Vincent O’Shea of Wisconsin to Lecture at the Pacific Grove Session. HE California Teachers' Assocla- tion will meet at Pacific Grove on December 30 to hold its thirty- fifth annual session. Arrange- ments have been made to secure the presence at the convention of some of the best educators in the country. Richard D. Faulkner, principal of the Franklin Grammar School and President | of the Teachers’ Assoclation, announced yesterday that among the distinguished visitors would be Elisha Benjamin And- rews, LL. D.; chancellor of the Univer- sity of Nebraska, and M. Vincent Shea, professor of the sclence and art of edu- catlion at the University of Wisconsin. The convention will be in session from December 30 to January 3, both dates in- clusive. Dr. Andrews is a graduate of Brown University, of which institution he was | in 1889 elected president. In 1892 he was appointed by President Harrison one of the members of the International Mone- tary Conference at Brussels. He served as superintendent of schools in Chicago from 1898 until August 1900, when he en- tered upon his duties as chief executive of one of the most progressive educa- tional institutions in the West, the State University of Nebraska. As an educator his reputation is world-wide and his pres- ence at the Pacific Grove convention promises to be a valuable experience for the teachers of this state. M. Vincent O'Shea is a graduate of Cornell. He joined the faculty of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin in 1897, teaching for the first year educational psychology, child study, principles of teaching, and method of recitation. He has since these, mental development, genetic psychology and observation and practice of teaching. He is well known as a writer and lecturer on educational sub- jects. Both he and Dr. Andrews will de- liver a number of addresses before the teachers’ association. b HIS ACCOUNTS IV BAD TANGLE Barbers Examine Books of Their Missing Secretary. —— All yesterday afternoon and evening the executive committee of Journeymen Bar- bers’ Union No. 148 was engaged in an investigation of the accounts of its late secretary, L Less, who is charged with having misappropriated some of the funds of the organization. The work was very tedious, as there were a large number of accounts to be gone over, and there was no way of checking them, until each indi- vidual member of the union could be heard from. From the evidence adduced yesterday it was apparent that there had been some little juggling with funds prior to the time that Less entered the political field as the Union Labor party candidate for Auditor. It is said that when Less found that he could not get the nomination for Public Administrator, and accepted the other nomination, he was promised finan- cial support to make his campaign. This funds of the union, his salary of $20 a week only being sufficlent for the support of his family. During the latter days of the campaign some of the members of the union com- plained that they were not properly cred- ited with payments upon the books of the union, but Less was ready with the excuse that politics took up so much of made and the Other complaints were One day Less was sus- ended and an investigation commenced. ‘Eess absented himself from his usual | haunts and inquiries for him at his home | were futile. | When the executive committee met at CASTERN CROOK LANDS N JHL James Bruce, Wanted in Chicago, Arrested in This City. James Bruce, allas “Slippery Jim,” a notorious Eastern crook, who is wanted in Chicagd for the theft of diamonds val- ued at several thousaud dollars, is locked up in the City Prison. He was arrested Saturday afternoon by two of Captain Seymour’'s men just as he was about to board the transport Meade. In some way the police of Chicago learned that Bruce had secured a position as a walter aboard the Meade, and they wired Captain Seymour to arrest him. Two detectives were sent, and aft- er boarding the transport they pa- tiently waited for the crook to appear. Shortly before the transport pulled out into the stream Bruce, partially disguised, walked up the ,’;angplfl.nk and was at once recognized by t.e detectives. When ques- tioned he denfed that his' name was Bruce or that he had ever been in Chi- cago. Satisfled that he was the right man the detectives tcok him to police headquarters, where afler a severe Cros: N Jne: Worlds Best in quality, comfort, corrective | the headquarters yesterday afternoon some of the members were in favor of | taking drastic measures, but as there was {|no definite charge upon which action | could be taken until the examination of | the books was completed it was decided | to present a progressive report to the | union to-night and let that body deter- mine upon further action.

HURLS A LAMP AT POLIGEMAN Colored Woman Vicious- ly Attacks Officer Duane. ’ % Sallie Jones, a colpred denizen of the Barbary Coast, threw a lighted coal oil lemp at Police Officer Duane last night, breaking his nose and setting fire to his new uniform. Duane had gone into the woman'’s home to arrest her for grand larceny, when she picked up the lamp, which was on a small table in the center of the room, and hurled it at him. The lamp struck Duane on the nosé and exploded, the burning oil setting fire to the sleeve of his uniform. After extinguishing the blaze Duane seized the woman and drag- ged her from the house. She was then taken to the City Prison and booked on charges of grand larceny and assault with a deadly weapon. ‘While patrolling his beat on Pacific street Duane was accosted by Joe Man- chini, a cook, who informed him that the Jones woman had robbed him of $3 in a house on Pinckney place. Accompanied by Manchini, Duane went to the house and proceeded to question the woman about the robbery. For a reply she picked up the lighted lamp and threw it at him. After being placed under arrest the des- erate woman fought viclously to escape. he clawed the policeman’s face and vain- ly attempted to bite his hand. With the assistance of a citizen, Duane finally man- aged to get his dusky prisoner to the Cen- tral station, where she was formally charged. - . L e e e e examination he broke down and admitted his identity. Since leaving Chicago Bruce, who it is claimed is one of the most expert sneak | thieves in the country. has made several trips to Sydney and other foreign ports, robbing the passengers of their valuables. A short time ago he was employed as a ‘waiter on an ocean liner, and when the vessel reached its destination he sudden- ly disappeared. Nothing was thought of his disappearance until the following day, when one of the gflh&eflger! discovered that his trunk had been broken open dur- ing the trip and jeweiry and other prop- erty valued at over $1000 stolen. Suspicion at once attached to Bruce, and the police of various ports were asked to arrest him. From the description given of the thief the police of Chicago recog- nized him as the man who was wanted for an unusually bold diamond robbery committed in that city. It is expected that an officer will leave Chicago to-day for this city to take charge of the prisoner. S Reduct NOVEMBER 18, | 1901, MINERS DISCUSS KCONDIKE PLOT Hatred of Canadian Rule Is Strong Along Border. Mounted Police Will Probably Be Able to Control Situation. The. story of conspiracy against Can- adian rule in the Klondike and the con- ference at Skagway November 5 of the tivil and military representatives of the United States and the Northwest Terri- tory, as published exclusively in yester- day’s call, was the subject of much dis- cussion during the day in clubs and hotel lobbies. Men recently from the gold flelds were particularly interested, and all phases of the plot and its discovery were discussed among them over and over hgain. To many the plans of the conspirators seem so chimerical that action on them does not seem the part of sane men, but curiously enough old Klondikers were strongest in the defense or the credibility of the story. Knowing the bitterness of all classes of miners, and particularly of Americans, toward the Dominion Gov- ernment and appreciating the dare devil character of a large part of the population of the mining camps, they hold that it is not at all astounding that reckless nglrltu should band together and pledge themselves to risk all and set up the standard of rebellion against the Domin- ion. Six months’ immunity from attack, argue these returned gold hunters, must have been a strong argument brought to bear upon the more cautious to induce them to give sanction to the plot, and the difficulties of invasion even during the short summer are so evident that many doubtless feel a confidence in the ability of a force of 5000 men to defend the ter- ritory against whatever force might be sent against them. There is little apprecfition in the States of the implacable hatred of thousands of American miners along the Porcupine and other creeks near the border for the Can- adian Government. They believe unalter- ably that they ought to be under Ameri- can rule and that they have been com- pelled unjustly to submit to the hated Canadian mining regulations. They feel that Americans at home must share their bitterness and that the nation would give them moral support in a revolt against the Dominion Government. Those famil- iar with conditions in the mining camps do not hesitate to say that the backbone of the strength upon which the arch-con- spirators have counted must lay along the border, in the Atlin district. They assert also thatmuch bitterness exists in Dawson and elsewhere well into the interior, such as would make the promotion of an insur- rection a comparatively easy matter, once the leaders could give assurance of tem- porary success at least. It was generally held that the discovery of the existence of the plot will mean death to the cause, for although it is al- ready too late for aid to be rushed in to reinforce the mounted police, it is believed that knowledge of the danger will place it in the power of the authorities fo cope with the conspirators. In fact the vigi- lance of the police is likely to prevent any uprising, and returned miners beliéve that it will now be mainly a matter of ferret- ing out further evidence and running to earth the ringleaders. TRIZES AWARDED TO HEBREW ORPHANS Pleasing Entertainment Presented to Visitors by Children of the Institution. The annual entertainment and distribu- tion of prizes of the Pacific Hebrew Or- phanage were held yesterday at the home, 600 Devisadero street, in the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen. The entertainment consisted of music by the military band of the orphanage and _a cantata, entitled “King Rudeness, or No Manners Land.” The children of the orphanage who took part in the production were roundly ap- plauded by the audience. Those who en- acted the principal roles were Rebecca Kohn, Harry Basker, Charles Stone, Sam Cerf, Ray Lakomy, Tiny Lakomy, Sadie Rosenthal and Cecile Daniel. After the entertainment an address was delivered by President S. W. Levy. The prizes were then awarded. Charles Stone was declared the winner of the $250 cash prize, known as the ‘“‘Bahrent bequest,” while Esther Heiltron was awarded the $100 cash prize from the funds of the ‘“pre- mium bequest.” The prizes are the inter- est of sums donated to the orphanage by Jewish citizens and are given to a boy and girl annually, who are deemed the most meritorious in the manner of deportment, scholarship and behavior. The first prizes are held in trust until the recipients are of legal age. Numerous prizes, consisting of books, toys and other useful articles were given to all the children of the in- stitution. —_———— Great Gymnasium for Stanford.
