The most important question that |came up before the convention was that of making a big display of the re- sources of the counties represented in the association at the World's Fair at St. Louls next year. J. A. Filcher, Cal- ifornia commissioner to the exposition, | addressed the convention and gave In- formation regarding the space set aside for California. He informed the con- vention that in addition to the general State display to be made that the coun- ties of California would have an op- portunity of displaying their resourgzs in separate exhibits. He also suggested that the six counties combine in mak- ing their display uniform in order to advertise the central coast section of | California. Commissioner Filcher was given a| vote of thanks for his information and the convention then proceeded with its regular business. The reports of the secretary and treasurer showed that the membership of the association was increasing .nndl that many boards of trade and cham- | bers of commerce were being formed in the counties in order to secure repre- sentation in the association. b General Helen Hunt inspiration for her Ramona”; where Gen- | Castro is relatives Iived; where the Dons of Mexico rode for leagues over the domains, citizens who reside e six counties above as delegates in| n and exchanged ideas as to 0 section of 4 of the vast product of fruits{ kinds; of vegetables that can not rpassed; of wines of the finest deposits of serve as fuel sits of iron je California to pro- wn iron and steel; of enor- jes of building stone; ier that take thousands of rs to move to market; of nes that surpass fiction in | - | amounting to hundreds | f tons are raised in these the industry is but in its of MANY DELEGATES GATHER. of the weather did deter the delegates in assembling The inclem the old w of the counties to respond with a full quota of resentatives.

H. D. Mathews of' the State Board of Trade and R. P. Lathrop of Hollister on the California L. W. Jefferson reported that Con- gress had been asked to purchase for national park purposes the great body of rock formation consisting of twen- ty sections and known as “The Pinna- cles.” These rocks are situated in Mon- terey and San Luis Obispo counties. Paul Shoup, delegate at large, who is division, freight and passenger agent cific Railroad, reported that his com- pany intended to secure many photo- graphs of the “Pinnacles” and use the same in advertising form. He stated that Congress would take up next month the question of setting aside the land in question for a park. In expectation of action by Congress Delegate Shoup stated that some per- sons had filed locations of part of the land, hoping to make a sum of money by such transactions. The convention decided to adopt a uniform sign for display boards to be erected along the coast line of the rafl- road. These signs will inform trav- elers that the towns and citles men- to the central coast counties and will give data as to pop- ulation, climate, resources, etc. The signs will be ten feet high and thirty feet long. IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION. The report from the committee on immigration presented a resolution re- questing Congress to restrict objec- tionable immigration into the United States and calling the attention of the | national lawmakers to the incoming of thousands of persons who are a menace to the welfare of American cit- izens. The resolution asks Congress | to pass stringent laws In order to keep out of the country undesirable immi- grants. The resolution was adopted and will be sent to the California Sena- tors and Congressmen. Letters were read from Senator George C. Perkins, Congressman V. H. Metcalfe, the Cali- fornia Promotion Cofamittee and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, pledging support to the resolution In question. There was some discussion as to the manner in which the exhibits of the six counties were being maintained in Los Angeles and it was the opinion of all the delegates that considerable good would result from keeping the exhib- its in place as they would advertise the siX coast counties among the tourists who arrive in Southern California's metropolis. The question of making a display at the St. Louis Exposition took up some time of the convention. The reports of the delegates from each county showed that every resource and product of the localities would be dise played at the big exposition. PRODUCTS TELL OWN STORY. The general opinion of the delegates was that it was better to spend money in sending the products of the counties rather than expending funds in print- ings literature. “Printing literature,” said Delegate Barnett, “is all very well, but it is the best way to get péople out here. M'GUE ATTACHES THE SAUGALITD DemandsThree Hundred Thousand Dollars Damages. Alleges That Steamer San Rafael Was Sunk Through Negligence. James S. McCue of Corte Madera filed a lbel yesterday in the United States District Court against the North Facific Coast Railroad Company and the ferry steamer Sausalito to recover $200,000 damages. In pursuance of the libel United States Marshal John H. Shine attached the steamer. McCue was a passenger on the San Rafael and was Injured in a collision which took place between the ferry steamboats Sausalito and San Rafael on November 30, 1901, when the San Rafael sank to thesbottom of the bay. McCue alleges that when the collision occurred he was struck in the back and knocked through a glass door; that his right arm was half cut off; that the bones of his right hand and wrist were broken; that a part of his left ear was cut off; that his lower jaw was fractured; that his body was lacerated and bruised; that he was thrown into the water and nearly drowned, and that he was made a cripple for life. He alleges further that at the time of the accident both vessels were run- ning through a dense fog at a high rate of speed and that the collision was caused by the gross negligence of the cfficers and crew of both vessels. Harry V. Morehouse i{s the attorney for the complainant. @ i @ ing them the producs tells a far bet- ter story.” The display at the St. Louis Exposi- tion to be made by the six central coast counties will be one of the finest representing this State. In addition to thousands of jars of every known va- | riety of ffuits, vegetables, wines and | ofls, the agricultural display will be a lavish one. Arrangements will be made to daily skbip to St. Louis large quanti- ties of fresh fruits and vegetables. The vistors to the St. Louis Fair will have an oppertunity of eating the choice fruits and other products and thus Snding out what the six central coast counties can raise. The six counties will inform the California Commission- ers to the St. Louis Fair of what they intend to display, and space will be re- served for them. Designs of the exhib- its will also be furnished, and the Com- missioners will be requested to have the six counties’ exhibits next to one an- other in order to advertise the section of California as a whole. DENOUNCE A “ENOCKER.” Consi@erable indignation was ex- pressed by the convention at the at- tempt of certaln persons to frustrate the selection by Congress of the Naci- miento rancho, in Monterey and San Luis Obispo edunties, for a camp of miljtary instruction. The site was se- lected by an army board of engineers and indorsed by Lieutenant General S. B. M. Young, and Congressmen Need- ham and Daniels have introduced a bill in Congress to provide for the pur- chase of the land in question. John L. D. Roberts of Seaside recent- ly sent communications to various of- ficlals and objected to the site for the camp as being unhealthy and unfit for the purposes of a military instruection camp. The convention unanimously adopted a resolution denouncing Rob- erts, and a copy of the same will be sent to the California delegation in Congress. > » It was decided to hold the next quar- terly convention in the city of Santa Clara on the third Thursday of Janu- ary, 1904, The city of Paso Robles and the city of Palo Alto extended invitations to the convention to meet in their cities in May, and the city of Watsonville asked for the convention in August next. ENJOY MEXICAN BANQUET. A vote of thanks was tendered to the citizens of San Juan, and the conven-, tion then adjourned to partake of the banquet provided for the delegates by the San Juan Valley Improvement Club. The banquet was served in the refectory of the old mission building, and was unique in every way. The adobe walls of the room were decorated with American and Mexican flags, lamps depending from the roof. The table was exquisitely decorated with vines and peppers and loaded down with every delicacy of the season. The banquet provided was a typical one of old Mexico, and was prepared by the ladies of San Juan, assisted by Mexi- can cooks. The menu consisted of ta- males, olives, frijoles, enchiladas, chile ccn carne, tortillas, pimolas, capiro- tada, cafe negros, nuences, frutas, vino blanco and vino tinto. A number of the pretty young ladies of San Juan who waited on the guests were dressed in Mexican costume, and the evening was thoroughly enjoyed. HELP TO REPAIR MISSION. S. R. Canfield was toastmaster, and was assisted by C. A. Warnock, F. B. Abbe, F. A. Hodges and E. F. Pearce, the committee on banquet. Mrs. S. R. Canfield was in charge of the ladies who attended to the wants of the The toasts responded to were ‘as follows: “The Missions of Califor- nia,” Judge M. T.

CLIFF HOUSE WL BEOPEN Attachments Are Taken Off Wines and Pro- visions. B The Clff House will reopen for busi- ness this morning after having been closed two days. According to B. W. Rice, vice president and principal stockholder of the Wilkins corporation, the trouble between Sroufe and Wilkins has been temporarily settled and the business will continue as in the past. In an interview last night, Rice safd: “Attorney Denson, acting for the Wil- kins corporation, and Attorney Shurt- leff for Sroufe, met to-day and effected an agreement whereby we will be per- mitted to reopen the place this morn- ing and continue business till the finan- cial trouble is entirely settled. We are | perfectly satisfied with the terms and | the business of the Cliff House will| continue as in the past, with Wilkins as president and manager.” But Shurtleff had an entirely differ- ent tale to relate regarding the tempo- rary patching up of the existing finan- cial trouble. He said: “Yes; we had a sort of an understanding at a meet- ing to-day and we have agreed to al- low Wilkins to open the CIliff House this morning. We have taken the at- tachments off a quantity of the wine and provisions, so that the customers can be served. “The keepers will be in charge as usual and the attachments will remain on the furniture of the place tiil the case is finally settled. Business may continue for several days, but I am of the opinion that it will be but a short time under the fixed conditions. “We are just as anxious to have the trouble settled up as is Wilkins, and if there is any chance of doing so we will exert out utmost influence. We realize just as much as the other side does that the presént difficulty is liable to injure the business of the Cliff House, and, of course, neither side wants to see this occur. @ iiiiniiiiniele el @ of the Future,” I. B. McMahill of San Jose; “Progress at Mountain View,” W. A. Clark of Mountain View. A suggestion at the close of the ban- quet that the ladies raise funds for the repair of the old mission building was heartily received, and in a few minutes the sum of $50 was contributed by the delegates. Mrs. S. R. Canfleld was ap- pointed to present the money to the aged priest, Father Valentine Closa, CAPTAINS OF THE BIG EASTERN UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TEAMS WHICH MET YESTERDAY. Losers PlayBetter| | Game, but Are | Unlucky. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 2L.—Har- vard struggled bravely against Yale to- day in their annual football match, | but was defeated 1§ to 0, principally because her offense weakened and | Yale's defense grew stronger as the crimson players were within striking distance of the Yale goal. Nearly 40,000 persons watched the game. While it was not as spectacular | as that between Yale and Princeton, a week ago, better football was played and for the first half and for| Several minutes in _the second | half the score was to make the result uncertain. In fact, | after Harvard had shown sufficient | speed to get twice inside of Yale’s five- | yard line in the first half, her support- ers were wellnigh convinced the team | would not only score, but would win the | game. Yale's defense proved too strong, however, and, backed by 15,000 voices which yelled, “Hold "em! hold | ‘em,” the blue line stood.firm beneath its own goal bar, twice capturing the| ball on downs and in the third in-| stance taking advantage of a fumble | by a Harvard player. In the second half Harvard got within six inches of | the Yale goal and yet could not score. } The defeat, therefore, was exceeding- | ly bitter for the crimson, as the fast| play of the team beyond the Yale ten | and fifteen yard lines pleased the Har- | vard supporters and proved one of the features of the game. There was some fumbling and sev- | eral blocked kicks, one of the Yale scores being directly due to the latter. | There were several end rums for fif-| teen and twenty-five yards, but as a rule the play, especially so far as Har- vard was concerned, was a series of flerce line plunges for short gains of one, tweo and three yards. KICKING IS BELOW AVERAGE. The kicking was below the average, especially on Harvard's part and was a great disappointment to the crimson supporters. Mitchell, for Yale, covered 398 yards on fourteen kicks, while Le- | moyne and Nichols of Harvard covered 220 yards on eight kicks. In rushing Harvard had slightly the better of it, gaining 213 yards on sixty-eight rushes, while Yale made 130 yards om forty- seven rushes. Yale ran back for six- ty-three yards and Harvard for 104 yards. Yale was penalized six times for sixty-five yards and Harvard three times for forty yards. Yale won the toss and chose the west goal to gain the little benfit of the faint west wind. Lemoyne kicked off to Mitchell on Yale’s five-yard line. Mitchell ran the ball back twenty yards before he was thrown by Cloth- jer. Yale kicked on the second down to Harvard’s thirty-five yard line, but the Yale ends came on fast and Mar- shall was thrown before he was well started. : On the second play Marshall, by a quarterback run, covered seventeen yards, bringing the ball into the center of the fleld. Two runs more carried it four yards, and then came a penalty, which set Harvard back to her forty- eight-yard line. Lemoyne’s kick was a poor one, covering only twenty-two yards. Again Yale kicked on the sec- ond down, the ball going to Harvard's twenty-yard line. This time Marshall covered nineteen yards before he was thrown. On three central plays Harvard gained ten yards, which gave great en- couragement to the crimson side of the field, but again was penalized ten yards, which was followed by a poor pass by Parkinson and the consequent loss of the ball to Yale on Harvard's thirty-seven-yard line. YALE'S OFFENSE IS STRONG. Yale's offense looked strong, but after getting to Harvard's twenty-five-yard Sutter | line the blue was penalized twenty yards for the offside play. The teams then exchanged kicks, and once more Yale started for Harvard's goal. On two rushes into the center Metcalf cir- cled the Harvard right end for thirty- small enough | | | CAPTALY rARSHALL | | or HARVARD | | | VANDALS DEFACE A SCAOOLHOUSE Paint Red Signs on the Front of the Lowell Building. ——— The Board of Education decided yes- terday to institute a rigid investiga- tion into the conduct of some vandals who painted the legend, “Cold feet— 23 to 0—Poly,” on the Lowell High School building. The matter has been placed in the hands of the police and no stone will be left unturned to bring the gulity parties to justice. The build- ing has just been newly painted and renovated at great expense. School Director Roncovieri visited the school Friday morning and ascertain- ed that the act of vandalism had been performed some time during Thursday night. The letters were at least one foot high and were done in red paint. The front of the building was literally covered with the insecriptions. Roncovieri says that suspicion at- taches to the boys of the Polytechnic High School. This conclusion is drawn from the fact that the Polytechnie football team beat the Lowell team by a score of 23 to 0 last year. This year the Lowell team Teturned the compii- ment by defeating the Polytechnie team by a score of § to 0. It is'thought that the Polytechnic boys took this method of calling particular attention to that fact that they had once won from Lowell. “We intend to make a severe exam- ple of any one found guilty of defacing public property,” said Roncovierf. “It is possible that the Polytechnic boys did not paint the signs. If it should be found that they did they should be made to understand that they are no better than anybody else simply be- cause they are attending high school. It is too bad that some boys do not ap- preciate the fact that they are being educated by the State at practically no cost to themselves. They should be taught to respect school property.” The Board of Education will have another position to flll, owing to Miss Alice M. Woife, a feacher of the sec- ond grade in the Rincon Grammar School, having sent in her resignation to take effect at once. Miss Wolfe's resignation will be acted upon at next ‘Wednesday's meeting of the Board of Education and as usual in such cases the resign .tion will be accepted. —_——— Choppers’ Reunion. The entertainment committee of the Choppers’ Friendship Club of the Woodmen of the World has decided to have a grand reunion of the members and their families in the Lincoln Hall of the Pioneer building on the evening of Wednesday, November 25, on which occasion there will be a good pro- gramme of music, song and Iterary numbers, after which the host club will serve ice cream and cakes. A part of the programme will be the exhibition of stereopticon views, many of which are new. D D S — Californians in Washington.
