8 SA FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 6 e e e 189 HUBBARD AGAIN FOR HUNTINGTON No Changes Anticipated in Southern Pacific Officers. Vitws Expressed by the, Repre- sentative of the Searles Estate. \ Well Satisfied With the Management of the Great Railroad Cor- poration. According to the views of General Thomas H. Hubbard, there will be no unusual development at the annual meet- Sng of the stockholders of the Southern Pacific Company, which is to be held to- morrow. Genoral Hubbard, who arrived from the East on Sundey night, is the representative of the Searles estate and 1s second vice-president of the company. He was accompanied by Wiltiam Manl controller of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. Great interest centers in General Hub- bard, owing to the fact that a year ago he was strongly urged by Mrs. Stanford to stand as a candidats for the presidency of the great raitroad corporation in opposi- tion to Collis P. Huntington. He de- clined to do so, but despite his attitude in the matter, Mrs. Stanford instructed her two representatives in the directory of the company to cast their votes for the Gen- eral. 1tis believed that Messrs. Wilson and Lathrop will follow the same course at the coming election. Generai Hubbard appeared in the rail- road building, at the corner of Market and Montgomery streets, at 11 o'clock this morning and spent ihe greater vart of the day in conference with C. P. Hunt- ingion, Colonel Charles F. Crocker and other prominent officials of the company. He will also devote most of to-day to fa- Tilisrizing himself with the affairs of the company, 50 far as they relate to this part of the country, and in renewing his ac- quaintanceship with the local offiCials. The main object of the gentleman’s visitis to be prevent at the elections of directors and officers of the company, which are to be held on Wednesday and [hursday respectively, and to take part sions relative to the future Southern Pacific Company. Though General Hubbard resides in the East he is well informed on Southern Pa- cific Railroad matters on {he coast. In the course of an interview yesterday he stated that work on the fifty-five-mile gap on the coast divisi between Surf and Xiwood, wonld be pusbed as soon as there Were sufficient funds available for the pur- pose. The last twenty-two miles, he stated, were particularly expensive, while business was dull and rates low. This is one of the matters that will be discussed at the meetings of the railroad people 1o be held this week. Concerning the election of officers, he declared that he did not believe there would be eny changes, and that no great divergence would be made in the policy of the company in any respect. He was asked if he would cast his vote for C. P. Huntington as president, but would not make any direct avowal of his intention. He simply remarked that he did not see any necessity for a change and did not think there would be an This leaves the clear inference that C. Huntington will eontinue as the president | of the Southern Pacific Company for the next term. CONDEMNS ELDER JACKS, Dr. Scott Spaaks to Pastors on the Ethics of Property. Rev. G. A. Schulte Addresses the Baptists—Germaa Ministers Meet. Rev. Dr. Bcott seized the occasion of a discussion on “The Ethics of Property,” at the Presbyterian Ministerial Union yesterday, to denounce the mercenary conduct of *‘the wealthy Presbyterian elder of San Jose who a féw days ago put an aged couple out on the sidewalk be- cause they were in arrears with their rent.” Dr. Scott’s scathing allusion to the misuse of wealth was the climax to a discussion in which Dr. Scott had con- tended that ‘‘property that has been gathered together by the impoverishment of some one else is rovbery.”” He con- tended that the element of brotherhood should prevail everywhere, and that the rich man who overlooks the obligations of brotberhood is abusing a sacred trust. Rev. Dr. Bevier said he thought the ethics of property a question that belongs to the church; men should be taught to look upon wealth as a sacred trust. to be used for the loftiest ends. Dr. Arthur ‘Thompson thought the socialistic and an- archistic platforms could do nothing; the spirit of Christ could alone teach men the 1rue ethics of property. Several other questions were considered by the Presbyterian Union yesterday. Rev. Dr. Ketchum, while speaking ar- fently in favor of Presoyterianism, re- flected somewhat on_the presbytery as an executive. Rev. J. B. Warren decried the practice of admitting uneducated men from other denominations into the Pres- byterian ministry. The following officers of the Presbyterian Ministerial Union were elected: President, Rev. Dr. Ketchum; vice-president, Rev. W. Beyier; secretary and treasurer, Rey. James N. Woodworth. Atthe Baptist Ministerial Union Rev. G. A. Schulte of New York, secretary of the American Baptist Home Missionary Society for the Germans, delivered a brief address, showing the wonderful growth of the German Baptist church in the United Btates. Rev. Dr. Taft of Alameda read a paper on “The Day of the Crucifixion.” 1t was areply toone read afew weeks ago by Rey. % F. Binny. At the German ministers’ monthly meeting ‘a paper was read by Kev. L. G. Bhultz of Lorin. Rev. Dr. James M. Grey, the “lawyer Puncher read the paper before the Chris- stian _ ministers yenexd-y. His subject was “Life in Christ.” At the meeting of the Methodist. Min- inters’ Association Rey. G. Milnes read a paper on “The Forces Which Shall Tell on the Hestored Kingdom of God. 1t was announced tnat Dr. Berry would address the next Monday meeting. A motion wasmade to invite all the min- isters of the Metnodist Episcopal Church Bouth to hear him. Dr. Steele, editor of the Youne People’s Paper of the M. E. Church South,is expected here the last week in this month. Itis likely that he will address the ciub during his visit here. ————————— Boulevard Deeds Recorded. The dceds recently made by Adolph Sutro and the Spring Valiey Water Company to property through which the Balboa boulevard passes were placed on record at the Recorder’s office yesterday by Mayor Phei ————— TO PROTECT CHILDREN. A New Society Organizes, Selects a Name and Elects Officers. The Eureka Society for the Protection of Childrex is the name of the new or- gamization formed for the prevention of cruelty to the little ones and for the care and protection of the helples=. Tne new body is to some extent an off- shoot of the old one, and was brought into exlistence by the fact 1hat the presi- dent of the California sociely refused to investigate charges made against Secre- tary Welch. The members comprising the new or- gan'zation met yesterday in the Donohoe building, and, after adopting a8 name and a constitution and by-laws, elected the following trustees: Mrs. Kate Pettie, J. W. Waiton, A. C. Bauer, A. R. Frederick, Henry W. Thorp, M. Stein, Mrs, L. A Roberts, E. Wadham, Mr« J. W. Reay, Mrs. W. J. Gurneit and R. A. Tuttle. Immediately after the board selected and appointed the following officers: President, Mrs. Kate Pettie; vice-presi- dent, R. H. Tuttle; treasurer, J. W. Wal- ton; secretary, F. A. Holbrook. Itwasan- nounced thatin addition to work of look- ing after cases of cruelty the society will build a home of its own, where homeless little ones will be sheltered, instead of, as in the past, being dependent upon orphan asylums and other charitable institution«. Itis expected that the new society will occupy the rooms of the old body in con- junction with the Soclety for the Preven- tion of Cruelty 10 Animals. URBAN FARMERS MEET The Formal Organization of a Club Effected Last Night.

Rev. Percy C. Webber of Boston De- livers the Discourse, Bishop Nichols the Benediction. The Chamber of Commerce saw another sight than that to which it has long been accustomed. At noon yesterday the deep tones of an organ shook out into long, soothing, melodious waves the sharp vi- brations of ’change. Banker and broker, lawyer and merchant, professional and business man knelt together in the big, gloomy room that since its dedication years ago has echoed daily and tonoihing other than the quick tread of the money- changer. A ministes of the gospel was conducting divine service and a gathering of men such as never came together in San Fran- cisco for the purpose was joining in the prayer and:responses, The meeting was the first of & series of ten, to be held for as many succeeding days, inaugurating the Lenten seasou. A large organ had been placed in the room to the left of the rostrum, the floor had been covered with white crash ana hand- biils had been circulated throu:h the marts and avenues of trade, calling upon business men to assemble there for a half- bour at noon to join in divine service.

The Supreme Court of the United States yes- terday sustained the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals to the effect that A. B. Bow ers is the invenior of the system of hydraulic dredging and that the patents secured by him are vaild. The decision was rendered in the case of Bowers against Von Schinidt on & peti- tion for & writ of certiorari. ARCHDEACON PERCY C. WEBBER Speaking to the Buginess Men in the Chamber of Commerce. of California delivered a lecture designed to show how the farmer of this country ! was overtaxed in comparison with his | more fortunate urban compatriot. He cited some interesting statistics from the census of 1800 to make good his claims. His line of thoughbt was that ihe evil to which he called particular attention was due to the Leavy burdens of taxation placed on real estate compared to other property. He argued that the possession of any form ot personal property and the enjoyment of any income, salary or wage wasequally a sign of ability, and in conclu- sion “Equality in taxation means equality sccording to ability.”’ An informal discussion of the lecture followed, and advocates of the single tax theory propounded questions until the chairman suggested that perhaps the dis. cussion was broadening out too much, and thus pleasantly put an-end to the in. teresting controversy. In bringing the matter of organization to the attention of thiose present Chairman Adams stated that the object of the club was to collect and diffuse information oun zgricuitural subjects, and that in this con- nection documents treating of such mat- ters would be accumulated for the benefit of the members of :he ciub. The constitution prepared by the com- miitee appointed for that purpose was | read and adopted without amendment, No president was elected, as the right man, o the charrman informed the mem- bers; had not yet turned up. A man who was well known as a farmer or large farm land owner 1o the people of this City and the State was wanted, be said . H. Taylor was elected vice-president and’ Lovell White treasurer. In view of the non-election of a president Mr. Taylor was authorized to appoint the executive committee of five and ‘the secretary. Itis understood that V. L. 0’Brien wiil be ap- vointed secretary, and that the executive committee will consist of E. F. Adams, Ernst- A, Denicke, -Alfred Hoiman, J. J. Chappell end Pluto 1), Jewett. The office of the ciub will be at 402 Montgomery street and its place of meeting atthe assembly-room of the Mills building. Meetings will be held the first Monday of each month. ———————— TRANSFERS IN 8 IN THE MISSION, Changes that Will Afford Passengers Better Facilities, Commencing Wednesday, April 7%, the southwesterly terminus of the Bry- ant and Brannan streets line will be es- tablished at the corner of T'wenty-ninth and Mission streets, and, as a rule, close connection will be'made with cars of the Ingleside extension. Transfers will be given at the corner of Twenty-sixth and Foisom streets from inward-bound cars of the Bryant and Brannan streets line to mward-bound cars of the Folsdm-street Jine end from outward-bound cars of the Folsom-street'line to outw. d-bound cars of the Bryant and Brannan streets line. Mission-street passengers will thus be en- abled to reach points on Bryant, Brannan and Folsom streets more conveniently than heretofore. Transfers at the corner of Twenty-sixth and Mission streets will be discontinued. pocea SR RS A Woman Burgiar. Two weeks ago Glovanaa Schafanf, a fisher- man, was arowned, and the dey following, it is alleged, Maris Antonio Soldano broke into his house and stole $250 i1 gold and personal fects to the vaiueof $150. Yesterday Schafani daughter swore to a complaint in Judge Low court charging Maria with burglary, and also obtained a search warrant to recover the stolen property Andrew, some one member of which—a different one each day—will lead them. Promptly at quarter past 12 o'ctock, the hour ‘fixed, George H. Andreuss, as “an humble memher of thie Brotherhood of St. Andrew,” opened the service. The weetings, he nln, were addressed to busi- ness men and would be conducted on business principles; would begin prompt- ly. and be dismissed as promptly upon the expiration of the half-hour allotted to them. The hall was reasonably well filled, all the Episcopal ministersof the City being present, seated ‘at the side near the organ, while Bishop Nichols occupied a seat §n the front row with the andience. Hugh Craig and Colin M. Mclntosh did service as ushers. Bervice-books of the society were in eyery seat. E. W. Bizelow served as or- ganist, and, after the brief introductory of the leader, the hymn was announced from a special leaflot printed for the occasion, the hymn beginning, “Jesus calls us from the tumalt of our life’s wild, restless sea,” which goes on to say: Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world’s golden store; ¥rom each idol that would keep us, Saying, “Christians, love me more.” And the audlence joined heartily in the singing. Archdeacon Webber of Boston then be- ean the short practical address which characterized the meeting. It was an ap- peal 1o those present, as captains of in- dustry, to make their business callings as one with the service of God; that they should carry that thought with them ai- ways into trade, politics and profession; that in conducting their own business they should ever remember that they were at the same time like the man of !uznnlh conducting "My Father's busi- ness.” He urged upon them, in consonance with this thought, consideration for oth- ers. “When & poor man comes to your desk asking for work do not turn to him with a sharp word of denfal, excusing yourself with the thought of ihe affairs Ppressing upon you, but think of the hours that the man inay have waited outside before he plucked up courage to enter. The thoughtless word from you will be ashes to his lips and add to his burden of discouragement. “Then, again, if you have a man in your service' Wwho has some weakness, ‘wby should you dismiss him summarily, or re- fuse to try him again, and so loose his hold upon possible redemption and give him over to destruction ?” He charged his hearers to broaden their lives by being interested. *“Be interested in human nature, interested in the pros- perity of the City. The greatest power of all is the power over human hearts. You and I know there is no such power with. out that interest that despensinto joy and hovu in life and without it.”’ Bishop Nichols delivered the benedic- tion and the business men went back to their labors, expressing great satisfaction in the experience. The meeting will be _held to-day at the same hour. —_— Bearings for Ship’s Captains.

MR, CRUZAN RESIGAS Will Now Devote His Energies to “The Pacific. He All Olivet Congregational Church has lost a first-class pastor and the Pacific, the organ of Congregationalism, has gained a first-class managing editor, business man- ager and all-around man of affairs, all in the same person. For several years past the Pacific had | been _conducted by Rev. John Kimball and Deacon S. Smith, Mr. Kimball being the managing editor and Dedcon bmlth the business manager. But old nd ill bealth overtook them, Deacon bmnh almost having lost his eyesight and Rev. Mr. Kimball becoming 80 infirm that he could not do the work. In this contingency Rev. John A. .Cru- zan, Eslnr of Olivet Chureh, was asked to tak> charge of the paper, he having been an old-time printer and familiar with newspaper work. He accepted, and no- tified his congregaiion on January 1 of this year that as ne would do the work of three men on_the Pacific, it would not be possible for him to periorm the duties of his pastorate, and that he wou!d tender his resignation as soon as a successor could be obtained. Sinca that date Rev. Mr. Cruzan has filied the pulpit of Olivet Church, but bas not performed any of his pastoral duties. Rev. H. D. Shenard, a young preacher of groat promise, was ‘ssked 15 become the pastor of Olivet Church, and he accepted the trust a week ago, wnemupon Rev. Mr. Cruzan resigned. Rev. Mr. Shepard is a single man, just entering into the prlme of life. He was a classmate of Dr. Rader in the Andover Theological Seminary, and recently heid the pastorate of ' the Congregational church at Elk Point, near Sioux Falls, 8. . H preaching is ex.emporaneous, and is said to be all the more cffective on that account. WISHES OFFICIALS T0 O THER DUTY Mayor Phelan on the District Attorney's Office. Interesting Figures Will B. C.mmunicated to the Supervisors. Expenses Increased Faster Than Work. Health Beard Attorney Should Do His Work. Mayor Phelan’s quiet investigation into the manner in which the District Attor- ney’s office is conducted has convinced him that there is need of a reform of some kind and he wiil address the Supervisors on the matter in a manner that will prob- ably make the members of the board open their eyes. The inquiry that is now progressing was suggested to the Mayor by a com- munication from District Attorney Barnes to the Supervisors, in which that official requested that Attorney Joseph P. Dunne be retained as special counsel to assist in keeping the office from running behind with its work. Mr. Barnes took occasion to remarkin his petition that there were fifty-eight criminal cases on the calendars of the va- rious courts that must be attended to and that the services of Mr. Dunne were very necessary ior an indefinite period to come, At the time the Mayor called the atten - tion of the board to the fact that the spe- cial counsel fund was exbausted and that there was no money to pay him it he was retained. He also staied "that the attor- ney was engaged almast exclusively in rosecuting violators of the pure-food Tanp end b haan paid a salary for doing what the City aliowed the attorney of the Board of Health $3000 a year for attend- ing to. In spite of the Mayor's mild remon- strance the board saw fit to stand in wjth the District Attorney and voted to retain Mr. Dunue. Then Mr. Phelan started in to ascertain whether or not the attorney was actually needed and procured information as to the character of the cases that the District Aitorney has under his care, whether or not confinuances nad been granted and who asked ior them. Asaresultof the investigation he learned many interesting and valuable facts that wiill be embodied in the message to the board. “I have ascertained,” said the Mayor yesterday, *‘that the business of the Dis- irict Attorney’s office has not increased to any material extent during the past few years, but that the expenses heve been run up 10 a degree that requires investigation and correction. “There area number of sinecures that might be dispensed with, and Iam toid that 1n one case an official who receives a fat salary does work of a character entirely opposite oi wuat it should be. It is time tnat the offices of this City government were run on business principles. *‘Attorney Dunne is exjpected to handle these pure food cases whiie we have an at- torney at $3000 per year 1o look after them. 1 understand that he turns the pey over to the widow of Dennis Spencer, who died while holding the office. ““That is probably true, and Spencer was no doubt a good feliow, but I do_not see why the City should pension Mrs, Spencer, even though it is a deserving case. It has not been done in other cases and it is not business, “The Board of Health funds pay for the service and the man who drsws it should either do the service required or give way to some one who will. [ trust that the board will see that this is only common- sense and their duty to taxpayers and remedy the matter.” The board was addressed yesterday by the Manufacturers’’and Producers’ Asso- ciation in a letter asking that the board appoint Attorney Dunne an Assistant Disirict Attorney and find soma means of paying his salary. The association is particularly anxious to have Dunne kept in office because of the fact that he is en- gaged in prosecuting violators of the pure 100d laws. BAD MONEY. Frank Earvine Acquitted of the Charge of P ing Counterfeits. United States Commiseioner Heacock yesterday dismissed the case of the United States against Frank Karvine on the charge of having passed a counterfeit dollar. Karvine is cashier for the Chicazo Club bookmaking concern at the races and he | passed the counterfeit coin on George S. Loryea in payment of a winning pool ticket. The testimony showed that Kar- vine was in theemploy of Abe Levy; tnat the money received for pool tickets was token in by Levy, placed on a tray and passed over to Karvin to pay the winners, The similar charge against George Lew- ison, cashier for Harlan & Co., will be heard this morning. The enmylamnnt is @. Leopold. The United States officers have recently heard much complaint concerning the ut- tering of bad coin dollars and $5 gold pieces at the racetrack. There have been more complaints of counterfeit money there thananywhere else. The bad dollar is adangerous counterfeit, having all the appeararce and the ring of the genuine, but it is a little lighter in weight. ———— The Afro-American League.
