TFVIS SCHEME GOOD.

Says SlO,5OO,OOO Property

Witness Great Endurance and
Slow Progress Evoke At
torney's Caustic Comment

Summarizing two days explanations
of portfolios "A" and "B" of the maps
and drawings of the Bay Cities alleged
water properties embraced in the
scheme which that company attempted
to sell to San Francisco as an alleged
adequate water supply for $10,600. o0C
through Mayor Schmitz and Abe Ruef
engineer Edwin Duryea Jr.. formerly
consulting engineer for William s.
Tevis, informed the court and jury
yesterday afternoon in the Tevis-B Bull
letin libel suit that the Bay Cities
scheme was In his opinion an adequate
water supply.
Duryea's sudden statement followed
OBJECTIONS by Attorney Hiram W. john
son for the defense on the ground that
Duryea's continued explanations had
developed into an endurance contest
ASKS FOR CONCLUSIONS
Surely the witness need not go
through cartload of blueprints in
order TO tell the jury whether or not
the Bay Cities scheme would have been
an adequate water supply or not. AS
learned as he is, he certainly can state
his conclusions without entering into
an endurance contest. We have now
taken up two days and as yet we are
only at the end of portfolio and
there are "a letters Of the alphabet left.
Furthermore, whether the Bay Cities
company could have impounded all the
waters of Gods heavens or not, the
witness can state his conclusions. 1t
also is remarkable that in a brief
period of time the Bay Cities company
has mastered the entire Sierras. The
witness also admits that the greater
portion of his maps, drawings and cal
culations were based upon reports of
FORMER City Engineer Grunsky and City
Engineer Marsden Manson. According
to the manner in which the prosecution
is progressing this case will be con-
tinued for weeks"
At that point Assistant District At
torney Hof Cook said many of the
Jurors had shown a keen interest In
the maps and had at times asked inteIlf-
gent questions concerning them.
COOK Is CONGRATULATED
congratulate counsel in that he is
so able to grasp the meaning of all this
data and fully to comprehend each and
every map. for I am sure 1 am not able
10 do so and I fear there are others In
the case who share my ignorance" re-
pned johnson to Cooks remarks
Inc court sustained the objections of
the defense. Following this one of the
Jurors asked that the jury be dismissed
Tor the day and the court complied, but
before adjournment Attorney Matt 1.
sullivan announced that 80 minutes
would be taken this morning for the
derense's cross examination of the wit
ness.
HON Cook then said that the re-
mainder of the week would be required
TO examine several more witnesses who
had been called.
Are they coming with portfolios.

Yes replied Cook.
Recess was then taken until IA
o'clock this morning.

AN APPEAL FOR HELP.

Every cause that can boast actual
merit, or that has Tor its real objective
the emancipation OF the race from the
CALLING yoke OF supersticions chains,
should be made missionary cause,
and the world needs just such missions
and missionaries.
For a thousand years, or more, the
Christian advocates have manifested
remarkable missionary zeal and today,
their missionary work constitutes the
very life OF the organization. In fanci-
full pictures, painted in glowing colors,
adorned by an elOquence OF pathos,
tales are told in church and Sunday
school to work up the religious fervor
OF the fanatics, OF some struggling
mission abroad, in need of more cash,
and another strenuous appeal is made
to the pocket book in the expectation
that the strings thereof will be loosened
a little more, and an outpouring follow
that shall make the hearts of the mis-
sion managers glad.
Reports are sent in from mission
stations abroad that would induce the
credulous and unthinking to believe
that the pagan peoples were all on the
verge of being won over to Jesus, al
most ready to accept the myth Of the
crucifed savior but just a little more
cash is needed to finish the enterprise
and land the fishes through golden
bait. Of course, the sole hope is that
when safely won, the converts will,
themselves, become contributors to the
cause, and transform themselves into
paying and active members instead OF
remaining a burden upon the enter
prise.
Existing conditions show most plain
ly that the Christian missionary enter
prise is on the verge of failure. That
instead of being in receptive atti-
tude, the pagan nations are really an
tagonistic to the Christian prosClyter,
that but a moety of these people pro-
fess even a partial acceptance of Chris

Does not this imply that false reports
are sent outY If it does, who sends
these reportsl Are not the mission
aries responsible for themg Would he
advise and encourage an enlarged sup
port, IN cash, to men who would thus
be guilty Of deception with their en-
ployers? If Christian missionaries
would resort to such methods would
they not also deceive the natives2 And
why is it an 'unwelcome fact" that
the heather are not crowding into
the mission churches2" 10 whom is
such a fact unwelcomeY Is it un"
welcome to Mr.. Ellisl If it is how can
Mr.. Ellis assert that he is unbiased and
contend that his investigation has been
impartialY Does not this imply that
Mr.. Ellis went abroad with the avowed
purpose of seeking material for funds
and, seeking, did not he find just what
he wantedY Can Mr.. Ellis honestly
say that he found nothing to criticize,
save that above quoted, which is all
the criticism he has to offerq
by their fruits we shall know
them.
The fruitage Of the investigation
made by Mr.. Ellis, the fruitage of the
missionary work as revealed by him,
enables the independent and unbeliev-
ing citizen to read between the lines,
and denounce the whole system as a
monstrOus fake.
One of the strong points made by
Mr. Ellis, in his own opinion, is that
missionary work should be carried on
exclusively by men and that all women
missionaries should be recalled. How
will the sisteren like thisY Remove
the women from the field and the wo-
men at home must grow lukewarm in
the work of raising cash. But, then,
perhaps Mr.. Ellis is looking for fat
job at some mission station in some
beautiful oriental city. Who knOwsq
The whole answer to Christian mis-
sionary enterprise may be summed up
in this, how can the missionaries ex-
pect to convert peoples of different
moral code to that of Christianity
when Zless than one-third of the pop
ulation at their own homes remains
aloof from Church and are indifferent
to the whole Christian Systemq If
they can't win their neighbors to
Christ how can they expect to win
the peoples of pagan nationsY More
cash may explain the conundrum.
After all, that is just what is wanted
more cash, and so we have this latest

tian mythology, while the great bulk
ignore the mission work altogether AMI
look upon the workers with feelings of
contempt, sometimes pity. In spite
OF this, year after year, a golden tide
flows eastward and what might have
been spent upon the improvement of
those trying conditions that surround
the poor at home, goes into the pockets
Of the missionaries abroad.
Under the caption of 'Men and Mis-
sions" an article, written by William
c. Ellis, has been going the rounds of
the American press, as syndicated mat
ter. He claims to have made thor
ough and impartial investigation of the
missions abroad for the purpose Of
learning their condition, their work,
their needs and necessities. He states
that he had no particular axe to grind,
and furnishes the report with an
unbiased mind, as secular journal

criticism and explore into every nook
and corner of the Christian world s
missionary work abroad. SO far so
good, but in the report" submitted
to the press for publication, consisting
of three column appeal to Christian
men and women for more money for
missions, the zeal of the writer and
Investigator oversteps the mark sug-
gested.
In the first place Mr.. Ellis did not
a mind free from bias. He went as an
avowed believer in god, an accepor of
the Christian myth, believer in the
value of mission work and a necessity
for its continuation and support, and,
as such, he returns with renewed
vigor in the work of soliciting aims,
begging, as it were, for more contribu-
lions from the faithful in order to
furnish better support for the mis-
sionaries. And yet, he very frankly
admits that to great extent the
Christian missionaries are failure.
Zone of the hurtful delusions of the
home churches concerning foreign mis-
sions "a delusion sometimes fosterej
by Unbalanced reports from the field,
is that the whole heather world is on
the verge of conversion to Christianity.
One of the conmonest figures Of mis-
sionary oratory represents the nations
as crowding into the church. Now, the
unwelcomed fact is that heathendom,
as a whole, has scarcely been budged
by missions. Great as have been the
triumphs in spots, the whole
mass has hardly been touched by the
