There were present at the meeting seven of the nine directors who are in town, with M. J.

Japan herself pur- chases more largely irom England than any | The goods that Japan wants | England furnishes cheaper than any other nation.

We have alrcady plenty of proof of | the danger.”’ | J. P. Currier said that the importation of silk from Japan had trebled within the past few years, and the silk manufacturers of the country could be relied upon to back any efforts made here. L. Saroni, on behalf of Mr. Sonntag, | who had been compelled to leave the meet- 1ng, moved that a committee of three be appointea to confer with the leading spirits of the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and other kindred organ- izations, with a view to determining what | action shou'd be taken to prevent the im- ortation of Japanese manufactures, with | ull power to act. | Julian Sonntag, Louis Saroni and James Sproule were appointed the members of the committee. At this point a letter was received from Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald and read. Mr. Fitzgerald offered his services, partic- ularly in regard to gathering statistics through his office to aid the committee. He said in part: Since the close of the late war Japen has de- voted its attention to fostering enterprises and industries, having within its confines hordes of the lowest and cheppest order of labor and possessing among its subjects the intuitive and imitative power of reproducing the most intri- cate and cflm}»lleawd mechanism—a combina- tion of conditions which to-day existsin no otner country and only serves to place Japan upon a pedestal in manufacturing which com- pels the known world to kneel at her feet. In Japan in 1883 there were only approxi- mately 49,000 spindles. In 1888 there were 85,000, but between 1888 and 1892 it jumped to the vast number of 600,000 spincles and is constantly increasing. Notonly in cotton have such enormous ‘bounds been made, but in the manufacture of watches and silks and, in fact, all industries which owe more of their value to patience and skill than to labor-saving machinery. | not onl The Orientals who formerly gave England, France and America cause for felicitation that they would forever be importers are to-day not only not importing their own goods but are manufacturing them and haye become export- ers of the surplus in competition with America and England. > The manufacturer of every article of wearing apparel is confronted with a competition in not only the goods themselves, but owing to the ebsence of copyright and dpnu‘ntllwu in Japan his goods are notonly duplicated but also his brand, so that to-day it is possible to purchase in Japan any of these articles bearing | & fac-simile of the brand of the American or European manufacturer for less than a tenth i the price paid for the same article in this country. A representative of one of the largest dental instrument manufactories in this country some ttme ago visited Yokohama with the view of introducing his goods and forming business communications in this new field. To his astonishment in looking in the windows of & Japanese shop he viewed instruments which were exactduplicates of those manufactured by him—if anything more skillfully finished— Dbearing his own trademark. He said that he could have bought these goods ihere at retail, shipped them to this country and sold them at wholesale at a profit. 1 desire to call the attention of your associa- tion to the action taken by the merchants in New South Wales some time since to prevent this competition, the Teports citing an in- tance where & Japsnese buyer purchased 30,000 sides of leather in Syaney, shipped ihe same to Japan and_sold “the manufactured preduct in the colonies at less than 50 per cent of the price of same goods of home manu- iacture. These, together with numerous incidents the data upon which are open to 1uspection in my office, present an appalling siate of affairs which requires immediate action upon the part of American citizens, to the cna that will our institutions be protected from the merciless attacks of these foreign commercial invaders, but the American stanaard of labor and manhood will be pro- tected from this degrading and destructive element of cheap labor. M. J. Keller, in speakinglof the question after the meeting, said: “1t is most im- Egnantnuw that the exact situation should made known to Congress, and we should render them every assistance to reach a conclusion as to what should be done. If this invasion comes on us like the invasion of Chinese labor the feeling will be very intense, and that is liable to occur if the situation is as it is outlined in the papers. The commercial bodies and labor unions should begin and keep up an agitation until we force Congress to seri- ously consider the matter. Our represen- tatives in Congress should be supplied with backing from here. They must have some authority to show that we are in earnest. we can give them.” Senator Perkins before his departure for the East said: My position upon this matter ought to be well understood. All my speeches in the last Congress were in direct opposition to the im- portation of cheap foreign goods. tectionist out and out. When the Wilson bill was under discussion I fought against those portions which I thought would do injury to the manufacturing interests of this country, especially against the interestsof California. hen I predicted just suci. a state of affairs. What I am surprised at is that my prediction should have proven true Ko $0on. The matter ought to be taken up by the next Congress. Ordinarily the tariff bill would not have to be taken up at the Democratic term of Congress, but I think I voice the sentiments even of the anti- protectionists that some change is necessary 1n_the teriff which will give the Government revenue. KEven the tariff-for-revenue citizens must want a change that will give the revenue they hope for. If the tariff bill can be brought up for amend- ment I willdo all in_my power to reise the tariff on all articles thai the Japanese are now likely to undersell Americans in. This is & question, I think, upon which every citizen of California, whether a iriend or an enemy of the present administration, should unite. Furniture-Workers Aroused. The Furniture-workers’ Union No. 15 has taken up the matter of the importa- | tion of cheap goods from Japan. At the meeting last evening several speeches were made showing that the cheap stuff from Japan is working an injury to every manu- facturer both directly and inairectly. was decided to refer the matter to the ex- ecutive committee to draw up suitable resolutions protesting against the handling and using of that class of goods. At the next meeting the resolutions will adopted and afterward submitted to the Trades Council. If confirmed by the latter body the resolutions will be forwarded to the Chamber of Commerce, Manufacturers’ Association and similar bodies. The pur- pose of all this is to show the attitude of the laboring people upon the question. THE PAVILION TO0 SHALL, Sixty Stalls Will Be Built on (}rove Street to House Horses. As Many as 375 Splendid Animals to Be Exhibited at the Great Society Event. The Mechanics’ Pavilion was in posses- sion of a large force of carpenters yester- | day, and there were quite as many more laborers hard at work moving planks and boards. And outof the whole busy scene | an amphitheater was growing as if by magic, with long rows of boxes reaching upward and backward in terraces. familiar interior of the great, rude barn was losing its haracter with every hour, and instead of the spacious stretches of floors it could be seen that another horse- show pavilion was being fashioned—on lines similar to those of last year’s enter- tainment, though more ample and preten- tious. The arrangement of boxes and seats will be almost the same for the coming horse show as in the eventof 18394. There will, however, be a greater amplitude of space and accommodation for the crowds that are expected to attend every night of the season. Behind these tiers of seats every foot of floor will be utilized for stalls, cor- ridors, carriage-stands and harness-rooms. In fact, this most interesting feature is to be arranged with great care because of the demand for space, and also in view of the strong inclination of lovers of horses and fine equinages to see ‘how the horse show looks behind the scenes. So due re- gard will be paid the comfort of visitors. But this year the Pavilion is not large enough to house all the magnificent horses that areto be gathered. Tue sidewalk on Grove street from Polk to Larkin will have a stable of its own for five or six days, that all horses may have temporary homes at the show. The total number of horses entered yes- terday was 375, and as this was such an increase over expectations sixty stalls out- side the Pavilion on Grove street must be used. . The equipages already entered include eleven tandems, eleven coaches four-in- hand, and a great variety of dogcarts, family carriages and other turnout features that are probably new to California. “This improvement,’’ remarked an offi- cer of the association yesterday, “goes to Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Rl Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE rove that, as a result of the first show eld a year ago, a taste for handsome traps of all kinds has been developed here. Some of the new traps have been imported, though most of them were brought from New York. The influence of the horse show, through collecting and presenting the best things in turnouts, will be felt more ‘and more every year in California until there will be as great a variety of tasteful and fashionable rigs here as in England or the East. With better streets in San Francisco and our interior cities and good roads we will have driving asso- ciations all vying with one another for elegance and merit in all points of excel- lence. “The same_ will apply to horses. This season we will bave all the celebrated | horses in the breeding classes at the show. Men who care for horses will have an op- portunity of seeing for themselves the best stock in the State, and no doubt there will develop from such rivalry and knowledge a splendid strain of road horses, hackneys, and indeed of all the classes througbout California.” — e | FUNERAL OF J.

Eastland were held at the Chureh of the Advent, on Eleventh street, at 11:30 A. M. yesterday. Six of the E copal clergy joined in the services. Rev. J. A.

He had | arrived early in the morning on business | bent and was looking for 318 Market street. Gazing skyward and walking backward led bim into an open trap door in the sidewalk in front of Fred Kohnke's Mer- chants’ Cafe at 300 Market street, corner of Front. The guards were not up to pre- vent the doors from closing, and inciden- tally to protect passers-by from falling in, so down went Mr. Plumb, a la McGinty. He is an atbletic.young man, and, as he felt he was tumbling into an abyss, he reached out with both hands, each grasp- ix;}g the chains attached to flaps. They afforded him momentary relief, about as valuable as the proverbial drowning man’s straw. The weight of his body and the muscular arm-jerk he gave to regain his balance brought the flaps to a close, and the full impact “didn’t do anything” to Mr. Plumb’s head. No, it simply cut the ecalp on a favorite spot where the hair ceased growing, and whether or not there is a slight fracture a scar will always re- main. The blow stunned him and he fell the remainder of the distance into the cellar, but some men at work there saved him from more serious injury. Mr. Plumb was carried into Charles Drescher’s barber-shop, next door, where he was patched up and sent home. There is likely to be a suit for damages against Mrs. Macdonough, to whom the building belongs, although at the present time Plumb declares himself satisfied that he did not sustain worse injuries than he is now nursing. e o HENRY MARTIN'S ESTATE.B Judge Coffey Has Signed the Decree of Conditional Distribution. ‘Judga Coffey has signed the decree of distribution in the estate of Henry Martin in accordance with his order of Monday last. : lfy the decree May E.

The Street Department’s Irresponsi- bility and the Ways of Con- tractors Shown. While the prosecution in the Ashworth case failed utterly, and the defendant was victorious, as a result of the exposition of law by Judge Murply, the case is likely to prove worth much more than its cost to the public, It has served to haul forth from the tangle of general laws, charter provisions and ordinances bearing on street matters the strange fact that the bulk of the City’s street improvements—the original im- vrovements which it is most important to have well done—are being made without the control of any responsible or official authority. The case has again illustrated the incompetent, careless and fraudulent methods by which the City gets a large share of its street improvements, and it may do something toward driving into the mind of that dullard in public business, the public, the point that it gets the worst of it right along, somehow. The fact that the Superintendent of Streets, while he is supervising and ac- cepting $1,500,000 worth of street improve- ments made by private contract each year is merely doing a gracious and practically voluntary act to which no official respon- sibility attaches, and for any misconduct in which he cannot be punished, was new to James Denman, as it is to most other people. Mr. Denman was a member of the Street Committee of the last Board of Supervisors and took a careful interest in street improvements. In discussing the matter yesterday he said: The whole thing is a surprise to me. While the most of the work of improving streets not accepted by the City is done by private con- tract, thesé contracts are quasi-pubiic ones, owing to the interest the City has in the men- ner in which the work is done, and to the fact that the work must be satisfactory fo the Su- perintendent of Streets before it can be ac- cepted by the Board of Supervisors. This is, however, I believe, merely a matter of City ordinance. Ialways supposed that the Super- intendent of Streets was responsible for all Wwork done under his supervision. This private contract system of making im- provements ought to be abolisbed, and when I was in the board I and others tried to effec it. Those private contracts are genera frauds. The getting of those contracts isa regular business. A solicitor representing some contractor, or often kimself acting as a promoter, finds & stretch of street that might or ought to be improved and he canvasses the Droperty-owners for signatures to a petition to the Board of Supervisors that the work be aone and to a contract for doing the work at a stated price per foot. He telis the property owners, who know little about street matters, that it will be cheaper by private than by pub- | lic contract, because they save advertising and surveying expenses. He doesn’t teil them, however, that the work will cost them from $300 to $500 a bloek more. § The solicitor generally works for himself, and when he gets the consent he hawks it abont | among street contractors and gets from £100 to $500 forit. When the board grantsa permit the contractor can go-ahead. When the work is done the Superintendent of Streets recom- mends its acceptance by_the City,and if no good reason appears the Street Committee ac- cepts it, ana tuereatter the City is responsible for the coudition of that street. If acceptance | is refused the work must be made satisfactory. If the contractor got his money before accept- ance was refused the people would have to pay to have the work done over again. When I was in the board we refused to grant permits unless the contractor showed us contracts re- quiring the work to be performed 1o the satis- faction of he Superintendent of Streets before he was paid. We did this to protect the prop- erty-owners. The other method is for the board to order a street improved at the expense of the proper owners and to advertise for bids for the wo; In that class of work the Superintendent of Streets would undoubtedly be officially re- sponsible for his supervision and acceptance. The price of bituminous paving under this system used to be about 17 cents a square foot, while the same work by private contract generally cost 22 cents. There is,of course, room for careless and fraudulent work under the public contract system, but I think there would hardly be as much, and there is at least some official responsibility. The private con- tract system is a habit or custom more than anything else, nursed by the contractors. Any new street improvement can be made under the public contract method. If it is so that there is no responsibility on any one under the private contract system the only safety is for the Board of Supervisors to refuse to ap- prove private contracts and do all work the other way. By these private contract irauds the City is in fuct mulcted, because it takes on its-hands bad work that will prove costly in Tepairs, George T. Gaden, the Mayor’s expert, who has been active, in conjunction with George W. Elder, in bringing to light the mass of petty frauds in street work that | have recently been uncovered, had this to say yesterday : As far as the law is concerned it is mized up so that no one can_make head or tail out of it; but Assistant District Attorney Black came into court loaded down with law in support of his side, which was not listened to. Judge Murphy’s position was that it was a matter be- tween the property-owners and the ¢ontractor, that the Superintendent of Streets was simply asort of arbitrator between them and that he was not responsible for his deputies. If that is 80 it is a nice state of affairs. The work in eight out of ten streets in this City is done fraudulently—bitumen, basalt blocks or sew- ers. The street work here is a big farce, and contractors are no more governed by law and specifications than a pirate on the high seas. Ithink that one result of the case, however, will be to put the people more on thieir guard. SHE GOT TIRED OF HIM. The Strange Disappearance of Mrs. Millie Kloch, Which Alarmed Her Husband, Accounted For. Frank Kloch, 10 Oak street, applied to ‘Warrant Clerk Graham of Judge Joachim- sen’s court yesterday for a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Thomas and Dr. Taylor, 1055 Market street. He said that two: weeks ago his wife, Millie, kissed him good-by, as he wes going on a short bu;iness trip to the country, and since then he had not seen or heard of her. She intended that day to go to Dr. Thomas’ to have an operation performed by Dr. Taylor. What worried bim was that she might have died under the operation, but when he asked for information from the doctors they re- fused to tell him anytbing about her. So he wanted them arrested to force them to tell the truth. A S Graham sympathized with him in his trouble, but told him he could not issue the warrant. He advised him to report the case to police headquarters, which he did, and Detective Cody wasdetailed to in- vestigate. Cody reported he had learned from Dr. Thomas that Mrs. Kloch had been under treatment by Dr. Taylor, and that she was now living with her married daughter near Fruitvale. Mrs. Kloch had become tired of her husband, and would not live with him any more. She hadre- quested them not to tell him where she was living. Kloch, who has a cigar-stand on the corner of Eighth and Market streets, was told where his wife could be found, but he did not believe it. It was suggested tbat he should take a trip- across the bay and satisfy himself, but he thought that was the duty of the police. — e EXTRA mince pies delivered to nearly all Earu of the City for Thanksgiving.

A Man Supposed to Be Dan Carroll of Tulare Suffocated in a Lodging- House. ‘What appears to be a case of suicide by suffocation, but what may develop into something more startling, occurred yes- terday afternoon in a lodging-house at 626 California street. 52 Yesterday morning a man and a woman who, if actions are to be relied upon, were greatly interested in each other’s welfare, called at the lodging-house and procured a room, registering as ‘“John Smith and lady.” Late in the afternoon the door was forced in and the almost lifeless body of the stranger found lying upon the bed, the gas jets both flowing at full force. The patrol wagon was hastily sum- moned and he was driven as rapidly as Eosslhle to the Receiving Hospital, but efore reaching there he had succumbed to the effects of the deadly fumes. A search of the remains disclosed a gold watch and chain and a ring. The only thing which could be of any use in establishing his identity was an en- velope in his pocket addressed to Dan Carroll, Tulare, Cal., and it is supposed that he hailed from that city. A thorough search has failed to reveal the identity of the woman who accom- panied him, and that fact, if nothing more, casts a cloud of mystery over what would otherwise be a not uncommon case. GEORGE WHIE DISPUTED His Version of the Contempt Case Reviewed by Attorney Linforth. ! The Round Valley King’s Lame Leg Helped Him to a Continuance of the Case. George E. White’s version of the pro- ceedings in contempt of Judge Hebbard’s court, for which he is paying a part of the penalty in the County Jail, was yesterday disputed in part by W.H. Linforth, one of the attorneys (being associated with At- torney Highton) for Mrs. Frankie White. Mr. Linforth read THe CALL’s exclusive in- terview with White with uncommon in- terest. He expressed some surprise at what he termed the peculiar inference that | might be gained from the statements of ; the King of Round Valley. White also read with considerable in- terest the story which he had himself told, and was quite well pleased with the ac- curacy of its reproduction. “I might be a little more explicit,”” be said, “in the matter of value of my | property. The referee placed it at about $300,000, estimating my debts at $130,000 to $150,000, leaving a balance of value of $150,000 to $170,000, out of which Mrs. White was decreed $100,000.” After meditating a few seconds, he added: *Well, I don’t know but $140,000 would be nearer right. Really, I do not believe the property worth more thnnl' $140,000 after deducting the debts. How- ever, the referee’s report, and not my opinion, formed the basis of the court’s action.” ; But this difference in the estimate of value of the proverty was a matter of no varticular importance to Mr. Linforth. The difference of opinion between the reforee and White he did not consider of any particular consequence. He said: 1 desire to correct a misconstruction that 1s made by White as to the actual proceedings in contempt. His statement would lead to the | belief that he was adjudged in contempt for failing to apoear in court on the day set for the | lncnrm%of the contempt. To be sure, he refers | evasively to the real matter of contempt,which \vas the Jeasing of his property to Rohtbough-— not Rohrer, as he is sometimes called. White’s statement that Juage Hebbard would not look at the certificate of Dr. Bellamy nor at the wound were a trivial thing but for the inference that it carries. The record of the court will show the exact facts, and that is the best evidence in this matter. The or-| der to show canse why White should not be | adjuaged in contempt was issued upon the | sworn petition of the receiver, Wilson T. ith, on April 23 last, returnable May 3. White received the wound in his leg here in San Francisco and went to Round Valley after | being hurt, o it was necessary to send the order to Covelo, his home in Kound Valley, | and have it served on him there, -which was | done on April 26. When the matter was called for hearing White was not present in court, but was repre- sented by his attorneys, Barclay Henley and Edward Lynch. They presented_the affidavit | of Dr. Bellamy that White was suffering from a | wounded leg and moved for a continuance on that ground. We objected. holding that the lea was a sham and that he could have been ere if he wished. But the court would not listen to us, and the hearing was continued till May 10, and it was again continued till May 13, on which date White was in court, then through motions and demurrers it was carried over till the next day, when the Judge made the order of con- tempt, the penalty of which was five daysin jail and $500 fine. 3 As to White's statement that Rohrbough did not even have a trial, that is untrue. His case was taken up first on May 13, and on May 21 the court found him rmill{ of 'disobeying the | injunction in the matter of taking the lease on White's property and adjudged him in con- temprt, of which he 18 now in jail, with White, suffering the penaity. i ————————— Painters’ Card System. The card system adopted by the Painters’ and Decorators’ Union went into effect yesters day morning. Under this system no union workman can work on a job with those who do not belong to the union. A week’s grace was allowed all painters before putting the rule into rigid force. This is to allow non- union men an opportunity to become mem- bers. It has already had its effect, for at the last meeting seventy-five painters applied for admission and were accepted. Reports from nearly all of the jobs are encouraging and there are only three bosses who, so far as heard from, are uniriendly to the system.. The union claims that it holds the majority of the painters and it has no fear but what the card system will be a success. NEW TO-DAY.
