LOS ANGELES, April 29.—A large num-= [ \WONDER WHY? ber of delegates to the -biennial conven= tion of the General Federation of Wo~ men’s Clubs arrived in Los Angeles to- day, and by to-morrow afternoon prac- tically all will have been escorted to their headquarters, in readiness for the open= ing session. Delegations from Georgia, including National President Mrs. Re- becca Douglas Lowe, Kansas, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, the Judson and the Raymond-Whitcomb parties came in during the day. Mrs. Lowe's party ‘was met at San Bernardino by a local re- ception committee and escorted to head- quarters in the Van Nuys Hotel. Mrs. Lowe expressed herself as delight- ed with her five days’ trip across the con- tirent and was none the worse for the long journey. When asked.if she expeci- ed any serious contests in the convention on the subjects of reorganization and the color line the national president was nor- ccmmittal and blandly repiied that she had not given either question serious thought. ““Oh, I am sure there won't be any,” she continued. ‘“We always have had de- lightful times at our biennials, and I an- ticipate the best convention of all here in your beautiful city. I really haven't any opinions myself. I am willing, more than willing, to abide by the decision of the majority. I have perfect faith in the good sense and wisdom of our women, and whether we reorganize or not, or whatever steps are taken, will be after judicious deliberation by the women, and the verdict will be acceptable to me. I am the presiding officer only, and my duty is solely to see that everybody has fair play.” It was suggested to Mrs. Lowe that the women were greatly excited over these questions, and she was asked if she didn’t really believe that this biennial would prove something out of the ordinary. “I have heard nothing at all about all this,” replied Mrs. Lowe. “To speak for my State—although I have been quite de- tached from State work for several years past—I will say that the women of Geor- gla are not at all concerned over the questions indicated. Indeed, I have not heard the subjects discussed anywhere. I have no fixed opinion myself.” GRAND CANYON, ATk Three Santa Fe trains en route to Los Angeles and numbering 500 club women spent to-day sightseeing at the Grand Canyon. Mrs. N. P.

Immediately upon the gdjournment of the Grand Parlor, at noofl, a parade was formed, in charge of Grand Marshal Taaffe. Hastings' band led the van, and the members of the local parlor, with Leonard Winkle as marshal, preceded the members of the Grand Parlor, who pre- | sented a fine appearance on the march to the beach. Great preparations had been made for the mussel bake. In the rear of the bath- nouse a monster pit had been dug; rocks had been placed to hine the bottom and sides, and all night long Head Chef Frank Gilbert watched the fire. At 7 o'clock this morning 100 sacks of mussels were placed on the rocks. - They were then covered with canvas and wet sacks, | over which w placed a deep layer of gand. When disinterred the bivalves were done “to the queen’s taste.” About 300 pounds of potatoes were baked in the pit | as a side issue. Under a beautiful bower the tables were get. The spot chosen was beneath the immense veranda in front of the plunge baths, skirting Monterey Bay and scarce 200 feet from the rolling surf. Above and | on the sides redwood boughs and ferns had been placed, and the green foliage was interspersed with calla lilies. Besides the mussels and potatoes there were nu- merous varieties of liquid refreshments, and the banqueters consumed 300 loaves of bread, two kegs of pickles and several including street- | (@ <fmjrfiriminiminininininimifuimieleinieuininfnininimifrinieinintlaiel MILLER SWEARS 10 HIS CHARGES Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, April 2.—The charges made before the City Council last night by Henry E. Miller, who accused Andrew J. Mackenzie and other members of the Police and Fire Commission of malfeas- ance in office.and asked for the removal of Mackenzie, were sworn to ‘to-day by | Miller and formally filed with City Clerk Cook by Attorney H. A. Hardinge. This probably means an investigation, in ac- cordance with the City Council's resolu- tions of last night. The. resolutions de- nounced Miller as an erratic and irre- sponsible person and contained a clause with the proviso that the Council would investigate the charges “if sworn to by a | responsible person.” It Is not belleved the Council will take refuge behind the pro- viso, especially as the accused men de- clare that they court a hearing. Miller and his backers declare the half has not been told; that not only will they show that extertion has been practiced in the Fire Department and among the gamblers, but that the “gang” has levied upon all departments of city work. ‘While the charges are centered upon Andrew J. Mackenzie, other members of the commission are included in a blanket charge. If the accusations against Mac- kenzie can be proved, the others will be taken up one at a time. It is known that Miller has recelved the backing of reput- Noteworthy Facts. pollin fo the Enormous 1900° aris Sales in 1901 exceeded Figures—28,000,000 bottles, Apollinaris “THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.” Bottled at, and imported from, wagonloads of oranges.

TWO CITIES MADE HAPPY. | In the Grand Parlor session this morn- | ing the most exciting business was the | seicction of the next place of meeting. Bakersfield was chosen. George Cos- grave presented the claims of Fresno, promising the .delegates all the raisins they could consume. J. "W. Ahern of Bakersfield told of his nine days' trip to Santa Cruz and of the hot air he had ex- pelled in advancing the attractions of { his city. He promised to show the dele- gates ihe champlonship oil belt, the blg- gest irrigation ditch, the finest alfalfa patch, the sturdiest’ boys and the pret- tiest girls in the State. The vote was by roll call and the majority was with the Kern metropolis. There being no opposition, Santa Rosa was unanimously awarded-the Admission day celebration.” * At the afternoon session the report of grand trustees in regard to the pres- ation of the historic landmarks of Cal- ifornia was read by Past Grand President J. Knowland and adopted. In this report it was recommended that immediate steps be taken for the preservation of land- | marks connected witht the early history | of the State. Those particularly pointed | dut were/ the ruins of Fort Ross, in So- noma County, where a Russian colony was founded in 1812; Colton Hall, in Mon.- terey, where California’s first constitu- | tional convention was held, and all the | old missions, whose history is so inter- | woven with the early life of the State. It was recommended that the new grand president appoint a_committee of seven, to be known as the historic landmark committee, to work in conjunction with able citizens and that some witnesses have been secured. According to Miller, the money collected from . the flre‘?len was deposited in the Commercial and-Savings Bank of this city | by 1he men who made the collections and | was subsequently drawn from the bank, turned over to the Chief of the Fire De- partment and by him taken to the Cali- fornia Club, where it was given to John D. Mackenzie, now a State Harbor Com- missioner. If the charges are true, the gamblers were the main support of the California Club. It is declared in the accusation that they were assessed $25 a month and sometimes as much as $00 a month was . | carried to the California Club by Frank Cheek, a saloon-keeper, who gave the | money to John D. Mackenzie. The Police ! Commissioners are charged with having { known of this alleged system of black- | mail. Mayor Martin and the Council make light of the charges and denounce them | as malicious, The Mayor sald that no | special meeting would be called to con- sider them, but that they would be taken | 2p at the Council’s meeting next Monday | night. . FREIGHTERS TO CONNECT SEATTLE WITH ORIENT Five Great Steamships to Ply Between Puget Sound and Ports of { Tar East. SEATTLE, April 20.—The establishment of a new line of steamers, to be operated from Seattle and Tacoma in connection with the Northern Pacific, is announced in a special dispatch from Boston to thc | Post-Intelligencer. The company has been | financed in Boston by the banking house | of Kicder, Peabody & Co. | The ~stéamer Shawmut of 11,200 tons, launched at Baltimore on December 11, sailed from Philadelphia for Seattle to- day and upon arrival will at once begin her voyage, which will extend from the Sound to Vladivostok, Chinese and Jap- anese ports and Manila. A sister ship, the Tremont, is now being built at Baltl- more for the company._ Other vessels al- ready procured are the Hyades, the Plefa- des and the Lyra, well known in Pacific ports. Frank Waterhouse & Co. of Seat- tle are to Pacific Coast managers of the line. An official of#the company is ;wmed in the special from Boston as say-' ng: #ihe line will be for trelght purposes only, and, if everything goes as we ex- ect, it will not be long before we will ave to build more steamers.” Must Pay' Nearly a Million. CHICAGO, April 2.—A judgment for 952,017 against Jose F. de Navarro and in favor of the New York Loan and Im- rovement Company was_entered in the upreme Court to-day. Navarro is the father-in-law of Mary Anderson, the re- tired actress, and the bullder of the Na- varro flats in Fifty-ninth street. The judgment is the result of the financial stress in which Navarro became involved the Apollinaris Spring, Rhenish Prussia, Germany, charged only with its OWN Natural Gas, in —_— TACOMA.

Washington Dodge of San Francisco spcke at some length on a suggestion that the order interest itself in the ques- Sons of irrigation and forest preserva- on. . During the evening sesslon Senator Bel- shaw reported for the committee on leg- islation. A number of changes in the constitution were made. The seven trus- tees are to be. elec! ,&t large, and in consequence the wol the committee on redistricting the State came to an end. An amendment was passed delegating to the board of grand officers power to re- move a grand officer for neglect of duty or for unbecoming conduct. A new com- mittee was authorized—that on the de- velopment of ‘the resources of California. It is to consist of eleven members, who are to act with similar committees from other organizations for the promotion of the material welfare of the State. An other committee, on “publicity and press,’ is to receive information from the officers and members of each parlor and give it out to the press of the State. Anothe committee of ten, on “home industr: was created. . A MASONS ENTERTAIN. The first half-hour of the Grand Parlor session this evening was taken up with a stereopticon exhibition for the exemplifi- cation of the ritual. Native Son Masons who are in attendance at the Grand Par- lor, {o the number of about seventy, were the guests of the local Masonic fraternity, which tendered them a reception in Ma- sonic Temple. It was an informal affair |and was followed by a banquet in tne | Masonic collation-room. The tables had been elegantly decorated for the occasion, and Worthy Master T. G. McCreary was | toastmaster. There were speeches by GAFTAIN DIES N IATE'S AR HAMBURG, April 20.—The Hamburg- | American line steamer Deutschland, dis- abled at sea by the loss of her rudder while on a voyage from New York, has been examined and the officlals of the company admit that the repairs will neces- sitate laying up the vessel for some time. he Deutscnland will proceed to Belfast for Royal Roads. BERLIN, April 20.—Captain A. Albers of the Hamburg-American — steamer Deutschland fell dead of heart failure in | approaching the port of Cuxhaven. He vired in the arms of his first officer, wlo caught him as he fell. The long hours spent by Captain Al- | bers on the bridge of the vessel after the loss of her rudder at sea, which occurred before the Deutschland reached Plymouth and during the passage of the North Sea, probably hastened the captain’s collapse. ‘As the senior captain of the Hamburg- American Steam Packet Company, Cap- tain Albers expected to retire after a few more trips. Emperor William has sent a telegram to the Hamburg-American Com- pany, in which he expresses his sorrow at the loss of so excellent and canable an “officer, who ‘brought my brother.from the United States. The steering of the rudderless Deutschland with her screws ‘on her last homeward trip was a master stroke of seamanship. Honor to his mem- ory.” m‘:sh to Yosemite Valley. YOSEMITE, April 29.—Never before in the history of Yosemite Valley has there been such a rush of travel. More than 500 tourists have passed over the Wawona route into the valley during April. All the trails in the valley are open. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Parasites ‘Cause All Hair Troubles. Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp and hair are caused by parasite germs. The importance of this discovery by Pro- fessor Unna of the Charity Hospital, Hamburg, Germany, can not be overesti- mated. It explains why ordinary hair preparations, even of the most expensive character, fail to cure dandruff; because they do not, and they can not, kill the dandruft germ. The only hair preparation in the world that positively destroys the dandruff parasites that burrow up the scalp into scales called scurf or dandruff, is Newbro's Herpicide. In addition to its destroying the dandruff germ Herpicide is also a delightful hair dressing, making the hair glossy and soft as silk. the charthouse of his vessel as she was | many of the Thomas Flint of San Juan and Judge Angellotti of San Rafael are both past grand masters of the Masons in Califor- nia, and C. 8.
