highly of the man and of his hon
esty and integrity in the business
world. Charles Mills was a citizen
of Richland and was well known in
all of the stock markets of the United
States.

The memorial address of the after
noon was delivered by Father Lotus,
who spoke very briefly of the kind
brotherly act of the Order of Elks in
carrying out a memorial exercise in
honor of those departed. Such acts
have tendency to link closer to-
gether the living with the dead and
the spirit of it all brings us face to
face with the departed friends and
brothers. The purpose, soul and
spirit of such tribute is to show the
existing brotherhood. Upon brother
hood is based manhood, and brother
hood helps us to be better men. The
speaker retained the closest attention
from every one, and all were pleased
with the earnestness with which the
gentleman spoke. .-..

MEETING FOR WOMEN.

The women's meeting at the Chris
tian church at noon was the scene
of the largest crowd that has proba-
bly, ever been in that building. The
meeting opened with singing. Mrs.
Warnock of the United Presbyterian
church read the Scriptures. Prayer
was offered by Mrs. McClelland of
the Methodist church and an effective
vocal solo was rendered by Mrs. Roy
Kemble. Mrs. Mufrhead was intro
duced by Mrs. McCord and she in
turn introduced Mrs. Sunday, the
mother of BILLY" Sunday. She was
received with hearty. applause and
made short address. 1t was stated
that BILLY" Sunday began his evan
gelistic work in New Sharon over
fifteen years ago. Mrs. Muirhead's
address was telling and forcible
presentation of facts and at the very
start she placed the present exist
ence of the saloon at the feet of the
membership OF the Christian church,
who by their indifference have given
the saloon the upper hand. Women's
influence in the home, home training
of children, the conduct of young
girls toward young men. dress, So
ciety and the slums, the laws regard
ing social purity, the Bible in the
public school. clean politics and the
relation of women regarding suffrage,
the white slave trade and other kin
dred subjects were talked about and
discussed. The facts presented were
forceful and helpful to all women
who really recognize the responsible
ity and power of their position. She
is woman of fine presence and is
a straightforward speaker. She has
had great experience in evangelistic
and rescue work and out of the
wealth Of her personal knowledge
came the address of the hour. 1t will
not soon be forgotten.

SULTAN OF SULU SAYS
ONE WIFE IS ENOUGH
PenSioner of United States, Now
in New York, Will Visit
the President

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-Hadji Mo-
hammed Jamulai Kiram II, Sultan of
Sulu, titular head Of the Mohamnle-
dan faith in the Philippine Islands,
and pensioner of the United States, ar
rived today on the steamer st. Louis
accompanied by Dato Bojo Moda, his
personal adviser, Charles ]. Worble, an
interpreter, and four Jolo attendants.
Here to meet the sultan and give him
formal welcome to the United States
was Major Hugh L. Scott, Fourteenth
United States cavalry, formerly gov
ernor of the Sulu archipelago.
The oriental potentate will remain
in New York several weeks and will
then visit the principal cities of the
United States. During his stay he will
renew his acquaintance with the pres
ident, first made when Mr.. Taft was
governor general of the Philippines
Major Scott went down the bay in
a revenue cutter to meet the sultan
and was the first to geet him. Kiram
II, through the interpreter, said he
wanted it understood that he had at
present Just one wife.

stimulants were used to revive the oc-
cupant for the next event.
There were so many available ap-
plicants for positions in the "bald-
headed mems race" that entries were
confined to two persons, H. B. Gurley,
assistant secretary Of the organization,
and A. w. Francisco. Gurley collided
with his opponent at the outset of the
race and was ruled off the track after
he had won the race.
Councilman OBrien, strapped to
Will Jeffries, hobbled past all competi-
tors in the three-legged race. In Il
statement to the press later he de-
clared undue credit had been given him
for his victory because he had devoted
many painstaking hours at his home to
practicing in his wife's hobble skirt.
Tax Collector Taggart met with an
accident in the potato race that forced
him to retire to a nearby clothing store
for repairs. Abbot Kinney, Carl e.
McStay and John Coffin were in the
race, McStay gathering his potatoes
before the others could get out of the
way of Taggart's unSightly sprawl.
Joe Scott was on the program for
high dive in the bath house plunge and
an admiring throng gathered to wit
ness his performance. He did not ap-
pear for the dive, and delegation sent
to find him found the president teach
ing several young women the art of
swimming in the surf.
More than 600 persons from Los An
geleS were members of the chamber of
commerce party. Special cars over the
Los Angeles-Pacific railway left the
city for the beach at noon and for
several hours after. They were met at
Venice by a reception committee and
Chiaffarellrs band and escorted to the
auditorium, where lunch was served
during the vaudeville and musical pro-
gram. The athletic contests followed
the luncheon. At their close the recep-
tion committee escorted their guests
through the various amusement places
and points of interest in the seaside
city.
The visit of the Los Angeles body
will be long remembered at Venice be-
cause of its freedom from all formality

returned to work prior to October 8.

PAYS FINE FOR NEGLECT
TO REPORT AN ACCIDENT

Another violator of the ordinance re-
quiring all accidents to be reported to
the police was fined SO yesterday by
Police Judge Frederickson. He was
r. A Brown, a contractor, living at
3106 Emmett street.
The ordinance reads that persons re-
sponsible for street accidents shall re-
port these occurrences to the police at
once. Brown made plea for forgive
ness on the ground that he had never
heard of this ordinance. He was driv-
ing a buggy east on First street Sep
tember 13, when Max Scheed of 2508
East First street swung off a car al
most directly in front of the vehicle.
Scheed was run down and two of his

report the incident to the police until

At BEACH FR0LIC
Chamber of Commerce Get To-
getheristS' GLADDEN. Even
the Sad Sea Waves

Members Of the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce "got together yesterday
at Venice in a program filled with roll
licking fun. Staid bankers and busi-
ness men, builders of Los Angeles,
threw aside the cares and worries of
finance and pitched into boyhood joys
with the zest and vim of school days.
They ate peanuts and munched pop
corn, ran races and slid the dump the
bumps" much to the chagrin Of some
of their wives and daughters.
A band rode the roller coaster yelling
like Apache Indians after scalps. A
party of officials sampled the 10y
wheel" and found It's revolutions so en-
ticing that the women Of the party
were forced into the fun only to be
tossed, like their escorts, into a
bundled heap on the floor.
Possibly the strongest attraction on
the program was a race of seven past
presidents of the chamber on the
Venice pier. They were Major Jones,
Charles Fornan, William D. Stephens,
A. B. Cass, George II. Stewart, w. J.
Washburn and +. Q. Story. Joseph
Scott, present president, umpired the
race and was mobbed for his decision.
He gave the race to Cass who, in his
eagerness to reach the coveted goal,
is alleged to have pummeled several of
his opponents and sent Charles Forman
sprawling as he was about to cross the
line.
CHARIOT RACE FIERCE
Under the very eyes of the police
several wheelbarrows were cOnflscated
from the breakwater and used in a
race that created a sensation. Joe
Scott wheeled Frank Virgins, secre-
tary of the Los Angeles body, to vic

competitors. Scott's manipulation of
the chariot" possibly from lack Of
practice, was of such a nature that
