OAKLAND, C .—Denial is made by the four daughters of Nelson Bump in papers filed with the County Clerk to-day of the charge made by their stepmother, Mrs. Sarah Bump, of having unduly influenced their father against the wife when he made his will. Bump died a year ago, leav- ing an estate valued at about $50,000. Mrs. Bump, dissatisfied with her share of the estate, brought suit to contest the will and alleged that her husband had been unduly influenced against her by the daughters, her stepchil- dren.

Christian Scientist Church Members Must Abandon Clubs Mrs. Eddy Issues a Strange Edict That Moves Women to Talk, —— T | HEAD OF THE CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS WHO HAS ISSUED AN EDICT RE- QUIRIN! L] HER FEMALE FOLLOWERS TO WITHDRAW FROM WOMEN'S CLUBS AND HEAD OF THE SBECT IN OAKLAND. — e R—N OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—"Members an the mother church shall not be made] members of clubs or organizations, the | Freemasons excepted, which shall ex- clude either sex or are not named in the manual of the mother church. God separates the tares from the wheat to garner the latter in his storehouses.” Such is the edict that has been issued by the Christian Scientists of the United States at the instance of Mary Baker Eddy, acknowledged head of the cult. Promulgation of the order has stirred the women’s clubs of this city | Though the movemeént | toward withdrawal of members has not | to the centers. been sufficiently strong to warrant se- rious consideration as to status, there *has been no little discussion among the club women, as it is known there are many such who are affiliated with the Christian Scientists. That there has been a resignation of | members from the Ebell Society is the understanding of ; Elmer McBurney, temporarily filling the place of the Rev. F. J. Fluno, as head of the Christian Sclence Church of Oakland. So far as the leaders are concerned they de- fend Mrs. Eddy’s dictum and aossert that it is entirely consistent with the general tendencies of the teachings. McBurney is borne out in his state- ments as to withdrawal of Christian Scientists from interdicted clubs by | Mrs. D. C. Borland, a member of the ‘Ebell, who says several members have retired in accordance with the order rather .than to stand against the church of their belief. The direction to the Scientists ap- pears in & recently issued church man- ual as oné of the by-laws adopted by the general board of directors. It is set forth under a caption “Church Or- ganization Ample.” The publicity given the rule and the effect it must have in compelling faithful members to choose between their club or their church has aroused wide discussion in the church, and among the clubs where Christian Scientists have been en- rolled. Here is an opinion from Alfred Farlow of Boston, Mass., touching the much-agitated by-law: I find that the majority favor Mrs. Eddy's It has long been noted that the grow- ing interest in clubs and organizations outside the church and home, and especially those clubs which segregate the sexes, have sup- ported the growing tendency to disunion in the church and home. * ® * The action of the Christian Science Church is not intended to depreciate in any degree the good accom- plished by fraternal orders, but simply points to another way of doing It. The Christian Science Church, however, does not propose to dictate terms to other denominations: nor to interfers in any way with the fraternal or- sanizations and clubs; it only asks the priv- ilege of accomplishing within itself the ends for which .such organizations are ‘thereby unifying the motives and efforts of its members. Elmer McBurney said: This edict is & by-law of the church and Mrs. J. B. Hume, president of the Ebell Society, gaid to-night: Mrs. * Eddy’s our members with fect_on the clul resignations since the, law was promulgated trace the cause of withdrawal to the order, though it s guite -possible “that it has had its effect on eome Christian Scientists.

W. Stidham believes that Cor- ' oners_are relics of the dark ages, an expensive attachment to county gov- ernment, and could be dispensed with to advantage and without endangering the rights of the populace. These are substantially the views expressed by the physician in talking of the case of two-year-old Raymond Reese, who died Tuesday from phosphorous poison- ing, due to eating matches, and who was buried Wednesday by Deputy Cor- oner James Fowler without the formal- ity of an inquest. Coroner H. B. Mehrmann has de- clared that he will order an investiga- tion of the case and in It will be in- volved Dr. Maurice W. Brown, who signed the child’s death certificate. Health Officer Stidham, who signed the burial permit, and Deputy Coroner Fowler. Concerning the part he took in the matter Health Officer Stidham said: The death certificats of the Reese chily was signed by Dr. Brown, a reputable physician, and on the strength of that document 1 issued the burial permit. The certificate asserts tha death was due to phosphorous poisoning an 1 am satisfied that that was correct. I did not deem it was a case for the Coroner to investigate, as the cause of the child’s death was apparent and there was nothing further to investigate. Coroners are relics of past ages and expensive to the poor man, Every inquest costs the taxpayers no less than $25, and what are the resulting benefits? I do not recall an inquest in Alameda County in siv years that recompensed the taxpayers for what it cost. Reputable physiclans can be depended upon to give the cause of death and the Coroner accomplishes but little, if any, more. I know of more than one instance where verdicte were brought in that were not in accordance with the circumstances attend- ing the death of the person upon whom the inquest was held. If such things can be, what is the use of Coroners' investigations? Deputy Coroner Fowler asserts that he was acting within his sphere as an undertaker when he buried the Reese child. He affirms that after Dr. Brown signed the death certificate and Dr. Stidham issued the burial permit he proceeded legally in conducting the funeral. Dr. Brown is at present out of the city. —_————— LEFT HIS WIFE FOR ACTRESS’ COMPANY Court Hears Mrs. Arnett’s Story and Grants Divorce Decree. OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—Mrs. Minnie Arnett succeeded in convincing Judge Ogden in thirty minutes this after- noon that her husband had left her for the company of an actress of whom he had become enamored. She alieged desertion and incidentally said that Charles Arnett had contributed little or nothing for the support of herself and one child. “Take your de- cree,” said Judge Ogden, after listen- ing to the woman’s simple story.’ REPORTS ON WORK OF Y. W. C. A.— STATE'S BOOM AT ST. LOUES Wilbur Walker Home From Fair Commending Califor- nia’s Wonderful Exhibit PRAISES WORK OF CALL Its Publication of Alameda County News Is Proving Beneficial in the Fast S Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oct. T Wilbur Walker, secretary of the Alameda County World’s Fair Asso- ciation, returned from St. Louis to- day filled with ideas about the ad- vancement of California and of Ala- meda County in particular. Mr. Walk- er made a complete and exhaustive examination Into the methods of “booming,” and he has some ideas that he will advance to the different commercial organizations of Oakland. He especially praises the work of The Call for Oakland and Alameda Coun- ty. This is what Mr. Walker had to say: California is going to reap a great deal of benefit from its exhibit at the St. Louls Fair. Other States have good exhibits, but California is the only one in the Union that has both a State buliding and a separate display from each county. California has really twenty- two exhibits and there are eighty people rep- resenting this commonwealth. The result is that California is being advertised as is no other State in the Union. 1 have not noticed any of the rivalry be- tween sections of California that is supposed to exist. On the other hand, I have noticed that “California” is being made the great war cry of all of those conmected with the different a ays. There is one thing that I shall advocate at all times and in all places—that the people of Oakland do everything in their power to get the other San Francisco papers to follow the example of The Call. The Call, though a San Franeisco paper, has done a wonderful vork for Alameda County. Hundreds of San icisco papers are being circulated in St. but In only one can any Oakland news be found, and that onme is The Call. When a man becomes interested in California he buys a California paper. If he buys a Call he finds out that there is such a place as Alameda County, that we have here the State univer- sity, that we have a great city and great prospects. 1f he buys any other paper there is no reference to Oakland unless it be some sensational story that does not reflect credit upon the community. The people who are working for the advancement of this side of the bay owe much to The Call and it is only when they go Fast that they fully realize it. FASHION’S DAY. By Zoe Green Radcliffe. OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—As a slender sapling in the blast, 8o is custom inclined and twisted by soclety's whim. Saturday, that erstwhile was given over to plebeians and others at the foot of the social ladder, is now favored of the smart set—it has recelved the stamp of tashion’s approval, and no day in the week is g0 crowded with affairs that demand the so- clety maid's or matron's attention. Each day of the past week has held its meed of soclal pleasure, but to-morrow’s cal- endar 1s filled and overflowing. The bazaar for St. Paul's Chancel Chapter at Bbell will of course call out the charitably inclined as well as the devotee of fashion, Mrs. William Lynham Shiels' afternoon for her two little daughters is for to-morrow, and the big tea that Mrs. Will Bacon, Miss Chapman and Miss Mecartney are giving for Miss Tisdale is also a Saturday event Mrs. Larkey and Miss Ida Larkey will add to to-morrow’s festivity with an informal tea for Mrs. Melville Dozier, and the first assem- bly of the Saturday Night Club will round up the day. It begins to look as it the weather clerk had a grudge against the ladies of St. Paul's. Their bazaar wa bhave been an al fresco affair two weeks ago, but the deluge that dazed even the oldest inhabitant necessitated a postponement thereof. Another date, the Sth, was selected, and now a drizzling attempt at rain forbode a dismal to-morrow. But the cheeriness of such women as Mrs. Harrison Mrs. Wheaton, Miss Florinne Brown, the charming Oliver girls and the scores of others who_will be in attendance ought to furnish sunshine enough for the darkest day. Ebell, which is pretty without decoration, will be in gayest gala attire, and with all the gorgeous booths and thelr fascinating attendants there promises to be no pleasanter place in Oakiand to-morrow than the indoor “garden fete” at Ebell. Visitors should go early, too, and stay late, for a splendid programme by such weil- known musicians as Miss Winifred June Mor- gan, Miss Emmabelle Zucker, Mrs. Maxwell Taft, Lowell Redfield and Ernest McCandlish is to be given, and no one number can be missed without'an_artistic loss. A pretty little coterle of girls and young matrons gathered at Miss Pope's home to-day to honor Miss Fore. among the guests being Miss Fore, Miss Nathalie Fore, Miss Claire Chabot, Miss Ethel Valentine, Miss Grace Baldwin, Miss Edith Gaskill, Miss Jane Crel- 1in, Miss Grace Sanborn, Miss Knowles, Miss Ruth Knowles, Mrs. Philip Clay, Mrs. E.

OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—The estate of Johanna Harrigan, an aged domestic of San Francisco, who died in this city on August 10, is to be taken in charge by Public Administrator Hynes of San Francisco, despite the efforts of Public Administrator Gray to be de- clared by the court the proper of- ficial to act in the matter. Argument in the contest between the rival Ad- ministrators was made by attorneys for the officials before Judge Hall to- day and the decision favored Admin- istrator Hynes of San Francisco. Mrs. Harrigan had lived in San Francisco for many years and accumulated a small fortune from her savings. She was visiting friends in Oakland when she died and the court conclud- ed that despite this circumstance her estate should be administered in San Francisco. —_————————— S DEATH OF WILLIAM WHALLEY.—Ala- meda, Oct. 7.—Willlam Whalley dled this after- noon at the Alameda Sanitarium.

After withholding for three months | information that might have led to the arrest of a counterfeiting gang, or at least the confiscation of an outfit, Spe- cial Policeman George Sprague to-day admitted to Chief of Police Hodgkins his dereliction. Sprague was summon- ed to police headquarters this after- noon and made a statement which in- volves Mrs. George Lane, formerly re- siding at 756 Harrison street, but whose whereabouts is unknown to the po- lice. Sprague told the Chief of Police that Mrs. Lane, at whose home the special officer had resided, several months ago showed him a number of plaster of paris molds for the manufacture of counterfeit coins. The casts were pre- pared for five, ten, twenty-five and fifty cent pieces. Sprague asserted that the paraphernalia had been in Mrs. Lane's possession and that she had explained to him in some detail the purposes for which the molds were | intended. But the episode did not strongly enough impress itself on Sprague until a short time ago, when the special po- liceman confided in A. McDiarmid, a private detective, residing at 677 Sixth street. Through that source knowledge of the circumstance was imparted to Harry Moffitt, a United States Secret Service agent. Investigation was made, but it was too late. Mrs. Lane had dis- appeared. Not until to-day did the Chief of Po- lice get information of the affair. He sharply queried Sprague and demanded to know why the officer had so long withheld his knowledge of the matter. Sprague was asked if it were not true that he had kept the cir- cumstances a secret until after he had had a falling out with Mrs. Lane. This he did not deny. He ad- mitted to Hodgkins that hope of a reward had also induced him to talk about the matter, when he had finally decided to disclose the incident to Me- Diarmid. Chief Hodgkins will lay the case be- fore the Police Commissioners. The police to-night searched the resi- dence formerly occupied by Mrs. Lane and found the models that Sprague said his landlady had shown to him. The plaster outfit will be turned over to the United States Secret Service for such disposition as the Government authori- | ties decide to make of the case. e WITHDRAWS DEMURRER TO HIS WIFE'S SUIT Alexander Barrie Will Contest Her Application for a Divorce, Fighting Case on Original Issues. OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—Attorneys rep- resenting Alexander Barrie cleared the way to-day for a hearing of his divorce suit without regard to tech- nicalities by withdrawing Barrie’s de- murrer to a cross-complaint made by his wife, who contests the action. Barrie, a commercial traveler of Berkeley, was sued for divorce a year ago. His wife charged him with making the home atmosphere such as to corrupt the morals of their young daughter. Fred Wade, a nephew, with also a niece of Barrie residing in the home, was implicated in Mrs. Barrie's charges of wrong doing against her husband. The woman declared that Barrie and Wade procured her incarceration in an asylum, when, as she alleged, she was perfectly sane. Judge Og- den denied her a divorce. Barrie promptly brought suit for divorce, al- leging cruelty. . His wife responded with a cross-complaint, charging him with unfaithfulness. . His demurrer to this cross-complaint was filed some time ago, but was withdrawn to-day, it being Barrie’s purpose to permit the case to be tried without giving at- tention to the technicalities. —_———— FOR AGRICUITURE BUILDING AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY State Grange Adopts Resolutions Call- ing for Measures in the Interest of the Farmers. OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—After adopting resolutions calling upon the Legisla- ture to pass laws designed to fur- ther the agricultural interests of Cal- ifornia the State Grange adjourned to-night sine die. The grange asks the Legislature to appropriate a sum sufficient to erect buildings for a college of agriculture j at the State University and to secure land for an experimental station there. Other resolutions approved by the grange call for a law making instruc- tion in agriculture part of the course of study in rural schools, suggest the passage of more equitable taxation laws and favor equal suffrage.

Erik O. Lindblom, a mining million- aire of Alaska, to-day alleged in a pe- tition for a writ of review that property in Berkeley belonging to him worth $15,000 has been sold to a collection agency in satisfaction of a judgment against him amounting to $130. Lind- | blom declares that no summons in this suit for $130 was served, nor notice of substitution when the original plaintiff assigned his judgment against Lind- blom to the collection agency. Judge Quinn’s court is made defend- ant in Lindblom’s proceeding, as the acts complained of were done under the authority of Justice Quinn. In this court on May 1, 1904, C. E. Scofleld se- cured judgment against the millionaire for $130. Scofield assigned his judgment to the Wellman-Robbins Mercantile Agency. To the agency’'s attorney, J. A. Taylor, was then sold Lindblom’s realty in Berkeley, at Warring street and Dwight way, the alleged value of the realty being $15,000, to satisfy the judgment. Lindblom has since been Informed of the proceeding and desires that it be reviewed and corrected in the particu- lars which he says are defective. ———————— STUDENT PAPER CRITICIZES RED TAPE AT UNIVERSITY Charges the Authorities With Causing Postponement of the Annual Senior Assembly. BERKELEY, Oct. 7.—Editor W. T. Hale of the Dally Californian has is- sued a statement In criticlsm of the authorities of the university for caus- ing the postponment of the senior as- sembly, the dance held annually in Hearst Hall. The editorial outlines the action taken by the students in petitioning President Wheeler for the use of Hearst Hall, the reference of the pe- tition to the faculty committee upon student affairs, the failure of that committee to consider the matter, the repeated application to Acting Secce- tary Henderson, who walted until President Wheeler's return from the East, and the final arrival of the date for the assembly witheut -the neces- sary permission having been granted. It denounces the red tape used by the ‘authorities and concludes: Now this 1s not exasperating. The manage- ment may think so, but it is not. It is highly pleasant and diverting. We are just begin- ning to realize the significance of the ‘red tape” jokes cracked from time immemorial. If it takes this amount of the scarlet article to determine the disposition of one university building on a particular night, what tons must be required to decide a really important macter! Perhaps the most diverting featurs of the performance is the skillful and consistent side- stepping of the issue which has gone on all along the line. Each party concerned passes the buck along to the next one, thereby pre- venting the responsibility from locating in a definite spot. The result of this system ls easy to sec. The negotiations are in exactly the position that they wers four weeks ago, when application was first made; they have traveled in a circle. —————— NENOWN MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF IN OAKLAND Nothing Found on the Body to Indi- cate Who He Was. OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—An unidentified man about 45 years old committed sui- cide at 7:30 o'clock this evening at the Plaza, Eleventh and Harrison streets, by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. The shot at- tracted the attention of passers-by and the man was removed to the Receiving Hospital, but he was dead when placed on the operating table. The body was removed to the morgue. He was dressed in a black sack coat, black striped pants, black satin shirt, gray cap and black lace shoes. The socks were gray and the underwear was of good quality. Nothing was found in the pockets by which the re- mains could be identified. The ap- pearance of the man’s hands indicated that he was an iron worker or ma- chinist, May Postpone “Ajax.” BERKELEY, Oct. 7.—The students’ presentation of Sophocles’ “Ajax,” which is scheduled to be presented at the Greek Theater October 13, may be postponed.

If Miss Barrows s confined to her home for but a few days longer the play will of necessity be postponed.
