Denounces Contractors Acts

BERKELEY, july 4.-Declaring that
the murder of Carolina Brasch in San
Francisco was directly induced by the
methods employed by contractors in the
payment of their laborers. Prof. a. p.
Smith, founder of THE Golden Rule Or
der OF the World" bitterly denounced
today the system employed by Gray
Brothers and other contractors using
time checks for the payment OF their
help.
His address was given before the con-
gregation of the Trinity Methodist
church of Berkeley at the evening serv-
ice, when Professor Smith was called
upon to outline the purposes of his or
ganization, which for the last year had
been doing missionary work in. the Cali
fornia penitentiaries. Under the head
of Mans Inhumanity TO Man" Smith
said:
Until there is more of brotherly
feeling existing between employer and
employe crimes will be committed. and
until better methods, such as are out
lined by the golden rule movement, are
employed starving men, or weak mind
ed and weak wisled men, will not be
driven to committing such terrible
crimes as are each day filling the col
umns OF our newspapers.
Do you want to know why the awful
Brasch murder was committed in San
Francisco a few days ago? 1t was ow-
ing TO the methods pursued by con-
tractors in the employment of their
men.

NOISE IN STOMACH
Is BOYS MYSTERY
WhistIing Keeps Parents Awake
and Gives Trouble to
Their Physician
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


LOS ANGELES. July 4-The mystery
of a strange whistling in the interior
of Albert Bennett, IA year old boy liv-
ing at S31 South Flower street, was ex-
planned yesterday when it was learned
that Albert swallowed small whistle
a week ago The discovery was made
by physicians after an attack of wind
on the stomach had produced so much
whistling that the folks were kept
awake all night. m
A physician was called Friday TO ex-
anime the boy after shrill sounds were
bert's raIhkellar. but he was unable to
find the cause of the disturbance and
left after giving Albert some medicine
and cautioning him against eating
green fruit.
Last night the boy began to whistle
like an accommodation train with cat-
tie on the track. He was in no distress
although suffering slightly from an at
tack of wind OH the stomach. and
seemed to enjoy the whistling.
The Bennett front yard was crowded
with envious small boys today, and AL
bert enjoyed his new notoriety thor
oughly until something went wrong in
side and a doctor was summoned. The
pain was. so severe that an ambulance
was called and the boy was taken to
the receiving hospital. When ques-
toned he reluctantly admitted that lie
had swallowed the whistle.
II didn't want to tell about it," he
said. because the kids all thought
could whistle that way" The whistle
was removed.

the big features among the new acts
this week. They sing their own songs

their successes, Sweet Adeline" and

Man Is Missing
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

RENO, New, July 4.-The agricul-
tural town of PrattvilIe in the northern
part of Plumas county, California, was
almost entirely destroyed by fire yes
terday afternoon at 1880 o'clock and
it is believed that Humphrey Ward, a
young man from Susanvile, persisted
in the Soison hotel, as.he has not been
seen since he entered the place shortly
before the fire.
The fire is attributed to defective
fiue in the rear of the Abbott store. in
the main street but another theory is
that it was caused by ashes in the
rear of the Cortear store. The Abbott
and Cortear stores, the Soisoli hotel
and saloon and the old Sackville hotel
were destroyed and all the houses ex-
cept three or four. The loss is $4,000.
Prattville is 40 miles north of
Quincy and 80 miles from Reno. Ow-
ing to the lack of wire communication
the report has been considerably de-
layed.

A War Prisoner For twenty-five
Years, at Age OF SO he Sue.
eumbS to PReu-

Lawton, Okla, Feb. 17.-Geronimo,
the noted Indian chief, died today at
Fort Sill, where he had been confined
as a prisoner of war for number of
years.
Geronimo died of pneumonia a. the
hospital at the Fort Sill army post.
He will be buried in the Indian Gene
terry near the Fort tomorrow By Chris
tan missionaries, Geronimo having
prefessed religion three years ago.
Geronimo, war chief of the Apathes,
was captured with his band at Ske!-
ton Canyon, Ariz., twenty-five years
ago, having surrendered to General
Nelson A Miles after a three thousand
mile chase. It is a curious coi1ci-
dence that news of Geronimo's death
was sent out from LaWton, which was
named after the late Major General
Henry F. Lawton, who, as liellten-
ant in General Miles command, led
the 5000 mile chase that resulted ia
the Apache chiefs surrender.
The chase after Geronimo was be
gun at Omaha in aJnuary, 1885. Gen
eral Miles, in command of the Depart
ment of the Missouri, received instrEe-
tions to rout the band of indians
headed by Geronimo and kill or cap
ture its chief. General Miles began
operations by organizing an eXpedi-
ton consisting of the second, eighth
and ninth infantry and the fourth
fifth sixth and eighth cavalry, tie
horsemen being in charge of Lieu-en-
ant Lawton. The expedition was got
ten under way in January, 1854, hui
the capture Of Geronimo anu his banC
was not made until nearly two years
later.
Since he has been confined at For
Sill Geronimo has made many at
tempts to gain his liberty. iIaTiy ii
1908 he made a trip to Washln gtoE
with some of his followers in s.n ,et
fort to interest President lloosevel
in his case. The old Indian was ,un
successful, however, and to the las
he was full of bitter hatred of tn
white man.
Geronimo was So years old.

BUILDING AND LOAN TOWNS.
Charlette's Example and What Colds
bOrO May Learn From 1t.

The Danville Bee, in citing statis-
tics on building and loan associations,
gives some striking illustrations of
the home-building achievements of
this modern invention of Intelligent
cooperation that should appeal with
wholesome effect to our Goldsboro
people.
We quote from the Bee as follows:
philadelphia is the greatest home
owning city in this country, and that
in New Jersey the per capita invest
ment by the people In building and
loan organizations Is SIT. Think OF
it! For every man, woman and child
in the entire State of New Jersey an
average of SIT is invested In this one
enterprise or form Of enterprise
Among the cities Charlotte, N. c..
leads every other in the South and
probably in the whole country, Phila-
de1phia excepted, with $24 per capits
paid in on this stock and $1OO PEI
capita subscribed.
This magnificent showing of uni
versai thrift and prosperity by Char
lotte is largely the result of the in
stitution of the modern building an'
loan plan, whereby loans can be Sc
cured at per cent. This means on
1y per cent. during the entire lif
of the loan until it's extinction en-
not per cent. on the entire princi
pal until the last dollar is paid. T
make 1t still clearer, it means i pc
cent interest on the balance du
at the time Of every payment. I
this connection we may add that tn
Mutual Building and Loan Associe
a1ion of Danville is based upon tn
Charlotte plan and is a guaranteed
lper cent. investment for all who d.
sire to utilize the opportunity for sa'
ings and a maximum interest rate
but 6 per cent. for those who desi1
to borrow money with which to bui
homes. The interest payments on tt
loans hardly equal the cost of rent.
