MUNHALL MEETINGS
The Evagelist Speaks on Christian
Character

Simpson Tabernacle was again packed
last night to hear DR. Munhall Short
reports were made from the women s
prayer meetings held in different parts
IL the city, all reporting successful meet
ings.
The evangelist spoke from Acts 11-26
"And the disciples were called Christians
first in Antioch
A religion that costs nothing is not
worth having. The word Christian was
applied to the disciples as a term of re-
proach. There were not many of the
apostles yet they were accused of turn
ing the world upside down. If we just
get down to soul-saving work, and do
Gods work, we will prosper. If I had
here my choice of the time when should
have lived, I would have chosen the
time of the infant church because Of
the simplicity of the faith and the sin
certify of the work.
Christ says, call you no more SER
wants but friends; If we only get close
enough to the Master to see his signal
we will have no trouble In keeping in
line.
1t is only little time; some of us are
we'll along towards the end Of
the journey. If only we have
been faithful in gathering in
souls who will be jewels in our crowne.,
1t will not matter how soon the sum-
mons comes. Heaven will be all glorious
becaues you have done your duty here.
How many Of you are willing to give
yourselves up, loyalty and faithfully to
do Gods will and bring souls to Christ :?

ALMOST A RIOT
Wordy Dispute Over the Fixtures of
a Butcher Shop


There was almost an incipient riot at

of the trouble was an attempt on the
part of s. o. Richardson to remove sundry
cases Of bread, confectionery, fish. ice.
etc., from corner Of the big butcher
shop owned by Charles Gassen. The
latter claimed that he owned the whole
thing; that 1t wac purchased by him
months ago, and has stood In his name
ever since. He therefore resisted all at
tmpts at removal, and called in the DO
lice to prevent the same.
Richardson, however, displayed a

M'CAMISH BOUND OVER
MUST ANSWER FOR THE MUIR
DER OF PYLE
Some Sensational Testimony Given
Yesterday = "Trusty" Dennis
Story Of the Confession

The preliminary examination of Ed
MECHANISM for the murder of H. Mccoy
Pyle was concluded at Newhall yester-
day and he was held to answer for the
crime in the superior court.
'"Trusty" Madison, to whom Sheriff
Charlebois said McCainish had made a
confession of the murder while confined
in the Ventura jail, was one OF the first
witnesses placed upon the stand. He
stated that his true name is John S.
Dennis, and that he was in jail for dis
turbing the peace when McCamish was
brought in. McCamish, he said, con-
fessed to him all about the murder of
Pyle when he heard that the handouts
and other articles which he had reported
as stolen were found in his room. He
had been terribly agitated at the news
and felt sure that 1t meant conviction.
He said that he had intended to- burn
these things on the Sunday following
the murder, but there had been some one
around all the time, which made 1t I'M
possible.
McCamish also said that he had been
intimate with Mrs. Pyle for year past,
and that Pyle had nearly caught him
with her one morning. He had only
escaped by running out Of the house par
TALLY dressed. He had also said that
Mrs. Pyle told him that she had started
to poison her husband six months ago
and was sorry that she did not carry it
out.
McCamish had said to Dennis: What
shall I do now that these things have
been found in my room?" and he had an
swered by saying: "Why. say that some
body has put up Job on you and placed
them there" McCamish then told Den
mis- that he could have got a man to kill
Pyle for $100.
McCamish listened to this testimony
with the utmost GOODNESS. The defense
introduced no evidence and the case
was submitted after brief argument.

THEY WERE ALL THERE
New Republican Organization Started
With Flow Of Oratory

The seceders from the Young Mems
Republican club met in! Police Judge
Morrison's court room last evening, and
proceeded to organize an independent
organization. The youthful court house
push was much in evidence, and the
presence Of Don Francisco Dominguez
was very largely felt. that gentleman
having broken all previous records in
the way Of speech-making After a
sort of lovefeast, in which all the younG
barristers were given an opportunity
to hear how their voices sounded in a
court room, the organization proceeded
to get down to business. Captain F. J.
Cressey feelingly alluded to the fact
that the purpose of the meeting was to
provide "a maui with which to maui
their political enemies" which senti-
ment seemed to strike responsive
chord, for 1t was received with an out
burst of applause, and then the meet
ing proceeded to elect S. M. Haskell Of
the Pomona Progress temporary chair
man and Lester Robinson secretary.
A flow of oratory followed, after which
on motion the chairman was author
lied to appoint committee on consti-
tuition and bylaws, and another COM
mittee for some other object. In the
meantime the secretary had circulated
a petition, and announced that thirty
eight had signed the roll. This also
called forth applause. Then Statesman
Hough announced that the report was
a little shy, and he could confidently
promise at least fifty names for the
opening. Mr., Hough's remarks were
received, indeed, as were those of every
speaker, with applause, and some more
of the young men were SO encouraged
over the outburst of, enthusiasm that
they followed suit. 1T was the consen-
sus Of opinion of those present that the
future success of the Republican party
depended in a large extent on this
youthful organization, and so impressed
was the chairman with this feeling that
he said he would have to defer the ap-
pointment of his committees until he
could consult with his brother leaders.
More speech-making followed. Messrs
Garrett, Gish, Dominguez and others
favoring the audience with their
choicest kindergarten selections. After
the meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the chair.
Among those present were Deputies
Fleming and AL Graham of the sheriff S
office; Don francisco Dominguez. Ed
Carson of the board of supervisors, Dep
uty County Clerk Monroe, ex-Deputy
Andy Francisco, Ben Cohn, Don Rafaei
Sepulveda, Prof. Hough, Col. Delour,

numerous to mention. Messrs. Kinney,

by their absence. AS Deputy Fleming

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-"The
Lady of Lyons" attracted good sized
audience last night. and the perform
ance, which was given by the same cast
as before, went with perfect smooth
ness.
Otis Skinner is seen to great advan-
tage in the part Of the romantic Claude
Melnotte, and achieves the apparently
impossible task of making the charac-
ter almost admirable. In some respects
it may seem to be a waste Of power and
prcdigal expenditure Of talent to put
forth labor and study upon so meretri-
cious an object. and yet the fact remains
that the public takes pleasure in listen
ing to the stilted language employed by
the characters, and most of all by the
pinchbeck hero himself. The woes of
the naughty Pauline still cause the
dropping Of many a responsive tear.
and the highly offensive Beauseant still
excites the disgust and contempt of all
the ardent young sous who desire to see
the course Of true love ru.l smoothly.
Mr.. Skinner Is perfectly at home in
the trying costumes that belong to the
period of the piece; he is perfectly re-
sponsive to all the situations, and most
touchingly persuasive in the wooing Of
his lady love. With the collapse of the
scheme to delude the fair one comes
the climax of 'he cottage scene, in which
it is a pity that Mr.. Skinner chooses to
somewhat abridge what is by far the
best speech in the play, the famous
apology" SO called.
The actor is, however, thoroughly con-
vincing in an unconvincing part, which
is saying q great deal in his praise. but
no more than he deserves.
Sarah Truax makes an admirable
Pauline, playing the part with ease, SEN
sibility and not without decided grace
Of attitude and gesture, which, however,
might be improved If certain Of her
standing positions were more carefully
studied.
Tonight another romantic drama,
written by Mr.. Skinner and entitled "A
Soldier of Fortune" will be given for
the first time here. 1t is partly founded
upon Yates successful novel, "The
Honor of Savelli," so far as the opening
scenes and foundation of the plot are
concerned, but departs from that original
afterwards. The piece gives Mr.. Skin
ner fine opportunity to do a piece of
work of 1.-THE Three Guardsmen" order,
in which he Is cure to shiNe.
