Two others escaped with contused wounds. There is a new building going up at the corner named and at the time of the ac- cident John Ruckert, foreman of the car- enters at work on it and who resides at 29 Twenty-seventh street, was standing on the third floor. Charles Thobae and Frederick Axlbright, his assistants, were on the second story, aiding him in hoist- ing the derrick with the object of getting boom on the floor upon which Ruckert was stationed. ‘While the men were thus engaged the derrick veered to one side, fell and hit the end of the plank upon which the fore- man was standing. He was thrown sev- eral feet into the air, as if from a cata- pult. He landed in the basement, striking his head against a joist of the lower floor When ‘assistance arrived he was found to be unconscious and was im- mediately removed to the Emergency Hospital. Drs. Harvey and Bunnell made an ex- amination and discovered that Ruckert was suffering from a fracture of the skull. They trephined the front portion skull. The doctors have grave fears that Ruckert will die. In addition to this injury, Ruckert sus- tained a fracture of the left thigh bone, ) IRECTORS HAVE WARN ARGUMENT Condition of Washington School Is Considered by Board. School Director Roncovieri, accompa- nied by Frank Schmitz, the Mayor's brother, visited the old Washington Grammar School at Washington and Ma- son streets some days ago and found the building to be in very bad shape. They found the front balcony to be absolutely rotten and the boards and beams in the basement in such a condition that at any time the whole building might totter and fall under its own weight. At a secret conference of the Board of Education yesterday- Mr. Roncovieri brought the matter of the Washington School bullding before the other members and explained the rotten condition of the structure. He told them of the unstableness of the entire structure and declared that in his opinfon the structure should never be re- opened. The Director further said that he thought some plan should be formu- lated and perfected to distribute the pu- pils of the Washington Grammar School on the reopening of the school two weeks hence untll a new building could be erected where the old structure has done such good service during the last forty vears. Thomas P. Woodward, chairman of the Repairs Committee, gave the impression that the fact of his brother Director hav- ing visited the bullding was distasteful to him, as such investigations belonged to his own particular committee, of which he was chairman. A heated argument ensued and at the next meeting of the board the matter will be thoroughly threshed out. —_— ‘Widow Sues for Insurance. Johanna Hinkle, widow of C. E.

The Call prediction regarding Dr. Law- ior's management of the Feeble-.\lin!.ied Home has been verified. Sho;!!g‘ ?}l!er y nzie was appointed by Gov- rnor Gage te vagt e, and Mrs. Ovborne from the home there was a meeting of the directors at the Grand Hotel. Im- { | mediately after the raw programme sub- mitted by Mackenzie was adopted the Girectors supporting the scheme scam- pered away to avoia demands of the press for an explanation of the change. Ome director, who was under special obligation to the superintendent’s family for many acts of kindly help and sympathy, re- turped conscience-stricken to square himself, but made matters worse by his apelogies. The programme directors, who got their orders from the superservice- able Governor, fancied that if no expla- nations were made the public indignation over the change would soon subside. It 1s to the credit of the independent press of California that the outrageous conduct of the Governor was Kept fresh in the minds of the people, and Gage, in the face of public censure, must order the removal of the political-push doctor in order to shield himself from a tempest of popular wrath. In doing this he will follow the path-which The Call blazed for his use. SAN JOSE GAGE PUSH. The attempt of the Gage push at San Jose to override the law and ignore the will of the people expressed at the ballot box will render it impossible for the Gov- ernor to obtain a supporting delegata from Santa Clara County to the Repub- lican State Convention. The people will not submit to push outlawry. e pro- gramme of resistance was handed out by Mackenzie, and Mackenzie was commis- swned to do Gage golltics at the expense of the tax-payers. Mackenzie never balks at a programme. It makes no difference to him whether the programme applied to the'City Council of San Jose, the Harbor Cemmission of San Francisco or to_ the unfortunate children of the Glen Ellen Feeble-Minded Home. He is the incar- nation of the programmed push. When the Governor says “Johnny, get your push,” the administration knows that the push will line up.- Next January Johnny will leave the water front of San Fran- cisco. It seems to be settled that the Senate will not take action on the Gage appointments to the Harbor, Insurance and other commissions, so that the new Governor may withdraw the Gage ap- pointments and present others.

Mr. Barker is a candidate for | Republican nomination for the office of Btate Superintendent of Public In- struction. DECLINE NOMINATION. William T. Jane and Harry Knox, re- solving to stand by the Union - Laber Party, have addressed the following letter to the manager of another political party: SAN FRANCISCO, July 7, 1902, Mr. George W. Montelth, Chairman Industria] Federation Party—Dear Sir: Seeing a report in the dally papers that we were nominated for Secretary of State and Railroad Commissioner, respectively, by the Industrial Federation party. ‘we have been patiently awaiting an official no- tification of that fact, but, as we have received none, in justice to otirselves and the cause o are interested In, we feel that it is time for us to decline the nomination tendered us. In so doing We wish to state that we are not at all unmindful of the great honor conferred on us, but we have always advocated the Union Labor party and feel that our first alleglance is due them. Very respectfully, WILLIAM T. JANE. HARRY A. KNOX. FARMERS REACH SHARP CRISIS Must Guarantee Work for Eastern Men to Get Rates. e Railroad People Will Not Bring Fruit Pickers Upon Gamble. BRI~ 65~ The prospect that the Sacramento Val- ley will be able to get from the East 5000 mer to help harvest the great fruit crop that is ripening there is imperiled by the | Inaction of the frult growers. This was made clear in an interview which H. P. Stabler, who has charge of the interests of the Sacramento Valley fruit growers in this regard, had yesterday with the passenger department of the Southern Pacific Company. To bring the 5000 Eastern men here & low rail rate is necessary. Mr. Stabler came to San Francisco without a signed agreement from the fruit growers that they will give the men needed three months’ work. He has been strugsling hard to get such an agreement, the basis of which is that the men shall have three months’ work at the rate of $1 per day and also their board. Fruit growers view the proposition favorably in all parts of the valley, but they have not formally agreed to fix the numfbpr of me‘n tlhat they will . onsible for on arrival. b urgh of the Southern Pacific Company said that it will be impossible to persuade the Eastern connecting rail lines to make the low passenger rates that are needed unless they are assured a certain amount of business. The South- ern Pacific Company naturally desires to get the business of bringing out 5000 per- sons to this State, and also sees momey in freights that will arise from having ail the fruit of the Sacramento Valley prop- | erly carea for. But there is a large “if” in the way which the fruit growers can remove if they will. Mr. Stabler heard the state- ment that was made and agreed to do all he could to get the fruit growers into line. If there is any fallure it will not be Mr. Stabler's fault, for he has trav- eied through the valley counties and has argued with every fruit grower that he has met, pointing out how easily the shortage in labor can be obviated. Mr. Stabler said last evening that It is well that the fruit growers should know that they have something to do to bring in. fruit pickers. He has been acting for the Sacramento Valley Development As- sociation, which indorsed the plan, which he originally suggested. There has been a shortage of labor when frult was ripe | for the last four years. This year the crop is larger than in anyv recent year—in fact, being a full crop. Thirteen counties in the Sacramento ,Valley are directly concerned. To-day Mr. Stabler will go to San Jose to meet with the California Cured Fruit Assoclation to advocate the expenditure of money for advertising California prunes. At the same time he will see whether the Santa Clara Valley people will take part in guaranteeing work for fruit pickers from the East. Letter Carriers’ Delegates.

The Civil Service Commission seut a communication to the Board of Public Works yesterday to the effect. that Thomas Christal, who is superintending the construction of the Army-street sewer extension, was not serving legally as such, This information was conveyed in reply to a letter from the Board of Works stat- ing that the Bricklayers' Union had pro- tested against Christal's employment. be- cause he is not a memoer of the union, In the letter to the Board of Works the Civil Service Commission states that. in the examination for street and sewer in- spectors in which Christal was successful 10 questions had ever been asked as to the building of brick sewers and conse- quently Christal was not competent to act as such superintendent. The commission stated that it is ready to certify the name of eligibles for the position from another source. Under this ruling Chridtal will have to be transferred to another place, and the Board of Public Works may thus be enabled to appoint a man who will meet with the requirements of the Brick- layers’ Union, o WO S A Files Five New Suits.

Captain Richter joined the Knights of Pythias -in 1891. " In 189 the Supreme Lodge . of the order made a regulation Compare the Royal Bengal Cigar with any other brand and you will find that its quality is unequaled is also the biggest little cigar that the insurance policies of members should 'be forfeited in case they should join the army or navy for active service in time of war. Relying on this by-law, payment on Captain Richter's policy was refused. It was shown that the deceased had pald dues, regularly prior to his de- parture for the Philippines and that he was in ‘good and regular standing. The order was first incorporated under the name of Supeme Lodge of Knights ol Pythias of the World. The name was changed and the organization was rein- corporated in 1894, which was after the time when Richter-was admitted to mem- bership. At the time of the change the | deceased was given no information on the subject, and su?gosed, as did all other members of the order, that the original certificates were still good. It was so de- signed by the Supreme Lodge also. The new incorporation agreed to be responsi- ble for all debts, accounts, contracts, claims, etc., of its predecessor. The court holds that while the original organization. had power to turn over its property and debts to the new Supreme | ge, it could not delegate power to make laws in reference to existing con- tracts. As Richter was a member of the order previous to reincorporation, after which the army and navy regulation was passed, 1t is decided that his certificate is 8ood .and that the insurance must be paid: \ —_— —_— Form New Shipping Company.
