MARINE CORPS MEN LOSE
SOFT JOBS AT CAPITAL
Readiustment Breaks Up System
Enjoyed by Officers

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The final
readjustment of affairs in the marine
corps was made today by change in
the navy regulations, approved by
President Taft, which completely
breaks UP the system by which staff
officers of the corps have enjoyed long
terms of duty at desks in Washington,
The change comes as one of the re-
suits of the recent court in
which most of the staff officers were
censured and the life tenure" of Off
GERS in Washington condemned.
Heretofore the regulations have pro-
vided that the officers of the staff
should be located here. President TAFT
now has approved a change to require
them to do duty wherever they may be
assigned by the commandant. Under
the old regulations the adjutant and
inspector took charge in the absence or
the commandant Hereafter the secre-
tary of the navy will designate an Off
Ger to fill such a temporary vacancy.
Practically all the existing lines of
succession are wiped out, and the as
signment of duty and the localities of
staff officers is left to the discretion of
the commandant of the corps and the
secretary of the navy.

GERMANY EXPELS
MORMON LEADERS
Missionaries al Meeting in Berlin
Taken Into CUSTODY
by Police
TO BE ESCORTED TO FRONTIER
americans and English Must
Leave, but Germans Are
Allowed to Stay
TO BE ESCORTED TO FRONTIER
LAssocIated Press1

BERLIN, July 22.-Herr Dalwitz,
Prussian minister of the interior, on
recommendation of the political police,
has signed orders for the expulsion of
tWenty-one Mormon missionaries, most
Of whom are Americans or Englishmen,
and they will be conducted to the from
tier today. The missionaries had as
sembled from various parts of Ger
many at the Mormon headquarters on
the east side to meet superintendent
Mckay, an American residing in Swift
zerland.
They were holding services when an
agent Of the political office, who was
seated in the audience, rose and de-
clared the gathering dissolved. At the
moment several members of the crimi-
nal police appeared and virtually took
the congregation in custody
The women were asked to leave the
place and the men were examined as
to their nationality.
Those found to be German subjects
were released while the others were
requested to accompany the officers to
the police presidency. There, after fur
ther examination, they were permitted
to go to their lodgings to await the
issuance of warrants for their eXpul-
sion.
The status of the Mormons in Ger
many was taken up in exchanges be-
tween the foreign office and the Amer
lean embassy in 1908, when the govern
ment took the position that the teach
ings of the m, Missionaries were subver-
siVe of morality.
It was then arranged with the Nor
mon superintendent, through the
American embassy, that all Mormon
missionaries should withdraw from the
country within a month, transferring
the middle European headquarters
from Berlin to Switzerland. Subse-
quently $40 foreign leaders departed,
leaving the German societies, with a
total membership of 5000, in the care
of German pastors.
The authorities state that in recent
years the Mormons have disregarded
the understanding of 1903, and from
time to time individual missionaries
have been apprehended and expelled.
In such instances they have not ap-
piled to the American embassy for
relief nor made a protest against their
emulsion

MORMONS AT SALT LAKE
SURPRISED BY ACTION
President Smith on Way to Eu-
rope; May Ask Modification

SALT LAKE CITY, July 22.-Some
surprise was occasioned among Of
ficials of the Norman church by the
Berlin dispatch telling of the expulsion
of missionaries from Germany. When
similar action was taken three or four
years ago it was said that the church
would place it's propaganda in the
hands of the German converts and
make no further effort to introduce
American missionaries until the gov
ernment was persuaded to change it's
attitude.
No intimation of a change in this
policy has been given. The presence
of foreign leaders at the Berlin meet
ing may be explained by letter from
President Thomas e. Mckay of the
Swiss and German mission, written in
Zurich, May 81. President Mckay said
that while passing through Berlin he
stated to the police authorities that
general conferences of the Mormon
missionaries were held in different
parts of Europe, and that he desired
to hold such a gathering in Berlin early
in July. The request was put in
writing and presented to the acting
president of police, who promised to
submit it to the president of police
when the latter returned to his duties.
Joseph F. Smith, head of the Mormon
church, is now envoyage to Europe ana
NAV make an effort to secure modifl-
cation of the hostile attitude of the
German government.

DENTISTS WILL HOLD NEXT
MEETING IN CLEVELAND
Dr.. James G. Sharp Delivers Ad-
dress That Creates a
Storm of Protest

DENVER, July 22.-The National
Dental association installed officers,
listened to reports of officers and of the
executive council and adjourned to
meet in Cleveland in July, 1911.
Dr. James G. Sharp of San Francisco,
whose address yesterday declaring
that the educational requirements for
dentists were too low and urging that
dentists in future be required to have
a college education, created a storm of
protest from the convention, had quite
a laugh today at the expense of his
brother, DIR. William f. Sharp, also of
San Francisco and his fellow delegate.
The Doctors Sharp much resemble each
other and dress alike. When DR.. VIII
liam Sharp entered the convention hall
this morning he was surrounded by a
crowd of delegates who expostulated
vehemently with him for his supposed
statements. DR.. Sharp protested in
vain that he had cast no aspersions on
the educational qualifications of the
profession until his younger brother
strolled up and stood beside him.
Then the delegates faded away, with
their lower maxillaries in excellent po-
sition for the examination of molars

FORMER ANGELENO BACK
AFTER SCORE Of YEARS
General A. J. West Predicts Very
Bright Future for Angel City.
Growth Is Surprising

General Andrew ]. West, a promi-
nent resident of Atlanta, accompanied
by his wife and daughter, are visiting
in this city, the guests of D. o. Stew
art On arriving in Los Angeles two
days ago, Mr.. West was astonished at
the improvements made since his visit
here twenty years ago. In telling his
impressions of Los Angeles, General
West said:
1.-THE improvements here are simply
a revelation. On this trip my wife,
daughter and self have visited all the
great cities and places of interest In
the west, including the Yellowstone
National park, but we have found nc
place that can compare with the beau
ty, climate and magnificent progress
of Los Angeles, which / must term
the queen city of the Pacific. 1t is
impossible for one to foreshadow its
future growth"
General West has an acquaintance
ship extending all over the United
States. He has been quite prominent
in the business and social life of At
lanta, and represented the state of
Georgia as a commissioner to the St,
Louis Worlds fair. He also served in
the capacity of commissioner from
Georgia to the fair held in the City Of
Mexico several years ago. The general
was also on two important commit
tees of the Atlanta cotton exposition
seven years ago, and during the op-
ening ceremonies of the exposition,
welcomed the late President Mckinley.
General West enlisted in the Confed-
crate army when a lad of 16, and less
than two years later, by a special act
OF the Conferedate congress, was pro
NOTED to a captaincy. He served as
uuartermaster general on the staff of
the governor of Georgia for twenty
years, resgning four years ago.
General West has been foremost in
every movement for the betterment of
Atlanta, and has seen this city rise
from a pile of ashes to "a place of
over 100000 inhabitants.
During the invasion of Atlanta by
General Sherman's forces on his march
from the mountains to the sea, Cen
eral West was among the Confederate
defenders who endeavored to stop the
invasion.
Miss Gene West, a daughter of Cen
eral West, graduated from the state
normal school in Los Angeles at the
close of the last term. The Vests
will remain in Los Angeles until the
latter part of next week, when they
will return to their Georgia home.

[Assoclated Pressi

PORTLAND, Ore, July 22.-The con-

can party in this state, self-styled AS

sion in this city, has thrown down the
gauntlet to the faction of the party
which supports the so-called oregon

semblv Republicans, without quall1ca-
ton, declare that they will knife to the

himself for office should he be sue
cessful in the primaries, If he be an

The anti-assembly Republicans-the
fatcion which favors the "Oregon sys-
tem"-are just as bitter and appar-
emily Just as ready to lock horns as
the assembly faction. 1t is admitted by
both factions that on the result Oh the
November election stands or falls the
"Oregon system" in this state.
The opposition to the assembly is not
organized, for the anti-assemDly Re-
publicans are opposed to the pflnclple
of party assemblages whose object is

They contend that the assembly is IN
reality an attempt to return to the old
convention method of nominating a
ticket and that it's real purpose is the
destruction of the direct primary.
There are, nevertheless. already sur
ficient anti-assembly candidates for
nomination in the field to insure prac-
tically complete anti-assembly primary
tickets throughout the state.
While openly asserting that II mas

faction also contends that its second
important purpose is to suggest for

ability to accept nomination for office.
They deny that they are opposed to
the direct primary system and on the
other hand claim they are its best
friends. They declare that men capa-

ferior caliber and professional office
holders are the only ones except on
rare occasions. who since the primary
law has been in force, have been pre-

in frequent defeat at the polls but will
eventuate in the complete disruption of
the party.

rsneclnl to Tn. Heraldl

SAN BERNARDINO, July 22.-Mrs.
Gustave Faber, wife of Prof. Faber. a
German musician, sustained burns
which caused her death this afternoon
at her home on North b street, by the
explosion of gasoline which she was
pouring into a stove The woman was
completely enveloped in burning oil,
and every garment burned from her.
The house was completely destroyed
Mrs. Faber's screams, as the oil fire
burned away her garments attracted
neighbors, who rushed to the unfor-
tunate woman's aid. Her house sits
some distance back on a three-acre
tract, so that much time elapsed before
neighbors could reach her.
1t was with difficulty that the fire
was quenched, no part of her body
escaping the deadly flames, which even
ate away her shoes. She was still
conscious when DR.. Andrews arrived,
and he administered opiates to deaden
her sufferings. AS she lay beneath
a tree awaiting the coming of an am
bulence. she told of the circumstances
of the tragedy.
Before her aged husband reached
her she lapsed into Inconsistencies,
and in that condition was taken to the
County hospital where she died at 5:3O
this evening after three hours and a
half of awful agony.
HUSBAND FAINTS
It seems the deceased was attempt
ing TO start q fire In q cookstoVe by
pouring coal oil upon the kindling.
Close by was a gasoline stove. The
coal oil suddenly famed up enveloping
her She seemed to think only of her
home, which was some 20 feet distant,
the accident having occurred in small
clubhouse, and rushing to the dwelling
she commenced to carry her art treas
ure and rare chinaware out while all
the time the flames were burning into
her flesh The burning garments ig-
nited the dwelling, and in this way it
was also destroyed.
The woman's husband tainted a
number of times when he reached the
scene from town. Six men had to
hold him to prevent him from throw
ing himself upon his wife. Just a few
moments before he arrived she had
called the neighbors about her, on
hearing from the doctor that she could
not live. and she, called them to wit
ness that all the Faber property of
every description belonged to her hus-
band. She also charged them to tell
him where money had been secreted in
the house, and where their silverware
and jewelry was concealed. Faber is
employed by the city street depart
ment.
