CHURCH EDICTS
THAT ARE FINAL
Rights and Powers Of EccleSi-
astical Tribunals Judicially
Defined.
Important Ruling in the Los Angeles
Presbyterian Church
Case.

The State Supreme Court, in an
opinion delivered yesterday, held that
the decisions of an ecclesiastical tri-
bunal of a church are supreme. This
was in the case of a church difficulty in
the southern part of the State.
The First Presbyterian Church of
Los Angeles was composed of about
500 members and was incorporated. 1t
owned property to the value of about
$50, 900, which was sold, the purpose
being TO purchase another site and
erect another place for worship. The
trustees selected a site, which, while
favored by the majority, was not de-
sired by the minority. The matter was
referred to the presbytery, which, after
hearing both sides, by resolution de-
clared that the First Presbyterian
church be divided into two organiza
tons, the one containing the minority
to be called the Central Presbyterian
church and the one with the majority
as the Westminster Presbyterian
church. The records of the First
Presbyterian church were awarded to
the Westminster Presbyterian church.
The presbytery further ordered a COM
mission of five to appoTtion the funds
of the disOrganized First church, and
the five found that 1863 members of the
old body went to the Central and Az
to the Westminster body, and the
funds were appOrtioned upon this
basis. The Central church recognized
the action of the presbytery, but the
trustees of the old First and their fol-
lowers repudiated the action of that
body and refused to pay any of the
funds in question over to the Central
church, whereupon legal action was
begun by n. L. Wheelock and E. +.
Henderson on behalf of themselves and
the other members of the Central
church. One of the points in the de-
Tense was that the First Presbyterian
church was incorporated under the
laws of the State and the Central was
not; also that the presbytery had no
power 10 disrupt the church and divide
its money, only courts having the latter
power; and last, that the complaint
was improper, inasmuch as the COM
plainants and defendants should all be
named These objections were in the
demurrer which was sustained by the
lower court, which order was over
ruled by the higher tribunal.

AN ACCOMPLICE OF
TACHOI ARRESTED
A Japanese Who Assisted the
Murderer to Escape Is in
the Tanks.
The Fiend Who Shot Mary Castillo
Still EIudes the Vigilance of
the Police.

Detectives Gibson and Wren arrested
Wednesday a Japanese named Ngai
Tishu and charged him with compile
ity in the murder of Mary Castillo,
who was shot and killed last Sunday
night in a lodging-hQu at 901 Sacra-
mentO street. Shortly after the shoot
ing Tishu, it is claimed, was seen run
ming from the house, followed by the
murderer. The prisoner was coatless
and hatleSs. He carried his coat on his
arm, and as he rushed from the house
he shouted to the murderer to follow
him. They ran up Sacramento street
and disappeared along Prospect place.
The two men were seen leaving the
house by boy, whose name the police
refuse to diVulge. He claims that as
they dashed along the street, and as
they entered Prospect place, the muir
derer passed a revolver to his compan-
ion. They then disappeared in a cheap
lodging house.
After listening to the boys story the
detectives decided to arrest Tishu.
After considerable trouble they located
him in a clearinghouse on Dupont
street last night and at once placed
him under arrest. They took him to
the City Prison and locked him up in
the tanks.
The detectives are convinced that the
prisoner not only knows the where
abouts of the murderer but assisted
him in getting away. 1t is also said
that he advised the assassin to shoot
his unfortunate victim.
Tishu roomed in the same house with
the murderer. They were frequently
seen together and seemed to be on very
friendly terms. The day before the
shooting Tishu, it is claimed informed
the murderer that Mrs. Castillo was
fai Z I,fr 70 hi Nd 1xricn hi To
kill her He will be held pending an
investigation.
The body of Mary Castillo was taken
from the Morgue Tuesday by her
brother-in-law, George w. Brosamle,
and her sister to jacksonville, where
it was inferred yesterday.
Thursday morning Mr. and Mrs. Bros
annie called upon Chief Lees in re-
Spouse to a dispatch sent by the Chief
to the dead girls mother in Watson
vile. Detective Anthony was detailed
to take them to the Morgue, and Mrs.
Brosamle's grief when she saw the
dead body of her sister was painful to
witness. She obtained possession of
her dead sisters ring and clothing and
later she and her husband left with
the body for jacksonville.
Every effort of the police to find the
murderer has so far failed. Tuesday
night Detectives Ed Gibson and Wren
were notified that a Japanese answer
ing his description had been arrested
at Niles by Constable Bernard They
took the late train for Niles, but were
disappointed in not finding the muir
derer. The Japanese under arrest
proved to be a deserter from the
Japanese man-ofwar, which was here
about two years ago.
A complaint was sworn to yesterday
by Detective Gibson before Judge Low
charging Tauchi with the murder, so
that the warrant for his arrest could
be in readiness.

FISH LAW VIOLATED.
Deputy CoDmissioDers Seize
Three Nets on tbe Rus
sian River.

Deputy Fish Commissioners Davis
and Lowe, hearing that the bar at the
mouth of Russian River was opened
on Monday last and that schools of
steelheads were passing in from the
ocean, concluded their services would
be needed in that section of the
country and on Tuesday morning they
left for Duncans Mills.
Yesterday intelligence was received
at the office of the Fish Commission in
this city that the deputies had made
quite a successful raid on the trans
gressors of the law and had captured
three new nets, which were of consid
cradle value. The dispatch did not
say the residents made any serious
objection to the. good work that is
being accomplished by the officers.
Doubtless when the people who reside
in the vicinity of DuncanS Mills will
thoroughly understand that the fish
law must be observed and that it is
for the better interests of the commu-
nifty that the breeding fishes be given
a chance to propagate their species,
instead of crying down the good work
now being accomplished by the Depu-
ty Commissioners they will uphold and
support them in every way to defeat
the aims of those who will persist in
breaking the law and defying the
Commissioners. According TO late re-
ports steelheads are plentiful in the
river.

ARE AFTER THEIR MONEY,
Stockholders OF the Alaska I'M
provemept Company Wont to
Dissolve the CORPORATION.

A suit entitled w. J. Gray, Thomas
Pollard, Bartlett Doe, B. H. Hanson,
B. H. Madison, NJ. ]. Madison, Martin
Madison, z. NJ. Stockeby n. S. Thomp-
son, James Madison and the Tallant
Banking Company against H. ]. Hart
ing, J. NJ. Eva, Samuel ]. Eva and the
Alaska Improvement Company, which
presents another complication in the
Alaska salmon fisheries litigation, was
filed in the Superior Court Wednesday.
The plaintiffs in the action petition the
court for an injunction against the
Alaska Improvement Company, the de-
PENDANTS constituting majority of the
board of directors of that organization,
to prevent it from transacting certain
business they allege would injure their
interests.
In their pleadings the plaintiffs refer
to the fact that the Alaska Improve
ment Company has acquired the prop
erty of the Alaska Packers Association
and that owing to the iact considerable
contention has arisen. At special meet
ing of stockholders, held on the 10th
ult., it was resolved by a vote of "a
$40 shares of stock to dissolve the cor
poration. Legal steps TO disorganize
the company were taken but the disso-
luton was not contaminated.
On the End inst, the defendants in
the present action, who own 1880
shares Of the capital stock of $4,000
shares of the Alaska Improvement
Company were elected members of the
board of directors, and at a meeting
held Immediately after their election
they constituting a majority of the
board, passed resolution ordering the
dissolution proceedings to be discon-
tinued.
This action the plaintiffs allege was
dishonest and was taken with the in
tention of hindering the interests of
the corporation and of preventing the
collection of it's claims against H. J.
Barting and James Evas estate,
amounting to about $1,000 600 In conse-
quence, in the action filed yesterday,
the court is prayed to issue a perman-
ent injunction restraining the defend
ants from interfering with the dissolu-
tion of the Alaska Improvement Com
pany as the minority of the stockhold-
ers wish to gain possession of their
money invested in the corporation.

Some Belated Christmas Festivals
Held Last Night-The French
Christian Union Tree.

The success of the first production of
1.-THE Nativity" by the Sunday school
of st. PauPs Catholic Church, led to a
repetition of the performance last
night. 1t was beyond a doubt the most
lavish of the many Christmas festivals
given this year, and st. PauPs Hall
was not half large enough to accommo>
date the crowds that sought admission.
The story of the birth of the Savior
was told in tableaux interspersed with
music and recitations. The following
programme of tableaux, music andreci-
tation was faithfully carried out:
Prayer of Patriarchs and Daughters of
Israel; THE Annunciation" vocal trio,

The annual Christmas tree given by
the French Christian Union to the
children of the French Sunday school
and kindergarten drew a large gather
ing in the hall at 927 Pacific street last
evening. Prayer, song and recitations
by the children marked the event
Madame Marshall, president of the
Union, as well as Mrs. Wheeland, vice
president, and Miss Sarah Menzies,
secretary, helped in making the affair
a success. Following a short pro-
gramme the many presents were dis
tributed among the children.
The children of ST. Dominic's Sunday
school had a lovely tree and there was
nice doll for each little girl and a
suitable present for every boy. The
programme rendered at the musical
and literary entertainment for the aid
of the tree fund Wednesday evening
was we'll carried out by all the partici-
pants.
1t was a great evening for the little
ones at the Howard Street NJ. E.
Church. Their Christmas tree was one
of the prettiest seen during the holi-
days. There were songs and pieces
and then came the distribution of
candy and presents to the little ones.

THE REGULAR
ARMY NOTES
Some Talk OF a Half Mile BRIDGE
on the Preside Reser-
walton.
The Old GuardhOuse n ear Fort Point
New Trumpet Call for
Artillery.

During the holiday week which COM
menced yesterday there will not be
anything to engage the attention of
the officers and men at the military
posts in the vicinity except that
which is absolutely necessary, but af-
ter the week of rest all will be hustle
and activity again.
In trayersing the space from the
quarters at the Preside to the forti-
f1cations near old Fort Winfield Scott.
the men who belong to the foot bat
terieS, and for that matter all who
have business there, must cross
deep hollow, descending long flight
of stairs on one side and ascending
another on the other side. To make
the line a more direct one, it is pro-
posed to bridge the hollow, that is if
an appropriation can be secured for
that purpose. If this is done then
there will bean added attraction on the
reservation in the shape of bridge
nearly half a mile in length.
One of the curiosities on the reser-
walton at this time is the old guard
house on the fiat opposite the quar-
tiers that were occupied at the time
that Fort Winfield Scott was garri-
soned. 1t is a two-story frame strue-
ture in which men in the early days
were imprisoned for infractions of mil
itary rules. 1t is a remarkable struc-
ture in this that il is a type of the ar
chitecture of the middle fifties in San
Francisco. Now it is no longer used
for military purposes, but it is occu-
pied by chickens for a roosting place.
Notice has been received here that
the drah- colored tent for the army has
been formally adopted and that the
change in color will be extended to the
leggings worn by enlisted men, to all
canvas clothing and equipage and
will correspond to the blanket bag is
sued by the ordnance department.
The new style Of shoes which has
been tested for several months with
a view to adopt the same. to SUPER
sede the present brogans issued to the
enlisted men, is said to be a decided
Improvement on the ones now use,
They are praised for appearance, com
fort and durability. Quartermaster-
General Weeks has recommended the
adoption of the new type of shoes.
A new call has been added to the
trumpet calls for the artillery 1t is
to be used whenever it is desired to
march in route step or route order. 1t

1 Queer Work of a Man
Married Last Tues
day.
Harry Hall Says His Wlle
Has Refused to Go
to Him.
Will Go to Another State and Take
Steps to Prepare to Marry
Again.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
sos Broadway, Dec. %.


Harry Hall. who was married in
Judge Aliens chambers last Tuesday,
is already taking steps to obtain a di-
vorce. He called on Clerk Hennessy
of the Police Court to-day to find out
how the charge of felony against him
stood, and finding that it was dis
missed he appeared happy and said
that he would so to another state ana
undo the work of the Judge.
Hall says he has called on his young
wife twice since the marriage and has
asked her to go and live with him, and
sic has refused, consequently he says
IRIS cannot be charged with desertion.
As his wife is at this time seriously Ill
an Hall has not a penny or home
to take her to, his argument is not
very weighty. At the marriage he
could not raise the 81 necessary for
the license and allowed another love Of
his to produce the money, and he says
he has not earned anything since then.
He told the clerk that all relation
ship between him and Miss Trelease,
who gave him the license money, is at
an end, and il is possible he might
marry her after he was divorced. He
seemed much disappointed when he
learned that a divorce for desertion
cannot be granted within a year and
that he cannot marry again in this
State until the lapse again of another
year. He boasts of his work and
speaks of the affections of young girls
as though they were mere toys.
