THREATEN LIFE OF
GENEVIEVE CLEVES
Woman Who Is to Expose Methods of
Fake Mediums Receives Letters
"* of Warning — Will Give
Exhibition
Spiritualists In Los Angeles were much
exercised yesterday when it was learned
threats had been made to do serious
<>ersonal injury to Miss Genevleve
CleveH, who is to expose the work of
fakers and spook raisers at Simpson
auditorium tomorrow and Thursday
nights in her entertainment entitled
"Death of Modern Spiritualism."
The open challenges made by Miss
Cleves to all the Ho-called spirit mediums
in Los Angeles and also to Anna Eva
Fay, whom the former declares posed
for thirty years as a spirit medium all
over the country, to come_ to Simp
son auditorium cither tomorrow or
Thursday evening and prove any one of
them could do anything by spirit or oc
cult power, and if tluy could, Miss
cy l r es would forfeit one thousand dol
itJ k to Anna Eva Fay and one thousand
d/ (lavs to each medium who could prove
tf'e possession o£ spirit power, brought
d srnay to the hearts of the fakers and
2 ook raisers.
'Anna Eva Fay denies she ever pre
tended to be a spirit medium.
The spirit mediums in Los Angeles
viewed the challenges of Miss Cleves
with alarm, for they realized that with
the exposure of the cabinet work, slate
writing, card reading and ballot tests, to
be maie by Miss Cleves at Simp
auditorium, the source of income to the
takers and spook raisers would be shut
off.
Finds Threatening Letters
Yesterday morning Miss Cleves found
two letters at the door of her rooms, and
they contained the direst threats if Miss
Cleves publicly exposed the tricks of the
fakers and spook raisers. The letters
were anonymous, one being signed "A
Medium," while the other was signed
"Revenge."
Miss Cleves was not alarmed by the
threatening letters and declined to take
the advice of friends that she ask for
police protection.
"This is nothnig new to me," said
MI3S Cleves in speaking of the threats
1 made against her. "I am not afraid in
| the least, "she continued, "and will give
I my entertainments Tuesday and Thurs-
Vday nights as announced. I have been
¦threatened before In other cities, and on
Ane occasion in Chicago, a poisoned box
candy was sent me. I have only
j^B'.sented to give my entertainments
¦c at the urgent request of prominent
H^^kple who are trying to stamp out the
work of the fakers.
hundreds of thousands of fapirit-
1 want to see the fakers put out
for they work fearful harm
communities, i
have been informed that In Los
HKngeles one hundred and seventy-two
• divorces have been filed In the past year,
due entirely to the evil advice of bogus
mediums.
' Cause Much Misery
"It Is awufl to contemplate the misery
that Is wrought by those mediums and
fakers. Homes are wrecked, children
separated from their parents and mon
ey filched frcun those who have worked
hard to make a competency for old age.
"One case occurred In Arizona recent
ly where a woman left her husband on
the advice of a swindling medium and
faker, and then she was Induced by the
man to Invest twelve thousand dollars
in a bogus mine he owned. That woman
Is now in Los Angeles trying to get a
divorce, and nothing one can tell her will
make her realize she has been duped.
"There are many cases also where
married people are leaving their lawful
mates to consort with 'affinities,' and do
so by the so-called spirit power of fak
ing mediums.
"I know of another case here In Los
Angeles where a man was induced to get
a divorce from his wife and an "affinity'
was foisted upon him by the aid of a
medium In order to get control of his
money.
"It Is no use telling people who believe
in the fakers they are be|ng duped.
They always say 'Give me the proofs.'
"In my entertainment, 'Death of Mod
ern Spiritualism,' 1 will duplicate rill the
tricks performed by so-called mediums
and also by Anna Eva Fay, and will
then show my audiences, and a commit
tee how the tricks are done. When
persons who believe in the mediums see
how the tricks are accomplished, they
will at once realize how they have, been
duped. My challenge to Anna Eva Fay
remains open for her to prove that she
is controlled by spirit power or disprove
that she ever posed as a medium
throughout the country and made con
siderable by it."

"SET UP MILESTONES Oh
LIFE'S PATH," SAYS PASTOR
Mark Every Anniversary, So Those
Who Follow May Profit, Advises
Rev, Dr. Henry at First
Baotist Church
"Milestones for the New Year" was
Dr. Henry's topic at the First Baptist
church last night.
"Some one has said every anniversary
is a milestone from where to where,"
he said. "Life Is a pilgrimage and there
are two ways over which men travel
from the cradle to the grave. One is evil
and broad; the other is holy and nar
row and leads to everlasting life.
"The injunction of the text Is to erect
milestone along life's highway, not.
'only to indicate the progress we have
made, but to guide and direct those who
follow us upon the way. There Is a
highway of holiness, v new anil living
way that has been opened up from earth
to heaven and from the soul to the
Saviour of men.
"This Is so plain that a wayfaring
man, though a fool, need not err thero
ln. It is accompanied with the way
marks of salvation. These signboards
are so significant that every individual
who passes them may infallibly know
that he Is on the way from earth, to
heaven.
"Standing upon the threshold of a new
year, with a heart full of holy, resolve
and heavenly aspiration, it can only be
profitable for us to contemplate person
ally and prayerfully some of these guide
posts in the way of God and glory.
First of these waymarlts is genuine re
pentance toward God.
"True repentance implies not only a
knowledge and a confession of sin but
a positive forsaking of all known moral
evil. Jt means that we should 'cease to
do evil;' that we should cut short all
sin in righteousness. The only infallible
test of a Godly repentance Is the per
sonal and promt abandonment of wrong
doing.
"As we enter upon the new year the
first requirement of every Individual life
is that the black, broken and guilty
past shall be adequately dealt with. God
stands ready and pledged to do this upon
the sole ground that we are willing to
part company with our transgressions
and to -surrender all known sin."

BURGLARY INSURANCE MEN ARE
' PUSHING PURSUIT
Roundup of Guilty Men, Who Are Ex.
perts in Changin- 1 Appearance
of Machines, Looked
for Soon
Through the untiring ettorta of num
bers of the Southern Detective agir.c y, ;m
organized gang of automobile thieves
whleh linn b.en ope.nting in the Vicinity
of Los Anf'eles during the last year will
soon be disrupted, and it i« probable many
of the memberH will be brought face to
face with long prison terms.
For some lime Drlvate detective* have
been engager! si-sklim evidence against
certain men suspected of being connected
with this gang, 'luring "te l»-t three
wfen tin.v have had luffloieni evldenoa
to convict levefal of tn« mm. but <lid not
swear out eomplalht*. hoping to gain still
'more evidence, and have a sure cu?u when
the men were. brought to trial.
festerday morning they decided every
thing was In readli ess, and one man, Jo
seph Lelnin, suspected or being connected
with the gang, wiih arrested and taken
to the central station, where he is ttlll
held.
It Is the Intention of the detectives to
take intn custod] today other members
of <he gang, which numbers neariy a
dozen, and il Is thought the thefts of
automobile, Which have been so numer
ous In the past, wll". cease.
Fine Machine Stolen
During the last three months some of
Ihe finest automobiles In U>« Angeles
have been stolen, and tne system under
which the thieves worked was so perfect
the authorities were powerless to capture
them.
Under cover of darkness a machine
would be stolen and tirlvpn to some se
cluded spot a uhort distance from the
city. There another automobile, which
had been secured in the seme manner,
would be waiting.
Some of the members of the gang are
finished mechanics, and they would quick
ly interchange parts of the vehicles, and
when their work was finished the owners
would have been unalbe to identify their
property.
It is believed a number of sto'.en auto
mobiles are being rented every day in the
heart of the city. The thieves being so
confident of their ability to escape detec
tion, they run them into the city some
after making the changes.
The man now confined in the Jail is
said to have admitted to the police taking
a machine from 1401 Alvarado street a
week ago, and it was on a warrent sworn
to by M. W. Everhardy, the owner, that
he was arrested.
It Is said several members of the gang
recently arrived here from the east, com
ing to 'Los Angeles with the irtention of
carrying on the tnefts.

RAILROAD NEWS
Beginning January 1 many changes will
be made in the service of the Los Angeles
street railway system. Among others are
the following:
Pico Heights line— Every other car will
turn back at Wilton place, alternate
cars going through to Delaware place,
until 8 p. m., after -which hour all cars
will run through. Through cars will carry
the same board as at present. Others
will carry the same and also deck boards
reading "Wilton place.'\
Boyle Heights line — Cars that now stop
at Blmlnl baths will run through to
Western and Melrose, via Fourth street
and Western avenue. West end lower
deck signs will read "Bimini hot springs";
upper deck signs "Western avenuo."
During the present year the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern has been doing
some extensive work In the construction
of track troughs on Us main line between
Chicago and Buffalo, and it now has
eleven such water stations where the
locomotives can scoop up water while
going at forty to sixty miles an hour.
These troughs are placed about fifty
miles apart. They are 2000 feet long,
about two feet wide and six inches deep,
and they cost approximately $100,000 each.
The high cost Is due to the fact that the
'ground must be excavated six to eight
feet, the bottom filled with large stone.
and then with smaller stone and liner
material above, so that this portion of
the track is thoroughly drained and not
liable to heave In freezing weather. The
water is supplied by gravity from large
tanks situated near by, and these are
supplied by pumps from wells or adjpln-
Ing streams. The water must bo warmed
In large boilers to prevent freezing In the
troughs. The supply pipes are large, so
that the troughs will fill quickly, and,
are equipped with automatic valves,
which shut off when full. While the ten
ders hold 8000 gallons of water, the
amount taken from itte trough is usually
3000 to 4000 gallons.
Right you are, Alonzo; the fountain
plays because the water works.— Chicago

"CHILDREN OF GOD" IS
DR. SMIIHER'S TOPIC
Pastor of First Christian Church Says
Development of Offspring of Man
Was Ultimate Purpose
of Savior
.yi i the J First 'i; Christian, church ; yes
tertlay morning the Rev. A. C. Smlthtfr
preached upon ' "ing Children j of : God"
from the words of Jesus:.' "As many al
received! him, to them gave he the right
to becomu the children of God." He said
in part:
"The ultimate purpose of. the coming of
Jesus was that the children of men might
become the children of God. , This ; was
the culminating gift of a series running
through all the ages. :¦•/'¦ " ¦¦_. •.•'••¦'¦ .' ,
¦. "The ; world was lirst spoken into exist
ence. In the evolutionary process of
God's creative methods life was bestowed
upon the world— lire,' mineral, .vegetable
and animal. i ,
"After another' period I man became a
living ; soul, ' had V the S breath' of life
breathed Into him,, and was made In the
likeness, of God. After a lon', period of
growth . and ¦ development I Jesus | comes to
the race with a new. 'gift, for man; came,
to open to him a new door, to signal him
to • serener heights than t he had | hitherto
attained. .' /¦•'.> ¦ ¦'¦',' ¦¦-•'.'.¦'¦
"In ('hrist man reaches the acme of
earthly attainments. In him he comes to
hi* majority, tv tho possession of his
rights. This new change In man Is
brought about by a new birth, a spiritual
birth, and wrought by God. This birth
Is not of blood, nor of ancestral rights.
It is not of the flesh, the will or device
of man. This birth Is possible only to
those who believe In Jesus Christ. Un
belief closes the gate to promotion In this
realm.
Defines Change
"In another place the Great Teacher
defines this change as a birth of the
water and the spirit begetting new life
in the soul, while emergence of the body
In Christian baptism constitutes the birth.
Such a With brings great blessings, great
promotion to one who has entered Into
this high fellowship.
"Following the birth man enters Into
his normal, natural life and relations.
He becomes a. partaker of the divine na
ture. He enters Into the fellowship of
the family of God. He receives the Holy
Spirit, who becomes a sanctifying Influ
ence within him. He comes into a new
relation of trust and confidence before
God and walks before him in love and
service.
"To become a child of God Is to enter
into new relations and consequently Into
new obligations. God has entrusted
much of his business to his children.
Like their great teacher, they must be
about their father's business. The great
agency through which he works Is his
church, which Is the body of Christ. No
man Is a true child of God who does not
find his place in his father's family. In
the church, and in God's work carried on
through that means."

SIX HEADS TO
DROP IN BASKET
HEALTH OFFICE GUILLOTINE TO
FaLL
Priilk, Meat, Restaurant and Lodging
House Branches ta Suffer — Dr.
Smith's Appointment
Held Up |
I In si. He sons through six Inspectors
In the health department are scheduled
to lose their places today— two milk, one
meat, two restaurant and one lodging
house Inspectors. /
The original plan was to drop n/ne,
but the resignations of two are expected,
and the failure of a third to pass the civil
service examination will put him out ot
the reckoning.
There Is no Immediate prospect of a
second assistant health officer being
named, as Dr. Arthur Smith, the slate
nominee, has the undivided opposition ot
the board of healti:. This may prevent
his confirmation by the council.
Th< board parts with the services of
the Inspectors grudgingly, as the mem
horn feel that there is work for all, and
more, but since the ultimatum has been
given by the finance committee to cut
expenses, the reduction is acquiesced in
under protest.
One of the new reforms proposed Is
that all employes be Instructed to call
up the health office by telephone several
times a day. If this is done possibly a
telephone clerk will be installed at head
quarters, as William McGlll, who looks
after the financial business, and Henry
Sief, who does the statistical work, have
their hands full all day and their work
does not lend Itself readily to the hun
dreds of telephonic interruptions. Secre
tary Hugh M. Love is expected to do
much of tho outside work of the board,
which keeps him from the office at ir
regular intervals.
When the department's finances ars
more encouraging the commissioners hope
to be able to Install a stenographer in
the health ofilcc and Health Officer L.
M. Powers will then be relieved of the
necessity of making scores of personal
visits, as he does now, day and night, on
cases which require expert sanitary and
medical knowledge, of which he Is an
acknowledged authority.
"SHADOWS AND ECHOES"
SUBJECT OF SERMON
Rev. Robert J. Burdette Preaches In.
teresting Sermon to Large Con.
gregation at Temple Bap.
tist Church
At the Temple Baptist church yes
terday the pastor, Robert J. Burdette,
preached on the topic "Shadows and
Echoes," taking for .his text "For we
are but of yesterday, and know noth
ing, because our days upon earth are
a shadow."
"We are accustomed to connect
shadows with gloom and sadness," he
said. "We think of the 'solemn shades
of endless night,' we associate 'shades'
with ghosts of the departed; there Is
a certain gloomy terror In the world.
'Shadows tonight' cries the guilty kind,
'have struck more terror to the soul
of Richard than can the substance of
10,000 soldiers.' 'Let us seek out some
desolate shade' moans Malcom, 'and
there weep our sad bosoms empty.'
"But always the shadow proves a
light. It declares a substance. It
defines form. It emphasizes solidity
and depth. It carries the long per
spective beyond sense into the bound
less of imagination. And the shadows
may be beautiful, even as they are
beautiflers of the day and the world.
"As I look out of my study windows
my eyes rest upon the Sierras. It is
noontide, and sunshine floods the
mountains with radiance. But it de
stroys much of their beauty and gran
deur and Impressive sublimity. The
great range Is simply an enormous
wall; the serrated sky-line fades Into
the light, blending with the skies that
veil its sharpness with the very In
tensity of the sunshine.
Sun Calls Forth Shadows
"But wait — the descending sun calls
forth the shadows from their noontime
hiding places. Every canon Is painted
darkly against the light; every hill
lifts Itself boldly; every trail gleams
clearly against the climbing shadows,
cool and quiet and tranquil, the unseen
valleys, unseen when flooded with the
noontide, nestle against their encirc
ling mountains; the foothills, scarce
distinguishable from the valley levels
in the blinding light now lift them
selves in the. beauty of dark green or
ange groves and the dove gray orna
ture of the olive orchards above the
spreading plains; crag and peak, witn
the glow of the sunset on their faces
and the twilight shadows thrown like
cloaks of sable around their massy
shoulders rise like giants from their
couches; the whole range, clear as a
cameo cutting, stands out against the
opal of the evening heavens mountains
and monuments of God.
"For the shadows are gray and blue
and green and black and purple.
Tower and battlement arise in grace
and majesty; profound depths of black
ness outline the trails of changing
light; a sunset tint like an opening
rose touches the stony face of a cliff
with beautiful tenderness. How royal
in their beauty are the mountains
when the shadows come to robe them
in their garments of splendor and
jewels of glory, to watch the king of
the day pass on Into his throne room
In the west, and sec the queen of the
night enter Into her realm with all
tho starry battalions making her reign
glorious wtth the majesty of night ana
calm.
World Beautiful
"How tame and flat the world of
beauty would be without Its shadows!
Such are the shadows which glorify
our lives; that make our yesetrdays
beautiful.
"These are the somber shadings of
sorrow: these the hard lines of bitter
disappointments; here the gray
touches of lonollness; this shadow fell
from a passing cloud of doubt; this Is
a mist-cloud of perplexity; this a dull,
blinding fog-bank of unbelief; this
was a storm of agony in. some sore
bereavement; this was a dust-rago
blown in from the desert by the resf
lecs winds.
"Now look back at them as the sun
goes down In glory. How soft and
tender are the blending shadows,
kissed by the sunset into gray and
purple, gold and rose.
"How tlm love of God transfigures
the shadows that fell across the way
of our pilgrimage. In his vision of
heaven John saw 'a great multitude
which no man could number, out of
(-very notion and of all tribes and
peoples- nnd tongues, nrrayorl in White
ro brs' — so dazzllngly white — their
whiteness was radiantly splendid even
In that land of shadowleas light. And
thrso were they that came out of great
tribulation and had made their robes
white by washings in blood."
