Bishop Worthington of Omaha is new
q strict churchman. His sermons are
severe in doctrine and hold cut little
hope 20 sinners unless they repent.
However, the bishop knows human ma
ture. He learned it III the best school
for an education Of that kind-the Ear
west.
Years ago, when Mr.. Worthinston
was n recent graduate fIom the theolog-
ical seminary, he began his gospel work
in Butte, Mon. The town was then q
mining camp pure ard simple. Ii had
saloons, dance halls aud gambling
rooms, but neither church nor school.
Its inhabitants Were rough, tough and
ready-manliness was their god. and it
was this manliness which made the
west what it is.
At college Worthington was "a boxer
and an oarsman. In Butte these accom-
plishments served him well, for they
gave him n strong arm and a quick eye.
His gospel services were held i'll tent.
There was no money to build n church.
One day as he was walking along the
principal street the bully of the town
approached him.
''Do you want to fSht?' asked the
Desperate.
No." replied the clergyman.
"Then take thatr'
But that" never came. Worthing-
ton warded of the blow, and with his
good right fist sent the bully to grass in
scientific fashion.
That night the affair was talked over
in Cy Henry's gambling house.
1 like that chap Worthington, "said
Bill johnson. He strikes good blow.
Let's all play for him tonight
The proposition was agreed to, and
the next morning $500 won at faro
was presented to the minister. That
money built the first church i'll Butte.

SCORES OF NEEDY FAMILIES
URGENT CASES TEMPORARILY
PROVIDED FOR.
Supervisors Will Probably Revive
the Squirrel Bounty, Build
New Roads and Repair
Old Ones.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALINAS, Sept. 6.-The committee of
citizens appointed five weeks since to
investigate reports of restitution in the
southern portion of this county re-
ported to the Board of Supervisors this
afternoon a full account Of their in
vestigations. Sixty-seven letters, ask
ing for immediate relief, were received
inside of three weeks, sixty Of which
asked immediate aid for families to
stave off starvation. Not one of those
who are reported to the committee had
applied themselves, but by neighbors.
Several families in Jolon district were
in such urgent need that the commit
tee took a small collection of provisions
and money and supplied their immedi-
ate wants until the present meeting of
the board.
The appeals in many cases have been
pitiful. One mother writes that her
provisions are all gone, and for her
children's sake she must seek charity.
Others say there are lots Of people in
this part of the country in utter dis
tress who need only work, as the stores
will not trust any one who does not
own property. No meat has been
eaten in the stricken section for weeks,
and all that can be procured are bacon
and beans, which are nearly all gone.
They ask how to obtain help, and say
In the name of God and humanity,
help US and save our country's fair
name"
To remedy this state of affairs the
committee presented petition to the
Board of Supervisors this afternoon, in
which they state that owing to the
drought and the consequent failure Of
crops in the southern portion of the
county there are many worthy people
in limited circumstances and almost
destitute, and to remedy this state OF
affairs, which has been heightened by
other circumstances, they ask that a
squirrel bounty Of 3 cents be granted
on each squirrel killed within the
county, which will, owing to the scar
city of food, result in the almost total
humiliation of the squirrel pest; also
that the board authorize improvements
in the construction, repair and rebuild
ing of roads in southern Monterey
County and only employ those who are
in need-not awarding the work to con-
tractors-thereby giving the same
where it is needed and distributing it
in such manner as to benefit the larg
est possible number of people.
This petition, which was added to the
report, has been signed by over 500 Of
the most prominent citizens of the
county, and the board will doubtless re-
new the squirrel tax bounty and build
new roads.

Cruelty to Horses.

On several occasions recently COM
plants have been made to the officers OF
the Society for the Prevention OF Cru
city to Animals that the horses used by
the San Francisco Transfer Company
were in such condition as to be unit

complaints were well founded. One poor
beast was covered with harness sores,
and the driver acknowledged that only
last week 1t had fallen from exhaustion
while hauling freight to the ferry. An
other horse was found in similar con-
dition. The transfer company hired Its
stock from Joost Bros, 600 Cough street,
and accompanied by officer Walton the
stables were visited by McCurry, who
arrested Tim Quad, the foreman, for
cruelty to animals. QUAD said the own
ers Of the horses knew of their condition,
and had given orders for them to be
sent out to the transfer company. Nc
Curry aff1rms that he will swear out
owners of the horses.

CONSPIRACY NOT A CRIME
COLLECTOR JACKSON HAS NO
POWER.

Federal officials are still engaged in
boring mole tunnels In the Chinese Bu-
reau scandal. Major Moore was not at
his office yesterday, and his clerks would
not give any information regarding his
movements. All that could be gathered
from them was that he was out of town.
Collector Jackson was in the same bliss
full condition of mentality. He was out
of town, he said, when the articles ap-
peared in The Call concerning the old
story of bribery by the Chinese brokers.
He admitted that he had not taken any
steps to ascertain the whereabouts of
Chan Tai Tsung, the writer of the COM
promising letter found secreted upon the
person of Hew Hon, the cook, arrested
by Inspectors Lynch and Gardner on the
Mail Dock. In fact, he did not know
whether the detection of the writer
would accomplish any good result what
ever. Colonel Jackson said that he had
failed to find any Federal statute under
which Chan Tai Tsung or any other per-
son engaged in conspiracy to land Chi
nese could be prosecuted or punished He
had failed also to find any statute by
which any one of the gang of Chinese
brokers' and hired witnesses now infest-
Ing the Chinese Bureau could be pun
ished, either for conspiracy or for per-
jury. Perjury in the legal and punishable
sense, he explained, could be committed
oiily III Juulc1al proceeding. The pro-
ceedings relating to the landing Of Chi
nese by the Collector of the Port are
executive, not judicial, Therefore, what
ever false testimony may be given with
the purpose and intent of defeating the
operation of Federal statute is neither
perjury nor conspiracy.
Chief Meredith is very sore over the
statement that certain unnamed Federal
off1cials of high and low degree intimate
that he should be held responsible for the
leakage In his office indicated by the let
ter of Chan Tai Tsung of Sam Hop G.
Co. of sol Dupont street He regards
that inttmation as a reflection upon his
integrity, and refuses to admit that 1t
may be criticism upon his competency
to maintain an effective watch upon the
doings of his subordinates. He admits
that as custodian of the written testi-
mony he would be responsible for its es-
cape into the ranks of the enemy, but
he denies that 1t has escaped. His the
DRY is that the statement made In the
letter of Chan Tai Tsung was a bluff
designed to impress the person addressed
with the idea that he, Chan, had cor
rupted the bureau and could land him
safely.
The Federal officials have not charged
Mr. Meredith with being corrupt They
simply. at this stage of the inquiry, hold
him responsible as chief of the bureau for
the leakage which they believe exists.
