OAELAND OFFICE S, A ‘ 908 Broadway, N They were two young men,and they were attending a cburch fair. One of them said to .the other, with & mocking laugh on his lips: *“Come, Jack, let's eat some peanuts for Jesus Christ’s sake.” Some of the Christians who card them were fearfully shocked, while - others laughed uneasily at the coarse and . blasphemous witticism. Yet shocking as it was the remark was exceedingly suggestive, The church was selling peanuts for Jesus Thrist's sa If not so, then why was the house of prayer made a place of merchandise, . and,why were the irreligious asked tocome might help a good cauge? Over that R stand was written in letfers which all mycat read who had understanding: “This rch stands for the gospel of Christ. The embers of it are not willing to give enough .. money to support it. figure to people who care nothing about re- ligion, in order to get the money which we © get after the apostolic way. help us out by patronizing our booth some peanuts for Jesus’ sake.” - members didn’t see the writing, but the yowng men did and acted upon it. They si . translated what the members of the church expressed in *a m uch more volite and intentionally ambig- uous way. They repeated the catechism which ihe church taught them, only they put the | ing of their teachers into words of their own. And the church got their nickels and lost tneir respect. vy paid liberally for * their peanuts, but they threw in with the * Yrice their contempt and scorn for a religion which needed that kind of support.

The editors proceed to say that they are ihoroughly persuaded that the churches have lost a large part of their efficiency by fawning and catering to an unbelieving .world in order to get money for the Lord. ‘Church said to-day that & majority of ministers indorse the sentiments con- tained in the editorial which has caused so much comment. *‘Not longago,” he said, “Rev. Mr. Hobart said nearly the same thing from the pulpit, while Rev. Mr. Whittaker has corsistently opposed - such affairs. The trouble is thar, al. though the ministers as individuals are opposed to raising money by such catch- penny schemes, they arein the power of the church-members and cannot do as they please. In no churchin this city does the pastor control the social side of it. That is taken out of hishandsen- * tirély, and any attempt on his part to in- terfere would soon be followed by a change of pastor. Unfortunately, we * have had several instances of this within the past few vears, and there is one church of the Baptist denomination to- . day which would be split in two it it were not for the forbearance shown by its pastor. # “fUnder these circumstances the official * denunciation of church fairs is likely to cause some trouble and will certainly bring out much opposition. It is not pleasant to admit that we cannot sustain our churches without resorting to such worldly means, but a refusal to admit it - qloes not alter the facts. A few months <0 one of our Baptist churches needed a W carpet and a series of entertainments “an\! socials and a system of begging were sracticed in oraer to adorn the sanctuary. . There is no doubt that the practice of giv- .. ingfairs is derogatorv to the dignity of the church, but if they are to be discarded, ¢he individual members must make up their minds to contribute directly to its _support, instead of filching indirectly from 's pockets.

Among those who chesrfully consented to help was Harry Melvin. Aftergiving his consent Mr. Melvin learned | that Rev. J. W.

Ellis un- dertook to espouse the cause of an old man arrested for felony. Ycung children were involved in the case, and Mr. Melvin prosecuted with the vigor that he deemed the circumstances demanded. Rev. J. W. Ellis sent some communications to the lo- cal papers, in which he made some very severe remarks regarding the case.

Agricultural College Declared Useless by Southern Cal- ifornia Press. Professor Hilgard Says That the Accusations Are a Lot of C:n- scienceless Falsehoods BERKELEY, Car., Nov. 20.—The pro- essors at the State University, especially hose in the agricultural department, are | higuly incensed at an editorial which ap- peared in a recent issue of the Los An- | geles Herald, and which they say has put public. The article referred to attempts {o estab. i lish the proposition that the university is of no benefit to the people of Southern California, and furthter that the depart- ment of agriculture in particular is s use- | less institution and productive of harm | rather than good. | Professor E. W. Hilgard, bead of the | department of agriculture, says the arci- over the back of the agricultural depari- ment, “The whole thing,”” said he to-day, “isa conscienceless misreoresentation from be- g(nning to end. Falsehood after false- ood is printed in it.” The editorial which has caused all this stir and which has urged the faculty to rise in defense of the university is in part as follows: g This university is now in competition with all the institutions for higher learning in Southern Caiifornia. All our institutions are supported by private donations and by stu- dents’ dues, while the university receives the public money and the public taxes from South- ern as well as from Northern California. The benefit to Southern California is littie, if any. reater in the existence of the Berkeley an Harverd, Cornell, Princeton or any other American college or university. We might say, indeed, that Stanford, supported from do- | nations, is of quite as much service to the community as the Berkeley University, sup- ported by taxes or State bonds. We say this with the greatest respect for the university in | the north. What we call attention to is that this costly institution is too far away to be in any irue sense a part of our life in Southern Californis. Soutuern California nas colieges ceive the support of any public taxes in this section for such purposes. | The next Legisiature will be asked to appro- riate atleast half a million for grand new Putiaings at Berkeley, and to reappropriata $300,000 for the new Affiliated Co'leges at San Francisco. This means, in &li, nearly $1,000,000. Doubtless this will be merely a preliminary appropriation, to be followed by others, to complete ana then to carry on the proposed splendid buildings and establish- ment. The question has been asked our farmers, vitieulturists and forestry men whet they have gained from this distant northern uni- versity’s Airleultunl College annex. This | college is the onlyone baving direct dealings | with Southern California. The answers are | not in a single case favorable 10 the utility of | the coliege. Richard Gird says that they ad- vised him that he couldnot grow sugar beets Think of what would have resulted at Chino, lowed such advice. E. C. Bichowski of the great Sunny Slope ‘winery and estate says that the college intro- duced vines from infected distriots in France, and has thus caused the destruction of miliions of dollars of property in the raisin marketand wine-grape vineyards. These gentlemen in Berkeley have quarrels from Santa Barvara to San Diego and with men like Gira, Ellwood Cooper, Bichowski, etc. The agricultural college is apparently worse than useless and does damage where it might do good. It has our forestry interests in charge, yet not a word on forest fires has escaped any of its officers. Their whole inter- est seems to be centered in keeping our citi- zens in Southern California from any ad. vantage in our forest station. In view of this condition we would suggest that before our legislative representatives from Southern California consent to the large appropriations to be asked for in the interesi oi Berkeley they secure local coutrol for our local indus- trial scientific work. In all probability we can obtain also our share of the large Federal appropriation which now goes to the Berkeley College of Agriculture. The fantastic agricultural col- lege, with its sel se men, political lobby- ists, large salaries and one and a half gradu- ates, is & mountain in labor that brings forth & mouse. Southern California should be freea from this remote college cont nd mistakes in our local industries. What we wantisa local comtrol in our scientific agricultural work, This should be practical with local men to whom farmers and fruit men can go direct with their questions. Berkeley is too far off to be usefuito us. Our farmers’ insti- tutes, agricultural, chznhlr{. entomology, and all our scientific work in agrioulture, should be done here, with a local headquarters Y"’"""‘go"‘ a central location, easy of access 0 &1l of Southern California and easy equal.y for the scientific man to visit the point of in. terest; our soils, crops and climate are pe- cullar to this seotion, and our taxes should go not oo far up and to hostile northern men, 'but to our own scientists for our own work. In reply Professor Hugard says that he ON BERKELEY the university in a false light before tne | cle is meant to lash the whole university | gnu Franecisco colleges than in those of Yale, | and universities of its own. These should re. | in the loss to the community had Mr. Gira fol- | wrote to the gentleman who wished to plant beets, not to plant his beets in the alkali lands of the creek. Continuing Professor Hilgard said: | “About ten years ago we haa a quantity | of phylloxera on the grounds, which we !‘ kept in order to test the babits of the in- | sect, During the entire time the insect was on the experimental grounds we did not ship a single cutting into the country, “Fuarthermore, after we accepted the | Viticultural Commission, we found phyl- loxera in the vineyard of the commission’s former chief executive.” May Change the Name, | * BERKELEY, CaL., Nov. 20.—The ques- | tion of changing the name of the post- | office and railroad station from Lorin to | South Berkeley is being agitated.

ALAMEDA, Carn., Nov. 20.—Professor Alpert Koebele, under whose direction the State Board of Horticulture four years ago introduced the Verdalia cardinalis and Rhizobius ventralis into this State and which have been such a godsend to California, returned yesterday from Hono- lulu. He left his home, 1226 Regent street, last April, and has been on the | islands ever since.

He saited from here March 11 and | was gone eight months and seven days. The homeward journey was begun from the Okhotsk Sea on October 13 and was a very stormy one all the way. “‘Siberia is the worst, bleakest and most barren country in_the world,” said Mr. Jenks to-day. “There is little or no veg- etation, while the mountains and ravines are constantly covered with snow. It is inhabited by a tribe who seem to wander ifrom place to place and who for a liv- |ing depend upon hunting and fishing. | They are a fiithy set.

He arose and’| informed the chairman that he had not fulfilled bis duty in sending out the neces- sary notices to members, as required by the constitution. President Walsh thought that the point was a good one. As an additional surprise, an enormous attendance of members from West Oak- land flocked into the hall. Nobody knew or would admit that they were aware of the candidate whom they undoubtealy came to support. It was an enigma, and President Walsh was unable to solve it. 8o, with his well-known legal acumen, he nickly decided that a little continuance or a week or so to enable the managers to discover just how they stood would be very adyisable. In the face of Mr. Powers’ admission it would be clearly illegal to proceed with the election, so Mr. Walsh declared an adjournment till the first Friday 1n next month. The secret of the West Oakland con- tingent has not yet been solved, but it is reported that the friends of Mr. Walsh, who are anxious to see him continue in his present position, planned a little coup. They decided to take advantage of the breach between the Stetson and Pulcifer wings and to put in their man as a com- BY STUDENTS University of California Boys Take to the Stage. They Will Appear in “In Ko- kopo” on Thanksgiving Evening. A Satirical Burlesque by D: Witt H. Gray on Woman’s Rights and Other Things. As a fitting finale to the interuniversity conflict on Thanksgiving day the students of the University of California have deter- mined to produce a burlesque extrava- ganza. The show will be given at night in the Auditorium, on Eddy street, it is confidently believed before a crowded house. It will be the first attempt of the Berkeley boys in this direction and conse- quently they are putting forth their best efforts to make it a grand success. The extravaganza is entitled “In Kokopo'—a vurely fanciful n for a mythical isle whither some maidens be- take themselves to be far away from man and to run a government of their 6wn. It is written by De Witt H. Gray, editor-in- chief of Josh, the interuniversity paper. There are three alleged acts in the piece, which will be presented by students in the following cast: Queen Yoyo, Joe Rosborough; Swatem, Lord of the Siipper, Fletcher McNutt; Cinchem, Lord of the Cinch, Walter A. Starr; Rabbs, Lord of the Leisure Hour, Dudley Deane; Gyp, the court Jester, William Smith’; Ucie, secretary to the Queen, H. B.Quinan: Leonora, daughter of the Queen, Henry Briz. ard; Gertrude, daughter of the Queen, Ned Bleke; Dix, daughter of the Queen, Ben Bake- well; Troubadour, Otto Wedemeyer; the Legit, Sterling Carr; the castaway comedi- ans, Alexander Rosborough and George Kop- pitz. Choruses of suffragists, boarding-school xl:xn, football men, troubadours and come- ns. The main idea in the burlesque is to satirize women’srights. There is a Goy- ernment by women alone; also & plot. Queen Yoyo has gathered about her all the discontented female spirits she can find and they all take themselves to the island of Kokopo. By way of variety three men are allowed to accompany the Queen—Gyp, the court jester; Swatem, a tramp, and Cinchem. While the Govern- ment is enjoying a girls’ seminary state of peace a ship loaded below the Plimsoll with college. football men is wrecked on the island. The end comes with the downfall of Yoyo's Government and a retrogression to conventional forms of so- ciety. The profits of the entertainment will go to the general athletic fund of the State University. WAS LOCKED OUT. Young Men Republicans Do Some Old- Time Politics—Pulcifer Was Surprised. OAKLAND, CaL, Nov. 20.—There was to have been an election of officers of the Young Men's Republican League last night, but there was not. There was, however, a good desl of excitement before the adjournment. The trouble arose over the fight for the presidency. The candidates are J. W Stetson and Harry Pulcifer, and each has a large following, and each side is claim- ing that the otber side is responsible for last night’s unpleasantness. The meeting was duly called to order when it was discovered that the hall was packed with Pulcifer’s friends. President Phil Walsh was in the chair and an- nounceu the object of the meeting. There was general surprise at the personnel of the attendants, and some of the amateur political managers decided that something ‘must be done if Mr. Pulcifer were not to have a walkover. His friends had locked the door, it is said, with the intention of keeping out Stetson’s supporters. Stetson's friends, however, were not to be qutdone, so they hunted up Constable Cronin, who has the keys of Justice Clift’s courtraom, where the meeting was being held. Cronin ovened the door and in rushed the Stetson wingat the ratio of about 16 to 1 compared to Mr. Pulcifer's followers. This changed the entire aspect of affairs, and stratezy had again to be re- sorted to. But it was torthcoming. ‘Will D, Powers, secretary of the league and also a candidate for Councilman, is an araent supporter of Mr. Pulcifer, and Mr. Stetson’s friends say tbat Powers real- ‘izes that in a fight for office he would lose promise candiaate, with some hope of suc- cess. Whether this is the programme or not will be developed at the next meeting. ————————— WANTED FOR BURGLARY. The Monterey Sheriff Claims Hawley for Crime Committed There. OAKLAND, CaL, Nov. 20.—William Hawley, one of the two desperadoes ar- rested on the ferry-boat iast week by Dep- uty Sheriff Kellner after they had once escaped from him, was turned over to the Sheriff of Monterey County to-day to be taken there and held for a burglary com- mitted three months ago with an accom- plice, who pleaded guilty and was given three years in San Quentin., The Monte- rey officer believes he has a strong case, and that his man will get a heavier sen- tence than the other. The Sheriff says Hawley’s true name is Arthur Jack and that he is a half-brother of James Carlin, alias Kelly, with whom he was arrested at the mole. When the cases came up in the Police Court to-day their attorney made a lengthy argument against the legality of the action of the police department in turning one of the men over to the Monterey authorities be- fore their cases were settled here, and claimed he desired to call Hawley to show that Carlin, alias Kelly, had'nothing to do with stealing the coat. The cases were continued. - They Will Exhibit.

League Headquarters. OAKLAND, Car, Nov. 20.—The Army and Navy Republican League held a largely attended meeting last evening and decided by a big vote to retain their pres- ent headquarters for the winter so that any of their 700 members might have a place to meet together whenever they see fit. This action was taken against the report of the camp council which desired to take smaller quarters and several of them pre- sented their resignations, but they were not accepted as the council had not ren. dered an accounting of the funds received and disbursed during the recent campaign. Not s Candidate. OAKLAND, Can, Nov. 20.—John A. Britton, president of the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company, has furnished the following for publication: Please announce that I am nota candidate for the position of Mayor of this city. I am not unmindfal of the great honor that such a position confers, nor ungrateful for the kind intentions of my friends, but at this time can- not permit my name to be used. Yours very traly, JOHN A. BRITTON. —————— “On Land or Sea.” It is becoming so common to write (with or without quotation marks) “the light that never was on land or sea,” that it seems well to call attention to the fact. One of the most recent examples of the risky haphazard reference is in Professor. Saintsbury’s “Nineteenth Century Litera- ture,’”’ page 81. Speaking of Byron, Mr, Saintsbury says: ‘‘The light is not that which never was on land or sea; it is that which is habitnally just in front of the stage.” This formidable antithesis need not, meanwhile, be discussed for the theory it embodies, but it may be permis- sible to draw attention to the Wordsworth reference. Professor Saintsbury, it is true, does not rofess to quote, but the allusion no doubt fa to the great line in the “Elegiac Stanzas Suggested by a Picture.”” “Land or sea’’ sounds more open, buoyant and free than “sea or land,” but it labors under the dxndvm!afe of not being what the poet wrote. 'hisis the quatrain (it is the fourth in a poem of fifteen such stanzas): Ah! Then, if mine had veen the Painter’s hand, To express what then T saw: and add the gleam, The light that never was. on sea or land, ‘The congecration, and the Poet’s drearm.

IROQUOIS BRAVES WIELD TOMAHAWKS They Fall on the Heads of Certain Alleged “Renegades.” Monday...... Z ARTS B- About a Dozen Men Requested to Resign From the Organization. Charges Mads Against Isador: Jacobs for Voting the McKinley Ticket. Bitter speeches and denunciations disturbed the political powwow of the Iroquois braves around their fire in Pythian Castle last night. Several members were virtually read out of the Democratic party by the club while assembled round that campfire. and condemned as traitors and renegades because they did not vote for Bryan and 50-cent dollars. It was the most exciting time ever witnessed in the history of the club, g0 the members admit. Hardly had the meeting been called to order and the roll been called when Secre- tary D. J. Gordon read a resolution charg- ing Isadore Jacobs with voting for the Re- publican electors on the 3d of November, 1896, and openly repudiating the Demo- cratic party on November 10. He moved lha;n:’: immediate hearing of the charges ad. ‘The matter was referred to a committee composed of Judge Lemon (chairman), James J. Flynn, Max Popper, P. M. Wel- lin, Professor S8immons. The committee will meet to hear charges next Tuesday evenini at Judge Lemon’s office in the Marye law buildine. There arose another brave, Raymond Robins, and flung a keener tomahawk than his predecessor. The way his verbal weapon whistled through the air caused consternation unbounded among the forces at which it was directed. Robins’ resolution stated that the Iro- quois Club was an organization engaszed in the dissemination of Democratic princi- ples and the welfare of the Democratic party; that certain members of the club had forfeited their right to membership by openly or covertly opposing the Na- tional platform - as adopte:s by the last legally constituted convention of the Democratic party held at Chicago on the 9th and 10th of ‘last July; and that therefore they ‘were ‘“traitors and rene- gades” from the ranks of Democracy in California, and if permitted to remain in the club would degrade its name and en- danger the success of the party in the future. The resolution ended by calling for the immediate withdrawal of these men from membership and that the club unan- imously accept all their resignations as tendered. Hardly had Robins taken his seat when Attorney George H. Francoeur popped out of his seat with tbe bold assertion that he had voted for Palmer and Buck- ner and would resign if the club wished it. Jeers, hoots and hisses followed. The resolution was given to the proper committee. namely: Max Popper &hnh'- man), James J. Flynn, E. P. E. Troy and G. W. Cabaniss. hey retired for con- sultation and shortly returned with a rec- ommendétion that the resolution be adopted, with a few insignificant correc- tions. : Attorney Charles Wesley Reed opened the debate by declaring that he had voted for Palmer and Buckner, and endeavoring to justify himself in the eyes of hisfellow- members for his action. . Then came pan- demonium. “The Chicago platform was not made up of true Democratic principles,” he shouted, ‘‘ana as a firm believer in the principles of Thomas Jefferson I could not support it.” 3 *Didn’t you say,”’ yelled H.L. Bien- field, *‘not over four weeks ago that, though the principles of tne platform did not meet your approbation, you would support the ticket ?" “That's what!” “You bet he didl” These were the choice English expres- sions, intermixed with groans that came from the sympathetic assemblage. “'Order, gentlemen; order!” howled Chairman Gildea, pounding the desk be- fore him with his gavel till the large por« trait of Andrew Jackson on the wall trem- bled, and that of Thomas Jefferson, rest- ing on the piano, nearly tottered from its position. This scene was only a starter. They followed one another in quick succession for over an hour, Reed trying to explain that under the technical wording of the resdlution he could not be asked to resign. Max Popper followed in a terse speech justifyinz the report of the committee, during which John A. Wall leaned back in his chair and regained his lost wind. At the conclusion of Popper's speech the guestion was put to a vote and the resolu- tion almost unanimodsly adopted. The names of those who come under the censure of the lodge and are requested to resign, as stated privately by Secretary Gordon, are, as far as is now known, Charles Wesley Reed, John C. Heenan, George H. rancceur, lIsadore Jacobs, William D. English, Jobn P, Irish, Henry E. Highton. After the meeting adjourned Sam Bra nhart made a fierce verbal onsiaught on Reed for some of his uttcrances, that seemed likely to end in a personal en- counter and ghost dance, but peaceable braves took Sammy away—perhaps to bed.
