him to include Southern California in
his present tour of Colorado and Utah.

ANNULAR THEORY
Free Lecture by Prof. Vail Last

for about an hour and half Prof. Vail
answered questions for another half hour
and the audience seemed absorbed with
interest until collection was mentioned,
when considerable number melted

Prof. Vail commenced we'll back in

as the cooling process proceeded, ac-
cording to one theory, or according to
another the vapors cooled, condensed

rings in the equatorial skies and stayed
there revolving for millions of years.

Vail holds, and he proceeded to explain

precious metals Of a world must float,
one at a time, polewards from the

former place than elsewhere, because as
llong as a planet turns its centrifugal
motion tends to throw the ring or canopy
upward in the equatorial regions, and it
in turn seeks to fall where there is no
resistance, at the poles.

THEY WANT HIM BACK
UNITY CHURCH CONGREGATION
WILL RECALL DIR. THOMSON
Debate Over Proposed Amendments
of the Bylaws-Committee
Appointments

The trustees and members Of the
Unity church congregation met last
night to consider the. amendment of the
bylaws to the end that the congregation
itself could take a hand in the pressure
that is being brought to bear to restore
Dr. Thomson as shepherd of the Unity
lambs. Five of the trustees, Messrs.
Newberry, Harris. Pascoe. Works and
hundred members of the church argued
the question before them with more than
religious enthusiasm.
j. r. Newberry presided at the meet
ing, which was addressed by Judge Har-
ris, Mr.. Hamilton and others. with in
terjectional remarks by Charles w. Sea
mans and F. J. Cooper. Judge Harris
delivered an emotional address on the
origin, growth and species Of bylaws
in general and the Unity bylaws in par
ticular, to which Mr.. Seamans replied
with an impassioned harangue on moth
ing in general and the same in particu-
lar. In this he was aided and abetted
by Mr.. Cooper, who supplied Mr.. Sea-
mans with the necessary facts and docu-
ments when he showed signs of failing
memory or exhausted physique.
After about two hours of heated but
godly debate, Mr.. Newberry, with few
remarks of delicately humorous turn,
rose to appoint a committee to amend
the by-laws. Mr.. Seamans slowly as
sumed a standing posture and began to
breathe fire and avoirdupois upon the
devoted assemblage. He was persuaded
to devote his energies to assuming a
sitting position, and Mr.. NewbeTry an
nounced as his committee Judge Hum
phries and Messrs Variel, Trask, Fin
layson and Miller.
AT the request of the entire con grega-
tion the trustees had. held special meet
ing on Monday night and the obnox-
ious resolution accepting the resigna-
ton of Dr. Thomson was rescinded. The
announcement of this action was re-
celved with.chaste applause.
A second committee was appointed by
the chairman the purpose of which will
be to formulate some plan of action
whereby DR.. Thomson may be rest tored
to his anxious flock. The COMMITTEES
consists of Messrs. Baxter, Seamans,
Green. Webb, Austin, Mrs. Variel and
Mrs. George Parsons. The meeting was
then adjourned.

THE YACHTSMEN KICK
UNFAIRNESs ALLEGED IN LAST
SUNDAYS RACE
The Sailing Masters Of the Sloop
Restless Declare They Are En-
titled to First Prize

The first protest against the decision
of the judges at the recent yacht races
given by the Terminal Island Yacht
club has come to the surface. IT will
be remembered that the Sloop Restless
was the first to cross the line, Flying
Bird coming in nine minutes later. When
figuring out the elapsed time, the judges
found that Flying BIRD had won by two
and one-half minutes, and so announ nced.
The sailing masters of the Restless send
the following protest to The Herald:
To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: 1t has been published in the papers
that the Flying Bird won the yacht race at
Terminal Island Sunday, Aug. 18th, and
as we are positive we were treated un-
fairly by the judges, we wish to call the
attention of the public to a few facts. Mr..
Sumner told us that if we were not over
the line by p. m. we would be barred,
but after we had passed seven minutes
was allowed the boats who waited for
better breeze, a trick which could also
have been played by us. The judge also
claims that the Flying Bird left at 1:021s,
or liz minutes after us, and that she
came in nine minutes later, thereby beat
ing us by two and one-half minutes.
Now we wish to say that If it was the
San Pedro that we had been playing for
all the time, and which crossed the line
just nine minutes after us on the finish,
we cannot see how the names of the two
boats can SO easily mix the judges, espec-
tally when we were all numbered. The
San Pedro, Wiley, Defender, Jr., and six
or seven others were ahead of us until after
passing the first stake boat, when we over
Hauled all boats except the Wiley, King
Fisher and San Pedro. We soon passed the
King Fisher, cut out the Wiley and then
played for the San Pedro, which was the
next boat to finish-nine minutes after we
had crossed the line. We believe we have
the public and all the honest boats on our
side and only ask for fair deal.
JACK MCREA.
w. e. DE LAY.
This protest. doubtless honestly made,
comes somewhat tardily. When the
decision was made, on Sunday after
noon, Messrs. McCrea and De Lay made
the same objection, but afterwards de-
clared themselves satisfied with the ver-
dict and accepted second prize 1t is
| grave thing to charge such men as c. A.
Sumner, Col Marceau, T. E. Gibbou
and f. J. Thomas with deliberate unfair-
ness in rendering decision in yacht
| race. Even il such mistake were made
as is charged in the protest, it is quite
/, certain that it was no more than mis-
| take and rot calculated action

ToRTURING FOR SCIENCE
A Protest Against Government Aid
| for Vivisection Experiments

To the Star: The Star tells us that If
the Indians be allowed to gorge them
selves at the expense of the government,
and be not made to work for their liv-
ing, that outbreaks may be expected.
There are other besides the poor In
dian" who get from the government
what they should not have.
The scientific investigators Of Wash
ington, D. c., are of this class. They get
many things-money, position and influ-
ence-from the United States govern
ment, and for what? For torturing help
less beasts with all the horrors of scien-
tific cruelty. 1t is not in the sweat of
their brows that the vivisectors earn
what the government gives them, but
ira the sweat of the agony of the beast,
as it lies fastened with patent holder,
powerlesS to cry out, because it's vocal
cords have been cut, or in that of the
victims of inocula tions, which writhe in
the tortures of an artificially induced
disease, from which death is the only
escape.
What is the outcome of the govern
ment money so expended? Do the in
vestigators really find cures for the mall
aides of man and beast? No; but they
find serums, with which they can give
people the disease they claim to prevent
and cure-serums which they can sell
for money, which will make them rich
and influential beyond their government
positions.
Will there be outbreaks from this mis-
placed aid, as in the case of the Indians ?
Probably not, for If we lift our voices
never 80 feebly against this awful prac-
tice of vivisection we are frowned down
and called sentimental and hystericaL

WHITTIER WAITS WALK
Ringleaders in the Late Uprising At.
tempt to Escape

Twenty-one inmates of the Whittier
reform school made a dash for liberty
yesterday morning, as the 6 o'clock drill
was taking place. They were all mem
bers of Companies A, c, and D, the ring
leaders in the late uprising.
The.school officers and the inha bitant Is
of Whittier at once secured the country,
capturing eighteen of the escaped boys.
They were immediately locked in on
OF, the basement playrooms and will be
disciplined. Three of the boys are still
at large, though their names and de-
scriptions have not been furnished to the
police. 1t is stated that escapes from the
school have become so common of la te
that the warning whistle which used to
apprise the surrounding country of a
runaway is no longer blown.
