SR AL The work places and d League conven way and will of preparing the meeting corations for the Epworth | n is now actually under continue uninterruptedly the day on which the pr liminary exercises will take place. It has been discovered that considerably more work will have to be done on the Me- | chanics’ Pavition than was originally out- | lined and it has been found necessary to employ two shifts of men, who will labor | night and day until the arrangements are completed. A great auditorium is to be built in the center of the Pavilion, and all around the | sides booths for the exhibits of the aif- ferent counties ious organizations There will also | emergency hospital, telephone and telegraph con- veniences, an_information bureau and a branch postoffice exclusively for the use of the visiting delegates. The Pavilion has not, however, the containing zll the people to attend the meetings of the convention, and exercises wiil take simulianeously in Metropolitan Temple, the Alhambra Theater and sev- eral of the largest churches. Open alr meetings are to be held at noon on all | four days of the convention in the City |2 Hall Square and on Van Ness avenue. Some of the delegates who have ar- ranged for a tour of the principal points of the West are already on the way and others are starting daily. It is expected that many thousands of the Leaguers will ‘be in the city several days before the convention, although the | railroads are planning to handle the bulk of the traffic on-July 16 and 17. | It has been decided to spend $5000 on deaorations, in addition to what ‘will be done in that line by private individuals. Gigantic Maltese crosses are to hang over the streets all the way from the ferry station to the Pavilion. Hundreds of Ep- worth League red and white banners are | being made to decorate the buildings in which exercises are to be held. Umforms s and guides are also being made. All about the headquarters is busy pre- paration. The heads of all the commit- tees report that plans are complete and will be executed in ample time for the convention. Nothing has yet occurred to Renaissance le of architecture. Work will be commenced to-morrow. The facade of the proposed building is marked strongly and beautifully by a triple arched portico. The sides are em- phasized by pavilion breaks, which de- stroy the appearance of great length and give grace and dignity to the design. The first floor is to be devoted to a re- cention hall and offices for the clergy, culinary and living apartments, while the second floor proyides each clergyman with separate study in addition to his bed chamber. The reception room is to be paneled in redwood, with the natural fin- e e e e R 2 mar the success of the undertaking and all interested predict that it will forever dound to the glory of the League and the people of California. The following appeal for subscriptions to the expense fund was issued yester- day: Appeal for Subscriptions. The finance committee of the International Epworth League Convention finds itself much delayed in gathering funds for the coming of the great convention and time presses so close &s to make the situation uncomfortable; our visitors are to be with us 1n a few days. The committee was ready to press its can- vass at the time the Presidential reception was projected and the subscription undertaken for its funds. There was nothing to do in the premises but withdraw our plans and to wait till this was over. We have pressed the canvass since that date and have in sight only some fourteen thousahd dollars of the twenty-five thousand dollars re- required. The estimated amount required cannot be re- duced: the contracts covering nearly the whole amount have already beeri made. We feel sat- isfled that this situation needs only to be brought to the attention of our citizens to have prompt and generous response by them. At the time the convention was secured the committee having the matter m charge pledged twenty-five thousand dollars for the city to meet these expenses. This pledge was made neces- sary by the fact that Los Angeles, then in com- petition for the convention, through its Cham- ber of Commerce, offered to guarantee twenty- five thousand dollars to meet estimated ex- penses of the gathering. We felt assured then and are confident now that our citizens are ready to fulfill this pledge. The promised attendance on the conventlon is greater than anticipated. travel Indicate that the largest number of per- sons from the East ever in California at one time will be here during the convention. Asking the prompt and generous response of our citizens, I am, THOMAS FILBEN, Chatrman General Committee. ‘The following subscriptions e2cknowledged Hale Bros. Raphael Weill & Co.

REVOKES ORDER - OF DISMIS3AL \ {Judge Mogan Suspects a Scheme to Free Collins. The charge of burglary against Matthew Collins, special policeman, was dismissed by Police Judge Mogan yesterday morn- ing. Later the Judge ordered that the case be again placed on the calendar, he having been informed that misrepresenta- tions had been made to him The court ordered that Collins, who was out on bonds, and the witnesses for the prosecu- | tion be subpenaed to appear in court this morning. Collins was arrested on the charge of entering the cigar warehouse of Rinaldo & Co. and stealing 3000 cigars; which he was alleged to have sold to Arthur Bird- | | sey, a saloon-keeper at 123 Front street. | Charles 8. Bier, a member of the cigar firm, swore to the complaint and engaged | Attorney Ach to speclally prosecute. As | Collins had denied that he sold the cigars | to Birdsey, the last named engaged At- torney Riordan to look after his interests during Collins’ preliminary examination. Ach Told Him There Was No Case. When the case came up yesterday Bler was called to the stand. He testified in effect that he had been informed by At- torney Ach, who was not in court, that as there had been no breakage in making+an entrance to the store there was no case. There were only three keys to the door of the warehouse. He had one, the cashier had one and the porter the third, therefore | Collins could not have had a key. He | admitted that the cigars had been stolen between the night of June 18 and the morn- ing of June 19, but he was not sure that the ones which Birdsey alleged he had purchased from Collins belonged to his rm. Ex-Judge Ferral, who represented Col- lins, made a motion to dismiss the case as there was no evidence against the de- fendant. Attorney Riordan at this point sald that his_client, Birdsey, was not in court. He had been in attendance, but as Attorney Ach had informed Riordan that there was no evidence against Collins and he had withdrawn from the case, Birdsey had been told that he was not wanted. ° could be sent for if it was deemed neces- sary. Birdsey Ready to Testify. Bier again took the stand and sald there was no use sending for Birdsey, as he could not testify to anything material, The Judge then granted the motion to dismiss. = Later he was notified of the fact that Birdsey would testify that he had gurchued the cigars from Collins and he immediately ordered the case put back on the calendar. Detective Mec- Mahon was instructed to bring Collins into court and subpena all the witnesses to be present this morning. McMahon found Collins and the J:gge instructed him to be in court at the time arranged. “There is something peculiar in the case,” sald the Judge, ‘‘and I want all the witnesses to tell what they know in open court, There is apparently no disposi- tion to prosecute the case and I want to know the reason.” OPPOSES APPOINTMENT OF HOSPITAL SUPERINTENDENT Supervisor d’Ancona Says Healta Board Violates Charter and Ex- ceeds Appropriations, A. A. &Ancona, chalrman of the Super- visors’ Hospital Committee, sent a com- munication vesterday to the Board of Health in which he takes exception to the appointment of a successor to Dr. Suss- dorff as Superintendent of tHe City and County Hospital and calls attention t fact that the board has exceeded its ape propriation for the payment of certain employes. D'Ancona says: The appropriations of $12,480, vk, “aeriies and ward' tendees. and A for other employes, have been overdrawn by $460, and T would ask that the salarles pald to these employes do not exceed the sums named. The plan whereby your board will give the ex. ecutive control to two officers—one to attend to the business of the hospital and the other to professional affalrs—is in violation of the pro- xillonlho:‘ e ch;rher.lvb:fih £ay that the resi- lent physiclan shall give his whole time auten of im offce, Ri0e t seems to me that no officer sh pointed to take the Dlace of the Superinteadent ‘who has just resigned, as none is needed..The resient physician should be made the execu- tive of the hospital and should supervise the business affairs of the hospital, together with the professional.

Strong Statement Emanates From Local Building Trades Council. I R = Union cards came down from restaurant windows all ‘day yvesterday at varying hours. Some proprietors anticipated the time, while others held the cards In sight until the last minute, Some overstepped the limit. A record of these is being kept, agents of the jobbing butchers having been scattered around the city for that purpose. Those who were interested in the matter were unable last night to give a definite idea of the number of cards that were taken down. The spokesman for the job- bing butchers sald, “It does not matter how many union cards came down to-day; tney will all be down in due time.” Secretary Rosenberg of the San Fran- cisco Labor Councll, speaking for the or- fa.nlznuonu affiliated with that body and n the presence of Business Agent Lane of the Cooks’ and Waliters’ Alllance, made the following statement: Information has come to us that some of the unlon restaurant cards have been surren- dered under threats of the jobbing and retail- ing butchers that meat would not be furnished to_restaurants displaying unfon cards. This simply means that the Employers’ Assoclation is enforcing the policy of withholding supplies from union houses. Wherever possible we shall meet that issue by withholding men, or ‘where that is not advisable, withhold our pa- tronage. ere is no question but that the wholesale and jobbing butchers are at the bottom of the present difficulty. The executive committee will meet to-morrow night and then when we have more detailed reports at hand we shall strike back at the butchers mainly responsible for the interference. We are going to convince some of the retallers that the trades unionists, and for that matter the gen- eral public, is opposed to the methods of the Employers' Assoclation. President -Goff of the San Francisco Labor Council was before the Building Trades Council at 915% Market street last night and advocated the plan of issuing a journal devoted to laboring interests. Goff made a gallant plea for the proposi- tion, but the sense of the meeting, taken by a rising vote, was against the plan. The following statement, presented by W. E. French, representative of the Der- rickmen's, Engineers’ and Structural Iron Workers' 'Union, was adopted last night and furnished the press over the seal of the Building Trades Council: It has been reported in public print that Guy Lathrop, “lately of the Building Trades Coun- cil,” but now secretary of the State Federa- tion of Labor, and a member of its executive | council, did indorse a variety of measures re- cently passed on by that body. As this report, like everything else emanat- ing from the same source, 15 more for the pur- pose of decelving the public, and because it is wholly false as far as it concerns the Building Trades Council, we deem it our duty to set the matter right before the reading and thinking public of San Franclsco. Guy Lathrop is not nor has he ever been a member of the Buflding Trades Council any more than the thousands of other men who hold membership in any affillating union can claim to be, He has not nor has he at any time been a delegate to the council, and is not likely to be in the future if his present in- dorsing proclivities and erratic tactics are not changed. O. A. TVEITMOE, Secretary. The Leather Workers have agreed to assess themselves 5 per cent of their weekly wages until further notice for the benefit of the striking iron workers. Barbers Honor State Board. 1. Less, secretary of the local assocla- tion of journeymen barbers, has been elected delegate to the meeting of the in- ternational association to be held at Sag- inaw, Mich., in the early days of October. At present he is in BaKersfield, where he is preparing to organize the barbers of that town into a union. He will return, and visit various cities in the San Joaquin Valley, organizing unions wherever there is_sufficient material. The Board of State Barber Commission- ers announces that certificates will be ready on Monday afternoon and will be promptly distributed to those entitled to them. They were the guests last night of the Barbers’ Protective Association, Speeches were made by Calish, Fleming and Drake, E. P. Roche and others. At the conclusion of the meeting refresh- ments were served. At the ball to be shortly given by the several local barbers’ organizations, the retiring president of the Journeymen Bar- bers’ Union, J. R. Bliely, will be presented with a gold badge by the organization, in recognition of his services. No date has as yet been set for the affair, but it is proposed to make it a grand occasion. The date selected will probably be that on which the State Board of Barber Commis- sioners will be ready to conclude its la- bors in this city. The Shinglers’ Union has elected the following officers: _President, William Joy; vice president, Fred Brooks; record- ing and corresponding secretary, William Garvey; financial secretary, John Bald- win; treasurer, Willlam Kurlbaum; ser- geant at arms, Fred Joy; auditing com- mittee—H. Robertson, E. Davis, J. Sulll- van; delegates to Building Trades Council —William Jay, Larry Smith, Fred Joy. An entertainment and social tendered to_the retiring officers will be given at 1159 Mis- sion street on the evening of July 12. —_——— Bookbinders Have No Union Label. Harry Gibb, president of the San Fran- cisco Typographical Union, yesterday said that the bookbinders have no right to any union label, not being affiliated with the International Union of Bookbinders or with the local Allied Printing Trades Council, the rules of these bodies forbid- ding the use of a label other than the Al- lied Prlnungh’l'mdes Council label. The bookbinders have been given thirty days) notice by the Labor Council, said Gibbs, to affiliate with the International Union, otherwise to withdraw their delegates. The effect of passing the resolution of- fered in the Board of Supervisors to re- quire the bookbinders’ label on all muni- cipal books would have been to restrict all binding to bookbinders, shutting out the printers and pressmen. The Interna- tional Printers, Pressmen and Bookbind- ¢rs are one assoclation as allled printing trades and have only one label, and the bookbinders are not entitled to the special label they claim. WAITERS ASSOCTATION GIVES PLEASANT SMOKER New Officers Installed and Guests Entertained With Programme of Clever Specialties.
