fBv Associated Press.3

NHICAGO, June 21.-Prof. George B.
Foster of the University of Chi
~ cago. whose denial of the divinity
of Christ in a recent book stirred Chi
cago Baptists to a high pitch of re-
sentiment was dropped from the Bap-
tist ministers conference of Chicago
today.
Kisses, yeIs and general confusion
made the meeting one of the stormlest
ever held by churchmen in. Chicago,
and it was referred to by one preacher
as resembling a political meeting In
rowdy ward.
Speakers who had been howled or
Missed down, sat with flushed, indig-
nant faces, while the chair pounded for
order.
The insistence of DR.. A. C. Dixon of
the Moody church that Professor Fos-
ter be dropped, brought the fight
around to himself, the real object of
the meeting being disregarded for a
time
Rev. DR.. D. D. MeLaurin started
trouble by asking for a committee to
investigate DR.. DiXon's right to MEM
bership in the conference. This motion
was Kissed down and DR. Dixon ex
planned that he toined the Baptist
church in New York.
Boynton Kissed
DIR. M. P. Boynton was hissed when
he said:
We are not going at this matter right.
Foster is as good as Myers or any
one here, and" His voice was
drowned.
The Myers he referred to is the Rev.
DIR. Johnston Myers, one of the chief
assailants of Professor Foster.
DR.. Myers shouted above the din:
''It is no worse to hiss than to have
those present denounced as DIR. Boyn-
ton is doing. The Kisses should not be
stopped unless DR.. Boynton is stopped"
Dr. Myers attempted to introduce a
resolution to drop Professor Foster,
whereat his veracity was assailed by
Rev. DIR. A. H. Harnle"
"This matter was decided for good
and all last week." he shouted. "Dr.
Myers promised on his honor that IL he
did not get his resolution through then
he would not again bring it up. Now
he is doing exactly contrary to his
promise"
81 deny the statement" responded
DR.. Myers, coolly. 81 promised not to
reintroduce that particular motion be-
cause my motives had been questioned.
Specific charges were wanted, and that
is what I have here today"
After four hours debate the preach
ers adopted the resolution dropping
Professor Foster.

press their respect and regret, and he
held a reception which was repeated
as he stepped off the platform and
again at the auditorium door.
Lieut. Leeds, whose name as the
successor to Capt Fries frequently was
mentioned, came in for numerous
strong testimonials from leaders OF the
work for a free harbor. They agreed
that he was the most desirable and
best posted man to continue in charge
of this district. His familiarity with
the harbor and its development was
warmly commended by members of the
consolidation committees.
Another feature of the meeting was
the continued ovation given to Mayor
Alexander. Most of the persons in the
audience were his personal friends, and
they knew of his battle for the good
of the county. For this they cheered
him again and again before they would
allow him to speak, and they cheered
heartily when opportunity offered for
the record already made as mayor of
Los Angeles.
When it was suggested that Captain
Michael Duffy be given an opportunity
to defend the action of the city council
in considering the proposal of the
Southern Pacific and Banning compa-
nies the applause which greeted him
showed the confidence the people of
San Pedro had in his actions.
II asked them, said he, Are you
seeking this franchise on your land 2
and they replied, Yes When we came
to investigate it, however, we found
that not one foot of their land was in
cluded in the proposed franchise. AS
for myself, would not give the South
ern Pacific franchise anyway. The
Southern Pacific has followed me about
California and has gotten nearly all L
possessed. When L contemplated the
franchise I also supposed that the Ban
nings owned Mormon island. If they
do not, they will get nothing from me-"
The meeting was called to order by
DIR. W. A. Weldon, chairman of the
San Pedro consolidation committee,
who at once introduced Thomas e. Glib
bon of the Los Angeles harbor COM
mission as the first speaker.
Mr.. Gibbon reviewed the early his
tory of the development of San Pedro
harbor and the fight for more adequate
facilities. He showed in detail the con-
flict at Washington and the influences
behind Santa Monica in the efforts to
divert appropriations from San Pedro.
The older citizens of San Pedro in the
audience frequently verified the speak
er's recollections of the harbor history
of twenty years ago.
Mr.. Gibbon suggested, in a tribute to
the late Senator White, that If the trus-
tees of San Pedro wished to know how
the people remembered the loyalty of
man who safeguards their interests
that they journey to the courthouse for
an inspection of the White monument.
Frontage Lands Not Contested
AS an instance of the interest In San
Pedro harbor always taken by Los An
geles. Mr.. Gibbon referred to the fact
that the $500 feet of wharf frontage In
San Pedro along the channel, although
held by the Southern Pacific after vir-
tually admitting the city's title. was

History was made rapidly in the con-
solidation and harbor movement yes
terday, and there was much of 1t. Inc
meeting at San Pedro developed al
that friends of consolidation could ASK
even to the withdrawal of all request
for harbor franchises just before the
onening. but the leading topic was the
transfer of Captain Fries from the
los Angeles office of the corps OF engl-
neers. ~
bor at San Pedro and Wilmington were
stunned by the announcement, put II
seems inevitable that they YIN raiy
for an effort to lnduce Caplaln. : ~ ~
eventually to accept place with tle
citv of Los Angeles as harbor engineer,
thus regaining his service in making
one of the greatest ports OF the WoIlu
in Southern California. This will be
deprecated by Captain Fries, VINO Ieels
as an army officer that his place Is III
the regular service. but the sentiment
among the people of Los angeles couIl- II,c.
tv Is likely to be so strong Tor keeping
him that this solution seems certain.
II was not discussed at the meeting
last night .,-.,.,.,
The meeting itself was a remarkable
phase of the harbor movement. II
brought into clear relief that the appli-
cations for wharf franchises had
stirred uD d SlIOl6 ICSAAAAe ~ De@AA
dro for consolidation. The hall was
crowded, the gathering being larger
than the consolidation meeting last
week.
A noticeable feature was the presence
of the older citizens of the harbor
cities. men who followed most closely
the speakers who detailed the earlier
history of the harbor fight and who
al =. 4 afa6
ment the statements of the continued
attitude of the Southern Pacific IN
seeking to suppress the best interests of
the harbor city.
IT was an enthusiastic meeting, and
the conviction that consolidation Is a
settled thing was evident. If there was
any doubt as to this result it was dls.
sipated by the news of the leaving OF
Can't. Fries, in the minds of the friends
of consolidation.
To the close it was a meeting dis
playing determination, but when the
speakers had finished and telegram
which had just arrived was read tell
ing OF the removal of Capt Fries
there was a most evident depression:

trustees that honestly and fairly
represent the city of San Pedro;
and be it further
Resolved, that the very fact that
these franchises asked for at this
time and in this hurried manner of
the board of trustees Is an indica-
ton there is a collusion and an at
tempt to defraud the people of
their rights and that they are de-
sirous of using the board Of trus-
tees for their own private use in
such a manner that If they should
grant these franchises, that the
members of the board granting the
same will forfeit he respect and
confidence that has been accorded to
them by the citizens of San Pedro
and all persons who are interested
in the establishment of great free
harbor at San Pedro be 1t further
Takes Unfair Advantage
Resolved, that in the opinion of
this meeting that in the granting
of these franchises the municipality
of San Pedro is asked to take an
unfair and unjust advantage of
what will soon be a consolidated
city, which will have jurisdiction
ONCE lAilS pOI anu WI
templates the investment of $10,-
100000 that we may have harbor
for the use and benefit of the peo-
pie and not under private control;
and be 1t further
Resolved, that we believe that the
attempt to grab these franchises is
to create the same condition in that
advantageous part of the inner har-
Dor that the Southern Pacific has
been able to create in that portion
of the outer and inner harbor ad-
joining the city of San Pedro; and
be it further
Resolved, that while these appli-
cations are made by individuals
and seperate corporations, that in
truth and in fact all of the fran
chises, the wharf and the railroad
and the interurban franchises is
for the use and benefit of the South
ern Pacific railroad and is an at
tempt to obtain from the board of
trustees concessions that they know
that they are not entitled to and
that would never be granted by the
consolidated city, and they ask the
board of trustees to destroy their
standing as citizens and thus stig-
matize them as men who cannot be
trusted in public affairs.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-06-22

The resolutions are as follow
p Whereas, William Banning, ]. B.
Banning, Wilmington Transporta-
ton company Banning company
and Edward Mahar have applied to
the honorable board of trustees of
this city of San Pedro for five
wharf franchises, commencing 664
feet north of government station
o and extending south, east and
north along the main channel OF
the harbor to station 434, or there
abouts, a distance of 5000 feet long
and forty feet wide; and
Whereas, the Southern Pacific
Railroad company has applied to
the trustees for a franchise extend
ing along the pierhead lines cover
ing identically the same ground as
that over which the wharf fran
chises give jurisdiction, and in ad-
dition thereto, sixty feet of ground
adjacent to and parallel with the
bulkhead lines of said channel; and
Whereas, both of said franchises
are asked for over lands that are
owned, in fact, by the state of Cali
fornia, and which, Notwithstanding
certain parties, under misinterpre-
tat10n OF I0e law, nave ODldihCu a
color of title, will unquestionably
be recovered for the use and bene-
fit of the people, and if said fran
chises are granted to the parties
herein or any other parties, it Will
enable them to effectually prevent
the public from obtaining it's own;
and
Franchises Deceptive
Whereas, these franchises are
asked for by the respective parties
under the representation that they
are to extend around Mormon
island on land the title to which is
not questioned which representa-
tions are not true, but in fact the
franchises extend over land all of
which is known as tidelands, eX-
cept possibly few feet, and is In
truth and in fact public domain
and not in sense private property;
therefore be it
Resolved, by the citizens of San
Pedro and Los Angeles, in mass
meeting assembled, that we do
most emphatically protest against
the granting of these franchises
and do hereby characterize it as an
attempt to grab from the public
rights and privileges that never
should be granted and that never
will be granted by any board OF
