MINISTERS TALK FINANCE
With One Exception Presbyte.
rian Pastors Stand for
Gold.
Baptist Preachers Discuss a New
Brotherhood-Dr. POND on
Resurrection.

The Presbyterian Ministerial Union held
Quiz day yesterday, the SUBJECT dis
cussed being 1.-The Silver Question:
Rev. DR.. Frasier, who set the subject
going, spoke strongly in favor of gold. He
condemned the Teller resolution, saying
that it was not right to call the ratio be-
tween silver and gold as / to 16, when it
was really as to 25 or 30. Rev. DR.. Alex
ander said: There are thousands of dol
lars lying idle in the banks of this coun-
try already. We already have sufficient
money; what we want is more work for
the people; set the mills going and that
will give the people bread"
Rev. James Woodworth said he was not
a silver man, but he would like to see free
coinage tried for while, to find OUT how
it would work. Rev. DR.. Bevier, who up
held gold, said that it was the duty of min
listers to study financial questions. He
held that gold had an intrinsic value
which especially fitted it to become the
unit. New fields of gold are being dis
| covered, which make 1t pretty certain that
| we shall not suffer for want of gold cur
rency. On moral grounds l contend that
no money can long maintain its position
when it has stamp value not equal to its
| face value"
Rev. DIR. Scott was the only one of the
| pastors present who made strong stand
| for silver. "Those who advocate the gold
standard are the oppressors, he said.
Make single standard and you have a
means by which the standard can be mon
| opolized. 1t is because of the power of
monopoizing that the Rothschilds have
become the princes of finance. 1t is ow-
| ing to the gold standard that they can sit
| in Europe and command our Senate" DR..
| Scott denied an intrinsic value to gold,
which he said was only useful in itself to
| fill teeth and make ornaments.
| Rev. DIR. Maitland and the other pastors
| present expressed themselves as being in
| favor of gold.
| The following officers were elected for
| the next six months: President, Rev.
John Hunter of Berkeley; vice-president,
Rev. J. B. Warren; secretary, Rev. James

BATTLE OF The CLUBS.
Mckinley League of Berkeley
Will Hold a Meeting
Tonight.
Captain Morrison of the Republican
Club Thinks Striker Wants
10 Be a Boss.

BERKELEY, CAL, July 6.-The Nc
Kinley League of Berkeley will meet to-
morrow night in Odd Fellows Hall.
The Republican Club, which, it i.
claimed, was organized without proper
authority, is likely to receive attention at
the hands of the Mckinley Leagues mem
bers, as the controversy between the two
clubs threatens to become more and more
bitter.
Captain J. T. Morrison, a prominent
member of the Republican Club, is in
dienant at the aspersions cast upon that
organization by County Committeeman
J. w. Striker. Said the captain:
The Berkeley Republican Club would
Ike to know what is the matter with J. w
Striker, anyway. He seems to be wasting
a great deal of valuable breath in hurting
anathemas at the first and only Republi
can club in East Berkeley because they
did not ask his permission to organize and
because he was not asked to boss the job
The respectable element in the Repub
lican party in Berkeley needs no boss, and
the sooner Mr.. Striker gets that notion
out of his head the sooner that portion oi
ms anatomy will cease to swell. Evi-
IDENTIFY he has not learned that this coun-
try existed before his day and generation
and will continue to exist when the Strik.
eTs cease from striking and the weary
pohlclan is at rest.
mo. The Berkeley Republican Club is
organized for business, and does not have
10 ask Mr.. Strikers permission-'not any.

ALAMEDA, CAL, July 6.-Although
such number of people are away on va
cations, the parlors of the wife of Judge
Mrs. c. L. Wood assumed the chair of the
Women's Political Equality Club. Great
enthusiasm prevailed and most pleasant
afternoon was spent.
Mrs. Hastie read short extract from a
treatise entitled "The Philosophy of
Mutualism," by Professor Frank Powers,
and Miss Bowen one from 1.-The Arena"
dealing with the statement that there is
no use in science for any theory unless its
practicability can be shown.
Miss Cohen made a short speech. She
held that women were not as unselfish and
self-denying as they were deemed. They
can do something to better the present
conditions of things, whether women get
the ballot or not. She instanced the uuan-
tity of ready made clothing on sale in all
the various shops at prices so low that
sweating alone would not account for the
low values. 1--WE women talk of suffrage
and meet to organize clubs for relieving
the poor and works of kindred nature
she SAID, land as soon as the meetings are
over make it a point of going to these low
priced houses and purchasing all our
wants from them" She held that If
women would com bine aud determine not
to patronize such establishments, but pay
fair price for what thcy required, they
would be doing good to numbers of people
who were forced to accept starvation
wages. Her remarks were indorsed by
many present.
Mrs. j. Hill said that most of the
ready-made clothing on sale was made in

9O8 Broadway, July 6. !
Mr.. Halbert, the capitalist of 1923 Web
ster street, narrowly escaped being shot
for burglar last night. His home is in
the aristocratic part of town near the lake
shore district and last winter many burg
laries were committed in that district and
sharp lookout has been kept ever since.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Habert went to
the springs with his family. He has lot
of valuable material in his house and so
he told of his trip TO his friend Peter
Thompson. Mr.. Thompson owns a vast
estate and is a neighbor to Halbert. He
promised to take look at the Halbert
house night and morning.
Last night Mr.. Thompson was keeping
his promise. He went to the Halbert
home and saw a light inside. He watched
and waited expectantly for several min
utes. The light reappeared in another
room. Mr.. Thompson knew there should
be no light there and at once concluded
that burglar, or perhaps two, were at
work overhauling Mr. Halbert's valuables.
Peter Thompson was not long in acting.
He at once laid his plans. He got together
his Japanese boy, his eldest son and Mr..
High of the Oakland Bank of Savings, who
lives next door TO Halbert. and told them
of the presence of the robbers. Mr.. High
went round to the back, while the Jap boy
and Mr.. Thompson guarded the front. His
son he sent to the patrol box with orders
to ring up the City Hall and call the patrol
wagon. No one dared to blow a police
whistle or the robbers would at once be on
their metule. Just once it dawned on Mr..
Thnpancn fhaf % in the hon
might be Mr.. Halbert. The two friends
have peculiar whistle with which they
attract each others attention. Peter
Thompson whistled, but it brought no
response, and he was then positive that he
had to deal with desperadoes.
MIR. High, the Jap, and Mr.. Thompson,
all armed, were guarding the approaches
to the house, when the patrol wagon
dashed up with about dozen men in 1t

weeks ago when they attempted to award

preference there was much opposition and
considerable hard talk engaged in by the
bidders.

thousand dollars lower than their bid at

Leandro was awarded the contract for
furnishing groceries at $685. 1914. Joseph
Harris will furnish the clothing for
$847 O713. The samples furnished by the
successful bidders were kept by the super
intendent to compare the goods with when
delivered.
Mr.. Herrscher's opponents assert that
he will lose money before the year is past
if he furnishes goods equal to his sam pies,
which all unite in pronouncing first class.
The Supervisors promise that nothing
snort of the samples shall be accepted by
the superintendent.

church built by their countrymen in
California. For long time the congre-
CATION has been steadily growing and
some time ago it was decided to build q
church. A ready response was made to
the call for funds and when the edifice is
ompleted it will be free from debt.
The church is located on the west side
of Twenty-ftth avenue, a short distance
north of East Fourteenth street. 1t was
organized in July, 1891, with twelve mem
bers and this increased many fold at the
present time. Rev. Knute Nelson was
pastor for the first year and the present
pastor, Rev. n. Tyschesen, was called in
January, 1893.
For year the regular meetings were
held at Woodlands Hall, on Twenty third
| avenue. For another period they were
held at Liberty Hail. on Broadway, and
finally in knights of Pythias Hall, at
Twenty-third avenue.
The new building has been under con-
struction for some time and the founda-
tion-stone was formally laid yesterday.
The ceremonies were very simple and
the pastor delivered a short address in
| Norwegian.
"This is the first church to be built by the
Scandinavian Baptists in this State,'' said
Rev. n. Tyschesen to-day. I'VE are
naturally very proud of our effort, espe-
cially as we see our way clear to pay of
every cent of the cost. For few years
we have been struggling under very hard
conditions, but we feel that the worst is
now past and in few months we shall be
able to worship in our own building. The
mem bers and their friends have been very
generous, and all the money needed is

The rem medies of DR.. Goto for leprosy are

judged are giving satisfaction, though sew
eral months will be required in which to
make a thorough test.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago q private subscription for the purchase
of the medicine was started by Supervisor
G. E. Benjamin, chairman of the Health
and Police Committee, and $500, the most
of which passed through the office of The

in receipt of the following self-explanatory
letter from Frank Bindt of the hospital on

Dear Sir: Your note of yesterdays date is

here last evening. This morning DR.. O'Brien

medicine has already put new life into the
people out here and trust that the next six

them all.

After stating the object of the brother
