STOCKTON, July 5.-The official board
of the First Christian Church has taken
no further action on the proposal Of some
of its number to force the negro members
to occupy certain pews only. Trustee
Miller declares he never had any desire
to force the negroes out of the church.
and that no harsh measures calculated to
wound the oversensitive feelings of Mrs.
Hall were proposed. Pastor Boyer feels
prominence and that the colored sisters
probably misinterpfeted Mr.. Miller's po-
sition. The pastor casually referred to
the trouble at recent gathering at the
church, and both Mrs. Hall and her
daughter insisted on making lengthy
speeches, in which they denied that they
had started the stories. It is noticeable
that since publicity was given to the mat
ter the colored sisters make themselves
very conspicuous in the audience.

Mr.. Ross. the woman's husband, Is In
dignant over the manner in which his
wife was dragged from bed to the prison
by detectives without warrant, and
also The rough and careless way in which
they searched the premises for evidence.
Attorney Monteith says that as soon as
the case against Mrs. Ross Is disposed of
he intends starting a vigorous crusade
against the detnue system.
This so-called small or detinue book,
he said, lis a high-handed outrage. It
would shame a Russian to be connected
with such nefarious scheme. The pO-
lice and the detectives have absolutely no
right 10 arrest anv person except in two
cases-where they catch them commit

The arrest Of Mrs. Annie Ross at 9
o'clock Tuesday morning and her sudden
release yesterday afternoon, after thirty
six hours confinement in the Illegal
tanks of the City Prison, was the sub
ject of considerable comment in and about
the Hall yesterday afternoon. and may
result in a searching investigation into
certain Siberian methods of the police.
Mrs. Ross was arrested in her room at
SO Mason street early Tuesday morning
by Detectives Crockett and Wren. The
officers had no warrant. but simply
showed their badges of authority and
took the woman into custody. explaining
that they expected to connect her with
several petty offenses. and she would be
detained until sufficient evidence could be
gathered to make a direct charge. The
woman's husband at once secured the ser
vices Of Attorney George W. MOntet1,
instructing him TO secure her release as
soon aspossible. Mr.. Monteith went to
the City Prison yesterday morning and
demanded permission to see his client. He
was at first refused, but a permit was
finally granted, with the proviso that a
detective be present during the interview
AS soon as Mr.. Monteith learned that
no charge had been placed against his
client he demanded her release or that a
charge should be placed against her. The
police refused TO take action either way,
and the attorney at once TOOK the IN

habeas corpus. Before the writ could is
