Neva Sim- | mons was second choice in the betiing but could not get better than third place in the race. . Another record was broken in the 2:08 trotting eveni, when The Monk forced Boralma to go the last heat in 2:07%, low- ering his mark three-quarters of a sec- ond. Fifteen Lcrses answered the start- er's bell when the firsi heat of the Mer- chants’ and Manufacturers’ stake was called. It was a hard field to get off. Neva Simmons had the pole, but she broke before the first turn and_ Eleata took the lead as they turned for the back stretch and heid it to the wire. Neva Simmone took a second in this heat by &plendid trotting on the back stretch after Price had got her on her feet again. Eleata was in front all the second heat, although Country J made a strong bid in the stretch. Going steady as a clock the black mare took the third heat in record time and was greeted with enthusiastic cheers a: came unhd.erkthedwx D e looking back and s ead at the others.

They threw stones and rocks at us and called us vile names. I had my father and little brother with me and I feared they would be hurt. When we got to First and Harrison streets CUff called to me, ‘For God’s sake pull your gun!’ I did so and we warned the crowd to get back. Then we saw them coming nearer and throwing stones again and we fired into the air. They continued to throw stones and we then fired at the crowd in if-defense. I realized that we were in danger and might have been seriously in- jured. Some of the men formerly worked under me." Clff told a story similar to that of | Pagendarn. Wiillam Dunn, the wounded man, claims to reside at Twentieth and De Haro streets. He refused last evening to give any information as to the shooting. He denied being a metal worker, but when told that he was known to be a striker replied, *“Well, if you know it, what is the use of asking me? He asked that no mention of the affair be made in the pa- pers, and said he would not prosecute the two men under arrest. A number of strikers gathered at the Harbor Hospital while Dunn was on the operating table. ey gave their names s A. Butt, T. Conley, G. Cook and rank Burns. Story of the Strikers. In reply to questions Burns said: “I saw the men who fired the shots coming along Harrison street toward First. A few men were half way down the block behind them. The men in front suddenly wheeled around and started firing at the other men. No rocks were thrown at the men in front, nor were they molested in any way. We are strikers, but we did not give those men any cause to start firing.” Butt sald: “I was coming along Harri- son street toward First. A few men were with me. We were not following the men from the Dundon Iron Works. The first time since Emma Offutt's victory in 1896 that the Merchants’' and Manufactur- ers’ stake has been won in straight heats.

FIGHT ON HAY WHARF, “Scabs” and Union Men Have Night Battle. There was a ‘“dynamite scare” around Third and Berry streets yesterday caused by the discovery of a mysterious pack- age, and for a time the police were of the opinion that some person or persons unknown intended destroying property. There had been a fight between union and non-union men on the hay wharf the night before, and that made a basis for the ‘“dvnamite scare,” but it fell to the | ground when the package was opened and found to contain three big firecrackers, half a pound of powder, some loose matches and a piece of fuse. The steam schooner National City has | been laid up_ for repairs ever since the strike. Her boilers have to be fixed up and her machinery overhauled. Monday last the steamer was anchored out in| China Basin and early in the moring a | gang of non-union workmen were sent out to her. The strikers were informed | of the fact and Monday night they lay in wait for the “scabs” on Hay whart. When the non-union men came ashore there was a free fight and a squad from the Southern station had to be sent to quell the disturbance. Following this disturbance fingin, came the £_of the mysterious package near J Reid’s blacksmithing shop at 149 Berry street. About three months ago Reid’s place was set on fire and two months ago a bomb was placed in the rear of Sievert's place, 137 Berry street. The explosives placed behind Reid's place vesterday were wrapped up in a piece of oiled paper with the fuse protruding. The paper had been set on fire, but the wind blew it out instead of fanning the flames. The police now think that the whole af- fair was a practical joke and that neither the strikers nor non-union men had any- thing to do with it. Y PICKETS OVERRIDE. LAW Federal Judge to Rule Against Tactics of DRUGEISTS - WILL FIGHT NEW LAW Sa.y.It Infringes Upon Their Right to Make a Living. Hardship Worked Upon Grad- uates of Pharmacy College. . T As the Statute Is Interpreted Techni- cal Education of Students Goes for Noth- 3 ing. ot gB Within the next two days suit will be commenced to test the constitutionality of the pharmacy law passed at the last session of the State Legislature. It is a movement in which every pharmacist in the State s Interested, and the San Fran- clsco men have entered into a combina- tlon to make the fight. Their attorney, Frank I Kingwell, has advised them that the new law will not stand the test of the courts. The reasgns given are that, in the first place, the law discrimin- ates, in that, while retall druggists and their clerks, as the handlers of poisons and the compounders of prescriptions, are compelled under its provisions to be regis- tered as pharmacists, there is no provi- sion whatever for the registration of ‘Wholesalers and their clerks. And yet the wholesalers handle poisons also, and ev- ery wholesale drug house in the State maintatns a laboratory, wherein are com- pounded preparations that are, in effect, prescriptions 1nd are constantly being prescribed by physicians or used by drug- gists’ in the compounding of physicians’ prescriptions. And while the retailers em- ploy none but graduates in pharmacy, or men expert through long vears of experi- ence in the handling of prescriptions and famillar with chemicals and their com- binations, the wholesalers, it is claimed, in many cases employ boys and cheap as- sistants for the purely mechanical work of mixing. The mixtures of the wholesale dealers reach as many or more sickbeds than the prescriptions put up behind the prescription counters by graduates in pharmacy. Still Stronger Reason. But there is another and still stronger reason, perhaps, why the new law is deemed unconstitutional. Why, the drug- gists ask, should they be the only men of any profession who are charged a fee for the right to make a living from an expert education? When a man graduates from a law school or from a medical col- lege, recelving his degree and his admis- slon to practice s profession, there is no more question about his professional standing. Once admitted as a lawyer or a doctor, he is always thereafter a lawyer or a docter. The law and the people pre- sume, and wisely, that the man will gain in knowledge by practice, and that the more years he faces the courts or the more calls he has to the beds of the sick the more accurate will be his knowledge of controversy or of illness. And yet the law, and the State Board of Pharmacy under the law, goes upon a presumption the exact opposite of this in dealing with druggists. And some recent actions of the State Board of Pharmacy and its sec- retary, John Calvert, would lead to the conclusion that the gentlemen composing the board, every one of them a pharma- cist, had been led to the conclusion that the longer a man worked in a drug store and the more he studled drugs under the .tutelage of presumably the best profes- sors of the day, the less he knew about his business. If this 1s not true, why are graduates of the California College of Pharmacy, itself a branch of tne State University, to be corhpelled to take a second examination in pharmacy at the hands of the State board, and whg are men with years of ex- perience and the best schools behind them likewise to be put through an examina- tion like mere schoolboys? It is precisely of these things that the druggists com- plain, Collecting Back Fees. Still one more hardship in the construc- tion of the new law by the State board is complained of by druggists, and it is upon this point that the test of the law may come. Under the old pharmacy law, repealed by the passage of the present act, there was a certain laxity in the col- lection of registration fees, and many druggists allowed their fees to fall into arrears, not through inability or unwill- ingness to pay, but simply because the secretary of the old board did not make sharp collections. It has been ruled by the new board that all such men as are in arrears under the old law must, be- fore they are registered under the new, make up such arrears, or else submit to a new examination before the State board before they will be registered and per- mitted to practice their profession in this State. The hardship in this lies not in the exaction of the money, which is a small matter, but in the compelling of men who have committed no fault to take time from their business to cram for an examimation which might be easy for schoolboys with no practical knowledge, but which also might stump the most expert pharmacist who had not crammed, Secretary Calvert Talks. “It is a fact,” said John Calvert, secre- tary of the State Board of Pharmacy, yesterday, “‘that all graduates in phar- macy, of whatever school, must take an examination before the State board be- fore they will be registered as licenti- ates.” “‘Graduates of the California College of Pharmacy?” he was asked. “Yes; fradua.tes of every college.” “Whyt “It i3 a rule the board made.” “And if a man who was a registered harmacist under the old law has neg- ected or failed for any reason to pay his dues under that law, must he also take the examination?” “No. He must pay his back dues or take the examination. One or the other. ‘We will accept the back dues accrued under the old law, or the applicant must take the examination. That is a rule the board has made. We do not recognize de- grees from anywhere.” Provision of New Law. The-new law provides, in section 4, for Strikers. S CINCINNATI, July 16—Judge C. D. Clark of the United States District Court, during the hearing of the motion to dis- solve the temporary injunction issued agalnst the striking machinists, indi- cated very plainly to counsel for the de- fense to-day what his opinion would be on the two points involved. He said that for plcketing an injunction would be granted, but that acts of violence and even boycotting were not to be met by injunction. He sald: “I have arrived at the conclusion be- yontl all doubt that picketing is unlawful; that it is immoral and wrong. Counsel for the defense must understand plainly that I am opposed to picketing in any form whatever and that I will promptly make the power of this court feit against it.” The Judge described picketing as inter- cepting men while going to or from the factory—anywhere, even miles away—by one man or by more than one, and any in- terference with ingress and egress of workmen. But violence, he added, is not to be remedied by injunction in this court. He announced that the decision of the case would resf on the point whether or not it would be shown that there had been picketing. As his mind was made up on picketing he asked counsel to cite authori- ties on that point. Oxford Golfer Defeats American.

All persons on applying for examination or registration shall pay to the secretary a fee of $5 for licen- tiate and §2 for assistants, and on passing the examination they shall be furnished with a certificate signed by the secretary and the ex- aminers. Every registered pharmacist who desires to continue the practice of his profes- slon in this State shall annually, on such date as the Board of Pharmacy may deter- mine, pay to the secretary of 'said board a registration fee to be fixed by the board, but which shall in no case exceed the sum of per annum, for which he shall receive a re- newal of such registration. The section then goes on to provide that assistant pharmacists, or helpers in stores, shall be charged a fee of $2 for examination and of $1 per year for regis- tration thereafter. The limitation of the right of registra- tion under this section to those persons only who have passed the examination grescrlbed by the State board is claimed y druggists to work a needless hardship upon many men who are at least as com- petent as the members of the State board themselves. Section 4 of the new law reads: Eyery pharmacist claiming the right of regls- tration under this act shall, on or before the 1st of July next after its passage, forward to the State of Pharmacy satisfactory proof that he was a duly registered pharma- cist under the provisions of an act to regulate the practice of pharmacy or sale of poisons 1o the Btate ot Callfornis, approved March 11, w -nddinzuod in t.hledbnnlnAz- e prepar- and dispensing medicines and physicians’ eapon et the time. ox "ihal he " was PICK OF THE YOUNG COURSERS ON THE FUTURITY STAKE LIST The Big Meeting Which Will Be Held in September Next Is Second in Importance Only to the John Grace Challenge Cup Event and Has on Its Card a Great Lot of Highly Bred Puppies HE Futurity, an annual event in which is second in importance only to the John Grace Challenge Cup Stake, has for its entries the best young Last year's event was greyhounds in the country. captured by Harlem Gladys of tbe light litter.

Any practicing pharmacist failing to comply with the require- ments of this sectlon within sixty days after the 1st day of July, 1901, shall forfeit his right to registration and shall appear for ex- amination as provided for in this act. Entitled to Registration. It is under this section that the conten- tion will be urged that a man who was registered under the old law, whether he has paid his accrued fees or not, is en- titled to registration on his credentials under the new act. At least one case is known wherein Clerk Calvert has exacted from an applicant for registration three yvears back dues before issuing him a cer- tificate as a licentiate under the new law. The druggist in this case holds the sec- retary’s receipts for the three years, but it should be stated in justice to Calvert that he is acting in this under the rules of the new board. At all events, this is but one case, although it may be made the test case. “I have a large number of the druggists in the city behind me,” said Attorney Kingwell vesterday, ‘“‘and I believe the law will not stand. There are several ways by which I will get into court. In the first place, back fees have been ex- acted from some of my clients, and I may bring suit against the board to com- | pel the restitution of those fees. Or I may bring mandamus proceedings to com- pel the secretary of the State board to register another of my clients without the payment of fees at all. There is one man on our side, a very good man, but I pre- fer not to name him at present, who has refused to register, claiming his right to make a living under the constitution, and | a writ of mandamus on this contention would bring the constitutionality of the new law directly at issue. At all events, I will move in the matter within the next two days.” But greater than the hardship that is worked by the new law upon the full- fledged druggists is that worked by the interpretation of the law by the State board upon those young men who are just from the schools and who have been taught, in theory at least, all that it is| fn the power of the State to teach of pharmacy. The present Board of Phar- macy is composed of W. M. Searby of San Francisco, who is also the dean of the California College of Pharmacy, affiliated with the State University; H. J. Finger of Sarta Barbara, E. A. Baer of Bakers- fleld, C. H. Rowley of Santa Barbara, F. D. Owen of Los Angeles and J. J. Crow- ley of San Francisco. These gentlemen are all registered pharmacists. They have been registered by their own secre- tary, John Calvert, under the new law and 'without any examination so far as the public is informed. Technical Education Wasted. As dean of the California College of Pharmacy, Mr. Searby may be fairly as- sumed to be in a sense responsible for the acquirements of the young men turned out of the college as compétent pharma- cists. And vet every one of those young men who has applied for registration un- der the new law has been informed that the State board will not recognize cre- dentials from the State institution as suf- ficient, and that he must pay his $5 and come up for examination before the State board in due time. The milk in this examination cocoanut is that it means an assessment of $5 ex- tra levied upon every druggist in the State and of $2_extra upon every boy in a drug store. Now it is estimated that there are in the State of California 1000 druggists, employing perhaps 1000 assist- ants and as many helpers, or boys. An assessment of $5 and $2 a head upon these, respectively, would foot up the handsome sum of $25,000. In addition to this, each druggist and each qualified clerk would pay his $2 per year and each boy.in a store his $1, under the law. That would mean $5000 more, making a clean total of $30,000. There is a provision in the new law that the State Board of Pharmacy shall pay its own expenses, and that the balance of the money in its hands, after paying such expenses, shall be paid to the State Treasurer, who shall keep it as a special fund to be used in carrying out the provisions of the law. But there is no provision for the regulation of the ex- penses of the State board by any author- ity other than its own, nor for the audit- ing of its accounts by any State official not directly connected with the board.

WOULD GOMBINE STAFF BUREAUS Long’s Plan to Stop All Wrangling in Ship Construction. e WASHINGTON, July 16.—Secretary Long has in hand the report of the naval board, charged with the preparation of plans of the naval station for the Phil- ippines, at Olongapo, on Subig Bay. The board has been stopped from submitting a detailed project by reason cf the broaching of the proposition to naugu- | 1ate at ti Secreta s point the favorite project of Long looking to a combination of the various staff bureaus in its man- | agement. The board asks the Secretary | for &irection in this matter. Under the existing practice each of the four bureaus | —Naval Construction, Steam Engineering, Equipment and Yards and Docks—main- | tains independent establishments in each yard. Secretary Long has recommended | to Congress a consolidation of the bu- reaus in the Navy Department itself un- der one head, so as to rid the service of the wrangling and jealousies that mar the | best plans for ship construction. Several preliminary tions must first be passed on by the various bureaus of the department before the plans for the | new station can be prepared. It is said that even the .ocation of the station in Subig Bay has not yet been absolutely de- termined ocn. Admiral Taylor has asked for the appointment of an additional mem- ber of the board and has recommended the appointment of Lleutenant Niblack, who has recently returned from the Phil- ippines.
