REFUGEES DENY
UDELL'5 CHARGES
FIND NO SHORTAGE IN FUNDS
FOR THEIR RELIEF
President of Organization Says Suit
Has No Backing-TWenty New
Members Eprolled and
Officers Chosen

AT the meeting of the San Francisco
Refueee association held last night in
Mammoth hall, M. H. shepherd, the
president, stated that one of the op-
iects of the meeting was to puphciS
refute the statement made by Ava
ITdell who has recently instituted a
s,lit against the citizens relief commit
tee. composed of several of the leaolns
members of the chamber of commerce.
for an alleged shortage of the tunos
placed in their care for the benenu Oh
refugees and relief work.
In this complaint made by Alva Udeil
he asserts that in taking action against
the relief committee, ne represents
10000 fellow refugees.
Mr. Shepherd says this was an ap-
solute falsehood, so far as Los Angeles
refugees are concerned, and if there are
ten thousand whom he represents, Mr..
Shepherd said he did not know where
they we're to be found.
The meeting had no other important
significance further than the election OF
officers to fill vacancies made by re-
cent designations. Mrs. Sarah e. Fox
was elected treasurer of the associa-
ton to succeed DR.. F. G. Baird. Mrs.
J. 2. Watson was appointed acting sec
retary to succeed Mrs. Althouse, who
resigned on account of leaving for the
north.
President Shepherd stated last night
that the citizens relief committee had
asked the association to formulate
plans for the best distribution of funds
now on hand by the committee which
amounts to several thousand dollars
The audience attending the meeting
last night was the largest that has yet
been known at such occasions of the
association, and twenty new members
were enrolled
An entertainment and dance has been
arranged to take place under the aus
pices of the association October in

METHODISTS ARE
STIRRED BY CASE
Rev. Mr.. Ferguson Declares He Would
Rather Give Up Ministry Than
Mrs. Laekey-May Do
Both

1t seems that Methodist circles are
doomed to be wrought UP shortly be-

Mr. Bell in deserting his wife. and
this year It is a Methodist clergyman
deserting his betrothed bride almost at
the eleventh hour before the wedding
who have aroused interest.
The announcement that the contem-
plated wedding of Rev. Wilbert p. Fer
guson, pastor of the Methodist church,
to Mrs. Maud V. Lackey, which was
to have occurred Wednesday evening,
would not take place caused great
stir in church circles, and when 1t was
understood that the affair had been
broken off by Rev. Mr. Ferguson gem
eral indignation was expressed.
When the engagement was an
nounced more than a year ago 1t also
caused much talk in church circles, as
Mrs. Lackey was divorced. At the
time of the divorce Rev. Mr.. Fergu-
son was Mrs. Lackey's pastor and ex-
tended to her the usual PASTORAL con-
ISOLATION. A short time later his wife
died and within year the engagement
was announced.
Would Desert Ministry
1t is understood that Rev. Mr.. Fer
guson repeatedly said that he would
give up the ministry rather than not
wed Mrs Lackey
Mrs. Lackey is a prominent young
woman and is popular In church cir
cles. She is the daughter of DR.. and
Mrs f. f. Corbin, also well known in
church circles. Her first marriage
was an unfortunate affair
The enga cement caused a division
in the Redlands church and Rev. Mr..
Ferguson has been transferred to the
Nebraska conference and will assume
charge of the church at Lincoln, Neb.,
for an unexpired term. 1t is said,
however that he will leave the min
istry.
When seen in the city few days
ago he told his friends that he intended
going east and gathering his family
of children, who have been cared for
by his sisters and the sisters of his
deceased wife, and that they would
live at Lincoln; also that he intended
taking the remains of his wife east
for interment. At that time he said
nothing of his plans for his marriage,
which was to have been held within
the week.
When seen last evening DR.. Corbin
refused to make any statement re-
garding the subject and said that he
would take the stand of Christian
and forgive and forget.

ADDRESS OF MRS. NEvA c.
chill DS-ARCADIA CHAMPION

Before starting on my topic / wish
to ask our worthy secretary to tell
this audience the names of the person
or persons on the program committee
who assigned to me the subject of "The
Press and Temperance"
On their heads. then, be the conse-
quences of starting woman to talk
ing OF her fad. for there's never any
telling what she will say or when she
will stop.
At first thought the subject seemed
an easy one TO handle, but the longer
/ studied it and the more colsely
applied II TO the State Press of Florida
and just now we are most interested
here at home-the more difficult be-
came my task.
To tell of the wonderful influence
of the press on temperance as we'll as
IN all other lines is easy. We have
heard so often that the pen is mightieF
than the sword that the set phrases
that are usually applied naturally fol-
low in your T'r'-d. so l spare myself
the trouble of repetition.
But, say. didn't the state press get
a rough jolt when our present gov
ernor got elected without them, OF
rather, in spite of them? To be sure
about a bakers dozen of we smaller
fry were doing all in our power &c
elect him, but our combined circula-
ton probably did not go above 10000
and we are not so egotistical as 10 be-
lieve we did it. That fact leads US tC
the conclusion that the press of Flor
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1906-06-01

they contain. They should be most
valued for the editorial utterances
that are in the ideal newspaper the
trumpet call to battle for decency. JUS
tice and temperance. Only by such
bravery can we hope to regain our lost
prestige and lead instead OF follow.
There is no use trying to take
neutral position on any of the great
moral question of the day. To do so is
to lose the confidence of both good
and bad, for however depraved a man
may be he loves and respects most
the person who shows him his faults
and works for his reform. The press
of Florida need not fear to talk tenn
perance lest it hurt their pocetbooks
or influence. 1t win do neither, but
rather the reverse. Even if it were not
so, if we wou1e lead the people We
must be brave, true and righteous. and
to be all these is better than wealth OF
honor.
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1906-06-01

OF the state. Through its advocacy OF
methods, discussion of educational
questions and pointing out the condi-
tons Of things in school instruction,
the press brings to the minds OF pa
rents and public men the intellectual
needs of the children. Without these
reminders, those in charge of youth
would become neglectful and schools
would cease or lapse into unprogressive
routine. Without the agitation of news
papers, many parents would become
ayaricious of the earning capacity be-
longing to them for intellectual devel-
opment in the schools. BY creating and
maintaining public sentiment in favor
of public schools, legislatures are in
duced TO appropriate literally OF taxes
to their support, and the people to
give freely and willingly OF their in
dividual time and means for their
maintenance and improvement. With
out the allegiance of the press, the
public school systems of the state and
counties would have been far behind
what they are now. When the press is
negligent of education, the public for
getfully deprive the children of their
birthright. AS the people look to the
newspaper for the public discussion OF
all questions, those discussed by them
prominently engage the popular mind !;
so by giving prominence TO discussion
of educational topics the press indi-
rectly assists in the education OF the
children. BY advocating them and
arousing the consciences of the masses
in that direction the newspapers in
directly build better school houses,
furnish better teachers, equipments,
supervision, systems. longer terms,
larger salaries for those who teach and
more time and opportunity for children
to attend school.
The press, because of it's universal
and dominating influence. owes to the
educational elements of society loyal,
definite, pronounced and unremitting
championship And we, as wielders of
the press, should personally feel that
il is one of our important duties to
foster education and do all in our
province to encourage, build up, draw
out and cultivate TO their fullest ex-
tent the minds Of the young.
