He Can Move His Right Arm and His Slumber Is Quiet and Normal. If He Can Hold Death at Bay for Seventy-two Hours His Physicians Will Feel Encouraged SAN MATEO, CaL, July 13.—“There bas been some slight improvement in Colonel Crocker's condition,” said Dr. Matthew Gardner at 10 o’clock to-nicht, “put itis not wvronounced. No danger- ous symptoms have exhibited themselves and his general condition is favorable. While his case is still very serious, if he continues to hold his own as b2 has for the next forty-eight or seventy-two hours we will be more encouraged than we have yet been. “The colonel has held his own very well to-day, and especially this evening. He takes his food well and rests well. Of course, in this form of trouble we cannot foretell the ourcome. While the colonel’s condition is not hopeless by any means, it is still very serious.” Dr. Gardner’s statement was made at the conclusion of the attending physi- cians. Dr. Whitwetl, who was preseut during the early part of the consultation, had to leave eariier than usual, and soon after he left Dr. MacMonagle arrived and remained with Drs. Gardoer and Chis- more for an hour or more. “Dr. Chismore is especially hopeful to- night,”” said William H. Crocker late this evening, ‘“and he expresses himself as very much pleased with the colonel’s progress during the day.” At 8 o’clock this morning the physi- cians held their regular consultation, and their reports encouraged the members quite considerably. The colonel bad passed a comparatively easy night and his condi- tion this morning was such that Dr. Gardner thougit he could safeiv leave the patient for several hours. atter noon for fan Francisco and did not return to San Mateo until 5:20 o’clock this evening. This was the first time Dr. Gardner had leit the colonel since he wa nrst stricken, and this was regarded as a very reassuring indication that no imme- diate danger was apprehended. Drs, C more and MscMonaglealso went to the City this morning, and the oniy physician in attendance was Dr. Whitwell, who called shortiy after noon and remained av Up- lands untii about 6 o’clock this evening. For nearly three hours—from half-past 12 till 2 o’clock—the colonel was left alone without any phys cian in attendance upon him—something that haa not bsen done since he was stricken last Friday evening. W the 5 train this evening Dr. Chismore, Secretary Green and William H. Crocker. The latter remained several hours at the colonel’s residence, and before going to his Burlingame residence he stated that the colonel’s condition showed improve- ment. He wentinte the sick chamber to his brother, but the colonel was asleep at the ime and he did not disturb nim. Will Crocker stated that the im- provement in the colonel’scondition man- ifested itself in several w *‘He is able to move hix right arm,” he said, “and occasionally he lifts nis right nand to his forehead when the pain in | his head troubles him. His slumber is also peacefal and normal. His digestion is good, and it is no longer necessary to pepsinize the milk which constitutes his diet. He also answers quesilons more readily, and occasionally speaks of his own accord.” In answer tc a question as to what he thought the colonel’s chances of recovery were, he replied tnat he had not allowed himself to believe that his brother wouid not recover. In reference to t.e pain which the Colonel experienced, he said that it was the result of the paralysis which was entirely distinci from the kid- ney or other troubles. “The pain,” he declared, ‘‘is due to the cause which produces the the paralysis, whatever that cause is, whether it is a ciotted blood ves-el or effu<ions.” Dr. Gardner has been considerably | bothered within the past ew days with | requests for _writlen bulie'ins of the colonel’s condition. Last night, however, he refused absolutely to issue any bulle- tin over his own signature, although he readily consented to give the reporters in- formation by interview. Much interest is manifested in Colonel Crocker’s condition by the people of San Mateo and vicinity. Late this evening Colonel resiing quielly. His attendants and the members of the nousehold are taking every precaution to have him disturbed just as llittle as jpossible, and when it is necessary to speak to him only such ques- tions are asked as can be answered by simple assent or dissent. The physicians and nurses be ieve that absolute rest and freedom from excitement of any kind are essential, and everything possible is being done to effect this end Crocker was DISIHHB]VH'I:ED' HIS DAUGHTER.

The Board of Regents Decide Many Questions of Impor- tance Yesterday. Conductors Appointed for University Ixtension Lectures Among the Farmers. The Regents of the Universty of Cslifor- nia held a meeting in the Hopkins Insti- tute of Art building yesterday afternoon with Judge Wallace in the chair. The matter of awarding the Levi Strauss and State scholarships was brought up and aroused cons:derable discussion. Ac- cording to the reguiations of the board the scholarships are to be equally divided among the Congressional districts, eight 10 each district. When the report of the academic senate was read it showed that in the Thir: District seven of the eight were awarded to residenis of Alameda County, leaving the other counties in that district almost without representation. Regent Foote opposed the adoption of this report, contending that it was unfair to the residents of the other counties and contrary to the regulztions of the board. Regent Halladie favored the adoption of the report on the ground that, as selec- tions were made according to the ef- ficiency of the candidates, as evinced ata competitive examination, there could be no more favoritism shown to one county than another. He accordingly moved that, under suspension of rules, the re- port be adopted, which was done. A resolution to appoint Douglass T. Fowler at a salary of $1200 a year and Pro- |-tessor A. J. Cook at a salary ot $500 a vear | conductors oi the Farmers’ Institute Uni- versity extension course also created con- | siderable discussion, it being contended | that this work was well done last year by | the regular professors in Berkeley at an approximate cost of $50 per meeting; that applications had saiready been made for | sixty meetings in various parts of the State, and that there was nothing in the resolution compelling these men, if ap- pointed, to hold any more meetings than | suited their own convenience. | Anamendment was offered to the effect that at teast seventy me tings be held at an average cost of $50 per meeting, and | the resoiution as amended was adopted. | Resolutions were unanimously adopted thanking C. P. Hunungton for the mu- nificent donation of the Cowan library nd extending him the privileges of the University library, aiso to T. P. Avery of New York for heipful ecorrespondence and donations of books in the past and his _more recent services in negotiating the purchase of the Cowan collection.

ANOTHER RECGNOILIATION, | Russell Ward’s Wife Now Said to Be in Humor to Forgive Now that Mr. and Mrs. John Bradbury of Los Angeles are reconciled, after the wife’s recen: sensational escapade, it is but fitting that W. Russell Ward, the man who eloped with the southern million- aire’'s wife, should “make up” with bis wife and thus permit all to be well that ends well, Matters seem to be pointing that way. Mrs. Bradbury has gone East to join ber husband, and on top of this comes the story that Mrs. Ward has sent money to her erring bu-band for the purpose of not only helping him out of his trouble, but to bring bim over to England, where he can join ber and be kept out of mischief as well. Ne ther Ward’s attorney nor his friends | will vouch for the truth of this report, | giving as an explanation that they know i nothing about Ward’s affairs, Neverthe- less. it 1s said in some more or less authen- | tic quarters to be true. | A movement is now on foot to have Dis- trict Attorney Barnes call up Ward’s case in the Superior Court within a few days and ask for a dismiseal, on the ground that the principal witness for the prose- cution, nzmely, Mrs. Bradbury, is out of the cenvenient reach of the court. While { Mr. Barnes has not as yet consented to do this, still he has the matter under con- sideration, and it is understood that he is favorably inclined toward the idea, espe- cially since it has developed that Ward and his wife are likely to be reconciled. Tue CALy received the following dispatch last night from New York apropos to the Bradbury-Ward affair: John Bradbury, who has been stopping for city thisafternoon, « ccompamied by his son Louis. While Bradbury refused to reveal his destination, it is snid thut he is goiug to Chi- ca o to meet his wife and affect a reconcili- ation, having airanged ihe preliminaries by letter and telegraph. Bradbury’s iriends say he is willing to forgive his wife's escapade. After the reconciliation the couple will take a European trip. Dispatches from New York say that Bradbury has not left this country, and furtuer that he has not and will not take his wife back. The World says: “Colonel Bradbury said most positively that he had taken no stepslooking toward a reconciliation with his wife, and that he « d not intend to forgive her and take her | back to his home, but that he was sick of the whole scandalous matter and intended to sail for Europe in a few days and try to forget it.” Al G S B Wire-Coiilng Litigation, Thomas 8.

A Number of Interesting Papers Read at the Three Meetings Yesterday. The Congress Will Visit Mount Tam- alpais as Guests of the Recep- tion Committee. The Pacific Coast Dental Congress con- vened yesterday in the lecture room of the University of California College of Den- tistry, and will continue in session until Friday. There are in attendance at the meeting about 200 dentists from the coast and a number from the East. The congress had its origin in 1894 at the Midwinter Fair Dental Congress. At that time a committee was appointed to form an organization, cioose officers and arrange for a convention. The meet- ings which began yesterday are the out- come of the arduous labors of the com- mittee, and the members are well satisfiea with the result, The chairman of the committee, Dr. C. L. Goddard, called the meeting to order yesterday morning, and in a brief ad- dress gave a history of the organization of the congress and named the officers. President, Dr. 8. J. Barber, Portland, Or.; vice-president, J. M. Whitney, Honolulu, H. IL; secretary-general, K. W. Meek, Oakland, Cal. Dr. 8. J. Barber of Portland was then introduced as president of the congress, and read his address, which was recetved with enthusiasm by the members. At the conclusion of his address he named as honorary vice-presidents: Drs. H. T. Met- calt, Sacramento; R. H. Cool, San Fran- cisco; Cecil Corwin, Oakland; H. D. Noble, San_Francis G. H. Chance, Portland; G. ichards, J. A. W. Lundborg, San Francisco, N. A. Cox, Portland, and W. H. Cavell, Carson, Nev. An original poem, written for the occa- sion, was read bv the author, Dr. George H. Chance of Portland. An invitation from the reception committee to visit Mount Tamalpais on Friday was accepted by the convention. After the election of Dr. William J. Younger of Chicago as delegate from the congress to the dental section of the medi- cal meeting at Moscow in August, the congress adjourned till 2 o’clock in the afternoon. The afternoon session was entirely taken up by the reading of papers and their dis- cussion. The papers were: ‘Implanta- tion,” by Russell H. Coot of San Francis- co. 'Discussion opened by W. A. Bryant. “Irrigation and Drainage of the Au- trune,” by E. L. Townsend of Los An- geles was read by W. F. Lewis, who opened the discuss'on. *‘Cause« and Symptoms of Autral Dis- ease, with History of Casesin Point,” by H. P. Carlton, San Francisco. Discussion opened by N. R. Cox. ‘“Arresiing Decav in the Teeth,” by W. J. Prather, Fresno. D scussion opened by W. A. Cumming, Portland. President Barber called the congress to order at 8:20 for the evaning session and introduced Dr. W. A. Bryant of San Fran- cisco, who presented the first paper, His subject was “Clait Palate,” “Pain'ess Dentistry’’ was the paperread by Dr. Clyde Payne. Dr. Warren De Crow of San Jose read a witty poem entitled *‘Dental Damnables.” Dr. Chance denounced the advertising quack in stror.g terms and announced his intention of witharawing from the con- gress if two of these who were aitending tne meetings were allowed to remain. Dr. Chance’s remarks were quite forcible and were called forth by the fact that two ad- vertising dentists had made application for membership in the congress and wers re- fused admittance, but were allowed to at- tend the sessions. Clinical operations form the programme for this morning and there will be a num- ber of interesting lectures. This after- noon and evening the sessions will con- sist of the reading of papers, of which there will be eight.

The com- plaint was sworn to by Mrs. Nettie B. Harrison, a cosmetic expert. She alleged that Knox had collected a bill for her amounting to $8, and that he appropri- ated the money to his own use. After hisarrest and release on bail Knox made a statement, which, if true, places the matter in a different light and shows that he nas been injured. It was to the effect that after the ‘money was collected it was garnisheed in his hands at the suit of Mrs. Harrison’s cook, and that he was i therefore restrained by an order oy court | from paying it over to the lady. He said, also, that he had iaformed Mrs. Harrison of the order of courr, but that nevertheless she had him arrested ————— ALFRED CLARKE DEFEATED.

A Resolution Will Be Presented to the Supervisors to That Effect. Citizens Are Indignant Over the Tardy Work—Lively Meeting of the Committee. The session of the Buildings Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday morning bore a close resemblance to a public indignation meeting. The North Ead Improvement Club was represented by a number of prominent but very angry citizens, who wanted to know why the work on the Kearny-sireet Hall of Justice was at a standstill now and had been praciically at a standstill so many months. Ex-Supervisor John Shirley first put the question and then proceeded to roast the contractors, Baleman Bros.,, and all who might be responsible for the tardy and uncertain manner in which the work was being done, or not being done. Ex-Supervisor W. H. B.dfish followed upon Mr. Shirley in the same tone of | voice, somewhat emphasized. He referred to the firm of contractors who have charge of the work as a most responsible concern and then proceeded to express amaze- ment that such a concern should dawdle and trifle with a public undertaking cf this character in the manner they were doing. Ex-Supervisor Daniel Rogers made a talk along the same line, demanding in behalf of the taxpayers of the City, and especially ot those residing or interested in the North End, an energetic and effi- cient prosecution of the work. ‘The committee had called upon Archi- tect Shea for an explanation of the cause of delay, snd he was present with a long type-written report, in which he threw the entire blame upon the contractors. He admitted in the statement that, although the contract had been let many months ago, the work was practically at the point of beginning. He declared that an energetic conduct of the work, a prompt letting of sub-contracts should huve found the building at this time on the level of the seccnd story, whereas it is still on the line of the foundation. A long time must elapse after the letting of the sub-contracts before the work of building can begin, inasmuch as the materialy has to be manufactured after that time. Finally he declared that while it was in the province of the architects to pass upon ti e work as done they had nothing to do with pushing or ordering the work done. With this view the committee did not agree. On the conirary, the members de- clared that tne responsibllity for the unnecessary and uncalled-for delays rests entirely with the archi- tects accoraing to the stipulations con- tained in the specification . The archi- tects, they held, were ‘‘charged with the duty of having the work progress so that the contract can be executed as provided in the specifications.” The committee directed that a resolu- tion be prepared to be passed by the board airectly setting this forth, ‘‘in order that no question of the kind shall arise in the future or be alleged as a reason for delay in the prosecution of the work.”” J. C. Bateman of Bateman Bros., the contractors, made a statementin behalf of the firm. He reminded the committee that the firm bad taken the contract at a figure $25,000 lower than that set by the archi- tects as their estimate at which the build- ing could be constructed. He said that they had been retarded by work on the contignous buildings; that the firm had taken measures to prosecute the work in their own way, economically and well, and that within a few days it would be made to appear that they were justified in so doing. They proposed to work, he said, at night by means of electric lights. Samuel L. Sachs’ Estate. Sanford Sachs has epplied for letters testa- mentary on the estate of Sumuel L.

The big, hearty, healthy man is a contins wal irritation to his dyspeptic friend. One man in a hundred is perfectly healthy. The other g9 have some digestive trouble, and perhaps more than 50 per cent. of these could trace their trouble to that most prevalent evil—constipation.

Constipation is the root of nine-tenths of the sickness of men, and of a large propor- tion of the sickness of women. It can be cured. It can be cured easily, naturally and quick There is no reason save that of carelessness why it should cause the trouble that it does.” Nature is continually ‘working as hard as she can to throw off im- purities, and to force out poisonous refuse matter. Nature is not a dray-horse and should not be overworked. Nature is sys- tematic. Some little thing may interfere with the system, and cause serious derange- ment.
