CATHOLIC IRELAND
Splendid Tribute to the People Of an
Oppressed Land.

Impressed Idnus
Before England was bcin in to the
family of nations, Ireland was an au-
tonomy, recognized as such by contem-
porary races, says the Hon. Colin
Lindsay.
When Albion was inhabited by
barbarous and savage people, Ireland
was in the height of prosperity When
the Anglo-Saxons were tearing each
other to pieces, Ireland was possessed
of a settled government, and was ad.
rlinistered by wise laws. so ancient
that no one knows precisely the Pc

Universities of Cambridge and Oxford

long been f1ourishing seats of learn

schools knowledge AMI truth.
1t would appear that after SO much
early prosperity Ireland was to enter
the school of suffering, in order that,
by severe trial, she might become

darkness should once more cover the
earth.
Tho dark hour is approaching, the
twilight of civilization is long passed,
and the midnight of satanic barbar-
ism is at hand, under the evil influence
of which many shall fall to rise no

truth for it's own sake then a shadow
has fallen upon the soul. When peo.

and untruth as matter of Indifference
darkness has enveloped :he soul so
that it can no longer distinguish be.

DIR. ORLOFF ORLOW
GIVEN HIS FREEDOM
CHARGES OF EMBEZZLEMENT
DISMISSED
Trouble Between Noted Russian
Psychic and Persian Rug Dealer
Saiu to Have Been Settled
Out of Court

Dr. Orloff n. Orlow, said to be a
member of one of the noblest families
of Russia, deliver into the mnermost
mysteries of psychology, student of
philosophy and art critic, is again
free man, the charges of embezzlement
brought against him by Thomas Kali
jan, a Persian rug dealer, having been
dismissed yesterday by Justice SUM
merfield.
Orlow was arrested two months ago
charged with fraudulently appropriate
ing $500 worth of valuable rugs. His
case has attracted interest, not only
in Los Angeles but throughout the
country generally, and especially in the
east, where, ten years ago, he became
prominent as a clairvoyant and healer.
Six years ago he came to the Pacific
coast, making his home in San Fran
cisco, in which city he later founded
branch of the Brotherhood of Divine
Humanity, the psychological teachings
of which were first begun in British
India. Publicity, however, appears to
have brought about the dissolution of
this society and Orlows next venture
was the establishment of the Interna-
tional Society of Human Endeavor.
When Orlow first appeared in court
he collapsed and his inability to leave
his bed took Justice Summertield to
the philosophers chamber, where he
was arraigned and admitted to bail.
1t is said the trouble between Orlow
and Kaljian has been adjusted out of
court.

BIDS REJECTED FOR
OWENS RIVER WORK
CITY ITSELF TO CONSTRUCT
JAWBONE SECTION
Lowest Figure Offered, That of John
Moran, a Local Contractor, Con-
sidered by Advisory Conn
nittee Excessive

All bids received for the construc-
ton of the Jawbone section of the
owens river aqueduct will be rejected
and the city will build this section
of the conduit under direction of the
city's engineers.
A report from the advisory COM
mittee of the aqueduct, received by
the board of public works late yes
terday afternoon, recommended the re-
lection of all bids.
The advisory committee declared
after a thorough investigation, 1t con-
sidered even the lowest bid received,
which, all things considered, was That
of John Moran, as being excessive,
and that the city could do the work
much cheaper
The committee found the amount
named as a total for the construction
of this section was more than the
amount estimated for the work, and,
based, on figures secured from the
work already done, is of the opinion
the city can do the work and come
much under the estimate, which was
80 900, 900.
John Moran, the contractor who
probably would have received the con-
tract had it been awarded to any one
of the bidders whose figures were
opened by the board of public works
Monday, is a local contractor ana mas
done much work for the city. 1t was
believed, however. that he represented
a combination of local contractors who
had pooled their interests and would
divide the profits in the event the
contract was awarded TO them.
In connection with the recommen-
dation to reject all bids, the advisory
committee asked permission of the
board TO reduce the basis of the tun-
nell at Elizabeth lake to four feet 1t
is now being bored at basis of SIX

Attorney of Jake Valian, Charged with
Killing Fellow Workman Near
Compton, Asks for Writ
of Habeas Corpus

A peculiar legal contention, and one

brought before California court, will
be considered and decided upon this
afternoon when Jake Valian, charged
with killing a fellow workman near
Compton, July 10, appears in Judge
James department of the superior
court on a writ of habeas corpus. The
grounds on which Valian's freedom
is demanded are that Justice T. W.
Edwards of Compton, before whom
Valian was examined, was without
jurisdiction for the reason that the
coroner had failed to file the testi-
mony of witnesses examined before the
coroner's jury and to deliver the
testimony to the justice
Valian's attorney claims the justice
exceeded his jurisdiction and main
tains that, although the process under
which the defendant is now being held,
may be proper in form, it has been is
sued in a case not allowed by law.

that none of the substantial rights OF
the accused man has been infringed,

At the Broadway Department store

to the petition asking the city council
to abolish the present system of dog
catching and substitute the humane
