And the amendment to the constitution over which the fiercest fight was waged was hopelessly beaten. This peculiar situation was presented: The regular ticket was really the opposi- . and the opposition was made up of those not opposed to the policy in force but in favor of continuing it in defiance of the regulars, who wished to make it more expensive and more liberal. The successful candidates were the fol- lowing named: ‘Walter Van Dyke; vice presidents Palache and Leonard F. Rowell, San Timothy L. Barker, Oakland; seorge Hagar, Colusa; D. O. Mills, New York; treasurer—F. W. Tallant; Marshal—W. L. Dun- can; Direct A- R Cotton, J. H. Jewett, I N. Tilden, E. M ruse, William W. C. Gibbs. The amendment was beaten by a vote of 205 to 142 Too Much -Economy. The cry of the regulars was that there | was tgo much economy in the administra- tion of the affairs of the society and in the expanditure of the hundreds of thou- sands which Lick left to the organiza- tion. It was contended that the directors should be guided by the society in the matter of expenditures, and the amend- ment was to compel the dfrectors to yield obedience to the w of the sociefy in | PROMOTE CHILEAN TRADE Newly Appointed Consul | to Japan Speaks of Industries.

The clause objected to by the ‘“members’ conserva- | tive”” party was as follows: | It shall be the duty of the board of directors at all times promptly to carry out the wishes and will of the soclety in any and all matters | pertaining to the soclety's social or business af- | fairs. when instructed to do so by a two- | thirds vote of the society at any regular or | special meeting. | According to the conservative party this would open up the doors to the widest ex- | e venditures, for with no re- | strictions as to the membership present | it would be possible for a bare quorum to | vote away any sums it pleased, a condi- | tion that would require every member to | be at every meeting or stand the conse- | quen The conservatives trace the origin of the amendment to a growing desire on | the part of many of the members to go | deeper into the Lick funds. As it is now benefits are paid to every one who needs them, and they are paid not in regular but in amounts suited to the | needs of the beneficlary. No Pioneer is ever allowed to become destitute, and even | with the strictest economy the society is eating into its principal at the rate of | from $8000 to $9000 a year. To increase this outlay in any way would be absurd, the | conservatives contended. | Would Start a Magazine. A magazine scheme was also mixed up in the fight. It appears that Willarq B. | Farwell, chairman of the history commit- tee and the nominating committee and | author of the amendment, has long been advocating the establishing of a maga- O e 23 vance the commercial interests of the | country he represents, and will seek to | promote the introduction of Chilean pro- | ducts in the land of the Mikado. Three vears ago Mr. Rei spent consid- | erable time in San Francisco as a com- missioner representative of extensive ]'ra. bodies in Chile. He succeeded in | introducing many of the South American | products in Cahfornia and in building up commercial intercourse between this State and the southern republic to a wonderful tent.

The arid acreage in | Japan is large, and the necessity for the | introduction of a reliable fertilizer is ap- | parent. In discussing. lfi recent Chilean election, |in which the Liberalist party, headed by | Don Jerman Riesco, won favor in_the land, the Consul anticlpates that the Lib- | eralists will do much in furthering the industrial and social relations of Chile | with other countries, especially the United | States.

President George A. Newhall of the PRozrd of Police Commissioners received the following letter yesterday from George B. Cortelyou, secretary to President Mc- Kinley, which speaks for itself: | BXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, 'une 29, 1901. My Dear Mr. Newhall—At the request of the President I write to thank you cordially for the very efficient care taken by your department for the comfort of Mrs. McKinley and himself during their recent stay in San Francisco, and to assure you that the many courtesies shown to the members of their party were thoroughly appreciated. In this connection I take much pleasure in stating that the courteous and ef- ficient attentions of Colonel Sullivan and his force were espegially gratifying. With my Ecrsonal thanks for your valuable co-operation, elieve me, Yours very sincerely, GEO. B. CORTELYOU, Secy. to the President. Hon. George Newhall, Pres.

The fight has been a literary one, as is shown by the numerous circulars and pamphlets that have been sent around among the members. come from the regulars, but a few well directed bits of paper and ink have found the armor joints of the advocates of the new thing. At first it was announced that the issue was squarely on the question of the amendment, but when the fierce oppo- sition to the amendment began to de- velop the regulars hurried to stand from under. A scathing circular, signed by Judge Niles Searls and Louis Sloss, brought forth a denial from all the regu- lar candidates cf any connection with the amendment. It was declared that voters might vote' on the amendment as they pleased, as the candidates were not pledged on the amendment question in any way. The denial was useless, how- ever, for the amendment was defeated before the polls had been open an hour. From 9 to 5 o'clock 353 votes were cast, the number representing practically all the older membership and but compara- tively few juniors. The banquet after the votes were count- ed was also the annual meeting, and at the table the newly elected officers were installed. The officers who have been elected are practically those of the old administration. NATIVES WANT N EDUCHTION Teachers Are Keynote of Situation in the Philippines. Among the passengers on the steamship Nippon Maru, which arrived yesterday from China. was Colonel H. C. Cochrane, United States Marine Corps. He is one of the ranking officers of the corps which so distinguished itself in the late war with Spain and during the troublous times in China. He was sent to China shortly after the outbreak of the China war. He is now on his way to ‘Washington, his presence in China being no longer needed. When seen at the Occidental Hotel last night Colonel Cochrane said: “I am not one of those men who think Uncle Sam has secured a gold brick in the Philippines. I went to Cavite Navy Yard from China, and from what I saw of our new citizens I think we have made a good acquisition. The all-absorbing topic in the islands now is education. The ambition of the natives has been aroused, and the many scheol teachers Uncle Sam is sending over there wiil have their la- bors lightened by the great willingness to learn now being displayed by the natives. It is more or less of an experiment as yet, but one that in my opinion will prove successful. 3 ‘“The military control of the islands is being gradually merged into the civil. In a few cases native Governors have not been a success. These failures have been ‘reduced to the ranks' and their succes- sors have given the autnorities no trouble. ““The Philippine Commission has done wonderful work in'the islands. It has an intimate knowledge of the natives and their selections of men of.the better class for positions of trust will enable us to reap whatever advantage the possessicn of the islands gives u Lieutenant Colonel C. Watanabe of the Japanese army, who has been attached to the Japanese War Department at To- kio, was also a passenger on the Nippon Maru. He is en route to Washington, where he will report at the Japanese Le- gation as military attache. He is the first military attache sent by his Govern- ment, though the Japanese navy has had an attache at Washington for a number of years. Among the other passengers who turned on the Nippon Maru were: G. P. Dyer, paymaster, U. 8. N.; F. W. Dy- son, an astronomer sent by the British Gov- ernment to Sumatra; Pay Clerk W. M. Gulick, U. 8.

George B. Chaney and Willlam B. Ew- ing, promoters of a bogus oil and invest- ment company, have suddenly left. the city, after duping a large number of peo- | ple out of sums ranging from $25 to $500. It is estimated that the two men have succeeded in swindling the public out of $15,000 to $20,000 by one of the neatest bunke games ever perpetrated In this city. Tne name of the alleged company pro- moted by Chaney and Ewing was “The | Standard Oil Promotion and Investment | Company.” Large offices were rented in the Parrott bullding and expensive fur- niture installed therein. Six lady type- | writers were kept busy sending elaborate- ly prepared circulars all over the coun- try, and flaring advertisements were In- serted in many country newspapers. According to statements made by Ew- ing before he fled from the city his com; with a capital D o TS ntS Bumone-half was allotted as “‘promotion stock” among the “officers.’ When asked for the names of the of- ficers Ewing explained that the president was ‘“Luther J. Robling of the United Fruit Company, located at Boca del Toro, republic ot Colombia.” George B. Chaney was listed as vice president of the comi- pany; W. B. Ewing was treasurer and secretary; J. F. Chambers, general de- livery, Chicago, I, and B. H. Lummis of the Gale-Borden Condensed Milk Com- pany of New York were directors. Claimed Capital of Millions. The circulars sent out by Ewing and d how the company was en- | zaged in ‘“investment of money in ol lands and oil stocks.” No claim was made that the company owned any oil wells; its business was ‘‘to buy Stock when’ it was cheap and sell out when it rose on the market.” The stock pur- | chased by Ewing and Chaney consisted | mostly of “wildcat” shares of companies promoted by men of their own caliber. To prospective investors Ewing and Chaney would tell a glib story of a cap- ital in bank of $2,500,000. Investors were given contracts which stipulated that at the end of ninety days their money would | be returned on a call of thirty days. | As a matter of fact, Bwing and Chaney had no capital in bank and were engaged in “grafting.” Ewing admitted some days ago that he and his partners had secured $15,000 from the public and that they only had a few hundred dollars as capital to secure investors against loss. Ewing claimed to would-be investors that §: ,000 in_cash was deposited in the First National Bank, the Germania Trust Company and the Western National | Bank. When asked how his company ex- pected to make money he replied that a small commission on transactions was the profit for his organization. | Hundreds of rémittances were received by Ewing and Chaney rom all parts of | the country, most of the money coming from bank cashiers, to whom the gaudy circulars of the andard Oil Promotion and Investment Company’ had been sent by mail. Ewing was questioned last week as to | his methods of conducting business and | he denied that he had informed would-be investors that he had two and half mill- fonsin cashas capital. Heclaimed that the officers of the company had subscribed $12,500, but that all the money had been expended in office expenses and advertis- ing. Promised to Raise Some Money. ! Bwin-waswarned that his business was | fravdulent and that unless he mended his | ways trouble would surely come to him. | He promised to raise ,000 from the di- | rectors of the company and do business | as a banking corporation. Senator More- | house was quoted as being the legal ad- | viser of Ewing. Ewing would not be flattered if he were cognizant of the opinion of him held by Senator Morehouse and his legal associ- ates. Morehou: as endeavored to collect a bill from Ewing for a large sum, but| ilnfi failed. When Ewing and Chaney realized that | thelr company was under suspicion they | prepared to leave the city. Last Friday | the two men disappeared and their | whereabouts is unknown. Some of their | creditors and dupes tried yvesterday to at- tach the handsome furniture in the offices used by Ewing and Chaney in the Parrott | building _ They learned, however, that the furniture had been mortgaged last | week and yesterday afternoon it was re- moved from the offices. Dozens of the dupes of Ewing and | Chaney visited the offices yesterday in the vain hope that they might secure | part of the money they had been swin- | dled out of. Only two of the lady type- writers were in the office, and they ad- | mitted that Ewing and Chaney had not been in the place since last Friday. One desk and one chair alone remained of all the handsome furniture installed by Ew- | ing and Chaney to dazzle investors. The lady assistants said their salaries had been paid until the end of this month, but declined to give any further information. ‘Warrants May Be Issued. Ewing is married to a_daughter of the late Senator Mahoney. For a time he fol- { lowed the racetracl nd_then blossomed out as a “capitalist.”’ Chaney was for- merly a court stenographer in Chicago and came to this city last year. Nothing is known in this city of any of the men whom Ewing and Chaney claimed were assoclated with them in the alleged com- | pany. It is expected that warrants will | be issued for the arrest of Ewing and Chaney, as some of their dupes yesterday declared that they would seek to have the two men_punished. Hundreds of bogus oil companies and oil gmmunnn and ‘investment companies are | eing operated all over the State. and it is estimated that the promoters are clean- ing up hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some of the advertisements inserted in Eastern newspapers by these bogus com- fmnles are calculated to make people be- ieve that each and every “oil company’” is sure to prove a bonanza.

Although the Federal agents who are investigating the theft of $30,000 in gold coin from the cashier’s vault at the Mint are satisfied that a certain employe of the money coining establishment is guilty of the robbery, the absence of direct evi- dence prevents the arrest of the suspected man, The officials having the case in charge vesterday employed H. J. Maguire, an ex- pert accountant, to go over the books of the Mint. While Director Roberts, Super- intendent Leach and Secret Service Agent Hazen are positive that the missing gold was stolen, the books are to be experted in order to satisfy the Washington author- itles. For the same reason that the books are to be experted the gold in the Mint is to be again counted. When the shortage of $30,000 was discovered the gold was count- ed by sacks, it being taken for granted | that each sack contained the amount of coin called for on its check tab. Yesterday it was decided to open every sack of gold in the building and actually count the coin by weighing. Millions to Be Counted. The amount of gold in the Mint vaults is more than $47,000,000, and it will take ten days for the counters and weighers to tally the treasure. In the event of any further shortage be- ing found there will be a big upheaval in the Mint. The Secretary of the Treasury has given strict instructions that no ef- forts be spared to secure the conviction of theqman who stole the $30,000. The work of counting the gold in the Mint commenced yesterday. One of the big vaults was opened and the counting was done in the presence of Director Roberts, Superintendent Leach, Coiner Cole, Cashier Cole and other heads of department Each sack was untied, the and then placed in the gold-weighing scales. The gold coin was then resacked and sealed. During the day $600,000 passed through the hands of the counters and weighers. Chief Clerk Dimmick was at his desk vesterday, though William Day was in charge of the department. With reference to certain accusations made against him, Dimmick declined to make any statement. ‘Will Talk at the Proper Time. “When the time comes and before the proper_authorities,” he said, “I will an- swer all questions put to me and make all requisite explanations. I have decided that I will not talk any more at the pres- ent time positively stated that Dimmick opencd the pay envelopes of Mint em- ployes and used the money when he was cashier. The matter only came to light, however, three months azo, and then Su- perintendent Leach notified sDimmick that ne must seek another position. Other al- leged questionaple transactions by Dim- mick are coming to light, and he does not attempt to explain them away. One of the Mint employes who is known to have played the races steadily is also | being watched by the secret service men. The man is no: employed in the cashier's office. Investigation shows that he has lost three times the amount of his salary in the past vea-, and the natural question arises as to how he managed to secure funds. ‘When the count of the gold in the Mint is finished Director Roberts will call upon Superintendent Leach and Cashier Cole, through their tondsmen, to make good the deficit. BURGLARS INDULGE IN BOTTLED BEER The Office of the California Bottling Company on Eddy Street Entered. The efforts of the police to capture the burglars who are infesting the Western Addition seem futile and reports of places being entered continue to be received at police headquarters. Yesterday morning a report was re- ceived that Bottling .Company on Eddy street, be- tween Webster and Fillmore, had been broken into between Sunday night and yesterday morning and that the burglars had made themselves at home. They drank a_considerable quantity of bottled beer and made . an unsuccessful attempt to force open the safe. : Failing in their efforts on the safe, they tole a quantity of tools and other arti- cles, besides carrying off a number of bottles of beer. Entrance was effected by forcing open the office door with the aid of a “jimmy.” Detectives Dinan and ‘Wren are in igating the case. — ee———— U. S.
