At the morning session there was a beated debate over the adoption of the report of the apprenticeship committee. The committee in its report reaffirmed the action of the Kansas City conven- tion, which adopted the following rules regarding apprentices: That the apprentices be governed by a uni- form system, under the control of the national, State and local associations, as follows: Certificates of apprenticeship to be lssued to the local associations, the locals to have en apprenticeship commiitee of three or more members for the purpose of examining all | applicants before apprenticeship. d Applicants for apprenticeship must have the |Rude Implements Evidence | ter caves in Shasta County have met with | very great | The first | ically. according to their strata.

Eulogy for Comrades Who Have Answered Last Call During Year. Lk Slige s b Nine empty chairs, draped in black and wreathed in flower, stood in mute testi- mony before the remaining members of Lincoln Post No. 1, Grand Army of the Republic, last night when they gathered to pay thelr yearly tribute of resoect to those who have been mustered out of life's service. To the many gray heads, bowed in silent prayer before these empty places so shortly filled by old comrades, | there 'came the haunting question—how many empty seats will there be next year, and whose will they be? Fewer each succeeding year are 'the numbers of the veterans who assemble to remember those who have gone before. | With each passing year the roll of the dead increases, the time for the “taps” for those still remaining draws nearer and nedrer. After thes introduction by Post Com- mander T. D. Barnstead and the invoca- tion by Michael Murphy, post chaplain. Comrade Henry C. Dibble read the eulo- gles of the nine members of the post who had passed away during the vear. Mrs. John C.

Lewis and the famous Gettysburg addréss of the martyr Presi- dent was repeated by Comrade J. G Crawford. Miss Hussey and Mrs. R. E.

Attorneys McClellan & McClellan fied Auditor Baehr yesterday that they would sue out a writ of mandate to com- pel him to audit the salary demands of three city employes against whom judg- ments were obtained. Under the new State law the creditors filed transeripts of the judgments with a view to having the Auditor retain the money owing out of the demands. Baehr will refuse to audit demands, and suit will be instituted to determine the validity of the law. @ il el @ bers, was accidentally knocked from a Halght-street car yesterday morning at Market and Beale streets. He broke both bones of his left leg and sustained a few euts about the head. James Smith, brother-in-law of Michael Ca of the Board of Public Works, was the Inno- cent cause of Vogelsang's accident and was himself considerably shaken in the collision. Neither man knew what struck him until they were introduced, an hour or o later, at the Harbor Hospital, whither both had repaired for repairs. Vogelsang, on board the dummy of the car, was hanging to a stanchion and waving a “hurry-up” signal to some com- panion plumbers. As Vogelsang waved Smith stepped off a passing car, struck the plumber and both men rolled to the ground. Vogelsang's friends picked him up and took him to the hospital, where the injured man explained to Dr. Millar that a car had hit him. The doctors had hardly finished with Vogelsang when Smith came in. He was bieeding from the ears and informed Dr. Millar that somcbody had knocked him down with a plank as he jumped from a car.
