OF SUPT. TRoTTER
Another Gospel Wagon VIII BE
Put on-Fine Headquarters
Building to Be
Erected

The Union Rescue mission and the Los
Angeles city mission, a branch of the
former, have been consolidated.
j. Bruce Evans has been elected su-
perintendent to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of w. IL. Trotter.
He will be assisted by Rev. Il. G. Hor-
ton. assistant pastor of the Emanuel
Presbyterian church; 70. T. Ailward and
Herbert u. Green.
Frank Pratt, secretary Of the con-
Solidated mission, said last evening:
I'VE shall put on another gospel
wagon as soon as permission can be
obtained from the police commission.
Each wagon will be furnished with a
fine quartet which will enable us to
hold Sunday afternoon song services
in the different parts of the city.
I'm the near future we intend to
purchase site on Main street near
First upon which to erect building
to cost $4,000.
"In our new quarters we intend to
form Bible institute on the plan of
the great Moody Bible institution, to
prepare men for the mission work
I'm the past two years over 1400 men
have been rescued by the mission and
today over 100 of these men are oc-

INCREASED SUMNER BUILDING

Any school pupil who has reached the
proportion" stage of arithmetic can
solve this problem: If Q days yield
$507, ,612 what will 80 days yield? An
swer, 81 ,692040. The smaller sum rep
resents the value of buildings called for
by permits issued in Los Angeles for
the nine days of June ending last Sat-
urday. The larger sum indicates what
the figure for the whole month will be
if the nine day rate be maintained
throughout the month.
In these figures we have a substantial
answer to the question that was on
many tongues few weeks ago, but
which latterly has not been heard. The
question was. how will the earthquake
scare affect building in Los Angeles
during the summer? Something seems
to have had an inspiring effect, judging
from the early June exhibit. Evidently
the earthquake scare has not been a
factor at all. The inspiring factor is.
manifestly, the mistaken confidence of
capitalists, business men and home
seekers in the everlasting progress and
prosperity of this city.
For further evidence on that point, in
direct line with the permit record for
the early part of this month note the
buildings in progress in every part OF
the city. See the vast work in hand
for costly business structures on Main
street, Spring, Broadway, Hill and
other thoroughfares. See also the resi-
dences in course Of erection in all sec
tions. from the costly mansion Of the
rich to the humble home of the day
laborer.

the house built by the wise man as
related in the Bible, is founded upon

VIEW HALLOO! THE MOUSE
Tiny Gray Animal Starts a Lively
Chase in Broadway Among
Women
Special to The IIerala.

optCidl " lut
NEW YORK, June 13.-A mouse got
loose in Broadway yesterday afternoon
when its keeper wasn't watching, and
besides creating a panic (bargain
counter size) nearly tied up traffic for
a quarter of an hour The animal s
escape from where 1t belonged was CO.
incident with the turning loose of the
matinee crowds-5:30 o'clock or there
abounts. That's what made trouble.
There was nothing particular about
the mouse's appearance excepts it's ap-
parent great age and evident determine
alton; it was plainly pig-headed ami
NAL bent on travelling in a straight line.
II was observed first at Broadway and
ThiI ty-seventh street; to be exact, on
the west of Broadway trying to make
fast time across Thirty-seventh street.
Help! help!" screamed a woman.
The crowd cleared a circle, and be-
hold! there was the smallest and gray
est mouse ever seen (out of captivity,
head to wind, nose to the pavement,
and heading north. The animal seemed
to grow angry at the screams and laid
back its ears and continued on its
course.
Somewhere back in the crowd a man
began to yell:
Where's me mouse? Where's me
mouse?"
street on a bare sidewalk, crossed that
thoroughfare, and was well up to the
Metropolitan opera house before the
man in pursuit overlook him. In the
meantime, scores had got into the road
way, where cabs pulled up and motor
men shouted for the crowd to let the
cars go by
me mouse! Me mouse!" shrilled the
man, who elbowed everybody in sight
out of the way. "Oh, the rascal There
he is! Only let me lay me hands on
you again, an I'll teach you to run
away"
The mouse did it's best to escape
from the tyrant, but in vain. The hand,
yard in advance of its owner, spread
out like a trap. and Mr.. Mouse was
gathered In and deposited IL an inside
pocket.
"It got me mouse" painted the captor.
The crowd closed in to the sidewalk;
bells changed; cabbies chirruped to their
horses, and traffic was resumed. Some
paused to watch ragged man go down
side street, muttering inside his coat

RUEPS LEGISLATURE

One man had transcendent cause for
self-eratulation when the doors Of the
capitol closed upon the special session
OF the California legislature. It is
hardly necessary to say that the indi-
vidual is Abraham Ruef OF San Fran
cisco. lie was substantially the whole
circus. including the sideshows. From
inception to conclusion the domination
of the irrepressible boss was in evil
dence. 1t was Ruefs double-ring ag-
Eregation, the greatest legislative show
in the history Of California.
The state might have saved nice
sum of money by simply delesatlng
Boss Ruef to fix up all the legislation,
merely devoting day to the formallty
Of its adoption by the alleged states
men. That is evidenced by the fact
that all the legislation prepared by
Ruef went through as though It
were creased, while all that he failed
to approve was switched to the side
track.
For one thing, and one only, the peo-
pie of California have cause for thank
fulness to Ruef, although the cause
had sinister purpose underlying 1t.
That is, the brevity of the session. The
popular apprehension that the session
would be prolonged beyond the limit
of patience was not realized. The ad-
journment came much sooner than was
expected. But the quick work was part
of an adroit scheme to checkmate pub
lie disapproval of a long session. The
pretense of regard for economy was a
clever bit of political finesse aiming to
boost the governor in his attempt to
reach a second term nomination.
Should not Los Angeles make suitable
recognition of the services in behalf
of the city rendered by the Los Angeles
contingent in the legislature? Could
any form of recognition be more appro-
pirate than a guarantee of surcease
from similar public service henceforth
and forever?

CONFUSION OF COLLINS

By a vote so unanimous that mega
tive was not even called for, the
Shriners have decided to hold in Los
out of which they and Los Angeles
were "edicted" this year by one H. A.
Collins, who, an alien, happened to be
their temporary head
When San Francisco was wrecked
by earthquake. this Collins, whose
habitat is Canada and whose knowledge
of California geography is as limited as
is his sense of fairness, imagined that
Los Angeles must be obliterated also,
because it is in the same state.
Aided and abetted by that human
hyena. Hearst, who. losing in San Fran
cisco, couldn't bear to see this city,
to which he is also alien, prosper, Col
Inns, against the wishes of city and
Shriners alike, "edicted' that the
meeting promised Los Angeles should
be abandoned.
The Shriners themselves, noble as
they are, repudiated Collins, and came
anyhow, while flooding him with pro-
tests and denunciations. But they
could not bring here the Imperial
Council; Collins controlled this. So the
council went elsewhere.
The council met this week At it
universal demand went UP that the
next meeting be held in Los Angeles.
The American Shriners have keener
appreciation of honor than some aliens
possess; they keep their pledges. AS they
could not prevent the Collins repudia-
ton, they could recompense us next
year-and they did. thus again re-
rudiating Collins good and hard.
Los Angeles is magnanimous, how
ever; it bears no o.resentment. 1t hereby
and now invites Alien Collins to fetch
his cold feet here next May, and it
pledges to show him, as one of the
few Shriners who didn't come last
May, what he missed by staying away.
AS for the Shrine in general-the no.
bles know what's in store fcr them.
They had a sample of it month ago.
You couldn't keep Shriner away from
Los Angeles next year unless you tied
him up with a log chain and buried him
under brick house.

WAR COLLEGE NEARLY DONE
Imposing, but Not BeautifuI-Mil litary
Authorities Expect Great Results
from Training it viii Afford
Special to The Herald.


WASHINGTON. D. c., June 13.-
Capt. j. S. Sewell, in charge of the
Army War college building, says that
| it will be ready for occupancy this
summer This is record time for, a
great government building project, for
| 1t was only in February two years
ago that President Roosevelt laid the
cornerstone of the college.
| The building occupies a prominent
site in the Washington barracks reser-
walton overlooking the Potomac. 1t
| is the main feature in an extensive
| improvement scheme which will make
| the old Washington barracks a huge
military park.
Congress has not been very liberal
in dealing out money for the war col
| lege and so about the only ornamen-
tation that has not been cut out of
the original plans is Emperor Williams
| gift statue of Frederick the Great.
The architect, Charles F. McKinn, pro-
vided for a liberal amount of interior
establishment, but all this had to be
eliminated when congress insisted that
the cost be kept within million dol
lars.
Nevertheless. the War college. If not
beautiful is imposing, on account of
its size. The building is in the form of
| cross the center of which is sur
mounted by a dome. Brick relieved by
| Indiana limestone is used FOR the outer
walls. Although only a little more
than two full stories in height the in
terror construction of the War college
is of the most up-to-date fireproof de-
sign, hollow tile blocks being used
literally in the floors, partitions and
stairways. This is unusual for a build
ing no higher than the War college,
but the government engineers in
charge adopted hollow tile as the safest
and most durable material that could
be used and at the same time one
that could be brought within the limit
of cost.
The purpose of the War college, as
outlined by Secretary Root. is to make
It sort OF postgraduate school for
army officers. The best men from the
various post schools will be graded
up to the standard of the Leavenworth
and special service schools. From
these picked grades, men VIII be Sc
leoted for advanced study at the War
college In the great problems of nation
al defense, military science and respon-
sible command. The college will fill a
gap that now exists in the education
OF the American army officer, and mill
itary authorities expect splendid re-
suits from the training which the coll
lege will AFFORD in the higher branches
Of the warlike science.

Washington, II not in the White House.

devious ways, to what finality no man
can plainly say or see, but, as Demo-
Gratis everywhere feel and believe bod

form.
The Republican party Is a mammoth
trust. 1t is the greatest Of all the
syndlcates II could not. II II would.
mend any Of the abuses which have
grown up under its ministratlon and
which appear i'm every department of
the political commercial and economic
arena. IL Is responsible for the con-
version Of the public highways to pri-
vate uses; for the diversion of the taxes
from purposes Of revenue to purposes
OF emolument. for the consolidation of
all official power to a few hands at

financial power to a few hands in few
money centers; for the elimination of
the spirit and sense of accountability
from the party fabric for the corrup-
tion of the very sources of the political
fabric In the legislatures and the cleo
torate from one end of the land to the
other.
This Is not an overstatement. 1t
is not a preiudiced statement 1t is
fully substantlated by the revelations

incident to the insurance inquiry, the
revelations incident to the proceedings

There must be thorough overhauling
of the system, a complete change of
parties in the government and no
matter how attractive the president
may appear in the character of a re-
former, or how successfully he may
shape the elements so as to force his
party to accept him, or defeat, in 1908,
there is a prevalent belief-which may
prove irresistible-thate Mr.. Bryan has
served his probation and earned his re-
ward; that in his person stands an ac-
tual and visible victim of all that is
wanton and criminal i'm our politics
that with increasing years, and study
and travel has come increasing wis
dom that in short, he can be trusted
to take the helm and to steer us away
from the breakers of gang and-graft
politics, having it's headquarters in the
Republican steering committee of the
senate and in the Republican speaker,
and his rules committee of the house.
Such is the meaning and portent OF
the Bryan boom and movement, which,
upon the return of the native" will at
once receive an impetus and accelera-
tion great enough to allay all doubt
of it's spontaneous and popular char
acter.
The Courier-Journal accepts the situ-
alton heartily. 1t is Democrat, pure
and simple. 1t nurses neither sores no1
scores Nothing has ever entered the
head of 1t about Mr.. Bryan which 1t
did not long ago kick out at the heel

increasingly to make his election ar

while the very liveliest and largest
hope.
