ANTI-CREMATORY
FIGHT CONTINUES
C0MMlTTEMEN MAY FILE SUIT
AGAINST COMPANY
Pico Heights Citizens Engaged in Cir
culsting Petitions for Initiative
and erendum-Assoclsti
Membership Grows

Tt the meeting of the Antl-Crematory
association held in the hall at Pico and
lei Molino streets last night, G.. l..
Mccain, = Darrow and S. =. Rhoades,
prominent citizens i'm Pico Heights,
were appointed as a committee to in
vestigate the legal points involved in
the present fight against building a
crematory at the corner of Sixteenth
and Grover streets.
The committee will confer with At
torneys M. X. Young and L. M. Fall
who have volunteered their services,
and IL they can agree on a manner of
procedure will file a suit against the
crematory company. There is now suf-
ficlent money in the treasury of the
association and more is being turned
over to the committee on finance every
day.
Owners of property valued at $t,000,-
600 and upward are interested in the
fight and all are giving to a purse for
the purpose of fighting the enterprise
Feeling In Pico Heights is more in
tense now than it has been since the
association was organized to fight the
crematory Interest centers In a search
for practical method to prevent the
work on the enterprise from proceed
ing until the initiative and referendum
petition, which is being circulated,
shall have been signed by 1850 regis
tered voters.
The association declared itself in
favor of an amalgamation of the sew
eral improvement associations in the
city. 1t will be their intention to join
them all together, and in that way
they hope to be able to help each
other.
Volunteers Circulate Petitions
The committee which is circulating
the initiative and referendum petition
reported that they have number of
the petitions out in the hands of solic-
itors who are trying to get the required
number of signatures. Every member
of the association who is a qualified
voter took a copy of the petition and
volunteered to get enough signatures
to fill it,
The membership of the Anti-Cre-
matory association is already large,
and many indignant citizens have at
tended every meeting, but q special
committee of ten people was appoint
ed last night to urge people living in
the neighborhood to join the associ-
alton. Seven of the persons appointed
on the committee are women, and they
were appointed because, as was stated
at the meeting, they do better work
than the men. Those on the committee
are Mrs Rhoades, Mrs. Naugle, Mrs.
Mengle, Mrs. Hasfurther, Mrs. Das-
chek, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Clark and
Messrs. Wilson, Haschel and Darrow.
The meeting last night was attended
by large number of persons who were
not present at any of the former meet
ings. Many of the new members stated
that they knew still other citizens who
had declared their intention of joining
in the fight, and as the territory an
tagonistic to the crematory represents
a population of almost $4,000 people, it
is thought by the present leaders that
it will soon become necessary to find
a new place to hold their meetings.

ARMIES MAY CLASH AGAIY
Japanese May Attack the Russians ut
Sipinghai.

St Petersburg, March 30.-2:50 d. m.
Another duel between the opposing
armies in Manchuria may be on the
programme for the coming week. The
Russians, according to the Associated
Press Harbin correspondent are now
strongly fortifying their positions Ut
Sipinghai, against which the Japanese
are reported to be gathering in force.
A border of twenty miles of debatable
ground still remains between the two
armies, over which the Japanese prob
ably will not advance until they are
ready to attack
Equally important news is that col
umn of japanese is moving against
Kirin, perhaps with the intention OF
turning the position eastward and
striking Vladivostok line of communl-
cation with the double purpose Of iso-
lating the fortress and separating Gen
eral Linevitch's army from valuable
base of supplies, the Ussuri district.

There has been no fighting Of impor-
tance latterly. Reconnaissance estab-
lish the fact thar the Japanese are
gathering in heavy force twenty miles
south of Sipinghai. evidently intending
to attack the Russian position at Sip

to make stand. The country between

The Japanese are approaching Kirin,
threatening communication in the Us

The number of Chinese bandits is
constantly augmenting.
Chinese continue to report that Fielil
Marshal Oyama has issued proclama-
tions fixing the late for the occupation
of Hardin as April 10, but this pre-
diction, if actual, is apparently improo-

that it's operations cover only small

the scheme was devised, it was le-
cognized that the illegitimacy of the
transactions it had in view made if
probable that some one of the con.
Germs might take French leave with
most Of the profits. A written agree

signed ~ all. The possibility that
any one of the companies might bl

Next Step.
And Their Chairman Says tl,e Matter

Says Acceptance OF the Gift In
wolves no Expression as to the Char
acter OF the Givcrs-Protestants. it
Is Declared. Have Other Ways OF
Making Their Views Known.

Boston, March 29.-The American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions announced today that its pri-
dental committee had accepted a re-
port of the subcommittee, recommend
ing the acceptance of the gift OF $780,
900 by John d. Rockefeller but tnat
final action on the matter had been
postponed for two weeks. The report
of The subcommittee, in the Language
of statement issued by the board to-
day was received and accepted as
expressing the unanimous Judgment
of the Prudential Committee and the
executive officers" and was to the ef-
feet that the committee could not ac-
cede to the protest of those who OBJ
jected to the acceptance of the gift.
The report also stated that the gift
was offered by MIR. Rockefeller ami
unanimously accepted by the PrudeI-
tial Committee on February 14th last
1t says that in accepting the gift the
committee followed the universal Gus
tom of the church in the past I'm re-
ceiving upon its affairs the gifts of all
who were moved to lay them thereon.
The report holds that the acceptance
of gift involves mo expression on
the part of the committee as to the
character of the givers and to inter-
cept gift made to others in order to
express an opinion seems unwarrant-
able"
The reason for deferring final action
is given as follows:
''Inasmuch as the protestants have
requested delay, the committee will
hold final action in abeyance for two
weeks"
Summing up the arguments OF the
different protestants the report says
they practically declare that the donor
Of this gift is believed to be identified
In a conspicuous way with great evil
in this country and that therefore the
board should refuse the gift in a con-
spicuous way, thus striking a blow at
the evil. 1--WE fell," says the report on
this point, that the protestants have
other ways of making their views
known and that the blow should no:
be struck at the expense OF the people
in the non Christian world"
Rev. Mr.. Evans, chairman Of the pre-
testing committee said today:
"A meeting of the committee has
been called for tomorrow to discuss
the report and to decide upon the mex.
step. The protestants are growing In
number throughout the country, both

church. More and more representative
men are coming over to our side. The
