The member- ship is already large, and it is expected to make it include the greater part of the women cf this district. The women of Richmond began to feel, as the town grew and prospered, that they were a factor in {its development, and some weeks ago the first meetings were held to organize an association that would not alone aid In the development of the individuals but of the town. Other cities have organizations of women who work for the advancement of the cities they represent and Richmond felt that they could do as wi The result was the organization of the Woman's Club of Richmond. Several preliminary meet- ings have been held and the following officers have been elected to serve through the first vear of the existence of the new | organization: i i OFFICERS OF THE NEWLY ORGANIZED WOMEN'S CLUB OF RICH- MOND THAT IS DESIGNED TO TAKE AN ACTIVE INTEREST IN THE BEAUTIFICATION OF THE CITY. - oy President, Mrs. W. B. Trull; vice presi- | dent, Mrs. George le Compte; secretary, Mrs. Belle Sweesy; treasurer, Mrs. N. J. Pritchard. The plans of the organization include, first, the adyancement.and development of the members of the organization-along artistic and liferary lines, and second, the advancement of the city that the club represents. The club proposes to hold a meeting each week, when a ‘trip will | be made in some direction for study. To- day several dozen members of the or- ganization visited San Francisto, where they paid a visit to the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art and later to the Golden Gate Park Museum. A number of similar trips are In preparation. 3 The objects of the club are not alone social and educational, though the gather- ings will usually be along these lines. It is proposed that should Richmond become an incorporated city the women of the Richmond Club will follow the example that is being set in Oakland and take an interest in the material advancement and beautification of the city. SANTA FE OFFICIALS ARRIVE FROM SOUTH President Ripley and Party on a Tour of ‘Inspection Over Company’s Lines. E. P.

B. | Burns, chief engineer of the Pacific sys- tem, and J. C. Peasley of Chicago, who is the personal guest of the president, ar- rived from the south yesterday and reg- istered at the Palace. Mr. Ripley is mak- ing his regular semi-annual inspection | tour over the company’'s lines and will remain here until next Tuesday and in- spect the company's interests around the bay.* With his party President Ripley has just completed an extended trip through Texas and Arizona, where he made a careful survey of different territories through which the company is contem- plating the construction of branch lines, Among the plans which the company has under consideration is the building of a branch road from Mesa City to Goldfield, in Arizona, a distance of about twenty miles, and the extension of its main line from some point in New Mexico through Gila and Salt River Valley and Phoenix, thence in a northwesterly direction to the Colorado River and thence south to Nee- dles. This new line, it is figured, will overcome the present heavy grades on that portion of the system extending through the northern part of Arizona. It is not llkely, however, as was ex- plained by one of the officials of the road last evening, that this work will be un. dertaken for a year or so, for the com- pany, like other roads throughout the country, is planning economy, and while not retrenching on as great a scale as the Southern Pacific, is not preparing for large expenditures of money for improve- ments in the near future.

The d@etectives who arrested George O'Neil, an ex-convict, at Clay and Oc- tavia streets on Thursday night on sus- picion of being the porch climber who has operated in a number of residences in the Western Addition were working all day yesterday in an effort to fasten some of the Lurglaries upon him.

F." engraved upon them, and a gold collar button with a cross in black on top, were found in his pockets. An owner is wdhted for them, as they are supposed to have been stolen.

On December 22, 1897, he was sentenced to serve five years in Fbl- som penitentiary for an unnatural offense. His brother, Thomas, who died on June 16, 1902, while awaiting trial on a charge of burglary, was known as a porch climber, and was captured in 18% by De- téctive Cody and Policeman George Gra- ham while climbing down the pillar of a porch at 2224 California street.

E. F. Mattison, the Alleged Criminal, Now Under Arrest. e g The Canadian Bank of Commerce began suits yesterday against the different banks which had accepted checks alleged and which checks had been subsequently sent to the plaintiff institution, as banker of the Continental Bullding and Loan As- sociation, and honored by it. The checks in question were issued by’ the Continental Building and Loan Asso- clation and sent to their agent, E. F. Mattison, in Los Angeles, to be delivered to different clients. Instead of passing the ¢hecks to.the parties for which they were intended, Mattison, it is alleged, forged the names of the different clients, cashed the checks at the defendant banks, pocketed the money and then boarding one of the Kosmos liners, skipped away to Germany. The foliowing banks are defendants in the suits: Wells, Fargo & Co., $10,516 89; American National Bank, $13.353 80; Neva- da National Bank, $27608 9%, and San Francisco National Barik, $20,680 21. Mattison was caught in Germany .and now, under extradition papers, is being returned -to the scene of his alleged rong-doings. The case, when it comes o trial, will undoubtedly develop a great deal of public interest and will be fought bitterly on both sides. Bmith & Pringle and Gavin McNab are attorneys for the plaintiff. @ ittt @ NEW OBSTAGLE FOR GHAMBERLAIN Lord Goschen Opposes the Retaliatory Tariff.

TACOMA, Nov. 6.--According to news re- | ceived from Port Simpson, several Grand | Trunk Pacific. survey parties are working around Port Simpson, not ounly ashore but in the passages leading to the port. These waters were examined with a view | to ascertain the most feasible and con-| venient route to the ocean m preparation | for the Grand Trunk's Trans-Pacific traf- fic. The surveyor assigned to this im-| portant duty returned on the Tees, and from parties who arrived by that ship it is learned that his decision rests in favor of Browns Passage. This is the water to the south of South Dundas Island, and | in a latitude probably twenty-five miles south of Port Simpson itself. Vessels using this passage can either come in from sea by way of Queen Charlotte Sound and Hecate Strait or to the north of that group by the way of Dixon en- trance. The latter is the most direct route to the sea, and one, therefore, which will most likely be the course taken | by all Trans-Pacific ships. It is the chan- nel which separates Prince of Wales Isl- and from the Queen Charlotte group and which connects Hecate Strait to the east | of the latter. Browns Passage is situ- | ated at the meeting of the two. | ——————— | Kill Big Game in Alaska. | SEATTLE, Nov. 6.—A party of Scotch | and English gentlemen who spent the en- tire summer In the Cook Inlet country hunting moose, mountain sheep and the other big game of that country, returned to Seattle to-day.
