FORGING AHEAD THE
SUNDAY REST LEAGUE
DR.. G. L. TUFTS. WILL SPEAK
ON LIVE TOPICS
Asserts That One Day Out of Every
Seven Should Be Released from
All Except Unavoidable
Labor

1.-The bill to be introduced by the Sum
day Rest league in the next legislature
of California will be based upon the
personal rights of all classes. 1t will
not be a religious statute and 1t Will
not forbid Sunday labor on the part of
those who regularly observe another
day of the week as their rest day. 1t
will exempt from the operation of the
law whatever is regarded BY the con-
| sensus of public opinion as works of
necessity. Its object will be to pro-
tect in their natural rights the citizens
of the state to have one day in seven
as day of rest, as far as practicable.
from the Iabors of the week"
The foregoing were the expressions
of DIR. G. l.. Tufts of Berkeley. who is
campaigning California in behalf of a
Sunday rest law by invitation of local
committees. He will be here to dis
cuss this and kindred themes tonight
at the First Baptist church at 7:45.
DR.. Tufts is in charge of the Pacific
coast district of the international re-
form bureau, including British Column
bia and the three coast states, besides
Idaho and Nevada. He led the forces
that secured the local option law in
Oregon, under whose workings nearly
one-third of the state is almost dry
| 1t is acknowledged to be one of the
| best local option laws in the Union. He
| drafted the Sunday rest law of Idaho
and lobbied it through the last legis-
lature. 1t passed both houses by nearly
| three-fourths majority and Its consti-
tutionality has been sustained by the
supreme court of the state. Capable
critics speak of it as the best Sunday
law among the states. Business men
are especially delighted with it, and
| many saloon keepers are well salts
| fed to have weekly rest day without
fear of their competitors being open
Endorsed by Leading Men
DR.. Tufts comes highly commended
for his works and words. 1t is said by
those who know him: HE is an inter-
esting speaker. He strikes straight out
from the shoulder" 'He filled our pull
pits on Sunday greatly to the delight
and satisfaction of all who heard him. y
LAS an orator he is clear in thought
and arrangement, positive and forcible
| in conviction and expressive in de-
! livery"
The reform bureau is also wagine
war against gambling impurity and in
| temperance. In short, it is a nop-parti-
| san and non-sectarian agency of the
! good people of the states and nation to
! lead in whatever evil needs reforming
along moral lines. All will want to
! hear this advocate for civic righteous
ness on the Pacific coast. His subject
will be america for American Insti-
tutions."
At II a. m. today there will be a mass
meeting of the pastors and laymen at
Bible Institute hall, 262-264 South Main
street At 1890 o'clock the board of
| directors of the Sunday Rest league
| will meet at the Westminster hotel
where DR.. Tufts will be present. and
| business will be transacted.

CAN'T DIAGNOSE CASE, BUT
SAYS HORSE is mo GOOD"

Whether the horse was afflicted with
spavins, CHAMBERS or was simply road
foundered are questions which do not
i'm the least disturb the mind of Mrs
n. Rorke. She knows simply that the
animal is no good and is so willing to
prove her knowledge that she yester-
day caused the arrest of Frank VIII
liams, who. she says, sold the horse
to her for $50, representing the ANNA,
to be in good health and good
worker.
The transaction took place near ar
alley on Ninth street, March 81, and
Williams will tell his side of the story
in Justice Summerfeld's court today
in the meantime being he'd in $1,000 bail

SELL TESTIMONY
Trial of C. w. Beard, Witness in Sarah
johnson Contest, Now Facing
Court on Indictment Re-
Gently Returned

The trial of C. w. Beard, charged
with perjury in connection with the
contest of the will of Sarah Johnson in
1905, yesterday was begun before
jury in Judge Conrey's court, most OF
the day being taken up in selecting a
jury.
1t developed in the examination OF
talesmen that five former justices OF
the peace sat in the jury box, and each
of these men was excused by the de-
Tense.
Three witnesses were called to give
documentary testimony and the trial
was continued until this morning.
Mrs. johnson died May 49, 1905, leav-
ing an estate valued at about $l5,0OO
Two days before her death her daugh-
ter. Della Sherburn, from whom she
had become estranged, reached Los
Angeles, cared for her mother and
made all arrangements for the funeral
Later she discovered in an old trunk
a will made by her mother in which
she was left 81, the rest of the estate
going to two other daughters living dn
Illinois.
This will, according to testimony
brought out at the time of the contest
was destroyed by the young woman
who is said to have thrown it into a
fire, with the declaration that "ashes
tell no tales
Evidence apparently showing that
Beard had knowledge of the existence
of the will at the time of the contest
when he declared there had been no
will made, was placed before the
grand jury early this year, and an in
dictment was returned against him.

MURDER MYSTERY
BECOMES DEEPER
LUM SING TRIAL MAY BE
ENDED TODAY
SURPRISING EVIDENCE SUBMIT
TED BY DEFENSE
Conflicting Testimony on Both sizes
Will Prove Puzzle for Jurors.
Wong chong Supported by
Dying Statement

Evidence in the trial of Wong Chong,
charged with the murder of Lum Sing,
a Chinese tailor, on the night of Oc-
tober II last. was all in by O'Clock
yesterday and the first argument TO the
Jury was delivered by E. ). Fleming,
deputy district attorney, on behalf OF
the prosecution. 1t is expected the
case will go to the jury b. noon today
The defense began the introduction
of it's testimony shortly after court
convened Yesterday and many sur
prising statements in direct conflict
with the stories told by witnesses
called by the prosecution were made.
The dying statement of Lum Sing
himself was introduced, in which he
said he did not know who fired the
shots but that the men wore Chlnese
clothes and queues, which description
does not in the least fit the defendant
or his two companions said to have
been implicated with him, all of whom
dress in American fashion and have
short hair.
Further tending to prove an abb Tor
Wong Chong was the story told by
Lock Ark, who lives at 52O1a Los An
geles street and who says he is a
musician but who the prosecution en-
deavored to prove is a dealer In
gambling house in Ferguson alley
Witness Is Unperturbed
The witness denied this with bland
countenance and his serenity was not
in the least disturbed by the sharp
questions put to him by the prosecu-
ton in an apparent effort to belittle
his statements.
Lock Ark said he met Wong Chong
at the house of Kim You, who is
known in Chinatown as "China Mary
at $3.50 o'clock on the night of the
shooting and that they were together
some hours talking over a trip which
the defendant had made month be-
fore to China. The shooting took place
at 1880 o'clock and the witness was
positive that Wong Chong was with
him at that hour.
Supporting his story was the state
ment of Kim You herself, who corro-
borated in detail the things said by
Lock Ark.
The court room was filed through
out the day by many spectators, large
part of the gathering made UP of
Chinese.
In the two rooms at either end of
the long hallway on the third floor of
the court house sat many witnesses,
the Bing Ong tong members severely
separating themselves from those of
the Hop Sing tong.

gical laboratory for the future
study of the boil weevil under the
new conditions of life which he
will encounter in the Mississippi
Delta DR.. Howard and Prof.
Hunter, of the Bureau of Ento-
mology, and Representatives Rams
dell. of Louisiana, and Hum
phreys, of Mississippi, have had
this matter under discussion for
some time, and the statement has
appeared in several press dis
patches that there was contro-
versy between the two Congress
men rs to the proper location, one
favoring Vicksburg. and the eth
er Greenville. This was mis-
take. When asked about it to-
day. Mr.. Humphreys said:
"Thpre is no controversy be-
tween us aud there has been none
as to location of the laboratory We
both represent Delta constituents
and both want the laboratory so
located that the habits Of the
weevil under the conditions of life
which are different in the Delta
from any he has yet encouraged
may he best observed, and this,
of course, necessarily means that
it must be located in the Delta.
