Endorsement

PASADENA, Jan. 29.-That the
California may eventually receive the
support, not only in good will, but
financially, of the California society of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton is one of the hopes entertained by
the friends of this particular George
colony and one which seems not with
out a chance of being realized.
In a number of the states the
Daughters have adopted as their own
some charity or institution to the as
sistance of which the society has de-
voted itself, always by the influence Of
its members and at times with gifts,
coming from members.
At the meeting Of the board of re-
gents, held here Thursday, the question
of using the influence of the body in
support of the Junior Republic was
most seriously discussed and, while the
board did not go directly on record as
favoring the project, it listened with
interest to William J. George, founder
of the colony, as he enlarged upon the
plans and methods of his work and at
an executive session decided to convey
much of the intelligence given by him
more broadly through the society.
With this end in view it was prom
public would be distributed among the
different branches Of the society by the
state secretary Of patriotic education.
The regents also went on record as
indorsing the purposes of the republic.

teen minutes later Baldesar was pro-
nounced dead. His neck was broken.
The last rites of the Catholic church
were administered by Father Collopti
of San Rafael.
Baldesar was a gambler, and the
crime for which he paid the penalty
was committed during fit Of jealousy.
He went to the house where his wife
and her mother, Mrs. A. c. Anna, were
visiting, and without warning shot and
killed the latter, two bullets lodging in
her body. Then, turning the revolver
on his wife, he shot her in the arm.

GROCER IS ARRESTED
FOR SELLING LIQUOR
Santa Monica License Question Fur
Their CompIicated-Mayor Signs
Ordinance Reducing Monthly
Fee of Wholesalers

SANTA MONICA, Jan. 29.-The
license question with regard to whole
sale dealers was further complicated
this morning by the arrest of H. G.
Burm1ster, one of the largest grocers
of Ocean Park, on a warrant charging
the sale of liquors in this city without
a license.
Burmister's store is situated in what
is known as the Pier avenue district
and the firm does business in both
cities, although situated in Ocean
Park.
w. G. Easton, a solicitor for the
firm, was arrested at the same time.
1t Is claimed by the police he was
soliciting orders for liquors. The po-
lice further claim that while Mr.. Bur-
mister has a license to sell liquor in
Ocean Park, and may deliver all he
wants in this city on a telephone or
der, he is breaking the law when he
solicits here.
The case will be heard by Police
Judge GARLIC on Monday afternoon.
Mayor T. H. Dudley signed the or
dinance reducing the license for whole
sale liquor dealers from $3.50 per month
to 5000. 1t will go into effect within
thirty days.
Some little feeling has been aroused
by the action of the council and the
matter may result in a special cam
paign for absolute prohibition in this
city.

MONEY is SUBSCRIBED
FOR JAPANESE HOME
Missionar, Worker Declares There
Are 10000 Alien Mer and Boys
Who Lack Healthy
Amusement

PASADENA, Jan. 29.-Plans for a
Christian home for the japanese in
Southern California, to be erected at n
cost of $4,000 in Los Angeles, were
disclosed at the meeting of the Chris
tan Women's Board of Missions held
here in celebration of an anniversary
of the Christian church. Rev. H. H.
Guy of Los Angeles, head of the mis-
sionary work among the japanese Of
that city, expounded the purposes of
the home and asked for pledges. A
sum of $101S was subscribed by the
delegates to the convention.
DR.. Guy declared there are 10000 Jap
anese boys and men in Southern Cali
fornia alone, and these men. aliens AMI
most Of them without real homes, are
obliged by the actions of the Amer
leans to abstain from almost all
healthy amusements and congregate
in the worst sections of the cities or
live in camps.
He believes they are capable of high
religious development, particularly at
this time, when the old religions of
Japan have given way before the wave
of modern thought, and the only real
religion of the country is patriotism.
In support of this belief he cited the
cases of fifteen Japanese now con-
nected with his mission in Los An
geles who are not only giving their
spare time in his aid, but who are prac-
tically paying the running expenses If
their work, about $100 a month. And
this although no one of the fifteen is
in the possession of an income of more
than $40 a month.
He announced he was in the possess
sion of pledges outside of those made
here which totaled $500.

ASK PEOPLE TO VOTE
ON PIER AND SEWER
Committee of Whole of Ocean Park
Trustees Decides to Submit
Vexing Problem to
Electors

OCEAN PARK, Jan. 29.-It is I'M
derstood on good authority that the
trustees meeting as a committee of the
whole at the city hall last evening de-
cided to put the question of bond is
sue for the erection Of a pier and sewer
extension before the people.
The movement was lost at the last
regular meeting of the trustees by
two trustees voting against calling an
ZenS called for last evening was called
off on the understanding that the board
might take this action on the matter.
The proposition for a practical out
fall sewer in this city is an old one
and has been a source of constant ex-
pense and trouble to the city and it's
officials.
The latest and what is claimed the
most feasible plan is to extend the
Kinney pier 1900 feet into the ocean
and use the heightened structure 70
carry the sewage to deep water. Cham
pionS of the new pier point to the fact
that the present pier is in an unstable
condition and liable to go out at every
storm. They say that the matter
should be settled at once, and that
while it is being done it should be
done right.
Other persons advocate sewer pipe
laid to deep water on the bed of the
ocean. They believe that if this is done
the sewer should be removed to
the southern city limits. where it is
thinly settled, and will not be a nuis-
ahce. 1t is hoped that the call for a
bond election will develop the senti-
ment of the majority of the citizens, so
that the matter can be settled before
the opening of another summer sea-
son
