STEALING FROM BABIES
NOT So BAD As This

The equal in meanness of the man
who takes candy from babies" or pen
MES from a blind mans aims box was
located yesterday by the police, and it
is likely that he. with his woman COM
panion of equal cupidity. will consti-
tute an exhibit at the County Jail OF
the ultimate personification of con-
temptibleness.
The precious pair are accused of be-
ing the two who have been plundering
the little homes of the refugees and
when captured yesterday gave the
names of Alfred Goulstone and Grace
Porter. Not content with getting the
small savings and few belongings of
value possessed by the refugees, the
woman would present herself at the
front door of the house, and while she
engaged the housewife in conversation
her accomplice would enter at the rear
of the building and secure anything
of value not too large to carry OFF. A
marked $40 gold piece was the means
of identifying them, and when searched
at the police station after operating
in Hamilton Square the coin was found
In their possession.

SPEAKS OF THE SPREAD
OF VICE IN OUR MIDST

Rev c. Calvert Smoot of the Second
Unitarian Church took for the topic of
his address yesterday morning: "WilI
Brooms and Shovels Make San Fran
cisco Clean? He praised the impulse
which had prompted the street cleaning
movement and said that it showed that
the city was concerned at least in
having the outside clean. He then add
ed that we needed a cleaning not out
ward and quoted the command of Christ
to cleanse not first the outside of the
platter, but rather the inside. He
would hesitate, he said. to recommend
the same order to the city of San Fran
cisco, fearing that if were SO ordered
there would never be any street clean
ing. DR.. Smoot said in part:
In view of the situation see no reason why
the cleaning should not be done on a Sunday.
That IT will give the people of the land a

they are unbiased by any antiquated religious

member of the Police Commission has to resign
from the board because he cannot get co-opera-
tion in his endeavor to suppress vice. A city
is not clean when saloons spring up like toad

houses of Ill fame conduct their nefarious bust
ness unhampered by any restrictions A city
is not clean when at a number of cigar stands
and other places pools upon races may be pur-
chased even by the youth.
DR.. Smoot spoke also OF the patron
age grab which is the tool. of corrupt
politicians and the shame of which
must be laid at the doors of the large
cities. In this respect San Francisco
was guilty. The streets of the city
would be cleansed by concerted action.
A few hours work would do it, but
we needed an inward cleansing, an
awakening of the public conscience. In
concluding he asked:
Shall we not awaken, people of San
Francisco, and make this city on the
hills beside the Golden Gate a city
whose name shall stand not only for
enterprise, prosperity. recuperative
strength and indomitable courage, but
one which shall be known also for law,
order and righteousness

Belated Pedestrians and
One May Die

Policemen are searching the haunts
of criminals in the effort to get some
clew to the identity OF a dangerous
thug who strikes his victims upon the
head with a sandbag or brick tied up
in sack before robbing them.
Two men seriously injured in this
manner are being treated at the Central
Emergency Hospital John Connolly, a
laborer. was picked up covered with
blood, almost unconscious from the ef-
fects of a blow on the skull, at the
corner of Jackson and Kearny streets
about o'clock yesterday morning.
Before lapsing into inconsistencies
Connolly told an incoherent tale OF the
assault. He said he heard a slight
noise behind him. quick step, felt q
terrific blow, and as he lay PROSTATE
he was conscious of a figure bending
over him. He was robbed OF $3.50.
John Ross reported to the police that
he had been struck on the head In the
same manner Saturday night and
robbed of SIS. He was suffering from
concussion of the brain and the ply
sicians were astonished that he had
been able to walk about q whole day
in his condition. His scalp had been
laid open for several inches and it was
feared the skull was fractured. The
assault occurred at the corner OF
Fourth and Howard streets. Ross

RED LIGHTS CROW
DIM IN TENDERLO|N

The tenderloin scarcely fickered last
night, and the interiors of Casserly's,
Schiff Brothers. the Alturas and other
such resorts along the red-light way
of Golden Gate avenue were as dismaily
depressing as the deserted. rain swept
streets outside.
There were no raids. and a few of
the bolder female patrons "sat around
the parlors while the usual melange
of popular music was hammered out
on more or less musical pianos. But
no patrons came, and the time was
spent in wondering what the finish was
going to be.
There Is a growing sentiment, freely
expressed last night among the cafe
owners, where women congregate, that
the situation is desperate. and it was
agreed that another meeting be held
today to see what can be done.
While there were no raids, and while
the higher authorities who Saturday
night undid Captain MONEYS work of
cleaning the places out kept faith, the
patrons themselves were afraid and
did not attend Gloom settled over the
tenderioin, save for a few fitful CLEANS
of red. which shone from Schiff Broth
ers' and one or two similar resorts.
But every time the door opened, fur
tive giances, apprehensive of trouble
from raiding bluecoats, told the story
of the tenderloin's troubles last night.

EULOGY RENDERED

Mrs. Grace D. Ohnimus, in her ad-
dress at the memorial services held by
the United Ancient Order of Druids
at Sheriff. Israel Synagogue yesterday
afternoon, supplied one of the most
impressive numbers on the programme,
which, as is the rule with the Druids'
services, was of high order of liter
ary and musical merit.
Mrs. Ohnimus paid glowing tribute
to the dead, and dwelt upon the part
taken by the women OF the order IN
solidifying it and keeping the spirit of
Druidism- in the same earnest, frater-
nal form which made it a religious and
scientific power in the ages before the
coming of Christ.
The committee having in charge the
arrangement of the service succeeded
admirably in the effort to honor the
dead by the most beautiful vehicles of
oratorical and musical expression. DR..
H. ]. Stewart presided over the organ
The invocation was made by Past
Supreme Arch L. G. Schord, and Noble
Grand Arch M. Pozzi delivered the

WASHINGTON AS A DIPLOMAT
Rev. I. C. Meserye Draws Lesson From
Career of Father of Country

At Plymouth Congregational Church
in Post street, near Webster, Rev. ]. c.
Meserve last night in glowing patriot
ism told the story of George Washing
ton. From the career of the Father OF
his country the pastor drew a lesson
of integrity and honesty. AS Wash
ington was truthful he was one of the
greatest diplomats was the opinion OF
the speaker. But he did not weave into
his diplomacy half truths and untruths
as did diplomats before his time and
after his time, he declared.
The services at the church were
strictly patriotic last night. With pa
triotic songs and with the pulpit
draped with the Stars and Stripes
everything spoke of the glory of the
nation for which Washington gave his
best efforts.
