LONG BEACH DAILY TELEGRAM. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1917 TWELVE Will Teach American Athletics to Italians EVANGELIST BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL GF DEFENSE DR. BIEDERWOLF IN PRAISE OF TELEGRAM AT Off DOCK!

The war situation looks bad, lie opines, and lie now surmises that It will last for at least a year and a half or two yeara, whereas at first he thot it would last no later tuan fall. Hls associates are Americans from Palmyra, N. J. Lane la doing filing and typewriting at the present, but expects to work Into something better before long. Pears are only 20 cents each where he lives.

How-jver, a fellow can get a cup of chocolate and a large chunk ot bread for 10 cents. He relates how he and hls friends were strolling along when they saw the picture of Douglas Fairbanks In front of a moving picture house. "Doug" made him think of Southern California Lane states that American pictures are the rage at the picture allows. American tobacco Is a rarity, he writes. Lane took a puff of a French cigarette.

One puff wsb enough. The taste was that of leaves. The difference of time between Long Beach and where Lane Is. is hours, so that when it Is noon where he Is Is 4 o'clock In the moru.ng In Long Beach. None of the automobiles have Klaxons or buzzers where Lane resides.

They do nothing but honk. Nor do the machines have headlights. They shoot down the rjHd and honk continually. A pedestrian Is apparently a thing of scorn, for If a pedestrian gets hit by a machine he pays a flue. The driver of (he machine probably gets a reward.

At 1 any rate he is not fined or censured- Lanes letter was written on his fathers birthday, so he naturally sent his love to the "best father In tile world." The City Council of Defense met this afternoon to consider an amendment to the resolution adopted by it Tuesday night In condemnation of Rev. W. E. Blederwolf's utterance concerning the Red Croca. Dr.

Biederwolf himself appeared bef.re the council to make an explanation of his meaning. He stated tnat hls intention was to declare that the Red Cross would receive no more money from him for the purpose cf buying cigarettes and playing cards. At 3:30 oclock, after the council had been In session for an hour, it seemed likely that the council would strike from the resolutions the expression of Dr, Blederwolfs having given "aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States." Dr. Biederwolf had previously addressed to the council the following communication; "The charge that I have given aid and comfort to the In my remarks at the Auditorium last Saturday night, made by your body, is, I believe, unwarranted by the facts. If any reasonable construction ot my words on that occasion ad.

If a man is a loyal Amciicuti he won't be ashamed of It, nor v'th to cover his heart in the presence of the Stars and Stripes. If a wan wishes to be a citizen In the kingdom of God lie should acknowledge it publicly with the same pride that lie clulnis when telling of the political party or the lodge to whicn lie belongs." Then the evangelist explained the two ways in which Christ expects a man to confess Him. First, by ills life; and. second by baptism; Joining the ciwrch.

In speaking of three reasons why God demands that a public confession be made the evangelist said, It will strergthen your fai and give you a little spiritual nerre. it will a'so give strength to ot levs. Some one is watching you and your example is worth more than vm estimate. Hut the biggest reason of all is because Christ desires it. You ought to confess Him.

God denims a coward. If you don't eoifess Him there is no hope for you. Christ says, 'Whosoever shall confess ne nlm will I but he says alio. Whosoever denies me him will I to my father iu At the close of the sermon many came to the altar for consecrsiior. "No man In the country will dare challenge the loyalty of W.

B'e-derw-olf to the Stars and Stripes," said that gentleman at the Auditorium last evening, after taref'tlly reviewing all the crltlclmis connected with the event of Saturday night when he took exception to the work of the Red Cross In' sending cigarettes and playing cards to the soldiers. "Ninety per cent of people of I-ong Reach know that 1 did 'iot depreciate the work of that noble organization," he said empftvleallv. He then expressed his mini concerning the other ten per cent some of horn "are in civic affairs and It would be well occasionally to have a house cleaning." 1'erhaps the climax came when he said, "1 think It would bej well for me to prosecute the gentle-i men who signed thnt resolution fori $20,000 each and give the procieds' to the Red Cross, but1 on couditun that not one i enny of it should go for the purchase of cigarettes and cards." Dr. Biederwolf then thanked the mothers of l.cng Rca.h ho had written to lilm their approval of his att'tvrle li- sard also, "I wtsh to thank t1 Dailj Telpgrant for the splendid i ditoriut on the front page of ib.s :1: I held, In my hands 'lhc g'nli-maa whoj wrote it has the splrii oi ini his soul. 1 ttrrnk 1 can agree with I every word of it It rs tire fa.r"sli llrirg I lone ever see.i.

6. Fire broke out late today in the plant of the Union Iron Works on the Alameda chore of the East Oakland estuary. Firemen from Alameda attempted the company which founded the cannery and has operated it with marked financial success. Harry C. Ward is recretary-treauurer.

Mr. Houssels is one of the bect known packers of Southern Cal'fornia. R. M. Moore is also among those interested in the company.

T. Olson, a Norwegian whose home is In Norway and who is connected with an internationally-known fishpacking concern, and three other men comprise the business organization which has purchased the plant. They have formed a close corporation. The name of the plant will be changed a little later on. What the new name will be was r.ot known today.

Paul Eachus, well known fich-pack-er in Southern California for 25 years and founder, at Son Diego In 191 of the firct exclusive tuna-packing plant, is cne of the four men in tne nw company and will be superintendent of the plant. The formal transfer of the business into the hands of the new owners will take place next week. Details of the sale were completed Tuesday, it was said today. Mr. Eachus, superintendent and part owner in rew corporat'on, is already on the ground, preparing to take full charge of the management of operations.

Sardine-packing machinery has Just been installed in the plant and a big output of this kind of fish is assured during the winter. Carrying out plans recently agreed upon by the bsh-packers on their own initiative, as a means to standardize their products, inspectors have been employed in all the canneries here, one to each plant.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Jeweler Collects All His Debts With One Piece in Paper (Glen Cove, L. Cor. New Ym-k Times). Moescha Rosenbergs advertisement In the local jiaper had ts desired effect. He threatened to print today a list of those who owed him money and would not pay.

All week and right up to press time Rosenberg was kept busy receipting old bills, and now he says that there is not a resident of this village who owes him a rent. Rosenberg Is a jeweler and is closing up his store. Several thousand dollars was due him, and he wanted It before he left town. So lie put in the advertisement in which lie said: "I shall publish the name and exact address and vocation of each of the aforementioned deadbeats, giving in my usual style a psychological treatise of their character and make-up. The paper goes to press at 10:30 a and all vv ho a-e anxious to have their characters defined in print should not settle their accounts before that time.

Immediately creditors began to appear and pay their bills. Men who had bought engagement rings on credit and others who had purchased presents that they did r.ot care to have published, all paid up promptly, and the jeweler was happy. So today Rosenberg, published an advertisement on "Soiled Linen, in which he said: "There are those who firmly believe that there is no wrong that could not be corrected. That it all depends on the -laundry. Some linen must be badly soiled, but all can be cleansed.

It depends on how hard one rubs. We arc glad to state that not one dollar that was owing to is last week is unpaid today. We (lo not want to congratulate our friends who paid up, but, rather, ourselves, as good, hard-rubbing launderers." WHERE ARE THEY?

THE EMPLOYERS Changes of State Compensation Law in Effect Jan. 1 The Legislature of 1917, amended the present state compensation laws in a number of particulars and the changes will become effective January 1, 1918.

One of the Important changes made Is that which requires every employer, except the state and aU political subdivisions or institutions thereof, to secure the payment of compensation in one of the following ways: 1. By insuring and keeping insured In an Insurance company duly authorized to write compensation Insurance in this state. 2. By securing from the commission a certificate of consent to self-insure. which may be given when satisfactory proof of the employer's ability to carry his own Insurance Is furnished.

The commission will require such employer to deposit with the State Treasurer a surety bond or securities approved by the commission, in an amount to be determined by the commission. If an employer fails to secure the payment ot compensation, lie is subjected to an added liability, as Ills Injured employee cannot only claim compensation but may also bring an action at law for damages and shall be entitled in such action to the right to attach the property of the employer, to secure the payment of any judgment that may be obtained. In any such action the employer Is denied the defenses of contributory negligence, assumption of risk and negligence of fellow-servant, and the negligence of tne employer Is presumed. Those employers who wish to obtain a certificate of consent to carry their own insurance, or who may desire further information on any question relating to the compensation laws, should make application to the Industrial Accident Commission, 525 Market Street, San Francisco.

Why the city commission arranged the sale of municipal harbor bonds In an amount exceeding by th contract price for present harbor dredging, became apparent today at the Chamber of Commerce directors meeting when George M. La Shell, chairman of the C. of O. committee, announced that hIr committee has been working with tne city commissioners on a pJaa to dredge the channel by the municipal dock. La Shells announcement followed the statement by 0.

J. Cu.tia that the dredging of the harbor entrance will be finished within the uext week or ten daye, and that the Long Beach canneries are being grievously hampered by the existence of a bar In close proximity to the municipal wharf. The continuance of extraordinarily fine weather since the Los Angeles Dredging compapy undertook the harbor entrance dredging has made it possible to drive the work thru LONG BEACH TO E5E At Organization of the County Farm Bureau Long Beach Is urged to be fully represented at the meeting to be held next Tuesday at 10 a m. in Blanch ard hall, 233 South Broadway, Los Angeles, wihere the county farm bu reau will be permanently organized with the election of officers.
