Chas. J. Newman had an I'M
pleasant experience last week in
connection with his trip to New
York whittier he went to see his
mother safely on board steamer
for England. The start from st.
Louis was made Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Newman spent the night
previous at the Terminal Hotel.
Charlie came rushing down to the
hotel a few minutes before train
time. He left his suit case in the
Office and went to seek his mother.
In a few minuetes he came back
but his suit Ease was gone, and,
although runners were sent in
every direction, it could not be
found. 1t was time for the train
to leave, however, and Charlie had
to get on board, his best suit of
clothes packed carefully in the suit
case-whose whereabouts he knew
not. Nothing was heard of the
grip until the following evening
when it was brought to Ironton by
Jordan Johnson, the train porter
on the Belmont branch. S. w.
Andrews, the conductor, had
found the suit case on a Belmont
train with no owner and knew it
belonged here. The supposition
is that the grip was carried on the
Belmont train from the hotel Office
by mistake and when the guilty
party discovered his error he left
it on the train. Meantime Charlie
had to make the trip to New York
without his best suit of clothes and
other paraphernalia. At that,
though, he was glad to recover his
property.

POLICE HEAR OF
MANY ROBBERTES
Burglar conceaIs Himself in Store,
and After Place ls Locked
Secures Money and
Cigars

From the numerous reports of bur-
glaries which have been made to the
police authorities, it is evident Los An
geles is not yet rid of this class of
criminals.
Within the last two weeks the police
have run down several gangs of bur-
glars and it was thought a great deal
of the stealing would cease. Some of
the thefts indicate the robberies were
committed by sneak thieves or Grimm
ais who have not had much experience,
while the daring nature of others points
to the fact that it would take pro-
fessional to conceive and carry them
out
The Louvre saloon, 80 South Spring
street, was entered early yesterday
morning and $29 was taken from the
cash register. Before making his de-
parture the burglar appropriated box
of expensive cigars. 1t is thought the
robber secreted himself In the saloon
and waited until the place had been
locked up for the night, then sailed
forth and secured the contents of the
register.
Another daring robbery was COM
mitted at the building occupied by the
Modern Union Laundry company, at
767 Lamar street, late Saturday night.
The burglars entered the office and Sc
cured the cash register. To be sure of
getting all the money, the men delib-
erately took the register out of the
building into the street. then opened
it and left it out on the sidewalk.
The robbers made a poor haul for their
pains, as the money drawer contained
only 50 which had been LETT as change.
The room of I. Disman at the Ma
tional hotel was entered late Satur-
day night and an overcoat, pair of
shoes and nearly three dozen pair Of
new eye glasses were secured.
H. r. Smith, 608 East Fifth street,
reports his room was entered between
IL and IL Saturday night and a suit
case, dress suit, pair of trousers
and a quantity of shirts were stolen.

POWER OF PRAYER
is SHOWN BY PASTOR
Rev. William Horace Day breaches a
Series of Sermons Under Direc-
ton Of the Mems
League

Rev. William Horace Day. the pas
tor of the First Congregational church,
Is preaching a course of Sunday even
ing sermons under the direction of
the Mems league Last night he spoke
on the subject, "Is Prayer Real?" The
session of the Religious Question club
which followed was one of unusual
interest. Mr.. Day said:
eve know prayer is real when we
learn the true nature of God. Nothing
has been more wonderful in our time
than the development of the idea of
God Men find lit hard to rise to the
level of Jesus vision of God as Father,
and have tried to substitute the God
revealed in the dominating material
conceptions of their time.
"The eighteenth century was mas
tered by Newtons epoch making dis
covery of gravitation, and those who
lost their faith in the Bible made gravi-
tation their ladder to Deity, and they
saw in him nothing but force; but that
proved inadequate to mans need.
"In the nineteenth century thought
was nodded by Mr.. Darwin's doctrine
of evolution. Men tried to reach God
and found nothing higher than a ma
jestic process. Neither force nor process
can meet the needs of the soul.
"The twentieth century Is seeking
another Word--fellowship The God of
fellowship must be personal, control
ing force and process in the interest
of personality, and we find men reach
ing after the God of Jesus as the only
kind of Deity which can make the uni
verse explicable. We must have an
intelligent God before the cosmos can
be intelligible. AS soon as men redis-
cover this Father God of apostolic
faith prayer becomes reasonable and
real.
John Fislxe has interpreted this de-
velopment when he said: In spite of
endless grouping and stumbling (the
soua) has been rising into the recog-
milton Of its essential kinship with
the ever living God.'"
