branch photographic office should
be established at this end of the
Panama canal, which is unlikely.
But there are many big things to
be done on the Pacific coast in ad-
dition to the harbor development
at San Pedro, Wilmington and
Long Beach. A large part of these
will be down the coast and coming

hydrographic office furthest south

placing of a time ball signal, not

In order to avoid the risk of persons
dying in police stations OF apoplexy or
extreme drunkenness, Maj. Sylvester has
issued orders that whenever such case
falls into the hands of the police. or
whenever there is doubt whether person
is so afflicted, surgeon must be sent tor
without delay or the person sent to the
nearest hospital. He calls attention to
the fact that the police surgeons and the
surgeons to the poor are subject to call
at such times.
1T ought to go without saying" the
order continues. that a case of total col
lapse from drunkenness needs attention
more than a case of ordinary drunkenness
and that'i extreme cases of this characte,
they partake of dangerous illness and
should be cared for in conformity with
the above instructions.
Cells in which persons are confined
should be visited by some one of those in
charge of a station house at least every
half an hour, and at shorter intervals, as
the situation may demand, to ascertain
the condition of those who may be in

Successor to the Late DIR. J. G. But

Rev Lloyd Cassel Douglas, pastor OF
the First English Lutheran Church OF

choice of the Luther Place Memorial
Church council to succeed the late Rev.
DIR. John George Butler, at meeting held
| last night After a short discussion II
was announced that the council believes
Rev Mr.. Douglas is the minister who
should succeed DR.. Butler, and upon mo-
ton it was decided to present his name
| to the congregational meeting to be held
Monday evening. This body. it is ex-
pected, will ratify the choice of the coun-
Gil at once. as the selection bids promise
| to bring the seeding members of the
| church back into the fold.
At the close of the meeting last night a
member of the council gave out num-
Der of letters which have been received.
| and in which the record of Rev. MT
Douglas is complimented highly.
New Pastor Complimented.
! He also made a statement as follows:
"A careful canvass of the ministry OF
the Lutheran Church, during which the
names of many prominent ministers were
considered, has persuaded the council that
there is no one better fitted for this re-
sponsible post than the Rev. Mr.. Doug
las. They believe that he possesses every
quality that marks the successful min.
ister Many of the strongest men OF
the church have spoken of Mr.. Douglas
as one of its ablest men, and one who
has a great future before him, and out
side the pulpit he enjoys the same repu-
tation The most minute inquiry has
been made concerning him IN every walk
of life and nothing but the highest praise
has been ELECTED. This applies with equal
force to his wife, who is a college woman
and the daughter of DR.. Porch. one OF
She is woman who has endeared herself
to all with whom she has come In con-
tact In church and in social life.
Mr. Douglas has never sought the
Memorial pulpit. DR.. Garland. who
preached the funeral sermon of DR.. But
Ter, and who has wide acquaintance
with the ministry of the Lutheran
Church, after declining to have his name
considered by the council: stated he
thought the Rev: Mr.; Douglas was bet
ter fitted for the place than he was
himself. Upon his recommendation the
council invited Mr.. Douglas to preach
for the congregation on his way to Lam
caster from Atlantic City. little realizing
that he would be the choice OF the coun-
Gil body or of the congregation, more
because of his youth than OF. anything
else.
But after knowing him and hearing
him preach, and making inquiry about
him and his wife, minister's wife be-
ing only second to the pastor in the
eyes of the congregation. each member
of the council. weighing the data gained
in his own way, and without suggestion
from any other member reached the
same conclusion, and the Rev. Mr.. Doug
las is their hearty, unanimous choice.
