CHAPEL BLESSED
BY MGR. HARNETT
NEW EDIFICE SCENE OF IM
PRESSIVE SERVICE
MAN'S LIFE LIKENED TO BUILD.
ING OF A CHURCH
Christian Family Must Be Founded on
Virtue, Else Whole Plan
Fails, Declares the
Speaker
With Impressive ceremonies the new
chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe, on
the new cathedral site, was conseci
yesterday morning by Mgr. Harnett.
The chapel, which will be dedicated by
Bishop Cnnaty on his return from Eu
rope, is of rustic style and was erected
at a cost of nearly $10,000. It faces on
Green street between Kighth and
Ninth. The new cathedral will face on
Ninth street, and after its erection the
present chapel will doubtless be used
as a parish hall.
Following the blessing yesterday
morning solemn high mass was cele
brated by Rev. Francis Conaty, assist
ed by Father Devlne of St. Vincent's
church as deacon. Father Gallagher of
the Cathedral of St. Vibiana as sub
deacon and Father Fahey. pastor of the
Holy Cross church, as master of cere
monies. The music of the mass was
sung by a choir of children from the
cathedral school, under the direction
of Frank Colby.
Mgr. Harnett preached the sermon,
reading St. Paul's Epistle to the Ro
mans, viii, 18-23, and taking as his text
Revelation xxi, 3. H« said:
Scripture in the Home
"The words of Bcripture are appli
cable not only to the church in which
holy mass Is celebrated the first time
today, hut also they are applicable to
the Christian family. In the church
God sacramentalized resides and lie
desires that the people be his people,
because he desires to shower them
with his blessings. This church of God
Is an image and a pattern of the Chris
tian family.
"Men and women forget what the
Christian family should be; they for
get that God and not themselves la
the architect. When B church Is to be
built there are many'things to be
taken into consideration. When a man
is about to enter life and become the
founder of a Christian family he should
consider his plans well.
"Unfortunately we are. of the earth
earthy. Men and women are not an
gels. They have bodies to be cared for,
and It cannot be all for the soul and
none for the body, otherwise the body
and soul would separate.
"Therefore the young man about to
enter the married state ought to ask
'Am I able to support a family?' With
out further labor, no. But he should
ask himself carefully if with labor and
industry he can care for a family.
Virtue the Foundation
"A Christian family ought to be.
founded on virtue. We know the solid
foundation on which the church rest*.
The foundation of the family should
be virtue, industry, self-rostraint, mor
tification and the. love of one's neigh
bor with the love of God. if mm and
women build on 'anything else it must
come to naught.
"We sec all around us persons con
tracting civil marriages. They look not
on tho marriage tie as sacred. It is
to them an ordinary contract as are
other contracts of life.
"Men and women forget that this
state should be entered into on the
specifications of God. These men and
women will tell you they are happj.
Wait! Time will reveal many things.
All are not dead, and before they dlv
we shall sec that the work" of the [OUil
dation was not properly laid. We shall
find that family come to naught.
Duties of Parents
"In our churches we buttress the.
walls for greater strength. Does the
family need such buttresses? Justice,
diligence, tempi ranee and patience are
the buttresses that should strengthen
the Christian family. Unless it has
these it is in vain. The husband and
father has his rights as the head of
the house as Christ Is the head of the
church. The wife has her rights; she
is not a slave, but a partner. The hus
band and wife must realize their posi
tion and be just to their children.
"How are we in our homes serving
God? Do the fathers give good exam
ples to their sons? Do the mothers
Kive good examples to their daughters?
There are many married men who say
that It Is not necessary to go so Oftey
to the sacraments, as they are not ex
posed to so many temptations.
"You, a father, are founder of a fam
ily. Personally It may not be neces
sary, but what of your boy? For the
sake of your children give them goo.l
examples. It is the same with the
mother. Perhaps you do not need to
go to the sacraments so often for your
self, but a good example will not be lost
on your children. Rarely do we find a
child of good parents go astray. They
may err, but the good example of a
good father and mother will bring
them back to God.
"If the parents are not Industrious
woe to the peace of the family! Where
they do not labor men and women
spend their time in auto rides and
going to parties and, behold, in a few
weeks you see how different it is. A
divorce is soon asked for, and the fam
ily soon falls. Labor is not dishonor
able for men or women. Without la
bor there will not be happiness in the
home."
MAKES TALK TO TRIANGLE
DEPARTMENT OF Y. M. C. A.
Newly Appointed Secretary Gives Ad
dress to Younger Members on
"Second Wind"
J. Perclval Hagerman, the newly ap
pointed secretary of the Triangle de
partment of the Los Angeles Young
Men's Christian association, spoke to
the younger members of the association
yesterday afternoon on "Second Wind."
Hagerman spoke ot the second wind
which every long distance runner can
attain to a greater or less degree, and
likened it to our second outlook on
srlrltual and physical life as we grow
older. A large crowd turned out to
hear Hagerman'g first address before
the association, the Triangle depart
ment being especially well represented.
The topic of the address, "Second
Wind," was significant from the point
of view that Hagerman has attained
great fame as an athlete. His inter
national reputation being secured when
in London he took second place In the
broad jump, representing- the Los An
geles Athletic club of Los Angeles, Ha
german was also a point winner at St.
Louis and Portland, where he compet
ed, representing: the Young Men's Chris
tian association of Los Angeles.' He
also holds the Pacific-coast record for
the broad Jump, 24 feet 3 inches, secured
at the Berkeley oval. .

RT. REV. PATRICK HARNETT
DR. LOCKE PREACHES
ON MAN'S EQUALITY
SAYS STRONG SHOULD BEAR
INFIRMITIES OF WEAK
Because of False Assumption That
Every Person Has Equal Ability,
Clergyman Declares Many
Are Left in Poverty
Dr. Charles Edward Locke al the
First Methodist Episcopal church
preached yesterday on the subject,
••Are All .Men Created Equal?" He
detected for his text "We thai are
strong ought to bear the Infirmities ef
the weak." Romans 16:1.
nr. Locke said In pari:
"It we put cur question, 'Are all men
created equal?' to this Bible We re
celve an unequivocal reply. Paul an
swers, 'God hath made of one bloi d all
natlom of nw n'; and In another i
•Bear ye one another 1! burden*, and bo
fulfill the law of Chrlit. 1 The prophel
Malachl replies to our question by auh
ing others: 'Have we not all i
Father? Hath ncit one God created
us? Why do we deal treacherously any
man against his brother?' Jesus Chrißt
begins his universal prayer with the
charmed words, 'Our Father'; and add*
;i new commandment in the decalogue,
'Love one another ai r bave loved you.'
Christ announces himself as our elder
brother, and thus . stabllshes the broth
erhood of the race and the solidarity of
human society.
"If we put our question to our fore
fathers, they answer us In the won Is
of the immortal Declaration of Inde
pendence: 'We hold these truths to be
self-evident: that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unallenable rights ;
that among these are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.'
"Bo far is our rights before God are
concerned we are created equal, and
politically and legally we are equal,
and each may expect all the rights and
privileges and protection which are
claimed by the other; yet when we
study society &g it exists today we
find great disparity and inequality;
among men. physically, mentally, finan
cially; In opportunity, inheritance and
in environment. Every man by crea
tion has an equal moral right with
• vi ry other to all the Joys of life, but
some men have less ability to claim
these rights thun other men. 11
the injunction of the text. 'We that
are strong ought to bear the infirmi
ties of the weak. 1
Equality of Man
"On the false assumption that every
man has equal ability as well as equal
rights to achieve, ambitious men have
gone selfishly Into the contest for suc
cess, and the result is that many of
the weaker ones have been left behind
and are now In poverty and vice and
woe.
"Life is not like the rivalries of the
race course; for in the race course com
petitors of equal physical capacity are
Pitted against each other. Various
classes of contests are arranged, so
that the stronger will not be placed In
competition with the weaker. No. lii
' is not like athletic combats; it knows
nothing of concessions and handicaps:
life Is like dangerous mountain climb
ing, where each traveler must he fast
ened by strong cords to all the others:
if one misses his foul ing all the others
preserve him from Calling; each thus
idiis his nerve and rigor and com
to the other.
"God has created all men equal, but
man has Introduced enormous Inequal
ities. There should be no castes or
classes in society more than in the in
dividual family. The grief of one per
son should be tin- sorrow of all: the
shame of one person, Ihe disgrace of
all: the honor* of one person, the just
pride of .ill It is the mission of Christ
to establish these true conditions and
to correct the monstrous wrongs of so
ciety, and all of these evils will be
■led as 'we that are strong' ac
cept the obligation that we 'ought to
bear the. tnflrnjitles of the weak.'

intrinsically harmful not only injures
tin' consumer, but blights and curses
ihe generations unborn. Much of the
Inequality among men today has been
inherited from the dlsslpatloni of pre
ceding generations. The vast consump
tion of liquors, opium, tobacco, cig
arettes, etc., reaching into hundreds
of thousands of dollars of expense, not
only docs not show any added happi
ness tn our people; but deplorable, in
dee,!, are ihe results in broken consti
tutions, blunted perceptions and gen
eral disaster to all the delicate organ
isms of the human body. If men spent
less for things injurious they would
have more tn spend for the substantial
and useful things which add so much
to health, happiness and culture. Rus
kin v.i 11 says, "The wealth of a nation
may lie estimated by the number of
happy souls that are employed in mak
lng useful things.' The farmer would
better take his grain to the miller than
to th" distiller; and when ha.'nuul con
sumption ceases he will have a larger
market and better prices for his grain,
because the consumer will have more
money to spend for the products of the
farm."

MONEY DEMANDS
LEAD TO ROW
WIFE DECLARES HUSBAND
THOUGHT HER WEALTHY
SAYS SHE DID NOT INTEND TO
SHOOT
Insists Revolver Exploded Accidentally
While She Was Engaged in a
Struggle with Mother
of Her Spouse
Mrs. Russell Grundy of 1315 West
Thirty-fifth street, who was arrested
In Long Beach Saturday night on a
charge of attempting to kill her hus
band by firing a shot at him at the
home of her father-in-law at Ninth
and Chestnut streets, Long Beach, Is
a prisoner in the county Jail here and
declares the trouble Is the result of
her husband's insistent demands for
money and a quarrel over tickets' to a
socliil function that finally brought
matters to a climax.
"I was married to Mr. Grundy thir
teen months ago," said Mrs. Grundy.
"I had met him about a year previous
to that time. He evidently thought I
was wealthy, as his subsequent re
quests for money revealed.
"My first husband was Daniel W.
Baker, jr., of Newark, N. J., who was
a member of the firm of Baker & Co.,
platinum dealers. My husband left me
a small fortune, so that I am enabled
to live comfortably, but I am not as
wealthy as Mr. Grundy thought I
was.
"We had frequent disputes about
money matters, and last Friday after I
was unable to find some tickets to a
social function we had another quar
rel, when I accused him of having
knowledge of their whereabouts, and
.he left the house/ I' left later, and
when I returned found he had taken
all his belongings and gone to Long
Beach to the home of his parents.
Carries Pistol
"I boarded a car Saturday for Long
Beach, carrying my pistol in my
hand-bag, as has heen my custom for
the last four years. I did not take
the weapon with me for the purpose
of shooting him, and have always car
ried It for protection against footpads.
1 once asked the Long Beach authori
ties for permission to carry the
weapon, but this was denied, and I
was told I probably would not be
searched in the event I did carry it.
"I went to the home of Mr. Grundy's
parents, arriving there about dark.
He was lying on a hammock on the
front porch, and about the time I spoke
to him his mother came out to where
we were. They wanted me to be
seated, but I refused, and declared I
did not care for a long discussion.
"I asked him what he meant by his
conduct and suddenly I was seized and
my arms were twisted. Then his
mother grabbed me.
"At this time my handbag was hang
ing on my left arm. I don't remember
having opened it, and was surprised
as any one when the report rang out
and the bullet buried itself in the floor
of the porch.
"They held me until the police came
ami then allowed them to take me to
the station at Long Beach, where I
was locked up."
Mrs. Grundy declared there was no
truth to the statement to the effect
that Grundy is the eldest son of a
millionaire piano manufacturer for
merly of Toronto. Ont. She stated her
husband and his parents have been
trying to have her taken into custody
en a charge of insanity.
She says she will employ an attorney
and fight the charges to the bitter end.
TABLE TAKES ROOT
IN SOIL AND GROWS
JUST LIKE A TREE
LONG BEACH PEOPLE AWED
BY STRANGE SIGHT "
Growing Qualities of Climate Made
Manifest by Daily Increasing
Size of Small Willow
Table
LONG BEACH, June 27.—1t is no
unusual sight in Long Beach to see
small willow tables, chairs, bedsteads
and other useful articles of furniture
arranged in an artistic manner on
front lawns or in other spots where
they will be both favored by sunshine
and shade. One staid and sober cit
izen of the beach city nearly signed
a temperance pledge the other day
when he observed an elderly woman
watering a small dining room table
Mini assiduously digging at the base (if
its four legs.
Tourists are pouring into Long
Beach by the thousands to witness the
phenomenon, which is either attrib
utable to the growing qualities of the
city or to California climate, or a com
bination of both. Certain it is, how
ever, that small articles of willow
furniture when placed cm the ground.
carefully irrigated and cultivated, will
soon grow to an ordinary size, and for
all this William Zctel is responsible.
In a Dry Town, Too!
Zetel, a tailor who lives at 12 Pa
cific avenue, a short time ago pur
chased an ordinary willow table. He
testified also that so far as he knew
Long Beach was a dry town and that
he had not attended any spiritualist
meetings at Semi-Tropic park, Los An
geles. Zetel placed the table in a con
venient outhouse which had an oanh
floor. A few days later on entering
the outhouse it appeared to Zetel that
tin- table had grown several inches.
As It was hue in the afternoon he at
tributed this to the dim light. A feu
days later he again had occasion to
visit, the outhouse, but was unable to
open the door. After cutting away a
portion of the wall Zetel detected the
table had indeed taken root and had
grown so large as to block the en
trance. The table, which was orig
inally purchased for a card table, had
attained such a size that Zetel has
been using it in the dining room. Re
cently the table appeared to be doing
poorly and was removed to a nursery,
where it has partially regained its old
time vigor.

MAY REORGANIZE
SOLDIERS' HOMES
WAR DEPARTMENT PROBABLY
WILL TAKE CHARGE
VETERANS RECEIVE OFFERS OF
ASSISTANCE
Members of Sawtelle Institution Con.
tinue to Complain of Food and of
Treatment Suffered from
Officers
Expressions of sympathy and offers
of assistance have been received al
the soldiers' home during the las! week
from nine of the national soldiers'
homes and from twenty-seven o£ the
state organizations. The movement to
institute a thorough investigation ot
the Sawtelle home has become of na
tional significance, and it is considered
not unlikely that the sweeping inves
tigation of the management of all the
national institutions will be begun, re
sulting eventually In the taking of the
management of the soldiers' homes out
of the control of the New York com
mission and placing it directly under
the war department.
leaders of Grand Army posts from
ocean to ocean have taken up the af
fair and are crystallizing their efforts
in an appeal to the war department,
Which must be heeded.
If the numerous letters received by
The Herald dally are any criterion, the
nid soldier* are aroused to the pitch of
battle and will wage war on the sys
tem which apparently they have found
wanting In many respects.
It is almost impossible to give even
a synopsis of the many letters that
have been sent The Herald on the sub
ject of the administration of the home
near Sawtelle.
One writer quotes the act of con
gress of April 11, 1892, section 4«28,
which names the officers of
home and provides that "they .shall
be appointed from honorably dis
charged soldiers."
Calls Home Disgrace
Another veteran writes as follows:
"Mr. Editor—Dear Sir: I want to
say there is not a member of the
Sawtelle home (officials not Included)
who does not owe your paper his
thanks. For once. I can notice a dif
ferent atmosphere in this camp, but the
half has not been told. To the dis
credit of this home. It has not been run
for the comfort of the old men. The
government had much better pay the
men a pension they can live on and
abolish the homes, for they are dis
graces. The old man who is so un
fortunate as to be driven to one of
these homes to live must sacrifice his
liberty and be branded to the eyes
of the world as a pauper. Oh, the
pity of it! Shame to the nation!"
Still another grizzled veteran who
defended the flap when defenders were
sorely needed writes as follows over his
own name, which, however, he asks
be withheld:
"Soldiers' Home, Pacific Branch. —
Mr. Editor: When the homos were es
tablished there were no discrimination!
made In the matter of food. All ihared
alike. Commanders of companies had
a separate table, but no difference was
made In the food or service, for all
members enter the home with the same
rights and privileges. After a time In
the Pacific branch there was estab
lished what is termed 'nickel plate
mess' for the favored ones, such as
commanders of companies, sergeants,
clerks, etc., for the payment of a nom
inal sum per month. Of course, this
makes it easier to deprive the great
majority of what is due them, for
those having the most influence are
well fed.
Complains of Food
"There are none here who would not
like the same privilege', and they can
not understand wherein the law that
established the homes permits this dis
crimination. Again, we an; allowed
by the government butter three times
a day, but get only an Insufficient
amount of oleomargarine twice a day,
and often only once. The so-called tea
is a mystery. No family, however
poor, could be induced to use it, for it
has none of the aroma or taste of tea.
It Is probably a tea that has once
been ran in hotels or restaurants, then
dried and some kind of a chemical
added which produces an extract, that
looks like logwood dye, which is dis
guised by the addition of milk.
"About twice a week we have mush
and milk for supper. The milk given
us Is at least half water. It seems
the pure food lan does not apply to
soldiers' homes, lee i" served every
where in the morning excepting the
company quarters. If these homes
were established for the soldier, where
in conies tliis discrimination."
It is possible for The Herald to till
many columns with communications
bearing directly on the situation at
the soldiers' home.
That there will be a sweeping Inves
tigation there Is not a doubt, and none
will welcome it more than the mem
bers of the home near Bawtelle.
