POLICEMAN Van METERS
WOUNDS BRING DEATH
Fresno Patrolman, Shot by
Burglar, Dies After Iden-
tifying Murderer

FRESNO, Feb. 21.-Harry s. Van
Meter, the policeman who was SO seri-
ously wounded about midnight by a
burglar whom he caught att work at
the Boss Dye Works at and Inyo
streets, died at noon today. This morn
ing he identified the man who shot
him. The latterS is Ernest Silvers,
formerly of Kansas City, Mo-, who
claims to be a boxmaker by trade.
This is the man who did me up
said Van Meter family when the sus-
pect was brought into his presence
at a private hospital.
Van Meter said last night, not fif-
teen minutes after the tragedy, that
the man who did the shooting was
heavy set, weighing about 165 pounds,
and wore a white hat. 1t was the
white hat, one of a peculiar shade,
and the general build of the man, that
make Van Meters Identification so pos
tive.
Van Meter was wounded in three
places Silvers came recently from
Riverside. The dead policeman was a
son of E. s. Van Meter. prominent
in Democratic and Populist political
circles, and leaves a widow and in
fant child.
Father, I am giving out now, but
they have the right man., were the
last words that Van Meter spoke be-
fore he expired. His father and step
mother were at the dying mans side.

News of Counties Bordering the Bay
Triniti' Home for Berkeley
and Colony at Mt. Diablo
DR.. Frazier Begins
FORMULATION Of
New Cult

BERKELEY, Feb. z1.-Dr. s. n
in this city today by the announcement
In a magazine which he issued as the
organ OF Triniti that he was to found
in Berkeley a Triniu Home. where a
new language would be taught to chill
dren. and where an effort would be
made to build a race that would have
training. teaching and experiences
different from any that had ever been
accorded humanity IN the past. He is
also to establish colony of devotees.
A new language has been invented
by DIR. Frazier. who is leading prac-
tiuoner of the college town, COM
bination of Greek and English char
acters. designed TO lessen the difficult
ties OF education, and also to help
children learn to love the good and
true and beautiful rather than the
evil in the world.
No provision for swear words is
made in DR.. Frazier's new language,
which he calls "Triniti." Such words
as love. and goodness" and kind
ness and all kindred terms are en-
phasized in STriniti." The idea is
TO have a child absorb those words
and the things for which the words
stand, while his education in "Trinitf
is being administered.
The colony of 'Triniti'' people is to
be formed at once. Land for their
homes is TO be procured at the base
of Mount Diablo. Teachers will be sent
there and all the equipment of an ideal
colony. whose members purpose to
make of the "Triniti" cult a serious
profitable business.
DR.. Frazier says Of his "Trinitf
language:
From one-hfth to one-third Of the time in al
business writings could be saved BY this system
and the same writing will 20 upon less paper
be illustrated by one single case: A boy
years old learned the sounds in less than ar
hours time and In less than four hours could
read readily anything written In this system
l have taken the English alphabet and ar
ranged the letters 70 represent In all words
single sound. The English alphabet is not suf
hciently full TO represent all the sounds in the
English language, there being thirty four SOUNDS
elements snd only twenJy-siX letters to repre-
sent them. In this the English language is de
Greek letters and adapted them to sounds L
make up the deficiency in the English alphabet
Hence the Triniu system has q character fol
every sound, and has no other name but tha
elementary. The capitals however, take tht
English and Greek names Of the letters
First learning the alphabet by sounds anC
daily drilling them will beautify the Ian
guage and strengthen the expression of any one
Having learned the sounds, then by a LITTLE
drill words and sentences you will have mas
tered the entire Trinid system. This system Wal
developed through an effort TO adapt method o.
clothed with beauty and its language made NOR,
perfect.
I claim for this system perfect quality an,

that the Right Rev. Thomas J. Conaty.

field Of activity. The Bishops attitude
is that of being ready to work in any

of refusing to take any part In any

at Length
HOPES FOR FUTURE

ALAMEDA, Feb. 21.--Former Gov
ernor George c. Pardee made strong
appeal for patriotism as the remedy Ior
boss rule and corporation corruption
before the Unitarian Club last night.
He paid iparticular attention to the
methods of nominating conventions and
revealed fully the inner workings OF
the machines dominance. He showed
how the apathy of good citizens maze
it possible for the bosses to dictate the
naming of the candidates for whom the
people were later forced to vote.
DIR. Pardee explained how Legislative
representatives were handled when
they arrived at the State and national
capitals and placed under control OF
the superior organization maintained
by the bosses, who in turn were organ
lied and controlled by the great vested
interests. The people, he declared, had
nothing to say about it except TO ratify
such methods by re-electing the same
crowd when they came up again as
the party nominees.
The American people were described
as patient and long suffering, but when
once they go about settling the evils
of the time, d.. Pardee said, they
would settle them as thoroughly as our
forefathers settled the questions of In
dependence and slavery.
The day could be hastened only when
every citizen took an active interest In
the affairs of the community, the for
mer Governor continued, and resolutely
demanded genuine representation. DR..
Pardee said that he was an optinist
and had not the slightest doubt that
the evils of present day politics would
be entirely wiped out In due time.
Traitors in the time of peace were
denounced as far more contemplate
than those in times Of war, for the
latter ran serious risk of death, while
others managed to keep themselves
almost always within the letter Of the
law
