Notify Organizations They Represent of Their De- termination. —— ‘Within the past few days three promi- nent members of the California Promotion Committee have tendered their resigna- tions to the associations that appointed them to serve on the committee. These are W. H. Mills and Arthur R. Briggs, who were appointed by the State Board of Trade, and Charles Bundschu, Who represented the Merchants’ Association in the promotion committee. Mr. Mills sald that the reason for his with- drawal was personal. Mr. Bundschu admitted that friction had something to do with his resignation, but that pressing business of his own was more of a factor. The finance committee of thé promotion committee consisted of three members. Two of the members were Bundschu, who was the chairman, and Briggs. For some time it has been noised about that in the promotion committee. Recently the situation within the offices became Rufus P. Jennings, the executive officer, and Mr. Hess, the secre- tary, had words.

Mr. Bundschu had communicated with Mr. Hess, who is the secretary of | the committeé. Mr. Jennings considered | that Mr. Bundschu should have brought the matter to him first as the executive | officer. Mr. Bundschu resented any dic- tation. His resignation is in the hands of President Symmes of the Merchants’ As- | soclation. ~He has served seventeen | months gratuitously. | Quite recently the finance committee a report made concerning the. expendi- tures of the moneys that had been re- ceived. Mr. Bundschu declares that no irregularities were discovered. The epi- | sode occasioned interest on the part of | the members of the executive committee, who have the general supervision of af- fairs. Some criticism has been made by mem- bers of the committee concerning the use to which the money contributed | by merchants has been devoted. The fixed monthly expense of maintaining the headquarters on New Montgomery street is stated to be about $1300. The rent takes up $150 of this and postage and current expenses $450 more. The remainder of the $1300 1s reported to be expended for | salaries, which amounts to about $700 per month in round figures. The committee printed the speeches of President Roosevelt in California at a cost of about $000. It has also issued publications costing various sums. Some | of the books have been sold and some re- i main on hand. The sum of something like $7000 was expended for advertising California in Eastern publications. Such publication has been discontinued for Several thousand dollars | to organizations representing the interior counties of the State to help them in making their resources known to the world. No appointments have yet been made by the State Board of Trade or the Mer- chants’ Assoclation to fill the vacancies occasioned by the resignations of.

BICHAAS BEATS - HIS OPPONENTS Obtains Decision in the Federal Court of Appeals. e D The decision of the United States Cir- cuit Court of Appeals in the case of the { United States vs. Frank H. Richards, United States Marshal, closes one of the most stubborn and bitter cases for the | removal of a public officer that ever has been waged in.the United States courts. Richards as ;Marshal of the Nome Dis- trict, Alaska, incurred the enmity of some of -the large mining corporations and,- it is alleged by him, they conspired together to effect his removal. He was arrested upon’ a .charge of packing a jury in an important criminal case in Alaska, tried and found guilty. His opponents sent a certified copy of the record containing over a ghousand pages of typewritten matter to the-Department of Justice and demanded hi# removal. In the meantime Richards was not idle. His ‘counsel, Bert Schlesinger, prosecuted an appeal from the Alaska court to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in this city. The case was argued in July, and yesterday the court sustained the ap- peal and reversed judgment upon the ground of the insufficiency, of evidence. Only last week Richards recelved a fa- vorable decision from the Department of Justice at Washington, the Attorney Gen- eral declining to remove him. Richards having been successful now threatens to sue two leading mining companies for damages for conspi: . ——————— . Californians in New York.

The theme of the Rabbi was “The Story of a Psalm.” He spoke feelingly and eloquently. He held his listeners for over an hour with his eloquent discourse and made many allu- slons to the work of the Jewlish race for centuries past. AT TEMPLE EMANU-EL. A feature of the services at the Temple Emanu-El was the beautiful music ren: dered by the choir. Ferdinand Stark, the well known conductor, had charge of the music. Many new-voices were added to the regular choir and the music rendered was as fine as has been neard in any church throughout the city for a long | time. Rabbi Myers, tHe pastor of the Bush street synagogue, occupied the pulplt at the services yesterday morning. The large edifice was' crowded to the doors by a'vast army of worshipers who had come from all parts of the. city to at- tend the services. Rabbi Myers' text was *The Grand Army.” " His sermon was-a most {nstruc- tive one and he spoke at length on the feast that'was at present being celebrated and .paid high tribute to the character of the Jewish race. The choir renderad special music. BOYS’ CHOIR SINGS. At the services at the Bush street tem- ple this morning Rabbi Myers will preach on “The Shofar.” There will also be some fine music by the synagogue’s choir. The services at the Geary street temple were also of a very impressive character. At the morning services the sermon was preached by Rabbi Levy. The large syn- agogue was crowded. As in the other places of worship the music was one of the most noteworthy features. Rabbj Nieto occupled the pulpit at the Taylor street synagogue during the morn- ing services yesterday. His sermon was an interesting one and was listened to by a large assemblage. Rabbi Israel preached at the new syn- agogue before a large congregation. A pretty feature of the services was the singing of the boys' choir under the di- rection of Mr. Samuelson. It rendered many sweet sacred hymns. —_————— Boys Injured by Vehicles. John J. Clancy, the three year old son of John J. Clancy, a driver for a transfer company, who resides at 11 Shipley street, had the right side of his skull badly frac- tured yesterday by the rear wheel of a four-horse truck running over him at the crossing of Fourth and Folsom streets. The team belongs to the Rode Draying Company and was driven by David Meyers, who was arrested and charged with battery. The little boy was about to steal a ride on the truck when he slipped and fell. The injury may not prove fatal. B. Marks, a lad who re- sides at 116 Fulton street, was knocked down by a baker's wagon at Van Ness and Ash avenues, receiving several slight ‘wounds on the head and body.

Secret Service Agent Wori:s Quietly and Causes Feel- ing of Uncertainty. G That a ring exists for the illegal land- ing of Chinese is the theory on which Secret Service Agent Willlam J. Burns is working and the possibility of arrests of Federal officials and others in connec- tion with the recent expose of substitu- tion of Chinese ordered deported Is ex- pected to take place at any time. Those who are conversant with the methods employed by the Chinese to se- cure the illegal landing of their country- men ridicule the statements that only four white men were implicated in the sub- stitution of Chinese ordered deported, the expose of which led to the arrest of Deputy Sheriffs Burnett, Dasha and Dempsey and the suicide of Deputy United States Marshal William P. Gam- ble. An air of mystery pervaded the Federal building yesterday and neither United States District Attorney Woodworth nor United States Marshal Shine was willing to vouchsafe any information. The two officials contended that all the white men implicated in the fraud had been discov- ered and that it might be possible that some Chinese might be arrested for being implicated in the substitution of old Chinese for young ones. Secret Service Agent Burns is not con- sulting Woodworth or Shine as to his next move. - The Government sleuth is quietly going about his work and for that reasen an air of uncertainty exists in the Federal building. APPLICATIONS INCREASE. The records of the United States Dis- trict Court show that there has been a large increase in recent years in the num- ber of applications for writs of habeas | corpus for Chinese denled landing by the Chinese Bureau. Since January 1, 18%0, up to date, the number of applications for writs of habeas corpus amount to 1395. All of these applications were made on the ground that the Chinese denied land- ing were native born Americans. Of the number of cases mentioned and passed upon by the Federal courts 491 were ordered deported and %4 were given per- | mission to land. In 189 there were thirty-five applica-| tions of alleged native horn Americans and three were denied admission to this country. In 1897 thirty-eight native born Ameri- cans sought the rellef of the writ habeas ccrpus and sixteen failed to gain admission to America and were ordered deported. In 1898 the number of Chinese denied landing by the Chinese Bureau and who sought writs of habeas corpus reached the total of 271 and the courts ordered | ninety-five of this number deported. In 1899 the applications for writs of habeas corpus were 136 and of this num- ber sixty-three were remanded for de- portation to China. From January 1, 1900, up to the present time the number of applications of Chinese for writs of habeas corpus amounted to 815, of which number 314 failed to gain admission to this country.

HIGHER GAME SOUGHT. The cunning of the Chinese is well known, but the nvestigating officlals do not think that the plot of substitution was hatched simply by Chinese aided by the three deputy shenffs and the deputy marshal who killed himself. i Higher game is being sought and no steps will be left unturned to implicate all the parties to the crime of fraud and bring them to the bar of justice. A certain coterle of attorneys has waxed rich by handling the cases of the Chinese who, denied ‘landing, seek the Chinese interpreters can be seen con- stantly visiting the offices of these attor- neys, and it would nof be surprising if attorneys who constantly figure as repre- sentatives of Chinese clients. | e known to have | maintained very friendly relations with | Tom Yung, the Chinese arrested in con-| nection with the substitution frauds.

Secret Service Agent Burns is looking closely into the record and habits of some of the deputy.sheriffs who served on the night watch at the County Jail. The accused deputy sheriffs, Bume(t,’ Dasha and Dempsey, acted as the night | watch for two weeks at a time and then would do duty in the daytime. Dempsey. one of the accused deputy | sheriffs, has declared that others were the “real grafters” and that when the time comes he will talk. Dempsey is not doing much talking since Lis :elease on bail and his session before the United States Grand Jury is thought to have resulted in something more than a mere confes- sion of his implica‘icn in the substitution frauds. v Burnett and Dashad“are keeping very quiet and will not iaik about their cose. | 1t is thought In certain circles that the ! accused deputy sheriffs wili assist the au- | therit'es in rourding uy every party to | the frands and :Lerely secure immuanity | | | from yvunisiment. For that reason the Federal officials are loth to discuss the case, fearing that some of those suspgcted of the frauds may make their escape. ————— Japanese Woman Remanded.
