That is all. upon Mr. Ross must produce his proofs or the decision will be against him. My well- known A. P. A, sympathies will make not the slightest difference. The judges will be, at least they ought to be, like jurors who have not read the newspapers and re- ceived opinions therefrom. “Father Yorke need not anticipate an infair ruling from me. 1 don’t know what Mr. Ross has to say or what authorities he has, and, in view of the fact that I may be one of the judges of this controversy, I t care to know. 1 shall surely decide t Ross if he fails in his autnorities. d this duty very reluctantly, but, accept, I will do_justice to of the question.

I see by the papers,” said he last night, ‘““that Attorney Quitzow has been named by Mr. Ross as his arviter. I never heard of the gentleman before, and have not yet received any communication from him re- garding the appointment of the third man, I bad hoped that Mr. Ross would have se- lected a man known to everybody, and one who is known to have no leaning toward either party in the controversy. I have no psriicular man in mind, but I do know that there are scores of such in San Francisco. If I am informed aright Mr. Quitzow has on several occasions taken a leading part in A. P. A. discusslons and has figured at many of their meetings. His appointment, tlierefore, is somewhat of a surprise and disappointment. I had de- ied on being associated with a man o knows absolutely nothing of what we to pass upon. f either of us be known ave any partisanship in the premises it must naturally impair to some extent our standing as umpires and will detract from the value of our decision. “If the report I hear of Mr. Quitzow’s standing in the matter be correct, and if he has any comnection whatever either with the A. P. A. or with the Roman Catholic church, I shall reserve the right, upon such facts being substantiated, 10 re consider my consent to act on the com mittee. This being so, I have notas yet given any thought as to my chcice of a d n, neither shall I do so until 1 hear something more definite from Rev. Father Yorke, whom I have consented to represent. When 1 was first approached on the subject it was with the distinct understanding that all three lawyers were to be absolutely unbiased and so far as sible ignorant of the questions that o be submitted to them. Of course find such not to be the case, it gives if I me the privilege oi reconsidering the mat- ter. To-morrow I expect to hear from At- torney Quitzow and Father Yorge, and then I shall know where I stand. Till then I cannot speak definitely as to my future course.” Father Yorke, in the following com- munication, discusses the remarks of Dr. Uase in Metropolitan Temple last Sun- 150 his letter in the public press: 8axN Fraxcisco, Dec. 11, 1895. To the Editor of The Call—DEAR SIk: 'In a let- ter published in your columns this morning I cused by Dr. Case of “misrepresenting his statements and of calling him bad names.” 1 should be very giad to find out that the pub- lished reports of Dr. Case’s lecture in Metropol- itan Hall hed misrepresented him. Itisnot a pleasant thing to believe that any man, not to speak of a clergyman, could be guilty of such utterances. Before I proceed to examine Dr. Case’s asser- tions I wish to say & few words about his refer- ence to ihe title given to Catholic priests— “Father.” I donot care to advert to the bad taste which characterized that reference. When by the common usage of society this or thet appellation is given to a man or & class of men, only the vulgar imagine that they score & point by refusing it. The title “Father” has always been applied by Catholics to their priesthood. The title is not unscriptural, contrary to Dr. Case’s extraor- direry misrepresentation of the meaning of the Bible. St. Paul claimed it, and what St. Paul claimed is scriptural enough for me. The Teason why the avpellation Father is given to priests is beautifully expressed by one who in time of need proved himseli a Father to his eople—the great Cardinal Manning. “Priests, “‘are fathers of ail who are born again er and the Holy Ghost; but in a ecial sense, aund with a more intimate an eternel relation, they are fathers of those whom they have baptized. St. Paul says to the Corinthians, ‘If ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, vei not many fathers, for in Christ Jesus by the Gospel have I regener- ated you.” This title is the most simple and intelligible to all, old and voung, learned and unlettered. The relation of father and child is universal in the order of nature, and it be- comes a spiritual instinct in the order of grace. The title of father is the first, the chief, the highest, the most potent, the most persuasive, the most honorable of all the titles of a priest.” Dr. Case disputes the accuracy of my knowl- edge of his utterances at the Metropolitan Temple last Sunday. Iam afraid that Dr. Case has not given my letter sufficient attention. If he nad read it he would have discovered that I was careful to give the source of my infor- NEW TO-DAY.

The man who could utter them is a grade lower than a wife-beater. Thebrute who maltreatsa woman at least can only hurt her body, but the wretch who slanders the innocent hurts that which is dearer than lie itseli—a woman’s good name. Dr. Case accuses me of taking refuge behind women in this controversy.

I have said bejoe that priests can stand all the_abuse which Dr. Case can heap upon them. Weare men, and can defend our own cuuse. But we do protest against dragging Catholic women into this controversy. What have they said or done that their names should be mentioned at ail? _What crime have they committed that they should be insulted with the pity of a man like Dr. Case? % 1 will not sully your pages, Mr. Editor, with the foul slanders which have for now nigh two years been circu.ated through the public printsin this town concerning Catholle ladies. need no other proof of the fact that Dr. Case is making war on women than his own letter over his own signature. In that letter he makes the unequivocal statement that tie sisters in the Catholic convents are “in_tarall- dom.” Ibrand thatstatement here and now as a foul calumny. There arein this City to- day over 500 s ngaged in various works of ‘merey and charity, end there is not one who canmot leave her convent at the first moment she chooses. not. If hes They are as independent in their own homes and as free from external influence, priestly or otherwise, as any ledies in the land. There is 1ot & convent whose doors are not open {o the visits of any respectable people who may wish to go through them, and there is not a room, from garret to basement, that the nuns are not willing to show to their visitors. The bonds which bind the sisters to their convents are the bonds of charity—the same bonds which bind the Methodist deaconesses to their lives of good. IfIshould come before the public and with crockodile tears pity the fate of these Methodist women becau they are in thrall dom to the Methodist preachers there is not an honest man in San Francisco who would not brand me as a hypocrite and & blackguard.

Their families live among us, and their parents, their brothers, their sisters have with as free and as uninterrupted intercou: them as with any other members of the Al The sister of the Lord High Chancellor of land is in oue convent, the sister of & Ur States Senator is in another, the sister of & Lioutenant-Governor of one of our Stetes is at the head of a third.

The true inwardness of Dr. Case’s pity may 2 by his citation of Edith 0’Gorman to witness against the sisterhoods. The dis- | stand disreputable character of this ad- venturess has been exposed again and again, et Dr. Case imports her to slander ladies who were born here and raised here and whose every day has been marked by deeds of charity and beneficence. Dr. Case acknowledges that the Chronicle’s report of his words concerning the confes- sional was correct. “If to state,’” he sa; “simple facts concerning the confessional i obscenity then let those who perpetuate this unscriptural, unauthorized and blasphemous relicof the dark ages be responsible for it.” Let me state_right here that if Dr. Case con- fined himself to simple facts about the confes- sional or any other institution of God’s church we would have no fault to find with him But what I do accuse him of is relating as facts things which are not facts. The practice or confession is neither unscriptural, unau- thorized or blasphemous. It has been in use among Christians from the time of the Apos. tles, and is commanded in the plain words of Holy Writ. The greatest intellects of this age, 8s of every other age, have been convinced of its divine institution, or they would not have countenanced it by their own practice. Dr. Case knows as well as any one else that in this Sity, as well as the world over, some of the upright and learned members of the Protestant churches have been couverted to Catholicity. These men, the brightest at the bar, the most erudite on_the bench, may be seen month after month kneeling at the con- fessional. If they are convinced that it is a divine in- stitution, what are the talents or the mental achievements of Dr. Case that his mere word should prove. it “unscriptural, unauthorized and blasphemo: Against the whole Catholic population of San Francisco Dr. Case brings_the word of an anonymous young man and his anonymous girl. 1 wish to remark that even ron-Catholics will understand that a yonng man who forbids his girl fo go to confession is just the person to give Dr. Case information of the precise kind that Dr. Case wants. When that young man stated that he was asked improper questions in the confessional he told an_untruth. and Dr. Case’s repetition of the untruth is a calumny against every Catholic in San Francisco. 1f Dr. Case will go into eny of our churches any Saturday night he will find that the con- festionals are besieged by men and women, voung and old. These people can challenge comparison in intellect, in morals, in learning and in virtue with any men or women in these United States. When Dr. Case comes with his obscene insinuations he slanders every one of there people, not because he has facts to back him up, but for the very lust of slander. As to the Catholic priests for whom Dr. Case y, allow me to state that they chal- lenge the fullest comparison with Dr. Case or any other preacher in thisland. In education, in training, in personal and civic virtues, in every quality which goes to make a good man or & good citizen Catholic priests can hold their own with the clergymen of any other denomi- nation. In attending to their own business, in re- s?ecling the opinionsof their neighbors, in abstaining from politics, in respect for freedom of conscience and liberty of speech they are head and shoulders above the crowd of ignor- antranters who have been inflicted on this City for years. The priests of America need no apologisis either from their own ranks or from the ranks of their co-religionists. They are content 1o leave the vindication of their good name to that great non-Catholic public which has always tendered to them that respect which it has emphatically denied to men of the caliber of Dr. Case. Dr. Case declares that he did not consult fethoaist laity before expressing his 1t Dr. Case had counseled with the ch he would never have slan- dered women or insulted men. The Methodist zentlemen of San Francisco know their Catho- ic_fellow-citizens, both clerical and lay, too well to believe them guilty of the charges which Dr. Case so recklessly makes. For this reason and for this reason slone I have ap- pealed to them once more to judge between Dr. Case and us. Dr. Case denies that he said that 80 per cent of the criminals were from parochial schools. He says “they are from parochial schools or from countries where they have no schools, except such as the priests and the church pro- vide.” 1 challenge Dr. Case to produce the statistics on which he makes this charge. He can find them in any anti-Catholic work, and he can find, t0o, if lie takes the trouble, that they are cooked. In order, however, to give him some authentic materiel, let me uote the following tables from the reports of three State prisons, which may open bis eyes: SING SING PRISON, 1890. Educated Tiliterate. 138 Total 1,553 Went to public schools. 1,403 Went to other schools. b CLINTON PRISON, 1890.

Went 0 other private schrols. . Total. I am not at all surprised to find that Justus H.Nclson is a cousin of Dr. Case. The kame traits of bigotry show forth in both. Letme inform Dr. Case that hisdear cousin was not cutin jail for saying that “to worship the Virgin Mary is idoiatry.” Justus H. Nelson was put in jail for blackguardism and inde- cency. My reference is the Methodist Christian Advocate” of New York. The blackguardism consisted in going out into the public streets and trying 1o break up a religious procession. 1f any man in this town tried to break up a procession of the Salvation Army he would Imvc been put in jail. In Brazil they merely knocked J. H. Neison’s hat off. Then when the Rev. Justus H. Nelson used the columns of two newspapers to utter in- decent charges against Catholics in the im- pure language affected by his kind, he was promptly jailed by the Anthony Comstock of the place. This was the attack on religious liberty which Dr. Case cited as a proof of the intoler- ance of Rome. The venders of obscene books and pictures could with as much reason make the same charge against the laws ol these United States. 1 have already taken up too much of your space, but Dr. Case must needs touch on many topics. Let me conclude by advising the A. P. A. that Dr. Case is too frank for their pur- pose. They claim that they are not making s reli- gious fight, but Dr. Case has set himself up as the champion of Protestantism. I am under the impression that Protestantism is not in need of such champions. The Protestants of this City have too much respect for themselves and their faith to employ in its defense forgery, slanaer and untruth. Yours, truly, P.C. YORKE.

THE POOLROOM ORDINANCE. Supervisor Morgenstern Will Support the Grand Jury—Gallagher on the Langdon Permit. An extra session of the Grand Jury was held last evening to complete the exami- nation of Martin J. Gallagher in the mat- ter of handling $125 of Langdon’s money to obtain a permit from the Board of Su- pervisors, and to hear also the testimony of Supervisor Morgenstern in the matter of the pool ordinances, pending in the Board of Supervisors. The jury in addi- tion to these matters heard witnesses in reference to a petition for the extension of the Pound limits. Money was raised to vrevent the extension and the limits were Mrs. Kahn Takes an Overdose of | not extended. Morphine in a Restau- rant. She Had a Violent Quarrel With Her Mother and Then Tried to End Her Life. A young and pretty girl took an over- dose of morvhine at the Delmonico Tues- day night and went to bed to aie. She engaged her apartments late at night and apparently retired to rest. That was the last seen of her until she was di; covered in convulsions yesterday morning. She was taken to the Receiving Hospital. There she was treated for morphine-poison- ing. The antidotes administered had the desired effect, and the mysterious young woman bade adieuto the place at noon without leaving her name or address. She was fashionably attired, wore costly jewels, and generally displayed an excel- lent taste in manner and dress. The young lady was sent to the hos- pitalin a carriage and she went away in same vehicle. She was traced, how- ever, to 911 Treat street, where a Mrs. Hunt lives. Mrs. Hunt was as silent and cold asa clam w hen interrogated regard- ing her fashionable ward. She positively denied that the strange young lady was an inmate of her household. Later in the day the young woman re- turned to her lodgings af 311 Taylor street. She was not at home to visitors last night. She sent down word, however, that she had a slight beadache. It appears that the young woman, whose name is Mrs. Kahn, quarreled with sowe- body other than her mother, and then took a stand against the latter, finally vacating her lodgings entirely. She then went on a little excursion about the City, and closed the incident with an imitation death-scene at the restaurant. The real cause of Mrs. Kahn's attempt to end her life is not known. She simply wanted to die, avd would doubtless have succeeded had she not taken an overdose of the drug, which was fortunately con- fronted with stimulants. Mrs. Kahn is only 20 years of age. She is a bleached blonde. Thetintis somewhat decayed. She married young and has one child. She and her mother and child live at 311 Taylor street.

His account of his own testimony was as follows: They wanted me to finish my account of how it all happened, and asked the questions they asked me before over again. But I didn’t have anything to tell them about boodle. The boodle part only existed in Langdon’s imsgination. You see, he thinks things and then tells them for facts. It'sa way he has. When we had to stop work I was $496 out on Langdon’s job, and he refused to pay unless I finished. I'knew Green had got & permit for the same alterations I wanted on his saloon on Powell street, and I thought that I could get & vermit for this building also._ I told Langdon 80, but said it would cost $125. 1 suppose because he would do things by the bocdle principle he thought that I wanted the money 1o pay_the Supervisors. Bu¢ I didn’t. 1 wanted the $25 to spend sround where it would do the most good, with dimes to one man Yerhnps and drinks for another, and the #100 1 was going to give to an attorney for attending to the case before the board. 1 only kept the $125 over night. In the morning Langdon said tome, ‘‘Where’s that permit?” 1 told him he couldn’t expect to get & thing like that ina day and thatit would Embnb y take a week. He said he wouldn’t ave any trouble in getting the permit, and talked so loud about what he could do thatI })ut my hand in my pocket, pulled out the $125 hadn’t touched and gave it back to him. That's the whole story. And yvet Detective Curtin testified that Langdon told him he'd seen me give Dunker the money and that when he kicked I got the money back and returned it to him. Langdon chavged his story before the Grand Jury,and it's a good thing he did. 1f he hadn't e would have got into trouble. And then Mr. Gallagher walked away after making a remark about Mr. Lang- don’s conversatioral qualities similar to that which the parrot addressed to himself after his seance with the dog. Supervisor Morgenstern was the next witness called. He related to the Grand Jury a conversation that he had with Supervisor A. B. Spreckels, in which the latter remarked that it was common re- port that the downtown pool-sellers were putting up $800 a month. Morgenstern replied that he had been told by & lawyer that thbe poolmen were paying $1000 a month. Mr. Morgenstern did not know that any of the money was paid to Supervisors. As for himself he did not receive any of itand could not say from personal knowledge what was the exact amount contributed. Supervisor Morgenstern said he favored the ordinance recommended by the Grand Jury, which proposed to stop pool-selling downtown. To gain pevsonal knowledge as to the manner of conducting the busi- ness he had visited poolrooms since the ordinance was introduced, and there saw boys exposed to the worst forms of gam- bling influence. He did not want to be classed as a citizen who was opposed to reform. On the contrary he said that he was earnestly in favor of !upsressing gambling dens, where boys and young men were lured to ruin and disgrace. He would favor an ordinanceto close and keep closed the poker-shops and other gamblers’ places. The members of the Grand Jury were highly gratitied to hear the Supervisor so frankly and unreservedly announce his purpose to join them in their efforts to abolish pool-selling and close the open poker games, and expressed to_him their sincere desire that other Supervisors should follow his example. The Grand Jury has now heard Super- visors Spreckels, Taylor, Hobbs, Dimond and Morgenstern, and they stand ready to support the ordinance to prevent pool-sell- ing downtown. To-day at 3 p. M. the jury will call the remaining seven Supervisors and endeavor to impress upon their minds the importance of suppressing this feature of gambling. The Grand Jury carefully read the com- munication relating to the manazement of Fire Department afiairs, which was placed in the hands of Foreman Eldridge last Tuesday, and decided that the information warranted thorough investigation. The subject will be taken up as soon as the pool inquiry is finished. 3 Out in the corridors a crowd of milkmen and their friends waited. Mr. Tessmer, who wrote the letter to the Grand Jury, and Mr. Brandt, who says ex-Supervisor Heyer told him Mr. Dunker had accepted a 90-pound pig as a recognition of his val- uable services from a grateful hog-raiser, were the only ones who had been inter- ested in extending the pound limits. The mi.kmen told varying stories. When first approached some denied that any money wasraised. Others said a little was raised, but they had not contributed. Eventually, however, they confessed to having raised from $350 to $450, although Martin Johnson, the man who collected it, could not remember just how munch he did get. Mr. Johnson at first declared that he had not coilected the contributions from the various dairvmen. He said he did not know who had collected it and he didn’t know what became of it except that Mr. Clunie, who was their attorney, had been given some. After having talked with the Grand NEW TO-DAY.

KOHLER & CHASE, 28 O’FARRELL STREET. Descriptive Booklets Fre: l Jury a while Mr. Johnson remembered that he had collected the money from the milkmen. He remembered that the own- ers of cow ranches had a meeting and that he had gone to different ones and that they had contributed to meet the expenses of beating the men who wanted their property protected. But there his mem- ory failed. *We raised $350 or $400,” he said. “How much was it?” “I don’t know exactly. Maybe $300.” “What did you do with this money ?”’ “Well, we gave some of it to Mr. Clunie. We zave him about $200, I think,” he said in answer to a question, and then added in a combative way, ‘‘And he earned every cent of it, too.” Mr. Clunie is not remembered to have appeared at any meeting of the Health and Police Committee, the milkmen being represented by Thomas Stack, an attorney living in the district under dispute. There was absolutely no point of law involved. Mr. Clunie’s services, therefore, must have been on different lines. Mr. Johnson did not explain what they were. Henry Tessmer was the second witness examined. He had to confess to the Grand Jury that he had not seen the milkmen give any Supervisors money. No milkmen had confessed to him that they had bribed the Supervisors. He knew that the entire neighborhood was cognizant of moneys having been raised to defeat the pound- limit extension, and that three Supervisors had changed their minds afterward. . Mr. Tessmer had a new bit of informa- tion for the inquisitorial body. He told them that Mr. Fredericks of the Jackson Brewery had informed his father-in-iaw, Mr. Blacken, who keeps a wayside house, that the brewers had been assessea by the milkmen in proportion to the amount of slops each brewery sold. Mr. Johnson, who collected for the milk- men, denied that the brewers put up a cent or were asked for money. The coin, he claimed, all came from the milkmen. The milkwomen, however, must have been omitted from the list of those ex- pected to contribute to the anti-pound ex- tension fund if Mrs. Bauer is to be be- lieved. John Pfenninger is willing to swear that Mrs. Bauer told him a great deal about the money the dairymen raised. Mrs. Bauer last night declared that though she kept about forty cows she not only had not contributed any money, but had not been asked for any. ~ She had not even heard of any one who had given any. She had not talked with John Pfenninger and she thought that man must be crazy. Then Fred Brandt was called in. He told the Grand Jury how ex-Supervisor Albert Hager came to tell him about the 90-pound pig which Mr.. Dunker was said to have received. Mr. Brandt had heard the gossip about the “sack’ that had been raised for the Health and Police Commit- tee, but of his personal knowledge could tell nothing. Then Albert C. Heyer, the son of the ex- Suvervisor, who is claimed to have dis- coursed on _90-pourd pigs, was called. Young Mr. Heyer only testified that he did not say what his father is said to have said "and was excused, and John Nager was called. Mr. Nager and his brother have one of the Jargest dairies in this district. Both Henry Tessmer and John Plenninger claim that Mr. Nager talked to them about the milkmen having money to use in the fight before the Supervisors. Butlast night Mr. Nager declared that he had not contributed | a cent toward beating the petition for the extension of the pound limits. At this juncture the remaining wit- nesses were excused for the time being. There were two notable absentees among the witnesses. One was Mr. Barri- dori, a dairyman, who, it is claimed, said that a bargain was made with the Super- visors and $1800 paid them. The other was John Pfenninger, a nurseryman, who claims to have been told a number of sug- gestive things by several owners of cow ranches. In a letter to TaE CaLn Mr. Pfenninger corrected several statements made by Mr. Tessmer in his communication to the Grand Jury. Mr. Pfenninger wrote: 1do not own a whole block. Iown a partof it and rent some more. 1 did not say Mr. Gradwohl, the cattle-dealer, gaid $20 to the milkmen’s support, but that e paid $10. Madame Bauer did not say that Mr, Kohn, the cattle-dealer on Mission street, Yflid $1000, nuneth-l. he gave %500 and would pay $500 mare. I do not want to figure prominently, as it is not safe. A BURGLAR ARRESTED. One of the Men Who Broke Into Richardson’s Jewelry-Store Is in Custody. The jewelry-store of M. H. Richardson at 735 Market street was entered by bur- | glars on Friday night. Entrance was effected by forcing open the door in the rear on Stevenson street with a “‘jimmy.” Then a glass door on the inside was broken, the padlock pried open and the way was easy. The combination of a smell safe was wrenched off, and as the iuside door was unlocked they were able to help’ them- selves. Gold and diamond rings, loose diamonds and two gold-plated watches to the value of $300 were stolen. On Saturday David McKee tried to dis- pose of some of the stolen articles. De- tectives Egan, Silvey, Crockett and Dillon were notified of the fact, and when he went back to the place he was placed under ar- rest. When searched an intimation dia- mond ring and an African diamond were found in his pockets, which Richardson identified vesterday. McKee will be | charzed with burglary. The tools that are supposed to have been used by the burgiars were found by the detectives on Tuesday night in the base- | ment of Thomas Morris’ saloon, 213 Ste- venson street. Morris disclaimed all knowledge of their being there. e MIXED UP IN A FIGHT. Chris Buckley’s Nephew and a Batcher Exchange Blows. ! William Harrison, a nephew of Chris Buckley, and Patrick McElligeth, a butcher from Butchertown, got mixed up in a fight on the corner of Ellis and Stock- | ton streets last nignt. A crowd gathered, and for a few minutes there was a lively time. Policemen Wilson and Maloney appeared upon the scene, separated the combatants and placed them under arrest. Harrison objected to go to the City Prison in the patrol wagon, so a coupe was called at his request and Policeman Ma- loney accompanied bim. S McElligeth was taken to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon and had a lump under his right eye dressed, after which he was taken to the prison and charged with disturbing the peace. He was considerably under the influence of liquor, and could not give any information as to the cause of the fight. . Harrison was also charzed with disturb- ing the peace, and was released on $10 bail. He gave the name of Henry Harrison. He refused to give his version of the trouble. e A Deserted Child.
