Francisco, was recovered from the bay this morning off Cypress Point, | Pacific Grove. cific Grove on August 11, and that night wrote to his wife informing her that he intended to commit suicide. He was not seen after having posted the ! letter and it is believed that he soon | afterward drowned himself. | Preston was employed in the con- struction department of the United Railroads and resided with his wife at 206 Fillmore street. He left home sud- denly on August 11 and later wrote his | wife, stating that he was about to end { his life. Preston had been mentally un- | balanced for some time and has often threatened to do away with himself. He was a native of England and 40 vears old. He had been a resident of this city for more than twenty years. | —_—————————— | | PAPER READ AGAINST E LITERATURE OBSC] | PRI e A ! Dr. Keast at Epworth Methodist Last Evening Again Attacks Im- i moral Publications. | The Mission Federation of Churches | m& last evening in the Epworth Meth- odist Church at the corner of Twenty- sixth and Church streets. Reverend F. A. Keast, the pastor, read a paper | on the subject of “Obscene Literature,™ | which was the topic of an address de- | livered in this church recently. | Dr. Keast dweit principally on the suppression of the vice and why it was not done. He held that the matter was ! wholly in the hands of the Police De- | partment. Part of the failure to sup- | press this and all lawlessness lay at | the doors of the police courts. The po- | lice officers thémselves complain that often they cannot get convictions even parent. Dr. Keast holds that the saloon is not directly responsible for the existence and circulation of obscene literature, but the evil springs from social im- morality and impurity. Obscenity is a feeder of these conditions. It corrupts | the mind and when that is corrupt the stronghold on character is destroyed. NSO — ! JUVENILE PERFORMERS GIVE TERTAINMENT | Youngsters of the Columbia Park | Boys' Club Win Praise by Their Clever Acts. | The juvenile members of the Co- 1lumbia Park Boys' Club gave a clever i vaudeville entertainment last night at ! Native Sons’ Hall, which was attended by a large audience. The show was unusually good and credit is due to Sidney S. Piexotto for | the way he drilled the youngsters in | their various acts. The boys ranged |from 8 to 15 years in age, but they handled their parts like experienced 'artists. | A concert by the club's military | banfl of twenty-four pieces opened the | show. |cored after rendering several selec- tions. { George Schlitter and three of his! ! pupils went through a swinging club 'act with torchlights,which was novel land brilliant. A one-act sketch en- ; titled “'Si Perkins Looking for a Farm | Boy” kept the audience in laughter throughout. A double trio of boy voices sang two selections in a pleas- ing manner. Several other acts | brought praise to the young perform- ers. —_————— MISTAKES CITY OFFICIAL cense Collector Simpson to Leave Town. | Simpson and Deputy Frank Foley | were walking down Market street, mm to leave town at once. “I am License Collector Simpson,” said Simpson. “I will not leave town. Who are you, anyhow?” *Oh, I've heard that before,” said Ryan, throwing back his coat and | displaying his badge, “Detective Ser- geant No. 18.” “Now take my advice and get out of town.” “Well,” said Simpson, who by this time was mad cléar through, “I must say vou are as big a fool as you look,” and then Simpson walked away. The two detectives trailed after Simpson for half a block, but realized that thev had made a mistake and re- tired from the scene. —_— “Man of Destiny” Draws. A forceful and brilliant impersona- tion of Napoleon was given last night by Arnold Daly in Shaw's comedy, ! “The Man of Destiny,” presented as a double bill with “Candida” | Columbia. Miss Donnelly, who has the part of the beguiling “Lady” in the play, is a delightful second to Mr. Daly. Miss Donnelly develops a wit, archness and spirit in the character that are indeed only hinted at in her Candida. The little drama runs for an hour and thirteen minutes and in them Shaw and Mr. Daly combine to picture of “The Man of Destiny.” The scene is played almost entirely be-, tween the two chief characters, and | the interest is white-hot almost| throughout. There was much ap- plause, particularly for apoleon’s anti-pro English speech. is double bill will be given up to and including Sunday night. m‘n‘:-' vhmnrhic print- I e ool siariet Direst. 8% \ IN BAY W&TERS!
