OAKLAND, Dec. —Postmaster White notified The Call office to-day that there was a large number of papers of the New Era ion had not been sent through, because of lack of postage. An investigation showed that all papers with 6 cents stamps had been promptly forwarded, and that those rem cents worth of ining only had 2 and 3 tamps on them. The Call published the fact that 6 cents is necessary to carry the New Era edi- tion all over this country, Mexico and Canada, but rather than have any disappointment for thc who expect the paper, a clerk Wwas sent to the postoffice from The Call and every paper was properly stamped. The New Era edition is still on sale for cents at the Oakland office, 908 Broadway. PROPERTY-OWNERS OBJECT. Want the Hall of Justice Finished by the First of July.

The society of Old Friends held its last meeting and jinks for the vear of 1897 last night in the society hall, 14 Third street.. The members turned out in force and am evening of song and story and recitation was provided by | and for all. | Dr. F. F. Lord presided and J. W. | Howell was master of ceremonies. | | The evening’s programme opened with a song by the Old Friends’ | quartet, composed of B. B. Roberts, J. E. Slinkey, Dr. J. S. Knowlton and J. W. Howell, then followed some re- marks by the chairman, Dr. Lord, a | song by Abbott Z. Zwicker, a recita- tion by Thomas Pothren, a speech by Judge Campbell, more songs by J. E. Slinkey, C. H.

Croudace and Major Ed Lewis, and then followed more songs, more re- marks and more recitations. It was late before the last song was sung, the last word said and the last gl drained as only the real ‘“old friend” can drain it. As it was the last mecting of the year the evening | was particularly long and the pro- gramme particularly eiaborate, and the affair was voted one of the mast pleasant the organization has yet had. | | CREDENTLALS Much Consternation Among Hotel Men Over Judge Day’s Recent Decision. Careful Inquiry Will Be Made as to the Standing of Those Who Seek Shelter at the Inns. T35 | The recent decision of Judge Day of | Santa Barbara declaring that the inn- | keepers’ law, passed by the Legislature several s ons ago, is invaiid, has caused considerable consternation among the hotel men of this city. For 1 years past the hotel men of the State have felt secure with the knowl- edge that it lay within their power to send a “beat” to jail when the latter made an attempt to swindle them out | of their just deserts. Now they are at sea, for they know, or believe they know, that there is no redress when | the man of elegant tastes and no | money fastens himself upén the luck- | less hotel-keeper. Since the law went into effect there have been dozens of these fellows found guilty and sent to jail. Now the jail door will open no more to welcome them. Years ago, so the story goes, a cer- tain hotel in Saratoga made its un- known patrons show their credentials; SO0 as to insure the proprietor against housing undesirable persons; and this is about what some of the hotel men of this city will have to do so as to be protected against being victimized by those who never pay their bills for board and lodging. If upon another test of the law being made it is found that the law is really of no avail, then the next move of the hotel men will be to protect themselves the best they can until the next Legislature meets, and, then they will. move heaven and earth to have a law passed that will be protection. In discussing the situation J. 8. Young of the Russ House said that | people in his line of business will have | to be a little more ocareful until a new | law can be passed. He complained bit- \ terly of the “hotel beat” and said that he had been obliged to prosecute many | of this class. | H. W. Lake of the Baldwin Hotel | was very much surprised when he heard that the law is unconstitutional, | and said that he would consult with his attorney soon to see if the decision | of Judge Day applies to the business | of this city. | | night to arrest ten men and three wo- | have been known to the public as the G.

In the meantime hotel-keepers are un- protected and must be lant.” hn H. Downing, head clerk of the “alifornia Hotel, said: “It is strange | that no one has discovered that the | innkeepers’ law is invalid before. I | know there have been a great many convictions under it, especially in cases at the country hotels.” SRR IO i, SWINDLED THOUSANDS OF GULLIBLE INVESTORS. Ten Men and Three Wemen Who Have De- frauded Their Dupes Out of Nearly $7,000,000. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—A morning paper says: The Detective Bureau at police headquarters was asked last doubly vigi- | | | | | men for whom warrants would be sworn out to-day charging grand lar- | ceny and conspiracy to defraud. They | E. S. Dean Company. Under the shadow of Wall street and the New | York Stock Exchange and sight of the metropolitan police and United | States secret service agents they have | robbed 13,000 people throughout the country of nearly $7,000,000. For six years they have been swind- ling together. Money was sought “for investment” through seductive offers of 400 per cent per annum and divi- dends were promised every two weeks. In addition to criminal proceedings against the principal swindlers civil suits will be commenced against brok- | ers who have had dealings with the Dean Company, to obtain an account- ing and recover from them thousands of dollars paid by swindlers on ficti- tious transactions and dealings which constitute frauds which were the out- come of the conspiracy. ek Tl Hundreds of cabinet and Paris panel frames at Sanborn & Vail’s.

His Statement to the Board of Health Settles All Doubt. | HAWKINS’ LIFE SACRIFICE | The Brave Nurse Might Have Been Saved Had Proper Precautions Been Taken. Edgar Miller, who died at the City and County Hospital some time ago, presumably of typhus fever, did not succumb to the dread scourge accord- | ing to Bacteriologist Spencer of the | Board of Health. Ever since his de- mise, followed by that of William Hawkins, the nurse who bravely vol- unteered to nurse the stricken man when it was deemed sure that he was a sufferer from the most deadly of dis- eases, the board has been investigat- ing the matter with two objects in view, one to ascertain whether the case was really one typhus, and the second to determine just how much danger of an epidemic of typhus ex- sts. Dr. Spencer was instructed to make the most careful examination of the organs of Miller’s body and the results of .his investigations were embodied in a report rendered to the Board of Health yesterday. He examined the brain, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kid- neys, stomach and other organs, and in no case found the conditions that are certain to exist in a case of ty- phus. The result of the microscopical examination made by Dr. Spencer he stated as follows: Spleen showed presence of countless organisms, scattered and grouped, re- sembling morphologically the typhold bacillus of Eberth. Similar find in kid- neys. Kidney seat of acute hae- morrhagic nephritis. Liver fatty. Heart-muscle fiber shows cloudy swel ling and granulation.

Basing my diag- no. on the degree of ulceration the intestines on the presence of the bacilli in the various organs, and on the positive reaction of the blood to the Widal-Pfeiffer reaction, I consider ¢ to have been one of typhold The most extraordinary precautions were taken the Board of Health and the hospital authorities in the cases of Miller and Hawkins. When a number of well-known physicians had given their opinion, based upon examinations, that the former had died of typhus, Hawkins was isolated in a cold and cheerless tent in the hospital grounds and two young student nurses, Misses MacLean and O’Reilley, detailed to care for him. From the result of the investigations of Dr. Spencer it would appear prob- able, if not certain, that Hawkins also died from typhoid fever and not from typhus. Had a proper diagnosis of Hawkins’ case. been made and warm comfortable quarters afforded him it is possible that he might have recovered from the attack that de- stroyed his life. BANQUETING ELKS. iant Gathering in Honor of Grand Exalted Ruler Det- weiler. The banquet given by San Francisco Lodge No. 3, B. P. O. E,, to Grand Ex- alted Ruler Mead: D. Detweiler at the California Hotel last evening was one of the most brilliant affairs ever given under the auspices of the Elks in this city. The laxge banquet hall was beau- tifully decorated for the occasion and at 7 o'clock the eighty-six members and their guests entered the room and seated themselves at the tables. Governor Budd and Adujutant-Gen- eral Barrett were included in the list of guests, and both gentlemen were called upon for addresses during the evening, as were also Dr. Gassaway of New Orleans, George E. de Golia of Oakland and Judge Pierce of San Diego. The speech of the evening, however, was that delivered by Grand Exalted Ruler Detweiler, who in the course of his remarks paid a high compliment to the local lodge, saying it was without an equal in the United States in re- gard to the personnel of its members. It was not until an early hour this morning that the banqueters deserted their dining-hall. The following mem- bers and invited guests were present: Members of San Francisco Lodge No. 3—C. B.

Ryan, Despondent, Shoots Himself Through the Brain. John J. Ryan, a clerk for Dr. Marc Levingston at the latter's office, 215 Kearny street, was found dead in bed at half-past 1 o'clock yesterday after- noon with a bullet wound over his left ear and a revolver by his side. The discovery was made by Dr. Na- than, who is attending to Dr. Leving- ston’s practice during the latter’s iil- ness. He wished to get something from the office and found the door locked. He got Mrs. Tobin, the land- lady, to open the window, and Ryan’s dead body was seen on the bed. Ryan was about 50 years of age, and several years ago was a deputy County Clerk under William T. Ses- non. For the past three years he had been a victim of drink, and during that time has been boarded, lodged and clothed by Dr. Levingston. Ryan slept in a room off the office, and ‘for some time past he had been very de- | spondent. —_—— THE END OF A PIONEER. Charles Pace Died at His Home on Sunday Last. Last Sunday one of the oddest char- acters known to San Francisco passed away. Charles Pace, a man of eccentric habits and peculiar dress, died at his home on the morning of the Sabbath. For years he had been one of the di- rectors of the Sailors’ Union, and it was only on account of ill health that he resigned. He had a host of friends, and ali of them declared him one of the most courteous, refined and gentle- manly of men. He came to this country in the days of 49, during which time he followed the profession of instrument-maker, but at the time of his decease had ac- cumulated a large sum of money, and his days were ended enjoying that which he had sought so long to earn. He leaves a stepson, A. Grimwood, who, it is thought, will inherit his for- tune. Acting according to the wishes of the deceased there were no pallbearers at the funera READY FOR £ SETTLEMENT | Miss Zwald Will Make Good Any Shortage in Her Accounts. Macondray & Co. Will Overlook the Offenses of Their Pretty and Lively Cashier. Miss Jennie Zwald, the lively cash- ier who until a few days ago was an employe of Macondray & Co., will be leniently dealt with by her Ilate employers. It was not known last night how much, if any, shortage there was in her accounts, and the members of the firm do not feel and apprehension on account of it. They say it will be small, if it is anything. and they do not stand to lose much. Miss Zwald says she is prepared to make good any shortage there may be in her accounts. She came over to the city yesterday morning prepared to re- imburse her employers for any of her alleged peculations, but the experts at work on the books had not finished their labors, and the amount of supposed defalcation was not known. It is thought, however, by some of the eonfidential clerks in the employ of the firm that the amount missing will not be over $600, and it may be only a trifle. Miss Zwald says if there is anything wrong it is only a clerical error, and that mistakes cannot be avoided. She says if there Is anything missing it will only be for a small amount and that it will not be as the result of a peculation but of a cleri- cal error. - - FREIGHT RATES RAISED. Southern Pacific to Charge More for Certain Eastbound Commodities. With the new year the Southern Pa- cific will advance its eastbound freight rates on certain well-known products from 25 to 50 per cent, or from 15 to 25 cents a hundred pounds. This new regulation, announced yesterday, will g0 into effect on January 10. The following commodities, formerly for some time carried at the rate of 50 and 60 cents a hundredweight in car- load lots, are to be advanced to 75 cents a hundredweight: Beans (for- merly 50 cents), borax (formerly 50 cents), canned goods (formerly 60 cents), glue (formerly 60 cents), infu- sorial earth (formerly 60 cents), wine in barrel, quicksilver, rice, tallow, bar- ley, wheat, boneblack and mustard seed. The price on practically all these commodities was advanced to the present figures less than four months ago. At that time the freight department officials declared that it was not forcing all the traffic would bear because of the great advance in the price of California wheat, but was simply following an old custom of coming up to the times and not re- maining at hard-time rates after hard times had passed. Other commodities advanced in hun- dredweight rates on carload lots are: Brandy in barrel, 85 cents (fornfbrly 60 cents), bitters in glass, $1 (formerly 75 cents), wine in glass, $1 (formerly 50 cents). These advanced rates apply to such freight sent Bast to New Orleans and to New York by way of the Sunset Route and by way of Galveston and the Mallory e Sy Mark Hopkins Institute of Art.

HAVE WITHSTOOD THE COLD SPELL The Plants and Shrubs in the Park Have Thus Far Es- caped Damage. Superintendent McLaren Says, How- ever, That Another Week of Frost ‘Would Work Injury. The heavy frosts of the past few days have not thus far worked any unusual damage to the plants and shrubs in Golden Gate Park. It was at first feared that many of the flow- ers had been killed, but after a care- ful inspection of the city’s great health and pleasure resort, Superin- tendent McLaren reported yesterday that he had been unable to find that any serious damage had been done. The tender plants are, in a great measure, protected by the larger trees that are able to withstand the icy breast of the Frost King from the North. The walks and drives in the exposed spots are covered with frost in the mornings, and in many places it looks as if there had been a light fall of snow. Some of these spots are not touched by the sun’'s rays during the daytime, and the frost is becoming thicker and deeper. “I am happy to say that there has not been any damage wrought by the cold spell,” said Superintendent Mec- Laren yesterday afternoon. “Of course a number of shrubs and flowering plants with tender leaves have been blighted, but that oeccurs every year. Take the heliotropes, for instance. The least bit of frost withers the leaves and sprays, but unless there is an exceedingly long spell of cold weather the roots are not harmed, and with the first breath of spring the plants blos- som out again. If the cold spell lasts another week,” added the Superinten- dent, “there may be some damage, but I am in hopes that we will soon have rain.” The Superintendent has a thermom- eter hanging in a parlor opposite his office, and it has thus far registered but two degrees below the freezing point. —_———— THE GOLDEN JUBILEE. Important Committee Meetings -Held Last Evening. In response to an invitation to par- | ticipate in the Golden Jubilee parade, | issued by the parade committee to the | League of the Cross Cadets, a reply | has been received signifying the inten- tention of the entire command of ca- dets to take part. This body, which will inciide the band and hospital corps, will be composed of 800 men in uniform. It is desired in addition to the troops from the Presidio and the Na- tional Guard located in this city, to secure the attendance of all the mili- tary bodies possible throughout the | State. To that end General R. H. ‘Warfield has informed the parade | committee that as soon as Governor Budd has issued his proclamation, de- claring January 24 a legal holiday, he will give orders that the military com- | panies throughout the State attached to the Second Brigade of the National | Guard of California shall participate | in_the Jubilee parade. John H. Jewett and H. §. Martin of | the Jubilee Transportation Committee have received a communication fram T. H. Goodman, general passenger | agent of the Southern Pacific Com- pany, in regard to the rates for trans- portation during Jubilee week. The company will issue2 special Jubilee tickets from all points in California to San Francisco and return on the fol- lowing basis: These special rates to San Francisco and return will be based on the existing first-class lim- ited single-trip rates, as follows: From stations located within 125 miles from San Francisco, one and | one-third fare. | From stations between 125 and 200 | miles from San Francisco, one and | one-fifth fare. From all stations located outside of the 200-mile limit, there will be one fare for the round trip. The Golden Jubilee finance commit- tee met last evening at Jubilee head- quarters in the Palace Hotel. 8. K. Thornton reported that the Butchers’ Board of Trade would make an appro- priation at their next meeting, as well as to make a thorough canvass among the different butchers throughout the city.

El Dorado County wired: *“We will take all the space you can spare and make a big display.” Nevada County asked for 2000 square feet, if possible, and announced arrangements for a fine exhibit. Calaveras County has over $2000 raised, and the sum is still climb- ing. Among the counties that will make exhibits are Tuolumne, Nevada, El Do- rado, Kern, Yuba, Santa Clara, Butte, Amador, Ventura, Calaveras and oth- ers to hear from.
