CHIEF OF W. @. W. TO
COME TO ANGEL CITY
Head Consul Boak of Woodmen to
Pass Week in Southern Califor-
MIA on Annual Visit to
Camps

Head Consul l. l. BQak of the
Woodmen of the World will pass a
week in Southern California, begin
ming Monday night, April 5. The six
camps in the city and about twenty
camps in the county will join in a
big demonstration Monday night, April
5, at Blanchard hall, when the head
consul will address several thousand
Woodmen and their male friends. This
meeting is in charge of the boosting
committee of all the camps in the city,
with Neighbor T.. S. Hamilton of East
lake camp as chairman and Past Head
Consul John II. Foley secretary, and
doubtless the largest crowd which will
greet the head consul on his southern
trip will be present that night. The
head consul has not been in Los An
geles for a year and the members will
turn out en- masse to receive him.
There are about 1900 Woodmen in
the seven southern counties, compris-
ing the twelfth district of forty camps.
AS the members have been working on
a campaign since January 1 and will
hold a monster initiation early in May
this visit of the head consul is timely
and opportune and doubtless will in
crease the number of limitations. This
meeting in Blanchard hall will be an
application getter and several hum
bred applications are expected. A mu-
steal and literary program will enter
tain the neighbors and the head con-
sui and head adviser will deliver in
strucriVe addresses.
The itinerary of the head consul in
Southern California will be as follows:
April 5, Los Angeles; April 6, Mon
rovia; April Z, Long Beach; April s,
Ontario; April 9, Whittier; April 10,
Anaheim.

SPIRlTUALISTS HOLD
MEMORIAL MEETINGS
CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY OF
MODERN CREED
Recent Developments in Contested
viii Case and Criticisms Passed
from Pulpit Discussed by
Leaders

The Peoples Spiritualistic church
began yesterday morning at Burbank
hall, South Main street, the first of a
four days celebration of the sixty-first
anniversary of modern spiritualism.
The meetings were largely attended
and Burbank hall was thronged
throughout the day. The principal ad-
dresses were given by Pastor Rev. w.
F. Peck, Mrs. Gertrude Smith. L. w.
Pope of Cleveland. Ohio; Prof. w. Z.
Bowman, DR.. Adah Patterson and Col
j. l.. Dryden.
During the addresses repeated men
ton was made of the practical demon
stration of spiritualism, which was
given in the superior court Thursday
afternoon by Bishop G. S. Garrison
and Prof. Harrison b. Barrett of Port
land, Ore, during the contested will
case of Richard Crawford Smith,
whose heirs allege that he left the bulk
of his fortune to three Spiritualists,
who used undue influence.
That the testimony given in the trial
by the Spiritualists was an aid to the
cause was the opinion generally eX-
pressed by the speakers.
Mrs. Gertrude Smith stated that al
though Prof. Barrett was in poor ply
steal health during his cross eXami-
nation, his mentality was as strong as
ever and showed the real value OF
spiritualism. She contended that great
good would be derived from the pub
lie exposition by the professor of the
many frauds perpetrated in the name
of Spiritualism.
After the evening further zest was
added to the discussion by the news
that DIR. Locke had denounced Spirit
ualism from his pulpit, the sentiment
voiced by leaders being again to the
effect that their cause would be aided
rather than injured.
The meetings will continue for three
days and at each meeting message
reading will be demonstrated, the pub
lie being given an opportunity of be-
holding tine wonders accomplished by
spirit rapping, trumpet messages and
slate writings.

To Escape Bnghting Port Charges.

harbor scheme at Jamaica bay that it is
believed will relieve the old lake and

giving other routes opportunity to cap
ture a large share of the export trade.
The idea is practically to transfer
New York city's maritime business to
Jamaica bay i'm a deep sea harhor pro-

larger canal boats that are to navigate
the Erie canal can discharge their car
goes directly into steamers if necessary.
and to which the large ocean liners can
proceed without delay on arrival.

The Death Penalty for Fast Living.


That one of the penalties of living too
fast is dying too fast is a truth to which
Americans subject to the growing
pressure of existence in the great cities
will do we'll to open their eyes In a
lecture at Columbia University the 9th
err day Frederick l.. Hoffman asserted
the speed of living in New York city to
he the cause of the higher death rate
in that city than in London.
LOndon'S inhabitants surviving the age
of 40. he pointed out, number S36 to the
1000, while the proportion per 1000 Of
that age and upward in New York is
only 40. For all that portion of the
United States for which there are sta
tistics collected with sufficient care ami
thoroughneSS to make them seem re-
liable. the death rate in country localities
is only 15.4, while in cities il is 1856.
Among the urban conditions which tend
TO cause the difference are enumera ted
bad air, bad milk. nervous strain, al
coholism, suicide and accidents.
Nervous strain undoubtedly is an I'M
portant factor. Not only is it a cause
of death in itself, but it reduces the
vitality of persons continually subjected
to it and makes them unduly susceptible

stances have fatal termination
