FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 1 FESTIVITIES PLANNED FOR DAY ABANDONED AND CITY GIVEN OVER TO SORROWFUL VIGIL Committees in Charge of Banquets and Receptions Announce That They Will Not Be Held. Mrs. McKinley’s Relations in Canton Surprised by Advices of Her Critical Condition, and London NSTEAD of a day’s festivities in celebration of the presence of the President as the city’s guest, and of memorable events by way of entertainment of distinguished guests, there was a hush of sor- row over San Francisco yesterday. The members of the Presidential party were in retirement, touched by the sad thought of an impending bereavement for their chief, and San Francisco had thought only of the sick lady of the White House and her grief-stricken husband. None of the receptions and banquets arranged for were held. When the| critical condition of Mrs. McKinley became known officers and committees of the various interested organizations | hastened into conference and sent out notices that their entertaifiment plans were abandoned. In the evening the illumination of the downtown streets was only partial, and | interest in it was hali-hearted. On pre- | vious evenings The Call building was| ad ed by thousands for the classic| beauty of its scheme of illumination, | but last night the building was not illu- | minated, out of respect to the sorrow that has come upon the President, in whose honor the illumination was pre- | pared. . The trip to Mount Tamalpais had | been definitely abandoned the evening | before, the members of the Cabinet hav- | Papers Express the Deepest Sorrow at the Sad News of Her S T ing announced that they could not be guests under the circumstances. | General James M. Gleaves and Colonel W. H. Jordan, president and | vice president respectively of the Ohio Society, had a consultation early in the | morning, and after Colonel Jordan had | made a trip to the Scott residence and | conferred with Secretary Cortelyou they met with members of the commit- | tee and decided to abandon the banquet | at the Palace Hotel, for which such| borate preparations had been made. | he women of the Ohio Society had | eviously decided not to attempt to give their banquet at the California Ho- | I for thedadies of the Presidential party. The events scheduled for the after—‘ noon were abandoned one by one, as those in charge had time to meet and reach such decision officially. These| events were the reception to have been | tendered at the Palace Hotel at 2:30| p. m. by the Sons and Daughters of the | American Revolution, the reception at | Native Sons’ Hall by the Mexican War | Veterans, Loyal Legion, Native Sons 2nd Native Daughters, and the reception | to have been tendered the ladies of the Presidential party at the Mark Hop- kins itute of Art.

Notice will be given those holding invitations when another date is selected. The committee in charge of the citi- zens’ banquet for to-morrow night have abandoned that function. | “THEO. Gol ( TRAVEL DIVERTED TO PREVENT NOISE Police Cordon Is Thrown Around the House Where Distinguished Sufferer Is Lying Near Unto Death. At noon Chief of Police Sullivan and Captain Wittman sent for a squad of | police and barred all travel on the blocks surrounding the house where Mrs. McKinley lies stricken almost unto death. Only the newspaper representa- tives were allowed to approach the Scott home, and the crowds that had congregated on the opposite side of the street were forced to take up their vigil | in the middle of the park facing the| house Secretary Cortelyou issued another bulletin at noon that informed the eager watchers for news that Mrs. McKinley not suffering, but was very low. At 1 p. m. Bishop Nichols of the Episcopal church arrived at the house and was admitted to the sickroom. He remained with Mrs. McKinley for some time and when he left he informed the newspaper representatives that the patient was in a critical condition but that the doctors still had hopes for her recovery. The Bishop's kindly face was pale and sad and his voice was choked with emotion as he told of Mrs. Mc- Kinley's condition. At 2 p. m. Secretary Cortelyou issued another bulletin, but its tenor was simi- lar to the previous one. During the next hour the physicians left the house and Secretary Cortelyou announced that a slight improvement had been noted in Mrs. McKinleys’ condition. Carriage after carriage drove up, and the police and detective guards were busily engaged in carrying cards into | | erious lllness ANTON, Ohio, May 16—It was learned this morning at the residence of Mrs. Mar- shall Barber, Mrs. McKin- ley’s sister, that the news of Mrs. McKinley’s serious ill- | ness, conveyed to the family by a tele- gram yesterday afternoon from the President, came as a surprise. The last i word heard personally by Mrs. Barber, mother of Miss Mary Barber, who is ac- companying the Presidential party, was | in a letter from her daughter telling of the visit at El Paso. In this it was said | that Mrs. McKinley was improving in | health and had said at El Paso that she {had never felt better. Shortly before noon to-day Mrs. Marshall Barber re- ceived a telegram from the President saying: “Ida rallied from sinking spell which she had at 5 o’clock this morning, and, while now fairly comfortable. she is crit- ically ilL.” ——— | | LONDON PRESS | HAS SYMPATHY Editorials Recall Presi- dent’s Words When SECRETARY CORTELYOU READING BULLETIN TO REPORTERS AT 9 P.

Two boys named Bert Turner, allas the | “Antioch Kid,” and Louis Miller were ar- rested last night by Police Officers Mul- | cahey and Davids and locked up n the “tanks.” They are accused of administer- ing knock-out drops to John Sexton, an old miner who lives in Fresno. Yesterday forenoon the youthful prisoners met Sex- ton on Market street and took him for a ride to Golden Gate Park. At their invi- tation he visited a saloon near the park and, after being served with a rlass of | beer, one of the boys Foured a portion of the contents of a phial of knockout drops in the glass. Realizing Sexton left his companions and boarded a passing car. Last night he again met | Turner and Miller, who were evidently | looking for him, and accompanied them to the Louvre, at the corner of Eddy and Powell streets. Suspecting that they in- tended to administer a larger dose of the deadly drops to him, he concluded to care= fully watch them. Just as they were served with the drinks Turner and Miller, seeing Officer Mulcahey _entering the place, started to make thelr escape. With the assistance of Officer David they were overtaken and placed under arrest. Tur- ner had a_bottle containing knockout drops with him, but when taken into cus- tody he smashed the bottle on the side- | walk after remarking that he did not in- tend to be “caught with the goods on | him.” Sexton, who had a large amount of money in his possession, is congratulat- ing himself that the police arrived in time to save him from being robbed. ——e———— CODFISHING FLEET DELAYED Harriet G Makes but 216 Miles in Forty-One Days.

CHICAGO, May 16.—A clash between the National Metal Trades Association .and the International Association of Machin- ists threatens to undo all the work that has been doné looking toward a peaceful settlement of the labor question so far as the Chicago district is concerned. The employers in the Metal Trades Association say they have conceded that nine hours shall constitute a day’'s work and that they will only too gladly agree to arbi- trate the questlon of wages, but that con- trary to Instructions, voted Saturday night by the machinists’ Chicago associa- tion, their agent, Roderick, has not yvet asked for arbitration. “The manufacturers are playing double,” sald Roderick. “They are trying to defeat us by using the independent manufacturers, and until we hear from them as to the result of their meeting to- day I cannot predict the action.” ‘WASHINGTON, May 16—Late advices received by President O'Connell of the Machinists’ Association indicate that more than 25 per cent of the employing ma- chinists “throughout the country have agreed to the demand for shorter hours and increased pay. Contrary to an opin- fon which prevails in some quarters, Pres- ident O'Connell says, there has been no new order issued from headquarters re- garding Monday’s proposed strike. He ex- pects a generai acquiescence in the order heretofore issucd. LOCAL BREVITIES.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 16.—At to- dar's meeting of the Relief Association | it was deemed necessary, owing to the contlicting reports sent through the coun- try by individuals, which tend to confuse the public mind, to create an authoritative charnel through which will be sent all in- | formation relating to the suffering peo- ple here.

Weed, Bishop of the Diocese of Florida, and the | Assceiated Press named as the channel of | transmission of the appeals and _state- | ments of the people.
