THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MAY 9, 1898 ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. THE CURSE OF OAKLAND. Rev. E. R. Dille, Fabiola’s Benefit Day at the Racetrack. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, May 8. Rev. the First Methodist Episcopal Church, cellvered the following prelude to-night | to his regular sermon: “There is no public or quasi-public institution upon which Oakianders 1.0k with more pride than upon our Fabiola Hospital. It is one of the fair- es. jewels in Oakland’s crown Its growth and prosperity during the yeur: of its existence reflect the greatest credit upon its unselfish promoters and upon the cf which is ever ready, I am sure, to give it gener grudging suppor I have been fami- liar with its work for the past ten years and have freely borne testimony to the excellence of its management and to its high character as an institu- tion. But there is another institution in the environs of our city which is the antipodes of the Fabiola, for while one does a world of good the other does a world of evil; while one is Oakland's blessing and pride the other Is its shame, curse and disgrace, and it is to me and a large number of our citizens a source of profound regret that there should be any relation between these two {nstitutions or that their names should be associated in any way. The Fablola Hospital has everything to lose, the Emeryville race track every. thing to gain, by an unholy and un- natural alliance even for a single day in the year. “I am sure that I need advance no argument to-night to prove that gam- is a vice that is doing more to T our young men in California than any other, with a single exception —the drink habit; and that the worst form of gambling to-day is that con- nected with the race tracks and pool- room Betting is the soul of horse racing and a thievish desire to get money without earning it is the soul of betting. “I do not doubt that there are a few n who delight in hors honest ort and for the provement in horseflesh that v ed to promote; of such h: it but the number is es of the race track is ir itesimally small compared with the number who frequent the races for the sake of gambling, and dishonest gani- bl How trials of speed o be if there we me method not vet discovered by ch betting on tk sult would be wholl ed?

That is why sure thing gamblers wear fine linen and wear diamonds as big as walnuts and can afford to buy up a board of lady managers occasionally just as Dick Croker in New York bought his way into the swell clubs of the metropolis. The truth is that vice in all its forms—drunkenness, lying, cheating, stealing—are inseparable ad- juncts of the racecourse. Human birds of prey flock to it from under the whole heaven and gorge themselves to the ful Hundreds of millions of dol- lars are invested in the race tracks of t country and the gambling ente prises connected therewith. And it is universally conceded that the Ingleside and Emeryville race tracks receive their chief income from the gambling privileges connected therewith and could nct live without them. Why at som of the great racecourses the starters and judges reccive larger sal- aries than do the Judges of our State Court. The bookmakers at ne and the telegraph and tele- phone companies pay $1500 a day for the privilege of sending news from the track to the poolrooms ail over the country. 5 w as a crime breeder I unhesi- tatingl fliirm that racetrack gam- bling, in and out of poolrooms, is the worst gambling evil in the land. e ), Louisiana lottery, with all its ramifications, its vast wealth and pow- er, constituted no such menace to the public morality, no such source of pri- vate and political corruption, no such burden upon the commercial prosperity of the country as does the racing in- terest. In the heyday of its success the a lottery robbed the people of $34,000,000 in wi in a single year, while the chance of ning its capital prizes was but one 00, “But, according to the New York s, the enormous sum of $2,898,372 stolen in one year with which to the races, to say nothing of the est money wagered.

And yet just before that ac- tion was taken Welburn had robbed the United States treasury to play the races, and just following that action it was developed that Widber had rob- bed the city of $116,000 of its public funds, which had gone Into the insati- able maw of the same institution. And these are but monotonous repetitions of the story of January, and Tilley, and Cassenbohm, and Melville, and Page, nd Flood, and scores of others who have robbed the public treasury or the commercial Institutions of these cities round the bay within the past few years to line the pockets of the emi- nently .espectable gentlemen who try to give their nefarious business a color of 1]'9)(1:\“13;;11!15’ by holding out a gold- en lure to institutions Crei like the Fabiola “Yes, greater mercial back to the racetrack, which is a burden upon our com- interests, a greater draw- E.

And it proposes to get into respectable society by the use of a small portion of its ill- | gotten gains. A January or a Widber | or a Welburn will steal enough from the public treasury in a month to en- able it to bribe into silence and con- nivance several great Christian charl- ties, since money covers a multitude of sins. “The Louisiana lottery purchased for itself immunity from proscription, year after year, by building a great Hbrary for New Orleans, by subsidizing the Y. | M.

But at last | public conscience was aroused, an hon- | est Legislature and an unbribable Christian Governor were ;.lrcled_[ar:g the foul thing was banished In spite its offer to fhe State of a $25,000,000 | bribe. e “If Mr. Willlams wishes to make a | donation to the Fabiola, why does he not do it outright? Why does he re- managers to so advertise and | quire the approve his gambling scheme that they | become particeps criminis in every | crime 1t produces, and so that if their | own sons are ruined by it, they are estopped from any protest? “I have no doubt any saloon or ling hell in Oakland would give the ipts if they would | ladies a night's rece! stand behind the bar and mix drinks, or preside at the gaming table; and I should like to be informed in what re- pect this De by day is morally on a higher plane. SHere 15 an institution that has been | recently driven from New Jersey, | | Rhode ~ Island, Minnesota, Delaware, Pennsylvania and lllinois, and coming to our coast brings from the East a horde of human vampires in its train. An fnstitution that has impoverished and ruined multitudes, corrupted thou- sands of young men, and degraded childhood and womanhood. And yet Jueens in Oakland take this pariah, to their hearts | s's sake rity is precisely like that of n who should come to me and say, give me $100 every morning, and I give your sick family one dollar ry evening.’ “Oakland gives the race track at least $250,000 a year, and it gives back a paltry four or five thousand on con- tion that we give it a certificat. of | gamb- ‘ | | | | a ma = respectability. Says the Monitor, the organ of the| Roman Catholic Church on the coast, ‘gambling fe in n Francisco and Oakland because the peonle are will- ing to see their women degraded, their 2 men debauched and their old , dishonored by the minions of hell whose habi‘at is the race track.’ “Ladies, th-re is a difference in| money; a $5 gold piece handed you as | the fruit of a son's honest labor is one thing, but the same coin handed you as the price of the dishonor of a daugh- ter would drive you insane with hor- ror. “Blood money is awful coin. Even the hardened Pharisees would not re- ceive it, and even the betrayer of Christ flung it from his covetous grasp. “I predict that all the money the | Fabiola Hospital receives from its | Derby day as_a bribe to connivance | and silence will be the most dearly got- ten revenue it ever received, for it will cost it, I fear, the sympathy of the | Christian public and the blessing of | God.” — e — | MRS. YULE REPLIES. | | President of the Fabiola Asso- | ciation Is Indignant. | The announcement that Rev. Dr.| Dille intended to express his views on the Fabiola Derby day at the race| | track drew a large crowd to the First M. E. Church to-night. Although the notice of the address contained no hint | of the nature of the criticism. it was | more than surmised that the Derby day | plan of raising income would be sev- | erely condemned, and the surmise | proved to be correct. [ Fabiola has long been the pride of | the charitably inclined in this city. It| | has always been the boast of .ue man- | agement that the institution is abso- | lutely non-sectarian, is open to all| schools of medicine and that it dls-i | penses unfettered charity to all who | | are unable to support themselves dur- | ing sickness. Any attack on Fabiola | | is sure to bring forth a defense from the ladies who manage the institution, | many of whom are leaders in Oakland | | society. | | Mrs. John Yule, president of the | | | Fabiola Association, was shown the re- marks of Dr. Dille to-night and was | asked for her opinion. | “I have been president of the Fabiola | | Association for many years,” said Mrs. | | | Yule, “and have frequently been called | upon.to explain certain features of our } work, but this is the first time I have | had to meet such an argument as that | | advanced by Dr. Dille. I am at a loss, | in the first place, to know why Fabiola | should be singled out for this attack. | Nearly every charity in San Francisco | has been made the beneficlary of a special day at the race track, and yet, although Dr. Dille has been in San Francisco for the past five years, I have not heard of his having con- demned any of the institutions over there for partaking of the generosity of the race track people. Next week there is to be a day at the track for the purpose of raising funds to build a tunnel through the hills into Contra Costa County. Will that project also come under the ban? Will Dr. Dille condemn that and say that a curse will | rest on that highway because it was | helped by the racing people? “Fabiola is not a religious institu- tion and never professed to be. All are welcome, and its policy is as broad as the broadest definition of charity. Nearly everybody in this city helps it. Among its friends are people of all creeds, and we have not forgotten that we were helped some time ag. by a lec- ture kindly delivered for us by Rev. Father Yorke. In this instance we feel particularly grateful to Mr. Thomas Williams for making it possible for us to have such a substantial benefit. Our best society attends these events and there is no doubt that much of the day’s proceeds would not be taken in if it were not for a haritable purpose. Fabiola does not receive any betting money, hut receives the total gate re- ceipts paid by people to s-e the races. I am very sorry Dr. Dille has ad- dressed such language to the ladies of Fabiola. and think our work deserves encouragement rather than discourage- mle,:.st year Fabiola day netted the hos- pital over $4000.

County Against the State, and State Against the County. Since Lou Brown’s Visit More Has Been Heard of His Aspira- tions. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, May 8. Events of the past week clearly show the nature of the campaign being made by the friends of the respective gentlemen who are anxious to succeed Governor Budd. The next month will probably show what support Dr. Pardee and W. R. | Davis can expect from this county and | also from the balance of the State. It is now very evident that the Davis people are making a campaign of such a nature as it {8 hoped will exercise a marked influence throughout the whole of the State, while not neglecting the pos- sibilities of this county. Mr. Davis was a prominent member of the State League of Republican Clubs when it was organ- ized in 1896. He is now the president of the league in this county. Last Friday night & meeting of the leaders of thee State league was held at the Palace Ho- tel, and In some manner or other consid- erable mention was made of Mr. Davis. | One of the speakers, H. A. Powell, who was a Presidential elector two years ago, openly complimented Mr. Davis on the good work he had done in the campaign for McKinley. Among those who were present from Oakland were Frank A. Leach, Murray Laidlaw and a few others, Colonel Stone, who presided, threw out a suggestion of the advisability of the State Central Committee working in harmony with the State league for the purpose of advancing party interests. It was finally arranged tnat at the convention of Re | publican leagues to be held in San Fran- cisco on the last day of this month a del- egation should be invited from every bona fide Republican club in the State. Not a word was said about Dr. Pardee, and no one from his camp appeared to be pres- ent. Another sidelight on this Interesting situation is found In the fact that Mr. Davis is president of the Alumni Asso- | ciation of the University of California, and it is his duty to arrange for the an- nual banquet to be held in the middle of next week. Mr. Davis has pledged that the banquet shall be a more elaborate affair than any that have preceded it. He has named as his committee two dele- gates from each of the classes that have graduated since 1573. These committee- men have been chosen from all portions of the State, with the natural result that the name of W. R. Davis is extensively circulated. There is, of course, no poli- tics in this, but under the circumstances the occasion is certainly an opportunity that has not been neglected. Nearer home a few genuine Davis clubs have made their appearance, and there is much spec- ulation as to the influence they will wield within this county. It is plain, however, that the Davis people prefer to recruit strength in the State at large and hope thereby to influence Alameda | County. On the other hand the programme of the Pardee men seems to be to obtain all the strength possible in Alameda County, with the hope of influencing the rest of the State. The greatest efforts of those who are favorable to Dr. Pardee are cen- Feeling con- to any county convention the Pardee men are doing all in their power to induce the County Central Committee to So arrange the call that delegates to the State Con- vention shall be elected at a special coun- ty convention called for that purpose. They argue that onlf bg’ this means can Alameda send a solld delegation to the State Convention. In the Seventh Ward the Young Men’s Republican Club has al- ready indorsed Dr. Pardee. The Young Men’s Republican League of Alameda County has not and will not take up any particular candidate, but it has passed a resolution indorsing the convention plan of electing delegates to the State Conven- tion. Now it is stated that an attempt 1l be made to unite the regular Seventh Ward Republican Club_ with the Young Men's organization in that ward, though | it 1S hardly likely that the regular club, which, it is well known, is almost solid for Pardee, will go outside of its usual course and accept the indorsement al- ready made by the Young Men’'s Club. It is daily becoming more apparent that L. H. Brown is not without friends in Alameda County, and he is known to have some warm allles on the County Committee. As both Davis and Pardee are from the same wing of the party, it goes without saying that there is a large element that is anxious to take up a third man, and Lou Brown appears to be gath- ering them under his wing. He was in this city a couple of weeks ago, and since his departure his name has been mentioned more frequently. Any estimate of chances in this county that ignores Brown is not complete. TUp to the present time the contest has been carried on in a very friendly man- ner. Nothing has yet been injected into the campaign between these two gentle- men that savors of personalities or petti- ness. Occasionally some irresponsible has attempted to get some expression of opin- jon before one of the clubs, which would have produced unpleasantness, but such members are no more representative of the respective factions than were the hot- headed few who turned Colonel Fair- banks’ 8lctln“e to the wall representative of the Oakland militia. In the past two years especially there has been much opposition shown against the holding of several primaries, and it is noticeable that some of those who are now favoring the holding of the primary and a convention for State delegates were among those who one, two and three years ago were most prominently opposed such a system. In many respects the contest closely resembles that of two years ago, when Judge Frick and Mr. Hilborn were run- ning for the Congressional nomination. The latest bills for supplying water to the City Hall, which are based on meter rates, have set the average citizen to thinking. Since all water is of equal commercial value, whether used for di- luting whisky or irrigating a lawn, it is rather difflcult to understand why it would not be fair to producer and con- sumer alike for the Council to authorize a uniform meter system throughout the city. There is nothing in the law to 1(“‘“” such an Intricate system of book- eeping and surveying as is necessary under the present schedule to arrive at the charges for water in each individual instance. At this time there is a special value set on water for household purposes, another value for washing windows and side- walks, another value for visitors, another value for school children, another value for {rrigating lawns, another one for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, bakery shops, brewerles and street sprinkiing. There is also a clause permitting the companies under certain conditions to charge meter rates, as in laundries and public parks. Many of these values have to be determined by mea.surlnfi the length of sidewalk, the superficlal area of houses, the size of lawns, the number of stories to a dwelling, the number of baths and closets it contains and many other calculations. Again, if a Dbill is disputed, the dis- putant has to deposit %, the City Engi- neer has to survey the premises to see if the water company’s measurements are correct, and if he decides that they are the §5 becomes his. It is not for the average citizen to understand why all these complication: should be. There is only one source of I ' supply to each house or dwelling, as con- sumers find to their mortification _when they neglect to Dli; their rates. Why is it not possible to have a meter through which all the water must pass, whether used or wasted, and to fix a uniform rate for all such water? The great complaint of the water companies is that so much water is wasted. But by a uniform meter system, citizens would have to pay for every gallon wasted and if the companies are sincere in sending out notices as at present, that there is a danger of a scar- city of water it would not seem unreason- abie to expect them to indorse so simple a plan for saving water, for most cer- tainly consumers would practice economy when they saw its effect on_their pocket- books. ‘STUART N. BOOTH. NO MASONS KILLED. Captain Joseph B. Coghlan of Val- lejo Congratulated by His Brethren. OAKLAND, May 8.—At the stated meet- ing of Oakland Lodge No. 188, F. and A. M., held on E£aturday evening, Brother Edwin A. Sherman presented the follow- ing resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That Oakland Lodge No. 18, F, & A.

Coghlan, pest master of Solano Lodge No. 229, of Val- efo, Cal., the captain of ‘the United States ship Raleigh, and all other brethren of Commo- dore Dewey's squadron upon being uninjured in the recent conflict. and that we extand to our suffering Spanish brethren of the Mystic Tie (If such there be) among the injured in #aid engagement, our earnest fraternal sympa- thy in their misfortune, and commend them to the kind care of a mereiful providence and the tender humanity of their American cap- tors and the fraternal attention of their brethren. . Resolved, That a copy of this resolution, igned by the worshipful master and_wardens of Oakland Lodge, duly attested by its secre- tary, be at once transmitted to worshiptul brother Joseph B. Coghlan, captain of the United States ship Ralelgh at Manila. [T DISCLOSES THE HAND OF GOD True Explanation for Our Ships Enjoying Such Im- munity. Rev. V. Marshall Law’s Unique Ex- planation Concerning the Battle of Manila. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, May 8. At this evening’s services at the Church of the Advent, Rev. V. Marshall Law de- livered an address upon tne immunity of our men and ships from harm in battle. He said: Among all the reasons which I have seen given for the United States troops passing scathless through the great battle of the Phil- ippines no one, it seems to me, has touched &s | yet the true explanation for our men and ships enjoying such singular immunity from harm in that battle. It has been ascribed to poor gunnery and worse guns, to over-excite- ment so that the Spanish aim was d!uturhed‘ and various other reasons. But to my mind it discloses the hand of God. Our cause s the cause of humanity. This war was not under- taken to satisfy a desire for conquest mor the desire for an extension of the territory of this country, but it was undertaken to set the op- | pressed, the starving women and children free from maesacre and rapine. As such it is God's cause, and God always makes a majority for the side on which he Is engaged, be the forces great or small. It is true that in nearly every war but this there have been two fairly well- defined sides. Some right could be claimed by either belligerent. But when our arms under- took to rescue the oppressed, the helplessly downtrodden and the starved it engaged to do battle for Christ's little ones. The king of heaven has been with us from the beginning, and Admiral Dewey's marvelous naval accom- plishment was but the hand of the Almighty, Who by the turn of the currents of the sea which are in the hollows of his hands has pro- tected our ships as with a hundred armor plates and suffered not ‘the winds and the waves to deflect our shot and €hell. At a recent banquet where our Bishop was present he voiced a reflection which I may amplify as follows: If when Columbus set foot on these shores an angel had hovered over his grandlloquent landing and planting of the standard of Spain, and had told him in pro- phetic annunciation that In four hundred years the armies of this new country would humble that same flag in one mighty battle on the other side of the globe, and that the very name of Spain would be a hated by-word, how impossible would this have seemed to the haughty Genoese as he looked over our barren shores, where the American Indian and the wild beast held undisputed dominion! Here again is the working of God in history, and We do well, as you know we have done to-day, to invoke in this church the help of the’ of righteous battles and to offer thanksgivings for victory in the words of our matchless ritual, which is never found lacking in suit- able language to express human desire and thanksgiving for a people who truly love Him Who is at one and the same time the creator of the universe and the friend of little chil- dren and helpless women. — e Blue Rock Pigeons.
