'.Pasadena, with population Of
about 5000, has officially 1151 dogs, fol
the fiscal year 19O7-0S, a ratio OF ap.
proximately one to every twenty-foui
people. Our neighboring city of Los
Angeles, with population of 100000
more than ten times as large as Pasa'
dena, had during the same fiscal veal
only 6122 licensed dogs. a ratio of ons
to every forty-nine people. ASSUMING
the conditions to be similar. then about
one-half the dogs in Los Angeles ars
not licensed.
Pasadena is. of course, more of 8
residence city than Los Angeles. and
the number of possible and suitable
homes for dogs Is proportionatelS
greater so that it would perhaps not
be correct to say that there were ovel
5000 unlicensed dogs In Los Angeles
during the past fiscal year. II woulc

Twelve men are now in the jury box

a total of 53 veniremen who have been
questioned since the trial began, eight
days ago.
! On the face of the examinations al

While each one of the IL men
has shown himself to be legally
eligible for jury service the trend

dividuaI cases and the attitude taken

as a token of intention, the prosecu-

defense will send three others on their

DEMANDS PLAN FOR

Mission Improvement Assocla=
tion Asks What Parts of
City Are to Benefit
Board of Works Will Be Asked
to State Intentions as to
Various Issues

The Mission Improvement association
wants to know just what portions OF
San Francisco are to be benefited by
with this end in view a committee has
been appointed to investigate the mat
ter This committee consists of James
Rolph Jr and Matt l. Sullivan. Sulli-
van insisted that the board of public
works ought to submit a definite plan
of the various items of the issue.
The association decided to request
the board of supervisors to set aside
the industrial school property at San
Jose and Ocean avenues for park and
playground.
The association adopted resolutions
thanking Captain NJ. Q. Anderson for
his services at the Mission police sta
tion and pledging their support to his
successor, Captain McManus.
Strong resolutions protesting against
the continuance of the pesthouse In the
Mission district were adopted and Will
be presented to the board of super
visors These resolutions will be
backed up by a large committee from
the association and delegations from
the district near the pesthouse-
Matt l. Sullivan submitted long
report on the insurance problem In the
Mission. This report states that ex-
tortionate rates are charged for In
surance in spite of the fact that fire
protection is better now in the district
than it was before the big fire. num-
Der of abandoned cisterns have been
cleaned out and 2e additional hydrants
have been installed. In view of these
facts, Sullivan recommended that the
board of underwriters be petitioned to
reduce the present oppressive rates II
they fail to do so he advises the en-
couragement of companies independent
of the board, and if no relief can be
had there he recommends the forma-
tion of mutual insurance companies.
To bring the present companies to time
he sug gests that candidates for the
legislature be pledged by the voters to
enact legislation prohibiting combina-
tions and agreements among insurance
companies.

Unitarian
Playing Religion

1t is only too evident that many
Christians are just playing religion. 1t
Is not a vital fact--it is not the vital
fact-in their life and actions. They
have apparently never taken Jesus at
his word. They have never considered
his commands as imperative. They
have sought to buy immunity with his
blood; they have built countless tenn
pies in his name and honor; they have
twisted few of his phrases into a
creed; they have crowned him King OF
the Skies; but they have never really
believed what he said or done what he
plainly commanded they should do.
They have done everything for him but
the most important-obey his word
and follow his example.

very outset of his examination and

Question of Immunity Reserved

J. Dalzen Robertson appeared before
the grand jury yesterday and told in
detail of the wrecking of the California
safe deposit and trust company. His
confession implicated j. Dalzell Brown,
manager Of the bank, and an indict-
ment was returned against him on the
same charge on which Robertson had
been indicted.
The indictment recites that Brown
caused to be entered on the general
cash book of the bank false figures
which covered the misappropriation Of
sI2,5O0 and that Brown, knowing these
figures to be incorrect, showed them
20 the bank commissioners as the true
statement of affairs of the bank.

secret known only to one man,
James H.. Jones.

Dramatic were the scenes surround
ing the close of the Civil war, when
jeff Davis realized that the confeder-
acy was doomed. One of the most in
teresting features was the method he
took in disposing of the seal of the
confederacy. He called to his side his
personal bodyguard, James H. Jones,
a negro at the southern capital in
Richmond, and said:
James, / hereby hand you, solemnly
and sacredly, the seal Of the confed-
crate states of America. The south
ern government is about to fall. This
seal must never be defiled by public
gaze and examination. entrust 10
you the disposition Of 1t as you see ut
Hide it and let no man know where ii
is. Tell not even me and let the secret
die with YOU"
Jones, an intelligent and faithful
negro, accepted the task and up t.
this time has never betrayed his trust
He is at present employed in the sta
tionery room of the United States
senate and is rs years old.
The seal was an enormous silver
affair, which was made in England
and imported through the fedora
blockade of the south to Colonel Davis
then president of the confederacy.

READS TESTAMENT
ONCE EACH WEEK
TEXAS PREACHER DECLARES HE
FINDS SOMETHING NEW
EACH TIME.

Ferris, Tex, Sept. 26.--The Rev. DR..
T. B. Pittman, pastor OF the Baptist
church here and dean Of the Bible
school of the Baptist. University, has
read the bible through each month for
twenty years The fact that DR., Pitt
man had accomplished this feat and
was probably the champion Bible read
er of the country, was discovered by
others. He had not even counted up
his record
The discovery came about in this
way. DR. Pittman frequently lectures
before Chautauqua and church gather
ings upon religious subjects and these
addresses are seldom formal. Rather
they are heart to heart talks upon
what seems to be the most opportune
subject.
So it happened that he was urging
upon an audience of theological stu
dents the Importance OF Bible study
and advantages thereof Incidentally
he said that he had been reading the
New Testament once each month for
many years and he had never failed
to find upon each reading new interests
and new truths. His statement rather
surprised his auditors and they qocs-
toned him further. Then he counted
up, and reached the amazing total of
240 complete readings.
He reads an average Of nine chapters
daily, giving so much time each day to
this form of study, which Is his re-
taxation and amusement. 1t is part
of his daily life--a well fixed habit that
he enjoys just as many men take a
half hour relaxation for their after
dinner cigar.
DR.. Pittman is not carless reader,
although he can repeat many of the
chapters without reference to the text.
He reads the book attentively each
time, inquiringly following the lines
looking for new points of interest.
Now and then to give variety to this
form of chosen exercise, he turns from
the King James version to the original
Greek, which he reads as easily as the
English. Given the book, chapter and
verse, DR.. Pittman will repeat the text
of the more important section and in
his addresses. he turns from one part
of the Testament to another with
great accuracy, never using indicators
to guide him to references.
This familiarity with the Scripture
gives a man vocabulary" says DIR.
Pittman in defending his reading from
a worldly point of view. 1--WE have in
this book the purest Anglo Saxon and
the choicest flow of words of the Eng
lish language. Too, it develops the
spiritual. an essential Of the we'll
rounded character"
He also says the reading of the Bible
is an antidote for manu- of oYr yorasant
ills-commercial, social and spiritual
