Martin V. Merle Returns From New York With Honors Achieved in the American Academy of Arts---Well Known i n This City as a Student o+ ARTIN VASSEROT MERLE, the talented son of L. V. Merle, a well known merchant of this city, arrived home last Thurs- day and was given a warm wel- come by his parents and friends. Young Merle has been absent from this city for st two years. He has just completed a very successful course at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He carried off che highest honors and Charles Froh- man, the famous theatrical manager, paid a tribute to young Merle's ability by engaging him.to play in the Maude Adams Company. Mr. Merle is a graduate of St. Ignatius College. He finished his education in the Palytechnic High School. Having always shown a talent for theatricals his parents assisted him to fulfill his ambition to be- come an actor by sending him to New York. He took a course in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and was later admitted as a_member of the American Academy Stock Company. He will remain in this city for the next three months, after which he will go to New York to enter upon his engagement. © loivieiribdeideleelgeldedelded NO MORE POLIGE PENGION DEFICIT Higher Allowance From Licenses Favored by Supervisors, The Supervisors' Finance Committee recommended last night that provision be made to prevent further deficits in the police pension fund by contributing threto 50 per cent of all pawnbrokers’ licenses Ecc]lcclcd instead of 25 per cent, as here- | tefore, and 10 per cent of all liquor li- Recommended to the State Board of Educa- | censes instead of T per cent.

The request was taken under advise- ment. Mr. Lloyd also stated that the United Railroads_had agreed to contribute $150 for each Sunday concert, so this amuse- ment will be continued. The food, dairy and market inspectors employed in the Health Department leaded for an increase in salary from 5 to $100 per month. The janitors peti- tioned that their wages be raised from $2 50 per day to $75_per month; the guards in County Jail No. 2 asked that their salaries be fixed at §75 per month Instead of $30, and the ambulance drivers asked to be raised from $65 to $75 per month. said. | The plumbing inspectors requested that the auspices of the civic section of the | l their salaries be raised from $100 to $125 per month. All the petitions were taken under advisement, with the exception of that of the ambulance drivers. It de- veloped that, though the last budget pro- vided for the payment of $75 monthly to these drivers, the Health Board had, on its account, paid them only $65. 'The ‘committee recommended a resolution di- recting the Health Board to pay to the men the difference, which it holds they have been unjustly deprived of. Edgar Painter, secretary of the North Central Ciub, urged an appropriation of $100,000 to repave accepted streets in the business district. The committee ex- pressed itself in favor of the improve- ment, but postponed action thereon. S T ALL-NIGET CAR SERVICE MAY SOON BE ESTABLISHED United Railroad Directors Have Not Yet Taken Action in Appoint- ing Vining’s Successor. It is expected that inside of the pext few weeks the United Railroads of San Francisco will institute an all-night car service. The 'directors of the road are now considering the mater. “There is nothing new about the pro- posed owl service,” said President Hol- land yesterday. ‘“‘The directors will come :l“ a decision, however, within a few ays.” The papers of Newark, N. J., recently published a story to the effect that George F. Chapman of that ecity, who has charge of the streetcar systems there, has resigned to accept the posi- tion formerly held by Manager E. P| Vin- ing. President Holland stated yesterday that the directors of the United Railroads had as yet taken no action in appoint- ing Manager Vining's successor. —————— Blanchard Recital. Mrs. M. E. Blanchard, the clever con- tralto, gave the first of two song recitals last night at the First Unitarian Church, under the auspices of the Channing Aux. iliary. A small but very enthusiastic au- dience greeted the charming singer in one of the most aitractive programmes of the season. Perhaps Mrs. Blanchard was at her best in the Brahms songs, the ‘‘Ruhe Sussliebchen’’ being glven with exquisite intention and _execution. Two Pergoles songs, “Ogni Pena Piu Spiettata” and *Stizzoso, mio Stizzoso,” were most pleas- ingly rendered, and the old English bal- lad, “The Three Ravens,’’ was another number that suited admirably both the voice and sympathies of the singer. God- ard’s “Reveillez-vous” elicited a hearty encore and was graciously repeated. The others of the group of French songs, two of Delibes’, were not gui(e 50 successful, Mrs. Blanchard closed her programme with a group of characteristic American compositions, including songs by Foote Chadwick and Johns. The student of sing- ing and-lover of good songs cannot .5 better than hear Mrs. Blanchard, who is in the front rank of local vocalists. She gives another excellent programme at the same place on Saturday afternoon next, that will include Strauss, Franz, Brahms, Schubert and McDowell among its contri’ utions. Get Your Suit To-Morrow.

COPYTS WY o0 ON STRKE Insufficient Appropria- tion for Salaries the Reason. Recorder Edmond Godchaux fears that the copyists intend to go on a strike be- cause the limited appropriation in this | year's budget has caused their salaries lo drop from $100 to $72 a month. Two copy- ists have already sent in their resigna- | tions—Paul Viauntin and Edward Healy. Godchaux says that others will follow their example unless the Board of Super- visors provides an increased fund so that their salaries will reach the limit of §100 allowed by the charter. Godchaux further calls atttention to the fact that the business of his office has grown enormously during his incumbency, yet the appropriation has remained the same. Only $1%0 monthly is allowed for copyists’ salaries, yet the receipts of the office average more than $3000 monthly, says Godchaux. “M{l office is more than self-sustaining, yet the Board of Supervisors grudges us a sufficient appropriation to pay copyists | a fair salary. 1 have been obliged to em- ploy twenty-six copyists to do_ the work which is daily increasing. Under the charter they are allowed § cents a folio and each of them copies 1200 or 1500 folios | monthly, for which they receive but $72, which réduces their compensation to 5 or | 6 cents a folio. I do not think this is just | and my copyists are seeking work els where because of the insufficient pay, Thelrs is really skilled labor because it consists of using the book type-writing i machines, and 1 am afraid that I cannot | get competent men to replace them.” CAMERA CLUB HOLDS PICTURE EXHIBITION Preparations Are Completed for Qut- ings at Monterey and the Yosemite Valley. At the close of the regular monthly meeting of the California Camera Club held last night Arthur G. Pillsbury of Los Angeles, who has traveled over the entire Lake Tahoe country, exhibited a number of the pictures which he took while on his journey. Slides from the Colorado and Minneapolis Camera clubs were also dis- played, and several musical selections were rendered by Miss L. Gilligan and ! Miss Cecelia Cellar. | The regular monthly exhibition of the club is to be held in Metropolitan Temple Friday evening, May 16. On that occa- sion Rev. Willlam A. Brewer of San Ma- teo will lecture on the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Preparations -have been completed for the two ouunfis which are to be given under the auspices of the club. On Satur- day afternoon, May 24, a party will visit Monterey. The night and the following day will be spent there, and the excure sionists will return to this city Sunday night. On June 7 many of the members of the camera club and their friends will leave for an outing at Yosemite Valley and the Big Trees. They will remain un- til June 22. During the fifteen days’ out- ing all the important scenes in the val- ley will be visited and the entire party will camp for ten days at Camp Yosem- ite.

BIG CONVENTION OF REPUBLICANG Sub-Comumittee Figuring Out Apportionment Pian. Chance for Herrin to Become Democratic Nominee for Governor. The Republican State Central Committee will meet in this city Saturday, May 24, to fix the time and place for holding the State Convention. Sacramento will doubt- less be chosen as the place, because the capital city possesses so many facilities The State Fair will not open until September 8, hence the Agricultural Pavilion can be used prior to September 5. Members of the sub-com- mittee, who were appointed to propese a call for the convention, will report to the | executive body Friday, May 23, but it is| understoed ‘that the date of holding the convention will be left blank. The point | at issue is whether the delegates should | be called to assembie on August 25 or Sep- tember 1. This question will be settled by the general committee on May 24. Two plans on apportionment will also be submitted to the State Committee. One allows a delegate for every 250 Republi- | can votes cast at the general election in 1900. The other permits a delegate for ev- ery 200 Republican votes cast at the same | election. Should the first be adopted as| the basis of representation, the gonven- | tion ‘will consist of 694 members. Should | the latter be accented there will be 865 | delegates. The basis of 20 votes gives | San Francisco 141 and Los Angeles 76 delegates. The basis of 200 gives San Francisco 178 and Los Angeles 9. WORK OF APPORTIONMENT. The sub-committee having the work of apportionment _in _hand is composed of George Stone, W. M. Cutter, W. 5. Wood, A. B. Lemmon, E. C. Hart and Jacob Steppacher. Careful calculation has been found necessary, especially in Assembly] districts where certain precincts are within the limits of a city to which the primary election law directly applies and other precincts beyond such limits. In these cases the principle of precinct regis- tration is recognized. Leading members of the State Central Committee are op- | posed to the machine system of appoint- ing delegates, and it is believed that the recommendation for primaries will be| adopted. County conventions composed of | delegates chosen at primary election may | be empowered to elect delegates, but tha right of County Committees to appoint Wwill doubtless be challenged. County con- ventions springing directly from the pen- | ple through the agency of the primary may meet shortly after August 12, elect delegates to the State convention and then adjourn to meet in September for the purpose of nominating county offi- cers. In most of the counties, however, the practice of electing delegates to the county convention at the same time State | delegates are elected will be followed. A | large convention, coming directly from | the people, seems to be the demand of | the Republican party. The bosses have | apparently abandoned the programme of | packing the State convention with dele- | gates appointed by push County Com- mittees. HARRIMAN’S OPPORTUNITY. President E. H. Harriman is recognized throughout the country as a business man who possesses remarkable powers of pen- etration. 1t would be interesting to know if he has discerned during his sojourn in California any reason wny the rallroad which he directs should have a favored eandidate for Governor of the State. Un- questionably Mr. Harriman has the right as a free and intelligent American citi- zen {o size up all our candidates—to judge of their moral worth and physical attri- butes—but his individual = preference | should not cunsfltu}e corporative indorse- ment. The State has a large quota of | shrewd lawyers and olitical rounders | who have derived much sustenance from the Southern Pacific payroll. They con- vinced some of President Harriman’s pre- decessors that the public was hostile’ to the Southern Pacific, and that their serv- ices were needed at the Legislature and State conventions, and in politics gener- ally, to protect the property of the com- pany. To create a demand for their serv- | ices they have had ‘“cinch” bills intro- | duced in the Legislature and have suc- ceded in getting money from the com- pany’s treasury to defeat such bills. At- tempts may be made to play the old game on President Harriman, If the president will study the situation care- fully he will ascertain that the people are not opposed to his company. either po- litical party is threatening to tear up his rails. The chief danger that now confronts the Southern Pacific is that W. F. Herrin of the law department will use the com- pany’s money and prestige to control State nominating conventions. As Herrin is so fond of politics, why should it not be suggested that he resign his position as political manager of the company and enter the field in person as a candidate for Governor? The Democrats who are looking around for a suitable candidate might be willing to accept him as their standard-bearer. DR.

Fully two hundred guests assembled last Saturday to join in the festivities of the eleventh class day at Hoitt’s School. The exercises consisted in the afternoon of section work in the gymnasium, which was well done, followed by a bountiful and appetizing lunch served amid beau- tiful floral decorations. Then came a most_interesting and amusing feature of the day—a baseball game between the school team and the alumni, which was full of fun and jollity. The schoolboys won by a score of 16 to 9. The senior dance in the evening, in which over one hundred young people jolned, was the most successful in the history of the school. The following-named gentlemen compose the senior class: James W. Han- son Jr., Benjamin R. Baunders, Fred S. Howell and Kesner Wylle. A large num- ber of the old graduates was present and a committee was appointed from _their number to draft a constitution and ~by- laws for the formation of an alumni as- sociation. ———— Vandeveare Is Found Guilty.

SR John Brady, the old man who was brutally kicked on the head by Arthur Terry in.a cell at the City Hall Branch Prison on Monday afternoon, died at the Emergency Hospital about 7 o'clock yesterday morning, and the body was removed - to the Morgue. The autopsy showed that there were thirteen gashes in the old man’s scalp, varying from a quarter of an inch to five inches in length, and that death was eaused by concussion of the brain. Terry was booked on a charge of murder and was instructed and arraigned before Judge Cabaniss and the case continued till to-morrow. Brady was arrested on Fourth street by Policeman J. A. Ryan for being drunk about 2 o’clock Monday afternoon. Terry was arrested on Market sireet by Police- man P. J. Mitchell for disturbing the peace about an hour later. He was vio- lent when taken to prison and fought with the officer while being searched. Booking Officer H. G. White succeeded in pacifying him and he walked willingly to the cell, where the old man had been pre- | viously placed. He stretched himself on | the wooden bench in the cell and Police- man J. Phelan, who was on duty at the prison, thought he was going to sleep. About ten minutes later Phelan remark- ed to White that he thought he heard a noise as if some one had fallen in the cell. | Phelan walked to the cell and saw Brady | lying on the floor with his head covered with blood. Phelan called to White and | White sent Brady to the Emergency Hos- | pital in the patrol wagon.

SAYS WIFE NEGLECTED HIM AFTER MARRIAGE Leander Cox Complains of Alleged Cruel Treatment by His Bride - of a Few Months. Leander Cox, who was married last February to Sarah Belle Cox, filed a suit for divorce yesterday, alleging that his wife has treated him cruelly. that she promised to treat him with care and affection, knowing that he was a suf- ferer from heart disease and partial par- alysis, but that instead she tormented him by drinking to excess. Alice Forrest is suing Edward Forrest for divorce on the ground of failure to provide. They were married eight years ago. A suit for divorce was filed by T. M. Alexander against R. G.
