MURDER TRIAL ROUSES PARIS
Public Pays $500 for Seats in Grim
inal Court Room.
HUSBAND MURDER Is CHARGE
Woman Is Accused of Staying
Spouse and His Mother in
Order to Marry An
other.

PARIS, Nov. 3.-Not since 1902, when
Frederic and Therese Humbert were con-
vlcted of a S12,0OOO00 swindle has a trial
in Paris excited the intense interest ex-
hibtted in the case of Nine 4doiphe Stein
he'll, which was opened before Judge
DeValles in the Seine assze court today.
Nine. Steinheil is on trial for her life,
charged with the murder of her husband
and her mother-in-law, Nine. Jahey The
alleged motive is found in the defendant's $
hatred for her mother-ln-law and a desire
to rid herself Of the husband in order that
she might marry Maurice Borderel, q
wealthy merchant who had become infatu-
ated with her.
The talent and attractiveness of the
woman, combined with the mystery of her
career and her connections with persons in
public life, have fed the popular imagina-
tion and led the public to believe that the
most startling disclosures are imminent.
Judge DeValles had received 1000 applica-
tions for seats in the court room, but he
arbitrarily refused all with the exception
of those made for members of the press
the bar and others directly concerned with
the trial.
Big Prices for Seats.
To these were added the first 100 persons
who, starting in line this morning, sought
admission. The law provides for public
admission 10 the. trial of any case not
heard in camera, and the admission of the
100 mentioned met this requirement Of the
law today.
! In the hope of securing one Of these Gov
/ eted places, many men and women stood
before the entrance through last night and
/ places of vantage commanded as high a.
500.
In refusing the many applications fol-
/ seats, Judge DeValles declared that he die
/ not propose to tolerate a repetition of pre-
vious scandals by turning the present pro
ceedings into a music hall performance
Most Of today's session was occupied will
the selection of jury and the reading Of
the Indictment
During her examination, which was dra
matte Nine Steinhen protested her limo
cence and declared repeatedly that he
original account OF the crime, to the effec
that It had been committed by men dressed
in long flowing coats, with the assistane
Of a red haired woman, was true.
She explained the stories told by he
subsequently, in which she accused various
persons, on the ground that she was in
nervous condition at the time and the vic
tim of auto-suggestion on the part o
Journalists police officers and others.

APPROVES FORMATION OF
GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUBS

LOS ANGELES. April 29-lEditor
Herald: 1 congratulate you on your
answer to the Times editorial of last
Sunday on the New Political Ma
chine" I fear it is time wasted to try
to put the "old lady" right at this
time. She has been associating with
her present friends so long that now
old age having come to her, she can
not be expected to jump from one eX-
+rerne to another. l desire to con-
erratulate our mayor in his efforts TO
TenIace unworthy officials with worthy
men. He was elected by the best cltl-
zenship in the full belief that he would
do lust exactly what he is trying TO
to do. ,-,-
sition regarding the liquor question:
and have not heard of any exceptions
to his attitude, except in the Times.
The Times is wrong land behind the
times" regarding Mr.. Lissner's address
at the city club on the plan of good
government clubs throughout the city
The plan was suggested at meetlns
of Alexander committeeman In SYM
nhony hall, prior to the late election,
and met with the hearty approval of
Mr.. Lissner and others present. The
need of such a club in every precinct
to combat all that the Times and the
political machine it represents stands
for is manifest to every citizen who
believes that the majority of men are
honest and that the majority should
rule.
1t might further surprise the Times
to learn that to the writer's knoWl-
edge at least one club was organized
along the lines suggested by Mr.. Liss-
ner Immediately after the late cleo
ton by men who place Citizenship
above craftsmanship, without the assis-
lance Of Mr.. Lissner or any newspaper.
Mr.. Lissner's support of the gigantic
machine" is very much appreciated
The need of such a machine is abso-
lutely necessary in the coming primar-
les in order that the candidates rep
resenting the interest of all that is fol-
the good of our city shall be victor
ious. The organization that stands for
corruption in city and state politics
must be met in the political arena by
organized decency, and it is sacred
duty we owe God and our country tc
do our utmost to promote public good
Yours, "a good government booster

lions as you wish or throw this in the

GOOD ROADS

4 FTER all, the matter of prime I'M
4 portance to the public in connec-
n ton with good roads is the
prompt, economical and satisfactory
construction of the roads. 1t has been
thought wise to safeguard with pru-
deut precaution the expenditure OF
vast sums of public money. Every
thing should be done decently and in
order, and the people should not be
asked continually to be the spectators
either of public fights or of closed
doors behind which public officials hold
secret meetings.
It is contrary to reason, good sense
and good public business policy that
representatives of the people who
voted the good roads bonds and sane
toned the expenditure of money should
tell the public it is none of the pub
lies business how they, with powers
derived from the public, transact I'M
portant public business. What pre-
posterous situation! When asked to
give an account Of his stewardship the
steward tells his employer it is none
of his business"
It is gratifying to learn the ad-
visory committee and the supervisors
have reached an amicable understand
ing. Mr.. Blanchard says all differences
have been patched up and committee
men and supervisors understand each
other thoroughly.
We are also told a plan of cam
paign has been decided upon in order
to push the good roads work as fast
as possible. In their secret meeting,
however, the supervisors and commit
teemen reckoned without the highway
commission, the chairman of which In
interviews gave evidences of dudgeon
over the neglect of the supervisors and
committeeman to consult his organiza-
ton. Many citizens believe the actual
WORK on the good roads should have
been begun weeks if not months ago.
It is to be hoped respect for public
interests will produce interoffcial har-
mony which will yield practical results.
| Secret meetings, even when dignitied
| by the title executive sessions" are
| displeasing to an overwhelming ma
jority of the citizens and taxpayers,
who believe they are entitled to the
fullest and most complete knowledge
of every detail connected with the ex-
penditure of funds in building good
roads. In a case like this, where a
huge sum of public money and a pub
lie undertaking of paramount impor-
lance are concerned, secrecy is the
mother of scandal; publicity is a guar
antee of good faith and honesty.

THE INDIAN

~ ENATOR ROBERT L. OWEN of
Oklahoma, who, like not a few
NJ Americans, has good Indian blood
In his veins, has revived the Indian
question by demanding that the gov
eminent cease patronizing and nursing
the Indian. He blames governmental
interference for the Generalization Of
certain Indian tribes, although he is
aware the prevalent idea of the disap-
pearance Of the Indian from the North
American continent is entirely errone-
Gus. Senator Owen says the Indian is
equipped to work out his own saliva
ton, and must be allowed to do so.
INC apprehension need be felt for the
future of the full-blooded Indian" he
adds. whenever the United States
takes its meddlesome hands off the In
dian and let's him alone the Lord Of
lords, who holds the affairs of all men,
will rule the affairs Of the Indian in
the good old way. The Indian will then
become an industrious unit, self-re-
specting and self-sustaining.
Senator Owen refuses to regard the
Indian race as inferior to the Cauca-
sian. "The full-blood has a good in
tenect," he asserts. I'm the lines in
which he has been engaged, he is the
equal of the white man, if not his SUI
perior. This has been demonstrated in
his singular ability as a hunter, as a
scout, as a trapper and as warrior
where he pitted his wits against the
enemy and placed his life in the scales
The mental and moral qualities Of the
Indian will assure his future. But the
sooner every office holder in the Indian
office is discharged from office and the
office itself absolutely abolished, with
out vestige of itself, except its his
torieal name, the better for the Indian
I say this for the reason that thu
Indian office attempts to nurse the In
dian individual at long range and pro
tect him in his property by legal pro
cess and the issuing of orders and thu
bringing of lawsuits, all of which ar
but vanity"
In short, Senator owen believes TIL
Indian knows his own business best
and should be allowed to transact it.

SIXTH WARD SCANDAL

4 WORD to the wise is sufficient, ana
~ the mere recital of the grievances
IA of citizens of the Sixth ward should
induce the council to remedy those
grievances and abate nuisances which
menace the health of our city. The
council should REFUSE to renew pres
ent contracts for the disposition of dead
animals. The council should HASTEN
to make sanitary arrangements for the
incineration of all the city's garbage.
This is not a case in which the council
or any councilman has any reasonable
ground for hesitating The duty of our
representatives is plain. They must do
their duty without procrastination.
DELAY is DANGEROUS TO PUBLIC.
HEALTH.
The Herald hopes the councilman
from the Sixth, without any further
prodding or prompting, will do his duty
by his constituents and take measures
to remedy the evils which are affiet-
ing an important, populous and pros
porous division of the city. One of
the nuisances complained of by tho
citizens of the Sixth ward is a fertiliz-
ing plant, which is poisoning the air
with fetid, unwholesome odors. Boys
and girls on their way to and from
school have to breathe the fertilizer
befouled air Of course it has a
deleterious effect, and the sickeningI
odor cannot be excluded from the
homes. 1t goes into the houses, mingles|
with the food and affects the health
of families
Another menace to the public is the
present system of disposing of city
garbage. 1t is collected in great dumps
and hogs are fed on it. The diet must
be poisonous even to pigs, because so
FER cent of the animals die. What is
done with the dead hogs? VIII the
councilman from the Sixth find out ex
actly and make public the result of his
The garbage-fed swine
yield pork which, according to DR..
Powers, is loathsome and unfit for hu-
man consumption. 1t could not pass
the government inspection, and could
not be shipped out of the city. Surely
we are not to infer it is sold for food
in the city of Los Angeles. But, if i'll
is not thus used, what becomes of IT,
What is done with it?
The conditions complained of by the
great Sixth ward, the ward of homes
and of families. of boys and of girls
should be remedied IMMEDIATELY.

HYPOCRISY

r ESUS had no mercy on hypocrisy.
In rebuking it he never minced
- words. A sinner he pitied. A
hypocrite he scorned. Error he pitied.
False pretenses he loathed. Can the
blind lead the blind?" he asked. Shall
they not both fall into the ditch? Why
beholdest thou the mote that is in thy
brothers eye, but perceivest not the
beam that is in thine own eye? Either
how canst thou say to thy brother,
Brother, let me pull out the mote that
is in thine eye when thou thyself be-
holdest not the beam that is in thine
own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first
the beam out Of thine own eye. and
then shalt thou see clearly to pull out
the mote that is in thy brothers eye"
As soon as a person engages in the
didactic practice of the rebuke of any
kind of error, he must not only avoid
committing the error he rebukes, but
he must avoid the appearance Of evil,
otherwise his teaching will surely come
to naught We hope we will not be
accused of being hypercritical when We
modern life to be hypocritical-to say
one thing and do another; or, as the
modern proverb goes, Ito take it out in
talk" The very fact this proverb can
be quoted shows the sin which Jesus
rebuked and despised exists in modern
society. No honest man will ever, I'M
der any circumstances, take reward,
credit or glory that does not belong to
him, that he has not earned. any more
than he will take money that is not
his by right.
There are circumstances under which
hypocrisy may be as fragrant a form of
graft as the less subtle kind with
which modern society is familiar There
is a great deal that is commendable in
the old southern idea of "honor" and
"chivalry." Honor is a virtue. It is
akin to religion. A man who fears
God and honors his fellow men can
look the whole world in the face, for
whether rich or poor, he is a MAN.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

GREATER LOS ANGELES will be-
VT gin its history from the minute
~ of the accomplishment of consoli-
dation. No partner in the consolida-
ton will lose any of the glory of for
mer achievements. The cities which
will make up the consolidated city will
not lose identity or individuality. In
Greater New York, Brooklyn is still
Brooklyn; Manhattan is still Manhat-
tan. Yet for years Brooklyn was OPP
posed to consolidation because the citi-
zens of Brooklyn said their city would
lose it's identity, of which they were
proud Although Brooklynites have
lived to find out the folly of opposition
to consolidation and to thank their
stars the counsels of the little New
Yorkers-if impassioned appeals to
prejudice can be called counsels-were
not allowed to prevail, we are sorry
to be compelled to state the opponents
to Greater Los Angeles are using meth
DDS similar to those practiced in vain
by the little New Workers. They are
not presenting arguments. They are
merely appealing to unreasonable pre-
JUDGE.
Consolidation will emphasize the
fact that San Pedro is not the seaport
of a railroad corporation, but of Great
err Los Angeles. AS the harbor OF
Greater Los Angeles, the future of San
Pedro will be one of great prosperity
1t will become the principal sea-
port of the Pacific coast That is its
destiny; and it is a destiny which will
be fulfilled within a few years.
Greater Los Angeles will be mari
time city. Any person who opposes
consolidation is opposing the progress
and prosperity of Los Angeles, anC
corporation objections to the plan for Z
greater city are based on the charac'
teristic which predominates all corpOr
alton policies-sheer selfshness ant
wanton willingness to sacrifice public
interests for the promotion Of privat'
purposes.

being increased constantly. There is
no country in civilization that offers
its inhabitants SO much in such great
variety as does Los Angeles. The rep

floral loneliness and for sane, health

greatly by that magnificent success,
the Hollywood Floral Festival. To all
citizens whose hard work and good
taste and sound judgment aided in
making the Festival successful The
Herald offers hearty congratulations
and, In behalf of Los Angeles and

CITY'S DUTY

nR. SHERWIN GIBBONS of the
board of health deserves the very
~ greatest credit not only for his
lf-sacrihcing professional services to
the poor foreigners of this city, but
for his suggestion a special physician
should be appointed to do work among
the impoverished. We think, however,
the term charity physician" should
not be used. Many people hold an
ideal state would put all qualified
physicians on salary and give the
public free medical service. This
would not make the public charity
patients" We think it is the DUTY
of society to attend to its sick poor
The Herald heartily supports Dr. Glib
bons in calling the attention of the
city to a neglected part of its DUTY
We hope the remedy proposed by DR.
Gibbons will be adopted.

BIBLE SHOULD BE READ
IN ITS SPIRITUAL SENSE

LOS ANGELES, April 3O.-[Editor
Herald: l see by the reply of James
T. Travis that he has no conception OF
spiritual things and therefore cannot
discriminate between temporal, actual
things and spiritual things of the hu-
man soul, which leads him to dsnounce
Moses as a romancer and Jesus as in
dorsing and relying on fiction, not to
say lies. In the first place, Moses did
not originate the story in Genesis. MY
information is that the first ten chap
tiers were Transcribed, almost word for
word, from the book of Jasher, men
toned Josh. 1913 and Sam. f:lS,
which may have been written thou-
sands of years before Moses. Jewish
history begins with Abraham. Gen,
11:27.
If the Bible were merely a natural
record of people, it would have been
buried with the tablets of Nineveh and
Babylon, and been forgotten; but the
Bible lives today by Virture or lts
spiritual sense, which is It's Yltailty'
and power of which also the existence
of the Jewish race this day bears
witness. Faith in the power unseen is
the uplifting and sustaining power OF
all human life, and such as are with
out faith in anything can accomplish
nothing as to faith. See Hebrews IL,
beginning. "Faith is the substance OF
things hoped for the evidence of things
not seen" Read the whole chapter
for there is food for all.
To say that spiritual wickedness In
high places means the Jews and pagan
powers condemns itself, for spiritual
does not mean temporal l refuse to
discuss the Bible in its literal state
ments, as its most important state
ments cannot be reconciled with natur,
al laws, for they are physical impossi'
bilities. Nevertheless, they are true
when spiritually perceived and under
stood. This science requiring key tS

According to Benjamin F. Trueblood,
secretary of the American Peace So
ciety, the number of persons killed in
war since the beginning of authentic
history is equal to the total number of
people who have inhabited the globe
in the last 600 years. The estimated
number of war victims reaches the
stupendous total of $1,000, 100000 For
much of this horrifying slaughter the
nations that use the American or

the leaders of civilization have been
