THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1897. SPIRITOALISTS LACK HARMONY Yesterday’s Session of the Association Full of Strife, A Strong Board of Directors Was the Acknowledged Result. Two Little Children Were Taken Into the Faith by Special Service. The second day’s session of the second annual convention of the California Spiritualists’ Association opened vester- day morning in Scottish Ha!l. The spirit of peace and brotherly love that is suy posed to pervade such gatherings w more noticeable from its absence than by its presence. From 10 A. M. to 5 P. M. the delegates found plenty of occasion to bitterly disagree with each other and at personalities. times uige in In the calm that preceded t-e stormm several minor mattersof business were transacted. Dr. A. C. Hudson of Stockton we asa delegate. The first sign of strife made its appear- ance when Thomas Ellis Jr. offered a reso- Iution in substance that the charter <o- cieties of the association be required to seated WADDSWO DREDIDENT. THOMAS ELLIS.JUR VicE PRES recognize only those mediums who had been indorsed by the association. Imme- dia‘ely several people made a vigorous protest, claiming that such a resolution was an encroachment upon the liberties and rights of the local societies, Eilis de- clared that it was no intention to do so, pbut that he was making a fight azainst a lot of fake mediums who frequently win their way into the favor of the local bodies. He cited one case where one medium, who had been run off of the camp ground at one of the Eastern camp grounds, had come to this City and been taken up by an Alameda society of spirit- ualists and succeeded in b treasury before the ociety found This started the ball in motion, and it rolled back and for:h throuzh ihe conven- tion all day, cracking the harmony wher- ever it rolled. Mrs. R E. R on got 1he floor, and in her discussion of u pulous and tricky mediums called tion in particular to a local “‘physical” medium, whom she openly denounced for his lack of sincerity 1o the cause, and f his deception in the presentatioh of spirit- ual phenomena. The speaker defined the duties of the spiritualists, and said that i was tue time now to rid the ranks of such frauds, and the convention should elect hounest people on its ncxt board of direct- ors—men who were not afraid to take hold of the matter and siand for truth and right. As the mediu I nounced was in the convention as a dele- gate he made an attempt to speak in his own defense, but M. 8. Norton got the floor, and, taking up the subject where Mrs. Robinson had dropp:d it, proceeded fo rub it into the accused medium by stat- ing that thelatter had applied to the State 2ssociation to be ordained asa minister of spiritualism, but he was refused ordina- tion, and the investigating committee’s report had be:n accepted by the associa- tion. The accused medinm, however, got the floor and made his defense by stating that | he was a true medium and that all he wanted was she truth. He spent sowme time in denouncing an article about him in an Eastern paper, whic: purported to be an expose-of his methods and reflected upon his morality, asa falseh« mivnnd an unvarnished lie. However, Ellis’ resolu- tion went through. Then came another sly hit at parsons in the nall. It wasin the shape of a report or a resolution to the eff>ct that no me- dium or spiritualist speaker who is given to drink be indorsed by the association. No one dared to make any remarks against ihe resolution, and it was passed. For & time there was peace and seversl resolutions that did not grind on any one's toes were passed. One was that cer- tain societies are making a cru_ude against spiritualism, and it was aecided {hutthe believers in the latter shall assume the offensive in any fight that is made upon them. Another was on the line that it is the duty of spiritualists to take part_in matters political in order to equalize the unequal conditions that exist at the present time and prevent ihe oppression of the poor by the rich, and that the National convention be drawn into line in this matier. A little more oil vfpeace was poured upon the convention | Yo m whom Mrs. Robinson de- | b." the passage of a resolution thanking | | President Newman for the services he has yerformed for the association curing his | ierm of office. The trouble cpened in earnest when the | | commitiee un amendments recommended | that the constitution be changed by the | | addition of a clause in substance that no | medium who requires darkness or semi- | darkness in the presentation ot spiritual | phenomena shall b elizible to ordination as a minister or indorsement by the asso- | | ciation. | | Then the fun commenced. In the con-| | vention were a lot of mediums who were | | mspirational speakers, plat.orm lecturers, etc., but who have a number of the otner | phases, and nota few claim that the ab- | sence of the light is one of the necessary | | conditions. These, of couarse, fought the proposition, but the other class, those who have only ability before the pullic, were in favor of the passaze of the syme. Al-| thoueh all claimed that only the true me- diums should be indorsed, still fraud may | be produced in the light as well as in the | arkness, and the upshot of the matter s thut the resoluiion failed to carry. | Norton, who introduced the matter, de- | clared that his oniy reason for so doing to place the convention on record, hat its ion was to serve as a guide | incoming board ot directors.

Smith, a laborer, appeared in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday to answer a charge of obtaining money by false pre- tenses, but as the prosecution was not ready to proceed the case was continued 1il! next Friday. ®On Wednesday last a produce-dealer at E ghteenth and Capp streets notified the Seventeenth-street station that two men had attemnpted to steal someeggs from his store. Policeman T.J. Connell was de- tailed on tbe case, and the two men were poinied out to him. They ran, and Con- neil chased and succeeded in capturing them both, Daring the chase Connell observed that one of them, Smith, tore up a piece of paper and threw the fragments on the street. After taking the men to the sta- tion Connell returned and picked up the torn pieces of paper, When pasted to- gether it proved to be a subscription list for the alleged benefit of the widow and children of the late George Clark, to de- fray the expenses of sending them to thrir home in the East. Among the subscribers were Senator Mahoney, John D. Siebe, P. J. Harney, F. P. Schuster and otners, Conneil 1in- vestigated the matier, and came to the conclusion that it was simply a scheme of Smith to raise money for himeelf, so he swore to the complaint against him.

The Association Hopes to Eventually Bring a Hundred and Fifty Families, Word has been received in this City that the first delegation of families for the St. Joseph’s colony near Salinas will leave Chicago on the 20th of this month. Tne colony was organized some months ago by the German Colonization Association of California and was incorporated with a capital of $500,000 The object of tie association is to bring to California colonjsts, principally Ger- man Catholics, and to establish them in the vicinity of Salinas. The association has secrred 11,000 acres of land only a few miles distant from the Fpreckels sugar factory, and this land will be divided and sold to the colonists, all of whom will necessarily be men of some means of their own. All the lund is improved, be- tween 5000 and 6000 acres being planted in sugar beets. The officers of the assoc’ation are as fol- lows: President, August Erz; vice-presi- dent, L. S. Kast; cashier, Jzcsb Frank; anditor, Alex. J. Berge; secreiary, N, H. Lang. A branch has been established in Chicago, and in addition a number of prominent Catholi; both clergy and laity, are interested in the project. August Erz, the president of the associ- ation, speaking last night of the prospects of the colony, said: *“We expect to locate over 150 families. The first delegation, which leaves Chicago on September 20, will bring 26 fami'ies, and in adaition there wiil be a dozen families from the Pacific Coast. A second delegation will start westward about the middle of October and a third will leave the Easta monthlater. Itis desirable to get as many of them as possi- ble out here before November 1, at which time the contracts ior raising snugar beets are generally made. Claus Spreckels, whose sugar factory is within a few miles of our lands, has written us that he will take all the beets that our colonists raise. “Qurs is no paurer colunization scheme, and every detail of our colony has been examined carefully by a committes com- posed of representatives from various States.
