YANGELIST BANE MAY COME BACK, Friends Resent His Treat- ment by the Methodist Conference. HIS REQUESTS DENIED. Removed From a Powerful Church to a Very Humble Pastorate. HIS STANDING NOW IN DOUBT Opponents Say That He Has Rebelled Against the Church aud Is on Outlaw. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,] 908 Broadway, July 1. | It is not unlikely that Rev. A. C. Bane may return to Oakland and be offered an If they bad at first settled down to the foct that we had so much money to spend, and worked with me to make every cent count, more things could have been done. Remember, the city had peen run on an extravagant basis for the four months before the tax leyy was fixed, and still if the $23,000 had not been taken from the street-hght fund—a thing which legally could not have been done—we would have had that money leit as a sur- plus or exvended it repairing streets and keeping open the High School and read- ing-rooms. The Board of Education got more money than it needed, as is demon- strated by its having enough left to equi a Manual Training School. More wor has, I belicve, been done during the past year than the year previous. Nearly every office in the building has been beau- | tifully refitted, the engine houses have been” repaired, sewers extended, streets kept up, the garbage removed, and it is all bhumbug to say that it was not well dene. Another thine. When I came into office, which was three months betore the ending of the year 1894-95 we had had a high tax rate and yet one of the first things I learned was that a deficit of $15,000 was ex- pected. We did absolutely nothing those three montus to save money enough to come out even. This year we bave worked right up to the last. ‘We have money enough to pay our bills. THE FATAL CURVE. A Passenger Thrown From the Los An- geles Train at Tower 1 and Killed. OAKLAND, CaL., July 1.—While round- ing the curve at Tower 1 on the Mole at | 9:40 o’clock this morning a passenger, sup- posed to be A.Chamberlzain of Bishop, Inyo County, fell from the steps of the Los Ang- eles train and was killed nearly instantly. | The conductor reported that the man had | been drinking heavily since he left Fresno. | The remains were brought to the Morgue. Rev, A. C. Bane, Who Is in Conflict With the M. E. Church South Conference. evangelical church. Among his numerous friends the idea is general that he is not wanted in the Methodist Chuich South, and that all the changes to which he has been subjected are but part of a plan to bring about his severance from that organ- ization. About three years ago Rev. Mr. Bane was pastor of the M. E. Church South in Oakland. He was very popular, and there was & great deal of dissatisfaction shown when he was removed. A trustee of the Asbury Church South made the following explanation of affairs to-day: “Mr. Bane has undoubtedly come under the ban of those wembers who dominate the conference,”’ he said, ‘‘and everybody here is interested in the outcome. Few ministers that have been in Oakland have had more friends. He was a Mason, an Elk, a Workman, an Odd Fellow, and was, besides, a powerful preacher. From Oak- land he was transferred to tne large Trin- ity Church at Los Angeles. There he worked as hard as ever, and created so much interest that, we believe, some of his | brethren in this conference rather envied him, and decided that it would be a good thing to dampen his ardor somewhat. Bane became aware of this, and he appliea to the conference for permission to become a local preacher without a definite assign- ment. This was denied him, as he wanted 1o be an evangelist, and the M. E. Church Bouth is not friendly to evangelists. ‘‘After this he was sent to a little church, where he received about $400 a year, at San Diego. His friends here believe he 'was sent there in the hope that he would rebel and so take himself out of the church. At San Diego he soon built up such a large congregation that he was forced to hire a large hall, as his church was inadequate to the membership. He chafed under restraint, however, and said that if the conference would not let bim go, he would be forced togo. This was just what was wanted, but Mr. Bane did not oblige his opponents so readily, and now there is some doubt as to hi standing. church, but his friends say that he has gone on a vacation granted by the congre- fintiau, while his opponents” declare that e has rebelled against the government of the church, and hasdone what his enemies in the conference wanted him todo. We ex- vect him in Oakland shortly, and he would have no difficulty in qu)ekly organizing an independent church.” ) YER OF A DOLLI Mayor Davie Congratulates Him- self on the Result of the Experiment.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1896. LIVERMORE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES, Class of '96 Receives Diplo- mas From President Teeter. A YEAR'S GOOD WORK. First Union High School Organ- ized Under the New Law. BUILDING FULLY EQUIPPED. The Class Is Composed of Three Young Ladies and Three Young Gentlemen. OaxraxD Orrice 8an FrANcisco CALL,} 908 Broadway, July 1. Three bright young ladiesand an equal number of young men form the first graduating class from the new Livermore Union High School. Great interest was shown in the exer- cises, and the building was crowded. Principal W. J. Connell in a little speech expressed his gratification at the progress made during the year, and the graduates were enthusiastically received. The class of '96 consists of: Laura Brad- shaw, Lena Lotz, Minnie Rathbone, Ctto Rathke, John Aylward and Jobhn C. Cal- ‘laghan. The Union High School of Livermore was the first of its kind 1n the State, and, following its example, many other union high schools were organized. The Union High School District No. 1 embraces Highland, Green, Vista, Mocho, Inman, Townsend, May, Harris and Livermore districts, and each district is represented in the board by one trustee. The school was conducted in one of the rooms of the Livermore Public School building, but the demand for the higher education increased so fast that a separate building soon became a necessity. The contract was let in December, 1892, and the school was ready for use in August, 1893, Theclass that has just graduated is the first class that has passed entirely through the new school. The High School has been greatly im- proved during the past year, and is as completely equipped as any in the State with chemical and physical apparatus, and its scholastic work is at present fully up to the standard set by the State Uni- versity. The idea of organizing Union High schools is essentially a Livermore idea. The law establishing such schools was first proposed by some of its citizens, and after its enactment they were the first | to take advantage of its provisions. The Union High School is one of the best educational institutions in the State. The faculty consists of W.J. Connell, prin 1; Miss Adriana Moore, vice-principal iss Helen Thayer, assistant principal, and Miss Cora E. Hogg, teacher ninth grade. Since the ruling of the county board that the eighth grade completed the grammar course in this county, the nintfi grade has been trfnllen;cd to the High School. SHERMAN’S ULTIMATUM. Whittemore Having Been Invited to Read the Proclamation at Monterey Will Be Allowed to Do So. OAKLAND, CaL, July 1.—The pub- lished statements regarding J.

He says: SIR: An article which appears in THE CALL of this date concernln¥ the Sloat family casts reflection upon my actions es the chairman of the committee on arrangements of the Asso- ciated Veterans of the Mexican War for the celebration at Monterey in not selecting a young gentleman claiming to be the great- grandson of Commodore Sloat to be placed on the programme. 1do ro’ ‘ntend to be drawn into any controversy eoncerning this matter, and the least said the boi..c.

Lieutenant James B. Whittemore is beyond a doubt the oidest grandson of Commodore Sloat, and for that reason, being the nearestmale relative, has been selected to read the proclamation. 1 trust that for the benefit of the public and all parties concerned silence will prevail, at least until after the celebration is over. 1am not in the lsundry business.

ALAMEDA, CaL., July 1.—The Board of Livrary Trustees has filed its annual report with the City Clerk, together with the report of the librarian, as under section X1 of the act of 1880. The receipts for the year are given as $10,298 38 and the disbursements $7359 19, leaving a balance of $2939 19. Particular stress is laid on the phenom- enal increase in the circulation of books for home use, “‘which bas rapidly and steadily increased from 51,132 volumes for 1892-93 to 115,126 volumes for the year just ended. Few libraries of double olr num- ber of volumes can show such figures.” Further on the trustees with pardonable | pride claim “that our expenditure on salaries and working expenses Is remark- ably less than that of any other library of similar size or circulation in the United States.” According to the report extensive pur- chases have been made for the reference department, and the library has been made a part of the public school system by affording every facility for furthering the work laid out in the new course of study. The librarian's report shows that there are 20,416 volumes on the shelves, of which 14,726 are in general circulation. The | daily issue of books averages 378 volumes, and only twenty-one are said to be miss- ing. [he number of books circulated during the year reaches 11512, and the average cost to circulate them is 2.1 mills per volume. Before free access to the shelves was given, with balf the circulation, the cost was over 4 milis per volume. Readers have had free access to the book shelves during the past three years. Mri.

Addresses to Be Made From the Steps of the Queer Vehicle. READING MATTER GIVEN AWAY Towns All Along the Coast Will Be Visited This Summer—A Suc- cess in the East. The socialists of this City have accepted a proposition whereby they will be able to spread socialistic doctrines and literature all over the State. The means is new on this side of the Rocky Mountains, but it has worked successfully in the East. The plan is to send outa wagon with literature and speakers, who stop wherever night overtakes them and discuss matters of political economy with any and all who are interested in the subject in any of its various branches. Next week Frank Hadsell and two other socialists will leave this City for the northern counties on such a mission. The vehicle they will travel-in is differentin many respects from any ever szen here Hadsell, who is an earnest member of the Socialist Labor party. He stated yester- day that for years he had not been in good health and he determined to live out of doors as much as possible. A year ago he began to put his plan into operation. He built a wagon that will answer his purposes. Mounted upon a beavy running-gear is a little house ten feet eight inches in length by six feet wide and six feet high. In the sides are six windows for light and air. The interior is neatly and compactly fitted up. It con- tains two cupboards and several little cubbyholes for storing away necessary ar- ticles. The bed is a woven wire mattress in an iron frame, which in the day time is hoisted and fastened to the ceiling, and at night it is let down and rests on ti.e boxes over the wheels, In the front end is the cook stove, of the camp order, and under the driver’s seat all the necessary provisions will be car- ried. A tin box, the width of the wagon, is placed under the footrest, and this will serve as a wardrobe for the traveler's extra clothing. The entire wagon is painted red. In the East ths socialists’ red flag is displayed from the top of this class of vehicles, but no flag will be carried on Mr., Hadsell's house on wheels, Mr. Hadsell will be provided with shotguns and fish- ing tackle to provide hirsself with amuse- ment and his larder with food. A pair of stout horses will be attached to the rie. r. Hadsell stated that it is strictly a private venture, but that he gave the so- | cialists an opportunity to carry on their | propaganda work throughout the State. Who his companions will be is not yet stated. They will start first into Sonoma County, thence to Mendocino, Lake, Yolo and other counties still further to the north. Wherever they can secur> audi- ences, either in towns or in thickly in- habited districts, tha{) will deliver ad- dresses. If halls can be obtained cheap, so much the better. If not, the speakers will deliver their addresses from the steps of the strange red wagon. The local branches and the San Fran- cisco section will furnish the party with | plenty of literature for sale nndp free dis- tribution to all interested. This is right in the line of the local socialists’ efforts. The State executive committee recently decided to send the State organizer into | the interior to form branches wherever possible. It has been suggested that State Organizer E. T. Kingsley will form one of the trio, but if he does not, he will no before. The idea originated with Mr.. HAuction Sales GEO. F. LAMSON, AUCTIONEER.

POLTICS N BERKELE, The McKinley League Organizes and Prepares for the Fray. Prominent People Unite in the In. terest of Horticulture—Society Events. BERKELEY, CAL., July 1.—The McKin- ley League met last evening at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, and adopted a set of by-laws and took other measures necessary to com- plete its organization. The Edgar Republican Club came up for a considerable scoring at the hands of J. W. Striker, who maintained his former position in declaring that the Edgar Club had no right to exist as a representative Republican organization, since they had not received recognition from the State Central Committee, as had his own clab. The Edgar Club was called a ‘‘fake club” by some of tae Striker men, who took the position that Robert Edgar had organized it because he did not receive sufficient recognition from the Striker Club. A special committee, consisting of Messrs. Kerrison, Herlitz and James, was apvointed to secure a permanent place of meeting, a8 well as deciding upon posi- tions for the hanging of campaign banners and flags. . The committee on constitution and by- laws, consisting of A. L. Ott, E.J. Wick- son, Jobn Foy, E. Claresy, H. D. Irwin, J. Hamilton, William Heywood, recori- mended the establishment of local McKin- ley Leagues in different parts of the town, such clubs to have their own constitution and by-laws if desired, but to adopt the name of “McKinley League.” ‘Wedding Bells.

To Cultivate Flowers, BERKELEY, Can., July 1L—A floral society, made up of a large number of prominent citizens of the town, as well as members of the faculty and their wives, was formed last night at Stiles Hall.

As stated, in the East these wagon par- ties have accomplished much in the way of making converts to socialistic doc- trines. There are many places where the inhabitants are Hmorn change in mat- ters political, but being distant from the t centers of civilization where social- has its strongholds they are not familiar with the principles of the doe- trines. fn many instances they rate socialism and anarchy in the same class. In such districts the Eastern lecturers find the ground ripe for the seed, and the success al‘ their teachings is plainly mani- fest by the increase in the Presidential vote for the socialists’ candidate. The so- cialists of Chicago, 8t. Louis, New York and several other large cities have these lecturers out in the country all of the time and pay all of their expenses. In several instances the wagons have never returned to the places from which they started. It may be so in this instance, for Mr. Hadsell has no idea when he will return, and it may be that he will never come places of the town, and the study of the California flora.
