SPARE SAW THE KILLING.
He Admitted 1t on the Witness-Stand
in Judge Morrow's
Court.

Herman Sparf admitted for the first time
any participation i'll the death of Mate
Fitzgerald of the bark Hesper in Judge
McKenna's court Thursday. The second
trial of the accused has been in progress
for several days, but nothing which had
not previously been testified to was adj
duced.
The. matter was brought out when Sparf
and the question put to him as to what he
knew of the killing of the mate. He then
told the whole story from his point of
view, claiming that st. Clair had struck
the blow with Ratchet, which killed the
officer; that he was to have called the cap
tain on deck in order that he might also be
done away with, but that instead Of doing

VOLUNTEERS,
Held Their Annual Reunion

Resolutions In Memory of an OLD
Member of the "Call"
Staff.

The Society of California Volunteers
held their annual reunion and banquet
Thursday evening at the Occidental Hotel.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year:
President, Lysander Washburn; first vice
president, II; l.. Tickner; second vice-presi-
dent, l.. n. Tower; corresponding secretary,
James l.. Holman; treasurer, C. w. Gordon
recording secretary, J. c. Innes.
William F. Swasey offered set of reso-
lutions on the death of their comrade,
David J. Williamson, who, before he went
to the war, was one of the staff of the
MORNING CALL. In presenting the resolu-
tons, which were adopted, he made the
following remarks:
In Offering these resolutions 7 feel it is not
only duty, but sad qualification, to say
some kindly words in memory of our late COM
rade, to pay brief but just tribute to his many
noble and generous qualities, and to refer
lovingly to those personal traits and attributes
that endeared him to all who came in contact
with him, but such undue preparation cannot
! do justice to the subject.
AS our minds revert back through the long,
/ dim and hay vista of the past, and our memo

HEBRON UPHELD.
Gilbert Dexter Thinks the Professor Has
Been Unjustly Attacked-True
Christianity.

To the Editor of the Call. In response
to your request for statement of my posi-
ton in the present controversy over the
teachings of the Rev. DR.. George D. Her.
ron, I would say: l largely agree with
Professor Heron as read him in his pub
lished works and as | have heard him
from the lecture platform. There are 9TH
ers who think they have found anarchy
and social ruin in his books, and / freely
concede their right to this opinion, al
though l must confess that l have been
unable to find anything contrary to the
teachings of Jesus or true Christianity.
While have no intention OF questioning
the motives of Professor Herron's enc
mics, | will say that, in my opinion, their
methods of attack have been eminently
unfair, and in this respect: They have
culled from his works isolated sentences
and made texts thereof to preach long de-
nunciations. This method is not new, but
the same persons who pursue 1T now OBJ
ject to it when it is used, as it often is, in
attempts to pull down the Bible.
Now, what do the opponents OF Heron
accuse him of? OF nothing less 'than at
tempting to overturn society! In fact, he
merely points out that society is not living
in all things as he believes that Jesus
taught that it should live, that some re-
form must come, and that it had best come
from the forces of good rather than from
those of evil. AS for myself | am free'to say
that if it be found that society is wrong
here or wrong there, the error should and
some time will be remedied. Is this an
archy?
Wherever DIR. Heron has been heard
and read he has won friends. Like unto
all men of positive mind and conviction,
he has his enemies, but his friends are
and inevitably must be-more than these,
for he is the friend of that vast majority of
our people who are not content to pause
forever in the slough of to-day, but look
toward a better morrow.

Jules Lemaitre, the New Immortal.

The French academy has elected Jules
Lemaitre. the poet and critic, to member
ship in succession to Jean Victor Duruy.
the historian Jules de Ia Fosse received
8 votes and Emile Zola /.
OF NJ. Lemaihre and his work Brander
Mathews once said: He has the ease,
the grace, the wit. the lightness OF touch
and the certainty of execution charac-
teristic of the best French authors. Be-
hind these charms he has the love OF
clearness. of order. OF symmetry-in a
word, of art-which is among the most
marked OF French qualities. He dfslikes
extravaganza OF any kind; he hates harsh
ness, violence. brutality. He inherits the
Latin tradition and he has fed fat on the
poetry OF Greece and Rome"
NJ Jules Lemaitre Is still young man.
He was born in 1853 in the little village OF
Vennecy, on the edge Of the forest of Or
leans. He attended school at Orleans and
then In Paris, and when he was 10 he
entered the normal school. In 1915. at
the age Of y. he was graduated from the
normal school with high honors, and he
was at once sent to the Lycee OF Havre as
professor OF rhetoric. Here he stayed five
years, teaching. and yet finding time to
write that first volume OF verse with
which most authors begin their literary
career.
In 1880 he published these poems. and
in the same year ne was promoted and
sent to Algiers. In 1883 he brought out a
second book of rhymes and he presented
his double theses to the Sorbonne. where
upon he was made doctor OF letters. The
thesis in French. a study of the plays OF
Dancourt and OF the course OF the French
comedy after the death OF Moliere, was
quite unconventional IN its individuality,
as any one may see now that 1t has been
published. He was again promoted, but
he already thought Of giving up his pro-
fessorsh9p to venture into literature. In
1884 he asked for leave OF absence and
went to Paris, where he began TO contrib
ute regularly to the Revue Bleue. the most
literary and the most independent OF the
French weekly journals. He was I'M
known in October, 1854. and in December
he was famous.
A few months later, when NJ. j. j. Weiss
resigned, NJ I.emaitre was appointed dra-
matte critic OF the Journal oes Debates.

been that the Leanders could not, for some
reason. start In that case the Cornells
were entitled TO row the course and claim
the race.
When, therefore, we suggest that the
race be rowed over again, II is because We
