BELIEVES HIMSELF MOSES;
SANITY TO BE EXAMINED

"Hurrah, I am Moses and was found
floating in the Sacramento river by the
queen of Egypt" yelled John Johnson,
a sailor, when approached by Police
man on San Pedro street yesterday
morning. Johnson was taken to the
police station by the officer, where he
was booked as insane. For more than
an hour Johnson held the officers en-
tranced with wondrous tales, and he
was then placed in bed in the receiving
hospital. Today he will be taken to the
county hospital and examined as to his
sanity.
II am happy and pure" he shouted,
s'and soon God will come down from
heaven in chariot of fire and carry
me up to nestle with the angles in the
skies. Repent of your sins, o ye evil
ones. and some day you may again meet
me across the beautiful shore

Yellow Peril Not Perilous
''I believe that God cares for repub-
lies, and for this republic in particular,
and because of this we should care for
II and for him. No man need fear the
Asiatic invasion. The yellow peril can
never be perilous IL only the Anglo
Saxon race remain true. The United
States leads, and not only is heard but
is heard with respect and obeyed as a
command. We have been given @. COM
manding po-. in the worlds drama,
Of which the overture has already been
ounded. 1t Is a great thing to be an
American in the twentieth century, a
greater thing to be an American in Cal
ifornia, and yet greater to be in this
city.
"Our future is not defined by material
bigness The material is the base of the
pyramid and the dollar mark is the ev-
idence of divine favor. 1t is sometimes
said that faith has departed from the
Americans. But / think this Is not
justified. I am not one of those who
think these days are full of evil. l do
not believe the country Is going to the
bad. There are juniper trees in plenty
and not few \Elijahs. The very things
that seem discouraging are harbingers
Of hope. Never was there such a quick
conscience and never such an apprecia-
tion Of manhood as now. The truest
test of civilization Is not the size Of a
country but the kind Of men it turns
out.
The Day of Man
"This is the day of man. Now man is
recognized as the supreme of all values,
and today the world recognizes man.
hood as never before. If business fails.
II fails where the man fails. What we
want is not socialism but a wider indf-
vidualism.
Character is wanted, especially here
on the Pacific coast, because of your
unique position to the future. A man
has a definite economic value and can
be appraised as we'll as his house or
property. A man is worth more today
than ever before and on an average is
considered worth about $4,000. When
you get 5000 men into your association,
and you will soon, you will have repre-
sented more than ten millione of dol
lars; for it is not the average man
alone that joins the association, which
gather those who will become leaders
among men, and possibly some one will
step out from the association who will
save the day for society and the ma
tion."

Schmifz Juror Attacks
Wife and Goes to Jail
Cudworth Celebrates Release
From Duty by Beating
His Helpmeet

After helping in the conviction of
Eugene Z. Schmitz of the crime of ex-
fortion Royal W. Cudworth, Juror IN
the first OF the graft trials, went home
and beat his wife. II was his first ap-
yearance In his apartments. 2022
Green street, for about 10 days, and his
wife bears the marks of the vigor, II
not OF the affection, Of his greeting.
She says he has beaten her before
and that he simply resumed this do
mestic habit by attacking her AMI
threatening her life.
Cudworth was taken to the Bush
street station and booked on a charge
Of threats against life. while his wife,
fearful that he might be released from
custody. took refuge in neighboring
apartments.
After the jury had rendered its ver-
dict the members were taken home by
Elisor Biggy IN an automobile. Cud-
worth's home was about the last to be
reached. and after shaking hands with
the two Jurors left In the car Cudworth
went into his home. Biggy and the au-
tomobile continued on. After disposing
of the two remaining Jurors Biggy
passed 2022 Green street again. A
great crowd had gathered; upper win
dows were thrown open wide and
night-capped heads leaned out into the
street. The shrieks of a frightened
woman added to the excitement, and
through the crowd Patrolmen Colen
and Marsh emerged with Cudworth in
tow.
1t was then 1850 o'clock Cudworth
had been out Of the custody of Biggy
only little more than an hour. The
charge placed against him is that of
felony, and the prospects for gaining
relief before morning were extremely
slim.
Mrs. Cudworth said that her husband
had attacked her without provocation.
AS evidence of the injury he inflicted
she pointed to marks on her neck.
My husband came home and accused
me wrongfully of not behaving myself
while he was away" said she. HE
seized me, dragged me into the bath
room and tried TO choke me. This is
not the first time he has attacked me
A year ago I had TO call in the police
! He has abused me frequently. Tonight
when learned of the verdict thought
I he would come home pleasant, but ne
was worse than ever"
Residents OF the apartment house in
which the Cudworths have been living
say that Mrs. Cudworth has not been
out of the house since her husband
was sworn as a member Of the Schmitz
jury.
