WRITES ON SUNDAY CLOSING

Editor Herald: The writer OF the
editorial, CLOSING the Postoffice Sun
day." appearing in The Herald De-
cember IS. has not read or has totally
forgotten, IL he is a constant reader
of The Herald. the letter which ap-
peared in the p. L. 3. of The Herald
on Sunday, April 4, entitled: sabbath
Dav of Rest Is of Human Origination."
The general point of that letter is:
THAT by the Asiatic nations the peo-
pie do not pay taxes in coins, at in
labor; that after working for five or
six days for the government the fol-
lowing day they have for their own
use. The harvesters get sixth or a
seventh part of what thew harvest as
payment"
Perhaps that habit was also in use
by the Egyptians and let Moses give to
the Creator a day Of rest after he had
worked six days to create the world.
According to James Clarck, writer of
the "Ten Great Religions" the Egyp-
tians had so many gods and demigods
and that to every one of these one day
of the year was sanctified, so that the
whole year was one holiday. Perhaps
that was what -oses gave to the peo-
pie of Israel for losing so many holi-
days, the seventh day as a day of
total rest for themselves, their work
ingmen and cattle.
But the Lord admonished the ruler
of the synagogue when he said that
he, the Lord, transeressed the law by
healing on the Sabbath day: Does
not each one of you, on the Sabbath
day, loose his OK or his ass from the
stall and lead him away to watering?"
and "Whom of you shall not take his
lamb out of the ditch, wherein it is
fallen?"
Is the meaning of these questions
not: "When it regards to your egotism
you break your Sunday laws, why
should my disciples keep to then? 2
And also when he referred the Phari-
sees to the action of David and his fol-
lowers ate of the shew bread, which
was unlawful?
The Lord when he manifested himself
to the people of Israel during his be-
ing on this earth never told them to
cling to the Sabbath day, but by the
aforementioned admonitions advised
them to break with the self-made hu-
man laws of Israel.

FLORIDA FACTS SOUGHT

Editor Herald l Gesire some in-
formation concerning Florida and have
been wagered a hundred dollars that
no favorable word concerning Florida
could ever be read In The Herald or
any California paper.
I have been here six years and have
so far seen nothing favorable to Flor
Ida it's oranges or climate or crops and
chances for farmers with limited
means.
l particularly wish to inquire if any
one reading this has been in Marion
county, Florida, where one can live on
ten-acre farms and make money rails
ing early vegetables for the New York
markets: also fruit. ANY information
would be gratefully received by a
widow who has lost all the capital she
had in real estate in California and
looks TO Florida as a last hope to sup
port herself and child. B. r. l..

CRITIC, Is cAusrIc

Editor Herald: In this age of capi-
tallstic churchianity and materialistic
science Christianity does not exist; and
Christian Science is misnomer.
Christ said: Sell all thou hast and
give to the poor" Mrs. Eddy took
from the poor $2.000,000 through the
sale of her s. Science and Helath'
book, a very different thing.
AS to her being only a memory
"Senox" is right unless she comes
back as spiritualist mediums claim
can be done and prove her identity
elsewhere in positive form.
1.-THE fool hath said in his heart
there is no God" reads the Scripture
but we are more foolish If we say
in our mind There is no disease;
there is no DEATH" when there is evil
dence on every side of the reality of
both. Such philosophy is distinctly
unscientific. CRITIC.

cRIrlclsEs CHIEF OF POLICE

Editor Herald: I see by The Herald
that a new police chief is slated, and
the announcement brings to mind the
numerous charges against the incum-
bent which were filed by former Secre-
tary Harry Dean and which charges
were never denied in part or in whole
by the mayor or any part or portion of
his commission. The present adminis-
tration will go down in history for sew
eral things.
First, it has given to the city the
best financial administration the city
has ever known.
Second, it has given the city its best
endeavors in conducting clean town,
and the moral reputation the city has
gained is due very much TO the mayor
and his police commission; but the
sting of 1t all is the police depart
ment.
Here is a chief Of police charged with
gross incompetence, having and filing
false reports, using the detective de-
partment for the bounding Of personal
debtors, accused of selling stock in a
manner that would put the Harper re-
gime to shame. and not one of these
charges investigated, in so far as the
public is concerned.
The charges stand affirmed in the abb
fscnce Of dental If this be true II Is
the duty OF the police commission and
the mayor to not compromise Itself by
keeping in office wholly unfit officer.
even though the purpose of II be to
show the newspapers that they cannot
dictate, for the fact Tip remains that
the chief Of police is te servant Of the
people. and 1t Is their right to criticise
an officer who apparently in the case
Of Chief Galloway, is the most in
competent one that the city of Los
Angeles has ever been burdened with
and it speaks i'll of the administration
that II will continue his services in the
face OF public opinion.

missioners, the people are waiting for
your answer.

followed a series of lesser shocks and
continuous tremors until All a. m.

DIVING FOR CHARLT TON.
Bottom of Lake. Como to Be Thorough

Como, Italy, June 16.-Professional
divers began today operations in Lake
Como in the hope that if the waters
conceal the body of Porter Charlton it
will be recovered.
The divers We're engaged by the
government on the insistence of Chas.
NJ. Caughey, American consul at Milan,
who holds to the theory that the per-
son or persons who murdered Mrs.
her body in a trunk. sank in the lake,
disposed in similar fashion of her huS-
band.
The police do not incline strongly
to the theory of a double murder and
after the bottom of the lake had been
dragged in spots with graphing hooks
they were prepared to abandon this
line of investigation. Mr.. Caughey,
however, urged that a further search
be made by divers and the Italian au-
thorities yielded to the wishes of the
consul. The arrival today of the divers
from Genoa caused much excitement
among the peasants.
The interest in the case locally is not
confined to these, residents and sum-
mer visitors throughout this section,
luding a number of Americans,
have been attracted to the scene of the
tragedy. They gathered on the lake
shore in force today, hoping to wit
ness a solution of the mystery of
Charlton's disappearance.
1t is not certain that the divers will
be successful in settling the question
because of the depth of the lake which

TAFT MADE LID.
Marietta College Confers a Degree
Upon the President.

Marietta, O., June 16.-President Taft
speaking at the seventy-fifth anniver-
sary of the founding of Marietta col
lege here took for his theme The HIS
tory of the Northwest Territory" and
referred to the ordinance of 1877 for the
government of the territory as the
greatest instrument of Fundamental
law, except the constitution of the
United States which had ever been
enunciated by men. The study of the
ordinance brought the president to a
general discussion of the liberties OF
the American government. He declar-
ed that the provision in the northwest
ordinance which later appeared in the
constitution forbidding the impairing
of an obligation of contract by law
had been of far reaching Importance
and hal tended to make this country
with it's democratic government by the
people and for the people, perhaps as
conservative a community in respect OF
the rights of property as there were in
the world.
The president delivered his principal
address at MusRngum park. Later at
the Congregational church where Mari
eta college conferred on him the de-
gree of doctor of civil laws he made a
few remarks on higher education.
At Muckingum park, the president
said: 'Ae we study the history of the
settlement of Marietta and the growth
of the northwest territory which fol-
lowed we must De very 1hankIuI Inal
every circumstance seemed to make
for the birth of a great western en-
pire under a government of the high
est ideals and the most practical pro-
visions for their beneficial practice and
the foundation of system of public
education that is in full force and eff
feet and shows itself in the character
OF the people and the government OF
today.
1.-The members of the continental con-
gress, in which the ordinance was pass
ed were some of them members of the
constitute nal convention and all of
them most interested in the discussions
which followed the system of that in
strument to the people of the states.
And hence, while we may say that
the ordinance preceded the constitu-
ton in its adoption by two years, we
ray also truly say that the two in
Struments were twin-born and that the
ordinance of 1887 had the advantage in
that it was the work of practical states
men who were dealing with an entire
ly new country about to be settled,
with no institutions of evil tendency"

LAUGHS AT OFFICERS.
Russian Held as Charlton Murder Sus-
pect Takes Situation as Joke.

Como, Italy, June 15-Constantine
Ispolatoff, chance acquaintance of Por-
ter Charlton and his wife, Mary Scott
Castle Charlton. who has been held in
custody since the body of Mrs. Charl-
ton was recovered from Lake Como,
was again interrogated today, this time
by an examining judge.
Today the Russian was disposed to
poke fun at the authorities.
The italian government, he said, with
q smile, must be very rich to keep me
better in prison than 1 have been able
to live outside on an annual pension
from the Russian government"
IspolatoT, is credited with being or
having been in the employment of the
Russian government in a confidential
CO pacity. IA
While every day turns UP some new
feature adding interest to the Lake
Como mystery it is evident that the
police are still in doubt as to the iden-
tfty of the person or persons, who af-
ter beating Mrs. Charlton into insensi-
there to die of suffocation. They are
still making every effort to locate
Charlton and today received word from
the police that a young man believed
to be the husband was seen at Lucerne
on Saturday, the day after the trunk
containing Mrs. CharFton's body was
hshed out of the lake.
At the same time they are following
up the theory that both Charlton and
his wife were murdered, and Lake
Como was again being dragged today
| for the body of the husband. The po-
| lice and physicians who performed the
autopsy have but little to say, but
their occasional cryptic expressions in
fame the popular interest.
1t is believed that the authorities
i have worked out a motive for the
| crime based on what has been told
them by peasant neighbors of the
| C1arltons and by the physicians who
were called in. Just what the theory
| is remains a matter of conjecture. The
authorities are spurred on by the in
terest taken in the case by the state
| department at Washington, as shown
through the activities of American
Ambassador Lelshnan and the Amer
lean consul at Milan, Charles NJ.
Caughey.
Mr.. Leish1nan is stopping at Castle

Oh the shore of Lake Como. He is
keeping in touch with the consulate at
| Milan and with the American embassy
at Rome and comforting frequently with
! the officials of the Italian government.
Mr.. Caughey had an interview with
the authorities at Milan To-Day regard
| ing the further search of the lake. The

| disposed of in a manner similar to that
| employed in the concealment of the
body OF his wife.
