Ocean with Flowers for
Sailor Dead

REDONDO BEACH, May 30.-Sev-
eral thousand people were present at
the memorial services held here today
by the G. A. r. at which General o. H.
La Grange delivered the address. The
buildings on the water front were a
solid mass of red, white and blue, with
a national flag at half mast on every
flag pole.
The exercises in the auditorium were
presided over by Ex-Governor H. H.
Markham, who introduced General La
Grange.
The speaker said in part: "This ma
ton was founded on the faith of the
fathers IN the wisdom and goodness of
Almighty God That faith has never
failed this people and it always has
been rewarded.
1T is wise and we'll to celebrate this
anniversary in churches with religious
ceremonies. Forgiveness and brother
hood had their origin in religious SEN
timent and next to religion, patriotism
is the highest and hottest sentiment of
mankind.
rive meet today to honor the mem
ory of those who died that the nation
might live and of those who in our
latest war maintained the honor of the
flag on Foreign soil, From their high
example we may gather inspiration to
make our actions worthy of men to
WnOm II was given III the past 10 nOlu
companionship with the illustrious
dead.
Flowers Typical of Life
"These flowers that will fade tomor-
row are typical of our own briet
lives, but as the flowers rise from their
winter graves in beauty each succeed
ing year SO the memory of our depart
ed brothers, like themselves immortal,
shall quicken patriotism in the hearts
of each succeeding generation through
all coming time
"And, comrades" continued the
speaker, "now and hereafter when we
meet on Memorial day let us pledge
each other and our silent ones once
more by the baptism of that which has
made us brothers by the communion of
blood that has cemented our eternal
fellowship to cherish and maintain for
ever the principles of those who fell
| forward into the burrows of the fight
and lay with smiles upon their calm
dead faces, because their feet were in
the path of duty and their eyes were
| fixed upon the right"
| Afterward the large congregation
adjourned to the end of the wharf,
where the impressive ceremony of
placing flowers on the surface of the
ocean for the sailor dead took place.
| To the notes of taps" the nosegays
were carried to sea by the tide, all of
| the large assembly were silent and
tears stood in the eyes of the old vet
Grams who witnessed the~. ceremony.
without any command or announce
ment the crowd dispersed in knots of
two and three and made their way
homeward thoroughly impressed with
the sentiment Of the occasion.

breaches FIRST
SERMON IN CITY
Occupies Pulpit at First Methodist
Church and Speaks on Spiritual
Side of Christian
Religion

Bishop E. H. Hughes, the Methodist
bishop of California who was appointed
at the last general conference to sue
coed Bishop John w. Hamilton,
preached his first sermon in Los An
geles yesterday morning to congre-
cation that occupied the entire seating
capacity of the First Methodist church.
Many people were turned away.
In token of Memorial day a large
standing sheaf of wheat was placed
on the platform, surmounted with
beautiful flowers.
Bishop Hughes, who is making his
first official visit to Los Angeles, spoke
eloquently on the spiritual side of the
Christian religion. The bishop said in
part:
In the calendar of the church this
is Whitsunday and in the calendar of
the nation it is Memorial day.
1T may impress you as being irrev-
erent to speak of men and women as
like the Holy Spirit. Take this from
your mind, for the person of the Holy
Spirit is co-existent and co-equal. We
say of a man that he is a Christ-like
man, but did you ever hear it said of
a Christian that he was Holy Spirit
like man? If it is not irreverent to
say that a man is God-like or Christ
like, why is it irreverent to say Holy
Spirit-like?
Christ's Birth Is Sad Event
1--WE will gather next Christmas as
we always do. But the birth of that
Babe of Bethlehem is the saddest thing
with which we have to deal. You can
get poetical about it, but it is one of
| the saddest things history recounts
| Christ said the foxes have holes, the
birds of the air have nests, but the
Son of Man hath not where to lay his
head
At the close of his sermon Bishop
Hughes made a plea for funds to help
| in rebuilding the Methodist churches OF
| San Francisco that were destroyed
| during the earthquake and fire. Among
those who are returning to the north
ern metropolis it is said that large
number are Professionals, and with a
wide field to work in the Methodist de-
nomination is greatly hindered by the
| lack of proper church facilities. In one
or two instances the churches as well
as the homes of members were de-
stroyed, and, while the congregations
have kept together, it has been i'm
possible to rebuild the churches be-
cause of lack of outside assistance.
It is said that Bishop Hughes is fac
ing one of the most difficult problems
in the history of the church. He Is
| soliciting aid far and near to assist II
| rebuildinP these churches.

TAX COLLECTIONS SHOW WELL FUR CITY
ALMOST ENTIRE ROLL IS CLEAR ED WITHOUT SHOWING ANY DELINQUENCY.

DOUGLAS, Dec. -(S(pecial)-
 It is doubtful if any city anywhere can show a better record for tax col. lections than that which has been made in Douglas this fiscal year.
 The amount outstanding Is very small but yesterdays receipts reduced the amount even more than was expected, and 1t might be said that the entire roll is cleared up without becoming delinquent.
 Yesterday there was received in the office of City Marshal East s3.11s15 in payment of taxes which would have become delinquent today. This brought the total amount collect ed for the fiscal year up to a total of sz4.92S.2I and leaves outstanding s1,055.89. But this amount includes all exemptions. All of tEe churches and church property are included, as are the exemptions for widows and others whom the law relieves of taxes. Just how much this is the city Marshal was not able to defin- itely state without going through his entire roll. but he was able to say that the amount over and above these exemptions was inconsiderable and the showing for the year is the best that Douglas has ever known.

BALL MAGAATES
 HOLD BOARDS
Have Stubborn Contest Over Several Points Pertaining to Business of the Big Ones


 NEW YOR--11, Dec. 15-Major league baseball owners and patrons will be particularly interested In the meet ings of the two big organizations. which Will hold the board here dur ing the remainder of this week. The magnates of the National leagne went into session behind closed doors at the Waldorf-Astoria shortly before noon today. The meeting opened with the avowed conviction on the part of all concerned that some exciting dis cussions would occur before the ses- sion closed.
 The election of a president of the league is the most important business of the meeting. For weeks past the baseball atmosphere has been tinged with war talk and much has been heard of the fight to prevent the re- tention of Johnny Heydler in the presidency John NJ. Ward, the for mer manager of the Giants; Joseph D. O'Brien. head of the American as sociation; James A. Hart, former head of the Chicago club, and sew eral others have been mentioned as probable successors to HeydIer. To day. however. it looked as if Messrs. Murphy of Chicago and Ebbitts of Brooklyn were destined to fail in their efforts to oust Eeydler and that the latter undoubtedly would be re- tained as head of the organization. Several other matters in addition to the election of president are like ly to make things lively at the meet ing. Among these are the alleged plans of Murphy and Brush to make the National league a syndicate" by taking over the Philadelphia club, the effort of Garry Hermann, of Gin cinnati, to cut short the league sched- ule and provide for a series of inter- league games at the conclusion of the National and American leagues play ] ing schedules.
 In comparison with the National league session the meeting of the American league tomorrow promises to be an exceedingly harmonious af- fair. The meeting will be devoted to winding up the affairs of the past sea son and to an informal discussion of the schedule and other plans for next year. When the two leagues have finished their business the magnates will come togeter in joint session to consider the adyisability of changing the 154-game arrangement On this subject wide variety of opinion ex- ists, President Johnson and other leaders of the American league be

PAGE DESIRES
 TORE GOVERNOR
Graham County Man, Father of Local Option Bill Is Groomed by Friends

George Crosby's Paper, published at Thatcher, Graham county. has pro posed the name of Hon. w. W. Pace. of that place, as a candidate for gov ernor and the proposition has the en- dorsement of the Globe Silver Belt. MT. Pace is one of the prominent citi- zens of Graham county and has sev- erai times represented that county in the legislature. In the race for gov ernor, for the democratic nomination, he would probably receive the vote of his county in the primary election. In the last legislature Mr. Pace gain ed prominence as the father of the Pace focal option bill for which he worked determinedly and succeeded in passing. The Pace bill provides for a majority basis for local option elections instead of the two-thirds basis as before After the passage of the Pace bill what was known as the segregation local option bill was passed. this giving to incorporated cities the right to vote separately on the question of prohibition.
 While Graham County seems to be first in the field with a candidate for governor there will be others. In the adjoining county of Gila is prom inent citizen who has been regarded as probable candidate for govern or-Hon. George ". P. Hunt; in Pinal county lives the Hon. Thomas Weed in, regarded as a probable aspirant for governor of the new state of Ari- zona.
 Cochise county has several gentle men who would fit in nicely as candi- dates for governor on the democratic ticket Hon. B. A. Packard, of this city, has been one of the pillars of the democratic party for thirty years in Arizona He has served his coun- ty and territory in many public posi- tiens and has an acquaintance and popularity which reaches every sec tion of Arizona. Hon Ben Goodrich,
  of Tombstone, is another stick of gubernatorial timber which should not be overlooked.
 Many other counties will no doubt have favorite sons to propose as the first governor of Arizona and there is hardly county which could not propose worthy candidate for both parties.
 When the time comes for the vari- ous political parties to chose candi- dates for governor and other state of fices the matter win be put up to the direct primary election and the peo- pie will be allowed to decide for themselves who shall be the eandi- i dates.

BLANKETS TAKE FIRE
 IN DRY GOODS STORE
DEPARTMENT STOPS BLAZE, BUT
 DAMAGE DONE AMOUNTS TO SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS

DOUGLAS. Dec. 15-(S(peciaI.) I.) = One long and two short blasts call ed the department to the corner of G avenue and 9th street this morning The alarm was sounded from the store of Levy brothers. where blaze had been discovered in a pile of bIan- kets and other goods in the rear of the store, but it was extinguished without the necessity of the engine turning stream into the building. As it was the loss Is slight compared to what it might have been, though the proprietors of the Red Star store state that 1t will probably run up to between three and four hundred dol lars. They have not yet figured up their losses from fire and water on the damaged goods.
 When the alarm was sounded one of the firemen was working on the engine and had a wheel off, greasing the hub. Another of the department had the horses out back grooming them, but notwithstanding this the system of the department worked like a we'll oiled machine and less than two minutes was lost because of the conditions which existed when the alarm sounded, an excellent record for the department.
 It is understood that the loss is fully covered by insurance. The on- ly mage to the building was the b lg out of window and a lit tl the rear wall.

 Bricklayers began the work of erecting the walls for the new Doug las high school building this morn ing For several days the material for the walls has been coming to the building site. The brick to be used in the walls are the white pressed variety and come from Fl Paso. The common brick for the inner side of the walls are of home manufacture.
 All the foundations for the build. ing have been completed including excavations for the basement A vast amount of material of every kind has been brought to the school lot, be- tween Twelfth and Thirteenth street, including lathing, lumber, mortar material, etc. So far the progress made by Contractor Riley has been quite satisfactory and it is expected that the building will be completed within the contract limit which calls for completion during next spring.
 The main entrance to the building will be on Twelfth street and this will be through a large patio which Is to be planted with flowers, ever greens and lawn. The building will he two stories high and of handsome design.

When the build ing is completed this matter no doubt will be taken up for consideration. It has been proposed that the city join the high school district in beautifying the grounds around the high school building and this proposition has met with general approval.
 When this building is completed Douglas will have one of the finest high school buildings in the territory. Besides this magnificent building the city has six other good school build ings. sufficient to accommodate all the children in the district.

FLORIDA ORANGE GROWERS
 SEEK INCREASE PROFITS
Fruit and Vegetable Shippers Demand Even More Advantage Than at Present from Location 5000 Miles Nearer
 interior Markets Than California

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-Fiorida orange growers. not satisfied with profits which have been making them rich during recent years. are gunning for more. Their case, wnfcn might be called that of the Florida Orange against the California Orange. is due for decision soon. for Judge ProuIy for khe Interstate Commerce Comm g. sion on December 20 at Jacksonville begins the hearing of the complaints of Florida growers. who have forced a showdown on the freight rates to interior cities. They are some 5000 miles nearer to those interior mar kets than california and are seeking to secure even more advantage than at present from their location.
 The Florida Fruit and Vegetable Shippers Protective Association has appealed to the Interstate Commerce Commission not only for the orange. but also for the grapefruit, which is not grown in duantitv in California, but which sslas achieved gISat promin- ence in recent years among FiS.rida fruits. and for the Florida pineappSc as against the Cuban pineapple. The association has set out to clean up
