BuiIt by Napoleon.

Among the many things that Napoleno
did for Germany was the construction of a
highway between Hamburg, Bremen and
Heer. Until the beginning of the century
good roads were unknown in that vicinity
and it was reserved for the French engi-
neers to show the Hanoverians and their
neighbors how to improve their highways
by means of the powders found on the
plain in which the cities are situated. The
road mentioned is generally straight, and
exists to-day practically as built. 1t has a
middle-paved way 14s4 feet wide, which is
used for heavy teaming. On one side OF
this is broken-stone road 1114 feet wide,
and on the other side is dirt road of equal
width for farm trucking during the sum-
mer. Outside the broken-stone road is
a footpath 4 feet wide, and outside the dirt
road is benching 81 feet wide. In repair
ing these and similar roads it became more
and more difficult TO secure powders, so
Stag from blast furnaces was substituted,
and there are now about $40 miles of Stag
roads in the province of Hanover.

BROWN WILL NOT RESIGN.
Mode of Procedure In Case Charges
Are Preferred Against the
Pastor.

D. Gilbert Dexter and Captain w. +.
Cook, deacons of the First Congregational
Church, declined to say anything yester-
day about the letters said to have been
written by Miss Matte Overman, in which
she tells the story of her relations with
Rev. DR.. Brown.
$50 far as l know" said Mr.. Dexter,
'the Rev. Mr.. Brown has not signified his
intention of resigning, and if he had
think would know something of it. 1t is
my belief, from what 1 know of Mr.. Brown,
that he will not resign. So far nothing
has been done in the line of asking Mr..
Brown for his resignation, nor have any
charges been preferred against him.
. ga statement has been published to the
effect that ii there should be any inquiry
into this matter or demand for resignation
it would become the duty of the trustees of
the church to attend to that matter. That
is a mistake. The trustees do not have
control of that matter. 1t belongs 10 the
standing committee, of which the board Of
deacons forms part.
''The trustees have only charge of finan-
cial matters" said Deacon Cook. "If they
saw fit they might reduce the salary of Mr..
Brown to 81 year, and he would still be
pastor OF the church if he saw fit to accept
that as salary"
ANY member OF the congregation" con-
tinued Mr.. Dexter, could prefer charges
against the pastor, and these would be
referred to the standing committee or the
board OF deacons, and, if it was determined
that there was any merit in them, the
matter would then be left to the congrega-
ton for trial and determination. The con-
gregatlon could, however, have the whole
matter investigated by a special committee

WILL STAND BY DR.. BROWN.
DR.. Mclean VIII Not Forsake the
Pastor Until He Is Proven
GuiItU

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 7.-Rev. J. K.
Mclean, DID,, is dean of the Congrega-
tional ministers of the Pacific Coast, and
for twenty-five years has been pastor of
the First Congregational Church of Oak
land. Some six months ago he resigned
to accept the presidency of the Pa
cific Theological Seminary. His views
regarding what steps may or can be
taken by the church Of which DR.. Brown
is pastor will be received with all the
weight that his standing gives it.
II feel" said he last night, "that |
should stand by Dr.. Brown until he is
proven guilty. In our relationship as
Christian men and members of the same
denomination we naturally suppose that
all are what they represent themselves
and are real Christians, equally interested
in seeing the cause advanced. The church,
| think, should look at it in the same
light. In all my experience as a minister
| have never been where minister of our
denomination has been tried by the church,
and do not know just what the procedure
would be from experience.
However l think that nothing should
be done until the trial now in progress is
completed. If there is evidence brought
out which the members of the church feel
is inconsistent with the standing of Dr.
Brown as their pastor, any one member
can file charges and trial Will have 10 be
held. a court can compel witnesses to
attend and testify. A church inquiry can
not; so it is usually held after the court
trial, and the records of that trial can be
introduced as evidence. In such a case
DIR. Brown would be given due notice of
the trial and copy of the charge. He
would then be requested to make an an
swer. After full hearing verdict would
be rendered Tor or against him. Ii it was
against him he would be disfelow shipped.
SIN reading over what has been pub
lished regarding the trouble | have seen
nothing that is at all criminal charged
against DR.. Brown. At the most it looks
as if he had been guilty of paying marked
attention TO women of his congregation.
1t is bad affair at worst, and coming as
it does after the trouble OF that church
with Rev. DR.. Barrows, is to be greatly
lamented. 1t is a great blow to Chris
tlanlty here on the coast. Every one who
has scheme to work comes here, and,
under the cloak of being a Christian
worker, gets a good footing.
Where the scheme is worked the church
gets all the blame. / do not believe the
church should do anything now until the
present trial ends. As far as I know they
are not arranging for anything at present
las far as the Congress ational Club is con-
cerned they received his statement a week
ago Monday and Endorsed his act to cap
ture the one who was attempting to black
mail him. All this other was not known
to US at that time. We shall do nothing
more at present, but await the action of the
courts"

DR.. BROWN is SILENT.
The Pastor Says That He Is Acting
Under the Advice Of His
ATTORNEY

The Rev. DR.. Brown is silent He will
not discuss the Overman-Tunnell letters or
any other phase of the great church scan
dial.
Press representatives were denied adj
mittance to the pastors residence yester-
day. Every effort was made to give DR..
Brown an opportunity to defend himself,
but he refused to make a statement for
publication.
DR.. Brown was called up by telephone
at his residence last night.
Doctor" said the reporter, "THE CALL
is willing to publish statement from you
in this -
II have nothing to say" interrupted DR..
Brown.
Don't you think that you owe it to
your people, that is your flock, to make a
public statement of your positionP"
MY lawyers will not allow me to speak, "

cit certainly would not injure your po-
sition as plaintiff in the case against Mrs.
Davidson to discuss late developments.
Besides, your people were still standing by
you. and -"
Yes, and they will stand by me, you
can depend on that" replied DR.. Brown
in hopeful voice.

Why does he not do so and prevent further
probing into this awful sore2 I have
not called upon him, as I felt I should
do, because 1 could not offer him words of
encouragement which have not in my heart.
Why does he. not confess his sin before God
and man. and in repentance in some obscure
place begin life anew?
j do not know what the church will do in
this matter, for have not talked with mem
bers concerning it, We will leave it with the
deacons, trusting in their wisdom and judg-
ment TO DO that which is best for all con-
cerned.
This terrible affair will give the church set
back from which it will not recover in ten
years. 1t will be taken uphy the enemies OF
religion as cudgel, and while it will not in
Jure the cause to a material extent it will new
ertheless do no good. The First Congregational
church will rise again, and in the years that
are to come. will wipe out the stain these
awful events have placed upon it. That church
has been my home for years, but last Sunday
1t appeared to me as G. mausoleum. Words
cannot express the sorrow 1 have experienced
in the past few days, filled as they were with
such frightful disclosures,

instance, is sim ply form of torture. In
that you are mistaken. The Indian be-
lieves that no man can go to the happy
hunting ground-heaven as we call it
who has been deprived of his hair. Their
motive in scalping victim is to carry out
hendish hatred to its utmost by prevent
ing him from having happy hereafter.
Therefore, TO deprive an Indian of his
scalp is to rob him of his hope of happy
hereafter. My men never kill an Indian
without scalping him, and the Indians
know that. The forty men | will select for
this expedition are unerring in their aim
with the rifle. They can shoot sixteen
shots in sixteen seconds, and every ball
means dead Indian, and every dead In
dian means q scalp, and every scalp means
a warrior deprived eternally OF a cnance of
ever reaching the happy hunting ground.
Ny forty men will walk from here TO Fort
q. f. Smith without firing a shot"
''lncredible," said Governor Smith.
True, said Captain McCabe.
What was the resut2
Forty men walked the $50 miles from
Bozeman to Fort c. T. Smith. Indians
watched them on every side. By day
their progress was signaled by circling
columns of smoke and by night by fire
from mountain tops. But not a shot was
fired. When they got within sight of
Fort c. F. Smith the 1000 whooping Sioux
who held the garrison in siege fed, and
the forty frontiersmen from Bozeman
marched in and escorted the 200 Union
soldiers back to the Territorial capital
without the loss of life. Not shot had
been fired. Not a scalp had been lifted.

.P|L|NG IN CHINA BASIN,
San Francisco and San Joaquin
Valley Road at Work
There.
Large Contracts for More Building
Material Are Let to Californian
Contractors.

The San Francisco and San .Joaouin
Valley Railway began building operations
yesterday morning in China Basin. In.
stantly there was a stir among Southern
Pacific officials, and as soon as word was
received at the head offices an engineer
was dispatched to the scene with instruc-
tons to be careful in his surveys, lest the
competing railway might have encroached
on Southern Pacific territory, which lies
scattered all over the swamp land near
Channel street. He found the Valley.
road workmen driving piles at Fourth and
Kentucky streets in the water of China
Basin.
Chief Engineer Storey of the Valley
road stated that when the lease of China
Basin was signed clause STIMULATING tn at
work should be started on the basin within
six months was inserted.
''The six months will have expired to-
morrow" he continued land so we began
work there ahead OF time. We are driy-
ing piles to support railroad track out
over the water OF the basin.''
"How far out?"
Gas far as is needed for dumping rock
and earth into the basin for filling We
have applied for a franchise along illinois
street, which comes under conditions SIM
liar to those of the Fresno franchise now
before the Supreme Court for decision.
When that case is decided | suppose there
will be no difficulty in the way OF a fran
chise on Illinois street. Until then, how
ever, we can't do much in the way of fill
ing China Basin, but once we have the
franchise we can begin to lay tracks and
haul rock from quarries 60 build depot

The directors of the Valley road met yes
terday and awarded some large contracts.

contract for 10000 redwood ties, and to

both to be delivered as required before No

short strip OF line north of Fresno and the
road to Bakersfield. A contract for fenc-
ing the railway from Stockton to the Stan
islaus River with five-foot fence OF lum-
Der and barbed wire was given II. l.. App
and John A Hayward of Stockton.

The ship Macdonald arrived few DAYS
since from New York with 800 tons of
rails for the road and another ship is in
port discharging cargo of rails on Valley
road barges.
The great bridge across the Stainslaus
River has delayed progress in laying track,
but Mr.. Storey stated yesterday that the
piers were finished and ready for the
hosting and placing of the bridge, which
was ready in Stockton. In another
month, he said, the bridge will have been
completed and then tracklaying will be
pushed south with energy over the graded
roadbed, which is now well on toward the
