The most important transaction in silks *his season. Hale’s again to the front. After all who's better to do a thing like this than Hale's? Here’s an offering of silks that stands without a precedent in local selling. Half prices at the very height of the season, and not an antiquated stuff, either, not an off shade, not a passe pattern, not a bit of it imperfectly woven—No! All the Popular and Not a Pattern Shades Are Here, That’s a Season Old. Ever read such stirring silk news? The mill men’s spring business is over—most of them are already weav- ing fall stuffs. Weeks ago we dispatched the chief of our silk staff East so that he'd be right on the ground when the wind-up bargains came—and get ganization of Washing Circles. Cleanliness mey be a near relation to godliness in some localities, but in San Francisco just at present the two are estranged. Laundry rates have gone bounding upward, and those who would be cleanly are giving vent to many un- godly expressions. John Chinaman is “it” at this writing, because he hasn't advanced far enough in the ways of American civilization to know the value of organization, but should he become enlightened and form a “Chinese Washermen's Union” clean collars and cuffs will be a luxury, pajamas a dream and sheets and pillow cases will have to do duty for more than the ordinary num- ber of days allotted. Wages Go Up 5 Per Cent, Bates 50. Heretofore it was cheaper to send out the “washing” than to have it done a(‘ home. has been changed by the ad- Yamoe of washing and ironing prices by the principal sieam laundries of the city in order to meet the demands granted their employes. Now somebody has to| ay for the advance, and the customer nas been selected to bear the burden of man who needs a clean shirt. he la workers claimed that the creased wages mean an advance of less 1 than 6 per cent. even the proprie order to keep things of the laundries have advanced prices anywhere from 2 to 50 per cent. The greatest increase is made on work that requires the least skill, the largest amount of manual labor. A sliding scale of prices has been adopt- ed. To launder negligee shirts, which were usually regarded as soft snaps, costs now from 10 to 15 cents c and e negligee shirt usually flourish at the 0t matter whether r without cuffs—all ash together and come out Tom those who wear the curious robe de nuit combination, known as pajamas, a slightly less proportionate and heavier impost of washing duties has been ex- acted. Twenty cents was formerlly the price demanded for the cleansing of this garment. Now it costs a quarter.

S S Two singular and daring robberies have been committed in the Park Museum within the past two days. Bhowcases were robbed of thcir contents in broad daylight by thieves who risked detection by visitors and employes who frequent the bullding. Shortly before 4 o'clock Friday after- noon the janitor of the museum discov- ered the slide of one of the showcases open and the contents of the case gone. Yesterday morning he was startled to find that the thieves had returned and robbed two more showcases in the immediate vicinity of the first one broken into. Among the specimcns taken were mala- | chite, pyrite, barite, carnelian and yellow | quartz found on Pescadero beach, mosaic, milky quartz, striped agate, white firei opal, jasper pebble, glassy quartz, blue | turquoise, native copper, pyrope, garnets, silver and galena ore, imitation emerald, five imitation amethyst cameos, aquama- rine agate cameo, amgthyst, onyx cameo, apple green tourmal:ne, section of crystal, | tiger eye cameo, gold quartz, crocidolite and forty Cuban pustage stamps. Among the exhibits taken from Wells, Fargo & Co.'s collection were a small derringer pistol, a small sawed-off six- shooter, two Colt’s revolvers, smail sawed-off pistol and six cartridges carried by George W. Haggett. Detectives Harper, Dinan and Wren have been detailed on the case. CORONER’S VERDICTS CENSURE TWO PEOPLE Elevator Builders and Mrs. Dora Fuhrig Are Blamed for Deaths of Two Persons.

Some progress was made yesterday to- ward forming an organization in-which all producing oil companies in the State will be invited to become members. A committee appointed at a conference held Friday evening at the Palace Hotel met in the offices of the Monte Cristo Oil Com- pany and proceeded to consider what could be done. This committee consisted of the following named representatives of oil companies: B. F. Brooks, represent- ing the Senator, Aztec, Chicago Crude, Central Point, Consolidated and Toltec companies; Leon Guggenhime, Imperial 01l Company; Messrs. Jenks and Mauseau, the Four Ofl Company; J. H. Blood -of the Sterlin; W. M. Noxon of the Globe and Eu- clid companies, Messrs. Jacobs and Mason of the Alma, Black Jack and Wolverine; J. 3. Scrivener of the San Joaquin Valley Oil Company, J. L. Mitchell of the Clare- mont and Linda Vista companies, Isaac Strassburger of the Kern River, John Ear- 1y of the Revenue Oil Company and Henry Ach of the Monte Cristo Company. There were also present representatives of other companies, but not as members of the committee. A sub-committee was appointed to pre- pare details of the plan of orgafization to be submitted to the general committee and also contracts and agreements to be signed by all producing companies that become members of the organization. The general committee will meet within a week. The principal object of the new organization, as explained by Henry Ach and others, is to make it the selling agent for all the fuel oil producing companies of the State north and south of Tehachapi. The association will appoint ap executive committee to fix the price of oil from time to time and to sell the oil, and also to apportion the sales among the members of the association. Henry Ach says that the assoclation will be in a position to sell ofl to all comers. The reports concerning production have been exaggeratzd. In his view of the sit- uation there is not any more than enough oil now produced to meet the present de- mand, which is rapidly increasing and will keep pace with the production, for oil is now being sold largely outside of the ka, e in sand the Hawilan KILLS HIMSELF WITH A PISTOL Jacob F. Scherer Makes Careful Preparation for His Death. ‘The body of Jacob F. Scherer was found by Police Officer Greggains yesterday morning in the brush on the ocean beach about 100 yards south of the Olympic Club pler. A bullet hole in the right temple and a revolver found lying on the ground by the side of the body told the story of a suicide. On the body of the dead man was found the following letter, very neatly written ‘with pen and ink on a letterhead of the Central Hotel: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 10, 1901. In case of my death the Journeymen Stone Cutters’ Association of San Francisco, nf whom I am a member in good standing, will take care of my remains. I want my body to be cremated, the cost to be defrayed from my death benefit, and all over and above cost to be sent to my wife, Mrs. D. A. Scherer, Twen- ty-fourth street and Mensington avenue, Kan- sas City, Mo. My life is insured in the Bankers' Life Asso- clation of Des Moines, Iowa, and paid up to date. - The Columblan Banking Company is one of their depositories in this city. In order that my wife may get the amount without ufinecessary trouble or delav, I would like for Mr. M. McGrath, Mr. Tallmadge, Mr. Reece, Mr. Willlam Veitch to send a sworn statement a8 to identitv of body to my wife at Kansas City. Hoping that these my last wishes will be ‘carried out, I am, with goodby to_ all, JACOB F. SCHERER. On the left hand margin of the letter, written in lead pencil, was the following: Remove my body to the Morsue and notify Mr. M. C. McGrath, proprietor of Central Ho- tel, 330 Third streét, who will see that the Stone Cutters’ Association is informed. The body was removed to the Morgue and an inquest will be held. Before Scherer took his life he gathered many of his personal belongings and plac- ing a tag on each left them for his friends. The tag on the watch was marked as fol- “Send this old key-winder to my fe; not for its intrinsic value, but as something to remember me by.” —_— Through Train Service.

Bond said that he arrived from -Seattl Friday morning and engaged a room at 12 Turk street. He had some loose coin with him and the gold dust, which he kept ia a canvas bag attached to his waist belt. He started out that night to see the sights. He remembered going into the saloon kept by ‘“‘Spider” Kelly at the cor- ner of Eddy and Mason streets, where he had several drinks. Hc got friendly with thHe barkeeper and showed him the bag of gold dust. The barkeeper advised him to leave the gold dust with him for safe keeping, offering to give him a receipt for it, 'so that he could call and get it when he _was sober. I wanted to be foxy,” said Bond, “and told the barkeeper that I was from the Klondike and thought 1 was old enough to take care of myself and the canvas bag. I had some more crinks in the saloon and treated some of the men who were standing at the bar, who, I think, over- heard my conversation with the bar- keeper. I must confess that I was very drunk, but after I got nome I missed the gold dust. I immediateiy ~ent out and told the first policeman I met that I had been robbed and he adlvised me to report the fact to police headguarters.” Bond did not attach any blame to ‘he barkeeper, whi wanted to_be his friend. but he was sure that one of the men with whom he drank at the bar robbed him Wwhile pretending to be nis friend. Captain Seymour detailed Detectives McMahon and Riordan on the casa. “Major” Lewis Is Insane.
