WARN TEACHERS
TO BE CAUTIOUS
Interior Department Officials Make
Statement of Interest to Peda
gogues with Eyes on
Government Land
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 12.— Tho Interior
department is receiving a flood of in
quiries regarding the effect of a recent
decision of the department relative to the
rights of school teachers In the matter
of taking up public lands under the home
stead law.
The decision was rendered in a contest
made against the entry of a woman
teacher employed In Minnesota, and whlln
it was shown that she had lived upon
the land only during her vacations, cov
ering only about fourteen weeks, for each
of the four years, sne held It, the depart
ment failing to sustain the contestant.
This holding has been construed
throughout the public land states as
equivalent to a declaration mat teachers
may be permitted to inako homestead en
tries and to make final proof without com
plying with the requirements made of
other applicants, and the large number o£
letters received upon the question prom
ißes numerous entries under that con
struction.
Construction False
Acting Secretary of tne Interior Wood
ruff and Acting Commissioner Dennett of
the general land office today united in a
statement that the decision has received a
construction which was not contemplated
by the department.
They call attention to the fact that the
decision did not apply to a commutation
case, but to a case in which the appli
cant had held w.p land for four or live
years required by law. They point out
that the decision was not final and that
It dealt with the rights of the contestant
rather than those of the contestee, merely
holding that the Improvements were ade
quate, but not attempting to say whether
title will be granted at the end of five
years if the proof shows- only five weeks'
occupancy for each year.
They therefore warn teachers that dis
appointment Is liable to be the fate of
those who may attempt to secirre land by
living on it only during vacation time,
especially or those who attempt to secure
It under such plan with the commutation
feature added.

One hundred and sixty thousand of a total

The examination of President Scott was

Francisco in disguise to Manila, gave him
a position there with a telephone company
of which Glass is president and also
caused him to be carried on the pay rolls

that Scott would testify to was that Hal-

NO STATUTE AGAINST
DRAWING FORTIFICATIONS
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. July 12.— Officials of
the Judge advocate general's office said
today they did not recall any statute
covering the act of an individual who
may be detected making drawings of a
fort or other government buildings in a
military reservation.
The officers said, however, that such
reservations are subject to such regula
tions as the secretary of war may
promulgate. Any one on a reservation
Without the right to lie there, if found
doing something the regulations forbid,
is liable to ejectment or any other punish
ment provided. These observations were
suggested as a result of the reported ar
rest of a Japanese at Fort Rosecrans.
California, while engaged in making draw
ings of the defenses there.
Major Gatchell has not yet reported
such an arrest to the war department,
and the Japanese emhassy officials say
they have no information regarding the
arrest of one of their countrymen for
drawing plans of Fort Rosecrans.

2420 CANDIDATES
TAKEN INTO ORDER
FRATERNAL BROTHERHOOD
HAS INITIATION
Largest Class Ever Taken Into Any
Organization at One Time Is
Introduced to the
Mysteries
Candidates to tho mimlicr of MM
were initiated into the Fratcrmil Brother
hood at Temple Auditorium last nißht be
fore an audience which packed thai
spacious Riitherinß place to its capacity.
The class Is said to be the largest ever
initiated at one time into any fraternal
organization in the world. When the can
didates, who were seated in the body of
the house, stood up in response to Su
preme President Foshay's request, it
looked as thouKh the entire audience was
seeklns admission Into the order. Prom
the stapre,/ where officials of the eighteen
local lodges and of the supreme lodge were
seated, came a mighty cheer, which was
answered with a will from the aud
itorium. The candidates remained stand
ing while they were formally welcomed
into the brotherhood by Supreme Presi
dent Foshay and Past Supreme President
List. They then resumed their seats.
The enormous increase in membership
came as the result of a campalßn which
Opened hist April and closed at midnight
Thursday. Prizes were offered to the
Icmlkcs and individuals who secured the
greatest number of new members. From
the first the race was close, and until the
awards were made last night none but
the supreme lodge officials knew who were
the victors. For the purposes of the con
test the lodges were divided into three
classes, based on membership.
Awards of Prizes
In clnss A Los Angeles lodge No. 1 won
the prize, heating out Hermosa lodge by a
narrow margin. The winning lodge was
presented with a handsome silver loving
cup by the supreme president. An Ameri
can flag, offered as the prize in class B,
went to Golden State lodge and was pre
sented by Mrs. E. R. Neidig, supreme vice
president, to President McCall of the local
organization. Mrs. Neidig, in making the
presentation, delivered a tine apostrophe
to the colors, declaring that they repre
sented the finest Ideal in government, an
ideal for which thousands had fought and
died with a smile on their lips. The prize
in class C, a woman's watch, was pre
sented by Supreme Secretary Davis, who
had stipulated that it should go to the in
dividual in the winning lodge who had
secured the greatest number of members
for that lodge. Boyle Heights lodge proved
the victor and the watch was awarded to
Mrs. M. E. Hollis.
In presenting the loving cup Supreme
President Foshay played a little joke on
his auditors. No one, outside of the su
preme lodge officials and the tellers who
had compiled the returns, knew which
lodge had won the race, and President
Foshay kept them in suspense for several
minutes while he presented the trophy
with much verbiage to "class A," to "a
lr.dge in class A." and to "a certain lodge
in class A." Finally he invited Sirs. M.
L. Goron to step forward. Mis. Goron
is organizer for Los Angeles lodge No. 1
and her appearance was the signal for an
enthusiastic outburst of applause. The
secret was a sc -ret no longer. The audi
ence knew Los Angeles lodge had won.
In her turn Sirs. Goron presented the cup
to D. A. Schweitzer, president of the
lodge. It will be kept in the lodge room.
Eighteen Lodges Represented
Lodges represented on the Auditorium
slake last night were Star, Fraternity,
Vernon, Laurel, Angelus, Los Angeles
No. 1, Pico, West (late, Artifex. Wash

Los Angeles. Sunshine, Golden State,

and women, were present from Los An

lodges. The Rainier drill team from Seat
tle, Wash., also was present. This team
was to have given an exhibition drill, but
the program was long and the drill was
omitted for that reason. The team, how
ex or. will drill in competition with the
local teams at Playa del Rey today,
where the brotherhood will hold a picnic.
SpeakerE at the meeting last night in
cluded, In addition to officials of the or
ganization. Dr. N. C. Schaeffer of Harris
burg. Pa., former president for two years
of th" National Educational association
and superintendent of public instruction
in his home statK Dr. SchaefTcr told of
how the meaning of the word "brother
hood" had been brought home to him on
a certain night in London.
"There was In the party." he said, "a
Turk from Armenia who did not under
stand any language I knew, yet the Higns
of a fraternal organization to which we
both belonged impressed upon us both
our common brotherhood. In the party
also was a fire worshiper from India and
a Chinese. We were all brothers together,
and that night gave me a feeling of the
universal brotherhood of man which has
never departed from me.
Meaning of "Brotherhood"
"I want to tell you how this word
brotherhood attained its present signifi
cance. On fVie day of the resurrection
Mary Magdalene, out of whom, tradition
iclis us, .lesns had cast seven devils, was
made Christ's messenger, She was hade
to 'go tn my brethren and tell (hem I am
ascended to on:- Father In heaven.'
"The idea of the brotherhood of man,
thua conceived, revolutionized the world.
What is it that makes life worth living'
Is It money? The man who is rich can
buy a fine house, but he cannot buy a
happy home. It Isn't position, wraith.
fame or glory; it isn't even science or lit
erature. The highest relations in life
are the personal relations— brotherhood—
the relation of one human being to an
other. By tills I do not mean to despise
money. Money is well enough, in Its way.
[t enables us, perhaps, to care for our
brother when he may need care.
"Which is the richer man— the man
with seven children or the man with
$100,000? That question was put to me
one day by one of my children. Mine is
a home in which there are seven children
and when Mrs. Schaeffer goes to the door
she is often asked if her father. is at
home, she looks so young. Of course,
the old man always hears of that, too.
Now, in answer to that question I said,
of course, that the man with seven chil
dren was the richer. Then came the
school room query. 'Why?' and daddy
was stumped. I asked my little daughter
why she thought the man with seven
children was the richer and quick as a
flash came the answer: 'Because the man
with $100,000 always wants more, while
the man with the seven children "
Laughter interrupted the end of the an
ecdote. When it had subsided Dr. Schaef
fjr continued:
The Basis of All Happiness
"When my friend. President Foshay,
asked me to address the Fraternal
Brotherhood and explained that it was a
fraternal Insurance* organization, I ac
ceftted at once, because from my p.ilnt of

Its motto three Lntin words. Translated
they mean 'May it live, may it grow, may

In e»slng Dr. Schaeffer paid a tribute
to his friend, President Foshay. nnd
apoln Expressed his host wishes for the
snrross of the brotherhood. Ho was fol
lowed by the Pasadena drill team of
young women, who performed numerous
intricate land difficult marchlnß evolu
tions, the audience applauding them
roundly.
The formal initiation of the hip rlnss
came e«rly In the meeting. Stiprtine

Of the stiico and requested the candl

and even President Foshay seemed sur

"I once heard a colored preacher," he
began, "who started off his sermon

Assets of Organization
"The prreat insurance companion often

asspts. It is said that when a stranppr
asked a certain famous Spartan g-pn
arali Where arp the walls of Sparta?'
he turned to his troops and replied:
'There arc the walls of Sparta and
every man a brick;'
•In this campaign, with its hurry, no
doubt many of you didn't takp time to
look into our constitution as thoroughly
as you might have done. I advise you
to do so now. Read the constitution
especially and thp wording of your cer
tificate. 'You are now ready to receive
the Obligations of our order, lmi have
already received the secret work of the
Fraternal Brotherhood. Now I prpsent
you to the past supreme president, R.
D. List, who will give you the past
president's charge."
The candidates still standing. Past
President List welcomed them formally
Into the organization and then said:
"It is proper, at this time, to explain to
you thp aims of our organization and your
duties In It. We arp organlzpd for protec

loved ones. It will be a comfort to you
when about to bewailed Into the great be

"Co-operation, helpfulness and charity;
these are the underlying principles of the
Fraternal Brotherhood. These we expect
from you. In order that your lodge may
receive the benefit to which it Is entitled
from your membership your presence Is
needed at its meetings. Its officers are
entitled to your sympathy and support and
they will expect it. It rests with you and
you alone to see that your obligations are
fulfilled."
Certificates Delayed
Supreme Secretary Davis explained to
the newly 'initiated members that he had
expected to deliver their certificates to
them at tho close of the meeting, but
added that this would be Impossible owing
to the large number. The certificates will
he delivered later through the treasurers
of the several local lodges. Referring to
the membership campaign Mr. Davis said
that one thing In particular had pleased
him greatly. That was the large number
of women who had taken insurance.
The meeting closed with the audience
Singing "America." During the evening
Prof. Bruce Gordon Kingsley played sev
eral selections on the big Auditorium
organ, among them a descriptive piece
entitled "The Storm" and the beautiful
"Poet and Peasant Overture." He also
played a patriotic medley on the chimes.
Today, in honor of the Initiations, the
Brotherhood will hold a picnic at Playa
del Rey. The drill teams will appear In
exhibition and competitive drills and an
extensive athletic program will be pre
sented.
HAYWOOD'S DEFENSE
NEARLY COMPLETE
(Contlnued from Pncr Onr)
ous bearing, there was not a moment
throughout the three hours of cross
examination that the atmosphere did not
linele with possibilities.
Turns Evasive Answer
Once when Senator Borah pressed Hay
wood as to his sentiment toward former
Governor Steunenberg, Haywood said
quietly and with a smile: "I felt no differ
ent toward Steunenberg. senator, than I
do toward you or any of those people."
Senator Borah looked up quickly, but
he did not smile. He said very quickly:
"Yes. I have been given to understand
something of that sort," and did not pur
sue the subject.
Much of Haywood's testimony today
,\i. s repetition in detail of what Moyer
laid yesterday. Haywood, however, made
no effort to deny his know.edge of Or
. haul and his affairs or his connection
with Bimpklns. He wits pressed closely
as to the passage of the telegram relat
ing to the engagement of counsel to de
fend Orchard, and in this connection sub
mitted that he knew that Bimpklns had
retained counsel, but there was no report
from Bimpklns to the federation on the
subject.
Like Moyer. Haywood had never heard
Orchard make threats against Steimen
berg, although he had heard of Orchard's
claim that be had lost his interest in the
Hercules mine because of troubles In the
Coeur d'Alenes. Haywood explained the
ill aft sent to Simpklns for $100 on De
cember 21, 1906, on the ground- that Simp
kins had left the money with him for
safekeeping. He had no acknowledgment
ot the receipt of the money and has not
heard from Simpklns since tha' time.
Haywood said he never told Petllbone
thai he had sent i..ls money to Simpkins.
In his opening speech Mr. narrow said it
was doubtful if the defense would at
tempt to explain the copy of the letter
received by Orchard while he was in jail
In Caldwell, in which he said "that was
sent on December 20." In his testimony
Orchard said that this letter was in reply
to one from him to Pettibone asking for
$100.
Confirms Orchard
Haywood In many particulars confirmed
Orchard, but where Orchard connected
Haywood or the U'estern Federation with
crime the witness was very emphatic and
prompt in his denials. He showed no hes
itation or desire to conceal the fact that
Orchard had visited him at his house or
that he on different occasions had inti
mate conversations with Orchard.
He denounced the administration, of
Colorado at the time of the trouble as
corrupt, and he extolled the value of the
Western Federation. Throughout Hay
wood rang the note of antagonism to
what he calls the capitalistic class and
was confident that only by such methods
as those followed by the Western Federa
tion can the worklngman hope to control
the situation.
Injured Man Dies
Cochran, the man who walked into the
vat of boiling water at the gas works
Thursday night, died of his injuries, last
night.
