of his brother is turned against him.
Many a man after leaving prison with
the strong purpose of leading better
life had been compelled to fall into
deeper degradation and greater crime
through the cold and callous reception
received ut the hands Of old friends and
acquaintance.
Once convict always a convict is
not true. There was the incentive of {,
better life through the Maud Ballington
Booth Hope Hall which is opened to
every convict released from prison
There are three of these Hope Halls.
one near Chicago. one near New York
and one near Columbus, Ohio From
these Halls the convic, being safe from
the sneer and the peering eye of the
critic was given the chance for new
life From these Halls there was Sc
cured employment for the men liberated
after having paid the penalty of their
crime. Mrs. Booth expressed the hope
that such a Hall Of Hone would soon be
erected IN the State Of Louisiana with
whose people she was most delighted.
In deuaing (he sensational publica-
ton of A6e newspapers. Mrs Booth
urged some brmat,on, as such pub
lication led >Re\ nthinking and the weak
to initiate such criminals.
In her reference to crime she scored
the saloon and charged that eighty per
cent of the crimes committed by men in
prison was traceablc to the saloon and
the liquor traffic. 1t was the greatest
power on earth for evil. and she was
gratihed at the progress being made in
the Southern States for the suppression
Of the traffic in intoxicants. In the
course of the lecture Mrs. Booth de-
tailed many stories which were heard
with profound interest. What she said
was deeply impressed ON the mind of
every one who gave her their closest at
Iention, Mrs. Booth is simple and unaf-
lected. but her power of speecl, while
gentle and modulated. is intense and at
times unconsciously dramatic. 1t is the
lrutl, she tells in her own inimitable
style which brings tears to the eye and
to the heart.

visited The Little Mother" is the "An-
gel of Peace and Love"-their angel

FRANK H. MOUSER IS
STAR 'GLAD-HANDER'
USES "KANSAS SYSTEM" ON
POLITICIANS
Candidate for Republican Nomination
for Secretary of State Plans to
Invade Territory North
of the Tehachapi

Frank Fl. Mouser OF Los Angeles,
who is out for the Republican nom-
ination for secretary of state to sue
ceed Charles F. Curry, has so glad
handed" the section south of the Te-
hachapi that ne will invade the north
after the municipal election. Mr..
Mouser has sent a letter to every prom
inent Republican in the southern coun-
ties, using what is known in the east
as the Kansas system" Instead OF
using Dear Sir" as an Introduction
Mr.. Mouser has gathered in the first
names, and starts his letter with my
Dear Bill" or Dear Jack" and so en-
down the line. That pleases the local
politician, who has not been having
an easy time of it and is open to soft
soap. Mr.. Mouser is getting the rep
utation of being the champion glad
handler" of Southern California among
the machine politicians.
His candidacy for secretary of state
has been helped by the fact that
Charlie" Curry has definitely moved
up after the governorship and has re-
leased his sidehold on the Office of
which he is at present the incumbent.
Mr.. Curry has been taking longing
looks up at the governorship all along,
but has never lost a saving grip on
the office of secretary of state. He is
not out without any strings for the
governorship alone, which naturally
brings the Republican machine con-
sideration of a candidate for secretary
of state toward Southern California
where Mr.. Mouser stands in receptive
attitude.

MAIL CLERK IDENTIFIES
TRAIN ROBBER POSITIVELY

SEATTLE, Nov. 10.-Mail Clerk
Benjamin L. Stumps positively identi-
fed Charles D. Howell today as the
man who boarded a Great Northern
mail car at Bonners Ferry, Idaho,
March 10, impersonated an inspector
and looted the registered mail.
Stumps quickly picked out Howell
from among four prisoners as the men
who locked Mail Clerk Nystuen in a
closet, tied Stumps in a chair with a
mail sack over his head and acted as
clerk himself until the train reached
Spokane where he jumped off, taking
with him the registered mail
Howell, who was formerly postmast-
er at HaVre, Montana, and recently
was proprietor of the Kneeland hotel,
at Olympia, Washington, is held in
jail here in default of $4,000 bail, to
answer the charge of holding up the
Great Northern express here last
month, obtaining $4,000 in cash. His
connection with the Idaho robbery was
established last week when Nystuen
identified him.

Learned, gray haired judges, who
through long hours of holding court
had been carefully weighing the pros
and cons, hesitated not a moment over
the merits of this case, but decided at
once in the affirmative and laughed
and applauded vigorously, rubbing ell
bows the while with small boys who
voted that the Indians, the football
team and the tennis and basketball
girls were 1.-THE Stuff"
Side by side with a bank president
and convulsed by the same jokes and
capers, sat a well known divine, while
in the chair beyond, a corpulent tour
list gasped to his neighbor between
chuckles of mirth, "Great, great sim

rival the glories of the panorama
which was the main attraction. Never
have the gowns worn been so smart, so

big auditorium was a sight we'll worth

1t was an appreciative audience, not
only because every ticket holder had
friends in the cast, but also because
Professor Napoleon" is a genuinely
big production and exceedingly well
done. 1t means as good a time for
those who go to watch and listen as
1t appears to for the participants, and
congratulations from the composite
audience go up over the footlights with
every one of the bouquets which the
patient orchestra leader handed over
so tirelessly.
And the best of it all is that the
proceeds of this monster benefit will
go to aid in curing. or If that is impos-
sible, will help alleviate the suffering

her custom, present another Hay for
her continued visit "Billie's First
Love" has been selected as this We
thicle. 1t affords a decided contrast to
the farcical THE Sultan's Favorite"
and provides Miss Bergere with many
chances for emotional work.
George Bloomquest, who heads the
Orpheum bill next week, is an old fa-
vorite here, having been member of
the Burbank stock company in former
days. lie was last here with Frank
lin Underwood at the Orpheum two
years ago in "Dobb's Dilemma"
Miss Augusta Behrends, soprano of
the Tuscany troubadours, at the Or
pheum, was once a prima donna in
Henry ". Savages English grand op-
era company. Miss Behrends knows
the complete soprano score, in English,
of twenty-five grand operas. feat of
memorizing seldom equaled. She is a
firm believer in the singing of grand
opera in the vernacular, and not in
foreign tongues, holding that the words
mean as much to the average audience
as does the mere music.
Minnie Seligman, well known here as
stock actress and leading woman,
will appear shortly at the Orpheum in
"The Drums of Doom" a bit of a trag-
edy said to be quite outside the usual
run of vaudeville playlets.
