The order is the inexorable verdict of the faculty affairs committee and settles definitely the cases of the | leaders in the forbidden rush.

Brown case had been postponed several times and conviction was not expected. Tho’ evidence was not as strong as that of- fered in other cases in which defendants were discharged on account of the fail- ure of the jury to agree. The result is probably the beginning of the end of flle- gal pool selling, which has been carried on in Yolo County ever since the gam-, blers were driven out of Sacramento. i gt S s No Hope for Clara Morris.

THE SA VETERANS WOULD PROTECT BASIN Request to Be Detailed as Patrol for Big Tree Park. Old Soldiers Want to Look Out for Vandals and Have a Picnic. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 3. Company A of the Vcteran Reserves, which is classed as an independent com- pany of the National Guard, has a desire to be appointed the protector and guard of the new Redwood Park in the Big Basin, and they have applied to Governor Pardee, both as Governor of the State and as commander in chief of the Na- tional Guard, for that detail. The main idea of the Veteran Reserves in applying for this detail is to guard and protect this beautiful State park, though inci- dentally they want pay from the State for this duty. Captain C. K. King of the Veteran Reserves frankly says that he thinks It would also be a very pleasant picnic for his company. The idea was conceived by Captaln King in imitation of the plan of the Gov- ernment in supplying the Yosemite and Yellowstone National parks, which are guarded by Federal troops. The Big Basin Park being a State park, it would require a guard of State troops, and Cap- tain King and his company of old sol- diers did not know any set of State troops who could or would give the time for such duty save his own organization. So Cap- tain King sat down and wrote to Gov- ernor Pardee, and then he sent a series of communications to those who were inter- ested in the work that resulted in the securing of this park. Up to the present time Captain King's campaign of letter-writing has been fruit- less. Nothing has been heard from Gov- ernor Pardee and nothing has been heard from the others to whom appeal was made. But Captain.King is not discour- aged. He is going to continue his fight for a pienic for his old soldiers on pay. Captain King is very sure that his com- . even though composed of veterans of the great civil strife, could still do patrol duty and even build roads and cut trails with almost the same facility that they did in the days of '61, and this is what he says about it: We have requested the Governor to designate us as a patrol for the Big Basin this summer, i€ a patrol is to be maintained. There are in A many expert woodmen, gardeners around art , who in addition to do- also assist in the work of improving the grove for the beiter conven- e travelers. We have written to_the aissioners of the Big Basin and to Mrs. ident of sempervirens lub, soliciting their influence in behalf of the 0id soldiers to be detailed on patrol dut however, we Have received no definite as- t' such a guard is to be appointed. 1% is to be done it will probably be one soon, as the picnic season is fast approach- LUMBER COMPANIES REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE THE UNION Strike That Will Involve Several Hundred Men Is Threatened at San Pedro. SAN PEDRO, April 3—The indications are that fully 600 men in the employ of the whols out on strike. They recently demanded recognition of their union and met with | a refusal. The executive committee then telegraphed to President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, informing him of the stand taken by the companies. Gompers sent a reply that he had tele- graphed Andrew Furuseth of San Fran- ciseo to come here as the representative Sailors’ Union, received a telegram from President Gompers yesterday advising him of the trouble at San Pedro. Gompers instructed Furuseth to investigate the matter. Furuseth thereupon delegated President Macarthur of the City Front Federation to go to San Pedro and try td | straighten out the difficulty. | o ST | PRESIDENT ADMINISTERS REBUKE TO SECRETARY Roosevelt Displeased With Shaw's Conduct of the Affairs of Treas- ury Department. WASHINGTON, April 3.—It was re- ported to-day on good authority that Sec- retary Shaw was severely rebuked by the President on the day the Secretary left on his present trip to Illinois and two days before Roosevelt started on his tour to the Pacific Coast. The rebuke was ad- ministered as a result of’a difference of opinion between the President and Shaw in regard to some of the Secretary’s re- cent acts in the Treasury Department. It has been known for many months by officers of the administration who enjoy close versonal as well as official relations with the President that Roosevelt has heen greatly dissatisfied with Secretary affairs of the Treasury Department. It has been repre- sented to the President that officers and employes of the department, both in Washington and in other citles, are in a state of demoralization. B | CORRAL BOSS IS FOUND MURDERED IN HIS CABIN | Police Believe That Hatred Rather Than Robbery Prompted the Crime. L.O8 ANGELES, April 3.—The dead body of Thomas Cummings, a corral boss em- ployed by Robert Sherer & Co., was found this morning in his cabin at the com- pany's corral on San Pedro street. . Cum- to death. A bloody pickhandle was found under the floor of the cabin, but another and heavier weapon, probably an ax, must have been used by the murderer. The volice incline to the bellef that hatred rather than robbery induced the murder, In Cummings’ room was found a note, the contents of which the police refuse to divulge. It is suspected that there may be a woman in the case, and on this suggestion the authorities are work- ing. Cummings had been in the regular em- ployment of Sherer & Co. for the last ten | years and bore the reputation of being gober, honest and industrious. Husband Crazed With Grief.

Santa Fe Said to Be Trying to Get Possession of Property. \ In the near future this State is likely to have a new industry, which will add materially to its wealth. There is a movement on foot to develof the exten- sive coal fields which exist in Mendocino County and to put California coal on the market. Twenty-four thousand acres of this coal property belong to James L. Tlood and Clarence Mackay, heir of the late Jochn W. Mackay. Since the discov- ery of the coal deposit thirty-five years ago very little has been done to utilize it as fuel, because of the lack of raiiroad facilities. There has been no way by which the coal could be shipped to this city. The extension of the Eel River and Eu- reka Rallway south by the Santa Fé to connect with the California Northwest- ern Rallway will furnish means for trans- porting the coal to this city. The new road will pass within fifteen miles of the coal field, which is located south and east of Covelo. It is proposed to construct a spur track from the main line through the coal property to Covelo. It is reported that the Santa Fe is endeavoring to get possession of the property, but the rep- city would not confirm the report yes- terday. Experts who have examined the coal property in Mendocino County owned by Flood and Mackay state that a daily out- put of at least 1000 tons could be devel- oped. The fields are to be found on both the north and south side of the Middle Tork of the Eel River. Several years ago Flood and John W. Mackay spent consid- erable money in the exploration of the property and the fact was developed by the investigation that the coal was there in &n unlimited quantity. The main vein is about eighteen feet in width. The coal has been subjected to all man- rer of tests and is said to be equal to the ‘Wellington coal. An engine drawing a train of cars and using this coal as a com- parative test with the Wallsend coal from Australia resulted in proving that this coal is equal to the imported coal as a | steam producer. SAN JOSE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL TO BE INSPECTED Governor Pardee Will Visit the In- stitution Before Meeting the Board of Trustees.

The Governor, with the trustees, will inspect the school to-morrow morning and meet the members of the faculty. Just what will be done at the meeting has not de- | veloped, but-ft is bellevel there will be a shaking up of the institution. pected to be present at the meefing. Trustees Addison and Dow, who were re- cently appointed, will take their seats. The other trustees are Frank H. Short of | Fresno, F. J. Leavitt of Oakland and F. | C. Jacobs of this city.

He takes Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the|exceptions to the reports that have been circulated about the school and says he | 1s going to explain his actions as a trus- tee. Former Governor Gage renamed Brown, but In doing so made the mistake of appointing him to the Chico Normal | School. Governor Pardee later withdrew the nomination. The matter of the janitorship will come up. Paul Arnerich, the janitor, has been subletting the work and has resided on his farm at Guadaloupe. $150 per month. He does r.0 work himself but hires three assistants ald pays them $110. The other $40 Arnerich pockets. Miss Mary Pierce, who resigned from the kindergarten department on March 1, will appear before the board and ask that her resignation be reconsidered. She claims that she was forced to resign and that President Dailey and other members of the faculty made life in the school un- pleasant for her. Dailey and the trustees declare that Miss Pierce was incompetent. Henry Miller will also attempt to get his case before the board. He wants a diplo- ment at the hands of the faculty. The faculty refused him a diploma, declaring he was mentally incompetent to teach. Rumor has it that Governor Pardee may ask Trustee Jacobs for his resigna- tion and insist on the trustees dropping Mrz. Blanche Sherwood, the assistant librarian of the school, from the payroll. Jacobs was sued for divorce by his wife recently. Mrs. Sherwooa is accused of wrecking the Jacobs home. Governor Pardee enjoyed a ride through the valley this afternoon. While here he will be the guest of Dr. I. A. Frazier, at 30 South Tenth street. He and Super- intendent of Schools Kirk will go south from here to inspect the schools at Los Angeles and San Diego. The Governor gays he intends to become acquainted with the institutions, and then may make some suggestions in regard to their con- duct. A number of prominent business men called on the Governor this evening and enjoyed a pleasant chat. Midway Battle Cases Are Dismissed.

FLYING BULLETS F. Howard Fires Two Shots at Special Policeman. William F. Brennan, a.By- stander, Wounded in the Left Hand. Frank Howard and Dennis Doyle went into the rooms of the Seattle Social Club {in the Baldwin Annex between 5 and 4, | o'clock yesterday morning and at once | commenced to raise a disturbance. Spe- cial Officer Shea endeavored to get them to leave, but they refused, and Howard pulled a revolver out of his pocket and fired two shots at Shea. Both bullets missed Shea, but one of them struck Wil- liam F. Brennan on the left hand. Howard and Doyle fled and Shea fired a shot at Howard as he disappeared. Howard ran up Ellis street to Powell.‘ where he collided with a large stone on the corner, and before he recovered him- | selt_he was arrested by Policemen D. M. Murphy and P. M. Kissane. He had | a revolver concealed in the inside pocket | of his coat and two of the chambers were | empty. He was booked at the City Prison | on & charge of assault to murder. On | the way to the City Prison with Howard the officers saw Doyle on Kearny street and arrested him, placing him in the “‘tanks,” where he will be detained as a | witness. Brennan was taken to the Central Emer- | gency Hospital in the patrol wagon by { Policeman P. C. Smith and Dr. W. P. Harvey extracted the bullet from his left hand and dressed the wound. The bullet | was booked as evidence against Howard, who was instructed and arraigned before Police Judge Mug%n yesterday and the case continued till April 6. Doyle is merely a hanger-on around the | tenderloin district, but Howard is looked upon by the police as a desperate char- | acter. He was arrested December 4 along | with Lester Watson for exhibiting a dead- ly weapon in a rude and threatening man- | ner in a lodging-house on Market street and was sentenced to serve 100 days i the County Jail, Watson receiving a ilar sentence. Howard and Watson were | suspected of being two young men who held up several Chinese in the neighbor- | hood of Pine and Powell streets some | months ago, but sufficient evidence could | not be procured to justify a charge being booked against them. | The police say that the other two men | waited outside the clubrooms while How- | { ard and Doyle went inside and hurriedly i | left when the shooting commenced. It is | | suspected that’ there was a plot to hold | ! up the club, but it failed owing to Shea's | | presence. Qne of the two men who were outside is believed by the police to have | been Watson, as he and Howard have | Leen together fer two or three years.

CLAIM THEY SAW BULGARIANS IN SOCIAL GLUB SCHORT KILLED Police Find Two Eye- Witnesses to the Shooting. e I s Joseph Majetti to Be Charged With the Crime of Murder. Detectives O'Dea and Mulcahey, ‘who have been working on the case of Hd- ward W.
