to such action. No other place inside the
city limits was adequate or suitable for the
pitching of the tents where the principal
meetings will be held, and as soon as the
committees Of Congress came to a realiZa-
ton of this fact, they at once favorably re-
ported the measure authorizing the use of
the reservations with the result just stated.
1t may, however, seem strange to some
people who have not given the matter ser
ious thought that such an immense area
as the White Lot should not be too large

But as the ellipse is big in its dimensions

and soLth-so also are the canvases in
which the enthusiastic crowds of Christian
EnGeavorers will gather. Each of these

accommodated in the First Congregational
Church. galleries included. which has I'll
ways been regarded as one of the largest
churches in the city. And yet these three
tents will be insufficient to supply seats for
all who wish to attend the exercises, and 1t
Is proposed by the committee to utilize
several of the large church edifices for over
flow meetings.
Churches In Addition.
Originally 1t was thought that ten
churches would be all that could profitably
be used, but recently 1t has been recon-
mended to those in Boston who are en-
gagged In preparing the program for the con-
vention that thirteen church buildings be
accepted as permanent meeting places in
addition to the tents.
The tents are 2oi feet long by 1872 feet
wide. and 55 feet high at the pitch of the
roof. They will be strongly braced and
guyed to prevent their being blown over
and yet there will be plenty Of open spaces
to insure perfect ventilation. 1t is pro-
posed to have an opening two or three
feet wide the entire length of the tent at
the top. and the flaps at the sides will be
so constructed as to permit the free cir
culation of air. The audience will be seat
ed on the ground, not in amphitheater
fashion as originally thought advisable, and
1t is believed that even IL the weather
should be very warm tho unobsrructed
southern breezes from the river would
circulate freely In the tents and make them
comfortable. The platform seats, how
ever, will be raised, and it is proposed to
place over that portion Of the tent an
extra roof or fly to minimize the effect of
the SUMS rays.
1t Is the intention Of those planning the
arrangements that the platform seats
shall be raised tier on tier and in semi
circular form. On the sides will be seats
for ministers and invited guests, about
five or six hundred In number. In the
center will be reserved seven or eight hun
dred seats for the chorus. Then to the
front and in the center there will be q space
specially designed for the trustees Of the
society and those who are to take part

TWO DEAD BODIES FOUND,
Dependency Led to Murder an
Gu1i

Tho dead bodies Of Flora Larbig and Ed
ward Peters were found yesterday in the
basement of the building at $50 West
14th street, Chicago, where Peters lived.
Both bodies were cold, and the muir
der and suicide, for such it appear
ed to be, had evidently been committed some
time Thursday night. The girl had a gap
ing bullet wound behind the left car,
Peters death being caused by a shot in
the right temple.
Peters had been out Of work for some
time, and dependency over this and his re-
lection by Miss Larbig. were, 1t is believed,
the causes that drove him to the crime.

one of the most successful revolutions
in history, political as we'll as religious,
is one Of the most romantic and inter

nation.
At the period when Gustavus Vasa
Danish province running red with the
blood Of the unfortunate and oppressed
people. For 40 years the Swedes had
been persistently rebelling, with vary
ing success, against the hated Danes
Stem Sture, the regent, who had married
a half sister Of the mother Of Gustavus,
alone held out and had gone into retire
ment rather than bend to the tyrant
Affairs were in a sad state when Gus
tavus was summoned to Stockholm,
where, as member Of the royal family,
he was to be educated at court Chris
tian II, "the Tyrant," had succeeded
the weak King Hans as ruler of the
three Scandinavian countries The reign
Of Christian marked the lowest point
in the miserable history Of Swedish op-
preston. Such was his cruelty that the
Swedes once more arose and made an
other attempt to shake off the yoke.
Only the Catholic clergy were in league
with the Danish king. After numerous
battles truce was declared, and King
Christian announced his intention to
leave. His feet continued to hang about
the coast, however, and finally he sent
message to Stem Sture, saying that he
wished to meet and consult with the
regent, providing six persons whom he
named, among them Gustavus Vasa,
should first be placed on board the Dan
ish vessels as hostages. The regent fell
into the trap, and no sooner were the
hostages secured than the fleet set sail.
Gustavus was thrown into the melan-
choly KalO castle. and for year kept
prisoner. How he escaped in the guise
Of a drover, fed to Lubbock, and from
there found his way back to Sweden,
has been told by many Swedish poet
and depicted by many a Swedish artist.
In the meantime Christian had again
returned to Stockholm, keeping the peo-
pie still under subjection He had him
self crowned and marked the occasion
by beheading over 70 persons. He de-
clared Gustavus an outlaw and set a
price on his head.
At last the news spread that King
Christian was preparing for journey
through the country and that he had
ordered gibbet erected in every prov
ince. This was the last straw The pa
triots no longer hesitated. They called
on Gustavus to lead them against the
foreign monster. The struggle at the
beginning was against almost over
whelming odds, but the Swedes were
thoroughly in earnest, and they swept
the forces Of the tyrant into the sea-
The business was accomplished in
less than two years, and when it was
finished Gustavus was crowned king in
1923. Then came the religious reforma-
ton. At that time the Catholic chur,
was the real ruler Of the land King

c. NJ. Heintz addressed his remarks
in the storage of water in California,
saying:
Three dry winters have been a severe
test on water storage IN Southern Cali
tornia. but large reservoirs. like the
SwcstWater. the Henet. Cuyamaca and
Bear Valley have held out better than
was expected. Evaporation is no greater
than was expected, and seepage is al
most nothing. Large storage reservoirs
have justified the predictions that every
irch of water in them is worth more
than an inch in a flowing stream, be-
cause water can be turned on when most
needed, while the flowing stream may
fail.
As much cannot be said for the small
reservoirs. many of which have been con-
structed without consulting an expert.
In most cases the wash from plowed
land or burned hillsides just above It
destroyed half its capacity in a rainy
winter.
In California we cannot depend on
filing a basin more than once in year.
After spring there are no rains to bal
ence the loss by evaporation. 1t is
quite as easy to be deceived about the
E
shower. a reservoir is one of the last
things in the world to play with, but
one of the best to work with. 1t must be
selected. built and maraged with more
business judgment than anything else
