Practically the sentiment is unanimous. Aside from a mere hand- ful of greedy gamblers who prey upon the rising generation and g wants these incubators of crime to continue. ) ors cannot mistake the meaning of the cry of indignation that arose when it seemed p_os:zb{c {hat the racetrack conspirators would break through the barrier which keeps them beyond the nty’sllmuls.‘ _The sbhers cannot afford to act contrary to the wishes of the people who flaced them in their positions. y wwere to permit the reopening of this kindergarten of crime {he firs_t i'romclad hoof that cwent coursing around the track, clanking against the empty skulls of Ingleside’s victims, would sound the political deathknell of every official responsible for the outrage. . So important is the matter to the moral welfare of San Francisco that many ministers n( the gospel in the city entered their pulpits yesterday for the express purpose of raising their voices i pro- test and appealing to good citizenship to save the community from the assaults of the gamblers and They held up before their congregations that bloody list of those unfortunates who were Iur_td to Ingleside and suffered the penalty. They urged that the young men and young women of the city saved from the temptation that would be held out to them if Ingleside’s gates were thrown open and the poolrooms permitted to continue in business. : sors ignore these appeals? Can they afford to desert the ranks of decency and morality and ally themselves with gamblers and propagators of wvice? €7 0C 9808060800008 8000 0008000000000 U 00 0T 0 0Y006Cee0C0 000 RUIN IN WAKE OF RACE TRACK EVIL S a prelude to his morning sermon vesterday, Rev. Philip Combe, pastor of the Richmond Congregational Church, appealed to his congregation to | use its influence against the reopening of | Ingleside and the unrestricted operation | of the downtown poolrooms. In part he said: “One of the best things that has been | done during the past few years to pre- vent crime in San Francisco was the pas- | sage by the Board of Supervisors of an | ordinance to close the Ingleside racetrack, races, and 1 have | 0 known deluded parents who foolishly 0505 0000800000000005000 | Tlis striking photograph represents the three-year-old son of Mrs. Jess.

It IS stated that a movement is to be made on Monday night to get the present board to rescind this action of their predecessors. It does not seem possible that such an attempt can be suc- cessful. The men who are to be thus ap- proached were elected in the belief that hey were in sympathy with the era of ood government so well begun, and that they would use the power given them to help to make our ~ity one of the best ethically and esthetically, as it is locally and topographically. Scarcely anything could occur that would be more injurious to healthful growth, more ruinous to busi- ness integrity, more degenerating to pub- lic morals, more deflant to good sentiment, more offensive to official trust than this. It behooves us as Christian citizens to pray that God in his infinite wisdom and almighty power will go influence the hearts of the men in whose hands the welfare of our city so largely rests that they shall resist every effort put forth to make them violate the confildence that has been reposed in them and the honor that has been conferred upon them.” | INGLESIDE'S DUPES ! FILL SAN QUENTIN | EV. JOHN A. B. WILSON of the Howard-street Methodist Eplscopal Church discussed last evening “Things Forgotten Which Ought to Be Remembered.” During the course of his sermon he dwelt at length on the terri- ble results which would attend th opening »f Ingle He sald: “I am told that | must prepare fo other contest gamblers and T track men, who ex- pect to buy enouch of our Supervisors to open their demor- alization. Are there not already a surfi- clent number of men in San Quentin as the result of this in- iquity? Are there not enough of women iquity? Are there not enough of women leading nameless lives who were led down by one or the other of these evils? “First of all, while I do not believe that one Supervisor will vote to reopen this iniquity who is not bribed to do so, yet 1 do not believe that we elected that kind last fall. This whole matter seems as though it must be a false alarm. But it is a good thing to be alarmed about. The Ingleside racetrack must not be reopened. The open gambling games must be sup- | pressed. There is not, I believe, one hon- est race run anywhere about this city. There is not one honest game played. There is not one straight nickel-in-the- slot machine. “The amazing thing is that attorneys disgracing an honorable profession can be found sufficiently low as to present such a proposition. But these legal prostitutes are always in evidence when some new method of corrupting public morals is to be exploited—men who can sell their in- telligence and the honor of their profes- sion (personally they have none) for the hire or iniquity. I hesitate not to say that the poor prostitute who sells her body to whoever will buy is a vestal vir- gin in moral character compared with these worse than shysters. Has not San Francisco become the open sore of muni- cipal America to an extent sufficient? For what did the good citizenship combine to rescue the new charter and fight for the election of our present officials, with the increased power conferred by the char- ter? Was it not to retain what little »ad REV. J. A. B. WILSON been secured looking to a better and safer condition and to make possible the bring- ing of our beautiful ecity in its public standards up at least in rights to those of other cities of our country? I am glad to be a citizen of San Francisco, but I am tired of being told by every slght!e‘:lnfi stranger: ‘Yours is the most open an th; hmosl corrupt city I have seen on earth. “I canno think that this danger Is reai, but the mere suggestion of a possibility should arouse the public consclence and stir evi ne &cr and pulpit to an out- cry. m nows that it was the noto: dishonesty of Ingleside that com; closing before.” who thrive at the expense of t{zz The Board of Supervis- — ITS ENTRANCE IS THE GATE TO HELL T the Stewart Memorial United Pres- byterian Church last evening Rev. | ‘W. E. Dugan, the pastor, raised a volce against the polluting influence of | the poolrooms and the misery resulting | from Ingleside, to which the Super- visors cannot turn a deaf ear. The pre- lude to his sermon follows: “I cannot think that the present Su- pervisors will stain thelr record by even listening to a_peti- | tion to reopen Ingle- | side. To open this track is to swing open a door that leads by a short| route to" the hell of | this and the othcr | world. The Immoral | influence of the racetrack, as carried on at Ingleside, is beyond all conception. If the Supervisors consent to open the gambling vice, they will immerse them- selves In as black a crime as if they turned a train load of hungry tigers loose in the streets of our city. ‘“We have shoved the black-hearted, blear-eyed, bloodthristy monster across | the county line, and in the name of the | purity of the woman and the integrity of the man let us throttle this great in- iquity when it attempts to-morrow even- ing to shove {its blood-stained paw into our midst. If we give this hell-hearted monster a foothold, it will pounce upon our city with all the ferocity of a cruel, savage, hungry panther, reared and tan- talized by the savagery of perdition. “Let our Supervisors remember that to reopen the Ingleside track means that every inch of it will be paved with | wrecked characters, blasted hopes and ruined homes, and cemented bK human blood. No business house of the city is safe with its employes as patrons of gam- biing Institutions. If we are going to li- cense such criminality ag is inseparably connected with a gambling racetrack, why not license pickpockets, burglars and | all classes of parasites feeding and fatten- ing on a downtrodden public? ‘“The friction from the crushed charac- ters, hopes and fortunes, which the agent of hell has already hurled down to ruin, lights a flame that burns away everz ex- cuse for reopening the avenue of blood and plunder. ‘Oh, beautiful San Francisco, queen of REV. W. E. DUGAN,’ the Pacific, with thy countenance of | spnrkllnf like polished diamonds an ocean of gold, rise in the name of hu- manity and wash your hands from the polluting crime bound up in racetrack gambling.” 0050000000000 0 JOSEPH KORBEL DIES AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS Joseph Korbel, a member of the firm of F. Korbel & Bros., cigar-box manufac- turers at 723 Bryant -treet, passed away yesterday, after a short illness, at the fallfixlly residence, which adjoins their big mill. Deceased was one of the most important figures in the German colony of this city, a leading member of all the German so- cleties. and one of the owners of one:of the largest vineyards in the State. It is located at Korbel Station, Sonoma Coun- ty, and had branches in San Francisco and Chicago. He also controlled a large lumber tract at Arcata, Humboldt Coun- ty, which furnished material for the mills in operation in that county and in San Francisco. Deceased was the founder of the Wasp, and the discoverer of Keppler, the car- toonist, who finally became world famous. Mr. Korbel was born in Bohemia in March, lo#4, and came to this country with his brother, Francis Korbel. when quite a young man. They established a business in this city, and to-day it is rated as one of the big industries. Services over tne body will be held at the family residence on Wednesday morn- | ing. The interment will be in Odd Fel- lows' Cemetery. —_———— Ladies’ fine Kid Ties, worth $250, for only %c a pair at the-sale of shoes, 717 Market street, near Third. 2 ———— Accidentally Asphyxiated.

JOHN HEMPHILL of Calvary Presbyterian Church urged the mem- bers of his congregation last evening to use their personal influence with the Supervisors to maintdin the Dbarrier against Ingleside and the downtown poolrooms. Refer- ring to the evil of the places, he said: “I know some- thing of the state of morality in our land, for 1 have la- bored both East and West, and I know that I speak the truth when I say that the church- es have done more the promotion pure morality than all legislative enactments and pe- nal inflictions. It the churches do not REV. JOHN HEMPHILL. stand for moral purification, they stand for nothing. I am informed that an effort is on foot to reopen the Ingleside race track. 1 am opposed to the race track be- cause the race track is opposed to good morals. I have seen women returning from the race track bedraggled, feverish, excited, with the gleam of gambling, gains or losses, in their blood-shot eyes. I do not think such_women make good wives | and mothers. I do not think that Is the stuff for the moral upbuilding of our city. But ‘open the race track,’ we are told, ‘and it attracts people to our city who will spend money with a free hand.’ So does the carrion attract the buzzard; but we want neither buzzard nor carrion. There is financial galn that is.moral loss, and there is financial loss that is moral gain. They are talking of a new sewer system for Greater San Francisco. The churches should do their duty in keeping the moral sewers clean. I am opposed to the opening of Ingleside, and I know that this church is a unit behind me. Do you know any of our city fathers? Use your influence with them, and do what you can to prevent iniquity from coming in upon us like a flood. As a church, let us stand for the moral uplifting of our city.” FUTURE OF YOUTH HANGS IN BALANCE EV. DR. HUTSINPILLER of Central M. E. Church spoke yesterday morn- ing on the topic, ‘“Where Shall the Boy Be Found?” and In the evening on “The Mistake of the Young Man.” He referred in both ser- mons to the neces- sity of making it as probable as possible that a boy should be found on the way to noble manhood, and that should arena of manly pur- suits full of hope and girded with the best hablits. This was in line to clear and relevant re- marks concerning the opening of the Ingleside track. Brl_;_f;lly he sald:l 5 “The gospel o ms Christlanity is the S-D- HUTSINPILLER open gate and the highway for manhood, and whatever hinders this deserves the enmity and constant opposition of all who believe in developing out of young men and happy ohildhood a type of moral and splendid manliness. Would to God that we ‘could engage all men in helping the boys nto industrious, sober, honest, clean citizenship. It ought not to take press and pulpit and school teacher ang re- former and mass-meeting to teach our city governments that it is ever wise and economical and right to eliminate and banish centers and fountains of swift and flowing temptation from those who throng our city. Whatever cultivates and fos- ters the desire for undue excitement, the passion for gambling, the desire to get something for nothing or much for little is a_menace to the boy. “If the facts are clear to us, we can see clearly and with anxiety that the proposed opening of Ingleside racetrack and the attendant temptations is a men- | ace to the already overtempted and much | excited and susceptible youth of our city. Pool dealing in general and particular is wastefulness. Granting that men must have recreation and some sport, no sensi- ble man is willing to concede that what has proved a nuisance in the past and was closed because it was bad in its ef- fects on the morals and manhood of the city—yes, and the womanhood, too—no clear-brained man, I say, is ready to con- cede that the Board of Supervisors of our city can open again this avenue to gamb- ling and wastefulness.” 0305 0000000000000000000 JEWISH CAKEWALK WAS GREATLY ENJOYED A decided novelty was introduced by the Hebrew artists, Jullus Rosenwasser and A. Tanzman, at the benefit given last night to Rosenwasser at Odd Fellows' Hlll."Xt consisted of the ‘‘Hebrew cake- walk,” and was greatly enjoyed by a large audience. Tanzman was attired in the ancient costume of the Polish Jew, and Rosenwasser assumed the femaie part. The act was a travesty on the pop- ular negro cakewalk, in which the two artists sang the "Ragllme Song" to He- brew words, composed by Mr. Rosenwas- ser. The evolutions of the pair were de- cldedly amusing, and had to be repeated. The great musical comedy, “The Miser; or, e Merchant of Russia,” was also presented, with the following cast: Gronom, a miser, A. Tarzman; Salmon, a merchant, S. Greenberg: Leah, his wife, Mme. F. Greenberg: Rachel, their daughter, Miss M. Schneider; Sleskind, a lottery agent, I. Fried- lander; Nachmon, a letter carrier, Leff; Chajem, a retired merch: Lemke, a match- maker, ‘Josef, Rachel's lover, Pessej, Salmon's cook, Jullus Rosenwasser; musical leader, Pro- fessor Maurice Rose. During the action of the play the follow- ing songs were sung: *Marriage is Good, A. Tanzman; “When I Was a Cook"; “Jewish Serenade”; ‘“‘Because I Love You" (in Hebrew). Julius Rosenwasser; duet, “Promise to Be True,”.J. Rosenwas- ser and Miss ‘M. Schneide —_————— Struck by a Boom.
