HOOSIERS PREPARING
FOR REDONDO PICNIC
Something Doing All the Time
and No Speeches. Is So
ciety'S Slogan

Former residents of Indiana are look
ing forward to meeting old friends at
the Hoosier picnic which viii be given
at Redondo Beach Saturday under the
auspices of the Indiana society. Spe-
cial cars will carry the picnickers
over the lines of the Los Angeles-Re-
dondo road and the amusement COM
mittee has many novel features
planned for the entertainment of all
"Hoosiers."
The slogan of the Indiana society
for the picnic is Something doing all
the time and no speeches" Prizes will
be awarded the victors in the, various
competition matches.
The fare from Los Angeles to Re-
dondo Beach and return is so cents for
adults and 25 cents for children under
12 years of age. To get the full ben
eft of the Hooser picnic at the least
cost the committee suggests that the
best plan for those contemplating at
tending is to buy the coupon ticket,
which gives 50 worth of entertainment
for IS cents. Coupon tickets may be
secured only from members.
The society will get a commission
on the tickets sold by members, and
the profit derived in this way will be
used to defray the picnic expenses, for
no collection will be taken. The So
Ciety requests people to buy tickets
from members, for it cannot offer
tickets for sale at the stations or along
the company's right of way, to do so
being a violation of the anti-scalping
law.
The feature of the mornings pro-
gram will be the singing of Indiana
songs, accompanied by an orchestra.
The society has several Indiana mu-
sical selections but it wants more. "On
the Banks of the Wabash" the song
that is known by nearly every
"Hoosier," will be sung. and those
having copies of this song are re-
quested to communicate with Mrs.
George Rumble, whose Home phone
number is 51199.

MAYOR ASKS $4,000
TO IMPROVE HARBOR
City Attorney Advises Against the
Plan to Repay Money
Into General Fund

Please appropriate $25,OOO to be used
is the substance of a message Mayor
Alexander sent to the council yester-
day. The message was referred to
the finance committee and the commit
tee will find the money if possible.
The mayor suggested it be taken
from the general fund and the money
turned back as soon as the harbor
bonds are sold but City Attorney Hew-
lit advised the council yesterday that
this could not be done as bond money
could only be used for the object for
which ii was ted and not for re-
funding, Mr. Hewitt said that the har-
Dor bonds would be ready to offer for
sale between October 1 and January 1.
The mayors message follows:
Gentlemen: Owing to the cir
cumstances which we could not
control the city has not been able
promptly to carry out the promises
made by the consolidation commit
tee to the people of Wilmington.
his delay has given them cause
for complaint.
l know that the council budget
committee is facing a very serious
problem, end that it probably will
be necessary LOT II 10 materially re-
duce the amounts asked for by
many of the city departments. In
view of these circumstances, if it
can be done without too seriously
handicapping the city, 1 would re-
spectfully recommend that your
honorable body provide fund of
$25,000 to be used in the prelimi-
nary work on the harbor at Will
mington, pending such time as the
harbor bond money will be avail
able. This money should be ad-
vanced, if it legally can be, under
the arrangement that it may be
refunded from the bond money
when that money becomes avail
able.

BLIND SINGER SENT TO
A PRIVATE SANITARIUM
Charles T. HendriCk Committed
by Judge BordWeII

Charles T. Hendrick, formerly a tenor
singer associated with Francis j. Mur-
ply, apostle of temperance, and known
as the blind nightingale will be
placed in a private institution as the
result of his trial before Judge Bord-
we'll of the superior court on an insan-
ity charge.
Hendrick studied osteopathy so dill
gently for two years that his mind is
alleged to be affected. Queer actions
such as tearing skin and flesh from his
feet, are attributed to him.
All this was brought out at the hear
ing several days ago, and yesterday
Judge BordWell, at the request of
friends, permitted the singer-student
to go with them, the promise being
given that he will be placed in an Alta
dena sanitarium.

NEW RATE FOR LIGHTING
CANCELS CONTRACT PRICE

The farewell opinion given by John
w. Shenk as assistant city attorney
was delivered to the board of public
utilities yesterday. In this opinion he
said any contracts for electric light
ing, expiring after a new rate fixed
by the council had gone into effect
were not valid, but that the new rate
would supersede the old contract
price.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the board of public utilities
by a letter from Sanborn, Vail & Co.,
who have a contract for light and
power extending three years. The con-
tract price for light is higher than the
Z cent rate fixed by the council. Mr..
Shenk holds the consumers do not
have to pay more than the cents.

RULES ON DRUNKENNESS
IN ACTION FOR DIVORCE
Court Holds 1t Must Extend Over
Year to Be Cruelty

To constitute cruelty sufficient to
form grounds for divorce, drunkenness
on the part of a spouse must be
habitual for at least a year, according
to a statement made yesterday by
Judge Hutton of the superior court in
denying divorce to Mrs. Lillian Huber
from Charles ]. Huber.
Several months ago Huber, who was
the cashier of the H. o. Harrison Au-
tomobile company, disappeared, and
until it was learned that he was short
in his accounts with his employer 1t
was feared he had been killed or shang-
haied.
Later he was discovered in New Or
leans. but because of the comparative
financial smallness of his faults his en-
ployers did not cause him to be brought
back and tried.
Mrs. Huber sought divorce on the
grounds of cruelty, and though there
was no doubt of his having been a
habitual drinker, from the evidence,
the judge claimed that his actions in
that line were not of sufficient dura-
ton for her to obtain decree on the
cruelty charge.

SUES MAIL CONTRACTOR
FOR INJURIES; GETS $500

A jury in Judge Moss department
of the superior court yesterday re-
turned a verdict for damages of $500
in favor of w. C. Busse, who sued j.
w. Rltzman for damages because of
injuries he suffered when a mail wag-
on on which he was riding collided
with a car of the Los Angeles Rail
way company. Ritzman has the con-
tract for conveying the mail between
the postoffice and the Arcade station.
The Los Angeles Railway company
was made a defendant in the action
but the jury did not take it into con-
sideration in rendering the verdict and
the damages must be paid by Ritzman
alone.

Mrs. Jessie Myers, niece to Charles
p. Cunningham, made so much noise
when her uncles wife obtained a di-
vorce yesterday in Judge Huttons de-
partment of the superior court that
the jurist was forced to rebuke her.
Various unprintable things were
charged to Cunningham by his wife,
Ella Cunningham, and when the de-
cree was granted, the latters friends
volubly expressed congratulations,
Mrs Myers, in derision, made more
noise than the others and the judge
reprimanded her for her "unseeml,-
conduct" in the courtroom.
Others DEGREES granted were those to
Arthur w. Burton from Mary G. Bur
ton, Mary A. Eckles from Arthur j.

HIS SHARE OF COMMISSION

Alleging violation of the terms of
partnership, S. B. Bradford yesterday

of partnership, and an accounting of
the firms affairs.

MOST EFFECTIVE PRAYER.
All our prayers and good works
should begin with a prayer of thanks
giving to God. A prayer of thanks
giving is the most effective prayer. 1t
is only just. meet, right and proper at
all times to give thanks to God. Do
not complain, grurnble or find fault
with things. Be thankful for every
thing.-Cardinal Gibbons. Roman
Catholic Baltimore.
THE MAN WHO HAS A CREED.
The truth is a mans character is no
bigger and no better than his creed,
for information makes his knowledge,
and knowledge makes his experience.
AS his experience grows his creed grows
larger. The dwarf knows no creed and
wants none. 1t is the growing man who
has a creed. The best Christian be-
lievts most because he has experienced
most.-Rev. w. A. Mathews, Baptist
Chicago.
LIFE IS WORTH WHILE.
Our pain and sorrow have a redemp-
tive effect, and the end is not yet. Tho
world bows in homage at the feet of
the sufferers whom history has crown
ed In the midst of it all there rises the
shadow of a cross and beneath that
cross of Jesus we learn that though
the battle is sore. victory is sure We
worth while and feel there the throb of
immortality.-Rev. Hugh T. Kerr. Pres
byterian, Chicago.
NEED OF RELIOUS TEACHING.
The United States census shows that
from 1890 to 1906 there has been a
most encouraging and heaIfhv orovv+h
in the Episcopal church and in all Of
the older religious sects. Many of the
small sects in that time have disap-
peared. while the increase of our
church has been at least $3.50 per cent.
I have real regard for the Roman
Catholic church body. especially for the
wonderful energy shown by it. In the
sixteen years covered by the census
that body has shown an increase of
100000 members or 93.6 per cent. That
is an interesting statement Do you
realize that the parochial schools which
are fostered by this church are the big
gest factors in this growth? In New
York city alone the Roman Catholic
church has parochial schools that have
an aggregate of 100000 pupils. There
the children are taught the Christian
truths as they have been received by
the Roman Catholic church. We are
forced to realize that the real educa-
tional force is the teaching Of these
truths. and all education must include
religious teaching. Our church would
do well to establish such schools, and I
hope that we may soon see the estal-
lishment of parochiaI schools. The
children in the Roman Catholic schools
learn loyalty to their religion and af-
lection for their teachers. The pu! lie
schools are a drawback to religion, as
thew give no religious teaching.-Bishop
Frederick Burgess of Long Island Do
cese Of Episcopal church.
