DELAY WORKS HARM
TO MINING IN STATE
Geological Survey Scored by
Aubury for Failure TO
Compile 1908 Report
MineraEOgist Declares Federal
Bureaus Hardness Looks
Like CareIessness

In answer 10 many requests for sta
tistics concerning the gold and silver
production Of California for 1908 the
state mining bureau has issued form
al statement denying its own respon-
sibility for the delay in the prepara-
lion OF such statistics and censuring
the United states geological survey for
alleged negligence in the matter.
II is pointed out in the statement
that the gold and silver production
statistics are not prepared by the state
board. as this would entail an un-
necessary expense in view OF the fact
that the government prepares such
statistics The delay of the govern
ment department is denounced as In
explicsble" and il is asserted that the
figures viii be OF but little value when
finally made public. Ii is also stated
that the state mining bureau com
pIeted its statistics covering 45 diff
ferent mineral substances by July. but
that the geological survey has taken
over 10 months in compiling statistics
on only two substances.
BLAME GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
The statement issued by the state
mining bureau follows:
The mining interests Of the state are wonder
jng why the annual statistics OF gold and
silver production Of California for Dos have
not been made public. Some time since the
ftate mining bureau issued figures Of prcduc-
lion for al other mineral substances, and many
requests have since been made to state Miner
slogist Aubury 10 supply those OF the precious
metal hut that official. IN an interview. stated
that the state mining bureau never did collect
the figures Of precous metal production, prin-
cipsliy FOR the reason that the government
through the United States mint. was in better
position 10 obtain the figures than state insti-
rufion. Besides. the government annually
collected the sta tisfics, IL would place an IN
necessary expense upon the state When the
statistics were collected by the mint they were

INCOMPETENT OR CARELESS
About three years sgo the mint turned the
work the United States geological sur
vey. and since that time the survey has sup
Instead Of the survey improving on the system
OF the United States mint each year the sta
tistics are longer delayed. Whether this should
be charged 10 incompetency or carelessness, is
not known.
California is probably more ritally inter
any other state excepting Colorado. and the
Withholding OF the statistics from the press
of this state is inexplicable. At the same time.

The state mining buresu completed its sta

mineral substances. yet II has taken the United

NO COMPLAINT ON FILE
AGAINST DOCTOR WEST
Case Charging Him With MUIR
der Is Continued

When the case of DIR. Eugene r.
West, charged with the murder of Miss
Leora HENDERSON OF Santa Rosa. was
called in Police Judge Shortalrs court
yesterday there was no complaint on
file. The dead girls father, John Hen
drison. was called TO the stand, and in
reply to the judge said he knew abso-
]utely nothing personally about the
case, only that his daughter was dead.
''Will you swear to a complaints"
asked the judge, and HENDERSON replied
that he would.
DO you know anything Of the facts ?p
asked Attorney Carroll Cook, who rep
resents West. and Hendrison replied in
the negative. Well, then" retorted
Cook, how can you swear to a com
plaint?"
The judge continued the case until
next Thursday and instructed Assistant
District Attorney Louis Ferrari to see
II a complaint could not be sworn to
by some one cOnversant with the facts
before that time
Detective James Regan, who has been
working on the case, said later that he
would swear 10 complaint and let the
matter be fought out in court.

shooting ARRAY aboard fast-moving
Fort Worth & Denver freight train
near here tonight. According to
Fred Garrett of Fort Worth, a rel

men killed, the two were attacked
by third man, presumably, he de-

The shooting followed. The body
of the other participant, which has
not been identified, was found in the
Red river, where it had been thrown
or fallen. The train crew knew moth

by Garrett. They found Aubrey NOR.

flour in the local market and pur-
chase an equal amount of -four at
some seaport for expectation. This
would save him the transportation
charges from Minneapolis to the sea-
port, it is said and the manufacturer
would at the same tim secure his
draw back on the -four exported. I'm
der the present law the flour export
ed would have to be made from the
imported wheat in order to secure
the drawback. The ways and means
committee claims, however, that the
new drawback is for the benefit Of
the honest exporter who has been
laboring under a disadvantage be-
cause INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
have taken advantage Of the difficult
ty of enforcing the Dingley draw
back provision. It is also commended
that the new drawback section ex-
tends this privilege to many indus
tries which ave been unable to make
use of it, and that for this reason it
will encourage manufacture in this
country.
One amendment to the Payne bill
which has the support of the ways
and means committee and which
probably will be submitted as COM
mittee amendment, is that provision
of the section regarding maximum
duties, which declares that further
duty to the mother country by de-
tendency colony will not be consid-
cred a discrimination against the
United States, should also apply in
the case Of the mother. COUNTRY
granting lower tariff to a dependency
or colony. The latter provision
was overlooked by the committee,
and caused irritation on. account of
it's affect in reaching agreements
with foreign countries, the, omission
of the additional provision being
characterized as being unfair because
Of the Philippine free trade privil-
eye. The rice and distributing in
terests of the United States are ap-
prehensive as to the effects ION their
industry of the new tariff bill per-
hitting the free entry of that staple
from the Philippines. .sszs4
Today representatives of that in
dustry had conference with Secre-
tary of War Dickinson and secured
his consent to an amendment to the
bill providing that when rice is i'm
ported from the islands for CONNER
cial purposes free of duty the pres
ident is to impose on rice coming in
to the. Philippines from any foreign
country duty equal to the amount
imposed on SUCH imports entering
the United States from foreign coun-
tries. O@facials of the insular bu-
reaus stated 1t will be q lopg time

ment, | will say that | have no faith in
its divinity. Nobody knows who wrote
the manuscripts that compose the New
Testament Those manuscripts were not
divided into verses or punctuated until
the fifteen century. Jesus never wrote a
line of the testament.
The reason why [ say the New Tesla
ment is worse than the old is this The
old does not threaten us with everlasting
punishment; the new promises to enguf
every human being who does not believe
and is not baptized, into hell of fire and
birthstone. | utterly despise that fiendish
dogma and defy it. 1t is lie and was
cOncocted by the priests to scare the people
into the church and make them willing to
give up their cash. There has been no
crime too fendish for the Christian to
commit. The rack, the gibbet, the dun
geon, the flaming torch, the numbering of
thousands of women supposed to be witch
es,-all these instruments of torture were
invented by the pious and over-zeaous
Christian savages. The church would still
kill the heretics if it dared 20 do it, but
the infdels have called halt on that gra-
cious pastime. They no longer dare to
kill people for their belief. There are
but few intelligent people now who believe
in the immaculate conception of Jesus
Christ. If he existed at all, he was con-
ceived and born of human father and
mother A belief in the supernatural is a
superstition everything that ever existed
or happened was due to a natural cause.
All the Gods that were ever set up were
devised by the human brain, including
Jehovah. All the devils and demons,
ghosts and fairies, heavens and hells are
the inventions of the human race Science
knows nothing of these things. Science is
the only savior of mankind. Love and
work, and the happiness derived therefrom
are the chief end of mankind.

a burned word he said, and the boss did
not know what they said to him. So they
gave up the enterprise. The tower is
known as the tower of Babel. And that
is how the different languages and dialects
several hundreds of them came about.
Does that story appeal to yonr reason?
Old man Jonah was ordered by Jehovah
to 90 over to Ninevah to preach. The old
man did not want to go; it was a three
days journey; 800 miles as the bird would
fly SO he decided he would not go, but
he started down towards the east coast of
the Mediterranean Sea to take boat ride,
but on his way he became very sleepy and
sat down by the roadside and fell into
deep sleep When he walked next morn
ing he found a great gourd plant had
grown up during the night and 1t over
Swallowed him. A large worm attacked
the plant Immediately and the plant soon
withered and died. OF course, God pre-
pared the gourd and the worm to show the
old man that he must not disobey the com
mand of the Lord Jonah got busy and
went down to the little town of JOppa,
where boats did their trading with the
people in that section. The old man climb
ed aboard the first boat that cleared the
port. Soon after the start, great storm
came up and the sailors becoming alarmed
knew that some evil genius was on the
boat; SO they drew cuts to decide who
should be cast into the sea to quiet the
storm; Jonah drew the unlucky card and
was cast overheard. A great fish swal-
lowed him, and he was in the nav Of that
fish for three days and three nights, when
the fish cast him upon dry land. To get
around the absurdity of this story, DR..
Tamadge said the man might have rested
in the mouth of the fish and not been
swallowed at all. If that were true, how
did the man get air to breathe? Another
miracle.
Elijah was bald-headed prophet of the
Lord. Forty-two children were playing
around his home, and in tkeir childish
glee they pointed their fingers at him and
called him cold baldhead;;" and to
avenge this prophet dignity the Lord
prepared two she-bears which attacked
these children and tore them to pieces
all of them Did God cause the children
To stand still until each ones turn came
to be torn to pieces! If he did not, then
the story is absurd. The children would
have scampered in every direction and the
bears would have gotten but few Of them.
The story sounds more like the work Of "A
brutal savage than the work of a loving
God. Who can believe this absurd story
TO be true? Moses saw God on Mt. Sinai

Elisha was taken TO heaven in chariot
of fire. Again the law of gravitation was
suspended. Another miracle was perform
ed.
Joshua commanded the sun to stand
still for the space of four hours while he
made war against the Philistines, and kill
ed many hundreds of them. The machin-
cry of the universe cannot be made to stop
at the command of any man or any god.
The prophet Ezekiel met up with some
wood-choppers, where a tree had been fell
ed across deep stream Of water. While
chopping off the limbs the axe flew off the
handle and sunk to the bottom of the
stream. Zeke took little stick and struck
the surface of the water, and the axe
foated to the top so that the aXe-man
could get it. Iron being heavier than wa
ter, the axe could not float except by
miracle. Do you believe that happened?
About four years ago, DR.. Cadman, pas
tor of the Metropolitan NJ. Z. Church, Of
New York City, read a paper before a
meeting of 400 preachers, with Bishop An
drews in the chair. In the course of his
speech he said the time had come when
the church must cease to hold up the old
Bible stories as the inspired word of God,
for the reason that those stories are I'M
reasonable and unbelievable by intelligent
men. He advised them to leave out of
their preaching the fall of man in the gar
den of Eden, the story Of the food, the
story Of Lot wife, the building of the
tower of Babel, and the confusion of
tongues, Jonah and the whale, etc.
In the foregoing discussion | have not
touched the fiendish crueties and savagery
practced against the people of Jehovah s
armies, by direct command Of God. 1t was
the study of these things that caused me
to reject the Christian religion as a divine
institution. Bad as the Old Testament
is, with its savagery, murders, incest, hui
man slavery, the brutal, iendish barbara
ties committed by the soldiers of God s
armies, debauching the young girls whom
they captured, throwing stones into their
pure white breasts, dragging men under
