apamTa 4 THE SAN FRANCISCO. CALL, MONDAY, JANfiARY 11, 1897 UTAH'S UNITED STATES SENATOR Lively Contest for the Seat to Be Vacated by Brewn. Gallant Fight of Thatcher, the Ex-Mormon Apostle, Against the Church. The Bitt:r Fecling Engendered May Resu't in the Selection of a Dark Horse. AKE, Uran, Jan. 11.—The Utah ure meets to-morrow, and on Tuesday week will take the first ballot for a United States Senator to succeed Senator Brown. Fifty-eight of the sixty-three members are Democrats, and the three most prominent candidates for the Sena- torial toga—Moses Thatcher, ex-Congress- man Rawlins and Judge Henderson—have opened headquarters at the leading hotels and ure entertaining with some liberality. Thatcher, the recen unfrockea Mor- mon apostle whose ecclesiastical downfall is the consequence of his opvosition to church leaders attempting to control politics, is making his fight as the anti- church candidate and has a strong follow- ing, which has been augmented by the ual withdrawal of Judge Powers from the contest and the issvance of an address by Powers urging his supporters to vote for Thatcher. Rawlins is a leading lawyer, very popu- lar ana did veteran service in obtaining Statehood for Utab. He is considered the strongest in the race. Henderson, although a Gentile, is re- ceiving some support from the Mormon church, but his advocacy of silyer is not strong enough to suit the views of the people here, which will probably prove fatal to his chances. The feeling between the Thatcher and the Rawlins factions is bitter, and if neither has strength enough to be elected Powers may come in as a compromise candicate or it may go to a dark horse, of whom there are several, notably Truman and Harris. e THE IDAHO SENATORSHIP, Dubois Men Fxpeet to Win After the First Few Ballots. BOISE, Inano, Jan. 10.—The first ballot for United States Senator will be taken in the Idaho Legislature on Tuesday, and unless all indications fail, it will result in no choice. A caretul canvass of the members indi- cates that eighteen Democrats will vote for various Populists, sixteen of the twen- ty-three Populists will vote for Claggett, and four for Angell. The iwenty-eight silver Republicans will go solidly ifor Du- bois and the one McKinley Republican will vote for some gold man, but in case his vote is necessary 1o defeat a Populist he will throw it to Dubots. Aifter the first few ballots the Dubois men expect enough Democrats to come over to their side to give their candidate the necessary thirty-six votes. On the second ballot Johnson (D.) expects to re- ceive the full Democratic vote of eighteen and some Populis The Populists have decided not to go into eaucus until after the first ballot is taken, and then their efforts will be directed ‘o finding a candidate who will unite the Democratic and Populist vote.

Houx, the Colusa County rancher who, it will be remembered, was taken toan asylum at Livermore two months ago to be treated for a nervous malady, and who esca ped about two weeks ago, was recaptured at Suisun and taken home, was found dead this afternoon in a slough near his home, a few miles west of Maxwell. He was in Colusa the past week and was detained by the officers until a regular keeper from the Livermore institution was sent for to take care of him. He feared being sent to an asylum and eluded his attendant. He was missing for two days when he returned to the Colusa Hotel at night for something to eat and was captured. His hair and coat were covered with straw, which showed that he had probably been hiding in a barn near by. His wife took him back to their home where, still in charge of the keeper, he seethed more contented and was doing very well until last night. Then the old fear of being returned to an asylum possessed him and he again slipped away. A search was begun_and continued all night. It was not until apout 2:30 o’clock this afternoon that his body was found face downward in a siough. It is thought that in attempting to cross it he mired and was unable to get out. The water was only about two feet deep where he was found. A e BORROWED A STOCKTON HORSE. Thomos Hudson Quietly Skips the Town and Is Arrested at Greenwood for Grand Larceny. STOCKTON, Car., Jan. 10.—Last week a man named Thomas Hudson, who has been staying at a local lodging-house with his wife, secured a horse from Samuel Anderson of this city on the pretext that he wanted to carry a load of potatoes to Jamestown, From E. Ball, who lives in the out- skirts of Stockton, he obtained a rig and harness, saying that he intended to peddle onions in the mountain towns znd would purchase the borrowed articles on s return if they suited him. That night Hudson and his wife ra- moved their belongings secretly from the lodging-house in which they had been liv- ine and started for Greenwood, in Placer County, where relatives of Mrs. Hudson are said to live. Anderson became suspicoius of Hudson after hiring the horse to him, and learned that he had not gone to Jamestown. The matter was reported to Sheriff Cunning- haw, and a warrant was issued for Hud- son’s arrest on a charge of grand larceny. To-day he was arrested at Greenwood by a depnty sheriff of Placer County, and he will be brought here to-morrow for trial. ama e Hope for Santa Cruz'z Idle. SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. 10.—Three hundred meals have been served and seventy-five lodgings supplied by the Sal- vation Army since the opening of the shelter a week ago. Honest unemployed men are thus spared the necessity of ask- ing charity and can preserve their inde- pendence and self-respect by saying noth- ing and sawing wood. Thirty doliars worth of sawed wood has been sold and the expenses of the shelter thus provided for. There is no longer excuse for idlers in Banta Cruz and those wi.o wili not work are sent to jail.

Boggs, ex-City Treasurer of Tacoma, sen- tenced to six years imprisonment for col- lecting interest on city deposits. The petition for a pardon had hundreds of sig- natures from all parts of the State. The attorneys for Boggs filed a motion in the Supreme Court for a rebearing, alleging insufficiency of evidence. They claim he has been made a scapegoat and that the petition for a pardon is denied for politi- cal reasons. s Drowned in Salmon Bay. SEATTLE, Wasm., Jan. 10.—Peter Eng- Iish of Seattie, aged 22, and H. J. Hoff. mann of San Francisco, 26 vears old, were darowned last night in S8almon Bay, near Ballard.

Seventy-Five Men Engaged in Cleaning the Bottom of Debris and Weeds. Large Quantities of Trout Found in the Shallow Pools and Tem- porarily Preserved. Golden Gate Park yesterday were aston- ished to find the lake gone. All they saw ‘was the hole. No fish, no boats, no water in evidence, but instead a great deal of ooze and water weeds and disgruntled ducks and swans. The hole was not much to look at, still it seemed to afford consid- erable amusement and was the cause of much curiosity. All through the past week the park had received a little ““syphon’’in its sand, and that effected the surprising change yester- day. It was a big undertaking that Superin- tendent McLaren faced a week ago to-day when he put his men at work on the lake. The supply of water running in{o the res- ervoir was shut off, and then three exhaust- pipes, each having a diameter of ei:ht inches, were opened. Their discharge of .water from the lake was subdivided and distributed over the sandy hollow west of | Strawberry Hill. The water rushed through with great force, but owing to its distribu- tion it scattered harmlessly over the sand. To assist these pipes in emptying the large body of water which has formed the beautiful lake encirciing Strawberry Hill tws ereat syphons were introduced whers they discharged one into the valley known as the’49 camp and another oneon the north side. The current from the syphons tore up a deep rut of 100 feet long in the fine sand, but at no time did a pool form; the water sank almost insiantly, as if the ground were a sponge with an insatiable thirst, Day and night for a week these pipes discharged and lowered the level of the lake. By Friday at noon only a little water was left, and that in the lower level on the eastside, which is a foot deeper than at the other end. On the dry portion several men were started with scrapers and shovels. It was their duty to scrape and gather the mud and weeds. turday saw seventy-five workmen in tte bed of the lake. They worked in groups, and as fast as the soit slusa that discolored the water could be gathered it was hauled away in wagons. The bottom of the lake was tound to be hard and solid as the day it was laid, and carts passed over it without cutting the beaten clay. This was an agreeable sur- prise for the superintendent, for the lake is perhaps the first one successfully con- structed on ‘“‘made’ ground. Another week will be given to cleaning it and then the water will be pumped in till the lake is full again. ‘When the water was very shallow in the lowest spot a remarkable quantity of trout | was found there. Thefish were from all sizes from *‘that length” down to little bait, and there was more of them than water to swim in. With a large net the speckled trout were raised and moved to tne pool at the base of the waterfall, There they will remain until the lake is full, but they are having a rather con- strained time of it with barely elbow room for their fins. They all appeared to be healthy and to have done weil in their artificial home. It will take at least from seven to ten days to fill the lake and about February 1 newly varnished and painted boats wiil be ready to sail over its placid face and the rebellious fowls can have their cus- tomary aquatic sport A SERMOA CN SOCIALISM Rev. A. J. Wells Begins a Series of Uncoaventional Ad- dresses. “Civilization May Have to Contend for Its Life With the Forcas It H:s Evolved” The Rev. A. J. Wells, pastor of tine Second Unitarian Church, Twentieth and Capp streets, preached an interesting and altogether unconventional sermon last night on “Socialism,” the first one of a series on the industrial situation. In the course of his remarks he said: “We have entered upon a new era in the history of the world. For 2500 years the chief interest to the student of history has been the struggle of the democratic idea. Privileged classes, imperialism, the divine right of kings has gone down. The dem- ocratic idea has emerged, but now that the people have political freedom, what will they do with it? Have the principles of pcfmlur government been carried 10 their logical conclusion? Socialist’s say no. We have politicai democracy and relicious democracy. The next step is industrial democracy, and that is Social- ism. The social question is, and is to be, the question of our time. “What produces the dissatisfaction with the existing social order? It is first a re- action against individualism. The daily press often classes socialists and anarch- ists together. They are not alike. They represent the extremes of social thought. Anarchism is the abolition of all govern- ment, socialism is the doctrine that gov- ernment should control everything for the common good; second, socialism isan outgrowth produced by the contrasts ot society. Wealth has never been so' dif- fused, the comforts of wealth never so eneral, wages never so good, yet the con- rasts were never so great. Qur greatest peril is the concentration of wealth, our greatest need an equitable distribution of wealth. Political economists say that the benefits of the present civilization are not impartially distributed, and it 1s not strange that workingmen should agree and be restiess. Then, again, the situa- tion is complicated by invention. Ma- chinery tends to heighten differences of condition, to establish social classes and to erect barriers between them. “‘It does this by separating the employer and employed. It does this by mak- ing the workingman himself "a ma- chine. Btatistics show that the man- ufacturing departments of ‘our pop- ulation are inferior to the agri- cultural departments, the monotony of much factory work tending to injure the manhood of the wageworker. The drift of things makes operatives into an hered- itary class, Wife and children are often compelled to assist in the struggle for bread. The hard struggle perpetuates ig- norance, develops intemperate habits and debases manhood. Chiidren born of such parents are feeble and repeat the history of the generation from which they sprang. Here are the roots of socialism. “The same law which tends to makea The crowds that went to Stow Lake in- hereditary class of overatives tends also to create a class of capitalists and monop- olists. Then combination enables this class to command the trade, and produc- tion is stopped long euough to advance prices. Boards of trade make and un- make the prices of food. Students of so- ciology know that the death rate rises and falls with the prices of food, but com bina- tions can determine for a time the prices of the very necessaries of life. *‘When civilization thus tends to injure multitudes by the very conditions of its advance, dwurfing manhood by the tri- umph of inventive genius, when it tends to develop despotic power, oppressive and exasperating, it may fairly be questioned whether such civilization produces right und wise economic conditions. _ ‘“The time may-come when modern ciy- ilization will have to -contend for its life with the forces it bas evolved. In that day will popular government be our safety? No! Because of our free institu- tions the battle will be first fought out here. ““What is the path to a more harmonious social state? There is no answer that can be put into a sentence; there is no_easy road to the world’s social paradise. In re- ligion the notion of a church kingdom—a kingdom of the saints—must give way to the kingdom of humanity. In trade the practical maxims involved in the competi- tive civilization are self-defeating; they cannot be applied to private business or public policies without endangering the stabllity of society. ‘What is not good for the bee'is bad for the hive.’” SHE DIED IN LONDON. Mrs. McRoberts, a Former Resident of This City, Passes Away. News of the death of Mrs. Mary Mc- Roberts in London, Eng., has just been received in this City. She passed away on December 1. Deceased was for many years a resident of the Pacific Coastand of this City, where she was universally known and admired as one of the ablest champions of lemale emancipation and the central figure at every women’s gathering of any import- ance. Her husband was at one time con- nected with the press of tuis City, but left for London about two years ago, accom- panied by his wi‘e, and is at present act- ively enguged there in the journalistic profession. Mrs. McRoberts was Miss Mary McDon- ald before she married and as such enjoyed a_well-earned reputation in educational circles. Leiand Staniord Jr. was among her pupils. Her death will be deeply regretted by her friends in this part of the world, to whom her many admirable qualities of mind and heart had closely endeared her. No intimation of the fact that she was ill had been received prior to the un- expected announcement of her demise. HIGHER WHEAT HELPS PROJUCERS Flour Goes Up and Bakers Raise the Price of Bread. Restaurants Get Smaller Loaves and They Make Com- plaint. The recent great demand for California wheat bas caused a noticeable stimula- tion in the price of the product and all things made therefrom. Within the past month it has become generally known that there are not to ex- ceed 400.000 tons of wheat in this State. As a result the price has taken a great jamp in milling ana shipping grades. Flour, feeling the stimulus, has gone from §3 35 to §$4 80, These figures are for the ordinary grades, used by local bakers. The quality that was bought for low figares a few months ago is now $1 15 higher per barrel, but the total raise since the wheat first advanced has been $1 55. The immediate effect of the increased price oi flour on local bakers has been to cause a diminution of the loaves, likewise in the size of \roils, doughnuts and other articles rated under the designation of breadstuifs. Local restaurant proprietors complain that they are getting decidedly the worst of the new rates. “We pay the same price for much smaller loaves.now,” said a prominent resiaurateur; “'so you see that the baker gets the same prices for smaller measures. Tue German rolls we buy now are ouly about half the size they were. We get a fanny assortment of doughnuts nowa- days. They give us a range of sizes in each dozen, scaling them down. On each loaf of bread they cut off from two to four ounces, and that m ans two or three zood slices. 'This forces us to buy mare bread, because we cannot cut our customers short or charge them more for their orders.”” The proprietor of the Prost bakery, 328 Third street, was seen relative to the in- creased prices last night. He said: “Itis true that lour has.gone up about $155 a barrel and we have been compelled to make loaves two ounces smaller. If the thing continues we will have to cut it down two ounces more. The advance m the price of flour has of course given the producer more. Farmers get more for their wheat, millers charge more for their flour and we haveto go to higher prices for our bread.”” Bakers met in mass-meeting at the Turk-street Temple yesterday afternoon to consider problems connected with their businass. Those assembled were chiefly members of Unions Nos. 24 and 42. They had expected a promised report from In- spector Cameron on the coudition of bakeries. As he was not there they made loud complaint. He wag particularly criticized by liam Postler, who " said that he be- lieved ic to be the duty of a public official 10 serve those who got him appointed to a position, especially as that official had promised to come and make a report. Resolutions were passed favoring the bill now pending in the Legislature to compel bakers to keep their establish- ments ciean, and for che protection of employes trom employers who desire them to work more than ten hours a day. Speeches on these subjects were made by Messrs. Rough, Seiler, Postler, Ross- berg, Lynch and Warnecke, and it was re- solyed to do ali possible to have the sani- tary measure become a law. ——————— EPIPHANY SERMON. Dr. Spalding Preaches on the Psalmist’s Words. Dr. Spalding of St. John’s Episcopal Chureh took for his text yesterday morn- ing the words of the psalmist, “The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork. Day unto day uttéreth speech and night unto night sheweth knowledge. The is no speech nor languagze where their voice is not heard.” This being Epiphany season, he preached on the manifestation of Christ. “We of to-day (like the heathens) want a God whom we can see, and not a phantom God. If we only look for him we will see that he is revealed to us not only in his Holy Word, but in all the world of nature about us, in every leaf, in every flower, stream, hill and mountain, ‘We have come to understand the laws and Rev. workings of nature so well that many of us have eliminated God altogether, and forget that it is his almighty power that is over it all, Children understand the voices of nature far better than they do after their hearts become corrupted, and often when one puts away childish things he puts away that which is necessary to enter the kingdom of heaven. “Christ took many of his teachings from nature. David refers to it all through his beautifu! psalms. In nature everything has its place and its work to do. Let each of us remember this in our daily duties, and do each of them to the glory of God. HE HAD A GAY TIME. The Missing Clerk of William Price & Co., Front Street, Arrested for G:and Larceny. Peter Borston, the clerk for William Price & Co., 327 Front street, who disap- peared with money and checks belon-ing to the firm on January 4, was arrested Sat- urday night by Detective Ross Whitaker and Policeman Fitzgerald and booked at the City Prison yesterday on a charge of grand larceny. Borston is 19 years of age and had been intrusted with the duty of depositing money in the bank. January 4 he got $290 in coin and three checks to deposit. One of the checks was on the Anglo-California Bank for $57, one on the Tallant Banking Company for $145 and the third on the First National Bauk for §91. He failed to make the deposit and the cace was reported to_the police. ‘Whitaker and Fitzgerald were detailed to find him, and Saturday night they ar- rested him in a room at 261 Powell street. The three checks were found upon him, but he bad reckiessly squandered the $200. He bought a gold watch for $35 and afte ward pawned it. When arrested he was dressed as a soldier. He met two soldiers while he was spending the money, and got one of them to exchange clothes with him s0 that he could disguise himself. Borston is the same boy who tried to commit_ suicide on the sieamer Walla Walla about two months ago. MOSES ON MOUNT SINAIL Rev. William Rader Says the Deca- logue Was Not Miraculously In- spired. Last night the Rev. William Rader, pas- tor of the Third Congregational Church, preached the fourth of his series of special sermons on the Bible. He stated that these addresses would be studies of the Bible in the light of the new knowledges. The speaker paid a glowing tribute to Moses. “The name of Moses marks the close of an age of mystery and the begin- ning of an age of law,” he said. “His is the greaiest name of the ancient world.” The chiel events in tbe life of the great law-giver were gone over, and then com- in: to' his main subject the pastor ex- plained his position as to the Decalogue to be that while it possibly was of miracu- lous delivery he did not believe it was. “The origin of the Commandments is shrouded in mystery,’ he continued. *The picture of Moses on the mountain is probably the grandest portrait in history. Here is a man who has rocked the throne of the Pharoahs standing on the summit of a mountain iramed in’ sullen thunder, clothed in a garment of fire, having in his hands the tablets of the iaw, the first picture of an ideal man that has b-en caught with the camera of human thought.” COURSING FOR PRIZES.

The Sccialization of Capital Must Accompany the Socialization of Land. The principal speakers atlast night's meeting of the Socialist Labor party in Pythian Castle Hall were tue Rev. W. D. P. Bliss and M. W. Wilkins, the editor of “The New Charter,” a party organ. Mr. Wilkins described the process of his conversion irom populism to social- ism. He spoke ot the former as in reality a movement of the small capitalists and proprietors, whose fervent praver was “*God make me a millionaire.” The cry of iree silver was designed to distract atten- tion from the true issues and to promote dissension in the ranksof the proletariat. The same cry, he assured his hearers, would be raised in'1900. The duty of all true socialists, therefore, was to ignore it and persistently proceed toward the estab- lishment of the co-operative common- wealth. Mr. Bliss, following in some sort the ex- ample of Mr. Wilkins, also informed his auditory of the causes which led to his ac- ceptance of socialistic theories. As a young clergyman of a small parish of Massachusetts hs was at one time firmly convinced that poverty was due to intemperance until he had o casion to ob- serve that many temperate people were as poor as, or poorer than many who were drunkards. The natiopalization of the liquor traffic, Mr. Bliss believed, would tend to abolish intemperance by elimin- ating the element of profit which now en- courages the extension of that traffic. An- other factor in his conversion was Henry George’s ““Progress and Poverty,” But Mr.’ Bliss discovered that God did notonly teach the socialization of the land, but the socialization of capital, without which the first could not effect any permanent amelioration. “Socialism,” said Mr. Bliss, “is the op- vposite of anarchism. It means the exten- ston of fraternal law and order and would attain the co-operative commonweaith by the legal and political capture of present institutions and their gradual evolution into that co-operative commonwealth. The motto of anarchism, on the contrary, is: ‘If you see a head, hit it.’ Pnysical force may destroy the king, but it will not destroy the kingship. We must kill the conditions which produce the plutocrat. I sometimes think that if we must have a sovereign I would rather have one like the gracious Queen of Great Britain than some of the hog kings of Chicago.”’ _Mr. Bliss urged, furthermore, that so- cialists should sound the note of frater- nalism rather thun that of denunciation and hatred. Question and general discus- sion closed the meeting. ————— THE most suflicaiing Coughoan be at once re. lleved with Dr. D.

Religious Services by Fathers Splinter and Kernan of New York. The Labors of the Redemporists Fathers at St 'Rose’s—De- votions at St. Mary’s. The mission being held by the Domi- nican Fathers of New York throughout the United States commenced at Bt. Dominic’s Church, on Bush and Steiner streets, yesterday. The services, which are of exceptional imporiance, are being conducted by Rev. Father Splinter, O. P., and Rev. Father Kernan, O. P. Both clergymen are eloquent speakers and have acquired much experience 1n this work, having been constantly employed in the principal cities of the East for the past year; in fact, they have given up a much- needed rest to pursue the mission work on this coast. .
