HIGHER LICENSE

Minister Says Sentiment
Has Been Aroused Over
Rejection of Petition
SCORES COMMISSIONERS
Methodists Act on Matter
of Introducing the Bible
in the Public Schools

Higher License" was the subject
before the Methodist Ministers Asso-
citation yesterday morning. DIR. Fran
els NJ. Larkin reported the action of
the Election Commissioners on the re-
lection of the petition for an amend
ment to the ordinance favoring higher
license. He explained that the sig
natures were transcribed by type
writer's and names had been mis-
spelled, yet the Registrars clerks were
rot permitted to consult the original
signatures. He complained that the
Civic League was not allowed to in
vestigate into the matter of rejected
names, although the Brewers Asso-
citation was permitted to have a spe-
cialist on handwriting and he worked
two days.
L. Nj. Hartley spoke as to future ac-
ton. Ten thousand five hundred citi-
zens, he said, had petitioned for an
amendment TO the ordinance. The
Election Commissioners were asked to
obey the charter. but had refused to
place the amendment on the ballot
under the pretense that there were
signatures that were not bona fide.
DIR. Hartley continued by saying that
he had gained two great points. The
citizenship of the city had been
aroused. and the sentiment of the peo-
pie had been stirred, and the liquor
craft had shown that it feared to have
the question submitted to the people.
Bible teaching in the public school
was a matter discussed by the asso-
citation following an address by the
Rev. ]. H. n. Williams on The Bible
as Literature"
1t was said that the National Edu-
cational Association passed a resolu-
ton at its last meeting. held in st.
Louis, favoring the introduction of the
Bible in all public schools as a book
of religious instruction.
DIR. E. r. Ollie approved of the
movement and said that the principal
of Oakland High School was in favor
of including the Bible in the course
of study as literature and historic
value.
The Rev. Mr.. Williams held that
they were more apt to meet with sue
cess in the project of introducing the
Bible in the public schools if it should
be taught as a classic. The Junior
Order of American Mechanics. he said.
stands for the Bible In the public
school.
DIR. F. D. Bovard said that the pub
lie school must have a solid ethical
basis, and that the Bible is the only
true source of enlightenment and free
conscience. He said that the public
school is now between the alternative
of receiving religious instruction from
the open scriptures or from hier-
archy. The question, he said, was
vital to the permanency of the public
school.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to cooperate with a like COM
mittee of other denominations to con-
slider the question of the maintenance
of the Bible in the public schools: DIR.

RESTAURATEUR
SUED BY WIFE
Proprietor of Pup Rotis-
serie" Is Charged With
Many Acts of Cruelty
PROFITS OF BUSINESS
Mrs. LOupy Demands $1OO
a Month From Earnings.
Other Divorce Matters

Twenty years Of married life is to
have a sensational ending for Lucy
and Jean Loupy, if the wife succeeds in
proving her accusations against the
proprietor of the Pup Rotisserie" and
incidentally the character Of one of
San Francisco's most famous eating
places will be barred TO the public.
Mrs. Loupy's complaint recites that
she married the restaurant man on
September 29, 1884; that since then they
have acquired as community property
an undivided half interest in the Pup
Rotisserie, on Stockton street. The
business and it's equipment are said to
be worth $4,000 and the net income to
be $4,000 a month, of which the Loupys
are entitled to one-half.
Cruelty is the basis of the complaint.
Mrs. Loupy asks for $1OO a month ali
mony, $3.50 counsel fees and $50 costs
and an injunction to prevent him from
disposing of the property.
Lille Telles, on a cross complaint
charging cruelty, yesterday obtained
divorce from Charles A. Telles in Judge
Graham's court. Telles had charged
his wife with cruelty, but the evidence
showed that he was the aggressor in
their frequent family fights.
Judge Hebbard set aside the divorce
granted two years ago to John P.
Clark from Agnes X. Clark. a telegram
from Clark at Wallace, Idaho, saying
that he was willing to let the motion
to set aside go by default. The Clarks
were married for thirty years, and the
wife did not know she had been di-
Vorced until informed a few months
ago by the War Department, to whom
she applied for her husbands pension.
She then charged that the decree had
been secured by fraud.
Divorces were granted by Judge Heb
bard to John l.. Robinson from Minnie
Robinson for desertion, and by Judge
Sloss to Mary Ellingsen from Peter
Ellingsen for neglect and desertion.
Suits for divorce were filed by Lulu

PROPOSED STOCK ISSUE
CAUSES SLUMP IN MARKET
Drop Heavily Pending Proposed
Move by Directors

The stock of the Alaska Packers
Association had a heavy slump in the
stock market yesterday. Last July
the stock fell to 1921 so, which was
something like $40 a share off in a
few months. Yesterday the price
dropped to $104. Last Saturday the
price was $117. The association has
paid dividends for many years. The
break some months ago was the re-
suit of statement of heavy indebted
ness The present downward tendency
is supposed to be due TO the intention
of the directors to issue 1000 shares
of treasury stock and to the knowl-
edge of that intention that has been
made public in the daily papers. The
capital stock of the association is
$4,S0O,0 900 in $4,000 shares On the
stock SOS a share has been paid, max
ing the total paid up capital $3,120,-

constant strain of the campaign, he
soon warmed up and was able to hll
the spacious Sampson tobacco ware
house which was filled to OVerfloWing,
so that all were able to hear with
ease. His speech was such only as
the Governor can deliver and was
well received. He justified his admin
istration and refuted every charge OF
extravaganza brought by the Repub-
Iicans, incidentally paying his respects
to the mal-administration of Russell
and his gang.
His arraignment of Roosevelt and
his negro policy had telling effect, and
it is believed that many of the Repub-
licans present were converted from
the error of their way. He predicted
the election of the State ticket by
seventy-fve thousand majority.
After the speaking dinner was
served and there was an abundance

admission.
Much of the address was a purely
local interest Mr.. Watson devoted a
part of two hours to the manager and
editor of the Chronicle. before he got
down to national issues. He declared
that he was opposed to President
Roosevelt and would like to "crush out
his political life," but everyone must
concede that Roosevelt "as a man
straddlin~ nothing but the war horse,
while Parker straddled everything ex-
| cept that steed, not daring to take a
| firm stand even on the race question.
