For over a year the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association has been endeav- oring to secure to Californian business houses the contracts for supplying State institutions. Last year there was some correspondence on the matter between the association and Secretary Bernard of the Preston School of Industry at Ione. secretary promised to do what he could to recommend the idea to the trustees of the institution, and as a result of his efforts the foliowing letter was received yester- day at the rooms of the association: ToxE, Cal, April 7, 1896.

Fujiwara Struck in the Face by Tax Collector Jones. Rev. F, Fojiwara, assistant pastor of the Japanese Mission, Pine street, swore out a warrant yesterday for the arrest of Thomas Jones, a tax collector, on the charge of battery. Fujiwara went to the ferry yesterday morning to see some friends off. While standing there Jones went up to him and demanded immediate payment of his poll tax. He explained that he had no money with him, but if Jones would call at the | mission he would be paid. Then Jones truck him a heavy blow in the face with his clenched fist. Fujiwara reported the case to Captain Dunlevy, who advised him to go to the dity dall and swear out a warrant for | Jones’ arrest. ngrateful Youth.

Virginia what Mitch- ell's Maglc Lotion does for sprains, o The | ROBBED TELEPHONE BOXES Joseph O’Donnell, an Ex- Mes- senger-Boy, Caught in the Act. HE CONFESSES HIS GUILT. The Sunset Telephone Company Esti- mates the Amount Stolen at About $300. The thief who has been robbing the nickel-in-the-slot boxes of the Sunset Tele- graph and Telephone Company has been captured. Hisname is Joseph O’Donnell, an ex-messenger-boy, who has descended to crime to get money to satisfy his crav- ing for opium. | The first discovery of the thefts occurred on March 18 at the telephone in Cables & Bailey’s saloon, 121 Montgomery street. When the monthly collection was made there were only a few nickels in the box instead of from $& to $10 as formerly. Smce then the boxes in the following Telephone-Box Containing the Nickels, Showing Burglar-Alarm Attachment. places were found to have been riflea of their contents: Cafe Royal, Market and Fourth streets; Siebe Bros. & Plagemann, wholesale liquor, 328 Sansome stree Silver Dollar Saloon, Hal'eck and Sansome Fide! aloon, 625 Kearny street; grocer, 734 Broadway; Lepori, hotel and saloon, 511 Broadw Lacazette, saloon, 741 Jackson street; Barberris, res- taurant, 1318 Stockton street; Ortien & Gerhardt, saloon, 125 Powell street; Re- ception Saloon, 206 Sutter strest; Wrede, | saloon, Gough and Market streets; Con- stant Saloon, Post and Masonr streets; | Signal Transfer Company, Geary and | Jones streets; Morris, cigar-store, 1500 Market street; Giovannini, coalyard, 812 Pacific street; Carr, saloon, Sutter street iund Centiral avenue; Hotel, 791 Sutter street; Becker, grocer, 631 Sutter street; Searchlight Burean, real store, 1914 | = The plac telephone was in a recess and mnot in the line of vision of the occupants. The mo- | dus operandi of the thief was to drop a | nickel in the slot, unlock the box, take out the tin receiver for the nickels and empty the contents into his pockets. After the first discoveries were made new boxes were substituted with a slit in them, but the thief was not to be balked. He stole the box itself. Toen a special illmore street. it had no effect. The police were notified, and Detective George H. Graham and Policeman A. H. Holmes were detailed on the case along with William Brommage of the telephone company. About a week ago they decided to recommend that burglar alarms should be attached to the boxes. This was done, ana the telephone lessees were nortified to run to the telephone when they heard the alarm ring and hold the thief. On April 6 the burglar alarm in the tele- phone box at Cables & Bailey’s saloon, which the thief had again visited, rang, and a rush was made to the telephor O'Donnell was found tiere with the box open and the receiver full of nickels in nis vocket. He was held till Graham and Holmes were notified, They took him into cus- tody and he has been detained in the “‘tanks” at the City Prison since. he was the thief. He said he got a key to fit the boxes froma discharged employe of the telephone company. He went to China- town and got a duplicate set of keys made for 15 cents. He admitted he and others, whose names he refused to divulge, had entered intoa conspiracy to go all over the State and rob all the nickel-in-the-slot boxes. The confession was made on the understanding that a light sentence would be passed upon him. Last night he was booked on one charge of petty larceny and the sentence will likely be six months, The company has discharged employes before who have been caught stealing from There are about 3000 of these boxes in the City, but those given were the only ones | robbed by O’Donnell. The exact amount | stolen by O’Donnell is not known as no record is kept by the company of the nickel-in-the-slot switches, but it is esti- mated it will bebetween $250 and $300. The discharged employe of the company who gave O'Donnell tue key will not be prosecuted out of sympathy for his wife’s condition. When O’Donnell was arrested he was thoroughly searched for the key, but it could not be found. A small pocket in the “fly’’ of his trousers was discovered after: ward where he had evidently kept the key. It was suppored that he had hidden the key in the cell and magnets were used to try and find it without effect, O’Donnell declines positively to say where he has placed it. THE A 0. H. CONVENTION, Prominent Irishmen of the State to Meet at San Jose in May. Fight for State Secretary, Who Wil Att:nd the Nationa! Convention, Already On The annnal convention of the Ancient preparations are being made for the event. Probably the most exciting incident of the convention will be the election of State secretary. The fight is being centered on most important in the organization. There are a number of candidates already in the field, and the battle will be an interesting one. Canptain E. I. Sheehan is a candidate for State secretary and his friends are making an active canvass for hini. He is one of the foremost Hibernians on the coast and is a great worker for the cause which the order represents, the advancement of the religious, civil and social interests of the Irish-Catholic people. Charles McCarthy of Qakland is also 8 candidate for the the Sutherland | | estate, 602 Market street; Cohn, crockery- | selected were those where the | stamp was designed to seal each box, but ! | in the countiss respectiv 0'Donnell since his arrest confessed that | the boxes and this is the first prosecution. | Order of Hibernians of Cahfornia will be | held at San Jose early in May, and already | this office, as ic is regarded as being the | office, but Captain Sheehan’s suuforten declare that he will walk away with the rize. John Kenny, who is a prominent mem- ber ot the order in San Francisco, has also lately entered the field for State secretary. As the State secretary will represent California in the National convention, which will be held in Detroit in July, and which will be attended by some 200,000 delegates, a lively interest is being taken in the coming contest. The annual communion of the four divi- sions of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Oakland will take place at the Church of the Immaculate Conception at the 8 o’clock mass on Sunday morning next. It is expected that Archbishop Riordan will be present and deliver an address. - |HOW BOLDT GOT EVEN. A Saloon-Keeper Whacks a Man With a Bung-Starter Becanse He Didu’'t Buy a Drink. | 1 | H. Boldt keeps a grocery and saloon on | Eighth and Folsom streets. A few nights ago Jacob Kems, a laborer, living in the | Harmony Hotel, on Brannan street, went into a rear room of the saloon, where he remained for a few minutes, and was leav- ing without purchasing a drink, This an- | gered Boldt. “How much do you weigh?” Boldt asked him. “I have a bet with this friend of mine and want to settle 1t.” “Idon’t know,” said Kems, “what 1ay weightis. I haven't been weighed fora long time.” “Well,”” said Boldt, ‘let’s bave a drink on the subject.”” They had a drink and then Boldt's friend grabbed hold of Kems and nfted him off ms feet. Boldt took a bung-starter and whacked Kems over the hips and back with it to such an extent that Kems was confined to his bed for three days. Kems as soon as he was able to leave the house swore out a warrant for Boldt’s ar- rest on a charge of battery. Tuie case was settled in Judge Joachimsen’s court yes- terday, and Boldt was convicted and or- dered to appear for sentence to-morrow. MONUME NTAT MONTEREY Achievements of Commodore Sleat to Be Commem- orated. Every County in the State of California Invited to Contribute a Stone, The Sloat Monument Association met at the Occidental Hotel yesterday after- The members present were Dr. | | noon. | Washington Ayer, president; Captain W.

In calling the meeting to order President | Ayer said: For the information of the gentlemen pres- | ent I will state that this meeting was calle for the purpose of meking arrangements to Jay the cornerstone of & monument to be erected at Monterey in honor of Commodore Sloat and in_commemoration of his heroic exploit in | raising the stars snd stripes, which gave free- | dom to a misruled people and gave birth to a new civilization the whole of the Pacific Coast irom the 8 of Magellan to the & berian Sea, and secured 158,000 square miles of new territory to the United States and the | brightest star 1n the constellation of States.

It was resolved that the Board of Super- | visors of each county in California be in- vited to_attend the cornerstone celebra- | tion at Monterey on July 7 next, and to turnish a stone of the uniform si quired, with the date of the coun its organization cut thercon. The dimen- sions of tne stoue are to be three feet long, two feet wide and eighteen inches thick. It was the sense of the meeting that no stone prepared by prison labor should be i. The stones are to be eit er granite or marble, and if practicable to be quarried contributing, | Letters were read from United States Senator Perkins, and the mecting ex- | tended a vote of thanks to the Senator. The otficial report and orders of Commo- dore Slo re aiso read. Some historical information was given ag to the manner in which the commodore, at Mazatlan, ob- tained authentic news that hostilities had begun between the United States and | Mexico. = | From copies of official records and corre- | spoudence in the possession of Major Sher- | man, the 1act is established that Commo- dore Sloat received the first definite intel- ligence of the war from the fieet surgeon, Dr. Maxwell Wood. The surgeon was dispatched from Mazat- | lan to the exterior of Mexico, and after a | long and perilous Eoumey returned with | the news of the battle of Palo Alto. These facts were reported to John Parrott, United | States Consul at Mazatlan, and to Commo- tdore Sloat. This was on June 7, 1846. Thereupon Commodore .Sloat sailed for Monterey and a month later took posses-4 sion of California in the name of the | United States. | Many interesting incidents concerning | the movementsof Admiral Seymour of the British frigate Collingwood are noted in the data. Minor events concerning the landing of marines, the detail for hoisting the flag at Monterey, the detachment of the ship Portsmouth for San Francisco, the arrival of the United States ship Con- gress in Monterey Bay, and the arrival | also of H. B. M. ship Collingwood. | The Mexican Veterans, the Masonic fra- ternity and Knights of Pythias at Mon- | terey are taking an active interest in the work of arranging for the cornerstone ceremonies. Assurance has been received from Wash- ington that the Secretary of War will de- tail an officer to join the association in selecting a site for the monument on the Government reservation at Monterey. One of the letters mentioned from Sen- ator Perkins bears date March 30, 1896, |and is addressed to George Edwards, | Berkeley. The Senator writes: “Although the previous conduct of Com- modore Sioat has no bearing upon the fact that the United States took possession of California on a given date, which action is to be commemorated, it may be well to again point out that there are among the records of the Navy Department no docu- ments reflecting upon the officer in con- nection with this matter. In fact the re- port of the Secretary of the Navy, December 5, 1846, savs of the manner in which Sloat carried out his instructions, that he ‘observed the line of conduct pre- scribed to him with such intelligence and fidelity that no complaint has ever been made of any unauthorized suggestion on his part.’ " Senator Perkins also says: “The most diligent search by Lieutenant Young in the archives of the Navy Department has failed to bring forth any document or | reference which detracts from Commodore | Sloat’s reputation as a faithful officer.’” These facts were presented to show | clearly that Bancroft's bistory had not dealt fairly with Commodore Sloat. B Hit With a Lead Pipe. Charles Oleson, keeper of & rooming-house at 116 Steuart street. was taking to the Receiv- ing Hospital yesterday afternoon to have a lacerated wound in his scalp dressed. He was rotecting Sadie Hoimes, one of his roomers, rom Timothy Muldooney, her lover, who was threatening to kill her, when Muldooney whacked him over the head with a piece of lead pipe. After his wound was dressed Ole- son swore out a warrant for Muldooney's arrest on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. 189€. THEY LOOK FOR DELAY.|- The Contestants of the Fair Will Still Talking of Forgery. A MOVE IN COURT TO-DAY. It Is Not Expected It Will Reach the Jury for Some Little Time. The matter of the contest of the will of James G. Fair, dated September 24, will come up before Judge Slack this morning. The matter comes up under the contest filed by Judge Paterson on behalf of Her- man Oelrichs Jr. and the other minor chil- dren interested. As Charles L. Fair has since then filed » contest, it is more than likely that no defi- nite steps will be taken, but that the mat- ter will go over for a week or ten days, ac- cording to the slow processes of law. 8till, there is no teiling what a day may develop in the Fair will case. The unex- pected has happened so regularly in this matter that the greatest surprise now in reserve is that the expected should happen. Knight & Heggerty say they are pre- pared to follow the course they have marked out. They will go forward with their contest. “We have changed front with regard to the will of the 24th, because we do not now believe that it is the will of James G. Fair,”’ they say, “and we believe that we will be able to prove that it is not so con- clusively that even our opponents will be convinced. We believe that it is a forgery and that we will be able to show that it 1s a forgery. *We realized some time ago that we had been played for suckers on this will and the proofs have been coming along in a pro- cession ever since. Who is the forger? Well, thatis a part of our case, and we do not care to state at this time. It is not true,” said Mr. Heggerty yes- | terday, ‘‘that we submitted the pencil will to the inspection of the intimates of Mr. Fair for inspection and secured their writ- ten indorsement of it. We retained the principal experts in town, that is true, but 1 believe that only one of them saw the will. At least only one reported on it. “‘No, I don’t believe the case will get to trial for some time yer. This thing ot ask- i ing for a trial, pushing a jury into the box and going right along taking evidence is not to be expected in a matter of this importance. Whnen it does come to trial, | however, I am of the opinion that conclu- sions will be reached quickly. It will not be the long struggle before the jury that | seems to be expected.’” FAVOR PENNY POSTAGE. The Merchants’ Association’s Letter to the California Delegation. Among the advocates of the proposed 1-cent postal rate for ietters the Merchants’ | Association of this City Las always been prominent. Yesterday the association meiled copies of the following letter to | Senators George C. Perkins and Stephen M. White, and Representatives James G. Maguire, Eugene F. Loud, Samuel G.

Bowers: FRANCISCO, April 9, 1896, Dear Sir: st regniar meeting of the Dourd of Directors of the Merchauts’ Associa- tion it was unanimously decided to urge upon Congress the early adoption of & bill for the re- vision of second-class mail mntter and the re- dnetion of letter postage to 1 cent.

There were a number of who' testified that Smith did not Johnson, and a verdict of accidental was returned. Juror Anderson dis- sented, holding Smith responsible for John- son’s death. The evidence showed that Smith’s mother saw Johnson assault the old man and called to ner son to prevent him from killing him, as she thought he was trying to do. NEW TO-DAY. A new-comer !
