STREET CAR MEN ARRESTED.
For Not Providing Vestibules to Protect
Motormen.


Motormen.
St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 22.-Warrants Is
were issued today against Edward Whit
aker, president OF the Lindell Railway
company; Corwin H. Spencer, president
of the Southern Electric Railway; John
Scullin. president of the Union Depot
railway, and Captain Robert McCul-
loch, general manager Of the CaSs Ave
nue. and Fair Grounds railway.
The warrants were placed in the hands
of deputy sheriffs, who placed the men
mentioned in the information under ar
rest.
The street railway officials are charged
with having failed to provide vestibule5
during the months OF November. Decem-
Der, January, February and March of
each year, for the protection of motor
men, as required by a statute enacted at
the last session of the Missouri legisla-
ture.
The heads Of the four lines were
brought into court and gave bail to ap-
pear later and answer to the charge.
The statute covering the case reads in
part, as follows:
That every electric car. other than
trail cars which are attached to motor
cars, shall be provided during the months
OF November. December. January, Feb
ruary and March of each year. al the

association or corporate violating any
of the provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor and up
on conviction shall be fined in a sum not
less than SIS nor more than 800 for each
day that any car belonging to or used by
such person, association or corporation

elapsed from the date of issue If. for
instance, policy should be taken out
for $40, and the subject should die with
in three months of the date of applica-
ton, the amount Of insurance would Only
be SIS. The full amount is paid after
the policy has been in existence for a
year. This fact has some bearing on the
Zanoli case. If the BARRIERS last wife,
on whom he collected insurance, had
lived nine months longer the policy would
have been worth $40, whereas she lived
only three months from the time OF issu-
ing the policy and ne got only SIS. The
daughter ne collected on was insured
under a policy that had been in force
seven years. He collected only $50. 1t
was policy which would have increased
in amount each year for several years
after. 1t would have been to his ad-
vantage to keep both of these women
alive.

A while ago we heard things which made
us suspicious, and when those suspicious
were confirmed we had him arrested.
All charges about mis- poisoned wives
came out as a result of the trial. The
payment OF death claims by the COM
panies is made upon the same evidence
that the city requires TO get permit for

costs. and payment is promptly made.

this question of burial to the poor. There

buried. Here the Italian mission, which
formerly had this territory, had little o.
no success. 1t is due TO the skill and the
perseverance of the German missionaries
that up to the recent assassination of two
of their brethren this mission was One Of
the most successful in China. AS late
as last spring the most satisfactory re-
ports were received from Yen-chau-su, the
scene of the murder.
Despite the historic "reminiscences which
cluster about this place, the latter has no
particular religious sanctity in the eyes Of
the Chinese. Yen-chau-su has Buddhist
and Toast temples, and some eighty opium
hens prove that the literati, who are the
originators of all riots directed against
Christians and foreigners. care precious lit
tie for questions of moral and public well
fare.
The number of Catholic missionaries in
China is estimated at 500 by competent au-
thorities; the number Of native Christians
will probably not exceed 10000 Most of
them are descendants OF old families that
became converts in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries.
The activity of protestant missionaries
in China dates only from the treaty OF
Marking in 1S42. This does not take into
account the Dutch mission On Focmosa,
1924 to 1854, which disappeared without
leaving any traces. About 1,5O0 persons OF
both sexes, the women being in the ma
jority, belonging to some forty English,
American and German missionary socie-
ties, participate in the work. The number
or communicates is given at 10000.
An important part in the Protestant mis-
sions is played by the physicians. who are
employed in about twenty hospitals, while
in the Roman Catholic hospitals, which
are mostly conducted by Sisters of Mercy,
only Chinese physicians are employed.
The Protestant Missionaries are, accord
ing TO their nationanties, under the protec-
ton OF the various embassies. IF they On
this account suffer in political Importance
it can not be denied, on the other hand,
that these missionary societies play an
important role in England and in the Uni
ted States, and that they on more than one
occasion have materially influenced the ac-
tons of their governments.

CORONA, March 2s.-(special Cor

formerly the town of South Riverside,
but when 1t became a municipality and
was incorporated as city of the sixth
class it dropped it's double -barrele'i
name and took on that of Corona.
name suggested by the fact that the
business and residence portion Of the
city was surrounded by wide boule-
ward forming a perfect circle. enclos-
ing tract Of land one mile il diameter.
A person can start from the business
center, drive half mile in any direc-
ton and reach the boulevard; he can
then drive for about three miles on that
boulevard without getting over halI
mile from the starting point
The name South Riverside still clings
to the postoffice, although it is believed
that the department will soon change
this name to Corona, the only objection
now to the change being that it looks so
much like Covina that errors in the mail

the Temescal valley to Elsinore,

Corona is never visited by injurious
frosts, except it be in a very limited

made by the Los Alamitos country in the
line of development during the last few
months Is a matter that the people Of
Orange county have reason to feel proud
of. The building of sugar factory of
capacity second to none on the coast
together with the fact that the sugar
beets which the factory is to be supplied

vicinity, means much for that section
of Orange county 1t means that pros
porous city will spring up as If by magic
at the new town and 1t means, too, that
Orange county will In a very few months
have several hundred more prosperous

possibly be any exaggeration in this
statement as enough has already been
accomplished at Los Alamdtos to show
that the town and surrounding country
is making wonderful progress This ad-

roads and good school facilities by the
officials of Orange county, and these
things should be done not grudgingly
but as a matter of course. To adopt any
other course would be a great mistake
and one that cannot afford to be made.
All parts of the county have every rea-
son to wish this more newly developed
part of the county should be treated
fairly and even literally. The feeling
that our interests and theirs are mutual
should be encouraged and they should
be given to understand that we are will
ing to back up our words by our deeds
In pursuance of such policy as this the
better school facilities asked for by
Los Aiamitos should, be granted ii it is
within the power of the county super
visors to do so. The request for such
school facilities has been made and re-
fused at a recent meeting of the super
visors. According to them all due re-
spect, ii must be said that the reasons
given for denying the petition are no
valid reasons at all. If it is within the
power of the board of supervisors to re-
consider this refusal and grant the petit
tion no time should be lost in doing so.
We have every reason to believe that
1t represents the sentiment of a vast ma
jority of people when we earnestly ask
the matter to be taken up by the board
of supervisors at once. 1t is simply that
justice may be done that we call atten-
tion to this matter 1t must be apparent
to all that 1t would be great injustice
to compel the children of Los Alamitos
to go two and quarter miles out into
the country to attend school because
they happen to be located in a district
which has a good school building that
distance away.
The board ~ supervisors and the peo-
pie of Orange must realize that 1t is a
good policy to tote fair" with the Los
Alamitos people at this time. lest the
time come and that quickly that they re-
fuse to tote at all.
OF the $500 acres of the Los Alamitos
