fore, be it
Resolved. that our members in con-
gresS be instructed and our members in
congress be requested to use all honor
able means TO secure the prompt adop-
ton by congress of the joint resolution
referred TO in the preamble Of this res
olution.
Senator Wolfe will ask that this reso-
luton be referred to the San Francisco
delegation for consideration and re-
port All the San Francisco senators
and assemblymen are expected to join
in recommending its adoption by both
houses Senator Wolfe thinks that
with this recommendation it will pass
through both houses in the early days
of the session
If any opposition to the resolution
should develop. it would be most likely
to come from the representatives of
the Turlock and Modesto irrigation dis
tricts, who have been the head and
front of opposition to the acquisition
of the Hetch Hetehy water supply by
San Francisco ever since the project
was first broached.
The adoption of the resolution will
place the state on record, through its
legislators, as fayoring the Tuolumne
water scheme, so ardently championed
in san Francisco, and will leave the
senators and congressman nothing to
do but fight for it in Washin gton. In
the past Congressman Needham of the
sixth district has taken the side of his
constituents in Modesto and Turlock
whenever the project has been under
discussion.

WASHINGTON. Jan. A. Power
full opposition to the Hetch Hetchy
water project is developing here 1t is
manifested both in and out of con-

conspicuous. In New York McCutchen

who has recently appeared for E. III.
Hartman in important legal affairs.
The report is current that Spooner has
been retained by Spring Valley.
The subcommittee in charge Of the
Hetch Hetchy resolution met today and
received further objections from Repre-
sentatiyes Needham and Englebright.
Three members of the committee have
as many different outlines of the reso-
luton to be reported. and none of them
is willing to yield. Representative
Smith of California, chairman of the
subcommittee, insists that San Fran
cisco should not be granted a, patent

Attorney Thomas B. Dozier made
sorry spectacle of himself in Judge
Cabaniss' court yesterday as the re-
suit of a misunderstanding with Lewis
T. Byington. his associate in the de-
fense of James Treadwel, the indicted
banker Despite an arrangement be-
tween Byfngton and Assistant District
Attorney Cook that the case at its
calling should go over two days, be-
cause Cook had been called out of
town. Dozier in a bombastic speech
opposed any continue nee and bitterly
criticised the district attorneys Of
fee.
After Assistant District Attorney
Hanley had hoty retorted. Byington ap
peared and confirmed the statement
that he had agreed with Cook that the
case be continued.
This delay maketh the heart sick"
detained Dozier. when the two days
continuance was first suggested. We

mands it. Mr.. Treadwen should not

should also not be forgotten that Mr..
Dozier was for months engaged-un-
successfuny-in another celebrated
case. This grandstand play of his to-
day is the most ungracious thing I
ever heard Of. There is spleen be-
hind it"
Byington. entering court at this
stage, admitted his arrangement with
Cook for a short continuance.
We'll. you did not SO inform me- Mr..
Byington," Dozier cried, turning angrily
on his associate.
When a man has something in his
system he has to get it out" said Han
ley. Dozier started to talk about the
indecency of that expression, when
Judge Cabaniss interfered.
wIFE'S SMALL DEPOSIT
Judge Cabaniss announced that his
wife had a deposit of 81 in the Cali

pany when il became insolyent. If
the attorneys thought this disqualified
him he was quite willing that Judge Con-
ley should try the case; or, on the other
hand, he himself would try all the

The settlement of this point was left
in allegiance until tomorrow. when
Judge Conley will be in San Fran

REGENT IS BLAMED
FOR DISTURBANCE
Chinese Council Exonerated for
Completely in Dismissal of
Yuan Shi Kai

PEKING, Jan. 4-Two DAYS have
passed since the dismissal from office
of Yuan Shi Kai as national councillor,
and 1t is still impossible to determine
the future course of the Chinese gov
ernment or its inner composition. The
palace continues an enigma An edict
issued today relieves Ma Tung, sue
cessor to Yuan Shi Kai, of some of his
minor duties for the purpose of en-
abling him to discharge his new re-
sponsibilities; but the developments are
not sufficient to disclose the adminis-
trations plans.
Trustworthy circumstantial reports
exonerate the Chinese members of the
grand council from any completely in
the dismissal of Yuan Shi Kai. Tt is
understood that the decree of dismissal
was Unexpectedly laid, signed and
sealed. before the astonished council
men, At the same time discussion of it
was forbidden.
1t appears that Prince Ching, presi-
dent of the foreign board, visited the
palace on January l and received a
warning from the prince regent that
made him collapse. He has not since
returned to the palace. 1t is believed
that the regent submitted the proposal
to dismiss Yuan Shi Kai to Yuan Shi
Kai himself and Shi Tung. These two
men said the step was impossible and
their attitude resulted in a rupture
with the regent.
One section of the Peking press con-
siders Yuan Shi Kai's punishment 10
have been reasonable, while another
holds that his downfall shows the de-
cav of the government Native opinion
is practically unanimous that the dis
misssl is due to events that transpired
in 1898.

CHURCHES URGED
TO BE ADVERTISERS
Frederick E. Scotford Addresses
Methodists on Interesting
the Businessman

Church advertising con-
Quoted on an up to date business basis
and fearlessness on the part of the
ministers-was urged as the only
means of bringing the businessmen
into close touch with the churches by
Frederick E. Scotford of the Pacific
railways advertising company in an
address before the Methodist ministers
OF the city at Wesley Methodist Epis-
copal church yesterday
Speaking from a businessman's
standpoint. / have not lost interest in
religion" said Scotford Il have lost
interest in the way it is presented in
the churches today. Until the pulpit
takes the same fearless stand in mat
ters of right and wrong as that taken
by Francis J. Heney the churches
will never command the confidence of
businessmen. The ministers must dare
TO attack wrong, not only from the
pulpit but by getting right out in the
open and fighting. This is particularly
true in the graft situation"
With the churches brought up to a
sound business standing and with the
ministers daring to attack wrong and
upholding right regardless of the finan-
PEELED to make, Scotford urged that to
bring the busin essmen into the
churches only advertising would be
necessary.
The businessmen are used to adyer-
tising," said Scotford, and it will paw
you to approach them in this way. But
first of all, you must bring your
churches up to the standard 1 have
outlined. The churches are being run
with too much of an eye to the finan-
cial end. The ministers fear to at
tack wrongs that are apparent because
they are afraid to offend some wealthy
member of the congregation"
Urging that the ministers must gain
the confidence of the businessmen in
their ability as purveyors of religion.
Scotford outlined a church plan based
upon straight business methods He
divided the procedure into FIVE steps.
First, religion corresponding to mer-
chandise; second, the way the religion
is presented, corresponding 10 the
package of merchandise; third. the
ministers themselves corresponding 10
the salespeople: fourth. a proper ad-
vertising medium, and fifth, the keen
ing OF the business when once Sc
cured
No church individually can WELD
enough funds to advertise properly, but
a number OF churches combined. as, for
instance, combination of Methodist
churches, can gather enough funds to
do the work right" said Scotford. ..Ad-
vertise through the newspapers. The
real ministers of today are the editors
of the daily papers and the real pulpits
