It was sald that the families had been reconciled and were prepared to jointly prosecute the Jacques family for kidnaping andggrand larceny. Attor- neys Cannon and Judkins appeared as special counsel for the prosecution, and Attorney George A. Knight represented the defendants. The evidence taken yesterday was | mainly “intended to prove that O'Hare had been for months incompetent to transact any business. The first witness FTER three weeks of litigation examined was Mrs. Margaret J. Knowles, Judge Coffey has appointed Mary Who now lives at Golden Gate, Alameda L. Gowdey guardian of the per- son and estate of her brother, Joseph O'Hare. weeks ago O'Hare resided with Thomas a retail merchant It was alleged by various petition- County. She formerly lived at 542 Jessie street, this city. She testified that shi had known Joseph O'Hare for the pasf twenty-five years. About two years ago he came to her house and engaged a room. Last September he had a ‘‘stroke’ and after that his memory failed him and he hardly knew what he was doing. She believed he was incompetent. In cross. examination she admitted that she had talked with Mrs. Gowdey about the old man, but added that all she wanted was to_see that justice,should be done him. Dr. C. J. Patton testified that he had been called in by Mrs. Knowles to at- tend the old man last October. He found him in a feeble condition mentally and physically and suffering probably = from He did not prescribe for him, as drugs would not do him any good. He did not think O'Hare was of sound mind. Dr. D. D. Lustig testiffied to having had a conversation with the old man on Frank Wells, was to the effect that the bull had been cruelly treated and almost dismembered by the two defendants, who had to kill it, as it was dying. 0 ex- perts were called to show that the defend- ants used the common method for leading the bull. Then Hanley suggested that the case be dismissed. Holbrook at once offered a vigorous ob- Jection and said that Hanlev had talked to Officer McCurrie of the soclety before the case was called and had asked him to agree to a dismissal, as he knew the de- fendants. McCurrie refused and said he would leave the case to the Judge to de- cide. McCurrie was called to the stand and corroborated Holbrook’s statement. Hanley said that he merely conversed with McCurrie to see what was in the case, as he always did, but made no sug- gestion that it should be dismissed tiu after the Judge had heard the evidence. The case was continued till to-day for further expert testimony. Secretary Hol- [ brook says that he will make formal ap. plication to the Mayor to remove Hanley | from office, as he has on other occasions shown a disposition to favor defendants. —_— Accident to Fire Lieutenant Bean.

FIND3 NEW PLAN 10 HELP STATE Board of Trade Wiil Reach Christian Visitors. Every person who has been elected a delegate to the coming convention of the Epworth League in this city and every other person who has made known to the committee in San Francisco that he or she will come to attend the proceedings will reeeive from the State Board of Trade a map of California, a picture of the city of San Francisco, the annual re- port of the State Board of Trade and an invitation to visit the exhibit which the California counties have made of their preducts in the ferry building at the foot of Market street. At least 20,000 persons will directly receive the matter and Cali- fornia will get therefrom a great adver- tisement, which will be addressed to those who are thinking and talking with their friends about their expected journey across the continent and their sojourn in this city. Acting Secretary Dennison of the State Board of Trade has secured from Rev. Thomas Filben a book containing thou- sands of postoffice addresses, which will make it possible to reach the delegates personally. Mr. Dennison is now engaged in addressing communications to each in- dividual, with the assistance of the entire office staff of the board. To maké certain that the cards of invitation to see the county exhibits in the ferry building will be retained by the delegates Mr. Dennison has had the directory of the principal points of interest In San Francisco printed on the reverse side of the cards, thus fur- nishing much timely information to the expected visitors. In compliment to the Epworth League the annual report of the State Board of Trade has been printed in the league's colors—red, yellow and white. Literature relating to the counties of Cal- ifornia will be distributed to all visitors during the Epworth League Convention, when there will probably be 100,000 stran- gers In the city from the East.

The hours of labor were fixed at from 7'a. m. until 6 p. m. with one hour for lunch, making ten hours for a workday. The hours now run from twelve to six- teen. One-half extra will be charged for overtime and holiday work. The scale of wages contains many items and is a slight increase over the present scale. With the hours of labor reduced the in- crease will be about 20 per cent. This scale will be adopnted by the union at a meeting Saturday night. ——e——————— Bootblacks to Form Union. The bootblacks held a meeting last night at Garibaldi Hall for the purpose of dis- cussing measures preliminary to the formation of a union. In consideration of the cooks’ and waiters’ strike, which at present is absorbing the entire attention of the Labor Council, it was decided to defer taking definite action for the pres- ent. The bootblacks were a unit in favor of advancing the price of a shine to 10 cents as soon as the organization is com- pleted. They have a grievance against the shoe stores which give free shines to their customers, and many denunclatory speeches were made. Laundry Drivers Install Officers. The members of the Laundry Drivers' Association held an enthusfastic meeting last night at Bnal B'rith Hall and ef- fected permanent organization. The new- ly elected officers were installed. MAY 8, 1901. WAITERS GIVEN UNION SUPPORT Bakers Are Prepared to Walk Out This Morning. Carriage Workers Also Quit. Mayor Phelan Calls Conference. <> Upon the results of a conference to be held in the office of Mayor Phelan at the City Hall this afternoon depends in a great measure a solution of the-difficul- tles surrounding the labor problem in this city. This meeting was instigated at the request of the leaders of the labor move- ment, and the men representing the retail Q_;Ad wholesale interests of, the city are pected to attend. A general exchange of opinions, it is hoped, will result in pro- ducing harmény between employers and employes. Meetings of labor organizations were held last night all over the city. In nearly every instance sympathy was expressed for the striking cooks and waiters and resolutions imposing fines upon members patronizing ‘“‘unfair” houses were adopt- ed. In other cases walkouts were ordered. The bakers as a_body decided to go out this morning, and the Pacific Coast Asso- ciation of Cooks, which includes some of the chefs in the principal hotels and clubs, auc}(ned resolutions to stand in with the strikers. With the bakers and the cooks out it looked decidedly blue for the res- taurant men at midnight. All was jubilation at the headquarters of the Cooks' and Walters' Alllance at B’nai B'rith Hall. More than a hundred members of the original Cooks’ and Wait- ers’ Association, after the result was an- nounced, marched up Market street, vo- cifercusly cheering. At the meeting of the strikers, as soon as the result was announced, it was wildly cheered. The bakers’ delegation was accorded a similar reception. At the meeting of the restau- | rant proprietors in the Shiels building all was gloom. During the day three restau- rant proprietors made assignments and one place was closed under attachment. Chairman Johnson declined to discuss the situation. Carriage Workers Strike. The three branches of the carriage trade —blacksmiths, painters and builders—held a meeting at thian Castle and decided to walk out this morning. Demands as to hours and pay have been conceded by their employers. The single reservation made was, according to President H. M. Black and Secretary Nugent, that the em- ployers should have the right to engage those whom they chose without regard to union affiliations. The men refused this | concession and will go out. | . At the close of the meeting of the'Cooks and Waiters at B'nal B'rith Hall the fol- lowing statement, sfgned by National Or- | Banizer Pierce and Secretary Rosenberg | of the L press: abor Council, was given to the | Faster and faster this city is moving toward the most critical period In its history. Broad minds and coolness can avert a general strike | of the workers of the city. The San Fran. | exhausted the services of its best men to pre serve peace in this community, but their e forts scemed to have failed. and failed be. cause the fiat has gone forth ‘from ths em- ployers of this city that the trades unions | must be disrupted. They never will Prog- | ress will not nor cannot stop. The trades | | unions stand for progress. If the employers persist the trades unionists will insist and the Browth of this city will be retarded for years. ‘We here give warning. Demand “Hands Off.” We again ask “hands off” from the fight of the cooks and waiters for the shorter work day and one day's rest in seven. We ask ‘“hands oft” from the demands of the Carriage Work. ers’ unions. Their employers were ready to enter into agreements to recognize thelr em. ploves' right io "organize, but Front street hreatened and to-morrow morning 300 carriage blacksmiths, painters and woodworkers Wil | not return ‘to thelr work. And because the | union bakers could not any longer work in bakerles with ' restaurants connected | where Japanese took the place of union cooks and waiters, 130 union bakers quit work to-night. The threats of the employers to disrupt the trades unions have caused this. And the fates only know bow many workers may be out a day hence. The Labor Council has made its last effort to prevent & general strike. The | executive officers of the council and some. of the principal unions waited the other day on the Mayor and urged upon him (o arrange a Joint conference of the principal emplovers of | the city and representatives of orsanized labor. | That conference will bring peace or industriai | war. We want peace, and we want peace now. | The' chief executive of our natlon nears our ! city more than ever. But human endurance has reached its limit. On all hands the em- ployers are forcing the lssue and on their heads must rest the responsibllity. 3. D. PIERCE, ED ROSENBERG. The Journeymen Butchers' Association has decided to allow its unemployed mem- bers to act as pickets for the striking walters. The Amalgamated Woodwork- ers’ International Union will impose & fine of $10 and the San Francisco Drug Clerks' ‘Assoclation a fine of $5 on all members found patronizing unfair houses. Building Trades Council Speaks. The_following_statement, presented by Vice President Brandon, was adopted by a unanimous vote at the meeting of the | executive committee of the Building Trades Council iast night: ‘We learn from articles published in the press of Sunday and also to-day of statements made by representatives of the San Francisco Labor Council that certain differences existing be- tween the above mentioned councils and some | eisco Labor Council for some weeks past has | ADVERTISEMENTS.

In the press of to-day we learn that certain interests are brought to bear which can pre- vent a general strike. Because of the manner in which those who are credited with the above mentloned statement have endeavored to show in the past few weeks, through misrepresenta- tion, their authority in labor matters over which they have no control, the public is led to belleve that their jurisdiction extends over the entire labor fleld of this and other cities of this State and in the absence of a definition of their position by themselves it becomes in- | cumbent upon the Building Trades Council, in behalf of the thousands of members and the best interests of California to show to the resi- dents of this and other cities of this State and also to those who are about to become our guests that the bullding industry and those en- gaged-in it are not governed, controlled by, ad- vised, dictated to or directed by Messrs. Rosen- berg and Plerce, who are now recelving the at- tention of the public as the directing element because of the persistency with which the afore- said gentlemen connect themselves with matters over which they have no control. That it is again necessary for the Building Trades Council to declare to the people of this State that the building trades are in perfect harmony with their employers in every depart- ment of the building industry and will not allow any outside or foreign influence to disrupt the aforesaid_harmonious relations, nor will it brook any influence from anybody purported to represent any prerogative power. Recent prints concerning the realty market and bullding in- dustry in this city have had a damaging effect by reason of their reference to labor troubles and it is in order to obviate any impression that might have gained ground through this erroneous statement that the Building Trades Council desires it to be understood that the building Industry of San Francisco, and all en- gaged therein, were never enjoying a more harmonious relation than they are to-day.
