his work began to deteriOrate. 1 am not sure to

their work The society conducts the
prison work in Los Angeles and holds
regular services in both the city and

Recently they have extended the
scope of their work and leased a twen-

established home for discharged pris-
oners who have no place to go and
who desire chance to reform and get
honest work.
The judges of the various courts in
this section and other officials of the
city and county have indorsed the
work done by the women of the So

should aid them by allowing an appro-

ESCAPED PRISONER
FROM NORTH RECAPTURED
Was Serving Two Years Sentence for
Larceny When He Made His
"Get=AWay"

Norris Church, an escaped prisoner
was captured at the corner of Second
and Broadway by Officer Boyd last
ni,,ht and taken to the city prison,
where he will be held pending the ar
rival of an officer from the north.
About two weeks ago. Church, who
was acting as trusty in the county
Jail, was taken to San Francisco to
have his teeth attended to by dentist.
He was escorted by two officers, who
sat in the reception room while Church
was in the dentists chair. When the
dentists back was turned Church
sprang from the chair, ran out of the
office, down three flights of stairs and
made his escape. The officers who
were sent to guard Church while he
was in the dentists office were dis
charged and a search, established for
the missing prisoner.
Last evening three men, who said
that they knew Church, reported to the
police that they had seen him on
Broadway. Capt. Auble detailed officer
Boyd to find the man and in less than
ten minutes he was placed under ar
rest.
Church was serving a two-years SEN
tence for stealing guns and kodaks
from San Francisco stores. 1t was his
practice to go to these stores, order
goods sent to his house and then wait
for the arrival of the errand boys with
them. He would take the goods, refuse
to pay for them and make his escape

N0-SAL00N LAW WILL TEND
TO REDUCE REAL ESTATE
so SAYS PRESIDENT ERkEN-
BRECHER OF THE BOARD
Cites Experiences of Other Cities.
Looks for Depreciation of 25 Per
Cent-HaIf Million in Sales
Await Ordinances Defeat
PROFESSOR ABE-lSo

Having been asked many times what,
if any, effect the anti-saloon ordinance,
if carried, would have on real estate
values in the city of Los Angeles,
Byron Erkenbrecher, president of the
Los Angeles realty board, yesterday
lows
II have attempted to look at this i'm
portant matter in a cold, dispassionate
and businesslike manner and with all
possible consideration for the prohibit
tionists many of whom 1 can number
among my best friends. 1 will not at
tempt to apologize for the saloon, be-
lieving fully that the city would be
better off with smaller number, and
in some respects still better off with no
saloons 1 believe in the work being
done by Francis Murphy, who tries to-
and does, persuade many persons not to
take liquor in any form, but have, al
no time any recollection of ever hear
ing him say that you shall not drink
intoxicating liquors, but he does say,
| can you not do without it?'
Values Will Decrease
Coming to what is generally nearest
and dearest to our hearts (our pocket
books), and in the way of affecting real
estate values and business interests, l
believe that if the ordinance passes real
estate will depreciate fully 20 per cent
in value, and 1 also believe that the
business of the city will be considerably
injured.
my reason for this statement is that
Los Angeles has been spending for
many years thousands upon thousands
of dollars in telling the world not only
what a delightful place this is to live
in and what great advantages there are
for the investor, but also about the
freedom that is enjoyed by it's citizens
in being able to do about what they
please, so long as they obey the law,
and, incidentally, attend to their own
affairs, but when we advertise to the
world that personal liberties have been
restricted have grave fears that many
who would come here to live, invest
and enjoy our advertised freedom
would give us the go by
Realty Deals Are Held Up
"a further reason. AS president Of
the Los Angeles realty board, which
organization comprises about 100 of the
leading and most reputable agents in
the city, naturally 1 am in close touch
with real estate interests and, to my
knowledge, there are at least half a
million dollars of real estate deals that
are being held in allegiance until after
this election. If the ordinance carries
this money will not be invested as pro-
posed but will seek an outlet in other
localities.
Regulate the Saloon
II believe that saloons should be kept
under strict regulations. Women and
minors should. by all means, be kept
out of them, and should any ordinance
in regard to the sale of liquor be vio-
lated the saloon man, his agent or en-
ploye should be severely, impartially
and promptly punished therefor"

CIVIL SERVICE SCHEME
DECLARED A PUZZLE
SALARY ORDINANCES REFERRED
TO CITY ATTORNEY
Municipal Departments Trying to Get
In Line With Recent Rulings of
Civil Service Board Find Them
selves in Hopeless Tangle

After wrestling with the new salary
ordinances drawn for the engineer S
and electricians departments, the fl
nance committee of the council passed
the entire question up to the city at
torney yesterday.
President Thomas of the civil SER
vice commission and City Attorney
Mathews were present at the confer
ence and lengthy discussion was
held in an effort to get the various de-
partments in line with the recent rul-
ings of the civil service commission.
No agreement could be reached, how
ever, and the councimen found them
selves in the meshes of a hopeless
tangle, which the city attorney himself
admitted is beyond him. City At
torney Mathews said in discussing the
civil service scheme that it is a record
breaking Chinese puzzle"
AT the present time many men are
carried in the various departments on
requisition. These men always are ap-
pointed from lists furnished by the
civil service commission, but that
board has ruled that after June 1 they
will certify to no more requisition
men.
Work Will Stop
This makes it imperative to put the
extra men on under ordinance and also
to provide for a number sufficient to
cover all emergencies. City Engineer
Stafford says that unless the council
passes the ordinance providing for men
in his department over the mayors
veto OH Monday that all public work
will have to be stopped Immediately.
City Attorney Mathews has been
asked to pass upon the validity of the
two ordinances and render the finance
committee a report or opinion some
time before the council goes into ses-
sion on Monday. If in the opinion of
the legal department of the city the
ordinances as drawn and adopted once
by the council are legal it is considered
certain that the city's legislative body
will pass the measures over the veto
with the emergency clause attached

Conscious of Her Mission


II can say it as a strong conviction,
that the Japanese nation is now con-
scious of her own mission; that is,
to give the blessings of civilization to
Korea and China, just as you gave it
to her. What was tie real meaning
of the Chino-Japanese war? 1t was to
maintain the independence of Korea as
well as to lead her into civilization.
Why are we now fighting against Rus
sia? Indeed it is to protect our own
country from the aggression of the
Russian people, but we do not forget
our civilization into China. Above all,
Japan is better qualified than Russia,
nay, even than America, to transmit
civilization to China. 1t is needless
here to tell you that Japan and China
are of the same race and have allied
languages. They have, also, many
common points in philosophy and re-
ligion. While you and other people
are rather strangers to the Koreans
and Chinese, we may address them
with words of intimacy like these:
Well, my friends, 1 have suffered for
a long time on account of the old
fashioned way of thinking, but lately
have been entirely cured by taking a
draught of a new medicine called civ
ilization. 1 see you are suffering from
the same disease. Won't you take the
new medicine just as / did, 1 sup
pose they would listen to our words
with much confidence
iJaps Teach Chinese
"It is said that there are about 5000
Chinese students studying in Toxic
and vicinity. This is good evidence
that they are anxious to learn from
us. The fact that Japanese educators
are very much interested in the edu-
cation of the Chinese young men may
be seen from the special provision
made for them in several schools.
must emphasize the fact again in this
connection that territorial robbery is
not the object of the Russo Japanese
war. We are simply fighting to bring
Korea and China into the light of CIV
ilization.''
He further stated that Japan ex-
pected the cooperation of England and
America in support of the Japanese
Monroe doctrine, which laid down the
principle that neither Korea nor China
should ever be the warning ground of
strong nations.
