DEPUTIES CHECK
FASTING PROGRAM
James Butler and Famished
Women Removed from Cult's
House of Mystery
GIRL APPEALS FOR CRUST
Physicians at County Hospital
Receive Patients and Believe
They Will Recover
Armed with warrants charging? In
sanity, officers yesterday entered the
"house of mystery," at 6913 Benner
strict, wherein John O'Neal died, and
removed Mrs. Nellie Boyle, Alice
Griffin and James Hutler, members of
a religious cult, to tho county hospital,
where they will be held pending an In
vestigation as to their sanity.
For five WMkl these people have
fasted, believing that they had been
ccimnianiied to do so. John Irving
O'Neal was the head of the cult, and
death ended his fast Saturday morn
ing. Immediately tho authorities de
cided to take action. Yesterday,
shortly after the noon hour, Under
Sheriff Brane, accompanied by Depu
ties Agulrre, Gillis und Wright, en :
tc.il iiic iiuusu uiid read wai ranis io
tho bedridden people. ■ They protested
against* being removed.
Two ambulances were backed up to
the curb. Tho girl was the first to be
carried out. She moaned and cried
plteously. The lack of food had great
ly weakened her. Both women were
taken'to the couhty hospital. The offi
cers soon returned and took the man
to the detention ward of the hospital,
where all three will be nursed and
then brought before a lunacy commis
sion. The complaints against them
Were sworn to by Deputy Sheriff
Agulrre.
Because of their weakened condition
they wore allowed only warm milk,
though the girl requested a crust of
bread. This morning thry will receive
solid food. The physicians at the
county hospital believe the trio will
recover.
Tho body of O'Neal is being held at
a local undertaking establishment. Hln
followers refuse to comment on his
death.
BROTHER OF RELIGIOUS
FANATIC WIRES POLICE
Asks That Victims of Mania Be
Cared for
Two telegrams from relatives of John
Irving O'Neal, leader of a religious
cult, who died after fasting for five
weeks, and of Mrs. Nellie Boyle and
her niece, Alice Griffin, who, with
James Butler, are in a serious condi
tion at ' the county hospital as the
result of their long fast, were received
at the detective bureau last night,
asking the condition of the religious
fanatics.
The first message is from M. G.
O'Neal of Dallas, Texas, who Is pre
sumed to bo a brother of the dead
man. The sender evidently is ignorant
of the death of the religious leader,
and asks that everything be done to
assist tho victim of religious mania
back to health.
The other message is signed "George
A. Griffin." It is dated Brooklyn, N.
V., and states that the sender wishes
every attention be given Mrs. Boyle
and Miss Griffin and that ho wtll send
for them when they are able to travel.
Griffin, it Is understood, is a brother
of Mrs. Boyle and the uncle of Miss
Griffin.
Last night tho attendants at the
county hospital reported a slight im
provement In the condition of the
three patients. I

vide for Girl
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—Dr. George
A. Griffin said tonight that ho was a
brother-in-law of John Irving O'Neil,
who died In Los Angeles yesterday,
and that Alice Griffin is his niece.
O'Neil, he said, was formerly a
wholesale liquor dealer, first in New
York and then In Paterson, N. J.
Five or six years ago he went to
Dallas, Texas, where he became a Bap
tist minister. Fron. Dallas he went to
Bisbee, Ariz., where ho assumed an
other pastorate, which he lost after a
disagreement with the congregation
over his proclivity for street mission
ary work among the derelicts.
Six months ago Dr. Griffin heard
from O'Neil In Los Angeles, the last
word ho received until notice of his
death. The doctor has telegraphed to
Los Angeles, offering to provide for
Alice Griffin if she comes to Brooklyn.

REPORT ABANDONED CHILD
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Moore of 1369
East Twenty-first street appeared at
Central police headquarters yesterday
afternoon and reported that they had
in their possession an abandoned baby
boy, aged seven months. . The Moores
informed the officers that 'about three
months ago a man and woman who
gave their names as "Schultz" left
the boy with them, agreeing to pay
for its support. The couple made two
small payments and then recently dis
appeared. Mrs. Moore wishes to let
somebody take the child, while her
husband wants to keep the youngster,
he being quite fond of him. The case
will be investigated.

W. C. T.U. Department
JULIA A. GARRISON
In writing of the different depart
ments of work in which our W. C. T.
U. women are engaged there is none
at the present time more important
than that of "Temperance and Labor."
The aim of this department Is to keep
our membership in touch with the best
social thought and practice of the day;
to advance the interests of labor and
enlist the co-operation erf wageworkers
everywhere in the overthrow of the
liquor traffic. The methods are con
ferences for the study of the labor
question, circular letters, addresses,
articles for tho press and the study in
our unions of standard books on the
history of labor, and especially of the
present labor conditions; also the study
of the basis upon which our penal sys
tem rests with tho hope that in time it
shall be established upon higher and
more righteous principles.
Women all over the country are tak
ing a deeper Interest In labor problems
than ever before. Working woraei*
wage earners—of whom there are more
than 5,000.000 in the United States, are
beginning to organize lor their own
protection against the rapacity and
greed of their employers who would
exact long, weary hours of toll for a
wage barely sufficient to keep soul and
body together. They are organizing to
protect their sons and daughters who.
In this ago of money worship, of greed
and gold, are obliged to sell their man
hood and their womanhood In the
great labor market in order to secure
and hold a Job, which perhaps others
havo abandoned and gone on strike
because it was such a poorly paid job.
It has been said: "The labor question
is always more than an economic ques
tion—a struggle as to hours and wages
—It Is pre-eminently a spiritual ques
tion wherein the souls of men, made In
the likeness and imago of God, are at
stake. The question as to what kind
of men and women employes are be
coming through Influences imposed
upon them by the conditions of their
toil, takes precedence over any question
of profit."
There is a commodity in the market
which has the magic power of creating
more than it costs to produce it. This
Is the labor power of the human being:
the wage worker. He sells It for a
certain amount of money, which* com
petition reduces to the average neces
saries of life required to produce it;
to so much food, clothing and shelter,
which are absolutely necessary to re
cuperate his lost powers on the next
morning and to reproduce a new gen
eration of wago workers after this one
Is gone. Almost all above this goes
.to the employing class, and Is called
"the surplus value."
Students of sociology are finding out
In recent years that there Is nothing
valued so cheaply as human life and
energy. This fact is being demon
strated by workers in mines, factories,
sweat-shops, and even in the vast
army of ordinary toilers.
Where is the Btory and where is the song
Of the heroes of peace and the martyrs of
wrong?
They flßht their battles ln^Bhop and mine,
They die at their post and make no sign.
And tho living envy the fortunate dead.
As they light for a pittance of butterless bread.
They herd llko beasts in a. slaughter pen.
They live like cattle, but suffer like men.
Is that Ufa that has nothing to hope or gain
But 111-paid labor and beds of pain?
Fame, where Is your story and where Is your
For the martyrs of peace and the victims of
wrong?
Rev. Charles R. Brown, in Hfs "So
cial Message of tho Modern Bulplt,"
says: "It is a universal law that men
should bear one another's burdens—
any effort to effect a permanent es
cape from that obligation is as futile
as the effort to avoid the responsibili
ties imposed by the law of gravitation.
It is a universal law that the strong
should bear the infirmities of the weak,
not allowing them to be crushed by
disproportionate burdens. Stociety
must accept its life, if it is to con
tinue to live at all, upon those terms.
It Is a universal laV that we are all
•members one of another. Truly, 'no
man liveth unto himself." "
In sharp contrast to these main
springs of action is the policy of greedy
capital, "which binds heavy burdens
grievous to be borne and lays them on
men's shoulders, but they themselves
will not move them with one of their
fingers." Evidences of these burdens
are seen in the methods of the sweat
shops and tenement house misery; In
the enslaving power of mines and fac
tories; in the monopolies of coal and
oil supplies. These methods present
pictures more awful and lurid than any
the world has ever seen before.
Senator Young says: "The practical
application of loVe would permeate so
ciety until private gain la the means

of production and distribution, and
profit by the labor of our brothers,
would disappear, even as cannibalism
and ownership of the bodies of men
have disappeared. The foundation of
an enduring republic is formed, not in
material wealth, but in the active prin
ciple of love, which would produce food
because others need to eat, and not
for the profit gained; who would man
ufacture clothing In the spirit of him
who said, 'I was naked and ye clothed
me!' "
But, however much we may realize
present conditions, however glowingly
we may picture .the beauties of the
Ideal, however thoroughly the con
science be aroused —If we fail to use
the only means whereby we may work
In unison to bring about our ideals,
we shall be, at best, only agitators in
the great reforms destined to move
the world. In this land of ours we
have the remedy provided: "Tls the
little whfte ballot.
Our beloved Frances Willara said:
"Now, in these best days of the- Son
of Man we see the ax laid at the foot
of the tree When the proposition is
soberly made to abolish poverty and
make misery a phantom of the past.
Now it is openly declared, and a great
group of people in live earnest are
grouped around the banner with a now
device. 'Evil is not a necessity. But
no material evil is gTeater than hope
less poverty.' The pagan political
economy, whose utmost wisdom has
never reached higher than 'the law of
supply and demand,' Is fast becoming
discredited fn factory and shop, pul
pit and pew, and the law of co-opera
tive commonwealth looms up In place
of It. Nothing recurs to my mind with
such frequency and Joyous hope as
this soliloquy: 'I wonder why we don't
set at work and abolish poverty in this
great generous land within the next
half century?' We manage our public
schools and great universities as the
equal property of all; we carry our
entire postal system, our water supply,
our parka, streets and highways in
the same manner. . . . All this
works well. . . . Why should we
practically give away the right to
build railroad and street car lines, to
manufacture gas, to corporate groups
of men? Why do we not make the
money basts of the country, not a
mound of metal, white or yellow, dug
out of the ground and piled up in our
treasury vaults In Washington, but
the country itself with 'I promise to
pay' gleaming across its breast from
Mt. Katahdin to Mt. Shasta? Beloved
comrades, whatever subject we may
talk of here, no other the wide world
over tingles with life like this one."

RETURNS FROM HAWAII
WITH IMPROVED HEALTH
Mr. and Mrs. George D. Ruddy
Full of Admiration for
Lovely Islands
Keenly alive to nil the climatic |
charms and scenic: attractions of the I
Hawaiian Islands, but appreciating |
mure Strongly than ever that claim ,
which Southern California exerts over I
all her residents, Mr. and Mrs. George;
Drake Uuddy are once more eetab- ;
lishiil in their beautiful homo in Wil
ahire boulevard.
When this popular and prominent ;
couple determined t>> leave the home:
they had made for themselves In this
City, regrets were heard on every Bide.
Mrs. Ruddy's fruil health demanded
an Immediate change, and Honolulu,
much vaunted, seemed most desirable.
With almost no time lor farewells,
the house was dosed, furniture packed \
and shipped ;md passage taken upon :
an island steamer.
News of the return of the travelers
was most welcome and letters, tele
grttma and verbal messages ot greet
ing reached even to Sail Franclscq a
they disembarked from their home- j
corning steamer.
Mrs. Jluddy has returned with her
health wonderfully restored and full
of admiration for the lovely islands.
-\\.' went out there Intent upon se
curing ;i pineapple plantation," she !
said yesterday afternoon, "but wo soon:
discovered that all the pineapple land \
near Honolulu is la the control of the
great corporations. One may buy
sugar stock or pineapple stuck, and i
It la very remunerative, but nothing
In the actual plantations may be had
unli bs one goes to one of the nearby
Islands. And by the way," she con
tinued, "did you know that Honolulu |
is not upon the island of Hawaii at J
all, but on the island of Oahu. We i
did llnd that it would be possible to |
secure delightful environment, all the '
advantages of climate and acreage, ;
upon reasonable terms by going to
the Island of Maui, about eighty miles
from Honolulu, but this did not seem
desirable to us, although it undoubt
edly would have proved a profitable
financial investment." I
The perfect climate and beauties of t
Honolulu's setting, with" ocean and
mountains, luxuriant foliage and de- ]
licious and little known fruits, proved
a temptation which the Californians
were unable to resist, and accordingly
they set up their Lares and Penates
in a beautiful cottage in Manoa val
ley. This is one of the fashionable 1
suburbs of Honolulu and has a scenic
environment which, according to Mrs.
Ruddy, must be wonderful.
"High mountains with deep purple
shadows, wonderful green lights, white
clouds in the sapphire blue of the sky
and freshening rain showers a dozen
times a day." This is a description to
lure any one to that magic isle, and
when the speaker added that the rains
there are called "liquid sunshine" and
never last more than a few minutes,
that thero was always a breeze but
never a chill In che air, then did the
country seem indepd desirable.
Porches in Honolulu are called
"lanais," and every one eats-and prac
tically lives out of doors. Many of
the early missionaries carried with
them the architectural ideas of New
England, just as they took that hard,
stern Puritan relifion. Either seems
hopelessly out of place in this warm,
balmy clime. Recent residences are
built in style more harmonious with
the character of the country, and new
comers there refuse to accept anything
in the way of houses that Is not
planned to combine picturesque with
useful qualifications.
"It is a beautiful land," said Mrs.
Ruddy, "and I hope that every one of
my friends may .sometime take the
trip. There is rest and relaxation
thero. Freedom from hurry and
anxiety, and both business and pleas
ure moves along hi leisurely fashion.
There are many automobilesi more
than I have ever seen in a city of its
size, but they never run over any one.
They do not hurry there. . Every one
has plenty of time. That is Just the
trouble we found with it. After a
few weeks there we realized the lack
of that progressive movement to which
we were accustomed. It is impossible
there to keep in touch with events.
One does not know what Is happening
either in the United States or the east
ern continent. News of political,
scientific-and, artistic progress is scarce
and we found ourselves unable to do
without it." «
Before her denavture for the Ha
waiian islands Mrs. Ruddy was serv
ing upon the boards of five important
clubs. She is undecided whether to
take up so many obligations again, but
said, "I have returned home full of
strength and ideas tor work. I want
to help wherever 3 am needed. Life
for me means that I must do my part
as I go along."
It seems that residents of the island
make frequent pilgrimages to one con
tinent or the other. Some come via
San Francisco to New York, while
others journey across the Pacific to
Chinese and Japanese ports and thence
to European cities, that they may be
reinvigorated mentally and find that
stimulus without which the mind
grows dull.
Many of the Hawaiian women are
beautiful and very wealthy. Some of
the richest of them wear garments in
the native stylo, although made of the
richest materials. Hats are only, worn
for ceremonious occasions. At other
times the women, natives and new
comers as well, find a lace scarf or
veil most comfortable. Mon wear
white linen suits and look and feel in
accord with the climate, and white is
almost the universal co3tume for all
occasions.
Among the delightful fruits if papaia,
which looks something like a can
taloupe, only is more yellow. It Is
eaten with salt and lemon juice over
it, and proves delightful to the palate,
'at the same time proving most salu
tary from a standpoint of health.
Just before leaving Honolulu Mrs.
Ruddy wrote a short poem which was
published in the pacific Commercial
Advertiser, one of the prominent
island papers. It is reprinted here
that her friends may enjoy the poetic
fantasy to which this beautiful trip
wakened her.

Calm Joy your soul invites.
Live as Hawallans live.

NEAR THIS CITY
Have you ever hoped to have a horns
of one, five or ten ncres—on the foot
hill slopes near Lu3 Angeles?
Haven't you wished that some friend
had taken you by the shoulder and
made you pick up a few acres at Holly
wood, Altadena or Kierra Madre before
they advanced from $300 up to $3000 an
acre? Those places have passed for
ever from your easy reach.
The Western J'^mplre, California's
famous homeseekera' and rural home
Journal, is now completing an organi
zation of 200 local and eastern readers
to take over 1400 acres of land at Sun
land, in the original Monte Vista val
'ey. It Is a mountain-hidden valley
seven miles back of Glendale. This
district surpasses Altadena or even
Redlands in Its richness and grandeur,
and is only fifteen miles from *.he
Chamber of Commerce building In Los
Angeles. Sunland's Monto Vista val
ley has tne best climatic protection of
any district on the coast side of the
Sierras. Come and see It now.
John McGroarty, the famous poet of
our southland, says of hit visit: "And
I saw a vale that day as fair as any in
all the Land of the Heart's Desire. I
was ashamed to think that I had let
the years go by and had wandered far
in quest of beauty, while all the time
Sunland's Monte Vista had been there
in its ravishing loveliness Just beyond
the threshold of my door."
A few heads of famine* may Join
this organization, which secures this
land at a low wholesale price. Improves
it with roadways, lownsite, schools
and trolley line, and distributes the
land to members so that the total cost
to you is not one-quarter of prevailing
prices In the open retail market.
When this kind of land Is opened It
goes up beyond your reach. The dis
trict lies in an open valley running
from Pasadena west to Fernando, In
cluding La Canada, La Crescenta and
Monte Vista—Sun'.a.nd. Don't try to
imagine about its conditions—come and
investigate. It Is only one hour from
town.
The editor of the Western Kmpire
has managed the location of eight suc
cessful town projects on this same
plan.
