According to a telegram received last
evening President Roosevelt has sent
the nomination of Leo V. Youngworth
as United States marshal for the south
ern district of California to the senate
for confirmation.
Mr.. Youngworth has been acting as
county surveyor for the past term, but
will assume his new duties within a
month.
Mr.. Youngworth will succeed Capt.
II. B. Osborne, who is now the United
States marshal, and take place with his
political co-worker, United States Dis

been said that these two young men,
who were instrumental in having the
Republican convention instruct it's
delegates to vote for Senator Frank 2.
Flint, are deserving of the position that
they have been appointed to and their
friends, among the younger men of the
Republican party, rejoice in the ap-

At present Mr.. Youngworth is the
county surveyor, and those who know
say that Chief Deputy I. G.. Noble will
be the choice of the Republican party
for county surveyor at the next cleo

office for some time, and it is said 1t is

ANTI-SAL00N LEAGUE
CONVENTION OPENS
LARGE NUMBER ATTEND FIRST
MEETING
Long Beacher Presides-Santa Ana
Minister Tells Purpose of organi-
zation and Outlines Future Course
of Action for temperance Workers

The first session of the State Anti
Saloon league convention was opened
last evening at the First Methodist
church. There was quite large
gathering. DR.. Atkinson of Long Beach
acted as chairman of the meeting
Prof. Otto Gates rendered a vocal
solo.
Rev. ]. H. Garnett of Santa Ana made
the first address. He said in part:
America is on fire for civic service
There is also much demand for private
service. The man who is immoral is
not wanted in our private service.
President Roosevelt and Senator Polk
are setting good examples. Great ma
tional appeals are being made along
these lines and calls are being made
upon which we are leaning to accom-
plish our ends. The liquor traffic is
our common foe. The greatest in
America is the saloon. We find this
foe wrapped up with the American flag.
Some say that prea chers and women
should not enter politics. but they are
the ones that may accomplish much
good in that direction. The saloons
make up the slate of politics. and why
may not the preachers and women do
their part in purifying politics?
America Against Saloons
The American attitude really is
against the saloons, but the combined
votes do not count up sufficient to
abolish them This combined effort is
the only method of accomplishing this
end so desired by the anti-saloon work.
ers Our political factions should COM
bine IN this anti-saloon movement and
vote the liquor traffic out of existence
The world is tired of this sort of re-
ligious quibbling, We should stand
out strong and not allow ourselves to
think too much of the saloons with the
point of their degrading influences, but
to have eleyating thoughts regarding
the ideas of the anti-saloon purifica-
tion and the abolishing of the saloons
I'VE want to work to put in the best
men for office and to encourage them
TO be honest In their endeavors in their
official capacities, but it is too often. the
case that the most competent are not
available.
II advocate the social center with
temperance surroundings for the meet
ing place or men and boys, with tenn
perance drinks and where sociability
will be enjoyed on temperance lines. 7"
Judge Noyes Of Riverside read "a
lengthy but forceful paper on Civic
Righteousness"
The convention will continue this
morning at 10 o'clock. when several
prominent speakers will make ad-
dresses.

PAPER READ AT MEETING OF
MINISTERS

christian Fanatlclsm" was the title
Of the paper read by Rev. Arthur e.
Johnson, pastor of the sawtelle Metho-
dist church, before the Methodist min
isters meeting yesterday.
For fifteen minutes previous to the
introduction of Rev. Mr.. Johnson the
chairman, Rev. Mr.. Ryland, by request
gave an interesting talk on the re-
cent conference held by the Methodist
Church South in Birmingham, Ala.
Rev. Mr.. johnson brought out the
points Of his subject in an interesting
manner. He said In part:
"A fanatic is q person who displays
excessive enthusiasm for the cause he
advocates. 1t is important to distin-
and fanaticism.
"Fanaticism is not confined to the
realm of religion. 1t may invade any
realm of thought or action, wise or
otherwise, Christian or pagan. Chris
tian fanaticism Is not an excess of
Christianity, but an excess of enthu-
siasm.
Gives Cure for Fanaticism
"A Christian fanatic is not a hereto
who denies the faith, not an unbeliever
who doubts it, not an apostate who
forsakes 1t. not a degenerate who de-
grades 1t, not an extremist who exag-
gerates some phase of 1t, not back
slider who has lost it, not a theorlst
who devitalized 1t, not a Journalist who
choroforms it, not Pharisee who pa
tronizes it, not hypocrite who coun-
terfeits it. He is one who not only has
a real Christian experience, but one
who has gone clear through with Cod
and, not content with this, has gone
on beyond the leading of the spirit
led captive by some strong delusion
of the devil.
"Is there any cure for fanaticism?
One thing is sure, that law and discl-
pline will only make fanatics worse.
They have passed the point where
they regard the face or favor of man.
"The fact is that very few fanatics
are ever cured. Most of them back
slide, become insane or commit sui
eide. The only remedy for fanaticism
is perfect love-"
Denounces Oakland Officials
Bishop j. w. Hamilton was present
and, in the course of his remarks,
strongly denounced the action of the
officials of Oakland in not needing the
urgent call of San Francisco to CO.
operate in establishing and maintain
ing sobriety and insisting in keeping
open saloons, which he decidedly af-
frmed was a blot on the otherwise fair
city.
Rev. Mr.. Cory introduced the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, that we heartily indorse
the plan of presenting an oratorical
concert at the new auditorium at
Huntington Beach on July 26, and we
pledge. ourselves as pastors to assist
in rallying the singers in our congre-
cations, and will welcome the> musical

Number One Tells Story of Marriage
and Separation to Aid Num-
Der Two in Getting
Divorce

Enraged by the treatment which
their wife had dealt out to them, the
two husbands Of Mrs. Hazel Blanche
Davis King Walters yesterday ap-
peared in Judge Bordwell's department
of the superior court and gave evil
dence against their wife in order that
husband No. 2 might be granted a
decree of annulment of marriage, as
husband No 1 befor him had.
The case was a peculiar one and the
two husbands sat side by side in the
court room and told stories Of their
short and stormy existence with their
wife.
us this your wife?" asked Judge
Bordwell, as he showed a photograph
of a woman to Fred d. King of San
Jacinto.
Yes" responded husband No. 1.
She was my wife until May IL, 1905,
when / secured a divorce from her be-
cause she liked another ,man better

-. Was Pretty Once
The big black eyes of the woman,
who had been pretty in her more
youthful days, seemed to smile at the
big, sunburned man as they glanced
out from the picture. For a moment
husband the first looked evenly at those
steady black eyes. but the smile OF the
girl on the photo never changed, and
with a quick gesture the man tossed
the photograph back on the table be-
fore him.
"Yes, that's it." said husband No. 2,
and he squinted one eye at the pho
tograph. He is Lee Walters, one of
the jolliest young men In town, and
he took his martial difficulties yester-
day with broad grin
Yes, | married her or maybe she
married me-" he told Judge Bordwell.
TT happned on February g. 1906, and
at that time she said she was a sin
gle woman, and never mentioned hav-
ing any other husband. We lived to-
gether for awhile and I did the best
| 1 could for the girl, but she was one
too many for me and she liked all the
boys, so had to drop out too.'
Number One Tells Troubles
| Then husband No. took the stand
again. He testified he had been mar
| ried to the girl with the black eyes
for some years and that he had had
much trouble On one occasion, ac-
cording to his statements, he had re-
turned to her and tried to live with
her. when he alleged she developed
symptoms of kleptomania, and when
he begged her to be careful she left
him and went to her home.
| Later, according to the evidence of
the first husband. his wife had fallen
in love with barber and then he was
granted a divorce.
! The interlocutory decree was issued
in May and according to the law the
woman was not divorced until this
year on the same day of the month.
| The license showed that she had mar
ried her second husband two months
before her time was up, and as the
case was one of bigamy the judge
granted the annulment of the mar
riage, and the two husbands and their
attorney left the court room, while the

Officials
Ey Associated Press.

DILLONVALE, O., June 1.-THE
failure of the M. A. Hanna Coal COM
pany to induce the striking miners to
return to work this morning has
aroused the officials to renewed vigor
and plans are now progressing to start
the mines tomorrow.
The officials claim that the attack of
last night, when fifty shots were fired
by strikers at the tipple house, intimi-
dated the men who intended to work to-
day.
This evening Sheriff VOORHEES, was
appealed to by the Hanna company for
protection, the declaration being made
that the lives of its officials and those
who are willing to work will be in
danger after the mines are put in
operation and that the property is in
danger of destruction.
The appeal further says that if depu-
ties are not provided to guard its in
terests the authorities will be held liable
for any loss that may be sustained.
