ATLANTA, March 10.-A new re-
ligion among the negroes of Atlanta,
one of the principles of which Is that
all female communicates must hug
and kiss the pastor and elders of the
church, and which has caused a furore
in the religious circles of the black
folk, will be investigated in police court
tomorrow. The pastor of the local
branch Of the new church, Apostle
Alexander Dawson, has been arrested
upon the complaint of several husbands
who thought he was too vigorous in
his methods.
The name of the new religion is "The
Church of God, Saints Of Christ" Daw-
son came to Atlanta about one year
ago from Washington, d. c., where
lives the "Great Prophet" of the new
religion. Dawson tells his followers
that the "Great Prophet" is the APP
pointed of God. One of the require
ments of the church is that each MEM
Der shall contribute 10 per cent of his
or her earnings every week for the
support Of the "Great Prophet" The

terday Today it is the old Batz home
stead; tomorrow it will be Floral park.
The purchase by Order & Hamilton
of the well known Jose Domingo Batz
property, a short distance east of East
lake park, marks the beginning of a
transformation on large scale, which,
more than anything else, is significant
of the changes that have taken place
in Southern California since the COM
ing of the gringo.
The Batz homestead consists of 800
acres and is the largest tract that has
so far been set apart for subdivision.
1t will be intersected by the Pacific
Rapid Transit company (the new
Huntington Electric railway corpora
tion) main line to San Gabriel, Mon
rovia, Riverside and Redlands. The
line will be completed through the
property not later than July 1.
1t is the intention of the new owners
to cut the property up into one-half
acre and acre pieces, thus affording
purchasers plenty of room for semi
rural homes of the best class, while
at the same time presenting the COM
forts and conveniences of city life.
The soil, fertile loan. lends itself
readily to this plan, and the improve
ments contemplated are entirely in
keeping with 1t.
The contour of the streets as laid
out will conform to that of the slight
foothills forming part of the property,
and the improvements generally will
harmonize with the great natural
beauty Of the locality.
Thousands of shade and ornamental
trees will be set out, and there will be
three elegant entrances, two on Alham-
bra avenue and one on the line of the
Pacific Rapid Transit company
The site of Floral park is one of
remarkable natural beauty. The alti-
tude lifts it entirely above the fog
and smoke of the coast and city, and
the air is pure and bracing. The view
is magnificent. The tall buildings of
Los Angeles are plainly visible, while
toward the east the handsome outlines
OF the Hotel Raymond are seen. In
the background rise the mountains,
rugged, stern and grand.
The view is worth going miles to
see. especially at this season of the

No courtship should last more than

Calls should be limited to two hours

If after six months attention
