The targets were kept moving during the entire practice by the army tug, Lieutenant Harris, and for every shot fired, the speed of the target, the resist- ance by the wind and the time it takes for the shell to travel the distance, had to be figured, and the gun so aimed | that the target and the shell would | reach the spot at the same time.

He was admitted to the hospital on No- vember 30, where he stayed until De- cember 8, the entire time being under guard. He was then appointed to tem- porary duty at the Presidio. Curtis was appointed to West Point in 1881 and graduated four years later. He was made first lieutenant in Decem- ®r, 1891, and was appointed to his present position August 10, 1900.

H. F. Burgess Advances Opinions That Make Some Hearers Look With Wonder TALKS OF SOCIALISTS BT Pt S % Finds Them Disinterested, Conscientious and Also a Philanthropic People el Sl An extraordinary paper was read yes- terday by the Rev. H. F. Burgess, pas- tor of the Second Congregational Church, Oakland, before the Congregational Min- isters’ Union of S8an Francisco, Social, labor and general economic con- ditions were interwoven with spiritual problems and - the ministerial audience listened, some wondering, others dissent- ing, but a few agreeing with Mr. Bur- gess' “‘advanced” views. The speaker declared that it may be difficult for conservative church members to conceive of the existence of Christians in any considerable numbers outside the church and it was this argument which led on to more pronounced opinions, all of which were not generally indorsed. The Rev. Willlam Rader was one who agreed with much that Mr. Burgess had to say. In part, the speech follows: | I infer from an article I read concerning | Joseph W. Tolk that he 1s not a_church mem- | ber, but who shall say that such a man does | not” belong to the kingdom of God? Who | shall say that Abraham Lincoin was not a Christian? My own father united with the church on his death bed, but I did not feel that his sal- | yation depended upon that step. T had long | regarded him as a part of God's kingdom. He had confessed his faith in Jesus many times before his family and backed his confessions by a degree of consistency which put to shame many prominent church members whom I might name, | Quibbles about rites and ceremonles, these | sectarian shibboleths, seem childish ang trivial to a soul standing on the threshold of God's | kingdom, inquiring the way of eternal life. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. I belleve there are thousands of names writ- ten In the Lamb's book of life which are not found on any church rolk This, I feel, is a very important question | for us’as ministers to determine. | When called upon to attend a funeral we | are_expected to administer comfort from the word of God. We ask if the deceased was jdentified. with the church. The answer may be “No, but he was not opposed to the church. He believed in such things. He was a good man; honest and truthful—his word was ae £00d as his bond; generous to a fault; a loyal friend; a kind husband and father.” Do you banish all hope oy saying, “If he was not a church member that settles it. We have no comfort to bring you from the Bible. { We have mo warrant there for hope of h ealvation from eternal punishment’? There are some who belleve this the only course in harmony with the doctrines of the | church. We are often accused of going to the opposite extreme ana preaching a bad | man straight into heaven, especlally if he was a prominent citizen or lért a large estate. 1 believe the safe course in such cases is to leave it an open question as to whether he | belonged to the kingdom or rot, for if he did | we may claim for him the promises of God's word, whether he belonged to any church or not. One thing is always sure—he will be re- warded for his good deeds whether he is pun- ished for his bad ones or not. My conception of God's kingdom outside the | church includes those only whose lives are 0 cominated by the indwelling Christ, whether | consclously or unconsciously, that their lives | bring forth the fruits of the spirit—'love, jov, | peace, long euffering, gentieness, goodness, | faith,” meekne: temperance; against such | there 1s no la | | So far as the Christiane are concerned who are simply ‘detached” from the church some of thelr reasons might be suggested as follows: CHURCH AND LABOR UNION. | Lack of active co-operation on the part of the church with the industrial class in their | struggles for better conditions. The church is thought to look with suspicion upon labor unions. Happily this impression is being somewhat dispelled by the appointment of church delegates to labor councils and the work of such men as Mr. Stelzle, secretary of the department of labor of the Presbyterian church, . I know that unions are apt to be arbitrary and unreasonable in their demands,\and work a hardship to many good men. Strikes sometimes drive individual strikers to acts of violence, nevertheless their influence i€ for good. Even non-unfon meén say they are better off because of conditions made by the unfons. 3 It might be offensive to advocate from theé rulpit the principle of the boyeott, and vet the church has long pronounced a boycott on sa- loons, racetracks, prizefignts, dance halls, ete. i Because they are destructive of hu- man_life and morality. What a strong ally of the laboring man _the church might be! So long as the church falls | to_make such distinctions in favor of honest | labor the unfon man is apt to boycott the | church as an ally of his enemies. Yet he may | be suffering more for the advancement of God's kingdom than the average church member. In reality the sympathy of the church is with the oppressed In thelr struggle for great- er equity. Another reason for the “detachment” many from the church is found in the al- leged plliance between the church and - the | capitalist class, making it an aristocratic | rather than a democratic institution. PREJUDICE IS PRESENT. The Socialist attacks on the church are to some extent unjust. On the other hand there seems to be a strong prejudice In the church against Soclalists. And yet I know of no more disinterested, consclentious and philanthropic class of people. Are not such as these to be regarded as | subjects of the kingdom, ‘even though their names do not appear on any church roll? | The only other reason for ‘‘detachment’* | which 1 shall suggest is the prevalent feeling of for the church, A Roman Catholic, I am told, must repounce his church in order to join a secret soclety, He must choose between two alternatives. This tends to separate the church from the lodge. ‘While Protestant churches do not prohibit lodge membership there 1s, In some quarters, & strong prejudice against it, I belleve all the arguments which can be used in favor of a trades union can be used in favor of the church, as a unlon method of conducting the most important business on earth—that of saving souls and building char- acter. As certain advantages are reaped by non- union men because of the unions, 80 non- union Christians reap many indirect advan- tages from the church. If then Christiane outside of the church are helped by it how much greater must be the benefit derived from the church by those in- elde? All labor unions are federated in one mighty organization known as the American Federa- tion of Labor. *The trades unions are ahead of the churches in this respect. There is, however, great hope in the present movement toward a greater unity and closer federation.. The Presbyterian ministers’ weekly Rev. L. 8. McAfee on missionary work among the Indians.

STRONG FACTS FAVOR CODICIL Opening Statement for Pro- ponents in Samuel Davis Contest Is Made to Jury EXPERTS ARRAIGNED Counsel Charges That Theo- dore Kytka Made Dishonest Photographs of Writing Attorney John J. Barrett made the opening statement on behalf of the pro- ponents of the codicil of the will of the late Samuel Davis before Judge Kerri- gan yesterday. It was a strong presen- tation of the facts the proponents say they will establish and, incidentally, a severe arraignment of some of the hand- writing experts who have declared the codicil to be a forgery. Theodore Kytka was given special attention by the attor- ney. Barrett said: Theodore Kytka has instru of such a bent that I belles graph a man with a boll on him look like a hunchback. The exemplars that have been used by Kytka and the other so- called ekperts during "the last three months have been absolutely dishonest. Kytka was the commender of many of these men, all of whom used his exemplars, and he selected only such samples of Davis' handwriting as were desirable to his side of the case. His selec- tions were not fair and impartial. PURPOSE OF ENLARGEMENT. We will show you that Theodore Kytka en- larged the photoeraphs of the codicil to the size of these exemplars now on exhibition, for |Ahe very purpose of making the writing look as though it were shaded and reinforced. line or letter written with a lead pencil ll bound to be smaller or larger in one place than in another. This is because the graphits does not deposit equally, owing to the variation in pressure made by the hand that holds the pencil. This is the case In the codicll in_ques— tion and wkhen it was enlarged to -the size of these exemplars, it Js but natural that the letters should look as though they had been shaded, reinforced and even drawn. We Wwill show you beyond the shadow of a doubt that Samuel Davis wrote the eodicil. We will place on the stand one and perhaps two witnesses who will testify that they act- ually saw Davis in the act of making the pa- per. Jt was his purpose to make the codicil over, and make It In ink and he was going to show it to Daniel Meyer when it was made in ink. We will further show that speaking [ to Meyer be said: ‘“‘Daniel, I have done as you wished,” referring to the legacy for charity, | which Meyer asked him to make, “‘and when it is written in ink I will bring it down and show it to you.” Further we will prove that the codicll was written with a short lead pencil; that it was written slowly and that great pains were taken in the making of it; that it was not written at one sitting and that It consumed some time to get it together. We will prove that every stroke was the habit of Samuel Davis; that he was a writer of diversities of habit ‘and that he showed almost every vari- ety of habit in his penmanship, CONTESTANTS ATTACKED. This is a contest between the life-long friends of Samuel Davis and the post-mortem ac- quaintances of the deceased. It is a contest of men like Kytka and Eisenschimmel on one side and all the friends of Samuel Davis on the other. The proponents will keep the orig- inal codicil of the deceased in the jury box ur the entire presentatton of their case. | They will present abundant witnesses who knew Bamuel Davis’ writing; we will bring from every walk of life—merchants, lawyers, bankers and even some of the coun- try class, and they will tell you that it was Samuel Davis and no other person that penned this_instrument. We will also present handwriting experts, the best in the United States, men of known talent and_probity, who will demonstrate to you that Samuel Davis wrote cvery dollar mark end letter in the codicll, We will also prové that instead of befng found among a bundle of old papers, as the contestants al- lege, the codicll was found among the livest documents In the possession of Samuel Dayis; notably with eleven sheets of paper in which he was figuring out his last account with George E. Bates, who was practically his_partner in deals Involving stocks, bonds and realty, and we will further prove that this codicil couid only have been forged through a conspiracy between Daniel Meyer, George E. Bates, Jullus Rels and J. F. Cowdery, a con— dition’ so imorobable as to be worthy of no attention. Mr. Barrett made his statement after the contestants had closed thelr case in chief. The contestants relled almost wholly on the opinions of writing ex- perts that the codicil is not genuine. The proponents state, however, that they will prove, their case with direct testimony, and as a result interest in the contest will largely increase.from now on. ———————— Persian lamb, near seal and astrakhan jackets at one-half regular price. 10 Grant avenue. . ————————— Californians in New York.

McMahon ALLEGED WRONGDOINGS Says Woman Oi)tamed Inter- locutory Decree of Di- vorce by Hiding ' Facts -— A. G. Rockell filed an affidavit with Judge Hunt yesterday morning in the suit of Florence Elliott vs. John B. El- lott, which tells a story, the truth of which the court will determine, of a wife who obtained an interlocutory decree of divorce by fraud, induced her insane husband to turn over his property to her and then married, contrary to law, the man who had been her husband's keeper. On the statements of Reckell Judge Hunt appointed him temporary guardian of the insane husband until next Friday, when Florence Elliott must show cause why the interlocutory decree should not be annulled. According to the story of Rockell, as told in the affidavit, John B. Elliott, largest holder of the stock of the Elliott Hotel Register Company, became insane and was sent to a Belmont sanitarium in August, 1904. His keeper there was C. On June 5 of this year Florence Elliott sued for a divorce from her insane husband, hiding the fact that he was insane, and the next day he was brought to San Francisco and the sum- mons served on him. He did not make his appearance on the day set for the hearing and Judge Hunt granted the in- terlocutory decree. Later, it is alleged, Elliott signed over all of the community property to Florence Elliott and was sent to Towa to his moth- er, who placed him in an insane asylum. On August 30 Mrs. Elliott. married Mc- Mahon in Portland. Rockell claims that the property was obtained. fraudulently and that the summons was Invalid at the time of the granting of .the decree, because it was served on an insane man. He asks to be appointed permanent guardian, to have the property returned and the interlocutory decree annulled. In the meantime a suit for $6%0 is pend- ing against Rockell for money alleged to be due the Elliott Hotel Register Com- pany. He was also arrested on Novem- ber 25 for felony and embezzlement of $100 from this company. He has not yet been tried. Neither McMahon nor his new wife will discuss the case. E. D.
