MEN IN SHOPS
COMPLIMENTED
Divine Sees Intelligence
in Faces of ALI Railroad
Employees at Sacramento

Socialistfc tendencies as found among
the working classes and thescondition
of the less fortunate of the land were
some of the problems considered by the
Rev. H. C. Morrison, the noted Ken
lucky minister and evangelist, before
a large body of Methodist preachers at
their weekly meeting yesterday. The
speaker considered the subject with
great earnestness and laid particular
stress upon what he called the neees-
sity for the church to come into close
touch with the "unchurched.'
He described the men he had found
in the railroad shops at Sacramento,
saying that he had not encountered a
weak, stupid or uninteresting face
among them. Every man. he said,
looked serious and Intelligent, many
having heads and faces that would be
credit to United States Senators. BY
way Of parenthesis, he hoped that their
morals were better than some United
States Senators. He said that the
great mass of workingmen think seri-
ously, and need only stalwart. con-
scientious men to direct them rightly.
When they saw millionaires planning
to corner meat, and on the other hand
saw a starving woman singing lul-
laby to a baby and unable to buy a
STEAK IOT lHSlI OWN SQSICHdHCG TO en-
able her to nourish the infant, they felt
the necessity of doing something to
counteract such evils. The greed of
men having more money than they
could count and still eager to make
more was sure to make the strong,
burly will of the masses rise in rebel
lion.
Mr.. Morrison felt that the clergy
should preach in the shops and get IN
Il
sarily to abuse the classes. To reach
the masses they should resort to the
newspapers. to pamphlets, advertising
and even brass bands. There are men,
he said, of Socialistic tendencies who
are drifting toward anarchy, but if
reached their influence could be turned
to the building up of society.
Among the practical needs of to-day
was the regulation of transportation
companies. Men, women and children,
he said. were suffering for fruit There
were children who never had a whole
orange, while oranges were left to rot
on the ground in California because of
the exorbitant railway tolls.

ELIZABETH. n. j., Feb. 6.-The

Church last evening listened TO va
quaint discourse by its pastor, Hev.
Arthur II. Grant, on preamland. or
visit to He'll Mr.. Grant said:
Il was met on my arrival by an old

Satan The place contained many
monuments dedicated TO men and Wo-
men of this earth. One monument
was of a woman and child. with fig
ures emblematic of law and Justice
This was dedicated 10 a lawyer called
William Cady, who started to devote
his life to the care OF the poor ana
the oppressed and to accord them JUS
tice. On the reverse side OF the 9nonu-
ment an inscription said: he Iouno
that the corporations paid better tnan
the widows and orphans, SO ne became
an oppressor of the poor.
AN imposing monument was like
mausoleum with four figures, three OF
which were Industry, Justice and Love.
The name on it was James FenWlck-

man. however, spent his life sitting on
a barrel in a crossroads store, whit
ting, and was buried in paupers
grave.
There was no monument to Wash
ington or Lincoln, but particularly
fine lot dedicated to politicians. The
Inscriptions were nearly all alike

Most High pleads against men for their

court visit the barn. Judge Prewett at
once acted upon this suggestion and
ordered the jury, the attorneys con-
cerned, the prisoner, Sheriff, Coroner
and Court Stenographer Adams to at
once proceed to the scene of the trag-
edy. Following the advice of the
court, it was decided to go over the
exact route which Adolph Weber swore
before the Coroner's jury he had taken
on the night Of the murder
Shortly before O'Clock, headed by
Judge Prewett himself, the party left
the courthouse. Immediately behind
the Judge came the twelve jurors.
With them was Attorney Fred P. Tut
tie, who described the different places
along the route. Behind the Jurors
came the other attorneys interested.
Adolph Weber, in the custody of I'm
Keena and Coroner Shepard came next
walking side by side. In the wake of
the officers and prisoner were promi-
nent men of the town and many others.
SOLEMN PROCESSION.
As the solemn procession passed out
of the courthouse down the hill to Main
street, where they went to view Co
hens store, crowds of people rushed to
windows and sidewalks to see what
was going on. The news spread like
wildfire that Adolph was in the streets
Of the city once more, and from all
points people came to take a look at
him. He was the cynosure of allkeyes.
Business in the town was temporarily
suspended as the procession passed
quietly on it's way through the tewn
Leaving the main portion of the town
the party slowly passed up Brewery
lane, past the brewery and then up to
the ruins Of the Weber home. They
were led by Attorney Tuttle about the
ruins. He pointed out to them the diff
ferent points where the bodies of the
Weber family were found.
The scene was a solemn one Stand
ing back and away from the visiting
party were the sisters and nieces of the
murdered woman. They were dressed
in deep black and stood with heads
bowed.
The day was still and calm and only
the voice of Attorney TuttIe, who was
explaining the situation, broke the ST.
lence. After viewing the ruins the
court passed slowly and silently down
the hill and over the grassy sward to
the Weber barn, where the bloody pis-
tol was found and where the $500 In
gold was also discovered From there
they proceeded to the Henney house,
and then across to College lane and
back to the courthouse. They had COW
cred the exact route that Adolph Weber
stated he had run over on the night of
the tragedy.
DOCTOR AS WITNESS.
1t was 4:30 o'clock when the court
house was again reached. John Davis,
the builder of the Weber house, was
then called to the stand to. give testi-
