WILL CRUSH ouT ALL OPPOSITION, The Southern Pacific Com-| pany Is Out on the Warpath. ) AFTER BAY BUSINESS. “Spotters” Are in All Seaboard Towns and a Careful Tally Is Kept. SMALL STEAMERS MUST RETIRE Nothing on the Front Is Too Small for the Octopus to Strike At There is nothing so small in the shape of opposition that the Southern Pacific will not fight, and every steamer on the bay is made aware that the octopusis alive and active. Every merchant or dealer in Napa, who sends goods to or receives goods from San Francisco by the steamers Zin- fandel and Napa City, are known to the rallroad agents, and every now and again they get a gentle reminder to the effect that ju would be to theiwr interests to patronize the railroad. The steamer Alviso that runs to Alviso and the Sunol and Monticello that run daily to Vallejo are watched morning and evening and every person who travels by either boat is noted and his or her name jotted down for reference. In this way not only the merchants, but the traveling public also, are intimidated. Tag is also kept on the Hope, running to Berkeley, Caroline to Baden, Gerard C to Redwood City and the little lda to Suisun. In every instance the corpora- tion makes special rates by rail to meet the opposition by water, but nevertheless the steamers hang on, although in some instances it is a loosing game both for the railroad and the opposition. One of the lines that the octopus is de- termined to crush is that operated by Joe Parra. Joe owns the launch Ida and he carries freight to Suisun for $1 a ton. People who patronize him have been warned again and again, but as the lowest rate_offered by the railroad was $245 a ton Joe was kept pretty busy. His buxom wife belps him in the loading and unload- ing of the vessel and a twelve-yzar-old buy steers the small craft, so that his expenses are nominal. Nevertheless, the Southern | Pacific has pushed the boycott so hard that latter!y he has been compellea to ac- cept outside jobs in order to make a liv- ing. The Ida is only about 5 tons bur- den, so the rairoad must be hard pressed when it descends to tighting such an insig- | fine Mark A nificant craft.

THE LABOR TUNIONS, The Building Trades Will Draft a New Mechanics’ Lien Law. At the meeting of the Building Traaes Council last evening a special committee was appointed to draft a new mechanice’ lien law which the council will present to the next Legislature for passage. It is claimed that the present lien law affords no protection to the mechanic, and that unscrupulous contractors and property- owners can avoid the payment of just debts for work performed. The council hereafter will meet in the roomso! the Labor Bureau Association at 915} Market street. The newly elected officers of the Coopers’ Union were installied last evening. After this was accomplished the union held a reunion and high jinks, which lasted until a late hour. T e Labor Bureau Association held an election Wednesday night in its new quarters, at 915)¢ Market street, und the following were selected for the board of directors: W. A. Carter, C. Griffiths, Harr) Hamilton. G. B. Benham was re-elected, John Palmer was selected as recording secretary, C. Meanwell as financial secre- tary and A. Parks as tieasurer. The holdover directors are A. O. Hamil- ton, W. H. Hutchinson, Daniel Murpuy and A. Beoedict. In consequence of the action of the management of the Turk- | strect Temple dislodging the Bureau As- sociation from its o.d quarters the asso- ciation passed a resolution declaring that its members wouid regard as uufriendlg 1o the association any body, union or clul patroniziug or hiring bslis in the Turk- street Temple. e e New Corporations.

The major's advance to the front of the platform was greeted with loud and long hand-clapping. | I want to say this right at the start: There is no antipathy on my part to the old movement, and I know from personal contact with the commander what his wishes are in this regard. He desires | nothing to be said or done that might injure the cause, and he sets the example himself. [Applause.] “Iam not here to “eek any one to come | to us. We are all volunteers, and who comes must come of hisown accord and through his own convictions. No under- handed means will be employed. Itisnot our intention to draw from the old organi- zation, but to recruit from the wide field before us. “Iam very sorry that misrepresenta- tions should have been made regarding | our cause and regarding Commander and | Mrs. Booth. If you believed all that has been said you would. certainly think they have degenerated and fallen from grace, and I therefore feel it my duty to vindi- | cate them before the American people. The commander’s course has not been actuated by selfish motives or by personal ambition. “That the general should have said that the commanaer had fallen beneath flat- tery and temptation was a cause of greatu surprise and sorrow to the commander and his wife. But it is false and untrue. ‘It was a great mistake and resulted from false reports made by interested par- ties to the general, who should at least first have investigated them before he charged his son with wrongful ambition. “The commander told the truth as straight and strongly when the rich were { among his hearers as at any other time, and never sought to pandor to them.” “While things were 1n a state of unrest, caused by the attitude of the general, it was urged upon the commander by many Salvation Army leaders,” explained Major | Blackhurst, “to assume the independent | command of the American branch of the | | Army, bat after a nperiod of prayer he refused the proffered crown, as he be- | lieved such a course would not be honor- | able or right.” Continuing he said: | “People wonder what are the real issues | 1n the case. Some seem to have an idea it was a question of obedience. It was not. | It was not a question of the commander’s unwillingness to leave this country. It was not a question of being a soldier, for he had obeyed orders for years past.’’ The major stuted that a letter had been ! sent to Londdn by, Ballington: Booth eon- Major Washington Blackhurst (Ballington Booth's Volunteers of America). tony-like mission by referring to the charges of undue ambition made against Commander Booth and then urdertaking to refute them and to show that the leader of the *“Volunteers of America,” the rival organization of the Sslvation Army, was devoted to the cause of Jesus Christ | and the sinners of the earth, and like Ceesar had nobly and heroically refused a crown. He also went into the causes for the de- fection of the commander, as be in tones the Volunieers of America, the American organization com- posed of the seceders from the Salvation Army, which has its headquarters in Lon- don, with General Wiiliam Booth, the father of the commander, at its head. Major Blackburst had his audience, which nearly filled the nave and gallery of the edifice, and which showed a gener- ous sprinkling of Baivation Army mem- bers, with him from the start. When the two verses and the chorus had been duly rendered, Captain Gardner sug- eested: “‘Let's ellg it ont this time. All togethe! And the chorus was repeated to the ciapping of hands. “Let the ladies sing it by themselves,” he then remarke., and the ladies promptly responded. “Now ail together,”” and all tovether to hand- clapping the ‘‘catchy” lines were again rendered. After a brief prayer Captain. Garduer, who is the leader ‘of the local seceders irom the Salvation Army, spoke a few words on his position. 'l am ihoroughly satisfied,”” he said, “‘with the step I have taken. I want it understood that it was not taken impul- sively, but only after I feit it was the ounly honest thing I could do. So you see me here to-night as a Volunteer of America.'’ He introduced Major Blackhurst, ex- plaining that the major was formerly pri- vate secretary to Brigaaier Fielding, for- merly of the Salvation Army and now of the Volunteers, and haa also been for a long time very close to Commsnder and Mrs. Booth. He conciuded by nyinq “All who are glad 10 see bim say ‘Amen.’ of affection referred to Ballington Booth, | !ana the origin of taining a list of twenty-two grievances which he desired to have remedied. Booth’s refusal to 2o to London, he added, was not a resignation or a repudiation of the old movement, but he felt he could serve no longer in the cause until the grievances had been settled. “He bad lost confidence in the general,” he went on, *“and in the international sys- tem of administration, and felt that the arbitrary aaministration of the general would not succeed in this country.” At great length and in detail be showed the difference in the spirits of the people | of England and of the United States, and | declared that the latter would not stand tue ordering about and the domineering of the London office, while to the English such treatment, owing to the prevalence of caste in Great Britain, was iaken as a matter of course. He closed with a clever appeal to the feelings of right and hberty, which he said were apparent in the Ameri- can, and bdggea for the support of his hearers for the cause he represented. Mrs. Booth, he said, would probably make a visit to the coast early in November next. In order more speedily to organize the work and get it establiched in the Cit; Major Blackhurst has decided that St Capiain Gardner shall at once devote his energies to the cousummation of the plans. The staff captain will take charge of the post soon to be opened and is au- thorized to receive money donations for this phrpose. It is proposed in connection with this to anize a military trainine school, which will al«o be under his supervision. To accompiish this will neces-itate the expenditure of $500, and interested friends —understanding it means a new start— will kindly resoond. An estimate care- fully prepared will be presented. Major Blackhurst will return in about two wecks and formaily open the post. He wili then permanently establish his battation head- uarters. In the meantime Staff Captain gudner will be found at 526 Kearny street. “White Hat's’’ Assignee. Judge Slack yesterday aj ted J.J. Mack assignee of D. J.

Story of EXTRAVAGANT CHARGES Ap Investigation by the Board of Health Is Now Under Way. BIG SAVINGS COULD BE MADE. Chief Engineer William Carson Says the Boilers Are So O:d They Are Dangerous. W. N. Hickman, druggist at the City and County Hospital, made some sensa- tional statements at the investigation of hospital affairs that was resumed before the Board of Health yesterday morning. He was answering a running fire of ques- tions relating to the drugs and instru- ments used at the institution, and in ex- planation of the fact that last month’s bill for these materials was lower than those of previous periods said that he thought that the ‘‘combination” must have broken up. *“What combination is that?” asked Dr. Hart hastily, after a startled glance had passed between the physicians. ‘Well, I'm not certain,” said Hickman, “but I think it is between the wholesale houses of Redington & Co., Mack & Co. and Langley, Michaels & Co. These firms usually alternate in securing the contract for supplies, . which is let every month. has been the custom for two houses to put in high bids, and the one whose turn it is to get the contract is a low one.” “It looks prearranged, then, does it?'’ asked Dr. Hart. **Yes, it does. Last month a couple of Eestern bouses put in bids. They were about 7 pec cent higher than Mack & Co.” The talk of combinations did not go any further at this time, but the board wiil delve deeperinto the subject in the future. The witness aeclared tbe prices paid for drugs are extravagant and that 10 per cent or more could be saved by buying in the open market rather than under the pres- ent contract system. “What was the entire expens=e of drugs and surgical goods for the hospital last year?” asked Dr. Hart. “*About $9000.” “Do you look over all drug bills?"" “1 do.” ‘“Have you noticed any extravagant prices?” “I bave. Drugs have been purchased far in excess of tlie market price. Bottles and corks can be purchased at from 50 to 100 per cent less than was paid.” The witness then stated that excessive prices have been charged for codeine, as h as $3 50 to $5 an ounce baving been aid. ““Whnat could you have bought it for?” was asked. The witness gave figures showing he could have bought codeine from to 60 cents an ounceless than tue figures at which the City secured the drug. According to the druggist’s estimate he could save about §50 & yearon thatone article. % : Carvolic acid, ground linseed, opium, creosote, clinical thermometers, subnitrate of bismuth, ether, chloroform and absorb- ent cotton were also mentioned as articles on which a large saving could be made. He believed that if he were given the urchasing of the wines, liquors and srngu he would make a saving of $1500 a year at least. William Carson, the chief engineer of the hospital, testified that the coal received was not only alwrps full weight, but some- times over weight. No amouat of ques- tioning could bring out any suggestion of jobbery in the matier of coal. Engineer Carson testified, however, that the boilers and gipo system were in a con- dition sbsolutely dangercas, and an ex- plosion at any time would dot surprise nim, ATE MANY SaANuWICHTS, Boys of the Youths’ Directory Enjoy an Outing at Miller's. The boys of the -Youths’ Directory en- joyed an all-day’s outing yesterday under the greenwood, near S8an Rafael, at Mil- ler's. The occasion was the annual excur- sion given to the boys by Miss Nora Sulli- van, at her own expense.

The Manufacturers Take a Strictly White Labor Stand. THEIR NEW TRADEMARK Those Who Employ Mengolians Cannot Use It on Their Goods. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTION It M2y Cause Trouble but the Asso- ciation Wil Not Go Against Public Scntiment. No member of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association who in any way employs Chinese can use the association’s home-industry trademark on his goods. This cdict went forth yesterday at the meeting of the directors. The trademark committee, consi: of J. W. Kerr, A. Darnham and S. Tacy recommended the following rules and rezulations, which were adopted: The trademark shall be permitted only on tl‘nmlea of California manufacture or produc- on. The use of the trademark shall be limited to members of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association of California in good standing. License signed by the president and nttested by the secretary shall be issued to members, entitling them to the use of the trademark for one year. It shall be compulsory upon all members using the trademark to put their name and ad- dress on_the goods in conjunction with said trademark. Applications shall be made in writing by members desiring to use th- trademark, and it shall be fully stated in said application how, where and upon what goods the use of the trademark is contemplated. Members found to be using the trademark upon articles other than those stated in said license, or on articles not of California manu- facture oz production, shall be expelled {rom the association and the license be canceled. Any person or persons found to be using said trademark withouc license from this associa- tion shall be prosecuted according to law. * * * It was J. W. Kerr who sprung the Chi- nese question by asking if the trademark committee would be authorized to issue the trademark to California manufactur- ers who employ Chinese in the manufac- ture of goods. that such a matter could be held in abey- ance for a time. This brouzht out M. J. Keller, who said: *I know where there are several maunufacturers who keep a few white people for display purposes so they can say that they empioy white labor, while at the same time they have twenty- five to fifty Mongolians doing most of the work. This is not fair to tne public.” “That may be true,”” answered Mr. Crocker, ‘‘but can we dictate to the manu- taciurers as to how and by whom their gocdu shall be made? We are treading on elicate ground. By discriminating among our members and by saying that this man may use the trademark and that man may no. I think rather savors of a boycott.”” Mr. Keller asked if Mr. Crocker would issue a license to use the trademark to a Chinese manufacturer in this State, to which Mr. Crocker answered that he did not think that he would, *“‘What, then, is the difference, so far as the principle is concerned ?” asked J. P. Currier, “whether we issue our trade- mark to a whiie man who employs Chi- nese or a Chinese wno employs only white b 1p?” The question remained unanswered, but still Mr. Crocker wanted the matter postponed, and referred again to treaaing upon dangerous ground. A. Sbarboro said that the public long ago decided the Chinese question, and it is not politic for the association to encourage Chinese labor in any way. Mr. Keller introduced the following resolution, which, after a little discussion, was adopted : Resolved, That the committee on trademark of this board be instructed to refuse the issuance of a license to any manufacturers or producers who do not empioy exclusively free white labor. And so the matter was settled, and when the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association’s trademark appears on any goods or wares the public may rest as- sured that neither Chinese nor convict hands had anything to do with their manufacture. ARGU-D ALL DAY. Attorneys in the Becker-Creegan For- gery Trial Talk for Hours. The entire day was consumed in argu- ments in the Creegan-Becker forgery case in Judee Wallace’s court yesterday. In the morning Attorney McPike opened for the defense and was followed by Mr. Wil- son, the special prosecutor. Wilson made a point of the finding of the new $20 pieces in the trunks of the accusea. Peter J. Dunne closed for the defense. His argument continued all the afternoon. Dunne roasted the Police Department and made all sorts of fun of Captain Lees. His remarks aronsed much laughter in the crowd in the couriroom. Among other ailusions to the chief of detectives he compared him to, an old godmother who carefully watches over the evil children— Dean aud McClosker. Again Dunne said: “These two men remind me of two little NEW TO-DAY. Are you interested in pure food, pure drink, health, and prosperity — your own and your neigh- bors’?

Alabama coons nursed and coddled by old Mammy Lees.” Dunne bitterly attacked the testimony of both Dean and McClosker and accused them of perjuring themselves on numer- ous occasions. His opinion of the prose- cution’s witnesses is best expressed in the following doggerel, which he delivered during his remarks: Please, captain, let McClosker go, T'll swear he wusn't in the show. Then he will swear, when he is free, That he was mixed up in forgery. Tl take the stana and swear the same, And that will be our little game.
