10 APPLAUSE FOR THE ANTI-LOTTERY CRUSADE. Dr. Brown's Congrega tion Demonstrates Its Approval. INDORSING THE "CALL." Eighty Thousand Dollars a Month Taken Out of Oakland. THE MOVEMENT IS POPULAR. Buying Two Bits' Worth of Hope for a Month— The Counterfeit Tickets. Quoting from the report of the Grand Jury. Rev. C. 0. Brown, in his address last evening in the First Congregational Church on "The Civic Federation at the Bar, 7 ' the reverend speaker read: The fact that newspapers continue to publish notices of lotteries is a crying shame, bat we are advised that It is not within the province of the Grand Jury to indict, a* the law is not made to cover more than a misdemeanor in these cases. This jnry desires to express to tho people of the City tho commendable course of such of its dailies as have now refused to advertise the drawings of the various lottery companie*. It is to be hoped that other proprietors will, in Justice to themselves and to the public, follow this good example, which will go well In the line of progress this State is now making- When the pastor finished reading these paragraphs the silence in the church was broken by loud applause, by the clapping of hands from all parts of the edifice, a manifestation that the example set by the Call in refusing to publish lottery adver tisements and lottery drawings has the in dorsement erf the people who are not law breakers. There was a large congregation in the First Congregational Church last evening to listen to Rev. Dr. Brown's address on the Civic Federation of this City. The pastor detailed what the Civic Federation is. He then asked what need was there for such an organization in this City? There was need for it because of the violation of the Juw regulating the elective franchise, gambling, indecent literature and obscene prints and photographs, lotteries, the social evil, side entrances to saloons, be cause liquor was sold to children. There were these •nd other evils, but at. the outset the Civic Federation was told by prominent officials that these things did not exist, that some evil places were order ly and that if there was any gambling or lottery carried on it was conducted without the knowledge of the police. "Now here I have an important docu ment. It is the report of the Grand Jury, and it sustains every affirmation made by the Civic Federation at the meetings held several months ago." The pastor then read an extract from the report to show that it sustained what the federation had declared about election frauds, and said that the portion which re flects on Judge Kelcher is something for citizens to ponder over. "What is wanted is purity at the ballot box and purity in the judiciary. Commenting on this portion of this re port he said that those .vho manipulated the frauds at the ballot box preferred to be indicted than tell of those who employed tnem, and the result was that the tools are wearinc stripes while those who employed them are walking the streets. He said that before the next election there will be euch a reformation that such frauds as have been perpetrated in the past would not be repeated. He read from the report about the Po lice Courts and Judge Campbell, and said that if the federation had not brought these matters to light it would have been the duty of some one else to do so. Reading from the report about dives and thr social evil, he said: "This report bears cut the federation again, but it says, 'In this con nection we have suggested to the police that there are many abandoned residence districts where vhe women of the half world might be compelled to take up their abode, and where their presence would not be demoralizing to the youth of both sexes.' Now I ask why, in the name of out raged womanhood, ought there to be any part of this city set apart to commit crime?" Referring to the side entrance evil, he said that the report again supported the charges made by the federation, and con tradicted that they were clftsed. He said the report suggested that respectable mer chants and saloon-keepers should co-oper ate with good citizens in suppressing this evil. He added that he did not have niueh of an opinion of saloon-keepers. Then t"he Rev. Mr. Crown read the por tion of the report relating to gambling and lotteries and opium dens. "The law against lotteries has been most flagrantly violated, and men who engage in this busi ness go from door to door offering to sell tickets. If one came to my door and offered me such I would order him to leave as quick as he could, and if he did not go quick enough I would help him to go." He then read the portion of the Grand Jury report which is quoted at the bead of this article, and said that every honorable newspaper man should stop the publication of advertisements relating to lotteries and making money by such means at the expense of the people of the community, and when he referred to the daily paper that has refused such, though not mentioning it by name, there was loud applause. He then spoke of the attacks that would naturally be made on the federation by those who thrive on crime and whose in terests would be affected. He said that all who jare engaged in the work of the federation are unselfish, and that Dr. Dille ought to be supported for what he has already done.

Gov't Report ABSOUJTES.Y PURE , in the report to Governor Budd, that should not militate against the federation, but, on the contrary, it should receive the support, hearty and sincere, of all who are in favor of honest, upright enforcement of the laws. Just before the closing hymn was being sung and before the benediction was pro nounced, the pastor was handed a card, and, advancing in the pulpit, he said that Judge Campbell was in the congregation and expressed a desire to speak in regard to what had been read from the Grand Jury report. The Judge was invited to the pulpit, and he made a short address, declaring that the matters charged against him were without foundation ; that this was the work of parties against whom he had ren dered judgments in saloon cases and of parties representing manufactures against whom he had decided; that they had sought to prevent his election, and that he had come out 3500 votes ahead of his op ponent. He then declared that he had always been and always intended to be on the side of morality. His remarks were applauded three times, and as he passed through the aisle to the rear of the church his hand was warmly shaken by many of the congregation. A POPULAR CRUSADE. The " Call " Has Gained Many Friends for Its Stand on the Lottery Question. It is better to be right than to be victor, is the spirit and intent if not the wording of a very ancient but very wise proverb. It is the spirit with which the Call began the anti-lottery crusade. It was with the determination to fight the lotteries as an evil to the commonwealth, to down them if possible, to decrease their power for harm at all events, whether the fight proved a financial loss or gain, a popular or an unpopular cause. Necessarily the right has proven a costly one. It often costs money to dare to stand for right and the truth. Necessarily to tight the lotteries meant the loss of a cer tain amount of advertising patronage for which the very highest rates are paid. .But the Call calculated the cost and would have entered the tight had it been a hundred-fold greater than it has been. Even the possibility of the cause being an unpopular one was considered before the crusade was started. In certain quar ters a loss of subscribers was to be ex pected if the lotteries were assailed. Nev ertheless the lotteries were assailed. And the result has not been disastrous — not to an appreciable extent. On the contrary the Call's anti-lottery crusade has won for it a thousand new friends for every subscriber lost, because of its unique attitude on the lottery ques tion. Unique, though a very pregrant word, expresses the situation in this City exactly. The Call stands alone among the great daily newspapers in its attitude toward the lotteries. It is not pleasant for one who takes a pride in his City to reflect that ail but one of its newspapers are con stantly breaking the law by opening its columns to lottery advertisements. But it is the truth. And those who consider the Call's atti tude an unpopular one, unique as it is in San Francisco journalism, are very much mistaken — as the Call has ample reason to know, and as but a little inquiry among the law-abiding people, both rich and poor, in and out of the churches, will readily prove. From all quarters have come words of praise for the Call's attitude on the lot tery evil; commendation of the Call's crusade against the pernicious tratlic as well as moral and active support in its behalf. "You would be surprised if you knew the number of church people that bought lot tery tickets," said a Western Addition man who has grown rich by selling lottery tickets and running a tiny cigar-stand, yesterday afternoon. "Thirty per cent of my customers in the last ten jcars have been members of churches in this City. For two years I sold a lottery ticket every month to a preacher of one of the Protestant churches in this part of the City. He doesn't patronize me any more, and I'll tell you why: I had a bet with a friend of mine that he was not a preacher. So to decide the bet, I up and asked him one day, 'Aren't you the Rev. So and So?' Isaskect him, right point blank. He answered that he was, but he never came here after that. I won tuc bet, but lost a customer. It wasn't a great loss, for he only bought one ticket a month, but if preachers can buy them, why should not laymen?" Because it is against the law for either laymen or preacherg to buy lottery tickets, and because a conscientious man can't square his own conscience on any such flimsy plea as that cf breaking the law be cause a minister of the gospel did so. If the preacher turned thief, that would not furnish even a fool with an excuse for petty larceny. But this is a lottery ticket-seller's story, and it may or may not be true. And if it is true it only makes the matter so much worse, the need of an aggressive crusade against the baneful traffic so much more pressing. If it be true that one minister of the gospel has so far forgotten the tenets of his high calling as to become even a mod erate gambler, it is certainly not true that the ministers of San Francisco as a body, either opanly or covertly, countenance the lottery evil. Every man of them, with this one possi ble and doubtful exception, is unalterably opposed to lottery gambling or gambling in any form. Not long since the Call pub lished brief interviews with the represen tative clergymen of this City of all sects and denominations. And among all the interviews there was not one that did not emphatically indorse the attitude of the Call on the lottery question and deplore the fact that the advertising columns of the other daily papers were still open to the pernicious advertisements of the lot teries. Those who declared themselves at tnat time were the Revs. W. D. Williams, Plymouth Church; George E. Walk, Trin ity; Dr. Dille, Central Mothodist; M. J. Fergusson, Christian; W. H. Moreland, St. Luke's; Robert Mackenzie, First Presby terian; John Hemphill, Calvary; W. E. Goodwin, California-street Methodist; Jacob Voorsanger, Temple Emanu-El; A. M.Russell, Hamilton-square Baptist; Dr. CO. Brown, First Congregational; A. C. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1895. Hirst, Simpson Memorial; J. A. Schroeder, St. Johannes; J. O. "Wahlberg, Swedish Methodist; Hermann Cordes, Emanuel; Paul Branke, St. Paul Lutheran; W. C. Pond, Bethany; Joseph Worcester, New Jerusalem; L. W. Sprague, Second Unitar ian ; Frederick Cordes, SahTrh Evangelical ; J. G. Mangold, St. John's Lutheran; J. A. Emery, St. Peter's; W. W. Bolton, St. Mary the Virgin; P. R. Lynch, St. James; William Schuldt, German Methodist, and Eli McClisb, Grace Methodist. The list stopped where it did only from lack of space. It need not have halted short of the last church in the City. Since that time there have been many evidences — if such were needed — to prove the sin cerity of the words spoken by these sincere men and earnest workers who lead the religious thought of this City. Take any preacher at random in the City. Ask him to tell you his views of the lottery business. You will hear but one opinion. The only difference is in the words. And here are some examples : The Rev. Dr. C. O." Brown, of the First Congregational Church, praised the Call as the pioneer in a spiendid crusade for the abolishment of one of the greatest gambling evils in California, and said he was triad to see the great headway that was being made in the movement. The Rev. Dr. A. C. Hirst, of the Simpson Memorial Church, said he wanted to go on record as in most hearty accord with the good work now being done by the Call against the lotteries. "It is gambling pure and simple," he declared, "and perhaps the very worst form of gambling, because it is the most insidious." Rev. Eli McClisli of Grace Methodist Church is also of the opinion that the lot tery traffic is the most insidious of all gambling: schemes. "I regard it as the worst form of gambling," said he, "be cause it is so far-reaching. It is not in ac cord with sound principles of trade nor morals, and I am glad that we have at least one great daily newspaper that is not afraid to say so." The Ilev. M. J. Fergusson, pastor of Christ Church, said he was gratified at the progress made by the Call in its anti-lot tery crusade. "It is an evil that imposes sometimes great hardships on the many for the enrichment of the few — this de moralizing traffic in lottery tickets," said he. "I cannot see how a conscientious newspaper publisher can reconcile his course in advertising a concern that is un der the ban of both the State and National laws." Rev. W. H. Morcland of St. Lake's Episcopal Church cannot understand how a newspaper that pretends to uphold the laws and advises the public to be law abid ing can, in the same issue, throw its adver tising columns open to the drawings of the lottery companies. "The Call's crusade is a good work and I am sure that much good will come from it." The Rev. Dr. Mackenzie of the First Presbyterian Church had nothing but con demnation for the lottery companies and for those who assist the evil in any way. "If every paper would follow the good ex ample set by the Call in the matter," said he, "the influence of the lottery would be greatly decreased." Rev. John Ilemphill of Calvary Church said he thought that if the newspapers would cease advertising their drawings that would have a tendency to lessen the great lottery evil because it would make the business more difficult to conduct and less profitable. Rev. W. E. Goodwin of the California street Methodist Episcopal Church said there could be no doubt of the evil effects of lottery gambling and that it was the duty of all law-abiding people to assist the Call's crusade against the traffic. Rev. Dr. W. 1). Williams of the Ply mouth Congregational Church is of the opinion that it is as reprehensible for the newspaper to publish lottery advertise ments as it is for the companies and their agents to make use of the mails to circulate the tickets. He condemned the lottery evil in the strongest terms. And, indeed, what preacher does not condemn the lotiery trafhc? A minister of the gospel friendly to lotteries is an an omaly not to be found in San Francisco, even if it is true that one preacher bought tickets. He did it against the dictates of his own manhood, against the mutterings of his own conscience — if he did it at all. TWO BITS WORTH OF HOPE. Enormous Sums of Money Taken Out of the City by the Various Lottery Companies. "One day I asked a poor workingman how much he earned a day. He told me. It was less than a dollar. Then I asked him if he could afford to buy a lottery ticket each month," said an otherwise very excellent woman who deals in lottery tickets to a Call man yesterday. "Do you know what he told me. He said if it was not for the hope he got with each ticket he would give up the btrugale and pass over the life line. He said he had no hooe of being able to better his con dition in any other way except by win ning in the lottery. He is a day laborer. "I know another case of an old woman who is a cripple. She picks up a living in some way— l hardly know how, but the living is very scant. She told me once she sat in her lenely garret so long that she knows every flower and figure on the wall paper, even to the smallest scratch or blemish on it. 'I sit there all day and hope,' she says. 'Every month I buy a two-bit ticket, and then the rest of the month I spend in picturing to myself the great prize I am going to win, and in calculating what to do with the money when I pet it. When the paper comes out and I see I have not won anything then my spirits fail for a time, but even then I h:ive the hope of another drawing to look forward to, and when I have bought the new ticket then I go on with my dreams of riches. What would Ido without those dreams?' "Now, you wouldn't want to take that hope away from these people, would you?" asked this woman. "It's the abuse of the tiling that's really bad," she went on to say. "I won't sell a man more lottery tickets in a month than I think he can afford to buy. I have refused many of them. But, of course, that doesn't do any good. He goes right off and buys all the tickets he \rants of the first street peddler he meets. The only satisfaction I get i 3 in the knowledge that I have none of his money that his family needs. "Do you know why it is that the street peddlers ao so well? It is because there are so many line ladies in the residence districts who would be afraid to go out and buy a lottery ticket in a store. But they want the tickets just the same, and some times they are even willing to pay the peddler * trine more than the price of the tickets just to keep him coming to the house regularly. "Some of those fine ladies up on Van Ness avenue buy nearly all the lottery tickets there are. Some of them spend as high as $100 a month in lottery tickets. You are surprised at that? •'Now, I don't really believe you know what you're writing about on this lottery question. You talk of one company clear ing up a quarter of a million in a few years. Do you know how much nioney the Little Mexican took out of Oakland in one month ? Of course you don't and maybe you won't believe me when I tell yon. "Well, they cleared $30,000 last month in Oakland. That is net, mind you— not the gross receipts. And all that money goes out of the State. Thafs why I am in favor of the State having a lottery of its own, so as to keep the money here and let the people benefit by it." It is well to know just what some people think about the lottery business and get their point of view. The opinions ex pressed by this woman, who is at heart a very good woman, is not an isolated opin ion. It is typical to a certain extent and it shows how great the evil is in this State and how pressing the need for a radical re form in this direction. perhaps, after all, the quickest way to cure the evil is to enlighten the public on the many lottery frauds there are in this City and the large number of counter feit tickets in circulation. One of the worst counterfeiters in this City is J. R. Fritz, a shell-game gambler and all-round blackleg, who has a hard time fighting shy of the police. He has sold thousands of counterfeit lottery tickets in this City and will probably sell a ereat many more. He is only on« of a couple of dozen rascals who make theirliv ing in the same way. Time and again the police have arrested them. They have paid their fines and gone back to their old game of deluding susceptible men and women that are weak and foolish enough to think they can get something for noth ing in this world. It is even safer to spend a dollar in buy- ROBERT McARTKUR, JAMES SIIANLY, A. J. FRITZ, Stroke Olympic Bowing Club. Manager Acme Club. President South End Bowing Club.

PEOTESTS EASILY SETTLED. Trophies and Medals Given to Victors at the South End Club's House. The junior Olympic amateur club settled the dispute over the Long Bridge regatta of two Sundays ago by winning the row over race yesterday, and it won it fairly — by a long steady stroke and good handling of the rudder. When the controversy over the June 2 regatta was heard a week aco Wednesday night in Judge Barry's courtroom at the new City Hall it was understood that two at least out of the seven clubs would not go in yesterday's pull. These were the Ariels and St. Marys clubs. Captain Harry Bren nan of the Ariels had entered the protest against the Olympics claiming a foul and when the debate became heated and Judge John Elliott, representing the Olympics, issued a direct challenge to the Ariels, Judge J. 8. Uyland promptly accepted it on behalf of" the latter, which meant a separate contest of oarsmanship. Concerning the St. Mary's College Club, it insisted at the meeting that, as it had fairly secured second place, trie decision should so award it; but Referee Whidden concluded otherwise, which was rather un fortunate for the St. Mary's Club, seeing that the commencement exercises at the college would stand in the way of its row ing the race over again. Her crew, how ever, was given the privelege of challeng ing the winner, and may do as the Ariels — put the Olympics to a separate test. A reason of policy kept the South End crew from lining up for the start. It feared that it would be charged with hav ing so manipulated the controversy as to bring about a second race, to get a" chance of winning the silver cup, which its own rowing club was offering as a prize. This left only four clubs to pull the race for the junior championship, namely: Olympics, Acmes of Oakland, Pioneers and Dolphins. The start was made a little after 10 a. m., and was a very even one. The Dolphins had a little the best of it, but soon the Olympics got the lead, and maintained it for the entire course — one and a half miles Jong witli turn. It was a close struggle between the Acmes and Pioneers for second place up to the turn, for the Dolphins bad soon been passed by the other three barges, but at the stake buoy the Acmes forced the nose of their boat ahead of the Pioneers, and before the finish put several boat lengths between them. The Acmes might have made a much better turn. They had the tirst buoy, but feared they might have the same experi ence as the Ariels had the last time, which was to strike mud, it being as before, an ebb tide. To the coxswain of the Pioneers a slight mishap occurred. His tiller-rope slipped from his hand fora moment, which accounted probably for the Pioneers fall ing behind. The Olympics won by about two lengths in 10:12, with the Acmes second, the Pioneers a slow third aud the Dolphins considerably distanced. Quite a crowd gathered on the long pier to see which of the four-oared barges would prove victorious. The crews of the contesting clubs were the same as those of two Bundavs ago, except that Carroll of the Ariels acted as coxswain of the Acmes instead of Fritz Denke, and the Dolphins had a different stroke. This was made cause for protest, but not until the Acmes had gone first on record as protestants. The Acmes tiled a written protest early in the morning against the Olympics," urging that the ten days' ban of the Pacific Amateur Athletic Association would not expire until mid night, and should bar the Olympics from the race. Referee Whidden was of the opinion that under the rules of the association the regatta committee had full right to decide such a contest, and Chairman Hergert and the other members of the committee promptly concluded to disallow the pro test, on the ground that the position of the Olympics was identically the same as it was on May 30, when it was decided to have the regatta, and could not be affected by an ex post facto ruling of the associa tion. The Olympics having, in retaliation, entered a protest against the Acmes, and also the Dolphins, magnanimously with drew its objections. The names of the Olympic and Acme crews were: Olympic— F. A. Gorman, bow; H. B. Graham, forwardwaist; J.W.Morton, afterwaist: Rob ert Mac Arthur, stroke; T. Gilfeather, coxswain. Acme— James Kenua, bow: Frank Simpson, forwardwaist; Clarence Staples, afterwaist; J. W. Bird, stroke; J. Carroll, coxswain. The Acme crew is rather new at the business. Only two months ago Manager James SWaniy got it together, and he feels proud of its success. It rowed in the Ariel's new barge— the first time in that boat. After the regatta, Presidpnt Al J. Fritz of the South End Boat Club, under the auspices of which the reeatta was rowed presented the silver cup offered by the club to the victorious Olympics, and the 6eeond prize gold medals to the members of the Acme crew. The Mitchell trophy was also presented to the South End Club for its victory in the senior championship race, and the medals won by the Pioneers, who were second in that pull, were also given to this crew. The Stockton Club has invited the elnbs of this City and Oakland to participate in the Fourth of July regatta there, which will consist of a senior barge race, a junior barge race and a single-oared sculling race. For the sculling race the South Ends will probably enter their champion stroke, Frank Duplissea, and it. is expected Frank Butler, the Stockton stroke, will represent his club. The South Ends will lend to the Olympics junior crew a barge, and if the Acmes can secure a barge they will also go into the junior race. The Stockton Club has remembered the South End Club's hospitality by fitting resolutions. There will be a Venetian carnival on McLeod's Lake on the evening of tbe Fourth. The success of the Lons Bridge regatta has been due to the efforts of Messrs. Fritz, Whidden, Herbert, Mitchell, Will Humphrey, John McCarthy and other local aquatic enthusiasts.
