MUSICIAN USES HIS RAZOR
SIashes at His Throat In Despondent
Moment, Then Regrets
His Act

Charles Walter, a musician, at
tempted suicide yesterday morning by
slashing both sides of his neck with IL
razor, in his room at 315 New High

But for the GOODNESS of his wife, Wal
ter would probably have bled to DEATH
but the police ambulance was quickly
summoned and he was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital shortly after his bun
Cling attempt to sever the jugular vein

The wouldbe suicide said he did not
know what prompted his action and he
remarked that he was very glad that
the attempt proved unsuccessful. Sew

NJ 'CARTHY BITTER
OVER HIS ARREST
THREATENS SUIT AGAINST THE
POLICE
Suspect in Detmers JeweIry Robbery
Explains His Dash as Being Due
to Fright-Property Is Still
UnrecoVered

Detectives are still working on the
mysterious robbery of Fred Detmers'
jewelry store on South Broadway and
claim they have a clew that will lead
to important developments today.
Tom Mccarthy, arrested on suspicion
of being concerned in the looting of
Detmers safe, has been released from
custody.
He strenuously denied having know
ledge of the affair and explains his
sudden dash down Broadway when ac-
costed by Detmers as the impulse of a
moment, a species of stage fright.
Although detectives have been maxi
ing a careful search for the stolen
property, valued at $500, none of it
has been found and nothing has been
learned that would connect Mccarthy
with the affair The man who was
confined in the city Jail without any
charge being made against him, is very
bitter about his arrest and may bring
legal proceedings against the officers.
The Legal Phase
One of the most prominent crimna!
that the police have no legal right to
detain a man in Jail without charge
being made against him and any pris-
oner can be released on a writ of
habeas corpus if the officers refuse him
his liberty after neglecting to prefer
charges against the man.
According to the Los Angeles police
practice" remarked the attorney, "any
man might be arrested and locked up
without a chance to see friends or
counsel.
IF he has influence he secures his
release very quickly, for the police do
not dare to hold a man simply be-
cause the detectives think that he may
know something about mysterious
robbery.
1T could have been done years ago,
but not in these days when every
arrested person has a right to know
the charge against him and has a right
to employ counsel"

WOULD ATTACH GAS CONCERN
City Attorney Is Instructed to Proceed
Against the Independent
COMPANY

The council yesterday instructed the
city attorney to begin attachment pro-
ceedings against the Independent Gas
company, formerly the Lowe Gas COM
pany, to collect $4,000 of back license
money, which the superior court decid-
ed last week was coming to the city.
The city attorney declares that since
it has done business in Los Angeles the
Independent concern has steadily re-
fused to pay a license into the city
treasury, although the other gas COM
pany has been very prompt in this re-
spect.
The city legal department has consid-
cred this case to be especially aggravat-
ing as the bulk of the Independent
property is outside the city and there
fore not assessable for taxes.

Proceeding Acts as Stay to Deporta-

States district court yesterday in the
case of Gee Toy, a Chinese boy ordered
Geported to China.

terest among church people and a
strong fight has been made to keep Toy

Commissioner Van Dyke made a rul-
ing several days ago that Gee Toy had
no right to remain in this country. but
the appeal to the district court acts as
a stay to the deportation proceedings.

RETIREMENT OF SCHNEIDER
ADDS MORE BURDEN
Huntington Meanwhile Acts as General
Manager of the Pacific EIec-
trio and Interurban
Systems

j. Mcmillan was yesterday appointed
acting superintendent of transporta-
ton of the Los Angeles Interurban
and the Pacific Electric railways. He
will perform these duties in connection
with his duties as traffic manager.
H. e. Huntington spent one of the
busiest days of his busy life yesterday
acting as general manager of the two
companies which place was made va
cant by the resignation of A. ID.
SCHNEIDER, effective April /.
1t is not believed by Mr. Hunting toms
associates that he will retain the office
of general manger any longer than it
will take him to find competent man
that is agreeable to both himself and
E. H. Hartman.
While the shifting of some of the
duties that A. D. SCHNEIDER carried upon
the shoulders of j. Mcmillan has re-
duced the work of the general manager
somewhat, still there are more than a
dozen departments that still report to
the general manager.
Heavy Burden
Heretofore Mr.. Huntington has not
received reports from any of the de-
rartments direct and it is thought that
the burden that he has taken upon his
shoulders is more han he cares to carry.
employees yesterday, has too many
large matters to look after to allow him
to fill the duties of an office which can
be occupied by a man of less financial
ability"
Chief Clerk Handford, in Mr..
Schindler's office, will still remain at
his desk performing the same duties rs
before and will in the future be prac-
tically chief clerk to Mr.. Huntington
as far as Pacific Electric and Inter
urban matters are concerned.
1t is not known whether or not Mr..
Mcmillan will permanently occupy the
office of superintendent, but his asso-
ciates believe that he will on account
of the ability that he has shown in
handling street railway matters.
Some Shifting
A number of the other employees in
the office will be shifted around as
soon as Mr.. Huntington can find time
to attend to them. AT present the road

MINISTER DELIVERS RINGING
ADDRESS
Rev. John G. Hill of Long Beach Makes
Ministers Sit Up and Listen.
Discusses Some Social
Questions

TO be saved is not to be snatched
from a devils pit; it is to be delivered
from devilish disposition" said Rev.
john G. Hill, pastor of the Central
Methodist church of Long Beach yes
terday at the Methodist minister's
meeting.
A large number of ministers attended
the meeting who We're much interested
in the paper read by Rev. Mr.. Hill on
Ihe Social Aspect of the Pulpit" He
said in part:
THAT man is most saved who is MAX
ing the very best of life now. TO be
spiritually whole men must be taught
to be spiritually right minded. Right
believing must be translated into right
behaving. Greed and conduct must
balance each other.
What must 1 do to be saved?'
shrilly asked minister in announcing
his text.
PAY your butcher bill!' shouted a
man in the rear of the congregation.
There is too much of the closet
morality and too little of the market
morality in the world. Too many
saints are allowed to sneak through
life without reproof when they ought to
stand up for the right. We have been
guilty of preaching nine times what
God will give a man for being good,
while we preach incidentally once what
man can render his Lord by being
good.
Rockefe IIer Is an Ogre
"The spot you pinch the hardest be-
comes the most sensitive. This is as
true of the conscience as the skin. The
minister ought to so preach the gospel
as to trim up all sides of a mans life.
and especially the side that grows
numb, or we will continue to have
Christians who are only good in spots.
ut is surprising that we have such a
in religion as the oil king
who is personally in private life a fine
Christian man but corporately a volup-
tuous ogre. What is needed is that the
pulpit shall whip the consciences of
men with lashes until they smart and
bleed for their social and economic
wrongs.
The preachers thought life must be
broad enough to take in and appreciate
the eXpanse of modern ideas or he will
never reach the throbbing life of this
