Rev. Henry Ostrom had charge of the services at the First Presbyterian assisted by John P. Hillis as the soloist. Mr. Ostrom chose for his The Broad Religion," and in the course of his sermon said: Xot broader but higher is the watchword Of twentieth century.

Why not a liberaliet In Everywhere In the Bible man is represented as great except when in contrast Jesus. Then he Is meaner than a pigmy. Man is a great creature. So great is man that can become as pure as driven mow or than a beast. So great is man.

So great is man that he is called not the cabin, not the adobe hut, but the temple of Holy Ghent. Man is no trifling commodity. lie is unto a continent with tall peaks and soft valleys with rivers and lakes, with harbors and coast One man Is worth the whole world. Do away with the contrast" with God and man and man goes so high up that he is alxnoft a god.

Yet man is a great sinner as well. I believe in the depravity of man. The tell us we are born in Bin. Even the little child needs constant watching and cautioning. Take the babe from the family in California, put him by himself and he will become lower than a heathen Man is an alien from God.

The fatherhood of God only comes to him who joins God's great family and himself becomes a son or a daughter. The brotherhood of man exists only when man accepts Jesus Christ, the son of God. Man knows that he is gu.ity.

Who would not rather be a guilty man than an innocent idiot? If they tell you there is good In evpry man, that you sin In Ignorance and that because you not know any better you will be forgiven, they tell you John H.

Rev. R. A. Walton has the services in East Oakland at the Eighth Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, with F.

The general theme of the discourse was, "Does salvation destroy the appetites and passions for gambling, for drink, for swearing, as well as the many intellectual difficulties with which a great many men are swamped?" In answering this he told a story about Mr.

Moody: "Whllt Moody was preaching in an Illinois town during the earlier days of his career a man drove up In his carriage and listened between the puffs of his cigar to the exhortation of the young evangelist. Mr. Moody Inquired who he was. He was told that his name Palmer, that he was the wealthiest man in the county, owning almost one-third of the real estate In the town, besides large tracts of county land, but a man so given to the habit of swearing that his wife and daughters were aahamed to go out with him. Mr.

Moody said. "I will go out and see him." and. notwithstanding the warning that ho would get nothing but a volume of oaths, the next morning quite early found him at the front door of the rich man's houte. Mr. Palmer, seated on porch, greeted Mr.

Moody with the question. "What do you want?" "I wieh to see Mr. PaJmer," he replied. my name; what have you for?" Mr. Moody that he had heard that Mr.

Palmer was the richest man In county, that God had given him friends and Inftuence. had given him a wife and two lovely daughters, but that all he had ever returned to God for his goodness had been- oaths and curses, "Is it he asked. It was not Ion; before Mr. Moody was tnrlted in to pray with swearer. In the afternoon service of that day Mr.

Palmer made, an open confession ot his faith In Christ and his fellow-ctttzens to forgive him for the life he had led. Six years after thla time Mr. Moody met Mr. Palmer In California. His first question waa, "Palmer how about the swearing?" "I haven't swore since, sir; God filled me with something better," he replied.

There will be a special meeting in the West Oakland railroad yards at noon time to-morrow, to be addressed by Rev. Dwlght E. Potter, Rev. H. H.

Elizabeth Williams was granted apa month allowance from the estate until Us final close, and it is expected that this will very nearly eat up all of the property.

March As a social function the opening reception of the Starr King art exhibit Saturday night was a great success. Maple Hall even uncomfortably crowded and artists and art lovers were unanimous In praiee of the display. As usual the monotony of picture gazing was varied by music. Miss Ruth Waterman, contralto, and Miss Winifred June violinist, contributing several delightful numbers. The large number of canvases and the lack of apace in which to hang them have necessitated placing many of the pictures too low to receive meriwxl recognition, but on the whole the exhibit Is well arranged.

But the need of a properly arranged hall, large enough for annual art exhibits, is more evident than ever. I hear that F. C. Havens has already given a lot and will buiM a gallery for the city, but as the lot is in Piedmont it would probably share the fate of the Home Club, which is too afar away from business centers ever to be popular as an auditorium. Notwithstanding the fact that the display of work by San Francisco artists Is conspicuous, from this side the bay are hold- Ing thrir own very well.

The one beautiful canvas stnt in by Keith has already been sold, the Harmon Bells being the purchasers, I believe. C. P. NeiUon Is showing some excellent work and some fine bits by Miss Annie Frances Brings. John M.

A recent acquisition to California art circles Is Gordon Coutta. The half dosen or more canvass that Is showing certainly entitle him to rank with the best.

Harry W. Seawell's work has also been the subject of favorable criticism and Willis Daris is several delightful landscapes. Other exhibitors whose work is attracting attention are: Kugen Neuhaus G. Joseph Greenbauna, Chapel Judson, MutK'o Sandona, Raschen and Mary Richardson. The photographic display unusually artistic, the studios by Mrs.

Hla wife and five children WHEELER HOUSE AS A HOSPITAL President Seems to Approve Plan to Make Mansion a Kesort for the Sick SENDS WALSH A LETTEE Communication of Health Officer of Berkeley Is Sent to the Legislature Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, March 6. President Benjamin Ide Wheeler has informally approved of the plan to make a university hospital of the unfinished mansion built for his use by the regents, but never occupied by him. The president has forwarded to Assemblyman "Philip M.

Walsh of Oakland, now at Sacramento, a letter sent to Wheeler by Dr. Reinhardt, university physician and aLfo health officer of Berkeley, in which Dr. Reinhardt shows how the mansion that was to be President Wheeler's could be fitted up for hospital purposes and made selfsupporting. Dr. Reinhardt takes into consideration the fact the Legislature has agreed to appropriate with which to complete the big stone house on the hill.

The money could well be spent, Dr. Reinhardt says, in making the building a first-class hospital. There are 3000 persons in and about the university, the physician argues, Who would be eligible to admission to the place when ill, and an annual fee from them of $2 each would provide $6000, or sufficient to support the institution, with private contributions that might be made. There is now in the regents' hands, it is said, several thousands of dollars that might be used for this hospital project. The money referred to reDresents property once owned by the Berkeley Hospital Association, a university adjunct that sought to establish a hospital in Berkeley.

The project failed because of the opposition of property owners who objected to locating the proposed hospital near their residences. The property of the association was then sold and the proceeds were given, to the regents with the understanding that they would be applied to the securing of beds in hospital for sick students It is said that President Wheeler would favor using the uncompleted mansion on the hill as his own residence instead of for a hospital if the regents would agree to give him, in his new mansion, the money now paid for the rental of his nresent home. This, however, the regents have shown no signs of desiring to do, and accordingly the hospital project is expected to prove the final solution of the problem presented by the "white elephant" in the shape of the big stone house. DESPONDENT WIDOW ENDS HER OWN" LIFE While Seated In a Chair She Slowly Suffocates to Death by the Use of Gas. OAKLAND, March Mrs.

Mary E. Putney, 54 years old, a widow, committed suicide to-day at 551 Franklin street, where for eighteen years she had resided as housekeeper for James Vignier, a hotel man at that place. Her body was found resting in a chair in her room. From a gas stove Mrs. Putney had run a rubber to her mouth, inhaling the deadly iluid until death ensued.

The odor of the escaping gas attracted attention. No explanation was made by any of the woman's friends as to the cause of suicide, except that she had been despondent of late. She left no message. Mrs. Putney was a native of San Jose.

She leaves a brother named O'Brien, a resident of that city. The Coroner took charge of the case. ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS STEALS March 6. KJna Bennett, residing at 715 Clay street, has complained to the police that a thief stole $30 worth of clothing from her room night. BOY'S LEG March Ash.

FACTORY SHE IS PURCHASED Magnesite Company Closes Deal for Thirty Acres of Best Water Front Property BIG PLANS Three Plants to Be in East Oakland, Giving Employment to Many Men Oakland Ofliee San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, March 6. The American Magnesite Company, which owns the famous Red Mountain mines south of Livermore, has closed its deal for a large aeciion of water front in Oakland and will at once begin constructing its manufacturing plants. The company has bought nearly thirty acres of water front in East Oakland on what is known as Sessions Basin. This water front property was owned by J.

L. da Fremery, who is In the East, and the deal was concluded through E. P. Vandercook, his agent on this coast. The property has a long frontage upon the East Oakland basin, and is directly on the line of the new work that is being outlined by the Federal Government and for which the last Congress has appropriated $250,000.

There is ample area for the different plants that will be erected by the Magnesite Company for the handling of their ore. One plant will be for the manufacture of fire brick, another for the manufacture of a patent building material, a third for the manufacture of carbonic acid gas, and in addition there will be wharves and bunkers for the shipping of their ore to Eastern and foreign ports in bulk. The deal will mean the employment of many men in Oakland, and many more In the Livermore district, from which point ttys ore will be shipped to Oakland. The Board of Supervisors haa undertaken to build a good rottd from Livermore to the mines, and a contract for the work was let some months ago. Harry N.

Morse contested the legality of the award before Judge Sloss of San Francisco and the Supervisors were to-day notified that the proceedings were illegal. The board has already started nefr work, and Road Overseer Dave McDonald of Livermore has now the petitions in proper shape and at the next meeting of the board bids will be advertised for. ARREST CHARGED TO SPITE WORK Woman Sues Neighbor for Causing Her to Be Tried for Mental Ud soundness Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, March 6. As a result of a neighborhood quarrel at Melrose Mrs. Laura Stickney today began suit for $10,000 damages against J.

P. Brevoort for causing her arrest on a charge of insanity. She says she was subjected to the humiliation of arrest and kept in confinement for twenty-four hours at the Receiving Hospital. The arrest took place Just a year ago, but since then the ill feeling has been kept alive, according to her. by neighborhood gossip and attempts to poison her chickens.

Now she intends to take steps that she believes will gain her a hearing. At the time her examination took place Judge Melvtn commented strongly on Brevoort's action ha causing her arrest upon such a charge. EARLIEST APPEARANCE OF RAILROAD TIME TABLES The Guides of Early Days Now Re- garded as Rare and Costly Relics. It is Just sixty-five years ago since George Bradshaw, the Quaker engraver mapmaker Manchester, England, was first inspired to publish his "Time Table." It was a tiny pamphlet bound in green cloth, and was nothing more than a collection of the monthly time tables issued by the seven railway companies then in existence in England. Of volume there are now only four copies in existence, but they are worth their weight in gold.

So- encouraged was Bradshaw by the success of this time table that in 1840 he published his "Railway Companion," a volume of thirty-eight pages with maps which sold at a shilling. These early guides were published rather Irregularly because of the difficulty of learning the change? in times from the railway authorities. They resented Bradshaw's interference and put every obstacle in the way of his obtaining information. At last, through the Quaker's perseverance, they finally agreed to adjust their time tables by the beginning of the month. Thereafter it was smooth sailing.

The guide continued to grow and prosper and to make itself a necessity. These early railway guides make interesting reading. The trains are described as first-class, second-class, mixed, fast and mail. Third-cliss travelers had the choice of sitting on the roofs or in open wagons resembling cattle trucks. Gentlemen riding in thejr own carriages were charged second-class fare.

Baggage was carried on the roof, and passengers who sat there were cautioned to wear their overcoats provide themselves with gauze spectacles. fare between London aad Birmingham was r.early double what it is to-day, and an annual subscription ticket from London to Brighton and back coat Chronicle. Force of Great Waves. NEW YORK, Jan. Recent experiments made at the Bell Rock and Skerryvore lighthouses on the Scottish Coast have shown that while the force of breakers in the German Ocean may be taken as about a ton and a half on every square foot of surface, Atlantic breakers fall with a weight of about three tons to the square foot.

In November, during a heavy gale, huge blocks of granite and limestone were washed about like pebbles at the Plymouth breakwater, carried 306 up its inclined plane and scattered beyond it in all directions. One of the blocks weighed nearly two tons. INDORSES BILL AGAINST TRACK City Council Commends the Endeavors of Espey to Stop Gambling on Kaces SWEEPING BESOLUTIOXS One Member Declares That the Influence of Sport Demoralises Boys Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, March By a vote of 9 to 2, the City Council to-night adopted a resolution commending Assemblyman amirace track gambling bill, and urging the Senate to pass the measure, the bill having already passed the. Assembly. The resolution, which was introduced by Councilman Pendleton.

follows: "Whereas, Assembly bill 280, introduced by R. H. E. Espey of this city, the purpose of which is to prohibit pool selling, bookmaking and other forms of gambling on horse racinsr is now before the State Senate, and 'Whereas, we, the City Council of the city of Oakland, do recognize the pernicious influence of the race track and its attendant evils, and "Whereas, we believe that much of the crime committed within our borders is directly attributable to the inftuence of the race track. Therefore be it "Resolved, That we do highly commend the act of Mr.

R. H. E. in introducing and successfully promoting the said bill in the Assembly and we the Senators representing this county and all the members of the Senate to do everything possible to secure the passage of this bill at the present session of the Legislature." Councilmen Fitzgerald and Baccus voted against the resolution. Fitzgerald declared it uncalled for and out of place.

Councilman Elliott declared he faVored the resolution, not because he racing as a sport for men, but he added, "The race track is stuck under our noses, and it is a place where boys from 14 to 21 years of age can swagger about with a cigarette in their mouths and gamble away the it has taken some of them a week to earn." ADOPTS OLD WATER RATES Oakland's Council of the Opinion That Conditions Do Not Warrant Change OAKLAND, March The City Council to-night re-enacted the water rates of lar-t year for the coming fiscal year. This schedule is from 25 to 30 per cent under the rates that are being collected by the Contra Costa Water Company at present, an injunction in force against the 1904 schedule. President Dornia, in presenting the report on the rates schedule from the committee of the whole, said: "The company's statements show a material increase during the year on all the revenue-Droctucing fixtures except the sale of water by meter. It ia therefore apparent that the application of the rates fixed by the Council last year would result, in a large measure, in a large Increase in the company's revenue over that contemplated by the schedule. "The committee therefore discussed carefully the propriety of reducing the hydrant rate, but finally concluded that it would be ill-advised to complicate the last injunction case by having another schedule introduced this year.

However, your committee firmly believes and reiterates its views of last year, that the values and rates established last year are liberal and more than fair and just to the company." Dornin, for the committee, submitted a comparison of Oalcrand and San Francisco rates and concluded: "All these show plainly that the rates fixed by this Council in 1904, although some 30 per cent below the rates under which the water company is now operating, are still far in excess of the San Francisco rates." ELOPING WIFE GETS HIS CASH 9 Mrs. John Deniz Deserts Husband for Another, Taking Bankbook. and One Child Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, March 9.
