A CALL TO THE REV. DIR. HERALD.
A Baptist Flock Becomes UndenominatiOnal
70 Secure Him as Pastor.

The Rev. Or. Charles Herald, who recently
resigned the pastorate OF the Bethesda
Congregational Church in Brooklyn, has
received a unanimous call to the vacant
pulpit Of the independent Grace Gospel
Church at cambridge street and Saratoga
avenue, and it is expected that he will 40
cept it. Although the Grace Church is an
independent church and not associated
with the Baptist denomination, it has,
both by a clause in the deed of the property
and by the rules Of the manual, provided
admission to membership should be by
immersion. This rule will probably not
prevent the acceptance Of the call by DR..
Herald, for yesterday the trustees Issued
this statement:
The seeming i~nsurmountable Difficult
ties were got rid Of and the church as il
now stands will be an undenominahonal
me-, with the mode Of baptism left to the
discretion Of the applicant for membership,
and will welcome to it's fellowship men,
bers Of the other evangelical churches
and also those who commence the Christian
life under It's ministrations.'
Since his retirement from the Bethesda
Congregational Church DR.. Herald has been
officiating at the Grace Church, and many
members OF the old flock have been among
the attendants. He said yesterday that
he would give careful consideration to
the call.

MEDIUMS WORK
WITH GAMBLERS
FAKE MEDIUMS GIVE TIPS ON THE
MARKET
Police Will Follow UP the Expose
of Spiritualists and Keep
Them in LmeIight of
Publicity

Following a sensational expose of
Elsie Reynolds, said to be a fake ma
terializing medium, the police will try
to secure additional evidence to show
that the mediums are working in col
lusion with bucketshops and are used
as lures to entice their patrons to buy
stock in some security on which the
medium gives a straight tip" that
there is to be a strong advance.
There is apparently no California law
to touch women giving fake seances,
but, according to Captain Broadhead,
there will be continual publicity given
to such women and several detectives
will work to secure additional evidence
that such mediums and unscrupulous
stock brokers work in collusion.
While there are many brokers doing
a legitimate business in the city, the
police claim that there are others who
are working a graft, pure and simple,
and evidence is being secured to use
in connection with the probable arrest
of such brokers who operate bucket
shops where the orders are never placed
on any stock exchange but simply
"bucketed" in the office.
Several of the police said yesterday
that there would be some startling evil
dence in such cases and that the al
legged collusion between fake mediums
and bucketshops would be only one
phase of the question.

BOLD THIEF MAKES GETAWAY
Steals Piece of Lead Weighing One
Hundred Pounds and Gives
Owner the Slip

An understood man stopped his di-
lapidated rig in front of the plumbing
establishment of Roeder Brothers, 1888
South Main street, yesterday afternoon
and without more ado picked up a
lump of lead worth about $S and threw
it into his wagon.
By the time the salesman had re-
covered from his astonishment at this
abrupt proceeding the unidentified thief
was whipping up his horse in the direc-
ton of Seventeenth street.
One of the firm jumped into another
vehicle and started in hot pursuit.
Before he reached the thief the latter
had met a pal of his and had thrown
the lead into the others wagon.
When the representative of Roeder
Brothers drew his horse alongside the
wagon of the Hebrew peddler, there
was nothing in the cart but few rags.
He was in a quandary. 1t certainly
would not do to arrest a man on sus-
picion without the goods as evidence
and the peddler was allowed to go his
way. However, the police were noti-
fed to be on the lookout for a peddler
of small size, with a black beard.
The lump of lead taken weighed about
100 pounds. No arrest was made up to
late hour last night.

EAST INDIAN
MAKES RECORD
WALKS FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO
LOS ANGELES
Interesting Native of Calcutta Who
Landed In City jail Tells Story
of Travels Covering Twenty
six Thousand Miles

A little molasses- -colored East Indian,
a native of Calcutta, who has found
shelter at the Salvation Army Indus
trial home on East First street, holds
the record for tramping from San
Francisco to Los Angeles.
He covered the entire distance in
fifteen days and nights, making an
average of over thirty-three miles a
day.
Of course there is nothing to cor
roborate the claim of Allah Rajah, but
his simple statement, in quaint mono
syllable English is made without
boasting and in a manner that carries
conviction.
His feat of endurance might be used
as an argument by the vegetarians,
for he is a Mahommedan and does not
eat meat.
Physically. Allah Rajah is remark
able specimen. He is under medium
height and slight of build, yet deep
chested with tapering waist that a
woman of fashion might envy. She
might also envy his small and shapely
wrist and hand and rounded forearm.
He is as straight as an arrow and his
1.-THE body suggests the strength and
agility of the panther. His complexion
is rich brown, being darker than a
Childish candor looks out from his
black eyes and his shapely mouth is
good to behold.
Another extraordinary journey lies
in the experience of Allah Rajah. Nine
months ago he left Calcutta on a sail
ing vessel and in that time has travelled
$4,000 miles, visiting Jamaica, e. l.,
London, Eng, Antwerp, Belgium Lis
bon, Portugal; Chilli, South America
and San Francisco, coming from the
latter place to Los Angeles.
Allah Rajah has been a sailor since
a boy of twelve and he is now twenty
two
His first experience in Los Angeles
was to fall a victim to police stupidity
and be arrested while coming from a
Salvation Army meeting, He was
thrown in Jail in spite of his protesta-
tions of innocence, to spend the night
among felons.
The following day he was released
and had not gone far before he was
grabbed by another Hawkshaw of the
local force and rushed back to the po-
lice station. What might have been
the unhappy fate of the friendless child
of the east but for the fact that he
was found by the big captain" as he
reverently calls Captain Campbell of
the lndustrlal nome, 1t would be hard
to tell. He was taken to this shelter
for men who are down, where he has
been two weeks, happily working in
the salvage department.
'By and by, maybe I go to Arizona
where big gentlemans say get plenty
of jobs" he said. When asked if he
would not go back to his home in India,
he shook his head mournfully and said;
my father, my mother dead. No
body say to me: My child come home,
so 1 go here and go there"
Allah Rajah is eager to secure work.
He says he can do "anysings." Candi-
date C. C. Wilson, who has charge of
the home during Captain Campbelrs
absence in the east, says the boy is in
dustrious and obliging.

WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK
Interpreter Has Troubles of His Own
Attempting to Translate Evil
dence in Court

When j. M. Halopoulos went before
Justice Austin yesterday, charged with
disturbing the peace, it was discovered
that the defendant spoke little Eng
lish and that his native tongue was
Greek, not of the Homeric vintage, but
rather that spoken by the residents of
the little isle of Crete.
With considerable difficulty a Greek
interpreter was secured and the man
was sworn to translate Greek to Eng
lish and vice versa.
The interpreter discoursed in the
language of Athens and the Aoropoiis
and with difficulty managed to make
himself intelligible to the defendant.
But when the interpreter tried to
make himself understood in his pc
culiar broken English the prosecuting
attorney threw up his hands.
II am afraid that his English is
worse than the Greek of Halopoulos,
your honor" he remarked.
After trying to instil some legal ques-
tions through the medium of the inter
prefer who could not interpret, the de-
fendant was allowed to tell his own
story as best he could.
He received a fine of $5, which was
promptly paid. The interpreter re-
ceived nothing.

DEPARTMENT MAY YET PARADE
Fire Chief Lips Consents to Certain
Pieces of Apparatus Joining
PAGEANT

It is entirely probable that at least a
portion of the fire department will pa
rade in the coming Fiesta. The question
was brought up before the fire commits
sion yesterday morning and an effort
made by Commissioners Betouski and
Wren to induce Acting Mayor Summer
land to vote for a turnout of the fire
department for the parade.
Mr.. Summerland was reluctant to vote
and asked that the question be laid
over until Mayor McAleer returns. Fire
Chief Lips stated that the mayor had
expressed a willingness that two en-
CINE companies, two hose companies,
two chemicals, the water tower and
the chiefs buggy be in the parade,
but believed that was sufficient to make
a showing and leave the other depart
ments for emergency calls.
The Fiesta committee will appropriate
5000 for the decorations for the fire
department.
