mission held last evening resolutions OF

we record our appreciation of him.
Therefore, Be it resolved that the wis
dom and ability which Clarence A. Mil
Ter has exercised in the conduct of our
commission work by counsel and serv-
ice, will be held in grateful remember
ance, and that the removal of such
man from our board leaves a vacancy
that will be deeply felt by all the MEN,
bers, and will prove grievous loss to
this city and the public.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize
with the afflicted widow and relatives
of our deceased friend, and tender them
our sincere condolences in their be-
reavement.
Be it further resolved, That copy of
this resolution be spread in full upon

FIND ANOTHER WcTIM's BODY
Madison, Opposite St. Louis, Is Scene
OF Second Recent Mysterious
Murder

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. May 16.-The head
less body of a man was found today in
a cesspool In the rear of a Madison
Qll.) saloon, not far from where John
Hickey. an overland traveller 70 Okla
homa, was sandbagged and led last
week.
The absence of the head, il is be-
lieved, indicates that the man was
by an injury to the head, and
1t was removed to prevent identifca-
ton.
The body evidently had lain in the
cesspool for several months.

DOLLY PHILLIPS FINDS
HERSELF IN SAD PLIGHT
PROMISE OF A HOME IN THIS
CITY NOT KEPT
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Fisk Are Accused
of Failing to Fulfill Certain obIi-
cations Assumed by Them Toward
the Young Woman

Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Fisk, who brought
Dolly Phillips, a young woman afflicted
with asthma, from Fort Worth, Tex, to
Los Angeles, with the promise of giving
her home, have put themselves on the
black books of the Associated Charities
ON account of their alleged failure to
fulfill their obligations, the officials de-
clare.
The girl applied to the Associated
Charities for transportation to Fort
Worth.
She wished to be sent to the Fort
Worth Benevolent home of which she
had been an inmate from the time of
her birth until she was brought here by
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisk. The young woman
did the housework while Mr.. Fisk
found employment with the Armour
Packing company, and Mrs. Fisk gave
lessons in painting.
Sent to Ransome Home
Things went smoothly enough under
this arrangement until a few weeks
after their arrival, when Miss Phillips
suffered a severe attack of asthma and
they sent her to Mrs. Woods, natron OF
the Ransome home, it is stated.
The Associated Charities called upon
the Fisks, who live at 523 Matthews
street, Boyle Heights, and asked them,
it is stated, to defray the expense of re-
turning the girl to Texas, her legal
residence. This, it is alleged, they re-
fused to do. Steps will be taken to
compel the Fisks to pay for the girlss
transportation to Fort Worth, say the
Charities officials.

Need 500 Volunteers

At least 500 earnest workers are need
ed to cover the field and solicit sub
scriptions to the fund. There is every
reason to believe that there are a great
many persons in Los Angeles who are
willing to subscribe, but who are not
likely to do so unless they are waited
upon and personally solicited. II the
directors are compelled to rely upon
their own efforts, these persons cannot
be seen, and consequently a large
amount of money which otherwise
would be added to the fund will be lost
to the association.
When it is considered that the sew
enteen members of the board of di-
rectors already have subscribed $3.50, 300,
or about half the total amount asked
for, II will be seen that the share which
the people of Los Angeles are requested
to bear in this matter is not burden
some. 1t is believed that a little eff
fort properly directed will be all that
is necessary to complete the fund.
Several of the leading business and
professional men of Los Angeles have
subscribed liberal sums. but many more
have not vet done so, and it now re-
mains for the association workers to get
the names of these on the list and con-
vince them that the material and moral
to be gained from the erec-
toin of such building will be well
worth all the effort and money ex-
pended for the purpose.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-17

According to the report issued by the
executive building campaign committee
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion at q. O'Clock last night, there still
remains about $4,000 to be raised to
complete the building fund of $35O0OO
The limit for the campaign expires at
103O o'clock next Monday night, and
consequently only four working days
remain in which to do this work.
The directors of the association real
ize that the task ahead of them is a big
one, but they are bending every energy
to it's successful accomplishment. Many
of them will devote practically all of
their time from now until next Mon
day night to the work of wiping out
the deficiency and of securing for Los
Angeles a Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION building that will not only be
adequate to the needs of the organi-
zation but credit to the city as well.
To accomplish this purpose, however,
the assistance of large force of vol
unteers will be needed. 1t will be
physically impossible for the directors
of the association and leaders in the
movement to do all that is required.

KICKERS.
Mr.. Edutor:


spoon if sum people woodn't kick
if they was goin' to the worlds
fare in one of them muleless
buggies-it's either too durn hot or
else it's too blame cold. Some fell
lers are too mouthy or else they
don't no huff to say anythin'.
Farmer Hayseed says that this
wet spell is Dustin his crop all to
thunder, an Mr.. Pumpin says it's
fine cause it's kept his old cow in
good drinkin' water an she hasn't
bothered him, only that it keeps
him milkin all the hull time.
MI. Grass Dealer, Esq, says this
has bin the first time sinse the last
time that he has been able to deal
in green goods hull season
without steelin' from Mr.. Barn
yard. Mr.. Hog is herd to COM
plain that the prices are not high
enuff for him, an he has only been
able to keep his he'd above
bankrupsy by lettin' his goods
soak up all the water they Good SO
as to make them way.
Now, sum people are never
satisfied, they are all the time
kickin' just to here themselves.
I no that sum fellers have gull
durn good ear fur musick an if
they didn't kick all the time they
woodn't here those melodious
sounds that come from the organs
of Imagination. I tell you them
organs that turn out good stuff I
like to here myself, but them
organs that grind out the strains
from members of the kickers
ISOLATION give me pain round the
hart. Yes, they do. It sounds
like noise made by bagpipe at
funeral, specially if the wind bag
is leaky. I spose we can't be to
hard on kickers cause they can't
help it, for they were growed that
way.
Again, we here sum kickin,
cause white feIlers can't work
down in Panamaw. They say
people die down there, that work.
Now, that beets the Dutch, cause
fellers that lives in this part of the
country die whether they work or
not, so what is the difference if they
die to work down there or work to
die UP here? The only vantage [
can see is that the hot weather
down there will help season them
for a warmer place maybe. There's
is nothin' like gettin' climatized.
No, there haint. There is nothin'
like gettin onto the job of shovel
lin, cause it may come in handy
you no.
In that family paper of yourn
several weeks ago one chap grum-
bled cause another Teller was
runnin' down tramps, an he told
us that from his personal expert
ence they were a noble bunch of
fellers, and the week after a nuther
one of them ritters of yourn made
fun at the hoboes friend, an so it
goes. Now them fellers are not
kickers, but they are jest tryin' to
get in praktise SO they can kick,
that's all.
Then you jest look at that war
in Russia. The Jews are kickin'
cause the Russians are wipin' the
earth with them and the Russian
fellers are kickin' cause there isn't
more earth to be wiped. Well, it's
too bad to think there are 80 many
kickers in the world, but Of course
me and you haint any Of the
kickers, of course not.

anew only to encounter personal
opposition from the police or from
private detective agencies. which
hold "once criminal, always q
criminal" From the very nature
of things, when it is impossible to
secure employment under such
circumstances, the ordinary man
or woman is driven back into the
surroundings that were his or hers
when first punished. Thus the
wretched one often is driven into
the habitual criminal class, and it
becomes only a matter of time
until the parole has been violated
and he or she is back in prison.
Others who have emerged from
the prison walls have been able to
secure employment, but only to
be turned up months later as
sex-convicts," which means usually
summary dismissal.
These are the two essential
points in which the parole system
has failed in the estimation of the
present state administration, and it
is to correct this that the states
own free employment agencies are
to be called into service. At the
penitentiaries at Joliet, Chester,
and at the reformatory at Pontiac,
the inmates are taught practically
all of the duties of mechanics and
artisans. After a prison or re-
formatory term the man or boy
returns to the world fairly we'll
equipped for labor, or, if he has
shown marked ability in the
higher branches, for clerical work
or the earlier steps of business
training. The fact that he has
been paroled or has expiated his
punishment, under the terms OF
the 1ndeterminate sentence law is
taken as a token that the exper-
fence gained within prison walls
has been such as to keep him
within the straight and narrow
path so long as he can earn an
honest living. Working on this
theory, the free employment agen-
cies, which furnish employment to
hundreds of men and women daily,
have been called into requisition.
William Fl. Cruden, superlnten-
dent of the south side state en-
ployment Office, is working out
the details of the plan of Governor
Deneen, and expresses the utmost
confidence in the ultimate result.
II have been in communication
with Warden Murphy at Joliet,
with Warden Smith at Chester,
and with Superintendent Mallary
at Pontiac with regard to this
phase of the matter, and [ find
them enthusiastic" said Mr.. Cru
den yesterday. 'There is to be
the utmost cooperation between
the officers of the penal and reform
atory institutions and the officials
of our Offices.
"This plan does not mean that
the men whom we may be able to
get into honest and satisfactory
employment will start on their
jobs branded as ex-convicts.
There are many firms in Chicago
that would be glad to extend a
helping hand to this class of men.
If our plans are carried out there
will be mutual protection to both
the employee and the employed.

no objection to our plan. If a

P0staiyy-AHatude.

An attitude is an expression of
internal feeling by that disposition
of the limbs which is naturally
suited to such an expression. A
posture designates no more than
the visible position of the body.
We therefore speak of a horizontal
posture, an erect posture. or a
sleeping posture: and of an atti-
tude of despair, an attitude of
melancholy. If painter wished
to represent figure in an attitude
of devotion, he would draw him
in kneeling posture, with joined,
outstretched hands, and eyes up
lifted to heaven. An attitude
always implies expression; a
posture, in itself, has none. The
attitude is the posture, with ex-
preston.
