MOORE WOULDONLY AFFIRM

Commander of the UnionMission Array Re-

fused to Swear.

Jie Met With a Signal Defeatin th© Police Court

Yesterday.

His Connection With God's RegularArmy inPortland Wrb of a

Shady Nature.

A. TV. Moore, the self-styled com-mander of the Union Mission Army,•with headquarters at 114 Hayes street,got a setback in Judge Low's courtyesterday morning. As was stated inyesterday's Call, he had Mrs. Sissie Da-vis and her husband, W. J. Davis, ar-rested for disturbing the peace.

Moore had engaged Attorney Gesfordto defend him and was evidently pre-pared to make a fight. When put onthe stand he was ordered to be sworn,but he surprised every one in court byrefusing and stating that he would only

affirm.Subsequently the Judge had occasion

to ask him why he would not be swornand he said "the Bible tells us not toswear," which* raised a laugh at his ex-pense in court. Moore was kept downto the event leading to the complaint,and he was only permitted to testifythat Davis ordered him out of the housefind threw his drum and flag out intothe street after him. He admitted thatMrs. Davis was not present at the timeand that he swore to the complaint, in-cluding her as one of the defendants,so as to get her out of the house to en-able him to obtain possession of thepremises.

In cross-examination he was asked ifIt were not one of the fundamentalprinciples of the organization that no

should take upon himself or her-self the title of commander, and in re-ply he said that Mr. and Mrs. Davisappointed him commander. The orig-

inal rules were submitted to the Judge,

and also certified copies written out byMoore, In which it was shown that inthe latter Moore had inserted the let-ters**Com" before his name, the originalonly having the plain signature.

A Miss Butler, who has a store nextdoor to the headquarters, was calledby Moore as a witness for him, but shedenied hearing any disturbance andgave Mr. and Mrs. Davis an excellentcharacter for peace and quiet.

The Judge, without calling the de-fendants tv testify, dismissed the case,and they announced their intenticm ofswearing ><ut warrants for Moore's ar-rest on the charge of "threats to kill."

The attorneys for the defendantswere prepared with evidence thatwould have shown Moore in a bad light.They had a copy of "The Regular." theofficial organ of Clod's Regular Army.published in Portland, Or., of Decem-ber I^. 1897. containing an article siernedby Colonel A. J. Purdey, commander-in-chiff of the army, warning the pub-

lic that Moore was no longer connectedwith the army and would not be again

till he had proved himself worthy by

doing some honest manual work. Itwas "also said that he was mixed up ina scandal in Petaluma in November of>ast year. before he went to Portland.

A CELEBRATED CANVAS.

A New Picture on Exhibition at theEmporium Art Rooms.

The management of the Emporium and

Golden Rule Bazaar is entitled to thethanks of the art-loving public for having

,* p.-cured a second masterpiece of Mr. DeLnrme. which will be placed on free ex-hibition to-morrow. This time it is afarm house interior, and in the handling:

•of the lights and shadows it is the equalif not the superior of his celebrated paint-Ing:,' "The Blacksmith," on exhibitionFeveral months ago.

The homely interior of a farmhouse isdepicted in detail, a child being the cen-tral figure-.

ANTHONY HOPEDENIES IT

He Declares, "1 NeverSaid Anything Bad

of America."

The New York World Is Givena Sharp "Call Down" by

the Novelist.

He Demands That the Head of theParagrapher Be Sent

to Him.

Anthony Hope Hawkins, who achiev-ed fame and fortune from his novel,the "Prisoner of Zenda," has given theNew York World a sharp and quick"calldown" for the malicious attackthat it recently made upon him in at-tributing to him splenetic sneers at theexpense of the American people. MajorPond, who managed Mr. Hope's tourin this country, and who now has Ma-rion Crawford, the novelist, here, wasin receipt of a recent letter from thefamous author containing the editorialfrom the World and his denial of thesame.

The uncalled-for roast of Mr. Hopeunder the caption of "Anthony HopeSpeaks His Mind," is as follows:

"It's the same old story. Tony Haw-kins

—not an Eastcheap costermonger,

but a London literary chap who callshimself Anthony Hope

—has returned to

England with his pockets fullof Amer-ican dollars and his mouth full of sple-netic sneers at the vulgar Yankees whofurnished them. After a triumphal tourof these States, reading with doubt-ful elocution a chapter or two fromone of his books and charging his audi-tors as much therefor as ten books bybetter men than he, might be had for,the Cockney returns to the 'ome of the'Awklnses and enlightens all Englandupon the 'conceit' of the American peo-ple. Itmay be suggested that the per-son who thinks that a little easily wonliterary notoriety has made the sight ofhim and the sound of his voice cheapat $1 50 and isn't whollydevoid of self-esteem himself. Authors who are af-flicted with modesty don't take to the'author's readings' method of makingmoney. He who does so, proclaimsthat he holds himself well worth look-ing at, for, as for the reading, a third-rate elocutionist usually can do it bet-ter.

"Itis a pity the cabled reports of Mr.Hawkins' fluent expressions of opinionconcerning the Americans he so re-cently exploited are but meager. ButAmerican experience is mature enoughto supply the gaps. Anthony Hopewas received with especial hospitality.Private houses and clubs were open tohim everywhere. He had as royal areception as though he were the PrinceRupert whose adventures he chroni-cles. Of course, under these circum-stances he would be particularly sa-tirical. Courtesy is the poorest way towin a Briton's good will. Snub himand perhaps he will be reasonablycourteous himself.

"We regret, however, that the dis-tinguished litterateur should havefound that American women 'had manyways of expressing that they werefrankly disappointed in their expecta-tions concerning his personality. 1

Probably h expected to have to enactthe role of a St. Anthony throughouthis tour."

Indenial of this unjust stab the nov-elist writes Major Pond as follows:

1G Buckingham Street, Strand. March12. 1898.— 0b, My Dear Major: Isn't thissort of thing too bad? I've written toThe Critic vigorously denying

—look for

my letter. Inever said anything bad ofAmerica, but if they go on like this Iwill

—of these papers anyhow. You of all

men best know. First, how good mythoughts were; secondly, how had mytemper is. Combine your information andthen conjecture my state of mind uponthis matter.

Enough! How are you and Mrs. Pond?And when are you coming over? Friendshave begun to arrive here and there is apromise of more so that Ilook forwardto the f>pportunity of paying a little ofmy debts. Iam working intermittentlyand spending all day quietly here—achancre from our old days together. Clarkwas delighted when Igave him your mes-sage—he lias got a permanent place hereand seems pleased with it. Inever geta permanent place, but Ijog along prettywell all the same. Isaw Doyle a dayor two ago— he speaks of you as well asIspeak of you.

Good luck, and if you have your cavalrysword about you kill a paragrapher andsend me his head per steamship Umbria.Yours,

ANTHONY HOPE HAWKINS,

pleaded guilty to a charge of breakinginto the store of Leopold Greenberg onGeary street last January, was sentencedby Judge Dunne yesterday to five years"imprisonment at Folsom.

JUDGE SLACK RESIGNS.He Will Leave the Bench to Enaaae in the General

Practice of the Law.Superior Judge Charles W. Slack forwarded his resignation yesterday

to Governor Budd. The resignation is to take effect on and after the4th of April.

Judge Slack has for a long time been contemplating the step takenby him. About seven or eight months ago he was offered the position oflecturer on law at the Affiliated Colleges, at a salary "f $5000 a year, whichwas $1000 more than he enjoyed while on the bench. He accepted the of-fer conditionally. At the time it was made he was actively engaged in thetrial of the Craven-Fair suit. He then announced that when that litigationwas closed and other important cases pending before him were eithertried or so settled that the litigants would not suffer any inconvenienceby his retirement he would leave the bench. Now that he has resigned

there are a host of candidates in the field for the place. Ex-Judge A. A.Sanderson, Frank Murasky, Rhodes Borden and Alex Vogelsang are among

those mentioned for the position. Borden, who is in the City and County

Attorneys' office, and Murasky, who is a law partner of Colonel JamesSmith, were candidates for the Superior bench at the last election, andwere beaten. Ex-Judge Sanderson was also a candidate for re-election, butwas defeated.

Judge Slack has abandoned the idea of accepting the position offered himin the Affiliated Colleges. He will form a law partnership with ArthurRodgers and ex-Supreme Justice Van R. Paterson.

TO LOOK FOR ANISLAND OF GOLD

The Schooner Free TradeFitted Out for the

Expedition.

Two English Capitalists and aMining Expert Are Going

Along.

Untold Millions Are to Bo Found in

the Quartz Ledges of the

Is'ew El Dorado.

An expedition backed by British cap-

ital starts north in a few days in searchof an "Island of (Jnld." >."<> money hasbeen spared in putting everything infirst-class shape and the promoters areconfident cf success. The quartz ledges

to be found cropping out all over theisland are said to be fabulously richand large pieces of rock can be brokenoff with a hammer in which the goldcan be seen in streaks all through it.When the rock is broken by a hammerthe various fragments a^e said to holdtogether by threads of gold. The isl-and was discovered by the captain of asealing schooner two years .ago and itis he who willlead the fortune huntersto the new El Dorado.

The schooner Free Trade, purchasedfrom John H. Pricn a few weeks ago,

has been thoroughly fitted out for theexpedition. She was put on the ways,and every one of her planks bored totest their soundness. She has been

1 braced thoroughly throughout, a house;has been built on deck, new sails havebeen bent and no expense spared inputting the schooner into- first-class

|shape to carry the expedition to Alas-ikan waters. The cabin has been fittedup luxuriously. A bathroom has been

Ibuilt especially for the accommodationiof the two English capitalists who will|go up on her, and patent washstands!have been put ineach stateroom.

The schoc-ner will be commanded byCaptain Charles A. Moore, and he willbe accompanied by the Hon. H. TalbotWatson, Hon. George Page and anEnglish mining expert. The capitalistswill be accompanied by their valets,and as the cruise is expected to lastabout two months everything in theway of greater comforts is being takenalong. Among the cargo will be twolive sheep, several young pigs, turkeys,chickens, ducks and geese. Allthe fish

| required will be caught in Bering Sea,t as the schooner is bound for one of theiislands in the Aleutian group. Tobaccoand cigars have been snipped In plenty

1 and the lockers will not be destitute ofIchampagne and other liquors.

Captain Moore knows the exact loca-tion of the '"Island of Gold" and hasa very good idea as to its wealth. Whilecruising In Alaskan waters he one daylandi d on the island and while clamber-

;ing over it saw the cropping?, with thegold planly visible to the naked eye.The quartz seemed to be rotten and all |along the face of the ledges pieces of

'the rock could be seen suspended bythreads of gold. He made as good aninvestigation as time would permit, and

;on his return to the sealing schooner; took the latitude and lc-ngitude of the!spot. On his return to San Francisco;he tried to interest capitalists in hisIdiscovery, bv.t in a measure failed,iThose who wore %-eady to go into theventure wanted to hnve everythingtheir way, and so far as the captain• could see he was to get all the gloryand they were to get all the pro-fits.

Aflor two months of waiting he graveiup in disgust and went to England. Hearrived there on a. "'upsday. made ai!his arrangements with the Hons. Wat-

1 pon and Page and was on his way back; to America on the steamer Paris thp

! following Saturday. He was followedj poon after by the two capitalists, andI they are now at the Palace Hc-tol!awaiting the departure of the Free!Trade.

In talking about the matter yesterdayCaptain Moore Fa id: "Everything isnow almost ready and we will g>-taway for the Aleutian Islands nextTuesday or Wednesday. Idon't ex-pect that we will be gone more than,six weeks, as Iknow exactly where we;are going, and we will only remainj long enough at the islands to secureIsamples of the ore foc^assaying whenjwe return to San Francisco. Iam so| sure that the venture will prove a sue-Icess that Ihave risked ;illmy capital!in it. but except to have it returned to!me ten thousand fold. lam takingmy wife with me, so you see Iexpectthe voyage to be more of a pleasuretrip than anything else. Idiscoveredthe Island when T was master of aBi iling schooner, but the name of the

ischooner or the whereabouts of the> island Iam not going to tell you. The!name of the schooner would probablyrecall to some of the captains of othervessels that were north at that timethe vicinity of the island and thatknowledge Iwant to keep to myself f<>rthe present. The Free Trade willcarry two mates, four* sailors, a cookand a steward, besides Messrs. Wat-son and Page's valets, so you see thatthe vessel will oe well manned. Ithinkthat on oui return tbe tales >>f thefabulous wealth of the Klondike willnot b<=> in It with the stories we will'have to tell."

Captain Moore began his life on thesea as a middy in the English navy.He got tired of service on board a man-of-war and went into the merchantmarine. Years ago, when in Van-couver, B. C, the American ship Johnde Costa wanted a navigator to takeher to Valparaiso and Captain Moorewas engaged. After that voyage heserved on the North American, Ster-ling:, Morning Star and the Robert L,.Belknap. From the sailing vessels hewent into the employ of the PacificMail Steamship Company, but gettingtired of steam he went East and cameback to San Francisco as mate of theOlympic. After that he made thecruise to Alaska in the sealing schoonerbefore mentioned, and is now gettingready to go back to the Aleutian is-lands to relocate his "Island of Gold."

There willbe taken along on the deckof the Free Trade a most remarkablelittle steam launch. Itis 30 feet long,6 feet broad, and with eight men init. only draws six inches of water. It\u25a0was designed and built by a studentat Berkeley named Jarvis and is con-sidered to be a wonder in its way Onits trial trip it ran fifty miles on aconsumption of sixty gallons of waterand 200 pounds of coal. It can carry500 pounds of coal and two men and aboy to handle it. In Oakland Creekthe other day the little launch carriedeight men and towed a sloop with sixtons of shell in it six miles againstthe tide in an hour.

The most remarkable thing about the Icraft is the fact that the engines andsteering" gear are worked by the same iwheel. The screw is movable and canbe shifted from side to side the sameas a rudder without diminishing thespeed of the boat. When the' wheelis put hard over the engines go fullspeed astern and the boat comes roundas though she was on a pivot. She wasfixed up for the trip to Alaska by-James Garret of Newark, and he saysthat she can easily make ten knotsan hour. According to him she is theonly boat afloat that can go anywhereher handlers want under a flv^'-poundpressure of steam. The gear that worksthe screw and the steering apparatushas the same ball bearings as the ichainless bicycle, and everything in thelittle boat runs like clock work

The Free Trade went into the streamyesterday to be cleaned up and paintedTo-morrow she will be docked again"* crew

'shipped \u25a0 and then > Tuesday or"Wednesday a start will be made.'

years, was brought to this city yesterdayby Secretary Healey of the SacramentoSociety jfor the Prevention jof jCruelty !toChildren, and turned ;over to SecretaryKane of the Anti-Vice Society.

MORE SCIENCE,LESS MYTHOLOGYInstructor Heaton Pro-

tests Against ClassicMyths.

Nature Study Urged as a Sub-

stitute for Ancient Su-

perstition.

Professor Brown Says We Are Ap-

proaching a Unified National

Educational System.

Instructor T. Lv Heaton of the depart-

ment of pedagogy at the State Univer-sity, in a lecture to a teachers' class yes-terday morning, vigorously condemnedthe tendency In the schools of the State

to spend much time on classical myth-

ology at the expense of modern science.He said:

Three-fourths of the pupils In our public

schools attend school lor only six years. Theproblem lor the educator is to determine what

few of the many important things should be

taught. At present the study of mythology is

carried to a great extreme. Ivisited recently

a receiving class and found the children being

taught mythology, in the fifth grade it wasstill mythology, in the eighth grade itwas stillmythology and in the high school still more

'"it is true that some knowledge of mythologyis necessary to an understanding of art and

literature. "But is it not quite as true that aknowledge of Bible stories is necessary also to

iully understand literature and art. Yet the

litter is totally excluded from the curricula of

t'ne schools and the children are lamentably

ignorant of the Bible.What do pupils get from the study of myth-

oioev? If itis only the stories, the time spenton the subject is wasted. Mythology is valu-

able in that It expresses in a crude and bar-barous manner the philosophy of the ancients.Put in two thousand years have we not ad-vanced wonderfully? Is it rational to raise achild's body according to nineteenth century

methods anil his mind by methods of the fourthcentury U C ? How much better it would bet,, teach tbe children some of the wonderful

K'-ientiilc facts that have been discovered since

the epoch of classic mythology.How many people, for Instance, know the

wonders that have been accomplished by theI'nited States signal service? Last year it pre-

dicted two weeks In advance the great floodsof the Mississippi, and warnings were sent out,

hat the warnings were unheeded. If the peo-

ple had been educated in a knowledse ofscience instead of a knowledge of mythology

thous&nda of dollars' worth of property andhrndreUs of lives might have been saved. Letuh have laaa mythology and more science; less

ancient superstition and more knowledge; for

Zeua was j<rt>at, but God is infinite.

lvnature study the lacts of science can be

ma<"ie as fascinating to the minds of childrenaH the stories of mythology. Nature studymight well be taught in connection with thestudy of drawing, Which i.^ at present very

poorly taught in our public schools. Naturestud}' however, should consist rather in train-ing the perception than in arrangement of

facts which constitutes science proper. Stillthe teacher should have the science in his orher mind, and the mistake should not be madenl tiiuhing a mass of miscellaneous and dis-connected facts.

Professor Elmer E. Brown continuedhis historical review of tho developmentof Education in the United States. Hesaid:

Littleby little our American educational sys-tem has been approaching a great unified sys-tem; ithas gradually come to realize the idealnatif.nal system of education which Huxley de-clared must be a ladder reaching from the gut-ter to the university.It seems that this State furnishes a com-

plete and Independent educational system. TheInfluence of academies, which in many Statesis very powerful, does not amount to so muchin this Statr. although we have a few verygood academies and a number of g-ood, strongprivate schools.

\iu.mg the Important steps that must betaken in our educational progress are the es-tablishment of more reform school!!— schoolsbetween the grammar school and the reform-

atory—

and the extension of vocational trainingschools. Iam convinced that the extension ofa system of vocational training schools is amatter of particularly great importance to oureducators.

A FATAL MISSTEP.

Death of William Henry SavageWhile Working on a Ship at

the Union Iron Worss.William Henry Savage, a boy I*s years

old, residing at 497 Fourth street, waskilled yesterday while at work on a shipbeing constructed at the yards of theUnion Iron Works. »

He was working on a staging on theoutside of the framework of the ship andattempted to jump from the staging to aplatform a little lower down. His footslipped and he missed the platform andfell to the dock, striking on his head andstunning him. He was taken to the Cityand County Hospital, whore he died ina short time from the effects of hi.s in-juries.

The body was taken to the Morgue.

RICE WILL REFORM.

Rapped Over the Knuckles for Di-verting Trade From San Fran-

cisco to Victoria.T'nitod States Immigration Commission-

er North yesterday received a letter fromUnited States Commissioner Rice at Vic-toria, British Columbia, announcnig thathe had been furnished by the departmentwith a copy of Commissioner North's re-port of the examination and finding ofthe Special Board of Inquiry connected\u25a0with the Immigration Bureau in this cityin tho matter of the twenty-four Japanesecontract laborers recently refused a land-

ing at this port, and which report andfindings were approved by the Secretaryof the Treasury on the appeal of the Jap-anese.

Mr. Rice stated in his letter that thedepartment had requested him to makehis rulings in similar cases in conformitywith the rulings of the special board atthe port of San Francisco. He addedthat he had asked the department for aleave of absence for the purpose of visit-ing this city In order to familiarize him-self with the methods and procedureadopted by the board here.

Mr.Rice's action ingiving certificates otadmission to sixty Japanese contractlaborers who stopped at Victoria en routeto this city, has been severely commentedupon, as his leniency in the matter wouldhave the effect of turning the tide ofJapanese travel to Victoria to the Injuryof American passenger vessels.

SEVERE SENTENCE.

W. A. Shepard, Employment Agent,Gets Six Months in Jail.

W. A. Shepanl, proprietor of the Clerks'Exchange, appeared in Judge Campbell'scourt yesterday for sentence on thecharge of petty larceny. He was convict-*\u25a0(! by a Jury on Wednesday of securing$r> from Miss J. Conklin on the promiseof securing for her a position in the Oak-land branch of the business. Instead ofdoing so he kept her cash and refusedto give her any satisfaction. At the triala number of others testified to havingbeen swindled in the same way.

The Judge, after scoring Shepard se-verely for stealing a poor girl's money,sentenced him to pay a line of $250, with!the alternative of six months in the Coun-ty Jail, and intimate that in the next caseof the kind that came before him thesentence would be imprisonment withoutthe option of a fine.

The defendant's attorney filed a noticeof appeal, and Shepard was released on$1000 bonds.
