MONEY FOR CARRIE NATION
Kansas Saloon smasher Believed to
Be Heiress to Big
Fortune
IN Associated Press.

WICHITA, Kas., Oct. 1.-Joseph w.
Phoenix of Hamilton, Ont, is anxious
to learn the whereabouts of Carrie Ma
tion, and offers a reward for informa-
ton that will tend to show that she was
once a resident of London, Ont. 1t is
suspected that the Kansas smasher has
fallen heir to a big fortune, and it may
be possible that she may yet become
famous in other ways than smashing
bottles, mirrors and glasses.
Mr.. Phoenix wrote Mayor Ross as fol-
lows:
Mayor of Wichita, Kas.:
Dear Sir: Kindly inform me what
Carrie Nations maiden name was be-
fore she was married in the first place
and whom she married first? Was he
a doctor? Also please tell her present
address. and if she was originally from
London Canada. If Carrie is the per-
son we suppose she is you shall be well
paid for your trouble.
JOSEPH w. PHOENIX.
1t is believed that Carrie Nation once
lived in Canada, but no one has yet
been seen here who was able to answer
the question of Mr.. Phoenix. 1t Is
hardly probable that Carrie committed
any overt act prior to leaving Canada,
or that she has slipped over the border
when the sharp-eyed Canadian officials
were not looking and took a smash at
few joints in some of the towns in
her native province.
Mayor Ross, in replying to Mr. Phoe-
nix, stated that Carrie Nation had
never been a resident of Wichita, and
one could almost distinguish evidence
of pleasure upon the mayors part in
the way he said it. He also intimates
that upon the occasions of Carries
brief visits to Wichita in the past she
had doubtless been too busy with other
matters to call upon him and enlighten
him relative to her antecedents, hence
he was unable to tell what her maiden
name was, whether her first husband
was a doctor, whether she ever lived in
London, Canada, or where her present
address is. 1t is possible however.
that some of Carries admirers in
Wichita may take the necessary
trouble to enlighten him in this partic
ular.

as much attention to herself as by
bare arms or by uncovered head. I'm
doubtedly she may, and the Bible has
much to say about the modesty of
dress in the house of God. In the
former case the attention is drawn TO
the clothing or the jewelry. In the
latter the attention is personal or phys
ical, which precisely is what st. Paul
objects to; that is, the display of any
personal or physical attraction in the
church"
DR.. Stoddard also called attention to
the fact that at a recent wedding in
st. Johns church some young women
INDUCED in rice throwing in the mid
die aisle and Vestibule.
I'VE should imagine" he said, that
outsiders, of whatever church, would
realize the outrageous inappropriate
ness of rice or confetti, or old shoe
throwing in and around a church."

SALTON SEA IS
STEADILY RISING
GAINS AT RATE OF HALF. AN
INCH PER DAY
San Bernardlno School Controversy
VIII Probably Be Settled With
out Recourse to the
Courts
Special to The Herald.


SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. People
in from the Salton sea report that
body of water is still steadily rising
at the rate of fully one-half inch d
Gay. The belief is steadily gaining
in the vicinity of the sea that it Is to
become a permanent body of water,
though it is possible that when the
Colorado river flow is entirely cut off
the sea will gradually disappear by
evaporation. The tracks of the South
ern Pacific are as yet safe from the
encroachments of the sea, but should
the rise of the water continue many
weeks longer the tracks will again
have to be moved at some points. The
railroad men are closely watching the
situation but are doing little talking.
The Central school dispute seems in
a fair way of being settled without re-
sorting to the courts. The contro-
versy has now resolved itself into the
question of just where the line of the
city school district is, and when this
is determined the matter will be quick
ly Strengthened out. The county and
city surveyors are at work locating
the line, regarding which there seems
to be some uncertainty. Then the
pupils will attend school in the dis
trict where they live, or pay tuition
in the city schools.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wong Chew, who were
married in this city a few weeks ago,
ran afoul of the Chinese inspectors at
Tuscon, Ariz., and the young Chinese
bride was held in the detention house
for some hours until they could be in
vestigated by the officers. Wong Chew,
who is a Tucson merchant, married the
girl in San Bernardino and took her
to his home, but the officers there
believed she had been imported and
was his slave. The girl was released
on receipt of telegram from Justice
of the Peace Thomas of this city that
they were all right.
The man who was arrested in Reno,
New, on the supposition that he was
Arden Keller, wanted here for running
away from a charge of conducting a
blind pig" in the mountains near the
lumber and reservoir camps, turns out
to be the wrong man. A telegram to
that effect has been received by Sheriff
Ralphs from Under Sheriff McNabb,
who went there to bring the man back.

VENTURA CITIZEN INJURED
Horse Frightened by Groans of a
Sick Man He Had Be-
friended
Special to The Herald.


VENTURA, Oct. IAN accident oc-
Cured on Ventura avenue yesterday
shortly after noon, as a result of which
Charles Simpson sustained fracture
of one leg between the knee and ankle.
Rather peculiar circumstances sur
round the accident. Lee Wilson, who
lives a few miles north of town, was
starting for home when he was taken
with an attack of heart trouble and
fell from the wagon. While the crowd
which had collected, was discussing
what to do, Mr.. Simpson drove up with
a horse and buggy He took the sick
man in and started for his (Simpson's)
home. The groans of Wilson frightened
the horse, which finally started to run.
When nearly in front of Simpsons
home the buggy struck the sidewalk,
throwing both men out. Mr.. Simpsons
leg was broken as above stated. Mr..
Wilson's injuries were not serious and
he has greatly improved. The buggy
was demolished.

HATLESS WOMEN
TOO ATTRACTIVE
PREACHER ASKS LADIES TO
WEAR HEADGEAR
Jersey City Dominic Says Men Pay
Too Much Attention to Women's
Beautiful Hair and Neglect
the Sermon
Special to The Herald.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Oct. l.
Nearly every woman who attended
the service at st. Joseph's Episcopal
church tonight wore hats in response
to a gentle hint from the Rev. DR.. e.
L. Stoddart, rector. The hint appeared
in the current issue of the church
weekly distributed today among the
parishioners. Those who come to
church hatless were stared at by the
others who had read the Clergyman s
article on st. Paul and hats.
DR.. Stoddart recently returned from
Europe, where he spent a years Vaca-
ton. He found that many women of
his parish had acquired the habit dur
ing the summer of going to church,
particularly on Sunday evenings, with
out hats. He does not approve the
innovation, but didn't say SO from the
pulpit. He reserves all his little lee
lures and business talks for the Bull
letin, and the members read it relig-
iously.
Rector's Authority Is ST. Paul
Dr. Stoddart in his hint" said:
In the seventh chapter of first Cor
inthians st. Paul the apostle distinctly
torbids women to remain bareheaded
in church. OF course in this lively age
we have many a fippant critic who
the great apostle, and say that that
may have been we'll enough for the
first century, but as regards us, why,
Paul was a little behind time
THAT may be true, though I must
confess that, as far as my experience
goes, 1 have not only found no one
who has outgrown st. Paul, but no one
who, in greatness of thought, breadth
of vision, and profound spiritual saga
city begins to approach him. But even
if we have outgrown him in some re-
spects, have we done so in the matter
of bareheaded women in church?"
DR.. Stoddart said that THE glory of
a woman is her hair" and it has al
ways been considered one of her
charms, to care for which she devotes
much of her time and upon which she
relies for part of her attraction.
rs it not evident" he continued,
that the church is not the place for
the display of this attraction? Is it
not clear that to come to church with
an elaborate coiffure is to come with
something which draws attention of
man to the woman who is so adorned b?
rs it not plain that this is not in
harmony with the angelic spirit which
we have just described? We are used
more to see in the streets and theaters
women with bare heads.
Mustn't Attract Men in Church
1T is unquestioned that in all this
the woman attracts the attention and
often the admiration of men. But it
is just this which she is not to do in
church. If 1 understand the apostle
right, in the house of the Savior woman
is to be supremely modest and her
charms restrained with none of that
abandon with which she swings along
the field or shore, with Drowned arms
and disheveled locks. There is to be
a distinction of places and also of man.

of gaudy hats, woman may not attract
