HE DIED IN THE HOSPITAL

Chicago. June 24.-Rudolph
Brendt, 14-year-old boy was killed
by the police here last night follow
ing an alleged attempt on his part
to initiate the "black hand" methods
and secure money by threatening let
tiers. He was shot just after he had
seized a package supposed to contain
$4,000 from his victim.
S. e. Grosfeldt. wealthy whole
sale grocer was the man who agreed
TO pay over the $4,000. He re-
ceived a threatening letter a week
ago >signed by the "black hand" In
which demand was made for the
money under the threat of death. A
dummy package was made up. and
though Grossfeldt was on hand and
detectives were nearby, no one APP
peared to claim il.
Threats by telephone followed
and last night the grocer was again
at the appointed place.
AS he approached the place the
boy stepped out of a doorway and
snatched the package and fled. De-
tective Weinrich, who was across the
street, fired two shots. One hit the
boy and he fell fatally wounded.
AS he lay on the sidewalk he tried
to shoot the detective. At the hos
pital he confessed before he died.

JOAN AT HARVARD
PLAY REPRODUCED
ON GIGANTIC SCALE.
Drama of Maid of Orleans Given With
Historic Perspective and is Well
Maintained.

Cambridge, Mass, June 24.-The
experiment of producing Schiller's
"Maid of Orleans" beneath starry
skies with close approach to the his
Itoric detail was carried out with con-
siderable success in the extensive
area OF the Harvard stadium, by Miss
Maude Adams aud company num-
bering about two thousand persons.
The performance was undertaken for
the benefit of the Germania museum
of Harvard, and the greater part OF
the working force of the Frohman
syndicate was actively engaged in the
production.
More than $4,000 persons, massed
tier on tier. saw the performance
The beauties OF Schiller's lines and
the magnitude of the plan Of repro
duction combined TO make the few
hours in the stadium a period of in
tense pleasure.
Perspective Is Maintained.
The historic perspective was skill
fully maintained throughout, from
the little pastoral scene in Johanna's
! fathers home with the flocks of liv-
ing sheep and actual trees of the
forest, to the splendor Of the French
court, the clash of the English and
French arms, the coronation pageant
and the death scene in the cathedral
The motley crowds of. serfs and
Wallets was made up of Harvard stu
dents. Men of the state militia
marched as archers and spearmen in
the French and English armies Horse
men from militia batteries clattered
into the arena in coats of mail of
nearly five centuries ago. while able
actors in armor tramped the green
sward and clashed in duels. Through
all the scenes threaded the slim figure
OF Miss Adams as the French maid,
first in homely peasants dress, then
in brilliant armor and seated on a
milk white charger. and finally in the
knightly costume, which at last be-
came her shroud.

DENIES CHRISTIANS ARE
TOLD TO SWALLOW POISON

LOS ANGELES, April 12.-[Editor
Herald: If C. T. Spreading, who writes
under late of April z, will take pains TO
examine the passage of Scripture he
quotes he will observe that the swal-
lowing of poison in order to satisfy the
curiosity of the incredulous is not re-
quired of Christ's followers. That was
not one of the things which Jesus said
shall be done, but he said elf" they
drink any deadly thing it shall not
harm them. Now, if we take Jesus ex-
ample as a pattern, we will not tempt
God by catering to the swine element
in human nature; but If the actual oc-
casion should arise through accident,
Gods power can and will be demon
strated over all the power of the enemy,
and nothing shall by any means harm"
them that believe.
The writer was instantaneously healed
of a severe attack of ptomaine poison
ing and realized the immediate return
of normal action and harmonious being
through the declaration of the ever
presence of divine life and love. Yet
sedulously avoids poison now. If Mr..
Sprading is to set himself up as q
judge of others, let him judge righteous
judgment and not exact from another
evidence of sincerity which he is not
willing to furnish himself, for his at
titude is a tacit denial of the posi-
bility of obeying the instructions of
Jesus or of meeting the test which he
states Christ left for u.s." to use his
own language. If he believes that and
claims to be his follower, then he should
prove his faith by works. r. N.

REVOLUTIONS DISARMED

H1-O more Central and South Ameri-
III can revolutions will be conduct
IN ed with secondhand American
weanons. 1t has been the cheerful
habit of periodical revolutionists in the
southern countries to wait until tney
read Uncle Sam had discarded par
ticular style of rifle for something
more efficient in the man-klling hne'
and instruct agents to purchase all the
secondhand stuff and send 1t on. AS
soon as it arrived revolution would
be begun.
Sometimes a country would be, as IL
were. in a state of suspended animation
for months. The political party that
wasn't on top would say to the political
party that was: "Ah, this is the gay
season for you fellows, but wait until
the good ship Mary Ann arrives!"
If the government failed to take
warning it would be startled into agli-
ity soon after the arrival of the Mary
Ann. for the despised minority woulo
be seen marching up the street armed
to the teeth and waving the rebel nag
which in a brief space of time and
after a little fiutter of excitement and
some shooting would be the govern
mental flag.
All that kind of fun must now cease
Ballots and not bullets hencefortf
must decide which party Is to De IN

trail American countries. Upon the
sale or expectation to foreign lands. es-
pecially Central and South American
republics, of weapons formerly owned

old gentleman has put his veto mark

central and southern countries cannot
get arms their presidential elections

GREATER LOS ANGELES

n position to Greater Los Angeles
plans is losing whatever hold 1t
" had-and that hold was chiefly on
the imagination of a few people. In the
light of reason, imaginary drawbacks
disappeared. The corporation press
agents who have done most of the anti
consolidation campaigning have dis
played paucity Of invention and a
lack of fertility Of resources. Even
when appealing to imagination they
have not worked UP good case. There
is nothing convincing in their assertion
the harbor cities would be injured by
consolidation. 1t is utterly unreason-
able.
In the development Of Los Angeles
the harbor Will play conspicuous part.
A big maritime commerce will be built
UP. This commerce will be of Inn
portance to the harbor and to Los An
geles; that is to say, 1t will AFFECT for
If better the interests of Greater Los
Angeles. But there is no reason to be-
lieve the growth Of Greater Los An
geles will be affected at the expense OF
any part of Greater Los Angeles, or
that the general prosperity of the whole
city will bring adversely to any part OF
1t. In fact, the absurdity Of the claims
of Observation-Disclosures is manifest as
soon as their case is stated.
Greater Los Angeles, with It's seaport,
San Pedro, will be one of the most i'm
portant cities in the United States.
Local interests will constantly be IN
creased. But there will be widening
Of the horizon and national interests
will have to be taken into considera-
ton.
In every step the consolidation COM
mittee desires to be guided by spirit
of absolute fairness. In the words OF
Mr.. Jess, in handling the consolidation
question, the motto will be "a square
deal" for all concerned.

S. P. C. A.

MUCH commendable work is done
N by the Society for the Proven
4i4 ton of Cruelty to Animals.
Sometimes it's officers are called on to
interfere in cases of cruelty which
would be almost unbelievable unless
there were abundant testimony. Think
of the condition of human nature that
in our lovely Los Angeles makes pos
sible such a scene as that described
by Officer thinner in the following
words:
Because the mules would not haul
the loads the teamsters pelted them
about the heads and bodies with rocks
which weighed as much as five pounds.
In one instance one of the Transfers
mounted mule and beat the animal
about the head until the beast was
ready to drop. Another teamster struck
a mule with tine sharp point of a pick
until the animal bled from several
wounds" etc.
This kind of brutality Immediately
reduces the men guilty of 1t to a con-
dition inferior to that of the beasts
they are tormenting and degrades the
human race.

DEADLY CROSSINGS

II EVEL crossings are suffered to re-
main in cities only because the
IA people have not taken a decided
stand with regard to them. A great
deal more fuss has been made from
time to time about nuisances that are
not as dangerous to the public. To
maintain grade crossings in a big city
which is constantly growing bigger is
to maintain a trap for men, women
and children.
Just as surely as there are level
crossings there will be level crossing
accidents. That has been the expert
ence of every community and of every
country, and that is the reason why
grade crossings have been forbidden
in many communities and in many
countries. If human life is worth car
ing for, then such an obvious menace
to human life as a grade crossing
should be done away with and the rail-
road track should be elevated over the
street or the street should be bridged
over the railroad track.

NATIVE SONS

m HAT patriotic organization, the
members of which with just pride
II call themselves Native Sons of
the Golden West" is always a factor
to be reckoned with in the life of this
state. 1t emphasizes the fact that only
a proportion of the population of Cali
fornia can claim the distinction of hav-
ing been born in California, but it is
an advantage to be born In California.
and "new chums" might as we'll
acknowledge it gracefully.
Owing to the short-sightedness of
their parents, they were not allowed
to be born in California, so, after they
could travel alone and pay their way,
they came here. The Native Sons are
always glad to welcome newcomers;
and it is to the interest of newcomers
to encourage the California spirit rep
resented by this organization.
Societies like Native Sons" "Daugh-
tiers of the Revolution" and "Sons of
the Revolution" are helpful and their
influence on the community and on
the nation is always good.
