LABOR COUNCIL MATTERS. Andrew Furuseth Denounces the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association. Aside from doing a little dabbling in politics the greater part of the meeting | of the Labor Council last evening was taken up in discussing ways of introduc- ing the union label, and in this connec- tion the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association was characterized as “‘an or- ganization composed wholly of men who neither manufacture nor produce, which has done more to injure California than the much-talked-of monopolies or any- thing else.” It was stated by Andrew Furuseth that a iew years ago, “‘when labor unions were strong in the city, home manufacture was being boomed; a umon man buyin shoes made outside the State was finé $5; there was plenty of work and new factories were springing up everywhere. Then,” he said, “this assoclation took a bhand and made a concerted Workingmen went back Ea: vas a smaller consumption of goods and fac- tories went to the wall, raising the cry of ‘Eastern competitiol while the real cause of their fallure was that the asso- ociation -drovi the workingman and substituted cheap labor.

SCOTT HOME FROM EUROPE WILL REACH ABOUT TEN DAYS. He Has Met With Success in the Business Which Called Him Across the Atlantic. Dr. George Chismore returned last night from Europe and recelved a warm wel- come at his home, 705 Sutter street. He has been absent since last April, during | which period he has been the medical at- | tendant and travellng companion of Irv- ing M. Scott on his business tour in Eu- rope. Dr. Chismore left Mr. Scott in New York, from which city he was to pro- geed, in a day or two, to Washington, Intending to reach San Francisco in about ten days. Mr. Scott is in excellent | health and spirits, says Dr. Chismore, | who, however, stated that he was not | permitted to say anything about Mr. Scott’s business affalrs further than that he had beeri entirely successful in the | various matters which had called him to | Europe, with the exception that he did | ot secure any contract for the bullding of any battleships. The inference is that he obtained contracts for a large amount of other shipbuilding work. . Mr. Scott and Dr. Chismore spent a month in St. Petersburg, and made ex- cursions to varfous important business centers, among the places visited being Moscow. They also Visited all the prin- cipal tron works and shipbuilding estab- lishments in Northern Europe, including England, and at all these places the pame of Scott and the fame of the Union Iron Works of San Francisco were well known. Mr. Scott was well received by knew of the 9!510!!5 of the warships that had been turned out from the Union Iron Works, especially the Olympia and the Oregon. = s R. A. GRAHAM'S ANSWER.

Destroys the Evidence on Hearing That the Police Were Searching for Her—Bain Denies His Guilt. Mrs. Grace Allison, the attractive *“widow” who Is awaiting examination in the Police Court on a charge of grand larceny, was rearrested last night on an indictment presented by the Grand Jury. This time she is charged with conspiracy in “beating” an unsophisticated black- smith of Winters, Yolo County, out of several hundred dollars. Isaac W. Bain, her alleged accomplice, was also indicted on a similar charge, and locked up In the tanks of the City Prison.

He was advised to appear before the Grand Jury and try to have the woman indicted. terday he told his story to that body and indictments were found against Mrs. Allison and Bain. Jetective Dillon and Sergeant Moffitt were given the indictment to serve, and after considerable trouble they found Bain and the woman In the former's of- fice on Is street. Bain sent to the City Prison In the patrol gon, while Se nt Moffitt es- corted the woman to he 0oom, expecting to find evidence to convict her of the e crime. After a thorough arch he failed to unearth the much-wanted evidence, and she was also taken to the City Prl on, where they were both formally charged. According to the testimony of Deupr which he gave before the Grand Jur he read the advertisement inserted by the woman, and, thinking she would make him a good wife, he wrote to her. She re- plied that she wi “rich widow” and was desirous of seeking anocaer husband. After they had corresponded for short time the woman wrote him that she needed a piano, and asked him to buy her one. Deuprey, evidently thinking that she w: sincére in her ‘declaration that she loved him, bought a piano for $475, which he sent to her.

RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED CONVENTION OF MEN WHO HAN- DLE MONEY. To-Day Delegates Will Inspect Beau- ties of Tamalpais — Executive Council Will Fix Upon Next Meeting Place. ‘When the bankers’ convention recon- vened yesterday morning J. M. Elllott of the First National Bank of Los Angeles presiding in the absence of J. J. Valentine, a resolution was presented tendering the thanks of the delegates to Hon. Frank G. Newlands for his address on ‘‘Cur- rency Reform.” A second resolmtion was also offered thanking Mr. Newlands for his opposition to the passage of the ‘Walker currency bill now pending in Con- gress. Lovell White, of the San Francisco Sav- ings Union, read an able paper entitled, “Exemption from Taxation of Bonds of the Counties, Municipalities and School Districts of the State.” The chief pur- pose in opposing the taxation of public securities, Mr. White asserted, arose out of the fact that it enhances by an appre- ciable pereentage the rate of Interest necessary to be paid on county and munic- ipal bonds over whatever is recovered in the way of taxes; the higher rate of in- terest is of necessity paid by the poorer counties and districts, which must resort to borrowing, while the small amounts re- covered as taxes go into the treasurie8 of the larger cities. It makes the State and its political subdivisions tributary to foreign creditors, continued Mr. White, and thereby involyes a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars each year from circulation; it impairs the credit of the State by allowing the impression to go forth that it is a debtor State and that its people are of necessity impoverished and on the verge of bankruptcy; it gives a preference to non-residents over its own citizens; it destroys reverence for the law by maintaining on the statutes one which i8 easily evaded; it weakens the concep- tion of {he sanctity of an oath, and lowers uxxg s(a.r;‘dnrdiot p}xbnc ’marn.my by in- viting the crime of perjury. ‘When Mr. White had concluded, Frank Miller, president of the D. O. Mills Bank of Sacramento, speaking on the same subject, sald: ublic funds should be secured by State bonds in California. The question of public funds is in a_confused state. The depository system of national banks should be used. The taxation of these bonds is the prime difficulty. And after this it is difficult to tell whether a bond {g good or not. We have gone through an insolvency process in Sacra- mento. A certain proportion of our debt was placed in the hands of a commission which got us out of debt in several years. ;!‘hg condition of public funds in California s deplorable.” To Mr. Miller's remarks Mr. White made answer that a real effort had been made to reach the political parties on this question, but not one of them had evinced a desire to put this proposition in its plat- form. He said that it was impossible to look upon this as a movement of the bankers for the reason that it would be at once opposed. ‘“We can only recommend an amendment of our State constitu- tion,” he sald. “We can only handle it as disinterested bankers and as ordlna.r!y citizens. “We must rely on individual ef- fort.” His remarks, as were those of Mr. Miller, were greeted with loud applause. Professor Plehn of the Unlversity of California next addressed the convention. He said that, as a man of mere theories, he hesitated to talk to practical bankers. “But I consider,” he declared, “that Mr. White's ideas accord with those of the best authorities. In theory it is advis- able, if you tax prui)erty, to tax all kinds of property. In all cases, however, we fail to reach shifting investments, mo- bile capital, as it is frequently termed, As it is impossible to tax this form of property the question arises, what be- comes of the taxes imposed on certain arts of that property which are reached? he tax is shifted. The bondholder who ays the taxes exacts a higher rate of nterest. Shifting always_costs money, The bondholder exacts a higher rate of interest than would pay him for the tax he wants to pay. It would, therefore, be less costly if the municipalities could col- lect the tax at the start.’” The next speaker was M. J. Daniels of the Orange Growers' Bank of Riverside. Mr. Daniels said that it was importagt to people. “What prevents Los Angeles or any other city is- suing a bond.éhe sald, “which is utyjuag ] as good as a Government bond in every respect? We should make a municipal bond have the same credit. It ought to be exempt from taxation.” Henry Brown of the Napa Bank said that no action should be taken in the matter until the people who bear the burden complain. Personal property, he declared, is not assessed at its full value. The attémpt to exempt bonds from ta: ation is only a step to exempt all per- sonal property from taxation.’ J. M. Elliott, vice president of the ass ctation, sald that it would be almost i possible to exempt all personal proper and he was followed by Bank Comm sioner Magee of Pa believe that every should be taxed. There is, however, one excellent reason why municipal ~and school property should not be taxed. The Government's indebtedness in every form should be free from taxation. A muni pality should be free from taxation o varlety of property as well as the United States Government.” A discussion was then had on the sub- ect of “A Uniform Law for Negotiable nstruments.’ James A. Thompson of the Donohoe-Kelly = Banking Company spoke on the subject at length. He read a letter from Frank W. Tracy, chalr- man of the committee on legislation of the American Bankers’ Association. “The in- dications are that the uniform law will be passed in all the States this winter,” Mr. Tracy wrote, and M hompson said that the law was imperative in order that California might stand with many of the other leading States of the Union. Resolution: ere then offered by Henry Brown of Napa tendering a vote of thanks to J. J. Valentine for his ad- dress on “Currency Reform,” opposing the Walker currency bill, and recom- mending that resolutions to this effect be forwarded to Congress. These resolu- tions were submitted to the committee on resolutions. The afternoon session was devoted to the discussion of questions relating to banking and to the reports of the com- mittees on auditing, nominations and res- lution: J. J. Valentine of Wells, Fargo & Co. was re-elected president; J. M. El- liott of the First National Bank of Los Angeles was re-elected vice president; G ‘W. Kline of the Crocker-Woolworth Na- tlonal Bank was re-elected treasurer; R. M. Welch of the San Francisco Savings Union was re-elected secretary, and James A. Thompson of the Donohoe- Kelly Banking Company was re-elected chairman of the executive council. For the council whose term expires in 1801 J. E. Baker of the Alameda Bank, Frank Miller of the National Bank of D. O. Mills & Co. of Sacramento, and T. S. Hawkins of the Bank of Hollister were elected as members. The convention then adjourned, leaving the determination of the time and place for the next conven- tion to the executive council. To-day the delegates to the convention will visit Mount Tamalpals. They will take the 9:30 boat via the Sausalito fer- ry, and will return before sunset. Excel- lent arrangements have been made for the outing, and over two hundred of the delegates, their wives and families, will participate. SOL CAHEN RETURNS. Is Tendered a Hearty Reception by a Host of Veteran Friends. Sol Cahen, department commander, G. A. R., returned last night from the na- tional encampment at Cincinnati. He was recelved at the depot by flve hundred members of the G. A. R. posts and the veteran guards, who, headed by the band of the Fifty-first Iowa, escorted him to B'nai B'rith Hall, where he was tendered a reception. General Edward Salomon, past depart- ment commander, acted as chairman and made an address of welcome. In his re- ply Mr. Cahen said that he was happy to state that the grand encampment had formulated an address to the President and Secretary Alger commending them {Dr the successful conduct the conduct of the war, while the crowned heads of Europe have looked on with wonder and amazement at the success of an army taken from the occupations of Feace but a few days before it was put nto the field. It is a pity that men can be found in our own country who would try to belittle the acts of so successful an administration.” At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Cahen was cheered to the echo by the assembled veterans who felt the force of his remarks. Speeches were also made by C. Mason Kinne, Colonel Loper of the Fifty-first Iowa and many others, while the oc- casion was enlivened from time to time bfi' selections from the Iowa band and cheers for Messrs. Cahen and Salomon. —— ADVERTISEMENTS. Good Blood Makes Health And Hood's Sarsaparilla makes good blood. That is why it cures so many diseases and makes so many people feel better than ever before.

MILLIONAIRES IN CONTROL A PUMPING COMMITTEE TO BE APPOINTED. Mine Superintendents Join in Recom- mending Action, Stock Brokers Feel Good and Assessments Are in Prospect. The reopening of the Comstock lode by the unwatering of the long submerged lower workings is now being <eriously considered by the principal share owners of those properties. There will be a meet- ing to-day of the joint committes, repre- resenting twenty-four Comstock mining companjes, to consider the joint report of the mine superintendents submitted to the executive committee last Thursday. Further reports regarding the levels be- low the Sutro tunnel will be filed to-day. It is expected that a “pumping commit- tee” will be appointed to proceed witn the enterprise in conjunction with the com- mittee. The combined report of the superintend- ents filed the other day unqualifiedly rec- ommends the carrying on of the work. Attention s called to the bodies of un- worked pay ore found between the depths of 1800 and 3300 feet before a sudden rush of water, and a demand for dividends led to the abandonment of deep operations. It is pointed out that the great width of the lode, about 600 feet, affords much room for prospecting in all the levals and instances of the unexpected striking of bonanzas at varfous levels of different mines in the upper workings are recalled. The preliminary estimates of cost vary between $200,000 and $500,000, according to the scale of operations. The raising of this money is the main difficulty to be overcome. It is generally belifeved an the street that the fund must be raised by assess- ment. This will be used to start the pumping, and it is thought that a boom in Comstock shares would result, which could be so cultivated as to make the venture a succe: The finding of a bo- nanza or two would give the needed im- petus. The agitation of the pumpin~ plan has already put some life in tne market. A week ago Con. Cal. & Va. was around the 25-cent point. It is now 85, and has been to 84 cents. The leading operators think that if the enterprise is carried out it will again make San Francisco a great min- ing stock marke A LIGETWEIGHT TEAM.
