CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM.
Rev. w. D. P Bliss Lecture in
st. Marks Church,
Berkeley.
Religion, He Sid, Should Enter Into
A the Affairs of Our
Lives.

BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 7.-Rev. w. D.
P. B ISIS, the Christian Socialist from Bos-
ton, delivered a lecture at st. Mark
Episcopal Church this evening, in which
ne set forth his views as to the relation of
Christianity and socialism one to the
other. at the outset he reviewed the his
tory of the Christian social unions in
England and in the United States, and
then pointed out the distinction between
the organization which he represented
and the other social institutions as they
are popularity known. He dweit on
Chrisfs klngship over social, political
and industrial as well as religious institu-
tions.
Religion" said the speaker, should
enter all our practical affairs of life. In it
we find the solution of all our practical
problems. The doctrine of Christ's king
ship over life is not applicable merely to
religious thoughts and feelings but to
politics, to social life and to Industrial
pursuits" DR.. Bliss reviewed the rela-
tions of labor and capital, vigorously OBJ
iecting to the unfaiTness of a contest be-
tween the latter, com bined and org anized
and the former unable to com bine for pro-
lection.
He declared the questions involved to
be moral and not political or economic.
IndiVIdu al righteousness in the CONNER
cial world was said TO be Impractical, and
hence the necessity of social and political
recognition of the great Christian teach
ing of human brotherhood.
1--WE OF the purchases forget the social, I"
said the speaker, land devote thought too
much to the idea of the indigid ual getting
to heaven. 1t is this spirit, this lack of
moral appreciation of the real heart of
Christian doctrine, that keeps working
men from the churches, for they do not
see in the lives Of members exemplifica-
ton OF the doctrines they hold in iaith. !"
After DR.. Bliss remarks the Rev. George
E. Swan made brief address, in which he
declared himself much interested In Chris
tian socialism. A general discussion fol-

Chief of Police, which is Immediately be-
meath the iron box where is contained to-
night $120,0 600 of the city's gold.
1t all happened this way: The Bank
Com missioners were in Alameda yester
day, and they discovered a vast amount
of the city's money in the bank vaults,
which is direct violation of the law COW
ering the matter. They Immediately or
dered the bank to return it to the City
Treasurer, and since it was placed in his
vault he has not slept three consecutive
hours Every night he has dreamed of
burglars breaking into his Office and walk
ing off with that gold.
The strain on his mind became so great
that he confded his fear to his assistant,
George Sturtevant. Now Sturtevant is of
practical turn OF mind. He looked
around the Office and took in its situa-
ton, both with his eye and his mind; he
found that it was Immediately over the
office of the Chief of Police. and he at
once conceived the idea that was put in
practice to-day. A trap with very tender
spring was cut through the floor and

urer ledVeS MS OIuC6 the Trap Will De set. IL

is large enough to prevent any one getting
pear the safe without stepping on it. Any
thing even be it no heavier than mans
hat will open the trap and the intruder
would Immediately drop to the presence
of the officers on duty at night.
The spring is operated with an electric
button which connects with the alarm
system and also the lighting apparatus,
so that any burglar who visits Mr.. Whee-
ler's Office would light the room, ring an
alarm and at the same moment surrender
himself to Officer Conrad.
LOOK at the floor" said Mr.. Wheeler
to-day; ''you can't see anything there,
can your pointing to the front of the
vault. But there is something there,
and now | feel free from visits OF burglars.
Sh ould any one attempt to touch our safes
he would instantly regret it. At night
when l go home L leave this spring so set
that any one who touches that section of
the floor drops instantly. This is the only
office in the country, so far as I know,
that is lucky enough to be directly over a
police office. In the daytime, should any
one attempt to monkey with it while MIR.

AN INDIGNANT PASTOR.
Rev. A. Bailey of Haywards Had N,
Trouble With Hi Choir.

Rev. A. Bailey OF dayWaruS HAD NO
Trouble With Hi Choir.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. IA story was
published tonight in which several peo-
pie residing at Haywards are named,
which is strenuously denied by the pastor
of the Congregational Church.
ssThe absurd story that the choir was
disbanded because of jealousy and firt-
ing is a cruel falsehood," said Rev Mr..
Bailey tonight "About six weeks ago
we had difference of opinion regarding
congregational singing as compared with
choir singing. and it was thought better to
discontinue the choir, which consisted of
three people.
There is no foundation for saying that
Mr.. Deans conduct with one lady was the
cause of it. | do not believe that Mr..
Dean has done anything of which he need
be ashamed, and it is an outrage TO use
ladies' names indiscriminately and with
out foundation"
Last Monday night ]. z. Dean and his
wife had dispute and Mrs. Dean made a
visit to her brother at Alameda. She re-
Joined her husband next day and they
have lived in harmony since. The cause
of the dispute has not been made public,
and several respectable residents of Hay
wards stated tonight that there was no
connection whatever between the Dean
quarrel and the church choir of which
they both were members.
The discontinuance of the choir was a
circumstance that excited little comment
as it only consisted of three persons, Mr..

At WORK ON HIS RECORD
DR.. Sharpe Attended a Young Girl
Who Tried to Commit
Suicide.
On That Occasion Only Great Pressure
Prevented Warrant Being Sworn
To by an Offic al.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway, Jan. z.
The Investigations of the police make
the outlook for DR.. C. J. Sharpe, who is
confined in the tanks, very dark. The
doctors plea that this is his first difficulty
is not borne out by the facts. He was a
graduate of the same class as the notori-
Gus DR.. West, who figured in the Addie
Gilmour case.
Mrs. Lydia A. Prescott, secretary OF the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, came very near swearing TO a
complaint against the doctor little time
ago on a charge similar to the one that
now hangs over him.
A young girl named Jennie Carson, Is
years OF age, tried to commit suicide some
tim e ago, and in the investigation which
fol lowed DR.. Sharpe's name was brought
into the case.
Jennie Carson's mother reported the
case to me-. said Mrs. Prescott to-day
"say ing that her daughter had attempted
to commit suicide by taking carbolic acid
on account OF the refusal Of young man
to marry her. He was a motorman on
the Alameda electrician line, who had
ruined the girl under the pretext of max
ing her his wife. After knowing the girl
for some time she insisted that Dolan
keep his promise. But he refused to do
so ard instead called in the services OF
DR.. Sharpe. The girl made this state
ment under oath. Dolan, the motorman,
took her to DR.. Sharpe's office, and later
she became so i'll that she was taken 10
Reudy's Hotel, and DR.. Sharpe attended
her. When her life was despaired of her
mother was notified and the girl confessed
all. Fortunately for her, her fate was
better than that of Anna johnson, but
afterward Dolan still refused to keep his
promise. The matter was laid before
District Attorney Shook, but there was no
prosecution"
Mrs. Prescott says she went to DR..
Sharpe, and he stated that if the case
against Dolan were not pressed he would
do erything in his power for the girl.
Nothing was done for her, however, and
DIR. Sharpe was not heard from till he fg-
ured in she case of Anna Johnson.

Imagines That the Local Courts
Will Not Accord Him
Justice.
occe Comparatively Rich He Now
Says He Is Forced 10 Live in
Barn.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
9O8 RroadWaV Jan. Z (


Old Solomon Baumgarten declares that
he has been robbed of his wife and his
home and that his life is now in danger
from his many enemies. Mr.. Baumgarten
has been a litigant on one side or the
other in scores of petty criminal and civil
cases, and he now declares that his ruin
is accom- plished and that he has not a
place to lay his head.
For twenty years." said Baumgarten
to-day, II have lived in a house near
Third and Broadway that l bought with
hard-earned money. Some time ago my
wife decided to leave me and in some
manner she obtained my signature to a
deed'of the property. 1 certainly did not
know that I was giving away my home,
and l now find that l have been COM
pletely undone and that 1 have nowhere
to live, while another man draws rents
from my property. l have been perse-
cuted for several years, and as a result
have been unable to look after my family.
My first wife got a divorce from me on a
Jewish holiday when 1 was not present,
and now am unable to support my ten
children.
after the divorce she married her friend,
Mr.. Pantosky, and now he has the deed
to my property and receives the rents
from it while l live in a barn. About two
years ago l married young woman and
we have one child, but we are not living
together for my enemies separated MS
They influenced her with tales about me
that were not true, and finally l was ar
rested for cruelty to her and fined and
imprisoned and now | have nothing. Ny
first vile has gone nv DrODertV has gone
my second wife has gone, and, not being
able TO properly look after my family, one
of the boys lives in a barn, another is in
jail, and l. who am now 90 years OF age,
am left TO die IN rags and misery. l in
tend to place my case directly before the
Governor aud ask him to aid me. l was
arrested once by the police without a
warrant which was Illegal, and last Satur-
day night some of my enemies, who wish
to drive me away, came and threw big
rocks through the broken windows of the
hoyel IN which | am forced to live. II
there is any more trouble that can iall to
my share l would like to know what it is.
For several years there has been a feud
between the Baumgartens and the Pan
toskys, and in almost every conflict the
Pantoskys seemed to have come out the
yictors. Certainly Old Baumgarten is in
a very pItiabIe plight, but the evidence at
the time he was arrested for cruelty 10 mis-
wife was not oil such nature as to draw
forth public sympathy. The reason that
he is drawing up q petition TO Governor
Budd Is, so he says, taat when he has had
legitimate ground of action in the local
court, prejudice has prevented him OBJ
tanning a fair show. In one case he found
when he got TO court that he had en-
ployed the same attorney that was ap.
pearing for Pantosky, and MS old enemy
won, as usual.

GILLIAN LOSES MONEY.
Sold Assigned Claims One Day Be-
fore the Decision Made Them
Valuable.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. AT least one
Alameda man is sorry that the fee bill was
held to be valid by the Supreme Court.
John Gillian had bought up $500 worth CT
claims of Constables Van Kapff and Day
or $500. He became weary of waiting for
a decision and on Monday sold the whole
batch for $500 and lost the use of the
money for months. The decision in his
favor came Tuesday, and now Gillian is
mad.
Last week the constables held meeting
In Haywards and decided to let the lltiga-
ton go and appeal to the Legislature. 1t
was then Mr.. Gillian got frightened and
let go. His bills were presented to the
Board of Supervisors and cut to aggregate
$500. They were then passed, and now
Mr.. Gillian believes luck is against him.
