It is hoped almost | to make it compare with the immense gathering of the world’s Endeavorers that met in this city in 1897 A complete programme for every day of the convention has been prepared and all the little details that mean nothing in themselves, but are so essential in achiev- ing the general result, have been taken in charge by committees that have worked -— l | | P as committees of that kind do not often work. The programme has been the spe- cial care of J. M. Warren of Santa Bar- bara. Rev. Dr. Charles A. Dickinson of Sacra- mento will preach the convention sermon, and Dr. Clark of the Williston Church of Portland, Me., will also address the body. The Williston Church is where the first Christian Endeavor Society was formed. The general theme of the convention will be “Christ Perfection,” and it is hoped the discussion of it will develop the evangelistic and missionary spirit which has characterized the work of many of the leading societies recently.

L e o e e s CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF VALLEJO | CHAMPIONS MARE ISLAND NAVY-YARD The Chamber of Commerce of the city of Vallejo is taking active steps to secure the work of repairs on ships of the navy for the workmen of the Mare Island Navy Yard. ber of Commerce that influence has been brought to bear so that repair work which should come to Mare Island Navy Yard is diverted to Eastern yards. The attention.of the Secretary of the Navy was called to the facilities of the Mare Island yard when that official was here and a new board of yards and docks was appointed to adjust the differences that exist between the Government and the contractors for the new docks at Val- lejo, as the dispute has retarded the con- struction of the docks. Yesterday the Chamber of Commerce of Vallejo forwarded resolutions. to the Secretaries of the Navy and War De- partments, asking that ships now home- ward bound be sent to the navy yard at Mare Island for repairs. The California delegation in Congress has also been asked to take steps in the matter, and each member has received a copy of the resolutions, which are as follows: Whereas, The Navy Department had order- ed the Baitimore, Newark, Olympla, Cincin- nati and ‘the Brooklyn to the Mare Island Navy Yard, which orders were subsequently revoked and said ships sent to the Eastern vards for repairs: and Whereas, The Mare Island Navy Yard is a first-class yard, and is as fully equipped to bullé and repair ships as any other yard in United States. That the quality . of the work and the repair work done at said yard is second to mone in the United States, as the records of the Navy Department will show; also that the work is done cheaper and better at the Mare Island Navy Yard than it is done in any other yard in the United States; and Whereas, The Navy Department’s policy of third and fourth class ships to sending only Mare Island Navy Yard for repairs is work Of a home production _ - Stand by the Standard trade mark—it stands for a white labor, Celifornia made shirt—it stands as a guarantee of the excellence of Shirts. neck of every Standard Shirt. for a shirt of quality—it stands fabric, fit and finish of Standard Your dealer selis them, look for the label—it’s on the For sale by all leading furnishing and dry goods stores.

(Attest) THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE F THE CITY OF VALLEJO. (Signed) FRANK R. DEVLIN, Presiden GEORGE_J. CAMPBELL JR., Secretary. Whereas, The Mare Island Navy Yard is to- day one of the best equipped yards in the United States, and is now prepared to build ships or to repair them for less money than they can be repaired for elsewhere by con- tract, and glve a better quality of work, and 4t has been stated that Mare Isiand Navy Yard cannot handle the repair work on the trans- ports for lack of men and facilities; that the War Department having asked the Navy De- partment to have the Mare Island Navy Yard bid on the repair work on the transports Sheri- dan and Sherman, and the Mare Island Navy Yard having bid on the repairs of the sald transports, did bid to rhake the repairs for less morey than the contractors bid on the same; the War Department gave the contract for repairs of the said transports to the con- | tractors at a greater price than was asked by the Mare Ieland mechanics and allowed them a greater length of time than was asked by the Mare Island mechanics, and the work on one of the transports is now being delayed by the contractors on account of the strike in @ civiimieiieimimieiimieieieidiei @ MUST PROVIDE BEITER FENDERS FOR THE CARS The Supervisors’ Judiclary Committee recommended yesterday the .passage of ar ordinance repealing all ordinances in force compelling the equipment of cars and dummies with fenders and brakes. Tkis will permit the State law to govern with regard to brakes and fenders. The Bcard of Public Works was also instruct- ed to investigate how far the present or- dinances are being complied with. The difficulty with the city ordinances is that the companies are allowed to use fenders sanctioned by the Board of Su- pervisors. This was used as a defense in all cases where people injured by the cars sued for damages. The repeal of the ordinances will com- pel the street railroad companies to prove that their cars are provided with a good and sufficient fender as provided by the State law. Jere T. Burke of the Market Street Railway Company asked that ac- tion be postponed for sixty days, data could be obtained as to the best fender used in the United Siates.. Burke agreed to compile information with a view to determining the relative merits of fenders and brakes in general. If it should be found that safer fenders and brakes are in use in other cities than this Burke said that it was the duty of the Supervisors to see that they were adopted bere. Burke objected to setting aside the fenders and brakes used by his sompany without good reason. The committee, however, took a different view of the matter and took the action mentioned. —_————— Verus cures pile: sale by all druggists, or $50 reward.

The Holders of OClaims for Bail Money Cannot Cash Them. e = E N DR Another instance of the lax methods em- ployed in the office of the City Treasurer was uncovered yesterday by Auditor Wells. That officlal ascertained that a demand of the Hermann Safe Company calling for $374.50 was paid by Deputy Treasurer Reis without being counter- signed, though the charter provides that no demands shall be paid by the Treasurer unless audited by the Auditor. The demand was drawn on the fund for “Subsistence of Prisoners,” though the ‘work done by the safe company consisted of putting in a lining in the vault in- stalled in the Sheriff’s office. When the demand was presented to the Auditor a week ago he declined to audit it, as it was drawn by the Board of Public Works on the wrong fund. Wells said he could only audit the demand out of the maintenance fund, which is exhausted. The demand was returned without approval , to_the Board of Public Workss under whose supervision the work was done. That board turned the demand over to Sheriff Lackmann, who gave it to a representative of the safe company with the advice that he see the Auditor with a view to per- suading him to sign the demand. Instead of taking the advice the representative resented the demand to Paying Teller els and received his money. Auditor Wells has not yet decided what he will do in the premises, but he promises to devise some plan to help the Treas- urer’s office out of its dilemma. The Auditor refers to another instance of care- lessness when a demand for $20, signed by the foreman of the Grand Jury, was paid without question, though the Su- pervisors should have countersigned it. People who - have demands for bail moneys are still unable.to cash them. The Auditor has been pestered with a number of holders to sign the demands, but, act- ing under the advice of his attorney, he refuses to have anything to do with them. In return for the annoyance to which he has been subjected Wells refers the ap- plicants to the Mavor, and the latter's office has been besieged by a small army of people who want their bail money back. The Auditor takes excention to the Treasurer making no return to his office regarding the commissions on collateral inheritance tax collection, which the State law says shall go to the Treasurer. The collections, according to Treasurer De Greaver, amount to $62,048.17, of which $2748.79 is now deposited in the vault as a special fund until the Supreme Court shall decide if a city official is entitled to” fees outside of his salary. De Greayer says that the city has nothing to do with the commissions, it belng a matter between Treasurer Brooks and the State. He says the polltax commissions, amounting to ,365.05. are in a different category and return thereof is made to the Auditor. Assessor Dodge will be richer by the last ramred sum if the court holds in his fa- vor. To-Day’s News Letter. This week's News Letter is as full of news and interest as an egg of meat.

MINISTER WU Takes Back Good Words Said for Three Tourists. TRl N “Minister Wu Ting Fang at Washington and Consul General He Yow at San Fran- cisco played a diplomatic game of whist a few days ago, and now they want to renege. Customs Collector Stratton received a telegram May 31 from the Secretary of the Treasury to land and extend the of- ficial courtesies. to three Chinese dignita- ries who arrived on the City of Peking. Ho Yow in his official robes went to the Mail dock and took the distinguished gentlemen to the consulate in a carriage. They were Su Shih Chin, a bachelor of arts from ‘the Peking University; Loo Chin An, a Taofai or Deputy Commis- sioner of Commerce, and Siep Sung Yung, a law graduate of the University of Tien- tsin. It was represented that these gen- tlemen had been commissioned by the Chinese Government to study Western commerce, finances and civilization gen- erally. The gentlemen had not been long on American soil before a Chinese newspaper announced that .they were revolutionists and rebels against the Government of China and that they nad come hither un- der false representations. Then Ho Yow filed with the Collector the following protest: Last week three Chinese named respectively Su Shih Chin, designated, I believe, as trav- eler, Loo Chin An and Siep Sung Yung, ar- rived here on the steamship Peking holding alleged certificates or passports purporting to have been issued to them by Chinese authori- ina. Heve at 'that time, thinking them bona fide Chinese officlals, made representations to the State and Treasury Departments in Washing- ton, D. C.. through our Minister, on_their be- half to facllitate their landing, and instruc- tions were accordingly sent you by the Treas- ury Department to land them as Chinese offi- ials. : On examining Into their cases we have found that at least one of them, the above named Su Shih Chin, is not a bona fide Chinese offi- clal, nor as he was designated in the passport which he holds; so we beg to withdraw our statements or representations on his behalf entirely, and further make the following charges against him and his right to be ad- _mitted into or stay in the United States. He obtained his passport, even if it were genuine, by fraud and misrepresentation. His papers or are irregular, illegal and not gen- uine. He has misrepresented himself to us. He obtained his landing or admittance to the TUnited States by fraud and misrepresentation. He is not what he is represented or signified to be in his papers. He is now illegally in this country (¢ ly after we have with- drawn our vouch for him) and ought to at once be subjected to the law. In conclusion I have to ask you to at once consider and investigate these charges and to take him under your custody pending his full examination. I hear his papers or passports are now in your hands, and I must respect- fully request that they should not be given to him until his case and right thereto have been thoroughly investigated or hold them as evi- ence. ou decide the case and charges. or Shouldk Thereot. in his. tavor, 1 beg and clatm Treasury and hope you will then send it up there, [ together with my charges and all other evi- ‘ours fully, HO YOW, St T e N ‘s Coaesl Gemesal. Collector Stratton says that the new arrivals are gentlemen and scholars and entitled to land either as tourists or stu- dents. He refuses to surrender their pass- ports to the Chinese Consul General or to any one other than the revolutionists themselves. Boas Learned to Box. Judah Boas must pay Julian R. Brandon $60, the' price of thirty boxing lessons, for which he contracted, though he deemed himself well versed in the manly art after having taken eight lessons, when he re- pudiated thé contract. Boas offered to pay $16 for the eight lessons, but Bran- don wanted $60 and sued for the same. Judge Troutt held yesterday that Boas must pay for all the lessons he contracted t is now probable that Judah will decide that he needs more instruction the art of self-defense and will take the fuli dose he originally agreed to. —_—e—————— Kelly May Be Insane.
