TWENTY-SIX MEN ARE TO GO. The Kreis Turn-Fest Promises to Be a Most Imposing Event Among Turners. As the time approaches for the local turners’ societies to leave for Los Angeles to participate in the grand Kreis Turn Fest, which opens in the southern city on the 22d inst. and continues until the 27th, the enthusiasm among them over the af- The men who will participate are practicing every day in their various classes, and the ambition to win one or more of the valuable trophies which will be presenfed to winners is strong among them.

On the way home he threatened to throw himself info the bay. There was another razor scene, lasting morning. On that morning Mrs. Potts, worn out, gave notice that she would leave her er- ratic’ spouse, whereupon she discovered that he had taken away ail her wedding presents. Although he had_only contrib- uted $5 during their dramatic married life he refused to give back the presents. He 1 said he was glad his wife was going. Noble Potts, according to his wife, is in the receipt of a good salary and has con- siderable money, and ?roperty to an un- known amount. The plaintiff will resume her maiden name of Holland. e 3 FOR PERSONAL INJURIES.* | The Outcome of a Collision on Turk Street. Last February John H. Hansen was driving along Turk street in a wagon drawn by one horse, and when near Buchanan was run into by a milk wagon drawn by a pair of horses belonging, it is alleged, to E. H. Beverley and W. H. Knight. As a result of the collision Hansen was thrown to the pavement and rendered unconscious, his wagon was demolished and his horse was killed. He brought suit for damages, whereupon Beverley filed an answer denymg the HERMAN WOERNER. HERMAN HAUSTEIN. H. C. F. STAHL. tion of the Verein Eintracht come next. Until the meeting of the Eintrachton Tuesday evening it was not decided just how many men would represent that society. It was then decided to makea team of twenty-six men, and all arrange- ments have now been completed for them. Evervthing promises now that the Kreis Turn-Fest will be the most imposing event among the turners that has ever been held on the coast. The interest which it has excited extends from the queen city of the south, where the enjo; ment will begin and culminate, to Wa Montana. tana and New Mexico, and competition i the games which are set down on the pro- gramme promises to be keen. The Eintracht Turners have been pre- paring themselves for weeks past under the direction of Instructor H. C. F. Stahl for the affair, and Mr. Stahl has strong hopes of his men carrying off some of the best prizes. Stahl The majority said Mr. proud of it. vesterday, “and I _am of its members | are youne men, and this will be the first have participated in a fes- tival like this. While there are one or two specialists among them who do certain work, they are as a_ body all-round ath- letes, and “that I consider the main thin; in such contests as they will go through a the Kreis Turn-Fest.” Mr. Stahl has been the instructor at the Eintracht for eight years, and is proud of the fact that in the National festival in Milwaukee two years ago his pupils car- ried off the first prize for wrestling and five other prizes for all-around gymnastic exercises. “I consider,”” continued Mr. Stahl, “the delegation which will go down to Los Angeles the strongest team of all-around athletes that has_been gotten together in this City. As I have said, they are all young men and the majority belong toa new class which has been taught here in the past year. They will go south strong in the purpose of carrying off some of the premium ?rizes. i v “We will leave this City on a special train at 8 o’clock on Friday evening, June 20, and will be accompanied by the turn- ers from San Jose, Sacramento and Stock- ton as well as the members of the Mission Verein. We will take part in all the events which are set down on the pro- gramme,” All the training which the members have gone through has been under the direction of Instructor Stahl, and Leaders Herman Woerner and Herman Haustein. They will, of course, accompany the team cf the society in its southward journey. Those who will make up the Eintracht delegation are as follows: H. C. F. Btahl, Herman Woerner, Herman Haustein, 1. Mertens, George Dahmke, Gustav Hotaf, William Horstmyer, George Lann, Louis Peck, Richard Wagner, John Veteaux, Fred Becker, John Pless, G. Volkeman, Charles Schulz, H. Kenzi, Henry Conrad, George Graf, Cherles Gasma: George Steffens, Charles Krause, Philip Knack, Fred Pindon. R. Scott, 'W. Fehlenrelcher, Casper Ellenberger. The turner section of the Verein Ein- tracht was organized in 1877, and it now has the largest school of active members among thefiocal turners’ societies. Tt also has in connection with it ladies’ and junior classes in which Instructor Stahl takes es- pecial pride. SAMUEL DEAL'S WILL. He Expressed Tenderest Affection for His Grown Sons. Sarah J. Deal bas petitioned for letters of administration over theestate of Samuel Deal, who died on June 4, 1895, leaving property valued at $9700, consisting chiefly of real estate in this county at 2334 Mission street, valued at $7500, and an improved lot on L street, Sacramento, valued at $2000. The _propex;toy is left to the widow and petitioner, years of age, with a recom- mendation of the sons, William and Samuel Deal, to her consideration and motherly care. The sons, aged 37 and 32 years respectively, are thus referred to: I ask that they receive as a b t the su of $10 with my blessings and ee:r‘::e'n expre: sions of my ‘great anxiety for their future happiness lnd{prospexilg and my sirict injune- tions to each of them to be a tenderly affection- ate, obedient and respeotful son to their be- loved mother, who wrll always remain their best friend and adviser. time that they e stream into the assembly-room. Another stream broke into the City Prison. For half an hour officers and prison-keepers worked with ‘brooms to drive the water out of doors. ABOUT THE GHOST OCAR. The Sutter-Street Company Has Taken No Action, but May Appeal the Case. A. K. Bievens, secretary of the Sutter- street Railway Company. said to a CALL reporter yesterday that the company had not decided upon the course of actionin regard to the Bush-street line. “We must, of course, consider oomred- tion as all corporations do and not take any action in the matter for a time. gxe court has granted a stay for thirty V8. “There is nothing to say, because noth- LnE“bns been done.” idently it is a question with the com- pany, as it is with the publie, whether an appeal shall be taken from the decision of the court. The will is dated February 21, 1890. AN ERRATI0 HUSBAND. Noble Potts’ Cruelty Gave His Wife a Divorce. Judge Hebbard yesterday granted El- frieda Clara Potts a divorce from Noble Foss Potts on the ground of extreme cruelty. According to her statement the parties were married at Oakiand, November 2, 1893, and have no children. Since her marriage she says that her husband treated her in such an inhuman manner that it would be dangerous to her life to live with him. On one occasion, only two days after the marriage, the bridegroom threatened to commit suicide with a razor, opening the blade and walking up and down the room, until after hours of entreaty he desisted from his purpose. His wife says she was not the cause of the outbreak. “Three days after ue repeated the razor business on goiling to get money from his wife, passing | “Our delegation will be a strong one,” allegations and declaring that the plaintiff had expressed himself satisfied if his wagon were repaired and another horse given him. The case, however, came to trial and Justice Cook gave judgment for the plaintiff in the sum of $235 with costs against Beverley and dismissed the action as to Knight. CAPEL'S COLONY SCHEME, ington on the north and inland as faras | There will be representatives | from California, Oregon, Washington, Mon- | The Monsignor Will Bring Out | a New Community From | Europe. He Will Attempt to Settle Many Famllies In the Sacramento | Valley. v Monsignor Capel has devised a scheme | to bring a large population to the valley of the Sacramento, believing that the | prosperity of this State depends upon dividing those big ranches and making twenty homes where only one existed be- fore. He has an ideal community in view, a community where each industrious fam- ily will have a house and a farm, and the harvest will yield an independence to all. He has devoted himself to completing his plans for this enterprise. The big ranch of Count Valensin at | Arno is to be cut up into tracts of from eighty to 100 acres and an active and in- dustrious class of farmers brought here from Europe. On one part of the land a space will be set aside for an agricultural college. This institution will be the Monsignor’s especial care. Itis his earnest purpose to educate those people in California agriculture, of which he has made a close study during his residence in this State. It may be necessary to carry these set- tlers for the first Kepr before they begin to get a return for their crops, but that very important point the Monsignor hopes to provide for. With all his irrepressible energy he is rfecting the details of this important undertaking. e is_in constant correspondence with agents abroad, who keep him informed on the fiosslbility of obtaining persons of worth and steadiness to emigrate to this fertile valley and make their homes there. 8hould he succeed in all particulars, Mon- signot Capel’s plan may be the forerunner of many others of equal practicability and sagacity. THEY SHOOK HANDS, The Battery Charge Against Drs. Lev- ingston and Mizner and Attorney tum Suden Dismissed. Dr. Marc Levingston and Attorney Otto tum Suden, who had a sparring match on Market street Tuesday afternoon, and Dr. William Mizner, who took a hand in the affair, appeared in Judge Campbell’s court yesterday morning to answer to the charge of battery. The defendants were all smiles, and when Attorney tum Suden whispered to Prosecuting Attorney Forbes to call up the cases at once, as they would be dis- missed, it was seen that the spectators would be balked of their expempg enter- tainment. The Judge asked the defendants to stand up, and assuming an expression be- fitting the occasion said: ‘‘Gentlemen, it is beneath the dignity of men in your profession to engage in a dis- play of fisticuffs on _the public street. If ou will shake hands in a friendly manner will dismiss the charge against you.” No sooner said than done. gtto tum Suden shook hands with Dr. Levingston and then with Dr. Mizner, the Judge and spectators smiled and the three defend- ants left the courtroom together. ORANGES WILL BE CHEAP, |The New Rate on Eastern Shipments [ ‘Was Made to Relieve the { Glut. The new rate of $1 a hundred pounds on oranges from California to Chicago and the Missouri River recently made by the Southern Pacific Company will go into effect on the 16th inst. At present the rate is $125 on oranges in carload lots from Southern California and the Oroville citrus region. The reduc- tion means a great deal to the producers, asit will enable them to sell oranges in the Eastern markets at a margin of profit after freight bills are paid. This season the crop has proved so bountiful there is a glut in the market, and to relieve the sit- uation the rate of $1 has been made. It is expected by the railway freight managers that shipments will be exceed- 2:5]1 heavy and in theend the receipts i quite as large as in former years, when “t::]e nm«t):nt sold in Eastern markets was less than present pros; indi- cate for this season.

Should His Mongolian Victim Dle International Difficulties Wil Arise. Sergeant Cook and the members of the Chinatown squad arein trouble. They are accused of brutality, and the Chinese Con- sulate, Chinese Merchants’ Exchange and Chinese 8ix Companies are arrayed against them. It is the first time in the history of Chinatown that there has been concerted action. Indignation has grown so high that the assistance of the Chinese Minister in Washington has been invoked. One of Sergeant Cook’s victims is dangerously ill, and should he die the matter will undoubt- edly be made an international question. Apart from that, however, the Consul- General and the atlorney for the Six Com- panies have filed complaints with the Police Commissioners, and an investiga- tion will be held next Wednesday night. ‘When seen about the matter yesterday T. D. Riordan, the attome% for the Six Companies, said: “Cook hasbeen in China- town two months, and during that time complaints as to his brutality have been of daily occurrence. He pokes the Chinese in the Tibs with his cane, punches them in the face, and if he raidsa place and can find no trace of gambling having been carried on, he licks the men he may find in the place just for fun. Sergeant Cook isa law unto himself, and in consequence he has taken fewer cases into the Police Courts than_any other sergeant who has been in Chinafown during the past ten years. ‘“The case which bas raised all China- town against him isthat of a Chinese whom he threw downstairs. The Mongolian had his arm broken and was internally injured. He was employed in the josshouse on the top floor of a building on'the west side of ‘Waverly place. Back of the josshouse there is a gambling den, it is true, but it is reached by a separate stairway, and there is nocommunication between the gambling den and josshouse. Ah Loy was leaving the latter place when he met Sergeant Cook on the stairway between the second and third floors. Cook searched him, and, finding Mothing, assaulted the Chinese and threw him over the banister to the floor below. Cook says the man was a ‘look- out,” and that he slipped down the stairs. Such an idea is preposterous,and I can prove it. “These attacks on Chinese have been of nightly occurrence, and it has got to stop. If the Police Commissioners and Chief Crowley will not act the Chinese will make an international question of it. On April 15 last I wrote Chief Crowley complaining that Cook and his gang ‘were breaking open houses that had been vacant for years, I referred him to the agents for the buildings for confirmation, On May 4 I made another formal complaint as to Cook’s brutality, and in my letter said: ‘None of the sergeants who have been in Chinatown during the past fifteen years ill treated the Chinese to the extent Ser- geant Cook does. 1again repeat the re- uest that I made some time ago: that you instruct Sergeant Cook to bear in mimiy that the Chinese are human beings, and should not be handled as if they were animals.’ “‘Since writing to Chief Crowley, Cook and his posse have committed two outrages which could not be overleoked, so I began suit for damages against the sergeant. ‘When he heard of it he went to some of the Chinese merchants, and, after telling them that Judge Morrow had secured him the appointment on the police force, told the merchants he would run them into the United States District Court and have them deported if they did not have the cases dismissed. “I have prepared a complaintand lodged it with the Police Commissioners. The Chinese Consul-General has lodged an- other and the Six Companies a third. Now we intend seeing whether a Chinese can get justice done him in S8an Francisco. ‘We charge Sergeant Cook with seven un- provoked assaults upon Chinese, and are prepared to prove them by reputable white witnesses.” Jee Chong Tone, secretary of the Six Companies, says the merchants and better element in Chinatown are indignant over the manner in which Chinese are treated. “Consul-General Li Jnng Yew has been appealed to,” said Jee Chong Tone, “and if we fail here we will appeal to Washing- ton. This beating of Chinese on the street and in their stores has to be stopped. Gambling and other crimes against the law should be snlipressed and we will hel the authorities, but beating a suspec Chinese because there is no evidence against him has to be stopped. The Six Companies are organized for mutual pro- tection and 1t is time we took some action. The Merchants’ Exchange is with us and we intend to see justice done. “Complaints against Sergeant Cook and the Chinatown squad reach us every day,”’ said Consul KinEO_wtyaug yesterday. “We have written to Chief Crowley in regard to Sergeant Cook having thrown a Chinese down a flight of stairs and breaking his arm and internally injuring him. Jee Chong Tone and myself went to the Re- ceiving Hospital to see the man, but he wag unconscious, 80 we got no statement. It is nonsense to say the poor fellow slipped and fell, because the stairs are nar- row and winding and he could easily have saved himself had he slipped. Great force was used to throw him downstairs. When the case comes before the Police Commis- sioners we will produce both white and Chinese witnesses to support the charges. *It looks as though Sergeant Cook wants to make a record, but he has gone about it in a wrong manner. Sergeants who were never one-half as brutal as he made ten times more convictions. I am free to con- fess that Sergeant Cook is the most bratal officer we have ever had in Chinatown.” The matter will come up before the Police Commissioners next Wednesday, and mPresentatives of the Consulate, Mer- chants’ Exchange and Bix Companies will be present to see what action is taken., If in &e meantime the Chinese whom Ser- geant Cook is accused of throwing down- stairs dies, the matter will probably as- sume the importance of an international question. A GOLDEN JUBILEE. Arrangements for Father Varsi’s Anni- versary Celebration. The fiftieth anniversary of the entrance of the Rev. Aloysius Varsi into the Society of Jesus will be made the occasion of a grand jubilee celebration by his friends of St. Ignatids College on the 23d inst. | To make arrangements for this jubilee a meeting_was held last evening at St. Ig‘??im Church. James R. Kelly pre- sided. On motion a committee was appointed b{’ the chairman to prepare an address which will be presented to Father Varsi immediately after the celebration of mass on the day of the celebration, The committee consists of Judge J. F. Sullivan, John Fitzpatrick and James D. Plelan, Circulars are o be J:"’E%"d and forwarded to all friends of the Society of Jesus, calling attention to the jubilee, and asking for contributions to a purse, also for ireunutmn to Father Varsi. For this work the iollawuig committee was a) e o i R e X oyle, J. 'D.

The altars will be appropriately decorated in honor of St. Aloysius. ¢ New music is being prepared for the oc- casion and a string orchestra will be added to the male choir of 100 voices. Addresses will be delivered by many of the graduates of St. Ignatius, who were pupils under Father Varsi. THE PLOUF KILLING. J. D. L. McGaughey on Trial in Judge Belcher’s Court. The trial of J. D. L. McGaughey for kill- ing Dr. John E. Plouf on March 30 was commenced in Judge Belcher's court yes- terday. All the forenoon was occupied in obtain- ing four jurors, viz.: G. H. Jefiress, A. G. Martin, . W. Skelton and William Me- Phun. The box was then exhausted, and a special venire of fifty was ordered issued, returnable to-das'. There is considerable legal talent engaged in the trial. Assistant District Attorney Peixotto is assisted by Dennis Spencer for the prosecution, while the defense is repre- sented by Reel B. Terry and Colonel T. V. Eddy of Seattle.

AT THE LOCAL THEATERS, Success of “Moths” at the Columbia — Morosco’s Artistic Sewer. Amann’s Impersonation of Mayor Sutro—Benefits for the Colima Victims. “Moths” has proved a greater success than anything yet produced by the Fraw- ley company at the Columbia Theater. One reason for this is undoubtedly the charming personality with which Miss Mar- garet Craven invests the part of Vera. Her acting is telling, and at times intense, without ever losing its sincerity or verging on the melodramatic. A touch more of the melodramatic might not be a disadvantage to Miss Archer’s rend- ering of the Duchess de Lounaze, for she plays the part so sweetly and_suavely that it is hard to believe her a female Iago. Miss Bates is de- lightfully breezy as the American heiress, and the rest of the cast is well chosen. . Morosoo’s Opera-House. There appears to be no limit to the variety of scenic effect at Morosco’s. In the “Struggle for Life,”” which is being presented this week, even the sewers of New York are made to look attractive, and great interest is taken in the scene where the hero is seen struggling for his life from arch to arch of the sewer at flood tide. The plot of “The Struggle for Life” is inter- esting, and the humorous pams arouse peals of laughter. Tivoli Opera-House. “Ship Ahoy” is nearing the end of its sue- cessful run at the Tivoli Theater. All the gongs and choruses are received with as much fayor as ever, Hartman’s end Miss Millard’s s0l0s being especially successful. Alcazar Theater. The amusing situations and bright dialogue in “Humbug” at the Alcazar Theater are nightly arousing laughter and applause, Miss May Nannary’s cleyer acting as Mrs. Arminda Bertram Ponsby making her an especial favor- ite. The other members of the Dailey Com- pany afford her good support. The Orpheum. The popular comedians Gilbert and Goldie have been well received at the Orpheum this week, though Amann’s impersonations of local celebrities have proved the hit of the whole erformance. is representation of Mayor Sutro is especially good. Jules Levy, the cor- netist, only appears for three more nights. The Water Carnival. The realistic representation of the rescue of the victims from the wreck of the Colima, played by suryivors from the ill-fated vessel, continues to be the great attraction at the ‘Water Carnival. Some of the floats are also much admired. The performances continue to be benefits for the survivors from the wreck. MRS MOLLE'STREATMENT Her Condition as an Insane Patient at the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Somers Says There Should Bea Separate Institution for Thelr Reception. Judge Hebbard criticized the authoriies at the Receiving Hospital, Mrs. Catherine E. Molle, wife of Jacob 8. Molle, 785 Haight street, was a sufferer from puerperal insanity. She was taken before the Insanity Commissioners, but it was deemed advisable not to send her to an insane asylum, and she was accordingly sent home. It was expected that after the birth of her child she would recover her reason. The child was born about a week ago, but instead of improving she became worse, and on Monday afternoon she was taken to the Receiving Hospital. On Tuesday she was taken before the Insanity Commis- sioners, but Judge Hebbard, thinking that if she was kept in the hospital for some days and received proper attention she might get better, continued her case. Yesterday Judge Hebbard visited the hospital and found the woman in tne padded cell. He said he did not think she ‘was properly cared for. Dr. Somers was notified of the Judge’s remarks, and said: “I have repeatedly drawn attention to the fact that there isno accommodation in the hospital for insane patients, particularly women. About six months ago I wrote to the Board of Healh to that effect, and stated emphatically that surgical cases and insanity cases should not be in the same institution. “It is not desirable on sanitary unds, As a rule insane patients are fil{;‘;, and the air is polluted in consequence. Be- sides, they are noisy and disturb the need- ed rest of other patients. The time will soon come when _the City will be forced to have a separate hospital for the reception of persons awaiting their examination be- fore the Insanity Commissioners. “Mrs. Molle was 1E)lncad in the women’s ward when brought to the hospital on Monday. There were five women patients in the ward, and she became so violent and screamed so_loudly that she had to be put in a padded cell. ' A double blanket was rolled round her, and as she kept tear- ing ber clothes off her, her hands and feet were strapped. When Judge Hebbard en- tered her cell this morning he found that in her struggles she had turned over on her face and the bedclothes were disar- ranged, which angered him. Her cell was perfectly clean. : “We have done everything possible to gatt more mor:xm«:iknt‘}é:gs,' and ;s we can- not, we can only ask, at are the; in| to do about ifl"y b —_— Cabmen in New York wear in stormy weather water-proof high hats made of per, impo: from Paris.

AFTER GEFFENEY'S SCALP, The Local Japanese Newspaper Says the Interpreter Must Be Disposed Of. The Japanese of this State are becoming decidedly alarmed over the agitation of the cooly labor question started by the investigation of Labor Commis- sioner E. L. Fitzgerald and Immigra- tion Commissioner W. L. Stradley. In starting this investigation Mr. Fitzgerald’s object was to take steps toward filling the places of the coolies by the unemployed whites, and Commissioner Stradley’s de- sire was to learn if the United States con- tract labor law is being violated directly or indirectly. Both wish to secure facts and statistics to show the dangers arising from unrestricted Japanese immigration so that Deputy Immigration Commissioner Gaffeney. Congress will take hold of the matter be- fore it is too late and pass proper restric- tion laws. The CarL from day to day has published full reports of the investigation proceed- ings in order that the public may be fully in?ormed as to the facts as gleaned by the investigators. These facts have surprised the majority of the people who were not aware before that the little brown man is quietly securing a firm foothold upon every branch of industry in this State, the same as the Chinese a few years ago. The interest the public is now taking in the Japanese cooly labor question has caused considerable alarm among the Jnys. Yes- terday an informal committee of Japanese called upon Mr. Fitzgerald and protested ageinst testimony they had §iven being published in the newspapers. In some in- stances they denied having made certain statements, but reference to the notes of stenographer Williamson silenced their denials and they went away in a very ill humor. ‘There is one young man who is a thorn in the Japanese side. He is A, H. Geffeney, the interpreter for the iImmigration Bureau. He speaks the Japanese language fluently. He has been the official interpreter for the Federal Government for many years, and his integrity has never been questioned by his superiors 1 office. The Japanese are now after his scalp, as they have been for i;ears. and efforts are being made to have im removed from his position. This movement on the part of the Asiatics was first made public through the columns of the Shinseikai, the local Japa- nese lfa’per The word means “The New World.”” The paper is published at 121 Haight street under the management of the Japanese Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation. N. Mizuo is the editor. In the last issue of the Ja&mese organ an attack was made upon the Commissioners and the investigation in general and Inter- preter Geffeney in particular. A running translation of the article reads as follows: Lately the members of the Immigration Oflice are trying to stop immigrant laborers. Some one has gone to the hop gardens of Pleasanton and examined our laborers. All have tried mot to allow the landing of our brothers by inventing ways and words, but they cannot do it, because no Japanese laborer hurdlz ever comes conmrg to the law; there- fore they couldn’t stop, them with the law, and therefore went to Pleasanton and investi- fll&d, baut of course they were not contract Ters. The employers said if the white men should work as good as Japanese laborers they are willing to employ them, but none of the white laborers are willing to work so hard as Jap- anse; so0 they are compelled to use Japanese. Having found no fault with the employers or the laborers the members (Commissioners) spread a rumor that 800 Japanese are coming to San Francisco from Canads, and tried to agitate white laborers (against the Japanese), but it did not work. Having exhausted the way’of agonizing the Japanese the members tried every way, but thely knew not there is a party who pretends to be faithful for the service of the office, butat the same time very dangerous to them. That party is Geffeney. He pretends to be very zealous for the cCommitiee (Commis- sioners). Yesterday he said to the committee that the way of examination Japanese laborers at the time of their landing, whether they are contract laborers or not, is not close enough to distinguish them. Now, the reason why, he said, that is if the examination becomes closer or harder, he will get more money. The meanness of Geffeney cannot be compared to anything. Numerous Jnfinnese have been troubled by one Geflenez. ow to take him off of the com- mission is the topic of conversation among the Japanese. _ Mr. Geffeney stands very high in the es- timation of hissuperior officers, and that .he cannot be bribed by JnEaneue coin has been demonstrated on tl articular. He served under Immigration ommissioners Thornton, Hatch and Btradley, and while in the discharge of his duty he has been shot at onceand poisoned twice by Japanese who, being unable to bribe him, attempted to get him out of the wely by resorting to murder. he steamer Peru, arrived yesterday noon from the Orient with nine Japanese on board. In order to examine these the cooly labor investigation was Fostponad until to-day. Of the new arrivals one is a former resident, a shoemaker by trade. Another comes to learn the mysteries of electricity and another to study mechan- ical engineefin%. hile several are very intelligent ap- aring young fellows of the student class here are others whose fieneml appearance indicates that they are dangerous rivals to the white laborers. Beveral suspicious letters and envelopes were seized by Com- missioner Stradley and Deputy Geffeney, which will be translated before the holders are permitted to land. Several envelopes addressed to local Japanese boarding- house keepers were found, but their con- tents are missing. The Japs would not tell what the letters contained, nor what they did with these papers. One fact is being clearly demonstrated, and that is that most of the Japanese laborers are en- tering the United States via Britjsh Co- l\}q“xabn, where the examination is less rigid. —_— THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. ‘Work Begun Early, and Six Parties Are Already in the Field. “The members of the Geological Survey have got to work this year much earlier ree occasions in than usual,” said Chief of Division Good at the Occidental last night. .*‘Four par- ties on the topographical survey are al- ready at work. = They are located at Mount Tamalpais, at Haywards, at San Luis Obispo and at Palo Alto. In reality the Palo Alto party has not yet gotien to work, but it is already in the field. “On the geological survey proper two parties are now at work. One, under the direction of H. W. Turner, is examining the country in the vicinity of Oroville. The other is in charge of Professor Lawson of the State University, and is studying the Contra Costa mountains.” MONEY FOR TELEPHONES. The State Board of Examiners Could Not Allow It for the Railroad Commission. The Railroad Commissioners met yester- day and found themselves in a quandary over a report from the State Board of Ex- aminers. A communication was read from that body announcing that bills for March and April contracted by the commission had been approved excepting the charges for a telephons. Although telephones had been ordered removed from offices of State com- missions the bill in this instance was merely “‘held over without prejudice.’ The secretary was instructed to ask per- mission for the commission to keep its tel- ephone. Various offers for rooms were received, as it was known that the commission was cut down to $50 a month for rent and has been hunting new offices. The commission, however, determined to remain where it is for the present. Tie question arose whether the Railroad Commission has jurisdiction over eleetric or motor lines extending beyond corporate limits. In looking over the ground it was thought that the Los Angejes and Pasa- dena road which carries passengers and freight, the Oakland and Haywards line and the San Francisco and San Mateo road may be under the Commissioners’ control. The Attorney-General was asked for his opinion on the subject. Blank reports for the fiscal year ending June 30. to be filled in by the transporta- tion companies of California, were ordered sent out with instructions that they be re- turned not Jater than August 31. ———— Black fabrics are never used to cover coffins in Russia.
