DENIES STORY OF
ALLEGED CENSURE
CHURCH FEDERATION PRESI-
DENT MAKES STATEMENT
NO ACTION TAKEN REGARDING
Y. M. C. A. PICTURE
Rev. E. p. RyIand Says Organization
Had No Idea of interfering.
Mr.. Let's Approves Her.
AIDS Editorial

Rev. e. P. Ryland, president of the
Los Angeles Church federation, en-
phatlcally denies the statement that
that organization had taken any action
or contemplated any step toward cen
surfing the directors of the Y. M. c. A.
for alleged Misrepresentation regard
ing the picture, "In the Shadow of the
Cross"
Mr.. Ryland stated last night that
there was some talk at the meeting of
the federation Tuesday about the pic
ture, but that members present posi-
lively refused to consider the matter.
The ground was taken that the direc-
tors and other officials of tho Y. M.
C. A. were capable of taking care of
the affairs of their institution and that
interference from another organiza-
ton was unwarranted
1--WE did not take the matter up Of
ficially and no such thought occurred
to us as censuring anybody. l do not
know anything about the picture and
have never heard that the officials of
the Y M. c. A. ever claimed there was
anything supernatural about it, said
Mr.. Ryland 1.-THE church federation
committee decided that there was no
occasion for interference. We declined
to take any action. 1 do not know
anything more about it. If any mem
Der of the federation made state
ment it was as an individual and had
no official sanction"
MIR. Let's Makes Statement
Arthur Let's, president of the Y. M.
C. A., said: There has been consid-
cradle Misrepresentation concerning
the painting, In the Shadow of the
Cross The officials of the associa-
ton have never claimed there was
anything supernatural about the pic
ture. The Los Angeles Herald's re-
cent editorial entitled Not Uncanny
was a concise and exact summary of
the case and it had the unqualified
approval of all the officials of the Y
M. C. A. That the painting is re
markable one no one can dispute. 1T
was exhibited as a marvellous picture;
a rare example of the great skill
shown by great artist. We claimed
talk has been INDUCED in, but we have
paid little attention to 1t. We have
not had anything to do with the vari--
Gus stories published by sensational
newspapers"
Other officials of the Y. M. G. A.
agreed with Mr.. Let's statements.
The editorial published in the Her
ara on May 10 tliuOh '.io s -
Uncanny," to which Mr.. Let's referred,
reads as follows
Nothing supernatural is claimed
OFFICIALLY for the painting, I'm the
Shadow of the Cross" Any claims
of this kind have been made by
enthusiastic commentators, not by
those responsible for the picture or
for its exhibition. We make this
statement in justice to all con-
cerned, as serious embarrassment
has been caused by overdressed,
exaggerated stories which have
been printed. 1t is most extra
ordinary and striking picture, but
the statement that anyone con-
cerned with it's exhibition thinks
1t Is supernatural is only an I'M
authorized press agent stunt.

SOUTH AMERICAN PRAISES
AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS
Surprised at Methods of Farming Seen
on Tour of the United
States

That the United States leads every
other nation in the quality and guam
tity of farming implements produced
and that the methods of farming em-
ployed in California are as modern and
up to date as those in use in any other
portion of the world is the opinion of
Mario Estrada, commissioned by the
Argentine government to investigate
methods of farming in the United
States and in Europe. He will make
speciality of the grain products of Cali
fornia with a view to the creation OF
new varieties.
81 find,' said Estrada, Sin every state
of the union some new and surprising
feature in your methods of farming.
The work and cooperation of your de-
partment of agriculture in the vast
territory which it must cover is mar
Yelous."
Estrada speaks of Argentine repub-
lie as the coming nation of South
America. That this nation exported in
1908 more wheat than any other is we'll
known, but the fact that alfalfa seed
sells in this county for Is cents per
pound and in Argentine for 10 cents
is not a matter of such universal
knowledge.
Estrada, who has registered at the
Hotel Angelus, is DESTROYS of COM
municating with any Los Angeles BUSH
ness men interested in this subject. He
expresses the deepest qualification at
the hospitality shown him by the vari-
GUS chambers Of commerce throughout
the country and will make Los An
geles his headquarters for some time.
Estrada, who has recently been tour
ing Old Mexico. says the Mexicans are
so years behind the times. What lit
tie advance and energy is shown in
our sister republic is largely due to
American methods and American ag-
gressiveness," is the way he puts the
Mexican situation. Estrada will travel
throughout the entire United States,
leaving late in the fall for Europe,
where he will complete his investiga-
tons
