BAPTISTS PLAN FOR
PORTLAND MEETING
Oakland and San Francisco
Delegates Will Leave on
Special Train June e

OAKLAND, June 15.-Many Oakland
Baptists are preparing to leave for
Portland next week to attend the an
nual northern Baptist convention. The
Oakland delegates and visitors to. the
convention will join forces with the
pilgrims from San Francisco. leaving
here in a special car June %. Rev.
L. J. Sawyer, pastor of the Hamilton
Square Baptist church, San Francisco,
will be in charge of the special car.
The northern Baptist convention is
a new organization, representing the
Baptist churches north of the Mason
and Dixon line, and formed by the con-
solidation of the American Baptist
home mission society, the American
Baptist missionary union, and the
American Baptist publication society.
Only once before have these societies
met on the Pacific coast, and this years
convention will afford an exceptional
opportunity for the people of the east
and middle west'to see the progress
of Baptist work on the Pacific coast.
The sessions of the convention will
be held in the famous White Temple,
the meeting place of the First Baptist
church of Portland. The temple, which
is valued at $500, 000 seats about 1900
and is provided with commodious ante
rooms and other convention conven-
fences. The convention will open June
25 and continue through the following
week. Rev John BentZien, 511 Mar
guam building, Portland, Ore, is sec
rotary OF the convention committee,
and will respond to all inquiries for
informa ton concerning local arrange
ments.

EVENTS BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
JOHN CLAUDIANES
TO BE LIBERATED
Case Against Alleged Dynamiter
to Be Dropped for Lack
OF Evidence

OAKLAND, June 15.-It is not prob
able that John Claudianes will be tried
for his part in the Gallagher dynamit-
ing outrages. When his case is called
Friday morning in Judge Woods court
it is likely that District Attorney Dom
ahue will request the court to dismiss
the charge against him. Lack OF evil
dence to convict will be the reason
for this request.
The final decision as to this course.
however, rests with District Attorney
Langdon of san Francisco.
The case against John claudianes is
not nearly as strong as that against
his brother, Peter, who Is now serving
life sentence for dynamiting the
Schenck home in East Oakland. which
was occupied by Gallagher at the time.
Peter ClaudiaRes admitted that he did
the actual dynamiting. and Johns con-
fession corFoboFated him
That these confessions can be used
in evidence against John Claudianes Is
extremely doubtful A. l. Friek, his
attorney, has said that he will block
all efforts to use them and expressed
confidence that he would clear his
client if the trial was forced. Recently
he was given an intimatfOn that the
trial would not be forced. as the pros
ecuting officials recognized that IL was
impossible to convict the defendant
This is considered to be the real reason
why the Claudianes trial was eontin-
used yesterday until Friday.
John Claudianes was the FIRST Of the
two Greek boys to confess. and it was
on information furnished by him to
District Attorney LangdOn that his
brother, Peter, was apprehended The
brothers had little to say to each other
in the county jail while Peter was
waiting trial, as he was resentful of
his brothers part in bringing about
his arrest Both OF them implicated

saying that he had employed them to
kill Gallagher so that he could not
testify in the graft cases.

WORKERS ON THE DOE
LIBRARY Go ON STRIKE
Union Electricians Quit When
College Employees Assist

BERKELEY. June 15.-Refusing to
continue while university employees
were assisting with the electrical and
metal work on the Doe library, the
100000 structure being erected at
the university, 100 union electricians
and metal workers laid down their
tools yesterday afternoon.
As to the causes of the strike, the
men who were working on the struc-
ure seem to differ. Some are OF the
opinion that change in the wage
scale has been ordered. which is de-
MED by the university authorities.
Others say the university man who are
working with them are not union men.
The men employed by the university
are working under the direction OF
Howard Davis. who was ordered to in
stall the steam fitting and wiring with
the men regularly employed by the
mechanics department of the univer-
sity. These men, according to a state
law, are forbidden to afiliate with a
union.
Should the strike continue as threat
ened the building. which will be the
largest and most handsome on the
campus, will have the same difficulties
as attended the building Of the mining
building. finished long after the
scheduled time.

AWARDED
TO T[NCH'S WIDOW
Superior Judge Waste Decides
Alameda Case After Long
and Bitter Wrangle

OAKLAND, June 15.-Judgment in
favor of aged Mrs. Elizabeth Tench- of
Alameda, who married John Tench, an
old resident, on his deathhed two years
ago was given today by Judge Waste
after long and bitter fight in which
Mrs. Tench was arrayed against Mrs.
Eliza McMeekin, also of Alameda, for
the possession of the property Tench
left.
The court sustained the contention
of Mrs. Tenchs attorney, r. B. Tap
pan, that Mrs. McMeekin had never
legally come into possession of the
Teneh home in Alameda, and that her
friend. Mrs Isadore Brandt. of Ala
media, who was named as defendant
in the case also, was not entitled to
the old mans handbook.
Six months before Tench's death he
gave his sister, Temperance Tench, a
deed to the home. which has a value
of $4,000. He also turned over to her
his handbook, which called for $1,1O0.
The understanding was, however. that
she was to hold this property in trust
for him until his death, when his sister
was to have it. Soon after Mrs. Nc
Meekin induced Temperance Teneh to
give her the deed and to give Mrs.
Brandt the handbook Temperance
Tench died a little while after these
last transfers, and her brother died
soon after her.
Judge Waste held that the only in
terest Temperance Teneh ever had in
the property was as trustee, and that
she had no authority to dispose of It..
