A HISTORIAN TO EXPLAIN. Professor Moses or Some Other Au. thority Will be Asked to Pre- ‘ sent the Case. The ministers of this City determined vy to call a mass-meeting of citizens | cuted and refused their rights, and yet Eng- iend has never raised a hand to help them. #Now, if you want to go on make it a general stion and protest against outrages against ¥ people. of “humani plish anyth Let it be put on the broad ground | For my.part, if I could accom- | , [ would be glad to go to Ar- | menia as a Jew and say that no Christians shall be persecuted.

For a time after the rabb had spoken there was a deep silence. Finally Dr. Scott, who had been a missionary in Ar- menia for ten years, took the floor. He said: .

Iknow thati the Armenians would rather have any other nation teke possession in place of the Turks. They | prefer to to have Russia in control. The Rus- | sians understand the Turk, his deceit, his | chicanery. They understand the guirks and turns of the Oriental character because they are half Oriental themselves and could manage the country better than the English. i that, notwithstanding the cruelties that have characterized Russian rule, it would be better for Russia to take possession of Armenia. | Armenians almost to & man are praying that Russia to rule over them, i d that he believed that - ¢ one sentiment, and that they should voice it. He continued: i Ifeel like following out the suggestion of | Rabbi Voorsanger,and including all outrages | in our protest. We should make the meeting | worthy of the better element of San Francisco. | Let the protest go forth against outrages on | Jews as well as Armenian: I believe that humanity will have itsday and triumph. | Dr. Minturn, replying to Dr. Voorsanger’s suggestion that diplomacy came into the CLEVELAND IS ATTACKED, Rev.

Professor Foster Dwells Upon the Need of More Learning on the Part of Ministers. “QOleveland is drawing attention to the Venezuelan matter to cover his own de- linquencies. The drop of comfort in the {cupis that he will speedily have a suces- sor, and it is to be hoped that successor will have the statesmanship of a Blaine, not a Cleveland. I have spent part of my | life in America, part in England, and know that Americans are treated with the same courtesy there that the English are | accorded here, if they behave themselves as well.” This vocal explosive was thrown into the midst of the meeting of Congregational sell, Rey. Mr. Hammond and Dr. Case were named. Rev. Mr. Gilliland of Sonth Americaand Reyv. John Curry, the Scotch evangelist, were introduced. % Dr. Case, Rev. F. K. Baker and Dr. Bently were appointed a committee on nominations for the election, which will take place next Monday. Rev. C. J. Larson announced that the dedication of the Norwegian-Danish Church on Tenth street would be aeld on | February 10, and would officiate on that occasion. MRS. BUBBANK WINS. Failure of the Suit of the British Walk- erley Heirs in the United States Circuit Court. By the action of the United States Cir- cuit Court yesterday Mrs. William F. Bur- bank of Oakland, widow of the late Wil- liam Walkerley, is made secure in her pos- session of her dead husband’s estate. A short time ago several British heirs made an effort, by filing an action in this court, to set aside the California Supreme Court decision and to have the trust, carried out. d The suit was brought against Columbus Bartlett, Frank Barker and Martin Bacon to compel a specific performance of the trust. The State Supreme Court had de- clared the trustvoid on the ground that the designiation of a period of time con- | flicted with the California statute and, in effect, might defeat the very purpose of the testator. The Federal court agreed with the State court in regretting that the GEORGE EDWARD WALK, H. N. BEVIER AND RABBI VOORSANGER DISCUSS THE ARMENIAN QUESTION. to protest against the atrocities being'per-‘ petrated in Armenia. ; The mass-meeting will be held January 13 at a place to be fixed upon later. It was | the sense of the gathering that some such | man as Professor Bernard Moses be asked | to sddress the big meeting, giving the | status of affairs of Armenia, and that | others too be asked to furnish the eloguence | and enthusiasm. | Those present were Rev. George Walk | i- Trinity Church, Rabbi Jacob Voor- sanger of Temrple Emmanu El, Rabbi Jacob | to of Sherith Israel, Rev. H. N. Bevier | the Memorial Church, Rev. W. D. Wil- | ns of Plymouth Congregational, Rev. >. Minton of the Presbyterian Theo- | 1 al Seminary at Anselmo, Rev. Dr. | Bentley of Berkeley, Rev. Thomas Filben f the First Methodist Episcopal, Rev.J. K. Scott, editor of the Socialist, and Rev. C:7J. ‘Larsen of the Norwegian-Danish Congregational Church. | The meeting organized by chosing Rey. George Edward Walk chairman and Rev. H. N. Bevier secretary. Dr. Minton stated the object of the meet- | saying that it had been 's\l_gge!ted at 1e-last Monday meeting of ministers. pr, Williams, on behali of the Congrega- sts indorsed the idea of a mass- eting. He said: 11d be glad to do my part, and I believe or ali my brothers when I say that v will fail in with_anything that is pro- d nere. 1 should like'to see the meettng @ broadest platform possible, and solely on theground of humanitarianism. A mass ng should be held in a large hall, an i 11 suggest that Mayor Sutro, as the Tepre- | htative of the City, be asked to preside. Dr. Bentley moved that it be declared sentiment of the assembiy that a mass- | eting on the question of the Armenian | e tics be held in this City in the near future. | After the question was announced by | the chairman, Dr. Minton stirred up the | hornets’ mest in the meeting by calling | upon Dr, Voorsanger, who took the Chris- tian ministers of the City to task for hav- ing refrained from protesting against the | outrages against the Jews in Russia four years_ago. He closed, however, by offer- ing his voice and influence in behalf of the Christians now being persecuted in | Armenia. He said: 1. dare say you will take it for granted that wheén it is‘a question of humanity both I and | Iy brother Nieto will be among the first to | respond. But it is a question in my mind whether, the gentlemen here thoroughly un- derstand the matter. We Americans are very | wpt to take the newspapers #s authority for | erything thatis going on. If there is one | agency in the world that will make the most | otit of gny pieceof news, that will put it in the | best or worst light, whichever will make the greatest “sensation, that agency is the Asso- ciated Press. Iknow that these people are be- ing persecuted and my heart goes out to them; | but whatdo you know of the diplomatic, the solitical questions involved? What do you now of‘the machinations o[_Rusui&, webon;; trying to gain possession of territory ?\' &l mfn.fnufne cgn to stir up trouble? What do you know of the indusirial questions, the financiel questions? The Armenians are the money lenders of the country, and this, no doubt, has much to do with the trouble with the Kprds. The Kurds, if you please, are robbers. But is the question all on one side? Just now you are all horror-struck at these cruelties perve- trated on the Christians in Armenia by the ohammedans.” But 1 remember that four rs ago, when even worse outrages were per- petrated by the Russians on the Jews, when they were driven out not one of the Christian clergymen of this city, except Thomas Chal- Easton, raised a voice in protest. gland you will no doubtind the people b5 crying out agalust these Armenian ou'rages. When England received back from Berlin the treaty, they boasted they bad formed the | | Filben. | the date of the mass-meeting. kingdom of Roumania and had arranged s uatantee of equal rights to all the subjects, Jp to this day 300,000 Jews haye heen perse- fiuestion, said that he did not see that, iplomacy could stand as an apology for murder. Some one is responsible for the inhumanity and indescribable atrocities, and it is necessary to fix the responsibility. He said he was oot here at the time of the Russian outrages referred to by Dr. Voor- | sanger, but he was in favor of all ministers speaking out whatever the creed or color | of the victims of inhuman persecutions. Rev. H. N. Bevier announced that he had called upon Fatner Prendergast to ask him to 'attend the meeting. Mr, Bevier | said: Father Prendergast told me that while he would sympathize with us_he would notat- tend the meeting for fear he might throw & firebrand into it, much, I suppose, as Dr. Voorsanger might have done, but did not. He referred to the fact that when a few years ago the Russians were persecuting the Catholics in Lithuania there wes no sympathy expressed from the Protestant pulpits of this City. Rabbi Nieto made a very neat little speech which did away with the least | vestige of feeling of embarrassment caused by Dr. Voorsanger. He said: 1 No people can be in more sympathy with | these Armenisns than that nation that has | Enown the painsof oppression for centuries. While, as Dr. Voorsanger says, we might think of withholding our sympathy because of your failure to take any action while the Jews were being persecuted in Russia, still we will freely forgive you, and will join with you heartily. Mr. Walk said that he believed it was | the duty of every man who believed in tol- eration to raise his voice against outrages i whether committed by Turks or Russians, Jews or Christians. The motion to hold a meeting was car- | ried unanimously, and it was decided to | appoint a committee of five with full power | to act. The chairman named Dr, ?:I C. Minton, Dr. Voorsanger, Rev. H. N. Bevier, | Rev. W. D. Williams and Rev. Thomas Mr. Walk was added to the com- mittee by the body. | Dr. Voorsanger suggested that in order | to intelligently present the question to the | meeting some such man as Professor Ber- | nard Moses of the University of Califor- | nia be asked to present the actual status of | affairs in Armenia and explain the his- torical motives that underiie all the troubles. It was also suggested that on some Sunday evening before the meeting the ministers of the City preach upon the subject in their churches. After the meeting adjourned the com- mittee met and fixed upon January 13 as Moth: Attention. 1f you want boys’ clothing ora hat call at the Branch Old I X L, corner of Sixth and Mission streets.

Dr. M. Wil- letts supported the professor’s view, say- ing there was no danger of preaching too great sermons. There was more danger of the opposite result. The pulpit was losing its hold, in his opinion, because it did not reach the classes of minds that influenced other minds. He regarded homileticsas a science that would yield great rewards for painstaking study. Some of the ministers thought cut and dried sermons lacked force and thought the congregation should be studied more and the text less. Professor Foster took occasion to reply to a criticism of theological seminarnes and professors by saying that the lines followed in those institutions and by those men were essentially practical. He had heard many criticisms of slovenly ser- mons it might do the preachers gcod to hear. Much thought he had given to the plans of Austin Phelps, whose pupils occupied a majority of the most im- portant positions in the Congregational domain. Rev. C. A. Clark, who represents the American Board of Missions in Japan, will give an address on missionary work next week. Presbyterian Ministers. Rev. F. J. Akers addressed the Presby- terian Ministerial Association on “The Place of the Student Voluntary Movement in Foreign Missions,” in which he em- phasized the .importance of practical preparation for foreign missionary work. Dr. J. E. Scott, who has filled the post of missionary among the Armenians, said that the foreign field is in many respects more congenial than are home missions; | that missionaries are usually treated with greater respect abroad than at home. It was a fallacy, too, he had found, that the subjects oi missionary labor are ‘‘hunger- g and thirsting for the gospel.” They are in an attitude of indifference or re- jection. Methodist Preachers’ Meeting. Rev. F. King suggested the wisdom of sending missionaries who bad some me- chaaical skill, at least who could “saw a board straight.”” The paper was dis- cussed by Rev. E. E. Clark, Dr. Minton, Rev. Duncan Munro and Rev. E. J. Du- puy, the trend of ovinion being that it was far from a sacrifice to take up the du- ties of a foreign missionary. Rev. F. J. Akers, who presented the paper, was one of several hundred appli- cants for a post as foreign missionary who were rejected by the American board be- cause of lack of means to prosecute the work as generally as was desired. Mrs. I. M. Condit read a letter from Rev. F. E. Haskins of Zahleh, Syria, descrip- tive of the situation in Armenia. Professor Lloyd addressed the Methodist preachers’ meefing on “The Inspiration of the Scriptures.” On motion of Dr. W. Case a com- mittee was appointed to draft resolutions concerning the death of Dr. John Miley of Madison, N. J., professor of systematic theology, Drew Seminary. Bishop Good. / w.

Givens. THE CASE OF GILBERT BLODES, Wagner Ordinance Passed to Print, but a Notice of Reconsideration Given. George D. Givens, the pool-seller, who was convicted of violating the Ellert ordi- nance, appeared before Judge Joachimsen yesterday morning for sentence. His at- rest of judgment on the usual statutory grounds, and the motion was denied. The Judge without any comment sen- tenced Givens to pay a fine of §200, with the alternative of spending the next 180 days in the County Jail. Notice of appeal was given and ten days’ stay of execution was allowed. John Stayson, alias Stencil, who pleaded guilty, will not be sentenced till Jan- uary 8. Gilbert Blodes, alias ‘‘Fatty” Blodes, who conducted the pooi-selling resort “for ladies” at 201 O’Farrell street, also ap- peared before Judge Joachimsen. Through his attorney he pleaded not guilty and de- manded a jury. The case was set for Jan- uary 9. When the case was called in court the Judge asked, ‘Where is the man Blodes?’ Prosecuting Auorneer Dare remarked that Judge Conlan haa released him on his own recognizance. “‘Other poolroom proprie- tors are giving bail,” said the Judge, “and I can’t see why Blodes should be so fa- vored.” These remarks reached the ears of Judge Conlan and he leit the bench to explain to Joachimsen that when a person surren- dered himself it was the usual thing in Police Court jurisprudence to let the de- | iendant go on his own recognizance. He had simply followed the usual course in the case of Blodes. There was nothing unusual in_the proceeding and he had no intention of showing any partiality toward Blodes. Judge Joachimsen fixed Blodes’ bonds at $500. His surcties were Herman Wal- lert, 123915 Folsom street, and Fred Glass, barber, 17 ron street. C. L. O’Donnell, who conducted a pool- 7 Leidesdorff street, had his case continued till Friday next. There are several *John Doe’’ warrants in the hands of the police, and more pool- sellers will be arrested as soon as evidence is procured by the police against them. sellers,” said Chief Crow- y 3 ve given up the business temporarily and are applying to the direct- ors of the racetrack for the privilege of selling pools within the inclosure. If they are sccorded that privilege pool-selline will be confined entirely to the racetrack, but if not they will give up the business entirely, | “Why should I show any mercy to these | men? There isno use in moralizing; we | all know what evil they have wrought in the community, and I am_ determined to stop them at all hazar: The sentence of vens by Judge Joachimsen to-day will have a salutary effect, and I hope the decision will be affirmed in the Superior Court.” The poolroom ordinance proposed by the Supervisor from the Twelfth Ward was | passed to print yesterday by the Board of Supervisors though Supervisor Taylor gave notice that he would move for a recon- sideration at the next meeting. The ordinance proposed by the Grand Jury closing the downtown poolrooms, but permitting pool-selling within the confines of racetracks, was read by the clerk, when the father of the ordinance entirely pro- hibiting pool-selling within the confines of the City and County moved that his measure be made a substitute. There was no discussion on the matter and the motion was carried by a vote of 8 to 4, Supervisor Taylor voting with the majority, much to the surprise of the erst- while Solid Bight. His motivein so doing was apparent a moment later when he arose and gave notice that he would move for a reconsideration at the next meeting of the board. Supervisor Morgenstern's vote was also a surprise, for he voted against the men he has stood solidly with for months past. The ordinance will come up for reconsider- ation on Monday, January For Burying Indigent Dead. A petition for writ of mandate has been filed in the Superiar Court to compel Auditor Brod- erick to approve a claim of $400 by the Pacile Undertakers’ Association for burying indigent dead in 1893-84. The Auditor had declined to sudit the claim on the ground that the fund is exhausted. NEW TO-DAY. Sunshine, Fruit and Flowers...
