SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-Many
ministers and laymen from the city
and neighboring towns assembled at
the San Francisco Training School, 1923
Haight street, yesterday morning to
hear Bishop Hamilton, who returned

attended the conference of Bishops.
At this conference he received an as
signment of conferences over which
he is to preside in the fall and the ap-
pointment of Bishop in charge of the
California Methodist relief fund.
At the time of the earthquake Bish-
op Hamilton was in Northern Vermont
holding conference, and by the fol-
lowing Monday had reached the mis-
sionary and church extension boards
and half a dozen of the church papers
with appeals for the churches in San
Francisco. by Tuesday, April cath,
$4,000 had been appropriated by the
board of church extension and a call
issued for $25O,OOO To rebuild the burn
ed churches. Subsequently the Bish-
ops made their appeal for 100000

center Of BIG TRAGEDY

Notable among the Sonoma's passen-
gers was w. c. Ellis, the victim of
an assault to kill committed last No
vember in San Francisco and which
attracted the attention of the entire
continent. Ellis is of medium height
and perhaps 30 years of age. He car
ries about with him today souvenirs
of his maltreatment in the shape of
a half-inch dent in the back of his
skull and badly SCARED arm.
Speaking to an Advertiser man yes
terday, Ellis said that he first met his
assailants, William Brush and his fe-
male consort, in sydney. Ellis passed
as rich man then and Brush induced
him to accompany him to America
where he said he had a stable of race
horses which needed a trainer.
According to Ellis, Brush borrowed
$4,000 from him to gamble with on the
steamer and some time after their ar
rival in san Francisco, invited him to
dinner at his apartments in Berkeley,
the loan to be paid back on the same
occasion.
While dining with Brush and the
woman, Ellis said he was struck over
the head with a hammer and that the
woman used knife on him. They
thought they had killed him but he
was only badly wounded and was re-
moved to a hospital. In the meantime
the pair had stolen his funds, which
he always carried on his person,
amounting to about $4,000.
About a month later Brush shot the
lyfI IA ,ipnS tn a
| lodging house in McAllister street,
with the police clamoring at the door
of the room.
| Ellis said yesterday that Brush also
tried to murder him in Honolulu. This
attempt ON Ellis life was made while
| he and Brush and the woman were
staying over here preparatory to TAX
ing the steamer for san Francisco
| Brush had left the woman at the
Young Hotel and enticed Ellis to Dia-
mond Head, Walking behind his in

Brush who said that his revolver hat

said that he had then the best par

The police of San Francisco have
learned that William Ellis is William
Lee, a notorious Australian crook, and
has been pal I'm criminal work of the
man who tried to kill him.
james Kelly, the man who was
killed by Policeman Lestrange In
Berkeley on September 2S, belonged TO
the same gang. The four VINO gave
battle to Policeman I.estrange in the
early morning hour We're Lee, An
drews, Kelly and a man known in po-
lice circles as Casey.
The quartet is as desperate a band
Of criminals as roams the world. They
have been hunted by the police of Aus
tralia for various crimes. ranging from
arson to murder. They were known as
the Howard gang
"A small fortune in jewelry which
these crooks stole in Australia has been
located in Oakland pawnshops. The
Oakland and San Francisco police have
been in communication with the Aus
tralian police and detectives from that
country will start for here as soon as
possible.
THE trouble between Andrews and
Lee was over the division of the Aus
tralian spoils. 1t was murderous
duel over their loot which resulted in
one thief receiving what may prove
death wounds"
However. the Australian detectives
failed to identify Ellis with Lee, and
Ellis is now on the way back to Aus
tralia
In a confession published in the Ex-
aminer the day after he committed
suicide, Andrews said:
Ellis and i started our travels as
partners to get the money playing
poker. We won $500 in the Star Hotel
in Auckland, n. u. We won 500 on
the Sierra to Honolulu. We got no

That petition, printed in the small
printing office that the pupils run at
Kaahumanu school. is in the hands of
every public school teacher in the Ter
ritory and is being signed almost
unanimously. In fact, it is a poor kind
of voter who will not sign it, especially
when pretty teacher presents it to
him. and the circulators of the petit
ton are finding mighty few of that
kind of men.
This is the first step taken by the
teachers themselves in the way of or
ganized effort to have their salaries
raised to the former figure. 1t is not
to be the last. There will be meet
ing very soon, and at that meeting
committees will be appointed to wait
on the various Territorial committees
and pledge them to do their best to
have the platforms pledge the legisla-
tive candidates to the restoration of
salaries. Then, when the conventions
meet, they will be waited upon, too,
and the delegates solicited for support.
Lastly, the candidates will be asked to
give personal pledges In addition to
the pledges in the platforms.
AS to the platforms of the several
parties it is thought that they will be
easily reached In the first place, a
number of leading Republican poliu-
clans, the men who make platforms,
are pledged already to the salary res
;oration plank, The Republican Is the
! dominant rarty and WILL it is thought
! control both houses of the Legislature
! However. to guard against contingent
cies, the other parties will be pledged
also Indeed, they will have to pledge
| themselves. The teachers have begur
their campaign among the voters, ant
the party that does not fall into llh'
will fall down on the votes. To leave
this strong card of salary restoration
to the Republicans would give then
a pull that the other fellows coulc
not afford. The Home Rulers and th'
Democrats have a heavy handical
enough without that.
So the teachers are in fair way Il
get what is coming to them, which rae
shows the benefits that come from or
ppniZed work.

FRIGHTFUL ORGIES IN
SAN MATEo COUNTY.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S. - The
usual Sunday crowd OF the thirsty left
San Francisco yesterday for across the
line i'm San Mateo county. The usual
fights and drunken orgies were the re-
suit, although, fortunately, through the
overawing presence of part of a COM
pany OF the Twenty Infantry.
commanded by First Lieutenant W. G..
Schmidt, there was no repetition of the
reckless shooting of last Sunday.
The rain poured down the fore part
of the day. and this deferred many of
the thirstiest from going out to Colma
until the afternoon. Colma was the
haven Of the liquor loving, as the Six
Mile House was closed, as were all re-
sorts in the vicinity.
BY 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
, crowds had got well started and the
Carousing began. While two saloons
just across the line We're locked, others
We're wide open and hard liquor
flowed freely. The result became evil
dent in the evening when the drunken
throng started back to san Francisco
noisy, quarrelsome and ugly. Every
car was a pandemOnium until the reg
lllars at the line took a hand and sub
dued the worst by showing a desire
to whip the uproarious, singly or in
punches The police also were present
farther in. and aided the conductors
and motormen to preserve a semblance
or order.
The difference between the crowds
on the lines running out into San
Mateo county and those within the
city proved conclusively the difference
between the spirit of the two counties
1t was openly boasted in the neighbor-
ing county that the san Mateo SUI
pervisors would not be Influenced &c
shut off the profit of the saloon keep
ors. trading on the thirst of San Fran
cisco. and the constables and depu'
ties sent to keep order felt little neeo
to use stringent measures to check
drunkenness.
Lieutenant Schmidt and his men die
what they could to keep liquor from
being brought over the line, and So
kept the drunken and liquor-craZeC
from continuing their orgies i'm thu
city. Lieutenant schmidt stated tina
Saturday night, in Colma, had beel

morphine and the smokers of opium
would not associate, would not mix,

GET DRUNK
IN OAKLAND

OAKLAND. May 2S.-By q vote of
5 to 6 the resolution 10 close Oakland's
saloons for an indefinite period was
defeated tonight i'm the city Council,
ana Oakland's saloons and other liquor
dispensaries win continue to do busl-
ness between a. IN. and y. M, as
they have since they were first opened
on the 2d of the present month.
As was anticipated. the men who ad-
vocated closing found it impossible to
swing a single vote TO their side. the
men who previously voted against
closing. FIVE OF whom were present at
last weeks meeting of the Council.
and four of wnom were at Thursday S
meeting in committee of the whole. all
remained in line, and they were all
present tonight.
Every member of the Council was in
his seat when President Fitzgerald
called the meeting to order after an
executive session that lasted until
S:45. The report of the committee of
the whole, recommending the passage
of the saloon closing resolution, was
read. and then President Fitzgerald di-
rected the clerk to call the roll on the
resolution.
BERKELEY, May 2S.-By a unani-
nous vote the Board of Trustees of
Berkeley tonight closed the saloons
until such time as San Francisco shall
see fit to open her saloons. The mo-
tion to suspend the liquor traffic was
made by Trustee Il. l.. Favor after the
presentation of petition calling for
such action signed by 12O of the most
prominent citizens of the town. The
signers are members of the Chamber
OF Commerce, the conference commit
tee of Improvement clubs and the Com
mittee of One Hundred, church peo-
pie who have organized to advocate
the closing of all saloons within thirty
miles of San Francisco.
The saloon question has been agitated
for two or three weeks past and was
brought to the attention of the Trus-
tees at their last meeting, but at that
time no action was taken. A. w
Atherton, who made speech in favor
of the closing ordinance, said that the
saloonmen were willing to close. He
said that the business men demanded
that the saloons be closed. The only
grog shops in the town were those of
the West End. as South Berkeley re-
