All of the evangelical churches of the city are ] from north to south and east to west of the city, and all of the pastors and most of the lady members are actively at work. The organization of a general com- was completed this afternoon. This committee, representing all de- nominations, is composed of both lay and ministerial delegates, will have charge of the general campaign, and will delegate district work to differ- ent churches and individuals. The chairman is Rev. E. E. Baker of the First Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. E. R. Dille of the First Methodist Church is the vice chairman. The sec- retary and treasurer are laymen, the former being S. P. Meads and the latter 8. M. Dodge, both prominent business men of Oakland. Earl 8. Bingham, one of the most popular and hardest of workers connected with the First Presbyterian Church, has been placed at the head of the publicity committee with the following as his assistants: Rev. 1. N, Halliday, Rev. H. B. Mowbry. There will be a special music committee with Dr. O. S. Dean as chairman and assistants in the per- sons of W. B. Raglin, H. W. Keifer, Dr. Ray E. Gilson and O. M. Vesper. The general plan was outlined to-day and is something new in religious work on this coast. The preliminary meet- ings will begin after the new year. From January 2 to January 7 there will be a week of prayer in all of the churches of Oakland, with an ex- change of ministers each evening. The details of these meetings will be ar- ranged by the general committee later, but there will be a new minister in charge of each meeting in each church during this week. In February there will be a reries cottage meetings. These meetings will be held on each Monday evening in February in private houses. There will be one hundred of these meetings every Monday night, presided over by both ministers and laymen, making four hundred meetings in private houses during the month. In addition special prayer meetings will be held in all of the churches during the month, There will be a general exchange of pulpits in all of the churches on the last Sunday in February, the general committee to announce the ministerial assisnments later. The month of March will be the climax of the campaign. The city of Oakland will be divided into four dis- tricts, and union prayer meetings will be held in each during the first week of the month. The pastors of the differ- ent churches in each district will con- duct these meetings. A party of evangelists will arrive in Oakland on March 5, and upon that date daily meetings will occur at dif- {Srem churches continuing until March This movement has been under way for about a year. It was begun when Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman came to Oak- year ago. The local churches entered heartily into the movement and for the last twelve months there have been many meetings that culminated in the general plan that was announced to-day. Mr. Chapman will conduct some of the daily services during March, the pre- liminaries being in the hands of the local workers. A perfect. spirit' of harmony prevails, and the campaign will be the greatest and most genera! that Oakland has ever seen.

NTS MACHINE T0 SOLVE PROBLEMS OF LOGIC. lWill Give R est 10 Fagged Brains Professor Rieber Believes He Has an Apparatus That Can Reason. Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Dec. 14. Logical problems worked out by ma- chinery is the achievement now being sought by Dr. Charles H. Rieber, as- sistant professor of logic at the Uni- i versity of California, and when his ex- |peflmentu are finally concluded Dr. Rieber i confident that he will have perfected a unique machine, capable of answering abstruse and difficult questions with such accuracy and speed as rarely are displayed by the human mind in its workings upon such Jines. Dr. Rieber is loth at this time to dis- cuss his invention, desiring to refrain from-explanation or announcement un- til all the detalls of his project have been given attention. It is known, however, that his machine is intended to so operate as to elimirate all errors in the consideration of syllogistic prop- ositions and show instantly what con- clusions may be expected to follow from a given premise. Questions rep- resented by certain set formulae used in logic are to be propounded to the machine, which will then, with uner- ring intelligence, supply the only an- swers possible to give in accord with logic. The FEnglish scientist W. S. Jevons has a machine in use working on some: Affidavits Charging Pilfer- ers in Uniform With Bur- glary Are Made by Chief Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Dec. 14. Chief of Police Hodgkins to-day swore to aflidavits charging former Sergeant of Police C. E. Clark and Pa- trolmen J. F. Stahl, C. W. Hamerton and Lee E. Andrews with burglary,. Subpenas were issued directing the ac- cused men to appear on Friday before Police Judge Mortimer Smith, when hearing will be held to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to Warrant arrest and prosecution. Police and citizen witnesses have also been subpenaed. Prosecuting Attorney . Leach said that the complaints upon which the warrants might issue could not be sworn to on “information and belief,” as were these affidavits. But the affi- davits could be taken as the basis of the hearing. From the bench Judge Smith said: It is true that complaints issued on ‘‘infor- mation and belief”' are not sufficient, WAar- rents of arrest under such circumstances can- not_be lssued. But upon such an application as has been made by the Prosecuting Attorney it Is the duty of the court to take depositions and bear testimony. This move in the case was made as the result of the failure of any person to swear to direct charges of burglary against the four men. After the Board of Police and Fire Commisgioners re- ferred the cases to Prosecuting Attor- ney Leach he drew complaints that lay in his office unsigned. At the last meet- ing of the board President J. E. Mc- Elroy notified Chief of Police Hodgkins that the law gave power to swear to such affidavits as were made to-day. The only testimony at hand is based upon the forced con- fessions of the men. It has been contended that methods were em- ployed to induce them to confess that would bar their statements from use. For that reason there has been hesita- tion on the part of the police in swear- ing Lo complaints. Subpenas cannot reach Stahl, who has gone to Portland. Or., nor Clark, who departed on a sailing vessel from San Francisco several days ago as second mate. Hamerton and Andrews have been in Oakland, but the court officials express a doubt whether either of them will be within reach of sum- mons. The Grand Jury, which was impan- &led to-day, was instructed by Superior Judge 8. P. Hail that it was within its province to investigate the police scan- dal. In his remarks Judge Hall said: It is your duty to take cognizance of matters published in the press. Often persons have not the inclination to swear to a complaint, but you have the right to subpena witnesses, and if you believe that there is good cause for action, it is your duty to return an indict ment. It is here that the efficacy of a grand ury les. The new Grand Jury is composed of H. N. Gard, H. B. Belden, Daniel Mc- Carthy, J. N. Green, Serrill Winsor, D. S. Moulton, William Mann, Frank Harrold, Charles C. Volberg, Henry May, William Tyson, C. P. Hoag, Al- Pert Kayson, George D. Greenwood, D. Dimond, Charles W. Damon, Henry A. Schulz, E. D. Dunning and Vincent Chloupek. The jury organized by elect- ing H. N. Gard foreman and H. BE. Pelden secretary, and then adjourned 4 runtil January 9. WIFE OF LAWYER IS DMITTED TO THE BAR Mrs. Emimy Marcuse Successfully Passes Examination and Will Form Partnership With Husband. OAKLAND, Dec. 14, —Alameda County is to haye a practl!ing woman lawyer in the person of Mrs. Emmy Marcuse, wife of Max Marcuse, a well known attorney of this city. Last Monday she successfully passed the examination before the Supreme Court and intends to enter into part- nership with her husband. ‘When the law course was instituted | at the State University three years ago Mrs. Marcuse was one of, the first to take advantage of it and has pursued her studies diligently ever since until her success in passing the examination crowned her efforts. MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Oakland, Dec. 14. The _follawing ‘marriage licenises were issucd the County Clerk to-day: Willlam 7.

Thomae, £, 23, and over. 18, ‘oot ot Oakland: Louts both of 5 what similar lines to those laid down by Dr. Rieber. but it has been known to make errors and is comparatively crude and unsatisfactory. Dr. Rieber asserts that he is working on his ma- chine with an idea of correcting the mistakes made by the Englishman's apparatus. Plausible arguments are used by Dr. Rieber to prove that a logical machine may succeed on the same lines as the now familiar adding machines. In logic there are certain rigid rules to be fol- lowed, just as in mathematics or the science of quantities. The logical ma- chine upon which Dr. Rieber is at work follows out the principles used in the adding machine, applying them to the subject of a qualitative reason- ing. It will be more complicated, how- ever, than the adding machines. In much the same way, however, that the adding machine turns out the answer “seven” when "‘four” and “three” are pressed, the logical machine will turn out all the possible combinations of letters that can follow from a given proposition. All combinations incon- stent with the premises are eliminat- by the machine, and when a propo- sition is put to the abacus that does not follow out the rules of logic the machine will refuse to work. When the machine is asked to consider disjunct- ive propositions its operation will of necessity become more complex. e —— POLICE HALED [SATS LAWYER BEFORE COURT| ~ DECEIVED HER Ignorance of Legal Matters Pleaded by Girl as Excuse for Annuling a Contract Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broddway, Dec. 14. Having dceded away halt of her birthright 1o Attorney Frederick Rus- sell for legal services rendersd, Mrs. Jennie de Soza is endeavoring to free herself from the contract and the nearing of her case is now before Judge Melvin. She claims youth and ignorance of the law and ways of at- torneys as her excuse for signing a contract which if upheld will give Russell one-half of an $11,148 86 inher- itance, she to bear out of her half all of the expenses. Mrs, de Soza to-day gave her age as 19. She is married to a man two years her senior and upon the stand told the following story: When my grandmother, Catherine Gritfin of Guerneville, died 1 was to get a quarter of some money left me by my grandfather, James Scobe. I had run away from my grandmothar and was “ere in Oakland with my husband. We had no money and I told Mr. Russell about the estate that was coming to me and asked him if he could uot help us. He looked into the matter and told us that it would probably mean o hard fight to get the money, but that if we would sign a contract he would see that we were advanced enough money to get along on. 1 agreed to his proposal. Since then I have found that he has charged me too much. There is no fight over the money. My grand- mother died a short time ago and there Is about $45,000 to be divided among four of us. He only xave us about $60. It was shown by Attornéy Charles Peery, for the plaintiff, that the first contract signed by her was drawn up before she had become of !egal age and that Russell afterward got her to sign a second one. Upon his side, Rus- sell confends that he defended them in a charge of vagrancy and other dif- ficulties they got into here and ad- vanced them considerable more money than they are willing to admit they received. —_———— TELL OF FIRE AND A LACK OF WATER Hearing of Niehaus Bros. Suit De- velops That There Should Have Been Greater Pressure, OAKLAND, Dec. 14—While the flames were devouring a mill valued at $164,000 the water would not run six feet out of the end of the hose, was the testimony introduced to-day in the suit of the Niehaus Bros.’ Com- pany of Berkeley against the Contra Costa Water Company for this sum tflo reimburse them for their loss by re. Guy Hyde Chick of Berkeley, for- merly the agent there for the water company, took the stand on behalf of the plaintiffs this afternoon and said that there should have been a sev- enty-pound pressure on the pipes on th‘e" night the flames destroyed the mill. Philip Sisterna, a member of the volunteer fire department, said that on the night in question the water hardly ran out of the end of the hose. He was corroborated by George Pirie, a resident of the neighborhood and one of the first to arrive at the fire and who helped unroll the hose. C. ‘W. Burgess, a resident of Eureka, who happened to be visiting close by, also testified that the water would not run. ———————— Buys “Willows” Property.

TRY T0 WIND UP WATERBURY Berkeley Man’s Daughters Hold Key to Problem of “Why Should He Marry?” TAKE TIME BY FORELOCK Pistol Is Brandished by Girl When Pa Tells All Hands of His Second Love | Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, | 2148 Center Street, Dec. 14y | George A. Waterbury is prepared “’l add his testimony to the literature con- | tributed by the folk who have writ- ten that “the path of true love never does run smooth.” Waterbury has been locked out of his residence at 1639 Prince street, by his four daugh- ters, because he proposed to marry again. When Waterbury announced his plan to the four daughters two days ago, they rose en masse and protested firm- | ly and not with special care to make the protestations gentle. Waterbury, however, believed that once the first storm had been endured, a calm might be expected to follow, and then he would bring his second spouse to the family roof tree, and all would be as before. The daughters neglected to resume their mormal state of mind, and this disarranged Waterbury’s programe. It was still farther disarranged when he returned last night to the home on Prince street, and found the door to the house barricaded. “Who the deuce has locked up my house?” yelled Waterbury, as he fran- tically kicked and pounded on the high- priced timbers of the building. é “We have, paw,” cried the four maid- ens in the house, who thereupon ap- peared at an upper window, from whence Miss May Waterbury brand- ished a revolver that Waterbury recog- nized as his own weapon, and not a toy weapon, either. “You go right away from here,” cried daughter No. 1, the eldest, “and don’'t come back to sleep or to eat till you have given up the idea of bringing another woman here to run the house!™ Waterbury retreated, and slept a lodging house in Oakland. His meals he got at a restaurant. To-day he tried again to get into his home, but without success. Appeal was then made to Justice Edgar and Deputy Marshal Pickett for assistance, and the latter promised to see that the Gordian knot in the Waterbury household was cut, deeply enough, at least, to permit of the entrance of Mr» Waterbury in- to the rooms where his lares and pen- ates are stored. Late this evening Waterbury swore to a warrant for the arrest of S. J. Hankins and Percy Betts, who, he says, alded and abetted the girls in their resistance to him. Hankins is connected with the law office of Charles Wesley Reed in San Francisco, and had been called on by the girls for advice. Hankins and Betts were arrested to-night, gave bail and will appear to- i at morrow morning in Justice Edgar's court. During Waterbury's absence to-day, and after his announcement that he would return with his bride to-morrow. the Misses Waterbury, as- | sisted by neighbors, removed all of | the furniture in the residence. They stripped the house of everything movable. The daughters deny the shotgun story told by the father. ——————— Aged Man Stricken.
