MEETING HOUR is CHANGED
Police Commission Will Now Have
Less Time for Star Chamber
Sessions

Tired of being roasted for it's dila-
tory habits, the police commission yes
terday changed it's meeting hour from
$3.50 to 8 o'clock Tuesday mornings and
protestants and petitioners will here
after be notified to appear at that hour
The time scheduled for the meetings
of the police commission has been $50
o'clock ever since that body was or
ganized, but not once in the history of
the present commission has the board
got together before that hour 1t is
generally 10 or 1920 o'clock before the
public session is held, although the
commissioners invariably hold star
chamber sessions in the mayors pri-
vate office previous to that time.
This action of the commission in de-
laying it's meetings has occasioned
considerable complaint among those
who are notified to attend these meet
ings at $3.50 o'clock, as they are fire.

BISHOP HAMILTON SPEAKS
God, Not Big Salaries, Call Preachers
Declares San Francisco
preIate

Bishop ]. w. Hamilton of San Fran
cisco addressed the students of .. 5: G.
Yesterday morning on the subject, "The
Ministry as a Life Work"
ministers are called, not by churches
nor by a $4,000 salary, but by God" the
bishop said in the course of his re-
marks.
Bishop Hamilton said that everyone
has a calling in life, and unless he
hears and obeys this call his life is
sure to be a failure.
He cited instances of several promi-
nent statesmen who had attained high
positions from a worldly standpoint
who, however, thought they had been
called to preach and considered their
lives failures because they didn't obey
the calls.
Friday evening the Y. w c. A. of the
university will hold pillow and picture

new north wing of the building. Not
long ago the girls of the university
assisted in furnishing the trophy room

returning their kindness.
On Saturday evening the Athena Lit

WOULD GROW
TOBACCO HERE
EXPERT THINKS 1T WILL FLOUR
ISH IN STATE
Pioneer Who Has Won Prizes Believes
Industry Can Be Revived in Call
forna and With Support Will
Make the Experiment

The tobacco raising and curing in
dustry which has been obsolete IN
Southern California for years is apoul
TO be revived by George S. Spiker, one
of the best informed tobacco raising
and curing experts of the country:
1t is believed that it is possible to
raise an excellent quality of tobacco
in Southern California and in view OF
the remarkable success of Sptker in
raising tobacco in this vicinity many
years ago it would seem entirely pos
sible.
Mr. Spiker first came to Los Angeles
in 1869 and started to raise Tobacco
He found a ready sale for his product
because of the superior method of cur
ing the tobacco and of manufacturing
the cigars and he had many of the most
prominent of the Los Angeles pioneers
among his customers.
One of Mr.. Spiker's best patrons was
Mr.. Dockweiler, father of Isadore b.
Dockweiler. Mr.. Spiker remained here
until 1880, when he went to Guatemala
where he raised tobacco. After he had
been there three years the revolution
became so warm that he left and Went
to Sacramento and afterward worked
for a short time as a cigar maker at
San Francisco.
Last year he took the first prize of
the California Horticultural society for
Turkish tobaccos and also for Havana
tobaccos.
Mr.. Spiker tells an interesting story
of the wild tobacco growing along the
Sacramento river valleys. The ranch
ers know nothing of curing tobacco, but
they pick it and hang it up to dry ana
then smoke it. Mr.. Spiker says that II
is good tobacco when cured, but that
it is small of leaf and torn by the
winds.
Mr.. Spiker returned to Los Angeles
with the hope of going into the tobacco
raising business in this vicinity. He
says excellent tobacco may be raised
here and that much depends upon the
method of curing.
Mr.. Spiker has some Havana to-
baccos which he says he can put into
sandy soil here and with the aid of a
little irrigation he can raise tobacco OF
an excellent quality which is good for
either wrappers or filters. The pioneer
saws he is confident that the tobacco
industry may be revived here and car
ried on with a profit if undertaken
bv one familiar with the methods. II
Mr.. Spiker succeeds in interesting some
one in his venture who will help finan-
cially to some extent, he will start
at once.
He also was for several years in
Australia where he was the manager of
a large tobacco plantation for COM
pany, but he wanted to return to Amer
lea and he gave up the business for
that purpose He was with Mr.. DAVIS
in Pasadena for several months curing
the crops belonging to the latter.

WOMAN BARBER
LOSES IN COURT
BROKEN EYE GLASSES EXTENT
OF HER LOSS
Did They Fall or Were They Pushed
off One of the Problems
Before Judge in Bat
terry Case

Peace once more reigns in the "fe-
male barber shop at 109 East First
street.
Proprietor Albert Gilman, against
whom Mrs. w. H. Lee, one of the ton
sorial artists" made complaint for bat
terry, was vindicated in court yes
terday.
Mrs. Lee brought up the rear, after
vainly trying to get out another COM
plant against her former employer.
When the case was called for trial
before Justice Chambers yesterday the
court room was crowded with regular
customers of the LADY BARRIERS"
Mrs Lee testified that the defendant
had treated her as mo lady should be
treated"
He struck me on the face and broke
my glasses" the witness said, wrath
fully, land then L gave him one swipe
before l left and made his eye look like
a bum lamp"
Slang Not Needed
The court ordered that the testimony
should be confined to what actually
took place and suggested that slang
did not help.
Mrs. Lee was tasefully arrayed in a
gray suit and had a new pair of
glasses.
II was ready enough to quit" con-
tinued the complaining witness. Il
guess 1 know how to treat my GUS
toners and I expect to always be
treated as a lady"
The next witness for the prosecution,
Lottie Fitz, was most unwilling. IL
took the combined efforts of Justice
Chambers and Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Eddy to extract her story.
She said she was busy with Gus
toner and did not dare to look around
for fear of cutting her patient, who
lay profusely covered with lather.
About all she knew was that Mr..
Gilman did not deserve the black eye
that was bestowed.
ForeWoman to Rescue
Miss Blanche Morgan, the foreman,
proved a star witness.
First of all l want to say that l
object to my name being used in this
case" said the witness. settling back
in the chair with a determined jerk.
81 want it understood that Mrs. Lee
never made kick about anybody KISS
ing me. / am not that kind!
"As for her, well. let me tell you that
Mrs. Lee used to work on one customer
for more than two hours. There is the
man now that she was operating on
when the fuss began" said Miss Nor
gan, pointing to a man in the rear OF
the court room, who s1rank timidly
from the limelight of publicity.
With difficulty the witness was made
to forget her own wrongs. She was
sure that Gilman had not struck Mrs.
Lee. If her glasses flew off, either she
did it on purpose or else they fell Off
because the wearer was so mad.
Mrs. Lee had struck Mr.. Gilman right
on the eye, said the witness, and she
averred that all the girls We're glad to
see Mrs. Lee pack up her tools and go.
Justice Chambers finally said that in
view of the conflicting testimony he
would have to dismiss the complaint.
Outside the court room Mrs. Lee
undertook to upbraid one of her own
witnesses who had fallen down" and
this nearly resulted in fresh en-
counter beneath the shade of the old
prison walls.

Clebusne, Tex, Feb. Sword
reached here late last night that E.
L. McClanahan, respected citizen
of Joshua, has been found in his lot
in an unconscious condition. The
idea first prevailed that he had been
kicked by mule or horse, but it was
later learned that Rev. Morphis had
seen a man running from the place.
The attending physician stated that
it was his opinion that some one had
struck the patient a violent blow
with club, and an ugly wound was
found on the left side of his head.
Mr.. McClanahan is a bachelor and
lived with his aged parents.

The Pace that Kills.

We have the daily testimony CT
those who have accumulated wealth
to the effect that money fails utterly
to satisfy. Men who are worthy of
belief say that beyond certain
point, wealth is a burden, and yet
humanity goes on burning out the
higher instincts, bunting the finer
sensibilities, destroying capacities
for happiness in the mad scramble
for the dollar. The old prayer, "G!ve
me neither riches nor wealth" is not
prayed now. We read Of the super.
ior virtues of the simple life, give
mental assent, but strive all the hard
er to get into the complex.
The human mind cannot com pre-
bend infnity, nor is it easy to take in
anything like an adequate conception
of what million dollars really is.
So it is that while We know that this
age is rushing on at breakneck
speed, it is only when We take indi-
vidual statistics that we can appre-
ciase the pace we are going. Here
is what actually happens in New
York, taken from official records:
Every forty seconds an emigrant
arrives.
Every three minutes some one is
arrested.
Every six minutes child is born.
Every seven minutes there is a
funeral.
Every thirteen minutes pair get
married.
Every forty-two minutes new
business firm starts up.
Every forty eight minutes build
ing catches fire.
Every forty-eight minutes ship
leaves the harbor.
Every 6fty.ore minutes new
building is erected.
Every ffty-two seconds passen-
ger train arrives from some point
outside the city limits.
Every one and three quarter hours
some one is killed by accident.
Every seven hours some one fails
in business.
Every eight hours an attempt to
kill some one is made.
Every eight and one half hours
some pair is divorced.

Whiskey, Or No Whiskey.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please allow US to say that your
suggestion to place a box at each
precinct at the approaching primary
election for the reception of ballots
marked "dispensar!" or mo dispen-
sary," was not in our minds when
We prepared the address upon which
you C. >mmented in your last issue.
The position which We take and
will oaaiElain is that 20 election on
the dispeneary will stand legal test
but tbst which is held in accordance
with the provisions of the Brice law.
To place box in the primary for a
vote upol the question of "whiskey"
or ''no vhiskey" in order to test the
strength of the wbiskey men in the
Democratic party in Lexington county
NIGH be proper thing to do. But
to undertake to put the dispensary
out or to keep it in Lexington county,
by vote in the primary election,
seems to US a reputation of the
action of the legislature in adopting
the Brice bill in the first instance
and it's wisdom in refusing to repeal
it in the second.
The dispensary was established by
statute law and can be removed only
by the provisions of statute law.
Whisksy, or no whiskey, is an
open question and the Democratic
party in its sovereignty can vote upon
it in the primary if it chooses to do
