Rev. Father Superior Henry H. Wy
man, who said in part:
priest is a divinely appointed Intermediary
between God and mankind. The duties Of his
office are two-fold-one toward God, the other
toward mankind.
The character and power OF the priesthood
emanate from Jesus Christ. who was both God
and man and the one mediator by whom man
is reconciled to God.
BY the sacrament OF holy orders Jesus Christ
impaired to his apostles and their successors
for all time the power to offer himself upon
our affairs. Besides this power he also con-
ferred upon his priests the power Of reconciling
penitent sinners to God and the commission to
preach the gospel OF salvation.

BRINGS OUT CAR
LOAD OF BABIES
New York Asylum Finds
Homes for Fifty-Seven In
fantS in Texas and Arizona
TOTS HAVE GREAT TRIP
Made Much Of All Along the
Line, They Reach Their
Foster Parents in Safety

A carload of New York babies came
West last week as part Of the Southern
Pacifcs overland limited, which. after
distributing this novel cargo at points
on the main line, arrived here yester-
day morning.
There were fifty-seven little tots in
the party, ranging in age from one year
TO four They came out in charge OF
several sisters of charity and trained
nurses. All the youngsters were in
mates Of one of the great founding
asvlums IN New York City and the in
stituton's agents in the West had
found homes in which the little people
would be adopted and carefully reared
Eight Of the children were left at
Houston. Texas, and the remaining
forty-nine were brought as far as
Clifton, Ariz., where the Pullman car
in which they had travelled from New
York was dropped from the train and
The young folks were taken in hand
by good people of that neighborhoOd.
The journey out West was a great
event for the kids" The spectacle of
a car in which every window displayed
a group Of staring baby faces aroused
a vast deal of curiosity at all the sta
1ions and won for the young travellers
attentions often more generous than
5udicious. At every station where the
train ; stay was long enough the chill
dren were bundled out of the car for a
bit Of sunshine and fresh air. This
meant trouble for the nurses in round
ing up their charges when the conduc-
tor shouted ''All aboard" At night the
babies were put to bed in punches.

STAND FIRMLY
FOR OPEN SHOP
Members Of Butchers EX-
change Meet and Act on
an Important Question
TROUBLE MAY FOLLOW
Beginning To-Day Men VIII
Be Employed Regardless OF
Affiliation With Unions

The Butchers Exchange, an organl-
zation composed of proprietors of retail
butcher shops throughout the city, yes
terday afternoon declared positively for
the open shop" The new order goes
into effect this morning.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of considering the question of un-
ionism or non -unionism in the trade,
and is an outcome of the strike of the
sheep butchers at Butchertown. Any
man may work in a meat market with
or without a card-at least the owners
of the market say so. Just what action
the Journeymen Butchers Union may
take on the matter remains to be seen,
as not sufficient time has elapsed for
official notifica tion to be given that
body and action taken.
The wholesalers are working with the
retailers, and it is said that retailers
who will not abide by the open shop
decision will have difficulty in procur-
ing supplies from Baden and Butcher
town.
SO far as the employees are concerned
the action of the exchange Will not af-
feet them financially. The same work
ing hours will be observed and there
will be no alteration in the scale of
wages. The employers will simply re-
serve the right to hire and dlScharge
men at will, regardless of their connec-
tion with the union. AS a prominent
dealer expressed it last night, the men
working for me can belong to dozen
unions if they choose, or they need not
belong to any. All look for is their
competency. 1 think 1 stand in the
same position as all the owners of meat
markets in this city when l say that
will not discharge a man because he is
a member of a union, and | will not re-
fuse employment to competent man
because he is not a member. If they
choose TO pay their dues to the union
it is none of my affair"
If the union men object to the new
order a test case will be made in one
of the larger markets. In case the men
employed there walk out the doors of
all the butcher shops in the city will be
closed until a settlement is reached.

It is TO be regretted that Frenchmen and
but California Jared as well as could be eX-
pected under all the circumstances. Some of
your exhibitors were careless and the brands
they sent were not worthy of notice In fact
the great trouble out here is the lack of marked
individual brands made and kept up to A fixed
standard Time alone will remedy these evils
I look for marked improvement in the future
During my stay 1 shall visit your wine grow

BROWNS WHILE
FRIENDS LAUGH
w. P. GoIdie Loses His Life
in the Treacherous I'm
dertow at Ocean Beach
BODY NOT RECOVERED
Companions Realize Too Late
That He Is Not Playing a
Practical Joke ON Them

w. P. Goldie was drowned at the
Ocean Beach shortly after noon yes
terday. while his friends, who at first
thought he was playing a joke on them
but afterward realized that he was in
distress, were making frenzied efforts
to save him.
Goldie was an electrical engineer and
about q years of age. He came here
from. the East two years ago and for
several months has been staying at
The Johnston, OFarrell and Leaven-
worth streets. He was fond of outdoor
exercise and particularly of sea bath
ing. In company with r. c. Bossert
he left the hotel at abont IL o'clock yes
terday morning. The two went to the
beach and at a point about a mile be-
low the Cliff House disrobed and Joined
two other salt water enthusiasts.
Goldie was the most venturesOme of
the four and went out farther than the
others. Suddenly he threw up his
hands and began to call Justify for
help, saying he was drowning. His
companions thought at first that he
was only joking, but later, when they
noticed that he was rapidly drifting
farther from shore despite his efforts
to come in, they realized that some
thing was wrong and started to his as
sistance.
The men waded out until the water
was up to their necks, but found the
undertow so strong that they dared
not venture farther. At the same time
Goldie sank beneath the water with
last despairing cry and was seen no
more.
Word was sent to the life saving sta
ton, but the efforts of the crew that
went out were of no avail. Although
careful search was made along the
beach the swimmers body could not be
found.
The dead man was unmarried and
had no relatives in this city. At the
hotel where he made his home he was
very popular and many expressions of
regret at his untimely death were
heard last evening.

Andy Briggs Breaks Up Pa

Union and Is Sorry for 1t
ATTACKED BY MEMBERS
Women Passengers Are Ter
rOrized and Their Screams
for Help Save Situation

There was an inciDient riot at Sac
ramento and Kearny streets shortly be-
fore II o'clock yesterday morning and
Andy Briggs, a gripman on the Sac
ramento-street line, was for a time in
serious trouble.
The Fishermen's Union, to the num-
Der of about 500. held a parade yes
terday morning. While crossing Sac
ramento street at Kearny Briggs
drove his car through them and it was
said that two or three were knocked
aside. In an instant the car was
swarming with angry fishermen and a
combined attack was made upon
Briggs. He was struck on the face
and thrown down. The car was
crowded with shrieking women. One
woman ran to the rear of the car and
shouted Police, police! Help, MUIR
deri"
Policeman de Guire ran to the scene.
A large crowd had gathered and 1t was
some time before he could force his
way to the car. Meantime the mar
shal of the parade, followed by a dozen
members wearing badges, appeared
and fought the crowd back 1t all
happened in a minute or two, which
was fortunate for Briggs, as he was
being roughly handled. He was pulled
away from his aSSailantS and a space
was cleared, enabling him to start
the car, which went gliding down the
hill at a rattling speed, followed by a
number of the fishermen. They gave
up the chase when the car crossed
Montgomery street.
No arrests were made, as De Guire
was not able TO pick out the men who
assaulted Briggs. Threats were made
that Briggs conduct would be made a
subject for investigation by the Trades
and Labor Council, as he is a mem
ber of the Garments Union. He is an

ELECTRICAL DISPLAY is
MADE BY BROKEN WIRE
Hole Burned in the Asphalt at Wash
ingtOn and Kearny Streets, but
No One Injured.

There was an electrical display at
Washington and Kearny streets for
about half an hour yesterday. but no
one was injured. A car had started
down Washington street about noon,
when one OF the guide wires at the
corner was broken. One end dropped
to the track, the other rested on the
trolley wire and came in contact with
the rail. The wire on the track burned
brightly and made a hole in the
asphalt.
No one had the hardihood to at
tempt to disentangle the wires and
telephone message was sent to the car
house. Inspector H. H. Oellig came
and got on top of car. With pair
of nipperS he soon cut the wires. One
Of the pieces in falling hit the brake of
the car and there was report as if a
cannon had been fired. While Oellig
was working he was surrounded by
flashes of electricity and the front of
his coat was burned.

Howen Postpones His Trip.

Elmer E. Howell has made it a prac-
tice for five years to go fishing every
Sunday morning. In addition to the
sport he felt doubly delighted to know
that his landlady at 2161s Sixth street
benefited by the result of his Sunday
outing. Unfortunately Howell dropped
into a saloon on Sixth street yesterday
morning before starting out to fish.
While waiting for the amber-colored
goods to pass into a bootleg glass he
got into an alteration with a man,
who knocked him down. In falling
he struck his head against whisky
barrel, in1iicting a deep cash which
was closed by DIR. Herzog at the
Emergency Hospital. Howelrs skull
is possibly fractured. He was put to
bed in the hospital to await develop
ments.
