SPEAK ON LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Episcopal and Unitarian Unite
to Discuss Question

The uncommon spectacle of Episcopal
and Unitarian uniting in services at
Trinity church last evening formed the
theme of Charles A, Murdocks open
ing remarks in his address to the large
congregation on "The Control of the
Liquor Traffic" Murdoch expressed
qualification at seeing the churches
uniting on so momentous subject
Il believe that the city needs reve-
nue." said Murdock "and that is the
reason, or one of them. why the higher
liquor license is advisable.
Murdock was followed by Rev. Brad
ford Leavitt ..of the First Unitarian
church. who said in the course of his
address:
We remember din raised some time ago
against Bishop Potter by those who believe that
the only way to cure the evn is by prohibition,
and against Cardinal Gibbons for advocating
high license; and against Bishop Ireland for de-
fense of the army canteen: and against Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard. who said that the atti-
tude of total abstinence as taught inythe schools
WAS most injurious TO the teaching Of science
These questions and statements concern anv
who will look below the surface of the tenn
perance problem. but the crux of the whole
matter Is that must change men. and not
conditions and that each man must be stand
ard and Law unto himself.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March s.
Before a large audience Rev. Jenkin
Lloyd Jones. noted lecturer and di-
rector Of the Abraham Lincoln center
Of Chicago, this morning preached a
strong sermon in the university chapel
in which he roundly scored the selfish
ness that characterizes American life
today. The speaker chose 'Nobless
Obiige" for his theme. and though he
saw much cause for serious thought in
existing conditions he said the future
would undoubtedly witness a great
change for more pure and unselfish
life. just as the past had brought an
Improvement in our mode of life. He
spoke in part as follows:
Politics is yet purely SELFISH Offices are
peddied out rewards Of merit to diligent
workers; office holders, IN the spirit Of feudal-
ism, think the office carries with it certain
patronage which is their private perquisite. TO
he used IN advancing their own interests and
in perpetusting their own dominion. The canons
Of trade today are the sxioms Of selfshess

PLAN A MONUMENTuTO
EX-FIRE CHIEF SULLIVAN
Friends of Heroic Officer Who
Died in Earthquake Sug-
QeSt Memorial

A movement to erect monument in
memory of Dennis Sullivan, chief of
the fire department who was killed
during the earthquake has been set
on foot by many of the former chiefs
friends and admirers.
It is planned to raise a fund suff1-
cient to eject a monument in his honor
through a canvass of his friends and by
a series of athletic events which the
public will be asked to patronize. A
series of baseball games between the
police nine and the firemen's team will
be planned and probably boxing car
nival will be put on the program.
Many of the dead chiefs friends have
been working quietly on this project
for some time. 1t is their belief that
some remembrance of his great serv-
ices TO the community should and will
be recognized in the erection of a
monument.
