MRS. DAVID BISPHAM
WRITES LIFE ROMANCE

Special to The Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20. - Mrs.
David Bispham is writing a novel. 1t
is to be called 1.-THE Singers Wife,"
and it is presumed that the plot will be
more or less founded upon the story of
Mrs. Bispham's own romantic life.
Both Mrs. Bispham and her husband,
the opera singer, who tried unsuccess-
fully to divorce her in London three
years ago. are now in this city. The
three children are with Mrs. Bispham,
and it was for the purpose of erecting
legal barriers around them, as well as
to effect financial settlement with
Mr.. Bispham, that the wife came to
this country from England.
Her friends have discovered that, in
addition to being a talented musician.
she has marked ability as an artist
Her son was i'll with scarlet fever last
winter, and while she was caring for
him she amused him by making bas
reliefs out of the medicinal plaster that
the doctor had brought.
She made a portrait of her second
daughter. Leonie, II years old, which
is considered an excellent likeness.

PURITY COMMITTEES
VIEWS ON CRIB RAIDS

LONG BEACH, Sept, 20, 1so5-Editor
Herald. The Los Angeles papers a few
days ago contained an account of
raid upon an immoral house and the
arrest of a number of inmates. AS
am chairman of the Purity committee
of the Los Angeles Ministerial union
brief comment upon this incident would
not be impertinent
The social problem is hard one to
solve. But of all attempts to solve 1t
know of none so inexpressibly cow
ardly as this practice of arresting the
pitiable victims of this curse and tax
ing their tortured bodies and ruined
souls. This practice is followed upon
the supposition that these women are
the original offenders and that men are
their victims. But 1t does not need to
be demonstrated over again in Los An
geles that many of these women are
the helpless victims of a traffic that Is
maintained by the lust and avarice of
men.
How carefully this raid must have
been planned to avoid capturing any
of the male patrons of this house of
sin Where are the American gentle
men for whose entertainment these
ruined girls are subject to slow murder
by continuous outrage? Who owns the
house where these girls were arrested?
Is he net law breaker as we'll as they?
What has come over the police that
they cannot catch men? What ordi-
nance has Los Angeles that Is inope-
rative below First street?
Los Angeles has declined terribly in
moral stamina since the day when she
put the brand of the Jail upon the
wealthy and powerful owners of the
cribs.
To capture a wagon load of helpless
and friendless girls is an exploit that is
nauseating in it's unmanly oowardice.
Where are they to get the money to
pay this fine and the next? What is to
be done with this price of blood?
Not even Chief Elton presumed to put
Luch dirty money into the city's treas
ury. At least he spared the city the
humiliation of being in partnership with
the macquerreaux. Chief Elton was
forced to retire and the administration
that protected the cribs was hurled
from power. Is the reform administra-
ton going to run these houses on
shal les?
1t is high time the Christian con-
science of Los Angeles was heard from
on this subject once more.

First Statue of Alexandra

The first public statue of Queen Alex
andra Has just been commissioned.
George E. Wade. the we'll known sculp-
tor, has been chosen to do the work.
The destination of the statue is Hong
kong which has already given commits
sions for statues of King Edward and
the prince of Wales. The new statue
is being erected out of fund raised in
connection with the Hongkong corona
tion celebration. The queen will be rep
resented in her coronation robes. The
statue will be of bronze, and life size,
and the pedestal will be either of gran
lite or marble. The king, to whom the
proposal was submitted through the
governor of Hongkong, readily gave his
permission. His majesty also approved
the suggestion that the statue should
be made by Mr.. Wade.-London Ex-

ANOTHER CANAL RAINBOW

The assurance that the Panama canal might be COM
pleted in five years would be more pleasing If it
emanated from other source than Bunau Varila That
person of the engineers employed on the canal
project by the French company He also figured prom
inently in the negotiation whereby the United States
became sponsor for the republic of Panama acquiring
the canal zone feature Of the bargain
But the French engineers assurance agrees nearly
with opinions expressed by some American experts
Prior the springng of the sealeve scheme the est
mate of time for constructing lock canal made by
American engineers, eight years. It was
admitted also that by pushing the work to the extreme
limit year or two might be cut from the estimate
The views expressed few days ago by President
Roosevelt as heretofore noted in The Herald. evince
a determination his part to take the shortest cut
possible in reaching the completion of the work In
his remarks to the canal officials whom he summoned
to his Long Island home he intimated belief that the
idea broached by the French engineers is practi
cable That ia to say the canal might be constructed
with locks on plan allowing of the earliest possible
completion of the work, but in such manner that the
seaevel scheme might be worked out afterward with
out seriously impeding navigation
of the facts thus noted the prospect brghtens
again for consummation Of the canal project before
we pass far beyond the present decade

PASSING OF BIG RANCHES

The few big ranches that thus far have escaped
division may be called the connecting links between
the present and the past in the history of Southern
California. generation ago most of the available
land in this section comprised in cattle ranges
many square miles in extent. One after another the
ranches been divided into comparatively small
farms, and the rest doomed to a like fate. The
great Chino ranch which sold this week, is
ample of the passing of such of landed prop
erty.
The big ranches have been serious drawback to the
development of Southern California and hndrance
they will be in evidence until the passing of the last
If all of them still remaining cut up into
Small farms today and offered to homeseekers there
would be greater rush Of buyers and rapid in
of rural population But the boundaries of those
ranches have been effective in obstrucng develop
ment if they impossible walls.
The Chino ranch, for example, would make ATS farms
of eighty each Orange groves average about ten
acres and hence the big ranch would equal in $500
such groves. Counting five persons the average of
family, it will be that the 3S 900 constitu
ing the Chino ranch, if divided into small holdings
would be capable of supporting many thousands of
people.
The land comprising the big ranches is becoming
valuable that they passing rapidly and
will be gone entirely their stead will be thousands
of small farms, titled by happy and thrifty dweers in
this blessed land of sunshine.
