Immediately after the Stockton demon- stration in honor of Mayor Schmitz the machine manipulators in San Francisco | gave orders that factional leaders in the | boss camp should sink their quarrels and effect a concentration of the push ele- | ments in every district of the city. It is| claimed by the bosses that Burns, Her-| rin, -Crimmins and Kelly will be doing | politics together before August 12, but there is a deal of kicking in the Repub-| lican County Committee over the appre-| on that the “organization” will be | compelied 1o play second fiddle to the Re- | publican Mutual Alliance and take orders district from Martin Kelly.

A gentleman from McBain, Mich., says: “Cofice drinking has cost me much, for during my life I have been many times so thoroughly put out of condition that I have been compelled to abandon business | for a day or two at a time. The attacks of headache would commence on the right side behind the ear and become so severe as to totally incapacitate me for any exer- cise, even mental. I have frequently had ‘to take morphine to relieve the suffer- ing. Sour stomach troubled me and I had a nervous heart that gave me & great deal of trouble. “Four ago I saw an advertise- ment for Postum Food Coffee which re- cited the ill effects of coffee on the nerves. 1 at once decided to make the change and leave off coffee and take on Postum. The result has been all that one could expect. “l am never constipated any more, the bilious attacks never come on except from some indiscretion such as drinking coffee, which I am foolish enough to indulge in now and then. I have no more headaches. no more sour stomach and mo bilious spells. I have not been sick 0 my stomach or had a nervous vomiting spell | in three years. Am now 56 years oid, and have better health and do a better busi- ness and more comfortable than ever bes fore in my life. I certainly attribute the change to leaving Off coffee and usirg Postum for I have taken no medicine to &id in making the change. “The experiment as stated is absolutely true.

The answer, | which is quite voluminous, contains a complete denial of the charges made by the husband. The cross-complaint at- tributes to her husband many acts not| conducive to matrimonial harmony. Mrs. Ohlsen among other things denies | that she stole $200 from her husband’s | trousers while he was sleeping. On the | other hand, she alleges that he presented | her with the money.

The Grand Jury went into session yes- | terday afternoon to consider the charges rupt practices on the police force. Subpenas had been issued for Commis- sioners Newhall and Howell, Chiet Witt- man, Captains Dunleavy, Spillane and | onnor, Burnett, Shaw, Conboy and Donovan, and at 2| o'clock all were present. | Commissioner Newhall was called first | and was with the Grand Jury for only a | few minutes. He was followed by Com- missioner Howell, and he in his turn by { Chief Wittman. The main question asked | each of these was whether they knew of any corrupt practices in partment, and in each ca was in the negative. | Mr. Newhall said that if bribes had been | accepted by any member of the Police | Department, he would help the Grand Jury all he could to punish the offenders, | but that so far no such reports had reached his ears. Chief Wittman stated that the Grand Jury had spoken with him on general matters. He was asked if he knew of any corrupti on the police force. The Chief replied, “‘Certainly not, nothing of the king; if there had been'I would have re- | ported it.” Chief Wittman asked, “Why | don’t they bring up these people who have made these charges? We are here. At the close of Chief Wittman's exam- ination all the captains and sergeants were excused, with the exception of Ser- | geants Corboy and Shaw. Conboy has been for months in charge of the China town squad and Shaw recently succeeded | the Police, De- se the ankwer | Both sergeants were asked very much the same questions as their predecessors, namely, whether they knew of any cor- ruption’ on the police force, and both in their turn replied that they neither knew nor had ever heard of any such practice: The Grand Jury received a letter yes- terday from the Examiner in which it stated that the paper was not yet ready to_proceed with the charges. The inquisitorial body adjourned shortly after 4 o'clock and will meet for further consideration of the charges on Tuesday, | July 1 —_—————— SUES DAVIS-STREET FIRM FOR A BREACH OF LEASE Suit was commenced the Superior Court yesterday against Wheaton, Pond & Harrold by J. A. Folger to recover $1320 damages for alleged breach of cove- nants of lease. The defendants are the lessees of Ellen Folger and rented the property on the east_side of Davis street, between Cali- fornia and Sacramento streets, for a pe- riod of ten years, from March 28, 1896, at a monthly rental of $460. This lease was subsequently assigned by C. E.. Whitney & Co. to Wheaton, Pond & Harrold, who undertook and agreed to perform all of its obligations. It was stipulated in the lease that ‘Wheaton, Pond & Harrold were to make all necessary repairs to the premises dur- ing the period of the lease. In January last certain repairs were necessary and ‘Wheaton, Pond & Harrold, it is aileged, would neither perform their obligation by having them done nor pay for them. Mrs, | Folger alleges Folger had the work done and settled the bill as well. She claims that the defendants, Wheaton, Pond & Harrold, repudiated their ol;l;fatlon and declined to ablde by their tten con- tract. The amount of the claim has been assigned to J. A. Folger, who has com- menced the action. Folger is represented by Stratton & Kayfman. : Saracco’s Case on Trial. The trial of Jerome Saracco on a charge of criminal assault upon his stepdaugh- ter, Madge Graham, who was a friend of the murdered girl, Nora Fuller, was ccmmenced before a jury in Judge Law- Jor's court yesterday, ,The evidence for the prosecution and defense was heard. The arguments of counsel will be pro- cecded with this morning and the case given to the jury. The alleged offense was committed April 7. ————— Boy Run Over by a Wagon.

' ART1Y OFFICER’S BAGGAGE HIDES SACRED TABLETS Customs Inspectors Find Priceless Jades From ths Holy City of Peking Stowed Securely Amid the Belongings of L / HEN the . customs- inspectors searched the baggage brought home on the Hancock by the Ninth Infantry, they found evidences of that regiment's visit to China. When the baggage of Com- pany M was gone through it was seen that the famous Ninth had been ‘‘Johnny on the spot” in the sacred city, and had brought away as souvenirs famous relics for which the Chinese Government has been searching ever since peace was re- stored. To First Lieutenant J. P: Schoef- fel of Company M belongs the credit of bringing to America the finest collection of jade that ever left China. This was discovered by Custom-house men yester- day. ‘When the customs inspectors found it they said “loot.”” When Schoeffel saw it he said: “Yes, it's mine. How'd ye find it Cost me $i0. Loot? Not on your life. Got it from a Chino, who told me that if he was known as a party to the sale, off would go his head. Had to save the fel- low’s head, so kept quiet about. it.” TABLETS AND SEALS. Schoeffel's contraband consists of ten jade tablets covered with inscriptions said to be full of meaning to the patriotic Chinese and forming part, it is also said, of the records of the Emperor's ances- tors, and five seals. Each seal weighs about five pounds and s surmounted by an elaborately carved animal form that may represent dragon life in the Orient. The fact that Schoeffel had this collec- tion of jades in his possession was known to a number of men ir the regiment and somebody whispered to the custom-houss inspectors. Schoeffel's baggage was care- fully searched, but nothing was tound. It was searched again and yielded nothing but a few cigars. Inspector Victor J. Lindquist, who had heard the whisper, made a third search and found the jades. They were stowed away with the prop- erty of Compny M. They were at the very bottom df a deep, narrow box, care- fully wrapped in the folds of an army tent. Lieutenant Schoeffel at once ac- knowledged the ownership and, to save the inspectors further trouble, he said. showed them where he had packed the remainder of the jades. L e e B Y RAILWAY EMPLOYES FAVOR REFUSAL OF FRANCHISES C. W. Reed Addresses Amalgamated Association on Municipal Owner- ship and Public Utilities. Ex-Supervisor Charles Wesley Reed addressed Division No. 205 of the Amal- gamated Association of Street Railroad Employes of America at their meeting last night at the Turk-street Temple. Mr. Reed was introduced by Richard Cornelius and spoke on ““Municipal Owner- ship and Public Utilities,”” particularly touching on the Geary-street road. Mr. Reed said it was of vital moment that the municipal road should extend to the ferries and to the ocean and that a cross-town line, running from the Pre- sidio, on Chestnut street to Pierce and thence to Vallejo to Franklin, across Market to Eleventh and thence to the Potrero, should be included, and it was therefore necessary to bring pres- sure-on the Supervisors to include the ex- tension of the proposed Geary-street road. In case they refused to do tuis there still remained a right of petition under the charter, which would compel the Super- visors to submit the requirements of the proposed road to the people for decision, Another important poin. that Mr. Reed made manifest was, tuat the present street railroad corporations have applied for franchises for street railways on near- ly all the unoccupied streets in the north- ern part of the city. 3 Mr. Reed then offered this resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the application of the United Rallways Company, the California.Street Rail- way Company and the Presidio and Ferries Railway Company for franchises for 'street rallways, now on file before the Supervisors, should ail be refused; and be it further Resolved, That a committee of three, to be appointed by the chair, is hereby directed, to walt upon the Board of Supervisors of the city and county and convey this resolution to them. The resolution will be presented to the Board of Supervisors to-morrow. i s 6 iy Brakeman Loses His Life. LOS ANGELES, June 24.—Charles Mor- rison, a brakeman in the employ of the Southern Pacific, whose home is in East Los Angeles, fell from his train and was killed under the wheels last night near Beaumont.

Schoeffel of the Famous Ninth Infantry e — B SN ARMY OFFICER IN WHOSE BAGGAGE WERE FOUND PRICELESS JADES. ¥ Schoeffel had quite a pile of baggagn and the inspectors went through every package of it. The lieutenant, with five enlisted men | to help him, rendered the inspectors every assistance, and long before the heavy task was completed had so won the Government searchers that they al- most regretted having found the jades. A. Hesse of the Hospital Corps had | two jade tablets in his possession. He had bought them, he said, from a Rus- sian soldier. These tablets, with the Schoeffel collec- tion, were taken in_charge by Deputy Surveyor Chauncey M. St. John and they will be held pending instructions from Washington. It is supposed that the seals and tablets form part of the Imperial | records, and if guch prove to be the case back they will go to China. The customs inspectors are also look- | ing for a gold Bible said to have been | taken from the sacred city, and supposed to be on its way to America. The exist- ence of such a treasure is deubted by many, but when Schoeffel's baggage proved so rich in relics, and the fact was reported to St. John, he gave orders to search Schoeffel’s baggage till the gold Bible showed up. Schoeffel is popular among his ,brother | officers. He was in many engagements and on three different occaslons bullets passed through his clothing. His brother, Captain Schoeffel, also of the Ninth, was wounded in Samar and passed through here some time ago on sick leave.

(o} CAISIS IS NEAR | CO-OPERATION IN VENEZUELA' AND ITS BENEFITS The Revolutionary Move- ment Against Castro ~ More Ominous. Navy Department Fully Pre- pared to Protect Interests. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTON, June 24.—The belief that a crisis approaches in Venezuela was given fresh impetus to-day by the receipt of a cablegram from United States Min- ister Bowen. The text of the dispatch was not made public, but the message is said to show that a climax has come in the revolutionary movement against President Castro. Preparations to meet any emergency have been made by the Navy Depart- ment. The warships Cincinnati and To- peka are now at La Guaira, while the unboat Cincinnati is on the way to San uan, Porto Rica. The department’s in- tention is to have the Marietta proceed thence to Colon and relieve the Machias, but she will lie at San Juan until it is apparent her services will not be needed to_reinforce the Cincinnati and the To- peka in protecting American lives and property in Venezuela. No report has yet come from the com- manders of the two warships at La Guaira, The officers are to use their own discretion in their course of action in Venezuelan waters, and it is thought the iack of a report means only the absence of any important change in the situation as far as they can view it.

PETALUMA, June 24.—Homer Fritsch, son of George Fritsch, the San Francisco ccal merchant and himself a member of the coal firm, is one of the passengers on the steamer Portland, which is drifting with an icepack toward the Arctic. Fritsch’s wife, who was a Petaluma lady before her marriage, a daughter of Judge Lippitt, is now here with her parents. She is greatly worried over her hus- band's danger. When Fritsch left San Francisco he said he might lcave the steamer at Unalaska, but the absence of all word makes Mrs. Fritsch positive that he is still aboard the Portland. Fritsch is himself a steamship owner, having an interest in the Homer and sev- eral other vessels. He also has extensive mining interests in the north.

Delegates From Many Parts of the State Are in Attendance, OAKLAND, June 24.—The thjrd annual convention of the Pacific Coast Co-opera- tive Union was opened this morning at Hamilton Hall, Thirteenth and Clay streets, President D. T. Fowler of the University of California in the chair. Delegates from various uctflfiu of the State were in attendance. W. R. Johnson was elected secretary. President Fowler appointed the following committees: Credentials—C. Y. Roop, W. J. Thompson, H. H. Miner; resolutions—W. J. Thomp- son, C. S. Harvey, Judge B. G. Hurlburt. During his opening address on the rec- ords of growth of co-operation in Califor- nia, President Fowler said there were now in operation, as one result. of the movement, more than fifty Rochdale co- operative stores, all strong and flourish- ing. Efforts to organize the fruit growers and grain growers on a co-operative basis were flourishing. A ‘monthly journal had been started with a large circulation. During the afternoon, George W. Pilerce, president of the Grain Growers’ a- tion, A. H. Naftager, president of the Southern California it Exchange; Judge B. G. Hurlburt of the Cured Fruit Association, and Vice President Sprague of the Fresh Fruit Assoclation, gave ad- dresses on the ‘methods of these organ- izations. A letter was read from J. N. ‘Woods, president of the Raisin Assoclation, along similar lines. A. Hallner, vice president of the Roch- dale Wholesale Company, presented the plan of that organization, sayin that the establishment of units of effort In localities with central organization was productive of successful results. It was argued that the Southern California Fruit Exchange, organized along those lires, had met a greater measure of suc- céss than had the grain growers or the cured fruit association, which had enly a central bedy, with no local units or cxchanges. At the evening session ‘‘Co-operation in the Animal World” was the subject of an address by the Rev. Benjamin Fay He drew from insect, bird and mammal life to show that the co-opera- tive spirit is instinctive iIn the lower forms, and cited the habits of ants, bees, Leavers and cattle. “Ethics of Co-operation” was the sub- je¢t of the Rev. Ernest E. Baker's dis- course, The clergyman declared his purpose was to put himself on record as being in belief and full sympathy with Growers’ the principles of co-operation. He said, further: Wherever you find a man living upon another man, he is a barl n.

Poston Is Found Dead in an Alley Near His Home in Phoenix. PHOENIX, Ariz., June 2.—Colonel Charles D. Poston died suddenly to-day. He was found dead by a policeman in an alley near his rooms, where he probably had been stricken with heart trouble, brought on by the excessive heat, which taxed the strength of his advanced ycars. Poston was -born in Hardin County, Kentucky, in 1825, and was known as “the father of Arizona,”: having come here first in 1854. He went East in 1855, and in 1856 returned with -capital for working gilver mines. At the outbreak of the Civil ‘War military protection was withdrawn and the mines abandoned. In 1863 Presi- dent Lincoln nx&olnted him Superintend- ent of Indian airs in Arizona, and on the organization of the territorial gov- ernment he was its first Delegate to (gon- gress. Colonel Poston had traveled all over the world, and was connected with the London and New York press at various times. He visited China on the commis- sion of Secretary Seward in the interest of irrigation and immigration, and was the bearer of dispatches from the Chinese Embassy to the Emperor of China. He was at different times Register of the Land Office in Tucson, Colleetor of Cus- toms in _Nogales and military agent in El Paso. He had lived in Phoenix for the last twelve years. The wife of Major Pope, who died on the Pacific Ocean while accompanying the remains of her husband home from Manila, was his daughter. o P sl CAPTAIN PINAL DIES AT A WOMAN’'S HANDS TUCSON, Ariz., June 24.—Captain Au- relio Pinal, chief of the national troops stationed at Hermosillo during the Yaqui rising, was shot and killed on Sunday morning at 2 o'clock in the Tula Caro saloon in Hermésillo by Dorothy Mexia, better known as “Tello,” the most no- torious woman in Sonora.

Screams at Top of Her Voice When Officers Force Them Apart. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 4. Screaming at the top of her voice and clinging frantically to her two young children, Mrs. Edith Dixon was the cen- ter of a pitying group of spectators this morning in Judge Melvin's court. The children, one 7 years old and the other 14 months, did not want to leave their mother, and their pleas for “mamma’ rent every heart. Mrs. Dixon, who has been living amid squaior and starvation in one bare room on lower Seventh street, was brought be- fore Judge Melvin on a writ of habeas corpus. She is weak mentally, and Mrs. Eliza Swift of the Soeclety for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children found it necessary to get the custody of the chii- dren a while ago. ‘When Judge Melvin 'ordered the chil- dren into rs. Swift's custody and the officers went to take them away the mether clasped them tightly to her bos- em and screamed. The officers took the children from her by force and held her 1 a chair until they were taken to a buggy that conveyed them to a Fruitvale family that has agreed to give them & hcme. Afterward the mother wandered away a sad plight. Her unbalanced condition, it is thought, will be further aggravated Lty the loss of the children and bring about her condemnation to an asylum. SWIMS, THOUGH DISABLED, TILL BOAT REACHES HIM Fred Brown, an Oakland Student, Drops Off Ferry-Boat and Keeps Afloat Until Rescued. OAKLAND, June 24.—After being hit by the paddle wheel of a ferry-boat and hav- ing his leg almost broken, Fred Brown, the second son of Albert Brown, the undertaker, made half an hour’s fight for life in the waters of San Francisco Bay this morning and was rescued just as he was sinking. The boy, who is but_ 18 years of age, lost his balance in an effort to catch his hat, which had been blown from his hedd, and fell into the water from the forward lower deck of the ferry steamrer Bay City. Mr. and Mrs. Brown and their two sons, Albert J. and Fred, went ta Sam Franeisco this morning on the 9:15 trip’ on the narrow gauge route. Fred and his_father remained on the lower deck and went_forward with a friend by the name of Pomroy, while Mrs. Brown and the elder son went upstairs into the ladies’ cabin. Fred seated himself on the chaim box near the railing, while Mr. Brown and Mr. Pomroy leaned on the box, chat- ting. Suddenly a gust of wind caught the boy's hat and in clutching for it he went overboard. The alarm was given at once and Cap- tain Leale stopped the boat and ordered a small boat lowered. Young Brown was swept astern®dy a swift tide. Some on the boat thought that he had been carried into the wheel and had met instant death, but a mo- ment later he was seen manfully swim- ming. Thé boat from the ferry steamer pleked him up. It was found that he had made his long, hard swim with his leg all but broken where he had been struck by one of the blades of the paddle. He was taken to the Harbor Emergency Hospital in San Francisco and treated and this evening was brought to his home in this city. “The boy lost his hat and in trying to save it fell overboard,” said Mr. Brown. “If he had not been a strong swimmer he could not have been saved, but the wonder is that he could swim after the injury Le received from the wheel.” e Licensed to Marry.
