WOULD CONDUCT SUNDAY
SCHOOL ON BUSINESS BASIS
PASTOR URGES ADVANCED METH
obs FOR NEW WORK
Rev. Albert w. Palmer Asserts That
Practical Ideas Must Prevail in the
Church's Most Valuable Auxiliary
If Success Is to Be Attained

How is the Sunday school meeting
the responsibility for religious educa-
ton and the opportunity to act as an
evangelizing force?" was the leading
question discussed by Rev. Albert w
Palmer of Redlands last evening or
the topic of "The Church and the
Sunday School," at the First Congre-
gational church.
1.-THE Sunday school," said the speak
err, Stands before the church today as
a. responsibility and an opportunity. 1t
is responsibility because in this
country religious education Is not pro-
vided by the state, but is handed over
to the church. 1t is an opportunity y
because through the Sunday school the
church can lay in childhood the foun-
dattons for future Christian living and
also, in many cases, reach the parents
who would never come to church, but
will send their children to Sunday
school.
with all appreciation of the noble
and heroic service going into our Sun
day school, two criticisms need to be
made.
1.-THE first is that our Sunday schools
are weak on their intellectual side.
boy graduating from high school knows
a good deal about some one of Snake
speare's plays, but he has never studied
a book of the Bible in the same tnten-
siye fashion. He knows the geography
of Scotland, but not that Of Palestine;
the history of British rule in India,
but not the history Of the Chistian
church.
1.-The Sunday school is not meeting Its
educational responsibility as effec-
lively as the public schools are meet
ing theirs
day school Is not grasping its oppor-
tunity as an evangelizing agency, be-
cause 1t fails to hold it's young people
at the critical and spiritually sensitive
period of adolescence. The public
school system recognizes this period by
it's change from grammar to the high
school. The high school meets the
needs of adolescents and therefore
commands their enthusiasm. The trag-
edy of the Sunday school Is that 1t
breaks down at this precise period
which is so we'll handled by the public
schools.
How shall the Sunday school meet
its responsibility and grasp its oppor-
tunities? Our Sunday school advance
would seem to lie along four parallel
lines:
Better training for teachers through
normal bible classes and reference
libraries.
Better organization, by making a
distinct division between grammar and
high school grades.
"Better equipment, by providing sep
arate class rooms and department
rooms.
"An investment by the church of
more money in the Sunday school.
"The secret of the success of our
public schools Is that we are willing
to tax ourselves to support them. Sun
day school success will, In part, come
only in the same way"

WOUNDED GIRL
NEAR To DEATH
WOULD-BE SUICIDE WANTS
TO LIVE
Miss Grace Palmer, Who Shot Herself
Saturday Night, Regrets Rash
Deed and Hopes She
May Recover

Miss Grace Palmer. who attempted
suicide last Saturday night by shoot
ing herself with a revolver, Is hover
ing between life and death at the re-
ceiving hospital. The bullet, which en-
tered the left side of the breast, pene-
trated her left lung, and taking a
downward course came out immedi-
ately near the spine. Her condition is
critical and 1t is not expected that
she will survive the day. Her rela-
tives live in Stockton and yesterday
her mother was apprised of Miss
Palmer's suicidal attempt, but it is not
believed she can reach the hospital be-
fore the girl dies.
Miss Palmer claims there is no love
affair behind her attempt to take her
own life. However, the police and
surgeons do not credit the story for
several reasons. Yesterday afternoon
girl friends and also very well
dressed young man whose identity the
police refuse to divulge. His conVersa-
tion with the girl lasted but very
few moments and was strictly private.
Regrets Her Rash Act
Miss Palmer has lived in this city
for a number of years, having come
here from her home in Stockton. She
was employed as a barber in ladies'
barber shop. She lived at COS East
Fifth street
Saturday night she attended a party,
at which were gathered a number of
her most intimate friends. She Is said
to have been in the best of spirits
all evening and also at the time when
she returned home. She says that
when she came home she felt that she
was tired of life and decided at once
to end it. Subsequently she entered
the room of another roomer at the
house and stole a revolver from there
attempted to shoot herself. When seen
yesterday at the receiving hospital by
her friends she expressed herself as
remorseful over her rashness and hoped
that she would not die. Her mother is
expected to arrive this morning.

CITY ATTORNEY
IS POWERLESS
CANNOT AID SOUTH PARK
RESIDENTS
Judiciary Department Is Blamed for
Tense Situation, Although II Is
Without Voice In Adjust
nent Of Trouble

There is humorous side to the South
Park avenue proposition that the resi-
dents of that district may not be able
to see, and that is the fact that the
Judiciary department of the city gov
ernment Is the one that Is called upon
to bear nearly all the brunt of the ami
mostly that has been engendered by
the recent tearing up of the street rail-
way tracks.
The agitators who want the service
renewed admit that the city council Is
willing to do anything to accommodate
them. They will reluctantly admit that
the mayor may believe he performed a
duty when he tore up the tracks and
refused to consent to a renewal Of the
service.
But one and all join hands and hurl
fiery anathemas when the city attor-
ney's department is mentioned, and
especially the name of Assistant City
Attorney Goudge. And yet the citys
legal department is the only depart
ment directly interested that absolutely
has no voice in control Of the situation.
1t is within the province of the city
council to jeopardize the city's interests
in the pending injunction suit and ar
range stipulation with the Los An
geles Railway company whereby the
cars could be operated within an hour
afterward, If the council considers the
rights of the residents Of the South
Park avenue district paramount to the
Importance of the injunction suit.
1t is within the province of the mayor
to look the other way while the tracks
are relaid and the cars operated, and 1t
Is certain that the council would not
again order him to tear them up.
City Attorney Powerless
But it is within the province Of the
city attorney to do absolutely moth
ing but point out the legal phases of
the proposition, and this the city attor-
ney has done.
He has stated that any concession by
the city whereby the cars would again
be operated over the line would jeop-
ardize the interests of the city in the
pending suit.
He has also stated that no concession
the city could make would have any
bearing whatever on suit brought for
the forfeiture of the entire franchise.
These two statements embrace the
gist of what has come from the city
attorney and his assistant, Mr.. Goudge,
and are the main issues at stake.
Attorney Goudge has been scored at
every turn, both by members of the
council and the South Park avenue vic
tins Of the franchise quarrel, because
he has been the one who has appeared
when the city attorney has been de-
manded.
At the meeting of South Park avenue
residents Saturday evening 1t was
stated that an effort would be made at
todays meeting of the council to have
City Attorney Mathews appear and
answer these questions in person.
Mr.. Goudge has stated emphatically
that he has taken no action and made
no statements without consultation with
his superior, and 1t is a known fact
that the city attorney and his first as
sistant have been closeted long after
the other offices in the city hall have
closed for the night, in consultation re-
garding this proposition.

STATE INSURANCE COMPANY
Project Proposed by State Bank
Examiner Henderson of
Wyoming
Special to The Herald.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 22-State
Examiner H. B. Henderson, who form
uiated the state bank inspection sys-
tenn of Wyoming, after which other
states are copying, in his report to the
governor, makes the novel and some
what startling suggestion that the state
OF Wyoming undertake the launching
or a state insurance company. Bank
Examiner Henderson asserts that 1t
will be a solution of the great insur-
ance problem so vividly brought before
the people by the recent scandals. He
states that during the past seven years
wyoming people have paid out to for
eign corporations on fire and life in
surance premiums $3,319O00, while dur
ing the same period the losses in Wy
oming paid by the companies amount
ed to only S9S0,500. That is, with the
organization of a state company, the
sum of $2,33S,500 would have remained
in wyoming which was sent out of the
state. :

sAYc MAID COPIES MISTRESS
Rev. Frank Dewitt TaImage Points
Out Duties Of Employer
and Servant

"The Relation of Wives, Mothers
and Housekeepers to Their Servants"
was the topic of Rev. Frank Dewitt
Talmage yesterday morning at the
First Presbyterian church. Rev. MI,
Talmage took for his text Psalm
cxxiii:2: "As the eyes Of a maiden
unto the hand of her mistress" He
said in part
1--WE would try to show that the ar-
tagonsms and difficulties and es-
arrangements existing between the par
lor and the kitchen are due to faults
upon both sides. 1t is easy enough
for the complaining housewife to de-
velop such keenness of censorious
vision that she can see innumerable
imperfections in her servants life. But
when plucking the notes from out her
humble sisters eyes 1t is not always
easy for the mistress to perceive the
beam, the huge destructive beam, pro-
jecting from under her own overarch.
ing eyebrows
"That the housekeeper as we'll as the
servant can be negligent in her duty
there is no doubt. The psalmist, as a
spiritual diagnostician of the heart 8
weaknesses, asserts it. He f1gurative-
ly seems to place the mistress as
prototype before her domestics Then.
as a young artist crosses the seas to
study at the feet of old masters, and
RaphaePs "Sistine Madonna" the
psalmist raises the mistress upon a pc
destal as model for her servants.
Day in and day out the actions of the
parlor are being duplicated in the
kitchen. Adam Clark, the great COM
mentator, interprets these words of
my text in the following way: AS
servants look to their masters and mis-
tresses to see how they do their work,
that they may do it in the same way,
so may we correct some of the evils
found in the kitchen by exposing the
evils practical in the parlor. If the
head of house wishes her servants to
be faithful and true to her, then she
must first set an example of faithful
ness. She must be true and kind, and
loving and Christianlike to her servants,
and to all the people with whom she
comes in contact in her domestic walk
of daily life"

THIEVES ARE FAMISHED
Marauders Steal Ducks and Cook one
Within Stones Throw
of Coon

Chicken thieves visited the coops of
C. Viotto, an Italian living at AL
Colyton street, early yesterday morning
and after doing considerable damage
to the several coops in the yard secured
eight ducks and one chicken. The
thieves were evidently hungry, as at
point not fifty yards from the house the
feathers of one of the fowls were found
scattered on the ground, and nearby a
fire had been built and the charred re-
mains of the feet of a duck were found.
OF the many robberies that have been
reported within the past several months
this is the first case of chicken thieves
work that has come under the investi-
cation of the police.

CARRY MILLIONS
THROUGH STREETS
COIN AND SECURITIES ARE
TRANSFERRED
Final Chapter In Consolidation OF Los
AnqeIes National and First Ma
tlonal Banks Is Now
Complete

Millions of dollars in money and Sc
curities was tremendously hauled down
Spring street yesterday morning be-
tween and 10 o'clock in full view OF
the usual crowds on the streets at
that hour.
Few of those who noted the process
sion of trucks under guard of four
policemen and sergeant and several pri-
vate detectives in civilian garb real
lied that the trucks contained sufticient
to make several millionaires, could
they be acquired.
IT was the final chapter in the con-
solidation of the Los Angeles Ma
tional bank with the First National
bank, and the trucks contained the
coin from the former bank, with val
liable papers and securities.
One truck was loaded with about a
score of iron bound chests. The others
were filled with boxes of books and
papers. On one truck there was about
81 900, 900 in coin stored in the treasure
chests. On the other trucks were val
liable papers representing about $4,000
900 more.
The trucks were driven to the en-
trance of the First National bank on
Second street, and under the supervi-
sion of the policemen, the bank ofhcials
and the private detectives, were UNI
loaded and the treasure chests carried
into the vaults of the First National.
Guard Treasure
President Patterson of the Los An
geles National bank made careful prep
arations for the transfer of the bank
valuables to their new quarters. The
coin was carefully weighed and counted
and placed in bags, which were AFTER
ward placed in the treasure chests. a
force of private detectives were ell
gagged to quietly watch both the vaults
and the drays when the moving should
occur, so that any suspicious actions
of persons on the streets might be
carefully noted.
The force of porters engaged for the
purpose carried the heavy chests from
the vaults of the Los Angeles bank to
the waiting trucks at about O'Clock
Each chest required the full strength
of two men to move 1t from the vault
and place it on the truck.
The boxes of valuable papers were
then removed by the porters and placed
on the trucks, and under guard of the
policemen, detectives and bank officials
the whole was removed to the First
National bank.
AS soon as the trucks had driven t.
the doors of the First National bank
the porters removed the treasure boxes
and the valuable papers from them and
carried them into the vault. Here a
force of men was in readiness to re-
ceive them.
The boxes were unlocked by the Off
cials and the work of weighing and
counting all moneys was begun. AL
though the specie and currency had
been counted and checked up before
it left the vaults of the Los Angeles
bank, it was necessary that the First
Nationals officials verify the count and
officially accept 1t, that no possible er-
ror could creep in.

Weighing Coin

Three Weighers received the bags OF
coin as they were removed from the
chests and placed them on the scales.
The weight of each bag was verified
and noted before it was placed in its
compartment of the vault. Where 1t
was necessary. the coin was counted
before being put away.
The boxes of valuable papers were
also opened and each bundle checked
off as 1t was put aside. By noon the
workers in the vault had checked up
the hundreds of thousands of coin that
was placed in the vault.
Another force of workers took charge
of the valuable papers and also sys-
tematically checked them. AS these
documents are of a varied character
and relate to many transactions in the
last twenty-five years, the work of
checking them up was not completed
before midnight.
Had the work of preparing for the
removal from one banking building to
another not been very carefully planned
and provided for before the actual work
of removal began, it could not have
been accomplished in a tithe of the
time actually required. AS 1t was,
everything was removed to the new
banking quarters with perfect safety
and without difficulty or embarrass-
ment
Beginning this morning, all the Off
cials of the Los Angeles National bank
will assume their new duties at the
offices of the First National bank, and
the business of the bank will be car
ried on as If nothing had occurred to
change in any way the ordinary course
of affairs.
Equitable Bank Moves
A force of carpenters, electricians and
porters was busily engaged all day
yesterday in removing the effects OF
the Equitab BILE Savings bank from the
former quarters at First and Broadway
to the new quarters in the Los An
geles bank building, where they will
open for business this morning.
AS soon as the valuables of the Los
Angeles bank had been removed from
the vaults, the combinations on the
vaults were changed and the money
of the Equitable was placed in them.
1t was taken from the old Equitable
quarters IN several treasure chests.
under a guard of the officials of the
bank.
A large metal chest of collateral
papers was wheeled over to Spring
streets on it's own wheels. Several
truck loads of books and banking ma
terials were taken over in the after
noon. The officials of the Equitable
were busily engaged until near mid
night in arranging everything for to-
days business.
BY the hour for the opening of the
doors of the First National and the
Equitable today. everything will have
been put in order and the work of
moving will have been successfully
completed.
Thus q great change in the Los An
geles banking world has been finally
completed without accident, loss or in
terruption of business, and the OFF,
cials of the various banks congratulate
themselves on such successful con-
clusion of labors that have imposed
upon them hard and unremitting work
for many weeks.
