NURSE WHO MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED FOUND ON STREET fo MISS BEULAH HAWKINS PARKER REPEATS FORMER CHARGES (Contlnned from Pair One.) the organization of the magnitude of the contributions of the corporation. "There Ib, however, something worse if possible than the escape of such offenders from justice. It is the gradual demoralization of voters and the dulling of the public conscience caused by the efforts to make these vast sums of money procure the ballots they were intended to procure, corruptly otherwise.

Urges Proper Legislation "It is not my purpose to claim that the Democratic party, subjected to the temptation which has overcome the other party during the last few years, would have acted differently. But the facts should be diligently sought that the people may become so, aroused that they will insist upon legislation making it a criminal offense for officers to contribute corporate funds for political purposes and depriving the apparently successful candidates of their offices. "Efforts in that direction have been making in different states since November last and particularly in this state. But the Republican organization would not consent to It so the legislature defeated the bills. And the organization never will consent until an aroused public sentiment shall threaten legislators with political oblivion who fall to enact effective laws upon the subject."

BUDDHIST TEMPLE FOR LOS ANGELES MAGNIFICENT EDIFICE TO BE BUILT PRIESTS ARE MAKING PLANS Dignitaries of Religious Order Come to Angel City to Investigate Conditions in Local Mission "Within four months a Buddhist emple will be erected in Los Angeles for the enlightenment of Americans and the followers of Buddha," said Lord Abbot Shen Shaku through an interpreter to a Herald reporter in his apartments at the Westminster hotel last evening.

So prosperous" has been the little Buddhist "mission" in. its quarters at 229VS East Fourth street that It has grown Into a great congregation and now, after much planning, all arrangements have been made to build a temple. It means that Buddhism has become firmly rooted in Los Angeles, so well established that it is no longer a "mission" In the sense of similar Christian institutions in foreign lands. One year ago there were three followers of Buddhism "converted" from Christianity. Now there are over fifty Americans who have become followers of Buddha.

To gain consent of the head of the Buddhist religion. Lord Abbot Shen in America, his reverence was invited to Los Angeles to personally investigate conditions. He arrived yesterday and last evening spoke to an audience of several hundred persons at Turner hall. Converts Three Americans No small part of that conclave was Americans and a greater part of the white people present were followers of Buddha, "converts" of the local Buddhists. No mention was made of the proposed plans, as all who are concerned know of them.

The Lord Abbot spoke in the Japanese tongue on the "Essence of Buddhism," and when his discourse had been translated into English three Americans were made followers of the Indian prophet. "In English you would say Lord Abbot Shaku and Superintendent Dalsetsu Sagaki came from San Francisco at our invitation," said one of the dignitaries of the local institution. "They came to speak to the followers of Buddha and to make final arrangements for the erection of the temple. They seem greatly pleased with the progress made by Rev. J.

Izumlmida and his followers and we are happy to say we will soon have a temple." Plan Magnificent Temple In all of its oriental splendor and magnificence, a temple to Buddha is to be built, though the Japanese do not like the word "convert," it is for that purpose the temple Is', to be erected. They say the temple is to be built for the "earnest students of truth," and the throng of converts who gather at the service dispels the doubt that the religion has no followers. Several persons in the local congregation are prominent in every day walks of life Americans well known in the business world. They are earnest believers In Buddhism and follow the teachings with earnestness. The priests make the statement that Buddhism has come to stay and is prospering and growing with most startling rapidity.

Unless present plans miscarry, Los Angeles will have a magnificent Buddhist temple and the only distinctly oriental temple In the country. Where it is to be located and how much is to be expended for its construction are matters that the Japanese politely decline to communicate to the public at present.
