Biasioli went about the business of set- ugly neighbors so that they would be in no danger of death by fire. A still alarm was turned in. Engine No. 7 answered the call. The firemen naturally became sus- picious as to the origin of the blaze and telephoned for Fire Marshal Towe. Towe auestioned the lad, and He at once, with many sobs, confessed the whole miserable truth. Detective T. B. Gibson was sent for and he made the arrest. Hopes She Will Be in Court.

P READY T0 URGE Board of Trade Prepares to Enlist Other Bodies. Meoting Is Called to Plan a Way to Interest Congress. o gty The Board of Trade of San Francisco will take up the matter of the necessary improvements for the Mare Island navy yard at a meeting which has been called by President A. A. Watkins, to be held on Thursday of the present week. The sup- position is that the board will adopt reso- lutions which will be subsequently sub- mitted to the Chamber of Commerce, Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Assocla- tlon, Merchants’ Association, San Fran- cisco Produce Exchange and the newly organized Merchants’ Exchange for in- ‘When the merchants of San Francisco recently went to Mare Island to inspect the yard and to be informed con- cerning the work that needs to be done to provide the best facilities for the build- ing and repairing of ships of the navy, resolutions had been prepared at the in- stance of the committee. representing the Vallejo Board of Trade and these were handed to President Watkins, who presid: ed at the informal mcetings that were held on the steamer General Frisbie while the merchants were journeying to and from the yard. The general suggestions that were con- taincd in these resolutions will be the basis of action by the San Francisco Board of Trade. They recommend the immedlate construction of the stone dry dock at the yard and also the deepening of the water over the San Pablo flat, that warships may find no Jdifficulty in going to the yard freely. The contract for the dry dock only awaits the signature of the Secretary of the Navy, having been pre- ‘| pared under the direction of a naval board and having been accepted as entirely sat- isfactory by the contractors, who are ready to go to work at once. The other groject, the deepening of the water, has een recommended by Colonel Heuer. The resolutions to be adopted will also deal with the diversion of repair work for the Mare Island yard to Port Orchard and to the ship yards of the Atlantic coast. The merchants who went to Mare Island were strongly in favor of vigor- ously calling this matter to the attention of Congress. There is no line of business in San Francisco that is not interested financially in having times brisk at Mare Island, for all the supplies, as Secretdry Campbell of the Vallejo Board of Trade sald, in addressing the merchants, come from San Francieco. The meeting on the General Frisbie was informal and that was the reason that no action was taken during the trip. The course adopted by the San Francisco Board of Trade will re- sult in having all the influence that can be secured back of the action of the com- mercial bodies of the ci CRICKETERS CONSENT TO BURY THE HATCHET Resolution That Alameda Club For- feit All Matches Played This Season Is Withdrawn. A meeting of the board of directors of the California Cricket Assoclation was held last night, at which delegates were present from the Alameda, California, Pa- cific and Santa Cruz clubs.

E. G. Sloman, one of the delegates of the California Cricket Club, introduced a motion that the Alameda Club, having in- cluded in its team a player who left the Californias when not in good standing, forfeit all its matches for the pennant played during the present season. After a long and vigorous discussion, in which all the delegates took part, the motion was withdrawn. President Edward Brown appointed H. C. Casidy, R. B. Hogue and A. G.

Avery at the weekly meeting of the Presbyterian Min- isterial Union, the subjeet of the paper being “The Bible, What Is It?” In presenting the address, the speaker dwelt upon six mest important facts, namely; That the Bible furnishes a mass of highly important historical data, un- obtainable elsewhere in literature; that the work extending through fifteen cen- turies shows a remarkable harmony of thought; that the writings present a code perfect and unapproachable;: that the Scriptures present a knowledge of events still deep in the future; that the writers distinctly claim divine guidance {and that the Savior recognized the Old | Testament as the word of God.
