EKOSHER BUTCHERS ANGRY. New York Dealers Take Action Against the High Prices. NEW YORK, May 4—Over 40 kosher butchers, members of the craft, met to- day to consider the high prices of meats. A proposition received with much favor was to _close the butcher shops entirely during the prevalence of high prices. An- sther equally well received proposition as to establish one store in each block nd to e the butchers from other stcres work together. It was finally de- e the matter in the hands of | a committee of thirty, to report at a meeting to-morrow. The committee was instructed to communicate with the Al- ied Butchers’ Association of Greater New York and endeavor to have them send representatives to the meeting. It was said at to-a ordinary times were 600,000 pounds a week, but that at present the sales are barely 300,000 pounds.

ERE L | MEYER NOT UNWILLING TO SUBMIT TO ARREST Participants in the New York Syn- dicate Case Need Time to Make Statement. NEW YORK, May 4.—Very little in the eo-called Webb-Meyer syndicate matter came to the surface to-day. A. L. Meyer was at his residence during the delivery. G. Creighton Webb, brother of Dr. W. Seward Webb, went to the house to- night, remained an hour and left with Hen L. Sprague, attorney for Dr. Webb. When questioned Webb said that he had stopped for Sprague, who, he thought, had been in consultation with Meyer. He also said that Webb was on his way to New York from his place in Vermont, and that he would arrive here at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning, at which time a statement would be given out. At the Meyer residence it was sald that Meyer had been in and out all day and that no atempt had been made to serve n order of arrest on him. Meyer, the in- formant said, would not try to escape the | service of any order that might be issued against him and would be at his office to-morrow. e e e e e ol ) CAPTURE THE SULTAN'S STRONGHOLD Continued From Page One. Democrats of the necessity of supplying all the speakers in the Senate on the present Philippine government bill. The events of last week caused them to de- cide to take part in the debate, and they will lead off when the bill shall be laid before the Senate at 2 o'clock to-mor- row. Senator Lodge, chairman of the Com- mittee on the Philippines, will open for them with a speech in support of the ad- ministration’s Philippine policy, with in- cidental reference to Major Gardener's report and other special phases of the Philippine question. Other Republican Senators who have indicated a purpose to address the Senate on the pending question are Foraker, Spooner, Burton, McComas and Platt of Connecticut. There probably also will be other Re- publican speakers.

OS ANGELES, May 4—Club wo- men strayed from the day-of rest tradition to-day. Mrs. Lowe led off by going to a dinner party at noon, driving to the Country Club, where goif rules even on Sunday, stopping at the garden party at itchell's country place, and calling on Mrs. Charlotte Severance, the aged moth- er of California clubs. Mrs. Dennison started early to see Pasadena and dine | with friends. Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker went to Santa Monica beach, where Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden and the Sun- shine Society held an all-day reception. | Mrs. Bookwalter took in two receptions, while almost every visitor went a-pleasur- ing some time during the day. There were tally-ho rides, trips up Mount Lowe and other outing events. Mrs. Robert- Bur- dette is about the only prominent club woman who observed the day, and she attended the service conducted by her dis- | tinguished husband. here was a declded change in the po- litical situation to-day and for the first time things are really interesting. The | ardent admirers of Mrs. Decker, being displeased at Mrs. Dennison's presiding at one of the sessions, have gathered their forces, and, notwithstanding that Mrs. Decker reiterates every hour in the day that she is not a candidate and that Mrs, | Dennison should be elected, have ranged that when Mrs. Decker appears on | the programme on Tuesday she shall be glven a rousing start toward the presi- dential_chair. At Mrs. Decker's request, Colorado has been quiescent in tnis mat- ter, but it is said that representatives of { KING'S ORDERS STARTLE LADIES LONDON, May 4—King Edward, dur- | ing last week, paild a private visit to | Westminster Abbey, which is now almost hidden from sight by the hideous scaffold- ing of the encircling stands. The King minutely inspected the arrangements, ex- pressed satisfaction at them and congrat- ulated the Duke of Norfolk, the heredit- ary Earl Marshal and Chief Butler of England, on the way in which the work had been executed. Arrangements are pending by which those who are to be present at the coro- nation will have a short interval for re- ffeshments. This will be done by the es- tablishment of a lunch room in one of the ancient cloisters. Even at the Abbey cer- emony. the service will be very long and it is considered essential that the party and the guests should have some handy place where the pangs of hunger and ex- haustion may be allayed. . The peeresses are in consternation. Ac- cording to the present arrangements the latest hour at which they will be admitted to Westminster Abbey on coronation day will be 8:30 a. m., while they are advised to be present at 8 o’clock. The calculation is made that, in order to adjust their robes and prepare other details the peer- esses will be obliged to rise long before the sun is up on the day the King is crowned, and, even then, as the West- minster Gazette says, not all the artists of Paris and London will be equal to the emergency. Business Men’s Excursion. A special train under the direction of a joint committee of the commercial bodles of San ancisco, carrying busines: leave Market-st. Ferry at 9:30 via the Santa Fe, May §, for the round trip has been made and partles desiring to join this party should make arrangements at once. The train will g0 via the Santa Fe and return via the 5. P., thus touching all impor- tant points in the San Joaquin Valley. Itiner- ary end other Information at Santa Fe Ticket Office, 641 Market st. p. m., Rate of one fare ar- —~f no less than nine States have told the Colorado delegates they would support Mrs. Decker, Among the number are Ohlo, Utah, Nebraska, Iowa and-Indlana. It is believed. however, by those on the inside that this little boom will react in favor of Mrs. Dennison and that the tick- et will be Dennison and Burdette. MRS. DENNISON’S STAND. ‘When Mrs. Dennison was asked this aft- ernoon if she would withdraw in favor of the Colorado woman, she repijed: No, for it would not be falr to my friends. I am’ the sort of candidate who has not pushed herself into the race, but having been sup- ported by my friends, I cannot withdraw. At the same time, if I should be called upon to tkrow_my support anywhere. it would be to Mrs, Decker rather than to Mrs. Burdette, for the sole reason that the former has had train- ing on the board. ‘When Mrs. Decker is questioned as to what she would do if the Dennison forces were scattered, she has glven the most beautifully elusive answers that ever came from the mouth of woman, but to the credit of Mrs. Decker it may be said she has kept herself in the background— not even sitting on the platform—in order not to injure Mrs. Dennison’s chances. The nominating committee will meet on Tuesday afternoon and, in the meantime, Mrs. Dennison is to be on trial again as a presiding officer. COLOR LINE BUGABOO. The attitude of the board of directors toward the color question, though sup- posed to be strictly secret, has leaked out. The board has decided not ta take the color question from the table, and, if it come up before the convention, it will be as an independent motion. This attitude STORM WHIRLS -~ INTO 4. LOUIS ST. LOUIS, May 4 —For a short time this afternoon =a terrific storm of wind and rain prevalled in this city and vieinity, causing consider- able damage. Lightning resulted iIn several fires, one of which destroyed the machine shops and a section of the foun- dry of William and Phillp Medart's patent pulley plant in South St. Louls. The loss is estimated at $300,000. In all parts of the city trees, fences, signs, awnings, etc, were blown down and other damage was done by the wind, which came In terrific gusts. As far as can be learned nobody was killed or injured. JFor one minute thig after- noon the wind reached a velocity of six- ty-five miles an hour, and for the five succeeding minutes it blew at the rate of fifty-two miles, after which it mod- erated. In the downtown district the wind car- ried away immense signs, throwing them into_the streets and breaking plate glass windows in several of the large stores. Of the crowds on the streets at the time many had narrow escapes from death and injury.

Dill, the famous corporation attorney of New York, that the present charter obtained by the General Federation un- der the laws of New Jersey thirteen years ago was obtained under the act providing for charity and philanthropy instead of clubs and societles; so the General Fed- eration is, by mistake, acting under a charter which privileges them only to look after indigent widows, establish mis- sion Sunday schools and bury their dead. SABBATH DAY MEETINGS. There were enough delegates sufficiently possessed of the Sunday spirit to attend a few meetings arranged for them in the afternoon and evening. Mrs. May Alden Ward_of Boston spoke in ome church; Mrs, Robert Burdette presided over an other meeting, with Mrs. Florence Kelly and Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden of New York 'as speakers, while both Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, and Mrs. Kelly filled afternoon engagements, the latter appearing _at one of a_social nature, which had as its end the forma tion of a consumers’ league. Boclal affairs predominated during th day, however. e most important was the garden party given at the Mitchell country place in honor of the visiting press women, but which was also attena- ed by officers and other distinguished clubwomen. There were music and re- freshments. Mrs. Burdette, who would have improved the day of intermission to open ‘‘Sunny Crest,” her beautiful Pasa- dena home, had it not been Sunday, will keep open house on Friday to visitors, this being the day following the conven- tion and the time set aside as ‘‘Pasadena aay,” when the residents of the city only ten miles away will treat the delegates to a drive and a luncheon. There is beginning to be a bit of talk about the city that will capture the next biennial, and so far Minneapolis seems to be in the lead. B e i T e e 20 2 S e s el POTAGH FIELLS LURE CARITAL ~—— BERLIN, May 4—John D. Rockefeller, it 1s understood, is behind the Virginia- North Carolina Chemical Company’s de- signs on the German potash flelds. While S. T. Morgan, C. D. Crenshaw and E. C. | Sputsbury are the only Americans taking part in the conferences which are being held ‘daily at the Hotel Bristol with the members of the German potash syndicate, Peter B. Bradley and S. F. Gibbons, rep resenting Rockefeller, are at the same hotel waiting for the outcome of the nego- tiations and prepared to finance the proj- ect. Bradley, in behalf of himself and Gib- bons, firmly denies that they are here for any such purpose, but the potash syndi cate people of Stassfurt have been in- formed that they are. The ownership of the syndicate proper- tles is widely distributed and buying con- trol of the properties is likely to require months and capital exceeding $50,000,000. The only thing which may cause the Americans’ withdrawal fronf the attempt is that some of the properties operated by the syndicate belong to the Prussian treasury, which is also the owner of large unworked properties. The Americans must secure a lease of these for long terms if they wish to-dominate the in- dustry. | / Captain Wynne Sends Explanation.. WASHINGTON, May 4—First Post- master General Wynne to-night received the first word that has come to this coun- try direct from any of the officers of the United States ship Chicago, arrested in Venice. It was from his son Frank, who is captain of marines on the Chicago, and was in response to cablegrams sent when the first news of the affair reached this country and evidently was dispatched at the first oportunity Captain Wynne had for communication with his home folks. The cablegram stated that the sender had defended a brother officer from an attack by a mob and that there was no occasion for worry. 5 1’8 SLOW SENNTORS EAGTE ALARM President Roosevelt De- mands That Bills Bs Acted On.
