FRATERNAL SOCIETIES

members and their friends, who had
assembled to enjoy a social time.
Mr. Davis will probably be appointed
to succeed himself as state deputy of
California, as he stands well with
Head Consul A. n. Talbot. He has
made a good record as a hustler dur
ing the past year
Vernon camp viii have eight dele
gates to the convention, which delega-
tion will be quite q factor I'm electing
or defeating whatever candidates Ver-
non chooses to indorse.
Golden State camp held very en-
thusiastic meeting last night. as It does
every Wednesday evening. Eight new
candidates were initiated and twelve
applications for membership read.
Plans for sending the drill team to the
head camp at Peoria in June were dis
cussed at length, and considerable
money pledged by various members
toward defraying expenses. 1t will
cost, to properly equip the team for
the trip and for expenses during the
entire time, about $4,000. AS Golden
State has a membership of 1900 1t will
eb only a small matter to raise the
necessary money to send the team to
Peoria. The boys are drilling faith
fully twice a week and will be In fine
fettle when they land in Peoria.
Golden State camp is growing very
rapidly, regardless of the fact that
times are not as. good as they were
five or six months ago. The camp had
forty policies issued to It's credit in
February, and will have about an
equal number for March.
District Deputy J. O. Burgess visited
Pomona camp Wednesday evening and
reports having had very enjoyable
time Pomona camp is quite lusty
camp with a large membership con-
sidering the size of the city. The boys
down there are all enthusiastic work
ers and bring good many new ones
into the fold.
Old Bill Taylor. one of the wheel
horses of Golden State camp and who,
by the way is an aspirant for dele
gate to the head camp, is not eating,
sleeping or praying at the present
time, owing to the fact that he is hav-
|. ing some work done on his teeth. Bill
has been such hearty eater all his
life that he has overtaxed his teeth,
and the molars and grinders are CIV
| ing out He says that the dentist
bored into his teeth with a bit and
brace and that the effect is very dis
queting to his nerves Bill Is a peevsh
old rascal when his teeth hurt, so 1t
would not be well for any members of
| the camp to ask him anything about
| his session with the dentist.

FORTY-EIVE DAYS
Physician Refuses to Allow Further
Attempts to Awaken Sleeper.
Fears She May
Die

DR.. Barber, superintendent of the
county hospital, has given orders that
no more attempts be made to awaken
Mrs. Beulah Hawkins, who yesterday
had been asleep for forty-five days.
Several days ago, fearing If the wom-
an be allowed to continue her comatose
condition she might die from wasted vi
tality, DR.. Barber invited persons, who
claimed to be able to awaken her to
endeavor to rouse the sleeping woman.
Friday a member of a mental science
cult attempted to use influence to re-
lease the woman from her long trance,
but the effort was unsuccessful and
only resulted in the sleeper's eyelids
fluttering slightly for few seconds.
Mrs Hawkins case is considered one
of the most remarkable on record. She
Is given nourishment through a tube,
and is about in the same condition now
as the first week of her trancelike con-
dition.

GRAND OLD MAN
Sneaks on Educational and Literary
Lines and Civic Projects-Es-
chews Dogmatic Discus
slons on Creeds

DR.. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, as scheduled,
arrived ia Los Angeles yesterday and
took UP his headquarters at the Hotel
Hayward. DIR. Jones is one of the
leaders of the Unitarian church and
presents the appearance of man of
good physique, endowed with sturdy
character and with mind expressive
of clear, independent thought. His
long, gray beard gives him the appear
ance of patriarch.
When seen yesterday at the hotel he
said:
1.-THE principal object of coming to
this coast was to deliver the address
on Founders day at Stanford univer-
sity. On my way here I spoke at Den
yer on 'Ibsen's Pillars of Society. AT
the university at Reno, New, / adj
dressed the students on general educa-
tional topics. At San Francisco and
around the bay I made several ad-
dresses. spoke at two of the theologi-
cal schools at, Berkeley, followed by
addresses at Oakland, Alameda, Kent
field and San Jose.
81 have further planned to speak at
San Diego, Santa Barbara. at the
Thatcher school in the Ojai valley,
Portland, Ore, Seattle and Bellingham.
Wash, and to return home in Chicago
by April u"
In speaking of his annual trips DR..
Jones expressed his delight of warm
er climate than that Of the Windy City,
especially adnirng Southern Callfor-
MIA. He continued:
Makes Annual Visit Here
"I have made a practice for several
years to visit warmer climates in
March. This is my third trip on this
coast Last year I visited Arizona and
the year before I was in Texas. My
time is much occupied in my travels in
speaking upon topics on educational
and literary lines. | am also much in
terested in civic projects"
With reference to religious creeds DIR.
Jones said, as he arose from his chair
and quietly paced the room:
"I take but very little interest in
dogmatic discussion. My ideas run in
the direction of practical religion and
the problems of society. AS for the old
orthodoxy 1 think 1t is decidedly n
past issue and new ideas are asserting
themselves that meet the growing
thought of the enlightened world. II
forms a competition as in the life of
trade and is winning out on those lines.
But one thing that is constantly
before my mind and attention is my
paper. The Unity. of whieh I keep
continually in touch and to which !
send weekly communications"
DIR. Jones will speak this morning in
the First Unitarian church and on next
Wednesday evening will lecture at that
church on "The Three References"

ALL worlds records for a years pro-
duction of milk have been broken by a
Wisconsin bred Holstein COW, according
to the semi official test conducted by the
Agricultural Experiment Station at the
University of Wisconsin,. under the di-
rection of Prof. F. w. Woll. According
to a statement just issued, this cow,
known as Colantha 4th's Johannah bred
and owned by w. j. Gillett of Rosen-
dale, Wis. has produced during the,past
year q, 1925 pounds of milk and 990.256
pounds of butter fat This amount of
butter fat is over 16 per cent. higher
than any previous record for annual pro-
duction of butter fat. The production
of nearly 1000 pounds of butter fat dur
ing tho year is equivalent to about |, l65
pounds Of commercial butter, or consid-
erably over three pounds of butter for
every day 10 the year. The butter fat
production Of this Holstein COW is as
much as the total production of six COM
mon cows on the farms Of this and other
states in the Union.

CALEB POWERS has been tried four

three juries were made up of democrats
and found Powers guilty. But for the
highest court in the state he would have
been hung. The latest jury stood ten to
two for his acquittai Nevertheless, the
judge denies the accused, who has been
deprived of liberty for eight years, the
privilege of bail. Many witnesses in the
case have peen juggled with on the
strength of the 100000 appropriation.
Some have died or disappeared. Posi-
bly, the murderer himself, whoever he
may be, has been knowingly used to
swear away the lives of the innocent. 1t
is grim travesty on justice and free in
situations. 1t began when the plotters
against the ballot got to work. Goebel
had pistoled personal enemy to death
on street of the town where he lived.
His record is fearful one from the mo-
ment he schemed to substitute the will
of boss for the ballot. 1t is only when
the whole story is told that the moral
can be drawn.

IMPORTANT steps in the progress OF the
coast extension of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway are announced by
F. A. Miller, general passenger agent.
Train service will be established jan
uary u to Marmarth, N. D., thirty miles
west of Bowman, N. D.. the present end
of the line. On the same date local SER
vice will be put on between Harlowton
and Musselshell, Mont. These two
towns ere in the central part of Montana
and are ninety two miles apart. Work
has advanced so rapidly that trains will
probably be running between st. Paul
and Butte some time in May or June.
By the middle of February it is expected
that most of the construction work will
be finished. Already the grading has
been practically completed and rails are
being laid at the rate of four miles day.
Marmarth, to which trains will be run
this week, is about 200 miles west of the
Missouri river. While construction crews
are advancing westward from this place
Others are working eastward along the
Musselshell valley. It is thought that
the two lines will be connected and the
bridge built across the Yellowstone at
Miles City by the middle of next month.
According to present plans the Milwau-
kee g. st. PauI's coast extension will be
completed to Seattle early in 1909.

THE Whitewater Reg lister suggests
that the next Legislature pass law re-
pealing all acts oft he last ten years and
then comments on the proposition rs
follows: A few measures might possibly
be re-enacted with benefit to the state
and to vested interests, but all attempts
in that direction ,hould be scrutirized
closely and with jealous suspicion. When
we remember that the assessment OF the
state has been enormously increased and
that at the same time the tax rate has
been increased also, and that the ex-
pense OF the state government has been
several times multiplied within ten
years. is it not time for the common
people" who pay the most of the bills to
put up boiler and demand not only
that reform" should be electrocuted
but also that it's works in the main be
consigned to the sewer and the ash heap.

In A recent address, President Schur-
man, OF Cornell University, denounced
the heavy expenditures Of the govern
ment for the army and navy, and de
clared that they we're serious burden
upon the people. He is right. The ex-
penditures for these purposes are high,
and the people regret it. DR.. Schurman
did not give figures, but if he had done
so the exhibit would have been impress
sive. For example, in 1897 the army
cost, in round figures, 100000 and
the navy S35000,000, while in 1907, the
cost, respectively, reached the enormous
totals of S122,O00,O00 and S97.0O0,000.
But we must bear in mind that, between
1897 and 1907. the situation of the
United States reveals sweeping change.
The Spanish war of 1898. and the Phil
ippine rebellion of. 1899 OIL. came in the
interval. The Spanish war made imper-
alive an Immediate and large increase in
our army and navy, aud the annexations
of territory in the Pacific and Gulf OF
Mexico which were among the results OF
the war have compelled US to keep both
arms of the service at higher level in
strength and efficiency than they were
immediately before that conflict.
