NEW JERSEY

With the opening of the school veal
of 1907, the New Jersey Academy en-
tiers upon what may we'll be called a
new era in its growth. For years the
school has received applications from
a greater number of students than
could be taken care of and the lack
of funds with which to provide addi-
tional has greatly hindered pro-
gress. Last year, however, the friends
of the institution, recognizing the
need, raised the money needed to
erect a new dormitory and make some
improvements On the main building
and grounds. The new building and
these improvements are now nearing
completion and the academy enters
upon its thirtieth year with brighter
prospects than ever before in it's his
tory.
The new building is a girls dormi-
tory, SO by 81 feet, The rooms are
large. and will be furnished comfort
ably. A cemented basement the full
length and width Of the building on
tains a spacious dining ROOM, kitchen,
laundry with stationary tubs, and
boiler room. In the structure are
toilets, bathrooms. and lavatorics
and the entire building is heated by
steam and lighted by electricity
Eve-y modern convenience that mon
cy will buy has been installed, and
when the grounds are finally in the
condition contemplated the dormi.ory
will be worthy of comparison with II
other in Utah.
While the dormitory supplies a
grea7 need it serves another purpose
in permitting certain desired changes
in the main building. The removal
of the kitchen and dining room to the
other building makes room for a la
boratory, a fine library and reading
room, and, where closets have occu-
pied room on the third floor, a bath
room and toilet will be installed
Steam heating apparatus is to be put
into the building also. These i'm
provements will add much to the
pleasure of all concerned and serve
to place the schools equipment on a
more satisfactory basis.
The New Jersey Academy offers
work in all the grades and three years
of high school work. There is, in ad-
dition, a department Of music, and ,ris
year there will be some instruction in

RICH AUNT SEEKS
WEE BABY GIRL
FORGIVES MOTHER AND WELL
COMES HER LITTLE ONE
TRAGEDY of a Girls Life Has Sunny
Chapter II Only a Trace of Her
Offspring Can Be Found In
Los Angeles

There is a rich aunt in San Francisco
trying to find baby named Gross In Los
Angeles
The child was born here at one of the
institutions in the past year or two. Pos
sibly the mother did not give her right
name on entering the institution, and the
name Gross" may be misleading.
The unfortunate mothers past, what
ever it was, has been blotted out of the
aunt's memory, and now she yearns for
the child and is ready to give 1t home
and protection. The mother is also well
come-forgiven.
For several days a woman has been
visiting in Los Angeles institutions trying
to get traces of this baby whether it sur
vived and who had adopted 1t. Its sex Is
not known to this woman or to the aunt
who commissioned her to do this search
ing
City hall records do not reveal any clew
concerning the child. Its birth perhaps
has never been reported, though the law
makes this obligatory.
The Herald has the aunt's name, but
withholds 1t for the present.
palatial home and loving care await
this child of fate If kind friends will come
forward and reveal its whereabouts.

A RANK CALUMNY

The fondness of some public takers
for sensational statements is exen-
plified in an address delivered at St.
Joseph, Mo-, by the president of retail
clerks protective association. He said:
"Owners of department stores drive
more girls to taking up life of shame
than the wine rooms and saloons" The
remark was in reference to the rates of
wages paid in the big stores.
1t is an obvious calumny. 1t assumes
that such wages as are paid to en-
ployes of the department stores are
more harmful than no wages at all. If
young woman is unable to satisfy her
financial wants with the salary derived
from her services in the store what
would be the consequence If she had
no income?
The exact reverse of the sensational
statement is evident to the mind of
every thoughtful person. The fact that
scores Of thousands of young women
are employed in such vocations proves
that the wages are generally sufficient
for reasonable wants. The department
stores afford the only means of earning
living for a large class of girls and
women, and without the opportunity
thus afforded the temptation to go
astray surely would be greatly broad
ened.
Assuming that this line of employ
ment is compensated in other large
cities on level with the compensation
in Los Angeles, the statement quoted
above is absolutely baseless.
Wages for such service depend, as in
other business lines, upon experience,
aptitude and general efficiency. Be-
ginners in the department stores are
paid much more literally than appren-
tees in the trades, and the way to ad-
vancement always is open to them.
Any person who entertains the idea
| that the employees of the Los Angeles
department stores have an especially
hard lot may convince himself to the
contrary by watching the CHEEKY man
ner of the throngs of young women as
they flock into the big stores in the
morning and emerge from them in the
evening.

RICH STRIKE" CHANCES

The report that prominent Los An
geles men of affairs have "struck 1t
rich'' in a Utah oil field is not surpris-
ing to persons acquainted with the
geology and mineralogy, of the great
west. AS The Herald has remarked
heretofore in respect to California, de-
velopment thus far has only scratched
the surface of the fabulous resources
below.
This entire western country has been
''prospected," over and over again, ever
since the earliest settlements. The
lower Nevada gold district, for in
stance, that was discovered" quite re-
Gently, often had been explored by ex-
pert gold miners, in years running back
to the half century mark. Another
striking example of faulty prospecting
was the stumbling of miners over the
Cripple Creek district, for dozens of
years, without learning that tens of
millions of dollars in gold awaited the
tickle of their picks.
So far as California is concerned, 1t
is a fact we'll known to mineralogists
that there are hundreds of points at
which gold mining would be profitable
under favorable circumstances. In
are many locations awaiting develop
ment both in quartz and placer mining.
Right here in Los Angeles county
there is gold in the seaside sands that
has yielded fair wages to workers with
primitive appliances. Northward from
more than an hours travel by rail,
there are placer gold deposits that have
been worked successfully for many
years. Farther northward, fifty miles
or so from the city, there are quartz
gold deposits that were worked by
Mexicans long before the alleged first
discovery of gold in California in Suit
ter's millrace.
But nearly all the gold mining done
thus far in Southern California has
been of the surface scratching kind.
Lack of capital has been the great
obstacle to development. 1t costs a
great deal Of money to dig into the
bowels Of the earth, to introduce neces-
sary machinery and to furnish the in
dispensable water.
The time will come, however, and in
the near future, when abundant capital
will develop not only the auriferous
wealth hidden in Southern California
but the other valuable mineral re-
sources as we'll that are known to be
capable of profitable development.

ENFORCE THE LAW

The federal authorities in New York
city recently tied up $50 passenger
boats, of all sorts and sizes, because
their owners had not complied with the
laws enacted since the fearful General
Slocum disaster, when hundreds Of in
nocent women and children were
burned to death or drowned through
criminal carelessness.
1t is refreshing to learn of such cases
of conscientious performance of duty,
and it renews hope in the growth of
common sense among the people.
In some cases it was found that men
were in command who had no license,
and in all cases the boats were over
crowded and passengers were compelled
to disembark.
1t required the Iroquois disaster in
Chicago to give the people protection
in theaters, and though the price paid,
in human life, is awful to contemplate
the results are great. The annals of
steamboating the world over do not
give an equal in horrors to the Slocum
disaster, and the fact that conditions
similar to those which made that case
possible are still permitted where men
and women must pass the dread spot
every day magnifies the Importance
and need of existing federal law, and
compels praise for those who enforce it.
Just after the Valencia disaster, a
year and a half ago, an admiral of our
naval service was sent to Puget Sound
ports to inspect all steam craft, and
especially the preserving appliances
found on them. He found plugged tin
life RATS, thousands of life preservers,
any one of which would be certain
death to the wearer, boats weather
cracked, fire hose rotten and pipeless,
boat and fire drills to be empty forms
and many other evidences of criminal
negligence. 1t is an appalling fact that
it cost the lives of most of the Valen-
cia's passengers to prove that wad
of tules, wire-bound on the ends, had
not an adequate buoyancy to float the
unfortunate wearers, yet there were
manufacturers at the inquest or hear
ing who stoutly maintained to the con-
tary, Notwithstanding the scores of
bodies washed ashore, weighted with
these death dealing contrivances.
Pacific coast passenger traffic is now
we'll cared for, thanks to this naval
officer; and it is reassuring to know
that similar enforcement of the laws is
bearing fruit in the eastern states.

TELLS SCIENCES PLACE
IN RELIGIOUS WORLD
Prof. J. H. HysIop of New York Makes
Address at Meeting of Los
Angeles Fellow
ship

Prof. ]. H. Hys1op. Phi. D., Of New
York, made an address on Scientific
Research in Relation to Religious
Thought" yesterday morning.
The address was given at the Fellow
ship service in Blanchard hall to large
audience.
Prof Hyslop was formerly professor of
logic at Columbia university and is now
president of the American Institute for
Physical Research.
The life work of Prof. Hyslop has been
largely occupied in the investigation of
the salient points of the subject of his
address yesterday.
Prof, Hyslop affirmed that the scien-
tific world must assume the responsible
ity of pointing out the way of the re-
ligious growth and true ethics.
The following are a few points of the
address of Prof. Hyslop:
"It is not necessary to be skeptical in
order to be scientific. On science rests
the responsibility of reconciling the pas
sions for truth and hope.
Science endeavors to take the super
natural transactions, such as apparitions,
visions and condolences, and put them in
their proper places and discover the truth
concerning them.
Science ascertains If there is a mind
other than nero brain and soul that
will abide through all time.
when these are satisfactorily estab-
lished in the minds of the people relig-
ious differences will be ineffective.
1.-THE early savage tribes had the re-
ligious thought of the Deity for salts
flying their simple wants, which con-
sisted chiefly of food and water.
1.-THE philosophy of the Greeks has
solved everything but their elements.
Their gods were the elements personi-
fed. They communicated with their gods
through means of their oracles.
mo doubt the oracles were gifted with
spiritual insight. Fraud and trickery
undermined them as clairvoyanoy and
the like do today.
christians have given the world its
highest ideals in the story of the resur-
rection of Christ"

COUNCIL TODAY DISCUSSES
CITY HALL ANNEX PLANS
RENTALS FOR OUTSIDE OFFICES
PROVE COSTLY
Either More Space Must Be Found or
Structure Must Be Erected Adj
Joining Present Municipal
Building

Today's session of the city council will
be briefer than usual for the reason
that there is still much business pend
ing before the board of equalization, into
which the council resolves itself daily as
the law provides. 1t is expected to adj
journ as a board on Thursday at 5
o'clock.
One of the important issues facing the
council for discussion today is whether
to appropriate 5000 for the proposed
new annex to the city hall When the
question came up before, the majority
of the councilmen favored the plan.
Councilman Healy has, however, come
out squarely against the idea and he
Blanchard since the latter's return to
Los Angeles, hence the members may
be equally divided, causing delay If
not defeat.
Office Room Needed
Congestion in all the city departments
is such that unless some outlet is found
more offices will have to be rented in
buildings, a cost which the depleted
finances of the city can little Withstand,
in view of the drain of the outfall sewer.
The finance committee believes that
the vacant ground adjoining the city
building offers the only practical solution
at present. and the cheapest one. The
cost of the temporary building in the
three to five years in which 1t will be
utilized will be far less than the rentals
which the city would have to pay if it
had no annex.
Mayor Harper is not quite ready to
send in his message suggesting the ap-
pointment of commission to revise the
charter. He said yesterday concerning
his revision:
1.-The charter needs revision in almost
everything. 1t is all patchwork now and
the city has outgrown it.
There is at least years work to
adopt a new report and then perhaps the
people will vote it down. But we must
do something anyway, and 1 want to
get action as soon as 1 can.
Pay for Commissioners
"I have given some thought to the idea
of having paid members on the city COM
missions who shall devote their entire
time to the city work, notably the police
board. Yet I am not sure that it is the
best thing to do
1--WE must have revision done by COM
petent representative commission, and
then the people can ratify the work If it
appeals to them as what Los Angeles
needs for the future"
Steps will be taken today to let the
fuel contracts for the city, especially
for the city hall.
The new requisition law is now in ef-
feet and it will be interesting to note
what action will be taken If any irregu-
lar demands passed by any department
are sent to the council by the city audi
tors office.

BLANCHARD BACK
FROM BEAR VALLEY OUTING

Councilman F. w. Blanchard of the
Ninth ward has returned from his
months leave of absence which he spent
with his family and relatives at his sum-
mer home in Bear valley.
The locality is a rugged place, where
good fishing and hunting can be had,
and involved a long wagon ride from
San Bernardino and back.
There is a well-stocked lake In the dis
trict The valley is the site of an inn
mense irrigation dam and reservoir,
which sends prosperity to orange grow
ers and ranchers and furnishes electric
power.
Mr.. Blanchard comes back tanned and
rested and will find that much council
manic business has accumulated during
his absence, especially in the finance and
bridge committees.
