kidney troubles have gone up TO
167 per cent, and Chicago is down
for an increase of 35 per cent OF
deaths from pneumonia. There are
every day 100000 persons i'll in

This is the grim record that con-
fronts every man, woman and child,

PREACHER UPHOLDS
GAMBLING; ANOTHER
RAPS JACK LONDON

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17,-One
sermon upholding gambling and an
other preached in condemnation of
Jack London's Martin Eden" with
London in the audience without the
minister's knowledge, were heard in
the bay cities yesterday.
The Rev. Fletcher Cook, associate
pastor of the fashionable Trinity Epis-
copal church, is reported to have said;
There is no wrong in taking a
chance. When you run for a street
car it is a chance. Why, I played
poker myself when I went to college.
I have gone to the race track with
members of my congregation and we
all Clipped in and made pool to play
on certain horse to win. If / gamble
with a friend and there is no bitter
ness about the transaction l maintain
that there is no wrong done"
In the First Congregational church,
Oakland, the Rev. c. r. Brown said
that Jack Londons latest published
book, Martin Eden" was an auto
biography of a disappointed material
list. The hero, said Mr. Brown, eX-
planning that he knew the author well,
is London himself.
Referring to the dismal finale where
in Eden browns himself, the clergy
man exclaimed: '1s this Jack London s
last word? 1t looks like a flag of dis
tress and sounds like the sob of lost
soul"
London's presence was not known to
the minister until he had completed
| his sermon, when the choirmaster
tapped him on the shoulder and point
] ed out London in the audience.

Pacific yardmaster, by shooting him

The Associated Press is Informed
that Japan has announced it had no

China and Japan, but will ask that the
Japanese government be permitted to
participate in the enterprise.
The local authorities at Hardin have

This has been undertaken by local
officials there independent of authority

AERO CLUBS CHIEF
courtlandt Field Bishop Declares That
Managers of Great Air Con-
tests Deserve Public
Tribute

America is foremost in the world of
aerial navigation" declared Courtlandt
T. Bishop, president of the Aero club
of America. at a stereopticon lecture on
"Aeronautics" last evening given under
the auspices of the Aero club of Cali
fornia in the hall of the Chamber OF
Commerce building.
Mr.. Bishop, in speaking of the prog
ress which has been made in aeronaut-
les, stated that undoubtedly the Wright
brothers were the first persons to fly
and that they had done more than any
one else toward the progress which has
been made in conquering the air.
THE aviation meet which is being
held in Los Angeles at the present
time" said Mr.. Bishop, "and which is
an immense success, will have a great
deal of effect on the aerial subject and
will be matter of history Too much
credit cannot be bestowed upon those
at the head of the undertaking, as it is
one of the greatest things that ever has
been attempted in this country, and II
is a grand success.
Stereopticon views were shown of the
Wright machines and the earlier mod
els of the Curtiss make, besides views
of foreign aeroplanes, dirigibles and
balloons. Pictures also were shown OF
the international balloon race which
was held last year and which was won
by an American.
Before the arrival of Mr. Bishop
Prof. H. Law. Twining, president of the
Aero club of California, gave a prac-
teal illustration of the effect of q
birds wing on the air when in fight
using the wing of an eagle and flap

Especial to The Herald

OCEAN PARK. Jan. 1.-THE ques-
ton of purchasing steam roller for
the city's streets is bothering the MEM
bers of the board of trustees. From
present indications it is expected that
the matter will be made a campaign
issue this spring ard will subsequently
become a literal tempest in a teapot
Some time ago it was decided to
buy a steam roller. The city has ex-
pended thousands Of dollars for grad
ing and dressing the city streets and
it was thought it would be an eco
nOmical course to pursue to purchase
a steam roller and hire a man 10
operate it. 1t was also understood that
the machine could be rented to con-
tractors when not in use by the city.
The necessary proceedings We're taken
by the trustees and bids are being ad-
vertised to be opened two weeks
from today. All was thought to be
running along smoothly in regard to
the steam roller until Trustee Edward
Horan, latest addition to the board,
came out flatfooted against the pur-
chase of the unWieldy engine. He con-
tends that the trustees have not the
legal right to buy such a machine
without having the citizens vote bonds
for the purpose. He declares that such
a purchase cannot be made out of the
general fund and possesses a letter
from a San Francisco attorney in
which the latter supports his con-
tention.
Final action favoring the purchase
requires a two-thirds vote of the board
which means four out of the five men,
