CHARGES FAIL
At CONFERENCE
Heresy Allegations Against
Professor Jordan Bovine
Dismissed by Clergymen
CLOSE OF A NOTED CASE
Specifications Not Substan-
tiated and Acquittal Rec
Ommendation Is Approved

NEW YORK, April SIN the New
York East Conference of the MethO-
dist Episcopal church to-day the COM
mittee to which had been referred the
charges of heresy against Professor
Jordan P. Bovine Of Boston Univer-
sity reported that they had found that
none of the five specifications in the
charge had been substantiated and
that they had therefore acquitted him.
This closed the case, as the action OF
the committee was final
Shortly after the report of the COM
mittee was read the Rev. c. S. Wing,
presiding elder Of the Brooklyn North
District, announced that new charges
of different nature had been lodged
with him by the Rev Mr.. Cooke
against Professor Bovine. These accu-
sations were three in number and IN
substance were as follows:
First, that he was guilty of writing
libelous articles in the Zion Herald IN
1899 These articles editOrially attacked
Edwin s. Schell, d. D.. general secre-
tary Of the Epworth League, and
caused a suit for libel to be instituted
against Charles Parkhurst, the editor.
Dr. ScheH received verdict of $4,000.
and Parkhurst appealed. alleging that
he did not write the article complained
of. The case is in the Massachusetts
courts.
Second, that he was guilty Of max
ing statements to- reporters of the Bos-
ton papers defaming the character OF
others when talking about the case just
decided.
Third, that he had stirred dissension
in the church. Writing in the Metho-
dist Review of May. 1898, on Ethical
Legislation in the Church" he critt-
cized the methods of some of the clergy
as "fussy."
The charges were placed in the hands
of a committee. which subsequently
recommended that they be not cOnsid-
cred, and the recommendation was
adopted by the conference

the passenger trade between here and
Vallejo in opposition to the Hatch
Bros General Frisbie promises a sea-
son of exciting races. The General
Frisbie, UP to this time, has held the
speed record against everything of her
class. The Corcoran promises TO lower
the Frisbie's pennant and as Captain
Hatch is a fighter the San Francisco
Vallejo water service will probably at
tract considerable attention from now
on.
The Corcoran will begin making reg
ular trips to-day. She made one trip
yesterday. The Corcoran and General
Frisbie left Vallejo together and the
Corcoran's passengers were going
ashore at Washington street when the
F'risbie steamed past the end of the

OIL WELLS OF STATE
MAKE A GREAT SHOWING
Total Product for One Year OficiaIly
Reported to Exceed 23,OOO,OOO
Barrels of Petroleum.

Secretary c. T. Deane of the Cali
fornia Petroleum Miners Association
has prepared statistics showing the
standing of the petroleum industry in
California during the year 1903 and
supplying facts concerning the output
of the several sections that made up
a large output According TO this
statement California produced 23.-
602, 900 barrels of petroleum and at
the end of the year there were in Op-
Grafton 2914 wells.
The largest production was in the
Kern River district, which yielded
1850, 900 barrels in twelve months.
The next district in point of produc-
ton was Coalinga, which made a rec
ord of 100000 barrels. Santa Maria
is credited with 1000, 900 barrels, Los
Angeles with 900, 900, McKittrick with
100000. NewhaIl and Ventura with
900 900, Fullerton with 100000, Whit
tier with 1000, the Sunset and Mid
way produced 25O.OOO barrels jointly:
Summerland. where the oil is taken
out from under the ocean, yielded
lee, 900 barrels. Halfmoon Bay and
Sargents are each credited with pro-
ducing 1000 barrels in the year.
Notwithstanding the great lead in
output that the Kern River district
had, it will be noticed that it had many
less wells producing than Los Angeles.
Kern River operated but $50 wells, as
against 9S4 in Los Angeles, 325 in
Newhall and Ventura, lis at Coalinga,
13S at Fullerton, so at Puente, 1O3 at
Whittier, 40 at Summerland, "a at
Santa Maria, rs at McKittrick, 120
at Sunset and Midway. 4 at Sargents
and at Halfmoon Bay.

THAT OLEOMARGARiNe DECISION.

One of the most serious aspects OF
the decision of the Supreme Court in
the OlcOmargarine case Is the proba.
bility that 1t may result In throwing
thousands of persons out of employ
ment in this city. The production of
oleomargarine by Chicago firms al.
ready had fallen from 12O.W $500
pounds in 1902 To 30.OOO.OOO. william
j. Monkey. one of the largest maiiu.
fncturers of oleomargarinc In the Unit.
ed States. has seen II business of
o.OO.OOO pounds u month reduced. I'M
der adverse legislation to 25ONW
pounds month. and where 1900 men
We're employed two years ago scarcely
300 now have enough work to do.
From IL production of 2UO0,00O pounds
n month the output of oleomargarine
by Swift n Co. Is reduced to SOD.WO.
The same may he said in more or
less degree respecting the other big
"oleo" manufacturing firms In this
city.
The throwing Of thousands of work.
lngmen ont Of employment at this
time. when there are already lO.OtW
men walking the streets out of work,
Is indeed II serious proposition for this
| city To face, ana 1t Is to be hoped that
some means may be available to avoid
such Il calamity to SO many bread win
ners.
There is still one hope left to the
m n m fn at hn nd hat IL
that they will secure n favorable rul.
ing In another case In which they con
tend that palm oil as vegetable prod
net Is permissible ingredient of cleo
margarine. In common with all who
have the welfare of Chicago at heart
| The Eagle trusts the manufacturers

useful industry will not be crushed

Resides. il is question whether or

average citizen. who is more interest.

shape of transportation than in any
other feature of the question mt issue.
IL would seem that the right thing to
do mt this stage of the game is tn come
to some compromise agreement which

While oil this subject we desire to
say that the attitude of the Chicago
City Hallway Company has beer
throughout this long drawn out dis
cussiou and litigation an admirabl,
one. Its lawyers have been upheld n

| ton from first to last has been proven

NEW CRY CHARTER.

Chicngoans of all walks in life are
deeply interested in the agitation now
being carried on for Il new charter for
the city.
That il means much for the people
Of this city is universally acknowl-
edged. This city has outgrown its, or.
iginal charter. which. while probably
good enough for Il city of 100000. is
utterly inadequate to meet the require.
mcnts of Il city of 2,VOOWO.
As evidence of the Importance with
which this proposition Is now regarded
in Chicago. 1t may br mentioned that
the Real Estate Board at its regular
monthly meeting appropriated Sl.WOto-
ward the campaign fund to further the
project. The appropriation represents
| one.iifth of the total income of the
board from dues. and the opinion was
| expressed that If the other civic organ
izations In the city contributed rs liber.
ally an ample fund could easily he
raised.
The action of the board followed a
re-, commentator of the directors and
| the committee on constitutional amend.
mcnts. a communication also was
read from John VI. Clark. chairman of
| the Executive Committee of the new
charter convention. asking the cooper.
alton of the real estate men. The com.
mittee In its report expressed the opin
ion that a general campaign fund of a,
least SjO.OW should he raised.
The action of the Real Estate Board
Is a generous and public spirited one
and The Eagle trusts it will he fol
lowed by the other civic organization,
throughout the city.

THE EVERLASTING TRACTION
QUESTION.

The Federal court decision in the
question very far from the position in
which ii stood when the discussion
first began. The Eagle has always
held that there must be compromise
and mutual concession on the side
both of III" city and the railway com.
panlcs before this problem could he
solved The decision OF the Federal
court holds that the ninety year
act, passed In 1853, holds good as to
what are known aS the trunk lines,
hut not ~ To the branch or cross lines
or feeders.
When the decision was first made
public 1t was accompanied by much
Jubilation oh the part of th" opponents
