REFUSES TO BE CURED OF | DANDEUFF AND BALDNESS | for Failing to Submit to Treatment. E. C. Parker filed suit yesterday in the Justices’ Court against Walter Hayes, for 3299 damages, for alleged failure of the de- | fendant to present himself to be cured of | dandruff and threatened baldness. The complaint says: “On February 12, 1900, the defendant, Walter Hayes, and the Hirsutine Com- pany, entered into a contract with each | other, whers it was agreed that the said comp: would cure the defendant | of dundruff on the scalp of his head and stop his hair from falling out and cause a growth of hair to come on his head, and defendant agreed to pay the company $300 when the services were rendered. De- fendant further agreed to present himself daily for ten months for treatment, and if he falled to carry out his contract to forfeit $300.” Defendant did not present himself for treatment and the Hirsutine Company as- signed the claim to Parker, who brought —_————— Good Ale Like Evans’ Is the most healthful beverage one can take, Just right for all occasions.

GEARY, chairman of the late Chinese Exclusion Con- vention as well as of the executive committee of that organization, left the city quietly yesterday af- ternoon and announced that he would not return until to-morrow, at which time he promised to name the remaining two members of the committee of five which is to go to Washington in the interests of exclusion. ‘When Geary accepted the responsibility of naming the committee he evidently did not realize the character of the job on his hands. He presided at the meeting of the executive committee Thursday evening at which Mayor Phelan, Andrew Furuseth, secretary - of the Sailors’ Union, and Truxton Beale were chosen as members of the Washington committee. This left two members still to be se- lected by Geary, and, as there was some promise that the expenses of the junket- ing tour to the national capital might be paid out of funds to be raised by parties and societies interested in exclusion, a rush for the honors resulted. Pressure was brought to bear upon Geary to ap- point this and that man, and so pressing were the apolicants that Geary resolved to hie himself to the country, where he might think the matter over. On his re- turn to-morrow his selections will be an- nounced to the committee. The convention authorized the commit- tee to appoint a secretary for the Wash- Ington committee and to fix his salary, the same to date from the time of his ap- pointment. Those of the executive com- mittee who were prominently identified with labor politics during the canpaign took the matter in hand yesterday, and John McLaughlin, secretary of the Broth- erhood of Teamsters, was selected for SENATOR SIS 5 1ENORED Democratic Tactics Chinese Exclusion Convention. in There was no open attempt on the part of Democratic politicians who were prom- inent in the -Chinese ‘Exclusion - Con- vention to outgeneral the Republicans. It was observed at the outset that the Re- publicans wete prepared to take care.of themselves. In the Democratic camp there was active effort.to send some of the leaders to the front and keep: others in the rear. 'The programmers managed early in the convention to sidetrack J. C. Sims, chalrman of the Democratic State Central Committee, and keep him on tbe siding until near the hour of adjourn- ment. It Is surmised that Senator Sims has aspirations for Demoeratic leadership in 1902 and might easily win the nomina- tion of his party for Governor. Perhaps Sims was turned down by the program- mers to give Geary a boost, but what- ever the reason the slight did not escape the notice of Senator Sims’ personal and political friends. They regret that grat- ification of small animosities and petty prejudices were permitted to mar the con- vention. Samuel M. Shortridge was excluded from prominence:in the convention at the suggestion of the yellow press. This was regrettable, for Mr. Shortridge’s record as an advocate of Chinese exclusion is well established and his ability as an or- ator is widely recognized. The yellow newspaper in San Francisco, which fur- nished some of the Democratic hustlers with a programme, has a real or imag- inary grievance against Shortridge. Ex-Governor Budd Outplays Mayor. In the little finesse of skilled politiclans ex-Governor Budd ouiplayed Mayor Phe- lan, although the latter had the advan- tage of position. The Republicans, who were closely watching the play, noted the =kill of the ex-Governor. Mayor Sry- der of Los Angeles did not lose a trick. There is no doubt that a majority cf citizens comprising the convention had in view the extensicn of the excluslon act, but it is a well-known fact that oth- ers who sought special prominence hac in mind political advantage. The Republicaus in tac convention took a broad and patriotic view of the ques- tion. They did not g0 ip with knives sharpened to do up on2 another, but they were wary of their political opponents and have no cause to .regret their vigilance. It cannot be said that either party gaincd special advantage in the council of de- liberation. It is a source of regret, how- ever, that an occasioa of so much con- cern to California shou'd have been used by Democratic cliques and factions to so- cretly gratify a spirit of resentment. Af- ter all, the convention has not advanced any aspirant’'s chances for gubernatorial or congressional honors, and if it has not added much to.the store of wisdom on the main proposition to exclude the Chi- nese from competition with white labor it has done no harm to the cause of ex- clusion. The yellow press announcement that Shortridge was given a back seat among he silent because he has Chinese clients is the most amusing statement of the season, when it is cons'dered that Geary, the chairman of the convention, has had more than his share of the business In landing Chinese in California. Their Chinese Landing Records. The Mongolian buslness which Short- ridge holds or has ever held is a mere trifie compared with Geary’s patronage ir. the same line.. If ali the Chinamen brought ashore by Geary were placed tn column and procession might extend from the Federal courthouse to Sullivan's al- ley, in Chinatown. Duncan E. McKinlay, who was an elo- quent speaker n the ccnvention, has had more Chinese clients . than Shortridge ever had. Geary, however, has had the cream of the business.

The with the number they are likely to ex clude. Of course, thera is nothing po- litical in this comment. It happens that the Republican lawyers are almost as en- terprising as tkelr Democratic brothers ‘at the bar In pursuit of Chinese clients, but the people may want to know if the Republicans can produce a lawyer who can match Geary in the speclal field of landing Chinese under the color of the law. Perhaps oig politicians belonging to the Democratic Natioval Committee mas organize steamship lines and transfor coolles from China to Mexico, so that the Chinese may get to California through the back door, but suck admission woul2 not be lawful. v SAN FRANCISCO - CAL.” number landed can then be compared | the place. Although McLaughlin's selec- tion for this responsible positlon was not definitely admitted, it is certain that he is the man, and that his selection will be formally announced t0-moTTow. . Discuss Salary Question. The question of McLaughlin's . salary was discussed by the members of the executive committee, but no conclusion i.as been reached. Some of his partisans are seeking to have the figure fixed at $250 a month, and it is likely that this sum will be allowed. The expenses of the ‘Washington committee will probably be partly. met by contributions from the va- rious unions of this city. 1t was reported | yesterday that an appeal to_the labor or- | ganizations to this effect was.in prepara. tion, but this statement could not be ‘verified. Now that the convention is a thing of the past some of the incidents of the gathering which were kept qulet for po- litical purposes, as it appears, are grad- ually creeping to the surface. Whether or not the convention was called more in the interests of certain indlviduals who have political aspirations than of the peo- ple at large remains to be seen. Why it was necessary to mutilate telegrams to the conventicn in order to mislead the delegates as to certain prevalling condl- tions ' is a matter that is puzzling all who attended the sessions of the gather- ing. That a telegram was mutilated by | Chairman Geary or on his order there is documentary evidence. The telegram was from Congressman J. C. Needham, and in its entirety was as follows: WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 19L—Hon. James D. Phelan, San Francisco: I have seen the President. Have best authority fcr saying that he will not only recommend in his, méssage the re-enactment of the Geary law, but will | 80 further and urge that it be made stronger.

SCHOOL DIRECTOR MARK CHARGED WITH PREJUDICE Miss McKinney Objects to Trial by Board of Education on That Ground. Miss Mary C. McKinney is making a determined effort to prevent the Board: of Equcation from trying kLer on the charges preferred against her by Principal Albert Lyser of the John Swett Grammac School. She applied ts the Superfor Court yesterday for a writ t) restrain the board from trying her or the ground that Schoo! Director C. W. Mark is prejudiced against her. She bases the ailegation on ths statement that Mark to.d Attorney S. V Costello he thought she Was of unsound mind. Mark, the schoolteacher allegen, also sald that he belicved the unsound- ness of mind was hereditary. Judge Dunne issued #n alternative writ, returnable before Julge Hunt Decem- ber 13. PSRN S ‘Williams’ Costly Crackers. George Willilams, who was convicted by a jury in Judge Fritz's court Thursday of petty larceny, appeared for sentence yesterday and was ordered to pay $50, with the alternative of twenty-five days in jail. He was given till to-morrow to pay the fine. Willlams was a non-union teamster and during the strike stole three boxes of crackers, valued at $150, belong- Ing to the Portland Cracker Company. GEARY MAKES SUDDEN DEPARTURE TO AVOID PERSISTENT POLITICIANS Would-Be Chinese Exclusion Committeemen, Scenting Possibility of Free Ttip to Washington, Make Rush on Chairman of Late Convention and Force Him to Flee. ' I predict that the law will be re-enacted by | practically unanimous vote In both houses of Congress, J. C. NEEDHAM. ‘When Mayor Phelan received this tele- gram he turned it over to the secretary of the convention, who had several coples struck off for the press.. These coples ‘were submitted to Chairman Geary prior to the reading of the dispatch to the con- vention, and when they were furnished to the reporters the words, “I predict that the law will be re-enacted by practically unanimous vote in both houses of Con- gress,” had been stricken out by pencil. The telegram In its abbreviated form was then read to the delegates and received with great applause. . Why it was deemed wise to cut out the prediction of Congressman Needham is & secret buried in Geary’s breast. He may have thought that Needham's pre- diction, coming as it did from a man on the fleld and occupying a position which rendered his opinion one of value, was both superfluous and harmful. To those who_are trying to solve the enigma it has been suggested that the publication of Needham's prediction, based upon an in- timate knowledge of the real situation, might have had the effect of convincing some of the non-political delegates that the necessity for a protracted fight did not exist. This view once firmly grounded, those of the conventfon who are seeking to make Chinese exclusion a vehicle in which to ride into political offices might find themselves in the position of the man who had to go way back and sit down. Whatever the reason for the cutting of Needham’s telegram by Geary may have been, it is certain that the act is occa- sloning considerable gossip, and there are many who declare that it is up to Geary to make some sort of explanation. L o I S e 2 S S SR S S O REPY N [NEGRD SHOOTS TWO PERSONS Row on Pacific Street Ends in Serious Manner. Thomas J. Gibbs, a negro, shot James ‘Wilson and George Tyler,"the former a negro and the latter a Portuguese, dur- ing a fight in the Surprise saloon, 429 Pa- cific street, last night. A bullet struck Wilson on the left breast, causing -a su- perficial wound. Tyler was shot through the left wrist. The trouble grew indi- rectly out of the recent strike. Gibbs and another negro named Wynn Smith came to the coast from Cincinnati last summer and went to work on the water front in the places of striking stevedores. When the strike was over both werg thrown out of -employment, and when Smith needed money Gibbs loaned him & dollar. Since the loan was made b8 -has become poverty-stricken, and Smith, although a debtor, wore an alr of prosperity. Both met last night, and Gibbs reminded Smith of his obli- gation. “Funny,” he said, “you can wear neck- tles and I have to go around hungry.” Thereupon Smith, instead of producing the dollar, hurled a large cobblestone at Gibbs’ head, knocking the latter to the floor. The bartender of the saloon, James ‘Wilson, then took a hand and attempted to elect Gibbs. The last named resisted. and drawing a revolver fired four shots. One struck Wilson, another hit Tyler, who was a spectator and who took no part in the quarrel, and the others were imbedded in the wall. The injured men were treated at the Harbor Hospital. Gibbs tried to escape after he did the shooting, but was cap- tured after a long chase by Officers Al Holmes and Bob Skain.

The Merchants’ Assoclation petitioned the Board of Supervisors yesterday to postpone final action on the passage of the ordinances declaring that public in- terest demands the acquisition of the Geary street road, Tuolumne water sup- ply, new sewer system, erection of nine- teen school buildings and alterations to six existing buildings, site for a public library building, and public park in the Mission, south of Market street, and the Western Addition. The communication says that the propositions involve the expenditure of $50,000,000, and the citizens desire to in- vestigate their merits 5o as to be prepared to vote intelligently on the proposed bond issue.

BOLD BURGLARS oTEAL JEWELRY A Washington = Street House Loses Heavily by Creok’s Visit. ‘Burglars entered the jewelry store con- ducted by Sam Cohan at 601% Washington street early yesterday morning and took coin and valuables amounting to $500. This is the third burglary on police rec- ords that has happened in this store ‘within one year. ‘When Cohan came to his place of busi- ness early yesterday morning he was sur- prised to find that the door of the place was open, the lock having been pried off. A small jimmy with which the job was done lay inside on the floor. Cohan rushed to the Central police sta- tlon and officers accompanied him to ‘Washington street while he made an in- vestigation. Cohan found that $100 in gold coin had been taken and rings, precious stones and watches valued at $400 were missing. All these were secured in a small drawer, which was also pried open with the jimmy. Cohan has lost over $2000 during the past year on account of the visits of burglars. On two other occasions money and valuables were stolen, and the police believe the same thieves committed the three crimes. —e Will of Jacob Greenwold Filed.
