ASCENDANT OF PENN's FRIEND.
Ancestor of Philadelphia Clergyman
Was an Adviser of Founder.

Almost within a stones throw of
the plot of ground where William
Penn made his treaty with the Indians,
and in a church whose membership
consists mainly of descendants of old
colonial settlers, a historical sermon
was preached Sunday night on the
life of William Penn by clergyman
who boasts of being the great-great-
grandson of one of the Pennsylvania
founders dearest friends and counsel,
ors. The church is the Emmanuel
Episcopal at Girard avenue and MARI
borough street, and the minister Rev.
Edward Giles knight.
According to the clergyman, there
has always been Giles knight. About
so years ago, because one generation
forgot to name any of the boys Giles.
one of the family had his first name
changed by special act of legislature.
Giles Knight, the first, came to this
country with William Penn in the good
ship Welcome in 1852, and when the
compact with the Indians was made

CROSSED OCEAN ALONE AT FOUR.
Small Boy Did Not Know His Mother
Until She Spanked Him.

One of the passengers who walked
down the gangplank of the steamship
New York when she locked here Sat
urday was William G. Hamburg four
years old. who crossed the ocean
alone, says the New York Press.
Among the persons waiting on the pier
to greet incoming passengers was
Mrs. Hamburg, his mother. With a
cry Of motherly love she rushed to-
ward the sturdy youngster with out
stretched arms. She had not seen
him for three years. During that time
he had been living with his uncle in
Regent street, London. Mrs Hamburg
was grieved when she discovered that
her boy did not know her
Let me alone" the little fellow ex-
claimed, tearing himself loose from

To escape his mother he ran into
the arms of Herbert Hickwell, stew

San Francisco through yelling, shoot
Jig crowds quite as fearlesSly as Far
ley, who was used to that sort of thing.
After a few weeks Farley's men had
gotten control of the situation, and
their chief went elsewhere to another
job. The strike was not actually over
for two or three months, however, and
finally it was crushed completely, oW-
ing to Calhoun's iron nerve and tenac-
it, of purpose. 1t passed into history
as one of the most bitterly fought
traction strikes in the history OF
America.
Then came the earthquake and fire,
and shortly after this was the alleged
bribery of the supervisors, for which
Calhoun is to stand trial. The earth
quake had damaged the cable system
so that it was not possible to repair
it except at a cost that practically
would ruin the tramWay company.
There are 16 steep hills in San Fran
cisco, and it was thought by many ex-
perts that an electric system would
not work successfully, as the cars could
not be controlled on the heavy grades.
But the overhead trolley was the
cheapest means of rehabilitating the
TRANSPORTATION lines Therefore Cal
houn made formal application to the
city for the privilege of installing that
system. The matter languished. The
former owners of the property and
others saw chance to buy it in cheap,
and may have used various means of
delaying the granting of the new fran
chise that Calhoun asked for. Mean
time money was flowing into San
Francisco from all parts of the coun-
try for the relief of the sufferers from
the great disaster.
The Alleged Bribery Deal.
Just about this time Calhoun depos-
tied some 100000 in the United
States Sub Treasury, which was the
only financial institution open, all the
banks having been put out of bust
ness temporarily by the earthquake
and fire. Whether the money was for
relief purposes or bribery is the ques-
| ton. 1t is alleged Calhoun paid this
money with the full knowledge that
Ruef and Schmitz would get it, and
| that the trolley franchise would be his
| in return. Sure enough, Ruef and his
| followers did get hold of this 100000
and the board of supervisors granted
the franchise for the overhead trolley
that Calhoun had prayed for. The
cars of the United Railway are run
by that sort of motive power to-day
That, in brief, is how the alleged bri-
berry by Calhoun came about.
The mayor of the town was Eugene
Schmitz, once orchestra leader in a
concert hall, and later the boss of all
the labor organizations that ruled San
Francisco. Ruef was a Republican
ward politician. Ruef and Schmitz
got together and Ruef showed Schmitz
how money could be squeezed from
San Francisco like water from a wet
sponge The whole machinery of the
municipal government was organized

was an earnest adviser of his chief.
Like William Penn, Giles Knight had
quarreled with his father, then mayor
of Bristol, England, over religious mat
tiers, and he sought refuge in this land
that he might worship his Creator in
his own way, and when and how he
pleased.
In his sermon DR.. knight did not
touch upon his relationship with the
colonist, but devoted his talk to par
ticulars of PENIS early life.

church proud of his ancestry is John
P. Eyre, one of the vestrymen, whose
great-grandfather at one time owned

boy on the voyage to New York. Mrs.
Hamburg advanced once more, but her
boy refused to have anything to do
with her

she inquired. I'm your mamma"
You're not, and I don't like you,'
the little fellow said, and he cuddled
closer to Hickwell.
Finally Mrs. Hanbury became angry.
She took the youngster, gave him a

that his conviction was illegal. Prose

again. Ruefs bail was fixed at $780,
