At the Christian.


There was usual large audience
present last night at the Christian
church to hear Evangelists Lilley and
McVay. The mus, last night by the
orchestra and chorus was unusually
good. Mr.. McVay sang before the SER
mon, How Far is it Called to the
Grave" The song made a deep i'm
preston upon the audience and you
could have heard pin drop while he
was singing it, SO perfectly quiet was
Tue audience.
Tonight Mr.. Mcvay will sing "sav-
ed BY Grace"
When the invitation was given last
night two persons accepted Christ.
Evangelist Lilley is powerful
gospel preacher. He knows the gospel
and breaches it. He is methodical in
the presentation of any truths and his
illustrations are always helpful in
impressing those truths upon the
minds of the people.
Last night his sermon theme was,
Can Person be Saved Outside the
church,"
The following are some of the things
the evangelist said mo intelligent
person expects to be lost. Many are
looking for excursion rates to heav-
en-.
There are two reasons why such a
question is asked. /. People do not
want to take upon themselves obliga-
tons, and change their manner OF
living. Still they want to be saved.
2. Churches ask people to believe
and do things unnecessary.
IF you mean by church this con-
gregation, or M. E. church, or Bap-
fist church, yes. If you mean the
kingdom of Christ or church of Christ,

ACTRESS is DOUBLE
OF MARY ANDERSON
Gladys Hanson, Playing With
Sothern, Resembles Old
Time FavOrite

When, in E. H. Sothern's production
of Hamlet" at the Van Ness theater
tomorrow evening. the queen mother of
the prince of Denmark appears old the
ater goers will gasp. For moment
they will think that time has turned
back in its fight and restored young
Mary Anderson just for one night. But
it will not be Mary Anderson, now Nine.
de Navarro; 1t will be Miss Gladys
Hanson, Sothern's leading woman
In face and form Miss Hanson Is
the double of Mary Anderson. Then,
too, it is said that her talent is SO
great that those who have seen her act
believe that she may yet take the place
in the love and appreciation of
theater goers which was held SO long
by Mary Anderson and which is as yet
untitled.
Daniel Frohman, the New York the
atricaI manager, brought Miss Hanson
to Sotherns attention. The moment the
actor saw her he exclaimed, You look
like Mary Anderson, and whether you
like it or not you. will have to act like
her."
The young leading woman has ac-
cepted to the full the responsibility
thrust on her by the fairy godmother
who bestowed on her the beauty and
grace of the lovely Mary
Miss Hanson is from Atlanta, Ga
There her name was Gladys Hanson
Shook. But no one will blame her for
eliminating the surname and adopting
the more euphonious middle name on
the stage. She was society girl and
that sort of thing in Atlanta before she
joined Sothern.
Should predictions be realized Miss
Hanson will be but one of the many
talented people whom Sothern has de-
veloped and given to the world as fin
ished artists.
Besides appearing as the queen in
Hamlet" Miss Hanson will play the
lovely Lucy Sacheveren in Richard
Lovelace" and Georgina in Lord Dun
dreary,' the role Sothern's father
originated.

California Delegations Hope for
appropriation Goes GIim-
mering
Chairman of Rivers and HarbOrs
Committee Kills Chances
of Bill
Measure for S5O,OOO,OOO Gem
eral Fund Loses at Stormy
Meeting
Especial Dispatch 10 The cqll

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 16.-The
hope Of the California delegation that
about s1,OOO,OO0 would be appropriated
for the Improvement of Oakland harbor
and the channel leading to Mare island
have gone glimmering The decision
was reached at one Of the stormiest
meetings ever held by the house com
mittee on rivers and harbors.
AS has been told in dispa tches to The
Cau. a majority of the members of the
committee favored reporting a bill
carrying an appropriation of about
s5O,0oO,000. The only man on the COM
mittee strongly opposed to such
move was Burton Of Ohio, the chair
man, who held that the condition of
the treasury does not warrant large
river and harbor appropriations at this
time.
The members OF the committee. how
ever, organized an opposition TO Burton,
and at today's meeting they decided by
a vote of 10 TO to report bill car
rying S5O,OO0,OO0. This action moved
Burton TO such wrath that he an
announced to the committee that he, as
chairman, wo9ld have nothing to do
with the preparation of the bill, and If
II was prepared without his assistance
he would refuse 10 report il to the
house.
Burton made such an energetic pro-
test that the committee finally reversed
itself and decided to report a bill car
rying an appropriation of 81, ,000, 600 for
surveys. Under this bill money will be
appropriated for various surveys in
Oakland and San Francisco harbors.
Among those who fought the stand
taken by Burton today was Represen-
rative McLachlan Of California, who
was one Of the leaders in the fight for
general rivers and harbors bill at
this session.

CRUELTY CHARGES
DENIED BY PAXTON
Broker Declares There Is No
Truth in Stories of Mis-
treatment of Wife

A denial of every allegation of
cruelty made in the divorce complaint
of Susan D. Paxton constitutes the an
swer of Charles E. Paxton. the stock
broker, filed yesterday. The answer is,
in fact. as long as the complaint. Pax
ton does not pray that divorce be
granted him, but merely that his wife's
petition be denied and that she be
ordered to pay him costs.
The only occasion on which Paxton
in his answer makes direct allega-
tion is when he insists that he has at
all times treated his wife in a civil and
has objected to her entertaining her
friends. He denies in detail her many
allegations of abusive and cruel con-
duct. It is not true, Paxton says, that
he called his wife '.rotter,' cat
and other abusive epithets. He never
told her that she had better be at
home where she belonged rather than
sticking around with a gang of old
hens" he says. Paxton declares that
he at no time referred to women as
hens
The alleged occurrence at the ST.
Francis hotel when, according to Mrs.
dAbOh . SOiuPioiilts iiCi AuoOduu SdlQ
to her. "Oh, you go to the devil--I am
going to eat with my own bunch" is
also unfounded, according to Paxton.
In fact, he raises a direct issue of fact
as to every allegation made by his
wife. The answer was drawn by At
torney Charles f. Hanlon and indicates
that the suit is to be vigorously con-
tested.
William P Levy who had sued Ma
tilda Levy for divorce on the ground
of habitual intemperance. was induced
by Judge Graham yesterday to with
draw the suit, thus adding another to
the judges long list of reconciliations.
The Levys, who were married in 1890,
and their four children had session
in Judge Graham's chambers yesterday
morning. The combined efforts of the
Judge and the children brought the
quarreling couple together.

John T. Stayton, assistant postmaster

one but those directly concerned. For
some time past letters addressed to<In-

him, and he has been called down as
many times by the authorities on the

which he had been Informed by letter.
So often did these official letters disap-

was some one in the local Office who
was interested in keeping information
from him. He advised the officials on

the usual way, but to send duplicates
in the name of George W. Carr, chief Of

refuse from the city have informed
their patrons that they have been un-
able to secure a dumping ground since
they have been enjoined from placing
their loads just outside the city limits
A feeling or apprehension is spreading
through the city. 1t is now two days
since any garbage has been removed.
and the matter is beginning to assume
serious aspect. The city health board
is busy hunting a disirable location to
be used as dump until the citizens de-
eide in bond election whether or not
it is advisable to construct an incinera-
tor. District Attorney A. NJ Free. in a
statement tonight, intimated that the
scavengers themselves are partially re-
sponsible for the present status OF af-
fairs. He stated that they are unwilling
to haul any great distance from the
city. He claims that in several in
stances they have failed to keep dumps
in the county properly covered with
earth and that they have become breed

Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan have apart

Morgan, but left the Clampett home in

Then there was shopping to do. A

Her gown yesterday was the black silk

Her heavy mass of black hair was
