New Field for Prize Fighters

A new field of activity has been
opened to prize fighters, and Young
Corbett' is the first of the profession
to utilize it. He was summoned to the
superior court at San Rafael recently
as an expert on the art of self-defense
to determine whether or not blow de-
livered in a manslaughter case could
properly be considered a foul
Young Corbett" now claims that, in
spite of Britts assertions to social
standing and his legal steps to prove
the same, he is the only fighter who
can fairl lay claim to professional
standing alongside of medical, legal
scientific and other experts recognized
by the courts.
Foul Expert" Rothwell is the Den
yer boys new title, and it was won at
San Rafael in the trial of Francis H
McGrath on the charge of killing Rob-
ert Taylor.
After an hours deliberation the jury
i'm the Marin county superior court
finally acquitted Francis ii. McGrath
of manslaughter. The prosecution en-
deavored to show that blow struck
in the abdomen was what fighters term
foul" and could be construed under
the law as taking unfair advantage of
an opponent. To refute this point the
defense summoned as an expert witness
w. II. Rothwell, professionally known
as young Corbett," the little cham
plon pugilist, who is now in training at
San Rafael.
Corbett testified that he would not
consider a blow in the abdomen a
foul unless 1t should strike as low as
the groin.

WARNS AGAINST DELAY
Or. Chapman breaches to Large Con-
ureuation at Temple Auditorium

DIR. Chapman preached strong SER
mon last night at the Temple audi
torium TO a large and enthusiastic au-
dience.
He spoke of the power of Christ in Il
sermon which was filled with examples
CLEANED from personal experiences with
men and warned men lest they fail to
head the call of God until it is too
late.
You may understand much about
Christ" said DR.. Chapman, but be
sure that you go farther than that.
The salvation which he has to offer is
great salvation because it gives us a
great savior. 1t is a great salvation
because it restores us to a great holi-
ness.
Whatever you may be without
Christ your influence would be multi
piled if you had him in your lives. 1t
is his completeness making up for your
incompleteness.
Preceding the meeting there was a
song service by the choir, led by
Charles Allen. Fred Butler sang the

Is broad enough to cover everything
and to embody all feeling.
y He. said that he considered senti-

siah, was not at all in accordance with
their expectation or preconceived'
views of what the Messiah should be"
said the speaker. His character and
teaching aroused all their pride and
prejudice. Great men and good causes
have ever been a subject of censorious
finding and criticism A too
ready criticism is unwise, for, as a
rule 1t reveals wrong condition of
the heart, in that we easily detect in
others the faults which we must be
most familiar with in ourselves.
Jesus was a man, perfectly hui
man, although unquestionably divine.
Even his enemies said, Never man
spake like this man. Pilot averred, L
find no fault in this man The Roman
centurion gave as his view. Truly
this man was the Son of God Yes,
he was man; hungry. weary tempt
ed, neglected, cast out and crucified
and yet he was the Son of God. Rich
as the richest. yet he became as poor
as the poorest on earth. The prince
of heaven, he nevertheless rode in tri-
1mph on a borrowed ass; went across
the sea in borrowed boat; instituted
the Lords Supper in borrowed cham
ber and was buried in borrowed sep
ulcher-al this that he might sympa-
thize and appeal to man.
Tempted in all points like as we
are, yet without sin, he behooved him
self to be made like unto his brothers,
that he might be faithful and merci-
ful-a high priest in things pertaining
to God, to make reconciliation for the
sins of the people, for wherein he suf-
fered, being tempted. he is able to
succor them that are tempted
"They said, This man receiveth sin
ners, and so we utter the wonderful
fact, He came to minister, not to be
ministered unto He does not stand
aloof from his fellows, and so he could
say Him that cometh to me l will in
no wise cast out Not only so, but
he stoops to the lowest"

SINNERS GREATEST DIFFICULTY
Or. Walton Tells of Mans Unwilling
ness to Accept Christ

Act on the light and more light is
given"
Work to be willing while God. is
willing"
These two rules given out by DR..
Walton last night in his sermon at the
Advance Buggy Company were the
keynotes of a masterful discourse,
The text was taken from John 6:29
Jesus answered and said unto them,
this is the work of God that ye be-
lieve on him who is sent ~
The speaker developed the points by
saying that a man who believes must
be willing to give up sin and to accept
Jesus Christ He said in part:
Men know the sinfulness of sin,
but few men know the real opposition
in their hearts to leading the life
which faith to your Christ requires.
The Judgment day will reveal moth
ing more clearly than mans unwill-
ingness to give up sin, and the real
difficulty of all difficulties in mans
life is that he does not want to accept
Christ
God never gives a man more light
than he is willing to use. He is not
willing that any should perish. He
gives sufficient light and salvation and
always gives light as fast as a man
will act upon it. 1t is not better feel
ing or knowing what one needs. but
better Willingness to take the next
step.
Work to believe while the Spirit
may help you to yield This is the
secret and this is the great plea for
acting in time of revival Seek we the
Lord while he may be found.
Absolute Willingness is required for
salvation This is the work of God
that ye be willing without unwilling
ness to accept Jesus Christ as Lord
and Master"

VENTURA ENTERPRISE
Proposed Acquisition of Water, Light
+ and Sewer Utilities

Special to The Herald.
VENTURA, Feb IA pretty we'd
ding occurred at the home of Mrs. r..
A.. Calls, corner Ash and Poll streets,
this afternoon at 1880 o'clock. The
contracting parties were Miss Rather
inc 1. Mullen of this city and Alfred
w. Hayward of Santa Barbara. Rev.
Alfred Inwood, pastor of the First
Methodist church of Santa Barbar,
officiated.
The house decorations were elabo-
rate and beautiful being of pink,
white, red and green. The couple stood
beneath huge white bell. The bride
was attired in a gown of white or
candle and carried a bouquet of white
carnations. Miss Edith Hallowell
played NIendelsshon's wedding march,
Miss Edna McMartin was bridesmaid
and Earl G. Hayward, brother of the
groom, acted as best man. Following
the ceremony a wedding breakfast was
served, after which Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayward left on the evening train for
their future home in Santa Barbar,
where Mr.. Hayward is engaged in the
furniture business
A special election has been called
for Saturday, April 22, 1905, for the
purpose of voting 100000 bonds for
the establishing Of a municipal water
plant, $4,000 bonds for an electric
light plant and $4,000 bonds for a
system of sewer for the disposition
of storm water. This has been a
matter of consideration for long
time, and test OF the water supply
was made last year with very favora-
BILE results. 1t is believed by many
that the vote will be almost unanl-
nous in favor of the proposition.
Considerable feeling has been mani
tested over a petition which will oe
presented to the board of supervisors
today, asking for license to sell Ii
quor at the Foothill hotel at Nordhoff.
All saloons in the county. outside of
incorporated towns, were closed over q
year ago and should the petition for
license be granted it is feared by the
temperance people that 1t will be but
stepping stone to many more in
vasions of the temperance ordinance.
The people of the ojai valley are par
ticulariy excited over the matter.
The Ventura base ball team has
arranged to go TO Los Angeles on
next Sunday to play the Hamburgers
of that place. A special train has been
secured and rate Of one half fare
for the round trip.
The rain which ceased Sunday night,
after a precipitation of 6.12 inches and
total for the season of 1913, Is said
to have been the best rain experienced
here for twelve years. Farmers and
stock men are rejoicing over the out
look for the coming season. Heavy
snow fell in the mountains and the riy-
ers and creeks are high.
