FATHER YORKE'S LETTER. He Replies to Major Sherman, M. T, Brewer, G. A. Hubbell and Others. Rev. Peter C. Yorke submits the follow- ing letter: December 21, 1895. To the Editor of The Call—DEAR SIR: Mr. Sherman complains in_this morning’s Ca that I have dragged his name into controvers Permit me to deny the accusation. Until thi moment I have not mentioned Mr. Sherman’s name and 1 have no intention of violating the decencies of the situation by discussing his character and standing. When Mr. Sherman states that I republished in THE CALL certain articles irom the Monitor he does me an injustice. Iam not the Monitor and the Monitor Publishing Company authen- ticated its letter by its signatures and the in- itials of the proper official. 1 will admit, however, that while I had noth- ing 10 do with said publication I approve of the Monitor's action. Mr. Sherman drew the name of that paper into the controversy with- out rhyme or reason, aud it was the duty of the Monitor to defend itself. 1i Mr. Sherman was not so assiduous in get- ting himself interviewed and if he protested less he might not have so much difficulty in understanding my position. The_present controversy has notaing to do with Mr. Sherman or with Mr. Ross. I am deal- ing now with Messrs. Case, Bovard, Brewer, Morgan, Lawson and Hubbell. My only re- quest 10 Mr. Sherman is to stand aside and mind his own business. 1append to this letter, Mr. seripts which were omitted want of space. Yours truly, PETER C. YORKE. Postscriptum No. 1.—Mr. M. T. Brewer has a rievance. When commenting on his remarks dubbed him “reverend.” He now modestly disclaims the title and adds that my “investi- gAtion in striving to arrive at the facts in this Tespect is fu keeping with my ordinary inves- tigation along ali lines.” 1beg to assure Mr. Brewer that I made no investigation whaisoever about him. His personality and his profession are matters of absolute indifference to me. Ilook upon him and those who are with him as the algebraist looks upon the symbols X, y, z. They are un- known quantities and nizable only by their accidental functions. In the speakers at the Metropolitan Temple I have no interest. 1 deal only with their words. When, therefore, the daily papers called Mr. M. T. “reverend” I accepted the rity without question. In fact, it was wholly against the probabilities to expect to meet a lonely lay- mdn in the erowd of howling dervishes who perform on Sundays for the A. P, A. #wiA perusal of M. T. Brewer's labored lucu- bration demonstrates that we have to deal with another specimen of the “Little Bead Pairiot.”” The unprovoked outrsges which he commits on English grammar are paralieled only by the phonetic spelling of G. A. Hubbell or the syntax of Donald Ross. Isubmit, Mr. Editor, that it wouid be a desirable thin the peace and dignity of this community i these new-fangled protectors of our institu- tions could be induced to attend a little red schoolhouse, or any schoolhouse, in order to become familiar with the three R’s, provided, however, that such familiarity could be at- tained without having recourse to a surgical operation. The limitations of Mr. Brewer’s intellectual processes are manifested by his brilliant re- tort to my statement that the Catholic church itor, the post- sterday through nderstand the situation,” he | ve presented my proofs to the | | | | diction I can truthfully say that I hi he has | J , hypoc- | iereof duly essembled, that | ot ! men of every shade of | grand officer of the Y. 3 keeps politics out of the stnctary. We are accused of using the church as a politieal engine and of attempting to dominate the state, In reply we ask for names, dates and placees, and we appeal to our consistent prac- tice of banishing politics from our pulpits. Mr. M. T. Brewer is unable to give nam dates or places, and then he tries 1o_cover his retreat by drooling about secret societies and Jesuitical conspiracy. gain let me assert that the Catholic church is not in politics. She plants her feet firmly on the principle of the separation of ehurch and state, which is the foundation-stone of our country’s prosperity. Neither by her Bishops, nor by her priests, nor by her laymen does she wish 1o interfere in National or local politics. We appeal to our record in proof of this declara- t Mere assertion proves nothing. Giv give us names; give us dates; give us . 1f the church is as deep in the mire of some of the Pro- s as the A. P mud must have stuc stments. duce your proofs, Mr. Brewer, if you h 3 Proofs more substantial than the dreams and the howlings of that association of old women to which Michae vever, stumbled on a few n.ames. “If the politics,” e says, “of the Y. M. I, Clan na Gael, Hibernians, League of the Cross, Knights of St. Pateick, ete.”” Iwish, Mr. Editor, to deny here and now, as emphatically as I can, that these societies are engaged in politics. Imake one exception. I know nothing of the Clan na Gael. Asfar as 1 can discover it does not exist in San Francisco. It is not a Catholic_society, and never was & Catholic society. For that reason I do not speak of it. Ideal simply with facts,and when T'speak 1 wish to speak with that authority which comes from knowledge. In the first place, then, let me offer my own testimony concerning the League of the Cross. Mr. Brewer's name at the foot of his letter is & presumption that hecan write. His assertions about the League of the Cross give proof positive that he cannot read. For polit Inany vears the doings of the league have been cironieled in the daily It'is in no sense whats 1t is organ- zed for the sole purpost ance and total abstinence. 1t mainly of boys under 21 yvears of age and Is composed has as much to do with politics 8s the man in the moon. M. T. Brewer may attend every meet- ing of the leagne. He mayeven join its ranks, and if he will only assume its obligations his cumbersome senténces may not run rietously the one over the other in the next letter which anevil fate may tempt him to indite. Secondly, concerning the Knightsof St. Pat- Isent to Mr. Jeremiash Deasy for infor- mation. Ireceived this answer MARKET STR \ Sax Fraxcicisco, December 20, 1895. | P C.

Yours respectfully, JoHN LYNCH, Grand President Young Men's Institute. Fourthiy, I clled on the county president of tne A. O. H., and he wrote as follows: FRANCISCO, December 20, R th SAN Rev. P. C. Yor ment that the Hi anything to do with politic: CALL by one M.T. B stateme 895. e & he penalty for the biect at a me is expulslon from the order. M. I M . P, 1776 Howard street. Ido_not think that it is necessary to enlarge San Francisco of the falsity of the charges on these statements to convince the public of made by M. L. Brewer. Indeed, the events of the past few weeks have led men to the con- clusion that the representatives of the A. P. A. cannot help circulating falsehood. They lied about our doctrine, they lied about Manitoba, they lied about the chaplain of San Quentin, they lied about the sisters, they lied about the nativity of the convicts, they lied about the re- ligion of the convicts, they lied about the Tiests, they lied about the Jesuits, and they ied about themselves. The public sees and understands all this, ana_they recognize. that these patriotic speakers have attained such a momentum in mendacity that they can no more stop now than can s runaway trainon a down grade. It is too iate in the day now to imagine that sensible men will credit Mr. Brewer's raving: cal contrivings of Catholic societies. Catholic societies are just like Protestant societics or non-sectarian societie: They are organized for certain ends, social, religious, beneficial. They try to attain these ends sometimes suc- cessfully, sometimes without success. But more than this they are not,and the moon- struck madness which mirrors in its bloodshot | eve midnight drillings and - ecclesiastical armories, and stealthy conspiratorsis fed upon dime novels, and the end thereof is Stockton. Mr. T. Brewer is very much disturbed at the existence of certain military organizations to which none but Roman Catholics can be ad- mitted. Iam not familiar enough with condi- tions all over this State to make an absolute denial, but I demand from Mr. Brewer the name of a single military organization in this State to which _none but Roman Catholics can be admitted. Moreover, I would suggest to Mr. M. T. Brewer that he has chosen &n unpropi- tious time to manifest his disturbance at the existence of military organizations. It looks as if we should soon want all the arms and the men we can muster. War with England is, to say the least, not improbable, and let me re- | mind Mr. Brewer that while nearly 200,000 Irishmen have volunteered to serve the flag we have not heard that Mr. Brewer or his soclety has offered & single rific or & man. Indeed, Mr. Editor, it is more than likely thatif war should come these knights of the jawbone will be found under the Union Jack. Since Grover Cleveland’s message you can tell every A. P. A. in town by his sour visage and his long face. Like their champion the vast majority of them owe allegiance to Her Gracious Majesty Victoria, R. L., and evéry time the lion’s tail is twisted their hearts ex- perience a sympathetic twinge, M. T. Brewer speaks much of the principles and the patriotism of the A. P. A. Again I say that this is an unpropitious time to draw ai- tention to the genesis of his society. The pres- ent unfriendliness with England has brought prominently before us that she is our heredi- tary enemy. The newspapers have shown that for” years she has been preparing for war. Times and seasons are not known even to the angels, but the trend of destiny is manifest to lind. War with Englaud is inevita- ble and England has long ago recognized the inevitable and has prepared to meet it. She is the successor of old Rome, and every trick of old Rome ishers. Divide and conquer has been her motto all over the world. and her success has justified her confidence in that policy. To-day she is trying to divide America. She has sent hier minions into this land 1o re- vive the old religious feuds and to set brother against brother in order that the strength of our land having been wasted in intestine discord she may work her own sweet will. This is the trne reason of the origin of the A. P.A. It is an engine of British diplomacy manned by British subjects and b\lbsia' British_gold. the A. P. A. in this City? Canadians, Orange- men, Britishers. Who is their champion? A subject of Queen Victoria? Who is their supreme head? Trainor, a Canadian alien. they entered it with a hoodwink on their eyes, and they will shake its dust off their feet when | they recognize its purpose. Yes, Mr. Brewer, it is unjortunate for you to talk of patriotism at this juncture, you who are the conscious or unconscious instrument of & power whose one ambition is to see this great republic broken and debased. t is hardly necessary to draw your attention, Editor, 1o the extraordinary discrepancy between the statements of G. A. Hubbell an M. T. Brewer concerning the A. P. A. oaths. Mr. Hubbell gracefully ?'telrls to the inevitable and admits the authenticity of the documents which I published. Mr. Brewer lifts up his voice and denies with ail his might. Now, I have & proposition to make to Mr. Brewer. He appears to be afraid that I will offer him $100 10 produce his ritual, and he declares in ad- vance that my offer will be in vain. I have no intention, however, of making the offer. I know a better way to arrive at the truth and a cheaper, I make this statement: “The oaths and declarations published in my letter were administered and ‘taken in A.P. A. Council about the “secret manipulations” and Jesuiti- | There are some Americans in tne order, but-| No. 1 in this City at 0dd Fellows’ Hall on Fri- day, August 3, 1894.” ; Will you, M. T. Brewer, go yourself before & notary public and swear that this statement is false?” Will you bring Phillips the chaplain and have him make affidavit to that effect? Will you get Willard D. Kingsbury, a vice- princlgnl in one of our public Schools, to take oath that said oaths were not administered in the Mission Benevol Society in the summer of last year, or, in the Excelsior Social Club, say on October 11,1894 ? Do this, and the people may begin to think that you are seriousin your denial. You know that the unwritten ritual gives you permission to commit perjury and to swear that you are not a member of the A. P. A., because in_ reality you are an American. Let ussee if the same ritual gives you permission to perjure yourselves concern- ing plain facts. M. T. Brewer explains the preponderance of preachers in the A. P. A. by the theory that all patriotic lawyers and doctors are afraid of the boycott. I do not believe that there is an American in this whole land, doctor or lawyer, who would be deterred from doing his duty to his country by fear of a boycott. Let me teil Mr. Brewer that in this City the boycott is the own bantling of the A. P, A. It was in their lodges that the celebrated Carter's directory was concocted; it is from their lodges slink the coward committees, who prowl from house to house and from store to office, demanding the dismissal of Catholic girls, intriguing to take the bread out of the mouths of Catholic widows and orphans. The boycott, Mr. Brewer, is the peculiar, the darling weapon of the A. P. A. and it i1l becomes you to complain of its operation. The reason why there are no decent doctors, no decent lawyers, no respectable business men in the A. P. A. is because it is a fnreign society, sustained by bigotry and spread by fraud. M. T. Brewer speaks of the publie schools. Let me inform him that the Catholics of this City contribute more than half the taxes to support these schools. Let me tell him that they pay every cent of the revenue which car- ries on the parochial schools. Let me add that they provide enough of children to crowd these parochial schools, and let me conclude by re- | ARREST OF A BOY KING. Gilbert Blodes, the Czar of the Newsboys, Is in Custody. HIS POOLROOM FOR WOMEN. The Police Raid the Place Where Women and Young Girls Go to Gamble on Races. #'Did you know ’bout ‘Fatty’ Blodes? Dey pull ’em in.” Nothing so startling has ever been an- nounced around Lotta’s fountain. The death of Jay Gould some years ago cut no figure in the fluctuation of values {on Wall sireet, nor would the absolute declaration of war between the English- speaking countries, as did the announce- ment of Blodes’ arrest among the news- boys yesterday afternoon. Gilbert Blodes is their King. He is the httle boy, who, at the age of 7, about twelve years ago, had to hold on to the drinking cups of the fountain that the are: ‘*‘How did Blodes know he was to be arrested, and why did Judge Conlan fur- nish him with a release before he was ar- rested?” % The “Belfry”’ poolmen met again last night, and Chairman Kennedy announced that the cases of the arrested members of the organization had gone over until to- morrow, when sentence will be imposed. Upon Kennedy’s motion it was decided that not only would the cases be appealed 1o the Superior Court, but they would be taken to the Supreme Court if necessary. The meeting also settled that' some one house must be rentea where all of the twenty-two poolrooms scattered about the City could assemble and do business. A special wire from said house to the race- track must also be strung. FRIENDS OF POOR CHILDREN. The Home Saving Society Extends Its F¥ield of Usefulness. An interesting circular letter has been issued to the members of the Children’s Home Society by its officers, stating that the work of child-saving is being judi- ciously and vigorously carried out by the executive committee and officers, consist- ing of Rev. M. M. Gibson, Rev. William Rader, Rev. W. H. Latourette, William M. Bunker, D. M. Carman and General John McComb; Rev. U. Gregory, D.D., assistant superintendent; Rev. J. C. Baker, district superintendent; Coiumbian Bank- ing Company, treasurer; W. H. H. Hart, attorney. Arrangements have been made to send the girls that may be taken by the society to Mrs. Carrie Judd Montgomery’s hom= at Beulah, near Oakland, and also for the building of a temporary home for the boys WOMEN WATCiIING THE POOLS IN THE ROOMS OF [Sketched by a *“ Call™ artist.] THE “NEWSBOY KING.” marking thatthey have still sufficient children left to half fill the public schools. Mr. Brewer displays his ignorance by calling for & list of “Roman Catholic Jund who have attended our public schools.” Big as is your Sunday edition, Mr. Editor, think Mr. Brewer's list would exhaust its resources. Of the five priests at the cathedral four attended public schools, one mnever at- tended eny other school. Ido notwish totake up your space by dwelling on this challenge of M. T. Brewer. Its absurdity is only equaled by the solemn, owl-like wisdom with which it has been hurled at our heads. ST Postscriptum No. 2—Mr. F. D. Bovard with lamentable perversity refuses to repent of his slander and continues to say the thing that is not. In hisresolution he denominates my of- fer to pay $100 in charity a bet. I repeat for the tnird time thatin no sense can this offer be considered a bet. It is but a tax levied for the berefit of truth and when F. D. Bovard called it a wager he perverts the truth. However, I am not surprised either at his action or at his rbYPtlliol) of his offense. Some time ago he called several respectable ladies of Alameda drunkards and drunkard-makers. He was promptly rebuked, but like the unpenitent thief he only continuea his revilings. Mr. Bo- vard says he does not like to be pecked on by a buzzard. 1 might remind Mr. Bovard that zoologists are unanimous in the declaration that buzzards pick only on carrion. P. C. Y. Postseriptum No. 3—All the way from San Jose one J. G. Lawson has precipitated him- self on the discussion with the remarkable statement that the Baptists have been perse- cuted by the Roman Catholics. Now, I am somewhat familiar with the his- tory of the Baptists and of their noble conduct under persecution, and I cannot call to my mind a single instance when that persecution came from Catholics. I know that Luther preached a crusade against them, I know that Henry VIII burned them, I know thai the riests in this | i | financial standing has kept pace with his | Swiss Presbyterians, in bitter mockery of their | belief, drowned them, I know that the Puri- tans exiled them, I know that to-day in_Mary- land and Kentucky the Methodists are_jailing them, but I think, as far as my recollection goes, that our hands are clean. For the sake of Roger Williams every American should have a soft spot in his heart for the Baptists,and I | think that J. G. Lawson will fiud, if he studies his history, that the Roman church is not as bad as some would make herout. P. C. Y. THE JURY DISAGREED. Could not Decide in the Case of Adams vs. the Pacific Improve- ment Company. The jury in the case of J. Q. Adams, who had brought suit against the Pacific Im- provement Company for money alleged to be due on a contract, was discharged last night by Judge Daingerfield. The plaintiff, J. Q. Adams, brought suit against the Southern Pacific Company and the Pacific Improvement Company to re- cover something over $207,000. The money was due, Aaams claimed, oa an unfulfilied contract to handle coal for the defendant company.. He had a five years’ contract to handle all the coal belonging to the two companies from ship to bunkers and to N wagons, both on this side of the bay and | in Oakland. The price was to be 17 cents a ton. The contract went into effect on January 1, 1893, and on July 1 of the same year the defendants repudiated it, claiming that Adams was not filling his part of the agree- ment and had not provided proper ma- chinery. Adams then brought suit for what he claims he would have made had the contract been allowed to run out the five years. The jury went out at 11 o’clock Friday morning, and at 11 o'clock last night was discharged, being unable toagree. The jury stood six to six. Thirty ballots were taken altogether. New Symphony Orchestra. Lest Tuesday the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra was organized for the purpose of giving semi-popular and symphony concerts. For the present !emim\l]nr concerts will be given once a week in Fellows’ Hall, with thirty-six professional musicians, and will be conducted by James Hamilton Howe of Bos- ton, who isat present conducting the San Francisco and Oakland Oratorio societies. e VERY fine white diamond, 4!{ carats, will be sold Monday afternoon at 1 Field’s auction, H.mme"m"h'& wind might not waft bim away while he solc his daily papers. He has'grown won- drously large since that time and his accumulation of flesh, Blodes is the lad who goes into the busi- ness offices of the various newspapers and tells the men there how many boys he will put on the streets the next day or on any particular occasion. He is the one who says just what his boys should make on each sale. Heis the Czar of the gamins du pave, who swear by him before his face, but who fret under his iron hand. He directs the locations where the news- boys must stand to ply their business, and woe to the poor kid who trespasses upon another’s domain. If he does it is simply a question of getting a licking at the hands of the other urchins. If there isa tech- nical point as to boundary lines the joint irn&(;rtnnce of Olney and Salisbury is not to be compared to that of Gilbert Blodes. This is the personage who was an- nounced yesterday about Lotta’s fountain as having been arrested. No wonder there was consternation. But Gilbert has “gone and done” wrong. Gilbert in his endeavor to accumulate wealth has branche off into several chan- nels, many of whicn are right, no doubt, but he lias somehow run himself up against Captain Witiman, who believes that he is not gathering in the money in accordance with the law. He realized the tremendous amount of money the pool-sellers on horseraces were | making in their downtown establishments and he tried to make a place for himself among them. But there was no room for him. The “Big Eight” and the “Solid Eight” of the “Belfry’’ had all the trade. He would not be shut out, however, as he explained to a CALL reporter yesterday. “You see’’ (he put it with emphasis), “I’m very much o}): lady’s man. I know a lot of the swellest that go out there to the track. They know me, and they know T'm all right.” Ican’t get a place down with the balance of them, so I just opened up here for the women. Idon’tplay for any one else, “I keep the place clean, and there’s no suspicious characters around—nothing but fine ladies. *‘There was a kid making & book down at the fountain, but his play is only 5 cents. I'll give my lady friends a $100 bet if they want.”” Blodes stood in front of his own gam- bling-house at 203 O’Farrell street as he spoke. Itisan ideal establishment, well hung with silken portieres and furnished with comfortable lounges and ckairs. No men are allowed in the place, and when Police Officers R. J. Byrne, D. T. Sylvester and J. F. Welch introduced themselves yesterday afternoon there was quite a utter of excitement. +Is_this ‘Mr. Blodes?”” was the useless question asked by the officers. They had been furnished with a description of the lad which included the fact that hiscir- cumference was equal to his height. “That's me,” was the prompt answer. *I know what you want.” Officer Welch read his warrant of arrest and Blodes leaned back smilin, The lecture over Blodesreached into his pocket and pulled out an order of release signed by“Judg‘e Conlan. A fere’s the paper; you don’t want me,” Officer Welch is a new man on the force and he is not yet acquainted with the ways of Police Judges. ien the warrant was given him to serve by Judge Joachimsen he was in- structed to bring his man in or collect $3001n cash as bail or a bond of $500. He was staggered to see Judge Conlan's re- lease of "his prisoner on his own recogni- zance, “I'll take you in anyhow,” exclaimed the policeman, grabbing Blodes by the back of the meck, *‘Judge Joachimsen told me to do so. I don’t know, anyhow, how you got this order of release from ancther Judge before you were arrested.’ The “King” had te go to the station, where it was found that Judge Conlan’s reiease noo%&ood in lieu of a bond. The questions which are uppermost, however, at the same place. Industrial features may be introduced in these temporary homes .that will furnish employment for the older children and teach them in me- chanical arts, gardening, chicken-raising, etc., thus fitting them to become self-sus- taining men and women.
