Baptist Convention
The attendance at the Southern Cali
fornia Baptist convention has exceeded
all expectations, there being neIrlv 500
delegates and visitors in the city in
attendance at the meeting, which is
proving to be the best convention ever
held by the Baptists of this part of the
state. This mornings session was de-
voted to the reports of the convention
treasurer and board of directors, and a
discussion of these reports
The directors report shows chat
general advance is to be made all along
the line by the denomination in This
part of the state for the coming year,
The "call of the hour" is considered to
be the establishment of a Baptist
church in every hamlet and town in
Southern California and every energy
will be bent in that direction the COM
ing year by putting more workers in
the field. An effort is to be made to
secure d. Z. Ward, the publication
society representative in the southwest,
for Southern California to work in the
establishment of new Sunday schools.
The committee on education submit
ted a recommendation that the Baptists
of Southern California in the coming
year raise 100000 for the paying off of
the $32 900 mortgage on the site now oc-
cupied by the Los Angeles Military
academy in Los Angeles, using the
balance for the establishment Of q
tirst-class Baptist college ror Southern
California. This recommendation will
be made a special order of th.a conven-
ton tomorrow and it is believed will
be adopted. This site was purchased by
the convention in 1886, bat has been
mortgaged heavily, but the property
is now much more vaYaDIe than for
merly.
This evening an interesting feature
of the convention was the submission
of threeminute reports from the sew
eral churches in Southern California by
the pastors as to what had been ac-
complished in the year just past
Hospital Managers Meet
The board of managers of the South
ern California state hospital met this
evening in regular session and accepted
the new administration and the new
cottage for female patients which have

do much toward relieving the crowded
condition of the institution. Work has
been commenced on the new east wing,

by the last legislature
Rebuilding Power Plant
Plans are being rushed for the re-
building of the electric power plaat
destroyed in this city Monday night,
the property of the Pacific Light and
Power company. 1t has been found
that the engines and boilers were not
seriously damaged by the fire and an
be put in shape for use. Rush orders
have been placed for machinery and 1t
is expected to have steam plant ready
for operation in about ten days. More
time will be taken for the rebuilding
of the water plant, which will be made
more extensive than the old plant.
Welded but three months, Mrs. Ma
rion Dodson of Cotton is now seeking
a divorce from her husband. The wife
charges her husband with brutality
of the worst sort and insists that when
her story is told at the trial she will
be justified in the eyes of the public
in leaving her home and returning to
her parents.
Mrs. Allen Mason was arrested in
this city and taken to Los Angeles to-
day by an officer from that city on a
charge of grand larceny, charge that
is made against her by her husband,
who was also a former resident of this
city. People here who know Mrs. Ma
son are slow to believe that she is
guilty of the charge
