bara avenue and Fifty-flrst street met
last evening on a vacant lot at Vernon
avenue and Figueroa street to take
action toward getting water from the
city.

ent appointed a committee to appear
before the Los Angeles water board

water be supplied to the district.

company is supplying water to the
complainants About a year ago pc
tition asking that city water be sup
piled was circulated and 1900 persons
signed it, The water company made a
counter proposal that the citizens sup
piled by it buy the plant. The contro-
versy died down without any action
being taken.
This time, it is stated, every effort
is to be made to get water from the
city. At last nights meeting it was
decided to form a permanent improve
ment association, which will attempt

PIANO LESSON LEADS TO
NEIGHBORHOOD DISCORD
Woman Charged with Using the
Broom on Another and Child

An attempt on the part of young
woman to learn more of harmony by
taking a piano lesson produced only
discord in the neighborhood of 1929
North Beaudry avenue and is to have
it's sequel in Police Judge Roses court
Tuesday, when Mrs. Matte Gratz will
plead to a battery charge preferred
against her by Charles Gross OF BIZ
North Beaudry avenue. Gross charges
Mrs. Gratz, who lives at 3222 North
Beaudry avenue, used broom in
chastising his daughter, eight years
old, and later used 1t on his mother
when she interfered
According to the story of eye wit
nesses, one of Gross daughters started
out yesterday morning to take a piano
lesson at a neighbours house. Bessie,
the eight year-old cause of the trouble,
accompanied her sister, but on arriv-
ing at the neighbours house was refused
admission. She promptly repaired to
the sidewalk and proceeded to let all
in her immediate vicinity know Of
her trouble by screaming and crying
Mrs Gratz, who lives in the fiat below,
came out with her broom and proceed
ed to apply it to the little girl.
Bessie's grandmother, also attracted
by the melee, came hurrying along and,
according to Gross, she, too, was given
a taste of the broom treatment by the
irate Mrs. Gratz. AS soon as Gross
learned of the affair he went to CEN
trail police hea, quarters and swore out
battery complaint. Mrs Gratz de-
MES that she struck either the grand
mother - the child.

AS TO RACE SUICIDE

Henry James does not agree with
Colonel Roosevelt on the question Of
large families. Some families, such as
prevail in France, indicate, to Mr..
James mind, intelligence and progress,
while large families indicate the re-
verse.
Large families are so embarrassing,
too" said Mr. James on his last Amer
lean visit. II once knew a man named
Thompson who had fourteen children.
Thompson agreed one spring holiday to
take his children to the seashore for
the weekend.
"They set off, reached the station,
got their tickets and were about to
board the train when Thompson was
roughly collored by policeman.
Here, wot "a you bin a-doin' OFF,
the policeman growled fiercely.
Me? Nothing. Why" stammered
Thompson.
1.-THE policeman waved his truncheon
toward the Thompson family.

CANDIDATE SEEKS
To KNOW VOTERS
Dick Ferris viii Greet Prospective
Supporters from Cross
roads Cracker Boxes
EXPECT PERSONALITY TO WIN
Aspirant for Lieut.. GovernorShip
Plans Rapid Campaign
of Entire State
EXPECT PERSONALITY TO WIN

Dick Ferris, known as one of the
most brilliant and spectacular pro-
moters of the Pacific coast, will not
introduce any Of his we'll known daz-
cling stunts in his campaign work.
The only thing which will be spec
tacular in the work for the ensuing
month will be the rapidity with which
this new aspirant for lieutenant gov
ernor will cover the ground. He pro-
poses to make his fight for nomination
on strictly personal lines. He will
make a tour of the state and Will have
the country grocery stores for his au-
ditorium and the familiar soda cracker
box for his rOstrum. Here he Will meet
the local voters of each neighbOrhood,
and here will explain to them his IDEAS.
Before l reach a town." said the
prospective lieutenant governor yes
terday afternoon, Il will send on a
word that l am coming, and that |
hope to meet the voters and discuss
the issues of the campaign with them.
THE issues Of this present campaign
are of special Importance to Southern
California. The ensuing cycle Of four
years promises to be one of the most
vital in the history OF the state. Within
that time we shall see the completion
Of the aqueduct, the finishing of the
Panama canal, two great worlds fairs
within our own state and the final set
Ting Of the great oil industry which
lust now promises to bring so much
wealth to our citizens. These matters
may be adjusted so that they will re-
fleet great credit and profit to the peO-
pie of California, or they may bring
little of either. Much depends on the
legislation which attends them"
Mr.. Ferris has been considering the
acceptance Of such a nomination for
only ten days or so, and comes back
from a long eastern visit with only a
general idea Of the situation. He will
devote the next few days to closer
study Of the state and local political
field and will then begin his campaign
in earnest.
That his entrance into the political
game will have a decidedly enlivening
effect is certain. Those candidates of
the southern part of the state will
find that the spotlight of publicity will
illuminate their own careers as well as
that of Mr. Ferris.
Southern California ought to elect
either the governor or the lieutenant
governor. That much is certain, and it
would be quite fair for this half of
the state to have both officers once"
said Mr.. Ferris. 81 am not a poll
tician, nor do 1 desire to be one, but
If can be of any service to the people
of my state / am willing to do my
best"

MlLLIONAIRE'S SON ESCAPES
LEGAL PENALTY FOR MURDER
Father Allowed to Care for Youth
Adjudged Insane

SEATTLE, June 9.-Wallace A. Bus
sell, son of C. B. Russell, millionaire
tide land owner, will neither be sent
to the state insane asylum under the
finding of the lunacy commission
which adjudged him of unsound mind
yesterday nor will he be tried for the
murder of Joseph Bonner bartender,
whom he sot down while making an
individual raid on gambling resort
in the King street district, May IL.
Instead the youth will be released to
the guardianship of his father under
$4,000 bonds and will be placed in
a private sanitarium at Livermore,
Cal.
In a conference between Bussells at
torneys and the county prosecutor to-
day it was decided to recommend this
plan to the court, and Judge A. w.
Frater has decided to accept the rec
ommendation. According to attorneys,
the release of Russell on bond VIII be
the first case in the history of the state
in which person charged with murder
in the first degree has been released
from the county or other jail on bail.

FACES FIGHT
FOR j. S.W.V. PRESIDENCY
Leadership of Spanish War Vet
Grams Sought by Junior Vice
Commander mclaughlin

Theodore Roosevelt will have hard
Gus scraps on which he dotes, when he
arrives in Denver September and
starts to gallop off with the presidency
of the United Spanish War Veterans,
say Los Angeles members of the or
der. The man who has undertaken to
give him the lively fall exercise is ]. 1.
mclaughlin, junior vice commander of
the Pacific division of the organization.
The national meeting and election of
officers of the veterans will be held in
the Colorado metropolis September 6 to
s, inclusive. A number of special trains
from western points, all bearing Nc
Claughlin supporters, it is said, will be
run to the convention.
mclaughlin has been endeavoring to
keep his candidacy a secret, but some
one loosened the sack strings and the
cat frisked into the open. Now that the
candidacy is public, mclaughlin adj
mits thta he is not only running, but
that ne has pledges from seventeen
states in his support.
Representatives of the Los Angeles
society claim that the west is entitled
to the office this year and everything
points toward the west carrying the
September election. Little effort has
been made in the organization of forces
in the east, for the reason that Colonel
Roosevelt is considered an invincible
candidate and western men look on
this as another feature of the struggle
distinctly in thei rfavor.
mclaughlin served in the medical
department of the army in the Spanish
war under Major Greenleaf in the Phil
ippines and won the rank of major
general. At another time he was In the
l59th Indiana regiment.
The delegates to the national meet
ing are w. w. Cooper, e. L. Head and
w e. woodbury.; alternates, ]. r.
Ormsby, Herman Tedman and e. w.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
TO REORGANIZE SYSTEM
Construction of New Hygienic
Laboratories Is Planned

SACRAMENTO, July 9.-The state
board of health today decided to re-
organize its state hygienic laboratory
system
In the past there has been one CEN
trail laboratory, which has been located
in Berkeley. One year ago a substation
was opened in Los Angeles and the
work done there has relieved the CEN
trail station of a great deal OF heavy
work, and the results have been more
than satisfactory.
1t is now proposed to at once install
another substation In Fresno, this
branch to have charge of all examina-
tions in counties north of the Tehach-
api mountains as far north as Stock
ton. The legislature may ask for funds
for another station

EIGHTEENTH rrlcn oosGnrss

The friends ~ humanity are laborlng
necessarily for the furtherance OF the
cause Of peace and good will among
men: they are doing some Of the prep
aratory work necessary for the ostab-
ushment OF the Millennlal era.
We are reminded Of this by the re-
ceipt " an Official notice, signed by
pr. ] Bergman Of stockholm that the
Eighteenth Universal Peace congress
win be held in that city this year
the first week Of August; also a letter
upon the same subject. by James l..
Tryon. Assistant Secretary of the
American Peace Society. Boston The
letter will he found elsewhere on this
page
The work for peace Is not In vain
The opposing forces are strong, hut
vast change has come over the civ
ilized portion Of mankind since tho
peace friends first united In organized
efforts for arbitration. Not only Is
1t universally admitted that the goat
is within reach, but even militarism
tries to justify it's existence and fc,r-
ful cxactious ON the plea that these
are necessary for the maintenance OF
peace Milltarism itself has become
a peace advocate. which IL the highest
tribute possible paid to the cause of
the peace friends when, as is now
actually the fact, even mIlltarism adj
mits the main point IN controversy. thai
peace Is the great dcsideratum. I'm
fact the normal condition Of socNty
and the only one under which II can
advance aud prosper, the means 10y
which this condition can be established
and maintained viii be found on
this point there is still difference OF
opinion Says militarism: give INC
armies and navies, and viii guaran-
tee peace" To which the peace friends
reply: They are too costly and too
dangerous; give us international laws
and international courts, and there will
be peace"
The contention at present turns on
the best method OF securing the end
an admit to be desirable. That sim
plinos the discussion. The result of
the peace agitation, 80 far is this gem

have tried to make il appear that the
Emperor Constantine is responsible for
the introduction OF the new practice In
the observance OF the sabbath Nothing
Is further from the truth. Constantine
found that the Christians. or "A nsJori-
~ of Them observed Sunday az their
day OF worship. He was anxious TO
make the Christians his friends. for po-
litical reasons. aud his Sunday laws
were issued to please the Christians.
IN 1921 he ordained that there should h.
no court proceedings on sunday. ex-
cept that slaves might be given their
freedom on that day AZ on other days
lie also prohibited all military practice
on that day This ~ proof positive
that tho Christians In this early age
had adopted sunday as their sabbath.
And If II had not been done by apps
tollc sanction, and we may say rcve-
ption then 1t il utterly impossible 60
account for the origin Of tho change.
The universal application Of chris
tianity made It necessary TO abolish all
limitations that prevented II from be-
coming universal This became par
ticularly necessary In the Observance
of holidays. In the view Of the gospel
81 the Rcdcemer the entire life Of the
believer WAS set apart and sanctiiicd
to His service. So was every day In
the week II followed that tho OBJ
scrvance NJ the festivals Of the ola
Covenant was regarded as a return to
the elements Of the world. This was
the error Of the Galatians 10 whom the
Apostle wrote "Ye observe days and
months and times. and years ! am
afraid Of you. lest have bestowed
upon you labor in vain tGal i:i0, ID.
To the Colossians also the Apostle
writes. Let no man therefore judge
YOU in meat. or In drink. or In respect
Of an holiday. or OF the new moon, or
OF tine sabbath which are a shadow
Of things TO come; but the body II
Christ" (Col q 10, 10 The Chris
tian freedom Is thus set forth In the
letter to the Romans. "One man es-
teemeth one day above another; an
other estoemcth every day. Let every
man be fully persuaded In his own mind.
He that regardeth the day regardeth
IL unto the Lord; and he that regardeth
not the day, to the Lord he doeth not
regard IT," (Rom IL. 4-i2J The con
troversy. then, Is entirely irrelevant

fulfilled In the Observance Of one day
out Of seven as the sabbath. and this
Is amply supported by both ancient and

AN EXAMPLE no EMULATE,

The Vatican has done the correct
thing In the matter Of the encyclical -
which the Prussian Chancellor OBJ
tected. Az VIII be- remembered the
document referred 90 the Reformers
and the Reformation I'm terms not
agreeable 10 the German Protestants.
IN reply to the representations Of tho
Chancellor the Roman curia expressed
regret over tho whole affair; repeated
the assurance that the encyclical was
not Intended To- insult neither the Ger
man people nor German Protestants;
instructed the bishops not alone OF
Prussia, but OF an Germany not to
make the cncycllcal known In the do
ccses and. authorized the publication
Of the correspondence
This is complete Withdrawal Of the
offensive document. and amounts to
an apology Go the Protcstants. II shows
that Rome does not deliberately in
suit opponents. even II she believes
they are hcretics. but that she recog-
nizes their right to the enjoyment OF
courtesy and consideration. There are
papers In this free country controlled
by men under the spiritual iurisdic-
ton Of the Vatican, which might profit
by initiating this worthy example Of
IL Christian spirit.
