Woods had anything to do with Miss
Parker's disappearance.
Woods nearest neighbor said this morn
ing: 'Mr. Woods is very quiet man and
kind and open-hearted, but he will drink.
Whenever he has been drinking he breaks
down and is very wretched. We have
noticed him about this week and could see
ne had been drinking. He did not act any
different, however, than he did at other
such times. He often goes away leaving
the place open. He talked freely about his
troubles and seemed to worry over them.
He keeps liquor in the house.
''At no time have we ever seen a woman
at his house, and from what l know of
him, | believe he is as anxious to find Miss
Parker as is her brother"
Woods showed O. reporter a letter fro m
his wife that helps to explain his present
position. In her letter his wife refers to
the drinking habit that has overpowered
him and rendered him incapable of acting
the part of a high-principled man. Mrs.
Woods is at present with her relatives in
Maryland, and she tells how she revisited
the old church and stood before the altar
at which they were married many years
ago.
All through the letter there is evidence
OF very refined nature. There is not a
mention of Miss Parker IN the whole let
ter.

crete foundation shall be composed of one ~
part OF Portland cement, two (2) parts of

The rock must be either blue or gray sand

taking Of such large amount of money
from the City treasury when there is such
crying need of funds to keep business
streets IN repair.
1T would make deficiency in the
Street Department funds at the end of the
fiscal year, and besides, the Supervisors
have no right to appropriate money for
such purpose out of a fund intended ex-
pressly to keep accepted streets in repair.

IGNORED THE COMMITTEE.

Baseball Players Are Suspended, but
Stay Away From the Meeting.
The committee of judges who met last
night at the Olympic Club to decide the
questions involving amateurs and pro-
fessionals in athletic sports decided to
create large vacancy in the baseball club
of the Pacific Athletic Association of the
Amateur Athletic Union. 1t was accom-
plished by declaring ]. Cooney, c. A..
Kann, II. Walter, r. Beckett, f. Monohan,
H. Krug. w. Grumwell and J. Cosgrove,
professional baseball players and dismiss
ing them from the association. ]. Sheehan
was suspended indefinitely.
The committee consists of John Elliott,
w. f. Humphrey and w. Berry. They
had previously sent out notices TO all of
the suspended men ordering them to APP
pear before the august body and hear their
fate, but the ball tossers did the unique
thing of staying decidedly away, and not
a single man appeared to hear the ulti-
matum.
In few words they gave the committee
what is known to the sporting world as the
CLASSY eye" and the marble heart"
The judges go to Oakland tonight to
hold mutilating session at the Reli-
ance Club, where they will go into the foot
ball question on the same basis. They
propose to uphold the dignity of amateur
lshness, even If they are the only people
who are annoyed by it.
In the meantime the Oriel Baseball Club
OF the Olympics will play together for the
year 1896.

Coast Line Is Short.
ened.
Stages Will Run To-Day Between
Santa Barbara and the New
Terminal at Someo.

The Southern Pacific Company's coast
division railway has been extended to So
meo, small place in Santa Barbara
County, eleven miles below Guadalupe, the
last terminus. This new stretch of track
is not destined to lie idle, for this morning
regular trains, both passenger and freight,
will be run over it, and from to-day the
new southern terminal of the coast railway
will be Someo, until another section of the
track shall have been completed further
south.
Now that the gap between Santa Bar
bara and the southern end of the road has
been shortened sufficiently to make a
through trip from Los Angeles by the
coast route possible without any degree of
discomfort stage line will be put in oper-
alton. Beginning to-day the stages will
make regular trips between Santa Barbara
and Someo, connecting with trains at both
terminals. The route lies through pictur-
esque mountains, and affords the novelty
of a California stage ride, which, it is
| thought, will be taken advantage of by
many Eastern tourists.
The first stage from Santa Barbara will
| leave this morning. The day will be
| spent in pleasant drive to Lompoc,
where the travellers will rest over night.
Starting early from Lompoc the stage will
reach Someo after half a days run and
connect with the train coming northward
to Monterey and San Francisco.
| An Eastern excursion train of four
sleeping-cars, composite car, diner and
baggage-car. with 100 passengers, passed
| through Ell Paso yesterday and is to arrive
| in Southern California tomorrow. The
excursionists will separate at Cotton and
scatter throughout California, many of
them availing themselves of the new
through route via Santa Barbara, Monte
reg and the Santa. Clara Valley to San
Francisco. Railroad men say they look
| forward to a large increase in tourist travel
| to this City by this route, which is certain
of popularity. And one pleasing feature
of the new temptation to travel north
ward is that Eastern tourists will see some
OF the prettlest and most prosperous por-
tons of California in their ride from Mon
terey through the Santa Clara Valley.
The first large party over the coast route
| is expected to come from the excursion
| that will reach Cotton Sunday.

stain the pages of New England's history.
In all these instances the church departed
from her province, which is to aid the state
in making better men.
The trainers of our constitution did not
allow considerations of sect or creed to
hamper them in their noble task While
bowling in reverence to the supreme power
which rules the universe, they decreed
that no church should dominate the
Americans OF future generations, and
placed themselves on record as believers
in the great truth that religion is greater
than the church.
"We would all do well to study our
country constitution, and having weighed
it well, to look to it as our supreme law.
The church must be regarded only as a
moral and educational functionary of the
government. To believe that any foreign
power is above our country's laws is to be
faithless to our duty as citizens To
preach so false doctrine from any pulpit
is treason"

TREASON IN THE PULPIT,
Rabbi Voorsanger Is Opposed tc
the Domination of the
Church.
Religious Bodies Considered as Educa.
tional and Moral Aids to the
Government.

A new solution of the church and state
problem was given by the Rev. DIR. Voor-
sanger in his lecture last night at the
Temple Emanu-El. He appeared to
ignore the supernatural idea of church,
divinely constituted and supreme in the
domain of faith and morals, and disap-
sovereignty on the part of any religious
body.
There is nothing supreme in this glori-
Gus country of ours said the reverend
gentleman, "but the constitution. To my
mind, all religious organizations are
merely moral agencies for the formation
an idea is entertained by many of our
fellowcitizens, and inculcated in numer-
Gus pulpits.
There is among us body of believers,
claiming to be true and patriotic citizens,
while recognizing and obeying foreign
spiritual power. What can we think of
such y system? Only this: the tribute
is vowed to pay to its distant sovereign
must detract from their fealty TO the con-
stitution of our country and make them
less perfect citizens.
II could never see any reason for regard
ing one church as being superior to an
OIner. 10 my mlIlu 5tHe hOuldH CHuFcn,
with its well-regulated and aristocratic
hierarchy, is on an equal plane with the
Salvation Army or any other sect. All
churches are more or less alike. They all
teach mildness; and they all have perse-
cuted when they had the chance. Read
the sad story of the revocation OF the edict
of Nantes; look, if you can bear the sight,
at England during the reign of Elizabeth
while even in our own country we have to
deplore the prosecutions which SO deeply
