PASTORS CONDEMN
JAIL CONDITIONS
CHURCH FEDERATION HEARS OF
CITY PRISON
Appeals Are Made to Members in Be-
half of Wretched Men Con-
fined In lnsanitary
Quarters

The condition of the Los Angeles city
jail and the need of water fountains
on the streets were the principal local
points brought up yesterday at the
monthly meeting of the Los Angeles
Ministerial union, held at the Central
Presbyterian church.
Prof. Henry Kingman of Claremont
delivered the address of the morning.
on "China of Just Now" He con-
trasted the difference between the con-
dition oe 1875 years ago and the present.
The speaker affirmed that more edu-
cational and religious movements have
been inaugurated in the different parts
of China within a decade than in many
years previous.
Rev. E. P. Ryland started the dis
cussion OF the wretched conditions of
the city Jail. This was augmented by
Mrs. Hester Griffith, president Of the
Los Angeles county w. c. T. u, who
spoke in pleading terms for the min
listers and churches to concentrate their
forces to relieve the terrible condition
of the city Jail.
This was a reminder to the church
federation council to act as promptly
as possible and more strenuouSly on
the proposition that had been previous
ly brought up before that body.
Mrs. Griffith also urged that action
placing water fountains on the streets
of Los Angeles.
The members of the w. c. 7. u. are
working hard on the water fountain
question and Mrs. Griffith expressed
the idea that harmony would prevail
in whatever legitimate manner the
fountains could be secured and placed
on the streets.
Members of the church federation
council adjourned to the Coffee club,
where an important session was held
At this meeting it was decided all
the city pastors should exchange pull
pits on the second Sunday of February,
the denominations exchanging to fur
Their the feeling of brotherhood.
Plans for a continuance of the evan
gelistic meeting were referred to the
executive committee to decide. 1t was
suggested several street meetings be
held each Sunday and that a down.
town noon prayer meeting be held
daily for business men. The executive
committee will meet Tuesday to de-
eide on the subject.

LEMON CLUB ENTERTAINS
WITH PERFORMANCE
Bachelors Hosts at Reception in Honor
of Young Woman-Second En-
tertanment to Be Given
Soon

The Fitzgerald Lemon club intro
duced their second big entertainment
to 125 guests Saturday night at SAT
Buena Vista street.
The entertainment was given in
honor of Miss Hazel Fitzgerald Of S51
Buena Vista street in celebration of
her birthday. The play was some
thing in the nature of a burlesque, as
many of the numerous presents passed
out to the guests were well advertised
articles of local business houses and
many of national reputation. The idea
was worked out on the basis OF first
giving the guests a lemon present and
then following it up with variety
of valuable and useful articles.
The invitations were in the form of
a telegram on the burlesque order and
the program, containing a list of
'lemon" presents, was printed on lemon
colored paper and in the shape of
lemon. Lemon colored badge ribbons,
bearing the clubs seal in red were
worn by guests.
The play was entitled "a Lemon
Squeeze" in three acts and an "en-
core" The guests first assembled at
the hostess residence and were enter
tanned by a musical program, and at
8 p. IN. were shown into a hall across
the street, where the big show was
given. After the finish Of the third
act the encore" or refreshments We're
served in a unique way at the hostess
house, where everyone made merry and
good wishes were exchanged.
Lemon colored designs were used
wherever possible and the hall was
decorated in all sorts of advertising
matter to represent a huge billboard.
The Lemon club is composed of
young bachelors and the members were
assigned to many very amusing parts.
The play was a pronounced success,
and another entertainment will be
given April 1.

three days a week, apparently in pur-
suance of the policy of retrenchment
which Mr.. Mohler is quoted as saying
would be followed as long as the pres

tinued.
The local shop foreman says that the
last reduction will reduce the force be-
low that required for efficiency.

NEW YORK JEWELLERS START
WAR ON FRAUDULENT SELLERS
~ Associated Press.

Ry Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-Manufactur-
ing jewelers. in New York and other
places have started a campaign against
the sellers of fraudulent jewelry. The
stamping act. passed by congress at
the request of the jewellers, provides
for a penalty in case of jewelry
stamped as of a higher grade than 1t
really is. This has been effective, but
as the law does not require stamping,
there are dealers who sell unstamped
iewelry or jewelry from which the
mark has been removed.
Manufacturing jewellers now warn all
purchasers that they should look for
the stamp on all the jewelry they buy
and should also look for the mark of
the maker.

FORAKER ANSWERS CHARGES
AssaiIs Taft and Roosevelt in Lengthy
,-1='~r~-" Reply.

Cincinnati, Sept. Ex-senator For
aker has issued a statement replying
to the recent charges made by Will
lam r. Hearst and President Roose
welt. In addition he bitterly assails
Hearst, Taft and the president, charg
ing Taft with consorting with Stan
dard Oil magnates himself and declar-
ing that President Roosevelt's actions
indicate a guilty conscience
In the opening paragraph Mr. For
aker declares that the president
showed bias in accepting as true all
the charges. He denies that he acted
improperly in accepting employment
from the Standard Oil company, says
that there was no secret about it and
produces letters to prove that after
the government began it's attack upon
the Standard Oil he declined to accept
retainer from them. He charged
that Mr.. Hearst had other letters in
addition to those which he gave out
and that these other letters, if made
public at the same time, would have
showed how harmless was his connec
ton with the Standard people.

JUDGE TAFT VISITS
The BADGER STATE
Makes Addresses at Several
Points in Wisconsin.

Milwaukee, Sept. Wisconsin
had a political climax in the complete
and emphatic manner in which United
States Senator La Toilette first de-
clared Judge Taft to be radical in
political ideas and then gave him his
own unqualified endorsement.
The tariff speech of the candidate
at Milwaukee was delivered under pc
culiarly opportune campaign condi-
tons. Mr.. Taft stated that he be-
ieved he would be elected president.
He reviewed the promises of his party
for the tariff revision and then showed
that in doing this work the party
would adhere to its promises. There
were some tariff schedules that were
too high, he said: these would be low
cred. Some were too low, these would
be raised, But the revision, con-
trary to the Democratic doctrine of
tariff for revenue only, would be along
protection lines only.
Judge Taft spoke at Beloit, James
vile, Evansville, Madison, Waukesha
at the Allis-Chalmers machine works
at Racine and at Milwaukee. There
was enthusiasm, local preparation, cor
dia]ity and manifestations of friend
Illness, with no evidences of opposition
throughout.

CAUSES LOSS OF S250,0o0
Fire at Fond du Lac, Wis, Destroys
Number of Churches.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Sept 26.-The
destruction by fire of three of the
principal churches, an automobile gar
age and seven automobiles, the resi-
dence of former Mayor Mayham and
a large number of roof fires entailed
loss estimated at $250,00O, partially
covered by insurance.
The fire is said to have started from
an explosion of gasoline in the Ores.
cent garage. That building, with it's
valuable contents, was soon licked up
and with the aid of a high wind the
flames soon communicated to the
church properties in that vicinity.
Fire brands from the burning churches
were blown over an area of ten blocks
square, starting fires on the roofs of
many residences.
Assistance was called from Oshkosh
and Milwaukee when it was thought
the city was threatened with destruc
ton

REPLIES TO ROOSEVELT.
Haskell Answers Charges Made by
the President.


the President.
Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 24.-GoYernor
G. N. Haskell issued a statement to
the Associated Press in reply to Pres
ident Rooseve1t's letter to William j.
Bryan, dealing with four specific
charges against Mr.. Haskell, namely,
that he is subservient to the Standard
Oil, that he vetoed child labor bill,
that he dealt extensively in Creek In
dian lands and that he had allowed
politics to dominate him in the re-
moval of members of the faculty of
the state university i nd the appoint
ment of others to sue eed them
The Prairie Gas and Oil company
charges, made against him by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, are declared by Gov
ernor Haskell to be a joke on Roose-
velt's stupidity.
He declares that the president
knows that his charges are false and
passes direct lie to Roosevelt.
Haskell goes into oil case in detail
and declares that every move he made
was justified. He gives his reasons
for vetoefng the child labor bill by
saying that it went too far. He con-
meets Hearst and the president in a
plot to ruin him and declares that
though they are beaten they stoop TO
ward politics rather than admit de-
feat like men.

Typhoon in Philippines Did Great
Damage to Property.

Manila, Sept 25.-More extensive
reports regarding the typhoon that
swept through the central section of
the Philippine group have been re-
ceived, indicating that while there was
great damage to property the loss of
life would be slight. The gale de-
stroyed the town of Enbagan, on the
island of Samar, leaving many home

island of the same name, was badly
damaged. Tacloban, in Eastern Leyte,

crews of the others rescued without
loss of life.
