sanger called attention to the 9th of Sep
tember, the day on which the court-mar-
tial at Rennes found Dreyfus guilty, as
'the day upon which human justice was
assassinated and the French nation sane
titled by crime"
''I can understand" he said, "at this
particular point in the worlds history
that there are some people who will ask
Where is God"

standpoint of this case" he continued, re-
ferrng to the Dreyfus court-martial. AT

ogists who write history-but tonight l
intend to confine myself to a consideration
of this case from the standpoint of an or
dinary American citizen, to ascertain
whether or not it has merit.
There are a good many people her, here

not dignity them by denouncing them as

speak of Dreyfus as the Jew, but as a

has he to say for himself before the bar
of public opinion in America? Is he guilty
or not guity?"
Rabbi Voorsanger briefly reviewed the
history of the first court-martial. the ac-
ton taken five years later by the Court
of Cessation and the recent proceedings
of the military court at Rennes. OF tho
case he said:
Sometimes I think the whole affair ought
not to be taken seriously. Wasn't it a
beautiful arrangement. They had tradi-
ton in olden times of the Man with the
Iron Mask; and they had the prisoner of

THE NEW COAST
AND GEODET|C
STEAMER HERE
Pathfinder Is in Port
From San Diego.

The United States coast and geodetic
survey steamer Pathfinder arrived from
New York last Sunday night. She is a
brand new vessel, having been completed
during the Spanish war. She will go to
the navy yard and have a few small guns
put aboard, after which she will do some
important work for Uncle Sam in the
neighborhood of Hawaii. After that she
will go to Alaskan waters. The Path
finder is a wonderfully economical boat,
as she can steam 250 knots on a con-
sumption of ten tons of coal.
The Pathfinder left New York in June
last and went to Washington d. c, From
there she went to Norfolk and some de-
fects having been found in her she went
to Newport News for an overhauling
She started on her long journey to San
Francisco on June 16, and stopped on the
way at San Lucie. Pernambuco, Rio de
Janeiro, Montevideo, and then made her
way through the straits of Magellan to
Callao, and from there to San Diego and
thence to this port. The trip was an
uneventful one. The men caught sixteen
turtles after leaving Callao and the last
one was not consumed until San Diego
was reached. At San Diego, as already
told in The Call, one of the cadets was
taken sick and died.
Captain Perkins is in command of the
Pathfinder and he is assisted by Execu-
tive officer Dow, Second officer Glover

neer Godsborough is in charge of the
engine room and Eugene Wheat is pay
master. The Pathfinder is anchored in
naval row, just astern of the Marble
head and Iowa.
The German gunboat Geier went to sea
yesterday. She will stop at Esquimalt
3. G., and will then go for cruise in
Bering Sea.
The steamer Sequoia had a narrow es-
cape yesterday. She went on DuXbury
reef. but was got off without assistance.
Owing to the dense fog Captain Thurieg
had stopped the, engines, having run up
his distance, and the vessel was drifting
with the tide. The first intimation of
danger was when the vessel struck. She
stayed on the reef about four hours and
then came off. She had on board 175 900
feet of lumber, and as soon as it is dis
charged she will be docked for an ex-
animation. Captain Thurieg does not
think the hull is materially damaged

Orient Sunday night, had aboard eighty

IL rest Of Mrs. Mary Weber, known
I to the police and Oakland resi-
dents as Mrs. Mary Martin.
Mrs. Foss charges Mrs. Martin.
aIlas Weber, with grand larceny. She
claims that for weeks she has been under
the hypnotic influence of Mrs Martin,
and that while controlled by the Will Of
the mesmerist she signed away her prop
erty TO her
This is the second time Mrs. Martin has
appeared in the role of hypnotist with
running accompaniment of realty spirited
away from a subjective victim. Sarah
Leonard of Oakland first felt the mag
netic passes of Mrs. Martin, and while
under the mysterious influence decided all
her property to Oakland's Nine. SVengah.
Carrie Judd Montgomery, the famous Sal
Vauonist, espoused the cause of Miss Leon
ard and was instrumental in having meted
out 10 the mesmerist her just deserts.
The case came up before Judge Greene,
and MIS-. Martin was sentenced to 4 ten
years term in the State penitentary. The
hypnoust served four years of her term,
was pardOned by Governor Budd and re-
leased from custody about two years ago.
Mrs. Foss, the Martin woman latest
victim, was in such a weak mental and
physical condition yesterday that II was

Il first met the woman" explained Mrs.
Foss, when l had my house at 30S Leav-
enworth street for sale. Mr.. Rand, real
estate agent, brought her to me. The
price l asked for the house was $500. After
looking over the house Mrs. Weber said
she would take it and pay $500 down,
whiclG she declared was owed her by her

Foss, Mrs. Weber returned and said
Meyer had refused to let her have the
money. / am anxious to get the house,
she told me. and if l had a bill Of sale
l could obtain the necessary amount. Mr..
Rand drew up a bill Of sale, which was
given to Mrs. Weber, with the under.
standing that she was to give me $500 and
assume the mortgages held by the turnl-
ture company. She did not give the money
from her and put ii away in table

Mrs MaTun then came TO the mousse TO
