R. Welch has]| ireturned from a raid of the moun- ; tain fastnesses south of Livermore | and he brought back with him | two men who were caugnt with veni- son and deer hides. The offenders were W. P. Jones and John W. Hampton. They pleaded guiity before Justice Tay- j lor of Livermore and paid their fines. It is not often that n:nions of the law penetrate this inhespitable moun- tain district that is sometimes called “No Man's Land.” The few mountain- eers who inhabit the forbidding section Lave long enjoyed immunity from: the game statutes .and not until Deputy Welch, accompanied by John Mec- | Glinchy, the warden at Livermore, made his unexpected visit was there ever the glightest respect shown for the | laws designed to protect game. The district in question lies partly in Alamedn, Santa Clara, Stanislaus | and Ban Joaquin Counties, where these counties join. The respons:bility of au- thorities being thus divided and ‘the country almost inaccessible from the ropulous sections, scant attention is peid to the section by the officers. There are hardly more than a hundred residents and they are allowed to de about as they please sv long as in- fractions of the law do not become‘too notorious and too great. The result has | been that these mountaineers and cat- tlemén have come to regard the coun- try as their own for any purpose they choose to use it. Most of the country is | barren and forbidding and negrly all | Is_government land. Private titles, ex- | cept for mines, are almost unknown, | Game has become plentiful in this district. Driven out of the valleys by the farmers the deer have retreated into these wilds . and there are large droves that are seldom hunted, except by a few sportsmen from the Livermore | district who know of their existence. | The mountaineers of this séction are Ino! averse to taking parties into the | mountains occasionally and guiding | them to some of these hunting grounds. It has been known for some. time that a few of these mountaineer hunts- men have been absolutely aisregarding the game laws. Deputy Game Warden W. R. Welch | made a quiet trip.to Livermore last | week, and taking with him Johp Mec- | Glinchy, the local game warden, started | for “No Man’s Land.” They were care- | ful about their movements, and re- | turned yesterday with W. P. Jones and John W. Hampton. Jones is from the San Antone Valley and Hampton | has a cabin near the headwaters of | the Arroyo Mocho. | _ The sportsmen of the Livermore Val- | 1ey are to form a protective agsociation to co-operate with the state game ‘com- mission in protecting the game of this séction.

Knox, a mining engineer, residing at 533 Twenty-seventh street, found, on investigation, that a strange woman had inyaded his home at & o'clock this morning and was seated at .the pisno, calmly playing some freakish composition of her own. Knox did not disturb his unknown visitor just then, but went back to his room to dress, that he might sum- mon the police and have his unwel- come guest removed. While he was engaged in putting on his clothes a shriek of fright from his wife caused him to turn and, he was confronted by the strange woman, who was stand- ing in the doorway of the room, re- garding the occupants with the vacant stare of madness. 3 Fearing that the maniac. mirht be- come violent, Knox hastily telephoned for the police and the weman was tak- en to the nolice station, where she was identified as Mary E. Reyes, aged 19 years, who disappeared from the home of her parents, 1777 Ninth street, last Thursday evening. Eerlier in the morning the girl had been arrested for roaming the streets, but with the cunning of the. maniac she convinced the police that she had left her home on an errand and she was released. After being examined by the City Physician the girl was charged with insanity and taken to the Receiving Hospital. 10 FREE HONE FROM MORTCAGE OAKLAND, May 14,—To help the widow of the late George W. Brown, the policemeh who was killed by a footpad whom’he had ordered to halt, the Oakiand Police Department, in conjunction with the fraternal orders of which the deceased was a member, will give a benefit at the Bell Theater next Friday -afternoon, ‘May 19, the proceeds of which will be presented to the widow of the brave patrolman. Tickets for the benefit are now *on sale, and ;a large number have been disposed of. The meémbers of Pied- mont Parlor, Native Sons of the Gold- en West, have taken 200 tickets, &nd many more have been secured by peo- ple residing on the beat patrolled by Brown at the time of his death. The object of the benefit is to en- ablé Mrs. Brown to clear a mortgage which now incumbers her home -on Twenty-seventh street. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Brown has been making a brave struggle to support herself and her children, and has suc- ceeded, but she has not been able to meet the mortgage. Her only fear is that she may lose her home, but there is little doubt that the proceeds of the benefit next Friday will go far toward clearing the indebtedness, 3 The organizations which have the affair in charge.are the Oakland Police Department, the Native Sons, the Odd Fellows, the Young Men's Institute, COLLEGE DAYS SO0N 0 END NCANNY MUSIC fouss o 1905 preares Bid Farewell to Its Work ‘at the State University —_———,——— CLASS DAY EXERCISES e bl Pilgrimage to Be Made From Building to Building as Is ‘Time-Honored Custom B 4 A BERKELEY, May 14.—The failure.of many members of the senior class to acquit themselves successfully in ex- i aminations will not detract at all from the pomp and eclat with which the } successful members of the class of 1905 1.

J. Vosburgh Advances Aflug_gestion' About Aceept- ing . Money for Chureh LAYS DOWN PRINCIPLES Giver’s Acts Must Not, Be Condoned in Taking Coin Offered for Lord’s Treasury OAKLAND, May 14—Rev. H. J. Vosburgh, pastor of the First Baptist Church, preached this morning ‘upon the controversy that has arisen over the Rockefeller gift to the foreign mys- sionary representatives of the Congre- Mr. Vosburgh re- viewed the entire situation, and his 'sermon is of more than usual interest, coming from a minister of the denomi- nation to which Mr. Rockefeller be- longs. Mr. Vosburgh would not have the church condone Mr. Rockefeller's business methods, and in the course of his sermon he said: The question of what {s kriown as “tainted money’” hus been forced upon .us for considera- tion by the widely discussed relation between John D. Rockefeller and the foreign missionary representativés of the Congregational church. The controversy has been so widely discussed that it is unnecessary to sepeat its details. On the one hand are those who seem to favor the indiserimimate reception or gifts with little con- sideraton -for the moral character or business methods of the donars, On the other hand there are those who feel that some sort of protection must be placed about the contribu. tion box. ‘The argument in favor of the reception of all gifts 18 easy and apparently conclusive. It runs as follows: Givers will not submit to an examination .nto their characters and business methods and will resent it as an unwarrantable system of ecclesiastical esplonage; committees cannot be tound who are able and wiiling to discharge the delicate duty of determining the moral status of givers; the Lord can use money from any source, causing the money a8 well as.the wrath of evil men to praise m. Thess cogent reasonings seem to close the questjon, and yet the Christian consclence in- structively feels that something more needs to be said, although the moral judgment may be unable 'to formulate its utterances in a con- sistent manner. We are reminded that great questions are often settled not by the clash of arguments at a given point, but by combining the resulis that come from surveying the en- tire field- from different points of view, for no point of view is sufficiently commanding to Eive a complete perspective. As soon as we survey the:fleld from & different point of vie we observe that the Christian church.in its highest moods has always felt that some re- striction shouid be placed upon the reception of gifts. RECONCILING PRINCIPLE. We no longer take monsy made in a lottery. Evansclical churches will not receive 'money that comes fromgthe liquor traffic, It the ac- ceptance of the gift implies approbation of the business. The money of th: church and the message of the church have always remdined in close affiliation. Shareholders have never given money In large amounts to support an abolition campalgn. Liquor. dealers do not furnish the funds for the prohibition of their business; The race track gamblers did g0t send u lobbylst to Bacramento last winter ito aid in securing the passage of the Espey bill The New. York Outlook, which has favored the Teception of the Rockefejler donation, does not indorse the principle of ‘the {ndiscriminate re- ception of gifts, £ *“Money -obtained by fraud . ought not to . recelved from A& donor _provided be returned to the owner, mor money obtained by fraud ufider circuiastances which Implies approval of his methods. For this resson It may well be affirmed that money may not be solicited by religious organizations from men meth- ods are justly subject to gemeral- public con- demnatlo It is evident then, on the one hand, that to investigate all gifts is-an impertinence and:am impossibil:ty, and on the other hand, to re- ceive all gifts may weaken the testimony of the church to righteousness. Can any reconcil- iftg principle be foupd? I think so, and sug- gest the following as a principle worthy of neral adoption: ‘‘Money ought not to.be in he Lord’s treasury when its Dresence there weakens the testimony of the church to the great ethical principles that it is established to Tepresent.” For instance, it .does not weaken the position of the church if a gambler drops money inio the contribition box, but if the gambler contributes with the understanding that the church is to moderate its tone toward his business, then the taking of his money is a moral offense. HONOR OF CHURCH. In the application of this principle the honor of the church may be protected in two ways. First; by care In soliciting and receiving gifts. The representatives of the American Board did wrong in plauning a three years' compaign to securc a large contribution from one who in the language of the Outlook is.'‘an fllustrious example of a pernicidus system."” Second, by declaring its attitude toward business methods that are ‘‘justly subject to general public con- demnation.”” Betwean fitty and seventy-five years ago a similar controversy was wi over th ercception of money from slaveholders. The American Board finally settled its attitude totward that question by declaring in 1845 that it would not examine into the motives of giv— ers, but that it could have mo dealings with slavery that Involved approbation. It E less to say that it was not long troubled with questions concerning the reception of money i that source. T imilar atiitude is demanded to-day. The chureh should say to Mr. Rockefeller and other men who revresent the game business methods that it cannot approve of their principles. It they wish to give, It must be with the distinct understanding that ' the church does not en- e thelr business trai s, omis these methods as hostile/to the gospel of Christ and as doing in the world exactly what unmistakably ¢ £ Tarznils o et S Suret e methods; that are heathenizin E%‘m!i'&&'"‘m The church should cease fts un- wise and insistent efforts to secure money from these men. Our trust magnates are warranted in_inferring that the church a) es their methods when It is 8o ready to re their ill- gotten galns. The Baptist denomination has & peculiar responsibility in this matter.’ A con- dition has grown up, entirely innocently, dur— ing_the past twenty-five ye that involves us before the public in complicity with one of the offensive combinations of eapital. Many Baptists are willing tg confess their sins of ig- norance for the.past and are desirous of squar- ing themselves With the enlightened consclence of 1o-day with regard to the great moral prob- lem of the hour. The Baptist church s ‘mot ble for the Standard Oil Company or r y opoly. If representatives of these systems con bulL to the Bap- st treasury, it will be with the distinct knowl- tha ‘Baptists ke that heir el ur grot ol grlel’fll an attitude that will. takable the position of the denomination. st A sy PAINTERS ENJOY DAY OUTING Special Dispatch to The Call.

HOW GARFIELD WAS DECEITED Special Dispatch to The Call OMAHA, Neb, May M4.—In a state- ment to a local newspaper to-day a confidential man in one of the South Owaha packing hquses discloses the secret of the packers’ system of book- keeping, explaining how Commissioner Garfleld was*fooled”by juggled figures into the belief that the profit on a beef steer did not exceed 98 cémts. At the outset the statement.is made that “al- though an expert accountant could find no flaw in the system of bookkeeping? ihe figures are juggled =0 as to hide the preofits, which are really enormous,’ and that, when a man knows the key to the system, he can ‘“easily tell where the puckers are making a profit of from $6 to $8 per carcass.” Comparative tables are given showing debit and credit accounts on a bunch of seventy-one cattle actually sold in South Omaha on Friday. The first ta- ble shows the figures as they appear on the packers’ books and In the sec- ond table the figures are revised to show the actual values. The differences appear in the charge for labor, which is declared to be 75 cents per carcass, instead of $275, as charged on the books, and in credits for the by-products. According to the packers’ figures the offal is credited at 35 cents per carcass, whereas “one beef liver alone is worth more than the en- tire credit allowed for all the offal.” Hides are credited at $4, which on Sat- urday’s market were worth $11 per hundred, and butter fat and tallow are redlly worth nearly $1 per carcass more than credited. The figures, as corrected, show the net dressed cost per hundred pounds to be $5380 in place of $797 per hundred pounds, as it appears on the packers’ charge sheets, and instead of a profit of 98 cents, as it appeared to Garfleld, there is an actual profit on each car- cass of almost $8.

At the time when he realizes that “the only girl in the world” Is his afinity? Or at the time when he de- termines to let her guess his views on the subject? This delicate question was raised in the English probate and divorce court. The president, Sir Francis Jeune, was compelled to admit that the solution was beyond him. The point was raised in this way: A young man named George Whitehead was asking the court to declare that the Scotch marriage between his par- ents was valid. His mother, Mrs. Whitehead, was called as a witness In support of his case, and gave evidence about her courtship, which began, she sald, in the gardens that flank Princes street in Edinburgh. “How long had your nusband Leen courting you when he proposed to you?" asked counsel. Mrs. Whitehead hesitated, finding the query hard to answer, and the presi- dent come to her rescue. “Can any one say that?" he re- marked. “I doubt if a man knows him- self when he first begins to court a 8irl”—Chicago Tribune. i ‘Wireless Message Gone Estray, Skeptics relative to the praeticabile ity of wireless telegraphy were gloat- ing recently with an “I told you" ex- pression on their faces over the going astray of a messagé sent from the steamship Bermudian. The . vessel was 380 miles south of the Highland of Navesink when a message addressed to the New York office of the company was sent out im the hope that some passing vessel might pick it up. Later the message came in the mall from Cleveland, Ohlo: - It was complete in every way, but neither the Highland station nor the wireless towers at Hen- lopen or Hatteras knew anything of it, nor was it heard by any passing’ ship. The operator at Cleveland says that he took the message in the regular order of business and that each dot and dash was as perfect as if it had been gent only a few miles away. The distance between thé Bermudian at sea and the Cleveland station ls over 940 miles.—Philadelphia Ledger. 2 and Glycozone ualess label bears my signature :
