DR.. WHEELER WARNS !.
AGAINST OPEN DOOR
CITES DANGER IN JAPANESE
IMMIGRATION
Head of University of California De-
livers Impressive Address on
"The Pacific" at Ann
Arbor, Mich.
[ny Associated Press! !

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 9.-Undre
the auspices of the Students Lecture
association, President benjamin Ide
Wheeler of the University of Califor-
MIA, delivered an address tonight in
University hall on 1.-THE Pacific Ocean
and It's International Significance"
He said: 1.-THE year 1898 is likely to
be a date which future history will
conjure with. 1t was the year in
which Russia acquired from China her
right to occupy Port Arthur, and in
which the United States annexed the
Hawaiian islands and took possession
of Guam and the Philippines.
"The unfolding of the significance of
19S attaches itself to the main events
of the decade. The Boer war, the
agreement of the powers to the open
door policy in China, the Boxer up
rising and the Russo-Japanese war.
"The Japanese will not submit to an
exclusion law such as affects the
Chinese, and herein lies peculiar out
look for trouble, for the people of the
Occidental rim class both together. AS
sentiment is at present, Californians
would much prefer an access of Chinese
than of Japanese. They are as laborers
more useful, more stable, more stead
fast to agreements.
1.-THE Japanese are absorbing the
carrying trade of the Pacific at a time
when our merchant flag under the in
f1uence of hostile laws is retreating
from the seas They are worthy of all
respect and admiration as a people and
as nation, and we must abide in
friendship with them and learn from
them and teach them and buy of them
and sell to them, but it Is best that
the two people should not hasten too
much the process of coming to dwell to-
gether on the same soil and in the
same commonwealth"

"SEARCHLIGHT" ATTRACTS
ATTENTION OF PLAYGOERS

Richard Barry, the war correspondent
and magazine writer whose new play
"The Searchlight," will have it's first
production ut the Auditorium next
Monday night, has moved in from Mon
rovia to be in attendance upon the re-
hearsals of his work. Mr.. Barry has
taken a familiar California newspaper
man for the central figure of his play
and proposes to show just what star
reporter can do when he starts out to
unravel a mystery. THE Searchlight,'
in this particular instance, is news
paper, and the story has to do with
politics and politicians. The demand
for seats for 1.-THE Searchlight' is said
to be unexpectedly large. 1t is dis
tinctively "home product" play, and
coming as it does during Home Product
week will doubtless attract more than
ordinary interest not only from regu-
lar theater patrons but from every
member of the big Buy and Boost club
of this city.

BILL AT oRPHEUM is ONE OF
THE BEST YET SEEN IN CITY

The Orpheum offers one of the best
bills this week ever shown in local
vaudeville. With one exception, every
number is good, and an appreciative
audience attended the opening perform
ance yesterday afternoon.
The feature of the bill is Genarro
and his Venetian gondolier band. The
famous director is described on the bill
as eccentric" This is speaking with
considerable mental reserve. The
busiest man who ever happened is said
to have been the one-armed paper
hanger with the hives. This man is
calm and reposeful compared with
Genarro, when his picturesque band
begins to get warmed up. While
musical criticism may be out of place
here, we venture to suggest that Ge-
narro might add a little dignity to his
performance by a couple of back f1ips
and something in the way of few
handsprings. There is no doubt about
Genarro's efficiency as director al
though 1t is regrettable that she should
be compelled to work so hard The
band is an ensemble of high class
talent, and not since Damrosch was
here has a Los Angeles audience been
favored with better program of really
good band music The overture of
William Tell and La Sorella were espe-
cially well rendered.
Miss Schuyler Popular
Miss Elsie Schuyler, the. clever
commedienne, was well received and
pleased the audience with "Pll Marry
Him and Make q Home for Mother /"
and other clever character songs. Miss
Schuyler shows marked individuality in
her work, and gives promise of becom-
ing an exceedingly good impersonator.
Jupiter brothers, the untamed Forty
second street cowboys, were a frost
AS mystery men the pair is blank.
They do an old wornout cabinet trick
which the audience refused to take
seriously, and there was general relief
when Miss Schuyler appeared in the
next act
Oracle Emmett and her company in
their lauhable farce, Mrs. Murphy s
Second Husband" delighted the aud
fence. The playlet is filled with live
humor and good situations and Miss
one of the best comedy bits seen re-
Gently in local vaudeville.
Bill Uniformly Good
All the other numbers were good
William Tomkins in his Topical
Talks" sprang a sparkling and up-to-
date line of new jokes and was recalled
until he had to give his entire roper
toire. Belle Hathaway's monkeys came
i'm for more applause than any other
feature on the bill. Miss Hathaway
has worked wonders with the small
sinians, and it Is said that some of the
stunts performed were done yesterday
for the first time.
Altogether the bill is a live one
throughout, from the monkeys at the

CROWDS AGAIN FLOCK
TO TORREY MEETINGS
Evangellsts and Their Assistants Look
Forward to Campaign That viii
Establish a Record in
Los Angeles

The second day of the Torrey cam
paign yesterday proved one of great
success, the large tabernacle being
filled to it's full capacity at both serv-
ices. During the day several CONVEX
sions were reported, and the evangelists
and workers are looking forward to a
campaign that will make a record for
Los Angeles.
In Sundays rush many articles were
lost by their owners, including wearing
apparel.
AT the opening of the meeting yes
terday afternoon William Young, lead
er of the chorus choir, read letter
which DR.. Torrey had received from a
man who had attended the meeting
Sunday afternoon, which, he stated,
was written at ! o'clock Monday morn
ing after a night of agony regarding
his soul. The man stated that he had
been criminal with a prison record
and he asked the prayers Of the con-
gregation that he might henceforth lead
a Christian life and bring his loved
ones from the east.
Dr. Warren f. Day led in the opening
prayer and the opening hymns were
sung under the leadership of Mr.. Young.
DIR. Torrey was suffering from hoarse-
ness, occasioned by a severe cold, and
it was with much difficulty that he be-
gan his sermon. But as he continued
his voice became quite clear. He dwelt
upon the effect of prayer, reading sew
eral passages of scripture bearing on
his topic.
There is much difference between the
apostolic and the modern method of
prayer in that they were constant in
prayer in the olden times as compared
with people today" said DR.. Torrey
MANY today do not believe in the
theory of prayer. The machinery is all
right but it lacks power There are
too many wheels devoid of their spirit
ual usefulness.
Power of Prayer
"All that God is, is at the disposal of
prayer What can it do? 1t can pro-
mote our personal holiness. You can
not be holy in hurry. 1t requires
time and continued secret prayer, and
too little of them are used today
Earnest prayer will bring power in
your work.
TT is a great problem to train the
children Alright. The parents find that
in the control of the children of their
family, each must be trained different
ly A solution of this problem is pray
err Teachers should pray for the con-
version of the members of their
classes.
ministers and Christian workers
should devote more time to secret
prayer and then work with a will for
the good of Others"

NEEDS MONEY
Immigration Bureau Has a Deficit
Because OF Investigations.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Congress
will face deficit in the immigration
fund by reason Of the extraordinary
expenditures by the immigration COM
mission, which has been carrying on
its work under an indefinite appro-
priation. The money to defray the
expenses OF the commission, which
has been conducting Investigations in
to all phases of the immigration ques-
tions has been drawn greatly from
immigration fund.
When authority for this procedure
was given by congress to the COM
mission it was not anticipated that
the expenses would be heavy enough
to embarrass the bureau of immigra-
ton of the department of commerce
and labor. Last year the commission
expended about $4,000 which includ-
ed the expenses of the members who
travelled abroad. The drafts upon
the immigration fund this year thus
far have been on the basis of an an
nual expenditure of about 100000.
AS result, the fund already has been
overdrawn and the shortage at the
end OF the year will amount, it is said,
to be about 100000.
immigration commissioners at the
principal ports Of the United States
are being hampered seriously in the
conduct Of the regular business OF
their stations, 1t is asserted owing to
the money shortage. 1t is likely that
a congressional inquiry into the work
of the commission will be ordered
when the condition of the immigra-
ton fund becomes known. The grand
total of the fund is being diminished
by the operation Of the new immigra.
tion laws owing to a decrease in the
actual number of aliens coming to the
United States each year.

- u
Washington, Nov. 80 That the ptso-
pie of the west will make greater use
of the national forests because Of the
reorganizations of the service into six
districts, rendering It possible to
handle the forests moro expeditiously,
is the view expressed by Clifford Pin

involve complete change In the ma
chinery OF the forestry service, the
force at Washington being reduced to
only those having administrative work
while the greater part of the force will

1.-THE forest service is putting a
large part of its work into the field
where 1t belongs" Mr.. Pinchot stat
ed "The organization on December
/ of national forests into six districts
each in charge of local force under
q district forester, is something we
have been working towards for q long
time.
1.-The district organization plan" he
continued, will mean q much freer
use of the national forests by the peo-
pie, because there will not be the de-
lay inevitable so long as the business
Is handled from Washington. It is
also going to mean that there will al
ways be officers with the power to
make decisions, near the ground, who
can look into the facts for themselves
whenever necessary, without having
to decide them at long range. I be.
lieve every man who uses the national
forests will realize these things in
