AUTO BREAKS
 INTO FUNERAL
Police Are Looking for Owner of Car Which Interrupted Procession
 Yesterday.

There was some indignation aroused yes- terday afternoon when an automobile broke through a funeral procession at the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street Quite a number of people on the street witnessed the act of disrespect for the dead, and several were summoned to appear against the driver of the auto.
 Fortunately, Police Officer Devine se- cured the number of the automobile as 1t was driven off up the street. The number was reported to police headquarters inl- mediately, and an effort was made to To- cate the owner of the car. The drivers arrest will follow as soon as he can be located
 There has been much complain recently of the matter of automobiles, street cars carriages and even drays breaking through funeral processions. There are both state and city laws against this act, but the incident of yesterday was the first that the police have taken in hand in some time Some time ago the mayor re- ouested Chief Bodeker to instruct his men to enforce the law strictly in this respect, which was done, and the patrolmen have sharp eye out for such violators.

EVANGELISTIC WORK
 STILL IN PROGRESS
REPORTS AT PASTORS UNION MEETING SHOW MORE THAN 700 CONVERSIONS SINCE THE WORK STARTED.

At the meeting of the Pastors union yesterday morning the Rev. s. J. Foster was called to the chair and reports from the districts were brought in A wave of enthusiasm was aroused by the glowing accounts given from North Highlands and other parts of the city. No less than 260 conversions at seven churches were recorded, 164 being actually added to the churches. This brings the total actually reported to more than TOO conversions: but, owing to the absence of many pas tors, complete returns are not as yet pos- sible
 The secretary. the Rev. George Eaves, requests that each pastor send him this week the record of additions during and since the campaign. In this way the full- est details can be tabulated and filed with the secretary of the union next Monday.
 Moved by gratitude and joy. the union resolved to call a special praise service for next Monday. It has been suggested that many of the members of the churches would likely unite with the pas tors in such a service of thanksgiving. WitHout any Hourlsn trumpetS or any attempt to stir emotional excitement, there have probably been aroused to ear nest Christian life no less than a thou sand persons.
 Had such results been reached In a spectacular central meeting, with evan gelists brought in from a distance, the service" said the secretary, would have been hailed as an amazing success. The results. however, are due to Gods mani fest approval of the loving and loyal unity which has so eminently character ized the movement
 After hearing an address from mem- Der of the American tuberculosis exhibi- tion. the pastors appointed committee to express their hearty indorsement of and sympathy with that splendid bit of modern philanthropy.
