A GOOD SERVANT.
An Oakland Councilman Exposes a
Scheme of Bribery.

Oakland, Cal, May 22.-There is keen
rivalry between the two water compa-
nies of Oakland for the privilege Of
supplying tho ciSy's hydrants, and il Is
rumored that at the next meeting of
the city fathers an attempt to bribe
one of them will be exposed. The story
is that on a recent date an interested
person approached Councilman Aaron
F1bush and offered to pay him for his
vote and influence. To make acceptance
easier for the councilman. it was sug-
gested that the two adjourn to some
place where there was dark room,
that they should confer together. and
that if Fibush, moment after enter
ing, would brush his hand across the
table, he would find a package in which
there might be something the council
man would find useful" 1t is further
stated that Ffbush has made affidavit
to the above effect, and placed 1t in
the hands OF William Dingee. In an
interview Dingee admitted that he had
such an affidavit in his possession.

Your committee held It's first meetings

An extended conference WAS held with

hams, and adopted the following
In view OF the action taken by the
assembly OF 1894 prior TO the letting OF
the contract for the building, as shown
by its minutes hereinbefore given. we
conceive our only duty to be to confer
with the two boards, and to advise as
to the course to be pursued in connec-
tion with the new Presbyterian house
The committee finds that there Is no
pending offer from anyone TO buy the
property: nor has there been since the
first meeting Of this committee,
Whether the property on 2Oth street
md Fifth avenue as well as that on
l2th street should be sold or not, are
matters which under existing conditions
may be properly and safely left to the
determination of the two boards, The
application of the money derived from
the Stuart estate toward the erection OF
the new building was not an Illegal use
of such money.
The committee advises urgent appeals
to all the churches of our denomination
to make not only the the ordinary hut
Increased contributions for home and
foreign missionary operations; In the
full confidence that under no clrcum-
stances will money given for current
work be applied TO the account OF the
new building. hut that the debt there
on must be provided for by other con
tributlons for that purpose. In view oI
these facts your committee oners foi

London. May 22.--The Greece-Turkish

out which payment of indemnity to
Turkey and interest on the Greek debt
is declared to be impossible. The Greeks
insist that. II an indemnity be imposed

collapse and serious internal trouble
will occur. They estimate the damage
done to Thessaly at $4,000. 900 drachmaS,
and another 10000, 900 drachmas would
be needed TO supply the peasants with
food and tools. Moreover, they add, the
revenue would be greatly reduced, ow-
ing to the immense damage to cultiva-
ton throughout the country, due to the
absence of thousands of workers.
This years budget will probably
leave a deficit of 6O,OOO,OOO draohmas.

and in response Sergeant Donovan and
posse went to the yards. They re-
fused to Interfere with Dockery. As
Hardy and Gerald continued to pro-
test. the inspectors arrested them for
interfering with an officer in the dis
charge OF his duty. They were re-
leased on their own recognizance. Dur
ing Dockery's absence from the freight
yard the consignment of brandy was
switched from the original location,
and when he returned he could not find

The board had endeayorcd 10 carry
on the work within its reduced limits
with the least possible outlay and in
the interest OF economy. The services
OF tine treasurer as a salaried officer
and also the field SECRETARY, had been
dispensed with. These changes effect
cd reduction of expenses OF 1906, An
Increase in the real estate item TO-
gether with the fact that the receipts
fell TO a lower figure than they had
fallen in the last dght years, had
operated TO increase the debt, the
amount last year being S5l.275' against
S26.l2S the previous one. The real
estate item amounted To A9,6lS, larger
than 1t would probably be again for
many years, the bulk Of the amount go
ing toward the rebuilding of the Mary

completed rs follows;

The Board desired that at least S2o'-
600 Of the debt should be paid this year
An increase Of $1,000 in income over
last year would make this possible, n
reduction Of expense would accomplish
the same thing but reduction of the
work to that extent meant almost
its destruction TO that extent The
bodies contributing to the cause were;
