COL. BRADBURY GOES EAST.
Russell Ward May Be Expelled
From the California Club.

LOS ANGELES, July 3.-Mrs. L. l.
Bradbury, Colonel John Bradbury and
Louis Bradbury left this morning fol
the East via the Santa F'e route.
Several members of the California
Club were about the town this morning
endeavoring to arrange meeting of the
Board Of Directors for the purpose OF
expelling Russell Ward, whose name on
the books is considered an affront to
the other members.
Late this afternoon H. Russell Ward
and Mrs. Bradbury were arrested by
an officer of the Society for the Proven
ton of Vice for alleged violation of the
seventh commandment Ward was
furious at his arrest, denouncing the
officer and the society in vigorous
terms. Mrs Bradbury. who has
throughout displayed much less ner-
vousness than her companion, was pale
but self contained, making little COM
ment and giving no evidence Of dispo-
sition to resort to woman's tears. The
pair were taken TO the city prison and
after some little delay Mrs Bradbury
was released on her own recognizancei
after spending two hours in the city
prison. Ward was unable to give bail

ment all night. Mrs. Bradbury immedi-

the Western Union Telegraph Company
where she composed and dispatched
several messages with business like
precision.
She was heavily yelled as she walked
from her carriage to the telegraph Of
flee, but when she wrote her kilograms
she raised her veil and the telegraph
clerks remarked on the absence of any
signs of perturbation. After Ward was
arrested an attempt was made to in
terview him, but he was not willing to
make any statement. He tried tC
maintain an air of nonchalance but i;
was by visible effort, and when he
was informed that Colonel Bradbury
was coming to San Francisco on his
way East, Ward could not conceal his
evident uneasiness, although he rs cul-
tivating an attitude of bravado. Meth
er Ward nor Mrs. Bradbury would dis
cuss their plans or future movements.

THE MILITARY SHOTS.

Many Good Marksmen Will Stay
Away From the State Contest.
The contests for the musket and revolver
championships OF the State among the
mem bers Of the National Guard of Califor-
MIA will be held in Sacramento ON next
Saturday. All who in the last spring and
fall shoots qualified by making 80 per cent
are eligible to contest for State decora-
tions.
The arrangements of the authorities for
the big event are anything but satisfac-
tory to the military marksmen, who re-
gard the contest as more Of a dice-shaking
proposition than a test OF craftsmanship,
and they believe that the results will
make them the laughing -~tock Of the mill
tary shooters of the United States.
The reason is this: When they shot for
qualification they were permitted to use
Springfield muskets and Colts army re-
volvers, with which they are familiar.
They were allowed to load their own
cartridges SO long as they loaded for the
musket with sixty-six grains OF powder
ana bullets not Weighing less than 405
grains. Their revolver practice was with
such factory ammunition adapted to the
weapon as best suited them.
Under the regulations governing the
contest the marksmen are com peiled 10
shoot rife cartridges furnished by the
State, and the size of the load, weight OF
bullet and freshness of the powder are un-
known to the marksmen.
The proposition that it is Just as fair for
one as for the other does not hold, Tor the
contest is supposed to be to determine
who is the best shot. This can only be
done by letting each shoot under the best

conditions to himself so long as he OBJ

loading his ammunition, trigger pull, etc.

Philosophy. he said, ''is that trans

a noble spiritual life. 1t can only be known
by those who are pure and unselhsh.
"The spiritual student must put aside

work OF uplifting humanity. No man can
sell'theosophical science. The man VINO
says he can teach theosophy for
q price has nothing that is worth giving.

terms of Colonel Olcutt and Nine. Blavat-

The Vice. e.President Of the Organized

A large number of visitors went out
yesterday to see how the new boulevard is
progressing. There were SO many car
riages, buggies, bicycles and pedestrians
on the road thither and back that it some.
what resembled procession.
The work is rapidly going forward. A
big hill has been partly cut down and the
ravine just below the Almshouse has been
so far filed up that vehicles can pass.
The timber has been cut away for about
an eighth of mile. Superintendent
Egan says in week from to-day they
will have completed mile of the drive
way, and in few days it will be SO far
opened up that view OF the ocean can be
had from the bottom of the hill where the
road passes the Almshouse.
The hardest part of the grading will be
accomplished with the cutting through of
they need is more funds to quickly open
up the new drive, for there are plenty OF
hard workers ready to buckle down to the
job for a dollar day.
Chairman McCord says there were 26O
men at work Saturday and there will be
800 to-day. They have a contribution box
put up on the side of the tool shed so that
the pilgrims out there can help the enter
prise along.
The NUMBER of organized unemployed
Guartered in the old Armory Hall on
Howard street is now reduced to 600. A
number have found employment and
many have gone away. They had meet
ing yesterday afternoon in which they de-
cided to reject the new headquarters the
committee selected for them on Second
street because they were too small. The
place where they now are is so crowd ed
it is difficult to get all the men fed, be-
cause so few can sit at the table at once.
The men are sleeping on the bare floor,
most of them with very light covering
over them and some with none.
Vice President f. T. Merrill says that
the men are p rfectly willing to work for
81 day and will taEe any sort OF work
offered. There are men, he says, in the
organization representing nearly all
trades, but thew are willing to try to
adapt themselves 10 any new occupations
that will give them living
The men have some hopes OF hearing
again from an Oregon miner who talked
of en- ploying $50 of them. Vice President
Merrill says tina, three times the number
called for had offered to go.
The organized men have grievance
against the Salvation Army, and they
take no interest in the Salyationists pro-
posal of sending them to the country.
They are not averse to going to the coun-
try under other auspices, however.
