MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION Resolutions Regarding China Basin Are Adopted and Sent to the Legislature. The board of directors of the Mer- chants’ Association held a meeting yes- terday and unanimously adopted the fol- lowing petition to the Legislature in favor of ratifying the lease by the Board of State Harbor Commissioners to the San ancisco and San Joaguin Valley Rajl- Company, and a copy will be sent to e 'h member of the Senate and Assem- oly : Gentlemen: The harbor facilities of San Francisco have become inadequate to the rap- “idly growing shipping requirements of this port. The conditions of the lease recently granted by the State of California to the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Rallway Company for asportion of the water front of this elty will result in the extension of the facilities. We blieve, therefore, that the lease, dated November. 21, 1900, made by the Board of State Harbor Commigsioners to the San Franeisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Company is highly advantageous to the commercial inter- ests of this port. We would respectfully and earnestly request that you endeavor to have this lease ratified and approved by the State- Legislature at this sessien. Very truly yours, MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION. ————— CAPTAIN MILLER'S SUSPENSION SUS.

PRINCE CARNIVAL FORMS HIS COURT Charles Dickman Perfects Plans for the Mardi Gras Ball. —_— In spite of the mask prohibition at the bal masqué at Mark Hopkins Institute of Art next Tuesday evening, Bohemia fs Bo- the competent | hemia's Interests are in hands of one of their number, and no less | a personage than Prince Carnival, other- lv\i»r‘ known as Charles M. Dickman, art- Mr. Dickman has rlanned a highly 1 and what promises to be a most ful opening ceremony for ye gay | carnival. Though the gentleman is by | no means forward, he has not the least | intention of having his first parliamen- | tary effort lost in the confusion which ha invariably greeted the opening | speeches of the former Princes of Carni- val at these artistic festivals; therefore | will sweet harmony be programmed to| ist. A chorus of twelve good members of Bohemia will proclaim the approach of | royalty to the Carnival. The herald, not yet appointed, will chant his customary command of silence to the revelers, and the King himself will wield a good bari- 1 his maliden throne speech. The m | arrangements are In_the capable | charge of Watace A. Sabin. F. C. O., and it is expected this feature will add much to the beauty and gayety of the affair. Prince Carnival will be clad in the us- ual courtly fashion, with more than the usual color about the costume. A mag- nificent mantle, white silk tights, and what Mr. Dickman describes as a blue silk “corsage,” will be its chief features. One McKinnon, with no other discover- sble cognomen’ than ‘‘Binky,” will serve as jester for the evening, and a favorite Eohemian, with a serviceable baritone, is mentioned as the probable herald. The cecorations are to be as novel as the opening ceremony, and are coming on apace. For the first time in bal masque annals of the [nstitute, floral and mhz-rl vegetable decorations will be in_the ascendant. Some brilliant lighting effects on the opening pageant are planned, and the halls. are now a particolored = and hopeless mass of red and yellow bunt- ing, Chinese lanterns, electrie wires, be- lated landscapes, carnival beraldry. and all the other gallant prophecies of the gay. good time coming for Tuesday even- ing next. | $100.

William Millark Is Killed by Fluid, John Dresch May Die, and Several Others Suffer. —_— A remarkablé case of asphyxiation oc- curred in a residence at 529 Stevenson street, near Sixth, yesterday, in which a boarder, William Millark, suffered death and another boarder named John Dresch was 80 overcome that at a late hour last night his life was despaired of. The fam- ily of Willam Ervin, consisting of his wife, two sons and a daughter, were also overcome, but were removed in time to prevent fatal conseqiences. The strange part of the affair is that in the house there are no gas fixtures, the presence of the deadly vapor being due to a leak in the gas main in the street, through which the gas escaped and entered tne house through the sewer pipe, in whicn there was also a leak. Another strange feature is the fact that those who suffered mostly from the in- | halation of the monoxide roomed on the becond floor. This is accounted for by the fact that the gas rose to the floor above the entrance of the sewer pipe and gath- ered there. When the presence of the fluld was first discovered tne matter was reported, but no attention was paid to the complaint. “The family, fearing no serious conse- quences, paid no further attention to the matter and retired to rest at the usual time. Shortly afterward Mrs. Ervin be- came very ill and had to be carried out into the open air before she recovered. Ervin, though scarcely able to stand, summoned his eldest son, Willlam Ervin, and both went to investigate the cause of groans coming from other rooms. After breaking open the doors they found Millark and Dresch unconscious. The police were immediately notified and the two unfortunate men were removed to the Recelving Hospital, where every- lging possible was done to resuscitate them. | Millark died last night at 8:30, but at a late hour the efforts to restore Dresch had met with little success. Millark was about 19 years of age, and was em?(loyed by Strode ‘& Westerfeld. Dresch kept a restaurant at @1 Ellis street. Officer Deely Loses Star. The Police Commissioners met last night and as a result of their deliberations a number of licenses were granted, one of- ficer lost his star and another was fined | Officer Deely was the unlucky one, his star being taken from him on account of previous complaints and a final charge of reporting off late and being intoxicated. Officer Patrick Butler lost his month’s sal- | ary through his failure to report an at- tempted burglary. —_———— Dr. Rodley’s Case Argued. Argument in the case of Dr. J. Ellis Rodley, ex-Mayor of Chico, convicted in the Superior Court of perjury, was heard | before Chief Justice Beatty of the Su- preme Court yesterday and the case was taken under a iement.
