HOW SOCIETY WOMAN FOSTERS MERITORIOUS PHILANTHROPY DMIRING attention is attracted to Mrs. Josephine Morris de Greayer, so faithfully has she worked since her brother's death to establish a reading room for the adult blind at the Free Public Library. Mrs, de Grea- yer is one of the few society women who find time for constant active philanthropic work. She is not satisfied with simply subscribing. This room, which Mrs. De Greayer has been working these three years to establish, could have been opened ere this with private sub- seriptions, but she had the futpre of the room at heart and wanted it to be in the library and under the control of the trus- tees for all time to come. Within ten days it will be decided whether the base- ment room of the branch library at Fourth and Clara streets, offered by ex- Mayor Phelan all be accepted.. Mrs. de Greayer's well-directed energy seems to be bearing fruit. Her co-work- ers are: Mrs. W. B. Harrington, Mrs. Mrs. John F. Merrill L. Dunbar, Mrs. George J. Bucl s. 1.

This no ion, but the ope living originai—the genuine article—in'the personage of Vivian Bur- nett, who has come to this city for a brief stay. If Mrs, Frances Hodgson Burnett were to write a sequel to that charming story, with her son as the hero, would she still go into raptures over his curls or come down to plain facts and y that he is even geiting bald? How would we accept the change? In private 1 we may fall in love with nen whose lack of hair seems their one limitation; in fact, we almost go out of our way to appreciate their good points, but in book lore—where ideals scarcely a hair's breadth from perfection— However, Mr. Burnett is doubly ing out of the book, even though not the faintest resemblance to 3 s hile Little Lord Fauntleroy. This lord of to-day is exceptionally clever, having inherited the literary tes of his gifted mother. Mr. Burnett s being much entertained in San Fran- cisco's littie world of letters, where he is adding many strong friends and admirers to his coterie in the East.

TORPEDD BOATS gHORT OF SPEED Twenty-Five New Craft Fall Far Below the Requirements. ~ Special Dispatch to The Cal. BOSTON, June 20.—Through Congres- sional interference with the affairs of the Navy Department the department itself now faces a grave condition, and from $4,500,000 to $7,000,000. These sums represent the amounts paid for torpedo-" boats and torpedo-boat destroyers. The fact that the four Boston-built tor- pedo-boats and torpedo-boat destroyers have not been accepted by the Govern- ment has not been made public, although rumors {9 that effect have been circulated in naval circles. Inquiry by The Call cor- respondent confirms these rumors. More startling, however, is the an- nouncement that out of the twenty-eight torpedo-boats and torpedo-boat destroy- ers launched during the past two years only three—and these three built in Bath, Me.—have met the Government require- ments for speed, varying in the several cases from twenty-eight to thirty knots an hour. The greater part of these boats successfully passed the builders’ test, but were unable to meet the requirements of the department. They have been, with the exception of the -Boston-built boats, ac- cepted by the department, and nothing hes been said of their fallure to show the speed contracted for. It is not the fault of the department that department is the only one to blame for acceptance. Secreiary Long was told by Congress to give the contractors a chance to draw their own plans, for there was an idea in Congress at that time that the outsiders could do better than the regular naval designers and construc- tors; so the bldders put in their own plans and did all the work. The department had nothing to do but carry out the wishes of Congress. As for the bfiilders, most of them have lost money on their contracts, because, after building the boats, they have had to put out thousands of dollars on alter- ations, repairs, new designs for machin- ery, ete. Before Secretary Long left the depart- ment many of the builders went to him and admitted the fact that they could not meet their speed contracts and that they had gone into this business ignorantly. They wanted the Secretary to get Con- ress to make up their losses, Secretary igng had the claims investigated, so that they were reduced to the bare statemient of the m;,“y ::cn;all aid nut,u‘}mt counting the cost of plants or anything fike thed, and the facts will be put pefors Congress next winter. But Secretary Long did not and Secretary Moody wiil not promise any action by the depart- ment, except as Congress itself shall. di- rect. The naval officials = generally have shown a good deal of discrction and for- bearance in keeping these facts quiet. Here was a plan of Congress to show how much better outsiders could do than the naval constructors had done. The builders paid the best men in the profes- sion to draw designs. Some of the signs were bought in_ Europe. Yet in nearly every case the boats have proved disappointing. In time these boats will be replaced with better ones and the old oncs will be sent to the junk heap. They cost from $160,000 to $250,000 apiece and fore the | they will be worn out probably next naval war comes along. BARGE FOUNDERS IN HEMY STORM Captain Manages toSave His Wife and Two Daughters. SANDUSKY, Ohio, June 20.—The steam barge George Dunbar went down in the storm early Sunday morning ten miles east of Kellys Island. The barge carried ten persons. Six of them are still unac- counted for. They are: Mate Myron Tut- tle of Cleveland, Engineer Johuson of Buffalo, Wheelman Eck of Sheboygan, Fireman Charles Washie and two men whose names are not yet learned. The captain, John Little of Purt Huron, his wife and two daughters arrived at Kellys Island in a yawl early Sunday morning. When they reached shoal water near the .island the yawl capsized and the occupants were thrown into the water. The heavy seas washed them ashore, and people who were watching took them in charge. 8o far as i1s known the four who reached Kellys Island are the only survivors. The Dunbar is a steam barge. 140 feel in length, It cleared from Cleveland Sat- urday morning with coal for Captain Little is the owner of the boat. Captain Little devoted most of his e forts to saving the lives of his family. He did not see the crew after leaving the vessel and is of the opinion that if they took to a raft they must have perished, because no small craft could live in the sea that was raging at the time. STRIKE OF COAL MINERS SHOWS NO SIGN OF ENDING. WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 2.—The beginning of the eighth week of the an- thracite miners’ strike shows no change in the situation. At President Mitchell's headquarters National Board Member John Fallon, who is in charge during Mitchell's 'absence in the West, said to-night that the miners were just as determined as ever, and un- less there was arbitration the strike is destined to- go on indefinitely. The na- tional member also denied that there was a% suffering among the strikers. e local operators seem o be a unit in saying that a break in the strikers’ ranks may come any time now. This be- lief is based on reports which the opera- tors claim to have received from many sources that the families of many of the strikers are in want. An attempt will be made to start at least three mines in the Wyoming region to-morrow. The Wyoming silk mill, which has been idle for some time, will resume to-morrow morning. The mill em- ploys 1100 hands, mostly girls, The strike was a sympathetic one. ‘While a number of coal and iron poiice- men who are guarding the Nottingham mine of the Lehlg and Wilkesbarre Coal Company at Plymouth were clean- -ing their re&rm 1 morning one of the suns went off and a bullet struck Henja- min A.

Time of iy g g bR o WIND AND RAIN GAUSE BlG 103 Storm Extends From the Rocky Mountains te Alleghenies, ST. LOUIS, June 29.—This city and vi- cinity is the center of a rainstorm of un- precedented severity that has prevailed almost incessantly since Saturday morn- ing. According to thé local weather bu- reau reports 5.45 inches of rain fell here between 2:30 a. m. Saturday and 8§ p. m. Sunday, and the end is apparently not in sight. At times the storm equaled a cloudburst in severity. The storm is the most widespread that has been experienced, in this country for many years, according to weather bu- reau officials, extending from the Rocky Mountains to the Alleghenies. In Kansas, lIowa, Missouri, Iilinois, In- dana, Ohio and Pennsylvania the rainfall during yesterday and to-day averaged from one to two inches. About an inch on the average fell in the States north, while in those in the south the rainfall was slight- 1y less. Mueh damage, the total estimated at $230,000, resulted from the wind that ac- companied the rain. Last Hight the wind attained a velocity of almost fifty-five miles an hour, blow- ing down trees, telephone, telegraph and trolley foles and interfering with com- munication of all sorts. At least 1000 shade trees in various parts of the city are reported on_ the ground. From the ‘| country surrounding came reports of de- structfon to crops and the washing out of raliroad tracks and bridges, causing much delay to trains. Five hundred feet of the north wall of the Varied Industries Palace at' the World’s Fair grounds fell last night as the result of the storm, the water under- mining the foundations when the wind was at its height. In places the World's Fair grounds are covered with water. One of the most disastrous floods in the history of Alton, Ill, and vicinity result- ed to-day from the heavy rains of Fri- day and Baturday. At 4 o’clock this aft- ernoon it was estimated that 10,000 acres had been covered with the overflow of ‘Wood River, which is three to six miles wide. Most of this land is either occu- pied by manufacturing interests or plant- ed in crops. The greatest single disaster eaused by the flood was the destruction of the glll]l;\t otl 2;: StenTe:ule.Pipe Com- peny at Eas on. e loss is esti- mated at $40,000. ——————— PCPE LEO SENDS A GIFT 3 TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Bishop 0’Gorman of South Dakota Is the Bearer of a View of Rome Done in Mosaic.

Special Dispatch to The Call LOS ANGELES, June 29.—Last Friday a man calling himself P. F. Turner of Bisbee, Ariz., died in ghe bay of Avalon upder very peculiar circumstances. He had come from Los Angeles that morn- ing with a woman whom he said was his wife. In the afternoon he had chartered a about the bay for some time, when sud- denly he fell backward into the water | and there floated, face down and some little distance beneath the surface, until brought up a few minutes later by the boatmen who came at once to the rescue on hearing the woman's cries. All ef- forts at resuscitation proved unavailing | | and the death was apparently not caused | | by drowning. The woman who passed as | epileptic fits, and that one of these was probably what caused his death. Now it is discovered that the man’s real | name was Percy F. Miel, and the reason | for his false registration is more or less of a mystery to his friends here. Miel had lived in Los Angeles about four years, coming here from San Francisco. His father, a very old man, is a retired | clergyman of the Episcopal ehurch and | lives in Philadelphia. An elder brother, | also connected with the same organiza- | tion, has for several years been rector of a | leading church in San Francisco. Some | through one session as chaplain of the| State Senate. | In response (o a telegram sent to the | brother this morning, the Rev. Mr. Mifel | telegraphed to have the body embalmed | and sent at once to the north. It will be | shipped to-morrow at noon. ’ Percy F. Miel Had many warm friends | here. His former wife and two children | reside with Mrs. Mliel’s father, ex-Judge | Sullivan of Alameda. A recent decision | of the court here in some mining litigation | gave the deceased $6000. Only a part of | this had been received by him, and just! how much remains for the widow and | children is not known. | | WILL BUILD LARGEST | COTTON MILL IN WORLD | Ten Million Dollars Are to Be In- vested in a Plant in Missouri.

Other losers were John Watkins, G. W. Miller, Scott Whipple and Jacob Mansfield. The loss is about $7000, with partfal insurance. Two hundred and fifty men, women and boys fought the fire to | prevent it burning their homes. The fire | was caused by men having a tar kettle | on a pipe line. A region four miles wide | and six miles long was swept over. Another fire, started from a steam driller near Oroville, swept over 200 acres. Orie hundred acres of barley, ready for cutting, was owned by Thomas McGee. Fred Faul had a cow in pasture and could not get her out in time to save her.

LOS ANGELES, June 29.—Former State Sepator Robert N. Bulla returned to-day from Yosemite Valley, where he has been with Senator Thomas Flint Jr. and Sen- ator Belshaw. He has been in the cen- tral portion of the State for several weeks, making a study of the paliticai situation with reference to the guberna- torial contest. He has been prominently identified with the candidacy of Senatof Flint for Governor ever since it was an- nounced. Asked what his views of the situation were he said to-night: “I am surprised at the unanimity of sentiment in the central portion of the State, the San Joagquin Valley and north of it, against the renomination and re- election of Gage, The Gage forces had been claiming that part of the State, and went into it to ascertain what bas existed for their claims. 1 was agreeably surprised at the result. “I did not go only to anti-Gage men but among men in politics whom I h: known for years, and asked them con dentially as to the situation. Almost ir variably I received replies that indicated an almost universal sentiment against Gage, or not so much against Gage per- sonally_as against the boss rule and ma his administration. 2 “At Fresno I !earned of two Govern- ment employes, one of them a deputy un- der Revenue Collector Lynch and another a Deputy United States Marshal, who made a tour through several counties on business and incidentally asked those about them what they thought of Gage. They reported that out of twenty-six in- fluential eitizens to whom the inquiry was put twenty-five stated that they hoped Gage would not be renominated and fur- r asserted that if ne Is renominated v would not vote for him. That San Pedro criminal libel case is being talked of all over the State, and the only sentiment I have heard express- ed is that Gage, in taking the case to San Pedro, sought to vent personal spite in- stead of to secure justice. The people cannot understand why he took the ease to a point remote from San Franei where it might have been speedilyy apd decided, By those with whom fi con- versed his action in taking the case to San Pedro is regarded as an effort to play politics and not to secure a‘vindication. He has not helped himself by this action. “In Sacramento Flint will divide the delegation with Gage. In spite of the fact that Gage. is claiming the entire Sacra- mento delegation I know that he will get only about half of it. Four-fifths of the delegates thus far elected have been in- structed for Flint and others will receive similar _instructions. We will g0 to the State convention rom Los Angeles Coun- ty with at least 40 per cent of the dele- gates and we hope to have 6) per cent. I consider Gage already beaten, but the Flint supporters will not cease work until the nomination has been mad Good enough for anybody! fu.L HAVANA Flu.zs\ of same value as tags from “STAR," * HORSE SHOE™ *SPEARHEAD," " STANDARD NAVY™ " “OLD PEACH & HONEY.” * SAW LOG," * OLE VARCINY™ " visit DR.
