BELL TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
Californian Gets Letter from Bryan
Relative 20 Programme

Los Angeles. Cal, June 25.-Theodore A.
Bell, an attorney. of Napa, and Demo
cratic nominee for governor. will be tenn
porary chairman Of the Democratic na-
tional convention at Denver. This was
confirmed to-day. when Bell received a
letter from ". J. Bryan. in which the
leader outlined briefly some Of the mat
ters which will be put before the con-
vention.
Mr.. Bell refused TO make public the
full contents of the letter. but from con-
versation with him it was gathered that
one of the most prominent planks. and
one upon which the strongest fight Will
be made. will be a declaration against the
increase Of child slavery in America and
the consequent increase Of nliteracy.
Mr.. Bell says he will call the atten-
ton of the convention to a government
inquiry and report which will prove con-
clusively that under prosperity at least
100000 children have been robbed OF edu-
cation and forced 70 work for wages, the
beef trust being the chief offender.

CLUB ENTITLED
TO SELL DRINK
CALIFORNIA HELD TO BE So
CIAL ORGANIZATION
WAS NOT FORMED TO CARRY ON
ILLICIT TRAFFIC
Police Justice Rose Points Out Prose-
cutlon Has Not Shown That
Any Of the Members Are
Total Abstainers

To the inadvertence of the prosecu-
ton in neglecting to prove that there
are any total abstainers in the Califor-
mia club is partly due the courts find
ing of not guilty in the prosecution OF
the directors of the club on charge OF
selling liquor without a retail license.
Police Justice H. H. Rose rendered
his opinion yesterday, part of which
reads as follows:
at appears that liquor was dis
pensed to such members and guests as
desired it, either with or without
meals, at a greater than its initial cost
to the club. 1t has been argued by the
prosecution that the result of this
method of distribution is that abstain
ing members reap a profit from this
method of procedure by a lessening of
their monthly dues; but 1t nowhere
appears to be stipulated that there are
any abstaining members of the Cali
fornia club"
The court went on to say that there
was no decision in this state bearing
on the case, and that decisions in other
states were most conflicting.
Upon the whole, we think the intent
with which liquor Is sold must govern.
Ii the object of the organization of the
club is merely to provide the members
with convenient place for obtaining
a drink when they desire it, or If the
10TH VI Is llO lAAOAC imam q
pretense. so that any person without
discrimination can procure liquor by
signing his name in a book, or buying
q ticket or slip, thus enabling the pro-
prietor to conduct an illicit traffic for
profit, then it falls within the bounds
of this ordinance.
but, on the other hand, If the club
is organized and conducted in good
faith, with limited and selected men,
bership, owning their own property in
common. not operating bar as bus
mess but only as a means of distribut-
ing it's liquor to its members and
equalizing the expense of such dis
tribution. then it would seem that such
a method of distribution, by such an
organization, is merely incidental to
the carrying out of the purpose of the
organization and not conducting, man
aging and carrying on the business and
occupation of a retail liquor dealer"
The directors of the California club
who were acquitted are William M.
Garland, president; Percy r. Wilson.

rotary: Joseph Scott and Philip Forve.
