DEED Is INEXCUSABLE,
SAYS REV. C. w. BUGBEE

At St Paul's pro-cathedral the Rev.
c. w. Bugbee preached in the absence
of the Rev. William MacCormack, dean
and rector, who is in the east attend
ing the general convention of the
church. The Rev. Mr.. Bugbee spoke
at length upon the calamity and said
in part:
1--WE have all been shocked by the
terrible disaster of Saturday morning.
Perhaps-let us hope it was an acci-
dent. But it seems that it was the
work of certain foolish or desperate
men. In all probability this happen
ing, If Intentional, was perpetlated or
instigated not by the large body of
splendid and honest labor, but by men
who are misrepresenting it or by some
misguided men whose minds have been
perverted and infiamed by them and
who, thinking to do some glorious deed
or smarting under sense of injustice
have committed this heinous offense
against society in which score of in
nocent men have lost their lives.
THE deed is inexcusable and das-
tardly one and is to be utterly con-
demned.
Jesus Christ was not the friend of
the laboring man alone. He was not
the friend of the rich alone. He was
the friend of men as men. Whether
lle IdulL De III unlCl ldUor or UNION
capital in desperate villain or mis-
guided enthusiast, the church, like her
Master, is to come with the cleaving
sword of eternal righteousness and say,
at the risk of making enemies and of
being the recipient of criticism-'this
action or that policy is devilish evil
and is to be utterly condemned-but
men, laboring men and moneyed men,
for after all ye are all Gods children,
and all precious in His sight, this is
the way, walk we in it.

ber /, 1910, there occurred a terrible
explosion in the building of the Los
Angeles Times, causing the death of
a number of the employees of said
newspaper and inflicting serious per-
sonal injuries on others, as well as
great financial loss to the owner of
said property; and
Whereas, all right-thinking people
deplore this great catastrophe and
heartily sympathize with the bereaved,
as well as those who suffered said
financial loss: and
Whereas, it has been suggested
that the explosion was caused by one
or more evilminded persons; therefore,
be it
Resolved by the congregation of
Trinity M. e. church, South, that we
extend to the bereaved relatives and
friends of the dead and the sorrowing
friends and relatives of the injured,
our profound sympathy and pray that
the blessings of God may assuage
their grief in this dark hour;
Resolved, second, that we de-
nounce this criminal deed, If done by
design, as unspeakably evil and das-
tardly, and the cause of justice de-
mands that those responsible for such
crime, if such, should be discov
cred at any expense of time and
money and made to pay the penalty
of so grave a crime against life and
property;
Resolved, further, that these reso-
lutions be spread upon the records of
this church and a copy furnished to
the press for publication
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-03

By a unanimous vote the Los An
geles Fellowship in Blanchard hall
yesterday morning passed the follow
ing resolution:
''Resolved, That the Los Angeles
Fellowship expresses it's heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved sufferers
from the disaster of Saturday morn
ing; that we condemn the dastardly
act of incendiarism and murder and
that we extend to the Times our deep
sympathy in it's misfortune"
The resolution was offered by Henry
Harrison, vice president of the Fell
lowship board of trustees and sec
onded by David A. Harrison.
Reynold e. Blight, the minister of
the Fellowship, in a vigorous prelude
that was warmly applauded by the
large audience that filled Blanchard
hall, condemned the outrage in out
spoken terms.
1.-THE Fellowship stands unswerv
ngly against all violence and hatred"
he declared. "Violence and outrage
bring about their own defeat, and a
cause is never helped forward by
crime, incendiarism and assassination
No matter what attitude a citizen
may take toward the Times as an in
stitution, he must as good citizen
unsparingly condemn the diabolical
outrage of Saturday morning. AS
good citizens, let us fight for the cause
of civic righteousness as we see it,
but let us fight fair, and dynamite
and murder are always indefensible.
"At this time all good citizens are
under obligation to do four things:
First, to refrain from hasty judgment
Let us know the facts and discover
the perpetrators of the crime. Until
the evidence is forthcoming we must
withhold condemnation of any man or
st of men. Second, we must maintain
q calm, cool, sober spirit, and frown
down any attempt to stir up passion
or prejudice. Third, we must spare no
effort or pains to locate the guilty
persons and bring them to justice.
Fourth, we must continue the cam
paign of education until all men shall
learn that the cause OF brotherhood
and civilization is not helped forward
by hatred and violent agitation Only
brotherly kindness and love will bring
about the reign of brotherhood and
fraternity"
TRINITY CHURCH TAKES ACTION
The following resolution was pre-
sented to the congregation of Trinity
M. e. church, South. on yesterday and
was unanimously adopted:

managed today That city in its moral
corruption and lawless methods has
been and is a disgrace to the Pacific
coast and the whole country. 1t
makes no difference how many people
may have disagreed with the morn
ing Times in its views on various
questions. all fair-minded people will
unite in the most emphatic and posi-
tive manner in condemning this crime
as the act of a constituencies villain,
who, if discovered, deserves no mercy
at the hands of either God or man.
Everything known to human ingenuity
should be done to discover the authors
of this foul deed and punishment
meted out to them so swiftly and
surely that it will be a warning to all
other villains against the repetition of
such an act"

NO ARRANG GEMENTS MADE
FOR VICTIMS FUNERAL
Plans for 0bsequies of Elder and
Reeves Incomplete

A pitiful anxiety surrounds the
funerals of the victims of the great
holocaust of the early hours of Sat
urday morning, caused by the un-
certainty of when the bodies yet re-
naming In the debris will be found,
If they are ever found, and the al
most utter impossibility of identify
ing those who have been taken from
the ruins.
The body of Churchill Harvey Elder
was removed from the Clara Barton
hospital, where he died a few hours
after receiving his injuries, and is
now at the morgue of Bresee Bros,
while the body of Wesley Reeves,
which was the first one taken from
the ruins. is at the parlors of the
Boyle Heights Undertaking company,
awaiting the verdict of the coroner
before definite arrangements for the
funeral can be made.
Identification of the bodies is thought
impossible in a number of cases and
in all probability one funeral service
will be held for the unidentified dead,
the time and place not having been
decided. If this plan Is carried out
the men who met their death together
will be buried in one grave, and one
monument bearing the name of each
will be erected.
NO ueIlIllle arrangements can De
completed while the uncertainty re-
mains regarding the bodies yet in the
ruins. AS each body or portion of
what was once a human being is
found 1t is removed to the Bresee
morgue awaiting the final plans for
caring for the dead.
Separate funeral services will be
held over the bodies of Elder and
Reeves. 1t was stated last night by
the mother of the former at Whittier
that arrangements would be completed
today, and it Is also expected that ar
rangements for the funeral for Mr..
Reeves will also be arranged today.
A memorial service has been ar
ranged for Mr.. Reeves by the Ep-
worth League Of the Boyle Heights
Methodist church, of which he served
as president last year. This service
will be held next Sunday evening in
the Boyle Heights church.

SYMPATHY OF CONGREGATION
EXTENDED TO THE FAMILIES
Impressive Scenes During Ser
vices in Christ Church

One of the most impressive scenes
was that in Christ Episcopal church
yesterday morning when, after pass
ing resolutions of sympathy, the vast
congregation that filed every part OF
the church remained standing with
bowed heads while the Rev. Baker p.
Lee. the rector, offered a special
prayer, using the words of the cru
Gifted Christ, Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do.
The resolutions, which were adopted
with a rising vote which was unani-
nous, extended to the Times the sym
pathy and fraternal affection of the
congregation in it's hour of bereave-
ment and voiced the stand of the con-
gregation for law and order as against
anarchy and arson. The congregation
extended it's cooperation for freedom
and Christian work to the Times and
to the press of the city, the resolutions
being signed by the Rev. Baker P. Lee
the rector; George w. Parsons, war
den; c. A. Rockwell. treasurer, and
Ben Williams, vestryman.
The Rev. Cassius M. Carter, who has
but recently assumed the pastorate OF
the First Baptist church, spoke of the
disaster yesterday morning in grave
accents, alluding to the well-knoWn
name of the city abroad and the blight
that would result from the widespread
reports of the disaster.
Los Angeles is known around the
world" said DR.. Carter, land we must
all bear the disgrace. But every man,
woman and child should hold the lin
gering hope that it was an accident.
1t shows that Christianity is not til
umphant In our country, and it should
teach our churches to be more vigil
liant in the spread of the gospel. In
this day of sadness our sympathy goes
out to the bereaved ones and those
suffering in the hospitals and their
homes"

REEVES ONCE ACTIVE IN
EPWORTH LEAGUE WORK
Victim Found First Was Formerly
in Church Organization

At the Boyle Heights Methodist
church sorrow was manifest in the
large congregations at both services.
Wesley Reeves, whose body was the
first taken from the ruins and the only
one positively identified, was one of
the prominent members of the church
and last year acted as president of
the Epworth league.
In the absence of DIR. w. E. Tilroe,
the pastor, who is attending confer
ence at Fresno, the Rev. w. P. Smith
preached yesterday, and in alluding to
the catastrophe he said, IF the prince
of demons were turned loose, he could
conceive of no more dastardly crime. "
Last evening the Rev. L. g. Reynolds
spoke particularly of the sad death
of Mr.. Reeves, saying that he was
known and loved in all the church
work, and that he was one of the
most enthusiastic Christians in the
entire church membership.
At the meeting of the Epworth
league last evening the sorrow of the
members was particularly noticeable,
and a memorial service is being ar
ranged by the league to be held in the
church next Sunday evening.
In his sermon and prayer last night
at Temple Baptist church DR.. j. Whit
comb Brougher referred to the de-
struction of the Times building and
the terrible tragedy in the loss of life.
He expressed profound sympathy for
the owners of the paper, and especially
for the grief-stricken families of those
who had lost their lives. He also
prayed that God might give special
keenness to those who had the re-
sponsibility of discovering the mis-
creants and bringing them to justice.
Among other things he said
Our city today is under the shadow
of a terrible tragedy. The destruction
of the Times building, entailing ter
rible loss of life, is a calamity that
should arouse every law-abiding, lib
erty-loving citizen. 1t makes no diff
ference how much we may disagree
with one another in our commercial
political or religious views, there
should be no place among civilized,
not to say Christian people, for jeal-
ousy, hatred, envy, spite and murder.
If it is proved that union labor had
to do with the awful destruc-
tion of property and life last Friday
night. then shall be profoundly sorry
for the cause of organized labor. 1t
will have received blow from which
it will never recover In this city. One
thing is absolutely certain, the people
of Los Angeles and ultimately the
people OF this country will not stand
for the lawless, anarchistic methods of
Russia and some European countries
The citizens of Los Angeles do not
propose that this city shall be run on
the same basis that San Francisco Is

According to Crabill, many of the

the bottom of the shaft when L struck.
MY theory is that many were caught
trying to get out by returning to the
upper floor expecting to gain exit
through the main entrance. l know
they did not have time to escape that
way.
"As to the disaster being caused by
a gas explosion" concluded Crabill,

ITALY AGREES TO PAY
SUCCESSFUL GAMBLERS

ROME, Oct. 2-The italian govern
ment has decided to crafty to the full
the Neapolitan gamblers who raised a
riot last week over the suspended pay
ment of their winnings, a sum of ST.
100000 being distributed. The govern
ment was not obliged to pay more than
$1,2O0,000.
The state revenue derived from the
lotteries averages $4,000, 900 per annum.
From past experience the ministry feels
sure that the full payment will prove
a profitable advertisement, and will
probably double the number of specu-
lators during the next few weeks. AS
a matter of fact about three-quarters
of the population Of Naples alone,
which now numbers more than a mill

made
Miss Lucille May FRANKIE, chairman
Of the educational committee, report
ed that the committee, ac hing in con-

The uniform dress prop Osed consists
of a blouse skirt and blCsOmers, TO be
