CONDEMN SALOONS
ON OWENS AQUEDUC7
cHAUTAUoUANs ASK HELP OF
COUNCIL
Revoke City Licenses Of Brewery
Companies That Get Permits to
Open on Route, Prohi-
bitionists' Request

AT the Prohibition Chautauqua tent
yesterday the following resolutions were
passed:
Resolved, That this meeting of citi-
zens hereby enters it's most emphatic
protest against the granting of saloon
licenses along the route of the Owens
river aqueduct. In the name of efficiency
and economy, as well as of decency and
morality, we appeal to the board of super
visors to reconsider the action by which
licenses in this territory have been
granted, and we urgently request our city
council to let it be understood that the
securing of a license on the aqueduct
route by any brewery company in Los
Angeles will mean the revocation of its
license in this city,"
Rev. c. ]. Hall in an address said:
"The Prohibitionsts never had so much
reason to thank God and take courage as
they rave today There never was so
much opposition to the legalized liquor
traffic as there is today, and that senti-
ment grows by leaps and bounds. Thanks
to the persistent efforts of the Prohibition
party workers we have reached a place
where no sane man tries to minimize the
end of the rum curse. 1t is a very well
known fact that so menacing and dicta-
torial has the liquor traffic become that
no man with a grain of patriotism in
his nature can afford to be quiet about
1t any longer.
MEN everywhere are learning that
compromise with this wrong never will

Edendale. where he established spirit
ualists' camp.
When word of his actions was taken to
the county supervisors they requested
the chief of police to give them all the
information in his hands in regard to
Moore and his movements.
In reply to their request Chief Kern de-
tailed officers, who speedily made such a
report that when 1t was presented to the
supervisors they ordered an ordinance
drawn up which paced in their hands the
privilege of granting licenses to mediums
throughout the county.
This new ordinance goes into effect this
week, and it is understood that when
Moore makes his application for a license
1t will be turned down so sudden that 1t
will startle him.
Knowing this t. be fact, Moore is
laying careful plans to defeat any steps
the members of the board may take which
will be detrimental to him.
In realty the fuI which is being col
lected is for the purpose of defraying
Moore's expenses at the next trial. as 1t
is stated 1t is his intention to continue to
practice whether he is denied license or
not
Moore Seeks Funds
Knowing that he will be carefully
watched, Moore is preparing to invite ar
rest and will then call on his dupes to
come forward and stand the expenses of
the trial.
Facing a small auIience in the hall at
227 Mercantile place last night the fake
medium called attention to the new ordi-
nances which have been passed.
1.-The enemies of spiritualism think to
down it, said he, "but they will find they
have undertaken a hard fight. All relig-
ions have had the same thing to contend
with and fight against, but ours will rise,
even as others have done, and will become
the greatest of them all.
"The ordinances which have been passed
are unconstitutional, and it will be possi-
bic to prove them so. They call us takers
and grafters-why. our ideas are Of the
purest, while money is the last thing we
think about.
I'VE are making preparations to fight
these ordinances and we can defeat them
1 am not at liberty to state publicly what
our plans are, but our friends will find
we are looking out for their welfare and
that all will be we'll"
Only few persons attended the lecture,
the majority of them being fellow takers
of Moore. several of whom were en-
ployed by him at the time of his arrest
in this city.

The dispensary system does not control
The Gothenburg system will not satisfy
Men are beginning at last to see that
local option Is inadequate because 1t car
ries permissive feature. Local option
makes legal in one place what is illegal
in another place. Local option is a COM
promise with wrong. Local option leaves
to the whims of a tickle public opinion
the settlement of a great moral question.
People are beginning to understand
that and so, just as truly as the sun
shines, the great mass of people are
turning toward prohibition. The liquor
question has become a live issue in our
politics. Georgia has Joined North Da-
kota Kansas and Maine. Other south
ern states are preparing to fall in line,
and 1t looks as if, just as the north freed
the slaves, the south will lead the battle
for freedom from saloon slavery in the
north.
To-day there are more saloons in New
York state than. there are in all the
southern states put together. More than
20 100000 people live under prohibition in

.BAPTZZER OF
5000 HERE
EVANGELIST PREPARES FOR A
REVIVAL
DR.. J. L. GRIFFIN COMES FROM
THE EAST
With Tent Holding 1000, Negro Min
lister is Prepared to "WeIsh
In with the
Devil"

The ''Rapid Firing Gun Evangelist"
and Gods Prize Fighter in the per-
sonage of Rev. DR.. J. L. Griffin. is in
Los Angeles from the east.
Rev. Mr. Griffin Is a negro preacher of
much power and ability in evangelistic
work among his race and also among
white people.
He started a series of tent meetings
last night at 2211 East Ninth street,
where he proposes to fight the devil with
the different methods he thinks best
adapted to the conditions of the people
whom he addresses from time to time.
Rev. Mr.. Griffin says that when in
the east IL he preached to gamblers he
would fire hot shot at them that hit
them hard, but when preaching to diff
ferent and quiet class of people he used
altogether milder methods.
81 do not believe in overexcitement in
religion" said Rev. Mr.. Griffin yester-
day afternoon. 'It is all right for some
people to be light on their feet when
they are converted and happy, but not
to be crazy.
81 do not uphold nor tolerate the crazy
actions of people who shout themselves
into a frenzy and roll over in the dirt.
When number of my hearers show un-
due acts of insanity from overexcitement
merely call the attention of the people
to quieting hymn, which is sung imme-
diately, closing the service"
Gospel OId-Fashioned
DR.. Griffin says that he has preached
in 5000 churches and has baptized 5000
people, and in many cases has had negro
people sit on one side of the church and
the white people on the other side. His
claim is to preach the old-fashioned gos-
pei and to keep harmony among the
classes and sects as far as possible.
At one time 5000 people gathered on
the waters edge at Cairo. ILL.,, to wit
ness the baptizing in the Ohio river con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Griffin. There was a
great deal of old-fashioned enthusiasm at
this monster baptism, where 100 converts
were immersed.
In regard to the work here Dr. Grif-
fin wishes to establish a charitable home
for the poor, blind and decrepit He
says that he will step into the ring with
pounds, but he is not willing to reduce
his weight or compromise with his satanic
majesty
He will preach on ATTEND to Your
Own Business and Let Other Peoples
Business Alone"
Rev. Mr.. Griffin has secured a tent
| for his meetings to accommodate 1000
people, The cost Of this tent is largely
| being paid by the people here who are in
terested in his revival work An organ
has been furnished and also chairs. There
| is yet an Indebtedness on the tent ano
| fixtures which is expected to be paid by
the members of the congregation.

GATHER A FUND
TO FIGHT
NOTORIOUS FRAUDS ARE BACK

Depend on GuIlible Crop DETER
mine to Make One Last
Stand


Driven to the wall and forced to either
give proof that they are proper persons to
be granted licenses to practice medium
ship, Or go out of business, the so-called
spiritualists and petty grafters who have
for years lived off the money they have
been able to fleece from simple-minded
persons are preparing plans to fight the
ordinances passed by the city and county
officials, and in the near future will en-
deavor to prove in court that these ordi-
nances are unconstitutional.
Nearly every medium in Los Angeles
has been approached on the subject. APP
preciating the fact that these ordinances
are sounding the death knell of the
shameful business they have followed
without being molested for so long, the
majority of the spookcters are said to
have signed an agreement to donate a
sum of money into a fund to be used to
defray the expenses of attorneys who are
willing to take up the fight.
Moore Leads Movement
According to one of the number. as
much money will be collected as possible
Nothing is to be said about this fund to
any person who might carry news of II
to the district attorney, but the first time
any spookster is arrested for practicing
without license 1t is to be placed at his
disposal, and the fight will be on.
Hugh R. Moore, the faker who was
driven out of New York Philadelphia and
Brooklyn for taking, Is said to be the one
who drew the plans for the fight and who
is to act as custodian of the fund.
Moore has been denied license to prac-
tice mediumship in Los Angeles county
and was once arrested here for taking.
His wife was fined $40 for practicing me-
diumship without a license in a loca. po-
lice court, at the same time.
After being denied a license in Los An
geles, Moore. left the city and moved to

In 1854

The feast of st. vibiana, principal
patroness of the diocese of Monterey

solemn and impressive services. AT
the cathedral, named in her honor
solemn high mass was held. The deco

The statue, in its golden casket, was

Rev. P. F. Mclaughlin, assistant pas

the life and history of ST. Vibiana. He
took for his text&"Whosoever shall

Some excavations were made IN
1853 in the cemetery of st. Xixtus, one
of the Oldest and largest of the cata-
combs of Rome. 1t is on the Appian
way and called after Pope xixtus Ii,
who suffered martyrdom in 25S. Most
of the martyrs that were put to death
under Valerian were buried by the
faithful in this catacomb of st. Xixtus.
among the relics discovered during
the excavations was the tomb or 81.
Vibiana, virgin and martyr, who was
put to death in the pers ecutions OF the
third century and for centuries she had
slept unknown to the world until the
reign of Pope Plus TX. He caused the
relics to be publicly venerated by the
faithful.

be visiting Rome a year later, just
having been consecrated bishop of the
see Of Monterey ,and Los Angeles. He
asked the supreme pontiff, Plus TX, for
the relics of the saint to place in the
diocese under her patronage.
"This petition was granted and when
Bishop Amat left Rome he had the hap
piness of being the possessor of the
virgin martyrs relics. He had them
encased in figure of wax and brought
to this country The relics were first
enshrined in the historic old mission
of Santa Barbara.
sIater the relics were removed to
the Church of Our Lady of Angels.
Here Bishop Amat caused a painting
to be made representing the finding OF
the body of the saint and of the words
engraved on her tomb.
This picture may be seen at the
Plaza church When this cathedral
was completed the relics were borne in
solemn procession to the new shrine Of
st. Vibiana.
about sixteen years ago the pres
ent altar was erected and the upper
part incloses the present resting placs
of the virgin martyr.
"The wax figure incloses the relics
and shows the innocent Roman girl
sleeping the sleep of the just She is
clad in the rich garb worn by young
women Of her rank and times and there
are also evidences that her noble life
was spent for Christ.
"As Jerusalem is made glorious by
Stephen, and Rome made illustrous by
Agnes and Lawrence so is Los Angeles
placed under the protection of this
virgin and martyr.

washed their robes and made them

Normal Regents, Action.

1t is, indeed. gratifying to the
several papers. the Telegram one of
the most prominent, which made
such grand fight against the dis
elimination by the board of regents
of the State normal schools in favor
of two OF them to the fearful detri-
ment of the other four, to know that
that fight is now practically won and
that all that remains to be done now,
and, which, it is stated. will be done
today. is the formal resembling by
the board of the sweepingly disas-
trous order 1t recently made. The
Telegram and all other papers en-
listed in the opposition to the order
of the board feel that they have done

nobly for the cause Of education and
rejoice over the fact that the board
has come to the conclusion that 1t
made grave mistake, when it adopt
ed the Tough idea.
This action on the part of the
board of regents, however. does not
solve the normal question. but leaves
IT practically where 1t was before the
discriminating resolution was adopt
ed. This action does not convert So
called normal schools into real nor
NAL schools. The latter question
more properly belongs to the legis-
lature, and, about all the board could
expect to do in the matter would be
to make recommendations and sub
nit plans to the legislature for one
or two real normal schools of a
standing that would justify their ex-
istence and support.
1t is hoped the board will take up
the question in this way and that the
legislature will act in manner that
will result in establishing one and
not more than two such normal
schools.

It appears to be true that Umpire
Huling did give out the statement
that he declared the game between
clarksburg and scottdale here for
feited because he was afraid of mob
violence. This is an admission Of
cowardice and his part and a refec-
ton on Clarksburg that ought not
to be passed unnoticed. clarksburg
has the right to demand that he
shall forever be excluded from the
grounds here, and certainly he
should never be allowed to umpire
here any more. But, after all 1T
may not be correct that he made
any such statement, and, until it is
established that he did SO. he should
have the benefit of the doubt.

DwellIngs Urgently Needed.

Charles Il. Harding, manager of
the TINA Glass Company, which has
a naammoth factory here In
course OF construction. which
win be the leading indus
try of the kind in the State, when
put into operation a few weeks hence,
is earnestly asking for houses for the
employees at the factory. Mr.. Hard
ing guarantees to permanently rent
fifty houses as soon as they are COM
pleted. The quality of the houses
will not make 1t hardship on any
one to build them. Such houses as
he wants for his men will rent for
from fifteen to eighteen dollars a
month and that is what he is per-
fectly willing to pay for them, or at
least his men will pay that amount
monthly. This factory being locat-
ed in the Industrial addition near the
east end of the bridge, the houses
wanted should be in that ,neighbor-
hood and it is suggested that they
may be built in East Clarksburg, I'm
ion Heights and Broad Oaks.
Every land owner and every man
who has money to invest should al,
once arouse to the necessity of many
more houses in Clarksburg, If the
community is to advance with the
rapid strides now indicated. Clarks-
burg is growing greater every year
in the number and magnitude of its
Industries and these all require
many men to operate them. They
and their families must be housed.
Many of them will not work here I'M
less they can have their families with
them, and some who do work here
with their families absent will not
remain permanently but come under
the classification OF transients. With
a home provided all would become
permanent citizens, the population
would be increased and the growth
of the city greater.
When the Tuna plant starts it will
afford opportunity to at least three
hundred persons for employment.
Most all OF them must be newcomers.
Many of them have families and will
bring them here and make this their
permanent home, provided they are
afforded residence accommodations.
They must have shelter, they must
have comfort, in short they must
have homes. Their coming makes a
strong demand for more houses, in
deed, makes houses imperative. They
will have employment at good wages
will be a good class of people, such
as are desirable in any community
They will eventually become the
great developers of the section.
Thus 1t is that the urgency for
many houses OF the kind suggested
by Mr.. Harding is apparent and
every citizen in position to help out
in this emergency and to insure a
great future for Clarksburg should
become active at once in the erection
of dwelling houses and cottages.
