THE COUNCIL IN
SECRET SESSION
Rules Governing Their
Meetings Formally
Discussed.
LAWYERS NOT ALLOWED
Dr. Brown Charged by Young
Mason With Intimidating a
Weil-Known Lady.
MRS. COOPER IS CONFIDENT.
Miss Overman Says That When Her
Story Is Told Dr. Brown Will Be
Fully Vindicated.
*
The ecclesiastical council called to pass
on the merits of the charges made by
Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Davidson and Mrs.
Stockton, alleging certain immoral acts on
the part of their pastor, Rev. Dr. C. O.
Brown, will convene to-day at 2 o'clock in
the lecture-room of the First Congrega
tional Church. '
As a matter of fact the council began its
existence yesterday by holding an in
formal meeting in the office of Deacon
Barnard. Representatives of the press
were expelled from the meeting, Dr. Mc-
Lean saying, in explanation, that the
gathering was simply to discuss in a gen
eral way rules governing the deliberations i
of the council. Just before the meeting j
adjourned a resolution was passed not to j
give to the public any of the matters dis- |
cussed.
The entire council, except the delegates
from San Jose, was present when Dr. Mc-
Lean, as chairman rapped for order.
Deacons Barnard, Dexter, Vasconcellos.
Dewing and Attorney M. S. Woodhams
also participated in the three hours' in
formal discussion. Attorney Woodhams
Outlined the case a- he understood it, tell
ing of the numerous letters he had re
ceived, in which the writers made certain
grievous charges against Dr. Brown. He
wanted to know what he should do with
such communications. The council
agreed that the evidence introduced must
be either in the form of sworn statements.
properly attested, or from the lips of the
parti* - directly making the charges. Gen
eral insinuations would not be considered
at all.
It was also determined to deny the prin
cipals in the scandal legal representatives.
Tarties having charges to prefer against
Dr. Brown will be permitted to do so with
out prejudice. The pastor will then be
called on to rebut such accusations, singly
< r collectively, according to the wisdom
of the council. Dr. Brown will be allowed
to introduce witnesses in his behalf on
properly attested affidavits, should the
occasion demand it.
Just before the meeting: adjourned an
effort was ma by several of the most
prominent members of the council to pass
a resolution excluding members of the
press from the church during the delibera
tions of that body, ln fact, the resolution
was passed by a slight majority, but one
of the deacons moved to reconsider, and,
after a lengthy argument, succeeded in
defeating the measure.
"The meeting of the council, be it ever
so informal, is an entirely uncongrega
tional proceeding," said a member of the
First Church last night. "It has no more
right to meet before the time called than
a jury selected to try a man for mur
der. If Dr. Brown felt so inclined, and I
Know that he does not, he could refuse to
appear before this tribunal, and, further,
demand that a new council be called. The
rules of our church are very plain on this
point. The only time a council can legally
meet in secret is defined in 'Dexter's
Manual of Congregationalism' (rule 7,
section 10). It reads as follows:
A council always, after having heard all
which it deems expedient to hear in the way
of testimony and argument, decides in private
consultation as to the nature of the advice
which it shall give. The course usually taken
after the secret session is to call the roll and
request each member briefly to indicate the
nature of that advice which' thinks under
\)>.t- circumstances ought to be given. Com
monly then a committee is appointed to frame
a written result which shall substantially em
body the main conclusion reached. Their re
port is discussed and, perhaps, amended, until
It takes such shape that, if possible, by unani
mous vote it can be adopted.
"The pastor has a right to be at every
meeting, and it is clearly not right for a
body selected to decjare his guilt or inno
cence of most serious charges to go into
secret session at any time. Dr. Brown is
anxious, however, to get at the bottom of
the whole affair, and consequently will
throw no obstacles in the way of an imme
diate and complete investigation."
Dr. Brown was much suprised last night
•when informed of the secret session, but
said he was confident the council had
taken no action that would in anyway
affect the evidence he had to introduce to
clear his name from the foul charges made
by irresponsible parties.
Concerning the statement made in an
afternoon paper, in which Dr. Brown is
credited with having threatened a young
lady with exposure for certain alleged im
moral acts if she did not cease opposing
him, Mrs. Brown said last night:
Dr. Brown has never threatened to blacken
the name of any young lady, as was affirmed
in last evening's Bulletin, in fact, for more
than a year he has carefully protected that
young lady's name in a matter which, while
be himself has not allowed himself to think
evil, would be very harshly judged by a criti
cal world.
That young lady had recently allowed herself
to join those who are bitterly opposing my hus
band, and he simply said to her, in my pres
ence, that one wno had. been so charitably
treated and who was fully aware of her obliga
tion, should not herself be so uncharitable,
lie has DO thought of publishing her name.
On the contrary, he would do all in. his power
to protect her as in the past, unless her foolish
friends mate it impossible.
It is the purpose of the young lady's
friends to present this matter to the coun
cil, provided a way can. be devised to keep
her name from the public. James Mason,
who it seems is a friend of the young lady,
said last night that this threat of Dr.
Brown's against an innocent and defense
less young woman was not the least of his
tins. Mr. Mason proposes to take an ac
tive part in the prosecution of Dr. Brown.
"As an evidence of the manner in which
I have been handled by the press since
this scandal came up," said Dr. Brown last
night, "here is a statement from the Sac
ramento correspondent of one of our morn
ing dailies. The gentleman took dinner
at my bouse Saturday and voluntarily
offered the following:
San Francisco, Feb. 15, 1896.
In an interview which Correspondent
Brown, resident correspondent in Sacramento
for the San Francisco' Chronicle, sought and
insisted upon getting, and which he promised
would De put upon the telegraph, wires ver
batim as I had written it, I said, in substance,
that I became acquainted with Dr. Brown
about five years ago, when I was a staff re
porter on tne laeoma News, and used to re
port his sermons, delivered at the First Con
gregational Church in that city. Also, that at
about the same lime I met Miss Mattie Over
man and her sister, ffho then attended Ep
worth Methodist Episcopal Church, and who
weie respected by ail woo knew them. I fur
ther said that I. believed the case one of black
mail, pure and simple.
The interview was never published, presum
ably because it was not the kind of an inter
view the paper sought, or because it contained
no news.
The time of which I speak was near the Ist
of January. 1896— December 30, 1 believe, is
. the exact date. • CHARLES E. Arnold.
''The carbon copies of the Blanchard
j affidavit," continued the pastor, "had not
; been corrected, as already explained, by
: me, but that this was no fault of mine the
: following signed statement- from Mr.
Benchley will show: ,/•".-..". o. v
j San Francisco, Feb. 17, 1896.
It is due Dr. Brown to say that, through an j
! inadvertence of the copyist, the carbon copies
i of Mrs. Blanchard's deposition were not cor- |
rected. The original deposition went to the i
Examiner and that paper was correct.
W. B. Benchley, Notary Public.
There were many applications yesterday
for tickets to the council meetings. Many
were turned away because they were either
not in good standing or under the age of
: IS years. W. F. Cook, a regular attendant j
j at "the First Church, though not a worker, J
j applied for a ticket, but was promptly re
j fused. Captain Cook will attend the coun
• cil, however, for he has charges to present
: against Dr. Brown.
Ii was practically determined at the in- >
, formal session of the council yesterday .
! that Dr. McLean would be made mod
erator and Rev. George B. Hatch of Berke
ley scribe. Dr. Holbrook will formally j
open the meeting to-day.
: When a reporter visited the home of Dr. ;
Brown last night he found the pastor, his j
wife and Miss Overman in apparently a
very happy frame of mind. Miss Over- !
man was asKed if she felt at all nervous I
over appearing before the council.
"Not in the least/ she answered, with a I
smile. "I am not nervous, neither am I j
fearful of the outcome. I agree with Mrs.
Cooper that there can be but one ending, j
and that is truth will triumph. No one )
knows better what that will be than my- '•
self— a full and complete vindication for j
j Dr. Brown."
MONEY IN SAN JOAQUIN
Banker George W. Faneher on
the Improved Conditions
There.
The Californians Are. Expensive, He
Says, and Do Not Live Within
Their Incomes.
, George W. Faneher, for many, years
president and manger of the Bank of
Merced, is in the City. Mr. Faneher says
the indications are that there will be a
good yield of all kinds of products in that
part of the San Joaquin Valley this year.
He thinks the hard times are over and
that we are on the up grade. However, he
says the people generally are spending too
much money. They have got into expen
sive ways and find it difficult to shake off
the habits contracted in flush times.
Mr. Faneher has not been in very good
health for some time. He is therefore

avoiding heavy work. As for the railroad
to Yosemite from Merced, which has been
proposed for some time, he thinks it will
be built, but also believes that it would be ;
more profitable for the Southern Pacific to
do it than for individuals. It could build
a great hotel, the same as at Del Monte
and other places, and one way and another
make a good deal of money. Said the !
financier:
I have no doubt that we shall see much bet- I
ter times in California and all over the coun
try from this on. Along toward 1000 we ought ,
to have a great deal oi prosperity. ' I
The fact is we are. an expensive people, and :
have been for many years spending more than
we could afford. We have not kept within our
incomes, bat have gone and got credit wher
ever we could, and paid nothing till we had to.
It was this kind of a course that put most
people in such bad shape when the paniccame
on. They owed too much to be able to pay it, j
and they went to the wall. Men who had $1000
or $1500 had gone into business. They had 1
$5000 or $0000 worth of goods, and had to
have extra help and pay salaries and other ex
penses, and yet expected to get out all right.
This is about the basis people worked on. No
wonder they got caught. What we want is
more safety and conservatism in business.
The outlook forthe San Joaquin Valley is
certainly good. We will need a little more rain,
but thus far we are in excellent shape.
Mr. Faneher will be here for some time.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1896.
CORPORATION "ECONOMY"
A Vigorous Protest From Market
Men Against the Gas Com
pany. •
! DARK STREETS BEFORE DAWN.
The Contract With the City Openly
Violated to the Discomfort of
the Taxpayers.
A loud roar and a vigorous kick would
be a mild way of putting the complaints
of the early-rising market men against the
San Francisco Gaslight Company for what
they term a breach of contract in extin
guishing the street lamps in the early
hours of the morning.
This wail of woe in the shape of a com
plaint comes principally from the commis
sion men engaged in the fruit and poultry
line, whose business takes them out in the
early hours of the morning. These men
open their stores as early as 4 o'clock in the
morning. These, with butchers, drivers
of bakery and milk wagons have tbe op
portunity of noticing the peculiar streaks
of economy indulged in by the gas com
pany's lamplighters in putting out the
street lamps long before the hour stipu
lated in the contract with the Supervisors
for the lighting of the public streets.
The following section has been accepted
by the gas company in its contract with
the City as that which should bind it in
good faith to keep the street lamps lighted :
The last lamp upon each lamplighter's beat
to be lighted one-half hour alter sunset and
flo be extinguished one hour before sunrise;
provided that during the months of November
to February, inclusive, in each year no lamp
shall be lighted during the night of full moon
aud the" night preceding and the night follow
ing; also that during the months of March to
October, inclusive, In each year no lamps shall
be lighted during the night of full moon two
nights preceding and the night following.
How faithfully this section of the con
tract is being carried out by the party of
the second part is ascertained by the re
marks of a few of the early rising fruit
commission merchants.
"It has been my custom for the past ten
years to rise every morning in the winter
season at 4 o'clock," said Fred W. Butler
of 504 Sansome street, "and I generally
get out in about lilteen minutes so I
may get down to my place of business as
near to 5 o'clock as lean. Heretofore I
had a horse and wagon, but since the
'wheel' came into vogue I use it, thus
saving the expense of keeping the horse;
and very seldom, if ever, have I seen a
street lamp lighted on my way down.
"I live on Broderick street, between Mc-
Allister and Fulton, and ride down Golden
Gate avenue to Sansome street, and all
aiong that line I find no street lamps
lighted. '
"When they are extinguished I do not
know, as it is dark and dismal, and it is
with the greatest caution that I am en
abled to steer my way along the streets.
Of course, you cannot tell what obstruc
tions may have been placed on the streets
over night. A sewer may have caved in, or
something may have been dropped from
passing wagons during the night that can
not be seen by a .person riding a wheel
until it is too late to avoid it. This fear of
being thrown down is very trying on the
nervous system, even supposing there
should be no obstacle in the way. If the
street lamps were left lighted it would
save all this trouble, and perhaps save
some man's life."
. 'The grievance set forth by Mr. Butler
was corroborated by almost every com
mis-ion merchant in a similar line of busi
ness. ||IV illHimilillllP^jj
J. P. Corriea, whose residence is at 607
Stockton street, and whose place of busi
ness la at the same place as Mr. 'Butler's,
said: yy y
"I generally leave mv bouse at 4 o'clock
in the morning, and I find the street
lamps all out. But I have become so ac
customed to come, down the California
street hill that I can manage it in the dark.
Yet that is no excuse for the gas company
in putting out the lamps."
William Dale of 502 Sansome street was
less pronounced than was his neighbors,
as the lamps about his residence at North
Beach were left lighted in the morning,
but Sansome' and Battery streets were
da rk. .
P. B. Lorigan of 513 Sansome street,
who lives at 843 Castro street, had a sim
ilar grievance as had Mr. Butler.
H. E. Chick, who lives at 222 Diamond
street; and whose place of business is at
320 Washington street, had failed to see
any street lamps lighted on Sansome, Bat
tery or the cross streets at 5 o'clock in the
morning. v , '
P. Spavier, who resides at 1007 McAllis
ter street, his place of business being at
317 Washington stieet, failed to see any
street lamps lighted at 5 o'clock in the
morning, and as a' precaution against
abrased shins from dry-goods boxes and
empty barrels he takes the center of Bat
tery street, giving the sidewalks a wide
berth.-
K. K. Malcolm of 816 Filbert street has
only half a 'complaint. The' lights are
burning at his residence section, but are
extinguished down on the City front.
Charley Nauman of 508 Sansome street,
who resides at 662 Shot well, joins in the
roar, although he is provided with a horse
and wagon, and as a consequence is belter
protected against street obstructions; yet
if the lights were burning be would be
better satisfied, as he could see the ap
proach of highwaymen or dangerous
A continuation of names could be had
sufficient to fill a whole column of The
Call if necessary to show that the gas
company is using strict economy on its
end of the contract, and that the lights
are. sometimes extinguished at least two
hours before sunrise, which is at 5:34
o'clock to-day.
The present contract between the City
and San Francisco Gaslight Company
went into effect on the Ist of August, 1894,
for the term of two years, at the compensa
tion of 12 cents per lamp per night.
EXPERT PIGEON SHOOTERS
.Gentlemen Sportsmen Who
Compete for Cash
Prizes.
Rules That Do Not Make a Distinction
Between the Amateur and
Professional.
Now that so much has been said and
written concerning athletes and wheel
men who have been charged with pro
fessionalism some of the New York papers
have taken up the cudgel against amateur
sportsmen who make a practice of shoot
ing pigeons from traps for cash prizes.
The New York Spirit of the Times, com
mencing upon a pigeon shoot which took !
place recently, said that the first money '
was divided between two men, each re
ceiving $475; the second received $210, and
the third took $70 as his share of the prize.
The article goes on to state that if these
same gentleman who had won cash prises
at trap .shooting had run, or jumped, or
rowed, or wrestltd for the same prizes,
they would be immediately classed as pro
fessionals, but as they are only pigeon
shots they are still "gentlemen ama
teurs," and that many intelligent people
are not sufficiently acute to understand
such anomalies.
The laws which were made purposely to
keep the gentleman athlete and wheelman
from associating with the professional by
meeting the last named in open competi
tion would materially alter the present
conditions governing trap-shooting tour
naments and matches if the trap-shoot
ing clubs. and associations were in any
way connected with the Amateur Athletic
Union of the United States, the laws of
which are very strict as regards the giving
of cash prizes for contests of any kind.
Of recent years a number of men who i
had gained fame because of their ability
to kill pigeons, both of the live and arti- j
ficial kinds, received lucrative positions
from large gun and ammunition establish
ments. Those expert pigeon-grassers
are dispatched through the country
to advertise certain makes of powder.
They generally manage to arrive at some
town or city when a big tournament is in
progress, and as there are always "open"
contests and pool-shoots ad libitum the j
professional never fails to rake in a good
sized pot, together with scoring a good bit !
of free advertising for whatever implement I
of bird torture he may be canvassing. Lo
cal trap-shooters have buta meager chance
of winning a good purse from any of the
many famous trap-shooters who are now,
traveling in the interest of powder and
gun firms. If the trap-shooting associa
tions were connected with the Amateur
Athletic Union there would be very poor
gold-dust picking for the many profession!
trap-shooters who are now traveling
through the country, and, besides, the
sport, which is becoming very popular,
would remain free from tarnish*.
This is how the Sporting Life of New
York sums up the situation:
We consider a pigeon shooter a professional
when he makes a living or part of his living
from the money he wins by shooting individ
ual matches or who follows a tournament for
the sole purpose of adding to his bank ac
count. The definition of a professional Is "be
longing to one's profession" ; profession means
vocation, vocation a trade, calling or occupa
tion. Therefore a professional shot is one
whose vocation or trade is shooting. Such
men as Helkes, Elliott, Brewer, Carver, Van
Dyke and a lew others are professional shots in
a strict sense of the word, but men who shoot
against them in open matches are not made
professionals by so doing, but if an amateur
wheelman raced against a professional he
would be barred from future contests in the
amateur class, but not so with the pigeon
shooter. li every shooter who has contested
in the same events in which a professional was
entered were thus made professionals there
would hardly be an amateur shooter in the
country.
In that case a man who never fired a gun in
his life could enter a match in which a profes
sional was shooting and even if he never killed
a bird he would at once become a professional
marksman, and be ready to attend shoots and
lose a few thousand dollars before he would
awake to the fact that it did not pay. There
are many expert marksmen who attend nearly
all the big tournaments who are purely
amateurs. They have "money to burn" in
powder and enjoy the sport and associations to
that extent that they will stand a loss as cheer
fully as a profit. These men pay for their sport
and are. under no obligations to any gun
manufacturers, powder or shell companies,
and always pay their expenses from their own
pockets, and try to win enough by their skill to
repay them in a measure for the outlay in en
joying this fascinating but somewhat expen
sive recreation. Such men are amateur shoot
ers, and cannot be classed as professionals
until they receive pay from some firm or in
dividual for their services as a marksman.

Six Hundred .Feathered Songsters in
Michigan's Principal Prison.
Convicts in the Michigan State Prison
have many more favors than those of al
most any other penitentiary in the United
States, and it is the belief of the manage
ment of the institution that for this rea
son there are fewer outbreaks or lawless
ness than are found elsewhere. Among
the favors granted to them here is that of
keeping and caring for birds. There are
fully 600 feathered songsters in Michigan's
principal penal institution, all owned and
cared for by the convicts, and as soon as
daylight approaches on bright mornings
their sweet notes are beard In striking con
trast to the natural feelings of their own
ers.
Many of the most hardened criminals,
from their general appearance and his
tory, would not be expected to care for
anything of a refined nature, yet they ten
derly care for and caress their little pets
More than three-quarters of the cells in
the prison contain one or more canaries
and they are also found in various shops
throughout the institution. During the
day the cages are hung outside the cells to
give the birds light and air, but as soon as
the convict returns from work at night the
cage is taken inside.:
The practice has been carried on in the
prison for years, and the officials say that
instead of any detrimental effect being no
ticeable the little songsters have proved a
benefit, as they, not only give the cells
a more homelike appearance, but they also
wield a decided influence in the way of
humanizing the most reckless and hard
ened criminal, y " ■:. y r y-
Besides being permitted to keep the
birds, for the sake of their company and
influence v tlje convicts are also allowed to
raise them to sell, and many a dollar is
credited to the accounts of the prisoners
from this source. Of course the convict
handles none of the money realized from
the sale of the birds until he is discharged,
but it is placed to his credit in the prison
bank. Chicago News." y y

THE BRITISHER IN FRONT
Cleverly -Ridden by Willie Mar
tin, Imp. Star Ruby Took
. the Handicap.
FOUR FAVORITES IN FRONT.
Wheel of Fortune Was No Match for
Speedy Yankee Doodle, Who
Won Easily.
The "Statuesque Englishman," Star
Ruby, is developing into a groat horse
over distance of ground. He picked up
114 pounds in the mile and a sixteenth
handicap at Ingleside yesterday and, ad
mirably ridden by Willie Martin, won
very cleverly in the fast time for the track
of 1:48. The handsome bay opened an 8
to 5 favorite in the betting, but there was
such a stiff play on Cabrillo, who was
backed from 3 to 2%, that 2 to 1 was laid
against him going to the post. Iron Lo
gan was in considerable demand at 14 to 5.
Martin, on the favorite, contented himself
with letting Cabrillo cut out the pace to
the stretch, when he gave the Englishman
his head and, assuming the leaa, won
cleverly by a neck. Logan, who is evi
dently in need of a rest, was a poor third.
The sport throughout was excellent and
the big crowd indulged in some brisk spec
ulating. The Australian starting machine
was used to dispatch three of the fields

with the usual pronounced success. The
twelve starters in the second event were
sent away to a perfect alignment in less
than half a minute. -
The favorites met with more than usual
success, four out of six | getting home in
front. Old Tim Murphy surprised the na
tives by making a runaway race of the last
event of the day at odds of 15 to 1, with
Eddie Jones in the saddle.
The even money favorite, Minnie Ccc,
led throughout in the opening seven-fur
long run, winning handily by two lengths
from the second choice, Hazard. :y
--! Twelve started in the next event, a six
furlong selling sprint, with Brametta rul
ing a2to 1 choice. The favorite was never
affected with superfluous speed and failed
to show. Coming strong in the stretch,
the 3% to 1 second choice, Gold Bug, won
driving by a length and a half from
Veragua. John Bobbin's mare, Mollie R,
was third, but a short head farther back.
After opening up an 8 to 5 favorite for
the mile handicap over four hurdles,
Three Forks went back in the betting to
2]/, to 1 from the force of coin that went in
on Cicero, Arundel, Silverado and Arctic.
When the flag fell Cairns on Three Forks
went out in the lead, and. running like a
wild horse, the speedy jumper won in
romping fashion, with Arundel in the
place. Silverado was third in a drive.
Those who expected to see a rattling
contest between Yankee Doodle and Wheel
of Fortune in the sever.-furlong purse race
were disappointed. The plungers all
placed their coin on the Yankee horse's
chances, backing him down from 6 to 5 to
9to 10. The mare was well backed at 11 to
5. Agitator, a rank outsider, set a merry
clip out in front to the far turn, where
Gratify took up the runnine and was first
Into the stretch, followed by Yankee Doodle
and the "Wheel." Straightened for the
wire Yankee Doodle drew away at ease,
winning by a length. In a hard drive the
Wheel nipped the place from Gratify by a
short head..
Boreas was a 7 to 5 chance for the last
race of the day at six furlongs, but Tim
Murphy, with 15 to 1 about him in the
ring, passed the favorite shortly after the
gate sent them away and never headed
won by a length. Walter. J made a fine
run, .being beaten by a scant head for the
place by Boreas. - :

To-morrow will be ladies' day at Ingle
side.
Madden was indefinitely suspended by
the judges for his ride on Arctic in the
hurdle race.
Tne great three-cornered contest be
tween Basso, Oakland and Cadmus over
two miles on ladies' day has" aroused
great interest among horsemen. All three
owners feel confident their horse willcarrv
away the $2000 purse, and the affair prom"
ises to be a great betting event.
Riley Grannan still has coin enough to
buy a piece of ginger-bread or a glass of
red circus lemonade. Up to the last race
heJiad backed every winner, and they
were not $2 wagers either. He bet Johnny
Coleman $2000 against $2400 on Yankee
Doodle, and he told him he could keep on
writing tickets at that figure until he grew
tired. Johnny was quickly troubled with
a feeling of ennui, and rubbed to 9 to 10.
The Australian starting machine has
scored such a pronounced hit with the
race-going public that during the two
weeks' meeting to follow the present one.
which closes on Wednesday, the gate will
be used exclusively. The Pacific Coast
i Jockey Club drew up a contract with Mr.
Lopez yesterday which only awaits rati
fication and signature.
Balfe-Moore Concert.
The concert of the Balfe-Moore Club to be
given this evening in Metropolitan Hall,
promises to be a grand success financially as
well as artistically. The fact that it is partly
given for the benefit of a charitable sisterhood
—the Sisters of the Holy Fatally of St. Charles
parish— has assured most encouraging support.
All tho music v.- ill be selections from the
ancient melodies of Ireland and from the
modern Irish composers— Balfe, Wallace and
