for the first time to the public. Three
years of preparation epreceded the gath
ering of the treasures under one roof
During that time Mayor Mott, who con-
ceived the idea and developed it, and
the few persons who gave him aid have
gathered whatever collections were ac-
cessible in this region.
The new institution has not had the
advantage of any generous private do
nations. Yet it will open with high
recognition from similar and world
famous foundations.
Two reasons establish this fact. One
is that Charles P. Wilcomb, the scien-
tist chosen by the board OF library
trustees to direct the museum work
is in close relations to the heads OF
greatest museums of the world. He
has been able through this intimacy to
trade Californian specimens for some
from foreign shores, which are rarely
seen on this coast
SOME VALUABLE EXHIBITS
The other distinctive feature of the
new Oakland museum is the value OF
some of its possessions. Among them
the famous E. L. Mcleod collections OF
native Indian baskets ranks high. This
is the most exploited collection in Cali
fornia; it is the last great collection
which has been left here, all Others
reposing in eastern or European mu-
seums The Smithsonian Institution
reproduces pictures of them in its
catalogue.
This collection is lent by Mrs. G. H
TAYLOR of Fresno, sister OF the late
collector The city has obtained an
option and eventually will become the
owner One is a rare specimen OF
ceremonial basket used by Califor-
hian tribe only on greatest bridal oc-
casions, the base of which is decorated
with red knapp taken from the crests
of the red headed woodpecker. Tc
make one basket at least 300 birds
were killed.
MANY COLONIAL UTENSILS
Perhaps of greater common interest
is the superb collection of colonial
utensils and household goods. whicf
was secured by Curator Wilcomb last
year from the New England states
Among them are implements so antique
and rare that the Smithsonian Insti'
tuition has replicas, not the originals
which may be seen here. The Golden
Gate park museum has 500 colonia
specimens; the Oakland museum has
1900.
There are three rooms in the base
ment of the building. One is colon

curator for II years has won him his
reputation, will have charge of the
future development.
ONE CASH SUBSCRIPTION
The only subscription of cash from
private suorces was that of $1,000
given by F. M. Smith. The first ex-
hibit obtained in 1907 was the Bryant
collection of birds, one of the best in
the state. It has been completely rem
ovated and artistically mounted.
In the department of anthropology
of North America have been placed
the Indian basketry exhibits grouped
with industrial, warfare, ceremonial
and ornamental specimens.
A collection of baskets made by the
almost extinct Chetimacha tribe of
south Louisiana is of unusual interest.
These were obtained for the museum
by Mrs. Bradford, the noted woman
the lost art of basketry among her
people.
TEACHER FOR CHILDREN
An important branch of the museum
is the children's room. The city has
retained Mrs. de We're, an experienced
nature teacher, who will lecture to
classes of school children.
The children's room has space de-
voted to history, shellfish, birds, insects
and industries. 1t was for children,
chiefly, that Mayor Mott intended the
museum
There are two rooms for Pacific ISL
ands specimens and African exhibits.
Somewhat akin are the contents of one
case containing weapons used by civ
ilized men in actual warfare.
In the children's room may be seen
complete issues of American coins, rare
specimens of foreign monies, and with
these curious, queer old copper, gold
and silver pieces, used by nations
which long ago disappeared
Special articles to be, seen are yell
low silk tablec1oth used by an emperor
of China; hand painted scrolls. fans
and Buddhist idols, some of which were
decorated by the empress dowager of
China.
Every specimen in the museum has
been scientifically classified by Gu
rator Wilcomb. The result is the most
accurately classified and scientifically
arranged museum in America.

what few cities ever accomplished, y

ISeeciaI Dispofch 10 The Call

FRESNO, Oct. 21.-Thev Jews of Doc
tor Franklin Day, professor of Hebrew
exegis and Old Testament literature at
the san Francisco theological seminary
at San Anselmo. as to the author of the
Pentateuch were declared by the COM
missioners of the synod of California
and Nevada today to be unsatisfactory
because incompatible with the stand
ards Of the Presbyterian church in the
United States Of America as interpreted
by her highest court" The ruling of
thee ommis issioners is tantamount to the
dismissal Of Doctor Day from the sem
mary. Doctor Day asserted that the
Pentateuch was not written by Moses.
DEBATE GROWS WARM
The commissioners reached their de-
cision only after hours of earnest de-
bate. which bOrdered closely on per-
sonalities. Rev. J. w. Densmore. who
conducted the prosecution, used the
word heresy in citing parallel circum-
stances from previous heresy trials of
the church.
DR. Wicher who spoke for DIR. Day,
asserted that If DR.. Days views are
heretical, il follows that the book on
the "Old Testament and Its Contents" ="
published by the Presbyterian church
Tor instruction ana written DN fEOl.
James Robertson of Glasgow university,
IS also heretical.
Rev. Lynn T. White. who assisted in
the defense of DR.. Day, aroused a
storm OF Kisses and cries of 'Bosh."
when he stated that if DR.. Day were
offered up in a sacrificial fire for the
sake Of peace there would lie 80 more
sacrificial fires buring within the synod
in a short time. around which the Pres
bvterians would gather.
But ONE OF IL QUERIES
This covers but one Of the Il ques-
tions submitted TO Doctor Day in an
investigation which was carried on as
only on this one question. it is con-
sidered as indicative of the general
attitude of the synod toward the
higher criticism"
Doctor Day. In a short preamble to
his owr remarks, stated that he be-
lieved in the virgin birth Of Christ,
although he did not consider the di-
rectors had a right to question him on
matters outside of his department. He
affirmed impressively that he did not
believe that Moses wrote the Penta-
teuch, excepting a possible nucleus,
that there was no statement in the
bible TO show that he did. that while
the decisions of the general assembly
are worthy of respect. they do not
constitute the law of the church, and
that the Westminster confession did not
refer TO the matter under discussion.

said Mayor Iiott, Sin starting our own
municipal museum. Most cities have
generous private gifts to begin the
work and to erect buildings. Our pur-
pose will be to increase our exhibit
without great expense to the property
owners until the public feels that the
time has come to provide a fire proof
and suitable structure.
The collections we now have belong
almost entirely to the city. Those
that are lent l am sure we will be
able to acquire, for we have options on
them. Our idea is to provide an in
stitution of general interest which will
add to the fame of the city and at the
same time be an indispensable adjunct
to the educational system. The museum
Will be used by the public schools, as
we have planned from the start to
teach the pupils what they can not
learn from books

Gators and philanthropically disposed
men anod women of Washington on in
dustrial education in the south.
There are two things working to-
ward the solution of the negro prob
lem," said the press Z Zone is the
development of interest among the bet
ter class of the Southerners in the eiu-
cation of the negro, and conscious
ness of the fact that nothing will so
much help the South as such education.
The South, until the last cecace, had a
dreadfully hard time to support the
government of her States, without edu-
cation, but now the South is getting
richer. am delighted to have l5-cent
cotton, whether it be high or not, be-

Remarks Made by Negro Whom
Halliday Cortege Passes Causes
Renewal of Bitter Feeling.

Cairo, Ill.-Company H of Shelbyville
of the Illinois National Guard was Sun
day ordered to report here by Adutant-
General Dickson.
Police officers are searching the city
for negro suspected of purse snatching,
and another clash between the authori-
ties and the citizens is feared if the man
ia caught.
Nearly 600 persons attended Halliday 5
funeral, and accompanied the body to
Mounds, ILL.,, in special train. As the
train was passing through the negro dis
trict east of Cairo negroes collected on
the streets to watch its passage.
At Thirty-frst street, members of the
funeral party charge, an insulting demon
stration was made.
An effort was made to organize party
on the train during the return trip to
Cairo to wreak summary revenge on the
negroes, but no disturbance resulted.
The home of Sheriff Nellis is guarded
by the militia and he is given military
escort when he leaves the courthouse.
Popular feeling is against him for using
negro deputies and allowing Halliday's
body to lie in front Of the Jail for three
hours.
The ministers in their pulpits for the
most part Sunday united in urging the
citizens to support the law. The Rev.
Frank Thompson of the First Christian
Church said in part:
