The seventy-eighth anniversary of the

Francisco No. 5. Patriarchs Militant. The
hall, decorated in pale blue and white in
the midst of which stood out prominently
the 'all-seeing eye" under the "three
links" was well filled and the galleries
were crowded. The canton represented
by fifty mem bers in brilliant uniforms
and gay-plumed chapeaus entered the
hall under command of Captain A. J.
Duncan and presented very fine appear
ance, and after salute broke ranks and dis
tributed themselves over the hall; their
handsome uniforms showing here and
there in the midst of the handsome gowns
worn by many of the ladies added to the
brilliancy of the scene.
There were present: General J. +.
Crosett and staff, General E. H. Black.
Colonel III. o. Brewer, Lieutenant Colonel
w. S. Potter, Captain A. ]. Duncan,
Grand Treasurer George W. Lemont,
Chief Patriarch Joe Adams. Captain John

Assistant Grand Secretary Clifford, Fred
Fillmore, w. J. Phillips, George K. Will

resented. The most notable of these were
Mrs. Mary z. Donoho. grand secretary,
and Mrs. Helene ]. Peterson, elected
deputy grand master of District No. 8,
composed of California, Templar, Oriental,
Amity and Loyal lodges. She was &C.
companied by her staff of officers.
General j. W. Harris. master of ceremo-
nies, introduced Past Grand Master George
81. Morrison, who delivered short ad-
dress of welcome and made few remarks
appropriate to the day. Then followed
the several numbers on the programme as
announced in yesterdays CALL, each be-
ing warmly applauded and an encore de-
manded.
The ball followed the programme, and
the grand march was led by General Gro
sett and his daughter Lucille.

the ladies of the Rebekah lodges, and the
proceeds will be divided between the Or.
phans' Home and the other pro rata to

Mr.. Kahn wanted to know what he ex.
pected to prove.
In this position Deputy District Attor.
ney Hinkle joined, curtly referring Mr..
Shortridge to the language of the COM
plant when asked for a state ent of what
the State expected the defendant to JUS
tify.
Mr.. Shortridge said he rather expected a
parrot-like answer of this kind, so would
not waste lime in further inquiries, though
the defendant was entitled to a manly,
straightforward reply.
In commenting on the failure of the
Mcdonald banks Mr.. Shortridge said he
would show that Judge Hebbard, as pre-
siding Judge of the Superior Court, as
signed all that litigation to himself. in
order that he might heap the patronage
growing out of the appointment of the
receiver on John +. Sheehan, his personal
and political friend, and that when his
acts were overruled by the Supreme Court
he appointed the same man, John F.
Sheehan, to the same place, not only
Twice but three times. Sheehan received.
IN round mum bers SIC, 900 from those ap-
pointments, and finally he was relieved
OF all responsibility and his bondsmen
we're exonerated without an accounting.
Ihe names on those bonds might throw q
hight On the suggestion that Judge Heb
bard was the creature of some person in
this community. One of the bondsmen
was noted statesman, sometimes known
as Colonel Dan Burns.
1t was In this sense that the defendant
would justify the use of the words
creature" and "tool," it being his inten-
ton to produce evidence to prove that
Judge Hebbard was either Willingly or
unwittingly used by designing men for the
accomplis ment of their sinister pur-
poses. Mr.. Shortridge maintained whether
he knew it or not the fact remains that
Judge Hebbard "stood i'm with John f.
Sheehan and his attorneys and associates,
and in that regard had shown himself a
partisan and therefore an unfit person to
occupy the bench as a Judge of the SUI
perior Court. Mr.. Marriott had thought so,
and as citizen be had right to say so.
This being true the jury would be as ked
to give an Immediate acquittal.
Mr.. Shortridge occupied the afternoon
session reading documentary evidence.
The taking of testimony will occupy the
remainder of the week.

EVENING SESSION.

Child Study In Several Different
Phases Are Elaborated
Upon.
The evening session began with the
reading of a paper by Mrs Louise Matt
land of Stanford, entitled ''The Develop
ment of Children, as Seen in Their Draw
ings."
The lecturer exhibited large number
OF colored drawings. illustrating the SUBJ
ject of her paper. From experiments
made by young children in Nebraska
schools it was ascertained that boys are
far be lind girls In recognizing colors. and
that the order of preference in colors by
young children is as follows: Black,
white, red, yellow, blue and orange. Pro-
fessor Earl Barnes made experiments W ith
1900 Oakland school-ch ildren, which
showed q decided preference for the
brighter coIors-red, yellow and blue.
&. W. Lucky, professor of pedagogy in
the University of Nebraska, ascertained
that the ability to see certain colors is
very defective in young children. Pro-
fessor Joseph Jastro made experiments on
1900 people at the Worlds Fair between
the ages of and 70 years. Among these
blue was the least selected by those be-.
tween ana Is years old. Light red is
preferred by those below Is years old.
Children from 6 10 II years old delight
in laying on bright coiors in large masses
without much regard to detail. Realism
begins to assert itself after the age Of IL
years.
A very small mum Der OF young children
use color realistically, and this number in.
creases with age.
Miss Grace Barnard read an interesting
paper on Qualifications of the Kindergar-
ten System in the Light OF Child Study"
One OF the ablest papers of the day was
that of Miss Mary DonnelIy, q teacher in
The paper was entitled, Unconscious
Tuition" She began by saying that il
lay largely in the power of home to make
or unmake the school. Courtesy, patience
ana cheerfulness are the unconscious
teaching of home. The speaker said that
the time was not far off when the home
and the school would be so much alike
that there will be but little transition from
one to the otner Miss Donnelly added /:
Tho teachers strongest power lies in
her unconscious teaching; her personality,
which Is power for good or for evil that
reaches out into infnity. 1t is marvel
that our young folks are as good as they
are when we consider the influence of the
iconoclastic press SO often teeming with
SANDER, vituperation, sensationalism and
malicious caricatures."
Professor Earl Barnes of Stanford fol-
lowed with paper on "Children's Ideas
OF Punishment"
President Swift advised the women in
the audience not to wear large mats or
waving plumes while attending the con-
gress-or take them off like a man.
The congress will resume work at 10
O'Clock this morning.

Food for the Mind.

think that the Woman's Congress
has done wonderful work in the line of
debating to women, especially to mothers,
the necessity for their taking a lively
interes: in not only the things within
the four walls of home, but the outside
influences which have a direct bearing
upon the safety or the destruction of the
home.
At one time women thought that they
had nothing to do but to get up in the
morning to see that their chiIdren's faces
were washed and that they had enough
to eat, without even looking to see what
kind of food was furnished to their
homes. This congress has taught us
that we must know what kind of food
for the mind as well as for the body is
being furnished to our children.

Women as Te achers.

"OUfOtt GO q oSitStS
Women are rapidly coming to dominate
the work of public school teaching. Ninety
per cent of our army of 4oo, 1000 teachers
in the United States are women. Judge
Draper, president of the illinois State
University, says, as result of long ex-
perience, that the greatest weakness in
our American women teachers is their
inability to play part in public affairs,
to give and take in public discussion in
which lies the very basis of American
life.
Such meetings as this present congress
must do much to correct this weakness,
and if nothing more is accomplished than
to bring to the women engaged in teach
ing, facility in giving and taking in public
affairs tbe present congress will be fully
justified.

WHAT THEY SAY.
Influence of the Woman's
Congress on the Com
munity for Good.

One of the most promising features of
the congress seems to be the absolutely
impartial spirit with which they seek for
and admit evidence from all sides, and
weigh and consider it before they formu-
late any general theory. This is very
pleasing feature, because women are very
often accused of being prejudiced and one
sided. The spirit of dogmatism is ab-
sent.
They are asking us to bring our evil
dence before them, as far as we have
worked it out, and let every hearer Judge
