PASADENA, May 19.--Several hun
dred men, representing the component
church organizations of the Federation
of Mems clubs of Pasadena, gathered
at o'clock this evening at the Pres
byterian church for the second annual
banquet of the federation.
DIR. Jean F. Loba, pastor of the West
Side Congregational church, was the
toastmaster of the evening. The first
part of the speaking was taken up by
the pastors of the city, who gave three
minute addresses, bringing each the
greetings of the club and the church
which he represented to the federation
Rev. Arthur S. Phelps. d. D., pastor
of the Central Baptist church of Los
Angeles, delivered the address of the
evening on 1.-THE New Citizen" He said
in part:
"A notable change of sentiment has
taken place within the present genera
ton regarding national and interna-
tional questions. Our mental attitude
is in q transition stage, and transition
is not altogether an agreeable state OF
mind Irritation at these new senti-
ments is only another name for indo-
lence.
1.-THE new citizenship demands a new
patriotism. Patriotism is something
more than joining Justify in our ma
tional songs, many of which, 1t must
be confessed are somewhat bloodthirs-
ty Young Mr. Hobson argues seriously
for a larger navy as means or pre-
serving peace. To KEEP your boy from
getting into trouble, give him pistol.
1.-The new citizenship stands for I'M
selfish devotion to the country's best
interests. Selfishness is treason. We
look for a universal brotherhood. Ex-
ample is the seed and public sentiment
the harvest.
1--WE stand for higher public moral
ity for wiping out from the civic fabric
the foul faint of impurity. Save your
country by saving its humblest citf-
zens. Human sympathy is the fairest
flower which God has planted in the
garden of the human heart"

81 eciaI to Tho Herald.
SANTA MONICA, May 19.-Inability
to lead an obstreperous calf down Utah
avenue without resorting to tactics
which were considered rude by an in
dignant bystander caused the arrest
today of William Tecumseh Simpson,
the negro who bears the proud title of
poundmaster of Santa Monica.
A. P. Elliott was the offended wit
ness of the poundmaster's alleged irri-
tation. He lodged a complaint against
Simpson, and the latter will be tried
tomorrow on a charge of cruelty to
animals.
By a curious coincidence the pound
master will be tried by Justice of the
Peace Steele. whose horse Simpson cor
rallied and impounded some time ago
at a cost to the judge of 81 ransom.
Simpsons faith in human nature is so
great he will waive the privilege of
trial by jury.
