COMMISSIONERS ARE UNANIMOUS
IN THEIR OPPOSITION TO
THE PLAN.
AN ORDINANCE AGAINST IT.
WHY MEssRs. AUSTIN, SCOTT AND
RosENFELD WILL WITHHOLD
THEIR PERMISSION.

Further conference by the ministers of
San Francisco in reference to religious
services at Golden Gate Park will be IN
necessary. for the Park Commissioners
will refuse permission to conduct such ex-
ercises.
A committee was appointed by the Pres
byterian Ministerial Union Monday to con-
fer with like committees from other evan
gelical churches in regard to holding meet
ings at the musicians stand in the PARK
Sunday afternoons. Rev. j. Cumming
Smith and Rev. F. B. Farrand, the pastors
respectively of Trinity and Howard
churches, were appointed to represent the
union. No communication has been re-
ceived by the Park Com missioners IN re-
gard to the action of the churches, and
they received their only information OF 1t
through the daily papers.
Joseph Austin, president OF the farK
Commission, took practical view OF the
matter.
ut would never do to grant such privi-
lege," he said. People come here for
rest and quiet, and there would be strong
objections to the noise of such meetings.
There is an ordinance against holding pub
lie meetings of any sort in the park which
fully covers this case"
John Rosenfeld's objection was that
such services would be Inappropriate.
II have nothing whatever against the
ministers" he said. Let them do all the
good they can, but the proper place for
religious meeting is the church. would
certainly vote against granting such per-
mission"
~ am opposed to it, said Irving NJ. Scott.
''There is no reason why any preacher
should be allowed TO force his peculiar
views upon the public at place of rest and
recreation like the park. L am strongly
opposed to it,"
There was a remarkable unanimlty of
opinion on the part of the commission, es-
pecially as it's members had had no con-
ference upon the subject.
There have been great many such APP
plications," said Superintendent McLaren,
"and they have all been refused" He
produced a copy OF the Statutes, Ordi-
nances and Laws Relating to Park Com
missioners of the City and County OF San
Francisco" and pointed to the terse but
significant section of ordinance IL: mo
public meeting and no public discussion or
debate shall be held within the limits of
the said park, avenues and grounds"
"That ordinance has been in force for at
least ten years and will continue to be-"
said the superintendent.

This store is not run by or in

SOLDIERS As WHEELMEN,
A NATIONAL VOLUNTEER CORPS
ABOUT TO BE ORGANIZED
FOR SERVICE.
OF THE THREE HEADQUARTERS ONE
MAY BE LOCATED IN THIS
CITY.

Military men in the army and National
Guard and men who were formerly in the
service are manifesting interest in this City
in the proposed establishment of the corps
OF United States Military Wheelmen.
Some months ago the War Department
authorities began the arrangement of pre-
llmlnary matters looking to the immediate
organization of the new corps, and within
the past few days the arrival of some deti-
mite information about it has caused con-
siderable discussion. The officers and men
at the Presidio are astir over the formation
of the new arm of the volunteer service.
and from all indications the novelty of the
work thus far specified will have numer-
Gus attractions for National Guardsmen
who would be willing to try that sort of
military work.
The corps is to be known as the United
states Military Wheelmen, and the method
OF organization will be upon such lines as
the Engineer and Signal Corps, though
upon larger scale. The headquarters

Delagoa Bay couple of days ago, and that
three of the crew were drowned. The ves-
sal and Captain Arm eson, her master, were
well known in San Francisco. When she
was here last winter she nearly met her
fate in almost the same manner she was
lost in Delagoa Bay.
Charters were pretty scarce last Decem-
Der, and when Captain Arneson got a
chance to load wheat at Portland for Cork
he seized the opportunity. Stiffening was
taken in and the tug Fearless engaged to
tow the big ship to her destination. When
Point Reyes was reached a gale came up,
and both tug and tow were soon in trouble.
Twice the hawsers snapped like pack
threads. She rolled and pitched fearfulIy,
and on several occasions it was feared
that she would turn turtle and go down.
In order TO avoid being pulled down with
the ship if she sank, CAPTAIN Dan Haskell
kept man near the hawser with an ak
ready to cut away at the slightest approach

ever, and Astoria was reached in safety.
From Portland the BreidabliA went to
Cork with her cargo, and from there she
went to Cardiff after discharging. She
loaded coal for Delagoa Bay and was then
to come to San Francisco in ballast. When
OIL Llmpopo, On the east coast of Africa a
terrlnc storm was encountered. When it
had blown itself out the ship was on her
beam ends and the water began to leak
into her hold. Everything possible was
done to right her, but she gradually set
tied and had to be abandoned. Three of
the crew were killed by falling spars The
Breldablik was built in Norway in 1890 and
was 4417 tons gross burden. She was 2s2
feet inches long, ~ feet inches broad
and "a feet inches deep.
THE Breidablik was built by the savings
OF almost an entire village in Norway, :"
said Lorentz Foard yesterday. Almost
every man in the little town had share in
her, and don't think one OF them held a
cent OF Insurance. The vessel was only
built i've years ago and had done remark
ably well for her owners, as at the end of
every voyage there was surplus to be
divided. Her loss means great deal to
that little community.
Captain Arneson was a skillful COM

most treacherous places on the coast of
Africa. 1t is an open roadstead and the
swell from the Indian Ocean is always verv
heavy. guess that had good deal to do
with keeping the ship down when once
she went over. The skipper had his wife
and family with him, and l am glad to
hear that they were saved. Like Halse OF
the Stjorn, Arneson was part owner in
his vessel and will be heavy loser by the
disaster
