POLICE CHIEF.
Rev. Rufus E. Mum
Says Dinan Is Not
Performing His Duty
HE CITES INSTANCE

From the reports in some OF the
daily papers of this city believe that
Chief of Police Dinan has evidently
some malady bordering on. St Vitus
dance or fits of some serious kind,
said Rev. Rufus E. Num- last night in
a prelude to his sermon at the Centen-
ary Methodist Episcopal Church. Con-
tinuing, he said:
1t is not my desire to do anything to
aggrayate the malay A and and hasten a;1e ms ms
some moral pabulum which will prove
helpful to him and work beneficial re-
suits in this city.
When the shoe f1ts some one IS al
ways likely to wear 1t.
When 1 was a boy had weakness
for throwing brickbats at CANNES. On
one occasion, seeing a number of dogs
standing on the street corner, l cast a
stone among them. A lop- cared hound
was confident that he was the dog hit.
l have been accused by the person
In question of being too general In my
statements. This. however, is not the
thing that. is troubling some people In
San Francisco today. The thing. which
seems to have stirred their animosity
has been the specific statements that
and I herewith apologize, not to the
persons mentioned but to my congre-
CATION. for having to drag these things
before them.
The gentleman in question acknowl-
edges through the papers that he
lodged for some tinre in so-called re-
sort Immediately after the fire. 1t
seems to me that there was no occasion
for this, for there were hundreds of
vacant houses In this city. and 1T
showed weakness on the part of any
official who would accept that kind of
hospitality.
sideration of any kind from saloon.
The saloon in question is known to be
opposed to law and order, and when
our chief peace officer compromises his
position by such association the right
thinking people will look upon him
with suspicion
Only yesterday the San Francisco
Call mentioned the place to which
alluded with many others as havin g
violated the law and as having been
reported some time ago to Chief Dinan.
We would like to know what action the
Chief has taken in this matter.
ALI the letters of commendation that
the Chief can stack up will not con-
vince the people of San Francisco that
he is doing his whole duty. If he will
only command the .patrolmen under
him believe they will clean San Fran
cisco of every criminal in a weeks
time.
In confirmation of my former state
ments just see the San Francisco Call
of today.

Father Sullivan Conducts Religious
Exercises In jefferson Square.
Father William P. Sullivan last
night closed the mission which has
been held during the last week in JEFF
ferson Square. The last service was
one of unusual splendor. The altar.
under a spreading elm. was lighted by
a myriad of candles and decorated
with beautiful flowers. The service
began at 1880 o'clock with the recital
of the rosary and litany by Father
Sullivan.
Taking Reconstruction" for his
theme, Father Sullivan in his sermon
alluded to the upbuilding of a newer
and greater city over the ashes of
the old. He acknowledged the diff
culties of the task, but commended
the spirit and energy of the builders.
He dwelt particularly upon the
necessity of courage and persever-
ance in the arduous task.
1T is so with the reconstruction
of spiritual life said the preacher.
"Fervent prayer. regular attendance
at church, loyalty to their pastors and
the frequent reception of the Sacra-
ments of Penance and Holy Eucharist
are absolute necessity"
Father Sullivan complimented the
people upon the spirit with which they
had attended the mission and urged
them to be faithful to their resolu-
tions and persevere to the end.
After the sermon the congregation
was enrolled in the League of the
Sacred Heart. A procession was then
formed of the altar boys and the
priests who had taken part in the
mission. Father Philip Organ. Father
John D. Mcguire. Father John Har-
rington, Father P. j. Keane and
Father ]. A. Grant. Lighted candles
were distributed to the members of
the congregation as the members en-
circled the altar and renewed their
baptismal vows.
The services concluded with the
solemn benediction of the blessed sac
rament and the singing of the Te
| Deum by the worshipers.

demand for increased cost of production,

the democratic party 10 New York is
needed.
Indirectly he indicates that Senator p.
II. McCarren who fought Hearst openly
is the proper man for State leader.
Such n suggestion coming from him,
he admits, would probably be resented
however.
The news Of Hughes election was first
given to Mr. Crokerst his home at Sand!
ford, Ireland, By correspondent Of the
Publishers Press He stated that he was
extremely gratifed over the outcome Of
the election AMI said;

robbed, dispite the fact that SUCH big
majority was fled against him."
The largely vote Hearst polled 10 New
York City was clearly surprise to Mr..
Croker, but he was ready with an ex::

Said he:
II suppose this was due to the fact that
most Tammany men want to be 'regult ar
above everything. The fault was not theirs.
The mischief was done when Hearst was
nominated. =,

Hearst had given the democrats much
trouble and as it WAS predicted that he

known they held no meeting during the
campaign, and made no effort whatever
collectively to conduct a canvass. Yes
terday no canvsssers were employed to
bring out the voters, no vehicles were en-
gagged to carry voters to the polls and the
election was as quietas funeral. Some
of the members of the committee made
individual efforts to induce their friends
to 60 to the polls and cast their votes but
there was no committee action whatever

Newly Coined Words.

Senator Daniels use of the coined
w5ri Qualification" has inspired an
article in one Of the, New York news
papers on coined words in general. The
New York campaign has brought into
being a number of such words. Mr..
Hearst's pspers coined the word, opium
derbuud," which suggested to the Brook
Ign Eagle the word "blunderbuud" and
to some other paper the word "elsuder-
bund." Another hit was made by q
speaker 10 New York who referred to
Mr.. HeaFsfs mental reservoir IS "His-
brane." Senator Daniels word recalls
TO our mind the saying OF well known
North Carolina farmer, who had whole
vocabulary of his own coinage. He was
once called asan expert witness to prove,
in case at bar, what was fair wage
for farm hand. He testified that under
normal conditions be was accustomed to
pay so and so, "but in busy seasons"
be added, "wEen am urgitated, ] pay
more"
"Urgi;ated" is a most expressive
word, but scarcely less so than word
coined BY tired mother in railSay
car, who was trying TO pacify fretful
baby. "Ain't it worriting? she ssid,
with lock OF appeal to iellow-psssen-
or. The fellow.passenger was gentle
woman of culture, but she forthwith
added the word TO her vocabulary, and
since then has often had occasion to use
it TO her comfort. Richmond Times
