MENTAL m. D."
TELLS OF WORK
Emmanuel Movement Is Reli,
giOn in Its Primitive Sense,
Says DR.. Shields

The great work that can be accom-
plished by the Emmanuel movement
and the history of its original forma-
tion were the subjects of two speeches
delivered to large audiences yesterday
morning and evening by DR.. A. B.
Shields, who was in charge of the
Emmanuel work at st. Luke's hospital.
The morning address was in Trinity
church, Bush and Cough streets, while
that in the evening was in Holy Inno-
cents church, Fair Oaks and Twenty
fourth streets.
At the morning service Doctor
Shields was introduced to the audi
ence by Rev. Frederick W. Glampett.
pastor OF Trinity church. Rev. Clam
petit expressed the desire that the work
go on Immediately, and spoke in the
highest terms of Doctor Shields. He
also predicted great future for the
Emmanuel movement on this coast
In his address Doctor Shields said
This Emmanuel movement does not
contain anything new. IT is not a new
cult and still less a sect. This move
ment is a combination of elements al
ready in existence. 1t is religious in
fits primitive Christian sense, where
dogma was of little Importance and
where life was of great Importance.
IT is in harmony with the best medical
science. 1t is. in line with work ac-
conplished by the French at the Sal
patrie, Paris, 30 years ago.
In concluding Doctor Shields ex-
planned the many different cures ef-
fected by the movement.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
MAY GET PENSIONS
Superintendent Hyatt Will SUBJ
nit Provision to the Next
Legislature
Also Plans Measure Providing
for Free Transportation
for Pupils

Los ANGELES, May with the in
dorsement of the convention of school
superintendents, which closed yester-
day In Riverside, Edward Hyatt, state
superintendent of education, left to-
day for Sacramento to work out plans
for laws providing state funds for the
pensioning of superannuated teachers
and for free transportation for chill
dren who live more than two miles
from a school
Both projects win be submitted to
the legislature at its next session.
Hyatts task is to provide a way for
raising the funds without increasing
school taxes directly.
Tentative plans contemplate the en-
ployment of the collateral Inheritance
tax to meet the demands of the pen
sion and transportation funds. This
amounts to between $1.00O,O0O and
$1,200,0O0 year
The proposal of free transportation
Tor children was the result of reports
that numerous families who lacked
travelling facilities refused to send
their children to school and the COM
pulsory law could not reach them.

HALLEY'S COMET
IS DISAPPOINTING
BlaSe Watchers Find Little to
Thrill in Sight of the Sky
Wanderer
Tail Looks Like Flying Fuse of
Spent Rocket - Really
Harmless, You Know

"Aw. that comet doesn't look very
yesterday morning after he had com
muned through the early hours with
Mr.. Halley's namesake. TT looks more
like a spent rocket, carelessly descend
ing with only the last lights of its fuse
burning, than like anything else 1 know
OF, and if it would speed up a bit it
would be more worthy Of notice; but 1t
is a very leisurely vehicle"
That was the first blase impression
Of naked eye sight of Halley's wan
derer. returning TO earth after 70 years
Of exile.
For several weeks the early morning
folk on the streets of the city-police-
men, milk wagon drivers, chauffeurs
and their freight and other persons at
large about 3 oclock-have been strain
ing their eyes to see the marvel of the
heavens.
IT was in view yesterday morning
from $3.50 TO o'clock. People living
west Of Third and Kearny streets
located it as above the top of the Claus
Spreckels building and toward the
northeast. 1t did not show as bright
as the morning star Venus. But it was
readily distinguished from the planet
of dawn by its tail. which was reported
by some observers to be about 100 times
as long as the diameter of the head.
The apparition created much excite
ment throughout the city. Many peo-
pie stayed up through the night or got
out Of their beds to see the comet, and
there was a general opening of win+
dows and craning of necks, accompa-
MED by the rubbing of sleep laden eyes
to view the sky traveller.
But it did not look very dang erous,
said one of the observers, and no one
who sees it will have any apprehension
that it will strike the earth and cause
any trouble One the whole, the comet
is rather disappointing.

DEADLOCK EXISTS
IN WATER CASES
Failure of Attorneys to Agree
Will Stop the City Council
From Taking Action

OAKLAND May mo action will be
taken by the city council tomorrow
night on the memorandum Of agree
ment drawn by city officials and the
heads of the Peoples water company
for the fixing of water rates and the
dismissal of the pending water rate
litigation. Although the committee of
the whole recommended last Monday
that the council ratify the terms of the
agreement. the water rate matter will
be deferred tomorrow night until re
port on water rate cases can be had
from the city's attorneys.
The city's counsellors, William r..
Davis Robert NJ. Fitzgerald, Carl II.
Abbott and City Attorney Sretson are
now in negotiation with the water COM
pany's legal department TO bring about
the dismissal of the rate cases
A motion to dismoss must come from
the Peoples water company and the
city attorneys are insisting that in the
agreement TO end the suits, the private
rate payers shall be fully protected.
The city corpofation-the largest rate
payer-will be remunerated for all
overcharges by the payment to the city
of 100000 or the equivalent of that
sum, as provided in the memorandum
of agreement. Protection for the pri-
,vate consumers must be guaranteed in
the special agreement for the dismissal
Of the suits. on the framing of this
clause the negotiating attorneys have
been unable to agree. 1t is this hitch
in the last negotiations which will de-
lay action by the city council on the
memorandum of agreement.
If the lawyers can not complete nego-
tiations for the dismissal of the suits,
lit is probable that the memorandum
of agreement will be dropped by the
city IT was rumored today that the
Peoples water company contemplated
the withdrawal of that instrument, but
officials cognizant of water affairs
scout this suggestion. 1t is held that
the end of litigation would be advan-
tageous to the corporation because of
the ensuing benehcient effect on the
company's bonds.
The memorandum provides for the re-
tention of existing rates for two years;
the development of San Pablo water
shed; the dismissal of litigation, and
the payment by the company to the city
of 100000, partly byt he purchase Of
Mosswood park, the balance in cash.

NEW YORK, May IA number of
adverse factors of a snecfal kind con-

week and crystallized a feeling of de-
preston that has been growing up for
some time, forcing a precipitate decline
in prices
Inc influence of these factors was

ment of cotton mill productions

chases and to irrigation projects.
The depletion of cash reserves of the
New York banks exhausted the margin
of the surplus and induced recall of
loans placed in the stock market. The
eXigencles of the cotton speculation
served to divert credit into that mar
ket The consequence was the heavy
burden of liquidation thrown upon the
stock market.
Another unfavorable factor was the
damage wrought to the crops by the
unseasonable cold wave.

ATTORNEY WEYL
MAKES STATEMENT
Declares Many Depositors SAT-
isfied With Modified Plans
for Reorganization

Bertin A Weyl, attorney for the
depositors' association of the California
safe deposit and trust company, OF
which ]. w. Raphael is president, issued
a statement yesterday concerning the
modified plans of the eastern capitalists
who are planning to reopen the bank
The plan as outlined provides for Ga
per cent return to the depositors, 40 per
cent to be in cash in immediate and
deferred payments and % per cent in
preferred stock in the new bank which
Is to be organized. Weyl said:
We are delighted with the en-
thusiasm with which the deposit
ors have met the proposed modi-
fed plans of the eastern people.
All the large depositors who have
called on me and have been in
formed fully of the plan have ex-
pressed the opinion that it is
sound business proposition. Many
of the large depositors have been
so favorably impressed with the
proposition that they have in
their cash dividend into stock in
the new bank. These depositors
feel that the values placed upon
the assets of the bank have been
scaled down to such an extent that
the stock of the bank offers a good
investment. They appreciate that
the holdings of the bank in West
ern Pacific stock will increase in
value in the near future and that
any stock in the bank which they
may acquire will be valuable
holding long before. they would re-
ceive their deferred payments un-
der the modified plan.
The inquiries for permission to
take stock have been so insistent
that 1 propose Immediately to pre-
pare an application to the reor-
ganiZerS for permission to convert
the cash settlement into stock
Nearly 100000 for this purpose
was signed up in less than 10 min
utes at a meeting of a commit
tee of depositors held yester-
day feel confident in say
ing that the reorganization
plan as modified has the conf
dence of the depositors and that a
large number will sign such appli-
cation for stock. If enough de-
posters join in the movement 1
think the reorganizers will agree
to the plan to issue stock in lieu
of cash.

WILL GET NEW ROOF
AFTER TWO CENTURIES
Cedar Shingles Wear zoo Years
at Darby, Pa.

After having withstood the elements
for over 200 years, since it was built in
100, Darby's oldest house is to have a
new shingle roof, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
Despite the fact that the shingles
were held in place with the old fash
ioned hand wrought nails at the time
that William Penn was holding forth in
Philadelphia as the proprietor of the
state. they are in good state of pres
ervation, and although some are de-
cayed on the ends, the inside is clean
and sound.
The shingles are cedar and are cut
from the forest, which abounded at that
time when the peaceful Leni Lenape
Indians roamed at large and wild ami
mails barked in the woods.
