POLICE WARN RELIGIOUS
ENTHUSIASTS TO BE QUIET
SANTA ROSA. Cal., August Pt.
Heeause fanat ical religionists calling
themselves J Yntocosnl missionaries ex
tend their worship into the small hours
of the night and keep residents in the
neighborhood of their church awake,
the police authorities of this city today
warned the enthusiasts that they will
have to moderate t heir eelehrat ions
henceforth or move to a less populous
district.
The worshippers conduct their serv
ices somewhat along the line of t he
"Holy Rollers" and in converting scof
fers tit their fold, give vent to wails
and groans. Those vho have witnessed
one of their meetings declare that tlw
scene is fearful. Wonon are wrought
to such a pitch thai they fall nn the

been made of the fight for tnd of
the party in West Virginia. Taft today

ROBBED
BEAR CREEK
Active Work Started to
Supplement the Present J
Water Supply of the j
City
Active work was commenced this
morning on a trench which is to be
dug across Bear creek near the city's
pumping plant in order to catch the low
water in the creek in order to supple
ment the present water supply. There
is considerable seepage in the creek and
it is claimed that much water can be
obtained across the bed of the creek
and turning this under flow into the
well.
Yesterday in many sections of the
cilv in nearlv all sections there was
no water in the city mains. The cloudy
weather, however, has caused a slight
increase in t he amount of water in
Hear creek and should the rain, which
seems promised at this time, material
ize, the situation will be much improv
ed temporarily.
A four-inch main is being laid north
from the distributing main on A street
to connect with t he Fish Lake ditch
-limi) feet distant. A pump is being
iustu lied and thin will also furnish a
certain amount of water. The well ou
the station and the tank is to be kept
full if possible so thut a splurge of
some kind can be made in case fire
should break out.
Yesterday the box factory of the Cra
ter Lake Lumber company was forced
I to shut down, as no water could be
obtained to feed the boilers.
I The water committee notified the
i Sent hern Pacific company I hat their
supply may be shut off at any moment,
taud it is likely that this notification
will soon be followed by action to that
elfeet.
The situation is fast becoming desper
ate, and despite the fact that these
steps are being taken by the water com
mittee, Medford seems face to face with
a water famine.

Opposite

Oh, where, oh where can it be?
With its names so scarce,
And its blanks so long

Adapted.
Itev. M r. Williams has come forth
with a statement that he has never had
charge of the petition being circulated
in the First ward for the recall of Coun
cilman John 1). Olwell. 1). T. Lawton
a short time since informed The Tri
bune that the petition was in the hands
of the Rev. Mr. Williams.
Yes? Nof
When Mr. Lawton made the state
meat that Key. Mr. Williams had charge
of the petition, Hev. Williams nas nb
sent from the city on a vacation. Now,
when Itev. Williams denies that he has
the petition, l. T. Lawton is absent on
a vacat ion.
And there you are.
One thing is certain. The First ward
its do not seem to know what happened
to the petition. There has been no ac
tivity in the matter for some time. All
seems serene in the First ward.
When it became known that the
movement had more lo do with pro
hibition thai: the fact that Mr. Olwell
was no longer a resident of the ward,
a number of t he original signers had
their names taken from the petition.
.Mr. Lawton stated at the time he said
l he petition had passed to Rev. Wil
liams that it bore the names of about
SO voters of the First ward. This is
as much as can be learned.
Can it be possible that the petition
is accumulating dust in the pigeonhole
of someone's deskf

tiny in the Palatine guard, the pope's
soldiers, it said to have led I'ogn Pius
todav to order that the guard be ills
handed.
It is known that there has been much
discontent among the soldiers on ac
count of alleged unfairness in the sys

men an advanced through favoritism
'and influence and that more deserving
are kept in the small ranks because
they have not sought promotion in nil
