could be accomplished by campaign

would be encouraged. If anything could

that would be encouraged.
Continuing he said:
I'm fact the trustees will get in touch
with the best authorities In charitable
work and we shall be guided by thelr
advice. OF course It is probable that
we shall make Independent investiga-
tions of our own, but it is too early to
talk of definite plans Of expenditure.
The first thing is to get organized. II
ought to be accomplished In a month";
more or less. We shall then have a
modest office somewhere. just where II
has not been decided, and then pro-
ceed to set the machinery in operation
along careful lines. We want to avoid
hit or miss work"
Mr.. de Forest said that Mrs. Sage,
ever since the death of her husband,
has been studying and planning in ref
erenCe to the best means of carrying
on the large charitable works she had
in mind. She has always been inter-
ested in living conditions, especially OF
the poor and unfortunate. Thousands
of applications for charity have come
to her, but what she desired was some
broad plan of public usefulness and
practical benefit, for the public wei.
fare in general. This decision to spend
$10,000,000 of her fortune to improve
living conditions is the first real decis-
ion she has formed for the establish
ment of any charity on large scale.
Concerning the part Mrs. Sage will
take in the work, Mr.. de Forest said:
mot only has Mrs Sage decided to
give this money for the betterment OF
social conditions, but she will be a
trustee herself and will take an active
part in the work. She is in vigorous
health and is desirous not only of see
ing some active results from her chari-
ties in the years that are left to her,
which we hope will be many, but she
wishes to have the satisfaction of par
ticipating in the work. Therefore she
will try to be one of the most active
members Of the trustees, and of course
her wishes will prevail to large ex-
tent in respect to the expenditure Of
the income"
Mr. de Forest said that the names an
nounced in the first newspaper ac-
counts as trustees were really the in
corporators. The incorporators will
meet as soon as they can, legally, and
then will name the trustees. Probably
all of the incorporators will be trustees,
and it is possible that other names
will be added. The entire present en-
ergy of those interested in the founda-
tion is to get it started, and details Of
operation will not be considered until
the full board of trustees has been
named. Mrs. Sages desires, however,
will dominate the action of the trus-
tees.

Great Soprano Refuses to Be Kid
naped and Tells College Stu
dents They Shall Have
Their Pay

Music hath charms to sooth the saw
age beasts" but it took the additional
power of good hard iron simoleons to
sooth a bunch of Berkeley university
students who were bent on kidnapping
Madame Nordica when the San Carlo
company played at the Greek theater
last week.
To give grand opera right" takes a
large delegation of 'supes," and when
the company struck Berkeley's peace
full strand 1t occurred to the stage man
ager that university students might be
taught the difficult role of soldiers or
banditti or rabble without serious
trouble.
Accordingly a large delegation of the
elect were put through the stage man
ayers hands till they could carry a
spear without falling over it, and the
company was ready to perform.
But soon a dark rumor began run
ming over the campus. The manager
of the "supes" was going to "do" the
boys out of their money. Several per-
formances had passed without any sign
of the pestiferous pelf, and things
looked dark for the college boys.
A consultation was held and it was
decided that Madame Nordica. the
company's star, ought to be worth al

most as much as the combined earn
ings of the youths. Accordingly, it was
decided to kidnap the diva and hold her
as hostage till the "supe" manager
should "come through" with good coin
of the realm. They furthermore de-
cided-and lived by their decision not
to go on the stage till they were paid.
But Madame Nordica got wind of the
affair, and whether the diva preferred
the seclusion of her private car to the
confusion Of a college room, or
whether she felt that she really didn't
need the press notice, at all events she
declined to be kidnapped. Facing the
would-be abductors, she assured them
in her dulcet tones that they were not
to be deprived of their hard-earned
dollars. She promised them that she
personally would be responsible that
they got their money-and the boys
went back. Also, they got their money
without kidnapping the great soprano.
Some of the principals in the at
tempted abduction are we'll known Los
Angeles boys who formerly attended
the local high school. Among them
was Jack McClelland and H. F. Hart
ly, the latter president Of the senior
class at the university.

CALIFORNIA; ANTITRUST Law

The antitrust bill which slipped
through the legislature In the closing
hours Of the session, the complete text
Of which now Is at hand, is one Of the
most astonishing measures that ever
came from the law-making hopper at
San francisco. It's passage can be ac-
counted for only on the ground that
the corporate supervisors Of legislation
were for once indlscreet enough to
leave the capital too hurriedly.
The astonishing feature of the Cart
wright antitrust law Is the fact that
It probably is the most drastic measure
Of the kind passed by any legislature,
Notwithstanding the fact that the ses-
sion was dominated throughout by cor
porate influence, chiefly that Of the
Southern Pacific railway.
The text of the law begins with the
preliminary declaration that "a trust
is combination Of capital, skill or
acts by two or more persons, firms,
partnerships, corporations or assocla-
tions Of persons or Of any two or more
of them" So far as this law is con-
cerned, therefore, two individuals may
constitute q trust, to all intents and
purposes, as fully as great railway
corporation.
Violations of the provisions Of the
law by trust as thus defined is
punishable by a fine ranging from $50
to $500 or Imprisonment mot less than
six months nor more than one year. or
by both such fine and Imprisonment" :"
And each days violation of this pro-
vision shall constitute a separate Of
fense.,"
The specifications relative to offenses
within the purview of the act are far
reaching. They cover, generally, any
act calculated to limit or reduce the
production, or increase or reduce the
price of merchandise or Of any COM

maging, transportation, sale or pur-
chase of merchandise, produce or any

general prohibition strikes the railways
squarely. This feature is amplified by
the statement that the law covers any
contract, obligation or agreement by
which parties constituting a trust
shall bind or have bound themselves
not to sell, dispose of or transact any
article or commodity or by
which they shall agree to pool, COM
bine or directly or indirectly unite any
that they may have connected

when its general features first were
made known, caused CONSERVATION
among the cooperative orange ship
ping associations. A delegation was
sent to the governor to request his in
terposition by a veto, but consultation
led to the belief that the law would not
be applicable to cooperative enter
prises.
II the courts sustain the act fully,
and it is vigorously enforced, it will
prove to be one of the most important
measures ever enacted by a California

RANKRsT OF MONEY TAlNT

Let us hear no noise In Los Angeles
about money "taint" In the offerings Of
Mr. Rockefeller or any other millionaire
whose source of wealth is not above
suspicion.
For money taint that is rank ant
doth smell to heaven" think Of the
$4,000 that went into the Los Angelo.
city treasury from the loathsome earn.
ings Of tho feminine wretches who
net.
Zach Of these wretches was fined s25
and the public treasury was enriched
by the aggregate sum named. Every
dollar OF that money came from the
Infamous traffic Of the red-light dis.
triot, But few Of the miserable Great
ures had the necessary cash in hand
but the miscreants who live off the
women contributed the needful sums
from the surplus earnings in their
pockets,
There could be no more disgraceful
spectacle from the moral point Of view
than that of allowing the scoundrels
who live by these wages Of sin to be
allowed not only exemption from
merited punishment but also to be al
lowed to appear in court of justice
and pay thereto a share of those wages
to secure the release Of the earners.
And what does that release imply ?
That these social outcasts shall return
to the life from which they were taken,
resume their course of iniquity and
with the proceeds repay the obligations
incurred by the prices imposed by the
court.
What else than humiliating trav-
esty upon justice is. such a spectacle as
viewed by this proud community Of
Los Angeles. 1t is a disgrace to the
city.
The law makes it felony either to
maintain house of ill-fame or to rent
premises to be used for such purpose.
Why not go to the root of the infamous
business by Furnishing the scoundrels
who are morally hundred times more
culpable than the poor creatures by
whose horrid earnings they thrive?
And $4,000 of such earnings is in the
city treasury of Los Angeles!
