ATTACKS PLATFORM
OF PROHIBITIONISTS
Blind Orator Says Naturalization of
Liquor Traffic Would Result in
Elimination of the obiec-
tional Abuses

Decentralization of the liquor traf-
fic and the elimination of the profit
of the system of handling the liquor
question" were the principal points
brought out last night by j. B. Os-
borne, the blind orator, at the Social
list meeting in Mckinley hall, Walker
theater building, last night.
SALOONS" was the subject of the
address. and the blind orator, recently
arrived from Fresno, where he had de-
bated the prohibition movement with
Eugene Chain, Prohibition candidate
for president in the last presidential
election, strongly attacked the plat
form of the prohibitionists.
The abuse of liquor, according to the
speaker was the reason for such
strong temperance waves that have
spread over the country but he classed
such movements as a case of attacking
the head and tail of the evil and leav-
ing the body
"When the liquor traffic is national
lied" said the speaker, land the profit
system is reduced to a minimum, bet
ter liquor will be the result instead of
the adulterated mixtures now passed
out to the drinkers. When such a sys-
tenn is in vogue then people will drink
moderately. and a majority shall de-
eide whether beer or other Intoxicating
drinks shall be manufactured. Reduce
the profit and there will not be the de-
sire to have the open saloon, and by
putting the control of the traffic in
the hands of the people of the United
States the question will eventually
right itself. The Socialist party offers
the only solution of the question, and
prohibition will not prevail universally
until majority of the people say So
1t cannot be forced, but its abuse can
be restricted"

CONTRACTOR KILLED
BY RAILROAD TRAIN
Did Not Note the Approach of Salt
Lake Passenger Train Until
1t Was Nearly Upon
Him

e. I. Brush, so years old. a railroad
contractor of 554 Central avenue, was
struck by outbound Salt Lake passen-
ger train No. IA and killed almost in
stantly at Smelter curve, near Ninth
street, yesterday.
Brush was walking along the tracks,
evidently making an inspection for the
purpose OF entering bids for some con-
struction. The track makes a sharp
turn at this point. known as "Smelter
curve" The unfortunate man evidently
did not note the approach of the train
until it was directly on him. The en-
gineer saw him, whistled warning and
then applied the brakes. Brush made
an attempt to get out of the way, but
before he could clear the track was
struck by the engine. He was hurled
quite a distance and was dead when
picked up.
The body was placed aboard the
train and taken to the Salt Lake sta
ton. The coroner was notified and he
ordered the body taken to the under
taking establishment of Bresee Broth
'ers, where an inquest will be held.
Brush leaves a son and daughter,
who live in this city.

Masonic Services Used at the Grave

Follows the Body to Gem
etery

Funeral services were held yester-
day afternoon at 1870 o'clock over the
remains of Louie Chew, one of the
most prominent and influential Chi

The funeral, with full Chinese cere-
monies, was one of the biggest that
has been held in Chinatown for severa.
years. about sixty hacks containing
friends and business acquaintance OF
the dead man forming the funeral cor

The body was brought from the I'M
dertaking parlors of Jesse d. Button
at 1890 o'clock and placed beneath a
large canopy that had been erected for
the occasion in front of the residence
OF the dead man, 343 Apabiasa street.
On another table was placed a large as
sortment of edibles, which are sup
posed to furnish food for the deceased
on his voyage to the great unknown"
Three roasted pigs, dozens of roast
ducks, chickens and Chinese dainties
In abundance made up the store of
food.
The ceremonies usually employed
when a person of prominence dies
were carried out. The mourners, in
groups of two or three, advanced to
the table where the edibles were placed
and prayed silently with many .ges-
lures of the hands. The paid mourners,
dressed in white, and two Chinese flu
neral bands discoursed weird music.

The majority of the male population
of Chinatown attended the service and
large crowd of interested spectators
watched the ceremonies. which occu-
pied half an hour. Then the funeral
cortege formed, the canopy was re-
moved and in few minutes after the
procession started down Main street.
From the seat of the hearse one of
perforated slips of paper, for, accord
ing to Chinese superstition, the evil
spirits that may follow must pass
through every hole in. each separate
slip of paper before they reach the
body. and by doing this plenty of
time is given for the interment.
An express wagon was used to car
ry the edibles, and in another were the
clothes and bedding of the deceased.
Arriving at the Chinese cemetery in
Boyle Heights the body was placed in
the grave, to the accompaniment of
much chanting and loud playing by the
bands. The personal effects, clothes
and other belongings were burned and
the edibles were placed on top of the
grave.
Chew was a member of the Chinese
Freemasons, and their religious serv-
ice was carried out at the grave. Be-
tween the lips of the dead man an
American 25-cent piece had been
placed and scattered about the head
and shoulders were twenty Chinese
coins, amounting to about 10 cents in
American money. supposed to be need
ed in defraying expenses for the ''eter-
nal' journey.
In the right hand was held a mag
nificent Chinese fan and in the other
a number of Chinese cards.

T. p. SULLIVAN SHOOTS SELF
IN HIS ROOM
WAS A RETIRED REAL ESTATE
OPERATOR
Former San franciscan Grieved Over
Death Of Wife and Suffered, from
Ravaees of IncurabIe
Disease

T. p. Sullivan, S. years old, retired
real estate operator, committed suicide
by shooting himself in the right tenn
pie in his room at 30S South Flower
street The body was found by the
housekeeper when she entered the
room yesterday morning. Dependency
because of an incurable malady and
grief over the death of his wife, who
died nearly two years ago, prompted
Sullivan to end his life.
Sullivan was sufferer from tuber-
culosis and had been gradually grow
ing worse. For the last year he had
been occupying the room where he
ended his life. During that time he
never had any regular business trans
actions, and from remarks made to
Mrs. Ida Edwards, the landlady, he
had sufficient income from a rooming
house in San Francisco to supply his
needs.
He came to Los Angeles several
years ago. Some time after his arrival
in this city his wife died and was
buried In the Signal Hill cemetery at
Long Beach. Sullivan was greatly af-
fected by her death and never ceased
to grieve over his loss.
The unfortunate man made every
preparation for ending his life. In an
wards, the young daughter of the land
lady, Sullivan left small pocket
knife and several trinkets. He also
left note requesting that he be buried
beside his wife and that no religious
ceremony be held at the grave.
When the body was. found yesterday
morning death had occurred a number
of hours before. Mrs. Beyers. a room
err, heard sharp report at A O'Clock
Saturday evening. She thought the
sound came from an automobile that
was passing at the time and paid no
attention to it.
When the room was entered yester-
day morning the body was in chair,
pool of blood was on the floor and a
revolver near by.
The body was taken to the undertake
ing establishment of Bresee Bros, and
the coroner probably will sign GER
tificate Of suicide without holding an
inquest.
