Becker, ettt Much interest is being exhibited members of the local labor unions in the probabie outcome of the meeting of the executive commitiee of the Carmen's Union to be held tq-night. hour yesterday it was generally der- stood that no business of importance would be transacted at to-night's meet- ing, but the fact that the members of the committee have received information that the officials of the United Rallroads, after. a week's o union, have decided to deny them, is expected to develop a lively discussion among the employes. While the president and manager of the rallway company emphatically declare that they have not authorized any state- ment concerning their deliberations over the existing troubles they refuse to deny the truth of the stories that have got | abroad and the carmen have reason to suspect that these reports emanated from some one closely connected with the ex- ecutive department of the roads. Consequently the members of the exec- utive body of the union féel that it is thelr privilege to accept the reports as in- [ dicating the purposes of Manager Chap- man and are anticipating as far as pos- sible the formal action of the latter on Monday next, the agreed time when the company is to make reply to the carmen’s demands. All the omc* of the United Railroads disclaim any reSponsibility for the reports that have gone out of what the supposed determination of their company is, and in order to learn where the leak exists | President Holland held an inquiry in his | office yesterday, but without satisfactory results. According to statements, which are ac- credited to company sources, the manage- ment of the United Railroads has figured that the granting of the demands of its employes will result in an increase of the operating expenses of the road of nearly 33 per cent, and that any such an advance will not be tolerated by the stock- bolders of the concern. It is reported that the reply of Manager Chapman will be a refusal of the demands in their en- tirety, based on this alleged unreasonable proposition. The officials of the road are still hold- ing daily sessions for the purpose of dis- cussing the long list of demands made by the employes, and it is said that it will take the attorney and manager of the roads fully twe days to prepare a full explanatory reply of the refusal to make the concessions asked. Murder Suspect Is Released. BAKERSFIELD, March 27.—Arthur J.

Trefts and 'ward J. Reilly, are well known in interscholastic debates, as they héve won for themselves distinction not only for their good address and delivery, but also for argumentation and refutation. Beck- er promises to be a valuable addition to the team.

IS Aol An investigation was held yesterday by “aptains O, F. Bolles and John K. Bul- ger, United States inspectors of steam [ vessels, into the collision that took place on March 23, between the freight steam- ers ansit and Thoroughfare. Both steamers were making for the Second- street slip at the same time and were jammed together into the slip. Captain William N..Brisco was in command of the Thoroughfare and Captain. J. C. Brown of the Transit | Captain Brisco told the inspectors that | the Transit had a load of freight and the Thoroughfare had nothing on board but a crew, which was to go off watch when landed, their place to be taken by a re lief crew. He said that when the Transit was an unusual distance from the siip she blew a whistle “for the slip,” follow- ing that with two blasts which the wit- ness did not answer, knowing that he had the right of way. The witness admitted that he did not “cross signal” the Tran- sit, because he did not wish to confuse her captain. He expected that the Tran- sit would stop and allow him to get into | the slip, as had been the custom when | one of :the steamers was about to take | on a relief crew. When near the corner of the Mail dock Captain Brisco saw the | Transit still coming on, and he stopped, | backed his engines and blew the alarm | whistle, but it was too late. Both boats | came together in the slip, damaging the | Transit's wheel and carrying away the | port forward bulwarks and stanchions of | the Thoroughfare. | Captain Brown's testimony ‘was. that he had a load of livestock on board, ana when nearing the slip he gave a long blast of the whistle for the slip as usual. Seeing the Thoroughfare coming along the city front he gave two blasts of the whistle to let her know that the Transit was’ going to port for the slip, which | signal was not answered immediately. | Then he gave two more blasts of the whistle, which were answered. Then he gave the danger signal, which the Thor- oughfare answered, but still kept coming forward, whereupon the witness stopped and backed the Transit, and the collision took place. Edmund McComb, chief engineer of the Thoroughfare, said that the boat was going at full speed until the captain gave the signal to stop and back., The engines had made only one revolution when the boats strucl. Humphrey Hughes, chier engineer of the Transit, said that the en- gine on that vessel made but half a turn on the reverge when the collision oc- curred. In answer to a question by Inspector Bulger, Engineer McComb testified that if the Transit had landed first in the slip, the Thoroughfare would have had to wait from half an hour to two hours in the stream. The case was taken under advisement. DISLIKES WIFE'S -~ LOVE OF NOVELS JacobsenSaysSheReads in Bed and Neglects Her Child. Charges Cruelty in Answer to Spouse’s Suit for Divorce. In an answer and cross-complaint filed | vesterday to.the suit for divorce on the | ground of cruelty brought against him | by his wife, Adna F. Jacobsen, Henry P. Jacobsen denies that he has ever treated his wife cruelly. He says there {8 no truth in the charge she makes against him that he stole sheet music from her | sister or that he ever beat her, and in | his cross-complaint alleges that she is the cruel one. He charges that he was caused a great deal of misery a short time ago because his wife failed to prepare dinner for him- self and a friend, whom he had Invited | to dine with him and then went about | the nelghborhood boasting of the clever | trick she had played upon him. He alleges | further that his wife is so fond of read- ! ing novels in bed that she neglects thelr | child. As another reason why he should | be granted a divorce instead of his wife, i Jacobsen alleges that on one occasion, when they were attending a plcnic in Niles Canyon, she gave him the baby to mind “for a few moments” and left him ‘nursing his offspring until almost train time. Whether Minnie Morse, by her actions, drove her husband from home, or he de- serted her is the point at issue in the di- | vorce proceedings instituted by Mrs. | Morse, and now on trial in Judge Sea. | well's court. A number of witnesses were sworn and examined yesterday, but they did not give sufficient evidence to enable the Judge to decide, so he put the case ver until Monday. aries E. Morse, the defendant in the suit, is an engineer on the steamer China. He was married to the plaintiff at Oak. land in July, 181. They have two chi: dren. According to Mrs. Morse her hus- | band deserted and abandoned her in Jan uary, 1901. This Morse denies, and In a cress-complaint, filed with his answer, | accuses his wife of being so intemperate | that he was compelled to leave her. The suit for divorce of Harrlet Craig against George Cralg was heard by Judge | Hunt yesterday, Superior Judge Nichois | of Tuolumne County sitting with him on | Ahe bench. Mrs. Craig wants a divorce on the ground of cruelty, alleging that | her husband cruelly beat her and once attacked her with a knife. Cralg is not opposed to his wife getting a divorce, but does object to resting under the charge of wife-beating, and is_therefore bitteriy | contesting the suit. He is the fourth | spouse of the plaintiff, his successors be- ing named Winterohle, Tore and Bundy. The case was put over until next week. | Judge Troutt made an order yesterday | directing Hugo Guffenberg, who was re- cently arrested on complaint of his wite, Eunice, on a charge of failing to pro- vide for her, to pay Mrs. Guffenberg :zni a month alimony during the pendency of | the divorce suit she brought against him, Guffenberg must also pay his wife $100 to defray the costs of her suit. | Divorces were granted yvesterday to Jo- | seph L. Russell from Annie E. Russell | for desertion, Ella Birmingham from David W. Birmingham for neglect, ana | Mary A. Heaney from John J. Heaney | for neglect. Suits for divorce were filed by R. B. Crane against Wendeli Crane fot neglect, | Maggie Corscilla against Stephen Corscll- la for desertion, Ida Lyons against Ben- jamin Lyons for desertion. STOKES IS UNDER ARREST FOR BOONVILLE MURDERS Authorities Believe There Is Suffi- cient Evidence Against Him to Warrant His Detention. UKTAH, March 27.—Deputy Sheriff Roy Cooper arrived here this evening with | James Stokes, under arrest charged with | the murder of his brother, Robert Stokes, | and Stokes' wife near Boonville last| Mcenday morning. Sheriff Smith and Dis- trict Attorney Duncan made a careful in- vestigation yesterday and this morning and finally decided to arrest Stokes, as | many circumstances pointed to his guilt. | | Stokes is an Englishman, of low stature, | bronzed by outdoor life and full-bearded. He appears to be steady of nerve and. in- quired for an attorney immfediately upon | hic arrival. He is now in the County Jail. R | Secretary Moody at Kingston.

For many years past the usual treat- ment for catarrh diseases was with local douches, sprays, inhalers and liquid med- icines composed principally of aleohol, all of which never cured but simply gave the temporary relief and stimulation. A thorough cure can be made only by the treatment which removes the ca- tarrhal poisons from the blood. A new remedy which meets the require- ments and which so far has been remark- ably successful in curing catarrh is Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membrane only. | They can hardly be classed as a secret | patent medicine, as they are composed of such valuable remedies as blood root, Hydrastin, red gum of Eucalyptus tree and similar antiseptics combined in tab- let form, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous membrane the pols- ons of catarrh, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, to be taken in- ternally, allowing them to dissolve in the mouth, thus reaching the throat, trachea and finally the stomach. If desired, they may also be dissolved in water and used as a douche in addi- tion to the internal use, but it is not at all necessary to use a douche; a few of them disolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient. However, when there is much stoppage of the nose a douche made from these tablets will give immediate relief,"but the regular daily use inter- nally will cure the whole catarrhal trou- ble without resorting to the inconven- ience of a douche. Dr. Bennett stated “‘that the internal treatment of catarrh by means of pleas- ant medicated tablets is rapidly taking | rew the place of douches and local applica- tions,” and further says that “probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market is the Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, as no secret is made of their composition, and all the really ef- ficlent catarrh remedles are concentrated in this tablet.” Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents for full-sized package, and he will tell you there is no safer, more, pai- atable, efficient and convenient catarrh cure known to the trade. 11 * ADVERTISZMENTS. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN. 1l 21t Db Iy 4 Confidential This is a very important consideration in a woman’s correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. Tt is & reat satisfaction to feel that one woman can write to another telling her the most privite and confidential details about her illness, and know that her letter will be seen by a woman only, — a woman full of sympathy for her sick sisters, and with a knowledge of woman’s ills greater than that possessed by any other person. Mrs. Pinkham never ylolates the confidence thus entrusted to her, and although she publishes thousands ef testimonials from women who have been benefited by her advice and medicine, never in all her experience has she published such a letter without the full consent, and often by special request of the writer. The reason Mrs, Pinkbam is so amply qualified to give advice in cases of female ills is for the reasom that over one hundred thousand cases come hefore her each year,—gome personally, others by mail, and this has been going on for twenty years, day after day,and day after day. Twenty years of constant success, —think of the knowledge thus gained. Surely, women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experience, especially when it is absolutely free. As an fllustration of the good coming from such advice we herewith g;)rtmlt of Miss Hattie DeGroat, the reading of which should give every sic ublish two letters and woman confiderce in .

BRAVE FIREMAN B GLOSE CALL Battalion Chief John Wills had a nar- from death yesterday after- noon during the progress of a fire in the Commercial block, 123 California street. But for his athletic tralning he would escape kave fallen fifty feet. He attempted to cross a light well and the glass gave way | beneath his weight and he plunged through it. As he fell he threw out his right hand and grasped the side of the well and was pulled out of danger by hiz men. Wills suffered a bad cut of the right hand from broken glass and he bled profusely. He is one of the heroes of the Fire Department, having been awarded the Scannell medal for bravery during a fire caused by the collapse of a building on Fifth street and Mint avenue some vears ago. The fire started in the office of John D. Baumann & Co., located on the top ficor of the Commercial block. It is stated that the hemp samples became ig- nited through the carelessness of J. R. Velasqueso, an employe of the firm. The latter was smoking a cigarette and a spark flew among the combustible sam- ples which hung on the wall, and In an instant everything was ablaze. The ele- vator boys heard the cries of fire and spread the alarm. lsidore Ja8obs of the California Cannery Company was on the ground floor and turned in an alarm from the auxillary box. The department was quick in responding. Chief Sullivan saw the danger of a big conflagration and he promptly sent in a second alarm. The firemen had a difficult time in fight- ing the blaze. Two stories have been re- cently added to the building and the up- per walls were highly inflammable. There were plenty of openings and the fire was —_—_ ANOYHER SWELL DOG SUPPLEMENT “A PROUD MOMENT,” Companion piece to “Retriev- ing,” will be issued as an art supplement by The Sunday Call during the latter part of April.

L — SPECIAL TRAIN FOR | CHINESE MINISTER Sir Chentung and Party Scheduled to Leave for City of Wash- ington Monday. The new Chinese Minister and the mem- bers of his suite were given very little op- portunity to see the sights of San Fran- cisco yesterday, for the greater part of their time was devoted to receiving rep- resentatives of the local Chinese societies, consular officlals and agents of the South- ern Pacific, who will undertake to trans- port the entire party comfortably over the country to Washington. Arrangements were made yesterday aft. ernoon for the departure of the Ministér for the United States capital on Monday. He and his party will be provided with a special train and dining car which will g0 direct to its destination, leaving here about noon. To-day the Chinese Minister and his suite will be driven about the city in car- riages and will be taken through Golden Gate Park to the ocean beach, where a luncheon will await them. —————— Kohlberg, Strauss & Frohman Reor- ganize—M. S. Kohlberg Retires. A brief statement in the papers a few days ago to the effect that M. 8, Kohlberg of Kohlberg, Strauss & +Frohman b sold out to Messrs, Strauss and Frohman his itire in- terest in that concern’ caused a considerable flurry- among business circles. The dissolution of partnership will inaugu- rate a sale in order to raise money at omce which will be of interest to the women of this city. Immense reductions will be made in every department. Thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise have been re-marked at lower figures and the result should be a very crowded store for several weeks to come. The fact that this sale has been inaugurated right at the beginning of the spring season is sufficient evidence that all goods sold will be strictly up to date and In the very newest of the spring styles, No old merchandise of any kind remains on the shelves, comsequently it will be an op- portunity to get the most desirable goods at lowest bargain pric ts of alr. The samples of flax, manila hemp. and other imported stuff in the office of Baumann & Co. burned briskly. A heavy smoke filled the halls of the big building and the firemen had to crawl through the halls in order to reach the blaze. The water tower was used to advantage. California street was crowded with people who watched the de- partment at work. The building is owned by Mrs. Board- mwan and Mrs. Tompkins. Boardman Bros., agents of the building, place the damage at 310,000 and say the insurance fully covers the loss. The building is used for offices and is occupled by mercantile firms. Those who occupled rooms on the top floor suffered from smoke and water. Baumann & Co. suffered a heavy loss. Their office was gutted by fire. Russell & Searle, mant- facturing agents, suffered from smoke and water, did also James Stetson, F. F. Burrows, the American Beet Sugar Com- pany, Bett & Center, H. R. Lipman, the Eisen Vineyard Company and others. The elevator boys pluckily stayed by their posts and aided the occupants to escape. Both lads were drenched with water, but they declined to leave until the hour of closing the building. D 15 SOUGHT - FAOM 1L MEN The oil producers of California are te be called upon to assist the State Mining Bureau to make an analysis of the olls of the State, to show gravity, flash and fire tests, viscosity, fractional distillation, sulphur and caloric values and also the uses to which California petroleum is de~ voted in this State. Mineralogist Aubury, is to publish a bulletin upon the oil in- Gustry of California as soon as he can secure oil samples and the necessary facts. Yesterday he sent out a circular | letter to all ofl producers, In which sam- ples and particulars are sought. Cone cerning this move State Mineralogist Au- bury said: Since the large increase in the consumption of ofls in California. and the varied uses found for them, it has become a necessity to give the public some information on their properties. The data comcerning California oils is very meager, and is confined to a few fractional distillations and heat values, with now and then a determination of sulphur or nitroger. Indeed, such is the state of alrs that a prac- tical ‘wishing to pipe oil from his well to the coast cannot tell what size pipe to use or M.I'Mwl.no' ‘whether his oll can be con- veyed ol at all. A coul_gas ‘manufacturer wish to buy oll suitable for his purpose in enriching fllum- inating gas cannot choose one suitable becauss he does not kmow which oifl or what district contains the least sulphur, and he does not know the approximate composition of the same. Many more examples might be cited of the great inconvenience to all concerned on ac- count of lack of data on the product of our State that is rapidly becoming very important. The State Mining Bureau will determine the properties and make those analyses which have & distinetly practical value if the necessary information and samples of ofl e furnished by the oil producers. The percentage of nitro- gen will not be determined or the combustion made, not that it would be uninteresting to know them, for they are of great scientific value, but it s seldom that the average man who is interested in ofl would require them in bis calculations. It is understood that it is in contempla- tion to erect a memorial to the 6000 colo~ nists who lost their lives in South Africa. ADVERTISEMENTS.
