Rev. R. F. Coyle, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of this city. threw a
bombshell into the ranks of the Christian
Endeavorers of this city last night. Those
who are aware of the facts consider it the
sensation of the cay in religious circles
The matter dates back to last fall, when
E. A. Sherman Jr., a member of that
church. who was at the time president of
the Alameda County Christian Endeavor
Union, led the organization into the politi-
cal arena.
DR.. Coyle and number of the more con-
sentative pastors of the city and county
did not take kindly to the action and were
not slow in saying so. At the spring SEES
sion of the Oakland presbvtery DR.. Coyle
submitted a resolution reciting the acts of
the young people in a general way and
asking that a special committee be ap-
pointed to look into their work and report
what should be done TO keep them within
bounds and under the control of the
church and pastor.
This committee reported at the fall meet
ing of the presbytery held at Newark on
Admission day. The report censured the
county union for going into affairs outside
of its sphere, urged loyalty to the church
and condemned all movements which
tended to draw the young people away
from the object of the organization It
closed with the following recommended
ton:
Res0l0ed, That the executive committee of the
Alameda County Christian Endeavor Union be
requested TO make ministers in charge of
churches ex-officio members of that committee.
The county executive committee met
September 80 to complete the revision of
the constitution and in accordance with
the request the proposed article was
offered. There was dissent at once, and
the opposition was led by E. A. Sherman Jr
and w. NJ. Gardner, two members of Dr..
Coyle's own church. The measure was de-
feated by four votes, although many dele
gates refused to vote either way. They
were quite gleeful over their victory, say
ing ministers could not come in and tell
them how to conduct the business of an
organization which they knew nothing of,
especially as to its inner workings.
At a meeting of his own society last
evening DR.. Coyle introduced resolu-
ton reciting these facts and closing as
follows:
RRsoEped, That we, the Christian Endeavor
Society of the First Presbyterian Church OF
Oakland, affirm our loyalty TO the church and
hereby Withdraw, our membership in said
county union and refuse 10 send any further
delegates 10 union that processes loyalty to
the church and at the same time refuses admis-
sion 10 Gods ministers, whose counsel and aid
our society so much needs.
We further recommend that all our Christian
Endeavor societies connected with the
churches in this presbytery withdraw from the
Alameda County Christian Endeavor Union
until the pastors are admitted.
The corresponding secretary was in
structed to send copies of the resolution
to all the churches in the presbytery.

ATHLETICS At BERKELEY
Annual Pacific Coast Cham
pionship Field Day
Is Held.
SOME RECORDS ARE BROKEN.
The First Football Game Of the
Season Passes Off Sue
cessfully.

BERKELEY, Oct. 5.-The annual cham
pionship field day of the Pacific Athletic
Association was held this afternoon on the
Berkeley oval. The track was in excel
lent condition, but the starting and time
were both slow. In some of the sprints,
notably the 100 and 900, the honors were so
closely contested that considerable enthusi-
asm was created.
The only records broken were in the shot
put and sixteen pound hammer throw.
Wilbur of the Reliance Club broke the
coast shot record of 80 feet inches, held
by himself, having cast the leaden sphere
40 feet IL inches. Edgren threw the
sixteen-pound hammer 1872 feet, breaking
his own record of 123 feet 10 inches.
These will not be allowed according to
some athletic authorities on account of the
distances having been measured with a
cloth tape when a steel one should have
been used.
Lloyd, '99, did some remarkably good
work in the pole vault and shot put, TAX
ing second place in the former and third in
the latter against crack men.
Nearly half the entries listed did not APP
pear at the call for their events. In the
mile walk five men were entered and only
one showed up. There could be no con-
test in this. so Yates, the only man on
hand, walked against the three mile coast
record, finishing in PALSY, not equaling
the record however. by about IS seconds.

A DEFAULTIHG SECRETARY.
Eight Thousand Dollars Miss
ing From a Cemetery
Association.
Edward p. Outram, the Mountain
View Secretary, Is Short
in His Accounts.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, !
sos Broadway. Oct. 6. {

SOo DIOduNdy, OCI. D. }
Edward P. Outram, secretary of the
Mountain View Cemetery Association, is
said to be defauter in the sum of
$863S 35. These figures were arrived at by
the expert who was put to work on the
books when Mr.. Outram failed to return
from his leave of absence granted on Sep
tember 10.
Mr.. Outram is supposed to be in British
Columbia. His wife and two children are
at the home on Franklin street and Mrs.
Outram is entirely ignorant of her hus-
bands whereabouts, as the last place be
wrote from was Portland, Or.
Outram applied for leave of absence at
the last regular monthly meeting of the
board OF directors and it was granted for
ten days He should have returned a
week ago, but as he did not do so, and as
no one knew where he was, it was sus-
pected that something was wrong and an
expert was engaged to examine his books.
Yesterday the experts report was SUBJ
mitted to The directors and the large de-
falcation made known. The method pur-
sued to obtain the money was very simple.
The Cemetery Association kept a running
account at the Central Bank and per
petual care" fund with the Union Ma
tional Bank. Every month certain sums
were set apart from the running account
and deposited with the perpetual fund.
The amounts for March, April, June, July,
August and September were drawn out of
one fund, but were not paid into the re-
serve banking account
Owing to the confidence which ten years
OF employment had caused the directors to
place in their secretary he was invested
with very general authority.
When her husband did not return Mrs.
Outram called on Superintendent Smith
and told him of her uneasiness that some
accident had befallen her husband. Then
the revelation was made that he was de-
faulter.
The experts report showed that the day
before his departure Outram was paid
$2SS7 81, and two days previous he received
$500, so that he was well supplied with
funds when he started.
The association is fully secured as Out
rams bondsmen were the Pacific Surety
Company.

become apparent that either the smoke
alone or the smoke and station together
must be stopped. In such predicament
engineers have been put to the necessity
Of trying all manners of smoke-consuming
apparatus, many of which have been found
as inefficient as they were uneconomlcal.
The latest remedy proposed consists in
device for removing solid matter from the
products of com bustion by, means of a cold
water spray at the base OF the chimney.
The SCOT goes away in the water and is
afterward collected, while the gases are
cooled to about $50 deg. Fair. AS this
temperature is too low to give natural
draft, fan is placed at the bottom of the
chimney. The water spray is directed on
the fan, and thus the apparatus is kept
paratively cool and clean. The system
is unquestionably efficient, but the tests
for economy are not yet forthcoming.

MANY ARE IMPLICATED,
The Boogar Case Is Brought
Up by the Arrest of
Kellogg.
The Ex- Railroad Detective Saws He
Is a Victim Of Con-
Spiracy.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
COS Broadway. October s.

The story published in THE CALL of Fri
day regarding the charges being prepared
by ex-Chief of Police Louis Schaffer
against some mem bers of the Police De-
partment, has brought to the surface much
that has been smoldering for months.
From all the circumstances now being
discussed in official and political circles,
it appears that the arrest of Detective Kel-
logg on Grand Jury Indictment, the trial
of Michael Collins for shooting old Philip
Boogar, the alleged misbehavior of Officer
Banks and the employment of Fl. V. Her.
bert, late claims adjuster of the Southern
Pacific Company, as detective of the Dis
trict Attorneys office, are all mixed up in
a series of schemes.
Nothing would probably have been heard

fed themselves that he is the victim of a
conspiracy. 1t is not quite clear Just where
the conspiracy originated but it extends
over the past two years and involves many
people,.
uc ltSteo QcteCIlNe says CDdC MS I'M
prlsonment is the result of work planned
and carried out by Louis Schaffer, man
named Baby" O'Connell and H. V. Her
bert. The indictment of the Grand Jury
was based on the fact that he wrote letters
signed Boston" to man named Savage.
whom he had arrested for pocket-picking
at the pier.
"All sorts of schemes and ruses have
been tried to trap me, said Kellogg. "No
less than four decoV letters were mt under
my door in one day last week to try to get
me to go to San Francisco and meet man
named Savage, an uncle of George Savage,
and Ed Newlands has been repeatedly to
see me to get me to go and meet Herbert
and Pete Pumyea at the stables of the lat
ter or at some other point. l never went,
not because | was afraid of any personal
injury, but l would not trust myself with
them under any consideration.
Kellogg has also another reason for
thinking he is the victim of plot He
says he was the first man in the room after
Collins, Mrs. Boogar's father, shot old
Boogar Kellogg made the arrest and
turned Collins over to another officer. Kel-
logg also says he heard what Collins said
Immediately after the shooting and also
what the women said, but he has not been
asked by the prosecution either at the pre-
llmlnary examination or at the first trial
when the jury disagreed. He says his tes-
timony is valuable, and although he was
frequently mentioned by the witnesses he
was not put on the stand. He intima tes
that he has some testimony to give when
his case comes to trial.
The District Attorney says that so far as
ne knows there Is no conspiracy to injure
Kellogg, but says that County Detective
Herbert did procure some of the witnesses.
