have commanded the solid Republican

Of his party's support and got 1t in the

The Clergyman's Principles Versus
the Missions NeceS-
sites.

Rev. Hobart Chetwood has rendered his
resignation as incumbent of st. James
Episcopal Mission, on Clement street, near
Sixth avenue, and the announcement was
made yesterday that Bishop Nichols had
accepted the resignation.
For number of months past Mr.. Chet-
wood, who is well known in this City as
the editor OF the Pacific Churchman, has
otficiated as missionary to the Episcopal
population of the Richmond district, and
the result has been the spiritual ediica-
tion and uplifting of every one concerned.
The congre cation of the mission grew dur
ing his pastorate, and his preaching was
famed from one end to the other of Point
LOboS avenue.
But, in spite Of all these promising con-
ditions, there was little rift in the congre-
CATION, which has been slowly widening
ever since the winter season of concerts,
cantatas and church festivals began. The
rift did not denote any i'll feeling on either
side; it was a difference of opinion or of
principle rather, between the clergyman
and his parishloners, but it has led to the
Rev. Hobart Chetwood's resignation, and
left his flock pastorless mourning his de-
parture.
In order to understand thoroughly the
grounds taken by Mr.. Chetwood and his
pdlloHloIleIs' IL III uSL De eA pldlneu JldI SU.
James Mission, like a great many other
spiritual corporations, is not rich in this
worlds goods.
The Guild Hall, on Clement street,
where the congregation meets to worship,
has been built, but by no means fully paid
for, by the church members. In addition
to the interest on the loan for the Guild
Hall there are taxes and other necessary
expenses to meet.
The congregation has been in the habit of
raising the money by giving concerts,
comedies, cantatas, teas, birthday partie 5
and other mild forms of dissipation of the
common variety.
What Mr.. Chetwood objected to was the
com binaion.
Holy shows, he gave his people to under
stand, were not in his line at all. The
church was a church and the theater was

PARDINI ON TRIAL.
Two of His Supposed Victims Are
Placed on tho Witness
Stand.

Judge Wallace's courtroom would have
been crowded to suffocation yesterday had
not his Honor ordered the doors locked,
no one being admitted who had no bust
ness there. Eugene Pardlni, accused of
perverting the morals of mum Der of young
girls, was on trial.
Louise Oliver was the first of the alleged
victims placed on the stand. The girl is
over Is years of age, though no taller than
most girls of 8 or 9. She was self-possessed
and gave some shocking testimony with
pparent unconcern.
Another supposed victim is little Minnie
E gan, who also testified. She looked like
a little child in shabby dress and worn red
Tam O'Shanter and seemed nervous and
frightened. Apparently she is not over II
years of age and seems unfamiliar with
vice.
Secretary Kane of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice and Policeman Cole
man gave details of Pardini's arrest in
November and NJ. II. Lichtenstein, a
pawnbroker, near the DEFENDANTS late
place of business, gave testimony in favor
of the accused mans character.
Much of the testimony was unfit for
o ublication and considerable time was
taken up in making the witnesses describe
t he premises where the crimes are said to
have been perpetrated.

The memory of A. ]. Moul6er, the re-
Gently deceased Superintendent of Public
Schools, will be perpetuated by means OF
q memorial bed in the Children's Hospi-
tai, where unfortunate little ones can be
given the cares and attention their condi-

cure suitable memorial to the deceased
official. Shortly afterward the teachers
voluntarily started a subscription among
themselves and raised substantial fund
which was recently turned over to the
committee with power to expend it ac-
cordlng to its own judgment.
The committee met yesterday to discuss
the matter, and decided to perpetuate the
memorial.
The treasurer's report showed that 1913
had been collected, of which $3.50 had been
spent III hitting up the cot, and enough
more In other expenses to leave a balance
OF $50 on hand. This will be placed in the

It was also decided that the memorial

The stockholders of the California Fruit
Exchange held their annual meeting yes

reelection of the old directors and officers

president, Philo Hersey; secretary and
treasurer, John Markley; dlrectors-F. NJ.
Righter, H. c. Morrill,, D. T. Fowler, D.
w. Parkhurst, r. Friselle, w. ]. Dobbins,

stockholders requested the directors to ap-
point as manager r. w. Hersey of the
State Exchange for the ensuing year. He
is the manager of the California Dried
Fruit Agency, which is an organization OF
the fruit exchanges of Santa Clara County.
The intent of this movement is to bring
all the exchanges of the State into close
relations, upon the lines agreed upon at
a convention of fruit exchanges held in
this City last year.
Those present declared themselves in
favor of free market on the water front
of this City, under such regulations as
would afford the producer due protection,
and it was decided that the exchange
would be ready to accept any duty in con-
nection with the enterprise that will be
of advantage to the public. Edward F.
Adams was appointed as committee to
represent the exchange in a conference
with the Harbor Commissioners and at all
meetings called to consider the subject.

DESMOND GIRLS FOUND.
Trapped After Weeks of Patient
Search by Policeman
Rourke.
The Sisters Are Important Witnesses
Against Peter F. Lane, the Aged
Capitalist.

The Desmond sisters, Hannah and Liz
zie, have been found, and when the trial
OF Peter F. Lane, the aged capitalist, for
felonious assault upon little girls comes on
in the Superior Court next week they will
be on hand to give their evidence.
Hannah is Is years of age and Lizzie IL.
Hannah acted as an agent fer Lane in get
ting little girls to go to his house, and was
paid small sums of money for her services.
AT the time of Lanes arrest Policeman
Rourke, who was the means of exposing
the scandal, placed some of the little girls
under arrest, so that they could be held as
witnesses, but when he went to the Des-
mond house he found to his chagrin that
the two girls had flown. Lane had that
seen IN the afternoon entering and leaving
the Desmond dwelling. 1t was broadly
asserted that the girls parents had been
paid to keep them out of the way.
Rourke has been persistently hunting for
the missing girls and it was not till
Wednesday when he had obtained the
assistance of Policeman Sylvester that he
obtained a clew to their whereabouts.
They learned that the girls were living
with Mrs. Reese, S13 Camp street. They
went there that night, but the girls were
on the alert and escaped by the rear door.
The officers chased them over fences for
some distance, but they had too great a
start.
All that night the officers continued
their search without result, but yesterday
they ascertained that the girls had fed TO
the house OF Leonard Brunt, 1136 York
| street. Last night, during the rainstorm,
the officers went to Brunt's house. Rourke
went to the front and Sylvester to the rear
The girls made an attempt to escape, but
when they saw it was useless they laughed

CameIIia Roderiguez Seriously Injured
by a Mission Car.
AS car 1886 of the Ingleside division of
the Mission-street line was on it's way to
Ingleside last night between and 9
o'clock the motorman noticed a man
lying on the inward track near the foot OF
College Hill. Car 1896 was approaching
on its way to the City and the man was
placed on board and taken to the power
house at Twentv-ninth street. There the
patrol wagon was summoned from the
Seventeenth-street station and he was
taken to the City and County Hospital.
The man said his name was CameIlia
Roderiguez and said he was cigar-maker
living at u Hinckley alley. He was walk.
ing along the track eating a piece of bread
when a car came up behind him and
knocked him down. Both bones of his
right leg were broken and his left elbow
was crushed to pieces, and he appeared to
be suffering from internal injuries. None
of the carmen on the route appeared to
know anything about the accident when
questioned by the police last night AS
the victim is 81 years of age, his Injuries
are regarded as being of a very serious
nature.

theater and he did not want to see the
churches competing with the givers of
secular entertainments for the sake of
tlthy lucre.
Free entertainments for the amusement t
OF his flock Mr.. Chetwood was perfectly
wiling to preside over, but he could not
bring himself to look toward holy shows
as source of income to the church.
1T is our necessities against our pastor s
principles" said the flock, but they re-
trained for some time from giving show,
except once, when the tax man became
very pressing. AT Christmas, however,
they burst out into another entertain
ment, at which, to the clergyman's sor-
row, an admission fee was charged. That
entertainment virtually closed the deal
between Rev. Hobart Chetwood and the
st. James Mission. The pastor has since
resigned.
There is nothing but the best possible
iieeiIng on both sides, however. The par
ishloners say Mr.. Chetwood has always
neen accustomed to large churches and
GOES not understand the necessities of q
struggling mission.

The best friends of the law doubt that it
Will stand. The main points which will be
urged against it are that it is special and
prohibited legislation in that it applies to
certain counties only
Section 25 of article " of the constitu-
tion says:
The Legislature shall not pass local or special
Jaws Jaw IN any OF the following enumerated cases.
Ninth = Regulating county and township
business or the election of county township

The law in question is held to be an at
tempt to regulate the elective franchise

state. 1t IS case where general law
can be made applicable" 1t is held to be
prohibited IN the provisions quoted above.
Section ii of article l of the constitution
requires that ''all laws of general nature

to establish system of county govern
ments which shall be uniform throughout

Thus, if the old system of political pri-
mares Is to survive a while longer 1t will
be because the new law does not apply to
the whole State. The law was gotten up
by Martin Kelly and Thomas Y. Gator.
Frank D. Ryan, District Attorney of
Sacramento County, who will oppose Mr..
Gett's motion for a writ of mandamus, has
no doubt but that the primary law Will be
declared invalid.
There can be no doubt about its being
unconstitutional, be said. when the
question was first broached the Supervisors

convinced me that the law could not stand.

gan.
THE lower courts upheld my position.
Mr.. Gett appealed the case, but there will
be nothing for the Supreme Judges to do
under the law but affirm the findings of
! the lower court
II am glad that the question was raised
at this early day. Had it been overlooked
till after the elections great confusion and
enormous expense would undoubtedly
have been occasioned."
