that Germany will consider the Franco
Spanish note regarding Morocco in the

Z The separation OF the question con-

how the accounts are to be reekOned.
II France does not expect to charge
Morocco with the maintenance Of
troops engaged. but only for the ac-
tual expenditures, such as for the
transportation OF ammunition and the
destruction OF material. then the
powers might willingly agree that q
moderate reimbursement should be ex-
acted, but Germany Is resolute = against
enormous bills being presented. for

Similar to This Country


BERKELEY, Sept. 15.-Thc predie-
ton that the commerce between the
United states and China would increase
tweIvefoId within the next 10 years
was made at the weekly lecture at the
college OF commerce by DIR. Ng Poon
Chew. editor of a Chinese paper in San
Francisco. DR.. Chew declared that the
United states was the only country
which had not grabbed land from
China.
He believed. however. that the land
grabbing OF the nations had awakened
his country to action and that China
had made more progress In 1901 than
I'm the previous so years. He said:
THE Chinese schools are now pat
termed after those of America and the
student is obliged to master one for
eign tongue, which is usually English.
In few years visitor to China will
only need a knowledge of the English
tongue. The school course In China to-
day is practically what 1t is IN this
country"
DIR. Chew also said that one of the
remarkable features OF the world S
history today Is the ease with which
an education can be secured. He de-
clared there was no excuse for ignor-
ance in America.

AfF|NITI[S
HELD AS VAGRANTS
Woman and Soulmate Arraigned
on Charge Made by Her
Mother
Husband Sues to Annul Mar
riage and Relative Cares
for Child

OAKLAND, Sept. 15.-A suit to annul
marriage, an elopement wherein the
call OF affinity brought together two
soul mates with wooden legs; clan
dest1ne trip into the Santa Clara valley
behind borrowed" team of Shetland
ponies, which the eborrowers" migrate
fully sold at the end of their trip; a
high old time in San Jose, and finally
arrest and return to Oakland on a
charge of vagrancy-these have been
the principal features in the recent
experiences of Mrs. Mary Bull, the
wooden legged wife of a manufacturer
Nol wooden legs, and her wooden legged
afinity, Frank Fleming, son of the
manager of local cafe.
Detective McSorley returned from
san Jose last evening with the captive
eiopers. When he entered the Oakland
police headquarters he carried on one
arm Mrs. Bulls brown eyed little
daughter. while in the other hand he
carried Mrs. Bulls wooden limb,
wrapped up in paper. The mother hob
bled along behind on crutches, while
her accused companion, Fleming,
stumped sturdily along beside her.
The desire of Mrs. Bulls relatives to
take the custody OF her child away
from her was the real reason for her
arrest. Some years ago the woman
suffered an accident, which resulted in
the amputation of her leg and is said
to have unbalanced her mentally. While
being measured for an artificial limb
she was wooed and won by manufac-
turer Arthur f. Bull. Soon after the
birth of their child Bull accused his
wife OF forcing him to marry her by
fraud, and the suit for annulment of
marriage which he instituted Is now
pending in the superior court When
Mrs. Bull left Oakland in company with
Fleming several days ago, her mother,
Mrs. Catherine Rogers of Berkeley,
swore to the complaint charging her
with vagrancy in order that the child
might be taken from her. The police
have placed the child in the care Of
Mrs. c. Kennedy, an aunt Of Mrs. Bull,
who resides in East Oakland.
1t is stated that the charge of vag
rancy will not be pressed against the
couple and that they will not be prose-
cuted for selling the team of Shetland
ponies, belonging TO Flenings mother,
for $3.50. Fleming and Mrs Bull were
arraigned in the police court this morn
ing and their trials were postponed.

Carl L. H0ag Suffers From Ef-

Ceremony

BERKELEY. Sept. 15.-Required to
swallow bitter concoction in the in
itiation ceremonies of the Alpha Kappa
Kappa, one Of the leading medical fra
ternities of the affiliated colleges of
San Francisco. Carl l.. Hoag, as senior
Of the university and a member of the
Calimedico club of the medical stu
dents. was taken seriously ill after the
ceremonies week ago and for several
days his life was dispaired of by his
physicians. He has recovered from his
experience, however, and appeared on
the campus today for the first time
since the attack.
Members of the Alpha Kappa Kappa
fraternity profess their ignorance of
the cause of Hoag's illness, as other
neophytes of the medical fraternity
were required to swallow the decoc-
ton prepared for those who would
wear the fraternity pin and no serious
results followed
Hoag has told his club mates of the
Calimedico that the mixture contained
solution of silver nitrate. He went to
the initiation and banquet a week ago

PRESBYTERY REJECT
COMBINATION PLAN
Ministers of Oakland Vste Down
Proposition to Merge
Churches
San Francisco Committee Be-
Iieyes Consolidation Would
Benefit Entire Work

OAKLAND. Sept. 15.-After more
than four hours OF heated discussion
on the proposed consolidation OF the
Oakland and san Francisco presby-
teries. the proposition was rejected by
q vote Of p TO 16 AT the fall meeting of
the Oakland presbytery at Emanuel
Presbyterian church today. The subject
was thoroughly thrashed out by 50
ministers and elders and vote was
not called for until late in the after
noon.
The report of the Oakland commit
tee was against consolidation, the
members having spent the last two
months conferring frequently with the
san Francisco committee, of which Rev
DR.. ]. +. Thomas was chairman.
The committees report was as fol-
lows:
1T must be considered that the ques-
tion Of difference involves more or less
hardships in case Of consolidation. II
would at once remove several of our
churches so far from the center that
they would feel the hardships. 1t is
difficult IN theseftimes TO secure full
attendance at, a presbytery, even with
out present distances to travel, and 1t
would be very much more difficult TO
secure a proper and hearty representa-
tion from these churches If consolida-
tion took place. Now the presbytery
needs these churches, and these
churches need the presbytery.
we also consider that our claims
upon the home board would be more
or less weakened.
This merging our identity could not
help In diminishing both our spirit and
efficiency. The claims OF the San FraH-
cisco presbytery that they need our
help are fully recognized by this COM
-mittee. but we think they greatly over
estimate the advantage to them OF con-
solidation. The true way for US TO help
San Francisco is 20 build up Presbyte-
risnism on this side of the bay"
The report was signed by DR.. T. S.
Brush, II. c. Biddle and Charles Z. Cor
nell After its reading DR.. Thomas of
San Francisco made & strong plea for
consolidation, saying that while there
were but 2,S0O Presbyterians in a city
of 10000, IL was not for this but the
city's great religious problem he sought
assistance. The discussion then be-
came general after reports made by
the various committees Of the presby-
tery, with Rev. H. H Whittier as mod
orator and Rev. II. ". Harbrough OF
Pleasanton as secretary.
A resolution was passed unanimously
urging that the committees working
with the Anti-Saloon league use their
best efforts for the next four months
and that superintendent DR.. ". W
Burke OF the northern California dis
'trict Of the league be made welcome al
all church pulpits. DR.. Burke made
a strong talk on the saloon subject and
was accorded vote of thanks.
