land society held meetings on board the
Lord Spencer, which was called for the
time being the Bethel ship. Captain
Leahy was accompanied by his wife, and
between religious and social receptions the
large British ship became very well known
and was visited by hundreds of Endeav-
orers. The work among those on board
proved to be so sincere that Carl Hager,
superintendent of the parent society. de-
cided to make the experiment of having
the good work thus begun carried on at sea.
The Lord Spencer Floating Endeavor
Society was the first organization of its
kind, and the reports of the voyage to
England and of the work of the society
were being watched for with great interest
by the numerous friends of those on board.
The society consisted of Robert Lawson,
chairman; B. Whitmarsh K. Tomas, I.
Vipond, Graham McNab, NJ. Clark and A.
Bevans. Captain and Mrs. Leahy, al
though not enrolled as members, promised
to encourage the society all that lay in
their power, and agreed to give them the
use of the saloon for their regular meetings.
The vessel sailed from this port on April
8, and nothing has since been heard of her.
Although posted as missing, there is still a
little hope that the Lord Spencer has not
come to grief. Before leaving San Fran
cisco the vessel bad been out from home
Tor nearly nine months, ana during all
th at time had not been on drydock. Be-
fore sailing Captain Leahy told his friends
here that the vessel was very foul, and
that he had no hope of making quick
passage. For vessel of her class the Lord
Spencer should have reached England in
100 days, and although she has been close
on 200 days, there are a few instances
where vessels of equal sailing ability have
been 900 days.
A few days ago very pathetic letter
was received by Mrs. K. Hayden OF the
Oakland floating society from Mrs. Nc
Nab. Many anxious inquiries were made
by the lads mother as to any possible
reason which might account for the long
passage, but of course none could be
given. Young McNab was lad IA years
of age who was making voyage on the
vessel for the benefit of his health and was
half passenger and half apprentice.
"The lads on the Lord Spencer" said
Mrs. Hayden to-day were the most
earnest and popular of any that have
visited this port aud in which our society
has taken an interest Hundreds of their
friends are anxiously waiting for tidings
of the vessel, and should the report that
she is missing prove true much genuine
sorrow will be felt among their friends
here"

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL

The long promised charges against Off
Ger Banks were filed with the Police Com
missioners last night. Although the
charges have been worked by ex-Chief of
Police Schaffer, they are fathered by f. NJ.
Pletz. The allegations are somewhat va
ried and are OF such a nature as will lead
to sensational developments when investi-
gated. In addition to the charges against
Banks, the fate of a young man will also
be involved in the inquiry.
The specific charge against Banks is that
he attempted to obtain bride of 5000 from
the sister of man whom he had arrested
for the purpose of "squaring" his case. In
the complaint the name OF the man under
arrest is stated as John Doe, but it is
known that his real name is Albert Riedel.
About three years ago, it is alleged, Banks,
in company with friends, went to the
house of Riedeps sister near Redwood
City. San Mateo County. Banks told his
mission to the lady and promised in con-
sideration OF $500 to see that when the case
came to trial the leading witness for
the prosecution man named Betanique,
should be absent from the State. Mis-
trusting the story of Banks, who, it is
stated, gave the name OF Smith, the lady
called in her husband, who is also wit
ness to the alleged ATTEMPTED bribery.
Banks was informed that they had no
money in the house and that it would be
necessary for them to go to San Fran
cisco, in order to take the amount out of
the bank. An appointment was made at
which time they were TO meet Banks and
give him the money. The house where
the parties lived was about twelve miles
from Redwood City, and Banks and his
companion drove in buggy from the rail-

MR. BIS HOP OF BERKELEY
HOW THAT MYTHICAL MAN CAME
NEAR Spelling THE FRESH
MEMS GLEE.
DANCING DID Nor BEGIN UNTIL
NEARLY MIDNIGHT-SOPHo
MORES' DENIAL

The annual hop given by the freshman
class of the university on Friday evening,
despite the warming of President Kellogg
and the precaution Of the class members,
came within an hour of being lamentable
failure The dancing did not commence
until nearly midnight, and instead OF being
furnished by crack orchestra from San
Francisco, as had been intended, the music
for the occasion was given by couple of
Berkeley amateurs, wto had been dragged
from their couches and bundled off.to the
gymnasium.
An innocent-appearing telegram, ad-
dressed to Valentine Huber of San Fran
CISCO was the cause of all the trouble, and
before the incident is closed may lead to a
solemn investigation by the faculty.
Mr. Huber's orchestra had been engaged
by the class to furnish the music for the
evening" but at o'clock in the afternoon
he received a telegram announcing that
the dance had been postponed, the
sender cheerily adding that he would see
Mr.. Huber later. Not being in touch with
university life and unacqualnted with the
memorial feud that exists between the
freshmen and the sophomores, Mr.. Huber
philosophically pocketed the missive, noti-
fed his six musicians that they would not
be needed, phlegmatically made out bill
for services that ought to have been rem
dered, and then calmly proceeded to forget
all about the matter:
The electric missive received by Huber
read:
Unable to get the hall. Dance postponed
VIII call Saturday. Tom BISHOP.
Now the freshmen are out trying to To-
cate Mr.. Bishop, and an investigation into
the affair by President Kellogg and the
authorities is imminent. Mr.. Huber wants
TO have his bill recelpted, and the fresh
men have refused to recognize it.
President Kellogg, the day before the
freshmen glee, sternly announced that if

DEBS NOT IN POLITICS.

Origin of False Rumor That He Was
Opposed to Unions.
When Harry A. Knox was asked as to
the truth of the report telegraphed recently
from Chicago that Eugene " Debs had
declared against labor unions as a means
of Fighting the wrongs OF labor, and had
decided to use his influence and power in
the organization of a political party to aid
the wage-earners, he simply smiled and re-
marked:
If you see the last letter I have from him
you would take as little stock in this report as
/ do. He is more enthusiastic than ever in the
work of building up the American Railway
Union, and is daily encouraged by the crafty
ing reports he receives of the great growth the
organization is making throughout the coun-
try.
1t is Just possible that this rumor originated
from the fact that James Hogan, member OF
the board of directors of the American Railway
Union. and who was fellow-prisoner with
the president, has been nominated for Con.
gress by the Peoples party OF Utah.

hold their hop in November.
Before that ultimatum, the sophomores
admit that they were preparing to give the
freshmen trouble. They had stolen the
plate upon which the invitations had been
printed, and had over 500 bogus copies
struck off, which they had distributed
among their friends. 1t was the intention
to bill the hall and prevent the dancing.
