!oRREY MEETINGS PUT
OFF; NO HALL AVAILABLE
Group Gatherings May Be Held on
Dates Distinguished Man Was to
Have Spoken - He May
Come Later

The church federation has been COM
pelled. on account of the inability to
secure a proper place for holding the
meetings. to ask DIR. Torrey to postpone
his coming to Los Angeles.
The Morley skating rink, which had
been secured, was declared by the pulld-
ing inspector not to be in condition
to be used by so large gathering as
would come together IL a meeting of this
kind. After a thorough canvassing or
the city 1t seemed to the federation COM
mi.tee that there was no proper place
available.
DR.. Torrey has been communicated
with, but has not yet been heard from,
SO that the time of his coming, II he
shall agree to come later is not yet
determined.
A plan is now being prepared for the
holding of group meetings during the
time that Dr. Torrey was to have been
here and it is also being planned to
make a vigorous MONDAY evangelistic
campaign throughout the city during
January, at which time large number
of the laymen will be asked to do good
part of the preaching.
Recently a series of evangelistic meet
ings were held in Washington, at which
some of the leading men of America,
engaged ordinarily in different profess
SionS, consented 10 speak. lne pidh VIII
doubtless be formulated next Monuay
and will then be laid before the ministers
of the city for their approval and that
of their congregations.
1t is the desire of those who were so
deeply concerned in the coming of DR..
Torrey to utilize the time that he would
have been here as fully as possible in
special meetings. The hearty cooper
alton of all of the churches of the city
will be asked in preparation for the
coming of DR.. Torrey.

FRENCH NEW SPAPER
PRAISES ROOSEVELT
FRANCE IS MUCH INTERESTED IN
AMERICAN POLITICS
Leading Journal Says Presidents
Popularity Is Great and General
and Extends Beyond
Party Lines
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Dec. 13.-The French press Is
interested in President Roosevelt's declar-
alton that he would not stand for re-
nomination Some newspapers, like the
Gaulois are disposed to believe that he
was forced to this utterance by the
change If public opinion created by the
recent financial crisis, bat papers like
the Temps reject any motive which im-
putes bad faith to the president.
'The popularity of President Roosevelt
is great and general" the Temps says.
"It surpasse5 party limits, and in spite
of the camI aign of the trusts against
him the American people remain devoted
to the upright strenuous and patriotic
chief, who las rendered them great ma
terial se~vices''
Continuing. the Temps says it believes
that even after the retirement of Presi-
dent Roosevelt his prestige will still en-
able him 70 exercise a decisive role. His
voice will be heard, needed and obeyed
aside from the errors incident to hu-
man nature, the great merit of President
Roosevelt's rocy was that it was natural
and not limited to a party, and he has
placed America in the front rank Of pow
ers. No chief executive has filled mis-
office with greater instinct than has
President Roosevelt"

He Was to Have Been Mar

e. Brennenstuhl, said to be a waiter
or restaurant employe, was arrested at

Dear Helen: Don't worry. I will be
back soon."
When her fiance failed to appear after
several hours wait Miss Rice reported
his disappearance to the police and asked
them to aid her in finding him.
She thought he had been held up ana
robbed or murdered or run down by a
street car.

and Patrolman Bowe were put to work
on the case and they found Brennenstunl
late last night reciy to board a tram
for Sacramento. He had ticket 1or
that city and of the $50 of Miss Rice
