SENECA SWALM'S NOVEL.
Richard Mcdonald Jr. Says He
Does Not Think 1t Will
Hurt Him.
He Is Of the Opinion That MIR. Swain
Is Playing CatspaW to an
Enemy.

The fact that Seneca Swain has written
realistic novel, in which he is supposed
to hold up to public scorn all the McDon-
aids of banking fame, does not interfere
with the good health and appetite of Dick
Mcdonald in the County Jail.
ST am not worrying about Swain forth
coming book" said Mcdonald last night.
81 don't believe that Swain has any reason
to entertain a feeling of vindictive resent
1nent against me. I never met the man
more than twice in my life-once in the
Police Court and once in the Superior
Court, when Swain was on trial. 1 had
some feeling in the case, but that did not
affect my testimony in the least. The
statements frequently made that I sent
was not my evidence, but the evidence of
George Shreve that convicted Swain.

cerned, l snap my fingers at it all. l

/ don't think that Seneca Swain can say
anything worse of me than has already
been said. AS to what may appear in his
forthcoming story cuts no figure in the
case, because I believe that 1 will have a
fair trial by an honest jury and that is all
l ask. If had an opportunity to attend
to business could straighten up the af-
fairs of the Peoples Home Bank in thirty
days and the losses of depositors would
not be more than 25 per cent
"But what can do, confined as I am
within these walls?" continued the ex-
banker. "Give me thirty days of liberty
and will straighten out the tangled skein.
Give me freedom of action for month
and will defy Seneca Swain and the men
who are setting him on me. l don't be-

Golden Gate Hall, 625 Sutter street. It is
expected that many progressive women
will attend the sessions of the congress
throughout the week, and the audience at
the opening to-day promises to be quite
large. The notion that the congress is to
be demonstration in force of the modern
woman, or the new woman SO called, is not
exactly correct.
The congress should bring to the discus
sion of questions bearing on the home life
the clearest intellect and the widest OBJ
servation of writer's and speakers. Men of
force and character, as well as women of
intellect and sympathy, will join forces In
the work of the session.
The opening address to-day will be de-
ivered by Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, president of
the congress. AT the forenoon session a
paper on Hereditary Influences" will be
read by Rev. Eliza Tupper Wilkes of Oak
land. During the afternoon session Miss
Millicent Shinn of Oakland will speak on
early Home Environment" and Miss
Anna NJ. Stovall, principal of the Golden
Gate kindergarten Training School of San
Francisco, will read a paper entitled "The
kindergarten Gospel"
Miss Stovalls contribution should surely
open the field to wide and fruitful range
of discussion. She can speak from prac-
teal experience as resolute and sympa-
thetic teacher, who has not known day s
vacation from her work in the last fifteen
years. Some of her earliest pupils are
teaching in Hawaii, others in Mexico and
some in California.
Miss Shinn will doubtless submit paper
worthy of much consideration. She is a
lady of more than ordinary attainments as
a writer and has presumably studied the
subject of "Early Home Environment in
many of its most interesting phases.

the question that presents itself to every
one of us.
"What are the essential requisites of the
Christian character? What have we who
enter the synagogue that those who remain
outside have not?
''Some define Christianity as Identified
ton with church organizations and con-
formlty to its rites and ceremonies. But
we know that person may belong to ten
churches and yet not be a partaker in that
spiritual life which is the only life. Ii
then it is not a conformity to creed what
is itp
"The word gives us no definition of
Christianity, but leaves us to draw conclu-
sions from general principles. Religion is
defined. but not Christianity. What was
this vision from heaven of which Paul was
not disobedient, referred to in the text?
"To open their eyes and to turn them
from darkness to light, and from the power
of Satan unto God.
'.'At midday, o King, I saw in the way
light from heaven above the brightness
of the sun, shining round about me, and
them that iourneyed with me-
"This was the vision that Paul saw.
cit is hidden from no man. Christianity
from heaven that is brighter than the sun.
Christianity is more than belief, more
than an action, more than a creed, more
than ceremony; it is vision. a life.
"Once when | was pastor of church
down in New England one of my people
came to me in deep Distress woman,
the wife of an agnostic. Her husband was
dying and had refused to have Christian
services at the funeral. Seeing that the
matter was troubling his wife Che was
kind man in his home life), he relented
and expressed a desire for me to officiate,
with the provision that an essay which he
had carried for many years should be read
in conjunction with the services. This
essay proved to be severe arraignment of
the doctrines of Christianity. 1t held that
only weak minds could believe in Chris
tlenlty, because Christ was myth and the
church had been founded by Paul from
vision.
ut held that any system founded upon
vision could not stand the test of sound
reason. i thought a great deal about this
essay and its fallacious argument, perhaps
by reason of the strange manner in which
it came to ME.
Founded upon vision?
"Eyerything great and good upon this
earth to-day and all the glory of the past
have been founded upon visions-visions
form the motive power of the world. No
man or woman has ever or will ever reach
greatness without following vision.
Years ago in London a band of men
and women met to discuss methods look
Ing to the abolition of slavery. Cady
Stanton was one of the women delegates
refused seat after long and bitter discus
sion. She was sent up in the gallery to
listen and learn, but refused a voice in the
proceedings. The treatment she received
there induced her to think of, not the
emancipation Of the black man alone, but
OF the white woman as well. She had a
vision, of which stand here tonight as a
living reality. Our visions lead to higher
lie, to nobler aspirations, to heaven

color at the throat, showed that Susan B.
Anthony does not despise the minor de-
tails of dress.
She did not begin at once to talk of her
mission, as fanatic would have done; on
the contrary, just like any well-bred So
ciety woman Miss Anthony began to chat
about Indifferent subiects-her former visit
to California and her pleasure at again
meeting her old friend, Mrs. Sargent.
When asked how the idea of advocating
suffrage first suggested itself to her mind,
she smilingly disclaimed having originated
the idea that women should vote. II was
not in the first movement, but tell those
who were there that if I came into the
work late have never done ANYTHING else
but work at it from the time 1 did begin
'It was Elizabeth Cady Stanton who be-
gan the woman's movement. Her father
was a lawyer, and as young girl she saw
much of poor women coming to ask him
how to keep money for their families that
they had earned and that drunken hus-
bands had the right to draw and spend.

1.-The money is theirs she would say to
her father. Yes, but the law makes what
they earn their husbands, he would an

Stanton realize that the laws were not
always ITdIneu justly.
when she was young married woman
she was sent to London as a delegate to a
worlds anti-slavery convention. An
other woman delegate was Lucretia Mott
Quaker preacher. Both these women
who had worked as hard as the men, mind
you, in the cause of anti-slavery-were re-
fused seats as delegates, because they were
women. They left the meeting together
and walked the streets of London in indig-
nation.
THAT was in 1910. Eight years afterward
Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Mott, who were
visiting together in Auburn, put notice
in the paper, asking women to meet in q
congress to demand equal recognition in
work and wages. Mrs. Stanton wrote out
a set of resolutions, and she had the sagac
ity to see that the right of voting was what
women must ask for if they wanted equa
recognition in work and wages.
"Mrs. Mott could not understand this

said.
"Mrs. Stanton held to her resolutions
though, but she had not the courage ano

ANNA SHAW breaches.
The Kind Of Christianity Needed
in Our Everyday
ifa

Rev. Anna II. Shaw of Boston, who ar
rived here yesterday morning from the
East for the purpose of attending the
Woman's Congress, occupied the pulpit at
the First Congregational Church last
evening and delivered sermon to many
more people than could find seats in the
roomy edifice, which was crowded to the
doors.
Susan B. Anthony with party of
friends occupied one of the front pews,
while Mrs. Sarah Cooper sat with the
speaker and DR.. G. o. Brown in the pulpit.
Mrs. Cooper said few words calling at
tention to the women's meeting and ex-
tending to all a cordial invitation to be
present.
DR.. Brown introduced the speaker of
the evening. He referred to the previous
occasions upon which he had spoken to
the people of the coming woman, and said
that 1t gave him great pleasure that at last
she had arrived. "Some time ago. con-
tinued DR.. Brown Mrs. Shaw felt that
she had call from God to preach the
gospel. So, after while she induced the
Methodist Conference to ordain her. Now
there is suspicion floating about that she
would like to vote, and | give you notice
now that if she wants to vote she will.
After this is accomplished and the results
felt and appreciated she may take notion
to go to Congress"
In her opening remarks Mrs. Shaw took
occasion to correct the general impression
that she was ordained a preacher in the
Methodist Episcopal church. In that de-
nomination she applied for ordination and
was met by point-blank refusal. Later she
appeared before the Methodist Protestant
Conference, before which body her ordina-
ton vows were taken.
Mrs. Shaw announced the text and pro-
ceeded with her discourse, which was
drawn from Acts XVI :19: "Whereupon,
King Agrippa, was not disobedient
unto the heavenly vision."
Each age" said the speaker, "has its
problems in sociology as well as religion.
The question of this age is not, Is there a
God2 nor are we deeply concerned in the
few superficial speculations as to the
reality OF a future existence. These ques-
tions have been settled and admit of no
further discussion among right-minded
people.

and argued and written to prove that
women should own the money they earn
and have voice IN the government of the
land. At first she was seoffed at and
reviled, put neither ridicule nor abuse could
silence Susan B. Anthony, and to-day her
name has become name for the new
woman to conjure by and for the tyrant
man to quail before.
Twenty-four years ago when Miss An
thony was last in California she was strug-
Cling to obtain believers in her mission.
People listened in half coptemptuous won
der and the majority of them looked upon
her as crank. The quarter of century
that has elapsed since she was here, how
ever, has brought large portion of the
yesterday when Susan B. Anthony arrived
in Oakland she was given a royal welcome
by the ladies of the Woman's Congress,
where she is to speak as the brightest or
nament of the weeks session.
In spite of her advanced years, Miss An
thony did not seem to be fatigued by her
long journey when she was seen in the af-
ternoon at the house of Mrs. Sargent on
Folsom street. One would naturally ex-
pect to find woman of determined aspect
in this champion, who has stood by her
guns through SO many rebuffs, but the old
lady proved to be as gentle-looking and
sweet-voiced as if she had never stirred
from her own hearthstone.
Something above the middle height,
with rather slight figure, Miss Anthony
gives one the impression of an intellectual
woman whose physical health has never
been over-robust. Her delicate, clear-cut
features in repose have sad, somewhat
worn expression, but when she smiles her
whole face lights up, as if illumined from
within. Her soft, white hair yesterday was
parted Madonnawise, in the prevailing
fashion, and her pretty gown of black
satin, relieved by a becoming touch of
