''f1oaters'' is large, and one Of the means
of capturing such men Is to hold out to
them the warm hope of winning. They

intrepid leader. who encourages the shout

would not otherwise have followed him.
But those who take this view of the mat
ter think also that Mr.. Bryan is OVERRIDING
his part. He is too confident. The people
will see that he is betting on small hand,
and that it is Tot of the grade to win.
There are others who. while confident
themselves that Mr.. Bryan will not win.
are yet of the opinion that he is entirely
sincere in his own confidence that he will.
There is everything in the situation. they
point out. to mislead him. He is living in
an atmosphere of encouragement and ex-
element He has never before seen such
crowds as. for one reason or another. are
attracted to his meetings. He hears from
the committees who call on him and escort
him from one place to another only the
most highly-spiced partisan news. How

but he Is an unusual candidate and Is con-
Quoting an unusual campaign. The Chi

A Word ns to RailrOad-Wreckin

Railroad-wrecking Is one of the Industries
which has contributed much to the discon-
tent now circulating throughout the United
States The process is planned for the ben
eft of the few at the expense Of the many.
local instance of what seems to be the
wrecking game is afforded by the Ecking
ton-Belt situation. While 1t Is true that
neither of the street railroads in question
has ever been an extremely profitable .rop-
erty. yet there have been periods In their
respective histories when their stock was
desirable and when both roads were well
patronized. At that time came the finan-
eiers who are now practically in control and
the work of alternating the public affection
AMI public nickels was commenced with
great vigor. One of the very successful
strokes was the breaking of the Belt" line
so that the heavy summer traffic might be
completely discouraged. This move was so
eminently successful that the projectors
and operators were encouraged to do many
other things that could not be understood
by people who imagined that all street rail-
roads were necessarily run as business in
stitutions. The decadence of both roads
commenced on the day when they passed
into the hands Of one management, since
which time there has been steady downhill
progress. until at last a receivership ap-
peared to be the only solution Of the orob-
lem But that. too. was evidently feature
of the original plan, for the receiver has
petitioned the courts to permit the borrow
ing of money with which to equip the roads
with modern motor. the loan to be Sc
cured by receivers certificates, which are
to constitute first lien upon the property
Should the courts permit the issue Of GER
tifcates. which will. of course. be purchased
by the syndicate which has for some time
held bare control of the double-headed or
ganization. a speedy result there will
ensue the utter worthlessness of all stock
in both roads now held by a large number
Of Washingtonians. The whole affair has
been shrewdiy operated I'm a conscienceless
fashion. but 1t is not yet certain that the
courts will set the seal of their approval
upon the methods which have been used to
deprive Washingtonians of honestly-ac-
quired rights to the end that trio Of Phila-
delphians may improperly prosper

FISH FROM SAN DIEGO.

Lakes Near Sacramento That Have
Been Stocked With Them.
Deputy Fish Commissioners Wilson and
Cross returned from San Diego last week
with third shipment of bass and perch,
which are now enjoying the cool water of
their new homes near Sacramento.
Seventeen large-mouth bass and about
thirty perch were placed in Bushey Lake,
which is about three miles distant from
Sacramento.
Thirty bass and about the same number
of perch were given their liberty in Grape
vine Lake. which is eleven miles from Sac
ramento. The balance of the consign-
ment were placed in Folsom Lake. The
deputies will soon return from another
trip to San Diego with a large number of
bass and perch, which may be placed in
Russian River, near Cloverdale.
A letter to The CALL from a resident of
Duncans Mills states that the fishermen
who live near the mouth of Russian River
have been using nets of very small dimen-
sions with the object of catching small
steelheads, which are now running up the
river in large schools. One day of last
week, with a single haul of net in a deep
pool near the mouth of the Russian, 500
pounds of steelheads were taken. The
fishes that have been captured by illegal
means average about one pound, and if
allowed to ascend the river would stock
the small streams and afford splendid
sport for anglers.

H. A. Mcknight, a laborer, living at 81

CALLED OUT ON STRIKE,
Building Trades Council Actively
Pushing the Working
Card.
One Contractor Wanted to Use Scant.
ling Upon the Visiting Com
mittee.

Early yesterday morning a dozen or
more committees from the Building Trades
Council started out to see that the coun-
ciPs working card is enforced throughout
the City. Each body took a district and
visited every job where building is being
done. AS previously stated in THE CALL
the purpose was to strike every mixed job,
that is where union and non-union men
are at work together, and to uphold the
painters and carpenters demand for S.,
minimum rate OF wages for eight hours
work.
A previous canvass of the field led to the
belief that the majority OF the contractors
were not unfriendly to the unions de-
mands, but it was also known that it
would be necessary to strike number of
jobs. The belief in both instances proved
to be well founded.
At the meeting yesterday the chairmen
of committees reported the results of their
efforts during the earlier part of the day.
In many places they were well received
by the bosses and the union men. Many
of the latter, in spite of previous direc-
tons, had forgotten to take their cards
with them TO work. Their forgetfulness
caused considerable annoyance and not a
few were compelled to quit work and go
for their cards.
1t was not all plain sailing for the COM
mittees and number of strikes were
ordered. On a job on Twenty-fourth and
Folsom streets the committee found the
carpenters working for 81 so day. They
were ordered to strike for So. This so en-
ragged the boss that he decided to do a
little striking on his own hook. he
seized a piece of scantling and
rushed upon the committee, but changed
his mind when he found that they could
do a little of that striking themselves.
He abused the men roundly, but they
stood their ground, and did not leave un-
til the entire job was tied UP, and more
success was acHieved than anticipated, for
there was force of plumbers who are not
attached to any union, but who sympa-
thized with the unions demands.
On the next corner, Twenty-fourth and
Howard Streets another job was struck
for the same reason. The boss was only
paying his men 81 80 and was also having
piecework done. Like the other he, too,
INDUCED in abusing the committee, but to
no purpose.
On McAllister and Baker streets another
job was struck because of the presence of
non-union men On tie job. Several other
unimportant calls to quit work were made
and nearly all responded
Among the Unfair jobs reported was one
in the Mission, where non-union painters
at work for Quadt are painting church.
Another is gang of nine non-union car
penters who are at work constructing the
scenic railway at Sutro Heights. Nothing
could be done with either gang. The
work of yesterday will be resumed with
vigor to-day.

DIVINITY At BERKELEY
The Christian Church to Open a
Seminary at the Uni
versity.
The Regents Approve and 100000 of
Endowment Has Already Been
Secured.

The Christian church is to establish
divinity school in Berkeley in connection
with the State University. Members of
the Board of Regents have been consulted
and have given the plan their Indorse-
ment. More than $4,000 of endowment
has been already secured, and Attorney A.
NJ. Mccoy of Red Bluff is drawing up the
articles of incorporation. The school will
open in the fall at the same time with the
university.
"The Christian church has had several
divinity schools in the West heretofore"
said Rev. w. A. Gardner, pastor of the
West Side Christian Church, yesterday,
"but we have decided to abandon them
or rather, to consolidate them-and to de-
vote all our energies to the Berkeley
school. You see we have come to the
conclusion that we cannot successfully
compete with the great universities, and
so we propose to cooperate.
1.-The new institution will be called the
Berkeley Bible Seminary, and 1t will open
in the fall with about thirty students.
The name Bible Seminary is peculiarly
appropriate for a divinity school of our
church for the reason that we have cut
loose from all human creeds and systems
of theology and devote our chief
attention to a study of the Scripture
itself, leaving each student free to Judge of
its teachings and to interpret its text for
himself.
"The seminary will be connected with
the university to degree. President Ke!-
Iogg and others of the regents have been
consulted and they favor US. OF course
any one may enter the university, but we
will have our own professor of moral phil
osophy, and it has been conceded to us
that our students, provided our professor
is satisfactory to the regents, may count
their course with our professor of philoso-
ply in their regular work for their degree
and will not be obliged to study under
Professor Howison.
"The course of study? Well, asto that
cannot accurately inform you. Professor
]. NJ. Morse of Modesto and Professor III.
d. McAneney compose the committee
having that in charge. In our schools,
however, we have always had two regular
courses. One lasting two years deals
almost exclusively with the Bible and
textbooks bearing thereon; the other,
lasting four years, includes the first and
adds many branches and the languages
as well. At Berkeley now Hebrew is
taught in the regular course and this was
brought about chiefly through our lnflu-

called on her at the lodging house where
she stopped. Both times he came up on
one afternoon train and returned by the
next, remaining only about an hour.
When asked why she had come to
Stockton she laughed and answered. ooh.
that's my business" Her host, to whose
luncheon table she was a self-invited guest
on the last day of her stay, questioned her
as TO the reason for her evasion of the
trial and her refusal to testify. She de-

Campbell yesterday morning to answer
to the charge.
1t developed that the defendant is a re-

and came here to be treated for pulmonary
troubles. He was stopping at the New

the proprietor of the hotel testified posi-
lively that he did not leave his room on the
evening in question, which was corrobo-

Mrs. Geary said she identified him

the case, as he considered an alibi had
been established.
