The effect on entering the fair was daz-

fxom the chandeliers and was reflected
back in varied huss from the line OF
many colored booths that encIrcled the
entire hall. From the balconies vera
draped long streamers of bunting in the
national colors, caught up at equal dis

over which were placed the stars and

among the booths, giving to the scene
an added charm.

Evening Session

The carrying out OF the programme Sc
by the presbyterY in the case OF the &C
cused elders of the First Presbyterian
church went steadily on in the same
method that has obtained during all the
trial. Owing to the absence of the steno
grapher the mill did not begin to grind
until 1880. The cross examination of P.
D. Young was finished and the tall form
of DR.. Alex Parker of Orange filled the
witness box. The main pom sought to
be developed by Mr.. Gordon in cross
examination was that it has never bee u
known in the history of the presbytery
that a session has been charged with
contumaoy for not sending q delegate
to presbyterian meetings. After consid.
cradle wrestling on the part of counsel
the Rev. Williell Thomson followed
his usual custom and declared the point
immaterial. No charge of inconsistency
can be lodged against the moderator in
all his conduct OF these trials.
In the testimony of the Rev. ]. II.
Stewart the prosecution endeavored to
show that the First church had received
official notice OF the proposed dissoluticn n.
In the midst of the testimony R. H.
Hartley jumped to his feet and insisted
that the moderator stop the arguing back
and forth by the counsel and hold them
to a strict observance of the rules govern
ing trials. He declared that they are all
getting tired out by thio inter minable
trial. Mr.. Hartley was very peppery aud
was on his feet several times with caustic
remarks.
The defense elected from Mr.. Stewart
the important fact that no Official notice
of the proposed dissolution of the First
church was sent to the session of that
church. The importance of this testi-
mony lies in the fact that the law of the
church makes 1t obligatory on the pres
bytery to send notice of intention by
the presbytery prior to such dissolution
and that the church be given opportunity
to be heard.
After introducing certain pages of th
session record uf the First church in
evidence the prosecution rested. A little
ripple was created when Mr.. Gordon rose
to read evidence from the record book of
the First Presbyterian church. The mod
orator tried every way to get Mr.. Gordon
to admit that the records were those of
the Westminster church. Mr.. Gordon
would admit no more than that they
were the records OF the session now on
trial. With this explanation the book was
admitted. The defense introduced as its
first witness j. S. Salisbury, one of the
accused elders and member of the
church of twenty-one years standing.
The old familiar ground was gone over
as to the meeting of the committee and
no new matter introduced. Mr.. Salisbury
declared that the difficulty in the way Of
the session so far as its ability to carry
out the commands of the presbytery was
concerned was legal obstacle. Mr.. Cor
don attempts to develop the point that
several members of the church had in
formed Mr.. Salisbury that they would
enjoin the trustees if they attempted to
pay over the award of S23 791, but the
moderator was true to the policy and the
point was blunted against his objection.
At this stage of the proceedings a motion
OF adjournm ent to 8 o'clck this morning
prevailed.

William is from Seattle, and he comes
down to the south with very bad record
for bilking people in various and sundry
ways. He is a lawyer, or at least he
thinks he is, and hung out a sign here

In Seattle Wallace was acquainted with
p. ;. Elderkin, husband of Mrs. Alics
b. Eiderkn. The Eiderkins came into
a legacy of $25, 900, and Wallace undouDt-
eddy pinned himself to them. He is a
man of slick address, and after he reach
ed this city the Eldcrkins helped him in
many ways. This assistance he evident
ly did not appreciate.
Walaces wife left him in Seattle and
came to this city to mako dresses for
living. After Wallace came here he made
up with her and represented that the Ell
derkins were going to set him up in bust
ness.
So Mrs. Wallace took him back, but she
soon found that her husband had lied to
her. She declined to have anything more
to do with him and has since procured
divorce.
Wallace was nrraigned before Judge
Owens and placed under $500 bonds.
Failing to give it he went back to jail.

Detailed
The Defense Opens With The Introduction Of
Church Record and Presbytery
Adjourns Till Today

The presbytery of Los Angeles met in
the Second Presbyterian church at East
Los Angeles at O'Clock yesterday after
noon to continue the trial of Elders J. c.
Salisbury, J. X. Hoffman, II. 6. Wiley,
Westm mister church, charged with con-
tumacy in resisting the authority and
orders of the presbytery.
The session was opened with prayer by
Moderator Thomson, after which roll was
called. A committee appointed to act
upon the request of the Rev. J. ]. Marks
d. D., to be retired from the active duties
of the ministry. reported favorably upon
the request and by a vote of the presby-
terry it was granted, and resolutions of
esteem for the venerable pastor were
passed and filed in the records of the
prespytery.
The body then went into judicial ses-
sion. William r. Henderson, of the pros
ecuting committee introduced In evil
dence the minutes of the conference of
the presnytery committee with the pastor
and elders of the First church, stating in
full their answers to the questions pro-
pounded relative to their acceptance of the
action of the presrytery constituting the
as its elders. The ,cument recorded the
answers of the aforesaid elders. denying
the authority of the presbytery in the in
stance referred to.
As additional evidence the prosecution
read copies of the letters of dismission
of certain members from the First church
and transferring them to the newly Or
ganized Central church. An Direction
interposed by H. T. Gordon caused
lively discussion as to the legality of adj
hitting the letters In evidence. The mod.
orator overruled the objection and de-

In reference to specification of the
charges, relating to the advertisement of
meetings of the First church, disregard
ing tho action of presbytery organizing
then as Westminster, copies of nswspa-
pers containing said advertisements
were Introduced as evidence, and were
strongly objected to by the defense on
the grounds that it had not been shown
that the elders had anything to do With
issuing the advertisements. 1t was shown
that. as matter of fact, such business
was transacted by the church trustees.

The question of the temper OF the meet
ing was again brought up, as in the pre-
vious trial, and resulted in few personal
remarks between the witness and counsel,
in which the latter referred to the pres
bytery as "this august body" Moderator
Thomson advised Mr.. Gordon that he
was laying himself liable, to which he
responded that he had been driven to
that point where he did not particularly
care. Comment was made on Elder Cor
don's remarks, but he refused to with
draw them.
John NJ. Coyner was next called to tes-
tify. Mr.. Coyner was verv careful in
giving his testimony, which was sub
stantially the same as that previously
offered. On the question of the temper of
the meeting. witness was not so strong
in his statements as others. He said that
the elders in his opinion were conscien-
tious in their refusal to obey the orders
imposed upon them.
As witness had rrefaced most of his
statements with 81 believe" it was
moved to strike out his testimony, as it
was matter of impression and not Of
fact, The motion was denied.
Moderator Williell Thomson was then
put on the stand and repeated the testi-
mony formerly given by him at the Trial
of Mr.. Howard. Il characterizing the at
titude of the elders at the meeting with
the committee from the presbytery, Mr..
Thomson said it was contunacious and
rebelliors.
On cross-examination witness said that
the elders several times declared that
they meant no disrespeot to the presby-
terry.
The next witness was P. D. Young,
stated clerk Of the presbytery. His ties
timony was introduced for tho purpose of
establishing the authenticity Of the

Westminster church, but had on different
occasions sought recognition as repre-
sentatiyes OF the former First church.
This concluded the Introduction of doc
umentary evidence and the first witness
of the prosecution, r. H. Hartley. was
called to the stand. In general his testi-
mony was the same as that presented in
the trial of the Rev. Butt Estes How ard,
and was given in the same intolerani
spirit.
Speaking OF the request of the pres5y-
terry com mittee asking the elders to re-
sign unless they would submit to the
action of the presbytery, witness said
such request was made and accepted by
J. D. Moody.
Great stress was laid py the defense up.
on the fact that at all times the elders
refused to acknowledge themselve s as
elders Of the Westminster church; and
further. that they did not respond to the
call OF the presbytrry as IN EN- bers of Wes
minister church, and consequently at the
meeting in question were not to be con
sidered as such. Mr.. Hartley reluctantly
admitted the truth of ccunsel's state

ton of good driveways from the business
part of town to the boulevard system
would naturally lead to better pavements
throughout all the business section, as the
immediate result of making one or two
good streets would be their engagement
with traffic and the impairment OF their
usefulness for driving purposes.
These matters are managed with better
wisdom in some European cities. Certain
main thoroughfares are reserved for driv-
ing and business traffic is not permitted
on them till after midnight. For that
matter in some cities no draying is per-
mitted at all in the crowded part of the
day. 1t will be a long time before San
Francisco advances to these lengths, but it
is cheering to observe that it is determined
to have good streets and that the work has
already begun in earnest. So far, apart
from the splendid work of the Merchants
Association. the leadership OF these move
ments has been in the hands of enterpris-
ing clubs. 1t is time that all the business
organizations lend hand and systematic
the effort
