LIBERTY
IS PLEA
DR.. c. J. HExAMER SAYS THAT
MAN HAS RIGHT TO DRINK
ALL HE WANTS.

Cincinnati. Oct. 3.-The right to
drink as much wine and beer as man
wants was declared an attribute of
human liberty today by DR.. c. J. Hex
amer. president of the National Ger
nan alliance, In opening the conven-
ton of the alliance here.
The divine right of each man to
pursue his own good in his own way
he declared, should not be sacrificed
to the fears and the fanaticism of those
who regard or pretend to regard drink
as crime. We German Americans
never have allowed our love of food
or drink to degenerate into intemper-
ance or tn interfere with the good of
the community The strongest plea
that can be put forward for the mildest
form of prohibtion-lnc option is
that ii enables II fanatical majority to
lord il over n liberal minded people
Let us hope that. the spirit of liberty
and American fair play will soon cause
a reaction against the movement of
fanaticism that is now spreading over
our land"
Governor Judson Harmon welcomed
the delegates. ..-

has received replies
from eight Of the cities, which show
wide range in charges. The First

On account OF the proposition made to
increase the license in Missoula to
$3.50 year. Mr. Kohn desired To as
certain what other towns are doing;
the figures which he received from the
city treasurers are interesting Ana

lowest saloon license in the state, 5000

MARKET is DEPRESSED.

Berlin. Oct. 3.-The reichsbank re-
turn issued yesterday has caused an
unfavorable impression on the market.
notwithstanding a big drop in the pri-
vate discount. The total outgo. 661,-
100000 marks, registers the heaviest
depression the reichsaank has ever
undergone in one week. The dimen-
sions of the outward movement have
astonished financial observers.
The principal explanation for this
condition is the big speculative wave
which struck Germany in the summer
The imperial treasury also was partly
responsible. since it now owes the bank
.343.0 900, 900 marks.

Board of Directors VIII Report on
Doctrines of DR.. Thomas r.
Day at Next Years
Session

SAN JOSE, Cal, Oct. 22-Almost the
entire session of the Presbyterian syn
cd of California today was taken up
with the discussion of a report sub
mitted by the committee to attend the
illogical examinations which contained
charges against the teaching of Dr.
Thomas f. Day of the San Francisco
theological seminary.
Dr. Day is accused of departing from
the tenets of the church in his inter-
probation of certain parts of the Old
Testament In the afternoon, he took
the platform in his own defense. He
denied that he taught anything con-
trary to the creeds of the Presbyterian
church. He was supported by Dr.
Robert Mckenzie, president of the
seminary, and by a large number of
his former students.
At the close Of the discussion, reso-
luton against the future teaching of
DR.. Days ideas in the seminary was
referred to the board of directors of
the synod, which will report at the
meeting of the synod next year.

Chicago Woman Confident Her Brother
Is the Man Who Is Supposed
to Have Led the
Expedition
tBy Associated Press.l

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Mlss Bertha
Dougherty, a Chicago school teacher
who read today of the family lost and
believed to be perishing in the Califor-
mia desert, declared she believed the
Inflated sufferers were her brother
Jay Dougherty of Santee, Cal his
wife, Cora. and their three children
Lois, TO-. Robert, 6, and Elizabeth, s
years old.
Miss Dougherty said her brother and
his family left a ranch at Santee about
a month ago to cross the desert by
caravan to reach the Yuma reserva-
ton, where he intended to register for
lands to be allotted by the govern
ment.
when I read today of the disappear
ance of a man and a woman and three
children in the California DESERT" said
Miss Dougherty, 81 thought immedi-
ately that my brothers family were
the victims. Mr.. Dougherty wrote to
me about a month ago saying he was
dissatisfied with affairs on his ranch,
which was seven miles from Santee
and twenty-five miles from San Diego
He said he and Cora and the chill
dren were about to start by caravan
for the Yuma land, where he thought
he could find better prospects. Since
then nothing has been heard from
them.
Another brother, George Dougher
ty, was living at Pasadena. I heard
from him the same news that Jay and
his family had left to cross the des-
ert. Jay did not tell me in so many
words that he was going to cross the
desert, but in order to get to Yuma by
caravan he would be compelled to do so.
my brother had lived on the ranch
near Santee for about two years. He
was an associate of Peter Dorendecker
of San Diego, with whom 1 am trying
to communicate to learn more of the
circum stances concerning my broth
er's departure from Santee. The de-
scription of the last family fits per-
fectly that of my brothers, and be-
cause it has been so long since any
thing from them has been learned, I
feel almost certain that they are lost"
