OAKLAND, May McGinnis, residing at 508 Telegraph avenue, reported to the police to- night the disappearance of her 10- rear-old daughter, Birdie, during the morning hours.

A num- ber of articles of clothing belonging to the latter were also missing.

HAYWARDS, May 6.—Norma Mar- ti, 16 years of age, was attacked last night shortly after sundown in the public park while on her way home. The girl was seized by a man, who suddenly caught her by the throat from behind and attempted to drag his victim into the umderbrush off the main walk. Miss Marti struggled and fought so desperately that she managed to free herse!f from the choking hold upon her throat. With one scream of ter- ror the girl sprang away from her as- sailant and ran. Still crying for help, the attention of a passing pedestrian was attracted. The newcomer, a man, ran to the terrified girl’s assistance and escorted her out of harm’s way. Her assailant disappeared. —_—————— Rejects McMenomy's Claim. OAKLAND, May 6.—City Auditor A. H. Breed has rejected the demand of J. H.

The sum of it ali is that the congregation was not compatible and amicable disagree- ment was considered more appropriate than open warfare. The factions first manifestel them- selves four vears ago, but the differ- ences became more acute a year ago when the minority sought the removal of the pasior, the Rev. R. L. Halsey. on the ground that the church was not making progress. But the majority prevalled and ghat led to the informal withdrawal of the minority. Dr. Hal- sey remained as pastor until last No- vember, when he accepted a position as Government interpreter at Hawaii. After Dr. Halsey's withdrawal the minerity returned to the fold and sought a voice in the policles of the church. It sought most of all for the recall of two Sunday school classes that had withdrawn with it from the church at the time of the quarrel over Dr. Halsey. But the majority refused to accept the classes so that there was nothing else for the minority to do but to take permanent leave. The Rev. A. 8. Coats, who had been acting in Dr. Halsey’'s place, bent his efforts toward a reconciliation, but met only with failure. Cards of withdrawal were asked for by the minority, composed of some fifty members. Wednesday evening of this weer and last night a new con- | gregation was formed at a meeting in the home of E. R. Barnes of 222 Bancroft way. Dr. Coats, having cast his lot with the minority, was called as pastor, the following other officers being elected: soldler's memory ited to contributions of 25 cents: have names Iists already ben appended tes or former students of thé uni- » be welcomed at the monthly n of University of California men under aussices of the University California Club of San Frepcisco, to be held at 12:15 to-morrow” at the California Hotel.

It seems that the girls have fiot listened to Profes- sor Stephens with the rapt attention that should be theirs and really have turned his classes into a sewing bee. | This, of course, is all very annoying and when the historian could stand it no longer he burst out with these words: “I am greatly pleased with my classes as a whole, but there is one thing I cannot stand, and that is the continual buzz of talk that goes on in the back of the room while I am giving my lectures.

Argangements have been made to hold the first meeting at the Pacific Theological Seminary on Sunday next and future meetings at Stiles Hall until a church building is secured. 3 “I did everything in my power to reconclie the factions,” said Dr. Coats to-day, “but there are some things that never can be merded. Each side thinks it is conscientiously right: We have not questioned the right of any of the others to think as they please. No harsh things have bezent said and there will be no open quarreling. It is mere- ly a difference of opinion.” In the meantime the old church is not without a pastor. There are now two ministers among the congrega- tion, the Rev. John Barr and the Rev. C. M. Jones, who will supply the pulpit until another pastor is called. The leaders of the majority faction refuse to talk about the affair, preferring that the troubles be ended with as little talk as possible. Dr. Gilbert Shepherd, a deacon of the church, said to-day that there was no need for discussing the affair and therefore declines to talk, a position which he declared would be assumed by 4il the other Fire and Police Board Scts Monday as | the Day for Final Hearing. OAKLAND, May 6.—At a special meeting of the Board of Fire and Po- lice Commissioners to be held on Mon- day afternoon the charges preferred by John J. Mulvey, a crippled news- boy, against Patrolman John P. Scan- | lan will be heard. The charges grew out of an alleged assauit made by the policeman on the newsboy on March 24 and have already been disposed of in the Police Court, where Scanlan was ordered to pay a fine of $25 for battery. The Commissioners heard the charges read at their meeting this af- ternoon, but as Mulvey alone was present and no witnesses had been subpenaed they decided to set the case for z future hearing. —_— Weidler Not Yet Found.
