He dragged the smashed wagon after him into the store, wrecking the fruit stand at the entrance and breaking everything in his path.

The horse stopped abruptly and was led out, but by a peculiar con- dition of affairs it was found impossible to get the wagon out the way it was pulled in. The animal was so badly hurt that it was considered necessary to shoot him.

PETITION SENT TO METCALF ADVOCATES NO COMPROMISE WITH BIGAMY. The Convention Declares That Utah Is No Longer Deserving of a Place in the Union. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 24. A large audience of representative women gathered at Reed Hall this even- ing to protest against the seating of Con- gressman-elect Brigham H. Roberts of Utah. The meeting was organized with the election of Mrs. Sarah C. Borland as president and Mrs. Ella Hughes as secre- tary. Miss Pierce, whd had spent some time in Utah and knew people and conditions there, was the first speaker. She gave a detailed account of Roberts’ life, showing him as one of the theological leaders of Mormonism. Attention was called to his imprisonment in the peniten- tiary for polygamy, also to the fact that he was not a regularly enfranchised citi- zen, since he could not avail himself of the amnesty granted by President Cleve- | land, never having given up polygamy. Reference was also made to Roberts’ many wives and to the children born from plural marriages since Utah had become | a State. The twins so historic in the Utah campaign were alluded to, as evi- dence that the compact with the nation had not been kept as far as the Utah statesman was concerned. The quotation from the twins caused much merriment— | “Ha, ha, ha; he's my pa, He's going to Washington, but he won't take ma!” This was 4 campaign cry in Utah. The ultimate alm of Mormonism was fully set forth, as was the old threat of Brigham Young that polygamy down the throats of the Ameri- can people.” Extracts from speeches of the elders of the Mormon read to show that polygamy was a live issue in the Mormon church, and that to the promise wed to join the u) made when she was aRO sisterhood of State: Miss Plerce’s paper was well and she was followed by Mrs. Louise Cock- roft, who read a newspaper article, writ- ten by Eugene Young, grandson of Brig- ham Young. It contafned a powerful ap- | peal for the down-trodden women of Utah and showed in strong pictures the am- bition of the Mormon leaders and the ulti- mate ends to be attained by them. It was not a_question of a man, but of a princi- ple. The defense of polygamy had been carefully worked out, and the return of Roberts to the House of Representatives | was a challenge from Utah—and a retog- nition by the nation of polygamy, the cornerstone of the Mormon religion. It was_a ringing address, powerfully read | by Mrs, Cockroft. Mrs. H. B. Pinney gave a short talk, outlining the methods by which the Mor- mons attained their ends. She told a story of a prominent pyysiclan who lived in a little town in Utah, who, though a Mor- mon, did not practice polygamy. But as soon as Utah was a State and there was no longer need for secrecy, he introduced his other wives and their familles’ to the community. Mrs. Pinney also pointed out the shrewd, underhand way in which the Mormon tries to attain his ends, thought, in view of the [facts, the time had come for the women of the nation to take a stand in defense of the homes of the nation. Mrs. Granville Abbott, president of the Red Cross Soclety, was the next speaker. She referred to the fact that strong, active protests would deepen into action. There was no doubt of the shock to the moral | sentiment of the nation by the insult that had been put upon it. It was the day of corrupt politics. The politiclans were in the ascendency and in power; still the in- dignant protest of the nation would be listened to by the lawmakers if it were loud enough. The election of Roberts was | an insult to the sacredness of the home. Mrs. George Babcock gave her observa- tions of Mormon life and Mormon work during a stay in Salt Lake, and pointed | out how fatal a mistake it was to trust | to Mormon integrity by taking Utah into the Union. Mrs, women owed the nation In this ecrisis. They had not votes, but they had influ- ence. Each woman could work actively in her own circle, that no body of men would disregard it. It would horrify the new Congressman when he came to take his seat. The sentiment of the meeting was fully expressed that the election of Brigham H. Roberts was a direct insult to the citizens of the nation; that the women of the nation felt keenly the lowering of the home standard which it would mean. polygamist could never legislate for the American women. Two methods were suggested—one to prevent Congressman- elect Roberts from taking his seat by proving that he was not eligible, not a citizen, since he believed in polygamy and had practiced it against the laws of the United States. The other method related to expelling Roberts from the House, the only danger In the latter course lying in the fact that it would require a two-thirds | vote of the House, and there could be no certainty of that. Messages were received from Mrs. Rob- ert Watt, Mrs. Alexander Martin and Mrs, John Yule, expressing their sympathy In the movement inaugurated. ‘The members are preparing to circulate petitions everywhere in Oakland, so that He would yet cram | church were { received | and | | McCleas spoke of the duty which | '3 | of American journalism in next Sun- and the aggregate | would roll up such a mass of influence | A | 1899 a beer wagon, which ran over him.

THE COUNCIL ON RECORD A Significant Water Rate Vote—A City Chemist. OAKLAND, Jan. 24—The City Council went on record to-night on water rates. Girard introduced a resolution declaring that the January bills of the Contra Costa and Dingee companies were twice the size of any previous bills and should not be paid. Girard argued in favor of his motion and Woodward tried to -shift the matter by moving as a substitute that the bills be sent back to the Board of Public Works. The substi- tute failed of passage. Woodward spoke long against the resolution ~and quoted law and took issue with the City Attorney_and finally Rowe and Girard demanded a vote. irard, Rowe, Cuvel- ljer, Prlngl]e and Upton voted not to pay the bills. Henneberry, Watkinson 'nnd Earl votedagainst theresolution and Woodward asked to be excused. This was objected to and Woodward, being forced to declare himself finally, declined to vote. Heit- man and Brosnahan were absent. The City Council to-n’llght created the office of City Chemist. he appointment is to be filled by the Board of Health. The opening of Cemetery Creek was the subject of a long argument and was final- ly postponed for two weeks.

OAKLAND, Jan. 2i.—After hanging fire in court for the past twh vears the charge of embezzlement against Joseph Betten- court was to-day dismissed in Judge Hall's court on the ground that the evi- dence was not sufficient to conviet. About two vears ago Bettencourt was tried by a jury in Judge Greene's court for felony embezzlement, the article al- jeged to have been embezzied being a bi- cyele. A verdict convicting him of mis- demeanor embezzlement was brought in, and afterward set aside. Bettencourt had | Spent three months in jail and was grant- “d a new trial, which was to have come on to-day, but owing to the lack of evi- dence the case was dismissed on motion of Deputy District Attorney Melvin, who urged, moreover, that the accused had al- Teady been pumished sufficlently. o ———— Woman’s work in the war by the leaders, in next Sunday’s Call, ADVERTISEMENTS.
