Special Dispatch to THE CALL

NEW YORK Nov. 17.-"The secession
movement on the Pacific Coast is dead,
and not even the recognition of an out
side organization can resurrect IT,"
This is what Chairman Mott of the
League of American Wheelmen Racing
Board said in substance upon the occasion
of his recent visit to New York. AS op-
posed to this statement, President Orr OF
the Canadian Wheelmen's Association,
WHO has just arrived home from the
Pacific Coast, where ne made personal
investigation OF the condition of cycling
affairs, has reported to his organization
that the Coast Associated Cycling Clubs
otherwise known as the outlaws-are in
con troll of the iar West, anG he advises
that they be recognized as the controllin 6
body by the Canadian Association.
At the meeting OF the Canadian Wheel
mems Association executive com m ittee,
held in Toronto, it was decided to seek q
conference with the officers OF the League
OF American Wheelmen W tn view oil
arriving at some arrangement by which
the British Coium bia Association and the
Canadian Wheelmens Association may
work in harmony with the Coast As
sociated Cycling Clubs and still retain its
affiliations with tie Canadian A soc alton,
and YET cause no stralning IN the relations
of the League of American Wheelmen and
the Canadian Wheemen Association. The
situation Is complex one, and the action
OF the Canadians goes TO show that the
coast secesslonlsts are stronger than they
are credited with being by league officials.

Death of the Pastor of "The
Little Church Around

How the Rev. DR.. Houghton Gained
the Love of Members Of the
Theatrical Profession.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-ReY. George
H. Hough ;on. pastor OF the Church of the
Transtie uration, better known as 1.-The
Little Church Around the corner" died
tonight.
Dr.. Houg hton was born in Deerfield.
Mass, IN 1929 aud in the year 1916 he was
admitted 10 the ministry of the Protestant
EpisCopal church. In 1848 the am bilious
young c.erg man organized the Church #
the ransfguration. whicn was destin d
to become in after years world famous a
the Little Church Around the Corner"
1t has borne that name fJr more than a
quarter of century. The circumstances s
through which the title was bestowed
were as follows:
George Holland, the actor, for many
years q member Of the old Wallack COM
pany and father OF E NJ. and Joseph Hol-
land, died on December 20 1870 In ar
ranging for the funeral Joseph Jefferson
and others called on Rev. Mr.. Sabin,
pastor Of fash onab, church on Madison
avenue, and asked him if he would con-
ducj The funeral services.
Ascertaining that Holland was an actor.
the Rev. MIR. Sabine declined to conduct
The funeral services when asked by Mr..
Jefferson and his companions # he could
tell them where they cou gel a clergy
man, he remarked that ''tnere was a lit
tie cnurch around the corner where they
do such things" The dead actors friends
went to that III tie church ant were re-
celved with kindly consideration by Rev.
Dr.. HouRhton.
This incident formed a ! We theme for
talk all over the country and it estab-
lished 'the little church around the COZ
ner" firmly in the affections of the public
well as OF the theatrical profession.
Since that Time many prominent actors
an actresses have been buried from at
church, among them Lesier WaIlack,
Dion Bouclcault and Edwin Booth.
Many are also married there and many
have their children chris ened in the little
church. The actors snow their appre cia-
tion in many ways-sOme by attendance
some by renting pews, aud In 1893, when
deficit the church's affairs was learned
of by the dramatic pI ofessIon they turned
in with Will and quickly replenlshed the
depleted treasury.
Although loved by actors and membe
of that profession, Dr.. Houghton al

was The Chatham-street Theater He was
but 10 years oid at the time and ran away
from hume.

Last year the sale: of the exchange
amounted to $1,000, 600 worth OF citrus
fruit and the loss was $500.
1t was finally decided that it was ad-
vlsab.e for the deciduous frui growers to
come in with the citrus growers and use
the same n achinery to market both crops
and divide the expense.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17.-All sections
of California south OF the Tehachapl

was larger than at any previous session
and great interest was manifested. Presi-

The principal question the association

strongly urged com binarion of all of the
fruit-prod ducers of California in order that
they could handle their own crop at a

BALTIMORE, Nov. 17.-Otto Zegler oi
California has written the following letter,
giving his reasons for asking ren.tate-
ment in the League of American Wheel
men:
First-The new league OF this coast, s far as
/ can judge, Is a. bout on It's last legs.
Second-Tbe prizes under the coast league
are so small that when q seasons work Is over
the average man is out OF pocket in the racing
game To cite an instance of this, will state
that | went into the California Associated
Cycling Clubs C rcuit this year al my own ex-
pense and cleaned up on Mr.. Welch's per
centage scheme just 81 10 as a result Of my
efforts in tnree race meetings, in which cap
turcd six firSts and one second, which in the
East would have paid me $3.50 at the very
lowest. Again, tue Eastern cycle manuac-
turers do not command the business on the
coast that they do in the East and therefore q
racing man cannot command salary on this
coast which he can in the East. It was
purely the advice OF an Eastern firm that
was induced to be sgAln reinstated in the
League of American Wheelmen, and they
could not afford to pay me- q salary for riding
only IN California, the only place the Califor-
MIA Associated Cycling Clubs has any jurisdic-
ton.
And another thing. Cycle racing is dead"
so to speak, in California. Cycle tracks of
the finest kind are being torn up, as they do
not pay the owners. Ali this is on account OF
the Eastern riders keeping clear OF this new
league, as it is against the League OF American
Wheelm men rules to ride on sun day, and the
California Associated Cycle Cubs is only a
petty organization in opposition TO the Leag ue
OF American Wheelmen.
LIT me saw in conclusion that cycle racing
needs new faces TO keep up the enthusiasm OF
the public The tact that the Eastern men
will not winter out here has put quietns on
the sport. Ireaized only few weeks after /
rode in the Cali iornia Associated Cycling
Clubs meets that l made mistake. Then
only rode 10 help The California Associated
Cycling Cubs as at that tllne l thought of
giving up racing.
Why, when F. A. Mcfarland and C. S. Wells
saw that the new governing body was to take
control in California in opposition to the
League of American Wheelmen they imme-
lately left for the East, preferring rot 10 mix
UP with r. NJ. Welcn and Others who had de-
Sc rted the League of American w neelmen be-
cause the League of American Wheelmen re-
fused TO sanction Sunday racing in California.
l would have done the same thlng. but at that
time thought. as l said before, that l wou d
end my racing career. In what few reces L
rode for the California Associated Cycling
Clubs d i'd it at their gent request
Ibis year the Eastern riders will boycott
California. McFarla and Wells Will re eturn
TO the coast, however, and some good racing
under the League of American Wheel liner
rules will be the result

There has been a change in the order
designating a commander for the over
land expedition. Lieutenant Dodge, who
was serving on a revenue cutter stationed
in Massachusetts, was first selected for
the duty, but his wife, who has been re-
siding In Boston, so slrenueusiy opposed
his going that he was finally compelled to
ask to be relieved, which reque-t was
granted. To-day actin Secretary Howell
wired TO Captain Tuitle that Lieutenant
Jarvis would lead the land expedition,
and that he would start Immediately from
Pennsylvania for Seattle.
Several days ago The CALL stated that
Lieutenant Jarvis had wired to Captain
Tutt!e with reference 10 the expedition
and taat the Captain was in hopes that he
would be joined b. his former first Lieu
absence early in Septem ber, when the
Bear was at ST. Michael. a young daugh-

Jarvis continued on his way on board The

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 1.-THE County
Horticultural Commisslone: met this
morning. Ehrhorn read the resolution
drawn up by the com mittee appointed
yesterday stating that as there was
danger of iutrod uction OF insect pests
through the mails 1t was resolved that
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson be re-
quested to ask the Postmaster General
for permission to inspect all parcels con-
tanning plants coming INTO the State.
1t was decided that Ehrhorn should pre-
sent the resolution to the Frult-G overs
Convention and ask that it be acted on
i'm mmedlatelv.
Craw said that the railroad company
had taken great interest in the matter
and issued instructions to its agents TO re-
port 10 the com missioners.
Ashley of San Joaquin advocated in
snection and destruction of inles ed fruit.
He thought if a few bttcheS were de-
stroyed it would tend to make people more
careful to clean their orchards. He would
like 10 know if The commissioners had
authority 10 condemn such fruit indivdu-
ally.
Craw said the fruit could be condemned
as nu Sance. AS The law gave eacb COM
missioner a district, he thought each had
full authority in his district. Several
com issioners thought that at least two
m IN Ders of the board should act in con-
demning. Craw thought it would be we'll
for the Board of Horticulture to submit
the question to the Attorney General for
his opinion, and IL was decided to ask the
board 10 do so.
Rust explained how the reports of in
spector, in his county were kept. and sew
eral other com missioners detailed the
practice prevailing in their counties.
Considerable discussion was had on the
decision OF Judge Van Dyke that the
Legislature could not make the charge for
cleaning an orchard from fruit pests a
lien on the land, and it was proposed to
take the case to the Supreme Court and
have IL settled, as the decision would, if it
stands, seriously interfere with the work
of the com mmis ssioners, but no action was
taken.

same as the one which was defeated at
the polls al the late election.
"Such committee" continued the re.
por lin its active mem bershfp has for
gaiding hands many OF those who frame ID
such defeated charter. Such committee
has practically agreed upon a one-man
power charter, and without being author

traEie and submit such a charter, and has
not consulted this party as TO its wishes
or views either as to charter or Free

The report OF the executive committee
was adopted by the convention and TWO
