Mrs. Minnie Taylor of San Bruno offers, thrcugh Secretary White of the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, a reward of $100 for information regarding her son Roy, who was kidnaped, together with Joseph Clifford, by Mrs. Joseph Silva in this city last April. Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Clifford of Oak- land have spared no trouble nor expense in vain efforts to recover the stolen chil- dren, and both mothers are broken hearted over their losses. The authorities throughout the State have been notified of the matter but all efforts to trace the boys have proved unavailing.

B All interest in the present disturbed con- ditions concentrates now about the iron- workers. After nearly six weeks of con- troversy between employer and employe no change has obtained in the situation. Both sides are making claims, and each disputes the statements of the other. Secretary R. 1. Wisler, at the headquar- ters of the Iron Trades Councll, speaking of the conditions, said: ‘‘Eastern reports indicate that the ma- chinists’ strike is being rapidly settled by the granting of hours, wages and over- time. The riffraff of the East {s now being shipped to San Francisco to take the places of the men who helped to build up the iron industries of this city. The union machine shops that concede the schedule are being forced to close down by being refused materlal by the merchants who previously supplied them. In addition, these merchants are threatened that if they do not join the Metal Trades Associa- ation at once, after the strike is settled they will be boycotted and refused ma- terial. The matter has gone so far now that sales of completed machinery have been stopped in a rumber of instances The Union Iron Works is in receipt «/ a number of replies in response to telegrams sent out some days ago, which contradict the statements advanced by the machin- ists. At Philadelphia the Neafy & Levy Shipbuilding Company announced that they had granted the machinists an ad- vance of 4 per cent. C. B. Orcutt, presi- dent of the Newport News Shipbuilding Company, says that “‘all reports of a com- promise with the strikers are pure fabri- cations.” Among other firms which were named in the dispatches from the East as having glven in to the men were the Midvale teel Company of Philadelphia, Brownell Company of Dayton, O.; Bath Iron Works of Bath, Me.; Allis Chilmers Company of Scranton, Pa.; Bethlehem Steel Company of Bethlehem, Pa., and the Delaware Shipbuilding Company of Chester, Pa. All telegrams are signed by the executive of- ficers of the various concerns, and are of the same tenor—that there has been no compromise and none is intended. Barber Board Calls on Governor. The members of the State Board of Bar- ber Examiners, Calish, Fleming and Drake, called upon Governor Gage yes- terday at the Palace Hotel and were very pleasantly received. President Calish in- ;med the Governor to visit the headquar- ers. A large number of barbers are daily registering. The certificates will be ready for distribution about July 5.

The dog, which belonged to Allen, was with them. In the course of their wanderings along the water front of the pretty suburb they came upon a boat owned by Dan Eustis and the notion took the soldiers that they would go for a row on the bay. Barry took the oars and Allen the tiller, and the black-and-tan was a sitter. They reached a point about a mile off Sausalito in the direction of Alcatraz when, the wind com- ing through the Gate strongly and the seas beginning to run, they concluded that it was time to return. As Barry had grown tired of rowing, it was proposed that the men change places. Allen assent- ed and, getting up, attempted to pass for- ward at the same time that Barry was coming aft. It was at this moment that the men in the boat were seen ‘from the pilothouse dead ahead by the first mate of the ferry steamer San Rafael on her 3 o'clock trip to this city. The,soldiers were, apparently reeling in the litfle boat, falling down and getting up again. In reality they were trying to pass each other on the same side of the boat. Then a sea a little heavier than any that had gone before caught them, and the mate of the San Rafael saw the boat go over. A boat was lowered and pulled away to where the men were seen struggling in the water. Only one man was X!cked u(r. and he was_ delirious. Stephen Allen had gone to the bottom, though he had been in the water only ten minutes all told. The black-and-tan dog, wet and shivering, was found crouched on the bottom of the up- turned boat. The surviving soldier, Barry, was taken to the Harbor Hospital and, after the sait water had been pumped out of him and a slight wound on his cheek had been at- tended to, told the story of the tragedy. He said he and Allen were not fighting. He was a good swimmer, he sald, and placed Allen on the bottom of the boat, but he fell off several times. Allen, when he fell off the boat once, kicked Barry in the face, inflicting the wound mentioned. DRUG-CRAZED CRIPPLE CATU! EXCITEMENT Climbs Out on Fire Escape and Hangs by Hands in Midair. Jack Leahy, one-legged, and a maniac from the use of drugs, created excitement at Kearny and Pacific streets last night by climbing out on a fire escape, sixty feet !r’:zm the ‘ground. and yelling ‘‘Murder! Police!” He crawled over the edge of the escape and hung by his hands in midair. He appeared ready to drg& at any mo- ment, but was rescued by cers Holmes, Silva, Ward and Skein. Teahy was crazed by the use of drugs and imagined he was pursued by a mob af soldiers. He sought to escape from the mob his diseased mind had created by getting_out of the window. He was sent to the Emergency Hospital. BOOKCASES And Combination Desks and _Book Cases—in Oak or Cherry—handsome, up-to-date and well finished, plain— fancy—ornamental, to suit any one's desires.
