PATRIOTISM IS
KING OF FOURTH
AT LOS ANGELES
ROWDYISM AND NOISE ABSENT
FROM CITY STREETS
THOUSANDS ATTEND EXERCISES
AT PUBLIC BEAUTY SPOTS
Other thousands Pass Their Holiday
on Mountain Tops, in Canyons
or at Beaches on the
Pacific
(Continued from Pan one)
Walter made the address at the VloUt
Street grounds; Dr. W. A. Lamb at the
Municipal Recreation center and Rev.
John H. Cooper at Echo park.
Crowds Go to Beaches
Nearly 1200 street cars were In opera
tion to handle the large crowds bound
for beach towns; parks and other places
In which to pass the holiday. Traffic
began early and lasted until a late
hour last night, and was heaviest t<' the
beaches. So great was the gathering I
at the Pacific Electric early In the day
that it became necessary to establish a
temporary ticket office mar the main
entrance in addition to the six window*
where tickets are regularly sold. Sched
ules of ten to twelve minutes were
maintained for Long Beach, San Pedro
and Huntington Beach, while the com
pany also operated a special service for
Mount Lowe. The company's new lino
to Santa Ana and HuntinKton Beach
•was operated for the first time yester
day, thus adding to the crowds of
pleasure seekers.
From the Hill street station the Los
Angeles-Pacific operated a number of
three and two-car trains during the
rush hours, the cars leaving at inter
vals of less than one minute, Large
crowds were handled by the Los An
geles & Redondo line, two-ear tarins
leaving the Second street station at
fi\. -minute intervals.
The Los Angeles railway also
rat( d a large number of additional cars
In carrying people to and from the
various city parks and picnic grounds.
At Eastlake Park
The celebration of Independen. c day
at Eastlake park was of twofold in
ter, rt, for in addition to the official
program the New England society of
Southern California assisted and car
ried out an elaborate program in con
junction with the regular program.
As a result of the dual celebration,
one of the largest crowds that has vis
ited Eastlake park this season was in
attendance and the gathering was typ
ical of a safe and sane observance of
the day that is celebrated as the natal
day of the United States. The fact
that the New England society partici
pated in the program gave the o.
ion a real "way down east' setting,
and many of the customs in vogue in I
the small New England towns were
featured in yesterday's program.
An absence of the hilarious, reckless
display of fireworks was a feature
•which appealed to the throngs of wo
men and children who gathered early
at Eastlake park, and as a result of the
festivities the plan of a New England
celebration was warmly Indorsed.
Two programs were carried out, the
first by those not members of the New
England association, which occupied
the morning hours, and in the after
noon the New England society held I
fhll sway.
The exercises were more in the na- j
ture of a reunion than a Fourth of
July celebration, and the day was en- j
joyed thoroughly by the thousands who
I the park. During the lulls be- j
tween the exercises the crowd mean- )
about the park. The zoo proved
to be one of the most popular points
of interest.
The program began at 10 o'clock with
rtion by the Redondo band, and
during the discourse of patriotic airs
flags were distributed among the chil
dren and the older persons.

HEROIC DEEDS TOLD
AT VENICE ASSEMBLY
Andrew G. Park Declares That Bronze

ship
At the Independence day celebration
at Venice yesterday Andrew O. Park
was the orator of tho day chosen by
the members of the O. A. R. His ad
dress was patriotic and pleaded for
a real commemoration of the deeds of
the forefathers. He said In part:
"We have met today to commemor
ate the deeds of our forefathers, and
to this we are impelled not by a sense
of duty but by gratitude. From them
we have received the greatest her-1
Itage ever purchased by blood of pa- i
triots. We cannot, for sake of their
memory, or for our own welfare, aJlow
their deeds to be forgotten.
"Commemorating the noble patriot- I
ism of our forefathers reflects to US
emulation of their deeds. A nation
worships at the shrine of its heroes, {
Imbibes their spirit and lives their,
lives. Some foreign nations, hoary to ;
di cadence, have complained that Am- ]
erica is recreant in building monu
ments to its patriot*, but we submit
that this republic Is the greatest mon-
I ument that ever was builded to mem
ory of man. And when Scotch gran
ite and Parian marble shall have
! forgotten the sculptor's skill and
i crumbled to dissolution, the American
republic shall stand as the home of
the brave and the true.
"This republic Is a homogeneous na
tion. That is the secret of its per
petuity. And it matters not whether
the Individual is to the manor born or
hails from abroad, he is in America
because he lovose America for Amer
ican liberty. Nor did our Civil war
destroy or permanently impair the
unity of the nation. While Americans
are brave to fight they are equally
brave to forgive. I never look upon
the graceful folds of this grand old Hag
but I feel like removing my hat. lay
ing bare my heart and bowing humbly
at its shrine. I love it as an Ameri
can. I love it as a southerner reborn
to loyalty and universal liberty."
RECORD BREAKING CROWD
AT LABOR CELEBRATION
A record breaking crowd attended
the third annual picnic of the Los An
geles Building Trades Council, held
yesterday at Chutes park. Speaking,
athletics and a fireworks display in the
evening constituted the day's program.
Stanley B. Wilson was the principal
speaker of the occasion.
A pretty feature of the program was
the singing of "The Star Spangled
Banner by Mrs. Francis M, de Pol
let te. followed by "America," in which
the members of the Women's Union
Label league joined, while the Stars
and Stripes were waved by twenty
four enthusiastic children.

Plan Is to Buy Site on South Flower
Street —Patriotic Address Made
by Judge D. K.
Trask
The starting of a subscription for a
memorial hall for the Grand Army of
the Republic to cost eventually about
$80,000, was one of the leading patriot
ic features of the celebration of the
Fourth at Sycamore park yesterday
afternoon by the G. A. K. The mem
orial hall proposition was championed
by several of the prominent speakers.
A large assemblage of the Grand
Army and the auxiliaries formed a
pleasing aggregation of patriotism in
the shade of the old sycamore tree of
the park yesterday. Preceding the ad.
dresses a basket picnic was enjoyed.
Chairman J. J. Bteadman opened the
exercises at 2 o'clock with preliminary
remarks. Dr. Clark offered prayer,
which was followed by the singing of
"The .star Spangled Banner" by Prof.
Hugo Klrchoflter.
George Summers read the Declara
tion of Independence, which was fol
lowed by Hi" singing of "The Grand
Old Army Button," by Col. J. H.
Henry.
Judge D. K. Trask gave a rousing
patriotic speech, comparing the con
ditions of patriotism at the time of
the Signing of the Declaration of In
dependenco and the present time.
Prof. Klrchoffer sang "The Sword of
Bunker Hill."
Col. Gilbert T. Munson took up the
problem of building a memorial hall
for the G. A. R. In Los Angeles. He
spoke of the memorial hall In Zaneu
ville, 0., and dwelt on its advantages
to the old soldiers in their declining
years and the tokens of remembrances
of those who had gone before them.
Mayor Alexander cam* forward as
the stanch advocator of a memorial
hall. He said:
"What better can we do than to
push this project to completion. Put
the money Into it if you have to go
without fine clothes."
Commander W. S. Daubenspeck
spoke a few earnest words regarding
the memorial hall, showing a pros
pectus of the proposed building.
The subscriptions are expected to be
sufficiently large to justify the pur
chase of a lot on Flower street near
Tenth for a site for the memorial hall,
the whole property to cost about
$80,000. _^^

CAVALRYMAN IS
STAR OF SHOOT
ARMY CAPTAIN GIVES MARKS
MEN BIG SURPRISE
COMPETITION ON THE GLENDALE
RANGE IS CLOSE
Los Angeles Rifle and Revolver Club
Matches Are Featured by Fine
Work of Newcomer —Big
Matches Arranged
A regular army cavalry captain, S.
B. Pearson, strayed out to the Glendale
range of the Rifle and Revolver club
yesterday and showed the boys ho*.v
they do it in the regulars. He tied the
high man and took high place at 300
yards just to show what he could do
when he was feeling mean. Crossman,
who tied him, felt lucky to get off as
easily as he did to win the shoot-off
at 200 yards to decide the tie.
The club at an immediate meeting
voted in the doughty cavalryman, and
he will shoot on the club team next
Sunday against .Seattle, Spokane and
Tacoma. The captain halls from com
pany B of the famous Ninth cavalry
and Is off on a furlough to visit Los
. Angeles.
DeclUS landed high place at 200 yards
with 44, making 43 in his practice to
show that he could do It again if he
wished. Crossman tied Capt. Pearson
at 500 yards with 45, but would have
lost handily had the cavalryman been
used to his rifle Instead of shooting a
strange gun on a strange range.
The shoot was to select a team for
the big four-cornered match to be held
July 11 against the northern clubs. The
team will consist of Capt. Pearson,
Crossman, Kellogg, DeclUS, Miles and
Hanson, with possibly Umsted or Aikin
used at the last moment to replace
some of the team men who fall down.
"Graphite" 'lark, who knows how
to do away with the bugaboo of metal
fouling In rifle barrels, strayed out and
showed the shooters how bad it is pos
sible to shoot in spite of having a
barrel free from metal fouling. He
also gave a fine demonstration of how
to keep happy while losing, and the
latch-string of the club has been put
on the outside for the happy-go-lucky
Clark for tho future.
York surprised himself, the gun and
the multitude by making a good score
at 200 yards, but "fell out of bed" on
his next range in his gratification over
his previous score.
The feature of the day was the ad
vent of E. L, Stevenson of Pasadena,
the president of the Ananias Institute
and the owner of the queerest gun
ever seen in the club, it consisted of
a shotgun and rifle barrel on the same
gun, the rifle barrel kicking no worse
than the ordinary rifle, while the phot
gun barrel, loaded with a bullet large
enough tor an elephant, kicked like a
runaway switch engine. Stevenson
spent his time rambling around, per
suading the guileless to shoot the rifle
barrel until they felt confident and then
blandly suggesting a shot with the
other barrel. After thnbe victims had
been punched through 'he booth walls
at the firing point 'the misguided
HUNTING AND FISHING
A question now frequently asked
by sportsmen is, "When will the deer
shooting season open?"
According to the fish commission the
season will open August 1 and close
October 31, and this is regardless of
the fact that the governor signed the
bill that opens the season July 15.
Many Los Angeles hunters incline to
the belief that a bill signed by Gov
ernor Gillett is the one to observe,
even though the chief executive ot the
state may have placed unthinkingly
his signature to a bill that he doubt
less intended to discard In favor of
another. Deer hunters, with few ex
ceptions, will be content to keep their
rifles cool until August 1 as there is a
long season ahead for the killing of
spikes and forked horns.
Few persons who have not the pro
tection of large game at heart have
even given a thought to the possible
great slaughter of deer in this state
under the existing game law. The
deer shooting season now runs from
August 1 to October 31, a period of
ninety days, within which time, male
de. r 'may be killed lawfully. Taking
into consideration that from August 1,
1909, until October 31, 1310—fifteen
months—lß4 days are allowed by a
state law for the killing of deer, con
servative sportsmen are asking If It
is any wonder that our large game
rapidly is becoming exterminate.!.'
The bag limit law amounts to vir
tually nothing, as it is impossible for
a game warden or deputy to enforce
it or secure a conviction In the courts.

gap.
The shoot for July 11 Is the biggest
rifle club shoot ever arranged among
the civilian clubs of the coast and is
the first of a series of contests to be
shot between the local men and the
' northern clubs. The ranges will in
clude 200, 300 and 500 yards, ten shots
per man per range, six men per team.
The total cores are to be wired to the
other clubs at the end of the shoot.

Qlendale range, recently leased for the
use of the club.

statute books which does not permit
a hunter the use of a dog for the pur
pose of routing and driving big game,

purpose of bringing it to bay and
affording the hunter an opportunity of
ending its suffering.
Dove Season Opens July 15
The dove shooting season this year
will open July 15 and will end October
lr., and the bag limit is twenty birds
to a gun in one d;iy. Three months
for dove shooters is a pretty long sea
son, as doves, like quail and snipe, are
growing less each year in numbers and
should have a closer measure of pro
tecl ion.
Under some conditions dove shooting
Is more difficult than snipe shooting,
even granting that the snipe are wild
and 'jump" quite a distance from the
gunner. A majority of the misses in
dove shooting—that is, when the
sportsman is shooting from a pass
are caused In great part by over
shooting, or not leading sufficient when
left or right quartering shots are of«
fered.
Fishermen nlong the beach during
the past week have reported rather
mediocre catches, but those who come
down from the mountains say condi
tions are decidedly favorable.
The heat of the past few days has
placed a damper on all but the most
enthusiastic fishermen. Several parties
have returned to Los Angeles from the
canyons recently quite frazzled out
and discouraged with tho whole fish
ing game. With a turn of cooler
weather the anglers are bound to tind
life rosier, for thti trout aro lurking in
the pools, just as they ought to, ac
cording to the best testimony. It has
been merely a question of whether the
angler wanted to work in the heat
long enough to catch the limit.
The talos from the beaches are quite
different. Here the weather has been
inably comfortable, and for this
reason many who would have other
wise gone to the mountains have tried
the salt water.
Good fishing has been reported from
Avalon, where it usually is good iii
some variety. Fish of one kind or an
other have been running along tho
coast, but the catches reported dining
i the past few days have been small and
the anglers disgruntled.
It is the opinion of many old-timers
that thi'i best lish, such as yellowfin
and corbina, aro now spawning.
