and considerable money and jewelry and
a check for 500 were among the property
found missing when Mrs. Wakefield ar
rived home. There are others stopping

list Of missing property and money could
not be ascertained tonight.
The residence of Mrs Easel at Tenth

and here the booty amounted to SIG in
cash, lot of iewelry, opera glasses, etc
The residence of Rev. Charles R. Brown,
pastor of the First Congregational
Church. Twenty-flrst and Webster streets,
was also entered, but the noise of the
breaking of pane of glass was heard by
neighbors, who, in their endeavors to
ascertain the cause, frightened the burg
lars away. Nothing is reported as miss
ing from Rev. Mr.. Browns residence.
The jobs were not perpetrated by nov
ices, but experienced crooks. In each in
stance the locks on the front doors were
very cleverly picked and thus admittance
was gained.

RESPONSIBILITY of Churches.

Rev. 2. Coombe, pastor of the Richmond
Congregational Church, delivered ser
mon last night on 1.-The Power and Re
sponsibility of the Churches His ser
mon showed much research and deep
study. He began by illustrating the pow
er of the Jewish church in It's early days.
From the Bible. as well as History, was
shown the fact that the Jewish nation
was the greatest on earth as long as it's
people followed the laws and precepts of
It's church. Its decay began with its de-
parture from the laws of Moses.
Taking up the subject of the Roman
Catholic church the pastor said that as a
church it had always been a. controlling
factor in politics. He showed how Pope
John VIII began the political work
of the church by degrading and humili-
ating Charles the Bald of France. He
said that it was the purpose OF the church
to spread broadcast and teach the people
the law and word of God, and that In this
the church performed its entire mission.

A QUEER SITUATION.
Alameda School Trustees Cannot De-
pose a Bigamist Member.

ALAMEDA, Jan. S.-The Board of Free
Library Trustees are short a member.
They do not know where to find him or
how to fill the vacancy caused by his long
and probably permanent absence.
When George S. Ames married a second
wife at Santa Rosa without going
through the formality of a legal sepa-
ration from his former spouse, he was a
member of the library board. He had
not attended the meetings very regularly,
but had done nothing to disqualify him.
Now all the world knows he is a flu
gitive and living in Mexico to escape
prosecution for bigamy, but the Library
Trustees have no official notification of
the fact. and are apparently powerless
to rid their records of his name or select
his successor. He did not resign his po-
sition before his hasty departure. ana that
is what leaves the board in it's present
predicament. There is much comment on
the Trustees lack of action in the mat
ter Ames left III September.
