CHILDREN DEPICT
HISTORY OF CITY
McKinley Avenue School Tots
Produce Tableaux. Drills and
Marches in Costume
TEACHERS ARRANGE SONGS
Events in Los Angeles Shown
from Indian Days to the
Present Time
Children always love to "have a
Bhow," and whether it be In the attli
or the barn, whether admission be by
payment of ten pins or by presenting
a green paper ticket at the door, the
childish enjoyment in the spectacle, and
particularly in participation In this
spe< tacle, is unbounded.
Tearhers of tho McKlttley Avenue
school have played upon this spirit of I
childhood ;md have arranged a series of j
tableaux, songs, marches, drills ami
dialogue which depicts in splendid
fashion the history of Ivp Angeles from i
its time, of savagery and Indians to the
cosmopolitanism of the present day.
The writing and arranging of this
play has 1 » ■ -« n done entirely by thi
teachers of the school, all "f whom
have been Interested in arranging the
scenes and drilling the children in their
parts. Material was gathered from
various sources. Historical works, re
liable fiction and many reminiscences of
Spanish early Bettlers have been util
ized in the work. The entire production
is clear and will leave a fixed im
pression upon tho minds of every child
in that school of the scries of events
■which led to the building up of the
beautiful city they know.
MAX* SONGS
Many songs were introduced, and the
childish voices rang out clear and true
in choruses and groups of four and six.
There were fancy dances In which
graceful girls posed and marched in
proud consciousness of their pretty
fanciful costumes, while boys of all
ages figured in the proceedings as
monks, cowboys, Indians, shepherds,
Bailors and soldiers, both Spanish and
American.
The girls were in these tableaux, too.
One group was picturesque In the
makeup of Indian maids. Spanish
dancers, with their bright colors, scarfa,
ppangK'd jackets and tambourines were
a. pretty picture on the stage, and
shepherdesses with crooks and [etching
little hats flounced their tucked up
frocks through a graceful dance.
The Fluffy Ruffles girls, Japanese
damsels and many others all fitted into
the picture with easy grace, and about
180 boys and girls participated In the
matinee performance yesterday.
The affair was arranged under the
auspices of the McKlnley Avenue
Parent-Teachers' association for the
benefit of the piano fund. Two more ,
performances will be given on Thurs
day and Friday evenings, and the de
mand for tickets already threatens to
make a third performance necessary.
THOSE WHO DID IT
The teachers who have been in
terested in arranging this affair and
teaching the children their parts are,
the principal, Arthur Brown, and the
Misses Alice Ball, Roxle Stevens, lA\- '

MAY INDICT ALTORRE'S
MOTHER FOR PERJURY
Mrs. White on Stand for Defense
in Case of Accused Post
office Clerk
Indictments for perjury, directed
against Mrs. J. White, mother of Or
lando Altorre, and Charles Kvrist, a
dose friend of Altorre, may lie the se
quence of proceedings in the United
States district court yesterday. Al
tnrr" is charged with having committed
perjury to secure a civil service posi
tion in the postal service. The testi
mony given by his mother and friend
yesterday is to be Investigated and also
may become the basis of perjury
charges.
From the time that court opened
yesterday the ease took a lively- turn.
Mrs. White was put on the stand by
tile attorneys for the defense. Assist
ant United States Attorney Morton ex
amined the witness. She testified that
without being divorced from the de
fendant's father she. married White.
AI.TOKKE
When Attorney Horton asked Mrs.
White how many months elapsed from
the time of her marriage to Altorre
until the birth of the defendant the
accused man created a scene by aris
ing quickly and In a dramatic man
ner exclaiming: "I don't want Attor
ney Horton to question my mother in
this way, for it makes my blood boll
to heir those questions put to her. I
would rather plead guilty n thousand
times than have h'-r humiliated."
The court ordered him to be sealed
and then the defendant's attorney en
tered a strenuous objection to the mode
<.f cross-examination. Upon being told
to answer the question Mrs. White
testified that she was wedded during
the month of April, 1886, and that Al
torre was orn in the July following.
Mrs. White also testified that her
son was In California during the time
that several witnesses testified ho was
in the east.
Charles Kvrist, a cement tester, said
by the prosecultion to be a close friend
of Altorre, testified that he was pres
ent in Notary Qluch'B Office an hour
on July 11, 1907, with Altorre when he
i.resented the document to the notary.
Evrlst further testified that the no
tary did not administer any oath to
Altorre.
Postmaster Harrison was then re
called to the stand and alter inform
ing the court and jury that a record
was kept of each trip made by postal
employes during working hours, he tes
tified that his record showed lhat on
Tuly 7 ISO", the day upon which the
prosecution charges Altorre with hav
ing perjured himself by swearing false
ly before Notary Oluch, witness Bv
r'ist and Altorre were not toother for
more than seven minutes. Altorre and
Evrißt were working in a substation
on that date and the prosecution
snowed that Kvrlst could not have
been in Notary Gluch's »fflce at the
time he testified to being there.
Attorney F Stewart will open the
argument for the government this
morning and will be followed by At
torneys Thompson and Johnson ot Hie
defense Attorney Horton will close
the argument for the government
HIGH COST OF LIVING IS
CHARGED TO LIVING HIGH
Merchants' Exchange Secretary
Says World Can Afford Prices
"T run an optimist. I think »-o can
better afford to pay higher prices for
everything now than those -could the
low prices twenty years ago," Bald J.
F. r.iuiiling, secretary of the Mer
chants exchange, yesterday noon, at
tho Federation club luncheon.
"The high cosi of living," said Mr.
Paulc'.ing, " is chargeable largely to the
cost of living hign. It is in thi ulr
that we are all to blame for the high
prices of living. The corporations are
responsible to a large extent, and yet
not too much can be laid to their doors.
"The extreme low prices of products
twenty years ago forced corresponding
low prices of farm lands and wages.
The natural consequence is that the
Increased value of land raises the cost
of living the same as higher rants arc
demanded by the increase in the price
<.f lots and houses.
"We are now paying the highest
prices for commodities known in the
history of the United States, hut when
there is money to meet these prices,
it is better than twenty years ago,
when they wero much lower and not
sufficient money to pay for them by
tin- consumers.
"When we Bee the conditions In Eu
rope with the wages of $R a week and
I.lher low status of things, we ought to
thank our stars that we live here with
our high prices for everybody and with
the money in circulation to pay the
bills."
