stated that he wanted his valise, con-
tanning his underclothing, brought to
him, and this Detective Goodman agreed
to do for him.
Assistant District Attorney Willis
appeared for the prosecution and At

room was filled with men who desired
to see the murderer, but the latter paid
no attention whatever to the crowd. He

On cross examination he at times re-

them sharply. DR.. Hagan told of his
having been called to the scene and what
he found there. He also gave the result
of the autopsy. Coroner Campbell was
called and questioned about the inquest.
One or two other witnesses who had
seen Arthur shoot the woman told their
story, and the prosecution closed. There
was no defense, and Justice Morrison
remanded the prisoner to Jail without
bail to await such action as the superior
court may take in his case.

My trip to San Francisco was made with

If any teacher has been asked to take
out life insurance by any agent and my

done without my consent. authority or
knowledge. And, furthermore, Mr.. Webb

JEFFRIES-GODDARD
HEAVYWEIGHTS MATCHED BY
THE ATHLETIC CLUE
For a Fifteen Round Go at Hazards
Pavilion on February 1910
Train Here

Lovers Of pugilism in this city are to
be given an opportunity to witness one
of the best mills between heavyweights
that has been pulled off for many long
day. 1t will be fifteen-round go be-
tween Jim Jeffries of this city and Joe
Goddard at Hazards pavilion on the
evening of February IS, under the aus
pices of the Los Angeles Athletic club.
The negotiations for the fight have been
in progress for some time, but 1t was not
until last night that the official and def
mite announcement was made. The club
has secured deposit of 5000 forfeit from
each of the men. Goddard is expected to
arrive here some time next week and
will at once begin training at the Ath-
letic club rooms. Jeffries will do his
training at home. His manager, De-
laney, will handle him.
AS the men are heavyweights, there
can be no limit as to weight. Jeffries
will fight at about 210 pounds, Goddard
about 1S0. The contest is on the percent
age plan, the club to retain 80 per cent of
the gross receipts for expenses. The
fighters will divide the balance, on a
basis of IS and 95 per cent. The referee
is to be chosen by the club and by the
men, all parties to agree upon a man. It
is probable that John Brink will act in
that capacity.

The viewers report in the matter of
widening Vernon avenue was continued
for hearing to February I'd.
The contract and bond of J. Il. Mer-
cereau for construction of the Ballona

County Surveyor Wright was instruct

The new primary election law is caus-
ing the board lot of trouble, and it is
yet matter of doubt whether all of it's
requirements can be complied with. The
primary elections will be held in July
and the new law makes it obligatory
upon the board that in January the
board shall select not less than fifteen
electors residing in each election pre-
cinct, these to be selected from each of
the political parties existing in the pre-
cinct in as nearly equal proportions as
practicable.
But difficulty is being experienced in
finding a sufficient number of represent
atives of the several parties in the sew
eral precincts, for while Republicans
and Democrats are to the front, the 9TH
er distinct parties are not so we'll repre-
sented.

MONEY ORDER CLEARING HOUSE
Los Angeles National Bank Consented
to Such Arrangement

Postmaster John r. Mathews, ably
seconded and assisted by Postal In
spector M. H. Flint, has been working
for some time to establish with one of
the local banks clearing house methods
for United States postoffice money or
ders.
Yesterday the Los Angeles National
bank consented to act as the clearing
house for money orders, and the ar
rangement will go into effect as soon as
the necessary papers arrive from the
Washington department.
By this means money orders may be
deposited in any and all banks by indi-
viduals or business firms, and the Los
Angeles National bank will be the me-
dium between all such banks and the
postoffice, thereby facilitating business
in various ways.

Inspector for alleged violations of the
boiler inspection ordinances, were to

side was ready the cases were indefinite

ever either side desires. 1t is not the
intention of the inspector to prosecute
these cases very vigorously, as the men
are, in his opinion, only technically
guilty, other persons being as much to

THE SUNSET CLUB
Major Lee the New President-Judge
Knight on Artemus Ward

One of the most enjoyable monthly
meetings which the Sunset club has held
since its organization was held last
night at the Maison Doree with some
sixty members in attendance.
A resolution was presented authoriz-
ing the chair to appoint a committee of
five members, whose names are not to
be made public, to receive applications
for membership and to make such rec
concentrations with reference to those
applications as they may see fit. The
club is afterward to vote upon the
unanimously adopted. The club de-
clared four vacancies to exist at pres
ent.
The nominating committee appointed
for the purpose of naming officers for
the ensuing year reported recommend
ing the election of the following officers:
President, Maj. H. T. Lee; secretary,
Fred l.. Allies; treasurer, Louis F. Vet
ter. These geneltmen We're elected by
acclamation. Maj. Lee at once took the
chair amid uproarious applause and
made handsome little speech, which
ocoasioned much more applause.
The paper of the evening was read by
Judge Enoch Knight, whose subject was
Charles Farrar Browne (Artemus
Ward)." Judge Knight is perhaps the
best informed man in the state on this
character, whose quaint sayings and
writings have amused, delighted and in
structed so many thousands of the An
glo-Saxon and other races, for the Judge
and Browne were natives of the same
village and were born the same year and
during the same season of the year. They
were boys together and grew to man.
hood together. Judge knight was there
fore able to give incidents in Brownies
career and traits Of his character which
few living men would know about. This
Of course added to the interest of the
paper and, coupled as it was with the
judges happy style of handling his sub
ject. the paper was considered treat by
the members who heard it. Judge
knight spoke Interestingly about
Brownies famous lecture in London on
"The Mormons," which it was his good
fortune to hear.
A number of other members of the
club spoke upon the same subject, some
of them being able to give some entirely
new points as to Artemus Wards work
and career. Among those who spoke
were Messrs. ]. S. Slauson, Ben C. Tru-
man, c. D. Willard, w. A. Spalding and

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
Homr Earls Valuable Paper on "The
Uses of PoetrVn

Yesterdays meeting of the Friday
Morning club was in charge of the book
committee. To the customary large au
dience Mr.. Homer Earl read a valuable
thoughtful paper on "The Uses of
Poetry" in which he presented convic-
tions that were evidently the result of
sincere study and catholic reading.
Mr.. Earl said in part: 1T is hard to
convince anyone that lovers of poetry
are utilitarians, for nothing appears so
frivolous as poetry does to a large part
of the public. We find something mas
terful in the lad who enjoys a tussle with
Euclid, but are not so sure of the youth
who pours over the propositions of
Euripides.
This wrong attitude, perhaps, arises
from mistaken idea of what consti-
tutes poetry, which is usually presumed
to be merely pretty circumlocution
which might better be said in straight
English. Poetry is not circumlocution
however. 1t is the most direct and most
vivid of all speech.
"But the paramount virtue of poetry
is that it relates the actualities of life to
the ideals of humanity. In the greatest
poetry we find the noblest and wisest
application of ideas to life. Whereas
religion attaches its emotion to the fact,
or the supposed fact, poetry attaches it's
emotion to the idea; to the poet the idea
is the fact.
"The strongest part Of our religion to-
day Is it's unconscious poetry, says
Matthew Arnold and we will more and
more discover that we must turn to
~ootrxy for o1r, crctanonoa ar1. o,,r MN
ISOLATION, and much that now passes with
us for religion will be replaced by
poetry.
"Fluctuations Of understanding surge
in the individual as they do in the race,
and men are continually turning from
the facts to their desires and trying to
reconcile them and in this endeavor the
poet is the chief guide to humanity
There is no pessimism in the healthy ma
ture, but sometimes even the stoutest
hearted are crowded hard by a persist
ent sense of ineffeotuality. .
1.-THE better life is understood, the
more courage it takes to live it and the
greater the necessity for something to
sustain the effort. I feel the need of up
rightness about me- said Renan
and many another thoughtful man has
felt the same thing and something more.
L feel the need of enthusiasm about
me- voices widespread sentiment. We
learn some of the meanings of life as we
go along, but it is not given to all to be
inspired with love of life. 1t is given
to the poet, however. and from this
springs his power over men. For the
love of life is the one eternal possession
of mankind, and he who can inspire II
