It was universally conceded by all of the speakers thei b change in the endowment laws of the or. der is imperative and that its present sys- tem is unsafe. No definite conclusion was reached in the matter, however, nor was any comprehengive plan offered for the desired change. It developed that there is a little opposition to a general plan of graded assessments, and the subject will occupy the attention of the delegates from all parts of the Pacific Coast at to-day's session. The meeting wilj t until Tues- day, when the officers for the ensuing vear will be elected. .

To my mind the Scott box was 0st as interesting as the play. In it was Walter Martin an Mary Scott and Caro Crockett and Law- rence Scott. My! but gdidn’t those younz folks look volumes. Both the girls weie gowned in white and Caro Crockett had a pink .rose in her hair that was a clos match to the dainty color in her sof round cheek. Mrs. Scott, who chapero the engaged couples, was gowned all white, and one found it hard to believe that she was the mother and nof the sister of the aristocratic-looking girl who is soon to be Mrs. Walter Martin. Bernhardt is not the only one that age cannot wither. WE g 1 wonder if there is a solitary handsome cup and saucer deft in this great. big city If there is it is because it is hidden awa in some dark corner and was out of the teach of the dear girls who spent the greater part of last week hunting for cups and saucers beautiful enough to do honor to those two dear flaneces, Caro gagement presents were so many sold and such fancy prices given for them. | wager that no other girls with solitaires on the third finger of .their left hands can point to such magnificent collections as thos that grace the Scott and Crockett te: tables.

She had her way, and now she can go 'round and say: “Didn’t 1 tell you so?” Maybe it wasn't a success! Why, that little store on Minna street was crowded from morn ing until late at night, and I never saw such a grateful lot of purchasers gs the ! poor that carried off for a mere song the many bargains offered.

Stente | INDORSES LEASE OF CHINA BASIN Committees of - Legislators and Merchants Go Over the Ground. ———— The Judiciary Committee sent out by the Legislature made an exhaustive ex- amination of the . China Basin question yesterday. The lease to the SBanta Fe was discussed pro and con, and when the whole situation had been laid before those on the tug Governor Markham everybody decided that the measure was a good one. The Governor Markham got away from Mission-street wharf about. 11:30 a. m. Among those on board were Harbor Com- missioners Kilburn, Harney and Herold, Secretary English, Chief Engineer Holmes and Chief Wharfinger Percy Henderson. The merchants’ | | | | | | committee on board | was composed of Frank J. Symmes, | (president), Captain John Bermingham, Wakefield Brown, R. Swayne, W. H. Roussell, Horace Davis, Gi Wormser, H. D. Loveland, A. Chesebrough, Willlam Haas and F.W. Van Sicklen. These gentle- men will leave for Sacramento to-day with the Judiciary Commmittee in order to lay the merits of the lease properly be- fore the Senate and Assembly. The Judiclary Committee is composed of Davis of Tuolumne, Selvage of Hum- “boldt, Lukens of Alameda, Smith ot Kern, Simpson of Los Angeles and Wolfe and Ashe of Ban Francisco. Besides these were Senators Devlin of Sacramento and Lardner of Auburn. The State (ug was hearl, late getting away from her dock, and then she headed for old fishermen’s wharf. A stop was made there to enable the committee to view the old Structure and thus give the members a chance to compare the new structures in course of construction at North Beach with it. The comment on all sides was that the ac- commodation as proj at North Beach would make the finest fishermen’s head- quarters in the world. From North Beach the Governor Mark- There more than an ators Selvage of Humboldt and Simpson of Los Angeles wanted to, know the why and wherefore about everything. Harbor Commissioner Harney was the principal spokesman, while Chairman Kilburn, who stood in the background, volunteered a suggestion whenever there was a hitch in roceedings. Commissioner Herold spent his whole time in answering ques- tions and he was kept busy from the time the tug left the wharf until she got back. After the China Basin business had been thoroughly thrashed out and Chief Enxlncer Holmes had lald down the law and explained the proposition Senator Lukens asked that the tug be run over poses half an hour the line on which the Santa Fe bullding a_breakwater or seawall. The Governor Markham was therefore run {rnn‘x'h the ':‘hd whn{t in > direct line 0 where the m Long wharf. o g it a d be erected over ‘omd-t Cnatindl Street T | the event of the seawall being built, the Commissioners said it would be without doubt. From China_Basin the party went to | the Hunters Point drydock and looked over the British steamer Heathcraig that is being cleaned and painted. From there the gentlemen were taken to the proposed site of the new dock, and Supervising En- | gineer Holmes explained the scope.and plan of the structure. It will be one of the largest docks in the world when com- | pleted and one of the finest.

Lewis, a shoemaker 35 years of age and out of work, committed suicide at 1020 Folsom street early yesterday morn- ing by turning on the gas. He went to the house Saturday night and asked the landlady, Mrs. Becker Adams, to be al- lowed to sleep on a table, as he had no money to pay for a bed. He was allowed to sleep on a table, and about § o'clock yesterday morming he was found dead by J. Schieb. The room was filled with gas. Lewis had attached a rubber tube to the burner, and after turning on the gas had placed the end of the tuvbe in his mouth. His body was taken to the Morgue. Lewis left two notes, one written in English and the other in Hebrew. In the former ‘he wrote: “Unable no more to fight for subsistence. Broken down in health, I took my life, although I was examined at the Mount Zion Hospital this week and they told me I was in the best of health. 1 want my friends to excuse me. I wish they would notify Mr. Hertz- berg from Howard street and Mr. Hodes, the buttonhole maker, from Mission street, to take care of my remains.” The note in Hebrew, translated, reads: “Brothers in Jewish faith, please take me and bury me as a Jew. Mr. Herta- berg and Mr. Hodes, in case you can’t do it, notify the Eureka Benevolent Society, as a sister of mine will come here Very soon. _When she comes let her know where I am. I was a Jew and remain a Jew as the rest of them.” A Robert McKenna, a painter, quarreled with his wife at their residence, 25 Lily avenue, early yesterday morning. He told her he could not live with her any longer and said he would take poison. He left her for a moment and came back with a glass in his band. He drank the contents of the glass, but she paid no attention to him, thinking he was only jesting till he began to vomit. Then she got frightened and ran for a doctor, who advised that her husband be sent to the Reeeiving Hospital. He was taken to the hospital in the ambulance and was at- tenged to by Dr. Thrasher, but died about 6 o'clock, and his body was taken to_the Morgue. McKenna had swallowed a dose of ar- senic.
