LECTURES TO WOMEN
ON CIVIC CONSCIENCE
PROFESSOR HooSE DEFINES ITS
MEANING
Says Equal Suffrage Will Never Ac-
compIish Much if Women Vote
with the Organized Political Par
ties Now In the Field

"Civic Conscience" was the subject of
a clearly defined and interesting speech
yesterday afternoon by Prof. James H.
Hoose before the members of the Equal
Suffrage association at the Woman S
club house. Prof Hoose is in charge Of
the department of philosophy and his
tory in the University of Southern Cali
fornia.> He said in part:
"CiVic conscience means ones atti-
tude toward the laws of the city, state
and nation. This conscience differs
from the moral conscience in this that
the moral conscience is ones attitude to
his fellow men, towards society. Both
the civic and the moral conscience are
formed by education.
"One's civic conscience may be very
selfish and will try to do everything
not forbidden by the law. This is low
civic conscience. Touching equal suf-
frage, women should aim to carry their
high moral conscience into civic affairs,
else their power of voting will not tend
to uplift the moral Well-being of the
community over that which the civic
conscience alone does.
ut is very questionable whether
woman suffrage will raise the level of
society if she simply votes with the
present political parties without bring
ing to her aid a high moral conscience
that conscience which she wields in
such a high and effective manner to-
day"
Miss G. M. Williams, president of the
association, was in the chair and, de-
spite the rain, enough members We're
present to have an enthusiastic meet
ing.

WOMEN'S CLUBS
Speaks on "Resoue Work"

RESCUE Work Among the Boys was
discussed yesterday afternoon before the
Ebell club by M. K. Crawford. He
spoke especially of the boys who were
not bad enough to send to Whittier or
to the penitentiary but who had to be
taken from the streets. He recon-
mended homes for these boys where
they would pay a pittance each week,
just enough to have them believe they
were Independent and were not paupers
He told particularly of Mrs. Vances
home for boys near Sixteenth and
Santee streets, where the boys paid SO
per week for room and board. He de-
scribed cases where there were bad in
fluences at home and where by placing
the boy in homes like that of Mrs
Vance they had been rescued from a
life of crime and had been taught to
lead earnest. upright lives
Civics was the general head of the
Ebell program yesterday, and Mrs
Augustus Hine and Mrs, j. w. Van
CleVe were In charge. Mrs. G. Cliff was
to have spoken on the Work Among
the Children in Chicago" but she was
unable to be present.
The committees and curators of Sec
tions gave their reports and tea was
served.

Hawaii to Garry an Exhibit of
Southern California Trade
Commodities

their needs and to demonstrate that a
steamship line direct between Homo
lulu and San Pedro is a commercial
necessity.

of the chamber of commerce that every
man interested in trade with the Ha-
waiian islands will arrange to make
the coming trip.
The chamber of commerce Hawaiian
excursion committee met yesterday
and received reports showing that thus
far 110 tickets for the excursion have

desire to make the trip. The vessel
will not be chartered unless there are
at least 200 tickets sold. The maximum
is 300, although the steamer that will
be engaged. has a capacity of 700 as
it is the intention to make the trip en-
Joyable in every respect for those
who go.
The vessel is lighted throughout with
electricity and 1t has all the most
modern improvements for comfort and

THREE ARE VICTIMS OF GAS
Women and Two Men Narrowly Es-
cape Death Through Leaving
Jets Open

Mr.. and Mrs. Trueman Marble, 17i5
West Jefferson street, suffered a mar
row escape from death from asphyXia-
ton yesterday morning. Marble rolled
from bed in conVulsions, and his
mother, who was sleeping in the next
room. was aroused by his fall and came
to his aid.
To this fact both he and his wife
probably owe their lives, A gas stove
had been lighted when the couple re-
tired, but owing to the low pressure the
gas went out. When the flow again
started the jet was turned on and it
escaped.
Percy Vickerson, a private detective,
was nearly overcome by gas in his room
at 505h South Main street Sunday night,
but when awakened by the clerk sue
ceeded in reaching a window which he
opened. 1t was necessary to call ply
sician.

GOOD SAMARITAN is ROBBED
New Found Friend Shares His Room

Mohev

Frank Deisher of Redondo Is the latest
good Samaritan to suffer from the at
tacks of the one he assisted.
Early yesterday morning Deisher ell
gagged a room at the Hermosa lodging
house, Third and Wall streets. Before
he retired he walked down Main street,
where he met a we'll dressed and ap-
parently educated young man and en-
gagged in conversation with him.
The stranger told Deisher that he had
no money and no place to sleep, so
Deisher invited him to share the room
he had engaged. The young man ac-
cepted the offer and went to the room.
When Deisher awoke yesterday morn
ing he found that his new-found friend
had departed, taking with him $45 in
money, a watch and several fine moon
stones.

SEEK REMEDY FOR
BIC GAS BILLS
INSPECTOR READ BLAMES THE
WEAK PRESSURE
Hundreds File Complaints and Are
Told That Irregular Flow Causes
Consumption of Much
More Gas

Two hundred complaints have been
filed with Gas and Gas Meter Inspector
Cabell Read by gas consumers who
find that their gas bills in the last few
weeks have increased from 20 to 100
per cent although their use of gas, they
said, had not been above the normal.
Most of them have called with the
object of asking tests of their meters,
but after talking with the city's in
spector, who was legislated out of Office
by the last council but who still per-
forms his municipal duties, frankly adj
vised them that if they paid the 50-cent
fee they would get small returns.
1t is not the fault of the meters, he
declares, except in rare cases. The
pressure of gas is so low that double
the usual amount of the element is
needed to produce heat and light.
Read Writes the Council
BY way of letting the new council
know that he is still ON deck Inspector
Read yesterday sent letter to the
council embodying the result of these
complaints, as follows:
ITO the Honorable the City Council:
"Gentlemen-I have recently received
numerous complaints from customers of
the Los Angeles Gas and Electric COM
pany to the effect that their bills for the
months of November and December
nave ranged from 0U 10 lUU per cent
higher than previously, although in
their opinions no greater work had been
done.
"In reply to their question as to
whether testing the meters would afford
the desired relief 1 informed them that
in my opinion such test would not show
a difference of more than 10 to 10 per
cent at the outside, explaining that the
large increase was attributable to poor
and irregular pressure, more than to
any error the meter might have.
IN view of these facts L do not think
it advisable to have the meters tested"
II find that the consumers have hut
little remedy or redress as the law now
stands" said Inspector Read yesterday.
THE secret lies in the pressure, which,
when weak or irregular, forces the use
of much more at the burners in order to
produce the results wanted
Most of the meters are made in
Philadelphia, New York and Pittsburg
and usually run right. 1t is up to the
people to force the gas companies TO
give them regular pressure before their
bills win be reduced"
