Decline to Submit Their Troubles to a Board of Arbitration. Last night's session of the Labor Coun- cil was devoted principally to questions affecting organized labor and firms who have shown a hostile attitude toward union labor. G. M. Kutz & Co., 105 Mis- sion street, who are engaged in the shoe- making business, came in for a share of the discussion. This firm has been at log- gerheads with the lasters’ and shoemak- ers’ unions for some time, and there seems to be no immediate prospect of a satisfactory conclusion. A proposition to submit the trouble to arbitration was made by the dissatisfied unfon hands, but Kutz & Co. declined to accept. The decli- nation placed tne Council on the defen- sive, and it was ordered that the Council declare its intention to place a boycott.

WILL LIMIT ADVERTISING FENCES TO TWENTY FEET Supervisors’ Judiciary Committee to | Recommend an Ordinance Against 1 Freak Display. An amended ordinance regulating the height of fences of wood or other inflam- | mable material within the city was sub- | mitted yesterday to the Judiciary Com- mittee by Supervisor Brandenstein and | will be recommended for passage at next | Monday's meeting of the board. The orig- | inal ordinance restricted the height of | fences to ten feet, but on the representa- | tion of the Bill Posters’ Association that the ten-foot limit would ruin their busi- | ness the committee decided to limit the | height to twenty feet. The ordinance pro- | vides: ® | 1t shall be unlawful for any person, assocla- fon or corporation to build or maintain, or to uffer to be built or maintained, within the y und county of San Francisco any fence of or other Inflammable material over twenty feet in height above the level of the sidewalk without the permit of the Board of Fire War- dene (and of the Board of Public Works) of the city and county of San Francisco first ob- | tained.” Sald Fire Wardens (and Board o Pub- | e Works) shail have power to grant such per- | mit only if the said fence is built or main- a wind-break or as a means to protect from injury from any building or ture in the course of construction, Qestruction, and will not be ‘a nace to life or properly, nor interfere with the work of the Fire Department Section 2. Any fence buiit or maintalned in violation of the provisions of this ordinance s | bereby declared a public nuisance, and the Chief of Police and the Chief Engineer of the | Fire Department are directed to abate the | same forthwith. “ The ordinance regulating and restrict- ing advertising, which has been already published, was also adopted. It provides that it shall be unlawful for any person or firm to drive through the streets any wagon carrying advertisements unles | said wagon be owned by a storekeeper | corporation doing business and unless per- | mission is obtained from the Board of | Public Works; also to propel any street- ars with advertisements printed on the |-outside of the car; to appear on the streets in extraordinary costume or dress |'or by making any unusual nolse; to paint advertisements on gutterways, streets or | sidewalks or distribute any handbills or dodgers for advertising purposes and to appear on the streets carrying banners, boards or placards with advertisements. The committee decided to make certain exceptions in the case of advertising by labor organizations, but only when per- mission is granted by the Board of Works. PERSONAL MENTION. J. G.

Bortz- meyer, the young ntan who was robbed and shot on his way home a few nights | ago, was a membsr of Yerba Buena Lodge | No. 1788, Knights of Honor. This lodge has drafted and sent to Chief of Police Sullivan a series of resolutions condemn- ing the police for their inability to cap- ture the thieves and suppress the out- rages. The financial policy of Mayor Phe- lan in throwing the city into darkness is roundly denounced, and the members of the order declare that it may be necessary for the different fraternal organizations to create vigilance committees for their own protection. ‘While the protest of the Knights of Honor is timely and thoroughly justified, all blame should not be placed on the Po- lice Department. The Call is not an apol- ogist for the police, but every one knows that the department has been serlously and dangerously handicapped by the wretched policy of Mayor Phelan. Blame should rest where it belongs—on the shoul- ders of the Mayor, who has constituted himself the responsible government of this-city. It is his kindergarten municipal government which is jeopardizing the lives of citizens and giving rein to the criminal elements of the town. The communication of the Knights of Honor'to the Chief of Police is as follows: ‘W. P. Sullivan, Chief of Police, San Francisco, Cal.: At a meeting oli Yerba Buena Lodge No. 1788, Knights of Honor, held on May 7, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressive | of our indignation at the apparent inabil- ity of the police force of this city to prop- erly protect the lives of its citizens. The committee prepared the following resolu- tions, which were adopted by the lodge and ordered transmitted to you: Whereas, Fred Bortzmeyer, an hon- ored and esteemed member of this lodge, | and a young man of excmplary character, was robbed and shot on the streets of this city on the night of May 2 while peace- fully_pursuing his way to his home from the Young .\?Fl!'s Christian Association building; therefore be it Resolved, That we, as members of this lodge, decply deploré the seeming inca- | pacity of the poiice authorities of this city to properly protect the persons and lives of its citizens and, as there are from three to four hundred men every night attending the different lodges and per- forming a duty that is beneficial to the | community at large, and as their wives and families are kept in a constant state of fear in their absence, we beg to sug- gest that if there are not enough police- men to properly patrol the city the Chief of Police would, in our opinion, have no difficulty in securing from the different fraternal organizations of this ctly suffi- cient aid necessary for that purpose. Be it further Resolved, That the continual increase of depredations by the criminal classes will make it necessary in the near future | for the fraternal organizations to form a vigilance committee for their own pro- tection, which would be a reflection on | the “reform government’ of this city. Be it_further Resolved, That we condemn the finan- clal policy of this city that makes it necessary to leave the streets in darkness after 12 o'clock at night, thereby increas- ing the opportunities for robbery and oth- er crimes. Respectfully ubmitted, MAXWELL L. CROWE, R. H. NOBLE, EMIL TRITTENBACH. NO INDICTMENTS MADE IN CRAVEN-FAIR CASE Grand Jury Takes No Action—Inves- tigating Waller-Seifert Charges. The Grand Jury did not return any in- dictments yesterday in the charges of per- jury and subornation of perjury growing out of the Craven-Fair contest, despite | sensational rumors that true bills would be returned agalnst Mrs. Craven, Adolph Sylva and Justice Simpton. Secretary Rock of the Grand Jury stat- ed that the matter had been under con- sideration for some time, but no conclu- sion had been arrived at. He was not pre- pared to say whether any indictments would be returned nor when they would be filed if at all. District Attorney Bying- ton said that no indictments in the case had been presented to the Grand Jury. It | has been published several times that at | least three indictments will be brought against those who have been mixed up in the Simpton aflidavits, and the prophecy that they would be filed before Judge Dunne yesterday was simply a wild guess and nothing more. The jury continued yesterday the in- vestigation of the alleged selling of exam- fnation questions of the State Board of | Pharmacy by members Waller and Sel- | fert. The witnesses examined were Fred | C. Enselsb&'. John Seebold, T. H. Harper, O. H. Eddinger, J. Dickoff ‘and Arthur Seammel. No indictments were returned, as the sifting of the evidence had not been concluded at the time of adjournment.

According to its natural meaning it | would seem that a cold was an affection produced by exposure to low tempera- tures, to cold weather. \‘mhlni could very well be farther from the truth than this. Colds are not nearly so common in ex- tremely cold countries as in the temper- ate zone. They are not nearly so fre- quent high up amid the Alps as in_the cities at the foot of the mountains.
