O’Connor made it evident that he was not going to testify to anything he did not understand, nor be “bulldozed,” as he expressed it. He and Foote had many a passage of argu- ment, and the attorney won no victory to crow over. The belibs told of answering a call to get & cocktail ahd lemonade for some guests. He went first to the bar, then to the kitchen, to get limes from Trewhella, Trewhella went to the storeroom to get the limes. He had reached the landing and was going into_the old kitchen, or bakery, when the first shot was fired. O'Connor saw Trewhella stagger, then heard another shot, and the wounded man fell to the ground. O'Connor then stood on the top step. Glaze then came out of the kitchen d a revolver in his hand, and sald, “If any one asks you who snot him, tell them he shot himself.” He then walked away and O'Connor ran to Trew- hella’s side to help him to his feet. O'Con- nor said Glaze was facing Trewhella when be fired the shot. Of this he was certain, Foote's first question was if O’Connor knew a man named Merchant, Who sup- plied meat to the hotel. In reply to the attorney's interrogation as to whether it was a fact that he had told Merchant he knew nothing of the shootine. O'Connor sald he had not done so. O'Connor was yery positive that only two shots wera fired. Alfred Jaggl, a tailor for Reed & Son, whose windows overlook the alley, and Fred Menz, another tailor, told of eeeing Glaze come into the alleyway and unload his pistol. They heard five shots fired. John J. Wrens also heard the five shots an Glaze unload_the pistol. The porter at the Windsor, Harry B. Habens, testified to running to Trew- hella’s aid when he heard the shots. He said Trewhella lay with his back to the baker shop. Edward C. McCormick, the druggist, who was called in, told of the wounds he TEACHERS VOTE MORE AID T0 SICK By-Laws Amended to Abolish Time Limit on Payment of Benefits. Business of an exceedingly important nature was transacted at the semi-annual meeting of the Teachers' Mutual Aid So clety, held in Sherman-Clay Hall yeste: day afternoon. The proceedings were en- livened by frequent spirited discussions and lively exchanges of opinion. The first matter of importance which came before the meeting was final action on an amendment introduced by Caroline L. Hunt providing for an increase in the amount of sick benefits payable to a mem- ber in case of sickness. The by-laws pro- vided that after $300 at the rate of $10 per week had been paid during a period of sickness benefits should cease. The amendment was to the effect that after that time a member should receive $5 until the end of her sickness. The amendment ¥as finally adopted, but not without a valiant fight on the part of its supporters. 1f the foregoing amendment occasioned a lively discussion, it was nothing in com- arison with what followed when Mrs. ary Prag proposed to create a fund for the care of the incurable members of the society by setting aside 10 cents from the monthly dues of each member. At this proposal a whole volume of schoolroom eloquence burst forth. All present commended the spirit of the amendment, but disagreed as to the mode of accomplishing its purpose. Some ar- gued that such a drain on the finances of the society would send it into immedlate bankruptcy, and that the dues should be raised in order to furnish the necessary funds. Others claimed that such a course was out of the Erovmce of an aid soclety and suggested the formation of an auxii- fary branch for the specific purpose of caring for incurables. The discussion continued for fully an hour, during which { many eloquent words were spoken in | favor of the amendment and it was event- ually adopted.

The defense will be- gin its case on Monday morning next. | | pistol ey STATE SENATORS ARE EARLY BIRDS Leave at 7:30 This Morning for San Quentin to Investigate. —— Six members of the State Senate and five members of the Assembly arrived in the city last night on their way to San Quentin to investigate the “jute mill” scandal. Senator Belshaw, chairman of the Senate committee, hinted to his flve colleagues before they left Sacramento that this was no pleasure jaunt and that he would expect them all to_take the 7:30 boat this morning for San Quentin. Belshaw deplores the fact that he and the other members of the committee will be handicapped in their investigation by lack of time, but he claims that he wiil have as thorough an investigation as pos- sible. The programme laid out is for the Senators to leave early this morning for San Quentin and return on a late train this evening. On Sunday they will meet and preparc a report which they will pre- sent to the Senate on Monday, ‘The Prison Directors were to hold a reg- ular monthly meeting to-day at Folsom, when they expected to hear the report of Expert MacLaren on the amount of Wal- den's peculations. Whether the visit of the Senators and the Assemblymen to San Quentin will postpone this meeting has not been learned. The committee appointed by the Assem- bly will meet at Assemblyman Schies- inger’s office in the Claus Spreckels build- ing at 9:30 this morning, when it will be decided on what lines to pursue the in- vestigation. The committee will take the 11 _o'clock boat for San Quentin. The Senate committee is composed of Senators Belshaw (chairman), Nutt, Nel- son, Plunkett, Smith, Greenwell and Tyrrell of Nevada. The Assembly committee consists of J. B. Irish (chairman), Martin Brady, George McLaughlin, Beért Schlesinger and T. E. Savage. In the Divorce Court. Carolyn B.

COMMERCIA IRE 5 MANIFESTEL Destruction of Oriental Export Traffic Is the Oause. Merchants Have Not as Yet Formu- lated a Plan to Meet Rate Sit- uation, but Are Think- ing Hard. g The commercial community of San Francisco pondered angrily yesterday over the facts exclusively published in The Call concerning the rates on freights from New York, Chicago, St. Louls and other Eastern and Middle West points to the Orient. The merchants saw clearly that giving the East lower rates to the Orient than San Francisco has, when the sea carriage from this port is added to the overland rate, must effectually de- stroy any export trade that belongs to San Francisco under natural conditions, if the rates are maintained. “It is all wrong,” sald Willlam Cluff, president of the Associated Wholesale Grocers, “and something ought to be done if any measure can be devised to bring relief. I confess that I do not see the way out yet. Consequently I cannot dis- cuss the situation as fully as I might otherwise be able to do. All the trans- continental roads and their steamship connections to the Orient are in the ar- rangement. I have heard of talk of some sort of an organization to pave the way for doing something, but do mnot know anything about what plan might be adopted. San Francisco will meet bitter disappointment in failing to secure the Oriental trade, which seemed to be safely ours until the rates méntioned in The Call this morning were put into effect. Our side of the case ought to be fully presented.” Jacob Levi Jr. sald that the Oriental rates would, if kept in force, cut off San Francisco from exporting to China and Japan on its own account. Certain com- mission houses that represent Eastern lines of goods might not be much affect- ed, only it would be impossible for San | Francisco to bring Eastern goods here and then send them to the Orient in com- petition with the through rates from New York, Chicago, St. Louis, etc. From the conditions here existing, the relative scarcity of manufacturing enterprises in San Francisco and also because of the fact that the great bulk of goods in which San Francisco merchandises must be brought here, it is clear that a deadly blow has been aimed at San Francisco's dream of becoming a distributing center for_the trade of the Orient. W. R. Wheeler said that under the ex- isting conditions San Francisco's antici- pation of being a large factor in the Ori- ental trade was evidently fallacious. He deplored the facts. He was not of the opinion that the transcontinental lines would be easily persuaded to change their policy. As he understood the matter, thelr action was based on the claim that | they made the rates to compete with the | Suez canal. He supposed that they made | the rates as high as they thought they could to Oriental points and still retain the business, for it was natural to believe ental rates were made without reference to the rates to San Francisco from the | East. To malke a market for California manufactured articles in the Orient #t would be necessary, first, to get a large | enough home market. The unit of cost diminished inversely to the volume of manufacture and that is what El\'es'}ge o Eastern manufacturer is near the center | | they could out of the business, The Ori- | Bitter realization of the effect of the acts of the rail carriers was manifested on every side yesterday. No definite ac- tion was taken. There is little doubt that the intercsts of San Francisco and of the coast will be represented at the next meet- ing_of the Transcontinental Association at Milwaukee. There are several organ- izations which have in the past interested themselves in the subject of freight rates. including the Pacific Coast Jobbers' and Manufacturers’ Assoclation, the Pacific Coast Metal and Hardware Association and the Associated Wholesale Grocers. Some one or all of these bodles may be heard in protest against the rates that will surely deprive San Francisco and other Pacific Coast points of any chance to export to any extent to the Oriental countries. None of them has acted as yet. The question is one of such great impor- tance that no hasty move is likely to be Owing to the great disgust and exas- peration of the commercial community at the - actlon of the transcontinental lines some new organization may result. The talk in favor of such an organization was stronger yesterday than on the day pre- ceding. MRS. BELL WINS CASE IN JUSTICE'S COURT Declared Not Responsible for Debts of Children Who Left Home ‘Without Cause. The affairs of the Bell family were agaln aired yesterday In Justice of the Peace Long's court, when the suit brought by Joseph Alexandre against Mrs. Theresa ’ Bell was on trial. Alexandre sued to re- | cover the sum of $252 25 for board, cloth- | ing and sundry articles noted in a bill of particulars and furnished Robina, Muriel and Eustace, minor children of Mrs. Bell. In his complaint Alexandre alleged that the three children had abandoned their mother with just cause, as they were com- lled to leave her home because she neg- ected to provide necessary articles for their welfare and comfort. Mrs. Bell in her own behalf denled that she neglected to provide for the children. She testified that their half-sister, Marie T. Bell, had induced them to rebel against thelr mother’s authom{ in the hope that Marie would be appointed their guardian and thus have the custody of large sums of money from the estats of the late Thomas Bell, In fact, Marie only with- drew her application to be guardian after Judge Coffey declined to allow her $20,000 out of the estate. Mrs. Alexandre testified that when the children came to her their wardrobe was very limited. Their wardrobe consisted of many fancy clothes, but none that were, useful.” In rebuttal Mrs. Bell testified that she had sold her books and mort- gaged her property to buy necessaries for the children. Judge Long decided in her favor on the ground that there was no showing made that the children had left her with just cause. —_————— MINISTER BUCK COMES HERE FOR VACATION United States Representative to Japan Says He Likes the Orient and Its People.

Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a tba}lsand ap- proaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying, and sometimes painful symptoms. 3 Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until i§ seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, as if the heart were going to stop for good, are only a few of the symptoms of 2 dangerous nervous trouble.

PINEHAM : — I have been sick fora long time. I was taken sick with flooding. All my trouble seemed to be in the womb. I ache all the time at the lower part of the womb.

Ihad been in bed for ten weeks when I began taking your Vegetable Compound, but after using it for a short time I was able to be up around the house. The aching in the lower part of womb has left me. The most that troubles me now is the flowing. That is not so bad, but still there is a littl every day. Iam not discouraged yet, and shall continue with your medicine, for I believe it will cure me.” — MRs. CHARLOTTE Jouxsox, Monclova,Ohio. April 13, 1900 I send you this letter to publish for the benefit of others. I was sic about nine years so that I could not~do my work.
