105 ANGELES JOBBERS GET DIFFERENTIAL Given Control of Lower San Joaquin Valley Trade. Southern Pacific Grants Peti- tion for a Reduction in Rates. ! San Francisco Wholesalers Will Be Placed at a Disadvantage by the Proposed New Schedule.. Special Dispatch to The Call. ANGELES, Sept. 16.—The Los | Jobbers' Assoclation has scored | in all probability the greatest vie- | ever achieved for the commerce of | city. After contending for months | T & readjustment of freight rates to | Vpoints in the San Joaquin Valley, which | would give this city an equal footing with San Francisco, 2 compromise has been reached which in some lines will give Los Angeles absolute command of trade in a large section which it hag heretofore been able to reach only against a serious han- | dicap. While heretofore there has been a small differential in favor of San Fran-| cisco for trade at Bakersfield and greater differentials in favor of the metropolis at all points north of Bakersfield, Los An- geles now has a good differential in its favor for the Bakersfield trade and is in a position to share the trade of towns as far north as Visalia, with small differentials @gainst it at that extreme distance. How the Victory Was Gained. The issue was first raised in a petition to the Southern Pacific Company for a re- ! duction of rates from this city. This @ppeal was turned down abruptly by the raiiroad officials, who gave this ci to understand that any change in the rela- tionship of rates from San Francisco and LOS Angel what tor; thi Los Angeles was out of the question. { An effort was then made to bring the issue before the courts, but the Attorney General decided agalnst the suit being brought and it w annulled. | Some days ago, however, the question was brought u and a_consultation s held, in which on was repres Newmark, .

It affects the bowels, because white bread is nearl 21l starch, and starch is digested in the | intestines, not in the stomach proper. j Up under the shell of the wheat berry nature has provided a curious deposit, | which s turncd Into diastase when it is | subjected to the saliva and to the pan-| creatic juices in the human intestines. | This diastase is absolutely necessary to digest starch and turn it into grape sugar, which is the next form: but that part of the wheat berry makes dark flour, and the dern miller cannot recadily sell dark r, =0 mnature’s valuable digester is (hrown out and the human system must | handle the ch as best it can, without the help that nature intended. Small wonder that appendicitis, perito- nitis, constipation and all sorts of trouble exist when we go =0 contrary to nature’s Jaw. The food experts that perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing these facts, mede use in their experiments of the en- tire wheat and barley, .including all the | perts, and subjected them to moisture and long continued warmth, which allows roper conditions for devel- 2se outside of the human time and the oping the dias vody. In this way the starchy part is trans- formed into grape-sugar in a perfectly natural manner, without the use of chem- icals or any outside ingrecients. The lit- tie sparkling crystals of grape-sugar can be seen on the pleces of Grape-Nuts. This food therefore is naturally pre-digested, and its use in piace of bread will quickly | correct the troubles that have been | brought about by the too free use of sterch in the food, and that is very com- mon in the human race to-day The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten | days or two weeks and the discontinuance of ordinary white bread is very marked. | user will gain rapidly in strength and sical and menakjicalth. | eitic squadron, | Methodist Epis | dist church. { morning.

Briggs’ request this afternoon for permission to withdraw from the confer- ence and from membership in the Metho- His request was granted with sorrow, but great cordiality was ex- pressed by all the members and resolu- tions of good will and fellowship to him in his determination were adopted by a unanimous rising vote. Dr. Briggs is well known in San Fran cisco, having together with his brother, Dr. A. H. Briggs, instituted the “forward movement’ in that city last October. He is one of the most brilliant young men in California Methodism. The Briggs broth- ers had been selected to fill as associate pastors the puipit of the Central Church in San Francisco the coming year, and members of that church are greatly sur- prised at Dr. Herbert Briggs' action to- da Dr. Briggs gave no reason for his with- drawal beyond saying that he had been considering tha step for some time. The work of the conference was Te- sumed at 9 o'clock, reports of standing committees being the first business of the eport of the Sabbath ob- servance committee was notable for a statement that anarchy was the logical result of a desecrated Sabbath, on the ground that violation of divine laws en- genders violation of human laws.

A Jengthy and heated dis- cussion preceded the vote on this ques- . as it touches a vital point of church work and the present method of appor- tionment has been found inadequate. In connection with the temperance committee’s report Secretary Williams sald that Chaplain Potter, U. 8. A, in a recent letter to him had written: ““There is general satisfaction in Manila over the abolishing of the army canteen and the establishing in its stead of the post exchange," On motion of A. C. Bane, the Rev. Drs. F. D. Bovard and J. N. Beard were ap- pointed delegates from this conference to the coming National Anti-Saloon League convention. The report on the state of the country, presented by Dr. W. C.

James Sheehan was burned to death early this morning in a barn at the earper of Brannan and Harriet streets.

The fire was discovered about 1 o'clock, but the alarm was not turned in for a con- siderable interval, and when the depari- secured a stronghold. The barn was owned by John Hardiman, who runs a coal yard in connection with a hay and feed = business. Surrounding the barn is a regular nest of tenement houses, the tenants of which escaped with difficulty and in considerable alarm. In the feur-story tenement adjoining the barn were four families who were held imprisoned by the smoke until the arrival of the Fire Department with the chemical Sneehan is a_native of this city and a | brother of W. Sheehan, the baseball play- er. He is a young man without any regular home and has been in the habit, in spite of Hardiman's protest, of sleep- ing on the hay in the loft above the barn. He drank heavily, and it is supposed that he was under the influence of liquor when he “turned in" last night. Hardiman had no insurance on His place or on his horses, The loss includes several tons of hay. The damage to ad- Jjoining property was principally by water. R —— SERIES OF TRAGEDIES IN EARLY MORNING HOURS Chinese Woman Is Fatally Beaten, Man Swallows Acid and Strik- ers Assault Mate. An unknown Chinese woman was fatal- ly injured by robbers at Washington and Sansome streets early this morning. She was lying unconscious on the pavement when found by the police at 2 o’clock. At the Harbor Receiving Hospital, where she was taken, it was found. that her face was cut and slashed and her head horribly beaten with some blunt in- strument. It is believed that the unfortunate wo- man keeps a resort in Chinatown and 1s the possessor of considerable money. As no money was found on her person, it is presumed that her pockets were rifled by the thugs after they had. rendered her unconscious with a blow from behind.

The physicians at the Harbor Receiving Hos- ital. where Lauster was treated, belleve he will die.

Patrick Leonard, mate of the schooner Hayden Brown, was brutally beaten by strikers at an 'early hour this morning. The Hayden Brown arrived yesterday, and her crew promptly walked out. Leon- ard remained with the vessel to assist the captain.© When he left the vessel for a few hours on shore he was followed.- A number of strikers finally surrounded him at Pacific and Sansome streets and seri- ously injured him, using iron bars as weapons of offense.

Jeftries, champlon heavy- weight pugilist of the world, has put up his deposit of $2500 as an evidence of his intention to battle with Gus Ruhlin before the Twentieth Century Club in November next. Jeffries was unable to deliver the check in person to Harry Corbett, the officlal stakeholder, so he sent it over from Oakland by Eugene Van Court. He, however, forgot an essentlal thing, and that is to indorse the certificate of de-' posit. He will probably be asked to rem- edy this defect on his return from Los Anfi;lefl, where he goes to box Hank Griffin, 'a colored ‘heavy-weight. Ruhlin deposited his check on the day articles of agreement were signed.

The meeting was held in respect to the memory of the late Chief Execu- tive, and although called by the Berkeley Republican Club it was a citizéns’ meet- ing in every particular, President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California delivered the principal address, _dwelling upon the theme of the late President’s great and natural interest in mankind. The gath- ering was held in Odd Fellows' Hall and was presided over by Thomas Rickard, president of the Republican Club. = M Rickard, in calling the meeting to order, said: As president of the Berkeley Republican Club, I have asked you to come together to-nlght, not as Republicans, but as citi~ zens, 10 glve expression of what we feel concerning the loss the nation has sustained. President Wheeler then addressed the meeting, saying in part: 1 am glad to be here as a citizen of Berkeley and joln With you in an ex- pression concerning our beloved President, I trust that the whole body of citizens will assemble Thursday morning next in Har- mon Gymnasium, where the university, the churches and the people Will join togéther for an expression of last thought” and action. President McKinley was thor- oughly human. He was a man among men, * spontaneously interested in all mankind. Any one who has seen the light in his eyes when he looked into another's must have known his peculiarly kindly nature. His wonderful influenceé over man was due to the interest he took in their affairs. Prob- ably no President has ever becn so near the people. His sympathy with other men enable him to mold a wonderful influ- ence In Congress. He has given us the best realization of any President of the smooth action of this Government _when all_parts run together. Never has there been a time perhaps when the different forces that go to make the Government worked together so well as in McKinley’s administration, especially dur- ing the trying times just preceding the Spanish War. When Mr. McKinley made his recent tour through the country I think he found out what we have all recognized, that his ad- ministration was popular with the people. As we think of the party divisions of a few montlis ago this stands as a warning to us not to be led by partisan ardors to do things we do not mean to do. Many men cast their ballots because of party tra- Qitions and not according to thelr best juagment. 3 His administration was more popular than the election ‘returns show. Mr. McKinley showed a perpetual sympathy to his invalid wife that almost passes human understand- ing. That fine lovalty of his to his poor distressed wife has made him 2 model for all time to come. H. B. Griffiths was called upon and made a short address, saying in part: | This is indeed a time when every patri- otic American citizen should assemble to pay_homage to that great chleftain, now dead. It is perhaps ome of the saddest calamities in our national history. 1t has | grieved the heart of every American. Memorial services will be held by the University of California in Harmon gym- nasium Thursday morning ‘at 10:30 o’clock. President Wheeler has charge of the ar- rangements and details will not be com- pleted for another day. University exer- | cises will be suspended Thursday. | This morning the front of the library building_was draped in black.

EDUCATION THIS LAND'S RELIGION Thus Declares Professor Stephens of Cornell University. —— Special Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 16— Professor Henry Morse Stephens of Cor- nell University addressed the students this afternoon on the subject, “‘America’s Religion—the School Professor Ste- phens was enthusiastically greeted, and his remarks were frequently interrupted by the applause of the large body of stu- dents present. He said in part: I have had the opportunity of seeing enough of the different States and cities in the United States to note that there are marked, though subtle, differences hetween different parts of the country. Before leaving England I asked James Bryce, member of Parllament, what he thought about a trip to the United States. He sald that a man ought to live here at least one year in order to understand the country. I have been hers seven years and do not yet fully understand all parts of the United States. The one thing, however, that distinguishes the United States—East, West, North and South—is that education is America's religion. I do not mean to say that there are not re- ligions in the United States—far otherwise— but education is the religion. You g0 to a small Arizona town and the largest building is the schoolhouse. In Europe villages and citles are bullt about churches and cathedrals; in the United States it is the school building that dominates the architectural per- spective of the town or village. - You go to Alaska—the first brick bullding you see of im- portance In Skaguay is the public school. The church Is the center of European civilization. The universities are to America what the cathedrals are to Europe. A single interest in regard to education and a very divided one in regard to churches is what dominates the American. The Spanish vessels of exploration and conquest carried a company of which one- half were soldiers and the other half mission- aries. On the heels of the American soldier in the ‘ Philippines goes the- American schcol teacher. KEducation has taken the place of re- ligion in the make up of American civilization. If it is time that affects the traveler in Furope most, it is the conquest of space that awakens awe in the traveler in America. There is no reverence for long distances felt here— space is conquered; news can be heard and sorrow felt from one end of the continent to the other in a very short perfod. One is ever impressed in Furope and Asia and welghed down by knowledge of the historic past. But in America it is difficult to feel impressed with the reverence of the memory of man—the coun- try is so very new. What people call the irreverence of the American people for the past is due to the fact that they have no relics of past Institutions. That the United States should refuse to recognize that their civilization grew out ‘of Grecian, Roman and possibly English institu- tions is absurd. The American boy should not be taught American history only, as I once heard a professor claim, in order fo be a good citizen of the United States. May Be “King” McNamara. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 16.—A young man who gives his name as Frank Rodger: but who is believed to be John H.

Expert Opens Isaak’s Safe. The former residence of Abraham Isaak and_the meeting place of the anarchists of this city several months ago is situat- | ed at 236 Clinton Park. After Isaak moved out of the house George Brick- wedel, a porter in the employ of the Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden-Company, moved in there with his family. . Brickwedel, when he first became an oc- cupant of the house, found the place in a very dirty condition. He said yesterday that the place was strewn with papers and he regrets now that he threw tnem away, as he thinks that they would have been of great value to the police. In a corner of the hall stands a large | safe. Brickwedel had -ittempted to open | This safe on a number of occasions. After the assassination of President McKinley a rumor was circulated that this safe con- tained valuable papers and had been used at one time by Isaak. Another rumor was to the effect that the safe was filled with | dynamite. Brickwedel was seen yesterday in regard to these rumors and he said that Ee had heard such reports and was not in a position to deny them, as he had’ never attempted to open the safe. He sald his wife was anxious to have the safe | moved out of the house, as she was nerv- | ous and afraid that it might be filled with ves. Paet Cvening The Call engaged an ex- pert and took him to the house to open the safe. It#took this skilled manipulator of safes from 7 o'clock till 11 in the even- ing to force the door of the safe open. The safe was empty, but the residents of the neighborhood will now rest easier that the mystery is solved. House Mysteriously Wired. A peculiar feature of this house is that it' Is practically a network of electric wires. In every joist and molding there are electric wires running up and down the walls. Brickwedel says that they were see of what use they are. His wife claims that they must have been used by Isaak and his anarchist friends in a private tele- phone system. She said last night that often during the week when she is in the hears a mysterious electric bell l‘lnf, ‘When questioned more closely she said that it sounded like a telephone bell and that it cerlfllnlfi did not sound like a bell ringing in the house, but that it sounded as 1 it had been placed between her house and the next. Mrs. Heal says that when Isaak left her house she was glad to see him go. She says that she mistrusted him and told him that she did not care to rent him her | rooms any longer. She says that he moved from her house to lodgings at Valencia and Eighteenth streets. - There was a Jodging house there up to a few months ago, when the furniture was sold, and one family now occuples the wholé premises.

Such ships as have crews are working as if no_strike existed and the freight is being hauled away as rapidly as it is placed on the wharves. The Brit- ish ship Clan Mackenzie with a general cargo from Liverpool will commence dis- charging this morning at Howard-street wharf No. 3. The work on the Haddon Hall Is progressing rapidly and every other ‘British ship along the front is get- ting rid of cargo with more or less expedi- tion. Captain Pritchard's protest to the Br‘l'.lhlh Cr?’r‘lsul has had a salutary effect. on the strikers. B At Broadway wharf and the Pacific Mail dock work is progressing very much as usual. The men who have taken the places .of the strikers have grown accustomed to the work and are now capable of doing just as good a day's labor as the striking longshoremen. Six vessels sailed yesterday with non- union crews, and the outlook for a general moving of the tied-up fleet is good.

But what penalty will reach those who have incited this victim by thefr vile and destructive doetrines | to_this deed of blood? | | Who is responsible for this event? Surely the cause of it is to be found in the perverse teachings of the reckless press that has 1ot hesitated to_coin conscience into dollars. So long as’ men prominent in public life or in the walks of business or in the other spheres of society are willing to recognize by social receptions, by subscriptions to papers which we all recognize as being at the foun: tion of this sad development in public opini and by their advertisements, which supgport these papers—so. long as gentlemen in your position shall give your countenance, either by social intercourse or otherwise to these enemies of mankind, to these traitors to humanity it is_idle to deplore events like this.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. i6.— The most sensational episode in the trou- ble between Treasurer. Nourse of the As- sociated Students .and the faculty commit- tee on student affairs occurred in a meet- ing of the Associated Students this after- noon. The metting was called for the pur- pose of passing a resolution giving the executive committee . of the Associated Students power to remove any official of the organization, thus covering the case of Treasurer Nourse. This resolution was laid on the table and one expressing con- fidence in Nourse was passed almost unanimously. This action came as a complete surprise to a majority of the assembled students. For a moment after. the measure was voted upon there was dead silence, and then the applause that followed showed how great was the friendly feeling tovrard Nourse on the part of at least a lirge number of students. ‘The resolution of confidence, which was introduced by E. S. Page '00, and second- ed by. M. C. Decarli "01, was as follows: Whereas, The authority of the treasurer of the Associated Students has been questiomed, and whereas, we deem a.statement of our. posi- tion advisable; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Associated Students | seemed much_ depressed | avoid every one. | weeks, $165,000 TROUBLE AHEAD FOR SHAFFER Dissatisfled = Workmen Boldly Demand His Resignation. Many Strikers Return to the Mills Against Wishes of the Others. s PITTSBURG, Sept. 16.—It was a turbu-~ lent day for President Shaffer and the general officials of the Amalgamated As- sociation. The headquarters of the or- ganization were crowded to-day from morning to evening with delegates of strikers awaiting word from the leader regarding thé settlement of the strike. The callers at the general offices were all more or less excited, and many were deep- ly incensed. Many of the strikers declared they would not respect the order calling the strike off before they were given fult particulars of the settlement, others were calling boldly for the resignation of Presi- dent Shaffer and another class demanded the ‘withdrawal of their lodges from the organization. At 6 o'clock to-night President Shaffer left the office for his home. He looked neither to the right nor to the left. He and wanted to Other officials of the or- ganization busied themselves circulating among the angry ‘men about the offices and making a plea for quietness and pa- tience. They insisted that the settlement would not prove to be so bad as had been reported. None of those who did this work was ready, however, to give any inkling of the terms granted the Amalg; mated Assoclation or how it affected the men on strike. A meeting of the tin-workers of the Star mills was held during the afternoon and the matter of the strike settlement was taken up. After the meeting the men announced that they had decided to re- main out and keewp the strike until they had Leard from sident Shaffer. They added that in case the terms were sucn as to make the Star mill non-union they would positively refuse to return to work | and would fight the battle single-handed. The American Sheet Steel Company re- ported that the strikers had returned to the idle mills in New Philadelphia. Ohio; Plcqua, Ohio, and the Etna _Standard mills in Mingo Junction, and that some had asked for work in the Canal Dover mills. The reports from the National Tube Company mills showed that over 4000 strikers in McKeesport asked for werk there in the various plants during the d2y. Of this number about 2000 were em- ployed. The other 2000 were not em- ployed owing to the mills not being ready for them. It is expected that they will all return to work during the week. The indications that the tin workers will withdraw from the Amalgamated Association shortly and form an independ- | ent organization are becoming stronger, Many of the more prominent workmen are active in suggesting this course, and of giving united aid to_those men who are standing out in the Star and Monon- gahela plants. A committee from the coupling tap in the tube works at McKeesport demanded that Superintendent Mowatt reinstate twenty men who were discharged this morning: He refused, and the couplers voted to stay out in a body. That de- partment was running with a full force to-night.

NEW WHATCOM, Wash., Sept. 16— Miss Eva Beeson, a young schoolteacher of Sunnyside, this county, committed sui- cide to-day by jumping into Lake What- com.

Chairman Green of the faculty commit- tee or student affairs could not say defi- nitely what faculty action would be taken when confronted with a draft of the reso- lution of the student body. He said that he did not believe it represented the senti- ment and feeling of a majority of the stu- s. 'k:pl(t it is the intention of the students to back Treasurer Nourse,” said Professor Green, “then the matter resolves itself into this: Either the faculty will have to abdicate and turn the control of student affairs over to the students themseives or else forbid collegiate and intercollegiate athletics altogether. Of course, you can judge which course we shall take.” 1t can readily be seen that this action of the student body may seriously affect college athletics at Stanford if they are not broufht to an absolute standstill. Mr. Nourse recently said that he would resign in the event of his resignation being abso- lutely necessary to the carrying on of ath- letics. ‘Whether he would resign now in an emergency of that kind is a question, considering the resolution passed by the Associated Students this afternoon.
