SAILORS DESERT.
Something Radically Wrong on
Board the Olympia.

San Diego. Cal, April 25.-Sailors from
the Olympia who were ashore here report
that over sixty men have deserted from
the cruiser on this trip. although there
have been no wholesale assertions here
owing to her being too far Off shore. They
assert that if she was brought into the
harbor, nearly all the men would leave
her like rats at the first opportunity. The
complaints, unusual in severity, assert
cruelty and insufficient rations, and are
loud and deep. None of the officers will
talk, but from the unanimous growing
among the men it is believed that there
is something radically wrong on board
the big ship, and that it demands an in
vestigation by the navy department.

CLARK MAKES DENIAL.
He Knows Nothing Bearing on the
Durrant Case.

BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 6. - Charles
Clark, the missing witness in the case of
Theodore Durrant, to be tried in San
Francisco for the Emmanuel Church muir
ders, was interviewed tonight just before
his departure for the West. He emphat-
ically declared that he knew absolutely
nothing which had any bearing on the
murders, and that because of a casual re-
mark the lawy ers for the defense had
sought to stay proceedings through the
use OF his name. He said he did not know
Durrant and never saw him.
One of the murdered girls, Blanche
Lamont, he knew by sight, but he had
never met her in fact. He had seen her on
streetcar with p young man, and he had
made remark to that effect to a lawyer.
The outcome has been his figuring as the
Important witness. He had thought it
over for days, and had concluded that it
was fully two or three weeks before the
murder when he last saw the girl, and
that her companion was not Durrant.

OUR DENTISTS WITHDRAW,
They Have Left the National

Not Satisfied With Eastern
Concerns.

The State Board of Dental Examiners,
holding few days session at the rooms
of the Stomatological Society, have, by a
unanimous vote, Withdrawn from the Ma
tienal Dental Association of Dental Exami-
ners now in session at Asbury Park, N. j..
DR.. w. J. Younger, president of the State
Board of Examiners, states as reason for
the action that 'the National Association
recognized dental institutions of instruc-
ton with which the California State Board
is not satisfied" He said, further:
There are a great many institutions In the
East which graduate many incompetent stu
dents. They seem TO be actuated more bya desire
to make all the money possible than by profes-
sional pride, and the California board Will not
recognize these gentlemen.
Already we have spent 500 IN attorneys
fees to prohibit dentist named van Vlack,
located in Los Angeles, practicing dentistry IN
California. II is q graduate from an eastern
institution that we do not recognize, ana we
cannot therefore recognize its graduates.
Weare now waiting the decision OF Supe-
rior Judge in Los Angeles County TO see
whether or no we will be upheld in this matter.
So far as know, California is the first state 10

believe it will be the entering wedge Tor several

nance incompetent and amateur dentists In this

which would be the death penalty, on cir
cumstantial evidence, except it was very
strong. He had formed an opinion on the
case, but that opinion was not so strong
that he could not be governed by the law
and the evidence.
You feel" said the District Attorney,
that Notwithstanding any opinion you
may have, if sworn as juror you could
act on the law and the evidence?''
Certainly" said the witness.
Later the venireman stated that he
thought he was in condition of mind to
be fair and impartial juror in the case.
Passed to the defense, he stated that he
would take circumstantial evidence with a
good deal of caution, and was fully aware
that testimony as to Identification was
liable to mistake. Then Mr.. Hobbs stated
that his son was member of the signal
corps to which Durrant belonged at the
time he was arrested. but he was positive
that that would not affect him in arriving
at a verdict.
Mr.. Hobbs was passed by the defense.

Green streets, DEVELOPED, after a severe ex-
animation, an opinion which only the
strongest kind of evidence would remove.
He was challenged by the defense and re-

PEOPLE MUST VOTE.
Rev. George A. Henning's Hope of Social
Reform Based on General Discus
sion of Public Questions.

The Rev. George A. Henning presented
some pronounced views last night in a
paper on 1.-THE Nation" read before the
Institute of Applied Christianity.
He said that the Nation had missed its
aim; that millions were really not free;
that with the few wealth was steadily in
creasing, while the many were growing
poorer; that it was not the fittest who sur
vived, but the cunningest. He continued:
Poverty is not providential or God would not
have supplied the natural food in such abund-
ance for man. Something is wrong when men
go hungry in country that could support
many times its present population. Bad legis-
lation instituted through public ignorance is
largely responsible for the present conditions.
The ballot more generally and intelligently
used will check the ever increasing power of
the moneyed minority; and when the people
shall have been induced to discuss public mat
tiers among themselves and to think and then
to vote as they seriously think, the present
social depression will no longer exist.
Class movements are for class interests po-
litical platforms are mere makeshifts. Popular
reforms can only come completely and success
fully from the people. 1t is for the people to
form its local clubs, and to discuss in public
meeting places, public squares and in
churches the measures which they shall sup
port at the polls; be they woman suffrage, the
referendum, single tax, or Government control
OF railroads. The people must not forget that
they are sovereign, and that the earth is the
Lords, that in the people are inherent all the
powers of government.
Just one thing more is necessary to cause the
most cruel revolution ever known on the earth,
and that is to create property qualification.
The hope of the people in restoring more
equitable public footing is to find some means
that the moneyed powers have not already
fortified themselves against

Gus parts of the City, and that the min

fact that Mr.. Hobbs son was member of
the signal corps with Durrant might have
some effect on the prospective juror.
Once again five veniremen were called
and excused on the ground that. they were
preludlced against circumStant1al evidence
or were possessed of firm opinions In the
matter. They were NJ. Tiedemann, 7001@
McAllister street; c. HI. Palache, 800 Eddy
street; E. Buzzini, 80 Ninth street; }. A.
Miller and Philip Fabian, of 1922 Broad
way.
Five more veniremen were then called,
sworn and examined. A. c. Harrison had
such an opinion that the strongest KIND OF
evidence only would remove. He was
challenged and excused. j. Powers,
livery-stable keeper at 2125 Mission street,
was allowed to go for the same reason.
A. Burmeister, grocer and liquor-dealer
at 1905 California street. would not bring
IN verdict when it was matter OF life
and death on circumstantial evidence. He
was challenged and excused.
otto Schinkel 800 Potrero avenue, was
excused on the ground that he had a
strong opinion on the case, when 1t would
take evidence to remove. ii. IL. Young, a
restaurant-keeper at 228 Kearny street,
was challenged and excused on the same
ground.
Once again the tin box was rolled around
and five veniremen sworn. Il. K. Lilien-
thal, wholesale liquor-dea-er, was chal-
lenged and excused, on the ground that
he had formed a fixed opinion on the case.
w. L. Gorham of 1924 Clay street devel
oped deafness that lncapacitated him
from service and was excused.
William Ferlitz, 1881 Fourth street, was
challenged by the defense and excused for
the reason that he had a firm and fixed
opinion.
Alec Williams of 404 Ellis street was ex-
cused on the ground that his name was
not on the assessment-roll.
Simon Mack of 1929 Bush street was
challenged on the ground that he would
not return verdict of guilty on circum-
stantial evidence. He was excused.
The court ordered another draft on the
round tin box, but Clerk Morris announced
that the panel had been exhausted. Upon
this the court admonished the jurors and

Foggy weather operated to make vacant
seats at the Durrant trial yesterday morn
ing, despite the fact that whisperings Of
mystery concerning the jury were in the
air. Not more than half the seats were
filled at 10 o'clock and there was general
blue-nosed feeling in the courtroom.
Judge Murphy Immediately ordered the
call of the roll of jurors sworn and each OF
the seven answered their names. The
names of the veniremen were then called
and but twenty-four responded out OF the
panel of fifty, the Sheriff reporting seven
teen not found.
81 desire to say to the gentlemen sum-
moned as jurors in this case, +" began Judge
Murphy, that we have now been going on
for nearly two weeks trying to get jury
in this case, and the court regrets exceed
ingly that there is a disposition on the
part of citizens not to do their duty as
Jurors. Almost every device is resorted to
to shirk this duty-because it is duty
every citizen owes to the community and
to the law to perform jury duty when
called upon. 1t is one of the equivalents
the citizens give for the protection of the
law that is afforded them. Now, do not
desire to consume the time of the court
with hearing excuses that do not justify
the time of the court in excusing people
from jury duty, SO that it will be perfectly
useless to complain that you may suffer in
your business, unless that suffering will be
OF material injury. Now, will hear such
excuses as jurors have to Offer"
Seventeen veniremen rose up in their
places, put their hands in the air and swore
to tell the truth. In single file they
reached the ear of the court and poured
into it the reasons they had for being re-
enteen seemed to have sufficient grounds
for excuse and they were excused, while
the other dozen, three of whom pleaded
deafness, were returned to their seats.

one of the retiring veniremen.
"Well, we'll talk into your other cal"
replied his Honor, and this deaf man took
his seat in disgust.
The names of five veniremen were called
and they took their seats in the box and
were sworn, Mr.. Barnes making his state
ment of the case.
William T. Segelpe of 718 Valencia street,
proprietor of the Valencia-street Hotel,
was challenged for cause by the prosecu-
ton by reason of the fact that he had an
opinion on the case which could only be
removed by very strong evidence. The
challenge was allowed.
Frederick Hobbs OF 1016 Bush street was
next examined. He answered the ques-
tions of the District Attorney satisfactorily,
stating, however, that he would be very
reluctant to join in verdict. the result of
