TOURIST TELLS HOW OUT

Brothers and officer
TOOK . PICTURES OF SCENE

Edward Chisholm of Woodville, Miss
who is touring California, is guest
at the Westminster He brought with
him photographs of the scene Of the
killing of the Gates brotbers, murderers
and train robbers by a deputy sheriff
at Spear, N. NJ, April II.
Mr.. Chisholm was on the train which
carried the deputy to the scene of the
shooting and took the photographs of
the house a few minutes after the deed
was committed, being the only one of
the passengers to have a camera.
The deputy had been apprised of the
whereabouts of the outlaws, and, look
ing through the window of the front
room, saw the two brothers asleep on
O bed in one corner.
Armed with a short double-barreled
shotgun, the deputy opened the door
and ordered the brothers to put up
their hands. Both men attempted to
reach for their revo)7ers concealed be-
meath the mattress, but were instantly
shot by the deputy.
The brothers during the first months
of the year terrorized the locality by
their daring hold-ups and lawlessness.
They were responsible for the murder
of Express Messenger w. ]. O'Neil in
the Copley train robbery, March 81 of
last year.
Los Angeles police authorities are
firmly convinced that the Gates broth
ers were operating here for a time
shortly before they were killed. That
they were in Los Angeles there is little
doubt, and the fact that numerous
hold-ups and burglaries occurred at the
time when they are supposed to have
been in the city led the officers to view
them with suspicion

WHAT WILL THE
POOR GIRL Do?
RESTRICTIONS ON KISSING
MAY BE NEXT REFORM
ST. LOUIS UP AGAINST IT
Certificates of Good Health Required
of Those Desiring to Caress
Their Loved
Ones

Restrictions on the popular art of
kissing have reached st. Louis as a
result of the reform idea and if the
saloons are closed in Los Angeles many
have grave fears that this same fate
will befall this community, coming in
the line of advanced reform.
A recent order of the health depart
ment in st. Louis prohibits kissing in
public, unless it can be clearly shown
that the participants in the osculator5
competition are of sound mind and
body and free from the communicating
effects of contagion.
DIR. j. H. Simon, the health commits
sioner, has sprung into notoriety
through the unusual order to which is
affixed his name, and strenuous meas
ures are being adopted to enforce it.
The detail of detectives furnished the
health department has strict orders to
arrest every one concerned in publicly
osculating and convey them to the city
bastille, pending an examination into
their qualifications and eligibility ac-
cOrulnS 10 IHe COue leNlSeu ny tHe
health department.
1t is claimed by the health commits
sioner that contagiou is spread with
more alarming frequency through the
deceit of kiss than in any other man
ner and it is his purpose to put an end
to it all
Dr. Simon is an ardent admirer CT
Governor Folk, the reformer and origi-
nator of the Missouri idea" The wave
of morality and reform now spreading
over the state is at the height of pop
ularity and it is whispered that DR..
Simon has an eye trained upon the
mayoralty chair and desires to be
known as a high apostle of the Folk
idea of reform.

Has Hard Job

This much in explanation of his fool
hardness in flying in the faces of the
Romeos and Juliets of the Mound city,
And while his faithful kissing bri-
gade' of detectives will no doubt be
able to capture the indiscreet ones who
can't wait until they are alone and in
private, but insist upon agitating their
lips before the vulgar public gaze, yet
it is a matter of much speculation as
to how these sleuths will be able to
apprehand the more sensible lovers who
buzz and swap Zip julep" in cozy
psrlor beneath the scarcely discernible
light of low-turned gas jets, far from
the madding crowd"
With prize fights made a felony, pool
rooms closed, race tracks shut up, auto
mobiling limited to six miles an hour,
thirst parlors, swell restaurants and
looms closed after midnight and a
threat TO close all theaters on Sunday,
life has not been strewn with roses
for the man about town i'm st. Louis for
some time, and now that he is to be de-
prived of the right and privilege of
kissing his best girl or wife, unless he
is a perfect man physically, the burden
will be altogether too great for the
ordinary free and easy going natures
of st. Louis.
Maybe those disgusted with the
Simon idea will come to Los Angeles
for the preesnt, it has been suggested.

Last week and this week also the Central has
been much indebted to the other church papers
issued in Richmond. They kindly gave us
matter in type which they had used, and took
in exchange some things from the columns of
the Central This exchange is an example of
the very cordial relations existing between the
denominations i'll Virginia and the South 1t
is, moreover, an illustration OF the fact that the
churches are one in the great things of our
like precious faith" Our readers have an
opportunity to see for themselves the excel
lence of these church papers. This week we
have compelled our friend, Prof T. NJ Black
ford, of the Episcopal High School at Alexan-
dria, to write for the Central one of his fine let
ters of travel.

whit behind any of Them for it has DR.. Moore
as its distinguished and efficient president. So,
Columbia has quite set itself up and proposes
to have president, also. And it will do we'll
if it succeeds in getting DR.. Rice. He would
fill and ornament the position as we'll as any of
the theological presidents. Not in the slight

At the late meeting of the American Board
for Foreign Missions, it was found that the
treasury was in arrears to the amount of $I75,-
900. A number of circumstances have been
mentioned as contributing to account for the
debt. In the first place a debt of $22, 900 was
carried over from the previous year. There
was large and exceptional expenditure in
connection with the missions in Micronesia,
the islands of the South Seas, especially in the
purchase and equipment of the Morning Star,
mission ship, absolutely necessary to work on

After middle age comes the afternoon Of
mans life. 1t is the time for the maturity of
manhood, and the ripening of character and
wisdom. There is some gathering in of the
fruits of toll. Some store is laid aside for the
winter days of life. Is the light clearer? Are
the great things of truth more distinctly seen?
Does peace grow in the heart? Are there seeds
preparing for another spring, a life beyond the
coming winter? Is it a golden light that comes
from the west and the setting sun to which we
go? Then life's afternoon ought to be more
peaceful, with the promise and the beginnings

Can there be anything more beautiful than

The visit of the daughter of the President of
the United States to the East has been one of
the events of the summer, and may have some
far-reaching results. A well-raised American
young woman, blessed with good common
sense, she has, we have no doubt borne her
self without affectation or assumption She
was simply one of sightseeing party who
went to the Philippines with Secretary Taft.
Beyond her anticipation she had most
authorities of Japan, China and Korea She
was received with the utmost cordiality by the
Empress of China, by the Mikado of Japan and
the Korean Emperor; and through oriental and
unwOnted ceremonials bore herself with dig
nlty and reserve. There is something human
and kindly iii this unofficial visit of the untitled
American woman. Without word of dipo-
macy or appeal, we doubt not the influence for
kindly feelings among the nations towards the
United States will be felt effectively and for a
long time. She had opportunities for words
of encouragement to the missionaries, the am
bassadors of her Lord, and words of intro
duction of them to the high officials of the
East. Last Friday, the 22nd, Miss Roosevelt
attended a gathering under the auspices Of
Korean Christian women missionaries. A
Korean Bible and prayer-book were given to
Miss Roosevelt From the chapel the as
semblage proceeded to a garden party given in
honor of Miss Roosevelt and her party by
American missionaries in Korean districts All
denominations were represented.

Some stir was anticipated in the American
board when DR.. GLADDEN. introduced his reso-
luton, disappearing the solicitation and accep-
tance of money from sources supposed to be
corrupt. But without discussion the resolu-

The prevailing sentiment was that it was not
wise for the board to deliver judgment upon
Mr.. Rockefeller and his methods of money
getting; however it might disapprove of all inn
moral and unjust methods of accumulation.

LONDON, July 15.--The condition of
Charles T. YER 3, the Chicago and
London street railway magnate and
multl-milllonaire, today is reported
much improved, but there is reason to
believe that he is still rather seriously
Ill. His official spokesmen continue
to state that his trouble Is slight and
that he will resume work in few
days. They say he is really able to
attend to business now, but remains
in his room out of Difference to the pre-
cautions of his physicians. Neverthe-
less, inquiry among those acquainted
with the facts indicates that Yerkes
has been alarmingly Ill and is yet far
from well; that it is not thought safe to
risk a journey into the country. The
hope is expressed that IL the improve
ment continues by the end Of next week
the patient may venture to leave

NOT PEACE AT ANY PRICE

Press Declares Gar viii Not Sanction

by Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 15.-The
Sviet, which some times interprets the
views of the military party, today in
dignantly rejects the Interpretation
put upon M. Whites appointment
abroad, namely, that it is equal to the
acceptance of any peace terms Japan
may choose to offer except the leveling
of the Notifications of Vladivistok. The
paper calls attention to Emperor
Nicholas marginal notes on various ad-
dresses, exposing his determination to
continue war, and it especially refers
to his telegram to Lieutenant General
Linevitch, June IA, which the COM
mander in chief read to the army and
which has just been published here.
In this the emperor pledged himself
to do everything possible to tighten the
heavy task of the army, and expressed
confidence that all obstacles would
finally be overcome and that the war
would end happily for the Russian
army. This is adduced as proof that
the emperor has no intention to make
peace at any price. AS further evidence
the Sviet draws attention to the un-
usual wording of the note attached to
the official announcement of M. Whites
appointment, which runs as follows:
"Being intimately acquainted with the
situation, M. Witte will undoubtedly be
equal to the high and important mission
with which the emperor has graciously
charged him and know how to protect
the interests of Russia"
The Sovo thinks that the desire Of
the powers, especially of Great Britain,
in view of Emperor Williams attitude
toward France, to see Russia rehabili-
tated in order to preserve the balance
of power in Europe should become a
strong diplomatic weapon in the hands
of the Russian plenipotentiaries for the
restoration policy of the status quo ante
bellum.

FREIGHT ENGINE BOILER
EXPL0DES NEAR KlNGMAN
Engineer and Fireman Are Instantly
Killed, Their Bodies Being Badly
Scalded and Mangled

Special to The Herald.
KINGMAN, Arfz., July Is. This
morning, at 4:SO.. the boiler of one of
the big freight engines blew up seven
miles south of this place, instantly kill
ing Engineer e. Fl. Copeland and Fire
man G. B. Bryant, the bodies being
terribly mangled and scalded.
The engine was pulling thirty cars
of fruit and had just made Hancock
hill when the explosion came 1t is
thought that the sudden shutting off of
the steam from the cylinder brought
undue pressure on the boiler, causing
the crown sheet to collapse. The boiler
was torn from it's frame and hurled
several hundred feet through the air,
the framework not being injured. En-
gineer Copeland was recently married
and his wife lives in Needles. Fireman
Bryant was single man.
