lowed there After Mr.. Gray had made
representation of certain facts to the
witness other information had been af-
forded by the Rev. ]. G. Fletcher, ana
witness then realized that in the inter-
est of the public an investigation ought
to be made. Detective Insley was en-
gagged to probe the matter and after the
reports made by the detective had been
carefully scanned Miss Muriel Irwin.
made one of the party defendants in the
present action, was detailed to report
the entire affair and passed a week as
an inmate of Belmont Hall. Col. Otis
denied that he had ever known Miss
Holmes, or that he bore her any malice,
but had published the results of the in
vestigation made. believing that an ex-
position of the Belmont Hall methods
ought to be made as a matter of public
interest.
Mrs. Minnie Conrad, like many an
other one, has been attracted by "spook-
ism," and was brought in contact with
the Belmont Hall people as an investi-
gator She visited Miss Holmes and
knew of her teachings in East Los Ang-
eles, and learned from her that if peo
pie didn't live as she Miss Holmes)
taught then they would surely sink into
perdition She affirmed. too, that she
mad Travelled in the heights of heaven
and in the depths of hell.
Th1S latter assertion aroused the GU
riosity of Senator. White and he was GU
rious to know what Miss Holmes had
to say about the population of the in
fernal regions. The answer was not
re-assuring for witness stated that the
plaintiff told her that while heaven was
sparsely populated the other place was
just brimming over. A spirit named
Abel co-operated with Miss Holmes and
at date when she became angry with
witness she told her that this spiritual
parsonage could destroy her A certain
picture was shown witness wherein what
purported to be dragon was represent
cd in the happy pastime of gratifying his
dragonesque appetite by swallowing
myriads of spirits.
The plaintiff alleged that she had seen
his satanic majesty and this picture was
a reproduction of what she had seen
A RENEGADE FROM THE RANKS.
The next witness was an important
and at the same time a most amusing
one, albeit the most important portion
of her testimony was not given until
after the noon recess. Mrs. Mary Van
Auken was for a time the president of
the Spiritualistic society, and presum-
ably, knew the spook catechism from A
to q. For a time Miss Holmes lived in
her house on Pearl street and from this
witness testimony they must have HAD
a merry time of it.
Mrs. Van Auken stated that Miss
Holmes had told her that she was the
greatest medium on earth, and that she
was here to finish and complete the i'm
perfect work of Christ She claimed
that she was nearly always under CON
troll" and witness swallowed all the as
sertions and never made 3 wiry face.

FOR THE BOULEVARD
ENTHusIAsTIc REPRESENTA-
TIvEs FROM MANY POINTS
South Pasadena's Gift--The Various
Routes Considered--Much
Interest Shown

The Pasadena boulevard meeting held
yesterday afternoon in the chamber of
commerce was well attended. Citizens
were present from Pasadena. South
Pasadena. Garvanza. Glendale, Eagle
Rock. Alhamba and San Gabriel
Judge Silent acted as chairman. and
| William Knight as secretary. Colin
| Stewart, president of the Pasadena
board of trade; F. A. Cottell, j. B.

others, represented Pasadena.

dena.

but said little. being anxious to hear
from the adjoining towns.
Judge Silent opened the meeting, say
ing the committee had called the citi-
zens together to receive suggestions as
to the most practical route for the pro-
POSED boulevard.
C. H. Lantz, of South Pasadena, said
that city had decided to offer the right
of way through 120 feet wide, also that
the city would macadamize the road and
plant shade trees and do all in it's power
to have the boulevard run through
South Pasadena.
w. d. Stephens, Geo. l.. Patton, ]. NJ.
Elliott and Geo. Rice favored the AL
hambra route. They considered it the
best scenic route, through the older and
more highly cultivated part of the coun-
try, and away from the railroad.
Frank Cattern spoke further for South
Pasadena, and thought the route should
connect with Orange Grove avenue,
that very beautiful drive of Pasadena.
Geo. L. Stearns thought Garvanza
could not be ignored. The most direct
route lay through it, and it was most
favored by traffic.
C. S. Eaton of Pasadena spoke from an
engineers standpoint and said the route
through Alhambra would require bridges
and grading and steep cuts.
Andrew Glassel favored a western
route embracing Tropico. Glendale,
Eagle Rock. He knew a right of WAY
could be secured of $50 feet.
Mr.. Donegan of Los Angeles favored
this route.
In short the committee called out
from all present their ideas in regard to
the boulevard. The interest manifested,
the large attendance and the earnestness
If the views given, made the committee
quite content. The maps and routes
shown were all we'll studied. and while
nothing definite was decided upon yes
terday, the full and free expression has
opened the subject thoroughly for future
work. The gift Of one mile and half Of

WASHINGTON, Oct. -. If, aS am.

Scarcely more irritating reply could

the face of DANGEROUSLY expressed

refrained from any recognition of or

For Spain To demand still more eff

United states the responsibility for the
strength and endurance of the rebel
lion, will be Irritating. even exaspcrat-

thoroughly understand the presidents
attitude in this matter know
that he and his secretary of
state are neither timid nor vascillating.
nor are they amiable beyond the de
mands Of propriety. II Sagasta shall
make any such demand as the Madrid
dispatches outline, Spanish sensible
ties will be shocked in the prompt re-
joindcr that will be made. The suQ-
gcstion that this government has been
insincere in it's efforts To stop flibus-
tering, and that the administration is
conniving at violations of neutral

not To be passed without notice. The
