BIGGER TENT FOR REVIVAL TONIGHT (Continued from Page One) Pharah's dream and the finally calling in of Joseph. He proceeded to name each fat cow and then the lean one which disposed of it. The first was commendable ambition. Opposed to its illegitimate just after power. Then there is good literature, opposed by trashy books; necessary and commendable social relations opposed by modern jazz life; appetite, opposed by gluttony and intemperance; conversation, elevating opposed by idle; business, necessary opposed by avarice. Some paragraphs from his sermon: "I believe in dreams—I don't mean the kind that follow a heavy meal late at night. I believe that men nowadays often receive warnings and solutions for questions through dreams." "Pity the man who sleeps so soundly that God's alarm clock cannot awaken him." "Excavators have recently uncovered a papyrus record of the seven lean and seven fat years referred to in this text. A lot of higher critics who call a spade a spade are becoming afraid of what a spade will call them. I believe the Bible from 'kivver to kivver.' That's why a lot of you higher critics are preaching to empty seats." "God speed the day when the 19th amendment is enforced the same as the amendment against slavery. My grandfather was bankrupted when his 500 slaves were released. It was right that he shouldn't receive a dollar for them because he was doing something wrong." "God loves the sinner but not his sins. A doctor will do everything he can for his patinet but he doesn't love a carbuncle." The seating capacity for the re-entry will be practically doubled. COURTHOUSE DOINGS A petition to dissolve the Richfield Southern Oil Co., with offices at Anaheim, as voted by a majority of stockholders at a meeting held recently, was on file today.

A doctor will do everything he can for his patinet but he doesn't love a carbuncle. The seating capacity for the revival will be practically doubled today to accommodate the increasing crowds that are attending the evangelistic services. It is hoped to complete the work today, and in any event the tent will be in condition for the usual service tonight. The former tent had room for 1500 persons. The enlarged tent will sent between 2500 and 3000, part of the larger capacity being due to the using of space formerly wasted. The Downey Tent Co. had the tent on the lot at an early hour and a large force of men started work. The same sort of bench seats will be erected as before. The preachers and chorus will occupy practically the same location as before, except that the platform will be enlarged.

McGarrah of New York City will preach tonight at the Anaheim Presbyterian church?" taking for his text the words, "And unto the Church in Philadelphia, write: 'Behold I set before you an open door which no man can shut.'" Dr. McGarrah is one of the most widely known and most sought after men in the Presbyterian church. He has visited more than 2000 churches in every state in the union; has addressed hundreds of institutes and conventions for churches of all denominations, has written six books including, "A Modern Church Program," "Modern Church Finance," "Modern Church Management," etc., besides writing many articles for the "Ladies Home Journal" and other magazines on such themes as, "100 per cent Christians," "Woman's Place and Work in the Modern Church," "How to Increase the Spiritual Efficiency SEES IMPORTANCE OF FINE EDIFICES Legion "40 and 8" Stage Big "Wreck" The tri-county meeting and initiation of the 40 and 8, an organization of the American Legion, as held last night at the Concordia club on West Broadway, there being about five-hundred members present from San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino Orange and Los Angeles-Co. From 35 to 40 candidates were initiated. The initiation was preceded b a parade which formed at the intersection of Broadway and Lemon-st, marched east to Claudina, north to Center, west to Clementine, and south to Broadway an dhence to the Concordia club. The parade was featured by much noise from the shooting of fire-crackers, and a miniature box-car was drawn by a miniature engine, entitled "Casey Jones," owned by H. D. Chase and W. J. Sellers, ex-service men who are touring the country. A "wreck" was staged at the Concordia Club. The box-car represented those in France which during the war transported 40 men and eight horses. The meeting was staged by the voluresses of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange-co., and the large delegations from the Los Angeles and San Diego voltures were a surprise. Legion men said. Each delegation brot "goofs", otherwise called candidates. Speakers Included "Snapper" Ingram, grand chef de gare of Califf, Judge Cavanaugh of San Bernardino and Attorney West, of Santa Ana. RENEW BATTLE FOR POSTAL BILL WASHINGTON, Jan. 22—The $68,000,000 battle for higher postal wages, to be financed by in- SLAYER PASSES ANOTHER CRISIS SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.—"Dance mad" Dorothy Ellingson, who murdered her mother ten days ago, successfully passed another crisis in her "jazz land" career today. After the young matricide's attorney, Alexander Mooslin, demanded a continuance of the case which was up for consideration in juvenile-court, to determine if the child defendant should be sent to a reformatory or tried for murder, Judge Frank Murasky ordered the hearing postponed for one week. At the brief session Mooslin appeared for the girl, who was kept under heavy guard as the judge's chambers adjoined the courtroom while police clubbed a wild mob which milled about the room. Judge Murasky's decision to talk to the girl and her relatives during the coming week, was regarded as significant. It was thought conclusive evidence that the matricide defendant would escape with only the penalty of remaining in the girl's home at Ventura until she is 23. Next Thursday Judge Murasky will definitely decide whether Dorothy must stand trial in superior court for murder. "You're going to order her to the superior court for trial, aren't you?" Judge Murasky was asked by a reporter. The magistrate with reddened face said: "You are somewhat previous my boy." Dorothy, for the first time since her arrest, refused today to be photographed. While officers used their sticks to beat back the crowds, Dorothy begged photographers not to take her picture and held her little brown touque over her face. She appeared to have had her fill of publicity. The young super-flipper appeared in be high spirits as she left House Increase Plant erection of a house in Fullerton Mutual were taken this annual meeting of the annual re-derarchant, secretary also received, and elected.

VACANCIES TO Jan. 22—Gov- today named B. S., B. Gross of San- acancles on the Sun- ard of harbor com- church. He has visited more than 2000 churches in every state in the union; has addressed hundreds of institutes and conventions for churches of all denominations, has written six books including, "A Modern Church Program," "Modern Church Finance," "Modern Church Management," etc., besides writting many articles for the "Ladies' Home Journal" and other magazines on such themes as, "100 per cent Christians." "Woman's Place and Work in the Modern Church," "How to Increase the Practical and Spiritual Efficiency of Your Church," etc. For several years, Dr. Walker has been eager to arrange for a visit by Dr. McGarrah, but until last November, had not been able to do so. Two months ago, how- ever, Dr. McGarrah promised to include the Anaheim church in his itinerary for this date. Before starting east yesterday evening to see his dying mother, Dr. Walker expressed his earnest desire that all members and friends of the church make sacrifices if necessary to hear Dr. McGarrah's great sermon tonight. After the service, which opens at 7:30, Dr. McGarrah will confer with the leaders of the church and its organizations on the theme, "How can this church accomplish more for Christ?" All officers of the church, of the Sunday school and of all organiza- tions of men and women and young people, are asked to attend this conference. At the Presbyterian church last night, about fifty men sat down at 6:30 to a delightful repast served by the ladies of the church. Their pleasure was marred however, by the absence of Dr. Walker, the pastor, who yesterday evening was called to Philadelphia to the bedside of his dying mother. After the dinner, the address of the evening was delivered by Dr. A. F. McGarrah of New York, an officer of the National Board of the Presbyterian church. Nearly three months ago, arrangements were made to have Dr. McGarrah speak to the men of the church on January 21 and to preach to the entire congregation tonight. Dr. McGarrah is a specialist in inspiring churches to attempt larger things for Christ, and in counseling as to methods by which churches can accomplish more along both spiritual and practical lines. For several years, he was a salesman, rising rapidly to a place of responsibility, so that his last month's income as a salesman was exactly eight times his first month's income as a minister. But he became convinced that religion and the church are the most important interests in the country and he desired to invest his life and talents to serve God and humanity rather than in securing a large income for himself. Dr. McGarrah took as his theme "The Pre-eminence of Religion" RENEW BATTLE FOR POSTAL BILL WASHINGTON, Jan. 22—The $68,000,000 battle for higher postal wages, to be financed by increased postal rates, was renewed in the senate today when debate was opened on the Moses omnibus bill. The new measure was called up by Sen. Moses, Rep. of New Hampshire, its author, to carry out a pledge given postal workers three weeks ago when the administration ranks of the senate voted to sustain Pres. Coolidge's veto of the old postal salary bill. The rate increases would be only temporary, running merely from April 15 to Feb. 15, 1926. The new rate bill, drafted originally, as a compromise would meet the president's objections to salary increases by providing a means of raising the necessary revenue. With this accomplished: It was said, the president will not oppose the salary increases. In its present form, American newspaper and magazine publishers would make a portion of the increases but the greatest burden would be borne by the parcel post. WINS BALM SUIT FROM AGED LOVER SACRAMENTO, Calif. Jan. 22—Mrs. Eleanor Myra Weston, Oakland musician, today was a victor in her $50,000 damage suit for breach of promise against Dr. Geo. H. Jackson, octogenarian physician and capitalist of Sacramento, having been awarded the sum of one dollar. In the witness chair the doctor testified that he had employed the plaintiff, who gave her age as 35, as a stenographer but denied he ever discussed marriage with her. "A man at my age has no use for a wife," he testified. Letters written by Mrs. Weston to Dr. Jackson threatening that "If he took her for a boob, two could play at that game," were read in court. Other letters written by Mrs. Weston at about the same time to E. D. Philbrook of Los Angeles, which were couched in endearing terms, were also read in court. Mrs. E. D. Philbrook, wife of the Los Angeles resident testified she found these letters in her husband's pocket and that after she found them she left her husband. When asked why she used such terms as "dearle" and "tover" in her letters to Philbrook, while she claimed to be engaged to Dr. Jack- Dorothy weak from her ordeal of yesterday when she appeared in police court and won her fight in the court by having her case transferred to the juvenile court, was scheduled to appear today before Juvenile Judge Murasky. Before Judge Murasky the fate of the girl who committed matricide and then "steeped out" to a jazz party, seeking gin and "sheila," may be definitely determined this morning. Judge Murasky was expected to either order the child-defendant held for the superior court on murder charges or order her sentenced until she is 23 to the girls' home at Ventura. The young matricide's condition E. Merchant, secretary, E. C. Miles, W. B. Henry Stute, additions TO, Jan. 22.—Gov. today named B. S. am. B. Gross of San Jacques on the San ward of harbor community can accomplish more along both spiritual and practical lines. For several years, he was a salesman, rising rapidly to a place of responsibility, so that his last month's income as a salesman was exactly eight times his first month's income as a minlater. But he became convinced that religion and the church are the most important interests in the country and he desired to invest his life and talents to serve God and humanity rather than in securing a large income for himself. Dr. McGarrah took as his theme "The Pre-eminence of Religion and the Church." He declared that religion is the basis of social progress and economic prosperity as well as of spiritual redemption. He compared Canada with Mexico, declaring that it as cost us hundreds of millions of dollars to enforce peace on the Mexican border while for a century it had not cost us a dollar to keep the peace with Canada, "because Canada is a Bible studying nation and Mexico is not." He compared England with Russia, Holland with Bulgaria, the United States with China and India, adding that the only truly prosperous nations today are those where Christ is recognized and the Bible is studied and lived by. Dr. McGarrah declared that the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon nations over those of the Orient is not due to racial superiority but to the superior values of Christianity. He said: "Two thousand years ago, before the missionaries brought the Bible and the truth of Christ to our forefathers, the Chinese and Hindos were far above our ancestors in culture and morality. Caesar called our English, French, German, Scandinavian, and other ancestors in northern Europe barbarians and so they were until the missionaries came." "A South American diplomat said not long ago to Mr. Babson, author of "The Fundamentals of Prosperity," 'Why is North America so far in advance of South America, morally, politically, socially and economically? I think I can tell you, for I have lived long enough in the United States to realize that our country was established by men who sought God rather than gold, while South America was settled by Europeans who sought gold first and cared not for God.'" "Do you Presbyterians in Anaheim believe that religion is man's supreme concern? Do you believe could play at that game, were read in court." Other letters written by Mrs. Weston at about the same time to E. D. Philbrook of Los Angeles, which were couched in endearing terms, were also read in court. Mrs. E. D. Philbrook, wife of the Los Angeles resident testified she found these letters in her husband's pockets and that after she found them she left her husband. When asked why she used such terms as "dearle" and "lover" in her letters to Philbrook, while she claimed to be engaged to Dr. Jackson, the plaintiff in the case replied that such terms were usual appellations in musical and bohemian circles. Mrs. Philbrook recalled to the witness stand and asked if she communicated with Mrs. Weston regarding the finding of the letters in her husband's pockets, said she had written the plaintiff the most "insulting letter" she could pen. CALLED TO MOTHER'S SIDE Rev. Thomas H. Walker left last evening over the Santa Fe for Pittaburg, Penna., in response to a telegram from his mother's bedside. As the mother is 86 years of age her condition may be gravely uncertain. During Mr. Walker's absence services will be conducted by chosen substitutes. with me that there is none other name under heaven whereby men and nations can be saved except the name of Christ and his gospel! If so, you ought to honor God and make the necessary sacrifices to enlarge your space for Sunday school work so as to give better training to more children that they may grow up Christians and be a credit and a blessing to themselves, to the community and to the world." Dr. McGarrah remarked that the church was not as attractive as many of the local buildings for business, banks, etc. Neither is it so well equipped and there are hundreds of children who are in no Sunday school. He spoke of the Stockton Calif., church where the Sunday school has troubled in three years after the new building was dedicated and said: "The membership of your church and school would be two or three times as great if you had a modern ample building for the past 15 years." I won't appear against Keith Lord and those other boys," she said. "I refuse to testify against them. You can't drag me into court to make me harm them." "I deserve whatever I get in this mess but why drag in the innocent? I refuse to testify one word against anyone accused of contributing to my delinquency." Dorothy's attorney, Alexander Mooslin, said he would battle today against any attempt to go ahead with the case and would demand a continuance. He said he would insist upon his legal right to prepare a proper defense for the child-defendants along the lines of "mental illness." "I will oppose questioning the girl today and will insist upon our statutory right to a continuance," Mooslin said. Reserve police in large numbers were ordered on duty to prevent a re-occurrence of yesterday's near riot, when a huge crowd, the largest ever attending a court hearing in San Francisco, surged about the Hall of Justice in an effort to view the red headed girl who confessed she murdered her mother. Custain of Detectives Duncan Mathison announced he would again question Dorothy in an effort to determine where she and HER PASSES MOTHER CRISIS FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.—Dorothy Ellingson, her mother ten successfully passed an in her "jazz land" way. She young matricide's attered her mother ten successfully passed an in her "jazz land" way. Her youth matricide's attered her mother ten successfully passed an in her "jazz land" way. Matheson said he would also again ask Dorothy to sign compliants against the young "jazz" orchestra members charging them with contributing to her delinquency. "Her refusal to co-operate with the officers against those young men will put a black eye to Dorothy's case," Matheson declared. "She has stirred up this state as never before by her murder and now she openly defies the police. It is too bad." SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.—One of the most interesting and widely known figures connected with the case of Dorothy Ellingson, 16-year-old slayer of her mother, is Mrs. Kathryn Sullivan, police woman of the San Francisco police department. Mrs. Sullivan a woman of culture and refinement, is the loyal friend of countless wayward girls who in their hour of tragedy found in the sympathetic woman police officer a person in whom they could confide and trust. For Mrs. Sullivan understands girls. She has two daughters of her own, and just naturally takes to girls. Dorothy Ellingson worships Mrs. Sullivan, who is taking a maternal care and interest in the red headed, bobbed haired girl. Mrs. Sullivan joined the San Francisco police force in 1915 after two years social work with the associated charities, where she was especially interested in aling unmarried mothers. She has long been an advocate of a law compelling fathers of illegitimate children to support their helpless offspring and in many instances she has been instrumental in having the courts follow her recommendations in this respect. There is not a "copper" on the San Francisco force but who would lay down his life for Mrs. Sullivan. Mrs. Sullivan's father, Detective NO COMMENT ON HIGHWAY REPORT SACRAMENTO, Jan. 22.—In submitting to the legislature today the report of his special highway investigating committee, Gov. Richardson failed to indicate in any way whether he approved or disapproved of recommendations in the document. ""This committee spent several months in careful and thorough investigation and has visited every county in the state," said the governor's message of transmittal. "It has been absolutely free to use its own judgment and to come to its own conclusions." "I am submitting the preliminary report without comment, for your consideration." Two salient recommendations, calling for the incursion of 196 miles of additional road in the state highway system and for increased road revenues amounting to $10,000,000, were embodied in the report. The governor submitted the committee's report to the lawmakers without comment, explaining that he had refused to enter the highway controversy and considered it perhaps that the legislators should be allowed to thresh out the matter without outside interference. No specific recommendation is made in the report as to methods of raising the additional $10,000,000 revenue; the committee merely suggesting that one of the four following schemes be used: 1- General state bond issue. 2- Ad valorem tax. 3- Direct legislative appropriation. 4- Increased tax on motor vehicles by either increased gasoline tax, increased licensed plate tax or graduated weight tax. For bridge construction work the committee recommended $80,000,000 bond issue be placed before LIFE TERM FOR GIRL KILLER MANCISCO, Jan. 22—Ellingson must serve the demand made to prosecution in the case daughter of jaz" who with bullet into her mother is a murder case, not a ordinary juvenile delinquenced Mrs. Theresa assistant district attorney to prosecute the girl who "red headed" rage.

She has long been an advocate of a law compelling fathers of illegitimate children to support their helpless offspring and in many instances she has been instrumental in having the courts follow her recommendations in this respect. There is not a "copper" on the San Francisco force but who would lay down his life for Mrs. Sullivan. Mrs. Sullivan's father, Detective Captain Thomas L. Ryan, was on the same police force for 31 years when he died several years ago. His daughter is carrying on—and carrying on splendidly—in the work to which he gave virtually his whole life. MAY APPEAR AGAINST BOYS SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22—"Jazz baby Dot" Ellingson today wore the same dress she had on when she murdered her mother. Casting aside new finery, said to have been purchased with money she received for writing newspaper stories of her crime, the 36 year old child "jazz maniac" pulled over her slender form the tan dress she wore ten days ago when she sent a bullet into the back of her mother's head and then ran off to dance with "shleks" and drink gin. Questioned shortly after she drank her breakfast coffee, by Captain of Detectives Duncan Matheson, Dorothy promised she "would think over" her refusal to appear against four jazz band players held on charges of contributing to her dollinqueny. "You have been kind to me and if you insist I may appear against the boys, but it is against my will." Dorothy told Matheson. After Matheson had left her in her prison room, the young matricide sat down by a window and read a book of Oscar Wilde's poems while she waited for word calling her to appear before Juvenile Judge Murasky, who will decide the future of her case today. POST CHOOSES NEW EXECUTIVES Committees or committee chairmen for the year were appointed this week at the meeting of the local post of the American Legion. This meeting was open to all service men to whom special invitations had been extended, and the greater part of the time was devoted to helping them fill out compensation blanks. Appointments were as follows: Civic activities, E. E. Smith, chairman; Art Shipkey, Joe Collins, Chick Pearson, Bill Sperber, Jim Carothers and Bill Lindsey; Americanization committee, C.W. Courtney; chairman; membership, E. R. Sherman; chairman; relief, Jack Hebson, chairman; entertainment, made in the report as to methods of raising the additional $10,000,-000 revenue; the committee merely suggesting that one of the four following schemes be used: 1—General state bond issue. 2—Ad valorem tax. 3—Direct legislative appropriation. 4—Increased tax on motor vehicles by either increased gasoline tax, increased licensed plate tax or graduated weight tax. For bridge construction work the committee recommended $80,-000,000 bond issue be placed before the people at the next election. Outlining its scheme with regard to establishing which roads should be given priority in the construction program the committee said: "We recommend a classification of roads in the present highway system into two general systems to be designated as the primary system and the secondary system. Classification was based in the report in accordance with the functional use of the highways. The primary system would consist of intercity highways, major interstate connections county seat laterals, other important laterals and connections and major recreational highways. The secondary system would consist of minor interstate connections minor recreational highways and local developments highways. The report said: The following roads are recommended included in primary system San Rafael to San Quentin, three miles; Crescent City to the Oregon state line coast route 19 miles; near New Pine Creek, 44 miles. Coleville to the Nevada state line in Modocco., ten miles Bakersfield to Mo-jave, 65 miles; Needles to Topoe, 16 miles; Shavers Wells to the Colorado river five miles. Blythe to the Colorado river, five miles. Oxnard to the main coast highway. two miles; San Diego to Tia Juana seven miles. FOIL SCHEME TO HECKLE "DRYS" (Continued from Page One) up an old court action at Riverside in which Bulgin long ago amply vindicated himself. The following telegrams, two of many that could be reproduced, from Bishop Robt. McIntyre, of the Methodist church, and U.S. Senator Sam Shortridge, should answer this matter: "Los Angeles, Calif. April 25, 1909. Shawnee News, Shawnee, Oklahoma. All that may be said against Dr. Bulgin's character is as nothing. I have personally investigated the Riverside Mining Stock episode by Mr. Bulgin, and find that he is the victim of unscrupulous men in their persecution of JAIL 20 FILIPINOS HONOLULU, Jan. 22—Twenty Filipinos are in jail today in Hilo, the main city of the island of Hawaii, to the southeast of here, as the result of a sugar plantation riot in which over 1000 strikers are said to have participated, according to reports reaching Honolulu today. Two non-strikers who are reported to have been dragged into an automobile where they were slashed and beaten are expected to recover. Authorities of the Island of Hawaii have appropriated an emergency police fund of $25,000 to ensure maintenance of order in the plantations. The sheriff of Hilo reports the situation in hand. STEAMER AGROUND JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 22—The Clyde line steamer Apache with 75 passengers aboard erupe to New York, today was ground in the St. Johns river near New Berlin. The vessel went aground last night in a heavy fog as it attempted to round a curve in the St. Johns. The passengers are not in any danger, according to Clyde line officials here. They believe the steamer will be located at high tide and proceed to New York. STRIKE AVERTED WASHINGTON, Jan. 22—The denger of a general strike in the Pennsylvania authracite fields has been averted, Commissioners of Connellion Thos. Davis and Jas. P. Dewey today advised Secretary of Labor Davis. They also advised him they would join with the authracite conciliation board and a special commission appointed by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, in an attempt to settle the dispute between the miners and operators in the Pittston fields involving about 11,000 miners.
