LECTURER TALKS ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Bliss Knapp of Boston Delivers
Interesting Address

Before an audience that filled Dream
land rink yesterday afternoon Bliss
Knapp of Boston, a prominent speaker
on Christian Science, delivered an in
teresting lecture. The speaker, who is
delivering a series of lectures on the
coast, is giving his local lectures under
the auspices of the Third Church of
Christ, Scientist.
The speaker spoke on the principles
and aims of Christian Science and it's
mode of operation. Knapp also spoke
on the work accomplished by Mrs.
Eddy. In part he said:
christian Science does not claim to
amend the bible, but 1t does emphasize
its spiritual meaning and seeks to in
terpret rather than to proclaim a creed
altogether new. 1t is therefore a sys-
tenn of spiritual teachings that i'm
proves the health and morals of human
ity. Every Christian believes that spir-
itual teachings should improve the
morals of men, but we have come to
recognize in Christian Science that
these same spiritual teachings, in their
larger and more scientific understand
ing, will so purify the minds of men
as to heal them of physical diseases

SEEK REFORM FOR
PAY CHECK system
Labor Leaders Prepare to Or
ganize Migratory Workers
on Railways and Quarries
Murder of Gray Brothers Book
Keeper Causes Attempt to
Remedy Conditions

Convinced that the moral responsible
ility for the murder of Carolina Brasch,
the book keeper for Gray brothers, the
contractors, who was shot and killed
by James Edward Cunningham, dis
satisfied employe, lies with the present
system of hiring and paying migratory
labor the committee appointed by sew
eral labor bodies to investigate the
tragedy of last July and report pos
sible remedy for the condition which
led to it, met yesterday at Building
Trades temple and began an active
campaign to organize the railroad and
quarry laborers.
The preliminary step of hearing the
grievances of the men will be left to a
committee of five, which will meet
within a week and report back to the
general committee in IA days.
1t is estimated that there are 10000
migratory" unorganized laborers en-
ployed in the city by the large railroad
contracting and construction firms.
PAY CHECK SYSTEM ATTACKED
According to the committee these
men are helpless victims of all the ills
the present relations of employer and
employs may promote. The employ
ment agencies are complained of as
well as several of the companies which
use the pay check system. To cir
cumvent these conditions the state fed
Grafton of labor has appointed a COM
mittee from its organization, from the
building trades council and the labor
council, with power to report on a plan
of action.
ffr1or III n
masney acted as temporary chairman
in the absence of Supervisor John o.
Walsh. The committee appointed to
consult with the unskilled migratory"
laborers consists of W. j. Flagler, ].
o. Walsh. E. E. Phillips, w. T. Dwyer
and David Roonan.
In speaking of the situation as it has
been discovered by the compittee,
Chairman Lomasney said:
These men are, in the first place,
unskilled and uniformed as to their
rights. They drift from place to place
as the work lasts and are the 'migra-
tory class in the labor world.
ORGANIZATION Is PROPOSED
"They are abused because they have
no protection from any labor organiza-
tion and so have to tolerate whatever
conditions they find. This is taken ad-
vantage of by the people who employ
them and our effort will be to rescue
them from the condition of base servi-
tude in which they find themselves.
Then they can insist on a reform of
the pay check system and the employ
ment agencies.
The murder of Caroline Brasch by
Cunningham was due to dispute in
volving $3.50 which was not credited
to Cunningham on a pay check The
pay check was made payable later than
Cunningham thought it should be and
the outcome of the matter was the
murder of the innocent book keeper
who was following instructions.
Cunningham declared that his treat
ment by his employers had enraged
him to the point of desperation

new FIREBOATS'
RUDDERS BALK;
So DO BOILERS
Vessels That Cost $l50,000
Each Show Tendency to
Travel Around Circle
Firemen Fear Explosions Be-
cause Steam Can Not Be
Kept Under Control

Rudders which refuse to steer and
boilers which do not hold steam are
some Of the defects developed in the
city's hreboats, the David Scanneu and
Dennis T. Sullivan, which were put into
commission recently and the indica-
tions are that the vessels viii have to
go into drydock for a general over
hauling before they viii be in a fit
condition 10 answer the purposes for
which they were built. They cost
sI5O.OOO each.
That there was something wrong
with the boats was made evident al
most at the outset, when they evinced
tendencies of going around in circle.
AS fancy sailing II was splendid eX-
hibitiOn, but
The board of public works, which
has been worrying over the boats for
a month, viii inspect the Dennis I.
Sullivan this morning in the hope that
a remedy may be found for the peculi-
arity Of the boilers which show a dis
inclination to hold steam.
STERN SETTLES IN WATER
Apart from this drawback, the stern
Of the vessel settles down in the water
like q load Of coal, with practically no
freeboard. The result is that every
time the boats run into rough weather
the decks are awash, and the fire crew
seeks safety in the bow, which, TO even
matters and strike general average,
points itself TO the stars.
In the engine room there are whis-
pers OF things which should not be.
On account Of its rotary inclinations,
although there was an expert pilot
on board. the Dennis T. Sullivan has al
ready bumped the Mission street wharf,
and along the water front there is a
firm belief that the day is not far dis
tant when one Of the boats will try TO
climb Twin peaks or Telegraph hill.
NAUTICAL CRUTCHES NEEDED
The condition of the vessels has been
kept as secret as possible. The civic
bodies were reluctant TO make public
the fact that the boats which were
launched in such glory and TO the tune
Of 100000 cold cash possessed un-
nautical tendencies. Their refusal to
steer is attributed TO the fact that the
stern is patterned too much like the
rear Of domestic duck and not enough
like that OF a sea going vessel. It is,
in fact looked upon by mariners as
nature taking of an extreme type, of
a desire to give to things maritime a
TOO rural and domestic atmosphere. To
remedy the error 1t viii be necessary,
II is said, TO provide the stern with a
"skag," which is a kind Of nautical
crutch TO a crippled vessel.
To add to the hilarity OF the fire.
saen. there is a half fear that the boil
ers may explode at any moment. This
charming disposition on the part OF
she boilers is believed TO be due to &
general cussedness and love for per
forming contrary to all expectations
They are Of the same type as those IL
the navy which have been blowing VI
with such regularity.
The masts Of the vessels are in splen-
did condition, and the paint is fresh.

AGED ACCUSER OF
YOUNG WIFE ROBBED
Woman Is Arrested for Stealing
$50 From A. j. Eaton

A J. Eaton. the aged retired jeweler,
who some time ago complained to the
police that his newly welded young
wife and dis son in law were trying TO
scare him to death with imitation
spooks. again sought the aid of the au-
thorities Saturday night, this time with
the complaint that Miss Birdie Chase.
young woman he met and took a liking
to Saturday night, had parted company
with him, taking with her on her sep
arate way $50 that had reposed in Ea
tons pocket
Policeman G. H. Ryan was detailed on
the case, and he soon discovered Miss
Chase at 1857 Post street. The woman
said she was a hair dresser, but she
was booked on charges of grand lar
ceny and vagrancy.
Eaton. who lives at 1910 Masonic ave-
nue., was said to be incapable of ham
ding his financial affairs last year. and
an effort was made to have a guardian
appointed for him. The old man sue
ceeded in never appearing when the
court inquiry to decide his mental pow
ers was called, so the guardian was not
named.

With the exception of the banquet
given at the formal opening of the

judging from present indications, there
will be at least 500 at the banquet.
Prominent among the speakers will
be Governor J. y. Gillett and Bishop

MacMANUS CHARMS
WITH HIS RAMBLES
Lecturer Depicts the Beauties
of the Emerald Isle

''Rollicking Rambles Round ireland" !"
the title chosen by Seumas MacManus
for his lecture Saturday night in the K.
r B. hall in Mission street, proved
quite appropriate. for the evening was
2 delightful stroll in the realms of
fairy lore. or song and poem and story.
through q wonderful country.
Mayor Mccarthy introduced Mac
manus, naming him as among the
greatest story tellers OF the world, a
remark which MacManus justified by
his opening sentence, which reused a
storm Of applause
Some cynical American has said" he
began, that Ireland was made to sup
ply America with policemen and poll
ticians, and the saying seems true, as,
always on the lookout for my own
countrymen. in travelling in a small
town in Arkansas I found there were
only two in the whole town and one
was chief Of police. the other was
mayor"
Then came a series of a hundred Ian
tern slides depicting the Irish at their
richest and their poorest. at work and
at play in their home life and in the
life Of a great city.
The rambles began with the city oi
Derry, where the best whisky is made
and followed along by the Giants
causeway and the wishing chair
through Belfast and Dublin and ali the
castles and lakes and valleys and
towns Of the Emerald Isle. Pictures
Of the thatched roof cottage, of the
colleen drawing water or riding hel
donkey to the bog for peat, the Irish
boy leaving IN the morning for
work, his luncheon in his coIored
kerchief, the jaunting car and the old.
est 5ehU IN the island, the old church
yards, round towers and crosses and Z
thousand and one other things wer.
shown and explained by MacManus In
MS inimicable way with the soft hal
brogue that characterizes his speech.
In connection with the ILLUSTRATED
lecture splendid musical program wa
given. Among those who sang an,
danced were: Mrs. Daisy Keane Gil
logley. NJ J. Lawless, J. O'Connell an,
son, Miss Clara Coyne, Miss Francs
Keith, P. J. Keleher and Dan Cotter
The evening ended with a ball.
