S. Richardson Will Give Evidence in Postal Frauds. D. S. Richardson, superintendent of the San Francisco Postoffice, whose evidence, | given in Washington, D. C., in connection | with the Postal Device and Improve- ment Company, led to the indictment of Postal Inspector James Erwin, is not | likely to return to San Francisco for some time. It can be stated on positive information that Richardson has been directed by the postoffice department to remain in the Eastuntil after the cases of Beavers and Machen, indicted with Erwin, have been set for trial. The cases of Beavers and Machen are on the Federal court calendar in New York City for October 11th and Richard- son’s return to San Francisco is contin- gent upon the disposition made next month of the Beavers and Machen cases, in which Richardson is to be called as a witness for the Government.

" COME T0 BLONS Parks Controversy Geot- ting More Bitter at Kansas City. One Delegate Is Arrested and Fined for Carrying a Revolver. 0 el / . KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 22.—The con- tentions between the rival factlons in the International Association of Bridge and: Iron Workers were given an airing in the Police Court to-day when James Kelly | of New York was fined $15 for carrying a revolver. Kelly, who is one of the active oppo- nents of Sam Parks, the walking cele- | gate, and John Henderson of St. Louls were arrested last night. Both men are delegates to the convention. They were quarreling. Henderson, who is a'power- fuily bulit man, struck Kelly and knocked him down. “I carried the revolver because I has $157 in my pockets,” explained Kelly. * had $187, for one reason, and for another | reason I was afraid of being slugged by | the Parks gang. 1 had good reason to fear that I would be assaulted.” THE EMPORIUM.

Turkey Seems Disposed to Avert War ‘With Bulgaria. LONDON, Sept. 23.—The Balkan situa- tion to-day presents a somewhat puzzling | aspect. Turkey is showing signs of yield- | | ing to the Bulgartan demands, and it is evident from the daily meeting of the Council of Ministers in the Yildiz Kiosk ' that some sort of negotiations are In progress, with the object of avoiding war. According to a dispatch to the Dally Malil from Constantinople, these counsels | concern two possibilities—either to make an arrangement satisfactory to the Mace- | donians or to obtain from the great pow- ers promises of neutrality if it be found impossible to avoid a w Apparently both Turkey and Bulgaria are anxious to repudiate having taken the initiative in the negotiations. 1 The Sofla correspondent of the Daily Telegraph asserts that overtures came from Turkey and were welcomed by the Bulgarfan Minister, on the condition that deeds were substituted for words and that | the cessation of wholesale massacres be- | come an accomplished fact. The cor- respondent adds that a pacific solution, if it comes, will emanate from Constan nople, where the Bulgarian representative is invested with full powers, and the ne- gotiations are said 10 be proceeding satis- | factorily. The same correspondent says that in the meantime devastations by fire and | sword continue and the Bulgarian Gov- ernment has received from trustworthy | sources a grewsome tale of massacre, tortures, indignities and burnings, in many instances the victims being slowly roasted alive. The assertion is made in another Sofia telegram that the Sultan will {ssue an frade on Thursday granting the demand for a mixed commission, but this state- ment is not confirmed and would seem to be negatived by the dispatches from Constantinople. A Monastir correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, writing on September 15, say the Bulgarian list of villages pillaged and burned reaches a total of 104. | According to ‘a dispatch from Odessa, | the whole Russian Black Sea fleet is kept on a war footing In readiness for any eventuality. @ sivimiiieieimieiieirieirieidl i @ cock and the accused man and his at- torney, Samuel Knight, have hoped to be able to secure the presence in court of Richardson, but in this they will be dis- appointed. After the indictment of Erwin, Beavers and Machen in Washington, D. C., was announced, the statement was also made that Richardson was on his way to the Pacific Coast, and his arrival was eagerly awaited, for many reasons. Richardson's friends have claimed that he was in the State of Washington and would arrive in San Francisco at any time, but as the days passed and Richardson did not ap- pear, his continuéd absence caused con- siderable comment. Richardson was the leading spirit of the company that sold its patented mail col- lection boxes to the Government and the fact that his name appears as a witness in the proceedings that led to the indict- ment of Erwin and others, coupled with the latest Information that he will appear at the trial of Beavers and Machen, 1s looked upon as proof that in order to save himself he has consented to tell all he knows in connection with the frauds on coupled with a gentle At LRZPRRRRR RERERRRRERRRERRR ENY RERERR RRRR Y] .81 Ladies’ Sults—Veilings, sicilians, Silk Waists that formerly sold from REERRRNER RRR EERRRR RERRRRRARE RRR 2RIRRR RRRERRRRRRRRRRRR RRR RRRnes RN B! cheviots and fancy mixtures; formerly sold up to £30, for $5 to $15 each, now $3.95, $650 . . . . 39.95 Dress Goods Remarkable— 7weed Suit- ings, granites, plaid mistrals, Panama and canvas switing, black aud white wool plaid, etc., that formerly sold up to $1.50 per yard—during this sale Black Silk Extraordinary— 7%e big store’s Fancy Silk Braids—The kinds used for trimming up-to-date skirts and waists; black, white and all colors; instead of 25¢ per yard, during L e et A e R § [+ Point de Venicc Bands and Medallions—In a great variety of new patterns, worth up to 25¢ per vyt e thigsle’. - 5 - .« . ... 309 Black Mercerized Saleen Limings—36 inches wide, suitable for underskirts as well as linings; in- stead of 25¢c, peryard. . . . ... . .
