THREE OF A KIND.
The Detectives Arrest a Gang of
Daytime Burglars.

Detectives Bee and Harper, assisted by
Officer John Lynch, made three arrests yes
terday on Fourth street that will probably
lessen the number of daytime burglaries
about which so many complaints have re-
Gently been made at police headquarters.
On the 18th inst the residence of Henry
Morris. at 537 McAllister street, was broken
into from the rear during the day time, and
some $500 worth of diamond iewelry stolen.
Every burglar or gang OF burglars has its
peculiar way of doing business, and leaves
his or its ear-marks behind. The especial
feature of the Morris burglary was the use
of the jimmy, which was most freely APP
piled, not alone in forcing an entrance put
in opening and splinterlng every Locked
drawer or door in the house.
After hunting on this clew for some time
the detectives finally located three we'll
dressed young men as the burglars. and ar
rested them. They gave the names of Henry
johnson, alias Burton, Henry Fisher and
Henry Hackelt. Charges OF grand larceny
and burglary were placed against each OF
them at the Central Station. About half Of
the stolen Morris property was found on the
prisoners when arrested.
johnson is an eX-c2uvlct, having served q
two years term in San Quentin on convic-
tion for burglary in Kern County. The
three men are believed to be part OF the
gang that has been doing so much Of the
recent DAY robberies of houses, and are con-
by the police sidered to be expert thieves.

Rev. I'll. C. Christian Welcomed by Gen.
tenary Church Members.
A reception was rendered Rev. H. G.
Christian. the new pastor of the Centenary
Methodist Episcopal Church on Bush street,
by his parishoners last night. The church
was destroyed by fire in July, and the ex-
ercises of last evening were held in the
chapel which has been erected on the site
of the former edifice.
There was good attendance of members.
all of whom joined in singing the opening
hymn, "Blest BE the Tie That Binds" The
Chairman, John Starke, then offered prayer,
after which Emory +. Smith delivered an
address of welcome to the Rev. Mr.. Chris
tian. ''We are here" he said, mot only to
extend YOU a hearty welcome to Centenary,
but also to congratulate ourselves upon
your advent as our pastor. In the name of
the church we extend you our prayers, our
hearts and our hands, and BY God's help we
will uphold yonr every effort to advance the
cause of Christ"
Mr.. Christian, who has been presiding
elder of the district for the past four years,
replied in appropriate and feeling terms,
expressing his belief that the coming year
would be the most prosperous in the history
of the church.
An impromptu programme followed, Miss
Easton furnishing recitation, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Giesler vocal duet. Miss
Hyde contributed solo and Miss ingalls,
recitation. The balance of the evening was
pleasantly spent in 4 social manner, light
refreshments being served before the con-

STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES.
A GrowI Among Railroads over the I'M
mense Amounts Paid.

"A
mense Amounts Paid.
A recent dispatch from Chicago states
that there is the liveliest kind of row in
progress in the Transcontinental Associa-
ton over the subsidies paid to the steam
ship companies in order to do away with
water competition in the Pacific Coast traf-
ic.
1t is said that the railroad companies
forming the association have for years been
paving enormous sums of money to the
steamship companies 50 as to keep up the
rates on freight to and from the Pacific
Coast.
Among other things it was said that the
Pacidc Mail Steamship Company received
million or more dollars year rs its share OF
the subsidy.
Another dispatch of more recent date
states that the Pacific Mail Company, in
view of the prospect il has of securing the
Government contract for carrying the Pa
chc mails, cOntemplates the building OF
three additional fast China steamers and
also is negotiating with the Occidental and
Oriental Steamship Company for cousoli-
dation Of interests.
reporter Of The CALL Yesterday inter-
viewed George II. Rice, Traffic Manager for
tie Occidental aud Oriental Company, at
his office on the Pacific Mail Company's
dock, First and Brannan streets.
He was asked regarding the trouble in
the TraEscOntinental Association, and
answered that he knew very little about it.
He knew that there was certain arrange
ment between the overland railways form
ing The TranSContnental Association and
the steamship companies in the matter of
carrying overland freight The association
paid the Pacific Mail Steamship line GER
tain amount of money for a certain amount
of space in each steamer in which they
shipped their cargoeS. What the exact
amount WAS ne could not say, L OF knowing,
but he did know it was somewhere near

Evidently" said he, 'the trouble spoken
Of between the different lines grows out Of
a desire on the part OF sHme of the railway
companies who carry the smallest percent
age Of overland freight to have the COM
panies carrying the largest percentage pay

quite well pleased with the prospects. In
an examination of the original plans of the

discovery caused the Chief to be much more
