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 CLAIMS O'NEIL WAS ONCE WHOLESALE LIQUOR DEALER Uncle of Alice Griffin Will Pro 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. SIXTEEN AUTOISTS MUST ANSWER CHARGES TODAY As a result of the, activity of the motorcycle squad last night sixteen autoists were arrested in various parts of the city on charges of violating the muffler ordinance.

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. Mrs. George Drake Ruddy, Who Has Given Up Home Near Honolulu IBaEMr * r •>' IIP ;, t?S 5 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 LOS ANGELES HERALO: 'MONDAY MORJOKG, AUUUST Tl, 1910. —Photo by Hemenway. 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." Personal Mention B.

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. INVITATION TO HONOLULU Oh come and live the life. If you woulil understand!

FOOTHILL FARMS 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.
