LANDS IN PRISON CELL
Manuel Dopioo Shoots Guest
Who Created Disturbance
at Wedding Feast

Married less than six hours before he
was locked up in the city prison on a
charge of assault with intent to COM
nit murder was the experience Of
Manuel Dopico, hotel proprietor at
S21 Pacific street, yesterday. Dopicos
victim was Ramon Varanez of 74S VAL
lejo street, who is now at the central
emergency hospital suffering from a
bullet wound in his leg.
Following Dopico's marriage, which
took place early Saturday evening, a
reception was held in the hotel in
Pacific street. Many friends of the
bride and groom attended the festivities
which followed the ceremony There
was an abundance of wine and some
Of the guests became noisy. Among
these. according to the statements Of
Dopico TO the police, was Varanez The
groom asserts that he endeavored to
quiet Varanez, but that the latter in
suited him and that he was forced to
defend himself when Varanez hurled
two bottles at his head. Dopico drew
his revolver and fired one shot at his
guest, the bullet entering Varanez' leg.
Policeman James Connolly heard the
sound of the shot and made an investi-
cation. which resulted in Dopico's ar
rest and Varanez being sent to the
hospital The wedding party was
broken up and the bride was compelled
TO return to her home minus her new
made husband.

shot at me when ] am not looking
He laughed as he made the remark,
but in view of subsequent events it
seems as IL he had a premonition.
The seriousness of the wound which
Heney received can best be described in
the words of DR.. Beasley. who has at
tended the patient increasingly since
he was shot.
He is in bully condition" remarked
the surgeon yesterday as we were
leaving the hospital, "and it is all due
to his wonderful determination and re-
cuperative power. That Haas bullet
did not end Heney's life is, without ex-
ception. one of the most remarkable
accidents / have ever witnessed in my
medical career. That he is now able
to sit up and has full possession of all
his faculties is another.

civic corruption inspires one who hears
him with a boundless admiration for

have attempted almost every crime
punishable under the statutes Fear

bounded.
Knowing these things. one gets some
idea of the force which has impelled

everything for the sake of right and

clear expression of their views of

adopted breathe the doctrine of good

An attempt has been made in this
article to avoid personalities. 1t is
our wish to emphasize the need OF
regeneration and to avoid passing
on the guilt of any man until he
has had fair trial. There are some
things, however. on which we should
all be agreed, after allowing for diff
ferences of opinion about nonessen-
tials. One is equality before the
law. Another is the completion of
the processes to determine guilt or
Innocence without a maze OF tech
nicalities intervening for the sole
purpose of clogging the wheels OF
justice. Still another is the i'm
portance of considering events for
ourselves, guided by reason and
avoiding the counsel based on uIte-

JAPANESE PASTOR TELLS
EFFECT OF CHRISTIANITY
Rev. Danjo Ebina Says Religion
Is Bar to War With
United States

That the growing belief of the Japa-
nese in the brotherhood of man as
taught by Christianity would make a
war between Japan and the United
States impossible, was the contention
of Rev. Danjo Ebina, pastor of the
Hongo Congregational church at Tokyo,
in his address at the Y. M. c. A. yes
terday afternoon. Pastor Ebina, who
is known as the leading Christian min
lister OF Japan, arrived in San Fran
cisco November IT and will leave again
for Japan within week
A large number of japanese heard
his address, the subject being, The
Place of Christianity in the Moral De-
velopment of Japan" He said Chris
tianity was the only stepping stone for
Japan to reach the level of America
and England in the civilized world.
Pastor Ebina spoke yesterday morn
ing at the First congregational church
on The Religious Struggles of the
Japanese Young Men" He also spoke
late in the afternoon at the Plynouth
congregational church.
