United Railroads Will Only Deal With Employes. Local Unions Confi= dent Difficulty Will Be Settled. Trouble is again brewing between the streetcar employes of San Francisco and the United Railroads. The controversy is said to have been caused through Man- ager George F. Chapman, who succeeded . P. Vining, refusing to recognize Rich- ard Cornelius as an employe or grievance committee. Two weeks ago Cornellus, who is presi- dent of the local lodge of the Amalga- mated Association of Street Railway Em- | ployes, presented to Manager Chapman a | protest that .ad been given him by some | of the employes of the road. Manager | Chapman is said to have stated at the time that he could only deal with em- ployes of the road and no one else. As President Cornelius had resigned to take active charge of the local assoclation and was no longer on _the pay roll of the United Rallroads, Manager Chapman took | this stand. No hasty steps were taken in the mat- ter on either side, but yesterday the executive council of the association met and after hearing President Cornelius’ re- Holland’'s attention to the grievance and asking that he take immediate action in reticent as to the controversy. Last Thursday a Call reporter paid a visit to the office of Manager Chapman and re- quested an Interview about the affair. To all questions Chapman sent out a reply that “he was getting along very well with his men.” Neither side will make a state- ment for publication. In the settlement of the late streetcar strike the directors of the Unied Rail- roads presented the following paragraph in their agreement: It will not, however, deal in matters involving the management of its own affairs with other than its own employes or committees thereof, As President Cornelius is no longer em- ployed by the road it is supposed that stand under instructions from the East. It is not deemed a serious question zmong the local labor unions and it is predicted that the matter will be settled amicably as soon as word has been re- ccived from the executive offices in the East.

Law Against Tearing Up Streets Is Held Invalid. Judge Cabaniss Dis= misses Arrested Employes. A case to test the constitutionality of an ordinance passed by the Board of Su- pervisors, which prohibited any company trom breaking up the streets of the city for the purpose of laying gas, water or other pipes without first obtaining a per- mit from the Board of Public Works, was declded by Judge Cabaniss yesterday, who declared the ordinance unconstitutional. 8ix employes of the Independent Elec- tric Light and Power Company were ar- rested two or three months ago on com- plaint of an inspector of the Board of Public Works for breaking up Valencia | and other streets in the Mission without first obtaining the permit from the board. | The case came before Judge Cabaniss and | was argued by Attorneys Preston and | Kellogg for the defendants and by Attor- ney John B. Gartland for the Board of Works. As a similar case, that of the People vs. | Johnston, had been taken to the Supreme Court from Pasadena for decision, Judge | Cabaniss reserved his judgment till the | result of this case was known. The high- | er tribunal rendered a decision that the ordinance was unconstitutional and vold, holding that the Board of Works had cnly the power to regulate and control the matter of excavating the streets, but could not absolutely withhold permission. | Judge Cabaniss accordingly dismissed the | case in his court. | A few weeks before the case was taken | into Judge Cabaniss’ court a similar case, in which employes of the same company vere defendants, was disposed of by Judge Fritz, who had no hesitation in de- claring the ordinance unconstitutional. FLOWER SHOW WILL COUNTINUE TO-DAY Pacific Coast Horticultural Society Prolongs Time of Exhibition of Fruits and Blooms. The floral show of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society will continue in the ferry. building to-day. The exhibitors have added new supplies and the flowers and fruits are in such excellent condition that the management decided to keep the doors open another day. Yesterday the florists competed for prizes to be awarded for the most artis- tic basket of flowers put on exhibition. Cleis won the first prize, showing American beauty roses, maidenhair ferns, lly of the vailey and asparagus with illusion, the whole being arranged in the shape of a basket and crescent.

Twenty-four years ago, in '78, was founded this series of entertainments, that from a modest camp-fire picnic of a few congenial and city-wearied spirits has become a foregathering of Bohemia ifrom all parts of the world. To “Joe" Tilden, prince of good fellows, who solved years ago the grave problem of feeding the hungry of Bohemia among the wild woods, is accorded perhaps chiefest honor of the “Jink’s” Inception. “Find me 100 men at $ a head in the club and I will “The Man in the Forest’ Is Produced by the Talented Members of Famous Club ries of Eleusis have been the famous rites of the “jinks,” for the press, as such, is not among those present at the festival. From an informal song and story about a campfire the entertainment proper has grown into a beautiful and impressive pageant, usually designed and always carried out by the members of the club. There is a stage, the largest in the world, backed by a wooded hill that breaks the spacious amphitheater in which the “Jinks” is given. There is an orchestra of fifty members, that is sunk out of sight like that at Bayreuth, and a chorus also numbering fifty men. There are eight double calclums and numberless electric lights for the lighting effects, that against the soft night of the redwoods are sin- gularly impressive, The acoustics of this natural theater are perfect.

The ' commissariat _problem—ever: a troublesome one in Bohemia—thus set- the rest was easily arranged, for who knows better than Bohemia how to amuse herself? With Hugh Burke as sire” and Frank Pixley and John F. Swift as contributors, the first iinks proper took place in the same noble belt cf forest in which the club now has its permanent summer home. It did not take long to discover that the “jinks” was exactly what Bohemia need- ed. The chance to “go barefoot again, and ride on a pig with your face to its tail’—as one literary light has phrased it—was theirs, though their revolt against the conventions has not so far taken quite that form. Rather in the primeval joy of war-whooping apd singing un- | carthly ballads in voices to which Bohe- mia’s symbolic owl hoot is musical does their itch for freedom express itself, and the friendly old redwoods, listening, look down and understand. Having so found what they desired, the members present at the first ‘“jinks" wanted to buy the grove that night. Needless to say they did not, but not very far from the historic spot is the grove where now Bohemia holds her summer sway. JINKS EVERY YEAR. Every year since that time has seen its midsummer jinks. The entertainment has become more ambitious, its character more elaborate, but the spirit is the same. Tt is the time of the shaking off of shackles, the time when men of the pen and palétte and_desk touch hands with nature and worship her each in his own peculiar way. For the “jinks” includes a solemn ceremonial, that for “dignity and grandeur,” said Sir Henry Irving, guest of the club at one of these affairs, ‘g not paralleled by any out-of-door enter- tainment in the world.” Almost as secret as the ancient myste- surreptitious peep at the spectacle hear all add nobly to the Hst. everything almost to the camp limits. All countries have been ravaged to pro- vide material for the festivals and all the genlus of the club lgid under contribu- tion. ‘“‘As You Like It,”” given under the direction of Clay Greene and Joseph Gris- mer twenty years ago was one of the first fmportant entertainments. Another spectacie, to which the weird lighting ef- fects possible among the redwoods con- tributed very largely, was the incanta- tion scene from “Der Freischutz,” that was effectively produced under Dr. H. J. Stewart’s direction. Fred Somers, the ge- nius respgonsible for the characteristic club rite of the ‘‘burial of care,” evolved a splendid ‘Buddha festival, in_which a reproduction of the famous Dal Butsu, 110 feet high, figured to excellent advantage. Al Gerberding, long president of the club and since gone over to the majority, was the author of a very successful Greek “jinks,” built around Diana of Ephesus. Then there was an Egyptian “jinks,” and Captain Robert Fletcher was responsible for a_welrdly effective scene from *Rip Van Winkle” on another occasion. MANY HAVE CONTRIBUTED. Long, indeed, is the list of those who have contributed in their several ways to these festivals. To Vanderlyn Stow.and Mayor Phelan the club owes much in connection with its woodland temple. General Barnes was always inspired here to his highest flights of oratory, and Judge Boalit as high priest long lent his lovable personality to the scenes. Poet Dan O’Connell's shade must still love to revisit the spot where his frequent rhyme Jingled, and Al Gerberding will not be far distant. “Uncle” George Bromley's white head still adorns the yearly show, and William Greer Harrison counts bicycling well lost while it lasts.

Walla. Persons whose relatives have been killed on the high seas by drowning or otherwise have no legal redress for dam- ages agalnst a steamship company. Judge de Haven so decided yesterday in the matter of the petition of the Pacific Com- pany, owner of the steamship Walla Wal- la, and the Pacific Coast Steamship Com- pany for a limitation of liability for dam- ages caused by the sinking of the Walla Walla in the Pacific Ocean near Cape Mendocino on January 2, 1902. The dis- aster was caused by a collision of the steamship with the French bark Max. Three damage suits aggregating. $150,000 had been brought against the steamship company by relatives of Loulse Emerson Kotzchamer, Walter Boyle "Moore and Mrs. Iola Field, who were drowned on that occasion. Judge de Haven decided that there was no statute giving cause of action for deaths occurring on the high seas. Judge Beatty, sitting in_the United States Circuit Court last Monday, ren- dered a similar decision in the case of Cecily Farren against the steamer Ven- tura_for $50,000 damages for the aceiden- tal death of her husbandfi William Far- ren, a fireman, who was killed on the h}gh seas by the bursting of a steam pipe.

REDDING, AUTHOR OF INCIDENTAL MUSIC TO ‘'THE MAN IN THE FOREST.” Among artists who pioneered the spectacle were Taver- nier, Tom Hill, Joe Strong, Toby Rosen- thal and Virgil Willlams; Latimer, Jouil- lin, Stanton, Dickman and Rollo Peters carrying on the work. The musicians have also done yeoman service, Dr. H. J. Stewart, Henry Heyman, Donald de V. Graham, William Hopkins, Joseph Red- ding and Ben Clark being of the com- pany. Last night, under. a brilliant star-lit sky. the latest specimen of Bohemian genius was produced. It is the joint production of Joseph D. Redding, whose musical wit has furnished the lyrics and orchestral accompaniment, and “‘Charley” Field, who | is responsible for the clever book. = The drama expresses in allegory Bohemia's protection of the redwoods, and 18 fitied ~The Man in the Forest," but better known as the “Indian Jinks.” Perhaps Bohemia’s redwoods have never looked down upon a more picturesque company than the gayly blanketed and befeathered Indians that foregathered beneath them last night. They trod the woodland stage under Amadee Joullin’s artistic_direction, to the tune of Mr. Redding’s Wagnerian phrase, as if horn to the garb, entering into the spirit of the spectacle like vet- | eran actors. CAST OF THE DRAMA. Following is the cast, that was nobly assisted by a large chorus of dusky war- riors and Bohemians: Chief of the tribe, J. C. Wilson, the owl, F, Deering; a runner, R, I Altken; the counselor of peace, E. D. Peixotto, the advo- cate of war. William Thomas; the tribe’s his- torian, R. M. Hotaling; the medicine man, Amadee Jouliin; the tribe's musician, O'Sullivan; the Bohemian, J. Wilson Shiels; hag, W. H. Smith Jr.; care, C. K. Field, The theme of the drama is truly Bohe- mian, the synopsis running something as follows: The action begins with a storm on the stage and in the orchestra. The storm music sub- sides into the quiet melody of the Bohemian, CONGRESSMAN GAINES IS TOURING THE COAST He Is Accompanied by N. T. Bryan, a Well-Known Attorney of Nashville, Tenn. Congressman John W. Gaines of Nash- ville, Tenn., is at the Occidental. He is tovring the coast for pleasure after a hard compaign, in which he secured his renomination for the lower house. He was in this city last December, en route to Washington from the Philippines, Wwhere he went .to study the conditions of the ccuntry. Congressman Gaines is accompanied by N. T. Bryan, ex-State Senator of Tennes- see, who is a_well-known attorn and politiclan of Nashville. Attorney an says that the ts of the South Denis | 2o the theme of promise. The chief of the tribe, alone in the silent camp, lamenting the threat- eped annihflation of his people, hears the owl hooting in the forest. He invokes the mys- terlous bird, and with a rush of wings the owl enters. He prophesies that a deliverer shall come into the forest. During this pro- phecy’ the Bohemian melody and the theme of care are suggested in the orchestra. The chief now summons the tribe, to whom the prophecy is to be repeated. The Indians enter to tho pulsing_rhythm of their lament, the theme of care. Suddenly a runner enters, telling of a captive white man. Discussion follows in ths council ring and the tribe’s historian tells them the legend of the man in the forest. The medi- cine man urges the tribe to proceed with the snake dance, the mystic dance of prayer, that | the gods may dectde for the people. | RETIRE TO THEIR TEPEES. The priests and braves retirs to their tepees to offer the preliminary prayer and to put on the sacred paint. The tribe’s musiclan plays a welrd melody upon his pipe and to this ac- | companiment the Indians burst into their snake | dance, and finally, in their frenzy, dash mto the depths of the woods. At this juncture the scouting. party returns with its captive, t Bohemian. In his footsteps follows the spect Care, menacing the camp.
