ASSOCIATION OF
BAPTISTS FAVOR
CHURCH TAXATION
Do Not Believe in ANY
Discrimination.

Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that all property held
by all denominations as church es-
tates is subject to taxation the same
as property held for secular purposes
in this State.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway, Oct. 5.
In view &C the campaign which will be
waged year hence over the adoption OF
constitutional amendment g. introduced
in the last Legislature by AssemblyInau
Mcdonald, the foregoing resolution,
adopted at to-day's session of the nine
teenth annual conference Of the Central
Baptist Association of California, is of
deep significance. The association is
made up Of the clergy OF the Baptist
churches In San Francisco, Alameda,
Marin, Contra Costa and Solano counties,
and through it the resolution quoted goes
on record as opposed to the proposed con-
stitutional amendment.
To-day'G action was not without some
opposition, for fifty delegates refused to
vote either way, while there was but
majority Or six to carry the resolution
But this was wholly due to some mis-
understanding. There were three propo-
sitiOns before the association, and in the
confusion incident TO the discussion some
Of the members lost sight of what propo-
sition was being put first. This is given
as the reason for some Of the delegates
refusing 10 vote. 1t had been recon-
mended IN one Of the propositions that
the conference members give their active
support . the amendment in 1902, but in
the confusion Dr. w. o. Baldwin of Ala
media offered as substitute the Fesolu
ton finally adopted. In explaining his
resolution Dr. Baldwin said:
This country is free 70 all. Ecclesiastical de-
nominations as corporations are a level
with other corporations 50 far as taxation Of
property IS concerned We would do well not
70 import the ecclesiastical exemptions from
which other States trying TO rid Them
selves We are fearful Of some unscrupulous
people taking advantage OF this exemption to
do a little speculatng in the real estate mar
ket. Altogether too much property will escape
taxation and it viii do the State no good.
Next years conference will be held in
Alameda. Rev. E B. Bennett of the
Twenty -tnird-avenue Baptist Church will
deliver thu annual sermon on that oc-
CasiOn, alternate Rev. c. s. Keetch, and
Rev. c. II. Hobart will preach the
doctrinal sermon. The association
treasurer reports deficit Of $40
Early this evening the conference ad-
jourued, and the remaining hours were
given over to the Baptist Young Peoples
Union, which elected the following officers
for the ensuing year: President. R. II. &.

horn; secretary, Miss Hattie Bromley;
treasurer, Air. Rowe; managers, Henry

There was to have been a meeting
last night of the Council sitting
as a committee of the whole
There was no meeting, and many
are the explanations being given for its
failure to come off The chief matter to
have been discussed was the bond issue.
This matter has already received some
attention from members of the Council,
has been handled in extenso by the i'm
provement clubs, and there is also on rec
the best time at which to call the cleo
ton.
The Council believes that it is its sole
prerogative to arrange this important
matter Some of the members think the
Mayor should have a hand in the arrange
ment others believe he should keep his
hands off Last night it was understood
that the Mayor would be present. In
stantly all kinds of excuses were made
why a committee meeting should not be
held President Rowe saw plainly there
would not be a quorum, so it was decided
not to waste the time of the few who
would attend.
This attitude gives rise to the presump-
ton that at some time in the near future
there will be another quiet little banquet
somewhere, at which the whole matter
will be fixed up, so that when the Council
meets to take action on the bond question
the expectant lobby and the curious mi
nurity will suddenly discover that the
whole matter has been adjusted without
their aid.

LAST NIGHTS OF THE FAIR.

There are but two days more in which
to enjoy the fine exhibits, the Fill
pino village, the clever performers in the
Filipino circus and the various attractions
of the Mechanics Fair. Yesterday and
last night the visitors were largely from
out of town, and the exhibitors in con-
sequence reaped large benefits from or
ders for goods.
A great deal of interest is exhibited in
the magnificent collection of drawings
and plans of the proposed buildings 2f the
University of California, which are shown
in the balcony along the wall These are
loaned to the fair through the kindness of
Mrs. Hearst. and this is the last opportu-
nifty for public inspection, as they will
shortly be sent to the Paris Exposition
The management of the fair has decided
to dispose of the collection in the Filipino
village, and this has brought a number
of lovers of curiQs and relics to the fair.
Tonight several thousand Odd Fellows
will be present and there will be special
drill by the Patriarchs Militant and the
Drill Corps of the Daughters of Rebekah
Tonight and tomorrow night Irene Pal
mer, very clever 10-year-old girl, will
give few selections on the concert grand
piano on the stage in the main hall Little
Irene Goudy, 312 years old, will dance the
fan dance tonight. The voting contest
on the new voting machine also begins to-

he LOOKED FOR A GAS
LEAK WITH A CANDLE
As a Consequence Captain Lutjen Is
Painfully Burned and Minus
His Hair

ALAMEDA, Oct 5.-An explosion of gas
that had accumulated in the basement
came near wrecking the residence Of Cap
tain Lutjen, at III San Antonio avenue,
this evening. The Lutjens moved into the
house but a few days ago, coming here
from San Francisco, where they resided at
1929 Nineteenth street. A plumber had
been at work during the afternoon con-
Meeting a gas stove and went away leav-
ing a pipe in the basement unplugged.
The gas escaping from the pipe soon filled
the basement under the kitchen with gas.
Mrs. Lutjen, detecting the odOr of gas,
called the matter to the attention Of her
husband and he sought to ascertain the
whereabouts of the leak. He took a
lighted candle with him and just as he
entered the basement door there was a
terrific explosion that knocked him off his
feet and nearly wrecked the house. The
kitchen received the brunt of the shock
and is almost a complete wreck. A table
that stood IN one corner of the room was
thrown several feet and the plaster was
blown from the rooms upstairs.
Mrs. Lutjen, her sister and an infant
were standing In the kitchen at the time
Of the explosion but outside of a severe
shaking up they escaped unlnjured. Mr.
Lutjen, however, did not fare so we'll
He was badly burned about the face and
hands and the hair was nearly all burned
off his head. Captain Lutjen is a retired
seafaring man and purchased the house
where the explosion occurred a few
months ago, intending to settle here.

WALLING IN THE PARK.
Extensive improvements on the
North Side of the Peoples
Pleasure Grounds.

The north side of Golden Gate Park is
receiving the attention of the Park Com
missioners in a manner pleasing to the
residents of the Richmond district Here
tofore this side of the peoples pleasure
grounds had been somewhat neglected III
favor of the south side, into which the
bulk of travel had been directed by reason
of so many street cars terminating on that
side. The present Park Commissioners
have now favored the north side by build
ing three-foot stone wall along the line
of the Park grounds. The wall was com
menced at Fell and Stanyan streets and
extended to Fulton, along which street it
is being continued. and is now nearly fin
ished as far as First avenue. Another
benehcla, Improvement added to the north
side is the opening of driveway into the
park at First avenue. This opening into
the rark at this particular place is one of
the few favors asked by the Point Lobos
Improvement Club from the Park Com
missioners, and one that has been cheer
fully accorded by that progressive body.
The bad condition of Fulton street. from
Stanyan to Ninth avenue, is one of the
complaints of the Richmond residents
The property owners on the north SIDE
along the line of the old racecourse have
paved their half and in turn they urge
the Supervisors TO do likewise with the
city's half, which runs along the northern
boundary of the Golden Gate Park

first requisite Is membership in the asso-
citation The general membership fee en-
titles the member to all the privileges of
the association, but for the school il has

fee in addition for the expenses of in
struction. The fee is not a large one,
however, and it is payable over five Of
the six months of the school term. In

citation in order to join the school. HIS
