E. A. Surge, NJ. D., Gives an
Interesting Account of
Japan's Big Recruiting

That a handsome church can be
built in Los Angeles for far less money
than in San Francisco was told the
Christian Church Ministers Associa-
tion yesterday by the Rev. DR.. A. C.
Smithers of the southern metropolis.
DIR. Smithers was telling of the erec-
tion of church for the religious body
to which he ministers and said it would
be one of imposing dimensions and
architectural beauty and the cost viii
not exceed $4,000
Brethren" said the pastor, you
could not duplicate the building in
San Francisco for anything like the
money and the reason is that in Los
Angeles we are not overriddeh by labor
unions. There we enjoy American lib
erty."
The association resolved itself into
an executive committee and heard re-
ports on the preparations for the COM
ing convention Of the Christian church.
The Rev. z. c. Macfarlane presided

day of social. spiritual and military
conditions in Japan. He told OF the
humane characteristics of the Japan
ese, citing as instances their admirable
and liberal conduct of hospitals and In
stitutions for the blind and the deaf
and dumb and the completeness of the
Red Cross department Of their army.
According TO Dr.-Sturge, the Japan
erer~ Q1fh
When he was in Toxic some months
ago no less than 100000 men were
ready to enlist and they were coming
all the time TO offer their services.
Because of the death Of his child the
Rev. F. A. Keast did not preside at
the Methodist Ministers Association
yesterday. his place being filed by the

reaved collea que A similar step was
taken in the case of Mrs. Nelson j.
Bird, expressing sorrow for the loss or
her husband, DR.. Bird.
After hearing an address from DR..
Matthew on "Evangelization," the
ministers went in a body to inspect
and take luncheon at the Triangle
Tavern, which has been inaugurated
by the Y. NJ. c. A.

Barkentine Safe
in MaZatlan
Harbor.
Loses Man Over
board in Puget
Sound.

The barzentine Makawen. which
some supposed lost on the shores Of
Vancouver Island and for the safety
of which all interested in vessel or crew
experienced grave anxiety. arrived yes
terday al Mazatlan. She reached the
Mexican port with spars and sails in
tact and her cargo Of coal in good con-
clifton. The only mishap Of the vOy-
age was the death by drowning Of Neils
Olson, who fell overheard while the
vessel was skirting the Vancouver Isl
and coast. II was the finding Of the
life preserver thrown 10 Olson that
added force 10 the rumor Of the YES
sels destruction.

of Vancouver Island are somewhat Civ
en- 70 enlarging upon their own cOnclu-
SiOns IN the reports sent out 10 the
world Of their discoveries. BY the time
the tale Of the finding Of the Maka-
wells life preserver reached the Mer-
chants Exchange al this port, il was a
full grown story in which the life pre-
server was a mere incident Wreck
age had been found. said the report,
part Of the Makaweli's rail had been
picked up and the remnants Of her
deckhouses and parts Of her hull were
lttering the beach. The shore OF Van
couver Island was strewn with SOU
Nenirs Of the MakaWeli including. so
the report read. the cargo Of lumber
with which the fine. new barkentine
was loaded. II was this reference 70
lumber that modified the effect Of the
report, as the Mskaweli was carrying
coal.

dence IN the safety OF their vessel from
me nrst and the underwriters. after
analyzing the report found in il little TO
worry them To the friends and reIa-
tFes of the captain and his wife. and
of the officers and crew. the report
caused considerable worry and the an
