JAKE JOSEPH, Representative, 300 Battery Street, 8an Francisco. That’s All! LABOR TROUBLE MAY BE ENDED Conference Committees Will Hold Meeting To-Day. The dispute which for the last several months had been agitating the members of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and the Bullding Trades Council may possibly be brought to 2 close this afternoon, when the conference committees meet. At least something may be done that will result in & settlement of the deplorable trouble. One of the committes was appointed by the Labor Council, one by the Building Trades Council and the third by the City Front Federation, which is only indirectly interested in the dispute. The meeting has been set for 2 o’clock and will be held in the Odd Fellows' building. For the last two days there has been practicelly no change in the situation. Neither the Brotherhoo# nor the Trades Council has shown any disposition to sur- render. The contractors have not dis- charged any more of the Brotherhood men because they were unable to display the working card of the Building Trades Council and they will in all probability ot discharge any more. The business ixdustry at present is far too prosperous to permit the contractors, and especially the large ones, to take part in the car- M;;err fight ere are =0 many bulldings 1 course of construction and cu'venv.;s 3: in such t demand that it does the cause of the Brotherhood no harm to have its members discharged, for they are able to get new positions almost immediately. What action the committees will take at their joint meeting this £fternoon has not yet been stated. They evidently have power to put an end to the trouble if they can but come to an agreement. The committeemen from the Building Trades Council may be rather shy about allow- ing the joint conference to result in any definite " decision. The representatives from the Citzrhl"ront Federation, which is affiliated wi the Labor Council, are friendly to the Brotherhood, as that or- ganization also owes alleglance to the Labor Council. For this reason the Bulld- ing es Council may look with sus- gic:cn on any plan of settlement that may & proposed. ‘The action of*the contractors in remain- ing practically neutral has taken all the excitement out of the fight. There is a rumor to the effect that the contractors have adopted a Fabian policy until after the present rush of business is over, and that then they will take up the Building Trades’ fight against the Brotherhood in earnest. e rumor has gained strength by reason of the Building Trades Coun- cil’s attempt to induce carpenters to come here from other States. These foreign carpenters will all be non-unfon men, as union men would not come to this city while the fight is on, and they could be used to supplant the Brotherhood men when the contractors commence to dis- charge them. The leaders of the Brather- hood declare if such is the policy the contractors and of the Building Trades Council it will be most bitterly fought. They claim that they will not allow out- siders to be brought here to take the places of men who have for years had their homes in this city and who have their families to support. The Labor Council is making extensive preparations ¥for entertaining the dele- gates to the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor when they arrive here on July 2L A reception wiil be tendered to President Samuel Gompers at the Grand Hotel.

Much interest will be attached during the next few weeks to the possible devel- opment in the region of Haltmoon Bay, in San Mateo County. Oil of 50 gravity and better has been struck there. There have been many conflicting stories con- cerning the find. Parties who are inter- ested in other properties than the one on which the oil has been discovered have inquired earnestly about the real facts. | One extravagant rumor has' been given currency to the effect that the well, which is owned by Guiberson, Sallee and Hayne, started in as a gusher at the rage of 1000 barrels per day. The real fact appears to be, from the statement of an entirely re- liable party, one of the owners, that the well started about ten days ago, with a high pressure and ran for one hour ot tharate of Lwenty-five barrels for the hour. Then the flow was shut off. The owners do not attempt to forecast any- thing concerning the future of their prop- erty, but give out that they are satisfled that they have a good weil. They have now sunk six wells in all. The producer is the sixth. 1If the new discoveries should determine that there is a new district in San Mateo County it will be of much significance and will generally encourage the northern ex- plorers for oll, especially in the countles afijoining San Mateo County. Oil has not been produced in commercial quantities north of Summerland hitherto. According to the statistics prepared by F. H. Oliphant for the United States Geo- Jogical Survey the petroleum production in 1901 was 69,389,154 barrels, being larger than that of any previous year. Continu- ing the report says: Tt was larger by 5,768,665 barrels, or 9 per cent, than the production of the year 1900. The increase in_the production of 1900 over 1899 was 6,201,854 barrels, or 11 per cent, and the increase in 1899 over 1898 was 3 per cent, or an average gain of 7.7 per cent for the last three years, As compared with the value of the total production of 1900, 63,620,520 barrels, valued at $75,989,318, the total production of 1901, 69,389,~ 194 barrels, valued at $66,417,335, shows a de- Cline of $9,571,987. In the order of production Ohto comes first, with over 21,000,000 bar- rels; West Virginia second, with over 14,000,000 barrels; Pennsylvania third, with over 12,- 000,000 California fourth, with over 8,000,000 Indiana fifth,’ with over 5,000,000 barrel Texas sixth, with over 4,000,000 a loss in production as compared with 1900 for Oho, West Virginia and Penheyivania and o gain of nearly 4,500,000 barrels for California, of a little over 3,500,000 barrels for Texas and of nearly 900,000 barrels for Indiana. This production for 1901, by flelds, was in round numbers for the Appa- lachian field, 83,600,000 barrels; the Lima-In- diana fleld, 21,900,000 barrels; the Southern California_field, 8,800,000 barrels, and for the Texas field, 4,400,000 barrels. The Summerland Advance-Courler says: All arrangements have been perfected to car- Ty the Mueller well, which has now reached a depth of 1100 feet, to a depth of 1500 feet if found necessary. J. L. Baisley, the driller, has secured a sufficient number of signatures to-a guarantee to cover the cost of a string of four and a half inch casing, with the understanding that if ofl is struck the money will be refunded. If 1o ofl is found each subscriber will receive his pro rata share of the casing.. The necessary string of small drilling tools has arrived. From indications, such as oil in the shale and siderable flow of gas from the casing, Mr. Ba! ley feels confident he is not far from an stratum hitherto untouched. The King refinery probably will be run- ning by September 1, so says the Bakers- field Californian. The. company will put In two 150-barrei stills and one 300barrel still.

He said they were always beating him and taking cake and other things from him. He knew the Hall of Justice because he had been a witness in a case about threc weeks ago. He was told that Captain Spillane would be notifiled to see that the tig boys did not beat him again, and he went away happy. PERSONAL MENTION. B. R. Bailey of San Jose is at the Grand. J. P.

Bach Lad Slightly Cuts the Other and Both Go to Prison. — Max Albert and George Vowinkle, two schoolboys, aged 14 and 13 years respec- tively, fought a duel with pocketknives on Shipley street early last evening. The subject of contention was a fair maid named Flossie Smith, who has seen 12 summers. Albert and Vowinkle have been rivals for the hand of little Flossie. They bought her gumdrops and licorice candy and even allowed her to shoot off their fireworks in order to win her smiles. Sad to relate, Flossle was fickle. She ac- cepted the attentlons of Max with as much grace as she did those of George. The friendship that existed between the two ardent youngsters cooled perceptibly. They threatened to batter each other on sight. Their playmates tried to patch up the breach that existed between them, but without avall. Max thirsted for Georgie’s blood and the latter was just as violent in his threats, Last night Flossle’s mother sent h:l;l t: to buy some codfis] 59 S T3 iss stepped out of the family mansion Max gallantly bowed and begged theprivilege of escorting her to the store and packing back the fish. As the couple pranced up the street they passed Georgle. Max threw out his chest. Georgie was chewing some tutti fruttl and was pulling strings of gum out of his mouth in order to tempt Flossie from his rival. Flossie ignored the balt, as her escort promised to buy her some ‘“ping pong”_candy. As Max passed Georgie he raised his nose perceptibly. The sign of contempt did not escape rival. He spat out the gum, picked u: a tomato that was over- ripe and shied it with unerring aim at ax. It hit the latter in the ear and Flossie shrieked, as she thought her lover was bleeding from a wound. Max afe“d‘ ““Curse yer,” having heard the villain yell that in the last melodrama, and then rushed back to dv“nlsh Georgle. Flossie waited to see the onset and as soon as they were hot at it, she tripped merrily to the grocery store for her cod- fish, unmindful of the result of the battle. The rivals fought hard. Playmates g%thered round and enjoyed the bout. @ youngsters soon forgot uppercuts and resorted to knives. Each possessed & blunt pocketknife and each wielded it with murderous intent. Max was cut in the hand and Georgie in the shoulder. The duel was stopped by the police. A big officer grabbed the two lads and car- ried them to the hospital for treatment and then brought them before Captain Spillane, who ordered them into custody. The fickle Flossie will now- have nothing to do with either. She has a new ad- mirer. The latter is crosseyed, but Flos- sle does not care, as he spends all the xtrlmney he makes selling old sacks and bot- es. i Assaulted by Hoodlums. B. A. Taylor, residing at 22 Sanchez street, complained to the police yester- day that he had been set upon and as- saulted by a “nin hoodlums on the night of ‘ou of July while re- turning from visiting a sick friend on Elizabeth street. Detective Fitzgerald was detalled to investigate the case and report to police headquarters. ‘Waiter Is Arrested. Russell F.

GHINESE oTEAL BEAUTIFUL GIRL Half-White Annie Wat- son Is Kidnaped by Highbinders. The police in Chinatown are searching for Miss Annie Watson, a beautiful girl, half Chinese and half American, who is supposed to have been abducted and con- fined in some dingy basement to await whatever disposition her captors may de- sire to make™™t her. Miss Watson, whose mother is an American woman and whose father is a Chinese, disappeared early yes- terday and until a late hour last night the efforts of the police to locate here were for naught. She is 17 years of age, five and a half feet tall, of slender build and olive complexion, has dark brown hair and at- tires herself in the American fashion. According to the story told by Mrs. Wat- son to the police, the girl has been the vie- tim of a gang of highbinders, who have abducted her for reward. The young lady is deemed a beauty among the Mongoi- lans. Several attempts to purchase the girl have been made and when they failed it is said that threats were made to kidnap her. The mother thinks the girl was lured to some place by her enemies, her clothes changed, and that she is being kept in se- clusion. Thus far the police have been unable to find any clew to her where- abouts in the Chinese quarter. —_—— Castro Spreads False Rumor.
