THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 18vye. 13 Interesting News Items From Alameda Coun VALUES CANNOT BF LEGISLATED J. J. Valentine Talks of Finance Before the Ebell Society. HISTORY OF CURRENCY. From the Time of a Shell Ex- change Until Gold Became the Standard. NATURE ALONE CAN GOVERN. Governments and Conventions Cannot Control the Commercial Value of Either of the Metals. OAELAND OFrIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 10. | J. J.Valentine, president of Wells, Fargo & Co., addressed the Ebell Society this evening on “Silver.” The Ebell Society is composed of ladies who meet regularly do mot desire to debase the standard of value; that they would have every debt paid ir gold or ‘its equivalent. And this is the attitude of bimetallists generally in Great Britain and Continental Europe, to all of which I remark: When the two metals haye unlimited free coinage at fixed ratios and are legal tender the cheaper will under all possible circum- stances drive the dearer out of circulation. “There can be no such thing as a double standard. We must have either gold or silver alone as our standard, Government cannot create values. The current value of moneys is determined independently of the decrees of kings, legisiative enact- ment, or Government fiat. “In the matter of values commercial convenience rules. These things are not determined by kings, governments, con- gresses, or conventions, but by the silent and unseen but invincible forces of uni- versal self-interest. All reasoning which assumes thut in the exchange of moneys any principl f “individ e can be substituted for that o 1 self-interest must be futile d is not a question of politics or | sentiment, but of science and ethics and of | superlative importance. To deal with it on any other basis is erroneous. Money is constantly rebellious to the mandates cf Government. It comes without being called and goes without being arrested— is deaf to advances ana insensible to threats.” AN AGED MOTHER. Withjan Invalid Daughter She Is Ejected ¥rom the House of Her Son. OAKLAND, Car., Sept, 10.—The aged mother and invalid sister of Wickliffe Matthews were ejected from the premises | 813 Madison street to-day by Deputy Sher- | iff Al White: The place was formerly | | Matthews’, but it now stands in the name | of Mrs. Rose Matthews, his wife. The ejected women, however, say that it 1s still his, and that her name is used only for the | purpose of the suit. JOHN J. VALENTINE, Who Declares That Governments and Conventions Cannot Create Values, for intellectual discussion and is the lead- ing ladies’ club in Oaklana. The speaker opened his address by quot- ing from Hood’s apostrophe to “'Gold.” 0 SURPRISE N STORE “Of all things in the world money, | which can least bear tampering with on anything but scientific treatment,” said Mr. Valentine, “is being made in this country the bone of noisy contention, in- stigated by the influence of mining inter- ests, which ardently desire to raise the vrice of silver, and the adherentsof a soft-money heresy, who hope to create abundant money out of metal of some kind if they cannot have inconvertible vaper. The natural law of money is, in general, the law of civilization—begin- ning, it may be, with the barter of a horse for a cow or a goat for a dog. Then came pebbles, then iron, then copper and bress, then silver, and finally gold and obligations expressed in paper, showing throughout the law of displacement of the inferior by the superior.” After reviewing the historical evolution of money the speaker proceeded : “If the coinage of a country consists only of a single metal, as in the early coinage of England, and chipped, graded and debased coins be allowed to pass current with good coin all the good coin will disappear from circulation. It is either hoarded, melted down or exported. All laws are ineffectual to prevent this; the chipped, degradea and debased;coin will alone remain current. ““If coins of two kinds of metals, such as gold and silver, are allowed to pass cur- rent together in unlimited quantiiies and if a legal ratio is ntlemgwd to be enforced between them which differs from their rel- ative value in the markets of the world the coin which is underrated disappears from circulation. It is either hoarded, melted down or exvorted, and that which is overrated alone remains current. The law holds good also in regard to bank note circulation. “This law is not confined to single and separate countries; it is not limited in time or space—it is absolutely univer- sal. The Uresme-Gresham law was ex- ounded to the Government of Great ritain by Locke, Newton and other eminent men of the times; but a knowl- edge of its workings did not reveal to them a remedy for continually existing and recurring evils of coinage. A solution | was found by 8ir William Petty in 1691— to make one metal the standard money and the other subsidiary to it; that so much subsidiary coin as could be keptin free circulation, 'redeemable on or ex- changeable with the standard metal coins, was not only the best, but the oniy method practicable for using both; that there could, of course, bs no such thing as a double standard, and the greatest stability of money was to be at- tained by using one metal as a standard. This theory was elaborated later by Adam Smith. It was the unbroken expe- rience of centuries when Locke. took up the question in Engiand, as it has bez_n the experience ever since, that immedi- ately side by side with the legal ratio there is a market ratio, and there is no aiscernible tendency for the former to govern the Jatter. “The laws that finally govern finance are not made in conventionsor congresses, The foundation of the international bi- metallic theory—a purely emperical prop- osirton—is thus erroneous from the begin- ning, "ft is not claimed by any prominent ad- vocates of bimetallism that the unre- stricted coinage of silver by any one gov- ernment, even maintaining a gold stand- ard, couid be otherwise than disastrous. On the contrary, they declare in print that it would be calamitous and that they | Alameda Electric-Light Plant Will Lower the Tax Levy. It Will Produce an Income to the City and There Will Be No Ex- pense for Street Lights. ALAMEDA, CaL., Sept. 10.—The tax levy of this city will probably be made at the first meeting of the Board of Trustees in October, but the members are alreaay figuring on the proposition, and they have a surprisein store for the tax-payer that wili be pleasing, without doubt. Last year the tax rate was $1 24 on each $100 valuation. the board expect to come within a dollar {limit. Many of the estimates of the vari- | ous departments are already in, and the rest have made an approximation that | will do 1o make an estimate with, and it is | found that, with the $12,000 that the elec- : tric plant is expected to bring into the city treasury, the city can get along very nicely on a dollar levy. This will be the first experience the municipality has had in municipal own- ership reducing taxes, and it is expected that the lesson will be so pleasant as to make many of the property-owners wish | that many more of the city’s needs could | be supplied from municipal plants. The Horsemen’s Meet. ALAMEDA, CaAL., Sept. 10.—Entries are being made daily for the races which will be held on Saturday, September 26, and the indications are good for a suc- cessful meet. Dave Martin, who drives one of the fast- est horses in town and takes a great inter- est in sporting events, said tosday: *‘We have a fine track and everything in first- class order on it. We have already enough material entered to make it one of the best meets ever held on this side of the bay. The track is simply superb.” An Evening of Song. ALAMEDA, CaL., Sept. 10.—The King s Daughters of the First Congregational Church were greeted with a large audience to-night on their preseniation of an “‘Evening of 0ld Song.” The programme as published in yesterday’s CaLL was car- ried out much to the gratification of the audience. Electric-Car Accidents. ALAMEDA, CaAv., Sept. 10.—Car 3 of the Alameda electric line broke down on San Jose avenue and Paru street to-night at 8 o’clock. Passengers were delayed for fifteen minutes, after which the disabled Car was run into the power-house. At 9 o'clock another car of the same line broke an axle on High street. No one was hurt, but traffic was interrupted for some time. S S ! Badly Injured. OAKLAND, CAr., Sept. 10.--Will Thorne, & high-school bov residing at 575 Hobart street, attempted to make a dive from the second gailery at the Piedmont baths yes- terday afternoon, and in doing so struock the bottom with such force as to injure himself severely. He came up and out of the tank. but soon complained of pains in the head. A physician was summoned, and later he was taken home. To-day he was resting easily, and as he is young and | strong the physician believes he may over- come the symptoms of concussion of the brain, yet he is not out of danger, This year the members of | CHARLES JOHNSON (Halstrom), Brother the Disappearance of His Little Son. (005 4RE CEASURED Berkeley Young Women Lec- tured for Participating in a Rush. Rev. Dr. Payne, Pastor of the Uni- tarian Society, Presents His Resignation. BERKELEY, CaL., SBept. 10.—The co-eds at the State University were chastised by the faculty to day for participating in the “rush” of last Monday. President Kellogg called them together at the noon hour and, in company with Professors String- ham and Soule, administered a consider- able amount of sound advice to the young women, cautioning them against the repetition of such unladylike conduct as some of them had been guilty of. The president expressed the displeasure of the faculty at the co-eds taking part in the rough contests of the men students, de- claring that he had been deeply grieved to hear of it. Professor Soule, who saw Monday's rush, expressed the opinion that such contests were not for lady students, and declared that no good would come to the aniversity by their pmicipazin!; in class- fights. Professor Stringham called atten- tion to the publishea reports of the recent Stanford rush, in which it was stated that the Palo Alto ladies did not take part, as in Berkeley, and said that the State Uui- versity would be injured by a repetition ot Monday's scenes and that compsrisons with Stanford, to the detriment of Berke- ley, were being made. The co-eds are much wrought up over the lectures given to them by the pro- fessors, as they say a reflection is cast on the whole body of women students, while only abouta dozen out of the entire 400 at Berkeley took part in the rush. Small in- dignation meetings were held all after- noon among the young women. Rev. Dr. Payne Resigns. BERKELEY, CAL., Bept. 10.—Rev. Ed- ward B. Payne, pastor of the Unitarian Society of Berkeley, has tendered his r-signation to the board of trustees. No action has vet been taken on his resizna- tion, and consequently the date of his leaying remains uncertain, He states that his work in the pulpit here will close with the present year at least. Dr. Payne has been pastor of the church continuously since its foundation Rev. E. B. Payne of Bumy. in 1891, He was president of the Altruria Colony Association while it lasted, and editor of ¢he Altruria during its lifetime. The Unitarian Society has a membership of about one hunared at the present time, inciuding a large number of professors and their families, and is in a flourishing condition. They have been holding their meetings at Stites’ Hall for the past two years and were about to erect a building of their own. No reason is given for the resicnation ot Dr. Payne, nor has his future field of labor been made known. Visited the University. BERKELEY, CaL., Sept. 10.—The State University was visited to-day by the Na- itonal Purk Commission, which “has been visiting the Western States recently with the view to recommending to Congress means for more carefully preserving the National parks of the country. The commission consists of Professor C. 8. Sargent, director of the Arnold arbore- tum of Harvard; Professor William H. Brewer, head of the department of agri- culture at Yale; Gifford Pinchot, forester of Vanderbilt's Baltimore estate, and Dr. Arnold Hague, another distinguished forester. 5 The commission was taken over the grounds by Professors Hilgard and Bitchell, and this evening they were enter- tained at dinner by several of the faculty, They expressed themselves as being much pleased with the condition of affairsat the univenhfi. Professor Brewer was vparticularly in- terested in the growth of the university, since he delivered an address to the first graduating class of the institution. Ruskin Club Meet. BERKELEY, CaL., S8ept. 10.—The Rus- kin Club held one of the most interesting of its course of meetings at the home of Mrs. Chick on Durant avenue last even- ing. Charles Keeler, the leader, an- 1 | lowing new officers; | old Stanford players. nounced that he would leave for the East in a few days to be gone for two months, and, accordinzly, Rev. E. B. Payne was asked to serve in his stead. Boating Association Election, BERKELEY, CAL., Sept. 10,—Th¢ annu- al election of officers of the U. C. Boating Association will take place next Satarday afternoon at the club headquarters. Five directors besides a new set of officers will be chosen. The directors are to be one from the alumni, one from the faculty, one from the affiliated colleges and two from the undergraduates at Berkeley. Getting Ready to Play. BERKELEY, CAL., Sept. 10.—Captain Ransore of the U. C. football team has issued a builetin calling all men who ex- pect to play football this season to be on the grounds in their suits at 4 o’clock next Monday. The first match game of the season 1s to be played by Berkeley against the Reliance Club on October 3. Graduate Club Officers. BERKELEY, CAL., Sept. 10,—The Uni- versity Graduate Club has elected the fol- President, E. N. Prouty; vice-president, Miss 8. N. Lins- cott; secretary and treasurer, Miss Marian Delaney; executive committee—E. Ly- man }{ood, Theodore de Laguna, Miss E. R. Farnham and Miss E. C. Chapman, SHEEHAN WILL MANAGE, The Ex-Stanford Man to Run the Olympic Club Eleven. He Will Enlist the Services of Sev- eral of the Best Play- ers Here. Jack Sheehan, ex-captain of {he Stan- ford baseball team, is to manage the Olym- vic football eleven this season. That in itself almost assuresthe local men the gridiron supremacy of the athletic clubs of the West, for Sheehan is the intimate friend of most of the players that until now have been conceded to be Reliance material. He was the boon companion at college of ex-Football Captain Downing and of Quarterback Harrelson, and they all with Weldon, the new Olympic fullback, be- longed to the same Greek-letter fraternity. Something of the significance of this move on the part of the Olympic Club may be seen when it is asserted that there 1s a possibility that even Walton, the cap- tain-elect of the Reliance team, may be drawn over by the new manager, for Wal- ton himself captained the Stanford nine one season and another played under Sheehan’s captaincy when the baseball men made a victorious tour of the North- west in 1804. Unusually enthusiastic and of a mag- netic temperament Sheehan was, aside from his prominence as a baseball-player, one of the most popular collegians during his four years at Palo Alto. Last season after graduation he captained the Olym- pic baseball team for ashort time, then gave up athletics and devoted himselt en- tirely to preparing for the Supreme Court examination, which he recently passed, ln’il was ldmé}ted to the bar. 'he new Olympic manager is a son of General John F. Skeehan of this City. Leonard Gill, a former director of the Olympic Club, in resigning last night from the management of the team, did so fully acquiescing in the change which he himself had helped to plan. For some little time the plan was afloat, Sheehan meanwhile quietty working among the _The result is Har- relson, who played with Reliance last year, will be with the Olympics this sea- son, and Downing, another Reliance standby. will wear an Olympic snit if an injured hand does not prevent him from playing at all. ‘The Olympics, with the material in sight, should ‘have the best team they have ever had,” said Sheehan last nigit., I like football too well to keep out of it, and this iposmon. with the season’s games allin this City, will require little more time than [ would naturally spend talking uve; the prospects with {emwa at the ciub. *‘There are several things I want to see accomplished. I want to see the team more like a college eleven, with 1ts intense loyalty and with no suspicion of question- able tactics unbecoming amateurs, I want to see the Multnomahs of Portland and the Butte team come down here and meet the Olympics, for we should be in a posi- tion this year where other teams must come to us. If possible we may make a soutbern trip about Christmas time, but outside of that we will be satisfied with a rattiing good season right here, as the schedule aiready arranged with the two universitics and Reliance insures a game every Saturday from October 3 on.” 7 ————— Dick Williams’ Case Postponed. Dick Williams was not sentenced Yesterday as was generally expected. His new attorney, George D. Collins, set up the claim that the evidence in the recent trial had not been transcribed, consequently he was not in a po- sition to make an intelligent plea for a new trial. On this ground he asked for a continu- ance until to-day, which was granted. After court adjourned Collins sought Judge Morrow in chambers and made an ineffectual effort to secure the release of his clienton bail. He offéred to put up a bond of from $20,000 to $25,000, but his Honor declined to eniertain the proposition. ————— On the tower of the parish church of Bicknoller, Somerset, is growing a yew tree, now five feet high.

LOST ON THE RIVER. | Little Arthur Left Oakland in a Boat With His Father Many Weeks Ago. NOW HE CANNOT BE FOUND. His Father His Giv:n Many Eaplana- tions, All of Which Have Been Proved to Be False. OAKLAND OrrFIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 10. Henry Johnson has called the attention of the police and the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children to the peculiar circumstances attending the dis- appearance of his nephew, Arthur Hal- strom, a 9-year-old boy. Charles Halstrom, the father of the boy, or really Charles Johnson, is & brother of the man who is anxious to regain his nephew. The story told by Henry Johnson is re- markable in many of its leading features. Hesays: “Charles and I were separated in Sweden and met in an Oakland saloon about two years ago, after being apurt for twenty-two vears, Some time ago he married a young widow and she is the mother of the little boy who is missing. His mother is now dead. After her death my brother went East. “Then he went to Denver and later came to Oakland and it was here I met him. “*Several times in my presence Charles was very cruel to the boy, and once he was arrested, but tha boy was so fright- ened he did not stick to his story and his father was not convicted. Several weeks later Mrs. Prescott met mny brother and told him to send Arthur up to her office, as she wanted to talk with him. He did not come, and ngon further inquiry she found that he had been missing some time, **A search was made, and it was discov- ered that Halstrom had bought a boat with a cabin from Mayor Davie for $10, in which he proposed to live at the foot of Broadway to save rent. He took the boy aboard and left for Stockton, intending to buy up old junk on his way. “Nothing could be done until the return trip, when Mrs. Prescott casualiy met Mr. Halstrom on the street, though he tried to avoid her. She took him to account foi his broken promises and taking the bo; away without notifying the society. He gaveseveral excuses. Then Mrs. Prescott asked where the boy was, when she was told he had run away. ‘‘Halstrom said the boy had been gone a week, and he had reported the matter to the police, but inquiries show he had notdone so. Soon aiter he rushed into the office of the society and totd Mrs. Prescott the boy had been found and was stopping with an aunt in East Oakland. Ts. Prescott went to the place, only to find that there was nothing known of the child. In fact, the child has no auntin this country. *I believe the boy is dead and that he came to his death between here and Btockten. ‘Whether he was frightened to death or fell overboard I don't know. I believe my brother is picking hops in Yolo County now, and I am very anxious that he be required to produce that little - *‘Mrs. Prescott shares my belief that the child is not alive, and when his father comes within her jurisdiction she will take steps to at once make him account for that child.” Impressive Funeral Services. OAKLAND, Can., Sept. 10.—A large number of his late associates, as well as friends of the family, gathered at the J. C. Wilson residence, 563 Hobart street, this afternoon, to pay their token of re- spect to the memory of their son, Hugh, who was drowned ‘in the San Joaquin River, this side of Stockton, Monday aiter- noon, while in bathing.

Dr. Wendte conducted the ser- vices, during which Messrs. Ben Clark, Harry Richards, George Carlton and D. P. Hughes sung *‘Consolation” and “Thy Will Be Done.” The Odd Fellows fol- lowed with their ritualistic service, in which George C. Kaufman acted as noble grand and A. D. Smith chaplain. The pall-bearers wera Messrs. J. D. Cook, F. Campbell and J, Cal Ewing from the Native Sonsand Messrs. E. S. Finch, G. W. Buttner and D. A. Sinclair from 'the 0dd Fellows. The remains were taken to San Francisco on the 3 o'clock boat and cremated at Odd Fellows’ Cemetery. The Modern Trojans, OAKLAND, CaL, Sept. 10.—Dr. B. A, Rabe, who isone of the charter members of the new Supreme Lodge of the Order of Madern Trojans, mentioned in to-day’s CaLy, has thisto say regarding the new order: “The idea that the new orderis to bea olitical organization seems to be current. Ywisn to state that 1t has nothing in com- mon with the A. P. A, or lodges of like character. It is purely a beneficial order. It will be on the plans of the Woodmen, Workmen and such orders, only that we will have the benefit of their experi- ence and will take the cream of each. There is $1,300,000 sent East from Califor- nia every year, $900,000 from Oregon and $800,000 from Washington. We wish to keep this money at home.” ¥uneral of John H. O'Brien.

OAKLAND, Car., Sept. 10.—The Super- visors are figuring on a county tax rate which they will have to consider in a few days. The rate last year was 50 cents, which, with a State rate of 68 cents, made $1 18 inside corporated cities, and with the 85 cents for road purposes made $153 in the outside distriet. It is expected that the rate this year will be slightly higher for county pur- poses, as the election alane wiil be $40,000 additional expense, besides what may be required for a new bridge over the tidal canal in case the War Department orders the present structure removed.

General Booth Brought Samples of Army Work From Every Quarter of the Globs. Chinatown has been without its War Ory for nearly two months, but this week there will be a gala number to celebrate the return of Ye Ying, the enterprising editor. Mongolian curiosity is stirred up to a high pitch to hear the wonderful adventures that befell Ye Ying in Darkest London. The editor set out for the British capital on August 18 to take part in the great Sal- vation Army International Exposition, and he has just returned. The sights he saw there were probably unique in the religious history of the world. In the vast Agricultural Hall at Islington General Booth and his soldiers had arranged an exposition of the army’s work in every hemisphere and brought natives from every country where they have planted their standard to testify. There was an Indian viilage, the swarthy white-robed natives of which wore the badge of the army; the same badge was worn in a Zulu kraal, which was presided over by a genuine chief. There were also a Scandinavian peasant village, a settlement of Lapland huts, Dutch, Italian and other Continental cot- la%ea, settlements of Dutch Boers, of Cin- galese, Japanese, Malayans and half a dozen other lands where the Salvation Army has taken a foothold. But Ye Ying says this was only a small part of the vast exhibition. Army work of every kind was shown—rescue nomes, receiving homes, hospitals, laundries, shelters, factories, Misery row in Darkest London, and slum work in many of the world’s big ciues, while the night sheiter was kept supplied with London tramps during l']’u: ten days that the exhibition re- mained open. Ye Yingsays that every day he sat down to table with men of seventeen different nationalities and races, and that the ser- vices of interpreters were greal‘lly in de- mand. *‘There were editors of War Cries in thirteen different langnages,”” he said. “All of them testified, but many of them bad to use interpreters. Yes; I was able to speak in English. “There was an average of 10,000 people a day who visited the exhibition and many conversions were made. General Booth is very anxious to begin work in China, and to raise funds he has started a tea leagua in London. ‘‘All the peovle who join the league pledge themselyes to buy their tea from the army and the profits are to be devoted to starting army work in China.” Commander Booth-Tucksr informed Ye Ying when he passed through New York that it was his intention to establish a Salvation Army Chinese training home, for the purpose of equipping soldiers to undertake army work in China. The loca- tion of this home is not yet decided upon, but protably it will be in San Francisco. Next Tuesday there will be a welcome meeting in Congress Hall to fete the re- turn of Ye Ying to his editorial duties. Several billiard tables have just been dispatched to Buluwayo.
