Promises of assistance to the striking printers are pouring in unasked from all quarters. At the meeting of the Building Trades Council last night it was unani- mously decided that the fullest support of that body be tendered the union, and ble will be given. This proffer assistance comes unasked from the central body of the building trades, Which represents at least S000 men.

Bahrs Elected Grand Master of the Order. Frank S. Poland Succeeds D. S. Hirshberg as Grand Recorder. LADIES OF THE ORDER. The Grand Lodge of the Degree of Honor—Mrs. E. F. Mayon to Be Promoted. The important business transacted at | the thira session of the Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen thanks and promised to do all in his power to advance the order. L. M. Manzer of this city and J. M. Collins of Fresno were nominated for grand foreman and the prize went to Collins. J. Flint was elected grand overseer. The great contest of the day was the election of a grand recorder to suc- ceed D. S. Hirshberg. There were placed in nomination Frank S. Poland of Excelsior Lodge, who for twelve years has been deputy grand master workman; John Hoesch, recording sec- retary of Magnolia Lodge; J. M. Camp, recording secretary of Valley Lodge; J. Carr, and two others who were nominated, but were dropped after the first ballot. There were necessary to a choice 183 votes. On the first ballot Poland re- ceived 135 votes, Hoesch 76, Camp 63, Carr 55, other candidates 25. There being no choice another ballot was ta- ken with the result that Poland re- ceived 184 votes, Hoesch 76, Camp 47 and Carr 46. This gave Poland the of- fice by one more vote than was neces- sary and his election was loudly cheered. Sam Booth was nominated to succeed himself as grand receiver, and he was elected by acclamation. Grand Medical Examiner Mayon was nominated as his own successor, and Dr. W. P. Lawlor was nominated against him. Before the ballot was counted Dr. Lawlor withdrew and on his motion the election of Dr. Mayon was made unanimous. Taylor Rogers, W. H. Jordan and Willilam Vinter were elected supreme representatives, and C. F. Curry, Wil- lJam Haukett and John Hoesch were elected the finance committee. C. S. Curtls was appointed grand irside watchman, J. D. Nield grand out- side watchman and J. Popert grand guide. Mt. Hamilton Lodge of San Jose was presented a silk banner for having ini- tiated the greatest number of candi- dates during the year, Past Supreme Master Workman Jordan making the presentation.

While her deepest interest cen- ters in niusic, she is at the same time keenly alive to all of the pleasures in- cident to happy childhcod. She is an expert performer on the horizantal bars and trapeze, and indulges in all kinds of vigorous exercise tending to the phy- sical development of the body. She is a frolicsome little sprite and as happy as the soaring lark from whose songs she takes inspiration, furnishing her material for the eomposition of some of her sweetest muslic. The desire of her parents to advance her musical training to a degree which would enable her to appear before the public as an artist, and not as a mere infant prodigy, has resulted in the de- velopment of the natural talents with which the little one is endowed. In her brain everything finds musical expression as naturally as other ‘chil- dren embody their ideas in words. Her compositions are quite natural, em- bodying in music the experience which belongs to a strong, sunny young life absolutely free from morbidness of any kind. Besides being able to master the difi- cult compositions of such composers as Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Mendelssohn and Godard, she plays many little compositions of her own, the ldeas which they express being like herself, tender, pure and delicate. There is, however, a great diversity in her {deas, and her handling of ‘‘Heimweh,” concerto, and “Schmetter- ling,” compositions of her own, show unmistakable signs of genius.

Coples of the report and opinion of the Interstate Commerce Commission, on the Topeka and Santa Fe to suspend the long and short haul clause in order to give them a chance to compete with the Can- adian Pacific In the endeavor to secura bound for the Kiondike, have been re- celved by the railroad men in the city.

In the meantime a body Hes in a | newly made grave at Laurel Hill Ceme- | tery that rumor says was put there | through the designs of an artful slayer. Neither officer desires to take the ini- tiative in ferreting out the causes that made that fresh mound of earth in the city of the dead. 2 i Nearly two weeks ago Vidal Messa, who was supposed to have considerable | property and money, was married to | Florentino Cervantes. The woman was a notorious character on the Barbary Coast and vulgar in the extreme. Cer- | vantes was a young man of some re- | finement. A week after the marriage the woman was dead, and before the body was cold the husband began a | scramble for the property the woman left. The woman had long been a suf- ferer from asthma, but the illness that preceded her death was only of a few hours’ duration. The body was rushed | to the grave, and by some means the | inquisitorial office of the Coroner was avoided in the hurry to get at the prop- erty of the woman. “I am waiting for instructions from Chief Lees,” says Coroner Hawkins, “before making an examination of the | body of Mrs. Vidal Cervantes, who died | about a week ago, and whose friends believe her death was the result of a crime. Detective Anthony, when he notified me of the circumstances of her death, asked me to wait until he should | complete his investigations as far as | he could then go before taking any | steps. I am still waiting.” “The Coroner knows his duty,” says Chief Lees. “He does not need to wait for me to tell him to go ahead.

If a crime has been com- mitted In this case only the body and the contents of the stomach can reveal it, and ke is the proper official to deter- mine that fact. He is a physician, and he, by his professional knowledge, could ascertain if the woman died other than a natural death. It is his place to ascertain that, and when he reports to me then it is my time to act.” Coroner Hawkins says he has been ready to go ahead with an investiga- tion ever since the case was called to his attention. “The case was reported | to me,” he said, “by Detective Anthony about five days ago. The officer said | he was going to investigate it, and he asked me to do nothing in the mauer} until 1 heard from him. He gave the | impression that if anything was done to arouse the suspicions of those whom | he suspected of committing a crime, if | one had been committed, it might inter- | fere with his plan of probing the mys tery. I promised to do nothing with the body according to his request, but since The Call gave publicity to the matter I have been trying to get in communi- | cation with Detective Anthony to find out what I should do. I have so far been unable to reach him.” “The certificate of death was not | presented to my office, though it should have been, according to the law gov- erning such cases. Dr. Artigues was called to attend her only a few hours before she died.” Dr. Artigues, who attended the ‘woman, said he was called to prescribe for the sick woman at about noon of the day she died. He said he found the | patient suffering from asthma, and in | one of his prescriptions was a small quantity of morphine. The patient was directed to take that prescription every three hours’until relieved. Each dose as prescribed would only administer a fifth of a grain of the morphine. The directions were evidently not fol- lowed closely. The morphine was in powder form, and the prescription when it was filled called for ten powders. They were delivered to the woman less | than twelve hours before she died. In that time eight of them were taken. If taken regularly that would mean a | powder every hour and a half, or just as often again as was prescribed. In| addition to the morphine in the pow- ders that were prescribed by the phy- | sician the husband and the nurse of | the woman gave her several large doses of a cherry pectoral, a patented medi- | cine, that contained a large quantity | of opilum. Between the two medicines | sufficient_narcotic poison might have been given the woman to cause death. “I do not understand how it was that | the death certificate that I signed was not vised by -the Coroner. I signed it with the understanding that it was to go to that official, and I took the pre- | caution to write on the face of it that I| had only attended the woman but a| few hours before she died. At first T refused to sign a certificate, but finally agreed to do it, with the understanding that the case should be reported to the Coroner. Why it was not taken there 1 do not know, nor can I tell how it was passed by the Health Department with- | out some inquiries being made when T/ was careful to call attention to the fact | that the weman had died without hav- ing the necessary medical attendance as provided by law. T have no doubt but that my diagnosis of the case was right and that death was due to natural | causes, but at the same time the cir- cumstance as told in The Call gives good reason to believe that there might he something wrong with the death «f {he woman, and an investigation should be Feld.” Free, 1 month’s treatment.
