PRAISES THE NUNS
AND FATHERS.
Archbishop Montgom-
cry Speaks of Their
Service After the Fire

In Jefferson Square last night Arch
bishop Montgomery and Father Will
liam Sullivan officiated at the celebra-
tion of The Feast of the Assumption
of the Blessed Virgin" The services
consisted of the rosary. litany, sermon
and benediction. In his sermon, Arch
bishop Montgomery said:
Il am very proud of the priests and
the nuns of San Francisco, who from
the day of the disaster followed the
refugees into the camps and remained
with them and encouraged them and
sympathized with them 1 am also
proud of the refugees and I congratu-
late them on the general spirit of pa
thence and the courage manifested.
Doubtless there has been suffering,
but that suffering has been mitigated
as far as the generosity Of a great
people could mitigate it,
Speaking on his theme Devotion to
the Blessed Virgin, What It Is and the
Reason for It. his Grace said
The devotion is one of honor and
reverence and the reason is her neces-
sary relation to the incarnation of our
Lord. We cannot even think of the in
carnation, we cannot even pronounce
the name of Jesus Christ without
thinking of the Blessed Virgin and no
man can fully understand the incarna-
tion unless he understands her place
in the Catholic church. One of the
reasons, TO my mind, why so many
Christian people have lost their hold
upon the great contral truth of Chris
tianity, namely the incarnation of
Christ, is that they have for some rea-
son or other, separated the Blessed
Virgin from her place in the plan of
redemption"

PHYSICIANS AGREE
As To 5TEARNs.
Three Army Surgeons
Certify That He Was
Disabled by an Injury
TRIED FOR FAKING

Four doctors, and army doctors at
that agreeing in their diagnosis OF the
physical condition of Howard Stearns
at different times were the trump cards
played by the defense yesterday at
Stearns' preliminary examination be-
fore United States Commissioner Hea-
cock. Stearns had been arrested on
complaint of Special Pension Examiner
0. L. Sues, who accused him OF having
presented a fraudulent app.-cation for
pension. 1t was charged by Assist
ant United States Attorney Ben L. Nc
kinley that Stearns had received an
injury to his spine in Schenectady ten
years ago that had been pronounced in
durable by a physician; that, in some
occult way, Stearns few years later,
succeeded in passing an examination
for enlistment before regular army
surgeon who failed to discover that
Stearns was afflicted with any malady,
and that Stearns could at VIII simulate
curvature of the spine SO well as to
deceive the most experienced surgeons.
Stearns, in answer to the questions
of William B. Beaizley, one of his at
torneys. said that the original injury
had been cured before he applied for
enlistment and that the fact that he
passed the medical examination was
proof of that statement. he said that
the injury which at present fncapaci-
tated him from hard physical labor had
been brought about while playing an
official game of baseball on May 8, 1904,
at the Benicia Barracks, when he was
soldier in the United States Signal
Corps. He showed also that before ne
filed his application for pension he
was examined by board of three
army surgeons in Oakland, who signed
his application and certified to the ma
ture of his injury.
The case will be submitted this aft
ernoon.

GAMBLING To STOP
SOON IN SIAN.
Emperor by a Gradual
Process Puts on the
Lid in His Country

The Emperor of Siam decided a few
years ago to stop gambling there
According to Rev. T. l. Snyder, Pres
byterian missionary, who arrived on
Monday on the liner Hongkong Maru
the Emperor has made good to the ex-
tent that in all Siam only-nine gamb-
ling houses now exist and next April
they will be closed and the land will
be free of the evil.
The Siamese by nature are as fond of
gambling as the Chinese, and the police
records of this city show how far the
Celestial will go to indulge his favorite
vice. Siam covers considerably more
territory than Chinatown and shelters
about 100000 more people than the
late Oriental quarter did. But the En-
peror stopped gambling just the same
He started in a few years ago. He
divided the country into districts and
issued a decree forbidding gambling In
certain outlying provinces at the ex-
piration of stated period. The i'm
perial ban was then laid on other
provinces less remote. Gradually the
circle narrowed. The number of gamb-
ling houses in Bangkok meanwhile
was judiciously reduced.
Gamble all you want while you
may. When the time comes to quit
continue at your peril" was the sub
stance of the Emperor's order. In Siam
what the Government says, goes and
when the time came the gamblers
bowed to the inevitable.
When Mr.. Snyder left Bangkok nine
gambling houses We're in operation
there with Government license to run
until the Siamese New Year, which be-
gins next April.
When the time comes" said Mr..
Snyder, those houses will close and
the most wonderful reform ever at
tempted in any land will have been
accomplished. There has not been a
single case of disobedience and I firm
ly believe that after next April gamb-
ling in Siam will have been absolutely
wiped out"
