Gillin on the retired list. For about five years Captain Gillin, who is one of the most popular members of the Police Department, has been in charge of the Miss’on district. Some time ago he became incapacitated from duty due to a severe injury to the kneecap re- ceived while raiding a Chinese gambiipg joint. At first he paid little attention to the injury, but as it grew worse he con- sulted a speclalist, who advised him to submit to an operation. Since the opera- tion the unfortunate officer has been con- fined to his bed, practically unable to move. Several months ago his relatives had him removed to St. Mary's Hospital, where another operation was performed, but without benefiting the invalid. To complicate matters rheumatism set in, adding to his suffering. From the hospital Captain Gillin was taken to some hot springs in the northern part of the State, as it was thought that the change might do. him some good. Since then his condition, if anything, has become worse. _ Realizing that Captain Gillin will never again be able to do police duty, the Com- missioners have decided to retire him on a pension at the July meeting of thi [ T JACK ROOT COMES HERE TO FIGHT “KID” CARTER Well-Enown Heavy-Weight Boxer Returns After an Absence in the { East of Six Months.

He has not been in the ring since his last appearance in this city, when he handily defeated George Byers, the colored pu- ilist. "gm Smith is looking after Root's inter- ests.

Sl Dk Local Board of Directors Is I Formed for National | Institution. At a meeting held yesterday of leading Jewish citizens it was decided to estab- | lish a Pacific Coast directors’ committee of the Denver Hospital for Consumptives, which henceforth is to be a national in- stitution. For some years the Jewish community of Denver maintained a hospital for suf- ferers from the dread malady, tubercu- losis, but owing to the influx @f patients from all parts of the country the local board of managers appealed to other com- munities, asking that the hospital be made a national institution. The following named gentlemen have been elected as the Pacific Coast direc- tors’ committee of the hospital: Lewis Gerstle, Daniel Meyer, M. enstein, Phil N. Aronson, I Hellman Judge M. C. Sloss, Bert Hecht, Sanford Gols stein,- Moses Gunst, Abe Brown, Jacob Greene- baum, Rev. Dr. J. Nieto, Otto I. Wise, Lucius L. Sonomons, Ben Schloss and Dr. Albert Abrams. The following statement has been issued Py éhe local committee in its appeal for unds: The hospital is now a national institution, deriving its support from the entire Jewish community of the United States. There is, however, at present accommodations for only sixty-three patients, and as the waiting list has always been a long one, the hospital has always had to take care of that number. It is now proposed to enlarge the hospital by erecting another ward near the main build- inz, to which it will be connected by a cov- ‘red way. Funds are urgently needed both for the bullding and for the proper maintenance of the increased number of inmates. At present $26,000 is expended annually to support the in- stitution, That is at the rate of $1 18 per day per patient. This includes the cost of medical attendance, too, and as all the patients are indigent and cannot pay anything, this small sum provides for all their needs. ‘When the new structure is completed it will require at least $60,000 per annum to operate the institution, and as the burden is to be so widely spread, there can be no room to doubt that the money will be forthcoming. The Jews of the Pacific Coast are expected to do thelr share, and in placing the matter before them we feel assured that a plain state- ment of facts will be sufficient to stir_ the generous impulses, without attempting to draw any vivid pictures of the ravages of this dire disease or describing the agonies of its much to be commiserated victims, whose only solace has heretofore been the comforting embrace of the silent grave. Now we may, if the disease be taken in time, check its progress and arrest its development by contributing a fair amount, either as a donation or membership fee, as n come to the rescue of hundreds of suf- rs—fathers, mothers and fondly loved ‘hildren—whcse lives may be prolonged and whose families may not ogly be made happy but verhaps spared the degradation of taking alms, The amount of subscrivtion or donation is optional with the individual, who is expected to gauge contributions by the degree of his or her sympathy for the victims of the most dreaded of all incurable diseases.

O’Connell Meeting With Success in His Efforts to Establish the First Branch of the Order on the Pacific Coast LAMEDA, June 9.—The prelim- inary details for the organization of the first Junior Council of the Young Men's Institute on the Pacific Coast have been com- pleted. The charter roll has been signed by nearly 100 boys from 14 to 17 years of age, and there will - be, it is expected, many more signatures before the formal institution of the coun- cil, which will take place June 13 at St. Joseph’s Hall. Rev. T. J. O’Connell, assistant rector of St. Joseph’s Church, chaplain of Califor- nia Council No. 24, is the organizer of the original junior branch of the order on the west side of the Rocky Mountains. His efforts to further a fraternal spirit ! at Manila last Friday. among the youths of his parish are being accorded the support of Supreme Presi- dent Frank J. Kierce of the Young Men's Institute and of L. E. Mahan, the grand president of the Pacific Coast jurisdiction. Since it was announced that a junior rank council of the Y. M. I. was being formed in Alameda members of the senior rank in other places have given the move- ment considerable thought and other Jjunior councils, it is believed, will be formed elsewhere. The obiect of the junior rank of the Y. M. 1. is to advance the moral, social, in- tellectual and physical condition of its members and to equip them to join the senior rank. Literary and athletic affairs will receive much attention from the boys of the local council.

It was only by prompt and cool-headed action on the part of his fellow-employes that Mertos was not roasted. As it was, he was so serlously injured that he will be confined to his home for many days. The injured workman was the victim of a double accident, the combination being so peculiar that it created much excite- ment at the works. Mertes was cleaning a large 200-k. w. dynamo, which was in operation. As he was standing over the machine there was a sudden “short,” the cause of which the electriclans cannot ex- plain. The flash of electrical flame from the crossed wires. shot out with biinding brilliancy and struck a can of gasoline which stood on the floor near by. There was a puff, and in a second the inflammable fluid was all ablaze and_had covered Mertes from head to foot. With a scream of agony Mertes attracted men in the works and they ran to his assist- ance. They literally dragged him away from the fiercely blazing pool of gasoline on the floor and tore the burning clothes off_his back. The flesh peeled off from portions of Mertes’ body, so badly had he been burned. The flaming garments were thrown outside, and temporary relief was given to the sufferer. He was swathed in bandages and removed to his rooms. His injuries, though severe, are not fatal. The gasoline which caused Mertes' in- juries was used for {leaning and Mertes had placed the can close by before begin- ning his work on the machinery. A Stiff Nor'wester Blowing. Steamships from the south are making slow time, while those from the north are coming in before they are expected. The Crescent City and Columbia were not looked for until yesterday morning, but sundown Saturday night saw them - ing in. In the other direction the City of Para from Panama, Queen from San Diego, Bonita from San Pedro and Gypsy from Santa Cruz were all looked for early yesterday, and at sundown none of them had showed up. It is all due to the nor'wester that has now blowing for a week. Yesterday it was piping at the rate of fifty miles an hour off shore, and that means slow time for any steamer that has to “buck it.” The British steamship Strathgyle got in during the day from Hongkong via Honolulu and San Diego. She brought one cabin passenger and seven Chinese. After leaving Yokohama quite a number of stowaways, among whom were three women, were found. To prevent them from escaping they were put in irens at Honolulu. At San Diego they were land- ed and piaced in confinement. They wiil be keot there until the steamer is on her way back to Japan, when they will bo sent home. The Strathgyle brings a very valuable cargo for this port. —_— Preparing to Resume Work.
