Tk | | Bewall, Mrs. Emma_Snell Paulson called meeting to order at 10 o'clock and asked for nominations for a presiding officer. Mrs. Emma Shafter Howard was-chosen | by acclamation, and immediately took the | chair. Her address of welcome pextained | | to the function and importance of the | | Women’s International Council, wkich | was organized in 1583 with the object of | bringing_ women’s work into universal, | concerted activity. The introduction of Mrs. Sewall was ac- | companied by a wave of enthusiasm that | swept over the assemblage and forced the | distinguished speaker to wait several min- | utes before the applause ceased. Through a_misunderstanding the first topic was changed, and Mrs. Sewall opened the dis- cussion with an _address on “Women's Ciubs.” She sald in part: | The first well-known club along the lines of | | modern -organization was not the Sor in | New Ycrk, mot the New England Women's { Club 1n Boston, but one in a little town in | Indiana New Harmony, There the Owen family, who gave so much to the State | in richness of intellect and who, when the | congtitution of the State was formed, calied | { for equal civil liberty to women, resided. There was a gifted woman in the family, a daughter, who had been sent to Germany and France to Study. On her return she feit her | longliness, and, by the assoclation of a few women of her kind, organized a women'’s club. Ten years later in New York Jennie June wak asked by Alice and Phoebe Cary to or- ganize a women's club. Confronted by the need of a constitution and ignorant of the methods of Drocedure, they consulted Ella Deets Clymer, a member of the New Harmony lub. She not only agreed to help them, but he was the chief writer of the original con- stitution of Sorosis. How was Sorosis formed? Everything that | Th | Worthington of Monterey | of woman to-day, ; women do begins in womanly things, and orig- inates in something extremely feminine. Soro- sl originated in the desire of a few women to attend a party, the particular one being that at which Charles Dickens was to be enter- tained when he came to New York. The Press Club was to give the reception, June, who belonged to the Press Club, de- cided to get a new dress for the occasion. Her husband told her this was unnecessary, as there would be no women present. Discovering this to be actually the state of affairs, she thought It was time for the women to crgan- ize @ separate club and entertain Mr. Dick- ens themselves. And now, what has the club done? A study of the sociological econditions In the United States before the club era shows that the life of women in those times was very isolated. Iy knew women who worshiped in the same church or the wives of those men who belonged to the same political party as their own husbands. The club brought out new lines, new thoughts and new ideas. It has sej to bring sects and_creeds and social relations together. This is what the women's club is for: to bring you out of the bondage of relationship only-to those who form your own religious sect or political parties. This is why the club has become a great social force in ouf country.

I have heard so much I should like to hear if only once the name ““Man.” I confess to hav- ing still some very fashioned {deas, and one of them.is that ‘‘ ‘man’ is master.” I believe in the old-fashioned ideal for woman- hood.

STATE PARK COMMISSION READY ¥OR LAND OFFERS The State Redwood Park Commission met vesterday -afternoon at the Palace Hotel to confer with Governor Gage as te the proper method of expending the $250,000 apprepriated by the last Legisla- ture for the purpose of securing a State park. The appropriation is payable at the rate of $50000 annually until the entire amount is exhausted. It was announced that the commission was prepared to receive propositions in regard to the sale of lands, and that such propositions should be accompanied by maps, charts and other necessary data. It was resolved that the commission should purchase only abutting and con- tiguous land, so that. when the park should be established there would be no separation of its parts by other property. The committee decided to call upon the Legislature to appropriate a sufficient sim to preserve the State sempervirens fcrest from fire. Some time in July or August the commission will visit the Big Basin to inspect the land of that section. No particular point for the location of the park has been selected and the commis- sion is open to suggestions, —————— In the Divorce Court. Decrees of divorce were granted yester- day to Frances L.

While it has been the custom in the past for the Superintendent to countersign the salary demands, Chief Deputy Auditor Willlam Wells, who is acting Auditor during his father's| absence, says that the practice has been pursued under a Wrong interpretation of the charter, which in language plain and specific provides that only the President and Secretary of the board are required to sign the demands which are more properly termed warrants. The section bearing on the subject follows: All_demands payable out of the common school fund shall be filed with the secretary of the Board of Education, and after they have Dbeen approved by the board they shall be signed | by the president of the board and the Super- | intendent and sent to the Auditor. Every per- son in the employ of the School Department | entitled to a galary therefrom shall recelve a warrant for the amount due and approved by the board, signed by the president and secre- tary therdof. The entire monthly salary roll of the depgrtment shall be made up by the secretary of the board,.and after belng duly audited by the Finance Committee thereof and approved by a majority of all the members of the board whall be indorsed in the same man- ner as other demands. ‘While the language of the section seems to necessitate the slgnature of the Super- intendent to all demands it makes a dis- tinction in the case of salary warrants and excludes him from auditing them. Had this fact been known some months ago endless litigation over the demands of employes in the .school repair shops would have been avolded. The employes were unable to get thelr pay because Su- perintendent Webster would not sign their warrants, Now the Auditor finds that the Superintendent's gignature is not required. No doubt when the facts are brought to the attention of the Board of Rducation perintendent from participating in the | ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS NOT LIKELY TO COME Proposed Colony in San Joaquin Val- ley Generally Deemed a Dream. Local representatives of the Santa Fe Railroad know nothing of the proposed plan to form an Italian, colony In the San | Joaquin Valley. According to a dispatch published in a morning paper and alleged to have emanated from a Chicago Jour- nal, the Santa Fe Railroad Company was about to send agents to Italy and later to other Europeau countries, whose labors, it was expected, would result in many thousands of Italians coming to this| country and locating on lands in Southern California, New Mexico and California. | The principal objective point in this State, was said to be the San Joaquin Valley. H. K. Gregory, assistant general passen- | ger agent of the Santa Fe line, knows nothing about this proposed plan ! “Our latest folder,” he sald, “dces not | give the name of any agent in ITtaiy. eral lccal Jtalian agents have spoken to | me about_the matter, but I was unable to give them any information. . ‘Perhaps later 1. may have some advices from Chi- cago, where the head officers are located, but as yet-I_cannot give any definite in- formation. In a matter of this Kind I think I would be early advised, .as it would be a matter of great importance to the Pacific Coast.” Chevalier Carlos F. Sérra, Consul-Gen- eral of Italy, puts little credence in the aispatch. He said: | “The better class of Italians can- find | as good opporturities at home as they can here for the employment and enjoyment | of their wealth. I do not expect any gen- | eral exodus of my countrymen. Too many | considerations are involved. When an Italian leaves Lis native land and settles | the advice of a relative who preceded | him. He soon fits himself to conditions and rears his 1amily, and his sons and daughters become an ‘integral part of the | community. From my knowledge of my | people I would nnhesitatingly say that the | proposition would not for a moment be | seriously considered, as the problem of | earning a living would be a_most serious question until the-arid lands could be! made productive. An Italian with suffi- clent capital to farm for three years or more without return would probably pre- fer to remain at home.” ———— PARADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR FOURTH OF JULY Invitations Sent to All Organizations | Eligible to Take Part in the Big Procession. There was a meeting of the parade com- | mittee of the Fourth of July Committee | last evening, at which it was decided to send invitations to parade to the Second Brigade, N. G.

An at- | tempt was made to have a reduction made by the musicians’ union from $7 a day and $14 for band leaders to sometHing lower, but the attempt met with a refusal from the union. A similar attempt to have the hack rate reduced from $7 to $5 a day was successful. .

McElroy’s collar- bone was fractured, his shoulder was dis- located and his head and body were bruised in numerous places. The accident occurred at the corner of Third and Market streets. The assistant chief was racing his horse in order to reach a fire on the water front.

A resolution was adopted empowering the executive com- mittee to report the result of the board's action to the national committee for rati- fication. The site selected consists of 688 acres in the western, or unimproved portion of Forest Park, which contains between 1300 and 1400 acres and is the second largest In addition 450 acres adjolning on the south and west are available. This makes a total of 1118 acres, or one-third mere space than was used by the Columbian Expesition in Chi- cago. More than one-third of the entire site is level ground, the highest point of which is 186 feet above the city. More than two- thirds of the grounds will average sixty- eight feet al e the city. It is in the neighborhood of magnificent residences. One river and ten creeks flow through the site and there are numerous artificial lakes in it. iThe park is said to have the most adequate transportation facilities of any in the ‘world and there are guarantees that the present service of steam and electric railways will handle 300,000 persons a day, and can readily be doubled. Forest Park is within easy walking distance of more than 150,000 residents. It is four miles from the Union station and flve and one- half miles west from the Eads bridge.
