DIES MONIES, Ia, Oct. ia geo1-
ogy class of Drake university students
mostly young women, under leadership
of Professor Nichols, was imprisoned
two hours yesterday afternoon at the
bottom of a coal pit by crowd OF
miners, who were determined to have

longer Imprisonment the miners
at length angrily lowered the bar and
drew the class to the top of the shaft.

The miners kidnapping plot may
have been suggested as a joke, but
the workmen became earnest when
their ultimatum pay or you won't

Nichols counseled resistance and the
girls readily consented to wait until
the miners backed down.

STARVING SCHOLAR.
Son of Clergyman Caught as Thief,
Released When Known.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.-Oliver Hamil-
ton, son of an English Episcopalian
minister, graduate of Elton college
near London, handsome, athletic
young fellow VINO speaks several
languages, and bears unmistakable
signs of a gentleman and scholar,
was arrested late Saturday night for
snatching a purse from a woman. He
confessed to the policeman that
caught him and said ne and his wife
were starving and he did not know
what he was doing. He was detained
at the Four Courts over night aNl
Sunday morning, the woman whose
purse he stole refusing to prosecute
him, and the police verifying the
young mans story of suffering, he
was released with the injunction to go
and sin no more.
For two weeks young Hamilton de-
clared he and his wife mad subsisted
on bread and onions.
Racked in mind and body, too proud
to beg and unable to find employment,
he wandered the streets all of Friday
and Saturday, until, half-crazed with
hunger and lack of sleep, he COM
mitted the first crime of his life.

SATISFIED WITH THE YIELD.
J. J. Smith Tells Tacoma About Wal.
la Walla's Crop This Year.

Every warehouse in Walla Walla is
full of wheat, and the entire crop will
average about thirty bushels to the
acre, and the farmers are all salts
fed with the result of the agricultural
year." said ]. z. Smith of Walla WAL
la at the Donnelly last night, says
the Tacoma Ledger. LAS a matter of
fact, this is an unusual year, not so
much on account Of the yield as on
account of the nature Of the imme-
diately preceding years. Nearly all
the recent years have been good ones
and the family of the valley are all to
the good. Mortgages are as scarce as
hens teeth where they used to be as
thick as chicken coops. Maybe the
hens paid off the mortgage, but the
good crops had much to do with it. AS
natural result, the farmers are In
no hurry to sell their wheat. Calling
the price offered "a cents, which is, I
think, a fair average, it has been re-
fused time and time again by the
farmers of Walla Walla.
What they want is rs cents q
bushel. Sometimes I think they
would rather take Is cents than 80
cents. OF course, they are not crazy,
but Is cents is a sort of creed with
them and when they get that price,
they will unload like flash. Under
their terms with the warehouse they
have until next January to get their
wheat out of the warehouse without
any additional cost and they are just
waiting for a rise."

DEFENDS RIGHT TO HER CHILD
Mrs. Belle PendIeton HaraIson Resists
Effort of Husbands Friends

Echoes of the sensational HARRISON
divorce proceedings were heard In
Judge Yorks court yesterday when
Mrs. Belle Pendleton. HARRISON, the
musician, and sister of State Senator
Cornelius Pendletop, defended her
rights to the custody of her son Will
lam.
The case was scheduled to be heard
before Judge Trask, but owing to the
fact that he was familiar with the di
vorce case, he declined to consider the
petition of Orr Haralson for the GUS
tody of the boy and a reduction of the
alimony which the court granted to
his wife several years ago.
Haralson asked the court to annul
the decree of the court giving his for
mer wife the custody of the child and
$40 a month for the child's maintenance.
When Judge York called the case
for trial the attorneys advised the court
that the parties had temporarily COM
promised their claims, which action
obviates the necessity for trial at the
present time.

S61,000 ISSUE OF BONDS
Saturday Afternoon Club Gives Sue

Special TO The Herald.
MONROVIA, Feb. 1.-THE date Of
the bond election in Monrovia has been
set for March H. The S61,O00 issue
submitted to the voters is proposed to
be issued in sets, as in the balloting
ten different questions will be sub
mitted. All bonds will bear per cent

They will run for terms of years vary
ing from ten to thirty.
The election officers appointed are:

A large amount of money was
realized by the Saturday Afternoon
club this evening from presentation
of Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch"
The performance took place in the
opera house before an enthusiastic au-
oience. Mrs. C. f. Moore, a leading
member of the club, took the part of
the cheerful Mrs. Wiggs and played
it to perfection.
Miss Beulah Dingman and Homer e.
Barka have been selected by the high
school to debate with Anaheim on the
negative side of this knotty question:
Resolved, That a nation advanced in
civilization is justifiable, in the inter-
ests of humanity, in forcing its author
ity upon an inferior people" Monrovia
lost its last debate to San Fernando
by the decision of the judges, although
first and second honors went to the
Monrovia sdebaters. Now they are
again on the side of a question in
which they oppose the imperialistc
policy of Roosevelt and must debate in
a Republican community. At Fer
nando Monrovia took the unpopular
side.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
TALKS TO FELLOWSHIP
Novelist Discusses New Thought
at Gathering Of 3. Fay Mills.

at Gathering Of 3. Fay Mills.
Associates
Members Of the Fellowship, recently
organized by Benjamin Fay Mills,
were guests last evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Drake Ruddy,
2711 Wiltshire boulevard, where they
heard Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
speak on THE New Thought" The
assembly was in the nature of a con-
versation, one Of the series at which
Fellowship members will discuss ques-
tions of economic and educational i'm
portance.
Mrs. Wilcox defined the new thought
in a coupet composed at the dinner
table, where she had met several of
the leaders in the movement that
promises much for Los Angeles. In a
few words she explained that the new
thought is an old thought of right liy-
ing-a thought that recognizes the
imminence of God and the divinity of
man. Mr. Mills also spoke on the sub
iect and then all the guests engaged
i'm an informal discussion.
BY the lack of self-consciousness, her
modesty, sweetness and dignity Mrs.
Wilcox charmed all who heard her. IF
there were any who had not believed
in the cult of unselfshness, high as
piration and broad philanthropy as
represented in the new thought, all
were evidently converts before the
conversation" was finished.
Mrs Wilcox, long recognized as the
foremost of contemporary American
poets, has recently added to her liter
ary triumps by the success of her play.
"Mizpah," in which she collaborated
with Luscomb Searelle, the one-time
millionaire impresario of South Africa.
Mr.. Searele Is now seriously Ill in
San Francisco hospital. For some
Mrs. Wilcox he had suffered all sorts
of bad luck but "Mizpah" brought him
success that gave him the promisesof
another future. At the moment when
his prospects frightened he became
dangerously i'll and since he went to
his s5,OO0,O0O claim against the British
government has been allowed and soon
will be paid. The claim arises out of
the confiscation of all of Searches
property by the Boer government Mt
the time of Jameson's raid. Among
other things, Searelle purchased sew
eral thousand stands of arms and con-
cealed them under the stage of his
Johannesburg theater. A Boer stage
hand discovered the secret of the hid-
den rifles and informed Kruger. Not
only were the arms confiscated and
used against the English later, but all
of Searches estate was taken by the
government, and he was sentenced to
be shot Powerful friends mitigated
the sentence so he was allowed 10
escape with John Hays Hammond to
this country, but his property was
kept by the Beers. At the close of the
war he put in the claim, which, it is
reported, has been allowed.

EXCEPTIONAL RAINS
Building Operations in Santa Monica
Delayed by Storm


SANTA MONICA, Feb. 17.-Another
heavy rain fell here today and build
