ical lines DR.. Worcester is a we'll known
author, having written 1.-The Religious
Opinions of John Locke" and "The

In speaking of the origin of his work,
which is now finding its way into all
the Protestant denominations, Dr. Wor-
Cester, in a recent interview, said:
"The confessions that come out in the
pastors study are vital and often
tragic. 1t was because of the necessity
of dealing with these parishioners in
telligently, in the first place, and,
secondly, because have long been a
student of psychology and a most in
terested follower of the Nancy school,
in which the names Of Bernheim and
Lieuhault stand forth so brilliantly,
that the whole theory of suggestion
has so long interested me.
Il had to deal with hundreds Of in
dividual cases and l realized how much
more effective the work would be if my
patients could be brought together and
the moral treatment Joined with the
merical."
This will be the first visit of DR.. Wor-
cester to Los Angeles since the founda-
tion of the Emmanuel movement. He
has declined to give any address on his
work other than at ST. Johns Sunday
as he is visiting the southern
part of the state for a rest.

SETS NEW HIGH MARK AT
CHICO; 5000 ACRES FLOODED

CHICO, Feb. 3.-The Sacramento
river, seven miles west of Chico, made a
new high water mark today and broke
through the Phelan levee in three
places, spreading over 5000 or 5000
acres.
One break is above Chico landing, an
other at Angel slough and the third
lower down the river.
The breaks in the barrier caused only
nominal damage, as the levee protect
ed the Phelan lands, most of which are
under lease to a cattle firm, Bohlander
& Lucas.
Warning of danger gave the cattle
men time to rescue 100 head of cat
tie, but 300 are still on the island and
in danger
The most serious condition is at Te-
hama, where the Southern Pacific main
line to Oregon crosses the river. A
majority of Tehama residents were
driven from their homes, in which
there are from three to eight feet of
water.

MISSOURI TO INSIST THAT
OIL COMPANY KEEPS FAITH
If the Decree of Custer Is Modified,
Fines Must Increase, Is
Contention

JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 3.-Attor-
ney General Major today filed in the
supreme court of the state a sugges-
ton that if the court decides to have
hearing on the motion filed yester-
day by the Standard Oil company of
Indiana the state be allowed to be rep
resented either in oral arguments or
by filing a brief.
The decree does not reveal the exact
stand to be taken by the state, but
it is thought that the attorney general
will endeavor to have enforced the
points agreed upon in last nights con-
ference on the case at the executive
mansion. These points in brief are:
Ffrst-That there must be an in
crease in the fines levied against the
company and its subsidiary companies
if the court is disposed to modify the
decree Of custer.
Second-There must be some pro-
vision for effective supervision Of the
oil business by the state, whether
along the lines suggested by the COM
panies or otherwise
The attitude of the Waters-Pierce
company has not been revealed here
The company has until February 5 to
file a plea.

LARGE BROKERAGE HOUSE
TO RETIRE FROM BUSINESS
Walker &, Company of New York and
Chicago Is SWindIed by
EmpIoye

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The prospective
retirement from business of another
large brokerage frm-Walker & Co. Of
New York and Chicago = was an
nounced today. Following closely upon
the winding up Of the firm of Sidney
c. Love & Co., sensational rumors
gained currency, but were denied to-
day.
H. H. Whitney of counsel for Walker
& Co. stated that E. G. Walker, who
constitutes the firm, had concluded to
wind up the business in order to enjoy
a trip to Europe. He had sold his mem
bership in the New York stock ex-
change for $4,000.
"Mr. Walker originally intended to
retire June 1, but the loss of a trusted
employe whose place it would be diff
cult to fill caused him to advance the
date Of retirement to March L." said
Mr.. Whitney.
upon his return from Europe Mr.
Walker will resume business. A short
age of $3500 in the accounts of a trust
ed employe has been discovered, and
it may run as high as $1,000, but that
has nothing to do with Mr.. Whitney's
decision to retire from business for
the time being"

WILL BRING SUIT TO HAVE
SCORE OF BRIDGES RAISED
Federal Prosecutor to File Action to
Save Structures Over KaW
River

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-United States
District Attorney Bone of Topeka,
Kas., who is here on his way west,
says he intends to bring suit in the
federal court at once to have seventeen
bridges across the Kaw river at Kan
sas City raised to prevent damage by
spring floods.
The suits will be against the county
of Wyandotte, Kas., which controls five
of the bridges, and against individuals
and corporations controlling twelve
more.
There are twenty-five bridges across
the stream, but interests controlling
five of these have complied with a
popular clamor to raise them.
The bridges with their large piers
are said to obstruct the flow of water,
which in the spring and summer time
backs up at Kansas City and does con-
siderable damage.

of the Municipal league. Nothing like
it has happened in the twenty-five
years that L have lived in the city,
and those of US who have lived here
in the last two decades can rejoice
most heartily.
Result Far Reaching
1.-THE result of this election will be
most far reaching, both as to the
amendments to be incorporated in the
charter and as to future sentiment. 1t
displays clearly the feeling of the cleo
tors of the city and in doing so has a
direct bearing on the recall election"
I'VE have accepted the measures
that will make for a good, clean gov
ernment; now we will get good,
clean man to enforce them," was the
summary of the situation offered by
another member Of the committee.
Throughout the city yesterday there
appeared to be a spirit Of optimism
prevailing regarding the future political
and municipal affairs. The effect Of
the amendment victory, it appeared,
was to sprea-d the idea that a better
day is dawning for the peopIe-that
the reign of the bosses is to end-that
the Southern Pacific machine will not
dominate city politics in the future
and that the people themselves are to
rule.
This should have a direct bearing on
the recall election declared a promi-
nent business man yesterday. 1.-THE
people have shown by their vote on
the amendments that they are ready
for a clean city government, and that
is exactly what the recall movement
is designed to accomplish. The ma
chine has been whipped to a finish in
the charter election and there is no
reason why it should not receive even
a more thorough drubbing when a
mayor is to be chosen"

LIKES kauai JAIL

LIHUE, August 21.-On Monday
morning a Korean drunk was on trial,
before the Lihue District Court, who
seems rather to enjoy the experiences
of prison life.
The same man was tried, the pre-
vious Tuesday, for the same offense,
and, it being his first appearance be-
fore this court, he was given the light
penalty of SO, fine and costs, which
he was obliged to serve out with three
days in Jail, his bank account being
low.
The taste of Jail life, however, was
evidently pleasing to him, and must
have whetted his appetite for more,
for last Saturday he was found drunk
again, lying in nearly the same place
where he was found the first time, near
the court house.
In order to crafty the defendants
desire for absolute rest and quiet, he
was given a month in Jail, this time,
where he will have a good opportunity
to reflect upon the error of his ways.
He took the sentence very calmly and
did not appear to be much worried, but
said meekly that he was willing to do
whatever the court thought best

-Four short periods were played OF
fast, snappy ball, for so early in the
season, ana the score ended to 1 in
favor of Captain Charles Rice's team.
The riding off of r. P. Spaulding was
the feature of the game. An exciting
incident took place when "Sunflower",
the pony of Mr.. Jules, and an old tim
er at the game, probably feeling in
high spirits at being able to follow
the ball once more, attempted to buck
her rider off. She failed at this at
tempt. however, and soon settled down
into her old time form again.
Games will be played every week
now, until the close of the season.
