METHODISTS FAVOR THE
FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT
California Conference Will Require
One More Day to Complete It's
Work

PACIFIC GROVE, Sept. lit was sup
posed until late this afternoon that the
forty-seventh California annual confer
ence would adjourn to-day, but press of
business proved too great and the con-
ference will not adjourn until tomorrow
The day was largely occupied with COM
mittee reports, but three matters of i'm
portance were presented. The first related
to the proposed fourteenth amendment 70
the State constitution exempting churches
from taxation. DR.. e. d. Bovard was ap-
pointed field secretary to represent the
California conference in carrying on
campaign for the passage of this amend
ment.
The special committee of inquiry into
the case of w. ID. Crabb reported that eX-
tenuating circumstances warranted the
recommendation of the passing of his
character by the conference and the re-
port was adopted.
DR.. L. S. Chapman State superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon League, addressed
the conference on his work and in the
course Of his remarks caused quite sem
sation by declaring that President McKin-
ley violates his oath of office in refusing to
exercise his authority as commander-in-
chief to abolish the army canteen.
The following Epworth League State
officers were elected at the evening ses-
sion: Rev. NJ. H. Alexander, president;
t. 3. Hutchinson, l.. l.. bennett George

CALL HERALDSERYICE
These Journals Have Secured the
Exclusive Privilege Of the Mar
conf System for the Event.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1l-With their
accustomed enterprise, the New York
Herald and San Francisco Call, ever
quick to make use of the latest deve-
opments of science, have made arrange
ments by which the progress of the
races. between the Columbia and Sham
rock will be reported by utilizing the
Marconi system of wireless telegraphy.
Recent experiments in Europe have
demonstrated that it is quite possible
to accurately and rapidly communi-
cate between distant points. The first
experiments attracting worldwide at
tention We're conducted in the spring
of the present year, when messag ges,
sent from Folkstone, in the south of
England, We're received al Boulogne. on
the French coast. The experiments
We're eminently successful, and imme-
diately the Herald and Call, foreseeing
the great advantage to be obtained by
use of this system during the yacht
races, entered into negotiations with
the Wireless Telegraph Company of
London, which controls Signor Mar
coni's patent. AS a result the Herald
and Call have secured exclusive rights
of the Marconi system for the yacht
races.
Signor Marconi. with four trained
assistants, sail from Liverpool to-day
on the Cunard steamer Urania with
all necessary instruments for use in
reporting the races. The work will be
done under the personal supervision of
A1arconi himself, and his assistants are
the same who have been engaged in the
rt.lr Gil nf
across the British Channel during the
last SIX months.
The transmitting instruments will be
placed upon the large ocean-gOing
Plant line steamer Grand Duchess, up
on the upper deck of which a tall pole
extending sixty feet in the air above
the water line viii be placed. Signor
Marconi and two Of his assistants will
be on this vessel and q running account
of The race will be Jelegraphed. on
boad the cable ship anchored near
SEQ and Light d similar pole viii be
erected and here two expert operators
viii be StatiOned to receive the message
after it has flown through the air from
the swift moving Grand Duchess.
From the cable ship a message will be
flashed by means of submarine and
land wires direct to the Herald office,
thence to The Call.
Some idea of the great possibilities
of the M&rConl system was OBTAINED
during the recent British naval ma
neuVers wnen messages We're received
and transmitted between scouting
cruisers and the flagship over a dis
tanCe of more than forty miles. This
was even more remarkable in its way
than the sending of messages between
New Haven and Dieppe, a distance of
almost eighty miles, as in the first place
both receiver and transmitters were on
swift moving ships at the time COM
municatiOn was established.

SIMON CHRISTENSEN
PROBABLY MURDERED
Body Lay in an Unnatural Position
and Money and Valuables Were
MiSSinC

Los ANGELES, Sept. u.-Evidence is
accommodating that Simon Christensen,
whose mutilated body was found on the
Southern Pacific's tracks Saturday night,
was murdered and the body placed on
the rails by unknown parties to hide the
crime. When the engineer saw the body
the head was on one rail and the feet on
the opposite one, the entire person being
stretched into an unnatural attitude.
The pockets of the clothing were turned
inside out and the money and valuables
were missing.
Christensen was teamster in the en-
ploy of C. Leonhardt of Santa Barbara,
who came to Los Angeles at regular in
tervals to visit a Miss Hansen. De-
ceased stopped at the Miller House as
rule. He was a member of the Odd Eel
lows and his lodge has telegraphed to
have the body properly buried.

HONGKONG, Sept. 1.-THE United
States transport Tartar has arrived here
from Manila carrying soldiers to San
Francisco to be discharged. The men
complain bitterly of their treatment
aboard the ship. They allege gross over
crowding. there being more than 1900
soldiers on board, when, they assert,
there are accommodations for only $50.
They complain also of the ships filthy
condition in consequence of overcrowding.
1t is asserted by the men that the food
is insufficient in quantity and lacks Va
riety. The heat is excessive and men pre-
fer to lie in unfrequented roadways rather
than on the transport
The conduct of the American soldiers
ashore has been excellent, winning high
est praise Soldiers are fraternizinS
freely and officers are being privately en-
tertained.
WASHINGTON. Sept. u,-No informa-
tion has been received a the War Depart
ment respecting the charges of i'll treat
ment and crowding made by returning
soldiers on the transport Tartar, now at
Hongkong. Lieutenant Charles Bird,
who has charge of transportation under
direction of Quartermaster General Lud-
ington, said the Tartar had hitherto taken
out practically the same number of men
she now has on board, and complaint of
pvercrowding had never been received
On ner last Trip from odH IdIISlSco "
Manila the Tartar carried forty-1ve Off
GERS and 1156 enlisted men. General Otis
loaded the ship with forty-five officers
and 1903 men belonging to the Kansas reg
iment and general service. all of whom
are returning to San Francisco for dis
charge.
When the steamer was bought the de-
partment was advised that she could COM
fortably accommodate more than 1890 men
and the officials say they have always
been careful TO be well within this figure
If food is lacking In quantity or quality
department officials say the commissary
on board is responsible and he will be
called to account when the vessel reaches
San Francisco, providing the allegations
are subStantiated.

David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,
free trial bottles of this great medicine
for the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder and
Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia and

from any of the diseases mentioned
above who will send their full name

A very simple test to determine
whether your Kidneys or Bladder are
diseased is TO put some of your urine in
a glass tumbler and let it stand q
hours, if it has a sediment or a cloudy,
ropy or stringy appearance, if it is pale
or discolored, you do hot need a physi-
clan to tell you that you are in a dan
gerous condition. DrI David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy speedily cures such
serious symptoms as a pain in the back,
inability to hold urine, a burning scald-
ing pain in passing il. Frequent desire
to urinate especially at night, the stain
ing of linen by your urine and all un-
pleasant and dangerous effects produced
on the system by the use of whiskey
and beer.
BY a searching Investigation it was
found hat over 81 pet cent of the people
who sent for a sample bottle were SO
much benefited by its use that they
purchased a large sized bottle of their
druggist, which in most cases cured
them, while in some rare instances it
took as many as two DR. even three bot
ties to effect a permanent cure.
DR.. David Kennedy'h Favorite REM
edy is sold by all druggists at S1.00 per
