Tt doesn’t give the rank and file of the Democratic party a fair and square deal.” ROW IN THE BOYS HOME. Some of the Directors Resigned on Account of Manager Hutch- inson. There has been a split-up in the insti- tution known as the Boys’ Home, owing to a general dissatisfaction on the part of the directors with A. H. Hutchinson, the manager. At one time the home was in a prosperous condition, but on the resignation of D. M. Carman it took the downhill course until recently, when the active members of the Eureka So- clety for the Protection of Children un- dertook to put it on its feet again, giv- ing it _the name of the San Francisco Boys' Home. A board of directors was elected and there was every prospect that the insti- thtion would be onc of the best estab- | lished charitable organizations in th Hened Cfutchinson was retained as mans ager, and he assured the directors’ that the debts amounted to only 7. 'An inspection of the home at 26 Laurel place made some of the directors do ome thard thinking, for, according to the statement of one of the number the lace was not fit for human habitation. owever, it was fllled with the family and relations of Hutchinson, leaving but rule | little room_for the bo; Mr. Hutchin- son refused to be dictated to by the di- rectors or give any report of the finances and d This was too much, and the following officers resigned yesterday: L. R. Goldberg, vice president: Mrs. E. L. adham, treasurer; E. L. Wadham, D. 8. O'Brien, 'Mrs. R. Clayton Brower, J. Waldteufel and Dr. A. B. Wilson. This general resigning was preceded by establishing another home for boys on Howard street, near Sixteenth. It s the determination of those who have left the old organization to establish a home of their own and leave Mr. Hutchinson to shift for himself. The condition of the home on Laurel place is such that the health officers were notifled last evening premises. The other side, those who did not re- sign, tell a different story. Mrs. Pettee, the president, says that the trouble was all capsed by the Bureka Soclety people wanting to handle all the money and Mr. Hutchinson, who had managed to keep the home alive for many months, re. fused to be dictated to and let others et the credit of his work. Mrs. March s another who has stayed with the old home, and she takes the same view as Mrs. Pettee. AMATEURS DISCUSS McARTHUR'S STATUS Pacific Athletic Association Refers His Case to the Registration Commissioner. At a meeting of the Pacific Athletic As- ociation held the following ates were : “W.. R. Berry, president of the Reliance Athletic Club, in the chair; A. P. Rothkopf, of the Dol- phin Boating Club; J. D. Mahoney, of the South Ends; J. R. Bockman, of the Ariels; W. C. Espy, of the Pineers; John Elliott, of the Olympic Boating Club; H. C. Guit- tard, of the Union Athletic Club, and G. A. Hinkel of the Lurline Club. The com- mittee appointed to investigate the Len Hausler matter recommended that the medal, at present in Hauser's possession, be handed over to the association, tobeen- graved with Hausler's name, and turned over to the Dolphin Club, of which Haus- ler was a member at the time of his win- ning the medal. Medals were awarded to the following winners of the swimming races held last month at the Lurline Baths. 5 yards, malden race—H. A. Wiedemann, Lurline Club; time, :29%: G. A.

McArthur, a mem- ber of the South End barge crew that will row against the Alamedas at the Astoria regatta on the 19th, 20th and 22d, it was suggested that the race will be in the nature of an exhibition, that there wul be no gate receipts and mo individual prizes, and that in such an event ama- teurs may row against professionals with- out forfeiting their amateur standing. Each oarsman, to protect his standing in the Amateur Athletic Union, has been instructed to lodge a formal protest agalnst_the inclusfon of McArthur in the South End crew with the referee of the Astoria regatta. The chairman thought that McArthur ought to be suspended until the Registration Commissfoner shall have passed upon his case. It was stated that the Astoria regatta will be held un- der the auspices of the National Associa- tion of Amateur Oarsmen, an affiliated body of the Amateur Athletic Union; that the Alameda crew are members of thatas- sociation, and that the South Ends have applied for membership. Ultimatély the case of McArthur was referred to the Registration Commissioner, who has large discretionary powers in such cases. A junior oarsman or sculler was defined to be one who has never won a race, an intermediate oarsman or sculler, one who has won a junior race, but has never won an intermediate or senior event; and a Senior oarsman or sculler one who has won an intermediate or senior event. The annual meeting of the Pacific Ath- letic Association will be held on the third Monda{ in September at the rooms of the Reliance Athletic Club, Oakland. —_———————— More Dentists Graduated.

Jury Decides That He Yroke His Contract With N. J. Stone and Must Pay the Consid- eration. H. H. Bancroft, who wears the laurels as the most voluminous historlan that ever wrote by proxy, was the victim of a Judge and jury vesterday in the United States Clreuit Court. ‘Before the noon re- cess all the evidence had been presented and at 2:30 p. m. the case of Hambly vs. Bancroft was submitted to the jury. Af- ter deliberating for about an hour they returned a verdict awarding the plaintift $9833 23 for salary sued for and due N. J. Stone (who assigned his cialm to Ham- bly), together with interest and costs ag- gregating $12,250. This is the third judgment won by Stone on his contract with Bancroft, the first and second having been awarded by jur- jes In the Superior Court of this city. The story of the case is that Stone en- tered into a_ten-year contract beginning August 20, 1886, with Bancroft whereby Stone was to have charge of the publica- tion and sale of the Bancroft histories, he to hold a one-tenth interest in the History Company and to draw 3330 per month salary. tone and Bancroft had a falling out, the nature and cause of which did not appear in the evidence, and Bancroft's agent not only refused to al- jow him to do the work laid out. for him in the contract, but refused also to pay him his salary. It was con:ended by Attorney W. F. Michael, representing the law firm of Page, McCutcheon & Eells, that Stone broke the contract by becoming the agent of a jag cure before the flllng of the com- laint in the present case. Stone proved, Ko\ve\'er, that he went into the jag cure business after the Bancroft people had refused to allow him to work for them, es did not produce suffi- board. The present suit was for his wages from April 1, 184, to August 20, 1896. The plaintiff was represented by Messrs. Reddy and Orton of the law firm of Reddy, Campbell and Metson. ———e———— LUPE SAUCEDO DISAPPEARS. The Little Italian Girl Missing From Her Home Since Last Monday. Lupe Saucedo, a girl 8 years of age, disappeared suddenly from her home at 735 Broadway Monday night, and has not been seen since. Various theories has been advanced as a solution to the mys- tery, among them abduction and acclden- tal death. It is alleged that the child’s parents have been in the habit of abusing her, and for this reason she has left her home. Others afirm that she was abducted by some man who was probably attracted by her beauty, and a few that some charit- ably inclined woman has taken pity on the child by placing her in an institu- tion. When last seen she was in company with a child of her own age playing in a neighboring yard. Where she went after this is a mystery as no one saw her leave the yard. A short time before she disappeared she complained that her face and hands were paining her, she having been brutally thrown against a_hot stove that morning by her mother who was acting under an tmpulse of anger caused by drunken frenzy. That the child was ever abused is de- nied by its parents but is sustained by the girl's school teacher at the Broadgray Grammar School, who claims that llttle Lupe was in the habit of coming to school virtually in rags and totally neglected. It was a novelty to see her attend class Without some mark of abuse on her body dealt by the cruel hand of her parent. When last seen she was poorly, even raggedly clad in an ordinary woollen dress and her face bearing the marks of her recent punishment. . PATRIOTIC HOME HELPERS.

The California Athletic and Swimming Club will give an entertainment on Tues- day evening next In Franklin Hall. Jimmy Riley and Frank Schuler will box eight rounds. “Spider” Kelly, who recently returned from the East, stated to a reporter of a morning paper that Jim Corbett would cer- tainly defeat McCoy, and when accosted by a representative of an evening paper Mr. Kelly did not hesitate to say that in his opinion McCoy would whip Corbett. The “‘Spider” is evidently carrying brick He stated last even= ing that he would like very much to meet Tom Tracey in a 20-round contest. BEvi- dently the long-legged pusilist would have no okgecllnn to the short end of a California fighter's stake. Although McConnell whipped McKeever the sporting people of this city would like very much to see McKeever and Tracey in action, as they are both.generals. The Western Athletic Club has_grown weary of Griffo, who Is now under the influénce of powerful steam. The direc- tors of the club are negotiating with Jack Granfield and Jimmy Lawlor “and doubt- less a match will be made in the near future. —_——————— DRUGGISTS COMBINE. Association t; Sec‘uré Unity, Har- mony and a Regulation of Prices. About 100 druggists convened in the Al- cazar building last night to form an as- soclation for the purpose of ralsing the prices on patent medicines to cover the war tax, to agree upon uniform prices and to desist from all counter prescrib- ing. Commissions to physicians will be abolished and a general harmony brought about among_druggists. Julian L. Waller presided. He was elected president of the new association; David Fletcher was appointed treasurer and secretary. An executive committee of five was appointed, consisting of W. F. Wynne, H. L. Ladd, B. P. Gates, M. Bernheim and H. C. Morrison. The com- mittee on rules Is as follows: Chairman, Dr. Morgan, Messrs. Brommel, Flatow and Warren. ‘A committee will be appointed to make a constant tour of the drug dispensaries of the city to sce that no other than grad- uated pharmacists are emploved. THE FIGHT ON 2TIS DECLARED A DRAW PRINTERS DECIDE TO PASS NO RESOLUTION. on both shoulders. Union Labels and District Organiza- tion Are Features of the State Convention. The printers in State conventlon yes- terday concluded that it would not be politic to pass resolutions upon the ap- pointment of Brigadier General Otis, ow- ing to his connection with the very men whom the printers desire to meet in the settlement of difficulties between union workmen and employers. 'the delegates did not feel dlsposed to widen the breach. In line with this conclusion A. J. Read, A. C. Schwatka, Willlam Hill, L. P. Ward and M. A. McInnis were appointed a committee to confer with the execu- tive committee of the Labor Council to arrange a meeting with the Typothetae. The convention adopted the resolutions offered by the committee on union labels, and the committee on laws and resolu- tions that all civic bodies throughout the State be requested by formal circular to })ntronlze only printers that use the union abel. The motion to form a consumers’ league was lost, and a resolution adopted urging all union men to patronize the union label. The committee on resolutions reported, urging the organization of a district unlon, to be composed of California, Ore- gon, Washington, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Hawali, to act under the constitu- tion and by-laws of the International Typographical Union of North America. Tée report was adopted. L. P. Ward, John Collins and F. E. Caler reported that the secretary-treas- urer’s accounts are correct. A committes composed of A. C. Schwat- ka, E. A. Parker and C. B. Huse reported resolutions of thanks to the gress of the v, the Orpheum Theater, State Board of Harbor Commissioners, pervisors, J. J. Keegan, James P. Oliver, Henry P. Ginini and John Scott. The question of Eureka's claims to the convention next year was referred to A. C. Schwatka, Thomas H. Perry and Fred Caler, to report this afternoon. The delegates will go out on the bay this morning, guests of the Harbor Com- missioners, and will conclude their ses- sion this afternoon. ——e—————— A FLAG DEMONSTRATION.
