It, Is in the form of the Borah resolu
tion reported out. of the senate judici
ary committee in the closing days of
the last congress. '-."/:?-;',

tion, urged that the direct election
amendment should be offered without

and proposed -to support any good
measure without regard to politics. He
Bided with the republican forces In
urging a modification of the amend
ment. *
FLEA FOR RHODE ISLAND
O'Shaughnessy. democrat from Rhode
Island, informed the house that the
legislature of that state did not/repre
sent the people; that his state was the
"victim of archaic law and a moribund
constitution," and that he hoped the
amendment for direct election of sen
ators would be a "short cut across lots
that would give the people of poor,
downtrodden Rhode Island these privi
leges that had been taken from them
by moth eaten charters."
Raker of California. Tribble of
Georgia and other new members figured
In the debate. '..:.'-.--.,
Norria of Nebraska, Cooper of "Wis
consin and other leading republican in
surgents declared that everybody fav
ored the general idea, and that the
democrats did wrong to couple with it
language that might create doubt In
the minds of voters,' and among mem
bers of the state legislatures, a* to the
powers that were being surrendered by
the federal government. -"
Chairman Rucker, with the approval
of his democratic colleagues.'urged the
house to defeat all amendments to the

SHANGHAI THEORY UPSET
BY BOY'S GOODBY NOTE
Evidence Proves Melvin Donlin
Went Aboard Ship Willingly
OAKLAND. April 13.Evidence that
Melvin Donlin, the 13 year old news
boy who accused mates of the whaler
I.etitla of trying to shanghai him. went
aboard the vessel willingly, was given
to the Oakland police today by Mi
chael O'Brien, a umber of Eighth and
Clay streets. The boy had asked
O'Brien for work, and was at the shop
several times. The night before he
disappeared from hjs home at 1997 Cen
ter street the boy lefT under the door
of the shop a note to O'Brien which
read:
Mr O'Brien: Please tell my mother
that I am going to Alaska. I will come
back when my father treats my mother
and me right" *
The note was found by O'Brien, who
thinking It of no consequence, threw
it In a waste can. Then when he read
the accounts of the boy's rescue from
the Letltia O'Brien'obtained the note
and gave It to the police. Captain of j
Detectives Petersen sent the missive
to the San Francisco authorities.
I.etitia's Mate Exonerated
The charge of trying to shanghai '
Francis Donlin was dropped against
Fourth Mate Joe de Barrows of the
whaler l.etitia yesterday after the boy
confessed on the stand that he had the
sea craze until he was put to washing
dishes. Although he told the police he
was held a prisoner in the vessel's hold,
he admitted on cross examination that
he had the liberty of the decks and
several times stepped from th# vessel
to the Oakland wharf during the day he
claimed to be so detained. He also vis
lted the ship daily for a week while De
Barrows was visiting ashore. Com
missioner H. M. Wright then dismissed '
the case. .

fidavit,filed in the superior court here

late David A. Walker and named In his
will as the sole heir to' his $1,000,000
estate, answers and denies, charges

complaint of the special administrator.
SCIENTIST TELLS
OF HIS RELIGION
William D. McCracken Discusses
Progressive Features of
the Modern Cult
At the Valencia theater last evening.
William D. McCrackan spoke on the
topic, "Christian Science a Religion of
Progress." He said In part:
"This is an age of practical achieve
ment, and Christian Science is In thor
ough accord with the demands made for
proois. It lives and grows in favor with,
the needy of the earth by reason of
its fruits. Christian Science makes no
claim which it can not substantiate,
and so In this day or advance in every
department of human activity it Is de
monstrating its right to be known as
the religion of progress.
• "Not that-God, who constitutes the
basis, foundation and principle of all
tr eurellgion, ever changes or pro
gresses; not that the teachings of Jesus
the Christ, the founder of Christianity,
need to be revised or the bible rewrit
ten. We read In the scriptures that
with God there is neither variableness
nor shadow of turning; we also believe
that the precepts and warnings of Jesus
can never become antiquated, and that
the bible of our fathers, the great
treasure house of Christendom, when
spiritually Interpreted by Christian
Science suffices for our dally needs. The
thread of gold which gleams through
out the fabric of the bible will shine
forth forever to be apprehended by the
receptive thought everywhere.
DEMANDS REVISED BELIEFS
"Christian Science calls upon man
kind for a frank and fearless revision
of Its own beliefs about the unchanging
God, his man and his universe. This
age, which is not afraid to fly in the
face of the sun on filmy wings, is
asked to display the necessary courage
to pass In review the things Which per
tain to its own salvation from false
gods
"Why should not right and-Just views
concerning God and his universe be
capable of more precise statement?
Why should it be thought a thing un
reasonable with any one that God can
become better understood by the aver
age man than has been the case In the
past? Why should not the understand
ing of • how to grow In grace, how to
deepen and broaden one's spiritual con
cepts, progress according-to law? And
why should not this knowledge con- I
cerning the fountainhead of all knowl- j
edge, the Giver of all good gifts, the
absolute eternal Principle of All Life,
in whom we live and move and have
our beingwhy should not this knowl
edge constitute demonstrable science?
"Christian Scientists believe that it
does; that Jesus pointed out the only
true, final and real knowledge when he
said, 'And this is life eternal, that they
might know thee, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.'
SIN AND SICKNESS 77^7-7',
"It will hardly be necesary here to
Insist upon the. fact that religion should
save the sinner. Whatever may tbe the
doctrines which divide the various
branches of Christendom, all are agreed
at least upon this point, that it Is the
natural work of religion, the business
of Christianity, to save the sinner. But
there Is no such agreement regarding
the sick. Jesus healed the sick, his dis
ciples and apostles healed the sick, the
early Christians for some 300 years
after the * crucifixion healed the "sick,
by spiritual means; but during the In
tervening centures the world has more
and more relegated the healing of the
sick to a special profession,. using ma
terial means..
"Since Mrs. Eddy's discovery of Chris
tian science the healing of Jesus',time
has been reinstated, In accordance with
his unmistakable Injunction to his fol
lowers, and .today -hundreds of thous
ands of men, women and children •In all
portions of the globe rise to.bless the

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL A 1911.
CHESEBROUGH SAYS
NEW RATES PLEASE
Pacific Carriers Satisfied With
U. S. Pact on the
Isthmus -
——
Open Competitive Route Said
; to Be Assured by New
Arrangement
A. S. Cheesebrough of-the firm of
aßtes & Chesebrough returned from* the
east Wednesday night, where he had
been in . attendance at ' the conference
called by Secretary Dickinson of the
war department to adjust freight rates
by. way of the isthmus of Panama.
Chesebrough expressed complete satis
faction with the new arrangement.", ■*
The Pacific Mail at the present'time
is quoting a cut rate of $5 a ton on
freight from San Francisco to New
York by the isthmian route. This
was to have been discontinued, under
J the terms of the arrangement, on April
124. It will be allowed to remain in
force, however, until May 31. The ex
: tension to' May ill was made to meet
the cut of the | American Hawaiian
steamship company, which has put in a
special rate of $6 a ton by the Tehaun
tepec route, effective until the last day
of May. ";,\'-;..77,-
EFFECTIVE IN JUNE
With the first of June the new ar
rangement will go Into effect. It was
adopted by Secretary Dickinson after a
conference in which the following par
ticipated: Secretary Dickinson, E. A.
Drake, manager of the Panama railroad
company; R. R. Rogers, attorney for
the Panama railroad company; R. P.
Schwerin, manager of the Pacific Mail,
and Arthur S. Chesebrough of the Cali
fornia-Atlantic steamship line.
"The new arrangement," said Chese
brough yesterday, "will call for three
changes from the existing . compact.
First, there will be a change in the
division of the rate. The Pacific car
riers have been receiving 70 per cent
and the government 30.per cent for the
haul across the Panama and on the At
lantic. After June 1 the Pacific car
riers will receive 60 per cent and the
government 10. ." ,- .' <
"Under the second change, the Pana
ma railroad will receive 25 per cent on
the through haul on business carried
by our boats from Philadelphia to
Colon and again by our boats, up the
Pacific. :
FLAT RATE DOOMED
"The third change will mean the dis
continuance of the present flat rate of
40 cents per hundred pounds and the
substitution of a classified commodity
tariff .which is to be maintained by the
co-carriers of the Panama railroad
company, based on rates the average of
which will practically be 40 cents per
100 pounds. There will be no raising
of rates. They will merely be made
more equitable.
"It has been the desire of the gov- '
ernment to stop the cutting of | rates
and to protect the Panama route and
Its cocarriers against Tehuantepec or
any other competition and to maintain
the commercial features of the Panama
railroad as outlined by the adminis
tration when' it took over tha, canal;
strip. • This commercial feature is the
maintenance of an open, free competi
tive route.
NEW DOCK IN GOTHAM
"." "The government has shown its good
Intentions by increasing its facilities at
New York with a. new dock somewhat
larger than the old one. The govern-
I ment Is also taking steps to Increase its
| facilities at Colon and Balboa for han
dling the additional business which we
have developed by this route. It is
contracting for new and more efficient
electric cranes at Balboa, as well as
beginning the construction of two of
the piers at Balboa, which will be a
part of the permanent laying up basin
at the Pacific end of the canal.
"The question of canal tolls Is still
undecided, but the provisions of the
Mann bill, placing them at $1 per reg
istered ■ net ton,. will probably be
adopted eventually, although the bill
has failed of passage. The problem of
favoring by some means the American
tonnage is entirely undecided at this |
time. 'A_ T:'.' ■" f*", ,:;*.Y ;,A~'
"As far as the new arrangement to be '
put into effect by'the Panama* railroad
Is concerned, we are entirely satisfied.-
In fact, it is virtually as proposed by
us last February.
f'We find that we have built up a
business out of New York beyond the
capacity of the government's boats. To
relieve the congestion at New York, we
have had an extra steamer under char
ter on the Atlantic.",

Don't Grow Old Too Fast J
"A man is as old as his arteries." Old age is merely
a hardening of the arteries—and hardening of the [I
arteries comes from excessive eating of high-protein |
food such as meat and eggs. Cut down the high
protein diet for awhile and eat Shredded Wheat. It
; supplies all the body-building material in the whole
wheat prepared in a digestible form. Of course
SHREDDED WHEAT BISCUIT
will no,t "cure" .appendicitis— will any other cereal food." The
excessive eating of indigestible foods, however, gradually brings on
. stomach and bowel disordersand these can be prevented by a
daily diet of thoroughly cooked cereals. Shredded Wheat is best
for this purpose because it is steam-cooked, shredded and twice
baked, retaining the bran coat, which is so valuable in keeping
the bowels healthy and active. ,
I 'Heat the : Biscuit in the oven to restore crispness and serve with hot or cold milk and a little cream,
1 adding salt or sugar to suit the taste. It also makes delicious combinations with stewed or preserved
i fruits. Two Shredded Wheat biscuits with stewed fruit makes a wholesome nourishing meal.
