HAS He Been STUNC?
Mayor Orders the Drawing of an Anti
Bee Ordinance.

From and after the publication of a new
ordinance to be presented to the city COM

The first clause of the ordinance is very
short and to the point: 1T shall be I'M

The penalty proposed is a fine of not
less tan $40 nor more than 500. and it is
specifically provided that the maintenance

Il don't know how many bees are kept
in the city said City Attorney Ralston,
but from the complaints that have come
in there must be a good many.

URGES CONFESSIONAL.
DIR. Charles NJ. Sheldon Also Wants
Protestants United.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 11.-Dr.
Charles NJ. Sheldon, noted Congrega-
tional pastor, lecturer, author and one
of the most enthusiastic workers in the
ranks of the Christian Endeavor hosts,
from the pulpit of DR.. William Horace
Days Congregational church, advo-
Gated the adoption of the confessional
for all Protestant churches.
To the confessional and to the fact
that the Catholic church is under one
head DR., Sheldon ascribed the reason
for the power of the Catholic church
and further, he recommended the
wiping out of all Protestant denomina-
ton lines, and the assemblage of all
churches under one head.
Dr. Sheldon said that he had used
the confessional in his own church in
Topeka, Kan, and had found it a
means to a great good. All sorts and
conditions of applicants had come to
him, he said, knowing that from him
they would receive helpful advice. The
confessions, he asserted, ranged from
marital woes to college troubles and
because they had confided to him,
better results had been obtained than
the confessOrS had expected.
Wiping out OF UNCONVENTIONAL lines,
he further said, would unity the
strength and power for good of the
church.

YESTERDAYS CLOSE.
New York stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, July11.-STOCKS-
The course of stocks during the morning
made it apparent that factors now bear
ing upon the market had spent their
force Although a sagging tendency was
noticeable, declines were so small as to
deprive the movement of significance and
traders expressed the opinion that little
in the way of activity could be expected
until some new influences were brought
to bear. Continued uncertainty over tariff
and currency legislation, threatened strike
of employees of eastern railways and dis
turbed conditions in Europe tend to dis
courage speculative ventures at this time.
Large losses by the banks from sub
treasury operations and gold exports fore
Swallowed another unfavorable bank
statement.
This was reflected in sitter rates for
day to day accommodation. Call money
opened higher at pa per cent
Bonds were easy.
The drift of prices was downward when
trading began today. Reading, behlgh
and Erie were fractionally higher, but the
other active issues sold off. With the
exception of Canadian Pacific, which de-
clined nearly a point, losses were limited
to small fractions. C. and o. at 51A and
New York Central at $685., touched new
low records for the year.
