The government is pushing the prepara-

Loeb's changes in the. service which, the
Surveyor said were made in the interest of
the government. and, legitmately. i'm the
interest of the importers. many of the
changes having been those ne. the Surveyor,
had repeatedly urged for nearly eight years.
He said

partment and the representatives of the

justified in following the course OF giving

ILLEGAL TO DATE BACK POLICY.

Albany. oct. 2S.-The state supernten-
dent OF Insurance, Mr. Hotchfiss, to-day
made public ruling in which he holds
that the practice of dating pack life in
surance policy in order to give the insured
the benefit of younger age subjects those
concerned TO punishment for misdemeanor
He says this practice is clearly discrmina-
tory and falls within the prohibition of
Section 50 of the insurance law. and that
such violation is "A misdemeanor as pro
vided by Sections 1.19l and 1900 of the
Penal Code Under these two sections Of
the code. read together, both the agent Of
the company or It's officers and the assured

FREETHOUGHT LECTURE WORK.

that the most active form of Freethough propaganda

History will furnish additional proof of the statement
made.
Twenty years ago when the of Freethought could
boast dozen public lecturers roaming at will over the
country, all the liberal publications of that period were
better supported their subscription lists bigger than
they today and their income considerably larger One
after another from different causes including DEATH the
lecturers have disappeared and number of liberal publ
cations have suspended while the continuing papers and
magazines are not receiving that hearty support char
acterstc of generation ago.
The logical inference would be- then that with more lee
urers in the field comprising aggregation of capable
and women, the public thought would be quckened,
Freethinkers would find a greater encouragement and
rapid growth must ensue.
One of the most pleasing results of the Canal Dover
debate is that a movement is o. foot organize

1t is reasonably certain that the conventions of Sep

of bringing the Freethnkers into closer bond of unity,
and what Is more, they are happily surprised at ther
numerical strength For many years, Mr. Samuel TOomey
was practically alone in Canal Dover. Today he has
abundant sympathy and support. There are now more
Freethnkers in Canal Dover than Mr.. Toomey had
dreamed Of and these public lectures and debates have
brought them into the light
Similar results are reported from McConnelsville.
Previous to last September there had been Free

there were but few knew each other Now is written

BANK PRESIDENT SUED
OVER DEAL IN STOCK
COURT ASKED TO DECLARE
SALE WAS VOID
Long Beach Savings Institution Failed
Six Months After Investment
Amounting to $500
Was Made

The trial of the suit Of M. j. Ely
against Charles l.. Heartwell presi-
dent of the Citizens Savings bank of
Long Beach, in which Ely seeks to
have his purchase of stock in the bank
declared void, was begun before a
jury in Judge Conrey's department OF
the superior court yesterday.
Ely says he purchased $500 worth of
the banks stock May Z, 1907, after
Heartwell had represented that the
bank was in good financial condition
and the stock worth more than par.
These representations, and others, Ely
says, he discovered later to be I'M
true, and made for the purpose of in
ducing him to invest in the stock of the
bank, which suspended payment about
six months later as the result, he
claims, of bad investments.
Heartwell contends that the repre-
sensations made to Ely at the time
the stock was sold were true to the
best of his knowledge, and says the
failure of the bank was due, not to
poor investments, but to the condition
of the financial market and the low
value of securities at the time. The
trial will be resumed today.

CAESAROTOMY PERFORMED;
OPERATION SUCCESSFUL
Mother and Child Saved by Skill of
Surgeons of Angelus
Hospital

At the Angelus hospital, ten days
ago. Drs e. G. Goodrich and Ralph X:
Rea performed caesarotomy, one OF
the rarest and most dangerous opera
lions known to surgery. Yesterday the
patient, the young wife of Main
street business man, left the hospltal
convalescent. Her baby, sturdy IN
FAINT, accompanied the mother.
When the patient was sent to the
hospital, two weeks ago. it was prac-
tically under sentence of death and
the operation was decided on as the
last and only means of saving the lie
of the mother. Because of the skill
of the surgeons, both mother and child
were saved and the marvellous record
of a return to health made in almost
less time than under normal condi-
tions.
The operation in chief was performed
by DR.. Goodrich in less than half a
minute and the entire time consumed
was less than half an hour.
The child is a big lusty infant and
apparently no different from little
ones born under normal conditions.
The operation is regarded by the
surgeons of Los Angeles as bordering
on. the marvellous, time and results
considered.

JUSTICE SCORED
AS PREJUDICED
BY MRS. briggs
PRELIMINARY HEARING ENDS
IN STIRRING SCENE
COURT lNTIMATEs THAT OTHERS
SHOULD BE INVOLVED
No Evidence offered on Behalf of
Prisoner and Motion to Dis
miss Case Is Denied
Promptly

A climax bordering closely on the
sensational came when the preliminary
hearing of Mrs. Z Gertrude DflgSs'
charged with recording a forged lease
was concluded in Justice Ling's court
yesterday. The justice declared the al
fair should be investigated further ny
the district attorney, to determine II
others than Mrs. briggs were involved
in what is said to have. been an llleSal
effort to gain possession of property
left by the wealthy John j. Charnock.
Following this statement Mrs. Drlggs
accused the justice of unfairness, and
it was with difficulty she could be re-
strained by her attorney from utterlng
further remarks expressive Oh her
opinions concerning the court.
Attorney Noleman offered no defense
in behalf of his client yesterday, and
Justice Ling held the woman to an"
swer to the superior court, the bonds
remaining at $4,000, a sum which Mrs.
briggs has not yet been able to FUR
nish.
No Evidence introduced
ST have changed my plans and VIII
not introduce any, evidence" said Mr..
Noleman.f Il would like, however TO
renew nv motion to dismiss the case"
THAT motion is denied" responded
Justice Ling. "In my opinion forgery
has been committed, and the district
attorneys office should make further
investigation. If this woman is guilty
I don't think she is the only person
against whom complaint should be
filed.
There are many suspicious circum-
stances connected with the case. the
taking of an acknowledgment without
witnessing the signing of document
is one, and another is the request made
of Charnock's attorney for sample OF
his handwriting"
AS Justice Ling arose from his seat
to leave the court room Mrs. briggs
advanced toward him. Il want TO
speak to you" she said.
1.-THE case is disposed of, and" be-
gan the justice, when he was inter-
rupted.
II think you have been very unfair
in this examination. You were preJu-
diced from the beginning" said the
woman.
Before she could express her opinions
further she was led from the court
room by her attorney.

from the sidewalk to catch street car
directly in front of the cab, and be-
fore the driver could check the speed
or stop the machine Murray had been
struck. The injured man exonerated
the chauffeur from blame.
