The perfectly willing to admit that the distin- fuished members of the Police Commis- are notorlously and aggressively ome, and there is not the slightest that their plctures would adorn a show, much less the Hall of Jus- the Supervisors insist that there is e for everything, even the pictures of the beautiful’ Police Commissioners, and In this case the place for these pictures 1s the gallery of the Po- lice Commission. It would be daifM- to suggest a more appropriate setting for these works of art. In this ry, the Supervisors insist, the photo- will receive an individuality es- their own, and what will be lost to the Hall of Justice as a whole will be gained by the department over which ent Commissioners shed thelr and light. £ these pletures as suggested, Police Department will and it is not beyond ility that the little individually and col- lectively, can take their hats off as they pass before the benign counterfeits of eriors. But the Supervisors ar- at it is unjust to make them pay % my of the cost, they say, should be borne by the Police Department fund and entered in the category of municipal luxuries, for it is deemed a luxury to have constantly before one's eyes the classic beauty of the Police Commission. It has been sug- gested also that a composite photograph of the commission might be made in the interest of science, as well as of art. ‘While the Sugrvisors wish to encourage | the esthetic i& of the Police Commis- | slon, the City Fathers emphatically de- | cline to pay the bills. Supervisor Hotal- | ing, whose economic eye has discovered the item of expense, felt that he was treading on delicate ground yesterday when he discussed the matter. He wanted it to be distinctly understood that he con- siders the faces of the Police Commission things of beauty and a joy forever, but he ventured the opinion that their pic- tured glories belong in the police gallery at the expense of the Police Depsrtment. He will, therefore, insist that the item of cost for these photographs be cut out | of the bill for furnishing the Hall of Jus- tice. It is sincerely to be hoped that the Police Ccmmissioners will not get on | their d(gnlli’l and deprive that part of the | ubllc which has access to the police gal- ey of a vision of these prospective beau- tles DIES FROM EFFECTS OF Frank Cullen, a Clerk in the Wells, Fargo & Co.

He was brought to this city, where the best medical skill was called in to save his life. 1, however, refused to heal, but grew steadily worse, finally causing his death.

Captain Jack o d, the poet scout, paid a feeling to th nory of the martyred ident. as followed by Colonel Hrnr\ L alsky, who delivered the eulogy. In part Colonel Kowalsky said: | Fellow Countrymen: Herolc in American his- tory stands the figure of the immortal Garfield, | over whose bier a nation weeps as it recalls | the untimely taking off of onme of the truest | |sons of the soll—humble bo: true statesman, tender son, | indul father. Men oftgp. possess one, two and sometimes a | trinity of Virtues, but seldom do we encounter | 80 complete a man as was our immortal Presi- dent Garfleld. On these occasions the growing youth of our country gather to learn of the manhood and valor of those who are held up to them as the great examples to follows, There- fore, this gathering has a two-fold purpose, to honor the dead and instruct the living. Yy, brave soldier, loving husbana, — In every station of life we find Garfleld grand —as @ teacher, Congressman and soldler; un- trained to war In its hardships he did not hesitate to accept the cail when the nation was in danger of being disrupted. He was a good, brave and careful soldier and acted with promptness and decision, The life of Garfield shows that courage and honesty of purpose, well planned and executed, are rewarded by tuccess. This land of ours shall be famed beyond the greatest expecta- tions of those yet unborn, but never in the his- tory of time will thi nation grow so grand and large that it will forget the history of the | poor boy of the towpath, who in every walk of life, from the humblest to the grandest, “tands as the purest and the highest example of American manhood—worthy of emulation by the youth of our land. An address by J. F. Bachelder, a song, | “O1d ¥lag Forever,” by Leila France, and | the song, ‘‘America,” completed the nro- [srammp The Veteran Reserves of Oak land swung into line again and fired the | salute.

At the present time nearly a dozen new clubs are being fitted up at much expense and others have been recently opened. The police were prepared to take vigorous steps to sup- press the Chinese sporting element and early yesterday morning under the direc- | tions of Chief of Polfce Bullivan and Cap- tain Wittmen a squad of officers, headed by Bergeant Christianson, surprised the Mongolians, chopped the doors of most of the dens open and prevented them from | operating. The gamblers expect much from the Chinese who are about to return from | Alaska and the country and elaborate | made to receive | at tho fantan huilidln.‘;' in Ross c preparations have been s, has into gaming quarters. 1 lavishly ex- pended on lights and tre paint and the colony has donned an air of prosperity. The Chinese intend to defy the police, notwithstanding the activity with which Sergeant McManus and his squad are working. They have worked out new schemes to elude the officers and believe | fe in their venture. Some of the lottery companies issue a simple name on a picce of blank paper instead of ction in the courts and an instance occurred Friday night in which Officer Reagan was obliged to choke a Chinaman to make him ‘‘cough up” a lottery ticket that he was trying to swallow. WILLING HANDS HELP ERECT PLANING MILL Members of t;r éanenters' Union Donate Their Services in a Good Cause, From early morning till late yesterday afternoon members of the Carpenters’ Union donated their services in behalf of the good work of erecting a new planing | mill for Searle & Hayman to replace the one burned to the ground about two weeks ago. About fifty carpenters work- ed on the building and they did not stop a moment, but kept right at it. Some of the men were busy packing in lumber, others erected the uprights and as soon as that was completed still others finish- ed the walls. The mill is located at Fourteenth and Harrison_streets, and from the appear- ance of the work done by the men yester- dey there need be litfle more done to complete the building. Some of those who worked on the structure were T. Tobin, W. G. Segrave, W. C. Farnsworth, F. M. Anderson, Frank Hayman, Charles Springfield, A. Tompkins and'J. Dunni- van. ———e— MORE HORSES AND MULES FOR THE PHILIPPINES Quartermaster’s Department at the Presidio Organizing Three Ad- ditional Wagon Trains.
