Elks Gather.

Fresno, Sept. 30.-Between 300 and
400 Elks, representing lodges from
Stockton to Bakersfield, gathered III
Riverview today to hold their annual
''high jinx." The usual ball game,
fat mans race, three-legged race and
other sports were introduced, includ-
ing a big barbecue and an all-day
liquid refreshment "bust." Much ex-
citement was caused when two dark
les were detected stealing an auto
mobile.
George Post Of the Fresno lodge
was "shot" with a blank cartridge, and
the negroes captured by innocent
Elks who were not in on the joke.
Last evening big meeting of the
San Joaquin valley Elks was held in
the Fresno lodgeroom. Those who
spoke from the state were James
Egan and w. H. Carter of Bakers
field, George Bertram of Modesto, N.

ton. Richard Bonell was recon-
mended to Mr.. Comiskey and Nc
Graw as a gentleman that had pilot
ed chautauqua and Sunday school
parties around the world. Arrange
ments were made with him to go
ahead and arrange all details for the
tourists in foreign countries: this
gentleman is now in Japan arrang-
ing for the trip. 1t is expected that
the party in its entirety will reach
100, which number will include the
two ball teams. The tourists will
leave Chicago on or about October
10, and will leave Vancouver, B. c.,
for foreign countries on a palatial
steamer on November 10. The train
that will leave Chicago with the ball
players and their friends will be a
special one, and will be decorated
with the flags of all countries where
they are to exhibit Americas national
game.
While the two teams are en- route
crossing the American continent for
the Pacific coast, they will play in
all the cities that ,have booked a
game of the Giants and Sox, and all
those cities and towns where the
teams are to play will be exhibited
abroad on a map and booklet to show
the people of foreign countries the
itinerary of the two ball teams from
the time they left Chicago. Comis-
key and McGraw are doing every
thing to make the tour of the world
creditable to the United States, and
they are fully patriotic to leave
nothing undone to give the trip a
dignifed bearing.
From the authentic accounts from
foreign countries, Americas game
has already taken some root, espec-
tally in Japan and France, and the
visit from the two great ball teams
from America-from its two largest
cities-and led by the games greatest
sportsmen, namely Charles Comiskey
and John J. McGraw, will not fail to
! give the game an impetus that will
be far reaching and lasting in those
countries. The cities in the United
States that have closed for a game
with the two ball teams, while they
are en- route to California, are pre-
pared to give the tourists a grand
: send-off on their circuit of the globe
Some of the towns will make an
afternoon holiday on the day of the
game, and the mayor and council

Must Shuttle Off
Steamship Lines

Washington, Sept. 30-A tremeu-
dous dislocation Of the transportation
system of the United States is prom
ised when the Panama canal act of
1911 enters into effect.
By this act all railroads engaged
in interstate commerce must divest
themselves of competing steamship
lines on or before July l next, eX-
cept in 50 far as they may be per
mitted to retain those lines in the
public interest.
In the hope Of securing such per
mission, the Pennsylvania Railroad
company has applied for authority to
continue in possession of the water
carriers of the Great Lakes. The
Southern Pacific, which is controlled
by the Pennsylvania, will make like
application with reference to its yes
sells plying between New York, New
Orleans and Galveston and along the
Pacific coast. President Elliott of th
New York, New Haven & Hartfo, Il
informed Commissioner Marble thai
his road will seek to retain control Of
the steamers it operates in New Eng

owning water properties probably will
endeavor to hold them through "A

$30O,000 Fire in
A Big Warehouse

Los Angeies, Sept. 30-Fire last
night destroyed the warehouse of Bar
ker Bros, furniture dealers, located ut
Palmetto and Ell Molino streets, en-
failing a loss of more than $25O,0C0
on the contents and $4,000 on the
building.
Insurance to the amount of 80 per
cent of the loss is said to have been
carried on the structure and its con-
tents.
The first alarm was sounded at
5:25 o'colck when smoke was motto I'll
coming from the second floor of the
building. All the downtown appara-
tus answered the call, but in less
than fifteen minutes from the time
the first smoke was seen the entire
warehouse was mass of flames.
How the fire started no one seems
to know. The building was not
equipped with the usual sprinklers,
and at the time the fire broke out
there was but one person in the
building, the night and day, watch
men just changing shifts.
For more than an hour the flames
were beyond control of the firemen,
and for a time it was thought that
other buildings nearby would be laid
in ruins. Shortly before 7 o'clock
the walls of the warehouse fell, and
sparks and tongues of flames were
shot higher into the skies and the
burning embers fell on the roofs OF
the adjoining buildings.

Giants and ''SoX"
Are Going Abroad

Chicago, Sept. 30-In view of the
wide interest in the worlds tour to
be made by the Giants and White
Sox, Ted Sullivan, managing direc-
tor of the trip, has given out some
facts regarding previous jaunts taken
by American teams.
Foreign countries have been visit
ed twice by major league ball clubs
in the past. The first trip was made
in 1874, by the Boston and Philadel-
phia Athletics of the National league.
A. G. Spalding crossed over to Eng
land in the winter of that year and
made all arrangements for the trip
of the two clubs. This trip of the
ball players was made to great Brit
ain only, and their fine physical ap-
pearance and gentlemanly deport-
ment while in England made a great
impression on the English people.
The second trip to foreign lands
took place in November Of 1888. The
teams were composed of the Chicago
National league club under the pres
idency OF A. G. Spalding and captain
ship Of A. C. Anson, and teams that
were to oppose them on the trip were
players that were selected from the
National league and American asso-
citation by John NJ. Ward. This was
an around the world trip going by the
way Of Australia and home by the
way Of Great Britain. In the last
six years John McGraw of the New
York Giants, and Charles Comiskey
president of the Chicago White SoX
had in their mind the plan of touring
the world and duplicating the trip OF
Spalding, and they have now decided
to do ito do it on a grander scale
taking in on this trip Japan, China
and the Philippines. After Australia
they will go through the Suez canal
then on to Egypt, Italy, Austria
France, Germany and Great Britain
which includes England, Ireland anC
Scotland.
The present trip plan was consum-
mated last January, when Mr.. Nc
Graw was in Chicago. He then met
Mr.. Comiskey and after consulta
ton the machinery was put into &C.

Sttirs the Nations
(3y I'd / keen)
2London Correspondent of the United
Press.)

Press.)
London, Sept. 3G-When the case
Of Mendel Bells, Jew, is called in the
district court at Keiff on October 3.
the Russian government will in effect
place itself on trial before the
world. 1t will be compelled to prove
its "blood accusation" or stand cor
victed of the most. heinous conspiracy
attempted by nation against the
Jewish race since the days Of the
PharaohS.
The charge is that Bells, either
with the connivance or with the actual
operation of a band of Jews, slew d
Christian boy and drained his blood
for use in making passover bread. For
two and half years the government
has been working on this so-callei
ritual murder" case, which, as soon
as the crime was discovered was
, seized upon by the Black Hundred
:; and other reactionary Russian organi-
cations as the basis for a fierce cam
paign Of persecution of the Jews
throughout Russia.
"Find the Jew was the cry that
went up among the strongly anti
Semitic population of Kieff on the
morning of April l, 1911, when the
body Of 12-year-old Andrei Yuschin-
sky, bearing Al stab wounds appar-
emily made by an awl or chisel, was
discovered in an abandoned brick kiln
in a yard on the outskirts of the cit.y.
Bells was the foreman of the brick
yard. Bells was also Jew. He was
arrested Despite the reports of va
rious detectives that they could find no
substantial evidence that it was a
ritual murder" or Bells, the mur-
derer, he was indicted. M. Krass-
ovsky, chief of the detective depart
ment of Kieff, was peremptorily dis
missed for ignoring the lines of search
pointed out to him by the crown pros
ecutor-which was to find the Jew
Mistchouk, who succeeded him, and
two of his assistants, were not only
dismissed from office but were tried
and convicted of manufacturing
false evidence" favorable to the Jews
and against a band of thieves e
whom they believed they had traced
the crime. The three detectives were
sentenced to years hard labor each
I Bells was, and is, really mino1
factor in the case. The authorities
have from the first devoted their ener.
! gies principally to the attempt tc
prove that the ritual murder" is 9
recognized institution of the Jewish
faith. When the Kieff detectives
were on trial evidence was giver
showing that Prosecutor Brandorf re-
fused to listen to any other theory
Imperial Valley press., 1913-09-30

' than that of ritual murder and re-
peatedly ordered the officers to drop
all other clues. In order to establish
the theory that the Jews slay Chris
ton children and drain their blood,
distributing it from synagogus to syn
agogus, for the purpose of mixing if
with passover bread, and that this
"rite'is prescribed by the Talmud-
the Jewish Bible-M. Feneko, the e;l-
amining magistrate, interrogated the
Archimandrite Ambrosius,, vicar Of
the Greek monastery at Kieff, wlo
claimed that the "rite" has been de-
scribed to him by two monks who were
formerly of the Jewish faith. "The
wounds must be of a certain fixed
number, about As" declared Ambro3-
ius, land they must be inflicted upon
certain parts of the body. A Jew is
not bound to observe any rites or
forms if he has to procure the blood
under difficult conditions; but if
there is no danger the blood is shed
in conformity with the prescribed rit-
ual, which includes the reading of
certain prayers by rabbi, the pray
ers to be concluded while the victim
is still alive and the blood is ooZing
from his body"
Professor SikorSky, of the St. Nlad-
imar University of kieff, who was
examined as an expert" by Fen
enko, denied the possibility of the
Yuschinsky murder having been conf
mitted by madman, as alleged by
the defense, and supported the rit-
ual theory. "The psychological basis
of crimes of this type must be sought
/ in racial revenge, or in the vendetta
|. of the Sons of Jacob" said the pro-
fessor. Neither knew anything about
Bells or about the murder of Yus-
chinsky directly, yet it was upon their
testimony and that of priest nance d
Pranaitis, who claimed to have pos
tive knowledge of the Jewish dog
ma of blood" that this wholesale in
dictment of the Jewish race was
drawn up.
The responsibility of the central
government, at St. Petersburg for
the anti-Jewish activities Of the local
Kieff authorities is unquestioned. The
public prosecutors, Brandorf and
Chaplinsky, have not taken single
step of Importance throughout Their
entire conduct Of the case without
consulting M. Stcheglovitoff, the min
lister of justice, and each has made
numerous trips to the capital for per-
Z sonal conferences with him. When
the ritual murder" charge was first
! brought forward an emphatic pro-
test was filed with the government by
leading members of the duma and
other public men of Russia-not men,
bers of the Jewish race. From there
the agitation spread throughout Ell
rope In Austria, Germany and
France the case was taken up by med
ico-legal experts who emphatically
condemned the "blood accusation" as
not only baseless but ridiculous. In
England especially the case has
aroused tremendous interest owing lo

Making an Argument Against
Woman Suffrage.

Enemies of votes for women, in
search of arguments to confound the
orators of the cause, may use for what
1t is worth the following incident
which happened in Madison square
one day last week:
A young woman of pleasing and pic
turesque aspect came northward from
Twenty-third street across the square
She struggled under the weight of
dog-hamper, and inside one could see
a bright-eyed, restless fox terrier, ca
ger to be let out. The woman carried
leash in her left hand, and the dog
had on collar with a snap. An in
terested observer followed the woman.
She struggled on six blocks up Madi-
son avenue before she reached her
destination, residence on the east
side of the street. Then she unlocked
the hamper, snapped the leash on the
dogs collar, and took him inside the
house. Why had she carried an able
bodied, 25-pound fox terrier, who want
ed to be let out, all that distance?-
