Kid! for God's sake come quick!” I thought it was a row in the social club upstairs; but when the cries were repeated 1 opened the door just in time to hear the report of a revolver up- stairs. Then a tallish fellow came racing down stairs five steps at a time. When he got to the bottom he sat down, just as if to rest himself. His head feli ‘on his shoulder, and I almost thought he had | gone to' sleep, he seemed Another man ran after him downstairs, | leaped over him as he sat there, and dis- | appeared into the street. By this time there was a crowd outside. I went to the man on the steps and saw he was dead rom a shot behind the left ear. I called to the men outside to come; that a man had been killed. Then Hall came to the head _of the stairs and called out: ‘I did it.

An important meeting of the members of the Produce Exchange was held yes- terday afterncon for the purpose of tak- ing some action in the proposed forma- | ticn In this city of a great commercial or- i VARIOUS BUSINESS INTERESTS J by many iness men of San Francisco for several weeks. The scheme Involves the dis- solution of the Produce Exchange and of the Merchants’ £xchange and the for- nation of an entirely new commercial body of greater scope to include in its | membership the present members of the | two organizations named and all kindred organizations in the city. The new com- mercial exchange will be formed on the » & 3 & 0 ] 3 = o 8 8 8 2 8 <3 B es s of New York, Chicago, Hamburg, and other business centers of sed that the new organization ve a home of its own fully in & with its importance and the meet- the Produce Exchange yesterday was partly for the purpose of discussing ry to secure an adequate and to take ac- £ on the pre- of the majority of those interested in the movement has been from the start to secure the property of the Merchants' Exchange on California street on which to erect a_new modern eig! ory building fully adapted to the needs to which it will be put and there is every indication that this plan will be carried to uccessful consummation. At yesterday’s meeting, which was execu- it w susced by Willlam Bab- ck, who presided, that nearly fosr thou- sand busine en are taking an active interest in the formation of the new organization which will embrace all the various mercantile interests of the cf now represented in independent bod No opposition to the project has thus far been developed, and as it is clearly some- thing that will be of vast benefit to the entire commercial community, none is ex- pected to materialize. At the opening of the meeting Secretary T. C. Friedlander announced that the object of the meeting was to take steps to secure an extension of the option on the Merchants' Exchange building from the association owning it. The Produce Exchange owns a controlling interest in the stwock of the Merchants' Exchange Assocfation and it is proposed that the new exchange shall purchase the prop- orty for $300,000. The representatives of the Merchants' Exchange were willing yesterday to extend the option for ninety days and the members of the Produce Ex- change decided to accept the offer. The new exchange will probably be | called “the S8an Francisco Merchants’ Ex- change” or “the Pacific Exchange of San Francisco ' Its mission would be to pro- mote uniformity In the customs and usages of merchants; to inculcate prin- ciples of justice and equity in trade; to facilitate the speedy adjustment of busi- ness disputes; to acquire and disseminate valuable commercial and economic in- formation and generally to secure to its members the benefits of co-operation in the furtherance of their legitimate pur- suite. The new exchange will take in as members all those engaged in shipping; the handling of grain, hay and produce; surance, banks, real estate agencies, stock and bond brokers, oll dealers, handlers of dairy produce and in fact all branches of commerce. Nearly 400 names have been subscribed for membership in the proposed exchange and as a seat in the new organization is fixed at $500, this will glve a capital of $200,000. Certain business men, whose de- sire is to see San Francisco in the front rank, have signified their intention to make up any deficlency in the $300,000 re- uired to purchase the present Merchants’ Sxchange buflding. These public-spirited men are willing to loan the money re- quired by the new exchange and will not ask any interest on the amount they will furnish until July, 1603. If at that time the required capital has not been sub- scribed by members then the men who have furnished the balance of the capital are to recelve 4 per cent bonds for the money they have furnished. The prime movers in the proposed ex- change are enthuslastic and confldent that San Francisco will soon have an or- ganized body of its varied business in- terests which will wield a power in the country and secure for San Francisco the many things it needs. The new build- ing which the exchange will erect will have a general meeting hall and board rooms for the many interests it will bring under one roof. The Chamber of Com- merce will also find accommodation in the building. There will be “pits” for the stock brokers, grain and oll .dealers ana the other floors will be devoted to offices, The committee on promotion consists of well-known business men and Includes G. W. McNear, Charles R. Allen. Willlam Dabcock. Andrew Carrigan, Warren D. Clark, W. J. Dutton. Willlam Haas, C. R. Havens, E. R. Lillenthal, M. A. New- hall, George A. Newhall, Juda Newman, S. P.

Grand Commander Miller Disap- proves of the Plan—Prepara- tions for an Imposing Af- fair Next April. —— Hiram T. Graves, recorder of California Commandery No. 1, Knights Templar, is in receipt of 2 communication from Grand Commander Frederick M. Miller in which the latter states that he is not in favor of the proposed competitive drill and the of- fering of prizes in connection with the enteriaining of the Grand Commandery at its forty-third annual conclave, to be held in tnis city in April, 1901 Upon the recommendation of a commit- tee consisting of Sir Knights Willlam Ed- wards, Robert B. Moore and E. 8. Bean of Golden Gate Commandery No. 16 and Sirs Henry B. Ream, A. A. Batkin and | ¥. P. Huribut of California Commandery it was resolved in regular assembly that the consent of the grand commander be asked for the drill to be engaged in by all commanderies of the jurisdiction outside of this city. It was also resolved that four prizes be offered for the competitive drill, and that the silver vase now in the asy- ilum of California Cominandery be given as the first prize. It was thought that this would be the fouudation for a drill corps in every commandery, Un-er date of Decenber 28, 1900, Grand Commander Miller wrote as follows: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 26th inst. requesting an intima- n the proposition of the arill s of California Commandery No. 1 and Golden Gate Commandery No. 16 offering | four prizes to be drilled for by the command- | eries outside of the city of San Francisco, said | arill to take place during the next annual con- clave of the Grand Commandery next April | Belleving it to be your desire to make the | next conclave one of great Interest surpassing those of the past, and also believing that this idea will be the means of creating new en- thusiasm In these commanderies and result in much-needed improvement in their tacti- cal work, 1 desire to say that I am in favor of it. 1 am heartily in accord with any proposition that will ‘result In Ereater pro- ficiency and that will stimulate the dormant energy that exists In some of our command- | eries. And who knows but what this may be the foundation for a drill corps in every com- I will grant the desired permission ame 1s officlally made by your several commanderies, provided the programme s ar- ranged so it will not interfere with the work | of the grand body. Subsequently wrote: g After an Investigation I am convinced that a co Il and the offering of prizes tion of my viewe o the grand commander mpetitive drill vould not be wise, and 1 thought that after a talk with your officers they might conclude to Withdraw the request made to me for permis- slon. I would much prefer they did so, and now offer the opportunity for so doing. 3 Up to the present time no one knows | what caused the grand commander to change his mind, as he has not assigned his reason, and the officers of the local commanderies have not heard from him | on that point. It is probable, however, that the request for the competitive drill will be withdrawn. Recorder Wi that Golden Gate Commandery has se- cured the Mechanics’' Pavilion for Satur- | day evening, April 20, for the purpose of niertaining the Grand Commandery. | California_Commandery has engaged Odd Fellows’ Hall for the three days of the annual conclave, and invitations will be ent to all the commanderies of the State well as to the officers and past com- anders to partake of Its hospitality. The affair will conclude with a ball, display drill and a grand banquet. The eminent commander has appointed as members of the executive committee to take the whole matter in charge Sir W. H. Frank Titus, chairmah; Sir Carroll Cook, vice chairman, and Sir Knights John P. Fraser, E. B. Church, B. N. Raw- ley, John Tonningsen, George F. Neal, Thomas L. Hill, T. H. Browne, Past Com- mander R. P. Hurlbut, H. B. Ream, J. H. Bennet, Thomas Morton, T. L. Hen- derson, G. H. Umbsen, C., W. Decker and Martin Jones. The prospects for a most successful and enjoyable entertainment are very flatter- ing and liberal subscriptions are being | freely made toward a fund for carrying out the designs of the executive commlit- tee. ST. PAUL OFFICIAL HERE : TO GET INFORMATION Chairman of That City’s Common Council Will Interview Phelan | on Municipal Problems. Dr. R. Schiffmann, chairman of the St. Paul City Council, arrived in this city last evening and is at the Occidental. He has come to the coast for the benefit of his family for the winter, and fncidentally to get points from Mayor Phelan on what the Mayor does not know about conduct- ing the business of a municipality. Dr. Bchiffmann was a member of a committee of five which came out here to meet the Thirteenth Minnesota Regiment on its re- turn from the Philippines. The St. Paul official says there are a number of important questions now before the legislators of his city, among them be- ing the matter of street railway service. He has been told that San Francisco has a model street railway system, and he in- tends to make an investigation and report to the St. Paul government. In May the entire Council of the Minnesota capital | will come to the coast on a junket. Dr. | Schiffmann has letters of Introduction to Mayor Phelan and other officials. —————— MRS, EMMET BURKE AND HER HUSBAND ARRIVE Honolulu Heiress Becomes the Wife of a Texas Section Foreman’s Son. Mr. and Mrs. Emmet Burke of Paris, Texas, are at the Occidental. They are enjoying their wedding trip. Mrs. Burke was formerly Miss Mamie Smith, an heiress of Honolulu. The husband is a son of a Texas and Pacific Rallway sec- tion foreman. A short time before the couple’s marriage It was currently report- ed here that the young woman had prom- ised her hand in marriage to a prominent San Francisco attorney, who has been her | legal adviser. e news of Miss Smith's marriage to Burke has naturally created some little comment here. She was not disposed to gpeak about the affair at the hotel last evening, declaring that her marriage was none of the public’s affair and that she didn’t propose to be disturbed by her gos- siping acquaintances. The couple are to embark for Honolulu on the next steam- | ship. They will make their home there. e Printers Object to Senate Biils. At a meeting of San Francisco Type- graphical Union No. 21 last night resolu- tions were adopted and coples ordered sent to the Legislature protesting against the adoption of Senate bill No. 58, which provides for the appropriation of $60,000 for the installation of typesetting ma- | chinery in the State printing office. Res- olutions were also adopted protesting against the passage of a bill which pro- vides for the appointment of the, State Printer by the Governor. e Scorned Woman’s Revenge. J. J.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Jan. 31.—A bill introduced in the State Legislature to-day |/ giving the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company the power to sell {ts big plant here at any time to any cor- poration created something of a sensation. It 1s not unitkely that this biil is one of the results of the recent conference in Richmond, at which, acording to reports, a combination of large American ship- yards was agreed upon. NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—The information the Newport News Shipbuilding and g‘:y‘dock Company has applied to the Vir- ginla Legislature for authority to sell its lant to another corporation was regarded h this city this evening as an indication that satisfactory progress had been made in the direction of combining the ship- building plants of this country by the pro- of that enter ks T es I Fiint has been making ef- forts in that direction for some time. Up to the present time no definite announce- ment has been made of the name or cap- italization of the company. Persons inter- ested, however, have stated that it was not conceived in opposition to the Cramp Shipbullding Company of Philadelphia, Which, however, will be the principal com- petitor, and the amount of stock has been placed 'at $60,000,000. 2 A meeting of persons interésted in the scheme was held at Richmond, Va., a few Weeks ago. Among those Who, were pres- ent were Charles R. Flint and Irving M. Scott, president of the Union Iron Works of San Franeisco, which bullt the battle- ship Oregon, the cruiser Charleston and as well as several war vessels for the Japanese Government. There were pres- ent also representatives of the Newport News Shipbullding and Drydock Compnn‘ o ewport News, Va.; the Harlan an Hollingsworth Ehipbuilding Company of ‘Wilmington, Del.; the g Shipbuilding Company of Richmond, Va.; the New Lonm Shipbuflding Company of New London, Conn.; the Bath Iron Works ot Bath, Me., and the Morris Shipbuilding Company of Camden, N. J. The scheme owes its origin to the ship subsidy bill. As stated by one of the pro- moters, the intention is to divide the ship- building work among the different con- cerns interested, so tfint instead of, as at P"”m- one yard being engaged in build- ng war vessels of two or three different types and also merchant vessels, plant will confine ftself to one class of work.

The closing night of the photographic salon drew a large crowd of camera lov- ers to the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. Since the opening of the salon, two weeks ago, almost 6000 people have visited the exhibition, an almost unique record at the institute. Owing to the gratifying success which has attended this first pho- tographic salon it has now been fully de- alded to repeat the experiment next year, and photographers prophesy an even more worthy show for the second effort in this direction. A concert was given last night under the direction of Henry Heyman, in which Walter G. Fonda, Willlam J. O'Brien, W. T. Young, Miss e T. Young, H. S.
