SPERRY'S FLEET
HOISTS ANCHOR
Battleships Leave for Visit to
Puget Sound Points and
British Columbia
Admiral Dayton and the Pacific
Squadron Sail to Santa Bar
bara, for Drill
With the West Virginia, flying Ad
miral Dayton's flag, in the lead, the
Pacific squadron sailed out of the
Golden gate early yesterday morning.
It was the beginning of the end of
the momentous assembly of- the
American fleet in San Francisco bay.
At 10 o'clock this morning the Atlan^
tic fleet will leave the harbor for its
•northern cruise and the visit of the
fleet will become a matter of his
tory.
The departure of the Pacific fleet was
quiet and unostentatious. At S o'clock,
before the city was fully awake, the
signals to weigh anchor fluttered from
the masts of the West Virginia. A few
minutes later it began to glide through
the waters, the Pennsylvania, Colorado
and Maryland of the first division fol
lowing behind at regulation distance.
The second division, led by the flagship
Tennessee, went in the wake of the
Maryland, the Washington following
the flagship, the California and Charles
ton coming next and the gunboat York
town bringing up the rear.
FEW SAW CIUXD SIGHT
The sight of the fleet departing was
a magnificent oae, but there were few
to witness it. There, was not the
slightest semblance ' of * a crowd, and
had it not been for the launches in the
bay. which tooted a farewell as the
ships swept by. their going would have
been In absolute silence. There wa3
scarce need of a farewell, as the fleet
only goes to the Santa Barbara channel
for fleet drill and will return to San
Francisco before long, but the depar
ture was significant, as it meant the
breaking up of the gathering of the
American fleet.
Shortly after the Yorktown had
cleared the Golden gate the crowds be
gan to pour down to the water; front to
have the last day on board the battle
ships of the Atlantic fleet. .; • \u25a0
. -'Except for the visitors .the day vai
a q»jlet'one on'' board.! VFather Gleason
held the. regular. services on board the
Connecticut. There was an" early mass,
followed by a general service tor". Cath
olics- and non-Catholics, and later a
second- mass. Besides this, every ship
sent details on shore to attend church
services and many of those who were
glren shore leave took advantage of
the opportunity to go to church. V
STREETS B A ItE OF SAILORS
The usual complement of men were
given liberty leave from the ships yes
terdaj^ but all were on board by 8
o'clock last night. The police and ma
rine patrols herded up the stragglers
and by 9 o'clock the familiar bluejacket
had disappeared from the streets of
San Francisco.
Sailing orders were set yesterday] for
S o'clock this morning, •when every
thing will be jn readiness for weighing
anchor. A large number of the visit
ors were attracted to the New Jersey/
on which a band concert was given. An
impromptu dance took place *on the
Ohio.
The fleet will sail out of the bay un
der the command of Admiral Sperry.
who became the senior admiral the
moment Admiral Dayton left the harbor
on the West Virginia, i
After touching at the Puget sound
points and British Columbia the second
and fourth divisions will drydock at the
Bremerton navy yard., but the first and
third divisions will return to San Fran
cisco about June 2 and enter the navy
yards at Mare island to prepare for the
trip around the world. Though no
definite date has been set for sailing,
the probabilities, are .that .the "entire
Atlantic fleet will reassemble, In San
Francisco bay toward the end of June
and start on the world tour during the
first week of July.
The Pacinc -fleet will not.accompany
the Atlantic fleet to the orient, specific
orders to that extent. having been re
ceived from Washingon. \u25a0-' i -

DR. HANNA IS
EXPECTED TO
ARRIVE SOON
Probably Will Take Up Duties
as Coadjutor Archbishop
in Few Weeks
Present Plan Is to Consecrate
the New Prelate in San
- 'Francisco
In spite of the various contradictory
announcements that have come from
'1 distant sources relative to the ap
| pointment '. of Dr. Edward J. Hanna,
{professor of dogmatic theology in St.
Bernard's seminary, Rochester, to the
} coadjutorship of the archdiocese ,of
San Francisco, the majority of the
clergy of: the city believe that his [
coming to the coast to assist Arch
bishop P. W. Riordan in the admin
istration of the diocese is practically
assured. Since the meeting of the
popaganda in "Lome in, March, at
which the charges of- modernism
brought against Dr. Hanna were fully
examined, no authoritative, report \
bearing the stamp of papal Approval
has been made public-
The Interpretation of modernism
generally entertained by the laity that
it involved something vaguely asso
ciated with new sociological theories
of a strenuous and volcanic age Is
scoffed at by the clergy as being the
imaginings' of persons unfamiliar with
the philosophical progression of mod
ern celebrated schools of tl. jught.
CAUSES OF CONTROVERSY
The charges, in fact, were of a deep
philosophical nature, which in their ex- i
treme development* affected theological i
teachings. Chief among the causes' of!
the controversy were Dr. Hanna's ar- }
tides published in the Catholic Review'
on "The Human Life of Christ." At the
time his nomination was being con
sidered by the Propaganda in . Rome
Archbishop Riordan personally visited
the holy city and presented his views
of the subject to the deliberating cardi
nal;:.
Telegraphic reports purporting to
come from- authoritative' persons have
; disseminated the idea that the con
clusion reached, by ;the. powers of Rome
j was unfavorable to the appointment of
Dr. r : Haipna -:to*; K the archiepißcopal - dig
nity.y^On^, tbe 1 contrary, hqwever, v the
clergy:* of -this city 'beiieve~~tliat* Dr.
Hanna's appointment isa certainty and I
that .he. will, arrive' In this city in a I
feTTv weeks. "
r TO BE COXSECRATED HERE
- Upon his arrival he will take up Im
j mediately . the duties, of coadjutor to
Archbishop Riordan. According to the,
present program he will be consecrated
in San . Francisco. Archbishop Riordan
officiating. .The numerous duties that!
j fall to the lot of a head of a large!
J diocese like San Francisco require the •
services of .an assistant bishop. Bishop j
J Henrique da Silva has been assisting
; Archbishop JRlordan since, the death of I
• Archbishop George Montgomery. The!
[ coadjutorship carries with it the right 1
! to succession. . >
At St. Bernard's seminary, with the!
teaching staff .of ; which Dr. Hanna Is
j associated, there are a number of ec
j clesiastical students from' this diocese
S and Archbishop Riordan is said to cher
,ish a very high regard for the scholar
ship and learning of the institution.

Baccalaureate Sermon
STANFOkSd UNIVERSITY, May 17.—
In the annual baccalaureate sermon to
the graduating class in the university
assembly . ball this morning the Rev.
"William Horace Day, D. D.. of Los An
geles, pleaded for a life of service and
exhorted those students who are now
jrolns out. into the world to serve
others and not seek their greatness by
havlngr others serve them» He declared
that the people of California are awak
ening to the highest Ideals of. such a
life, and as a concrete- example pointed
out fhe work of the Linsoln-Roosevelt
league at the recent Sacramento con
vention. The renunciation of personal
ambition and the hope of immediate
political advancement .bjf the leaders in
the, 'movement .to "throw. ©Cf the cor
porate^^:yok>,, .\u25a0wMch'tmnle'ns this : state
is an evidence of a life of service, says
this eminent divine.' '•
Dr. Day said in part: j \u0084 <
"The republican convention at Sacra
mento is of greater . significance this
year. The life of service. is not a dead
ambition when men imperil political ad
vancement and commercial prosperity
because they believe that California
politics has been dominated by cor
porate interests to the detriment of the
commonwealth. Some one ,has called
the new forms of wrongs "smokeless
sin.' because it is hard to tell jnst who
ls responsible. We can feel the moral
wound, but cannot locate its exact
source. If you are true to the life of
service a part of your business will be
to run down and stop these smokeless
sins.
•The work of checking preventable
Crime is progressing because many of
our. men trained for the law will not be
restrained ,by fees which are paid to
keep them from defending other men.**
The baccaluareate sermon was well
attended, ' but there was a noticeable
thinness In the ranks of the seniors
present owing to the decision of the
class to forego'the festivities of senior
week in memory of the men suspended
by the student affairs committee.

REXO. ilay 17. — Fate has again been

The decline, of Bullfrog: and Rhyolite

Rebels Count on Senator San*
ford, but Their "Big Four"
Slate Is Incomplete ;j
FRESNO, May 17.— With, the ar
rival of many delegates on late trains
has come a somewhat definite shaping
of the situation, and it locks as if
there will be a bitter struggle be
tween the McNab and anti-McNab
forces, aided by Theodore A. Bell,
over the chairmanship in the con
vention tomorrow. At midnight it
was announced that all efforts to
bring about a compromise had failed
and that the conferences that had
been going on all day had been
finally called off as of no avail.
As the last meeting broke up Bell
declared that HaCntord would surely b»
elected chairman. * while on the- other
hand McNab announced as positively
thai he would make Harper the pre
siding oScer by a majority of 109
As it has appeared throughout th«
day. it still looks as if the McNab or
ganization will be In control. How
ever. Bell's men are fighting very ag
gressively and will not waste any tlm»
in sleep tonight. It is oce of thm
prettiest convention battles the «ta:e'i
democracy has ever engaged in.
Me.VlB IS LIBEBAL
Gavin MeXab was quite liberal to Bell
in^ h'.s efforts at conciliation. He of
fered to 'let 'Bell go to the national con
|vertion as a.: delegate, -to give him th»
united "support of the California dele
gation in his candidacy of the chair
man of the rational gathering, to nama
another besides himself as delegate at
large and to name the chairman of ths
state conveition" to be held in August.^
' Harper wa* to be dropped as national '-
'.. delegate in this scheme.
AH that HeNab asked in return for
this was Bell's support of Harper for
chairman tomorrow. The Bell forces'
refused, as they insisted on control of
the convention. McXab came here with
a view to conciliating Bell and if that
failed to give him a good trouncing. H9
has now resolved to do the latter.'
BOTH FACTIONS MAKISG
LOUD CLAIMS OF VICTORY
Preliminary Straggle Shows Big
Fight Will Ensae la the
Convention Today
• FRESNO, Ma/ 17.— With both the
McNab and anti-McNab forces pow
wowing, buttonholing and caucusing.
as well as making sweeping claims
to everything that is in contest be
tween them, there arc surface indica
tions that the democratic state con
vention, which convenes in the opera
house at 2 o'clock tomorrow, will be
anything but a harmonious and peace
ful gathering.
But when the smoke of the pre
liminary' conversational battle blows
away and the issue. ia joined witi
the more tellinp ammunition of
voles, it Is more t har. probable
that the McXab organization will
be victoricjp and that the re
bellious Bourbons will have to rest
content with such minor successes as
they may achieve in the excitement of
the melee.
This is as much as to gay that th»
rejr-lars will name their chairman oi
the convention and put through their
slate for delegates at large to the na
tional convention In Denver.
The antis will h3ve a chance to elect
some of their delegates from the con
gressional districts, and may force oa«
or. two of their Ideas upon the conven
tion In the shape of planks for the plat
form.
OFE>* FIGHT O.V BKYAX
As to the instructions which are to
be given to the delegates who go to
Denver, that Ls an open fight. It has
been decided that ther committee on
1 platform and resolutions will be named
[by the congressional districts. Instead
'of b«ins dictated by the chairman, and
the issue of instructing for Bryan or
sending delegates unlnstructed will bo
fought, out in the committee room.
From the present temper of the dele
gates there seems little reason to doubt
that Nebraska's favorite son will have
20 instructed men from California to
back him.
•Mayor A. C. Karper has finally been
centered on by 'the regulars* as their
candidate for the chairmanship. Tlm
state for delegates at large remains as
made up some time ago-7-Theodore A.
Bell of Napa, "Bob" Fitzgerald of Oak
land. Mayor Harper : and Nathan Cole
Jr.. both of /Los Angeles.. .
Unless "something terrible should
happen.** this program wit go through
and Gavin • McNab will return to Saa
Francisco with, the scalp of another re
calcitrant element In the democracy
dangling. from his belt.
. Tlie "terrible something." which Is
at least within the bounds of possibility.
is an eleventh hour stampede of the
more uncertain country delegates to
Senator T. . B. Sanf ord of Ukiah. whom
the antt-McNab men would like to make
chairman of the convention.
But the present lineup of the oppos
ing forces does not lend itself to the
plausibility "of a stampede. San Fran
cisco stands. ready to deliver 44 out of
€3 votes to Mayor Harper, while his
own town. Los Angeles, will give hhn
at least 55 out of its O.
These are the claims of the organisa
tion, and it ls likely that roll call wIU
