The police telephone system re- celved its share of the “julce” and a large | number of the boxes are out of order, ne- cessitating the usre of the public telephone service by the officers. City Electrician Babcock spent the day trying to locate the source of the trouble. He has not yet been able to make an esti mate of the damage, but it will probably amount to more than $3000, as it will be ary to install an entirely new set of fuse boxes, as well as to repair the damage done to the relays, gongs and ca- bles.

Leopold Juzix, a stevedore employed in unloading the steamer Uarda, lying at Broadway pier No. 2, was struck and in- stantly killed vesterday afternoon by a falling iron hatch beam, weighing about 700 pounds, and J. Green, a fellow laborer, sustained a fractured skull, which may | prove fatal. The accident occurred about 4:30 p. m. as a quantity of saltpeter was being hoisted out of the hold. The two men were working in the hold of the vessel, directly under the middle hatch, and as the load ascended it came in contact with the massive iron beam and dislodged it from the grooves in which it rested. Without warning, the ponderous weight fell into the hold through the open hatch, striking Juzix and breaking his back. Green was struck on the head and mirac- ulously escaped instant death. Willing hands tenderly conveyed the two bleeding forms to the deck, but upon examination Juzix was found to be dead. Green was conveyed to the Central Emergency Hos- pital, where he now lies in a precarious | condition. Juzix was unmarried and resided at 228% Eighth street. An investigation will be necessary to determine the responsi- bility for the dent. —_———— LAUNCHING COMMITTEE HOLDS LARGE MEETING Discusses Ways and Means of Rais- ing Funds to Celebrate Bap- tism of New Cruiser. The California launching committee of the Native Sons of the Golden West held an enthusiastic meeting last night in the library of the association, 414 Mason street. This committee is composed of three members of each San Francisco and bay county parlor and one representative from each interior parlor. The idea of this meeting was to devise ways aud means to defray the expenses attending cruiser California, which event will prob- ably take place early in January. It was decided to use the surplus left on hand from the Admission day cele- bration at San Jose as a nucleus for the fund. This will make a starter of about $1000. Arrangements were perfected to give a minstrel show as one means of raising money. It was decided io give the performances on the evenings of Sep- tember 29 and 30 and October 1 at Native Sons’ Hall. ‘The minstrels will also show two nights in Oakland under the management of Senator Knowland of Alameda. Over seventy members were present. ————— SALVATION ARMY BEGINS WORK AMONG FEUDISTS JACKSON, Ky., Sept. 15.—A corps of Salvation Army workers arrived here to- night and began their crusade among the feudists.

POMONA, Sept. 15.—George Jess died here early this morning at the age of 84 years. He had been ill several weeks and his death was not unexpected. He came to California from Wisconsin in 1850, and was amid all the gold excitement of the early fifties, Then he went into the cattle business in Southern California and herded cattle over land where cities like Pasadena, Redlands and Pomona have since grown up. He was one of the or- ?nlxer- of the First National Bank in omona and after a large and busy life retired in 18%.

Father McSweeney of St. Francis de Sales Parish Speaks at Quarterly Meeting on “Pope and the Cardinals AKLAND, Sept. Father Thom: The Rev. McSweeney, pas- tor of St. Francis de Sales Church of this city, addressed the Men's League at the First Congrega- tional Church, corner of Twelfth anc Clay streets, to-night on the “Pope and the Cardinals in the Vatican, Rome.” The occasion was the regular quarterly meet- ing and banquet of the league. The as- | sembly room was well crowded with an appreciative audience. \ In introducing Father McSweeney, Pres- ident Warren Olney Jr. of the league said that there had always been a feeling f sympathy and respect between the va- rious sects and that Father McSweene: in_ religion. had graclously agreed to come and give them a talk. Father McSweeney in brief said: e I will tell you something of the cardinals and During the second and third cen- in_Rome increased, the Pope. when Christianity parts of the city. ishes and were the dwelling place Christians. There are seventy cardinals in the Roman College and every one bears a title. This title is taken from some original parisn of Rome. Each cardinal descends from soma Darish and is known as the cardinal of that parish. The cardinals are men from all over e earth, men of known worth, of honor, for they gre the men from whom the Pope's suc- cessor is chosen. % The, Pope never leaves the Vatican. You niay ask why. Ever after Victor Emmanuel, with his troops, entered Rome, Pius IX stayed in the Vatican. For twenty-six years Pof Leo XIII. never stepped out the Vatica The Popes do not recognize the presence of the King. They look upon him as a usurper—as being on the throme unjustly, That is why the Pope stays within the walls of the Vatican. He knows that he has a throne in the hearts of his three hundred million people. His word is their law, and they look to him for guldance in their falth and morals. One of the most remarkable men of this age was Pove Leo. He was a wonderful man, a man with a big heart, a remarkable Qisposi- tion. His one desire was that the men of all hations should live in peace, harmony and hap- piness. Our present Pope, Pilus X, is also a grand character and well fitted to rule his vost Teliglous army.

The spectacle of a telephone company lineman going about his everyday work with a serviceable pistol hanging to a| strap beit outside of his garments, in| plain and suggestive view, has aroused | the ire of the telephone company’s strik- | ing linemen. Edward Davis, chairman of the strikers’ , grievance committee, has gone before the | Mayor fo ascertain whether this armed workman is not violating the law touch- | ing the carrying of concealed weapons | when he openly exposes the revolver so conspicuous Investigation diselosed that the employe | about whom the inquiry was directed was W. Oakes, a lineman, who had been ar- | rested two weeks ago and fined after he had drawn a pistol upon a crowd of sixty or seventy men that had gathered in | force at the foot of a telephone pole upon | which he was working. Oakes had been the tarket for a fusillade of rocks and vile epithets. Believing that he had a right to work, he decided to as- | tion from gthe crowd to come down the pole. While he was descending Oakes drew a loaded revolver from his pocket and served hotice that he would kill the first man that molested him. On the ground in the midst of the crowd he| backed himself against a wall and with revolver pointed into the yelling and hoot- | ing gathering sternly held his place. Some of the disturbers found a policeman, who arrested Oakes for carrying a concealed weapon. He was technically guilty and was fined $10.

The only way in which this can be done is for the Supervisors to authorize such ap- | pointments by an affirmative vote of| fourteen members of the board after the Mayor has investigated and recommended the necessity for such appointments. The opinion is the result of the desire of the department named to classify its em- | ployes at increased salaries under the heads of cashier, clerk, stenographer, ete. _———————— Philippine Exhibits Coming.

Adams and Havens Are at Swords’ Points Over Site for Grounds. ki Oakland Office San Francisco Call 1113 Broadway, Sept. 15 Whether the recently organized Clare- mont Country Club, rival in outdoor sports to Burlingame, shall stand by the original plan of establishing itself at Claremont on the lands owned by Edson F. Adams or shift its headquarters to the 100 odd acres northwest of Mountain View Cemetery, known as Rock Ridgs Park and owned by the Realty Syndicate, is the question that has caused a wide rent in the hitherto harmonious prelimi- naries of organization. A The board of directors has called a meeting for Thursday night for considera- | tion of the Realty Syndicate’s proposi- tion, as advanced by Frank C. Havens, manager of that corporation. Meantime the partisans of the original project and the friends of the Adamses on the di- | rectorate and the followers of the Havens- syndicate proposition are lining up for the fray. At this point in the controversy which has apparently taken first place in the club’s affairs neither the Adams nor the Havens factions have determined just what is their strength. These who still favor the Claremont site justify their ar- guments by pointing out its superb nat- ural attractions and its accessibility from street car lines soon to be constructed. They declare that however beautiful Rock Ridge Park might be much of its attractiveness is spoiled because of the proximity of Mountain View and St Mary's cemeteries.
