California's Birthday Is Fittingly Celebrated aj
San Jose by Her Sons and Daugrtters
Continued From Pagr It Column 5'
streets through which the 6.500
celebrators marched to .the mv.sic
of brass, reed and the vibrating
: sheepskin of the drum. Of the
great throng" in the line District
Attorney William H. Langdon of
San Francisco won the plaudits of
the spectators. Langdon is a
member of Pacific parlor.
The parade had the pomp 'of
color and the boast of ingenuity
and picturesque patriotism. The
clank of rifles, the rattle of artil
lery chains and the plunging of
cavalry horses that distinguish
and electrify an army brigade i
were absent. i
Langdcn Given an Ovation
Langdon's reception along the |
iline of march was hearty. San I
Francisco's prosecuting attorney j
is not so high in the counsel of j
;this order as were some who were j
i/iot in line today. He was the j
•marshal of the second division of j
the parade, was mounted on a I
•big bay horse and wore a \
\vide yellow sash across his j
ichest. From every block j
came cheers as the second j
division marched into its ken. j
.Langdon enjoyed the ovation. He j
Slipped his broad hat to every side. ;
and the people enjoyed, applauded I
and cheered the district attorney. I
Even the carriage which con- ;
'tamed Grand President M. T. j
Dooling and Third Grand Vice
President Daniel T. Ryan re
ceived no ovation equivalent to
that given Langdon.
Langdon'p reception was not the only
Indication that San Francisco's activity
agralnst grs-ifters is welcomed by the
itons end aaug-hters of California, i
Fletcher C. Cutler, orator of the day. in
his brief address delivered in St James
park, mentioned n<i names, but referred j
pointedly to the drastic action of the •
grand parlor in expelling: members of
the order guilty of grafting-. He said)
at the close of his speech: :
"The cardinal principle on which this j
order was founded was loyalty to a
trust. . One thing that the pioneers
stood for above all others was for
honesty, and they Inculcated the love
,for that virtue in their sons. Honesty
In the man, the faithful discharge of a
public duty on the part of those who
are Intrusted with civic responsibility,
are what this order has demanded of
'jfts members, and it has been strong
enough and faithful enough and big
enough and brave enough and loyal
enough to its tenets to enforce that
loyalty snd that faithfulness on those
over whom it has jurisdiction, when it
came' viihin its power."
PIONEER*: MAKE BIG SHOWING**'
The. parade determined beyond much
doubt that the Admission day celebra
tion of 1908 will be held in Oakland.
San Francisco's tranfbay neighbor was
the only place represented that made a
campaign for the honor of entertaining
the natives. Piedmont parlor No. 120,
which carried off the numerical honors
of the parade with 200 men in line and
half as many sisters of Piedmont par
lor. N. D. G. W., according to their own
estimate, bore a legend worked in
evergreens paneled in sunflowers, de
claring for "Oakland 1908." Stockton
had been in the contest, but dropped
out so completely that not even Stock
ton parlor of the order appeared at San
Jose.
Pictorlally the glory of the day went
to the society of California pioneers.
The pioneers and their children, the j
sons and -daughters of California pio
neers, the. only, two floats
in the pageant. The elders had the
fcetteT of it— they actually made flap
jacks en route, depicted the comedy of
cradling' gold in the placers and the
tragedy of masculine laundry. The
Junior order, the pioneers once remoi'ed,
had a beautiful golden car showing the
»eal of the state, and Miss California
was flanked by a quartet of maids of
honor.
,- It Is to be regretted that the native
sons and daughters left it to the pio
neers to furnish the floats of the day.
In a state whose history is a history
of dramatic pictures and in an order
that draws lte inspiration from that
historical drama, the Admission day
display should be a series of vitrld
pictures of stages of the state's prog
ress. The procession today was a glori
ous series of bright, golden coloring,
tasteful, eymbolle, esthetic at times,
virile often, but not a tableau of Cali
fornia's heroics was shown by the na
tive sons and daughters. The history
of the state was not neglected by ' Or
ator Cutler, however, and he applauded
the work of the order in restoring: the
California missions.
" GIVES SIGNAL, TO ADVANCE
\u25a0 In the interest of brilliancy. San Jose
put its electric decorations in red and
th& streets In which the parade moved
looked like elongated red parasols. The
color scheme of the * decorations'
•was not followed by the marchers. 'but
there was a great variety of hues.
; ' The day was perfectly in tune with
the exigencies of the celebration. The
sky was pale gray and partly hidden
by a thin fog when the parade started
at IX o'clock, but the eun came out
end shone mildly before the route had
been traversed. The afternoon was
warm, but at no time did the heat be
come oppressive.
Grand Marshal Cochran gave the sig
nal to advance within a reasonable
time after the hour set for the parade.

TWO MEN JAILED ON
CHARGE OF ROBBERY
Accused of Stealing $210
From Proprietor of '

having stolen a handbag containing
$210 and valuable papers from the home

bery. . , >'*-.
Two men called at Mrs. Jouanson's I
lodging house last Friday and ar
ranged to rent a room for two weeks
for $5. They gave Mrs. Jdttanson a $20
gold piece to change, and in doing- so j
she carried it to her bedroom, 'leaving'
the door- slightly, ajar, and took the
handbag containing her savings from
its hiding place in- a corner of.. the
room. She believes that the men
watched her through the opening In
the^door and then took advantage of
her- absence in another part of the
house to secure the bag. They left the
house shortly afterward and. did not
return that night or. at any subsequent
time. The disappearance-, of .'„ the bag
was discovered - the following j morning.
The police'were furnished witlia de
scription of the men . and~ have been
working on the case sinee 'Saturday,
with the result* that the arrests "were
made last night. The handbagjo'still
containing the papers, but without the
money, was found Saturday" morning
by Mrs. Podesto in the yard of her
home at Clay and Mason streets, ' where
it had evidently been thrown .after

GOLDFIELD,' Nev.; Sept. 9.— A young
woman, who eald that she was the wife
of Major W. A. Stanton, was the victim
of a mysterious'attack on thfe Diamond-
field: road near^ the: Kinkead mill last
Saturday afternoon., The police claim
to have no clew to the identity of the
woman's assailant, and every effort'
has;been.and is'being made to suppress
the facts. .''Major. StanTon". declared to
day with considerable emphasis that his
wife had not been attacked and was not
in the-neighborhood of the scene. of the
outrage on Saturday. ... ' \u25a0 "
According to an employe at the trans
former/station, beyond Columbia, Mrs.
Stanton passed the office about noon
walking- north. An hour later Mrs.
Stanton was brought back to the sta
tion by a man named Gray in an almost
fainting condition. He had found her
almost; overcome, he. said, nearly a mllo
down the' road. 'She was cared for at
the. station.- and Dr. Tlyan of Goldfield

Afcording' to 'her rc-scuer 'and the

he'said, "and bore every appearance of

It > is rumored about town that Mrs.
Stanton has left her husband, but the
rumor could not be "verified 'today. Tin;
