REV. J. S. THOMSON
breaches ON BIBLE NAMES

Rev. j, S. Thomson, pastor of the
Independent Church of Christ, preached
a sermon on "The Bible Names of God"
yesterday. He said in part:
El is one of Gods names in the
Bible. 1t signifies power. Christ on
the cross called upon this name of
Cod Ell. Eli, my God, my God" In
his sense of weakness he invoked the
God of help.
Elohim is another name of the divine
being in the Bible, 1t is the plural of
El-Elohim means literally Gods. In
the first chapter of Genesis we are in
formed that Elohim created the earth
and the two heavens, and that they
made man in "Our image after our
likeness" God always works through
agencies, agents. laws and forces. He
does nothing directly. These Elohim
co-operated as one in the creation of
the world. We say "the United States
is great and rich nation" We use a
singular verb because we regard the
States as one power SO the work of
the Elohim Is regarded as the result of
harmonious effort, Therefore the plu-

JUDGE LEN|ENCY

Man Released from Paying Fine Be-

Again Arrested on Charge
of Drunkenness

After having been released on Friday
by Police Judge Chambers from serving
a sentence or paying fine on charge
of drunkenness, because his wife and
family of five young children were In
absolute want, ]. III. Ditzler, who lives
In a lodging house near the Arcade de-
pot, was again arrested for drunkenness
last night and placed behind the bars
of the city Jail.
The policeman who arrested Ditzler
last Thursday night found his wife and
family the next day in their squalid
apartments on the verge of starvation
and in the most pitiable condition OF
poverty. The poor mother was trying
vainly to make soup of dry bones, and
told the officer she had not had meal
I'm three days
When this tale was told to the police
judge by the sympathetic officer the
magistrate permitted the man to go
without fine.
He will probably be dealt with harshly
when he appears for the second time
before the judge from whom he OBJ
tanned leniency before.

NEW OVERSEER
MAKES REFORMS
Don A. Chick Expects to Have Foor
Farm In Such Shape That
Grand Jury Cannot
Complain

Don A. Chick, the appointee of the
board of county supervisors for su-
perintendent of the county poor farm,
will take official control of that insti-
tuition this week to try and lift 1t to
such a condition that the next grand
jury will be unable to complain of the
treatment accorded the old people.
Chick is considered thoroughly COM
petent for the position and a host of his
friends are rejoicing over his appoint
ment. The new superintendent is one
of the oldest and best known stage me-
chanics in the United States. For more
than a score of years he has travelled
with prominent artists, winning honors
because of the skillful manipulation OF
stage devices.
Four years ago he was appointed
deputy sheriff under Sheriff White and
was given the position of bailiff in de-
partment four of the superior court
About six months ago he was Offered
the management of the Hotchkiss thea
ter and he began work Immediately tC
secure a competent company. He had
hardly time enough to get started wher
he was thrown from Main street cal
and his left foot mangled so that ampu-
tation was found necessary
At the time of Chicks recovery from
the accident, the grand jury DeSan lts
investigation of the county poor farm
1t was found to be insanitary and un-
fit for the old people to live in. When
the beds were beaten Vermin dropped
to the floor. Improper ventilation
caused the old people much annoyance
and they were in constant danger OF
burning themselves up because of the
necessity of carrying lighted lamps
about.
The grand jurors made their COM
plant and the supervisors promised to
do something as soon as the bond elec-
ton was called. The bond election,
however, failed to materialize, and the
bonds were voted down.
All the plans for improvements at the
old peoples home had to be put i-Side,
for there was no money. For a second
time the grand jurors sent a special
committee to the home and an urgent
report for much needed repairs and
improvements was made.
At that time the supervisors prom
ised better things. The appointment of
Chick fulfilled one promise and he is
expected to begin righting wrongs at
once.
Better food is to be given the old peo-
pie and more comforts. One of the
chief complaints made by the grand
Jurors was that the ole people were
compelled to do work beyond their
strength, and Chick will do away with
that objection at once by arranging a
new system of tending the farm and
it's dairy and hennery.

GIRL DISAPPEARS
LIKE DAWN FISHER
FAMOUS CASE MAY BE RE-
PEATED
Thlrteen-Year-old Child Leaves Home
In Early Morning Hours and
the Family Is Driven
Distracted

Los Angeles may have q second
Dawn Fisher mystery, and with the
mysterious disappearance of that little
girl still in mind the police are bend
ing all their efforts to locate Hattie
James, a 13-year- old girl who left her
home at 1920 Rubio street some time
between $3.50 and $3.50 o'clock yesterday
morning without hat, coat or belt, and
Of whose present whereabouts her par
entS have no knowledge.
At $3.50 yesterday morning the little
girl was seen by her father when he
arose from bed to go to his daily
work. She was sleeping soundly, and as
he bent over the bed and kissed her
good by she smiled gently in her sleep
and murmured Papa"
Three hours later her mother arose
and went into the room where the lit
tie girl slept, only to find the bed va
cant and all trace of her daughter gone.
Distractedly the mother hurried from
the house and to the homes of neigh
bors. None of them had seen the lit
tie girl and for several hours neigh
bors searched the vicinity seeking
vainly to find some trace of the missing
girl.
They were unsuccessful and at last
the father was notified of his daugh-
ter's disappearance and hurried home
to assist in the hunt.
Wears Pink Dress
About noon Mrs. James visited the
police station and reported her daugh-
ter's absence. She told the detectives
that after searching through her
daughters wardrobe the only clothing
she could find missing was a little pink
dress and n pair of shoes and stock
ings. Her hat hangs in it's accustomed
place and the little dress which had
been laid out Saturday night to be
donned Sunday morning still hangs
across a chair.
The family is nearly distracted over
the absence of the child and fear some
harm has befallen her.
According to Mrs. James her daugh-
ter had no intimate friends. She has
attended school regularly, but has not
been in the best Of health, and 1t has
been frequently necessary to keep her
home. The child Is said to suffer from
frequent lapses Of memory and Mrs.
James thinks it is possible her mind
may be slightly impaired.
The case is said by the police to be
similar to the Dawn Fisher case in
many respects. Dawn Fisher was Is
years of age. She disappeared from her
home early last May while on her way
| to school and has not since been To-
Gated. Frequent reports that she had
| been found in different cities in the
country were received by her parents
but although all clews were run dowr
they were all found to be false ones.
The little James girl is described as
being slightly large for her age. She
is blonde and exceptionally pretty

MEXICAN KILLED
IN DRUNKEN ROW
Companions are Arrested and Assert
That Shot Was First Fired by
Some One They Did Not
Know

Cruz Rojas alias Cruz Estrella,
Mexican, was murdered by some un-
identified person at $50 yesterday
morning in what is said to have been a
drunken fight and five men who were
with him are now under arrest and are
being held at the police station while
the circumstances surrounding the af-
fair are being investigated.
The men who are under arrest are
Francisco Franco, Calleteno Cuella, p.
Martinez, e. Martinez and Marceline
Quintana, all MeXicans. The two Mar
tinez men are brothers.
According to the information at the
hands of the police, Rojas in company
with his five companions passed Satur-
day night visiting the different saloons
in the lower district of the city. They
are said to have drank considerable
whisky and became intoxicated. About
$50 o'clock they started for their homes
but when they reached Atlantic and
Wilson streets engaged in an argument.
A number of blows were struck when a
shot was suddenly fired and Rojas fell
to the pavement. His companions are
said to have at once separated, leaving
the man lying on the pavement.
Negro Woman Finds Body
Soon afterward a negro woman living
Il SIlOrt ulSldHCe away saw IIle DOQy ana
telephoned the police. The wagon was
sent for 1t and it was taken to CARROTS
undertaking establishment, where an
autopsy was held little later. 1t was
found the man had been struck on the
back of the head with a blunt instru-
ment and his skull was fractured. He
was also shot In the back, the bullet
passing through the body and coming
out the front.
Detectives T. and L. Rico were de-
tailed on the case and in company with
Sergeant Smith soon rounded up all
Of Roja's former companions.
According to the stories told by the
prisoners at the police station they were
walking along the street with Rojas
They deny having had any argument.
They saw man who appeared to be
intoxicated suddenly start shooting at
them from some distance away. They
deny having seen him plainly. They
say it was one Of his bullets which
killed Rojas. They say they do not
know how Rojas received the injury to
his head.
Their statements are not believed and
they are being closely questioned by
the police, who hope to receive a con-
fesslon from one Of mem today.
A coroner's inquest will be Id this
afternoon at 1 o'clock.
