SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


SAN JOSE. April 15.-Eastertide was
observed tonight at the First Unitarian
Church by service of rejoicing over tie
burning of $4,000 mortgage on the
church property. The church was beau
ufully decorated in honor of the occa-
sion and was crowded to the doors with
those who gathered to witness the last
act in the lifting of the church debt The
mortgage, which was satisfied in full a
few days ago as result of the donations
of the congregation and the friends of
the church, was consigned to the flames
by Mrs. M. II. Hermann, who for many
years has been the treasurer of the
church.
Special music was sung by the choir
under the leadership of Mrs. HilIman
Smith, and remarks We're made by Rev.
George w. Stone of Berkeley, represent
ing the American Unitarian Association;
DR.. c. C. Maynard. president of the
church; Colonel Philo G. Hersey Rev w
t. Patchell, Rev. w. E. Crouser and Rev.
Anthony Mills Congratulatory messages
were received from all parts of the State.
The First Unitarian Church of San Jose
was founded twenty years ago by Rev.
Thomas Van Ness, and its first pastor,
Rev. N. Haskell, filled the pulpit for
nearly fifteen years Five years ago, dur
ing the pastorate of Rev Burt Estes
Howard, the mortgage of $4,000 was re-
duced to $4,000 and this burden still in
numbered the church when Rev. Anthony
Mills, the present pastor took charge.
Through his efforts a campaign to wipe
cut the debt was inaugurated a year ago
and the congregation responded gener-
ously to the call for aid
The entire amount was soon subscribed
and the church property is now entirely

MAY
URGE SHIP BILL
Believed That He Will Use
Influence With the House
for the Subsidy Measure.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

CALL BUREAU. POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, April 10. Japanese
commercial aggression on the Pacific is
being used by the advocates of the ship
subsidy bill as an argument with which
to induce President Roosevelt to come
to the assistance, of the measure now
in the Heusc- committee
Representative Humphrey Of WASH
ington and Harvey d. Goulder, presi-
dent of the American Merchant Marine
Association and counsel for the Lake
Carriers Association, called at the
White House yesterday and conferred
with the President relative to the ne
cessity for action in behalf of the mer-
chant marine at this session of Con-
gress. These gentlemen stated that the
American shipping industry is rapidly
getting in a bad way on the Pacific as
on the Atlantic, owing to the competi-
tion of British, and especially Japanese,
ship owners with the Americans.
Representative Humphrey and Gould
er stated that not only had the Japan
ese subsidized lines, but they were be-
lieved to be carrying on negotiations
for the requirement of several ships
flying the American flag. The callers
gave It as their opinion that unless
prompt action is taken by Congress to
provide for the encourage cement. of the
American merchant marine by direct
subsidy, such as is contemplated in the
bill which passed the Senate, the Amer
lean flag will soon be notable on the
Pacific principally because of its abb
sence.
President Roosevelt has under con-
sideration the sending of special mes
sage to Congress urging the enactment
Of subsidy legislation. Heretofore he
has been inclined TO agree with those
Republican leaders who argue that it
will be best to postpone action until
after the Congressional elections of this
fall, but so strong is the complaint from
the Pacific slope that it is believed he
will use his influence toward earlier
action.

an Exhibition in Paris
Ft--AA-

PARIS, April .15.-Yesterday was var
nlshing day of the sixth annual exhi-
bition of the National Society of Fine
Arts, and it attracted a brilliant gather
ing to the Grand Palace. In spite of the
presence of a number of good works by
French and American artists, the salon
this year marks lower artistic level than
that of last year
No picture stands out pre-eminently, nor
are there any absolutely bad. Impression
ism seems to be on the wane, and the ex-
travagances of those formerly shown and
sometimes admired are now rare The
absence of any pictures by Sargent Gre
ates regrettable void in the American
ranks, while other prominent American
artists do not exhibit
America otherwise is well represented
in number and quality Boldini has some
very talented but contortonist portraits
Walter Gay has several charming in
teriors Mrs McManies a handsome deco
rative panel, and Rolshoven exhibits a
good portrait. Other American painters
who attract attention are Darling, Field,
Alexander Harrison, Childe Hassam, Care
Melchers, Travis, Ullman, Upton and
Vail.
Among the French artists Carolus Dur
am shows two unusually good portraits.
l. Hermfte has four pictures two of
which are especially fine, and La Touche
excels with some decorative panels dis
playing great subtlety of workmanship
and harmony of color. Barnard Blanche,
Dagna11- -Bouveret Courtois, Dinet, Gar
rigo, Meslericher, Roll, Simon and Thau-
low exhibit some very good works.
Jean Weber attracts attention by his
serlo-com1c vein.-Two pictures by Woog
are charming Borchardt displays a large
portrait of the German Emneror which
attracts crowds of people. 1t is especially
guarded by the police to prevent possible
mischief by the French patriots.

KNEW WHAT HIS OWN WAS.

After much persuasion Sir John Asst
ley allowed himself to be put forward,
some years ago, as a Conservative
candidate for parliament from Lin
colnshire. He confessed he knew lit
tie about politics, but entered into
the campaign as rare sport. One day
he addressed a meeting of electors at
village in the Isle of Axholn:e, and
when he had finished, boldly he chal-
lenged his hearers to fire questions at
him. Presently there came this query:
What do you think of Sir Wilfrid
Lawson's liquor bill?" For a moment
Sir John was nonplussed, but only for
a moment. Pulling himself together
he replied: Il cannot answer for Sir
Wilfrid Lawson's liquor bill, but l do
know that last year my own was a
deuced sight too big."-Kansas City

JOE BAILEY
ON CARMACK

| BRISTOL, Tenn, March 9.-"Sena
tor Carmack, of Tennessee, is one OF
the strongest men in the Senate, said
Joseph Walden Bailey, of Texas, as
ne suddenly appeared in Bristol today
and remained fourteen hours, return
ing to Washington tonight.
His open and frank manner and
courage attract admiration, and any
report that the Senator is unpopular,
either with the Democrats or Repub-
licans of the Senate, is prepOsterous. F"
Senator Bailey came to Bristol en-
route to his old home in Copiah coun-
ty, Mississippi, having been called
there on account of the illness of his
aged mother, but when he reached
Bristol he received a telegram an
mourning that she was better, decided
to return to Washington, and aban4
doned the trip. n n,
He spoke in glowing terms of SEM
ator Carmack, and said he thought il
would be impossible for him to be de-
feated, as he was one of the most pop
ular men in the Senate and regarded
as possessing a wealth of mental
equipment which had made him a
great statesman, an honor to Tennes-
see and to the South.
He said the people of Tennessee
ought to feel proud of their senior
Senator, and that great record which
he had accomplished, and while he to
an extent, like the rest of the Demo
cratic members of the Senate, was
unable to get anything tangible of |
Federal patronage for their constit- |
uency, Carmack was fighting for his |
people and the good Of the country, |
and was as high as any man in that |
august body.
He said that the members of the
Senate were expecting great things
Of Senator Carmack, and they had not
SO far been disappointed; that the
Senator had made a brilliant record,
Of which he might well be proud, and
while he did not think it proper that
he should say anything to the peo-
Die of Tennessee in settling the ques-
ion, and did not have any interest
either way therein, the Senate body
we're practically assured second
ERIN would be accorded Senator Car
mack.

"The public generally have no
means of determining the excellence

that building trade upon quality has

Despite reports to the contrary,
there were n" signs of a renewed of
