THE EDDY RECITAL
The Great Organist at the Simpson Tab
ernacle Last Night

A fair-sized audience of music lovers
enjoyed treat at Simpson tabernacle
last evening when Clarence Eddy, Amer
ica's greatest organist, gave one of his
roctals. Since his return from his Eu-
ropean tour Mr.. Eddy's repertory has
been greatly enlarged and varied, and
his old time admirers see in his work
such improvement that they declare him
now the perfect master of the organ. In
his recital last evening Mr. Eddy was
handicapped to some extent by the or
gan itself, but under the masters hands
it was at its best. The organist, whose
fame as a virtuoso extends through two
continents, brought from Simpsons or
gan such soulful melody as it probably
never before gave forth in that audito-
rum. His program was a rich and va
r1ed one, from a prelude and fugue in A
minor by j. s. Bach to the new allegro.

included fantasie, op. 101, Saint Saens:

cata, Filippo Capocci; double theme,

that evoked applause from the audience,

both of which were encored the former
by a repetition and the latter by mas

from Tannhaueser. The Wagnerian piece

vast auditorium until the whole edifice
seemed to quake was in strong contrast
to the lively strains of the Pastoral,
and showed by rapid contrast the won

HE DOTES ON GERMS
A Doctor Who Will Not Take
Anything
Claims He Is Immune from all Diseases
Was Inoculated With tuberculosis
and Diphtheria-Guinea Pigs.

In response to 600 invitations sent out
an even dozen doctors and others met al
the Friday Morning club rooms yester-
day morning to hear what Dr. Thomas
Powell had to say about his discoveries
of vital philosophy, and witness the ex-
periments he had announced would be
made upon his own person. 1t was the
doctors purpose to refute the insinua-
tion made against him as fraud, and to
effectually square himself before the
profession, he had invited all the doc
tors of whatever school to come and in
vestigate his claims. The small audi
ence lietened attentively to Dr. PowelIs
preliminary remarks, in which he ex-
planned in brief his life mission He had,
he said, discovered a full quarter of a
century ago the secret of muscular trac-
tion and the forces of food and from that
he had successfully built up a perfect
vital philosophy which will revolution
ize the practice of medicine
AS he is writing book which is de-
signed to explain in extenso his system
and discoveries, and his philosophy Is
principles, he said he would not attempt
to give out an explanation until the book
is published, when all the truths will be
Givulged at once.
He had called this meeting, he said, to
prove his claims that he could immune
himself from any disease, and he pro-
posed to submit himself to the most Sc
we're proofs to substantiate his claims
He had, he said. so immuneta himself
from colds, for instance, that he could
get into superheated state of perspira-
ton and then roll in a snowbank without
experiencing any injurious effects. AS
snow banks are scarce in Los Angeles,
the doctor said he would go to the sum-
nit of Old Badly to prove this assertion.
So perfectly has his process worked in
him that he had not had a cold in the
past fifteen or twenty years.
For this special demonstration he had,
he said, prepared himself to be inocu-
lated with all kinds of virulent diseases
to prove that he was proof against in
fection, and he invited his audience to
give him dose of consumption, diph-
liberia, glanders, anthrax, leprosy. any
thing Strangely enough none of the
doctors present had come prepared with
any germs of these diseases, but DR.. j.
b. Pilkington rose to remark that in
preparation for this test he had sent to
Philadelphia and secured some cultures
of the bacilli of tuberculosis. diphthe-

A small sealed package that had ap-

duced and opened, and from it's interior
was produced some test tubes contain
ing small quantities of gelatinous COM
pound that. according to the labels con-
sisted of cultures of bacilli of tubercu-
losis, diphtheria and typhoid.
DR.. Powell said he proposed to have
himself inoculated with these various
diseases, and he wanted it distinctly

sponsibility in case anything serious

THE BATTLE Of THE HARBORS HAS BEGUN

the favorable topography of the land
back of it, the Cienega hills afford pro-
lection from winds. He pointed to the
islands of San Clemente and Santa Cat
alma on the map and showed how they
cut the fetch" of the waves. The in
shore eddy there is sufficiently strong to
allow vessels to ride the current Ship
Monica and individuals mentioned were
surprised at the calmness of the sea as
compared with other places, having new
er found a time when he could not unload
his vessel rapidly and safely at Port Los
Angeles.
Mr.. Corthell quoted extensively from
Professor Davidson's report concerning
the l0wlands around San Pedro and the
overflow of water at times Senator FRYE,
who has extensive information on such
matters, says that breakwater could
not afford protection from southeast
winds at San Pedro. A telegram to
Captain Taylor, now at Newport, r. l.,
in reply to Mr.. Corthell, assured him that
there had been no change in the captain s
opinion concerning the superiority Of
Santa Monica as harbor site. The
speaker described breakwaters-thirty-
three of them-in this country and Eu-
rope to prove that a detached break
water at Santa Monica, to which objec-
tions have been made, would prove ade-
quate for protection to vessels. He also
cited the disadvantages of sufficient
room at San Pedro for more than one
railroad and lack of facilities for harbor
commerce. The loading and unloading
of passenger and freight vessels as is ac-
complished at Port Los Angeles cannot
be done at San Pedro.

not to begin his argument until he could
finish it, more especially as he was suf-
fering with a severe cold. Judge Widney
was called upon, but declined as it was
his intention to review the evidence and
he did not wish to speak until the testi-
mony was all in.
SENATOR COLE PROPHESIES
Senator Cole being called upon next,
said: This matter concerns not only the

trade. If they wanted to combine
coastwise and deep sea business they
must build to the north for protection
1t was quite evident that they must
build where points have the greatest
horizontal distance to get the largest
protected area. When the pier was
built the speaker was badly frightened,
he didn't know as much as he does now
They had built better than they knew,
and really better than necessary; cer-
tainly after a breakwater Is built. In
San Pedro bay we know very little
about the holding ground absolutely,
but would concede 1t to be good es-
pecially If a breakwater is built. A
large rock was. however, discovered
there by Col. Gillespie, and the large
amount of kelp shows the existence Of
mineral substance. 1t may indicate
rock or cobble stones, which is hardly
good holding ground.
The Coos Bay was caught in beds of
kelp up north and had to be pulled
out by the Santa Rosa. In Santa Mon
lea bay there is absolutely no kelp out
side of the four-fathom line This was
shown by borings for the construction
of the wharf. The time for closing
having arrived, the session was ad-
Journed until ten o'clock today, at which
time Mr.. Hood will resume his argu-
ment.

will be largely for the benefit of the
United States and not our own city. BY
the time the harbor is completed the
population of Southern California will
run up to half million. If the proposi-
ton of the gentlemen of the chamber of
commerce and others Is listened to Los
Angeles will be sidetracked. We have
not stopped building railroads yet, and
the shortest routes east are through the
San GOrgonio and Cajon passes: a har-
Dor at San Pedro would be injurious tc
Los Angeles, as railroad men seek most
direct routes.
Admiral Walker reminded the sem
ator that he must confine his remarks
to the merits of the two places. Con-
tinuing. Mr. Cole thought the opinions
of Captain Taylor We're entitled to the
highest consideration. AS to the hydro
graphic character and the facilities Of
fered by the two places there is no
question of the superiority of Santa
Monica. San Pedro has large acreage
of rocky bottom: no such conditions are
found at Santa Monica
ENGINEER HOOD.
Mr.. Hood decided to occupy the half
hour remaining.
He said the location of the harbor must
be determined by the facts, not by the
public. Experts can decide better than
the whole state of California. He
would state some of the reasons why
the Southern Pacific abandoned the
building of wharf at San Pedro. At
that time there was little or no COM
merce at Santa Monica. When it be-
came known that a breakwater would
be built at Point Firman it was not
unnatural that the Southern Pacific
should desire to acquire shipping faeili-
ties there. The Southern Pacific I'm
provement company owns at present
seven-eighths of the territory at Point
Firman.
They started hastily to build wharf
there. but it was quite obvious that the
westerly swell would come in and coal
would land on the bay instead of on the
wharf They stopped in disgust and
considered a point at which they could
safeiy build. They were induced to go
to Santa Monica by the Pacific Coast
Steamship company.
IL was forced upon their attention that
an ocean pier, built anywhere but as far
north as possible, would lose the coast

resulted. One of the doctors suggested
that as the audience was so small, it
would be better to postpone the opera
tions until the next meeting, but this
did not strike popular chord. In an
swer to query DIR. Powell said that
though he could withstand the inocula-
tion of these diseases, it did not follow
that everybody could. He had prepared
himself with medicine and hygiene so
he could resist any disease.
AS It was decided that the demon
stration should proceed, DIR. Powell
barred his left arm while DIR. j. T. Scholl
made ready to perform the first opera
tion. While these preparations were 60
ing on Prof. A. ]. McClatchie, the we'll
known bacterolOgist, was opening the
test tubes of bacilli cultures and put
ting instruments in snaps. The first op-
Grafton was to inoculate with tubercu-
locis the doctor, who says he swallows
glanders by the mouthful and dotes on
anthrax. DR.. Scholl made a liberal soar
ification on the arm of Dr. Powell and
rubbed therein good dose of the tuber-
culosis, afterward covering the wound
and bandaging 1t. When this was done
Prof McClatchie gave a hypodermic
dose OF the same culture to a squealing
little guinea pig. The little animal is
expected to die of consumption within
four weeks If the culture was good.
while the human being who took the
same Kind of dose should by that time
under ordinary circumstances, exhibit
the unmistakable signs of that dread
malady. The guinea pig was marked
No. 1 by a solitary clip in one of his
ears, and was put back in the box
among his fellows.
The second operation was performed
entirely by DR.. McClatchde who in
jected into DR.. Powel's right arm a. 25
minim dose of diphtheria bacilli, which
would in ordinary cases bring down a.
subject with that disease in four or five
days.
DIR. Powell said that he expected to
be placed under surveillance to prove
that he did not tamper with the inocu-
lations, and hoped some bachelor doc
tor would sleep with him to see to it
that the inoculations had a chance to
get in their work The doctors present
said they could trust DR.. Powell with
out watching him, and they will ac-
cordingly trust his word alone
The inoculated guinea pig will be kept
by Prof. McClatchie at his home In Dow
pey, and carefully watched,
Another similar meeting will be held
at 10 a. m. today, when Dr. Powell
will be treated to more varieties of dis
eases. he expressing a willingness to
subject himself to anything anybody
can contribute.

that he is not fraud. and, second. that
