Several claimed that a majority was sufficient, but the chairman said that a special rule took precedence over general rules. This was | questioned, and the secretary read from the book rule 3. It stated clearly that not less than cight members should form a | quorum, and so a few minutes were al- lowed to elapsein hope that the eighth man might come in; but the plans had been too carefully laid, Church was sick and in | bed, Riley was busy at the courtiiouse, Ford | missed the train from Niles, and Walsh, | Bernal and Striker forgot about the meet- ing at the last minute and did not recover their memories till Chairman Mautalen Had declared the meeting adjourned sine ie. The county committee is in a position now that is not at all uncommon in Ala- meda County politics, Chairman Mau- talen has not sufficient votes to re-élect him chairman if a full board were present, but he has just enough to prevent a quo- rum from getting together znd ousting to elect him, but not enough to form a quorum. How long the deadlock may continue not a politician on the street can be induced to say. One vote will change the whole situation, but even then the blocking of aquorum will prevent reor- ganization. TWO SERMEONS 0N CLUBS Revs. Morgan and Bovard to Expatiate on Alameda “Man Traps.” What the Alameda Divines Will Preach About To.Day. Notes. ALAMEDA, Car., Jan. 11.—Two of the Alameda church services are likely to be well attended to-morrow evening. At the First Christian Church Rev. Heary Victor Morgan will take up the subject dwelt upon last Sunday by Rev. Dr. Bovard of the Park-street Methodist Church, wherein he denounced the clubs of Alameda as “man- traps.” Rev. Mr. Morgan's congregation holds its services every Sunday in rooms adjoining those occupied by Alameda’s only club. He is expected to have some- thing to say in defense of this club, and to see something good in the general club idea—at least, not to condemn it abso- lutely as being corrupting and demoraliz- ing. His subject is announced to be, “What the Churches Might Learn from the Clubs.” Rev. Dr. Bovard stirred up so much controversy by his prelude of last Sunday that he will have another this evening on the same subject, entitled “Man Traps Explained.” ‘What They Will Preach About.

Hill, a Brakeman, Shoots | His Wife and Gives Himself Up. The Murderer Calmly Teils His Story Behind the Bars Between the Puffs of a Cigarette. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN F 908 Broadwa § B. L. Hill, a brakeman, shot his wife at | Thirteenth and Kirkbham streets, to-night, | The murder was instigated by jealousy. Hill returned from Portland this morn- ing on the State of California, and took up | his quarters at the International Hotel in San Francisco. He came to Oakland and saw his wife and learned from her that their two-year-old boy was with a family in East Oakland. Hill visited the boy and | returned to San Francisco. He came back to Oakla to-night, waited on the street for his wife to come out, waiked half a lock with her, and on the corner of Thir- teenth and Kirkbham streets, fired three 8. into her head. 5 After the shooting Hill walked toward the neighboring carhouse and gave him- self up to two men who came out when they heard the shots. “That’s what I've done,” he said, point- ing to his dead wife. The murderer was taken to the city prison | and was as caim and deliberate asa man | could be. Within an hour of the murder he told the following story to a CALL re- porter between the puffs of a cigarette with as much sang froid as is attributed to the most hardened murderers. “This thing has been going on for some | time,” said Hill, “and I have been Veryi quiet about it. Not long after we marriea trouble began and there has been more or less of it during the four years since we ! were married in Suisun, I do not wish to | cast any reflections on my wife and conse- { quently I cannot say much at this time. | | 1 kept a saloon for four years at Suisun | and they were far from happy. | “Tast March I moved to Oakland and | | we went to housekeeping on Willow street. I was employed by the Southern Pacific as | a brakeman, but on account of my wife's behavior I made up my mind that we could not live together, and last Novem- ber I went to Oregon. “I threw up my job and went north solely because my wife was not behaving herself. She did not drink, but she kept too much company. We wrote to each other and about a week ago I received a letter that induced me to reiurn. She said | that all would be well if I came back, and that she would see that I should have nothing to repent of if I came back. “IL arrived this morning and cailed on her. She had given up housekeeping and was living with a Mrs. Thompson, at Eleventh and Kirkliam streets. I was not pleased with what I discovered, and after going out to East Oakland to see our two- year-old boy I returned to San Francisco. To-night I came over here and went to Mrs. Thompson’s house. I did not call on my wife, but waited on the sidewalk till she came out. Then I walked with her to | the corner, where she was to take an electric car. “We had some words and when we got | to the corner I didit. I think I fired three times, There was no scuffle and she made no effort to defend herself. I heard something which if any man had heard would have made him do the same thing. I wili not say now who Las cansed all this, but there was somebody taking my place {and that is all there is to it. I made no effort to get away as I might have done, for there was no one near. I gave myself up and can put up with the consequences.”” Hill rold his story very deliberately and seemed totally unconscious of the enor- mity of his crime. When he was finished he asked the jailer for something to read and was given a volume of “Mary, Queen of Scots.’ ‘The murder was carried out so suddenly and 3o deliberately that not a minute elapsed between the firing of the first shot and the arrest of the murderer. The pistol was held close to his wife’s head, as the hammer dragged out some tufts of hair as it fell, which wereon the pistol when it was taken from Hill at the prison. Two of the shots are just above the right ear and one through tne left cheek. The victim - was woman about 25 years old, a pronounced blonde of rather heavy figure and tall. Before her marriage to Hill in Suisun she was a Miss Nelson. So far as known nothing can be related against her character. The murderer came here from Wisconsin in 1890 to p]?iy in the Oakiand baseball team. He made a good record in the sea- son of 1890, and after that went to Suisun, where he conducted u.saloon. He is a big, beavy built man, with a large red face that ‘appears to be devoid of gentle- ness or refinement. —_———— The Yellowstone Saloon. James T. Murphy and F.

A FRAUD ON THE CRURCH, YOUR | story cottage of four medium-sized rooms, Archbishop Riordan Denounces the San Leandro Found- | ling Home. WILL ADOPT EIGHTELN BABES Rev. Father McSweeney Empowered by the Children’s Society to Take Them Frem the Home. OARLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcrsco CALL,) 978 Broadway, Jan. 11, | In an isolated part of the county, lying between the town of San Leandro and the bay, is a little four-room cottage. Very few people, even in the neighboring town, know of its existence, yet eighteen hapless babes have been confided to the care ofthe two women who manage the place, under the delusion that they are Sisters of Mercy, and that the cottage is a branch of a Catholic institution. Tales of cruelty, neglect and starvation have occasionally been told by the found- lings and others, but only three days ago was sufficient evidence proauced to war- rant Mrs. Prescott to officially investigate the place and declare thatv it was not a healthy or proper place for the inmates. The case was reported to Mrs. Prescott last Friday by the parents of two boys 5and 7 years of age, who, by the instiga- tion of a Catholic relative, had been tem- porarily boarded in the home. It was done solely upon the representation that for the sum of $8 the children would be boarded and carefully tended in a branch of the Girls’ Directory located on a farm nezar San Leandro, where they would enjoy the freedom of the country under the motherly care of the Sisters of Mercy. The farmhouse proved to be a squatty, one- carpetless and bare in appearance. 1 In a darkened room were the beds that eighteen babies slept in, anything but | clean and the odor was extremely sicx-i ening. ‘The mattresses were bags made of calico led with straw and the pillows the same. A ing-room, carpetless and cheerless, v e the dormitory, back oi which came the kitchen, wherein the | eighieen babes were seated in littie wooden | shairs eating dry bread. A ferocious bulldog in a kennel at the back door growled and snarled most dan- gerously at Mrs. Prescott and her com- panions who were refused admission very emphatically. Only by asserting her rights as an ofticer of the law did she man- age to get outside the reception-room. This week it is now arranged that the children will be put under bettér and pe: manent care for their future wélfare. The Rev. Father McSweency, pastor of the Francis de Sales Church, was seen this afternoon in regard to the alleged Catholic institution at West San Leandro, known as a branch of the Girls’ Directory located in San Francisco. He said: “I did not know that such an institution existed until recently. When I heard 1t I was aca meeting in Berkeley, at which Archbishop Riordan was present. and it gave the excellent opportunity of dis- cussing the matter, which is one of the worst of frauds perpetrated on the Catholic church. The institution has no connection in any way with the Catholic church, and | the quicker the affair is investigated and | the wider publicity it gets the better it will | be, for of all frauds a religious fraud is the most dangerous. ““The first we ever heard of this organi- zation was between three and four years ago, when we were informed that a band of four or five women had met somewhere | in the Western Addition in San Francisco without any authorization from any reli- gious sect and constituted themselves into what, if my memory serves me rignt, as the ‘‘Sisters of St. Francis” or Sisters of | Mercy. They donned the regulation uni- | form of the sisters of the Catholic chureb, | but very little has ever been beard of them. Kvery priest in the State has de- nounced the body from his pulpit and warned his people against them. Conse- quently it is no wonder that a building so far away from everybody should have | been selected and that the visitors who sought to investigate the charges pre- ferred should bave had so much difficulty in finding the place. “From the conversation I have had with those who went through the institution I am perfectly satisfied that those eighteen little waifs are in a terribly neglected and suffering condition. Most 0f them, if not all, have been piaced there under the be- | lief of their parents or guardians that they | were in care of genuine Sisters of Mercy ! under the auspices of the Catholic churcl. | Whien the matter has been explained to | the public in order to inform the friends of these little ones of their suffering and neglected condition and they fail to come | forward, if authorized by Mrs. Prescott, | secretary of the Alameda County branch ! of the Society for the Prevention of | Cruelty to Children, I will upon two min- | utes’ notice take the entire lot of eighteen | children, “[ will place them in one of our homes, | where they will be properly and kindly cared for without any money considera- tion, only to see those suffering, diseased little waifs made_eomfortable and happy. “Archbishop Riordan, who is greatly wrought up over this affair, has notitied all the priests to give publicity to the San Leandro affair from their various pulpits ta-morrow morning, and I hope this will be the means of breaking up the fraud that is heing perpetrated upon the Catho- lic church.” “I am well pleased with the proposition made by Father McSweeney,” said Mrs. Prescott, “and in my official position will empower him to take charge of the neglected children, whose present condi- tion would warrant me in considering them wards of our society. When I visited the Children’s Home at San Leandro there were many indications that were strangely out_of keeping with any other Protestant or Catholic iastitution T'ever had visited, and 1 determined to communicate with our officers at the Sun Francisco head- uarters and request that the directors of | the Girls’ Directory remedy the great number of wrongs seen during my visit. “I fully believe that mostof the little ones in the institution have been sent there under the impression that it was a Catholic home, and T do not propose to be | a party to a deception, and will do all in ! my power to aid Father McSweeueiy in placing the little ones where they will re- ceive the right kind of care and nourish- ment. | | “If necessary an officer of the society can | accompany Father McSweeney whenever | he wisges to take chargs of the little waifs, whose distressed condition is pitiful to be- ' hold.” A STATEMENT DENIED.
