Because he was put off a Venice car
outside the city limits for not paying
his fare, Albert Smith got real peeved
last night and to show what he thought
of the car crew picked up a good sized
rock and hurled it through the car
window. Albert thought he was safe
from arrest, but was caught In South
Hill street and had plenty of time to
think over his rash action as he sat
in a cell In the city Jail. Malicious
mischief will be the complaint he will
have to respond to in police court this

ANGLO-SAXON RACE
Dr. Locke Preaches on Kinship
of the United States and
Great Britain
'BLOOD THICKER THAN WATER'
Pastor Eulogizes the Late King
Under the Gracious Title of
'Edward the Peacemaker'
The unusual spectacle of a congrega
tion cheering and clapping Its hands
wuh presented In the FMrst Methodist
Eplicopal church last night when the
pastor, <'h;irliH Edward Locke, com
pleted his kertnon In momory of Queen
Victoria and her HlUKtrlous son, King
Edward, "Ulihnl la Thicker than Water,
or God's Great Call to England BSid
America."
Uev. Mr. Locke soon had his auditors
In tears through his able tribute to
England's dead queen and to the eon
«i,.. fr.!ioT,. c ..i her in ruling we. ibe
British empire. At the conclusion of
his address, when tho orchestra broke
forth into tho strains of "America," the
congregation, unable to restrain Its
emotions, cheered and applauded the
speaker.
The pulpit from which I>r. jjoeke
ppoko was decorated with the Amori
can and English national colors,
through which crepe was intertwined.
The gist of the speaker's address was
that the. hands across the sea should bo
extended from America in sympathy
for England's bereavement, and ask
ing for a still closer relation between
the two groat countries.
"Tonight our hearts go out In pro
found sympathy for the great English
nation. In the loss of their masterful
King Edward our nation and the whole
Christian world Is bereaved. In this
age of preparedness for war, of Im
pregnable fortresses and massive war
ships, huge engines or war, and of im
menßO standing armies, to have had
the monarch of the greatest European
nation win for himself the gracious
and Chrlstliko title of "Edward the
Peacemaker,' Is an impressive achieve
ment.
"The antagonisms which arose be
tween, Great Britain and her American
colonists were the result of a mistaken
foreign policy. In those days England
had a fool for a king. Hor American
colonists were blood of her blood, bone
of her bone; they were the descendants
of Armlnlus, who defeated the Roman
legions at Teutoburg Wood, and of.
King Alfred. They were the products
of long centuries of struggle for con
stitutional privileges and the Magna
Charta. That little Mayflower was
filled with Anglo-Saxon courage and
conscience.
"It was because those Amerienn col
would not long submit to unjust taxa
tion without representation. They were
not vassals, but loyal subjects. It was
this that led Edmund Burke to ex
press his sympathy for the aspirations
of the colonists, and which gave Wil
liam Pitt the courage to declare In his
notable speech in 1777, "If I were an
American as I am an Englishman,
whilo a foreign troop was landed In
my country I never would lay down
my nrms—never, never, never!' And
It also caused England's most versatile
historian to write that "Imprudence and
obstinacy broke the ties which bound
the North American colonies to the
mother state.'
" 'Blood Is thicker than water." The
significant and prophetic emphasis put
upon this old saying by Oommndore
Tattnall has never been forgotten by
America nnd England. "When In 1859
the Chinese made nn unjustifiable at
tack upon the British fleet approach-
Ing Pekln on the Pel-Ho river, the gal
lant American commodore disregarded
all tlie laws of neutrality and hurried
to the relief of the English commander,
declaring as he did so that 'Blood Is
thicker than water!"
"Whether there shall be an alliance
offensive and defensive between Eng
land and America, or an Anglo-Saxon
federation, or an Informal alliance,
sober and trained statesmen must de
cide.
"England and America can give to
the world a universal language—an In
dispensable vehicle In progre.-s. They
can give to nations their customs and
commerce, both of which are great
civlllzers. They can bless the world
with mighty systems of education —
common schools and Institutions of
higher education. It Is the mission of
these Anglo-Saxon people to dissem
inate the principles of freedom.
BESrKCT FOR WOMANHOOD
"England and America must teach
to the nations of the world respect for
womanhood. The strength of the An
glo-Saxon race lies in the honor and
protection which are ever accorded to
the women. Then, too, these two mag
nificent countries are under obligation
to take their religion to the world—a
religion which In its conquest of love
and light has won for itself the su
premest place In the faiths of the
world. Pagan nations nre languishing
for the truth and the temples of Chris
tianity. Our ancient ancestors in
Britain would have fallen a prey to
their enemies had they not by their
conversion to Christianity added lofti
ness of faith to steadiness of nerve.
"Before many years shall have pawed
England nnd America, closely and
more closely allied, can dictate peace
to the world and usher In that glad
morning when there shall be universal
peace and the disarmament of the
world. Perhaps It is not so far away
ai now appears, when only such armies
and navies as will be necessnry to per
form police duty will be needed on the
earth. In the progress of Christianity
that day will certainly come when
swords shall be. beated into plow
shares and spears into pruning hooks!
May God hasten that triumphant
hour!" _

Mrs. James S. Sherman Is Winning

M
WASHINGTON, May 23.—James S.
Sherman, vice-president of
these United States, is not to re
tire at the end of his term to the ob
scurity which ordinarily claims a vice
president as its own. Instead, friends
of Mrs. Sherman believe that he will
be widely known by that time as the
husband of the woman who gives the
best home dinners in America. This
will be a case of shining by reflected
light, of course, but it will be none the
less substantial. There is no surer—

LOCAL PASTOR DECLARES !
WAR AGAINST SLUM EVIL
Says Slimy Thing Must Be Killed
in Its Infancy
"Los Angeles should start a fight
against the slum right away," de
clared Reynold E. Blight, minister of
the Los Angeles Fellowship, yesterday
morning. "It la easier to keep the
slum out than It Is to destroy It after
It has arrived. We have our Bonora
town, our lodging houses and our poor
districts, but nothing like the con
gested districts of abject poverty, vice
and disease which afflict eastern cities.
As our population increases and land
valuei rise the slum will Insidiously
Inject itself. Wo must exercise untir
ing vigilance ond crush the foul thing
in Its inclpiency.
"Los Angeles Is destined to be the
metropolis of the west. The opening
of the Panama canal will bring thou-
Bands of European Immigrants to our
shores. The cupidity of landlords and
the rapacity of corporations will try
to crowd them Into tenement houses
and courts. Unless we guard our city
carefully the slum with all Its attend
ant evils will flourish here. With our
great open spaces, our mild climate,
our aroused public Intelligence, the
slum should forever be a thing impos
sible In Los Angeles.
"No city can afford to tolerate a
slum. It Is the breeding place of
crime vice and disease. From it the
pestilence spreads over the city. Every
home is under a shadow so long as
slums exist. Let us be wise In time.
Give our housing commission greater
authority, morn substantial assistance,
and more loyal popular support, and
serve notice upon every interested in
dividual and corporation that Los An
celes will visit with stern punishment
any attempt to establish a slum with
in "this city."
NEW CHRISTIAN CHURCH
AT HOLLYWOOD DEDICATED
Pretty Residence Remodeled into
Edifice for Worship
Tho, new Christian church of Holly
wood at the corner of Gowcr street
and Hollywood boulevnrd was formally
dedicated with Impressive services
yesterday. This church has had a re
markable growth, and tho building:
dedicated yesterday was formerly
known as the Waldron residence it
having beeen entirely remodeled into
a modern and commodious church
building, with the addition of a Sunday
school room. The church has a scat-
Ing capacity of 800 people, the present

Rev. Lloyd Darsie, the pastor, who
assumed charge of the church last
October, had charge of the dedicatory
services yesterday.
The firgt service was held at 11 a. m.,
and at 3 p. m. tho dedicatory service

has been said before. Mrs. Sherman
has won praise by her dinners and her
friends are bound to conclude that Mr.
Sherman is a gentleman of discrimina
tion.
"A vice president ia never over
strong in Washington circles," said
Benator Depew, "but when a vice pres
ident has a wife that can cook as Jim
Sherman's wife can then he surely be
comes of some importance. If Mrs-
Sherman keeps up her dinners people
would better look out or Mrs. Jim will
be srrving dinners from the White

NEW THOUGHT FOLK OPEN
SERVICES AT EBELL CLUB
The First Emerson Church Is For-
mally Established
The use of the mind as a factor In
maintaining health was the theme
upon -which Mrs. Margaret La Grange
spoke yesterday morning at the Instal
lation of the First Emerson New
Thought church. A large part of her
audience was already familiar with the
eloquence and personal charm of the
speaker. Others, however, heard her
for trte first time. The philosophy ex
pounded is based upon deductions
made by many scientists and thinkers.
"Suffering and pain are not a pun
ishment," said the speaker, "but simply
the result of your own breaking of Na
ture's laws." Irritability und petty
fault-finding also are the result of a
misplaced nervous equilibrium, accord
ing to this speaker's very convincing
argument, and the preservation of
poise, confidence in one's own powers
and hope for better success in each un
dertaking is the doctrine which she
sought to teach.
Mrs. La Grange believes that the
philosophical attitude toward life
which she te^fches will bring these
tilings. Certainly her own personality
is a strong argument In establishing
confidence in that belief.
The New Thought center of which
she is the ordained, bishop In Detroit.
Mich., ' >rks over the entire state, and
the California' New Thought associa
tion holds a charter for the establish
ment of similar churches throughout
this state.
"We are hopeful of making the cen
ter a place where the principles of co
operation may be established. New
Thought adherents have hitherto been
so Individualistic that they havo given
no thought to the fact that work in
an association may be of benolit. It
is only recently that this idea has
taken root, and work now is to be
modeled on this plan," said Mrs. La
Grange after the meeting yesterday,
"We will work for health of mind, body
and soul, and are starting the move
ment thus late In the season so that
our members shall be in tho spirit for
moro active work next fall."
The philosophy of the Now Thought
is to be the subject of the Sunday
morning sessions, all of which will be
held at the Rhell eluh house, and tho
poetic and artistic llde of life will be
iln> subject of the evening lectures.
Persona desiring to learn moro fully
tho principles of this order will thus
be jlven a clear understanding of It
throurh attendance at the morning
lectures.
Music for the meetings yesterday
was supplied by a quartet composed of
Mr. and Mrs. Roland Paul, Miss Geor
gia Mills and Clifford Johnson, with
Mrs. Celeste Nellls-Ryus at the piano.
In the evening Mrs. La Grange spoke
on "The Ministry of Art."

'WILL YOU OPEN DOOR TO
HIM?' REV. DAY'S THEME
Pastor of First Congregational
Church Takes Morning Text
from Revelation
"If Christ is to have the supreme
place in modern life it must begin in
the individual," Bald William Horace
Day, beginning his sermon yesterday
morning at the First Congregational
church. He spoke from the text Rev.
3:20 on the subject, "The Place of
Christ in Modern Individual Life." He
said in part:
"The ideas of Christ have become
universal property. Our civilization
grows more and more In conformity
to those ideas. In non-Christian lands
His thoughts are permeating the hearts
of men who never acknowledge His
supremacy. In our own land a multi
tude who are outside the church could
say with Paul, 'We have the mind of
Christ." In a sense the thinker has a
real place in individual lives in whom
his ideas are accepted and unsaid, but
the power of impersonal ideas are far
below what would be true if the in
dividual forms a personal friendship
with the thinker. I have known the
books of certain men and have been
deeply liii.eißai.eu, but when in my siu
dent days I came under these men and
learned to know them they became
dynamic forces in my life. No man
can fully know or obey the mind of
Christ till he has learned to know
Christ. The greatest ministry which
He can render comes only through a
personal relationship.
MODERN TEXDENCIBS
"The eighteenth century has been
called the century of philosophy and
the nineteenth the century of history.
The Intellectual life of each of these
has tended to dim our sense of per
sonality. The eighteenth produced in
its search for truth atheism and deism,
The one denied God altogether or
placed Him afar off as an absent who,
having pet the machine running, went
away, leaving It to take care of Itself.
In either case the sense of the person
ality of God was dimmed. The nine
teenth century In Its historical search
for reality often left men agnostics
or pantheists. Again personality was
lessened. The evolutionist's Interest in
the process of becoming was so great
as to lessen his care for the individual
and he often looked upon the man as
a tiny section of the whole whose per
sonal worth was a negligible quantity.
The sense of personality has been les
sened till men find our time in danger
of losing that stern sense of personal
responsibility to a personal God.
"Our Industrial development has been
busy pushing us In the same direction.
The corporation has become so great
as to obscure the person. The machine
Is too big for the individual to count.
Modern industry is like a huge balloon
which men are trying to make dirig
ible. But they have so far been unable
to bring it fully under personal control.
The thing is far too big for the indi
vidual. The only thing that can fully
make this vast, complex organism -we
call modern life dirigible by the laws
of life which Jesus came t» declare la
personal, individual loyalty to Him.
TRUST IN HIM
"We have lost sight of the personal
God whom Jesus called Father and o£
the personal, eternal Christ who ever
lives to declare Him. We are like
the boy wading- out into the pool for
some floating object. As he keeps feet
on the bottom he gets deeper and deep
er and he can hear the voice of his
friend on the high bank who tell 3 him
how to proceed till the water is over
his head, then he must sacrifice his
touch with the bottom and swim for it
if he is to hear that voice and win
his quest. Modern men will have to
miss knowing all the bottom facts and
trust the personal guidance of the
groat Friend who can't help us till we
trust Him.
"The personal supremacy of Christ
in individual life must be reasserted
religion. This is the greatest task of
Christianity to modern life. Lead men
to seek the way, the truth and the life
in friendship with Christ. 'Men of
every creed, 1 a great German has been
telling us, 'are longing for a more
active religious life and a greater out
put of religious energy.' And the per
sonal relation is the fundamental one.
Men differ in intelligence. If religion
were primarily a thing of creed and
knowledge few there would be that
would find it. But any man, wise or
foolish, strong or weak, knows enough
to feel the power of personal friend
ship. That is why 'whosoever will may
come.' You have never attempted this
personal relation; you have tried to
have the mind of Christ and you wish
you could find this thing you hear oth
ers describe. What others say does
not convey any reality to you. It is
very true my attempt to tell you of
my friendship with Him may fail, but
Will you make your own attempt to ad
mit Him to your life with this simple
conviction that back of His own words,
•L,o, I am with you always, 1 back of
the words of the text which a follower
of His years after His death believed
he heard Him say, 'Behold, I stand at
the door and knock,' and those of an
other disciple who wrote, 'It is no long
er I that live but Christ that liveth in
me.' Will you start with this thought
that back "of these deep words is a
reality which you may share? The
test of the reality of His power by
which you have tried to let Him direct
your life will be in the new power you
will have to endure the hour of hard
ness.
THE PROTBCTOR
"The calmness with which the friends
of Christ are able to meet the shocks
of life is wonderful. A certain person
has been bereaved of one after an
other in the family circle till not one
was loft. Another looking on wondered
at the steadfast courage of that lito
and said, 'She has something we do
not have.' No less will this personal
supremacy of Christ In your life prove
itself with new power to achieve what
you could not have done before. Could
we read the story of these strong lives
here this morning, men and women
who have done things and In doing
have been true to Him, we should II nd
I that clear consciousness that in the
hour of struggle when achievement
hung in the balance that what they
could not have done was wrought be
cause the Christ-strengthened man can
do the impossible thing which duty
demands. That He may save you from
the weakness of the old sin, from the
guilt of the old wrong and that having
freed you from the past He may give
you a new energy to endure and to
achieve He whispers,
" 'Behold I stand at the door and
" 'if any hear my voice and open the
door I will come in to him and sup
With him and he with me.'
"Will you open the door?

Around Hotel Corridors
AL SELISY of the Hollenbeck ag
gregation has a girl friend up
In one of the San Bernardino
valley towns. Along about the last of
April Relby had a letter telling him
that she had been chosen queen of the
May and that she was going to do the
Maypole dance. A commercial man
had just told Al that he was going
to be in that particular valley town
on May day. After reading the letter
Al called the traveler over to the desk
and told him all about the girl and her
selection us May queen.
"Promise me, old man, that you'll
go out and pee her perform."
"I promise," replied the commercial
man.
Yesterday he was back at the Hol
lenbock for the first time this month.
As soon as he registered Al was all
fussy to know what Impression the
girl up In the valley had made. "Did
you see her do the Maypole dance?"
he asked, anxiously.
"Yes, and I couldn't toll at times
which was the polo and which was tho
girl." replied the knight of the grip,
heartlessly.
A hotel man who rnn up from Venice
yesterday to talk things over with
some of the locp.l boys says that comet
parties have bi'en quite the fad down
on the beach. The main ingredients
are an automobile, a ride alone: the
beach and numerous libntions. When
tha r.-,Tr.ct was showing up between "
and 4 In the morning, It was the cus
tom for the faddist to start on the.
comet ride with his friends at about
midnight. Along the way ho drank
with frequency, accelerating fre
quency, to the memory of Halley. On
the way back he Incidentally looked
for the comet. Tho record at present
Is held by a man down at Venice who
positively asserts that he saw four
comets with one look.
"I have an Irish friend back in Al

Is a politician, and he has picked up
quite a bit of money in the course of
his career. Last summer he decided
to take a trip abroad. After he came
back I met him on the street one day.
" 'Did you have a fine time?' I asked
him.
" 'Of course I did,' he replied.
"Did you visit the theaters in
Paris?'
" "Sure, I saw all the plays.'
" 'And did you go to the cafes?'
