SALVATIONIST TELLS
ABOUT RESCUE WORK
MRS. MARY STILLWELL MAKES
TWO ADDRESSES
Army Has Specialized and Adopted
Business Methods in Dealing
with Conditions of
the Slums
[Special to THie lliTald.l
PASADENA, Feb. 27. — Two ad
dresses on rescue and slum work were
delivered here today by Mrs. Mary
BtUlwell, traveling secretary of that
department of the Salvation army. The .
in. ring this afternoon was hold in the |
First Christian church for women
only, and dealt particularly with the
white slave traffic.
In an interview on the subject she
said: "The meeting was "well attended
and many questions were asked and
answered. Our officers have been
brought into contact with vice in all
Us forms and it has developed a heart
to feel and sympathise, as well as a
shrewdness that is not easily deceived.
As a result the Salvation army haa
followed the natural tendency of mod
ern business methods to specialize and
has detailed some of its women officers
to pass their lives in rescuing the
fallen women.
"The trouble can often no traced
to a lack of education in regard to the
sexes and lack of restraint in the
home. In too many cases the parents
are no longer the head of the family.
"Mothers should make i ompanlons
of their girls and not force them to
look elsewhere for entertainment."
In the First Friends church last
night Mrs. Btillwell spoke of rescue
work in big cities and told how the
Salvaton army rescues girls who have
fallen by dealing with them on the
streets at midnight and visiting the
places they frequent. Those who are
rescued are sent to rescue homes and
given domestic employment and other |
light work, and she stated that very j
few return to their former haunts.

Savage's skill in directing a descending^

he landed "ii the beach near the Kast

The balloon came down in the water,
several hundred feet beyond the pier.

Brashear's attorneys told him that
the Vrooman law requires all specifi

whereas those in regard to these street
improvements, although the work was

stated, bond companies probably would

MAD DOG GIVES TWO
MEN SEVERE BATLTE
Animal Beaten to Death with Clubs
After Ferocious Attack on
San Bernardino
Miners
[Special to Thn Herald.]
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 27.—Face
to lace with a mad dog, a hug* blue
Dane, George Barker and Phillips
Newman Friday battled for their lives
at their camp in the Kan Bernardino
mountains.
For several days the men noticed
the dog about their camp, but though
j its actions were peculiar there was
no suspicttfa that rabies were develop
ing. Friday Barker found *ho animal
crouching In the woodshed. The mad
dened beast leaped upon him, knocking
him 10 the ground. Newman, who was
close by, rushed to his partner's as
sistance and the tv>n men then battled
with the animal. With clubs they
finally beat the dour to death, but not
before they both had narrow escapes
from being bitten.
The flgrnt lasted only a short time,
but the beast sprang at Barker after
he had regained his feet and sank its
teeth into his clothing.
It is thought that the animal either
contracted the rabies from coyotes or
was bitten by the mad do? near Beau
mont which later made Its way into
Redlands.
LAND TO BE RECLAIMED
BY SUBTERRANEAN CREEK
Valuable Property to Be Made by
Filling San Bernardino
Gulch
RAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 27.—A
subterranean creek is to be the result
of "making" valuable residence prop
erty in San Bernardino.
Through the entire city runs an old
creek bed, known as Town creek, and
for a portion of the distance it passes
through tlie best residence district.
At Kighth and D streets, where it cuts
diagonally across the street, property
has reached such value that the own
ers of the bed and- bank have decided
that it would pay to fill the gulch.
A concrete culvert has been put in
to carry the water that runs In the
creek during the winter months, and
the ground is to be filled level with
the street and prepared for residence
property.
The work at this point is being done
by R. F. Garner, who owns consider
able frontage on D street. Other prop
erty owners contemplate the same
procedure taken by Mr. Garner to con
vert the gulch into desirable land, and
it is probable that for a considerable
distance the creek will become a sub
terranean stream.
SEWER CONTROVERSY ENDED
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 27.—1t is
probable that no action will be taken
regarding- the turning of the sewer of
the city into Warm creek, to investi
gate which Dr. W. F. Snow, secretary
of the state health board, was in San
Bernardino yesterday. A. Gregory of
Redlands, of the firm of Gregory &
Langford, has made his position clear
by the statement that it was absolutely
necessary to turn the sewage into the
creek in order to repair the outfall pipe
line, which had been crushed by work
men of the county unloading rock at
the Santa Ana river bridge. The sewer
system is now in use, and the pollution
of the creek is at an end.

MOTORCYCLISTS AND
POLICEMAN IN MIXUP
VENICE OFFICER ENTANGLED
IN MACHINE
Three Persons and Vehicle Land in
Heap Twenty Feet from Point of
Impact, but No One
Is Injured
rs;'ivlal to The Herald,]
VENICE, Feb. 27.—A near tragedy
was witnessed by the large crowd of
pleasure seekers at Venice this after
noon when a motorcycle ridden by
James Hill and a girl friend of l.os
Angeles bumped Into Officer William
1:. Cavanaugh of tin- Ocean park police
force and threw him violently to the
ground. There was a general mixup,
but no one was seriously hurt. The
accident created considerable amuse
ment, Cavanaugh. who i.s well known
to automobile men who visit the
beaches, took it as a huge Joke.
Cavanaugh, wearing his usual broad
smile and a brand new uniform, took
his customary position at the corner
of Windward avenue and Speedway
this afternoon to keep the automobiles
and other Vehicles moving and prevent
accidents. .This is one of the most dan
gerous corners known to automobile
drivers, Speedway is only twenty feet
in width, and almost concealed by tall
buildings on each side. It is nothing
unusual for 1000 automobiles to pass
around this corner on a sunny after
noon, which was the case today.
A motorcyclist, apparently not notic
ing: the policeman, sped around the
corner from Windward avenue and lit
erally sailed down Speedway. C'ava
naugh raised his club and ■book it at
the fast disappearing rider in a threat
ening manner. Hill and his friend were
followingr closely behind the other
speeder, ami Cavanaugh attempted to
wave him down with his hand, while
watching the first motorcyclist.
Lack of railroad knowledge on the
part of Hill caused the accident, ac
cording to Cavanaugh. Hill mistook
the "stop" signal for a '.'highball," and
came dashing ahead. The machine
caught the policeman squarely In the
rear and carried him at least twenty
feet before it came to a stop and police
man, cyclist, girl and machine fell in
a heap. The most disastrous result was
the demolishing- of Cavanaugh's. new
uniform, otherwise he said lie Didn't
mind the accident. The damage to the
Hue suit was such that Cavanaugh
was compelled hastily to get oft the
street and seek more comprehensive
garments.
The impact when the motorcycle
struck the officer was so great that it
stopped the engine immediately. Cav
anaugh's desire to uphold the dignity
of the law, his position as vice presi
dent of the Merchants of Venice, and
his Irish stubbornness, combined with
his great avoirdupois, are thought to
account for the absence of more serious
consequences in connection with the ac
cident.
Hill was taken to police headquarters
and severely lectured by Chief of Po
lice John H. Parrent, but was not ar
rested, as he agreed to pay for all
damage done. Parrent declared that
this accident only emphasizes the need
of more stringent laws in regard to
speeding- in the city streets. The city
board of trustees is expected to take
up the question and atempt to formu
late an ordinance that will prevent the
possibility of such accidents recurring.
SENATOR'S WIFE IS
SEVERELY INJURED
[Special to The Herald.]
VENICE, Feb. 27.—The right foot of
Mrs. J. C. Curtiss, wife of a lawyer and
state senator of Aberdeen, South Da
kota, was so badly crushed by a oar
this evening that it had to be arapu
tatid just below the knee.
Fivd Wilson, a young man from Los
Angeles, who witnessed the accldant,
sickened, reeled away and fell in a
faint across the second track, and but
for the prompt act of a woman would
have been run over by a train bearing
down from another direction. She
dragged him away while others in the
crowd appeared dumfounded.
Mrs. Curtiss was in the company of
her husband and Dr. William Dodge of
Los Angeles, and had just come out
from the city. They were on the first
car of a two-car train, and it was not
until this was again in motion that
they hurriedly decided to set off at
Windward avenue. The other two
alighted safely, but Mrs. Curtiss collid
ed with one of the Venetian pillars anil
■she fell back with her rlffht foot across
the rail. TUe foot was badly crushed.
She was taken to the Santa Monica Bay
hospital. 11 < ■ r condition (a not consid
ered serious. The accident was not ob
served by anyone on the train, and it
proceeded on.
WOMEN SHIRTWAIST
MAKERS PERSECUTED
Dr. Kate Walden Barrett, national
president of the Florence Crittenton
homes, spoke lust evening in McKinley
hall, Walker Theater building, under
the auspices of the Socialist women,
on "Tile Shirtwaist Strike."
Dr. Barrett gave many startling In
stances of how the striking girls were
persecuted by the police and unjustly
treated by the courts, especially the
night court, where they were lined on
the testimony of hired witnesses and
lined heavily on the most insignificant
charges.
Dr. Barrett blames present day econ
omic conditions for the deep-rooted so
cial evil, and says that of the 40,000
girls who have .been taken care of by
the Florence Crittenton homes In the
last two years three-fourths were wojk-
inn girls.
"The education of women in the past
has not been such as to make them In
telligent "i- even thinking women, cap
able of taking care of themselves in
the world; but it is not education alone
Which will conquer tin' social evil.
"So long as there are two standards
of morality, one for men and another
IHr women, just so long will sex evils
llouiish, and only when women de
mand the same high standard of moral
ity in UteiV husbands and sons as is
expected in themselves will the moral
plane of the nation rise to where it
should be."

METHODISM SHOWS
GROWTH IN ITALY
In Address to Congregation of Amer.
ican Church in Rome Rev. Tip.
pie Takes Issue with
Catholicism
[Associated Press]
ROME, Feb. 27. - The American
Methodist church was crowded today
the congregation including many
American visitors, who were attracted
by the subject of Pastor B. M. Tipple's
sermon, "Why Methodism is in Rome."
It was in the American Methodist
church that Charles W. Fairbanks de
livered the address -which prevented
his reception in audience by the pope,
an incident which has created much
discussion in Rome as well as in the
United States.
Rev. Mr. Tipple said the Methodist
church was meeting with great success
throughout Italy. Such an inference
could be drawn from the extraordinary
action by the Vatican with regard to
the proposed visit of former Vice
President Fairbanks to the pope, and
also to the bitter resentment of the
Catholic clergy. ■
"With reference to the assertion that
Methodists have no right to be in
Italy," said the preacher, "the answer
is that we are here under the Italian
laws guaranteeing religious freedom.
"The Catholic church suffers embar
rassment' when it is required to satisfy
the ideals of a great liberty-loving re
public contemporaneously with heeding
the demands of the Vatican, which is
still bound by the ideals of the middle
ages.
"Italy needs Methodism because it is
no longer Catholic except in name.
The charge of Methodist proselyting is
foolish. Their hands are full in deal
ing with the unbelievers. This is
proved by the last census, which shows
that Italy reports the largest number
of men without religious convictions.
It is true that the Methodists . have
former priests among the workers, but
none has actively been sought. The
Methodist schools are full because the
children's Barents select them as the
best.
"The issue in Italy today is not
Protestantism vs. Catholicism, but
faith vs. atheism. Archbishop Ireland
has said that every convert to Meth
odism costs $1400. If that is true, can
not the American Methodists better af
ford to pay it than every three- Italian
laborers who carry one priest?"
The pastor urged that Archbishop
Ireland specify the dishonorable meth
ods here, and he added: "It Is playing
with fire for the Catholic church to
open the subject of moral methods in
Italy."

Government Labor Bureau Agents
Declare After Investigation That
Overtime for Operators Is
Objectionable Feature
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—"Less
than live feet high? All right; you
can't be a telephone girl."
Such is the rule of the big telephone
companies, according to a report com
piled by the labor bureau and made
public today. ■'»■
The girls must bo high enough .to
reach to the top of the switchboards
and a reasonable • distance sideways.
This being the case, it is easy to see
how much chance, the short girl has of |
learning the "hello" game. •
The bulk of the report deals with
woman employes— there are 17,210 of]
them working at the switchboards for I
twenty-seven companies in twenty-six'■•'
states which furnished the data.
Agents of the bureau visited r sev- ,
enty-three exchanges and found them
generally speaking, well housed. : In (
many cases the girls were compelled 1
to walk up from one to four flights
of stairs, and more than two-thirds of ;■'
the complaints were because of the
lack of elevators. ■C-V.-
Efficient service is possible .upl to
22. calls an hour for each girl. SMI
Commissioner Neil strongly urges
the practical elimination of overtime
for operators, and says this can-bY
brought about if the, larger cities will
set the example. New York city has :
done this, but in Chicatro the Bell '
operators have about 28 per cent of
overtime, and in New Orleans as high
as 98 per cent. - •.-.,-,- „■'■
A widespread and Intelligent effort ■
on the part of the companies to look
after the comfort and wellbetng; of •
their woman employes was found. j^
On tho other hand, the investigators '?.
found that the women were loyal ;to *
the companies and enthusiastic over
their work, all of which is declared to ■
add much to the efficiency of service
to the public. . -:.;
