LARGE CROWD AT
MURPHY MEETING
Noted Temperance Apostle Delivers
Eloquent Address, Giving
Good, Sound Advice

The usual large and enthusiastic
audience filled Blanchard hall at the
regular Francis Murphy meeting last
night despite the inclemency of the
weather.
Attention was drawn by the speakers
to the printed statement attributed to
the Rev. Neander p. Cook, to the effect
that the church Is not hospital for
drunkards.
Mr.. Ecclestron declared that If the
churches are not hospital for drunk
ards, who wish reform, that he thanks
God that in Los Angeles there is One
such hospital. This statement brought
out round of applause, showing the
feeling of the congregation.
Mr. Murphy spoke few words, in
which he said that the strong should
help the weak to stem the current
which is pulling them down. He used
the parable of the good samaritan to
illustrate this and added some advice
in good hard, Irish common sense.
A large number signed the pledge
and declared their intention of keeping
to the straight and narrow path in the
future

DR.. TYNDALL ON
MESSAGE OF CENTURY
Noted Psychologist Delivers Lecture
Before Audience That Fills
Blanchard Hall

Over a thousand persons filled Blan-
chard hall yesterday afternoon. when
DR.. Alexander j. McIvor-Tyndall deliv-
cred a powerful discourse on psychic
science lines, taking for his subject
1.-THE Message of the Century" The
lecture was one of the best yet deliv-
cred here by the well known psychist
The speaker stated it as his belief that
the message of this century is the one
of "unity of purpose" He said in
part:
1.-The present century has unques-
tionably opened up with remarkable
changes in thought. Many of the old
ideas that were regarded as fixed for
all time are being overthrown. On
every hand is the conviction that this
century marks an epoch in world bet
terment. Amid all the changes that
are going on it seems to me that the
one more important than all the Others
(because it is the one that makes all
the others comprehensible) is the
change that we see i'm the attitude of
the materialist and the psychic toward
each other. 1t is just beginning to oc-
cur to each that they may be trying
to say the same thing. Whether this
world is completely and entirely one
of what the material scientist calls
ma tier or whether it is what the
mental scientist calls mind is of small
moment, considered merely as a ques-
ton for dispute. Whether there is a
personal God who sends sickness and
suffering upon his creatures in order
that they may be fitted for better
life after DEATH or whether this eX-
ternal world is the product of the i'm
mature mind, would not concern us
IL it were merely a subject for discus
sion. But the point is this; Both
schools of thought, as we may call
them, have come to the conclusion that
something must be done looking to a
less strenuous, less difficult and less
discordant life 1t does not take psy-
chic to perceive that man has become
a victim to the machinery he has set in
motion"
DIR. McIvor-Tyndall will speak next
Sunday afternoon at Blanchard hall
taking for his subject "The Hand
writing on the Wall" At the MeIvor-
Tyndall Institute of Psychic Science
1901 South Grand avenue, this after
noon and evening, and on Wednesday
and Friday afternoons and evenings

At the Burbank

Richard Walton Tulley, an Oakland
boy and a graduate of the University
of California, has his first play being
Burbank theater, and the reception
which greeted the maiden effort yes
terday promises brilliant future for
the playwright.
"Juanita of San Juan" found its in
spiration evidently in the story of "Ra-
field for it's material. The California
Mexicans about the time they were
being turned out of their homes, offer
dramatic opportunities which Tulley
seized with remarkable theatrical in
stinct for one who has only begun at
the art of play writing.
Ramona, or rather Juanita in this
case, instead of falling in love with a
poverty stricken, despised Indian,
finds it much more dramatic to fall
in love a la Juliet with a being hated
by her klth and kin-a Gringo, but a
heroic, melodramatic, William Des-
mond American, who realizes the the
atrical advantage of coming in at the
psychological moment and striking an
attitude.

a conventional melodrama worked
through it. Nothing presented for
many weeks at the Burbank has

serves great praise for his stage direc-
tion, in addition to credit due him for

Nearly all of the company are at

WEIRD TALE OF

BILL DRAWS GOOD CROWD

1.-THE King Of the opium Ring" which
the Ulrich stock company puts on at
the Grand this week, is one Of those
melodramas that keeps an audience on
the edge of its chairs. hysterical
throughout and yelling at the climaxes
(and there are more climaxes to the
square inch in this lurid tale of San
Francisco Chinatown than anything
shown here for good long time).
At one point when Old Ironsides
rushes on too late with the unnecessary
remark, IT thought I heard a ghi-irl
scream" one shrill female in the aud
fence, whose nerves had evidently been
strained to the breaking point by see"
ing the wicked "Chinks" make off with
the lovely heroine, warned him to the
pursuit by crying out, You bet you
did!" The strange thing about it was
that though the audience was grateful
for this diversion at a keen moment
Old Ironsides paid no attention what
ever.
The story is about a wicked man who
goes around with a crowd of disreput-
able Cinnamon always at his heels, be-
cause he is liking of the opium ring" >"
and neglects his own wife for another
who looks like her twin and who is just
as virtuous, apparently, in spite of her
little fiascos on the side. John Har-
rington Is the "king," and in a black
moustache succeeds in looking regal
and very wicked-in spite of the fact
that he forgets his lines. The part of
Wah Sing, the wicked Chinese high
binder. is taken by George L. Graves,
who looks also wicked enough to eat
nails, in spite of his immaculate Eng
lish; the racked audience hissed him
straight through the piece. Buhler
hardly gets a chance this week, though
he looks "just sweet" as some of the
girls remarked in policeman's uni
form. He marries the girl with the
colorful career in the end very nicely
and dutifully. Ethel Clifton, as this
breezy young person. was quite as con-
vincing as the part allowed.

stage to another balcony and into Old

Business Mems Petition

Since the receipt by the council of
the aforesaid message there has been
filed with that body a protest signed
by 900 representative business men of
Los Angeles, asking that no attitude
hostile to the street railway companies
be taken and that present conditions
remain unchanged. The business men
of the city ask the council to protect
the best interests of the city. These
same business men represent nine
tenths of the business done in the city
and they are capable of judging what
the best interests of the city are. de-
clare the councilmen.
I'VE will report adversely on the
mayors message" said one member of
the legislation committee Saturday.
I'VE can bow to the will of such petit
TONERS as are represented upon the
petition presented to us. 1t is self-ex-
planatory and sufficient to show what
the general feeling on this important
subject is.
THE mayor says these business men

know what they were signing. That in
my opinion is rather dangerous state
ment to make. If he has dealings with
them he will find that they know
what they put their names to before
they put them there. He can rest as
sured that every signature on that pc
titlon was put there after mature and
careful elaboration, and these same
business men know what they want" /"

1t is considered more than probable
that at some time during todays ses-
sion of the council the city's legisla-
tive body will answer Mayor Nc
Aleer's now famous message relative to
universal transfers and freight carrying
by street railway companies.
What the answer to that message will
be in detail is not yet known to anyone
outside the legislation committee, but
what it's purport will be no one doubts
who is familiar with the situation.
Mayor McAleer demanded of the
council that it enact such laws that
suburban lines and interurban lines
issue universal transfers If they run
on each others tracks for more than
five consecutive blocks. He also asked
for such legislation as to prohibit the
carrying of freight by street car COM
panies, as is their practice at the pres
ent time.
1t has been declared several times by
citizens and officials acting on author
ity that there are laws enough on the

the mayor could enforce these laws
and secure the end he desires, insofar
as it is possible by law to obtain it.
This has been the expressed opinion
of the council on this subject, acting
after careful deliberation. 1t is it's
judgment at the present time, and it
is up to the mayor to enforce the law
and not let the enforcement fall to the
council declare officials.
