Says Lust for Gold
Corrupts Men.

Rev w. E. Dugan. pastor of the
Stewart Memorial Church, preached at
the morning service yesterday on "A
Fearful Malady," taking for his text,
from Matthew. VIII. 14-I5. Peters
wife's mother lay sick of fever. Christ
touched her hand and cured her.
The speaker held that San Francisco
is sick with corruption. due TO the
thirst for gold, and that to escape
corruption and graft, the people must
stop their mad quest for riches Mr.
Dugan spoke in part as follows
Now, San Francisco is sick unto
death with the terrible fever Of sin and
moral corruption. The crimes in our
midst are enough To make the heart
sick. Back of IL all is the fearful con
dftiou connected with graft among hign
officials.
I'VE are all convinced that great cor
ruptfon exists among many who have
sworn to protect the people.
There is need that Christ should
touch our politicians and Ngh city or
ficials in general ana purge AVA .aa
terrible disease called thirst for goId I.,s !.
This is the malady back of all mn
nicipal corruption
1T seems strange that the peonle
permit one mans TO own and control
the city; to remove a county oficiaI
and usurp that office himself: to pacl<
grand Juries-ln snort, TO hold the city
by the throat and rife its pockets
According to the press. this has actual
Iy been going on for years. Why does
IL go on? Because the people are so
busy looking after money that thew
have no time to investigate. Because.
again, witnesses necessary to convict
can so often be bought; because money
can often change the minds of Jurors.
and because there are enough voters
who sanction high-handed iniquity 10
keep corrupt politicians in power.
Whenever the majority OF the voters
make up their minds that this corruD-
tion must stop. stop 1t will The hon
est voters are not organized: the graft
ers are organized. and by hoodwink-
ing honest voters they control the
city's affairs
oh. that the pure honesty of Christ
might seize our population

the star witness at the preliminary ex-
animation yesterday before Police
Judge Cabaniss of George Hammer.
Joseph T. Hubbard, Fred Martin. Dan
iel T. Cahill and Clarence Mcconnell on,
the charge of shooting and killing An
drew Kellner, union sailor, on the
launch Escort on the night of June II.
Bird did not deviate from the testi-
mony he gave at the Coroner's inquest.
He positively identified Hubbard as the
man who fired the first shot at Kellner
from the steam schooner National City.
Kellner had thrown open his coat and
shouted, We are not armed" The
launch was then from eight to ten feet
from the steam schooner. Bird also
say Hammer firing at the men on the
launch from the bridge of the Ma
tional City. He said he heard Hubbard
use a vile expression and say that he
would kill them all, meaning those on
board the launch. Witness went to the
engine room and when he returned the
launch was about a quarter of mile
away. Hammer had threatened to
strike him at that time, but was re-
strained by Mrs. Frederickson wife of
the captain. He saw no shots fred
from the launch and no attempt was
made by any one on the launch 20
board the National City
Bird was cross examined at length
by Attorney Ach, but his testimony
was not shaken. He admitted he had
a quarrel with Hammer while at sup
per that evening because he had been
refused shore leave, but he lad no feel
ing in the matter he said.
Louis Larsen, a sailor on, the launch
Escort. testified that when Il was about
ten feet from the Nationals City some
one on the latter started shooting He
heard about thirty shots altogether.
He was inside the cabin, the door be-
ing open and he could see Cahill run
ming to a ladder and climbing to the
bridge. He also saw woman stand
ing on the starboard side. No shots
were fired from the launch and he was
unarmed. Three other sailors on the
launch were wounded. His cross-ex-
animation will go on this morning.
During Birds examination Attorney
Hutton had occasion to remark that he
would call upon Detectives Gibson and
Riordan to testify and Ach at once de-
manded that they be ordered to leave
the court room, the same as other wit
nesses. The Judge declined saving
that although Ach was standing. upon
his legal rights. he would appoint the
two detectives as a special guard over
the five defendants while they were in
the court room, which would necessi-
tate their presence in court,

SCHOOL CHILDREN
ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
At FIRST PRACT T|CE
Sing National Airs Under
Leadership Of Miss Car
penter.

Several hundred pairs of bright lit
tie eyes followed closely each directing
movement of their singing teacher at
the Pacific Heights School yesterday
morning and as many clear, childish
voices sang America" their first prac-
tice song with enthusiastic patriotism.
Miss Estelle Carpenter, superintendent
of music in the public schools. led them
through their songs and exercises for
an hour, training the children for the
important part they are to play In the
Fourth of July exercises at Golden
Gate Park. At the end of this time
she sighed happily and said, 1T is go
ing to be a success. The children will
make il So"
This was the first song recital of the
children. 1t was an anxious time for
Miss Carpenter, for she realized that
upon the enthusiasm of the children
depended the success of their exer-
cises in the open air on the Fourth.
The young gsters came early and listened
eagerly to the plan of exercises as it
was explained to them by the singing
teacher. They sang we'll for first les
son and they were eager for more
work when it was completed. Their
enthusiasm and the real merit of their
work dispelled all doubts OF the sue
cess of the open-air entertainment on
the Fourth.
Another rehearsal will be held today.
This will be for the pupils of the
Haight, Mission and all primary and
grammar schools south of Market
street. They will meet at the Haight
School, on Mission street, near Twenty
fifth The rehearsal will begin at 10
o'clock.
