The assertion by President Ripley of

In the statement of Mr. RinIev
which was given wide publicity in the
press, he stated that the transcon-
tinental railroads made low terminal
rates to the coast solely on account of
water competition, and that but for
Such competition the railroads would
not be justified in making such terrni-
nal rates.
He further stated that these terni-
nal rates for such a long time had
been so low that the people upon the
Pacific coast had become spoiled and
thought they were being mistreated
because another advance in rail rates
had been made.
Now, what are the actual facts con-
corning these rates?
1T is an incOntestable fact. shown

Ever since woman's beauty held
sway over man and brought her power,
influence and wealth, she has sought
a way to stay the processes of old age
and Danish deep lines and burrows
from the brow.
Chemists, beauty doctors and skin
specialists have for centuries past
vainly tried to fathom the sealed Sc
crets of nature and a way to keep
the beauty of youth in a WOman's face
and form.
Harriet Meta was no exception to
the general rule of women. Trouble
and worry left their unsightly lines
and marks upon her face. She saw
the beauty OF her youth giving way
to the heavy imprints OF coming age.
Her first resort was to facial mass
age, cold cream and steaming pots;
then next to beauty specialists; but all
in vain. The wrinkles seemed, if any
thing, to grow deeper and deeper.
Massage even appeared to stretch the
skim more wrinkles came! She had
spent all the money she could afford
to spend, and was ready to give up in
despair when one day friend made a
happy suggestion.
This gave her a brilliant idea. She
set to work on the thing herself, and
AFTER several months nara LABOR ana
almost endless experimenting, she
succeeded in producing a wrinkle re-
mover entirely different from anything
she had seen or heard of. She tried
it on herself, and 10 and behold! it
worked a wonderful transformation in
a single night. She tried it a second
night, and her wrinkles were practi-
caIly gone A third night = three
treatments in all - and her wrinkles
had entirely disappeared and her skin
was soft, clear, rosy and smooth.
Many others also have used this re-
markable process with wonderful re-
suits.
Mrs. Moran Elmer of New York city
writes: Your treatment removed all
my wrinkles in one night" Mrs. Turn
ham of Seattle, Wash, says: my
wrinkles are all gone; words cannot ex-
press how grateful 1 feel to you for
what your treatment has done for me-
Mrs. A. M. Brooks of Howe, Texas,
writes: Your treatment is the first I
ever tried that really had the desired
effect in banishing face lines. 1 am IS

GRAND JURY IN
SECRET DEBATE
County's Experience with Automobiles
and Steel Pipe Reported as
Having Been Subjects of
Investigation

Presumably the grand jury was en-
gagged yesterday in considering what
report it should make to Judge James
in regard to the charges Of protected
vice, investigation into which has been
carried on several months. The body
passed two hours of the forenoon in
seclusion, undisturbed by witnesses or
representatives of the district attor-
ney.
But an obstacle to further progress,
for the time being at least, was dis
covered when the afternoon session be-
gan. George Alexander, who only two
hours before had retired from the
board Of supervisors, was in waiting
when Secretary Gregory emerged to
search for tardy juryman.
I'll tell them you're here said the
secretary as he darted into the room.
Before the former supervisor could
reply to any questions propounded by
outsiders he was called into the secret
chamber. He remained two hours and
when he emerged the jury followed
him, adjourning to Wednesday.
Mr.. Alexander, 1t is understood, told
the jury about the county's expe-
riences with automobiles, new and sec
ond-hand. Steel pipe, bills for which
have been held up recently, were, it is
believed, also the subject of inquiry.

SUPERVISORS LEARN
ROAD BONDS ARE LEGAL
Opinion Of Experts Dillon G. Hubbard
on Big Issue Transmitted
to the County
Board

The opinion of Dillon & Hubbard
that the transaction for the sale by the
county of $1,O5OOOO worth of good roads
bonds to Rollins & Sons is perfectly
legal was read at the meeting of the
board of supervisors by Deputy Dis
trlct Attorney Shaw yesterday. The
letter was accompanied by a statement
from Mr.. Shaw that it would be legal
for the highway commission to borrow
from the general fund enough money
to pay for preliminary work on the
good roads, such as the employment o.
engineers and the preparation of speci-
fications and plans.
AS it will be at least eight weeks be-
fore the money for the bond sale will
be received it is expected the board
will make a call on the general fund
in the near future

ANGELEN0S QUICK TO AID
STRICKEN ITALIANS
COMMITTEE SENDS $4,000 FOR
QUAKE VICTIMS
Solicitors Expect to Secure Enough to
Dispatch Second Sum of $4,000
to Italy Within Few
Days

By the generous outpouring of money
with which they have responded to
the appeal for aid for the earthquake
sufferers of Italy, it again has been
demonstrated that the people Of Los
Angeles are quick to Succor the I'M
fortunate wherever they may be stu
ated. In the few days they have been
out among the merchants soliciting
for the relief fund, Morris Orsatti and
Luigi DelPOrto have secured subscrip-
tons to the amount of more than $5OO0
This, added to the $500 raised at the
benefit performance given at the
Mason Sunday afternoon, brings the
total to $1,000.
Yesterday the relief committee sent
$4,000 Of this to Italy and in few days
they hope to be able to send another
$4,000
Several benefit performances will be
given as quickly as they can be ar
ranged and it confidently is expected
the returns from these will bring the
total to considerably more than $4,000
One of the committee expressed him
self as being very much gratified at
the generous aid given by the people
Of Los Angeles.
1.-THE result has been far in excess
of our expectations he said.

certainly gOdsend to wOmankind. I
tried cold creams, skin foods and va
rious advertised wrinkle removers, but
they all failed absolutely and l confess

had entirely vanished. When I looked
at my face on the following morning
and saw what wonderful transforma-

In speaking of her discovery, Miss
Meta says: Yes, 1 know it sounds
too good to be true, but really I do
not think removing wrinkles is half so
wonderful as the telephone. Before
the telephone was invented it appeared
ridiculous to think of talking from New
York to Chicago.
'Those who have used cold creams.
ETC., cannot understand how my treat
ment can act quickly. Yet, after all,
it is very simple, and I wonder that
some one did not discover the process
long ago. My letters from patients tell
the whole story. Here is one from a
lady who says my treatment made her
look twenty years younger, also letters
from many others. I do not see how

testimony as this. | tried cold creams,

NO NEED TO PREACH "HELL
FIRE" SAYS MINISTER

After all, we do not know much
about the future, and hell may be the
best place God can find for sinners, -
said Rev. T. w. Parsons, D. D., OF
Monrovia, who was the principal speak
er yesterday at the Baptist ministers
conference in Berean hall of the Tenn
pie auditorium
1--WE do not need to preach hell-fire,
for we can be more effectual by preach
ing that salvation is an escape from
SIM continued the speaker.
1.-THE church is not a Pullman car
into which we may enter and sleep our
way to heaven, but a lifeboat to be
n -nned by strong arms to rescue
wrecked humanity.
What is salvation? Men have said
in former times that it was an escape
from hell. There is a basis of fact for
such assertion in the Scripture lang
uage, and yet we cannot, we do not,
desire to preach that thought today

TRIES. HARD TO
TAKE Her LIFE
Separated from Husband and Out of
Funds, Mrs. Ida 3. Adams Seeks
to Kill Herself with
Knife

Despondent because her husband left
her, Mrs. Ida B. Adams, "a years old,
an misunderstanding woman, made an
attempt to end her life by hacking her
throat with a table knife in her room
at 1872 South Main street yesterday af-
ternoon.
The woman and her husband have
been living apart for more than a
month. He was employed in this city
as a conductor for the Los Angeles
Pacific railway. They had a quarrel
each accusing the other of intidelity,
and he went to San Francisco leaving
the woman to care for the two chill
dren, Irene, aged 8, and Ruskin, aged
10.
Mrs. Adams obtained employment
in a laundry and supported herself and
children. She was assisted by Miss
Amanda Adams of S45 South Hill
street, a, sister-in-law. A short time
ago Mrs. Adams became too i'll to work
and her funds gave out.
Yesterday, while in a respondent
mood, she decided to kill herself The
children were at school and she was
alone in her room. She jabbed at her
throat until she had inflicted a wound
three and a half inches long. She then

cess which has come to us demands
aggressive advance, and it must be
taken at once. Having strengthened
our curriculum and reinforced our fac
ulty, and having at present about all
the students we can care for adequate
ly with our present equipment, it is
now time to inform the public of our
needs. After two years of close per-
sonal contact with the situation I now,
with certainty and assurance, declare
that Occidental presents an Oppor-
tunity which merits a large investment
of time and money. There is not a
doubt about it's future, and all our
plans are of such Importance that the
trustees will invite fifty prominent
business and professional men of
Southern California to form an adj
visory committee. We are anxious
that the new plans for Occidental shall
have the most careful consideration,
and large and representative COM
mittee will insure this.
while, of course, the college campus
IS within the boundary lines of Los An
geles and at the present time is largely
supported by Los Angeles men, one Of
the encouragements has been the prac-
teal interest of friends in Pasadena,
Riverside, Pomona, Redlands, Santa
Ana, San Diego, Long Beach and many
other towns, but more especially in
Pasadena, which has already had a
generous part in our present endow-
ment. The present is so bright and
the progress so marked that from this
time we shall have no hesitancy in
seeking to enlist the interest of friends
everywhere, irrespective of denomina-
tional lines. Very naturally the Pres
byterians are and should be vitality
interested in Occidental because of its
foundation, but the most loyal Presby-
nrfo hof 1n fof
note. and it will never be sounded,
would be a sectarian note. Therefore
Occidental builds on a broad Christian
platform, Irrespective Of creed, and
knows no geographical or denomina-
tional limitations.
For "Chfistian" Education
1--WE now announce a campaign for
extension, and it is presented because
we believe more than ever in Christian
education, with proper emphasis on the
word CHRISTIAN. l very frankly say
that there would be no interest for me
in Occidental now or in the future if
it was not committed to stimulating
and conserving the religious life of
Southern California. This great en-
pire of ours is leaping in wealth and
population. Its success along those
lines is assured, but unless the young
men and women of the present day
who are to fight the battles of the fu-
ture are controlled by the fundamental
principles of the Christian religion and
imbued with the principles of pure liv
ing and good citizenship, this country
will not be successful in the best sense
of the word. Character building in con-
nection with a liberal education is Oc-
cidentaPs business, and Occidental has
students equal in quality to any in the
country and is increasingly becoming q
power for righteousness on the Pacific
coast.
''For these reasons we confidently ex-
pect that the loyal citizens of our com
monwealth will see to it that Occidental
is surrounded with an equipment and
given an endowment adequate for its
day and opportunity

CLERK ACCUSED OF
ROBBING EMPLOYER
Arrested on Return from Race Track
Prisoner Declines to Discuss
Charge Preferred Against
Him

Ernest Stowe, a clerk in the employ
ment of st. Pierre Bros, dealers in
furnishing goods and clothing at 413-15
South Spring street, was arrested late
yesterday afternoon as he stepped off
train from the Arcadia race track
by Detectives Murray and Mccain on
charges of petit larceny.
1t is alleged Stowe has been syste-
matically robbing his employers for
the last two months by carrying off
silk underwear, neckties, collars, cuffs,
shirts and other expensive goods and
selling them in order to gain money
with which to gamble at the race track.
After the detectives had placed him
in jail they searched his room in a
fashionable boarding house and recov-
cred several suit cases full of new
goods of expensive quality from which
the price marks had not yet been re-
moved. The recovered goods are val
ued at $500 and it is said Stowe has
sold goods valued at 5000 within the
last few weeks for less than half their
value.
While the prisoner was questioned at
length by the detectives he refused
to make any statement concerning the
charges against him.

Wednesday morning with the greatest
regret Owing to pressing engagement
President Hyde was unable to make a
formal tribute to his character at this
time, but at some later date will probab-
ly speak on his worth at chapel service.
Other members of the faculty when in
formed of his death spoke in fitting words
of how he was honored for his courage,
his patriotism, his brilliant service in the
war for the Union, his distinguished eff
forts in behalf of the freemen, and his
noble, Christian character. but we

special pride in him as an alumnus OF
Bowdoin college, an honored member OF

fellow alumni"
