tomorrow send a message to con-

of war be passed. The message was
in course OF preparation at the state
department this afternoon. This ac-
ton was FASTENED by the seizure of
the Spanish merchantmen off the

vent any possiblecomplication. The
right of the seizure of the Buena Ven

the administration, since Spain her

CHICAGO VAMPIRES.
Chinese and Other Opium "JOint''
Keepers 'sBled'' by the Police.

CHICAGO. Jan. 25.-The committee from
the State Senate investigating the Chicago
police force heard testimony to-day tending
to show that a regular police system of
blackmail on the Chinese and white opium
joints exists. Several Chinese were before
the committee, but with one or two excep-
tions they said they were afraid to testify.
Sing Ting, proprietor of an opium joint
said in reply to questions that if Governor
Tanner or Mayor Harrison would guarantee
him protection, he would tell all he knew.
Sing Ting said that within the past ten days
the police had visited all the opium joints
and warned the keepers against giving testi-
mony before the Senate committee. When
asked If police in uniform had not called
him for tribute Sing Ting said the ques-
ton was too hard for him to answer He
created somewhat of a sensation by stating
that he and Sam Moy had once been i'm
prisoned for fifteen days on the North Side
for talking too much,' and that Sam Moy
had been compelled to leave the city. Moy
Tin was more free in his answers. He said
that most OF the opium joint proprietors
paid $40 a week for police protection He,
however, paid but So a week, telling the
man who called to collect that amount was
all he could afford The man. according to
Moy Tin, said that Alderman Coughlin was
the beneficiary.

REV. BROWN CONFESSES
END OF A SENSATIONAL SAN FRAN
CISCO CHURCH SCANDAL.
After Two Years of DeniaIs the Re-
pentant Preacher Admits the
Charges Against Him Were True.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 25.-After two
years of denials and protestations that he
Was innocent of the sensational charges
brought against him while pastor of
the First Congregational Church in this
city, the Rev. Charles o. Brown has APP
peared before the Bay Conference and with
drawn his former answer to it's citation and
confessed that he had not told the truth
and that some of the charges against him
were true. After the confession was read
there was further hearing and a long
discussion, at the end of which DR.. Brown
was unanimously dropped by the Bay Con-
ference but the members extended to the
repentant pastor their personal sympathy.
In his confession he says he has asked that
his name be dropped from the roll of the
Chicago association. Browns confession
which is typewriter statement of about
one thousand words, does not go into de-
tails. 1t simply admits he has sinned. After
Withdrawing his former reply to the Bay
Conference DIR. Brown says:
- small part of the accusations against
me was true. For any wrong which / had
done / had sought forgiveness, both of God
and man. ] had turned utterly and with
adherence from it long before l was pub
licly accused. Such were the conditions
prevailing IN san francisco, SO awful was
the storm which threatened that, overcome
for the time with unworthy fear, denied
any wrong. but all should be believed.
There were several times during the
progress of the first council when / would
have gladly told the brethren all. l would
not now wish to be understood as accusing
the young woman who begged me to re-
frain. | am sure you will impute nothing
to the kind and Christian friends who have
stood by me. They believed my public
statements. 1t has been a snare that L
could truthfully deny much. But at this
have l repudiated the folly of building a
havoc of truths for lie TO live in. Unto
you. my brethren of the Bay Conference,
confess the grievouS wrong, and through
you | confess TO the whole sisterhood of
churches | also confess to the Dubuque
grievous wrong in accepting the fellowship
of the one and seeking that of the other.
herewith request that my name be dropped
from the roll of the Chicago association"
Mr.. Brown says that he was overcome
with remorSe on his way East and then
wrote out confession, but after being so
kindly received in Chicago he reconsidered
this determination The committee con-
sidered the confession and reported unani-
mousiy in favor of dropping Brown from
the roll. Brown still has friends in the COM
him leniently, in view of his repentance.
The decision was finally made TO drop
Browns name from the roll, though the
conference extended him its sympathy. 1t
is his intention, so he declares to preach
upon the street corners and in the slums.

men are unorganized. In all other indus
tries. except that of the agriculturist and
stock grower, there is combination and
seem that success in this age of intense
competition and cashing of different inter-
ests comes only from association of those
tention to detail. The most pressing need
for a strong association at this time, how
ever, is to bring pressure on making
bodies and transportation companies. There
is necessity for some new laws and
changes in existing laws. With proper
leadership and thorough organization, stock
growing interests can be well protested
