caused hts arrest for battery and he
was released on bail pending trial on
Thursday in the police court. Both

him or her out of large sums Of money,
but II was merely case Of mistaken
affinity.
The Belle Helene after her tickle Paris
had sought other lodgings removed all
his belongings to the house of one

although both teams were suffering
slightly with colds, their singing was

THE REAL PROBLEM
CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM REMEDY
FOR INDUSTRIAL ILLS
Municipal and National Corruption
the Outgrowth of Competition,
Says Rev. Bliss

Guild hall Of St. Paul's church was
filled to overflowing and numbers were
unable to find standing room last even
ing at the second lecture Of the social
mission being held this week by Rev.
w. p. d. Bliss of Boston. The audience
les, and then besieged the reverend
gentleman with questions for half
hour or more at the close, which were
answered promptly, tersely and evident
ly satisfactorily to the questioners.
"The Real Problem" was the subject
and the problem as presented proved to
be cooperation, instead of the present
crushing system Of competition-broth-
erhood In government to supplant the
struggle Of the Individual. Socialism
was very clearly defined as the Christian
ideal and spirit applied to practical life
People fear Socialism will quench in
dividuality," said the speaker, but IT
is the present struggle for the almighty
dollar that is crushing the individual.
when the government was formed by
it's founders, individualism was what we
needed; it was necessary to get away
from paternalism, from feudalism; but
we went to too great an extreme and
now we need to swing back to social
ISM
The speaker dealt drastically with
municipal and governmental corrup-
ton in the interest Of great corpora
tions. The way to stop all these abuses
Is to stop the individual struggle and
work for each other, stop competing
stop trying to get our neighbor's work
and combine in brotherhood, which is
Christian Socialism.
Mr.. Bliss speaks this evening on "Div.
idends and Dives, or the Problem of the
CITY," at Guild hall at o'clock.

SCHILLING'S BEST
The German Of Many Aliases Thumped
For Stealing a Ring

The charge Of petty larceny that has
been pending in the police court against
the young German who pretended to be
relative to Schlitz, the st. Louis brew
er, and to Schilling, the San Francisco
tea man, whose names he took as occa-
sion seemed to warrant 1t, as we'll as
that Of Stein, which has also some con-
nection with beer, was yesterday dis
missed by Judge Morrison. Schilling
was accused by Mrs. Matte Harraden
of the Berlin lodging house on Broadway
Of having stolen ring from her while
guest at her place, but the testimony
failed to connect him with its disappear
ance.
He Is not released from custody, how
ever, on that account, as other cases of
petty thieving are booked against him.
Detective Goodman has been keeping
track of Schilling's doings since he re-
turned from San Diego, and has added
another alias to the Germans extensive
collection. Under the name Of Mulhaus-
en- he made the acquaintance Of young
woman who resides at 2O51a West Second
street several weeks ago, and presented
her with pair of silk stockings, which
he presumably had hooked somewhere
while on one Of his expeditions for q
suite Of rooms that became a man Of his
pretended position and financial stand
ing.
He returned soon after and made his
suite-of-rooms play to the landlady.
While conversing with her he took par
ticular notice of her heavy wedding ring
and requested permission to examine it..
While thus engaged the landlady was
called out for a moment and upon her
return found that the wedding ring and
the baron of Mulhausen had vanished.
But the husband Of the landlady had
had good glimpse Of the young man
when he called, and so, few days after
ward, meeting him face to face on the
street, he gave him a well-deserved
thrashing. Mulhausen was made to
show where he had pawned the ring and
it was recovered.

Theo. Durrant's Body to
Be Incinerated
IN A PASADENA CREMATORY
FRISCO CEMETERIES REFUSE TO
RECEIVE THE CORPSE
Remains to Arrive Wednesday After
noon-Grief-Stricken Father
Will Accompany Them

Mr. and Mrs. Durrant have tried ir
vain to find place to bury the body OF
their son Theodore H. Durrant, the
criminal of the century," who was
hanged on Friday at San Quentin. Ir
and about San Francisco all of the Gem
eteries and crematories have positively
refused to receive the body. and all Of
this time the afflicted father and mother
have had to guard the grewsome object
in their home. They had appealed tc
the crematory in this city, and other
places in the state and had been refused,
when Kregelo & Bresee heard Of the d.
lemma in which the parents found them
selves and communicated with the crem-
atory at Pasadena, asking the propri-
etors, Reynolds & Van Nuys, If they
would take the body and reduce 1t to
ashes. The parents preferred that ere
nation be resorted to, as they greatly
feared that resurrectionists would dig
up the body to sell it to medical men for
the purposes Of post mortem examina-
tions.
Yesterday morning a reply was re-
ceived from the Pasadena men stating
that they would receive the body, and
the reply was sent to AL White in San
Francisco who was acting for Mr.. Dur
rant. In a short time word came that
the perplexed family would be only too
glad to accept the proffer, and that the
remains would be sent to this city to-
day. Arrangements were at once con-
cluded with the Pasadena men, though
there is still some demur on their part
as far as allowing any other firm to act
in the matter, but it was thought last
night that this could easily be arranged.
The body of the monster of Emanuel
church will probably arrive here to-
morrow on the afternoon train from
San Francisco. All possible efforts will
be made to prevent the affair from be-
coming a spectacle for the morbid
minded, and as far as arranged now, 1t
will all be conducted in as private a
manner as possible.
1t is understood that Mr.. Durrant will
come with his sons body I'M order to be
sure that 1t Is not disturbed en- route,
and to receive the ashes at the conclu-
sion of the cremation, and 1t Is possible
that Mrs. Durrant will accompany him.
them In San Francisco are burdened
with the apprehension that their sons
remains will be made the object Of
show or medical demonstration Of his
physical peculiarities. and have ex-
pressed themselves as not being able to
rest until such disposition DO made of
the body as will render any such invest
igation impossible.
There will not be any religious cere-
mony at the crsmatory. at least this Is
understood by those in this city who are
acting in the matter. though as Dur
rant died in the Catholic faith it is mot
probable that any difficulty would be
had in securing priest for such offices.
