JOSEPH'S, Two Cows Temporarily Quar- antined at the Orphan- age Yesterday. Physiclans and Sisters Say the Death of Babes Are Caused by Inhuman Parents. Milk Inspecter Dockery inspected the cows at St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum yes- terda; His t to that institution was inspired by the hope of discovering in the quality of milk used a possible or probable cause for the unusual mortuary record of the in- fant department of that institution. He was accompanied by Veterinary Surgeon Cressley. They examined several of the cows, and found two that they thought should not be used as a source of lacteal supply until a further examination had been made. They will continue their in- vestigation of ,the milk-givers to-day and to-morrow. There are twenty-two cows at the asy- lum. About haif of that number supplies the milk for the infant department, and the others are in the service of the main building, where the oider children have their quarters. The cattle for the most part were found in a fat, sleek, healthy condition, and the stables'are as clean as it is possible to keep places of that kind. Inspector Dockery gave his orders that the milk from the two cows designated should not be used until further examina- tion had been made as a matter of precau- tion. Itis not certain that there is anv cause for apprehension in_the milk of these two feminine bovines, but Mr, Dock- ery does not wish to be incautious until he has made a thorough investigation. The physicians and sisters in charge do not ascribe the mortuary record of the infant department of the institution to impure or diseased milk. They incline to the belief that the seeds of dissolution are sown when the poor little castaways are left on the doorsteps on one or the other of the two buildings by inhuman or unfeeling parent fs are scantily clad and poorly nourished and have to suffer from the cold for hours, perhaps, before the kind sisters open the doors of the asylum and their warmer hearts to the poor little half-dead innocents. The parents of these death-claimed cast- aways are the murderers. umberless babes, ranging in age from two, three and four days toa few weeks are left at the door of the asylum more dead than alive. Many of them' are entirely unprotected from the cold, having merely a little slip or scanty swath to cover up their pure taby nakedness. s : I have given instructions,” said Inspec- tor Dockery, ‘‘that the milk from two cows I examined is not to be used until I have finished the investigation and extended examination in the cases of the suspected cows. When I have examined the entire opulation of the orphanage dairy, I will ge able to give my definite conclusion and instruction.” Drs. C. A. Creppins and M. A. Mc- Laughlin do not think the milk has any- thing to do with the numerous deaths in the infant department. They agree with Sister Stanislaus that the inhuman neglect of the parents isaccountable for the greater number of ceaths “The cows are in splendid condition,” remarked Dr. Creppins of the main build- ing vesterday afternoon. “We use no other milk that that which comes from the James P. Dockery, Milk Inspector, Who Is Examining the Source of the Lacteal Supply at St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum. [From & photograph.] cows on our ground. If the milk was 1m- pure the record of the department over which I preside as medical attendant would not be what it is. Out of 350 in- mates the average daily number 1n the infirmary is only three. That is a record hard to beat.” Sister Stanislaus called attention to the same fact. ‘‘It cannot be due to the milk,” she said. “In our department there is hardly any sickness, and the children use the same milk as that eiven to the babies. The seeds of dissolution are sown in the poor little weak systems of the neglected and cast-off infants before they ever come under our care and teader, healthful nursing.” Inspector Dockery will continue his in- vestigation this morning and through the week. e INSPECTOR’S RULES. The Board of Health Met Last Night and Laid Them Down. The Board of Health met last night and adopted rules and regulations for the gov- ernmep* of Milk Inspector Dockery. The standard of milk was made as follows: Specific gravity of not less than 10.29 per cent, of total milk solids not less than 12 ver cent, and of butter fat ngt less than 3 per cent. The following is the table of relative cream percentages for the respective months: Jauuary and February, 91; March, 9; April, May and June, 934; July, August and September, 10;. October, No- vember and December, 1015. It is made the duty of the inspector to inspect all places where milk is stored or kept for sale, and all vehicles carrying milk, and take samples.to be analyzed, and to arrest all persons engaged in hand- ling impure milk. Instruments for making tests are pre- scribed in the rules, such as the. lacto- meter, cremometer, lactoscope andf pio- scope, and many other scientific details were Induiged in which wiil be of the utmost interest to the milkmen who use water where water is not desirable to the patron. Seized BMilk Samples. Milk Inspector Dockery made a raid on the early milk-wagons yesterday morning, that come into the City by the Mission roads. One batch of them was halted on Twentieth street and another on Valencia. The inspector took samples from each of the various wagons and then allowed the drivers to proceed. These samples were vesterday subjected to the 10;,{ per_cent test. A number of them were found below the mark and such samples were delivered to Attorney Dennis Spencer, who will in- stitute the proper legal proceedings for the punishment of ‘the offenders. LABOR UNIONS. The Waiters’ Union Gaining Strength. Newly Elected Officers. The recently organized White Waiters’ Union of San Francisco met last evening and made preparations fora mass-meeting to be held next week. The object is to in- terest all laboring men, and partioularly all waiters, in the formation of a strong waiters’ union. The union started a week or so ago with about twenty-five mem bers, who struck at the Creamerie restaurant on Market street. Now there are sixty names on the roll. Furniture-workers’ Local Union No. 15 met last evening and installed the follow- ing officers: President, H.Weideling; finan- cial secretary, E. P. Burman; control sec- retary, J, Jorgensen; delegate to the Labor Council, E. P. Burman. The recent flight of George Van Guelpen, secretary of the Cigar-makers’ Interna- tional Union No. 228, with some of the union’s funds has caused the members to change their by-laws so that so much work and responsibility will not rest with one man. eretofore one man did all the work and handled nearly all of the cash. The change was made last evnning and the following officers were elected: Financial secretary, A. C. Dale; corresponding sec- retary, W. E. Kelly; treasurer, J. Gassner. —————— Santa Rosa Races Declarved Off. SANTA ROSA, Caw., Oct. 15.—The bi- cycle race meeting under the auspices of the National Circuit_here on November 16 has been declared off. Santa Rosa wheel- men cannot haye the new bicycle track here ready by that time. The races go over until carnival week next year. LOS ANGELES SCHEME Successful Fruition of the Co-operative Project. IS GROWING IN FAVOR. Cheap Supplies Furnished by the Socialist Association Store. | RAPIDLY BRANCHING OUT. Citizens of Wealth and Influence Extend Thelr Support to the Enterprise. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 15.—On the 1st day of last January a unique enter- prise was started in Los Angeles. Some of the people who believe in socialist ideas—not at all the type of men who fly the banner of anarchism, but quite another type, who believe that all humanity should be united into one helpful brother- hood—came together and incorporated as the ‘‘Socialist Co-operative Association.” They had a very practical object in view. They put together their cash capital, which was precisely $34 all told, and estab- lished a store on the co-operative plan. For two weeks they occupied quarters on Sixth street, which an entbusiastic mem- ber offered them rent iree, but at the end of that first two weeks they were com- pelled to move to more commodious and central rooms, and they rented the store at 641 North Main street, where they have remained ever since, although the en- terprise has already outgrown its new quarters. The association’s plan is after the §ystem which has found such favor and resulted so successfully in the manufacturing dis- tricts of England. Every man, woman or child who wishes to join and receive its full benefits buys a slice of stock for $5, which entitles to a share in the dividends, declared quarterly. The store is conducted in the most mod- est fashion and with the least possible ex- pense, the few employes necessary to han- dle the goods being paid by a fund created through adding 10 per cent to the original cost of the goods sold each month, and* dividing the amount between them. The employes are all members of the associa- tion and most enthusiastic in their support of it, and they themselves resolved from the first that no part of the capital stock represented by the shares sold should be. spent for wages. Of course this method of wage-paying meant very little for the men in the begin- ning. 1t meant very little for them at any time unless they had faith in the success and growth of the enterprise. That this faith is well justified is demonstrated by the books of the association, which show that the dividend system of wages re- sulted in monthly salaries of $25 apiece, for the:last three months and the business is growing with inconceivable rapidity. At the end of every quarter after paying the rent, which is a nominal matter as they occupy a cheap store quite re- moved from the business center and fur- ther reduce expenses by renting space to a couple of societies and a wholesale station- er, all the profits over and above the cost of the goods,with 10 per cent added for run- ning expenses, are counted out and re- turned to the shareholders. The first quar- tera16 per cent dividend was declared. The second resulted in a 15 per cent divi- dend, and this quarter will be about the same. In this way every shareholder se- cures all the necessaries or life at whole- sale rates with a slight charge for the ex- pense of handling. When the co-operative store was started it was confined to staple groceries. It soon broadened in its scope and now carries a stock of crockery, underwear and notions as well. It has formed alliances with other groceries, hardware and drygoods dealers, hatters, clothiers and shoe stores, by which any shareholder can go outside of the co-operative society itself and make purchases, and have from 5 to 25 per cent refunded on these purchases when the bills are turned in to the association. There are now ninety-four shareholders, and aithough mechanics and laborers com- prise the greater number, doctors and law- yers and dentists are included in no in- considerable number, and even a couple of millionaires own shares and are liberal customers. Among these wealthy share- holders are H. G.Wilshire, a rich property- owner; V. Dol, owner of the old postoflice block; Mr. Le Brun and E.C. Schnabel. Luke T. Bechtel, a lawyer, is the president, and the five directors are Messrs. Bech. tel, Arnalstein, Potts, Villinger and Rieder. Several gentlemen engaged in lines of trade represented in the store have cor- dially enrolled themselves upon the Aist of members and a very large patronage comes from outsiders, for non-members buying goods of the association receive a rebate of half profits at the end of every quarter. The establishment now runs two delivery teams, one of the wagons being the gift of an enthusiastic member, A. M. Leach. It has lately opened a coal and woodyard, which at the outset returned $100 a month profits over and above the expense of run- ning. Last week a bakery was started, and it is the intention to add to these various industries new features as fast as the capi- tal or resources will admit. Perhaps the great secret of the success of all that has so far been undertaken is the inflexible rule pursued irom the first—to buy and | sell for cash only. The manager of the store is Lemuel Bid- dle, formerly a master machinist of the Southern Pacific, who lost his position in the company’s shops during the late strike. Mr. Biddle is the vice-president of the Council of Labor of Los Angeles. The Social Labor party, of which this or- ganization is an outgrowth, is strong in Los Angeles. 1Its war cry 1s “Down with competition!” —_— WHY ERRINGTON WENT FREE. Jurors Claim Their Verdict Accorded With the Court's Instructions. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 15.—The ver- dict of “Not guilty,” brought in last night in the Errington murder case, has caused some unfavorable comment here because of the peculiarity of the instructions de- livered by Judge Smith to the jury, several of the members of which claim thatunder them no other verdict could be rendered. 8aid the court: ‘“The mere fact that a man goes with the wife of another (she being willing) even against the will and contrtiry to the wishes of her husband will not justify a personal assault by the husband. Tf, therefore, vou find from the evidence that the defendant Errington walked down street with the wile of the deceased with her consent, but after bein{ forbidden to do so, I instruct ou that this fact was no justification in aw for the husband to commit any per- sonal violence.” Another instruction reads in substance: “Where it is questionable whetber the deceased made an attack upon the defend- ent threats that were communicated to him prior to the homicide are to be con- sidered.” . Another instruction in effect states: “The fact that the defendant had a_pistol with him is not to be considered.” The fact that the wounded huspand had none 'was not taken into consideration. Errington, after getting his photograph from the rogues’ gfilery in the City Prison, left for San Francisco on the afternoon train. AWl 3 e MAGUIRE WaS IN LOVE. Cause of the Officer's Suicide Revealed at the Inquest. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 15.—The ver- dict of the Coroner’s jury in the case of Police Officer J. F. Maguire was *‘Death by a gunshot wound infiicted by himself during a fit of temporary insanity.” The members of the Lewis family, with whom Maguire had been very intimate for sev- eral vears, were present to testify, and the father, mother and daughter denied that Maguire had given any money to the eldest girl, Bella, with whom it was re- ported Maguire was madly in love, and who is now in New York City. Maguire's will was read, it bequeathing all his_pos- sessions at the time of hiy death to Bella Lewis. : . Soon after the verdict was given and the {vnrymen had departed a letter beurinsthe New York postmark, addressed to the dead officer, was delivered to the Coroner. It proved to be a letter from Bella Lewis, asking for money to come home, and say- ing that she would be contented to live in furnished rooms with him, the tenor of the letter intimating plans for a marriage on herarrival. Itis presumed that Ma- guire was unable to carry out the plans of himself and the girl, and in a fit of de- spondency committed suicide. Maguire left a note requesting the Ma- sons to cremate his remains. e ON TRIAL FOR MURDER. Frank Roemer Arraigned for the Killing of B. M. Tllery. LOS ANGELES, Car., Oct. 15.—An- other murder trial, in which the plea of self-defense will cut a big figure and be the principal contention, began this morning before Judge Smith in Department 1 of the Superior Court. Itisthat of Frank Roemer for the killing of B. M. Ullery at Downey on July 15 last. Roemer had a dispute with Ullery over a small sum of money and Ullery drew a re- volver, threatening to kill him. The row was averted for the time being, but the men met the next day and the shooting occurred, resulting in Ullery’s death. The theory of the prosecution is that the shoot- ing was not justified and that Ullery made no such motions as would lead a reason- able man to infer that his life was in dan- ger. eidpe i RANGOD ARRAINGED. Held to Answer for the Abduction of Adrian Pavlides. LOS ANGELES, Car., Oct. 15.—Ed- ward Rangod, who was concerned in the abduction of Adrian Pavlides, the young daughter of the Greek Consul residing in this city, bad his preliminary examina- tion to-day and was held in the sum of $1000 to answer in the Superior Court. The Le Page girl, who was his com- panion, was released and the charge against her dismissed, but she was placed under $500 bonds to appear as a witness against Rangod. Rangod’s examination was conducted behind closed doors. e Japanese Want a Vice-Consul. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 15.—The Jap- anese of this city want a Vi onsul here and they have decided to petition Minister Kurino at Washington. SUISUN SPORTSMEN IN TROUBLE. Action Brought Against Men Who Killed Game Out of Season. SUISUN, Car., Cct. 15.—The case of Charles H. Kellogg, as trustee of Cordelia Shooting Club, against William King et al., will come up before Judge Buckles on Thursday, October 24. The outcome of this tral will be watched with interest by sportsmen, as it is claimed that hunters have a right to shoot over marsh lands. The season opened this morning, and sportsmen were more numerous than here- tofore. Ducks are very plentifal, and the rospects are good for the season. Over &)00 ducks were killed this morning. S e FIRE NEAR CHICO. Fifteen Tons of Fruit on the Kemp Ranch Destroyed. CHICO, Cax., Oct. 15—Fire destroyed fifteen tons of dried fruit on the ranch of W. H. Kemp, on Pine Creek, last night. The fruit was stored in & small house, which was burned to the ground. The fire is thought to have been the work of tramps, as a blanket, a_bottle half-filled with beer and a can half-filled with freshli cooked peaches were found near the fruithouse. The fruit was insured for $1000 and the fruithouse for $50. An insurance of $150 was also carried on the trays ana boxes. e ohi s it HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND HOTEL.

PLIGHT OF BONDSMEN. Asked to Make Good a Large Sum Secured by a Bandit. STORY OF THE DARING RAID. Treasurer Stofen Imprisoned in a Vault After It Had Been Looted. SANTA ROSA, Cav., Oct. 15.—The trial of the People of Sonoma County vs. P. N. Stofen and his bondsmen, J. H. Brush, M. Doyie, A. P. Overton, Hollis Hitchcock and Con, Shea was begun to-day before Judge Doungherty in the Superior Court. This suit is brought by the county to Te- | cover $781579. stolen from the County' Treasurer’s office in a bold daylight rob- bery, when Treasurer Stofen was shut into the vault by the bandit. Besides this amount, §585 of Captain Stofen’s private funds was stolen, makinga total of $8400 79 cash taken by the robber. In the answer to the complaint, filed by the defendants, they allow for a shortage of $6816 19 only, claiming that $363 80 belonged to the re- demption fund and was money paid the treasurer by private parties for the pur- chase of delinquent tax sales; also $135 80 belonging to the estates of deceased per- sons and unreclaimed. Both of these amounts were /kept by themselves and were not considered as county money. Captain Stofen described the robbery in detail. After opening the vault and step- ping into it after the money trays and starting out again he was met at the vault door by the robber, who, knife in hand, told him to hand the money over. The Tobber was about six feet in height and of rather stout build. He could not describe exactly the appearance of the man because he stood in the shadow of the door and his form was not plainly visible. The robber, besides carrying & knife in his hand, had a pistol strapped to him. Stofen related how he had been locked up in the vault after the money had been taken, how he had lost consciousness and the sensations he experienced. From his feeling when consciousness returned he thinks he must have been struck on the head by the robber with some blunt instru- ment. Mrs. Stofen testified thatv she went to Cloverdale on December 27, the day before the robbery. After returning home she had gone to the treasury door, but not being able to get in she went to the house. She returned again to the courthouse and went into the sugerintendent’s office and inquirea for her husband, but hearing nothing of him ¢ot.Janitor Hassett to open the door for her. Judge Moore was with them. They heard a noise from the inte- rior of the vault, and she tried the combi- nation, succeeding at the second attempt in opening the outer and inner doors of the vault. She could not tell in what po- sition she found her husband, as she was greatly excited at the time. Hehad been hurt on the head, having evidently been struck with something. Mr. Stofen was in a very weak condition a number of days after the robbery and was compelled to in bed most of the time. The case was continued to a future date for argument. — e FRAUL 1S ALLEGED. Santa Rosa’s Water War to Be Carried Into the Courts. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Oct. 15.—Suit will be begun to-morrow against the City of Santa Rosa, the Common Council, Robert Effey of Santa Cruz as contractor and Paul B. Perkins of San Francisco as sub- contractor, to set aside a contract for the construction of water works, entered into on September 28 between the city and Effey. Thye complaint charges collusion and fraud. It will allege that the Council and Mayor as individuals entered into an agree- ment with Effey in September, 1894, that if he would bida for the city bonds in sum of $165,000 the contract would be given him to construct the works for $161,000; that there was no momey in the city treasury at the time of Effey’s bid, and that the intention of the Mayor and Coun- cil was to exchange the nds for the works. It will also be alleged that other contraetors offered to do the same work for $30,000 less to the knowledge ot Council and Mayor. The complaint will state that no bonds have eyer %een sold, and that when the Council let the contract to Eiffey to con- struct the works there was not nor had there ever been any money 1n the city treas- ury applicable to the construction of water works, and that the Council was informed as to all the facts. It will be made 10 ap- pear that the Council and the Mayor directed the payment to Effey of $161,000 in advance of any work being done, with- out any bond, and that Effey is almost if not entirely insolvent.

We wish to live in harmony with our feilow-men. We give to others what we would demand for our- selves—that is, the fullest freedom in re- lizious belief.” R Fish Warden’s Rights. The argument of counsel before Judge Campbeil as to the legal status of J. A. Mogan, the Fish and Game Warden, was partly heard yesterday afternocon. Attor- ney Rossi contended that the Warden had no night to break open boxes of fish, but was willing to concede that he could seize any fish offered for sale that was not of the proper weight or length. The Judge was {inclined to agree with him, but as Attor- Under the auspices of the Y. M. C. U. at | the Metropolitan Temple last night Father Yorke, chancellor of this diocese, delivered a lecture on “Rome’s Red Hand.” An immense crowd gathered to hear him, and every seat and aisle of the house was filled before 7 o’clock, and sti ll a throng crowded about the entrance unable to find even standing roora. He said in part: “I have been asked to | speak to you concerning the charges | which week after week have been made | against our church and our individual | honor. We are taunted with the cry that | we have no answer to make. “They say it is better to ignore charges | of a base character, but when a man’s | character has been aspersed and the good | name of Catholic wives and mothers has | been traduced it falls upon us to vindicate the falsity of these charges like men.” \ Father Yorke described the services of those noble ladies who, during war and pestilence, nursed the wounde§ and sick. He continued : ‘‘The organization responsible for this | attack is known as the A. P. A. While its | leaders publicly declare they make war on | no man’s religion. «yet President Hud- dleson in the Oakland Tribune says: ‘The A. P. A. will strike straight from the | shoulder and beneath the fiith rib of every | Roman Catholic; I would not belong to it if it did not.’ ‘The means employed by the A. P. A has been a long catalogue of forgerie They spread all over the country quota- | tions alleged to have been taken from | Catholic books. I need not tell that what- | ever has been said the only object of the | A. P. A. is to set Protestants against Cath- | olics, men against brothers, to sow the | seed of dissension and turn back the hand | of time on the dial of history to that | ngnod of religious persecution which, | thank God, is beyond a 1 doing.” He then read the scroll of the A. P. A. to demonstrate, as he said, its in- tolerance to Catholics and their church. ‘‘This is the genuine oath of their mem- bers, whose accredited leaders are minis- | ters of the gospel,” said he. “They say | these things and then claim they seek not | warfare. *‘It is the hue that Catholics will soon control the polit: cal affairs of this Nation. That the whole | country will be under the hand of that | terrible old man at Rome, the Pope. The idea that 10,000,000 Catholies will lay the | ‘red hand of Rome’ on the 60,000,000 Pro- testants of this country is' ridiculous | enough without elaboration. | “‘We are somewhat disappointed with | San Francisco, we Catholics who have | had so much to do with her founding and | her prosperity, to find that when men who claim to be ministers of the Gospel stand | on this platform and hurl at the Holy Church utterances, whose mere hearing | brands them as lies, that not one Protest- ant clergyman will openly“ deny such | accusations and defend us. "What can you | think of an organization that will thrive | onforgery? It is beneath the dignity of | the church to listen to the false accusa- | tions made against it. | “The_teachings of the church make ns! loyal citizens. Church and State are for- | ever separated. The loyalty | band in hand with loyalty % We owe no civil allegiance to the Pope, we | owe no spiritual allegiance to the Sut‘e.

The American section of the Socialist Labor party held another open-air meeting on the corner of Seventh and Market streets last evening and the speakers were not molested by the police. Kingsley, who Wwas recently arrested, will be tried by jury in the Police Court on the 22d inst., and Mrs. Smith and Zant, who were also arrested, will be tried on the 24th. The_open-air_meetings are largely at- tended, the audience remaining until the addresses arc concluded. Last evening the speakers were Mrs. N. F. Smith, Dr. Gil- bert and N. E. Kelsey. The subject was the Iabor organization from a socialist standpoint. % At the meeting of the Wageworkers’ Union the following resolution was passed relative to the recent arrests of socialist speakers: Resolved, That we condemn the action of the police authorities in arresting persons in the exercise of their constitutional rights—viz., that of “free speech,” and condole with the Socialists for the persecution and annoyance to which they have unjustly been subjec: LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING, She Preferred Non-cxistence to an Existence Without Health.
