SAUSALITO, March A-At the last
meeting of the Town Trustees, Trustee
William J. Martin, speaking to question
of personal privilege, read the circular let
ter recently issued by the Sausalito Mu-
nicipalsLeague. The letter violently at
tackled the present Board Of Town Trus-
tees. 1t was issued, 1t Is believed, for the
purpose OF defeating Trustees e. H Shoe
maker and jacques Thomas, who are can
didates for reelection. Trustee Martin
denounced the authors of the letter as
liars and midnight assassins of char
acter who sneaked from their homes un-
der the cover Of darkness and prepared
their venomous attack upon honest men.
Trustee Martin then showed the excel
lent condition of municipal affairs, due to
the work of the present board He showed
that previous Trustees did not accomplish
as much good as the members of the pres
ent board. Martin pointed out that the
abolition of Sunday picnics. the new
water rate regulations, the decrease in sa-
looms, the permanent seawall, street and
sidewalk improvements. the installation
and extension of street lighting and the
prevention of a gift Of valuable water
front in return for nothing but promise,
not even backed by a bond OF any de-
scription. were the work of the present
board. The poolroom question was also
taken up by Martin, who read a list Of
the different boards, commencing with
that of 1893. The poolrooms were opened
in 1885, The board of 1896 tried by all pos
sible legal means to prevent the poolrooms
running, but they were beaten IN the
courts. The two rooms now running each
pay license Of 500 annually.

Miss Gladys Meyer Is
Frustrated by In
tense Application.

BERKELEY, March 24-Miss Gladys
Meyer, who is rated as perhaps the
most prominent and influential woman
student at the university. has been
obliged to leave college and Is now an
inmate OF the East Bay Sanitarium on
Telegraph avenue, Oakland. News OF
her critical condition and. the danger
with which she Is threatened was cir
culated on the campus today after un-
usual effort had been made to hide from
even her friends the circumstances OF
the case.
Miss Meyer is suffering, it is stated.
from a breakdown Of the nervous sys-
tenn, brought about by intense applica-
tion to study, and to student activities
at the university. Complete cessation
of all this has been ordered by her ply
sicians, who realize the seriousness OF
her condition and plan to restore her
to her place among the coed con-
tingent, if that is possible, at an early
date.
At the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority
house, where Miss Meyer has her home,
1t was stated this afternoon that the
young woman student is receiving all
the attention and care possible to be
given by nurses and doctors and her
sorority. sisters entertain the Hope lHdt
she will suffer no serious or permanent
Injuries as the result of her breakdown.
1t was admitted that she is completely

SAYS TRUSTEE
OWES APOLOGY
Pastor Declares City Official
Should Retract a Charge
of Church Gambling
WITHDRAW OR RESIGN
Rev. Frank s. Brush De-
. liyers Scorching Criticism
4 of William NJ. Bowers

ALAMEDA, March 24-Rev Frank 8.
Brush, Of the First Presbyterian Church
believes that City Trustee William M.
Bowers owes an apology to the majority
of the persons who elected him for the
remark the municipal Legislator made last
| Monday night at the City Trustees meet
Ing when he said during a discussion Of
nickel-in-the-slot machines that every
church and Sunday school in Alameda
runs grab-bags, raff1es and games of
chance for money" Should the apology
not be forthcoming, Rev. Mr.. Brush de-
clares that the only manly course for the
City Trustee is to resign.
In the Church News, a local publication,
the following, written by Rev. Mr.. Brush,
appeared today:
THAT the churches and Sunday schools
of Alameda run grab-bags. raff1es and
games of chance for money was the state
ment of Trustee Bowers of the city
Council last Monday evening when he
spoke in defense of the slot machines
and upheld the disreputable saloon called
the Mellwood. Mr.. Bowers should be re-
membered in this community as the man
who made this wholesale and qualified
attack upon the churches Of Alameda.
For sheer insolence and grossness l have
never seen 1t surpassed. He undoubtedly
received hundreds Of votes from church
members and probably my own vote.
His remark Is a direct and an entirely
uncalled for insult to scores Of men who
did him the honor to vote for him He
made his remark on the floor OF the
Council when acting In his capacity as
a Trustee and representative OF the peo-
pie. He is an absolute misrepresentation
of the great majority of the people who
voted for him. He first spoke in defense
of gambling devices and then in defense
of the wretchedly disreputable saloon.
the Mellwood, and then to cap the climax
of his conscienceless audacity he said,
The churches and Sunday schools of Ala
media run grab-bags, raffles and games
of chance for money
1--WE call this a Christian community.
If II is a Christian community does man
who defends gambling and dens of vice
and then to justify himself accuses the
churches of running gambling devices
represent this community? Preachers
are sometimes accused of making sweep
ing assertions, but wherever was there
such fragrant example as this? If, as
Mr.. Bowers asserts, one or even two
churches permit these immoral practices
it does not make them right nor does it
excuse any Trustee from executing the
laws that he has sworn to uphold. 1t
would be one thing to say that the men
of Alameda are gamblers and quite an
other thing to say there are gamblers
in Alameda. Mr.. Bowers owes an apology
to the large majority of the people who
voted for him. If he does not do this
the only manly course for him Is to re-
sign from an office for which he has
demonstrated his unfitness by wholesale
and malicious falsehood."
