DR.. Henriette E. Sweet as first vice
presidents, with equal power in the
conduct of the chapter; also Claudia
Hazen White, Mrs. Leland Norton, Mrs.
Amelia A. Gunten as vice presidents,
and Miss Jennie Van Allen, secretary
and treasurer
Mrs. Spaulding recently resigned her
position as president of the Los An
geles chapter, and at a meeting of the
board October II DR.. Sweet was unan-
imously appointed president to fill Mrs.
Spaulding's unexpired term.
An event of national Importance to
the American Woman's league was the
winning of the beautiful bungalow in
the Los Angeles Herald's voting con-
test. 1t is now known as the Los An
geleS chapter house. and the title is
vested in the name of the Los Angeles
chapter, to be held in perpetual trust
for the chapter. This was done by
the expressed wish of f. G. Lewis,
founder of the league who personally
gave $1100 at a critical period in the
contest, and to Mr.. Lewis generosity
and the splendid cooperation of the
Los Angeles members this chapter is
indebted for a chapter house worth
S5300, a piano worth 5000 (Mrs. Spauld-
ing having advanced $100 at the time
this was won), a $3.50 lot at Brawley
and a $100 diamond ring, making the
gratifying total of $6250, thus making
the Los Angeles chapter the largest
and richest in the United States.
The money advanced by Mr.. Lewis
and Mrs. Spaulding is regarded as
loan, and will be paid as soon as the
lot at Brawley and the diamond ring
are sold
The new chapter house has been the
scene of many delightful affairs dur
ing the summer, the most notable be-
ing the house warming on August 3,
and the flag raising day on September
II. The charming Saturday evenings
with music and other attractions are
now merged in the organization of a
remarkable array of classes under the
direction of a coterie of brilliant wom-
en- who gratuitously give their ser
vices to sunnlement the correspondence

.FOOTPADS MENACE
MAN WITH DEATH
Knife Flashed in Face of Victim
of Highwaymen in South
PriChard Street
POLICE HOPE FOR CAPTURE
Three Desperadoes Believed to
Be Same Ones Who Commit
ted Series of Crimes

While two men pinioned his arms
and a third f1ourished a knife in his
face, John Dunlap, 112 South Prichard
street, was robbed in the glare of an
arc light near his home early yester-
day morning. A quarter-karat
diamond was cut from his necktie,
watch and chain torn from his vest,
and a large wallet filled with cards
and papers, which the robbers evil
IDENTIFY believed contained money,
taken from him by the man who held
the knife Roughly throwing Dunlap
from them, the men curtly command
ed him to "move on" under penalty of
having his "windpipe slit" and as he
walked away they disappeared.
Dunlap, his clothes torn and disor-
dered, made his way to police head
quarters, where he reported the hold
up and gave an accurate description
of the robbers. Dunlaps description
has furnished the police with a clew
which they believe will enable them
to arrest the men. The tactics which
the men used in holding up Dunlap
cause the police to believe they are
guilty of similar robberies, although
not operating together.
Dunlap was returning to his home
after a visit with friends and had
reached the arc light when he heard
three men behind lin. Hating for a
moment to allow the men to pass,
he was seized on each side and his
arms and head were bent backward,
while the knee of one of the men who
held his arms was pressed against his
back. Bent almost double, with the
coat sleeve of one Of the men pressed
against his mouth, Dunlap was help
less in their grip. Deity the robber
welding the knife went through his
clothes with the skill of a profess
Sional.
AS the man finished Dunlap was
jerked upward and flung head fore
most from them almost falling to the
pavement Steadying himself, he was
about to look around when one of the
men commanded him to walk ahead.
Dunlap lost no time in getting away
from the robbers.

After the appointment of Pearl Adams
Spaulding as coast manager of the
American Woman's league the growth
of the league movement was phenom-
email, and under her brilliant adminis-
tration more work was accomplished
in five states than in the entire United
States. 1t was felt to an extraordinary
degree in this city, through the medium
of monthly federated meetings inaugu-
rated by Mrs. Spaulding, which re-
suited in the consolidation of two
powerful chapters, the Los Angeles
chapter and the E. G. Lewis chapter,
Mrs Ella K. Sprinkel, president of the
former and DR.. Henriette E. Sweet
president of the latter, on March 4, Mr..
Lewis birthday, under the name of the
Los Angeles chapter, with a member
ship of 500 and now numbering over
1S00 having over 1000 more members
than any other chapter in the United
States.
Mr.. Lewis suggested the election of
Mrs. Pearl Adams Spaulding as presi-
dent and Mrs. Ella K. Sprinkel and

The Los Angeles chapter has the
gent for the state of California, as
Claudia Hazen White, president of the
Los Angeles chapter, led the entire
United States in point of numerical
strength in votes cast for the i'm
portant Office which means state or
ganization. Mrs. White is peculiarly
qualified in training and temperament
for this high office. She has probably
organized more clubs and societies,
and assisted in procuring funds for
the building of a greater number of
churches, orphan asylums, hospitals
and colleges than any other woman in
this country and her versatility has
won for her the highest recognition
She has a keen. analytical mind, and
Los Angeles is proud to give to Cali
fornia so brilliant a woman to dis
charge the exacting requirements of
the state regency.
The first winter meeting of the Los
Angeles chapter house was held in
Symphony hall, Blanchard building,
Wednesday evening, November 2, at
s o'clock, with DR.. Henriette E. Sweet
in the chair. DR.. Sweet was recently
appointed president of the Los An
geles chapter by the executive board
to fill the uneXpired term of Pearl
Adams Spaulding, resigned. DIR. Sweet
is well loved in the Los Angeles chap
ter as well as in the northern part of
the state, where she has organized a
number of chapters. Her most con-
spicuous work for the Los Angeles
chapter was the organization of a ten
weeks class in body building, and she
has generously offered to repeat the
course this winter as soon as seventy
five members register at the chapter
house. DIR. Sweets class in body
building will be conducted at the
Sweet-Lowe Rest home, S311 Temple
street, one Of the most charming
homes in the country.

Professor Edgar F. Larlzin OF Mount
Lowe observatory delivered the prin-
cipal address of the evening, which
was a rare combination of wit and
the garnered wisdom of his fifty years
study of the stars. Professor Larkin
is a distinguished member of the
American Woman's league, and his
humorous account of his experience in
joining the league at the first national
convention held last June at Univer-
sity City was keenly enjoyed.
Professor Larkin invited the Los

Mrs. Ella K. Sprinkel, vice president
of the Los Angeles chapter, gave an
able talk on debentures and the con-
solidation of the Lewis publications
centering in the Womans National

the explanation was deemed essential,
but it is meeting with the gratified
approval of the members Of the Los

do more intelligent work for the
promotion of the county than the
real estate men, who have an inside
knowledge of lands and land values.
By an organized effort, backed by the
Board of Trade, the needed publicity
could be secured and attention at
tracted to these lands. Another thing
that is of great Importance right at
this time is the East Texas Industrial
Congress meeting in Tyler next
week, at which Anderson county is
asked to have a strong delegation.
The object of this meeting is to de-
wise ways and means of bringing peo-
pie to this section. The counties of
East Texas are trying to get to-
gether for a general campaign, fol-
lowing up the plan that has brought
such big success in the southern and
western parts of the state. There is
big work to be done along this line,
and our people should get busy, for
the great need of today is that our
idle lands be put to work.

APPEAL Of LAW
Democratic Nominee z. Brouehton
For Representative Says He Will
Fight to Continue r. r. Law.

Nominee q. Broughton, as demo
cratic candidate for representative in
the state legislature from this county,
was caller at the Herald office to-
day, and stated that in his opinion
the law known as the l. & G. N law,
compelling the payment of just debts
and running expenses of a railroad
before money is passed over to bond
holders, etc., is just law, and that
he shall, as representative, fight any
proposition made for its repeal. He
says he thinks the law is on the stat
ute books to stay; that it is a law
that has long been needed, and that
it is one of justice and equity.
Mr.. Broughton is well-posted as to
the l. G G. N. affairs, and knows the
necessity of some such measure to
fit cases such as the l. & G. N. case

oREENWooD's PRESENTATION.


1t is apparent that a great many
people in Texas are without intelli-
gent and reliable information regard
ing the measure enacted at the recent
Legislative session, commonly spoken
of as THE l. & G. N Claim Bill"
This lack of information is simply
due to the fact that as rule men
who are without personal interest in
the matter have not had inclination
nor been willing to take time to in
form themselves. These are busy
days in Texas. Our people are al
ways busy and engrossed in their own
immediate affairs, and this is not an
isolated instance of where measures
of prime moment receive only passing
notice at the hands of the masses.
And yet this l. & G. N. claims bill
has caused, it\would seem, a great
deal of discussion and excitement,
even alarm, in Texas, and in the East
at the financial capital of the con-
tinent, where Big Business holds
sway-it has been characterized as

ART OF USEFUL LIVING.

We, as strenuous workers, do not
give enough thought to the fine art of
comfortable living. In our ambition
for wealth and power, we too often
forget the higher and holier things of
life, unmindful of the fact that wealth
and power do not give us content
ment.
1t is our duty as citizens of the
commonwealth and members of So
ciety, to give attention to the prob
lens of good government and princi-
pies that purify and elevate indus
trial society. Contentment and hap
piness can come only when we have
done our duty as citizens and neigh
bors.
With view of getting more en-
joyment from the blessings we have,
it should be our chief desire to sur
round ourselves with good influences,
and cheerfully cooperate with every
organization and influence that make
people better. The humblest citizen
can render service for the good of
the commonwealth, and this should
be his highest ambition. There is
work for all, and the influence of all
is needed.
Every man should feel it his i'm
perative duty to take part in work
for the advancement of education,
for dissemination of the noble
thoughts and high ideas. No one can
live alone; we are a benefit or hin
derance to our neighbors. Which |
will you be?-Farm and Ranch.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The letter by Secretary Sterne of
the Board of Trade addressed to the
real estate men of Palestine and pub
lished in yesterdays Herald, was
along a very practical line, and should
receive the Endorsement of the real
estate men and members of the
Board. No people are in position to
