THE Seize-it-as-you-pass society Is
composed of. those people who
stand daily in the great cafeteria
bread lines of Los Angeles. They are
the people who are compelled by force
of circumstances to take their daily
sustenance, or some section of it, in the
heart of the city and in a hurry. Day
after day they meet at the front door
of some waiterless food emporium, pass
together down the chute of the ever
hungry, pick a crumb here and a frag
ment there until they have accumu
lated a meal, sit and eat, and pass on
out Into the world until they meet
again.
The cafeteria Is an outgrowth of sev
eral evil systems. The modern per
nicious tipping system was in a great
measure responsible for its springing
into existence. The unsatisfactory
method of selecting a dinner or lunch
from a card was another immediate
cause. If there had been no waiters'
trust to boost the tipping scale beyond
the reach of families of moderate
means, and if moving pictures of the
assortment of food offered could have
been presented Instead of a printed list,
the cafeteria would have ben unneces
sary.
People wish to become intimately ac
quainted with the food they buy be
fore they draw up the papers and close
the deal. It is right. The mail order
Idea has been carried too far in this
country. The public should not be
compelled to survive on foodstuffs
1 and March 20 for all qualified per
sons to file their applications, and
those filed as late as March 19 will
have the same standing as those
filed on March 1 or at any time be
tween those dates.

Several of the men in line stated yes
terday that they would not disband,
and that they would Insist on recogni
tion, according to their numbers, at the
next drawing. Others hinted that legal
contests might be expected, but it was
agreed by many that it seemed useless
to resist the federal orders, and there

lineup.
LINER USES FISTS ON
SUPPOSED DETRACTOR
Hears Word "Bum" and Thinks User
Intended to Cast Reflection
on All the Home.
seekers
Humor was added to the situation
late yesterday afternoon when a num
ber of the "linemen" visited the land
office in the Chamber of Commerce
building. One of the citizens awaiting
Information concerning the same in
structions remarked that he "was glad
that the line was not going to be recog-
nized."
"Had your line been permitted," he
said, "it would have prevented many
men and women from having an op
portunity to get a home. It is Impos
sible for all o£ us to close our homes
and 'bum' around while keeping a line
intact."
One of the energetic "liners'" did not
understand all that was said by the
citizen, who is a Southern Pacific rail
road conductor, m charge of a train
operating between Yuma and Los An-,
geles. Neither did he ask any ques
tions. He heard the word "bum," and
he thought the railroad man had placed
the landseekers in the category with
undesirable citizens. With one blow
from his right fl.st he sent the con
ductor staggering against the wall.

i which it has bought "sight unseen."
It should reserve at any cost the priv
ilege of placing its thumbs In the but
tonholes of the pastrtea and sal.uls
that it is thinking of taking into its
immediate acquaintance. It should re
serve the privilege of looking them
squarely in the face mid learning every
thing possible about their past lives—
whether they are city or country bred,
whether or not at any time in their
lives they have served a term in a cold
storage institution; in fact, whether or
not there is a questionable thing of any
nature in their history.
The Seize-lt-as-you-pass society
stands for its rights, also for its dinner.
It marches up to its prospective meal
and takes just those things which have
on their very surface an appearance of
honesty, integrity and innocence. It is
ruled by the sway of personal appeal.
If false friends are taken into the con
fidence of the members of the Seize-it
as-you-pass society, the members ac
cept the situation bravely and say
nothing.
The struggles of new members of the
society are very amusing to the old
heads. The new member always spends
all of his money at the first counter, or
if he is an individual of wealth he
blows a fortune before he completes
the tour. It takes several months to
acquire the ability to trade wisely at
an "open face" restaurant. Members
of much experience can get away with
an arm load of eatables for 11 cents.
Others crowded about the men, but an
explanation offered by one who had
heard and understood the railroad
man's remark prevented a second blow
being struck. The conductor, his right
eye discolored, hastened to the office of
Prosecutor Hill, where he sought a bat
tery complaint against his assailant.
He was directed to present witnesses
who could corroborate his story.
Publicaiton in The Herald of a pic
ture of C. R. Bunker, secretary of the
organization formed by the Yuma land

Second street. The men are cousins,
but lost trace of each other seven
years ago. They saw each other last
at Portland, Me.

animal in a livery stable to be fed.
After the beast had been there a while

much, and if he did not come and take
the animal away and kill it he would
be arrested. Packwood neglected to

consequently was arrested. He was
sent to jail in default of $100 bail.

HER LIFE WORK
PRISON REFORM
MAUDE BALLINGTON BOOTH IN
THIS CITY
WILL DELIVER SERIES OF AD.j
DRESSES
Noted Field Chief of Volunteers of
America Reviews Progress of
Her Work During Past Fif.
teen Years
Mrs. Maude Rallington Booth, field '
chief of the Volunteers of America and
co-worker with her husband. President
Ballington Booth, second son of Gen
eral William Booth of the Salvation
Army, arrived in Los Angeles yester
day afternoon over the Southern Pa
cific from New Orleans, where for the
last week she had been inspecting the
prison farms and reform work of the
Volunteers.
Mrs. Ballington Booth, despite her I
long journey, did not scorn the least
fatigued when interviewed last night
by a reporter of The Herald, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Allstrom,
719 Catalina street, where she will be
their guest during her sojourn in Los j
Angeles. |
Mrs. Booth spoke cheerfully and With .
much enthusiasm regarding her work
of prison reform and moral uplift,
Which In the last fifteen years has
brought her into world prominence.
Mrs. Booth*! itinerary includes many
western cities and lectures from two
to three times daily. She is a strenu
ous worker, untiring in hfr efforts to
■reform the practices of the various ■
state prisons and confident of the de
sired results.
During the fifteen years of her work,
Mrs. Booth says, the lock step, stripes,
Oregon boot, thumb-screw, whipping j
post and other barbarous practices, in
cluding hair-clipping, have been elimi
nated "from many of the penal Institu
tions, and in Louisiana, where con
victs are leased out for plantation
work, their condition has been greatly
ameliorated and their treatment ren
dered more humane.
Mrs. Booth is scheduled to speak
Sunday night in Pasadena at the First
Presbyterian church. At 11 o'clock
Monday morning she will speak at |
Occidental college. Tuesday she will i
speak at Redlands, and for the day j
there will be the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Albert K. Smiloy, with,whom she
has been intimately acquanted for
many years.
From Redlands Mrs. Booth will go
to Riverside, where Wednesday night
she will deliver another address, and
returning to Los Angeles will go to
Long Beach, where she is scheduled to
speak Thursday night. The next day
(Friday) she will go to Gan Francisco,
and probably speak there In one of the
churches Saturday night. It has been
arranged for Mrs. Booth to deliver an
address Sunday morning at San Quen
tin prison.
Fifteen years ago, at Sing Sing, >«ew
York, Mrs. Booth organized her first
prison reform league, with less than a
score of members. The work continued
until today there is a total member
ship in the various leagues of 60,000.
Mrs. Booth's first inspiration for her
work was received while on a visit
at San Quentin, where the hopeless
ness of the men and women there in
carcerated imbued her with a deter
mination to improve their treatment,
if possible.
At that time-Mrs. Booth and her hus
band were still In command of the
American branch of the Salvation
Army, but goverened as it was by ar
bitrary rule in a foreign country, she
says she found it impossible to ex
pand her work, so in March, 1895 she
founded the Volunteers of America,
with prison reform as one of its special
objects.
Mrs. Booth states that whenever she
visits a federal or state penitentiary a
holiday Is declared, and the greatest
consideration is shown to her. War
dens and superintendents generally are
anxious to help her in her work. Until
a few years ago, however, she met
with much different treatment. I
Mrs. Booth spoke last night with
much appreciat: n of the work being
done in Los Angeles by the Prison
Reform league established here by
Colonel Griffith J. Griffith, and ex
pressed profound sympathy Tor its
work, and hope for its ultimate achieve
ments.
Mrs. Booth is both comely and en
tertaining. She speaks succinctly and
with clear, musical accents, which have
made her famous as a lecturer. She
has a thorough grasp of her subject,
and is acquainted with prison life from
every phase and angle. Her lectures
in Los Angeles and vicinity will deal
with her experience in prifon reform
work, and tend toward the further or
ganization of the work in this section
of California.
EARL ROGERS BRANDS
CRYPTOGRAM CHARGE LIE
Earl Rogers of counsol for Patrick
Calhoun in the San Francisco graft
prosecutions declared last night that
the intimation that the mysterious
cryptograms recently discovered in
personal advertisements in the San
Francisco newspapers has been traced
to his oiffce was absolutely false.
According to a dispatch from San
Francisco Francis J. Heney had stated
that he believed the cryptograms had
been written in the office of Rogers.
Mr. Rogers said that if Heney made
the statement he was circulating a
falsehood.
"Let them talk," said Mr. Rogers.
"I can do my talking later."
Attorney Rogers intimated that
grave disclosures may be made before
the investigation has been ended.
