Ryan, who, so far as the . public knew or cared, was until yesterday only his own can didate for mayor, has a party j William Randolph Hearst, sor rowing over the plight of the partyless boy candidate, has kindly exhumed the bones of the defunct Independence league and with a few bold scratches of the editorial pen has made Ryan »Ihe doodle dee candidate for mayor and a very happy young man. Repudiated by the majority of the republicans whose will he thwarted when he ordered his job chasing dele gates to 'nominate him for mayor and watching even the job chasers taking their cold feet to the Taylor hearth. Pyan was a sad political orphan until earst took out letters of guardian- Lip. It was a smiling Ryan who faced * forlorn lieutenants yesterday. He beamed his delight as he feasted his eyes on the Examiner's announce ment of fealty to the candidate whose nomination It had • denounced as a "grotesque piece of effrontery." He called it a peach and his lips smacked in anticipatory delight — all unmindful of tho lemonade possibilities of - the package of fruit that had been tied to him. Ryan made no attempt to conceal his joy over the support of the man whom republicans execrate as morally re sponsible for the afisassination of President McKinley. His adoption by Ilcarft and the Examiner, Ryan pro tested, was "po unexpected" — a charm ing surprise in fact. He" was so grate ful that he declined to embarrass his benefactor by making public the terms under which he became the Instrument of Hearst's latest a.ttempt ( to seize the government of San Francisco. The way Ryan put it Hearst had de parted from his well defined political bargaining system to rush to the sup port of a young 'm/m who was alto gether good and a republican. Ryan de clined to explaln^how he would recon cile the support of a journal of anarchy with the principles of the republican party he has attempted to subjugate. ' He refused also to let his mind wander from the enjoyment of his peach to a consideration of how he could compel the few republicans remaining in hi* camp to submit to fellowship with Hearst. It 'migTht prove a bitter pill for th* Ryan camp followers to swallow, but it looked like candy to Ryan. And such cheap candy: Tlie sweets of Hearst support had "been secured. Ryan said, without a promise on his part. He did not promise to take pro gram from Hearst in the event of his election. Never! Hearst had exam ined the life of the youngest candidate end that examination "had convinced Patriot Hearst that in Partisan Ryan he had discovered a prototype. To se cure the backing of Hearst, Ryan said, he had not . be*n compelled even to promise that h«* would deliver the com pact republican party machine he built to the dodo of the doodle dees.

PASTOR STORMS CHURCH AND IS TAKEN TO JAIL Rev: Lyall de Jarnett Is Vbrtex of Religious Whirlpool CONGREGATION SPLIT Trustee Who Holds Doors Is Arrested for Disturbance BLOWS SEEM NEAR Sheriff Takes Possession of Sanctuary and Flock Special by Leased Wire to The Call \ SANTA CRUZ, Oct. 20.—Af ter two months of unbrotherly dissension the factional fight in the Christian church of this city flamed out into a row which nearly developed a muscular va riety of ' Christianity. The forces behind the pastor, Rev. Lyall de Jarnett, and the forces that want him ousted went to church today and a struggle ensued for posses sion of the house of the Lord. Ul timately the sheriff took posses sion and the quarrel will : bei set tled peacefully' in the courts. Dr. de Jarnett was 'first to arrive at the church. The doors were locked and on 'the arrival of reinforcements an at tempt was made to gain entrance forci bly. Charles M. Lewis, one, of the trus T tees and for years: a member Of the church, apparently had passed the night there and would not unlock the door. He is opposed to the preacher. ' The lat ter, threatened to break down the doo\, but before it was done a warrant was served on Lewis for disturbing: the peace. Sheriff Craf ton warned the ex cited Christians not to enter the church, and then he went after Lewis, who sur rendered himself peacefully, while the temporarily victorious forces of the pastor took the church by storm. Divine services were then held. Steven Hoke and M. Knepper, trus tees recently elected by the De Jarnett faction were also arrested for disturb ing the peace and the pastor himself was taken to jail for house breaking;. All were released on bail.- Chief of Po lice Armstrong made, the arrests per sonally. ' ,\u25a0\u25a0> - ' Sunday school services were >held <in the afternoon on the lawn in .front of the church by Dr. de Jarnett. Later an attempt was made; to gain entrance to the tabernacle- in Garfleld park. --This city is the center of the . ' Christian church in the state and the yearly gath erings are held, liv the tabernacle. \u25a0 Rev. R. NY Davis, holding" the 'keys for the state organization, refused to -permit the local pastor and his flock to enter. Action will be begun '.tomorrow, in the courts to compel him to give over the keys. The quarrel Is the . outgrowth of dif ferences' as to the pastor's merits as a religious leader, but has nothing to' do with his character or morals, which have not been assailed.! One version of the difficulty has it- that when it was found that the members of the church could not agree on whether the preacher should be retained or > not a committee of. delegates to - the annual convention was* intrusted .with the solution of the' difficulty and decided that De Jarnett should serve, the. church until October 14. when his term should cease.. This agreement was later repudiated by 'a newboard of trustees.wvho were friend ly with 'the pastor. The status of the original agreement is the point of the dispute, arid will be settled in the courts. . If De Jarnett can get the tabernacle, ho say 6he will hold services' there With such of ; his members as' want to hear him until -the law whether or not he is minister of the First Christian church of Santa Cruz.

Following close upon the- heels of the donation of $60,000. a month tby the amalgamated association In New Or leans for the benefit of the local strik ing,carmen, Marion's visit here is con sidered significant. Although Mahon would not talk for publication , last night except to say that, he was here to lookover the local situation. It was freely rumored in labor circles that his object was -to terminate the long drawn out strike. Rumor even; went so far as to say -that' a meeting be tween Mahon ; and Superintendent Black had already been arranged for today. Mahon and Black; are well known to each other, having had business deal ings together in Kansas City and other eastern points. \u25a0 -,''-,.; .
