NEW RECTOR SECURES
FIRM HOLD ON PARISH
SAYS He ACCEPTED DUTIES TO
HELP EVERY ONE
Expresses His Belief in the Efficacy
of Prayer and Faith for the
Recovery from
Ills
fsnecial to The Herald

PASADENA, Nov. 1.-At All Saints
church communion Sunday was devoted
by Rev. L. E. Learned, the new rector,
to Introductory sermons and the. fixed
observanees of the church. His SER
mons urged religion be taken into the
everyday life of the people.
But il is his open letter to the parish
which has gained him most of the con-
fidence already reposed in him. In this
he sets out his views at length.
I never have made much of eccles1-
astica1 differences" he says in this
letter, ''either within or without our
church My chief enthusiasm is for
Christ and for the religion he has be-
queathed to his friends and followers.
Il am not indignant at honest doubt.
/ am not impatient with any school Of
church thought until 1t becomes eX-
elusive and seetarian. 1 am coming 70
Pasadena to be a friend to my people,
and, in so far as time permits, an en-
thusiastic and sympathetic helper to
every man, woman and child who needs
me.
Il believe in the absolute power and
primacy of Christs religion. ] believe
when you are ill you will be saved by
faith and by prayer as we'll as by your
physician and his medicines"
Dr. Learned takes a special interest
in Sunday school work and Will give
considerable of his time to this feature.

COMPLICATIONS ARISE IN
BARTLETT DIVORCE CASE
Letters from Friends in Home City of
Defendant Denounce Charges
Against Her Reputation
as False

SAN BERDARDINO, Nov. Com
plications seem to be arising in the di-
vorce case of DR.. Howard G. Bartlett,
the Indian agent, who was dismissed
from the government service at Needles
last spring because of alleged improper
conduct with some of the young women
of that place.
In a recent hearing of his suit for di-
vorce here he charged his wife with in
fidelity and named his former coach
man at Rome, N. Y, as the co-respon-
dent. Friends say Mrs. Bartlett is
highly respected.
Letters are now coming from friends
of the wife in Rome denouncing the
charges as false and stating that she
is very highly esteemed in Rome and
has just been made the matron of an
orphans home there, having had to
work for a living since the desertion of
her husband.

HALLOWEEN FRANKS
ASTONISH. CITIZENS
CHURCHGOERS OF SANTA MON
ICA BEWILDERED
Signs and EmbIems of Business Are
Juegled in Promiscuous Confusion
and Difficult Feats Performed
by Vandas
rsnecial to The Herald

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 1.-Early
churchgoers were surprised and be-
wildered this morning when they saw
the great changes wrought in one night
in the appearance of this unusually or
derly city.
The first sight which met their gaze
was Democratic banner flying at the
top of the flag pole on the Ocean Front
parade. On top of the old bath house
the two-seated carriage of 3. Suss re-
posed as evenly as on asphalt pave
ment AS a companion piece the order
wagon of Kennedy's butcher shop
straddled the ridge of the warm plunge
baths.
The Los Angeles-Pacific depot at
Utah and Oregon avenues had the ap-
pearance of a junk shop and livery
stable combined, being surrounded by
vehicles of various descriptions, while
on the roof were signs extoling the vir-
tues of well known remedies.
In the center of the "99'' steps lead
ing to the beach a large lumber wagon
had been deftly placed.
In the center of the city signs were
juggled in every conceivable way to
suit the humor of the midnight jokers.
A sedate and innocent looking drug
store displayed the sign Buffet; Mil
waukee Beer on Draught." The water
office was decorated with
the announcement that real estate was
ION the BOOM" while the sign that
should have been there decorated the
one saloon of the north end and stated
the place was the ''office of the Santa
Monica Water company"
Garbage cans were hung on telephone
poles and deposited in Railways, while
the bank displayed a stationer's sign,
and a grocery store sported an an
nouncement it sold "the best drugs IN
town" A meat market gravely an
nounced an embalmer held forth there,
and was "open at all hours"
The crowning act of vandalism con-
sisted in the placing of a large rowboat
at the very doors of The postofflce.
Many inquiries were directed at Post
master Sommerfield concerning the
starting of direct mail service be-
tween this point and Catalina island.

TRY TO SELECT STOPPING
PLACES FOR BAY CITY CARS
Santa Monicans Offer Many Different
Opinions as to Acceptable Points
for EmbarI<ing TroIIeys to
Metropolis

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 1.-Discus-
sion about the place where through
Los Angeles Pacific cars shall stop,
still continues. Nearly everybody has
a different opinion where stops shall be
made.
Those who use the car only for local
travel think il a hardship either to
walk few blocks to a station or to
wait for a local car, while those who
transact business in Los Angeles insist
as few stops as possible be made in or
der to make quick time to the county
seat.
'I think we shall have to ask them to
stop at all the stations" said A. S.
Reel. chairman of the railroad COM
mittee But if we do 1 am informed
1000 Los Angeles business men, who
live here, will protest vigorously, be7
cause it increases the time to make
the trip to Los Angeles.
"Mr. Sherman says the company is
willing to stop cars wherever the peo-
pie desire" added Mr.. Reel, "but the
question is where will they agree to
have cars stopped?"

Fair covering the meter has been de-
manded, but he has refused to produce
it. and the refusal to serve gas is a
consequence.
