The annual election of officers for the Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s Association was held at Pionecr building on Fourth street on last Tuesday, when the following were elected: Joseph S. Marshall, presi- dent; Stephen Bunner, first vice-presi- dent; George Carlisle, second vice-pres dent; James Hayden, third vice-president; James Pennycook, recording secretary; Gus Pohimann, financial secretary; Wil linm Fahrenkrig, treasurer; board of di- rectors — Captain Jobn Foley, John Satchell, John McGreevy, Henry Kohn, A. Anderson; trustees—Fred A. Will, Laurence Relenger and R. Harrold, The only real contest worthy of the name was for the office of president, for which position the friends of Senator J. H. Mahoney tried to win out against Marshall, but in this they were defeated, as the handsome Senator only ot 35 votes, as against his opnonent’s 65; but \hen it was said that Mahoney did not particularly care about the result. b et Tum Suden and Jake Rauer. Attorney Otto tum Suden writes in connec- tion with the Rauer case now pending before the Grand Jury that he is notand never has been Mrs. Jones' attorney, and that he left no imperfect record as such attorney. He aleo denies that he consented 1o the proceedings taken by Rauer against Mrs. Jones. 1o take the evidence of | onies to be | to the United Kingdom—Quick | Time From Kobe. The busiest vessel in the bay yesterday | was the United States battle-ship Oregon. | Boats were coming and going and along- ! side were scows delivering coal, and the | water-boat, Sea Nymph, was pumping | into the reservorr thousands of gallons of | Spring Valley water. The battie-ship was loaded down to her fullest capacity, and every man on board felt corresponaingly | happy as the huge fighting mass of steel | sank inch after inch into the waters of the | bay. | The crew of the big warship are tired of | lying inactive in Mission Bay. They have | bad all “the time ashore they want’’ and { sigh for *a life on the ocean wave.” War with all its horrors has no terrors | for tnem, and the news that Uncle Sam sould be received as an item of supreme interest. | men never sailed under the stars and | stripes. | From Mission Bay the Oregon went to | Sausalito, and from there she wil! go to S8an Diego. At the latter point final in- structions will be received, and then the “*pride of the American battle-ships'’ will make her way slowly to Acapuico. She is foul from having been long in Nevertheless she wiil be a great help 1o Americans and _civilization generally | should a war break out among the Cen- | tral American republics. Tke present con- solidation of three of these States is bouna to lead to trouble, and at any time the Ezeta element may crop up in San Salvador. In any event the Central American republics are not living together in peace and harmony, and Uncle Sam evidently | estin tbe squabble. Hence the hurried | yisit of the vattle-ship Oregon to Central | American waters. | For the first time in the history of the Merchants' drydock two iron vessels, full | rigged, were on the ways. One wus the Diamond Head aind the other the Port Logan. The former was named after the point on the Island of Oahu, on which she went ashore, and will take her first cargo of lumber to Honolulu, thus passing her namesake (probably without shaking bands) before again reaching Honolulu. The Dimmond Head was bought as a wreck for $500, and, after she was got off | and safely anchored inside the coral reef, her cargo of coal was sold for $9 a ton. | The Port Logan came in ballast from | Cape Town, and will go from here to the | Sound in baliast, and from thence to Cape Town agaiu. Just what will be done with h-f when she reaches that point remains to be seen. The schooner Equator, which was lying up the river at Antioch, has been brought down and will be changed into a steam schooner by her owners, R. D. Hume & Co., the salmon firm. She will get en- gines and boilers at the Fulton Iron Works. The Equator will go to the Alaska coast, commonly but erroneously believed to be a below-zero country, and will be used there as a tender at the can- neries. The steam schooner Whitesboro is about to make ber longest voyage. She will go from here to Greenwood and there take on a cargo of railroad ties for San Pedro. It there is any significance in ties it may mean that the ‘‘opposition harbor” is going to win over 8anta Monica. The barkentine Katie Flickinger has ar- rived at Port Townsend, twenty-five days from Kobe. This is close to steamship time and is one of the quickest trips on record. The British ship Brablock has arrived at ueenstown, 125 days from S8an Francisco. he ship Beechbank and the Brablock sailed from tbis port for the United King- dom on the same day and made a race of the voyage. The Brablock went ashore near Liverpool, but got off uninjured, and, continuing her voyage, beat ont the Beech- bank, which made London in 126 days. The name of the man who was knocked overboard from the sealing schooner Luisa D, Captain Sam Burtls, last Friday morning while sailing down the coast is P. E. Peterson. The schooner is stilljout- side, She ran into heavy weather, the as at war with a neighboring country | | Tne crew of the Oregon embraces almost | | every nationality, but a more loyal set of | on Bay and cannot make quick time. | thinks he should take a neighborly inter- | ship lurched, the main boom struck Pe- terson and knocked him evidently sense- less into the sea. In three minutes four boats were lowered, but the unfortunate man could not be sighted. Peterson was a favorite aboard and one of the most expert seal-hunters on the coast. All that is known about his ante- cedents is that he came from Wisconsin, in which State his father, mother and two sisters are living. | Captain Davidson of the British ship | Anaurus, which is lying at Fremont | street, is very ill with malaria. He is be- | ing attended by his wife and a trained nurse. It has been found that the bark Fresno, which arrived here badly damaged and is docked at Main street, will need a new { rudder, a new rudder-post and extensive repairs. IMPURE FOOD AND MILK. Inspector Dockery Will Arrest Many Lealers in Adulterated Goods. Milk Inspector Dockery is not letting the grass grow under his feet in his cru- | sade agsinst impure-food and impure- | milk deslers. All day yesterday he was | burrying around town from one dealer to | another in quest of adulterated articles. | From nearly every store he took samples, | which he submitted to Chemist Wenzel, wlho is acting for the Board of Health. | The board is determined to prosecute to | the fuli ex in possession of impure milk or food | offered tor sale. | “In his rounds yesterday Mr. Dockery | gathered sixty-one samples of food and | eighty samples of milk, which he has | mitted to Chemist Wenzel for che: | analysis. | Yesterday Mr. Dockery swore outa large | number of warrants for the arrest of peo- | pre who he says were selling adulterated | milk and selling milk without having first procured the necessary permits. Thes | will be arrested at once, and from all ap- | pearances the Police Court calendars will be clogged with impure-milk cases for some time to come. | for seliing adulterated milk are the fol- | lowing: b al H.

First Competition for a Gold Medal Pre- | sented by Captain Siebe. Captain L. Siebe, proprietor of Shell Mound Park, made a proposition some days ago to Captain Wittman to provide a gold medal to be competed for by the men in his division ana Monday he em- bodied his offer in a letter addressed to the | captain. The medal is to be competed for each month, making twelve competitions for the years. The men to fire with a rifle, distance 200 yards, ten shots each. The one making the highest score | at each competition to wear the | medal for the succeeding month and to re- turn it to the commander of the squad one day prior to the next competition, the medal to become the property of the one winning it three times in succession, or failing that the one who wins it four times during the twelve competitions. The highest scorer in the twelve competitions to receive & Erize of $5. The men have also agreed to pay intoa fund enough money to purchasea Win- chester rifle for each competition and the highest scorer to win the rifle. If the highest scorer in any competition should have already won a rifle it will go to the next highest. The first competition took place at Shell Mound Park yesterday and Smith Carr made the highest score, He and Sergeant Nash made 45 each, but Carr won accord- ing to Creedmore rules. Following are the scores: Atchison 41, Nash 45, Carr 45, Fleming 40, Wilson 42, Muicuhey 39, Merrick 41, Leonard 28, Cavanagh 37, Hostetter 40, Feuneil 40, e ——.—— No End to the Rush. It seems the great closing-out sale of Armand Cailleau, corner Geary street and Grant avenue, has no end to its great rush. To-duy is the tenth day of the sale and the doors still have to be kept closed and only from time to time can buyers force their way into the store. The sale will last only a few days more. The $25 capes selling at §6, $75 suits selling at $15, $2 wrappers sell- ing at 35¢, and all other goods in propoi- tion, has brought the crowd. * Police Lribuna . The Polite Commissioners met lastanight, and two policemen were up before them. John W. Durkin was charged by Sergeant Christiansen with drinking in a saloon while on duty. It was shown that Durkin had en- tered the saloon to ascertain whether the salnon-keeper had renewed his license, accord- 1ng to instructions, and the Commissioners dismissed the charge, at the same time giving the sergeant some information as to his duties, Policemsn John 8. Hart was fined $50 for neglect of duty. v ent of the law all found to be | Those to be arrested | LIBOR AGENTS FIHT NEW LAWS They Meet and Denounce Commissioner Fitz- gerald’s Plans. A Committee From This Will Do Battie at Sac- ramento. Complaint Is Made That the Free Bureau Lives by Coercing State Officers. pe managers of the various employ- ment agencies and labor bureaus of the City are up in arms against Labor Com- missioner Fitzgerald. About twenty people who nave for years been engaged in the business of furnish- ing employmenti for idle laborers for a small fee met at the office of C. R. Hansen, 110 Geary street, last night and formulated measures to defeat legisiation formulated by Commissioner Fitzgerald. To a proper understanding of the issue vetween Fitzgerald and those who are fighting him it is necessary to bear in mind that the Commissioner conductsa free labor bureau; that he proposes laws giving him the power to establish like bureaus all over the State, and that be has emphatically'placed himseif on record as being engaged in a war to the kmife against all labor bureaus. “In a letter to a prominent State official, Fitzgerald said he intended to extermin- ate us,” said Agent Ready last night, “and we propose to show him up. He has tried to coerce the heads of State institu- tions to favor his bureau, has liea about us and is simply seeking to gain political power by wiping out all opposition.” The agents resolved to send to Sacra- mento 250 printed copies of the protest agnin‘;z the conduct of Commissioner Fitz- erald. s “What we object to most vitally,” si the proprietor of th» Ewer Company, that the new bill gives the Commissioner the power of a czar. Under its provi- sions he may dictate what our advertising isand where we advertise. He may use our bulletin-boards, placing thereon what he desires and tearing off what is distaste- ful to him. It seems to me that this is about the most autocraiic power ever given to anybody 1n this country.” The following are the provisions of the new bill which are most oonoxious to the local agents. They are particularly sore over the mattef because, they say, some of the lahor unions have apparently indorsed the bills Section 5. Itshall be unlawful for any em- loyment agent to insert any advertisement P ay e waoapat 6F i &kis iher manROT ¥ vertise for hielp of any kind unless the said advertising 1s done in pursuance of actual bona-fide orders for help which shall have been received by tne said agent. The Com- missioner of the Department of Labor may at any time investigate said orders in order to satisly nimself of their authenticity. Sec.7. The Commissioner of the Department of Labor shall, during business hours, have Iree access to all offices used by any employ- ment agent, or agents, and snall be permitted to post therein copies of any laws or notices concerning the conduct of the business of the said employiment agent, or agents, or other in- formation concerning labor. The said copies of laws or notices shail be conspicuously posted and shall not be hidden, removed or defaced. «The last section is cunningly worded,”" said C. R. Hansen. *It gives the Com- missioner {ull power to post in our offices, for which we pay rent, ‘any information concerning labor.’ That would give him the right to take away our customers by informing them that he had jobs for them. It is an un-American and unconstitugional law. We have always favored labor bu- reaus, always refused to hire scabs, and vet they brand us ascriminals. We ob- ject to his law because he has sworn he Wwould exterminate us.” J. F. Crossett, who hes been in business here many years, was of the same opinion. He said that the bills projosed by the Commissioner leave absoiutely nothing for the empioyment agents. **He calls the bureau ‘my’ bureau in various leiters to the heads ot State departments, and is simply seeking political power,” said Mr. Crossett, It was decided to send a committee to Sacramento forthwith to fight the bills, which come up before the committee on Monday night. The following sections are particularly obnoxious tothe agents, who say their provisions rob them of all liberty : Section 3. Every employment agent shall, in connection with his business, keep & book or set of books showing the number of applica- tions for emplosment made to said empioy. ment agent, the number of applicants sent by | Labor Commissioner. him to employers, the number of apnlicants 10r whom employment has been secured by said employment agent, the amount of fees and commissionsand the character and value of any other property taken by said employment agent in return for securing employment for appiicants, and the amount of mouey and the character ‘and value of other property re- turned to applicants who have failed to ob- tair employment; and every employmert agent shall, upon the first day of each month, furnish to the Commissioner ot the Bureau of Labor a written statement from said book or set of books plainly setting forth said facts upon a blank form to be furnished by the said Commissioner. Sec. 4. Every firm, association, corporation or person who pursues for profit the business of turnishing iuformation to any applicant or applicants for employment for the purpose of enabling said applicant or applicants to ob- tain employment, or who regisiers for any fee, churge or commission thie name of any appli- cant or applicants for employment for the pur- pose of securing employiment for said appli- cant or appiicants, is an employment agent within the meaning of this ect. Mr. Ready will probably be the chiel member of the committee to fight the He will go to Sac- ramento Sunday night. The agents will have another meeting to-night, at which they will discuss various phases of the proposed laws and make plans to defeat them. MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES Several Performances Aro Near the End of Their Run—Next Week’s Attractions. “The Old Homestead’ is in its last days at the Columbia Theater. On Monday evening the first Nordica concert will take place, when the third act of Gounad’s “Faust” will be the piece de resistance. Joseph Murphy is continuing his per- formances in “Kerry Gow” at the Col- umbia without showing any sigus of recent indisposition. The Murphy season will end with this week, and on Monday “The Devil's Auction’ will take the stage. Hugo Toland rewurned to the cast of “Chispa’’ at the Alcazar last night, as he had recovered sufficiently from his attack of laryngitis to sct, though he was still suffering from hoarseness. George Os- borne resumea the role of Injun Jack, with which he is so thoroughly identified. Walter Belasco, who vlayed the Indian on Tuesday, in the shuffle of roles occasioned by Toland’s sudden indisposition, confined himself last night to his part of the emi- grant, in the prologue. Clever work is done in_the prologue of ‘“‘Chispa’” by Miss Sue Blanchard, a local debutante, who has played one or two very little parts at the Alcazar, but who is doing her first work of _any importance as Mary Monroe. Miss Blanchard acts her trying death scene very realistically. “The Land of the Midnight Sun” is a spectacular melodrama of the thrilling type which always gives satisfaction to patrons of the Grand. The caste is large and on the whole asatisfactory one. John J. Pierson, who reappears this week, after an absence of some years, plays his orig~ inal character of Stephen Orry, and looks very picturesque, though his acting would be improved if he did not _appear to be so thoroughly impressed with the conscious- ness of his own picturesqueness. Fred Butler is good as Governor Jorgenson, and ¥rank Hatch is giving a careful and lifelike study of the old sea-dog, Captain Follyweather. The second edition of ‘‘Jack and the Peanstalk” is doing all that was expected of it, in the way of drawing good houses. Most of the new songs have taken well, and Ferris Hartman’s aerial baliet act is the hit of the performance, The Hungarian Orchestra is gaining in popularity at tbe Orpheum, and the Swed- 1sh ventriloguist gives one of the most popular acts seen at the house for some time. —————————— DIREOTORS WERE ELECTED. Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in Session. The California Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children was in session yesterday afternoon and elected officers, as follows: Vice-Presidents—A. B. Mc- Creary, Lloyd Tevis, James B. Haegin, Alvinza Hayward, D. O. Miulls, Oliver El- dridge, William F. Whittier, P. B, Corn- wall, Henry L. Dodge, F. A. Hihn, George C. Perkins, John P.

Other officers, inciuding secretary, will probably be electea at a meeting ot the directors to be held February 2. A report was sutmitted, showing that last year 1790 children were involved in cases brought before the society; that 243 persons were convicted of cruelty; that 467 children received relief, 399 placed in institutions, 29 in families and 46 returned to parents or guardians. The society has nearly 200 wards in families and institu. tions, the majority being in families.

Drunkenness decrene.;nulrl-y 3 per cent per annum in London, Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. Confirmed by the Board of Education Last Evening, Superintendent Babcock Named Dr. Mary Morrison as His First Choice. Teachers Will Bs Paid the Amount of November Saary That Was Withheid by the Old Board. The Board of Education apvoointed Dr. Ragan as successor to School Director Halstead last evening. Mr. Halstead was buried yesterday. Frevious to the reczular session of the board, a meeting of the committee of the whole was held to discuss the matter, and a number of names were presented by Superintendent of Schools Babcock, who has the naming of the successor of any member who through death or other rea- son retires from tne board. The Superintendent desired to have a lady on the board, and he first presented the name of Dr. Mary Morrison, who bas long been connected with the department. The members were not ready to accept her into the fold and the Superintendent presented a number of other names which were likewise unsatisfactory. Finally it was intimated to him that the name of Dr. D. F. Ragan, who was chairman of the last Democratic Municipal Convention, would be satisfactory, and when the regu- lar meeting was calied last evening Dr. Ragan’s name was presented and unani- mously indorsed by the board. Dr. Ragan will take his seat at the next meeting. Mrs. V. de Bretteville preferred written charges against Miss M. M. Kenzie, prin- cipal of the Hancock School. She averred that Miss Kenzie had been arbitrary and unjust 1n suspending her son from schooi and in setting a bad examplein losing her temper, by displaying daiscourtesy and rndeness toward parents, and of leck of judgment in inflicting punishment for offenses committed. The matter was referred to the Super- intendent for investigation. Sections 173 and 174 of the rules were amended by the insertion of the follow- ing: Any repairs must be applied for by the prin- cipal by requisition, and 1t shall then be the duty of the 1nspector of buildings to visit the school and report to the chairman of the Com- mittee on Buildings and Grounds on such re- quisition. When the costof such repairs is not over $10 the chairman may, if he deems it advisable, order the work to be done; but if the cost of such repairs be more than $10 and less than $200, bids for the same shall be passed upon by the Committee on Buildings and Grounds and the work awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. The board decided that the schoolteach- ers who were cut half a month’s salary in Novemuer last must be repaid atonce, and on motion of the Superintendent a resolution was adopted aading the short- age to the salary demands for January, so that the full amount may be paid. A res- olution was also adopted to have the Finance Committee apportion a sufficient amount on July and January 1 to pay the NEW TO-DAY. .
