CHARGES COLLISION. Minority Directors of the Bank of San Luis Obispo Ask for
 Relief

OAKLAND, Feb. 19.-I c. Wickersham has filed his fourth amended complaint against James l.. Crittenden, w. S. Will son, Thomas T. Crittenden and the Bank of San Luis Obispo. He claims that he brings the suit in behalf of the directors of the bank other than the defendants, and that he did not secure the directors permission to bring the suit, as it is their acts of which he complains.
 J. M. Wilcoxon and R. V. BouIdin are the other directors, besides the defendants The complaint alleges that all of them were elected in October, 1894, and have been reelected annually. The defendant. James l.. Crittenden was elected president at salary of $250 per month w. S. Will son cashier at $l50 per month and T. T. Crittenden bookkeeper at $100 per month It further declares that all of the work could be performed by one man: that neither T. T. Crittenden nor w. $. Will son own any stock, but simply hold in their names that of James l.. Crittenden, in order to vote; that they vote as he or ders; refuse to attend meetings when James L. Crittenden is absent; loan money to themselves without security. and that two-thirds of the money at. in terest is so loaned. from which the bank receives no interest.
 He then states that 1t Is only matter of time when the entire capital stock will be used up and the bank become insol- vent. He asks for restraining order to keep them from taking any more of the funds; an order compelling them to re- turn whatever they now hold with inter- est: the removal of all three and the substitution of one man to do all neces- sary work.

BOYD WILL SUE PRESS CLUB. Landlord Attempts to Hold Up the Organization on a Bad
 oA

It seems doubtful if the San Francisco Press Club will be able to move into it's spacious new premises on Ellis street without encountering suit for breach of contract, which is threatened by Alexan- der Boyd, owner of all, or a part interest in the Thurlow block, the building in which the Press Club is now located.
 It appears that nearly four years ago the club leased it's present premises from a Miss Waters, who held a lease from the owners for three years. When she sub- let the rooms to the club she gave the members q five years lease. At the end of the second year of the lease Miss Waters transferred her interest to Mr. Walker and at the end of the third year the three-year lease expired, and W Walker did not renew 1t. The Press Club still continued to occupy the rooms, although not legally bound to do so. and now they are preparing to move to their new prem ises. Boyd threatens to bring suit against them to compel them to occupy the prem ises for the five years specified in Miss Waters lease to the club.
 AS the club numbers among its mem bers many clever lawyers. MT. Boyd would appear to have a hard time In forcing the club to live up to an agree ment which is not good in law The club will move into its new premises on Feb ruary 22, notwithstanding Boyd's many threats of legal proceedings

Rev. c. C. Herriott's Proof That He Acted
 Rightly.
His Change of Faith Led to a Meeting After Twenty
 Five Years.
One Brother Went Into the Ministry and the Other Went to
 Texas.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


 The change of belief of Rev. c. c. Herriott of East Oakland, which was made public last week, has led to his meeting with brother who has been using an assumed name and whom the clergyman has not seen for quarter of a century At the time he pro- claimed his disbelief in some of the tenets of the Presbyterian faith, Mir. Herriott said he believed he was being divinely led Now he is sure of it.
 The Herriott brothers parted twenty five years ago and went different ways c. C. Herriott went into the ministry and his brother, James. went to Texas and horse training. A few days ago Mrs. Herriott received letter during the absence of her husband. It stated the fact that the writer was hard up and not fixed for travelling; referred to the fact that his landlady at Stock ton was a grand Christian woman; said he had seen an account of Rev. Herriott's change of faith, and was signed, Your brother, James Henry"
 Mir. Herriott at once concluded the letter was from crank and was sur prised to learn the truth. According to the pdSlOT, HIS DTOluST mas naQ a romantic existence during the last twenty-five years.
 1T met my brother in Stockton last Monday" said Rev. c. c. Herriott to- day.
 When we last heard from him he was in Leadville, Colo, where he was married. I was in Indianapolis, where I had just begun my ministry. His wife died and he came to this State. He was fine horseman and began the training and tanning of horses.
 He spent two years in Texas, but returned and has resided in this State ever since. He visited Oakland three or four years ago, and tanned an ami nal that killed it's owner out on San Pablo avenue. Like many another man of his business, he drank some, but was never what is called a bad fellow. When I told him of his mothers death he broke down and cried.
 He says his only reason for drop ping part of his name was to lose his identity on account of the loss of his wife.
 He told me that when he read the paper with my picture in it he turned to the hotel clerk and said: That is my brother and that is my last name 1 am going to write to him He did so with the result as have stated. Un- der these circumstances I feel that my action regarding the Presbytery has the divine approval.

WHAT BR1HaErH THE FUTURE.

When the administration changed
from democratic to republican a vast
multitude of people looked for relief
and happier state of affairs. Many
whose political convictions were not in
harmony with the republican idea, for
the moment, gave way to judgment
and said perhaps am wrong and my
republican neighbor is right. He joined
with all mankind in hoping for univer-
sal content and happiness to come.
But, alb, 1t was not so to be. Republic
can theories have been put to test; we
have the result. Money owners and
hnancierS, sO-called, have done their
utmost to force money throughout ev-
cry channel, artery and the minutest
vein of commerce and have to some ex-
tent succeeded, yet labor lies dormant
at the mercy of capital. The laborer is
ensnared; he is in the relentless iron
grasp OF capital and is now the victim
of lower wages than ever before. Hope
was his comforter when the republican
party assumed power, now grim despair
is his specter. The capitalist hoped
not in vain; he has been made richer
but is not content; he is seeking other
victims, new lands to absorb and other
regions to conquer. 10 him the pros
pect is bright. He has back of him the
strong hand OF the government and
those whom he Is bent on victimizing
have been cunningly deprived of any
material protection.
Then what will be the logical future
result? What are the possibilities,
what will be the reality. The mill may
give forth its smoke, the factory may
emit its productivity may and they
may not-but it is certain that the pro-
Queer, the consumer and the laborer
will pay dearly for it all. There is
nothing ahead but abject slavery unless
the system Is completely revolutionized.
You control mans pocket book and
you control his body. Monopoly now
dictates where the tOiler shall live, how
he shall live and when he shall live.
When it can no longer use him he is
consigned to that sleep which knows
no Weakening. 1t is a sad picture and
one we do not like to dwell upon but
the condition is here and We must all
face it sooner or later.
