MEXICANS OUT OF JAIL;
WILL STILL ISSUE PAPER
"La Revolution" to Continue PubIica-
ton Despite Alleged Attempts of
Detectives to Suppress 1t.
Liberalists Cheerful

La Revolucion," the organ of the
Mexican Liberal party, will not cease
publication, even temporarily.
Modesto Diaz, editor, and Fedrico H
Arizmentez, publisher of the paper,
were yesterday released from the city
jail on $500 bail and will appear Janu-
airy 20 for their preliminary examina-
tion before Police Justice Rose.
One man still remains in Jail This
man is Fidel Ulivar, a youth, said TO
have been employed as a typewriter.
He takes his position calmly. almost
cheerfully
The charge against the three men is
that of libel. In the columns of the
paper for some months there have, t
is said, appeared statements which
have caused two members of the de-
tective force of the city great uneasi-
ness and mental worry-so much in
fact that a complaint was sworn out
and the whole force then at work in
the offices and composing room We're
placed under arrest and taken to jail.
The MeXicans laugh at the charges
of Detectives Talamantes and Rico and
say the principal object of the arrests
was to bring about cessation of the
publication of their organ, although
they admit that perhaps the feelings Of
the two men were wounded.

WESTERN UNION
ASKS FOR DELAY
CANNOT REMOVE WIRES FOR
NINETY DAYS
Thinks Ordinance Clearing New High
Street Alongside Federal Build
ing Too Quick in Re-
quirements

City officials fear there will be some
delay in taking down the poles and wires
alongside the federal building now in
course of erection at the junction of New
High, Main. Spring and Temple streets.
The Western Union Telegraph com
pany, through Superintendent Lamb, yes
terday filed a request for further time
to act and also for permits to erect other
poles north of the special conduit district
alongside the postoffice.
Superb tendent Lamb says in his letter
to the city council:
Ordinance No. 1850, passed by the
city council on December 81, 1907 re-
quires the removal of poles and wires
from a portion of New Hight street,
between the north line of Temple
street and a point $50 feet north of
said line, and requires compliance
within thirty days after adoption.
l respectfully represent to your
honorable body that it will be impos-
sible for this company to comply with
the provisions of the ordinance
referred to for the reason that not
sufficient time has been given to get
and procure the necessary materials
for carrying the wires underground.
For the company therefore respect
fully request that the time for plac-
ing the wires of this company under
ground in the section referred to be
extended for ninety days.

Fred f. Wheeler who is being promi-
nently mentioned as the presidential
nominee of the Prohibition party, adj
dressed the Unity club of the Los An
geles Fellowship last night. He said:
THE liquor traffic is entitled to an
absolutely square deal at the hands of
the American people. 1t must be weighed
in the same scale and judged by the same
tests by which we judge every other
business. 1t can ask for no more, and
we insist it must stand or fall by this
examination. This test is the simple
question of determining what is its effect
upon the peace, happiness and prosperity
of the American people.
Applying this test we find that no
man is made better citizen, a better
father or a better husband because of the
liquor traffic. We find on the contrary,
that it debauches and destroys our citi-
zenship, fills our jails and penitentiaries.

RAILROAD NEWS

Suit was yesterday filed in the super
Tor court against the Tonopah & Tide
water Railroad company by Richard
r. Coleman, a contractor of Los An
geles, who asks for $26,907, which
amount he says is due him for grading
and other work in the construction of
the roadbed in California and Nevada.
The complaint contains five causes,
covering work done between Ludlow,
Cal, and Gold Center. New, in San Ber-
nardino and Inyo counties, and a
branch line to Beatty, New.
f. N. Brown, formerly chief dis
patcher for the Southern Pacific in this
city, going from here to Tucson as
trainmaster. thence to Sacramento as
assistant superintendent, has severed
his connection with the railroad.
The Southern Pacific company has
issued instructions to all conductors
to forward to Los Angeles all tele-
graphones, the instruments used in
handling train orders between tele-
graph offices. The instructions said
the instruments would be repaired and
returned. This move on the part of
the railroad may contemplate the use
of these outfits in place of additional
telegraph operators after March 4,

DANCE HALL MEN
ASK LOW LICENSE
ACADEMY OWNERS APPEAL TO
COUNCIL
VIII Argue That $50 Quarterly Is suf-
ficient Tax Applied to Acad-
emies, Clubs, Halls
and Lodges

Dance hall proprietors will make an
other effort next week to get relief from
what they term the high license exacted
by the city for dancing academies and
similar institutions.
The present movement is led by the
Grand Avenue Auditorium company, G..
IL. Adams and b. G. Chapman, who head
an element of the profession, willing to
pay $50 a quarter.
These men in their statement before
the city council on Monday will say that
as it now appears on the records of the
city of Los Angeles business conducted
as a dancing academy in this city is Ii
censed to the extent of $40 a day, $3.50 a
quarter and 5000 year.
They feel that this license is exorbi-
tant to carry on this class of business
and ask the council to take this matter
In hand and in some way adjust it.
We do not feel as though we ought
to be allowed to run a dancing academy
without paying any license, but at the
same time we feel that the present license
Is beyond all reason" says the committee.
I'VE feel that license of about $50 a
quarter would be the amount a business
of this character should be forced to
pay.
We also feel that there should be no
exceptions regarding the license for
dancing academies. regardless of the fact
that some of the people in this business
claim that their audiences are solicited
strictly on an invitation basis, notwith-
standing that there is a fee charged in
addition to the invitation. All of the
dancing academies in the city are run
along these lines.
Should the council decide to lower this
license we would be ready and willing to
pay whatever amount that should be stip-
ulated, but would ask that the council
enforce the collection of said amount
from all parties carrying on dancing
academies, dance halls, dance clubs and
lodges"

ny JUDGE $. J. HANNA

UT is sometimes charged that Chris
tian Science rejects the Bible doc
n trine of sin, sickness and death
This charge will bear serious and can
did consideration. If this charge were
so formulated that it would read:
"Christian Science rejects the concep-
tion or Interpretation of the Bible held
by many on the subject of sin, sick
ness and DEATH it would hit the mark,
and we should assent to it, The differ
ence between the two formulas is as
wide as can well be imagined 1t
raises the question as to the correct
ness of Biblical Interpretation.
The gravamen of the charge that the
Christian Science teaching as to sin,
sickness and death is anti-biblical, Is
that these three things, from the stand
point of the DIRECTORS, are real and po-
tent, while Christian Science maintains
that they are unreal and impotent.
Here is the apparent difference, the
solution of which rests upon the sense
in which the words real and unreal,
potent and impotent are used
AS a matter of ordinary reasoning it
may be said that the Christian Science
text book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" divides sharply
between the real and the unreal The
more one studies and the better one
understands the distinction made by its
author Mrs. Mary Baker @. Eddy, the
clearer becomes the distinction. In
deed. one cannot intelligently read the
text book until one has grasped a
measurably clear idea of what the au-
thor means by the words real or unreal
as applied to sin, sickness and DEATH
What is reality? Is it that of which
the physical senses alone take cogniz
ance? Is it that which finite reasoning
only can determine? Is it that which
the limited mortal mind of itself can
comprehend? Must we judge of the
unseen by the seen? Can we analyze
the spiritual from the standpoint of
the physical or material? If so, what
of divine revelation? what of the in
SEPARATION. spiritually considered. of the
Scriptures? and what of the superna-
tural or metaphysical?
Sin on Unreal Side
Christian Science answers the above
Inquiries from the standpoint of the
metaphysical-that which is above and
beyond the physical. 1t declares that
only the spiritual is real. Why? Be
cause only the spiritual is permanent
and Interchangeable. 1t uses the word
real in the same sense that the apostle
Paul used the word eternal. and the
word unreal in the same sense as he
used the word temporal. Paul divided
sharply between the eternal (real) and
the temporal (unreal). Not more SO

Eminent Authority in Writing on Subject An
swers Pertinent Inquiries from the Standpoint
of the Metaphys ical-Does Not Treat Sick
ness and Death Lightly, but as
Things to Be Overcome

does the Christian Science textbook.
Not more so could anyone-if Pauls
meaning is understood.
Let us, then, place sin over on the side
of the temporal according to the Pauline
definition, which, according to the Chris
tian Science definition, is simply placing
IL Tn the side of the unreal What is its
place? If 1t is real, in this sense, it is
eternal, and if eternal it can never be
overcome or destroyed In this view
God eternal Kingdom would be a King
dom wherein sin would have eternal place
and power. If sin had such place and
power all its direful consequences, its
sorrows, its blighting and appalling eff
fects, would likewise have place and
power. Gods universe would thus be
place in which there would be endless
sin with an endless train of sins results.
Where, then, would be mankind's re-
demption from sin and its effects? Where
the hope of salvation? Where the Scrip
tural promises of the saving of all?
Christian Scientists plainly read in
Scripture the humiliation of all sin, and
with its annihilation, the humiliation, of
course, of all its consequences. In Gene
sis, wherein God pronounced all He made
TO be good, nay, very good, Christian
Scientists read of the unreality of sin.
If sin, or evil, then, is a part of the
or it got into the universe through some
creative power outside of or apart from
God. Can we conceive this to be true?
Christian Science maintains that it is not
conceivable; wherefore it concludes. that
God did not create sin, that 1t was not,
could not have been, created by any
other power than God, for Genesis plain
ly declares Him to have been the only
Creator, and the only creative power.
Whence then, the real origin of sin? Is
1t, can 1t be- other than a human belief,
and not a divine fact?
Christian Scientists read in Isaiah the
humiliation of the Satan or Lucifer of
the Bible:
How art thou fallen from heaven, o
Lucifer, son of the morning, How art
thou cut down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations For thou hast said
in thine heart, 1 will ascend into heaven,
! will exalt my throne above the stars
of God: I will sit also upon the mount
of the congregation, in the sides of the
north I will ascend above the heights of
the clouds; I will be like the Most High |
Yet thou shalt be brought down TO hell, |
to the sides of the pit. But thou
art cast out of thy grave like an abom- |
Unable branch, and as the raiment of
those that are slain. thrust through with
a sword, that go down to the stones of
the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet
Nothing Left of Sin
Christian Science teaches that such
statements refer to the destruction of sin
