M. Drew, president of the organiza- | tion. A large number of delegates are | present at the convention, the southern | counties being exceptionally well rep- resented. Among the delegates there | is much enthusiasm and when the con- | vention was called to order the mem- | bers settled down to work with readi- | ness and withotit a hitch. The feature of the morning session was an address of welcome hy Dr. Dickenson of Ceres, who struck the| keynote of the convention and received hearty applause when he said: “Mr. Chairman and friends—The pleasure and duty falls to me to extend to you a word of welcome. I do this gladly because you come as the repre- sentatives of a cause which is just now paramount in our thoughts and upon which will depend much of the success | and prosperity of the country in the future. It depends chiefly upon the variable factor in our physical envi- ronments which we call weather. The man who helps to eliminate from the industry of agriculture its uncertain! elements and substitutes for them a| measure of assurance and certainty is | a benefactor of the race. He who can help us to control a timely and propor- | tionate distribution of moisture over | the world’s productive fields does a | greater service than he who harnesses | the steam in the interests of traffic, for 1 duction and depending upon fit. We‘ welcome you as the representatives of | that science which is to control and distribute the waters over our arid lands. The discussions and conclusions | of such a body as this is of greater im- portance to the life and well being of our nation than those of any sociolog- ical or political bodies.” The remainder of the morning was spent -in the organization of the con- vention, the appointment of committees and other work. On the committee on ! resolutions were appointed Scipio | Craig of Redlands, John G. Worth of | Riverside, Elwood Mead of the State University, R. D. McPherson of Impe- | rial and L. L. Dennett of Stanislaus. Addresses were delivered in the after- noon and evening by Elwood Mead, A. M. Drew and others.

During the fore- | noon several resolutions favoring a | stricter canon on marriage and divorce ' were referred to a committee. The divorce matter again came to the fore through a resolution by George | Foster Peabody of Brooklyn, calling for the appointment of twelve‘'mem- bers of both houses to consider | the entire question and report to the next general convention. The commit- | | tee is to confer with other religious T bodies as to some uniform standard of legislation bearing on marriage and di- | vorce. It was referred to the commit- | | tee on canons. : i A joint commission, appointed three | years ago, presented an extended re-" port, recommending that all dioceses | ; and missionary districts be grouped to | seven provinces, each province to have { authority to legislate on matters which | | | do not conflict with the general con- | vention.

The nominations will have to be ratified by the House of Deputies to become | effective, i | The House of Bishops to-day adopted | the following secticn as part of the! canon on divorce: { “The judgment of the Bishop shall | | always be taken before a divorced per- | | son, who has a former husband or wife &till living and ‘who is married to | another, may be confirmed or permit- | ted to receive the holy communion; provided, that the sacraments shall in | no case be refused to any penitent per- | son in imminent danger of death, nor ! to the innocent party in a divorce | | grantea for adultery.” | The effect of this action is to make | the regulations of the church more | binding and more definite. In the House of Deputies the commit- | tee on amendments to the constitution | reported a deflnition of the words | “within the boundaries of the United | States.” The committee construed that phrase in the constitution to mean all terri- | tory and possessions within the juris- diction of the United States, and not merely that territory lying between the Atlantic and Pacific and betweer Can- ada and Mexico. The House voted to accept the definition as presented. T. F.

CITIZENS' ALLIANCE ISSUES CIRCULAR Says It Is Out of General Politics, but Indorses Certain Judicial Candidates, The following circular letter has been issued by the Citizens’ Alliance of San Francisco to members, asking them to vote for and urge the election the judicial the resolution of the candidates for bench mentioned in embodied in the letter: October 11, 1904. To Members: The executive committee of the Citizens' Alllance has absolutely decided to keep politics out of the organization, and the organization out of politics, and believes it would be a great mistake to undertake to as- sert itself positively by placing a ticket on the official ballot. The success of our association, however, de- pends largely upon the fairness and honesty of the judiciary. We must have less and unbiased .Judges to successfully main tain law and order. A movement is on feot to elevate well-known labor sympathizers to the bench at the expense of the incumbents. In the opinion of the executive committee the election of men pledged to class politics would greatly retard the work of the Citizens' Alli- ance, and for the purpose of enlightening our members the executive committee met on Sat- rday, October 8, and adopted the resolution which appears below. It is not our desire to dictate to members, but we urge upon all of them the importancs of lending their assistance at this time to the end that a better understanding may be brought about between employer and employe, and a condition of industrial equilibrium estab- lished: Whereas, At the coming municipal election four Superior Judges are to be elected for & term of six years; 4 Whereas, It is ‘essential to the welfare of this community that upright and independent men should be elected to.the bench; and Whereas, The importance of the judiclal of- fice is such that the individuals best qualified for the public service should be supported, apart from considerations of political faith or party indorsement; and Whereas, The incumbents—the Hon. J. M. Seawell, Hon. James M. Troutt, Hon. Frank J Murasky and the Hon. Frank H. Kerrigan— have, during their respective terms upon the bench, now about expiring, demonstrated their fitness for the judicial office and have by the faithful execution of their duties as Judges won the right to re-election; now, therefore, be. it Resolved, That the Citjzens’ Alliance favors the election of the above named candidates, and recommends that every member of the al- liance do all in his power to secure their re- election. In complance With the order of the execu- tive committee, 1 take pleasure in herewith placing before you the above resolution, trust- ing it will be accepted in the spirit meant, and that all will make It their business to go to the polls on election day and exercise their rights as American citizens to éncourage a ju- diclary we are warranted In belleving feel disposed to lay aside partisan politics, or class politics, etc., and decide legal questions upon thefr merits. and _hand down decisions along t fustice.

The genuineness of M HAYS GIVES (P HIGH POSITION Resigns Post of General Manager of the Canadian Grand Trunk Pacifie P TR S Special Dispatch to The Call. MONTREAL, Ont., Oct. 18.—Canada is considerably upset to-night by news from London of the resignation Charles M. Hays, second vice president and general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway system and general manager of the proposed Grand Trunk Pacific, which is to run across the con- tinent and rival in every particular the Canadian Pacific Railway. The building of the new road, which will cost the Government of Canada $113,000,000, and which is to be turned over to the Grand Trunk, is one of the main issues upon which the present election is being fought, and November 3 next is being looked forward to with profound anxiety by both the Liberal party, now in power, and the Conserv- atives. In the midst of this anxiety comes the resignation of Hays. «What has brought it about is mere cojecture, as far as has been learned as yet. It is assumed here that some trouble has arisen in connection with the Pacific extensi-~ of the Grand Trunk, and there is fear that the project may fail. Hays was the most conspicuous figure in making Pacific Coast plans. It is declared by many that Hays has fallen out with Sir Wil- frid Laurier over details of the scheme.
