A meeting of club women was held In the parlors of the Unitartan Church this afternoon, at which were representatives | of s in the Mrs e of the best-known organizations te. The meeting was called by Sexton, who holds an im- Dlace In both a club and a lter- and was for the purpose of dis- cus Cali ent The gathering was an interesting one. It brought together workers in the suf- frage movement; philanthroplc ladies who favor federation as a more powerful means for good; conservative ones wha are willing to see clubs In general join if their own takes no part in the ques- tion, and others who were utterly in ig- wrance on the whole subject and said so0. There were & mnumber of bright speeches that kept to the subject and fornia. About fifty ladles were pres- were enjoyable. Mrs. Lloyd Baldwin presided and Miss { Alameda acted as secretary. Sexton gave the most interesting afternoon, in which. she asons for federation. She gave sald in part ““That the Individual clubs of California belonging to the General Federation of Women's Clubs should unite in a State ars to me most !

Any one of these subjects taken by a State federation of strong, calm, vet thusiastic club women promises wondrous possibilities of good.” Mrs. Sexton advocated the interest of omen in the educational systems defective or delinquent children. Mrs. Emma Shafter Howard, who 18 a forcible and brilllant speaker, advocated fegoration strongly. Following her, Mrs. John F. Swift declared that federation is on the way and will be carried in this State. “A large number of clubs will unite,” he said, “and those that do not want to, | needn’t.” Mrs. A. A.

She said that ghe attended, not as a representative of her club, but in a personal way and as one whe was not posted whatever on the sub- | ject of federation. At the close of the meeting a resolu- tion favoring federation was adopted without a dissenting volce, though there was a feeling entertained by a few that | general federation was not entirely satis- factory to their minds.

Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, Broadway, Dec. 21. A disastrous fire, which would in all probability have resulted in the loss of a block of property and the lives of sev- eral people, was narrowly averted this morning by the fortunatc discovery by Patrolman Andrews of the work of an ncendlary at the northeast cormer of Seventh and Franklin streets. The in- cendiary had placed several gallons of in_an unoccupied barrocom on floor and in one of the sleep- ve, and had deliberately ap- pi ch to it. Lucklly Patrolman Andrews saw biaze befare it had | kained mueh headway, and he summoned the Fire Department in time to avert the catastrophe. drews was patroling his beat in the ¥ of Seventh and adway at 3 ‘elock, when he noticed the reflection of the flames in the windows of the build- | ing. the upper floor of which is used as 4 lodging house by Mrs. Robert Flynn. | He has turned in an alarm and the Fire Department responded promptly. It took considerable fighting to extinguish the blaze, but it was done hefore very ums of the woodwork had become Ig- nited As soon as the firemen arrived upon the scene they realized that arson had been attempted, and an investigation by Fire Chief Ball and Pelice Sergeant Green confirmed thelr belief. The barroom col tained wads of paper and several b& - kets saturated with coal oil, and it had been liberally spread abeut the floor, A tumbler contalning the fluid had been placed on the back bar and on_the bar proper was a broken ofl lamp. The bar- room has long been unoccupled, and it is claimed that a door connecting it with a corridor from the street was always left open. Just above the barroom, on the Franklin street side of the house, was the other sleeping room which had been treated to a coating of kerosene. Here the ol had been generously sprinkled and the bed clothing, consisting of a single blanket and a spread, had also been sat. urated. In one place the carpet had been torn up and the ofl poured through a re- cently ored_hole to the ceiling of the room below. This room, according to Mrs. Flynn, was last used by an elderly man whose name she did not know, The man, she claimed, had the only key to the room other than her general pass key. She had known him but a short time and could give ne reason for the attempted arson, as she clalmed to have no ene- mies. Had the flames galned any headway It {s doubtful whéther the biock bounded by Seventh, Eighth, Franklin and Web- ster streets could have been saved. Th bulldings are close together and are ol frame affairs, mostly occupled by Chi- nese. They were all well filled and it would have been with difficulty that the sleeping occupants could have been warned in time to escape. The bullding in which the fire was started Is owned by | the Betts estate. Mrs. Flynn carried an | Insurance on her scanty furniture of $700 | in the Hartford Company. the officers of which are assisting the J:ullce in thelr efforts to detect the incendiary. e | CALIFORNIA AT BUFFALO. ! utim e | Preparing for the Greatest Exhibit California Has Ever Made. The most gratifying news that has been received recently at the State Board of Trade came to the hands of the manager, J. A. Flicher, yesterday (n the form of & letter from Buffalo, N. Y. It contained the information that the board had been granted free space In the Pan-American Exposition, which will open In that city in May, 191. A long time ago It was un- derstood here that this fair would equal in scope any that has ever been held on this continent, and would be second only to the World's Fair of Paris. The demand for space has been very great from the start and the State Board of Trade from the begmning made a strong stand for free space for the State exhibits of Call- fornia. As the space required for the thousands of exhibits that will be nt will require at least 20,000 square feet. there was some apprehension that a re- fusal would be the answer. Mr. Filcher states that but few people of this State nprr(—c!ue the magnitude | and importance of the Pan-American Ex- position and the éffect it will have upon the future commercial relationship of the American countries. For years the United | States has endeavored to secyre the trade | of the countries of this hemisphere, bul found. that the rival manufacturers of Europe had the inside hold upon the busi- | ness. This assembling of the commodities of all American countries is certain to keep on this side of the water the trade that should never have gone abroad. Preparations are being made to have this State turn out the best exhibit of its nat- ural and manufactured products that has ever crossed the boundary. —_——— MORE FUNDS ENRICHED.
