Preacher Gets Injunction

At the rate the liquor ordinances have
been passed for the alleged welfare Of
the city and health of it's inhabitants
local physicians say that Los Angeles
is entitled to be considered city where
heart failure Is prevalent and where
stimulants are necessary.
Judge Bordwell, however, is every
case tried before him has held to the
contrary. Every liquor case thus far
tried has been held in department 8,
and Judge Bordwell has never once
changed his ruling.
Rev. Mr.. Montgomery following the
passing of the ordinance which would
again open up the bar at Ascot park,
filed an injunction against the mayor
and the city clerk toprevent them from
signing and filing the ordinance.
Two days thereafter Rev. Mr.. Mont
gomery and his attorneys filed a petit
tion in the superior court for restrain
ing order to prevent the sale of liquor
at Ascot until the question of the
validity of the ordinance could be
thoroughly threshed out in court.
That petition was granted yesterday,
and as result the Ascot bar will re-
main closed probably a month before
the case Is tried in court, and If the in
junction is sustained liquor will never
again be sold at Ascot park.

Case Continued Until May 9th After
 Hearing Testimony.

Grace Steinson, 16, and her broth CT, Howard, 13, the runaway children of Brimfeld, will remain under the care of Agent o. G. Cash of the Hampden county children's aid asso- citation until May 6 at least, when the guardianship hearing, continued from Monday in the probate, court at Springfield. at the suggestion of George s. Steinson, the father, will be concluded. At Mondays hearing before Judge Long all the witnesses for the petitioner, MT. Cash. for 8 temporary guardianship of the chil! dren took the stand and explained the children's side. MT. Stienson testi- fed in his own behalf, and as his wife is i'll he secured continuance of the hearing. MT. Steinson handled his own case skillfully, with soma aid from Attorney H. N. Cross, who has formerly looked after his interests. The children told story of much suffering. Each child was taken out of the room while the other was on the stand, but both stories agreed in detail. Attorney s. s. Taft took care of the petitioners suit.

 The hypocrita on the ancient stage was one who accompanied the deliv- cry of an actor by gesture. One talked, the othe gestured. Gradual ly the hypocrite, therefore, came to be known as one who makes the ges- lures and performs the actions appro- priate to 8 thought or an emotion that is not his own.

 Arbutus is very fine this year, we think, by the specimens that have been kindly given us. We trust those who are privileged to gather it will pay heed to the oft-repeated injunc- tion, "Pick it, even if it does take longer, and do not pull it up by the roots. Also leave few blooms to go to seed, for this plant seeds itself ' This we know as, as we have often found the seed pods, but it is nearly impossible to secure the tiny seeds, as the pods burst as soon as ripe, pro- polling the seeds for self sowing.
 The passing away of Rev. Charles A. Piddook in Hartford last week of heart disease saddens his many friends here, where he has so often came during the last twenty years in con- nection with various religious ser vices or to preach in the Baptist church. He was one of the foremost men in the denomination. The "bish- op," as some of his friends and ad- mirers in the state liked to call him, will be greatly missed. Our acquaint- anoe antedates the Connecticut resi- dence, and we can truly say from long experience s'The world is poorer for his loss. ''

It Is claimed that Washington is the cleanest city in the United States. If they were so disposed the ladies might wear their best afternoon gowns on the street without having them soiled. The general cleanliness of Washington Is due to the noticeable absence of fac tories with their soft coal smoke, and the asphalt streets are kept so clean that there Is little dust or dirt in the air. An almost forgotten fact Is that Washington was first called Rome, and a creek which flowed through the site of the city was spoken of as the Tiber. Oddly enough, the first owner of the land upon which the capital is now To- cated was named Pope.-Philadelphi Press.

ISSUES
PARDON TO SMITH
WAS CONVICTED OF ROBBERY AT
HELENA FIVE YEARS AGO.
Especial to The Gazette.)

Helena, Nov. 2l.-Governor Toole
today, upon the recommendation of
the jury that tried the case and other
signers to a lengthy petition, grant
ed a pardon to Edward Smith who,
With Albert Protein, was convicted in
this city in December, 1902, on rob-
berry charge.
The executive in his letter to the
board of pardons stated that Smith
las good prison record and that his
application has been pending for
three years, but for satisfactory rea-
sons was undisposed of. He thought
i; a proper case for pardon. He ex-
pressed the belief that Smith will
make a good citizen, and calls atten-
ton to the fact that his partner in
crime, Protein, was .pardoned in De-
cember, 1905. With good behavior,
Smiths sentence would expire in
September, 1909.

CLAIM KILLING
WAS JUSTIFIED
MELVILLE PLACED ON TRIAL FOR
MURDER AT HELENA.

Helena. Nov. 21.-George Melville
was placed on trial in the district
court today on the charge of killing
Winfield Guthrie, and the hearing
promises to attract great interest.
Melville and Guthrie were employed
at a mine near here, the victim board
ing with Melville. The defense admits
the killing, but declares it was done
because Of abuse OF Mrs. Melville.
Melville and his wife were the chief
actors in the celebrated bigamy case
at Butte two years ago, they being In
Jail simultaneously on that charge.
Mrs. Melville had also achieved fame
by testifying against a former hus-
band for the murder Of her father,
which resulted in his life imprison-
ment. Although very young woman,
she has been married three times, and
the prosecution endeavors to prove
that the deed was done because Of
jealousy.

Forsyth, Mont, Nov. 21.-Jonn Be-
langer, a representative of the Bill
ings Enquirer and Major Edwards, a
we'll known banker and prominent
citizen Of Forsyth, engaged in an al
tercation in Forsyth yesterday after
noon, during which Belanger was
knocked down three times by Mr..
Edwards.
Mr.. BelangeI arrived in Forsyth on
the Wednesday train and commenced
soliciting for the weekly paper which
he represents. He gave out a num-
Der of issues, which are said to have
contained statements derogatory to
Mrs. Edwards. Major Edwards took
exception to these statements. Be
LANCER is said to have assured some
Eeople that he was here to back them
up.
During their alteration Major Ed
wards knocked Belanger through the
window of drug store and knocked
rim down two ether times. When he
was knocked down the last time an
officer interfered. Belanger claims
that while he was down the second
time he was kicked by an outsider.
The concensus of sympathy in this
community seems to be entirely with
Nj. Edwards.

NANclAL sTRINGENcY.
WANTS A GUARANTEE
Nebraskan Says That Steps Should
Be Taken by Government to Guar
antee the Depositors in Banks-
Opposed to Postal Savings Banks.

Washington, Nov. 21.-William J.
Bryan arrived here today and attend
ed the wedding Of the daughter Of a
friend. He had a conference with
several other friends. To reporters
Mr.. Bryan said: III
THE administration is prepared, 80
We are informed, to recommend a
POSTAL savings bank. While this
would doubtless encourage deposits,
and while these deposits could In
turn be handed over to the banks, it
Goes not furnish complete relief be-
cause the plan as presented, limits
deposits and does not contemplate the
operating Of circulating accounts
The business community therefore
cannot use the postal savings banks
TO any great extent, and besides it
would take some time to inaugurate
q postal savings system and secure
the necessary number Of employees to
make the plan effective throughout
the country. III;
Il believe 1t Is possible for the gov
ernment to give immediate relief by
an act of congress providing for the
guarantee by the government of all
deposits in all national banks, the
hanks thus guaranteed to reimburse
the government for any losses in
Cured and to make this reimburse
ment in proportion to their deposits.
The advantage Of this plan is:
Advantages Of Plan.
"First-That every depositor in
such guaranteed bank will feel Sc
cure.
''Second-The expense Of it will be
paid by the banks, which get the ben
eft of it, and this expense will be
small compared with the benefit
gained.
"Third-It can be put into effect i'm
n1ediately, thus restoring confidence
and Grabbing business to be resumed.
''It is probable that all the national
banks would be willing to take advan-
tage of this guarantee because the ad-
ditional security given to their depos-
itors would be of great advantage to
the banks. During the past 40 years
the average annual loss to depositors
has been small, less than one-tsnth
of one per cent, so small that it would
be an Insignificant tax upon the four
or five billion dollars of deposits. The
government would have ample secur-
ity in the capital surplus for the banks,
which would voluntarily join in the
plan.
"The only objection that occurs to
me is that state banks must be less
attractive to depositors il national
banks are guaranteed. But there are
two answers to this objection. In the
first place, state banks are likely to
suffer If this financial stringency con
tinues, and they are therefore inter-
ested in restoring confidence; in the
second place, there is no reason why
state banks should not be protected
by a similar system under which the
state would guarantee depositors in
state banks and collect the expense
from state banks guaranteed
