PLAN LONG WALK TO
EXPLOIT SAN DIEGO
SOUTHERN PEDESTRIANS ON A
HIKE ACROSS COUNTRY
Literature Attracting Attention to the
Proposed Exposition in 1915
VIII Be Distributed
Enroute

The promoters of the Panama-Pacific
exposition which San Diego proposes to
hold in 1915 have hit on novel plan
to advertise their fair throughout the
eastern states. 1t is to have two young
men walk from San Diego to New
York city, selling badges and distribut-
ing literature along the way.
The two young men selected to make
the long hike are NJ. S. Mack and E. G..
Rump, both of San Diego. They left
the latter city Wednesday and arrived
in Los Angeles last evening, the first
stage of their journey completed. The
boys, in order to make their trip more
novel, are not taking any funds what
ever with them, having agreed to live
off the proceeds of the sale of San
Diego buttons.
They will, at stated intervals along
their route, be supplied with a fresh
consignment of buttons and literature
The management of the exposition will
keep in touch with them in this man
ner and be ready to render them as
sistance, should any be required.
The walkers do not expect to make
record trip across the continent, a
their work in advertising the eXposi-
ton will prevent their hurrying to any
great extent, yet they believe they can
make nearly as fast time as Weston or
any of the other veteran long distance
walkers.

POOR CAUSED TO SUFFER
BY LACK OF EMPLOYMENT
Settlement Worker Says Deserving
Men Are Idle in Los Angeles
Foreign District

Dana w. Bartlett, head of the work
of the Bethlehem Institutional churcn
on Vignes street, who is responsible
for the alienation of much suffering
among the poor in the foreign quarter
of Los Angeles, finds manv cases OF
poverty among his charges at present
caused by lack of work Mr. Bartlet'
said yesterday, speaking of this:
lone illustration is found in the case
of a Mexican carpenter who four
months ago came from Mexico with his
wife and five children. Although Will
ing to work, he has been able during
the past ten weeks to secure but SIX
DAYS work at any kind of employment.
Finding himself handicapped because
of the lack of knowledge of English, he
has turned to the Bethlehem night
school for help in that direction.
Meanwhile this man of good health
and character is forced to live with
his family in one small room for which
he pays SO per month. By living in this
way he is breaking the state law as
to overcrowding in tenements. but what
can he do unless he secures labor by
which he can support his family IN
better surroundings?
For this man and many others OPP
portunity to labor at fair wage is
worth more than any amount of char
ity, which may pauperize. If you have
work for men, call up Dana w. Bart
lett and he will pass on your request
to those who need.

CONSIDER MERGING
LONG BEACH BANKS
Surplus of $4,000 Represented by Two
nstitutions-Person of
Directors Not Definitely
Settled

LONG BEACH March 25.-It was re-
ported today, on what is considered
good authority, that the Exchange Ma
tional bank, now located at Third street
and Pine avenue, and the State bank
of Long Beach, which is located at
First street and Pine avenue, will be
merged shortly into one bank, and that
for the present the Exchange banks
location will be retained.
A fiVe-story building, it is said, may
be built later by the combined bank on
that corner. All details save the per-
sonnet of the board of directors and
list of officers, and in particular the Sc
lection of a president, are said TO have
been arranged.
Each of the sturdy banks has a paid
up capital stock of 100000, and the
combined surplus will be about $4,000.
A. j. Wallace of Los Angeles is presi-
dent of the Exchange bank and w. III.
Wallace is cashier. A. M. Goodhue Is
president of the State bank; T. A.
Stephens and J. P. Curtis are vice pres
idents, and w. j. Morrison is cashier.
In an interview tonight Mr.. Morrison
admitted the merger had meen talked
of, but declared it would not at present
be carried out along the lines drawn.
Other banking officials here differ with
Mr.. Morrison to a certain extent, and
say that while the consolidation may
not be made at once, it will undoubted-
ly come to pass later.

CHURCH MAKING
ROOM FOR BOYS
SUPERINTENDENT SHEPHERD
DISCUSSES MODERN WAY
MORE THAN scRIPTURAL TRAIN.
ING is NEEDED
Judge Curtis D. Wilbur Gives an Inter-
esting Account of Experiences
with Youths In Court, De-
Quoting Useful Moral

Boys are the worlds work." said r.
p. Shepherd, superintendent of the
teachers training department of the
Southern California Sunday School
association in an after-dinner address
to the Boys Bible class of the Y. M. G.
A. slast night. 1.-THE modern church is
making room for the boy, for he con-
stitutes the manhood of the future.
The business men of today think too
much of the development of their BUSH
ness and too little of the boy. If they
would put but half of the time and
labor into the making Of successful
men as they do into the making of a
successful business there would be bet
ter and greater men.
How many present have had hun
dreds of dollars spent on our training
for a profession and what man among
us has had a cent spent on training
him to become a good husband and
father? However successful a man
may become in his business or pro-
fessonal career, he has not reached
his highest attainment If he is an I'M
kind husband and a hard father in
his home. He has dedicated to the
next generation that which he cannot
undo.
Il remember the day when 1 was a
DOy,' continued Mr.. Snepneru, wien
they did not believe in the kids romp-
ing on the plush carpets of the church.
That day has passed. The church has
come to a realization that it's work is
in the boy as well as among the adult.
Mo Place for Boys
Last night L was in a pretty little
chapel in San Luis Obispo But there
was no place for the boy there. They
had not prepared a place for him where
he could feel at home and understand.
This brings to my mind that a boys
Bible class in the modern church is
not complete If it deals merely in the
memorizing of the Scripture. 1t must
teach them the plain homely truths of
life and the reward that right brings
over wrong"
Judge Curtis d. Wilbur presided at
the meeting and related his expert
ences with boys in the courts. He
said he had known but one Sunday
school boy who had ever been before
him charged with crime, and that he
was young fellow. whose religious
training had been left to the care of
a maiden aunt, well along in years.
1.-THE good woman had so crammed
this boy with the Scriptures that he
knew them by memory, but they APP
parently did him little good. The
practical side of his teaching had not
reached him." Rev. Mr. Goodman fol-
lowed Judge Wilbur with an address
and discussion on 1.-THE Problems in
Bible Study for Boys"

OF ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY
CorroboratiVe Testimony is offered

CHARGES QUAD
INFANT STOLEN
CATHERINE SMITH ARRESTED
ON CHILD-THEFT CHARGE
16-YEAR-OLD MOTHER OF BABY
MAKES COMPLAINT
Young Parent Declares She Was
Elected from Maternity Home
and Offspring Taken to Swell
Birth Record

Charged with child stealing in con-
nection with the Wilson bankruptcies,
over which a controversy arose some
time ago, Catherine B. Smith, who, 1t
is alleged, furnished the babies for the
hoax, was arrested yesterday and ar
raigned before Justice Summerfeld.
Her bail was fixed at $500, which she
supplied.
The complaining witness is Sadie
Engelmen, 16-year-old mother of boy
baby which was exhibited by Mrs.
Wilson as one of her "quads," and
which was named John Doe No. II
at a hearing of the matter held in the
superior court at the request of the
Humane society when it was learned
the bankruptcies were a sham.
A suit was filed in the superior court
a few months ago by Miss Anglemen
through her guardian, Rose Tarbak,
against Mrs. Smith, demanding $4,000
damages which 1t is alleged resulted
from treatment received at her home
while she was there in confinement.
1t is alleged after Miss Engiemen
gave birth to the child Mrs. Smith
grabbed it from her arms and told her
she could not have it, as she had found
a home for it among rich people. The
only purpose, it is alleged, why Mrs.
Smith had Miss Englemen come to her
home was to secure the baby she had
agreed to give to Mrs. Wilson as one
of her bankruptcies. Six days after
giving birth to the child, it is alleged,
Miss Englemen was elected from the
house and compelled to walk six blocks
before reaching the home of her moth
er, Mrs. F. G. Englemen, AL La
Fayette street.
The preliminary hearing of Mrs.
Smith was set for Monday at 10
~ en- Miss
Englemen may be taken, as she is in
precarious condition, and it is
thought she will have to undergo an
operation. The hearing of other testi-
mony will continue probably until Mrs.
Smith has time to engage counsel.
