NATION'S CAPITAL AS SEEN BY TOURISTS MR. AND MRS. HARTUNG INVADE THE PRESIDENT'S SANCTUM AND THE AUGUST SENATE CHAMBER VISIT MOUNT VERNON WHERE REST THE BONES OF THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY Although many wonderful sights were seen on their tour around the world by Mr. and Mrs. Hartung they declare that all the things worth seeing by tourists are not found in foreign lands. New York, Washington and Chicago present a few attractions that are of particular interest to Americans. They arrived at the nation's capital on July 28 and the first thing worthy of note that attracted their attention was the magnificent union station in which the Pennsylvania train had carried them. This is not ho grand and costly as the Grand Central in New York, but the room in which they disembarked is the largest in the world. It is 343x700 feet, and is capable of sheltering an army of 50,000 men. The Capitol, of course, is the first place visited by tourists who go to Washington. They wandered through its great halls and corridors and noted everything worthy of being remembered. The Marble Room was particularly attractive owing to the magnificent paintings on its walls. They found nothing in Europe superior to these paintings save, perhaps, the works of peak. On the third floor of the monument, while they were there, workmen were engaged in chiseling a niche in the wall for the reception of a California tablet that had been presented by the state. The congressional Library is one of the most magnificent institutions of its kind in the world. It cost the government $9,000,000, and is finished inside entirely of Carrari marble. It contains millions of volumes, pamphlets and documents, and is one of the most valuable collections in the world. The navy yard was an interesting place to visit, as a number of great guns for American battleships were being turned out. Several 13-inch canon, 40 feet in length and weighing 140,000 pounds had just been completed. The famous "Long Tom" is on exhibition at the navy yard. This gun made its first appearance in 1786 on the French man-of-war, Noches. It was captured by the British, and afterward fell into the hands of the Spainards and later became the property of the United States. There is little probability that Tom will ever change owners again. Every visitor to Washington makes a trip down the Potomac to Mount Vernon, the former home of the father off his country and does his bonnet at the tomb of that illustrious American. Everything at Mount Vernon is remincent of Washington. In order to save the place from decay and prevent its destruction by vandals and souvenir hunters the estate was purchased some years ago by a society and is now being preserved precisely as was during the lifetime of the first president, with one or two exceptions. One of these exceptions is the fact that just a day or two previous to the visit by Mr. and Mrs. Hartung a violent storm passed over the place and uprooted 70 of the old trees in the park. These all had familiar associations with Washington and the loss was an irraparable one. POLITICAL (By the Inventor) Attorney E. L. president of the clubs of Californians of this city full duty, Gov.

Johnson full machine whid and has increasing ning the state $7,000,000 in 1914. Despite employees (under plugging for Capt. Frederick." The Capitol, of course, is the first place visited by tourists who go to Washington. They wandered through its great halls and corridors and noted everything worthy of being remembered. The Marble Room was particularly attractive owing to the magnificent paintings on its walls. They found nothing in Europe superior to these paintings save, perhaps, the works of the old masters. Among the famous scenes depicted on the walls of this room are "The Landing of Columbus," "De Soto Discovering the Mississippi," "The Baptism of Poohontas," "The Embarkation of the Pilgrims," "Signing the Declaration of Independence," "Surrender of Burgoyne," "Washington Declining Overtures from Cornwallis," "Surrender of Cornwallis," and Washington's Resignation as Chief of the Army". These scenes were painted by America's greatest artists. The most beautiful work in the Capitol, however, was in the rotunda, done by Bringldl, the exiled Italian, who was so earnestly but ineffectually solicited to return to Italy after his remarkable talent was discovered. The senate chamber was an object of interest to the visitors, but it differed mightily from their expectations. They were ushered into its sacred walls 15 minutes before the session began by Col. Bond, sergeant at arms, and although strictly against the rules loitered until that august body was called to order and began making laws for the nation. They were somewhat disappointed after the senate got down to work, it was so different from their expectations. They expected to see everyone of those eminent men with a look of profound wisdom stamped on his countenance, pay close attention to the proceedings and enter a caustic protest occasionally to the suggestions of some honorable member but instead of such decorous proceedings when a senator rose to speak 90 per cent of the toga wearers produced a book, a newspaper or a note book and became absorbed in his own affairs, while the other ten per cent loudly discussed the probability of Walter Johnson's winning the next game of ball for the Washington team. Vice-president Marshall, in the meantime, vigorously chewed gum or Indiana, navy, and gazed reflectively at the frescoes in the ceiling. The speech, however, The old Washington mansion is uninhabited save for a caretaker. The rooms of George and Martha Washington and Nellie Custis are preserved just as they were in the old days when the distinguished family occupied the place. There are many things reminiscent of Washington to be found at Alexandra. In fact its close proximity to Mount Vernon is the only thing that would induce a tourist to stop at that sleepy old Southern town. Christ church is of considerable interest to the tourist as it was the place of worship of both Washington and Gen. Robert E. Lee. The interior of the church has undergone a transformation in recent years, but the pews of the Washington and Lee families remain unchanged. This church was built with tobacco as that appeared to be the only medium of exchange in the pre-revolution days. The records also show that for a number of years the pastor's salary was rated by so many pounds of tobacco. In the church yard the spot is shown where after service one Sunday in 1774 two years before the revolution, George Washington stood and treasonably advocated a dissolution of partnership with King George the Third. Another object of interest to Washington visitors is the Oldroyd Lincoln museum. It is situated just across the stree from the Ford theatre and is in the house where Lincoln died after being shot by J. Wilkes Booth. Every thing in it is a relic of the myrtyred president. Even some of the old-fashioned household effects used by him and Mary Todd in their earliest housekeeping days. On the White House grounds Mr. and Mrs. Hartung heard the famous Marine band play. It used to be without a peer in the days when Sousa was its conductor, but the visitors declare it has degenerated and cannot compare with the Anaheim band.

True, we have on our great such decorous proceedings when a senator rose to speak 90 per cent of the toga wearers produced a book, a newspaper or a note book and became absorbed in his own affairs, while the other ten per cent loudly discussed the probability of Walter Johnson's winning the next game of ball for the Washington team. Vice-president Marshall, in the meantime, vigorously chewed gum or Indiana, navy, and gazed reflectively at the frescoes in the ceiling. The speech, however, was printed next day in the newspapers and the congressional record, and the speaker's constituents believed he had profoundly stirred the chamber with his eloquence. It was the most disorderly body of men I ever saw in official session," said Mrs. Hartung. "and I expected to see something so different in the senate chamber of the United States capitol." They also visited the White House, which has been the home of the presidents since the days of John Adams. As a residence it is rather out of date, as James Hoban, the architect, modeled it after Dublin castle, the home of the Duke of Leinster, more than 100 years ago. There are many valuable works of art and articles of historical value in the White House, among them being the famous painting of George Washington which Dolly Madison cut from its frame and secreted during the British occupation in 1814, when the Capitol and White House were burned. It was afterward restored to its frame after the evacuation by the English troops. To the top of the Washington monument is a climb of 555 feet, but unlike the customs in Europe the elevator carries the sightseer up free of cost. From its top a magnificent panoramic view of the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland can be seen, and the beautiful Potomac can be traced in its windings to the Chesa- ONE MORE HOUSE FOUND BURGLED Mr. and Mrs. Charles Halley Find House Ransacked on Returning From Church The burglar who has been plying his trade in Anaheim appears to be as hard to catch as the mysterious Raffles. He made another successful haul Sunday night, the victim this time being Charley Halley, whose residence is on East Center street. Mr. and Mrs. Halley were at church that evening and on returning home discovered that the house had been entered and ransacked during their absence. Various articles of clothing belonging to both Mr. and Mrs. Halley were missed, also a suit case, but the full extent of the loss is not known. The thief gained entrance to the house by cutting open a screen door. He made a clean get-away leaving no clue by which he could be traced. He probably watched the departure of the family early in the evening and ransacked the house at his leisure. Some night this festive burglar will later find himself booked for a free passage to San Quentin. After wrestling a couple of weeks with ptomaine poisoning Walter Deakin is again able for duty with the Truck & Transfer company. His family have all recovered. Even some of the old fashioned household effects used by him and Mary Todd in their earliest housekeeping days. On the White House grounds Mr. and Mrs. Hartung heard the famous Marine band play. It used to be without a peer in the days when Sousa was its conductor, but the visitors declare it has degenerated and cannot compare with the Anaheim band.

L. Davin, of San Diego, president of the Young Republican clubs of California, has just returned from a tour of the northern part of the state filled with optimism over the outlook for a tremendous plurality for Captain Fredericks over Governor Johnson at the coming election. "I don't think Gov. Johnson will carry a county north of the Tehachi-pl," said Mr. Davin. "If the republicans of this end of the state do their full duty, Gov. Johnson won't carry a single county. Capt. Fredericks is making friends wherever he goes. The fact that the Johnson-Earl machine is holding up civil service employees and forcing them to contribute money to the progressive campaign doughbag is proof positive that the fake reformers are in bad straits. Gov. Johnson yells for civil service in one breath and the next minute he is holding his blacksnake over the heads of civil service employees demanding money to run his campaign. "Thousands of democrats will vote for Capt. Fredericks. Senator Curtin, the democratic nominee, is a good man but he cannot win and sane and solid Burbanks will support Capt. Fredericks in order to smash Johnsonism and progressive hypocrisy. "The republican party stands for true progress, protection and prosperity. The party welcomes its ranks all kinds and classes of citizens who believe in sound government. Gov. Johnson has built up a powerful machine with the people's money and has increased the expenses of running the state government from $7,000,000 in 1910 to $14,000,000 in 1914. Despite the horde of state employees (under civil service) who are plugging for the progressive ticket Capt. Fredericks will lead Gov. Johnmen when the act became in force. If Gov. Johnson did not have his machine men pretty well placed in his first two and a half years he overlooked a trick that he would not let go by at this time. Here is where that "civil service" act fixed the Johnson forces in soft public places. On page 1045 of the fifteen pages required to print the statute this paragraph is found in section 16: "The names of all persons holding positions at the time of the taking effect of this act which if vacant would be filled under the provisions of this act shall be certified to the commission by the appointing power that could then so fill such position if vacant, and such names shall be entered in said roster and thereupon shall be deemed appointed under the provisions of this act, and persons then holding such positions who have served in such positions a less period than one year and more than six days from the date of the classification of such positions as required by said act shall be deemed to be serving the probationary period, and persons who have served in such positions for less than sixty days shall be deemed temporary appointees." Thus it will be seen that the Johnson appointees were taken care of in the "civil service" act and placed on the state pay roll for life, fitting nicely into the cogs of the big wheel that goes round for the third party creation of the governor. It is practical politics that is not explained to the people while the machine is being worked over time on state pay to perpetuate the governor in his office. A newpaper published in this county in the interests of the drys announces that the race for the assembly is between dry candidate Hartranft and wet candidate Burke, and by way of making comparison between the two characterizes Hartranft The month just beet Doesn't That Each Day For the Better republican candidate posible. "The democratic president and supreme leader of the democratic party points the issue," says the Press. NARROW ESCAPE G. L. Harrison barely won a race with death Sunday night. Had the accident of which he was a victim occurred before the days of the automobile, he would be dead. Harrison lives at San Juan Capistrano, twenty-five miles south of Santa Ana. He was attempting to fix a metal trap when his knife slipped and his left forearm was deeply gashed. THE Suitorium Outfitters for Men We carry a complete line of merchandise for men.

Had the accident of which he was a victim occurred before the days of the automobile, he would be dead. Harrison lives at San Juan Capistrano, twenty-five miles south of Santa Ana. He was attempting to fix a metal trap when his knife slipped and his left forearm was deeply gashed. The spurt of blood told him instantly that an artery had been cut. The man's arm was quickly bound, but though the bandage was drawn as tight as was possible, there was a heavy loss of blood. He was put into an automobile and the race to Santa Ana for medical aid began. The man reached the Santa Ana hospital in a fainting condition. While he is extremely weak today, his physician, Dr. C. D. Ball, is confident he will live. BREA PEOPLE HURT Thinking that a badly wrecked automobile which he found by the side of the Salt Lake tracks to the west of Pomona, bore a striking resemblance to a machine owned by his father, C. E. Russell of Ontario, motoring to Brea, for a visit with his parents, made inquiries which led to the discovery that his mother, father and three brothers were in a Pomona hospital suffering severe injuries sustained when their car was struck by a Salt Lake train on a grade crossing. Sunday afternoon, Russell decided to motor down to Brea for a visit with his parents and brothers and it seems that they decided at about the same time to visit him at Ontario. The family party approached the grade crossing to the west of Pomona.

In the confusion which followed, young Russell is said to have failed to push out the clutch, with the result that the approaching steam engine hit the automobile full force. The elder Russel and two of his sons jumped before the crash and escaped with cuts and bruises, but Mrs. Russell and a 4-year-old son, were taken from the wreckage dangerously cut and brushed, the mother with a badly sprained back. All were hurried to a Pomona hospital, but later removed by ambulance to the home of the son at Ontario. The machine was so badly wrecked as to be fit only for the junk pile. William Leslie made a business visit to Los Angeles Tuesday. There were produced in Orange county this year approximately 968,000 sacks of barley, distributed as follows: El Toro, 130,000 sacks; San Juan Capistrano, 766,000 sacks; Fullerton district, 25,000 sacks; and San Joaquin ranch, 47,000 sacks. Barley is listed at present at 95 cents, and very little, if any, is being moved at this price. The fact that the barley produced in the county this season is dark in color is given as one of the reasons for the decline in price. Dark colored barley is unfitted for brewing and as the greatest part of the grain exported is used for this purpose (the market in barley has dropped). The fact that shipping facilities have become greatly demoralized on account of the great war is given as another reason for the decline in price. Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Oliver are rejoicing over the arrival of a daughter at their home on South Palm street last week.
