Women Enlist in Cause
The work of the league does not con
template the exclusion of women, who
are to i>. given a pert in it as they
are In the San Francisco organisation.
As= a remit many of Loi
women hay enlisted in the cause and j
the names of m veral prominent women

list of active workers who have pledged
their support to the new organisation.
A» a proof of the int. rest which lie

B 2000 pupils of the Polytechnic
high school on tlie subject of "Civic
Improvement and the Work of th.
League of Justice in San Francisco."
The work of the league being entirely
non-political and it being a permanent

interest in the movement.

Cured Chronic
Dyspepsia
Mrs. W. Warner, New Orleans,
La., After Suffering for Years
from Dyspepsia, Found Im
mediate Relief from the
Use of Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey.
Recently she wrote: —"I have
been suffering from dyspepsia for
the last 12 years, and have tried
almost everything, but failed to
get relief. 1 was told to try
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. 'I
went to liif drug store and bought
a bottle, and before I finished
using i' 1 was relieved. I have
been taking Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey for some time and am
glad to say it was the medicine
that cured me. 1 highly recom
mend it to anyone suffering from
dyspepsia."
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
is an absolutely pure distillation
of malted grain, great care being
used to have every kernel thor
oughly malted, thus producing a
liquid food requiring no digestion
in the form of a malt whiskey,
which is one of the most effective
tonic stimulants and invigorators
known to science; softened by
warmth and moisture, its palata
bility and freedom from injurious
substances render it so that it can
be retained by the most sensitive
stomach.
If weak and run down, take a
teaspoon fuJ four times a day in
half a glass of milk or water.
Duffy's Pure Mall Whiskey is
sold throughout the world by
druggists, grocers and dealers, or
shipped direct for $1.00 a large
bottle.

est medicine.
PART II
! speak of the work of the proposed or
ganization. A big gathering has been j
planned .at Simpson auditorium for
Saturday night, when Mayor Taylor
will be the principal speaker and Prof. I
Boke will outline the details of the or
ganization. , ■ ,
The organisation of a League of Jus
tice in Los' Angeles, according to the I
men backing It, is only a part of a
larger national movement to unite the
forces of good government throughout
the larger cities of the United States,
in an organized effort to root out per
manently the forces of corruption and;
! graft from the municipalities and to
keep continual guard over public of
ficials who attempt to betray the trusts
imposed-in them. Prof. Boke will start
Monday for the east, where he has a
series of appointments with leaders of'
various municipal organizations In
larger eastern cities and where he will
explain the workings of the League of
Justice.
Explains Movement to East
The fame of the San Francisco or
! ganization has already spread to such
a degree that the Rev. William Rader
of San Francisco recently went east to
explain to eager citizens the workings
of the western institution which has;
' been such a power in San Francisco
i during the turmoil which has drawn
attention to that city.
Prof Boke will devote an entire .
month of his time to keeping appoint
-1 ments with various civic organizations |
in eastern cities. He will speak beforo ,
the National Municipal league in New
York and will then journey to Phila
delphia, Boston, Plttsburg, Washing
ton, Chicago and other places where ho!
has been Invited to appear.
It is the ultimate plan of the men
backing the movement to have a
national central committee, which will
probably be made up of delegates from
the various local leagues and which
will make It their business to keep the
work of the various organizations uni
fied and working along the same lines. I
The scope of the work will embrace:
the whole United States. Former Qov.
J. W. Folk of Missouri, who is visiting
Los Angeles, has shown Interest in the
proposed plan and recently expressed
himself to Prof. Boke as pleased with
the idea.
"I believe the country is ripe for
such a movement," he said In his con
versation with the California profes
sor. ' '
Members Wear Buttons
Among the men who are taking an j
active part in organizing the local i
League of Justice are Frank Finlay
son. Rev. Dana Bartlett, Mayor Alex- ,
ander, Joseph E. Koepfli. president of
the Municipal league; Secretary Hen
derson of the City club, Secretary
Egerton of the "Municipal league. Mar
tin Bekin and many more who are In
terested in the future wellfare of Los
Angeles.
Buttons of the San Francisco league,
worn by members of that organization
in San' Francisco, were distributed
yesterday to a number of Los Angeles
prominent citizens who have pledged
their support to the local organiza
tion It is understood the organization
will be democratic In every detail, and
any citizen, man or woman, will be
allowed to become a member upon sign-
Ing the pledge of support which sets
forth the object of the league.
In San Francisco the women mem
bers of the organization have done an
important work in attending the graft
trials, overcoming the influence of
thugs and creating a better mental
atmosphere in the court room.
The spirit of the organization and
the end for which it exists are crystal
lized In a paragraph from the speech
of John Graham Brooks in the Libera
tor of San Francisco, in which the
noted reformer says: "We, too, as a
nation, have pinned; we have turned
thieveries, lawlessness and vice Into
gold for our own pride and fattening.
We, too, discovered the documents. We
now know how we have done this evil.
But we. too, are strong enough to stop
It not In another future, but here and
now. We are already strong enough
and courageous enough to make an
end of it.
To Give Particulars
"And your League of Justice, it
should be wide as a nation, because
the Injustices against which you tilt
are national. In a hundr^i cities these
leagues should spring into life and
knit themselves Into a banded strength
against which neither the business nor
political shyster could hold his own.
"The facts are at last clear enough,
the danger grave enough, to put the
fire of a great purpose and a great
faith into the" movement. What, in a
sentence, is the cause? It is to rescue
business and politics from their in
famies; it is to make the word politics
and citizenship at least as sacred as the
word religion. It is as with heads
bowed under a common shame— that
knowing at least the nature of our
guilt: knowing enough of the evils and
enough of the remedy to take the first
steps, we do one and all league our
selves for justice and pay the full,
honest price of reform."
Full particulars as to the objects of
the organization and plan of work will
be given by the speakers in Simpson
auditorium tomorrow night. Circulars
will be distributed outlining the prin
ciples of the league and pledge cards
will be handed out for those who wish
to identify themselves with the or
ganization and lend it their moral and
financial support. The destinies of th«
league will probably be put in the
hands of 100 selected citizens who will
do the active work through commit
tees.
The Theaters
MISS DOLLY DARSEY, "ho ia
playing with May Ward's Dres
den Dolls at the Los Angeles
theater this week, was working In the
doll department of a New York depart
ment store one day last year, when
Miss Ward entered in quest of ideas for
the dressing of her <1• ■1 1 act, and asked
to see some of ihc largest dolls in
stock. She bought a pretty light
haired, pink-faced dollle, an.l orderi ;i i:
sent to the theater. When the box was
opened Miss Ward was dombfound. <! to
discover a real live doll, who turned out
to be Miss Darsey, the "doll model."
Miss Ward was lo pleased with the
likeness that she made Miss Darsey
stage director of the act.
A. C. Harpham of New York has
been engaged as director by Hentz St
ZalUe "f tin- Tnique theater, and will
begin his work at that house next Mon
day Mr. Harpham has been connected
witli such well known houses as the
Winter Garden and the famous Lyce
um theater. Recently he has been with
the Ada Meade opera company as stage
director. He closed his engagement
with that company in order to accept
the Unique offer.
More than 15.000 act..is an' estimated
to be walking the streets of New York,
seeking engagements and the propor
tion probably obtains in most other
large cities of the emit.
All preparations are now complete
for the theatrical treasurers' ball
Friday night in the Goldberg-Bosley
assembly hall and the committee on
arrangements spent yesterday puUihr
the finishing touches upon their plans.
The sale of tickets assures a very suc
cessful evening. The ball will be a
formal affair and will probably be
come an annual or semi-annual cus
tom of the newly formed association.
