SAN JOSE, May 21.—From all parts of Santa Clara County come news of re- joicing and words of encouragement for the victors in Monday's election. The or- chardists are happy over the defeat cf Mackenzieism and Gagelsm. There - are 3000 members of the Republican Good Gov- ernment League in Santa Clara County, and more than one-half of that number reside outside the city. While they could not vote in the city election, they gave every aid to the Worswick ticket, and many of them were in town campaigning. Gage has always been unpopular with this class. Four years ago they.stood by him as a matter of party principle and helped to roll up a big majority. For this they expected some recognition, but in- stead Gage has handled Santa Clara County affairs through Mackenzie. Every man the league indorsed for appointment was turned down. This caused hundreds of voters of San- ta Clara County to sharpen their knives for Gage, and now that Mackenzie has been defeated in his own bailiwick Santa Ciara County is certain to go against the Republican ticket should Gage by any chance become the nominee. The defection from the California Club, Mackenzie's stronghold, since the harbor master’s defeat is like the exodus of rats from a sinking ship. There is a con- stant stream of callers at the reformers’ headquarters to assure the victors that they are “all right.”” Many of these have been supporters of Mackenzie for years. James W. Rea, who gave his ald to de- feat Mackenzie, his former lleutenant, says he has no ambition to again become a “boss.” WASHINGTON, May 21.—The State Depart- ment has received a cablegram from Consul Pierson at Genoa, Italy, stating that Margaret Taylor has been’ delivered to her father and that the two salled to-day for home. g —_— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

NEW DFFICERS FOR PYTHIANS Next Grand Lodge Con- vention to Be Held in Santa Cruz. The morning session of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias yesterday was taken up in a discussion on the locality for the next Grand Lodge session. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Carters and San- ta Cruz were named, and the representa- tives of each spoke in favor of his par- ticular locality. Los Angeles was with- drawn, and it became apparent that Car- ters had no show, so by the time the bal- lot was called it had narrowed down to the other two cities, and Santa Cruz was chosen. ast Grand Chancellor Patton urged the esentatives from the several counties to Induce each of the counties to agree to have all exhibits at one place and to agree that the same be under charge of He stated that he had no doubt that Union Square could be secured for such a pur- pose. Tt was also suggested that each county allow the sum of $100 to pay the manager and his assistants. At the afternoon session the following named were elected grand officers for the ensuing term: D. K. Trask of Los Angeles, grand chan- cellor; B, V. Sargent of Salinas, vice chancel- lor; R. F. Burns of Auburn, prelate; Herman Schaffner, keeper of records and seal; S. G. Little of Dixon, master of exchequei Pardee of Fureka, master at arms; mason of Perris, inside guard; J. H. Johnson of Sacramento, ‘outside guard; J. R. Sloan, A. L, Selig and C. O. Clark, trustees. In the evening there was a ceremonial session of the Dramatic Order of Khor- assan by Zerin Kappa No. 52, in Pythian Castle. This is to the Knights what the Shriners are to the Masons. A number of strangers were instructed in the myste- rieg, after which there was a banquet. To-day there will be an address by Rep- resentative Church on behalf of the Su- preme Lodge in relation to the Supreme Convention, after which the file will be cleared and the new officers will be in- stalled. i Arrangements have been ‘made for a large }fntherlng of Pythlans at Native Sons’ Hall to-morrow night, when a team composed of the best talént in Unity Lodge No. 61 of San Francisco and Dirigo Todge No, 224 of Oakland will confer the rank of Knight in “long form’ on a number of candidates.

Plaintiff Alleges He Was Defrauded in Sale of Certzin Stock. Henry J. Crocker brought suit against his cousin, Willlam H. Crocker, president of the Crocker-Woolworth Bank, yester- day afternoon to recover $89.475 damages. The plaintiff alleges that he was defraud- ed of the sum sued for in August of 1900 in the disposal of his shares in the Pa- cific Coast Jockey Club and the Western Turt Association. The complaint recites the fact that the Western Turf Assoctation and the Pacific Coast Jockey Club were at the time of the transaction in question corporations exist- ing under the laws of the State, and then alleges that on June 1, 1900, Henry J Crocker, owner of 750 shares in the Pacific Coast Jockey Club and of 665 shares in the Western Turf Association, the shares in the first ramed corporation being val- ued at 3100 a share, while in the second the shares were worth $27,432 25. 1 Henry J. Crocker avers that at this time there was a close and intimate busi- ness relation existing between himself and his cousin, who also owned property in the two racing corporations. According to the plaintiff’s claim, the transaction is the basis of the present suit, and was brought about in the following r: Willlam H. Crocker, it_is al- leged, entered into an agreement July 23, 1900, with his brother-in-law, Andre Poni: atowski, to obtain possession of the capi- tal stock of both the Pacific Coast Jockey Club and the Western Turf Association. To accomplish this, Willlam H. Crocker wrote to the plaintiff, stating that he had placed his shares of stock in the two cor= porations in thé hands of G. W. Kline and Wellington Gregg, both of whom, the plaintiff _avers, are employes of the Crocker-Woolworth Bank, to be disposed of by them. In this letter Henry J. Crocker claims he was urged to also put his shares in the care of these two men so that the sale of his and his counsin’s interests might be consummated at the same -time. KNEW OF NO AGREEMENT. The plaintiff further alleges that he was entirely ignorant of the fact that any agreement had been entered into between William H. Crocker and Andre Ponia- towski, and that therefore after he had read the defendant’s letter he conferred the power of attorney on Kline and with full authority to dispose of his shares. Plaintiff also alleges that August 8, 1900, Kline showed him a letter supposed to have been written by Poniatowski, in which Poniatowski offered $3125 a share for the plaintiff's Western Turf Associa- tion shares and $#4 a share for his Pa- cific Coast Jockey Club stock. In pay- ment for the stock Poniatowski offered 188 shares of the Sierra Railway Company and $6250 in cash. Plaintiff now claims that he instructed Kline to reject the offer and to submit a counter proposal to Poniatowski. Later in the day, the plaintiff alleges, he was informed by Kline that Poniatowski's offer had been accepted and that it was too late to can- cel the acceptance or to withdraw from the transaction. Kline even refused to surrender the power of attorney, which had been given him by the plaintiff and under which he had arranged the sale. The plaintiff says that he finally sub- mitted with reluctance to the transaction and turned over his shares in both the corporations to Kline and received in re- turn 108 second mortgage bonds of the Seirra Rallway Company and 3756625 in cash. Kline informed the plaintiff that the bonds and the money were payments for the shares in the racing corporations. HAVE NO MARKET VALUE. The plaintiff now charges that he has since learned that Poniatowski acted merely as the agent and servant of Wil- liam H. Crocker and that he held the stock and disposed of it solely for the benéfit and under the direction of the defendant, William H. Crocker. In conclusion the complaint states that Henry J. Crocker subsequently found that the second mortgage bonds of the Sierra Railway Company did not have a market value. It is claimed that the aggregate value of the railway bonds amounts to $5400. The plaintiff also avers that he of- fered to turn over the second mortgage bonds of the Sierra Valley Railroad and also the $7556 25 to Willlam H. Crocker on condition that his shares in the racing corporations be returned to him, but his proposal was refused. e plaintiff now elects to retain the second mortgage bonds of the Sierra Rail- way and the money given him in payment for his shares in the Western Turf Asso- ciation and the Pacific Coast Jockey Club and sues the defendant for damages amounting to $89,475, which, he alleges, he sustained by reason of the transaction, with interest on that sum and cost of suit.

Charles Wanner, a member of the Knights of Pythias, who arrived from Cleveland, Ohio, three days ago, is the latest victim of a bunko steerer. Wanner wears a Knight's button in the lapel of his coat, and as he was walking along Market street Tuesday night a well- dressed man accosted him, and, pointing to the button, said, “I see you are a Knight.” The stranger held out his hand and gave Wanner the “grip.” ‘Wanner was delighted to meet a mem- ber of the order, as he supposed, and n conversation told his new acquaintance that he would like to secure employment here. The bunko man told him he had in- fluential friends, and it was arranged that he should call upon Wanner at his hotel vesterday morning and take him around. He called according to agreement and took Wanner to a room in the Ploneer House -at 48 Fourth street, where he was introduced to a game of poker. Wanner got a good “hand” and hs new-found friend told him he would surely win. The jend” promised to look after the ‘hand” till Wanner hurried to the hotel and got $125_with which he returned to the game. Onme of tne other two players held a better hand and Wanner lost his money. ‘Wanner informed Policeman T. C. Mur- phy of the occurrence and he arrested a man who gave the name of J. R. Curby. The prisoner was one of the players, but the other player and the steerer had dis- appeared with the money. Curby was booked at the City Prison on a charge of grand larceny. e Unity Club Lectures.

The Board of Health yesterday decided to submit te the Board of Supervisors an ordinance providing that physicians must report every case of chicken-pox coming under their notice within twenty-four hours. The penalty for a violation of the ordinanee is fixed at $500, or imprisonment for six months. The board granted permission to the medical department of the State Univer- sity to bulld an extension to the north end of the City and County Hospital to be used as a laboratory. A resolution was adopted requesting the Board of Supervisors to provide an automobile ambulance.

How to buy furniture and carpets without ready money We will loan you the money for a regular banking rate of interest—six per cent. back little by little in unfelt amounts. Then you can g0 to one of the first-class furniture stores, with whom we have made special arrangements, where the stock is big and fresh and where satisfaction is certain, and when you have made your selection you can pay your bill in full with good, hard cash. Isn't this better than buying in the installment stores and being compelled to select your goods from smaller and inferior stocks? The installment stores charge you ten per cent above their cash prices when you ask for long credit. All you pay us is six per cent. For example: If your purchases amount to $ro0.00 we will charge you $106.00—which is a six per cent then you pay us $20.00 cash and the balance in monthly payments amounting to $8.60 each month. 1f your purchases amount to $75.00 we will charge you $79.50; you make us a cash payment on this of $r5.00 and pay the balance at the easy rate of $645 per advance; month. You save four per cent. You have the great privi- lege of buying in a first-class store, and yet you get all the advantages of the easy payment plan as offered by the installment houses! No amount of money is too small for us to loan. Worth looking into, don’t you think? Govld, Svllivan & Co., (REMOVED TO) Room 1403 “Call” Building, Corner Market and 'l’llii&l.» Tel. John 2336.
