LOS ANGELES IS
IN GALA ATTIRE
CITY BEAUTIFULLYDECORATED
FOR ELKS' REUNION
PURPLE AND WHITE BLEND WITH
RED, WHITE AND BLUE
Hotels, Department Stores and Office
Buildings Festooned with Flags
§and Bunting—Evergreen Used
at the Alexandria
Elks' week and the Fourth of July
combined to make Los Angeles Indeed
a city of the angels. Every street and
thoroughfare presents a dazzling dis
play of bunting, red, white and blue
interwoven with the purple and white.
From every flagpole and from every
building: fly the Stan and stripes. No
fiesta de las Sores, nor celebration of
any kind, has equaled In elaborateness
of display and quality of design the
present decorations of the Angel city.
Every downtown building is be
decked with American flags, purple and
white bunting, and elk heads, grouped
into novel and artistic designs, no
labor nor expense having been spared
to attire suitably Los Angeles as
hostess for the great occasion. The
spotless white costumes, designed
epecially for the reunion of the Elks,
are already conspicuous on the streets.
To a person standing at Third and
Main streets and looking west toward
the tunnel a perfect maze of wav
ing flags and fluttering pennants meets
the eye. Over the entrance to nearly
every store and building are the colors
of the B. P. O. E. draped about the
antlered head of the honored elk.
Evergreen on Hotel
At the Hotel Alexandria the decora
tions are not yet completed, but already
the hostelry presents a remarkably at
tractive exterior. The entire balcony is
trimmed with evergreen boughs, inter
spersed with myriads of purple and
white electric lights. Over the Spring
street entrance is a large hand-painted
elk head, while purple and white ribbon
has been ordered from Chicago to trim
the entire building.
Probably the most novel feature in
decorating throughout the entire city
In a massive iron cage over the Fifth
street entrance of the Alexandria. In
this compartment will Mr. and Mrs.
Alexandria establish their headquar
ters. No, not the proprietors of the
hotel, but two handsome, live elks,
which have been brought from San
Francisco for the express purpose of
making Elks' week in Los Angeles
realistic In every sense of the word.
On the departure Of their fraternal
brethren the elks will be donated to
the city of Los Angeles and placed on
exhibition. They will arrive Friday
from San Francisco.
Samuel J. Whitmore, general man
ager of the Hotel Alexandria, and
under whose supervision preparations
are fast nearlng completion, Is con
structing in the hotel basement a
forest buffet. The buffet will be fitted
with pine trees and the walls will show
typical forest scenes. Over the bar will
be placed three real elk heads, and
everything possible will be done to
give this novel feature an attractive
appearance. The buffet was installed
at the suggestion of Rush L. Holland,
grand exalted ruler.
Elk, Bear and Eagle
The Herald company's offices ion
Broadway are adorned with the stars
and stripes and the purple and white.
Over the entrance is a large elk head,
while above the large window appear*
a red. white and blue shield, sup
ported on either side by a bear and an
elk, typifying the state of California
and the famous fraternal order, while
above hovers the national bird, an
eagle.
The entrance to the chamber of com
merce is likewise hung with American
flags, an Immense banner being sus
pended directly above them.
One of the most elaborately deco
rated buildings is the old Hamburger
building, the headquarters of the Elks,
on North Spring street. A large paint
ing of the "Monarch of the Glen" is
hung at the top of the building, while
above it fly the stars and stripes, sur
mounted by the American eagle, Six
large elk heads grace the front ex
terior of the headquarters, in addition
to half a dozen large golden shields, a
clock with the hands indicating the
eleventh hour in the center and sup
ported by the bear and the elk. The
main entrance is hung with large pur
ple and white curtains, fringed and
tasseled with gold.
The county tax collector's office Is
another example of the decorator's art.
Flags fly from every window, many of
the banners bearing an elk's head on
the purple and white.
Three Hundred Flags on Building
More than 300 small flags have been
used In trimming the Lankershlm
building at Third and Spring streets,
while the Santa Fe offices are equally
resplendent. At the latter place
streamers have been extensively em
ployed, a large star being at the top
of long red and white stripes of bunt
ing. At many street comers Japanese
lanterns are being used, while others
ore hung with puTple and white electric
lights.
The Hotel Angelus la also well be
decked. The main entrance is hung
with a large American flag surmounted
by a magnificent antlered head. The
entire building presents a handsome
nance, the red, white and blui
ngain combining with the colors of the
P.. P. O. V.. to dress the hotel in gala
style.
The Southern Pacific offices vie with
those of the Santa Fe in attractive
decorations. In the window of the Sing
Fat company, on South Broadway, is
the largest bronze eagle in the world,
holding in Its beak a silk emblem of.
the United States Brock & Feagan's
Jewelry store, on South Broadway, Is
hung with twelve silk flags, the en
trar^o being draped in purple and
white and trimmed with orange.
At the Broad c-ntrance to the Oc
cidental hotel is a sign proclaiming
the hostelry to be the headquarters of
Pltti b lodge, No. 11, surmounted by
a painting of the "Monarch of the
Glen." All of the large Broad
stores are suitably ..rated, the Bos
ton Dry Goods company, the B. F.
Coulter company, Jacoby Bros., the J.
■R. Lane company and many others
being handsomely festooned.
City Hall Decorated
At the city hall an Immense Ameri
ran flag is hung, while at the Fred
J. Byrne building, at Third and Broad
way, the stars and stripes and the
purple and white alternate with each
other In a charming fanliko design.
Prominent Elks who are already In
Los Angeles unite in declaring that
the decorations are the finest which
they have ever seen at any of their
unions, and unstinting! praise Los
Angeles hants and Elks for their
enterprise. _
A Feminine Reason
"But," asked the first co-i I. "win
did you elect to ike up thi study of
German Instead of French?"
"Oh," replied the other, "the German
professor was bo awfully handsome,
you know."— Catholic Standard and

APPEALS FOR PROTECTION

Los ANGELES, July B.—[Editor

Ing their punishment, ana think that
the only remedy would be a jail «en

have repeatedly looked in the Letter

along any of tni streets at any
i me ol the day and you stand in dan
ger of 1" inK run down by one or the
i o by the bicycle boy,
who acts as though he owned the thor
oughfare, who hoots, wlatlea or yells,
and if you are not quick enough to
heed him will surely run you down. I
have on a number of occasions barely
escaped being run down only by Jump-
Ing aside just at the right moment, and
afe in faying this is the experi
of almost everyone in this town.
Why is the nuisance permitted, and
why do not the police stop this reck
less riding? if a man driving a horse
and wagon goes across a crossing
than a Walk he is liable to am
n nd fine, but these motorcyclists
and bii >■•lists can do as they pl<
There was a good illustration of this
er i venlng, when a re< kless bi
cycle rider van down a woman just as
i n-oin the car. The injuries
B he received may cause her death.
May 1 ask, will you not start an agi
tation to abate this nuisance? I am
sure if you do you will earn the grati
tude of the citizens of this city. My
Idea would be to license them and have
tnd every one carry or dii
his number, Ba he automol
have to do. and then it would b
easj mattei to gel an offender. Come
down to this end of the city—say BOUth

exhumed at Pompeii, is represented as
thus engaged.
The error slanderers of our Lord fall
Into when seeking his example to jus
tify their pernicious indulgences is in
supposing good wine means that which
causes beastly drunkenness, where
the guests are laid around the room In
disgraceful attitudes. Another perver-
Bion of the word is made in the use of
the passage, "It is not that which
goeth In which deflleth." Jesus was
simply teaching the Pharisees that It
was not the small dust that was on
unwashen hands, but the wicked
things that came out of an unregener
ate heart that defiled a man. He did
not intend to say that a man could
take a devil into his mouth that would
steal away his brains, turn him into i
savage brute, cause him to wallow in
the ditch or a fashionable parlor, kill
hild, his wife, his old father and
mother or debauch others and be
blameless. "Wine and women" have
di stroyed more nun than war, pesti
and famine. I do not know what
; ractlce of the "Episcopal" and
"Catholic" churches is as to placing
strong wine before the reformed men
who commune at their altars. I pre
sume she is right in her assertion they
do. Well, if the wine is turned Into
the real blood of Christ and none but
the priests get a taste of it, probably
little harm comes of the custom. But
this does not occur in other churches.
The devil is not exorcised, but. re
mains to awaken the slumbering appe
tite of the reformed man; hence it has
found advisable" to put no such
1 stumbling block into this sacred cere
j mony. She says "they count it more
Of D sin to rob a brother of his birth
right than to take a glass of wine." 1
|am unable to see any proof in thi.,-)
i that .I 1 sus made Intoxicating wine.

EVIL EXISTS ONLY TO
FALSE CONSCIOUSNESS
LOS ANGELES, July B.—[Editor
Herald]: Allow me to say for the bene
ij Amlcus that evil, the concrete
expression of error, exists only to the
false or carnal ■ consciousness, it is
no part of tii" all-good that God made,
and when T say I take Christ or truth
as the way out of all evil, I do so in
lie- same lense that the drunkard
takes Mibrii tv as the way out of de
lirium, with its consequent delusion
in the form of snakes, which are to
I him a great evil and very real; just
as real to his sense as any material
object.
I take truth or Christ as my deliv
erer just as the scholar takes the
science or true knowledge of mathe
. matlcs as the way out of arithmetical
errors or evils; just as the musician
consults the principle of harmony to
devise a proper sense of concord, and
s.i eliminate Imperfections In tin- at
tempt of carnal sense to express it.
Now, the principle of mathematics
knows no error, the principle of har
mony knows no discord, and likewise
God or good, the divine principle of
I man, knows no evil, hence a sense of
evil Is overcome by a knowledge of
God or good, who, the Bible says, to
know aright is life eternal. A sense
of discord is overcome by cultivating
and acquiring a knowledge of the law
of harmony.
There Is no truth or reality In a
L.h i anywhere, and that Is all evil
is. Anything that/is true is true every
all the lime. Evil Is true no
whore, a nonentity; it does not exist i
to true understanding, which is the so-I
lutlon and dissolution of evil.
We cannot learn the truth about
I ing by studying the error, dis
cord or evil which human sense en
tertains. We must i-eject it and truth
will relegate ii to its native nothing
ness, Tills we shall all know when, as
the Bible says, "We all come In the
unity of faith, and of the knowledge of
the Son Of Cod unto a perfect man.
unto the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ." R. N.

URGES SPECIAL CARE FOR
PROTECTION OF VISITORS
LOS ANGELES, July 3.—[Editor
Herald]: The next two weeks Los An
geles will entertain thousands of
visitors from all parts of the United
States. Many of them will come from
small country towns and villages. The
sights will be strange— marvelous to
their eyes. They will be under a spell
of wonder and admiration. They will
forget, at times, where they are and
not being accustomed to the hurry and
bustle of a metropolis, and especially
a great city like Los Angeles In gala
attire exerting herself to please all her
guests. Would it not be wise to pro
tect these unsophisticated visitors from
injury to have Chief Dlshman hand a
copy of traction ordinance, No. 15,775,
to each of his policemen and have
them study it carefully and give them
strict orders to rigidly enforce it? And,
although, it Is not unfortunately in
corporated In the traction ordinance,
would It not be for the public welfare
and security to have a resolution intro
duced and passed by the city council
at its next meeting, to have all auto
mobile drivers, motorcycle and bicycle
riders sound their horns or ring their
bells some distance from each street
crossing and not only to give warning
of their approach to passing pedes
trians, but also to reduce their speed
very materially while crossing the
streets.
If this is not done you can prepare to
record innumerable casualties while the
crowds are on the streets, especially
during Elks' week.
JOHN SHELDON.
THINKS WINE MENTIONED IN
BIBLE WAS ALL INTOXICATING
- LOS ANGELES, June 28.— [Editor
Herald]: I should like for Savonarola
to quote chapter and verse for proof
of some of the statements and asser
tions made, or claim inspiration as de
manded of C, F. I take it for
granted that wine now or any other
old time Is an intoxicant. Grape juice
is not, neither is it wine. It is called
liquor of grapes, Numbers, 6, 3 (A.
V.) Now, Savonarola, please name
chapter and verse where It says the
wine Jesus made was not Intoxicating
or where it states that there was no
one drunken at that feast.
"Add thou not unto his words, lest he
reprove thee, and thou be found a
liar." Proverbs, 80, 6 (A. V.).
Is there any wine mentioned in the
Bible which the Bible says is not In
toxicating? If so, quote chapter and
verse right away. But please don't try
to prove any more falacles to try to
show Jesus' good character, for it is
fully established, even among his en
emies.
Your argument does the prohibition
cause more harm than good because
you are trying to prove something
which can't be done.
There are just lots of people who
think God has got- himself in a bad
fix by telling the truth all the way
through, but the sooner they quit try-
Ing to help him out the soooner he
will get out. .1. R. ALLEN.

Norman M. Vaughan Says California
Building la One of Show Places
at the Big Fair in the

That Elks' day, July 2?. at tho
Alaska-Yukon-paciflc exposition will
be one of the features of the show is
assured by Norman M. Vaughnn, who
is boosting this feature of the exposi
tion in I. os Angeles. Vaughan stated
yesterday that everything possible
would be done to assure the visitors to
the exposition a royal good time.
Seattle lodge of Elks, !.(). 82, which
win reach Los Angeles July 12, will
bring a large amount of exposition lit
er.mire and advertising matter with
them. They aiSO Will present lo Los
Angeles lodge, No. »8, a special invita
tion to the thousands of visiting Elks,
as well as to local members of the or
der, to meet with Seattle lodge, No. M,
on Silts' day at the exposition.
The official Invitation, which win be
presented by W. A. Bane, states that
fun, music and festivities will be the
order of this and following days. The
management*of the exposition has set
aside a large appropriation to lie used
as an entertainment fund for this spe
cial occasion, and amusements of the
highest class are assured.
Los Angeles lodge, No. 99, hns al
ready formulated plans for co-operat
ing with the Seattle delegation to make
this feature of the fair a complete suc
cess.
•Speaking of Elks' day at tho exposi
tion." said a well known Seattle Elk,
"It is evident that Seattle and Los An
geles have so many interests in com
mon in their plans for the expansion of
their respective cities that they shoukl
work together in this as well as in oth
er respects. The interests of the two
cities are in many ways identical, and
the development of one helps the
progress of the other, This Is especial
ly noticeable in the interest taken by
Seattle residents and visitors to the fat?
from all over the United States in th"
California building, where Los Angeles
is well represented. The united ef
forts of the Seattle and Los Angeles
lodges should do much inward furthl r
ing not only tlie Interests of Elks' day,
but of Southern California as well <v
the Alaska-Yukoii-J'acitlc exposition."
ST. LOUIS HOT ON TRAIL
OF 1910 ELKS 1 CONVENTION
That a close Bghl will be waged be
tween the st. Louis Elks and their
fraternal brethren from Detroit while
attending the Elks' reunion in Los An
geles for the honor <,t holding the IMO
convention in their respective cities is
the belief of many prominent members
of the B. P. O. K. in Los Angeles and
elsewhere.
A committee has been appointed by
the St. Louis lodge consisting of former
Congressman and Past Qrand Rulor
James J. Butler, District Deputy <!rand
Exalted Ruler Edwin s. Puller and Past
Exalted Ituler O. F. Beaslnghaus for
the purpose of securing the ltflO reunion
of Kiks in that city.
Norman M. Yaughan of St. Louis,
editor of the National Elks' Horn, who
has his present headquarters at the
Hotel Alexandria, stated yesterday that
he believed St. Louis to he the ideal
city in which to hold the convention
of 1910.
"We have," said Vaughan, "a city
adequate In every way for handling the
crowds, large parks, a brewery, plenty
of resorts and amusement plai 6S, and
what Is considered to be the most
artistic lodge building in the United
States. Moreover, the central location
of St. Louis makes it an ideal gather
ing place. The St. Louis convention of
1899 was the real beginning of the large
annual reunions of the Elks. I sin
cerely believe that should the 1910 con
vntlon be held in that city it would
eclipse every previous meeting."
Detroit lodge, B. P. O. E., however,
made a strong hid for the 1910 conven
tion at the Dallas reunion of 1908 and
many believe that the next meeting of
the Elks will be held in the Michigan
city. A delegation also will be present
from Detroit, and a hot tight is antici
pated for the coveted honor.
ELKS' REGISTRATION HALLS
TO BE OPENED THIS EVENING
The Klks' registration bureau on
North Sprnig street will be opened this
evening for a public reception. Under
the personal supervision of Will Ste
phens decorations and preparations for
\ ing the vlstUjag Elks have been
completed, and the facilities are ade
quate for handling the crowds. Ste
phens is desirous that every citizen of
Los Angeles become personally ac
quainted with the registration bureau.
The California lodges are expected to j
register first in order to facilitate the
handling of the crowd during Elk*'
week. So complete are the arrange
ments that should John Doe of Seattle
wish to know whether or not his broth
er Elk, John Smith of New York, is In
Los Angeles he can find this out by
telephoning the registration offices.
They also will inform him at what ho
tel Smith is staying and how long ho
will remain in the city.
Tin- headquarters will be thrown
open for registrations Wednesday
I morning, July 7.
