Meyer in Court the Day After He Won a
 Sheepskin.
Not Having a License He Was Forced to Give His
 Testimony.
Lost His Suit but Thinks He Car Win by Prosecuting an
 Appeal.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, May 5.
 J. s. Meyer passed his examination be- fore the Supreme Court to practice law a week ago. The next morning he was engaged in a case in the Police court appearing as attorney Tor contractor Quirk, who was on trial for an alleged violation of the ordinance governing the laying of sewers.
 Although it requires no license to prac- tice in the Police Court, the practitioner cannot plead that he Is debarred from testifying, if called upon, on the plea or professional confidence.
 Prosecuting Attorney Melvin was con ductine, the case for the people, and he put J. S. Meyer on the stand to testl1y against Quirk. Meyer protested that ne was an attorney and declined to tesuIy' making the excuse that the information he possessed was obtained in confidence from Ouirk. Judge Allen ruled that as Never had no license to practice law, no such professional confidence could exist, ana to avoid contempt proceedings Meyer gave his testimony.
 F Fitch, who also appeared as attorney for Quirk, declare that it was tnrou9l Meyers testimony that the verdict was reached. -
 The next morning Meyer received his certificate from the clerk of the Supreme Court, showing that he had successfully passed ms eStiInlNallOH StlIu ilS1u ocSii GU mitted to practice law. Now the point arises whether Meyer was bona nae attorney as soon as his case was passed upon by the Commissioners, or whether his legal standing became fact only when he received this certificate. lie De- lIeves that if an appeal be taken he can satisfy the Superior Court that he was de facto an attorney at the time he was ordered on the witness stand, and that his testimony should, therefore, be Strlck- an from the record IL this be done At torney Meyer is confident the judgment ,,r;1I 6a

Inc resolution was adopted without Ief
ereuce to the finance committee, members
OF which expressed themselves as heart
lily in favor of It,
Mr. W. H. Trezevant, secretary of ,he
committee in the Weston beouest nre-
scented a long report. favoring the estab-
hshment of a church hall at NIilladpe-
vile, as a memorial to Bishop Elliot. 1t
Is desired to make provision for the board
and lodging of from twenty to thirty
girls, whose education will be received IN
the Georgia Normal and Industrial
School, where there is a full corps of
competent teachers in all departments
ample apparatus etc. Each year finds
an increased number of church girls in
attendance, whom to bring together in fam
lily life, with refined SURROUNDINGS and
Christian influences, Is the object of the
venture house mother is to be put in
charge of the hall, with the priest in
charge of st. Stephens Church, Milledge-
vile, as eX-officio chaplain. The work of
the house would be done chiefly by the
girls and the expenses to them would be
small, $3.50 to $500 a month.
The president of the Normal and In
dustrial School has assured the commit
tee of his hearty cooperation TO make
the church hall plan a success. About
$500 will be required for furnishing The
hall, and suitable building can be bought
for $3.50 to $1,000, or rented for $500
month. The income from the fund held
by the trustees amounts to about $3.50 per
annum, in addition to which there would
be the money received from those accom-
modated at the hall. The selection of
suitable house mother would rest with
the bishop. 1t was recommended that the
committee be continued with the bishop IS
chairman to make further Investigations
and take such further steps as may be
possible to secure the object desired. The
report was adopted AS noted elsewhere,
the Woman's Auxiliary will endeavor TO
raise $500 for furnishing the hall.
The revised canons next came up for
consideration. There are thirty canons,
some with several sections. The discus
sion over some of them was quite general,
one of the most prolonged being over the
question of priests right to a seat and
vote in the convention when he has failed
to make his report of his parish or mis-
sion TO the bishop. An amendment was
finally adopted depriving the priest of
seat only when he fails TO give suitable
excuse for failure TO present such re-
port.
Another long discussion was that over
proposition to pay the expenses of lay del
egates, as well as of the clergy, attend
ing diocesan conventions. The canon was
finally laid on the table. An amendment,
under which the travelling expenses of
the missionaries will be paid by the treas
DRY of the diocese, was afterwards passed.
Other clergymen will pay their own eX-
penses as will also the lay delegates.
Only four canons had been disposed of
when the convention adjourned at
o clock.

DIRECTOR STEWARDS SIDE OF 1T.
Says With One or Two Exceptions
All Salaries Were Arranged

Says With One or Two Exceptions
All Salaries Were Arranged.
Savannah, Ga, May l9.-Editor Morn
ing News: In your paper this morning
under the heading of pat MeaRey Here"
the following was published:
''Meaney's account of the disarmament
of the club differs from that given by
Managing Director Stewart, in that Mean
ey says the players have not been paid
their salaries up to May 10"
saw Meaney this morning and he says
he made no such statement and was WILL
ing 10 correct same over his signature.
In justice to Capt. Walker and Mr.. Arm
strong, both whom We're officers of the Sa-
vannah Base BAH Association and now
absent from Savannah, 1 ask space to
state that with the exception of one or two
players, all the salaries were arranged up
TO May Is, and these players have been
satisfied. The unfortunate trouble in Mo
bile was caused by players who owe the
club money. The Savannah Base Ball
Association disbanded its team because
the Western clubs were so financially weak
that they could not live up to the finan-
clal rules of the league. Not being in the
business to lose money, We decided 10 quit
before we did so.
Murray NJ. Stewart, Managing Director
Savannah b. B. c. A.
The statement as TO the failure to pay
the players salaries, attributed to Mr.
Meaney was made TO a Morning News re-
porter in the presence of witnesses.
Mr.. A. S. Cooper, who accompanied the
Savannah club on its trip abroad, has re-
turned. He says the story of the disband-
ment of the club telegraphed from Mo
bile, places him in a false position.
Mr.Cooper says he did not receive instruc-
tons to disband the club on Saturday, but
did receive instructions to submit
proposition to the players after Sundays
game, proposing a reduction in the sala-
ries of all the players
That was done and the players refused
to accept the reduction offered but made
a counter proposition, which Mr. Cooper
telgraphed to Managing Director Stewart
in Savannah. The offer of the PLAYERS
evidently did not meet with favor, for Mr.
Stewart wired back to Mr.. Cooper to dis
band the club, after playing Mondays
game and securing the $50 guarantee This
was not done, Manager Kelly of Noble re-
fusing TO give the guarantee, as Savan-
nah was then considered out of the league.
The players received Savannah's share of
the gate receipts of Mondays game.
Mr.. Cooper says his instructions were
not to pay the players any money, and he
did not even know the amounts due them,
if any. He was simply an employe of the
club acting under instructions from Man
aging Director Stewart and in the alb
sence of instructions to pay the men of
course he did not do so.
"The players We're absolutely penniless,"
said MIR. Cooper, 'and as the laws of Mo-
bile require that 'paupers' brought into
the city shall be provided for by whoever
is responsible for their being there, I was
placed in an embarrassing position until
the club telegraphed me money 10 give the
players"
Mr.. Cooper said he paid' the players IS
a piece.
