militia has been ordered to
report to the armory and hold itself
in readiness to answer a call that is
expected to come from San Francisco.
They may have to take action on the
strike situation in that city.

SHRINEBS JOIN
NIGHT PAGEANT
(Continued from Fate Four.)
nd studded with yellow carried out the
amethyst idea.
But the most gorgeous feature of the
scene of Bplendor was the feminine beauty
displayed within the bower. Seated on a
throne of pink, guarded from in front
and behind by four attendants, sat the
queen of the entrancing scene, ft'lss Julia
Meyse. In front of her, on seats a trifle
lower, were Misses Ella and Bertha
Hasse, Florence Cox and Belle Hutchin
jon. Of equal beauty and charm were
the four maidens behind her. Misses Ma
bel Williams, Nlta Wilson, Helen Robin
son and Nellie Tufts.
Seely Wehrly, Eloi Sharbonnel, Arthur
Coover and Al Belnholl were the out
riders.
The amethyst, long known as a pious
or episcopal gem and especially sacred
to St. Valentine, one having always
been worn by the saint, was often worn
In the middle ages as an amulet and
preserver of the owner in battle, and
was also supposed to be serviceable to
persons having petitions to present to
princes.
Queen Charlotte of England owned
an amethyst necklace which was much
prized by the queen and valued at
$10,000.
The name amethyst is derived from
two Greek words, meaning "not to
inebriate," and Indicates the belief of
the ancients that wine drank from cups
made of this mineral could never have
any deleterious effect.
CATSEYE
A great black cat. Its dusky form sur
rounded by Los Angeles' fairest maidens,
represented the Cat's Eye. On the won
dering crowds his blazing eyes blinked
knowingly, and the big black tall seemed
to wag as if in sympathy with the gala
scene in which the feline was taking so
important a part. The brute's whiskers
stood out almost two feet, and his back
was arched ten feet above the beautiful
maidens- who rode at his fee!:. Around
the cat's neck was tied a monster bow.
The great arched back, the legs, the face
and tile big bushy tail, which stood
straight out, were marked with a line of
little electric lights.
The base of the float, with its fair
cargo of sweet maidenhood, was even
more attractive and beautiful. Great
masses of yellow roses were piled with
reckless profusion here, there and every
where. Pearly circles and ovals of the
same beautiful color ornamented the
sides and extremities of the wonderful
creation of the artist. Electric lights of
yellow and white lit up the entire float
with the beauty and splendor of noon
day.
Polytechnic Boys Outriders
Preceding and following their precious
cargo of beauty were four manly fellows
from the Polytechnic high school. Rid
ing on shapely horses and with a mantle
of yellow and blue thrown over their
shoulders, the boys looked the part of
medieval knights guarding the splendid
equlppage of some lady fair.
But the girls were the crowning charm
of the piece. Clad In white gowns whose
snowy purity was varied here and there
by great medalions of a mystic design In
keeping with the occult stone they repre
sented, the progress of the young beau
ties was on continued round of applause
and delighted exclamations. At the fore
paws of the big cat sat the captain of the
float. Miss Emily Bendel. Smiling and
bowing graciously to the swarming thou
sands whoße applause rent the air, she
formed a fitting figure to lead this novel
and beautiful float.
Seated by the hind legs of the animal
and flanked on either side by a great
golden shield sat Mada Ebert, Mary Carv
er and Florence Krause.
Maidens Rest on Roses
A great bank of yello wroses, studded
with Innumerable yellow lights, formed
the resting place of the rest o fthe maid
ens of the little party. Their dark hair
and gleaming eyes flashed with pleased
excitement as they. too. came In for a
share of the applause which greeted the
foremost of the little band. They were
Misses Ethel Blsh, Verna Mcrrlck and
Hazel Banks. , .
The cat's eye. a stone of mystic In
the orient, has always been esteemed as
a preserver of good fortune, the belief
being that each stone is Inhabited by a
good spirit. It is believed to be a
guardian of the owner's wealth and to
protect him from poverty. On the ori
ent the stone Is often carved in the
shape of an animal's head, this adding
tO The e p I opularUy P S CC f t-thist -this stone among
Europeans was suddenly increased
when the duke of Connaught gave one
in a betrothal ring to his bride, Prin
cess Margaret of Prussia.
WOMAN HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Had it not been for the quick action
of an unidentified man, Mrs. C. H.
Jarvis of 1660 East Twenty-second
street would have been ground to
death between a car and a wagon from
the sanitary Dairy company at Tenth
and Main streets last night.
As It was her back was badly
wrenched and her foot slightly Injured.
She was alighting from the car when
the wagon came by at a swift pace and
before she was able to get out of the
way the wagon wheel had caught
her and thrown her against the
car The man caught her as she fell
but ttie driver of the wagon drove on
hurriedly without waiting to Inquire
how badly she was hurt. She was able
to go home unassisted.
CLEAN STREETS
WIN ADMIRATION
With Approval of Mayor Harper, Chief
Deputy Laws and Helpers Get
Public Recognition for
Good Work
Because of the extraordinary good
work done by the street department in
preparing the streets for the visitors a
special letter of thanks was sent by the
board of public works to Chief Outside
Deputy William Laws which bore the
indorsement "O X" from Mayor Harper
as follows:
"For myself and in behalf of the board
I want to thank you, the foremen and
the deputies, for what you have accom
plished in the last three or four weeks
in the way of getting the streets ready
for the Fiesta.
"I have been over the paved streets
and most of the leading thoroughfares
and find them in good condition. In
fact we are told by many that they
never saw the streets in as fine condi
tion so early in the spring after a severe
winter.
"Pass the word of commendation down
the line to the regular as well as the
extra force who have had a part in this.
Every man who has thrown extra
shovelfuls of dirt, put in a half hour's
extra time, cleaned his part of the
street with extra care or done anything
extra to get our fair city ready for the
festal occasion has the element of a
good citizen in him— namely, civic pride.
"Do not forget to thank the con
tractors and the foremen of the several
utility companies and the several rail
ways who have co-operated with us in
this effort. All have done well, and
again we say, 'Hurrah for the boys of
the street maintenance department.'
Yours truly,
"D. K. EDWARDS,
"Inspector of public works."
