ARRAfGNS SALOONS AS
BREEDERS OF CRIME
Judge Samuel Artman Denies
Right of Legislators to
LepaIiZe Gropoeries

OAKLAND. March 3o.-Judge Samuel
Artman of Indiana, the noted temper
ance lecturer. addressed large audi
ence at the First Methodist church to-
night on the legal aspect of the saloon.
The speaker attacked the legality of
the sale of intoxicants on the ground
that the common law says that law
ful institution must be in harmony
with the morals. good health and good
order of the communitys
Declaring that the saloon breeds
crime and disorder. he maintained
that it is not conducive to the good
of the public to keep it alive, and that
therefor the legislative bodies have no
right to legalize the sale of intoxi-
cants.
Prohibition laws can be enforced if
the public officials are faithful to
their oaths.' contended Judge Artman,
and it is my belief that the proper
way to attack the saloon is through
the law and the courts"
The lecturer was introduced by
Judge T. w. Harris of the superior
court of Alameda county.

servers were made against the Crowley

by Surveyor of Customs Woodward.
inspectors from the surveyors Office
arrested Captain John Krimphoff of
the gasoline launch Warrior. owned by
the Crowley company. The inspectors
found that there We're only five life
preservers on the launch and that it

vides that vessels engaged in carrying
passengers must have a life preserver
for each passenger. A penalty of $50
for each offense may be imposed. and
this means that the Crowley launch
and towboat company may be COM
PEELED to pay 1850. The case has been
placed in the hands of Collector OF
Customs F. S. Stratton. The laws re-
garding life preservers will be en-

MOTHER STILL SEARCHES

A new chapter has been added to
the tragic story of the disappearance
in Honolulu on August 4, 1899, of
George Algernon Shaw, the New York
newspaper artist who worked for
many years on San Francisco dailies

edge of his friends. For nine years
his parents in New York city have
been unceasing in their efforts to solve
the mystery of their sons disappear
ance, but now the death of the father
has left the mother TO conduct the
pitiful search alone.
Advices from Honolulu bring word
of a pathetic appeal to the chief of
police to revive his efforts in behalf
of her son. in letter written by Mrs.
Shaw March A Part of her letter fol-
lows:
often the thought comes to me that
he has been assassinated. I have
reached the summit OF my martyrdom.

Last August q scrap book that be-
longed to Shaw was secretly deposited
in a Honolulu bank, but it contained
no clew to his Whereabouts. From
the scrap book it was learned that he
had been traveller and roamer. At
one time he was secretary for Madame
Sarah Bernhardt. He held positions on
the New York World and other papers
and in Honolulu was engaged on
Austin's Hawaiian Weekly when he
disappeared.

DR. TALKS OF FOOD. Pres. of Board of Health.

What shall eat?" is the daily inquiry the physician is met with. I do not hesi- tate to say that in my judgment a large percentage of disease Is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully. cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, en- ables me to speak freely of its merits.
 Prom overwork I suffered several years with malnutrtion palpitation of tho heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer was led to experiment personally with the new food, which used in conjunction with good rich cows milk. In short time after I commenced it's use, the disa- greeable symptoms disappeared, my hearts action became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were prop erly carried out and I again slept a0 soundly and as well as in my youth.
 q look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect food and no one can gainsay but that it has a most prominent place in a rational. scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which it Is manufactured and may there by know the facts as to its true worth" Read "The Road to WellvilleA in pkss.
