Special TO lhe herald
BALTIMORE, Md, April 1.-Saloon-
keepers in the vicinity of the chapel
of the Guardian Angel at Twenty
fourth street and Huntington avenue
are raising a howl because the pool
tables established by the progressive
pastor of that congregation is serious
ly interfering with their business.
The Rev. George j. Kroner has re-
sorted to unusual methods to bring
people into his church and raise rev.
enue for it's support. Among these is
the pool room he has established in the
basement of the chapel containing up
to-date tables, to the use of which all
corners are entitled in the order of ap-
plication for 20 cents a week.
The pool room is open four nights in
the week. On each of these nights
there is a crowd of young men await
ing the opening of the doors and the
appearance of the pastor, and the
worries click merrily until closing time.
Meanwhile the pastor is doing mis-
sionary work among those awaiting
their, turn. and is constantly gaining
results.

CHINESE YOUTH
FOOLS SLEUTHS
ACTS AS PILOT FOR LOTTERY
JOINT
Proves an Adept at Work Entrusted
to Him Examination by
Attorney Without
Result

With head defiantly erect and bright
black eyes swapping with resentment
Wong Fol Lung, the 12-year-old son of
Quong Lee Lung of North Los An
geles street, faced Judge Wilbur in de-
partment eight of the superior court
Saturday afternoon during the hear
ing of Juveniles, to answer charge OF
having piloted for a lottery.
The boy had been arrested by Off
GERS McGraw and Willet, and although
only a youngster he fought like a
tiger and at the last moment rather
than be arrested with evidence on him,
hurled the companies lottery tickets
from him and tried to break away.
The officers allowed the lad to reach
his fathers house, when he dashed into
first one room and then another. On
reaching the central room of the house
the lad made a sudden dodge, uttered a
peculiar whistle and the officers heard
the doors before them click shut with
heavy spring locks.
The boy was later arrested and taken
to the police station and then sent to
the superior court for trial.
Go to Boys Aid
But his ia ther and number of prom
inent Chinese merchants went to the
lads aid and he was bailed out of the
detention home. Wong is known as the
smartest boy in Chinatown and besides
being a regular attendant at the mis-
sion school he spends several hours
with a Chinese teacher every day in
order that his command of the native
tongue may be extensive.
According to the allegations, the boys
smartness in giving warning against
the approach of officers caused his
downfall. His father, 1t was said, had

merchants store. The rear of the build
ing faced on Niger alley.
The patrons of the place were ad-
mitted from either entrance, more than
score of ways being provided to get
out of the building in case of emer-
gency.
The black-eyed boy had spent his
days playing in front of the store with
his young companions or visiting them
at their homes. But no matter where
he went he generally received small
packets of lottery tickets to carry to
his faher.
Lottery Business ThriVed
And so the business thrived until
Wong was arrested by McGraw.
Saturday the lad appeared in court,
accompanied by several merchants. The

to touch the ill-clad white and black
who were with him.
The Chinese boy had been well

LAMB BATTERS UP A LION
Let Into His Gage, the Small Animal
Butts the King of Beasts
Fiercely
Special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, April 1,---Georgia, a
big African lion, and Billy Lun, d
lamb, arrived in peace and harmony on
the Minneapolis, of the Atlantic Trans
port line, on Tuesday night, but yester-
day there was a slight rupture in the
friendly relations that have existed for
years.
1t was all on account of a man with
a camera who insisted on getting a
picture of the two. To please him Billy
was let into the compartment where
Georgia VISA. Billy, with fire in his
eye, made one leap and rammed that
lion so hard amidships that he almost
knocked him over. Billy drew back
and struck again.
Georgia growled, and, Billys wrath
apparently having found full vent, he
posed tractably by Georgia's side while
the camera man snapped his shutter.

ORDER SPEEDY
WORK ON SCHOOLS
HIGH SCHOOL ANNEX FIRST TO
BE BUILT
Boyle Heights VIII Have Fine New
Structure at Euclid and Stephen
son edlately-Other Ad-
ditions Planned

The public schools authorities will to-
day issue circulars requesting archi-
tects and contractors having charge
OF the proposed new educational insti-
tutions to proceed with all possible
haste in their erection.
1t is the board of educations desire
that the opening of another scholastic
year in Los Angeles shall find grea ter
facilities for both grammar and high
school work, and plans of great scope
have been drawn up with a view to
alleViating the crowded condition Of the
schools.
The rapid increase in population dur
ing the past few years has developed a
problem among local educators which
can only be solved by the extension of
present facilities.
The most notable impr ovement under
consideration and for which plans are
now being drawn is the addition to the
Los Angeles high school, for which an
appropriation of $4,000 has been made.
The building has been erected on North
Hill street, near the site of the main
structure. A special feature is to be
the chemistry and physical departments
for the students who are now obliged
to work in the attic of the old building.
1t is probable that the present lunch
rooms where hot meals are served dur
ing the noon recreation hour will be
factors of the past after the new struc-
ture has been finished as it is planned
to use the basement for the cooking
and serving of student meals.
Both high school faculty and students
are looking forward with eagerness
to the time when they will be able to
emerge from the congested condition
which now prevails.
Boyle Heights citizens are rapidly
coming to the fore with rising genera
ton, which has resulted in a demand
for more school space, and the new
grammar school building which will be
erected on the corner of Euclid and
Stephenson avenues, one block from the
Euclid avenue car line, is to be the
principal addition of the scholastic au-
thorities for the east side
Other Boyle Heights improvements
will be the four new rooms which will be
to both the Second street and
Cornwell street grammar grade build
ings.
Most of the contracts have been let
and there will be no cessation once the
activities have commenced. Officials
stated yesterday that the new high
school building will be under way very
shortly, as the probabilities are that the
plans now being drawn will be accepted
with but small alteration.

ARAB GIANTS HEALTH is
WARNING TO ATHLETES
SLIGHT COLD OFTEN PROVES
THEIR UNDoING
Stage and Circus Performers Who
Ignore Rules of Health Find
That Nature Is a Stern Mis-
tress

Amateur athletes, actors and others
who read in The Herald the story of
the giant Arabian acrobat who died in
Los Angeles after a cold that he re-
garded as trife agree that it should
serve as a warming.
In speaking of the case a well known
amateur athlete said yesterday that
consumption often seizes upon the
strongest of men, especially when their
work took them on a theater stage
where they performed remarkable feats
of physical strength and then retired to
cold dressing room, reeking with per-
spiration.
A slight cold often developed into
something worse, said the athlete, and
many of the noted stage and circus ac-
robats We're short-lived.
The Arabs Case Was Pathetic
A giant acrobat, not long ago on the
Orpheum circuit, Mohammed Agraham,
died last week at the county hospital
and now lies in pauper's grave, q
victim of consumption.
He was a member of a troupe of
Bedouin Arabs who gave a splendid
exhibition of acrobatic work at the
Orpheum some time ago. Mohammed
was the strongest member of the COM
pany and was a. perfect specimen of
physical manhood.
GIoried in Strength
He gloried in his strength and per-
formed feats that were a marvel even
to his companions. No weight was too
heavy for him to lift, and as the under
man in the "human tower he excited
the applause of the audience by his
almost superhuman strength.
After leaving Los Angeles the Arab
troupe performed in Denver and there
Mohammed Agraham contracted
slight cold that rapidly developed into
consumption. In st. Louis the giant
was prevailed upon to see a physician
and laughed incredulously when the
doctor told him he had the worst form
of consumption.
But his strength began to wane and
understudy poor Mohammed sickened
His friends made up a purse and sent
him to this city, in hope that the raw
ages of the white plague might be
stayed. But there was no hope for the
giant athlete and at the county hos
pital he passed away, far from his home
and friends.
To a nurse who watched by his bed
side he told rambling tales of sunny
Arabia, where men died of old age or
in conflict. He said he hated the
treacherous climate of America and
when he got better would return to his
native land. But he never got better
and sank away, a shadow of his former
robust manhood.

be remitted except through confession
or perfect contrition.
Temporal Pain

be remitted except through confession
or perfect contrition.
Temporal Pain
after the guilt has been removed
by pardon there remains such temporal
punishments as are unexpiated by the
imperfect disposition of the repentent
sinner. We can easily understand that
God RENTS so much of this punishment
as our love for him deserves; to some
much is remitted, to others but little
as the motives of their sorrow are more
or less perfect.
TT is sometimes asked il God, in
remitting sin, does not also remit all
that belongs to the sin. 1t is not so
taught by the scriptures. Adam sinned
and was forgiven, but the punishment
of death and life of bitter labor re-
manned after his pardon. Moses sinned
in his doubt and God forgave him his
sin, but he did not remit the temporal
punishment with which he visited him
by which he was forbidden to enter
the promised land. So did the child of
David and the wife of Uriah die,
though the prophet Nathan brought the
pardon of God to his repentent soul.
"Ninevet, because of it's sins was
threatened with destruction. The PEN
ance of the people saved 1t. The re-
belious Jews in the desert and Moses
leading his people incurred the anger of
God, yet while pardon was granted for
the sin pestilence came upon the people
as a punishment and Moses was not
allowed to enter into the promised
land.
Not for Sale
'1'he church not only teaches that
indulEences are not for sale but it
actually establishes that the sale of
indulgences or any spiritual benefit as
such constitutes what is known as the
crime of 'simony' Jealousies and an
between different ambitious
men had much to do with the opposi-
ton made against the work of Tetzel,
who stands as the occasion for the an
tagonism of the reformation.
This bitter question is a vast one,
upon which much might be said. Suf
fcient to say now that nowhere in the
discipline of the church, in her councils.
can be found a single line which would
warrant abuse. The principle which
the church has maintained from the
beginning is the principle of help to
the individual soul in it's struggle
against the consequences of sin. 1t is
an encouragement to charity, to mercy
end to self-denial, which is to be re-
warded by spiritual blessings. 1t is
of the severe penalties
which the church in early days in
hcted upon public sin.
at is Communication of penance, which
is effected through the assistance of
him who is our elder brother and
whose merits have been placed in the
treasury of the church to help the
weak ones of the flock"

INDULGENCE NOT REMISSION
OR PARDON OF SHINING
BISHOP coNATY DEFINES VExED
QUESTIONS
Catholic Church Teaches That InduIs
gences Are Not for Sale and
Establishes That Such Traffic
Would Be a Crime

''Indulgences, one of the great
Catholic doctrines, was the topic of Rt
Rev. Bishop Conaty yesterday morning
at the Cathedral of st. Vibiana. 1t was
the fifth of the series of Lenten ser
mons delivered by the bishop at the
cathedral. The church was crowded to
it's fullest capacity, many standing
throughout the service. The sermons
by the bishop always attract large con-
gregations, but during Lent these have
been greatly enlarged.
The bishop took for his text, 81 will
give to thee the keys of the kingdom
of heaven; whatsoever thou shalt bind
on earth shall be bound in heaven and
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth
shall be loosed also in heaven" st.
Mathew, 1919. He said in part:
THE question of indulgence is closely
related to the question of confession,
for by the same power which the
church exercises over sin in the con-
fessional she operates upon the tenn
poral punishments due to sin.
There are few questions between
Catholics and non-Catholics more gen.
orally misunderstood than that of in
dulgences.
Often Misunderstood
THE word indulgence gives certain
ing, for its first meaning might be
taken to admit of license, while its
more correct meaning in this connec-
tion rather refers to relaxation or
diminutioh of penalty, while really it
does mean the remission of some of the
punishments entaled by sin.
ITO get a correct idea of what our
church teaches concerning indulgence
let us recall what an Indulgence is not
1t is not Il permission to commit sin,
for no power on earth, not even the
omnipotence of God, could grant such
permission, as sin is at variance with
the very essence of God An indulgence
is not a remission or pardon of sin, for
by its very nature it does not take it's
place in the work of the church until
sin and its eternal punishment be re-
mitted by the sacrament of reconcilia-
tion or perfect contrition.
I'm order to understand the definition
we must understand the nature of sin.
In every sin there are two things
guilt which comes to the soul and
punishment which the sin deserves. I'll
the sin be grievous there is eternal
punishment and also temporal; if it be |
not mortal there is but temporal
punishment entaile. In order that the
guilt of sin be remitted the sin must be |
confessed and repented of: no sin can
