The men out are members of Boxmak- ers’ and Sawyers’ Union, Local No. 152, and include practically all the men em- ployed in this branch of industry in the city.

KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM, Or Your Hair Will Fall Out Till You Become Bald. Modern science has discovered that dandruff is caused by a germ that digs up the scalp in scales, as it burrows down to the roots of the hair, where it destroys the hair's vitality, causing falling hair, and, ultimately, baldness. After Prof. Unna, of Hamburg, Germany, discovered the dandruff germ, all efforts to find a remedy failed until the great laboratory discovery was made which resulted in Newbro's Herpicide.

WOODS Formal Protest Against His Dismissal From State University by Faculty for Making Fun of In- trants---Proposed Action Arouses Opposition - £ STUDENT WHOM FELLOW COL- LEGIANS HAVE PETITIONED SHALL NOT BE SUSPENDED. + fense which is alleged to be unsubstan- tiated by any faculty ruling. When it was understood yesterday that all cf the five offenders who had been called before the students’ affairs com- mittee had been dismissed with a severe reprimand except Woods, who was held on a charge of previous insubordination, Bruce Wright, president of the Associated Students, went before the president. He learned that Woods was to be dismissed m college and was advised to confer with Professor Clarence Corey, chairman of the students’ affairs committee. Professor Corey, after some hesitation, gonceded to Wright the privilege of gain- ing student opinion on the matter before final action should be taken. The peti- tion immediately was started and it Is probable that a speclal meeting of the executive committee of the Assoclated Students will also take the matter under a sement. The petition is worded so as to state plainly the popular student opinion on the question of the dismissal of Woods. 1t is as follows: Whereas, W. A. B. Woods, a member of the class of 1904, has been singled out from among & number of students who participated In josh- ing intrants and threatened with suspension for an alleged offense against the regulations of the university; and \Whereas, This custom has heretofore been carried on by upper classmen wi from the faculty: and o potil Whereas, There has been no order forbldding such action on the part of the students. We therefore, believing that the sald stu- dents participated in such joshing wholly with. out intent of injuring either said intrants or the name of the university, do earnestly petition that no action be taken detrimental to the col- lege career of Mr. Woods. e S SRR ROR MR MO Y :| WATERS IS NOT SHORT WORKS BOARD CONSIDERS .OPENING OF TURK STREET Point Raised as to Validity of Deed Conveying City Land to Archbishop. The Board of Works yesterday consid- ered its resolution of intention to grade and sewer Turk street, between Broderick street and Masonic avenue. The improv- ing of the thoroughfare named would open up a new district now closed by rea- son of the existence of the cemeteries. Archbishop Riordan protested against the work through his attorney, John J. O’Toole, on the ground that the assess- ment district set out in the resolution is too small. When Turk street from Brod- erick westerly was reduced by the Su- pervisors from 100 feet In width to sixty- nine feet the city deeded the difference of thirty-one feet to the Archbishop, John Tobin raised the point that the deed is of no effect for the reason that the hibits the transfer of public property for private use. The board referses the mat- ter to the City Attorney to determine if the city had the right to transfer the land to the Archbishop. The latter has a suit pending against the city to quiet title to the land. If the grant to the Archbishop is vold and the ordinance reducing the width of the street is legal the city would be llable for one-half the expense of the entire work of grading Turk street. —_———— Only $2.00 to Ukiah and Return, On Sunday, August 24, the California Northwestern Railway will run an ox- cursion to Ukiah.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 21— The sharp rejoinder of United States Minister Leishman to the Porte is having the de- sived effect of hastening the carrying out ! of the latter’s engagements for the settle- | ment of pending questions. One of the minor American demands, heretofore disregarded—namely, the re- turn of a package of insurance policies seized by the authorities, was complied | with yesterday, while indications point to the Porte being desirous of preventing further friction by settling the other mat- ters, including the rebuilding of the Amer- | Armenia, destroyed at the time of the | Armenian massacre there, and the grant- | ing of permission to Armenian women | and children to join their husbands and fethers who are nautralized Americans, WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—No additional information concerning the relations be- | tween the United States legation and the | Turkish Government has been received at | the State Department. Among other dif- | ficulties .which Minister Leishman has en- ccuntered is in negotiating with respon- sible authority. His intercourse has been with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, with whom he has reached an agreement | on nearly every question at issue. But the Grand Vizier revoked or annuled the action of the Foreign Minister and neg tiations came to naught. Minister Leish- | man is insisting that the person with whom he deals must be responsible, so that agreements reached will be carried into effect.

Bone drank a quantity of the deadly fluid and died a few hours afterward at her home, a_mile northwest of San Pablo, where she resided with her mother and M. Tams, an_uncle. As soon as her condition was discovered Dr. Abbott was summoned from San Pablo, but as soon as he examined the patient the physician could only say that his_services would be fruitless. The circumstances surrounding the death led to a report that Miss Bone had taken the polsonous draught in an ef- | fort to commit suicide, but the young | woman's relatives declare that she took | the drink from Ignorance partly and in | substitution for other beverages.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—What is said to be the biggest round-up of green goods swindlers ever made by the Federal au- thorities in this city was announced to- day. Five men and a woman were taken into custody and an entire green goods plant was captured. Four of the prison- ers, Joseph R. Baker, Elmer Brown, S. Gottlieb and the latter's wife, were ar- rested in Newark and George Brown and Thomas Henry were arrested in this city. According to Postoffice Inspector Mich- ael Boyle, he has secured as complainant against the prisoners Antonlo Caperas, a butcher of New Haven, Conn., who paid $300 in cash and received green paper in return. Many complaints of green' goods victims have reached the postoffice inspec- tors recently and the alleged ‘‘plant” was located in Newark after much work. Yesterday the inspectors saw a man come to the house in the company of Elmer Brown, the alleged ‘‘steerer,” and followed by Baker, who, it is sald, was the “traller.” The pair entered the house and later came out. The victim car- ried a miniature trunk about ten inches long and four inches wide. The ‘steerer” took the victim to an express office, where the little trunk, which the victim thought contained in bllls, printed from stolen Government plates, was shipped to New Haven. Then the inspectors placed the “steerer” and the “trailer” under arrest. The vie- tim said he had pald $300 for the sup- po: the inspectors secured the trunk and showed him that it contained nothing but slips of green paper, cut to the size of bflYs. A few moments after Brown and Baker had been arrested the “plant” was raided and the Gottliebs were taken into custody. In the house all manner of green goods paraphernalia was found, circular letters, a dozen or more of the little trunks and piles of green paper. Henry and Brown ere arrested last night at a ferry. All the prisoners were arraigned to-day and held in $2500 bail each. d money and was thunderstruck when | o6t SCORES THE GOMBINES Financier Declares That Trusts Are a Menace to Prosperity, ——————— L People Oppressed, He Asserts, by the Amalgamated Industries. NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—Russell Sage In an interview to-day referred to a pub- lished statement quoting J. P. Morgan as saying that the era of great trusts had just begun and that more gigantic cor- porations are stored in the near future, some of which may overshadow the steel trust. Sage said: “Whether Morgan sald that or not, combinations of all industries are a menace to true government. Not only so, but they are oppressors of the people.” “What will be the result of such an era?’ asked the reporter. “In such an event the American people will revolt against them and there will be financial ruin, the like of which this country has never seen—or any other.” It was suggested to Sage that there was a general opinion that combinations at certain times were good things for the countr: “Yes,” Sage replied, ,“when several in- dustries are starting out in business it is well for individuals to combine for mu- tual protection until the business is’ firm- ly established. When the business is so established the combination should be disrupted and the business conducted on individual lines. Then if ome individual became embarrassed it would not mean the wrecking of the industry. I believe it is better to have such industries divided among several individuals than combined into one great combination, the embar- rtfassfl-nent of which would mean the ruin of all.” SUPERVISORS CONSIDER ELECTRICAL REGULATIONS Linemen Ask Passage of an Ordi- nance Requiring Safeguards From Live Wires. A The joint committee on Fire and Po- lice of the -Board of Supervisors heard protests yesterday of representatives of the electric lighting companies against the proposed new ordinance providing for the inspection of all electrical work in and around buildings by the Depart- ment of Electricity and imposing fees for such inspection. The principal objection to the ordinance was that it permitted an unlimited num- ber of inspections and the consequent col- lection of large fees. Chiet Hewitt stated that if the first in- spection showed that the National Elec- trical Code had been violated, additional fees were charged for reinspection. At- torney McCutcheon submitted an amend- ment specifically defining that no charge shall be made for a reinspection unless the code is violated and it was taken un- der advisement by the committee. The ordinance submitted by the Broth- erhood of Electrical Linemen and Lamp Trimmers, regulating the maintenance of highly charged electrical wires or cables upon poles in order to lessen the danger to human life, was also dismissed. Sev- eral workmen were questioned regarding their opinions of the necessity of the reg- ulations. A. M. Hunt of the Independent Light and Power Company said that the Tequirements of the ordinance would im- pose a hardship on electrical companies and would necessitate the erection of higher poles or more of them. Labor Commissioner F. V. Myers said the or- dinance, if adopted, would minimize the danger of accidents. The committee post~ poned action until September 18, 1902. —_———————— PRESS CLUB NAMES ITS CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE Elmore Leffingwell Will Have No Opposition in Race for the Presidency.
