REV. GAGE MUST REMAIN.

Some time ago The Sentinel mad e
the first local announcement of the
/ fact that Rev. Gage, the brilliant
DeS MoineS pastor well known here,
had been offered an important pas
torate in Illinois. In this connection
the following from the Register
Leader, of Des Moines, of Saturday,
is of interest:
The Rev. William Boyton Gage
must remain as pastor of the High
land Park Presbyterian church in
Des Moines.
This was the edict of the Des
Moines presbytery which met yester-
day in the Central Presbyterian
church and heard the appeals from
the Des Moines church asking that
their minister be not given his dis
missal from the Des Moines presby-
terry to accept "a pulpit in Aledo. I'll.
On the statement of the church com
mittee that the salary would be con
siderably increased, a new parsonage
built and every aid given the pastor
to build up the church, the presbytery
declined to grant the Rev. Mr.. Cages
wish to have his pastoral relations
severed that he might accept another
pulpit.
The action of the 'presDyIeIy is
without precedent in Iowa. The most
harmonious relations existed between
the church and the Rev. Mr.. Gage. He
was called to the Presbyterian church
in Aledo and had made every arrange
ment to move there last Tuesday
morning, when the congregation
voted not to accept his resignation
Under the rules of the Presbyterian
church the Rev. Mr.. Gage could not
leave without the consent of the
present pastorate until some date
when the church session will accept
his resignation.
On Dec. 2l the church Will meet
make plans for new church parson-
age, which was the property of the
church and too large for the needs
of the pastor and his wife, will be
disposed of and an entirely new resi-
dence built.

Bishop Knight for western Colo

after service of only eight or nine
months the new bishop died His
work now devolves upon Bishop
Spalding of Utah, but he cannot carry
it on.
The house of bishops has power to
elect bishops when the other house of

1t has often been stated that no

without saloons, on account of the
licenses derived therefrom. Yet
Birmingham. Alabama, went on a
prohibition basis with IA deficit. and
in spite of losing 1000 in saloon
licenses has during the year wiped
out the deficit and has money in the
treasury. negative example may
be seen nearer home. For something
like 90 years DeBeque has been col
lecting several hundred dollars per
year from saloons. A conservative
estimate of the amount thus collect
ed would be $4,000. Yet where is

PUTS AN END
TO CHANCE FOR NEW CHURCH

Special to The Herald
OCEAN PARK, June 7.-All hope of
having a new church built has been
abandoned by the Baptist society, on
account of the church treasurer, j. c.
Conklin, having embezzled the funds
and absconded, but the Ladies' Aid So
ciety is now working hard to raise
enough money to remodel the present
building, which is not adequate to the
needs of the congregation. The society
will enter on a systematic campaign
this week.
Rev. Perry, pastor of the church,
yesterday received word from the Home
Missionary board that no contributions
had been received from the Ocean Park
church for the years 1906, '07, '0S. The
sums collected had been placed in
Conklin's hands and aggregated more
than $100. The total sum misappro-
priated is known now to be in excess
of $4,000. Mrs. Conklin struggled to
make restitution, but the society is
now without hope of recovering any
thing. The Santa Monica police have
sent circulars broadcast. but no word
of Conklin's whereabouts has been re-
ceiVed.

FLORIDA MUST STAND
FURTHER EXPERIENTS
Monitor Fired on by Heaviest Naval
Gun Two Weeks Ago Will Be
Punctured Below the
Water Line

WASHINGTON. June 7.-Sacrificed
for the benefit of naval construction
the monitor Florida, shot two weeks
ago with the heaviest naval gun, will
on Saturday, June 13, be punctuied
beneath her water line armor by the
most Powerful American Whitehead
torpedoes. The first demonstration was
to test the respective strength OF
armor plate and explosive shell, also TO
show the effectiveness of new design
of fighting mast.
The torpedo is to be sent into the
Florida that it may definitely be known
whether a watertight bulkhead spec
ially constructed within her, designed
with all the most modern ideas of con-
struction, can be depended upon tc
save a ship from destruction against
this dangerous method of attack
Secretary Metcalf has invited Secre-
tary Taft to be his guest probably on
the Mayfiower to witness the demon
stration. The Florida is to be an
chored over a bar, near the jamestown
exposition grounds, i'll Hampton Roads.
Naval experts predict that she will not
be sunk by the torpedo, but will set
tle' about a foot.
The torpedo is to be guided to the
precise spot where the hole in the
Florida's hull is to be made by means
of a trolley. This trolley will consist
of a wire, one end of which will be
fastened to the Florida. six or eight
feet under water. The torpedo will be
provided with two or more "eyelets"
through which the wire will pass. The
other end of the wire will be made
fast to the torpedo boat Morris, or the
cruiser Montgomery, now in use as a
torpedo training ship, whichever is Sc
lected to do the firing.
When the torpedo hits, according to
official predictions, there will be a
splash of water up the side of the Flo
rida, an explosion and the gradual
settling down of the monitor. What
has actually happened will not be
known, even to the officers, until the
Florida is placed IN drydock, which
will be done as soon as possible alter
the torpedoing.
Should the unexpected happen and
the bull1head prove too fragile to with
stand the high explosion, thu Florida
will sink. 1t is with this contingency
in mind that a place for the trial has
been selected where the water is shall
low and where the monitor may be
raised with the least possible trouble
and cost.

OCEAN PARK, June IA Los An
geles Juice detective" of the Edison
Electric company is here looking up
thefts of electric current. He reports
four to date, but in two cases the per-
sons having possession of the places IN
which were found meters that had been
tampered with were innocent, he is
satisfied. The meters in both cases had
been wired round in such a way that
the current went to the lamps without
being measured.
1t is a criminal offense to do this,
but prosecutions are not likely to be
instituted, as settlements have been
made. The innocent firms referred to
have, one a cafeteria and the other a
waffle house. The meters, when last
read, showed no consumption of cur
rent. The persons then occupying the
places said they were not using cleo
trio lights. When the new occupants
took possession the meters were still
not working, but they frankly stated
they expected pretty large bills from
the company.
The inspector is following up all
bills that are small and uniform and
will be at work here for some time
longer. Those who know how to play
the game keep posted on the time the
meter reader is due, and a few days
before remove the wire that defects
the current from the meter.
After the reading they put the wire
back So. at least, 1t is asserted by
the Edison agents, who say that the
voltage stolen has made a marked

SAN BERNARDINO, June TN ad-
dition to the announcement recently
made by w. c. Vaughn of Los Angeles
that an attempt would be made to
test the ordinance passed by the su-
pervisors to close the Arrowhead grade
to automobiles, the statement now
comes from Senator H. M. Willis that
he, too, will take a hand in that mat
ter. He declares that the ordinance
is invalid and that probably the first
Sunday after it becomes effective sew
eral automobiles will be sent up the
mountain with the express view of
bringing the matter to trial.
Senator Willis thinks that the su-
pervisors should have held a confer
ence with the automobile men and ar
ranged certain hours, or certain days,
for the use of the road by the ma
chimes. He is sure, he says, that the
automobile men would have agreed to
a plan of that sort and would have
seen to it that the rule was not in any
way violated.
A conference was held here last
evening between Senator Willis, w. c..
Vaughn and Judge Frederickson of
Los Angeles on the subject. The new
ordinance becomes effective this week,
and it is expected that a party of
autoists will go up the mountain next
Sunday to set in motion the machinery
for making a test of the law.
