MAY BE DISMISSED.
The Case Against Howells, Charged
With Counterfeiting, Not Yet
Ready for Trial.

United States Attorney Foote has re-
ceived instructions from Washington to
have the case of Howells, charged with
uttering counterfeit coins, continued until
next month. The case was to have come
up on the 7th, but the United States repre-
sentative was not ready to proceed, in
spite of the fact that United States Secret
Service Agent Harris had all his witnesses
subpenaed and wished to go on with the
matter.
Attorney Foote apparently thinks that
the case will not bear second trial after
the disagreement of the jury in the first
trial.
Mr.. Harris is little bit nettIed over the
matter.
81 have been instrumental in the con-
victing of hundreds of counterfeiters
since my connection with the Govern
ment, and never before had such clear
and complete case.
Every link had been caught up until
now escape from San Quentin is a veritable
impossibility. Why, L have collected new
evidence which almost in itself would
cinch this man. If the Government will
only let me handle this case l will Ger
tainly present the strongest mass of facts
and arguments ever submitted to court" !"
Mr.. Harris also expressed an opinion
that the case would eventually be dis
missed unless he was allowed to present
all of his testimony

THE CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL.
1t Considers the Proposition of Build
ing Church Near the
Park.

The question as to whether the Park
Congregational Church, located near the
panhandle, shall receive aid from the
other churches of that denomination or as
burnt out candle cease to exist, was long
and earnestly debated last evening at a
gathering of the Congregational Council.
Every Congregational church in San Fran
cisco, Alameda, Berkeley, Haywards, San
Mateo San Rafael and all but one in Oak
land were represented in the council.
Rev. f. w. Cruzan, the pastor of the
Park Church, laid the case before the
assemb led ministers. He said that SER
vices are now and have been held for some
time past in small hired hall on Fulton
and Baker streets. His flock regard this
arrangement about the same as the general
run OF people regard living in hired rooms.
1t could not be regarded as their home,
and the effect has been plainly demon
strated by the lack of interest in the
church. There is grand field in that dis
trlct for Congregational church work, and
the Presbyterians, recognizing the extent
OF the field, are talking about establishing
church of their denomination there.
The situation is that place of worship
| must be established for the congregation
and Sabbath-school attached or the con-
gregation disbanded. If the latter is to be
the case he would like to know, as he has
received a call from Olivet Church. Ef-
forts have been made to raise the money
for the purchase of suitable lots for a
church building, and only $50 was guaran-
| teed. 1t will take at least $500.
The council went into executive session
| and presented ''result" of its delibera-
tions, expressing it's qualification of the
progress during the past seven months
and an appreciation of the circumstances
and necessity for doing something.
A committee consisting of Rev. J. K.
Harrison, Rev. w. C. Pond, Rev, d. w.
Williams, d. Gilbert Dexter and Mr.. Stone
was appointed to call a conference of the
laymen OF the Congregational churches
and lay the matter before them. If in
their opinion it is the duty of the Congre-
gationalists to raise the required money
the council will meet with the laymen and
devise ways and means to this end

The Supreme Court Renders DIFF
ferent Decisions on Similar
Cases.
THE SAME MEN AFFECTED
Judges Interested in Suits Can No
Longer Choose the Man to
Try Them.

The Supreme Court to-day rendered q
decision concerning certain actions of
Judge Joseph III. Budd, the father of the
Governor, and Judge j. K. Law, which
will arouse particular interest in San
Joaquin and Merced counties. 1t has de-
cided that it was wrong for Judge Law to
insist on having case in which his
brother, T. G. Law, was employed tried
by Judge Budd.
1t seems that J. X. Law and T. C. Law
were partners in the law business They
were interested in a case for Theophile
Remy, but before it came to trial J. K.
Law was elected Superior Judge of
Merced County.
In the course of time the case came UP
before Judge Law, who was once Remy's
attorney. A change of venue was asked
for on the ground of the relationship of
the Judge to T. G. Law. Judge Law re-
fused to hear this motion himself and in
vited Judge Budd to occupy his place. Of
course the argument of relationship and
interest did not hold with Judge Budd
and the change of venue was refused and
the case tried.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. Although that body had affirmed
decision made under exactly similar cir.
cumstances by the same parties short
time before, it refused to do so again and
the request of the plaintiff for a new trial
was granted.
The decision stated that though the case
differed in no particular from that of
Upton VS.. Upton, in which similar pro-
ceeding by the same Judges had been ap-
proved, yet the practice seemed one to be
discouraged. Any reflection on Judge
Budd or Judge Law was particularly dis
claimed. There was, the decision said,
ground for suspicion Of indelicacy which
in matters of that sort were lamentable.
The decision pointed out that by naming
the Judge by whom the motion for a
change of venue was to be considered
Judge Law had practically chosen the
man to try the case which his relationship
to one of the attorneys had precluded him
from trying himself. The court thought
that to one with taste for intrigue the
ability to choose the one to try the case
| would present a more desirable form fol
| corruption than to be able to sit in judg-
ment.
The decision was concurred in by all the
| Justices.

CATHOL|C|Ty IN CHINA,
One Million Native Children of
the Church in the
Empire.
Father Edmond Tells How Americans
Are Generally Detested by
the Chinese.

Rev. Father Edmond, Franciscan
friar, who has been engaged in missionary
work in China for some years, now on a
visit to his order in San Francisco, tells
some interesting stories of his experience
in the Orient. Before going to China he
was engaged in church work in the East
ern States. The Catholic missionaries in
China adopt the costumes of the natives
Father Edmond still retains his queue.
II have been engaged in missionary
work in the province of Hoonan," said
Father Edmond. "The country is divided
into the northern, central and southern
provinces. l speak the central dialect, and
would have difficulty to understand the
dialect of a native of either of the other
provinces. The population of the empire
is estimated at four hundred millions.
"In Hoonan there are over 10000, ,U00
The priests are constantly travelling
through the country, but as they are moi
very numerous they seldom meet
The life of a missionary in China is full
OF difficulties. The Chinese have natural
aversion to all foreigners. whether
Europeans or Americans. We are mis-
trusted by the natives, who, while they
entertain great fear of all white people,
are nevertheless always eager to rise up
against the European devils. as they term
us. Consequently we are ever insecure
from attack.
Americans, as rule, are more
generally hated by the natives. This is
owing to the rigid enforcement of the
exclusion act in this country. The people
generally are familiar with its provisions.
The French and English are also yerv
much dlsliked by the Chinese.
China is divided into two great political
parties. One favors the Emperor, and the
other is in favor of revolution. The latter
is the most powerful. Yet England took
sides with the Emperors party, and as a
result is most thoroughly hated by the
great mass of the people. More trouble
may grow out of the late war, as the large
indemnities demanded by Japan have still
to be paid by China, which, however, is
without the necessary funds.
'"There are 1.000, 900 Catholics in China,
and to attend to their spiritual wants there
are 1000 priests, native and foreign Re-
ligious orders of Sisters are numerous.
They are engaged chiefly IN rescuing aban-
doned children from the streets. At our
mission in Hen-chow-fou there are left on
an average of seven babies daily. The
Chinese converts to the Catholic faith are
very devout, and though some of them do
not see priest for a year Or two at a time
they still practice their religion fervently'

Fallen.
Thrilling Experience of A. R. Crowel
While Shooting in the Suisun
Marshes.

A. X. Crowell, a writer for local sport
ing paper, had narrow escape from death
in strange and horrible form while hunt
ing near Suisun during the past week. In
company with a mum Der of friends he ar
ranged to spend a few days on an ark
anchored in the bay near Suisun.
The party had good shooting and all
went well until one day when Crowell and
companion took one of the small boats
attached to the ark and went on trip to a
slough some distance from the anchorage,
where ducks were said to be plentiful. In
that neighborhood the waterways are mar.
row and tortuous and the nature of the
country makes 1t easy to lose the lay oi
the land.
1t was not long before the pair were COM
pletely mystified as 10 the direction of the
ark and they left their boat and started to
look for it. Then they lost their boat and
only found it after long search. A second
separation resulted from another search
for the ark and this time they failed to
effect meeting.
Crowell's companion returned to the ark
exhausted and reported that he had lost
the journalist in the marsh. No great
anxiety was felt for his safety, though a
watch was kept for signals of distress
until night came on and he had not re-
turned. Then fears were entertained that
he might have fallen into the water and
been drowned, and preparations were
made. for systematic search in the
morning.
AT daylight the entire party started out
and searched for hours without success
Finally one of the searchers heard weak
voice crying "Helpl helpp' and following
the direction of the sound he soon found
the unfortunate man in quagmire up tc

that he could scarcely speak.

some industries it is most difficult to keen
the large quantity of machinery used in

sticky deposits of grease and dirt from ma

about ten or fifteen parts of caustic soda
and 100 parts of ordinary soda. This mix

loosens all grease, oil and dirt, after which
