TELLS FELLOWSHIP
OF EXPERIENCES
OF RELIEF FORCES

Charles Howard Mills, son of Rev. b..
F. Mills, who is acting as chief execu-
tive officer of the relief in San Fran
cisco and Oakland, returned to Los An
geles and spoke yesterday on the plat
form of the Los Angeles Fellowship.
He said: II shall not try to tell the
often-repeated story of the great dis
aster, but only to tell my own little
experience"
He then gave graphic description
of the shiver and terror of the first
shock, of how he and others escaped
from an almost falling house, were
prisoners for hours in fire-bordered
playground, suffered tortures from
heat, hunger and thirst, their sole pro-
visions being candy and fruit cake a
little lad secured from a burning shop.
Then came an awful tramp up and
down and around town, through burn
ing and bIockaded streets, trying to
reach the ferry. He got to Alameda
and almost Immediately engaged in the
relief work there. Then came the well
come news that his father was in Oak
land. and since then father and son
have been working together.
"The seemingly terrible calamity has
brought many blessings with it, Mr..
Mills added. 1T has been a revelation
of indomitable courage, faithfuness to
duty. the immateriality of all material
possessions, the sense of human broth
erhood and, best of ALL of trustful
and unselfish spirit. If an earthquake
can develop such splendid qualities, oh,
God, send us more earthquakes"

PREACHER ARGUES
THAT OMNIPOTENT
WAS IN DISASTER

In the First New Testament church
of Los Angeles, at Burbank hail. Pastor
Joseph Smale preached yesterday from
Heb 2:26-27: "He hath promised, say
ing, Yet once more / shake not the
earth only, but also heaven. And this
word, yet once more, signif1eth the re-
moving of those things that are shaken,
as of things that are made, that those
things which cannot be shaken may
remain"
After dwelling on the approaching
dissolution of all material things, the
preacher said:
1--WE should take time to inquire the
reason for this dissolving scene" He
argued that the events which are
beyond our control are of moral sig
nificance.
When men heard of the northern
disaster, instantly their minds raised
the question, Had God anything to do
with it? An atheistic world and an
apostate church were quick with their
reply in the negative. 1t was explained
as originating in purely natural causes.
According to certain thinkers we are
shut up to one of two hypothesis, that
an avenging deity did it. or the pecu-
liar condition of the earth wholly ac-
counts for it.
To think of wrathful God in con-
neCIlOIl Will II is IGNOlllllS, lol Sou 10
love- He wouldn't do thing like that.
1t was some natural law.
Now. if this be the reasoning that
God could not be the author of the
earthquake because he is a God of love,
what is to be said of an Almighty God
with nature of love failing to step in
between the creatures of his love and
natural law, and failing to control that
law in favor of man? If the San Fran
cisco horror is to be attributed to
"purely natural causes" then may we
not contend in all reverence that God
should have prevented it? What would
be said of an engineer driving his train
onto a broken bridge and carrying hu-
man freight to destruction if he could
prevent it? When men conclude un-
scripturally concerning disasters they
involve the worshipers of God in
trouble.
BY explaining the recent event on
lines of rationalism, we are exposed to
the charge of worshiping a God of love
who is Indifferent to his creatures, or a
God who is mastered by his own laws
and cannot deliver from peril those
whom he loves.
1--WE repudiate the rationalistic po-
sition." said Pastor Smale. 1--WE believe
God was in the earthquake and we be-
lieve in God as God of love, and we
can see in the truth that he is God
of love an argument for his presence
in the earthquake"

MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEATH
Police Investigate Supposed Suicide Of
John WeIter-Believe Man
Was Murdered

Headquarters detectives are lnVestl-
eating the mysterious death of john
Welter who was found at the Santa
Rosa hotel, Fourth and San Pedro
Streets Saturday night with gaping
wound in his neck. When the body
was discovered, it was dangling from
q bedpost suspended by strap which
had evidently been taken fro ma tele-
scope valiSe.
Although there are indications of sui
eide, other circumstances point strongly
to murder, say the police. Blood
stained clothing was found near the
window. The artery on the left side
of the neck was completely severed.
This would have caused death in hve
minutes, according to surgeons. The
investigation by the police showed that
the man was dressed when his neck
was cut. The razor lay on dresser,
six feet from the bed. An open wins
dow led to fire escape, by which the
supposed murderer might have easily
effected his departure after killing
Welter.
No Motive for Murder
Welter was about go years of age
and roomed at the hotel since Feb
ruary 10. Little was known about him.
He seemed to have no friends or enc
mics, as far as was known. When his
body was found. there was 80 cents
in the pockets. No motive for murder
is known by the police. If 1t was
suicide the man must harf had re-
markable vitality and fort noe, say
physicians
Surgeons say that he must have
bound up his wound with handler-
Schief after severlng the artery. and
then taken the straps from the bag
and knotted them about his neck. Al
ter that he had to tie one end of the
strap about the headboard and let him.
self drop to the floor.
The attending physician says he can
not conceive how a man with such a
wound could have done all those things.
More evidence that may help clear the
mystery will be presented to the coro-
ner's jury this morning.

of skepticisn, unbelief and doubt In
reference to their effect upon the un-
believer, Mr.. Walters said;
Before l became one of the follow
ers of Christ 1 was skeptic, a doubter.
First it had the effect OF keeping me
away from the men and women or the
church, whose work was to build and 10
rebuild character. These men ana
women, these people who alleviate suf-
fering and whose homes reflect love,
were not of my acquaintance. Then
skepticism took me into the social vices
OF the age: | was thrown into the conf
pany of men who believed 1t necessary
for a man to drink in order to ENJOY
the living of life.
"And last of all skepticism gave me
the cause Nor my losing battle with
John Barleycorn; 1t made me at war
with my conscience. But the time
came. as 1t will to everyone, when |
had the opportunity to see God ara
have seen him. Before | had be-
lieved with Ingersol that life was the
valley between two peaks, the craGte
and the grave: now 1t is the eternal
river flowing through garden of roses
and emptying into an ocean OF love-
God"
After Mr. Walters had spoken, VIII
A. Harris made few remarks, eulogl1-
ing the work of the Murphys and in
viting them all to live in Los Angeles.
For" he said. 1--WE love you and your
good work is needed wherever there is

Francis Murphy's son Edward spoke
last night for his father at Blanchard
hall.
After speaking in his inimitable way,
the venerable Mr.. Murphy introduced
his son, who made few remarks on
his fathers work here and in other
cities.
One of the many good things he said
in the course Of his remarks was that
there never had been a city in the
United States that had suffered great
calamity but what it had been rebuilt

SHALL WE HAVE A
 HIGH SALOON LICENSE?

i At the meeting of the city council on Tuesday night of this week pc tition was presented by the retail liquor dealers of Bisbee praying that the recent license of s125 per quar- ter be reduced. and that the license tax be graded as betwen the small re tail liquor dealers and the large sa- looms where gambling games are con ducted and the bar receipts are greater.
 For the reason that no quorum was present at the meeting on Tuesday night the petition of the liquor deal CTS was laid on the table.
 The saloon business in all cities, and especially Bisbee, is a luxury. The profits are enormous, and the same rules that apply in fixing other license taxes are never brought to bear on this class of business. Again, the sale of intoxicating liquors breeds expenses in the administration of the city government. An unnecessary number of saloons in a community requires extra police surveillance, es- pecially the saloon dive frequented by tough characters. Bisbee has been slow in raising the saloon licenses, and now that the amount has been fixed at s125 per quarter, the city council will not be following out the wishes of great majority of the peo- pie of the community if steps are taken looking toward a reduction at this early date.
 It is argued by some saloon men that the high license fixed by the council will mean the closing of some of the saloons. All right, let them close. They won't be missed. Bis bee needs increased revenue for the proper maintenance of a city govern nent. It is proper and fitting that the luxuries, and those reveling in luxuries, should pay the tax.

WAR ON THE BOSS IN POLITICS.

Hostility to the political boss, and to gang rule in politics, was the force which, in Pennsylvania last fall, elect ed the Democrat. Berry, State Treas nrer of Pennsylvania by plurality of SS.000, thus more than overcoming the plurality of 505,000 which the State gave to Roosevelt the year be- fore
 Hostility, to these same evil factors in the politics of the times is the force behind the action of the State convention of Pennsylvania Demo crats which, the other day, nominated the State ticket previously put for ward by the so-called Lincoln party, which is the new reform party in Pennsylvania
 The revolt against the corrupt Re publican machine in Pennsylvania was started this year by Republicans, but the new reform party is drawing to itself men of all parties who hate the political gangster and the political boss as the foes of good government and of decency in public life.
 These men look upon the political machine as the juggernaut which crushes the life out of good citizen ship. and they are organizing to smash the machine in Pennsylvania. as Yates is trying to smash it in Hi nois, and as Democrats are preparing to smash it in every State in which it shows itself.
 The Democrats of Pennsylvania, adopting their own platform of Demo cratic principles, have done well to fuse, OF its nominees, with the anti machine party. In the present tenn per of the people, vigorous campaign against the conscienceless Republican ring will be likely to win in Pennsyl- vsnia. The political boss is already marked for destruction in nearly every State.

THAT REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING.

Yesterday was a day of explana. lions in Cochise county within the ranks of the G. O. P. The new chair man, Mir. c. I. McReynolds, was a busy man, and none the less were the other members of the quartette who met in room I of the Copper Queen hotel, and, with pocketful of proxies, proceeded to fill vacancies, elect off cers, and transact other official busi- ness all to their liking.
 Republicans who were in the city from outside towns, for the purpose of attending the meeting, returned to their several precincts in no pleasant frame of mind. They are not silent regarding what they term a "despic- able piece of machine politics" be- cause of the fact that the meeting was held at place known to only four members of the committee. or to be more correct, only three mem bers of the committee, and the "gal- lery."
 on yesterday it was stated that the proxies from Douglas were sent to Bis. bee under direct instructions to cast the same for R. A. Kirk for chair. nan, and that these instructions were ecntemptuously ignored.
 Members of the committee in Bis bee were loud in their denunciation Of the rush orders" issued by some. one who had an axe to grind, and in the wild attempt to obey orders sey- eral Republicans, members of the committee, who were in the Conner Queen hotel at the time the meeting was being held, were not allowed to enter at the doors of Room No. I.
 The result of the whole proceedings has been to stir up hornets nest within the ranks of the G. o. P. and no amount of explaining can excuse the fact that a meeting was called of the Republican Central Committee Tor purpose known only to a few, and the remainder of the committee were not even advised of the place of meeting.
