DOYENS BOOK ATTACKS FORM OF BIGOTRY "Satan of tlie AlO'oern World" is the of a book by a San Francisco aul.ti, Uiuttau 'i'oltl in. tue ivv.u cl i.oiiuu it in cuieliy a Uiscusbiun 01 lice inought and omatenaiism vt.

The mind tii liie writer is strongly prejudiced ufc-amst me cfmich, iuiu ng-afiist Its best won 11 is soi at by taking it not as made "essentials re- Jio'ion, as Van attack by a vefy nature upon fanaticism, intolerance ana bigotry, aud upon what he considers yuiajrstition. It Is evident from tJa- in wliicii the story is written thai to its author religion convcjs chleuy the impression of superstition.

Tiic work will probably prove Incasing- wajdlgjfc as a corroboration of iheir Mews "that great throng of materialists wjjd admire Thomas Paine find ilic German scientist and infidel. IlacckU. There is a Onflstian minister in the story, who, by reading the works of HaeckeL, which he found iv Cue library ot the becomes converted from Christianity to Hacckel's ay of tUinklng and consequently gives up his pastorate. What is meant by- the title, "Satan of the Modern World." is, judging from me tenor of the story, meant to be hypocrisy the pretense of believing what one truly, does not' have faith In. Thus as a blow aimed against cant p.

deeply fn earnest 'Inculcation of Aolerance, even Christians might find ibe story of value. Although written by one who evidently Vecognizes "Jn nature the Only God and In happiness the only, good" there is nothing of the tendency toward flippancy and blasphemy which is so often seen in the writings of free thought and in the of those who reject religion and deny thait It does any good in the 2t is the story of the life of ft young man who is made quite an ideal hero, pf fine conduct and highly cultivated mind, lirlng in a village where he was thrown la contact with representatives of Christianity who were rather a fanatical and ignorant type; consequently the hero, Harry Brown, shows forth in splendid contrast against this foil of bigotry. It is probably a Quite close and study of the attitude of a certain class of mind toward religion, irrid as will have a psychological interest both to materialists who like an exponent of the possibility of, a high humanity and a kindly and useful morality existing In men who have no belief Jn God nor sympathy with relfgrion as, organized In the "church, and' aiso to those sincerely relig-ious sbuls who like to broaden their sympathies By seeing "how religion and Christians look to those who are prejudiced against it and them, but who nevertheless are hunting for truth and desire, be good citizens.

MAYOR'S VETO IS SUSTAINED Supervisors Fail to--Overs ride Disapproval of Site for the Lowell High School SCIDJITZ IS CRITICISED Sigus Bil 1 Selecting Playgrouiul, but He Refuses to Pass Demand for Purchase The Board of. Supervisors sustained ihe Mayor's veto of the resolution selecting the -Bell estate property on Octavia street, between Sutterand Uush, as a site for the new Lowell -High School. The Board postponed action on the Mayor's veto of the resolution accepting the offer of John-Fay to convey to the djy a lot of land at the corner of Chestnut and Mason streets as a portion of the site for the proposed children's playground at North Beach.

Mayor's veto of the first resolution was sustained by the following vote, fourteen affirmative votes being required under the.charter to Dass the bill over his veto: Booth, Braunhart, Connor, 'D'Ancona, Eggers, Mc- CJlellan, Pay'ot, 9. Alpers, Boxton. Gallagher, Lunstedt. Rea, Sanderson, 6. Supervisor d'Ancona in commenting on the Mayor's objections stated that the selection of the Bell estate site was made after a thorough Investigation of eligible sites in the immediate vicinity of the one selected originally, namely, that fronting on Laf ayette Park, and had received the full approval of the Board of Education, which had expressed its intention to put a grammar school on the present site of the Lowell Hich School.

D'Ancona ventured prophecy that the site for the Lowell High School would be eventually located. in the block opposite Alamo Square. "I regret that the Mayor is not' present," said Supervisor Braunhart," for I wish to warn him that in vetoing these resolutions he has been grievously imposed upon because some one is. interested ln unloading Kwo places of land on the city. It seems peculiar that one real estate agency is interested in the two sites rejected by this committee, which regarded the prices asked as extortionate.

The price set on the block Alamo Square was originally which was finally reduced to £130,000, and I hope this outrage will not be perpetrated on the school children of San Francisco. The only; member of the Board of Education who Is in favor of the rejected school 6ite opposite Alamo Square and playground site, which was also rejected in favor of the site of Cheshut and Mason streets, is School Director Altmann." Supervisor Gallagher defended the objections raised by tha Mayor and held that the indeflniteness of the value of the land selected was a goqd argument against its selection. Gallagher held that tho Drioe of $145,000 placed on Bell estate site is too high and certainly exceeded the 'price of the block opposite Alamo Square. PRICE FOR THE SITES. said -the determination of the price to be paid for the sites would be in the hands of the incoming; board and that condemnation proceedings; would not delay the building of Lowell High School very long.

A little scene occurred at this point when Braunhart again charged that the Mayor had vetoed the selection of the Bell estate site because it was proposed to buy the Alamo Square site, which Director Altmann favored. Gallagher reported Braunhart appeared to be particularly interested in the Bell estate Eite. "I am interested, but not personally, in the selection, of all school sites," said Braunhart, "and I am sorry that all the land fo.c public improvements has not Been" purchased before this board retires from office. I am sure that the expose made here will prevent the selection; of the Alamo Square site for the Lowell High School." FORMER RESOLUTION SIGNED. Braunhart said that no objection was raised in the Mayor's veto, message to the price to be paid for the land forming part of the children's playground site, at Chestnut 1 and Mason streets," which was the only Question -to be'consideied, as tHe eligibility and accessibility of location made- in the message were disposed of In the selection the site by a previous resolution (No.

6277), which the. Mayor had signed last July. Braunhart held that the 1 veto of an authorization to pay for the land did not nullify the selection of the site and Supervisor Brandensfeeln argued that the effect jj of the Mayor's veto jof the resolution would jbe simply to put a cloud on the title to; the block and lead to legal The board' then agreed to postpone con-; slderation of the veto. but. decided not to officially call the attention of the Mayor, to his Inconsistency In approving: the selection -of the playground site and th'en disapproving the of the site.

The resolutions authorizing the payment 0f; 5137,500 and $70,000, to the SchmledelL estate and to the Morton Draying Company as the purchase prices of lands, forming part of the children's playground, south of Market street, were' finally passed. Similar action was taken on the resolution, -authorizing expenditure of $49,500 as the purchase price of 46,103 acres of land required the reservoir Bite 'on Twin Peaks for Increased protect tion." The board adjourned to meet next Monday at 12 m. when the Incoming board will be Inducted into office.
