Chief Hayes, realizing soon after the arrest that a mistake had been made, fafled to make the matter public. Eligibles Named by Board. The Board of Civil Service Commission- ers, as a result of the examination for as- gistant engineers held on December 11 and 12, 1901, announced yesterday the follow- ing L=t of eligibles: Frederick C.

L : HERE is a good-natured audience down at the Grand Opera-house. Its gratitude for the occasional witticism in the new Broadhurst farce that was exploited there | 1ast night was simply touching. Perhaps it felt, which was true, that some de- cently clever folk were doing their best with some exasperatingly bad material, and sympathized accordingly. “The | House That Jack Built” is a farce on | the Hoyt order, with all the faults of the species, and only an occasional gleam of ‘the fun that persuades to its acceptance. It has not eéven the mock-plausible plot of its kind, the very modest thread of | ikelihood demanded by the farce-goer, | but offers a story in which fun and tht farce-probabilities are alike ignored. | There are glimpses of the might-have- jbeer\ in “The House That Jack Bullt,” incidents ‘almost funny, one genuinely comic situation, two or three characters with strong humorous possibilities about them, just enough to irritate with their | !unfulfl)lmen! of promise. | The company on the whole does very | well, indeed, with the material. Mar- \%firet Terry shines couspicuously as Mrs | with ooley, an Irish lady | toward the English aristocracy. She | brings a quick wit and intelligence to her worlt, and makes as much fun out of Lhe character as could possibly be made. Wil- ambition: | liam Bernard, as an old man desirous of | posing as a young one, does good work, }and Herschel Mayall in a part that fails |as an English baronet, looks well and carries off all of its scanty honors. George Pber has a Bulger role in William Slab, | but evidently finds no inspiration therein. | Lillfan - Albertson, the pretty young woman who is making such rapid strides in her work lately, plays the daughter of Dr, Jack, and does it well. All through it 18 & pity to see them wasting their time on it. The piece is very well mounted, Next week Melbourne MacDowell, in a Burd‘ou repertoire, will begin an engage- ment. Alcazar, The comedy, “A Coat of Many Colors,"” by Madeline Lucette Ryley, had its in- itial presentation in this cityat the Alca- zar Theater last night, before an appre- clative audience. It did not go with the snap that usually charaeterizes first night proGuctions at this popular theater, owing to the apparent fact that some of the players were not very familfar with their lines. The story concerns a young woman lawyer, who comes to New York from California, at the request of her father, to consult with Herman Walboys, a law- yer, as to ferreting out the parentage of a child now grown to womanhood. It Is now desired to bring the parents to- fi(her and right the child in the eyes of e world, alboys falls in love with the young woman, and it ' develops that she herself is the illegitimate child. Everything, however, ends happily by the marriage of her parents and her en- agement to Walboys, M, L, Alsop as a\bo{yn the lawyer, has a good concep- tion of the part, but he stumbled over his lines last night considerably, Another night or so will no doubt ses this reme- died, Henry Shumer as Hamilton Wal- boys, who mixes things up by marrying the daughter of Willlam McWhirter, the enemy of the Walboys family, was ade- quate, George Osbourne, the dandified father of the Walboys boys, as usual, was equal ‘fl the eccasion, oward Seott as cWhirter, an irascible old Bcotchman, f'" an_ artistic rendering of the part, al- hough his dialect was evidently made in America, Two characters, Spofford Rob- inson, ‘“‘the British Lion,” and Teddy Whiffler, the company s better than the farce, and | “the American Eagle,"” repre- | Chariey Bates, Willard Blackmore made SR sented respectively by Harry Rattenbury and -Royal Dana Tracy, should be omitted from the play. Rattenbury's idea of an Englishman is grotesque in the ex- treme. Marion Convere as Esther Gun- niig, the lady lawyer, was bright and charming, and Oza Waldrop as Lola Mc- Whirter Walboys had a part that suited her admirably. Margaret Wycherley al- ways shines as a woman of the world and as Mrs. Majendie, the erring mother !3“ l'}j)e case, she was up to her usual stan- ard. Orpheum. There is little use in commenting upon the show presented at the Orpheum this week. BEvery turn speaks for itself. The Auers, who make pretty pictures out of a | basket full of rags, are absolute novelties, and are heartily encored upon the com- pletion of every effort. While Billy CIif- ford does not sing any new songs tnis week, he renders the old ones in such in- imitable style that he retains his old pop- ularity. The Nelsons are beyond descrip- tion. The family of nine is doing an aero- batic stunt this week that will be seldom, if ever, eclipsed at the Orpheum. Eva Mudge, the ‘‘American girl who captured London,” is also capturing this city with her marvelously quick changes and nice voice. Les Troubadores Toulousians are four vocalists whose voices blend in a charming manner. Paul Cinquevalli, the juggler, is the greatest wonder that the Orpheum has ever presented to its pa- trons. With seemingly no effort, this light-fingered, quick-eyed man performs feats that appear almost impossible with slippery billiard balls and unevenly bal- anced cues. - He glves an exhibition of balancing that is simply marvelous. He also juggles a forty-eight pound cannon ball with the same ease that he would bandle a tennis ball. The Dancing Daw- sons, the six Blackbirds and the blograph close a performance that is exceptionally ®ood. California. “The White Slave” drew a full house last night at the California Theater. The quaint old play was very well received and should be seen by ‘any one interested in the drama of yesterday. It Is quaintly fashioned, quaintly acted, and the set- tings, sentiment and everythi: con- cerned are redolent of a day gone by, The drama itself still has power to attract and there is some good darky singing that adds greatly to the performance. Frank N. Drew, J. Hay Corsar, Ruth Macauley, Kate Campbell, Loduski Young and David Hartford are responsi- ble for the chief roles and take good care of their parts. The play should see a good week's business. / Next Sunday evening one of the most important attractions of the season will begin, “Nathan Hale,” with Kyle 'and a good first-ciass cempn}lll?'.‘"rd Central, The revival of the old standard drama, “Ollver Twist,” at the Central Theater last evening brought out a large first night audlence, A better performance has seldom been seen at the popular playhouse and the many strong situations were lib- erally applauded, Annette Marshall as decided success and ‘great character stam of no little ability, Nancy Sikes was a er portrayal of that her as an actress Another hit was George Webster's Fa- gin, James Corrigan’s impersonation of the brutal Bill Bikes was a strong feature of the play and is the best work he has yet done, rgie Cooper was an ideal Oliver Twist and her effort adds to her mgry {huaeslltefmx s g s the artful dedger win was clever, as was Hrnest Howe;luz -make the drama an interesting play.

The rest of the cast helped to Jimmy Britt, the popular lightweight champion, will star next week in ‘The Bowery After Dark.” The management is enlarging the gallery. Tivoli. Ferris Hartman is tunefully mystified, Arthur Cunningham is barytonically be- wildered, Yvonne Lichter and Dolores Graham are songfully puzzled for the rea- son of the peculiar success of “The Sere- nade.”” The first week drew big houses | and it was expected that the second would | in the usual order of things show a slight falling off, but strange to relate the sec- | ond week’s attendance was larger and more enthusiastic than the first. Then it | was decided to run ‘“TheSerenade” for another seven days and the management and the managed were delighted and sur- prised with the fact that the attendance ‘was better than ever before and the opera seemed to be more enjovable. There was not a vacant seat or a vacant stare in the house last night and the air was warm with shouts and laughter and hand- clapping. ‘‘The Serenade" is the most de- cided hit of the season. Columbia. Augustus Thomas' play, ‘“‘Arizona,” be- gan its second week last night at the Ca- lumbia under encouraging auspices. The success of the production is well deserved, as the situations are interesting and the characters are in the hands of capable ople. Dustin Farnum, as Lieutenant enton, is easily the best of the men, while Miss Grace Elliston acts with a charm all her own in the part of Bonita. Harrison Armstrong as Canby, the ranch owner, is well placed and does full justice to a strong part. The rest of the com- pany is all that can be desired and the piece tells a very interesting tale. Next week Blanche Walsh will be seen in two fine ‘)roductlonl. “La Madeleine,” a new emotional play by Harry Dam, and ‘“Jan- ice Meredith.” Fischer’s. “The French Maid” began its third week at Fischer's last night with a crowded house. The songs, dances and other amusing features of this very suc- cessful play appear to have lost none of their popularity, to judge from the fre- quent and vigorous applause. Harry Hermsen, as the walter, and Pilar Morin, as Suzette, seem to be the favorites. ‘“The French Maid" will be succeeded next Monday night by ‘‘Little Christopher.” Chutes. The great cycle whirl, the most sensa- tional bicycle act now before the public; the favorite monologist. Jack Symonds; Jessie Dale, phenomenal girl baritone; Zoe Matthews, coon shouter; Rose and Jeannette, juvenile dancers, and Wincher- man's trained bears furnish the excellent entertainment at the Chutes and Zoo this week, There are aquatic sports’ on the lake immediately after the performance.

M CARTHY District Council of Car- penters Reply to Union 4883. L. D. Gordon and J. M. Burke ‘Accused of Making False Claims, In connection with the strained rela- tions existing between Unlon No. 48 of the Carpenters and Joiners and P, H. McCarthy of the Building Trades Coun- cff the following communication has been Council of Carpentcrs and Joiners: To the Editor of The Call—Dear Sir: The District Council of Carpenters and Joiners, desirous of being at all ames thoroughly and clearly understood on all matters appertaining requests you to srant It space in order to place the council rizht before the public. : Certain_gentlemen—carpenters by traGe—are | now and have for some time past been engagsd | in an endeavor to confuse the minds of the | contractors and mechanics allke engaged in the | bullding business. In the press of yesterday | two_of these gentlemen, L. L. Gordon and | J. Marcus Burke, president and secretary réspectively of Union No. 483, came out with | one of the old-time scurrilous and threadbare arguments which emanate only from the man pursuing a lost cause. 1In an endeavor 1o answer the statements of fact published in the press of Sunday they deal entirely in perso alities. So completely have they been cap- tured by prejudice, malice and hate that they have entirely lost sight of the question at issue | and contented themselves with abusing Brother P. H. McCarthy, member of Union 22, presi- dent of the Building “Frades Council, and dele- Brother McCarthy is in all matters apper- taining to his office guided solely and alone by | the wish of the majority, and in this instance | of an overwhelming majority. It follows then that anything those disturbing gentiemen may have to say about P. H. McCarthy only tends to redound to his credit, because the same ele- ment for the past nine or ten years have en- deavored to disrunt, destroy and upset every- thing that has been brought about with a view to more solidly placing those engaged in th building business in the position which right fully belongs to them. £ This council by unanimous vote on last Sat- urday night iasued a statement, Which state- ment was based upon facts, and anything | those gentlemen might say to the contrary will | in the bullding business. This council reiter- ates its position, namely, that the mechanics working on the buildings or engaged in the | bullding indastry will- carry the Building | Trades Council’s card and be by that council guided solely and alone, without any interfer- ence from any outside central body not an in- | tegral part of the building industry. The article in yesterday's press says it is | not the wish of the carpenters of this district that as absolutely false and warns those gen- tlemen who are engaged in spreading these falsehoods and trying to non-unionize the car- penters of this district that the day of reckon- | ing is not far off, and that unlees they cease | their endeavor to destroy the harmonious rela- tions now existing in the building Dbusiness trouble to them is sure to come; that the Dis- trict Council speaks the sentiments of the enor- mous niajority of the carpenters in this dis- trict. and that no matter who comes or goes, whether he be a delegate from the East or from the West, from the North or from.the South, if he fs not absolutely in fayor of the Building Trades Council conducting its busi- ness harmoniously, free and independent of any entangling alliances, he will not be counte- by this, the District Council of San co. And the best illustration of that he fact that the entire membership f with the exception of a few, forty or fifty at most, pretty much ali | carpenters, are now and have always been | strictly In favor of conducting the building business on the same lines and through the has been conducting it under its constitution. The assertion that P. H. McCarthy was elim- of the baseball grounds controversy is absolutely false and Without foundation In fact, since those inter- by the board of arbitration agreed upon by Brother P. H. McCarthy in behalf of the Build- ing Trades Council to the exclusion of thé La- bor Couneil's directors, who tried to steal the lighed in the winning of the milimén’s eight- Bour day. One word to those gentlemen who would try to make this a personal matter and this council | is through, at least until it hears from those | few disturbers again. Now as to what Brother McCarthy has done. In January, 1881, Brother P. H. McCarthy, in_conjunction with Brother P. J. McGuire and five others, in the city of St. Louls started the movement whichin the city of Chicago on August 12 of the same | year resulted in ghe bringing about of a con- | vention, at whicii convention the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners was instituted. This is what Brother P. H. McCarthy and fifty or | sixty others now located in this city and county have done,. Messrs. Gordon and Burke to the | contrary notwithstanding. In 1892 Brother P.H. | McCarthy was electeg president of Local Union | No. 23. At that time Union No. 22 had 159 | members In good standing. Unfon 483 thirty- seven, and In the entire State of California not more than 300 members were enrolled under the banner of our organization. Through the energy, skill and tact displayed by Brother McCarthy and the other members | who .assisted him the organization has, from | that time to this, steadily gone up, Union 22 | having over one “thousand members and the other unjons not in contempt of the Bullding | Trades Council numerically strong in propor- | tion, and San Francisco one of the best or- | ganized cities in the United States, conducting its business through the most business-like channels of any city in the Union, endeavoring at all times to take care of the contractor, owner and general public, as well as the jour- neyman. And through 'those same chanmels Brother McCarthy and the thousands of other men working with him have, in every depart- ment of the city government, where mechanics are employed, gained for the organization the placing of union men, and to their credit may it be said that in a great many instances have these men competed for their positions by tak- ing examinations that are open, competitive, public and free, and by their superior ability have proven themselves worthy of the trust and confidence reposed in them by the eity authori- ties, For all this Brother MeCarthy, and the thousands of other union men In the buildifg industry who fought hard to bring those laws about, is now only worthy of the scorn and contempt of such entlemen as Messrs. Gor- don, Burke and others, none of whom lave at any time done one jot or tittle to improve the condition of ‘their fellow men. Finally, Mr. Editor, this District Council is, as we have said before, the District Council of thig district. It is going to continue to be such. It will run the business of this district in harmony with the constitution pf the Bulld- ing Trades Council, which is designed to pro- mote the greatest good to the greatest number engaged In the building business, regardless of what any one may say to the contrary, no matter where he comes from or who he is.

Talks of His Condition and Coming Combat With Fitzsimmons. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, March 10.—Big and strong, and in the pink of condition, Champion James J. Jeffries rolled into belated Owl e station by town this afternoon on the train, and was greeted at several of his friends. The champion now weighs between and 230 pounds, though he is not quite as heavy as on his previous visit, when he tipped the beam at 24 pounds. Jeffries was not at all averse to discus his plans and his present health. fellow: “I am feeling fine now, and have been ever since I had that bad cold in New York.” Jeffries was asked how he liked “the prospect of meeting Fitzsimmons in Los Angeles before the Century Club, and the | big man’s answer was just as ev one who knew him was sure it would Dbe: “Los Angeles is my home; I like it, and'I would rather fight here than anywhere else ‘in the country. . What financial in- ducements they can offer here I can’t sa) yet, because I don't know for sure, but as for going anywhere else in preference to this town, that is all rot. Racing Men Will ‘Be Absent. ““There will be plenty of clubs out after the mill, but I just received a telegram from San Francisco that has some bad news in it for us. The telegram says that the northern racing will close about the third week in April, and I am sure that Fitzsimmons will not get into the ring before May 1. I don't suppase the north- ern clubs will want to offer as much, or that the mill will draw nearly as much as If it came off in the racing season. That was: my hope. I thought we could fix it up all right, because I supposed the racing would last until May at any rate. The Southern Athletie Club of Louisville will be there with a good bit of a bid, and ft may get it. They tell me that the clubs are fightmg in San Fran . but I guess they will patch up their row somehow in time to get in some bids. I suppose if tney do that Harry Corbett will be behind the offers.” Then Jeffries asked a question of Man- ager McCarey, who was standing near. Said he: ‘““Mac, where would you have the mill it it came herel” ‘“We were thinking of the ball park,” was the rejoinder. ““You could take care of any crowd that was likely to show up there, I suppose?” remarked Jeffries. He was assured such was the fact. ““That’s not such a bad scheme, either,” spoke up the big fellow, after he had mused a minute, with eyes bent down toward the floor. Talks About Fitzsimmons. “I want to say something about Fitz- simmons,” continued the champion. “He is a good fighter, and if there’s anybody that doesn’t think so I can put him ri; soon. I have spent much money to get Fitz and have chased him all over the country, because there are some people who think he can beat me. If he can [ want to know it. I don't underestimate him a bit. I have fought him and I know him. Fitz hits out like a mule and you never know when he is going to cut loose with a terrific wallop. He is a dangerous man and a hard one to beat, but I think I'can put him away."” Jeffries was asked what he had figured on.as the probable gate receipts of the contest if pulled off in San Francisco in conjunction with the racing, and he s he supposed they would be about $43,000. | CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST MINISTER WU PEKING, March 10.—A prominent Man- churian censor has memorialized the thrope for the removal of Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister to the United States. The censor asserts that Wu Ting Fang corruptly retained, ostensibly for repairs to the Chinese legation in Washington, $%0,000 of the Tlentsin silver refunded by the American Government. WASHINGTON, March 10.—Minister ‘Wu said to-night that he promptly in- formed his Government as soon as the United States /turned over to him the Tientsin silver fund, and the money was placed at his disposal. An acknowledg- ment was received by telegraph. Not one cent of the fund, Wu said, could be mis- appropriated, and if any portion of it were to be used for any purpose what- ever this could be done only by the sanc. tion of the Chinese Government.
