In other quarters it was learned that among the San Fran- cisco parties concerned as creditors for mining machinery and other appliances supplied to the mine are the Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden Company, the Joshua Hendy Machine Works, the California Powder Works, the Boston Woven Hose and Rubber Company, the Schaw-Batcher Company, the Pacific Tank Company and the Meese & Gottfried Company. Attorney Kellogg | of Quincy is looking after San Fran- cisco interests at the Plumas end of the line, while Messrs.

A rep- | resentative of Dpuglas, Lacey & Co., Walter W. Vick, is in this city. He contradicts some of the statements that have been made by Lawton. The Sap Francisco creditors seem to have com- plete confidence in Lawton. A great deal of litigation is likely to grow out of the transaction. —_——— Election Cases Decided. The Supreme Court decided yes- terday that Charles B. Howard was legally elected Sheriff of Siskiyou County in November, 1902. Marion Freshour was a rival candidate for '{IQ fice and contested the election. It was also declared that Gillis Doty had good ground for contesting the election of Thomas Jenkins to the Sac- ramento County Board of Supervis- ors. It was not decided that Doty should have been declared elected, but he has legal authority to carry on the contest. An appeal in the case was taken from an order sustaining defendant’s demurrer, - Jat to advantage, but the loss of flesh is | cone of the ac bealth.

White, assistant superintendent of steamers of the Southern Pacific Company, was un- der discussion in Judge Sloss’ court yesterday. Several witnesses pro- | nounced it decidedly bad, not only for truth, but for honesty and integrity, and thev were not a bit backward in announcing that almost every one that came in contact with White had no scruples in informing the public at | large that the Southern Pacific official was everything that he should not be. Strange to relate, these witnesses are all in the employ of the Southern Pa- cific, holding positions more or less sub- | ject to the influence of the man whose reputation they assailed. Their testi- mony, however, was qualified by the fact, brought out during their cross- examination, that at some time in their careers as railroad employes they had had trouble with White. BOEHM BRINGS SUIT. The discussion of White's reputation was Dbrought about by a suit filed against White by Fred M. Boehm, ad- ministrator of the estate of Danfel Boehm, who for years ran the restau- rants on the river steamers owned by the Southern Pacific. The suit is for a sum approximating $3500, which Boehm claims his uncle, the restaurant man, intrusted to White a short time prior to his death, and which he says White has | not accounted for. White does not deny receiving the money from Boehm at the time specified, but he claims that It was given to him outright as a gift, and the testimony showed that during | the last days of Boehm's life the rail- road official had performed many acts | of kindnesses for him. John Joseph Reardon, an employe of the railroad company, was the first witness examined concerning White's reputation for truth, honesty and integrity. that White was a “bad egg” and sald that there were any number of men in the employ of the railroad and else- where that would say as much. He testified that a Captain Freeman told him he would not believe White un- der oath; that Howard Holmes, for- merly chief engineer of the Harbor Commissioners, had told him that White was not to be trusted, and Parls Kilburn, former president of ' the Board of Harbor Commissioners, had said that White was not trustworthy. He also said that one Johnson, once chief engineer on the steamer Herald, had denounced White in unmeasured terms. Under cross-examination he ad- mitted that he once had a little trouble with White, but he said, “I am not in the least hostile toward him.” White over a wharf, did not like the assistant superintendent. Count’s opinion of White was not fit courtroom. ‘‘He gave it to me,” said - the positions of civil en- | the rescue. Before this took place Mr. |the witness, “one foggy morning on | the mole. MYRICK PUZZLED. R. L. Myrick, a ticket collector at the Oakland mole, was as positive as Reardon that White is not a square man. “I would not trust him under oath,” said Myrick. Myrick was a little bit puzzled by the attorney’s questions concerning White reputation for honesty. gaid he never had any dealings with him in “dollars and cents,” but he felt certain any one with the alleged gen- eral reputation of White was not much when it came to honesty. He proved a most voluble witness on the ques- tion of veracity, however, denouncing ‘White in strong language. “He lied about me,” he said, “at a time when I was about to secure a po- sition he coveted. He said I was drunk, when I had nothing to drink but a bottle of patent medicine that I had taken for a cold.” The case will go on again to-day. —_————————— MARSHAL SHINE HAS / CROOK ON HIS HANDS Cannot Obtain a Warrant of Removal and Must Await Advices From the Attorney General. By request of the United States At- torney General, United States Mar- shal Shine arrested at the San Quentin penitentiary yestetrday morning Jo- seph Davis, alias J. M. Dunn, alias Howard McClure, alias Charles Howard, who had just completed a five years’ sentence for burglary com- mijtted in Placer County. In 1888 the prisoner was convicted in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio of the crime of burglarizing a postoffice. For this offense he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment in the Ohio peni- tentiary, but before the expiration of his term of sentence he made his escape and came to California. The prisoner denles his identity, but gays that he is willing to be taken back to Ohio. Marshal Shine applied to United -States Court Commissioner Heacock for a warrant of removal, but Judge Heacock. declined to issue the warrant on the ground that jail break- ing is not an offense against the United States statutes. United States Com- missioner Manley also refused a war- rant and the Marshal has telegraphed to Washington for advice. —_———— Captain Roosevelt Returning. Captain H. L.

'CLUB WOMEN ~ CAST THEIR ' VOTES TO-DAY e | To-day shapes the official destinies of the California Club for the ensuing year. ! your little slip of paper bearing the no- menclature of the prospective club of- ficers must be in the hands of the com- | mittee—else your precious vote will be lost on desert alr. The error in the | club directorate was rectified almost on | the eve of its occurrence, when Mrs. Xavier Rolker—whose name was inad- vertently omitted from the list—most graciously withdrew, thereby saving | the necessity of issulng new ballots. This tactful courtesy was greatly ap- preciated by the officers of election— and I strongly suspect will prove a po- tent factor in the unanimous election of Mrs. Rolker next year to a position of honor. It is commonly conceded that among the candidates. for direc- | tors the first four will run strong, the remaining four coming from names further down the list. But above and beyond all in point of interest is the contest for the presidency, with Mrs. J. W. Orr and Mrs. Aylett Cotton run- ning close—and may the cleverest wo- man win! Stunning Miss McNutt has at last announced her Dbetrothal—and, of course, to the strongly suspected Lieu- | tenant Fitzhugh Lee, U. S. A.

Isn't it | said that propinquity is the most po- | tent factor in matrimony? Mr. Lee is the possessor of a splendld record in the service, and is further distinguished for having chosen General Fitzhugh Lee for his father. The wedding date has not been determined upon, as the prospective groom is now in the Phil- ippines. Miss McNutt is about to visit the family of her flance in the South. T Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Pease and Miss Maylita Pease left for New York last | night, going by way of Portland, Ore- gon. They will visit the St. Louis Ex- position before returning.

Be- fore returning home she will go to ‘Washington, Boston and New York, and also spend some time at the St. Louis Exposition. —_— e Registration Is Heavy. Comparative figures compiled in the office of the Registrar of Voters | with' this year and the same date of 1902 show a remarkable increase in the registry list. This is perhaps part- ly due to the fact that this is a Pres- idential year and also to the efforts | of Registrar Adams, who has sent no- tices so far as possible to every voter in the city calling attention to the necessity of early registration. Up to date the list shows a total registration of 13,054 for this year, as against 2671 for 1902. * — el s Chinese Is Sentenced.

D. Edward Collins’ Views on International Arbitration and Industrial Conditions | LOCKOUT IS CONSIDERED IR il Executive Committee of San Francisco Missionary Con- vention Holds Meeting Out of an address on “International Arbitration” delivered before the Pres- byterian Ministers' Association By D. | Edward Collins at the Presbyterian | House yesterday arose a discussion dealing .with the labor situation in ! America and the Citizens' Alliance. Mr. Collins’ subject was originally devoted to war, the settlement of in- ternational disputes, the great service to humanity and nations rendered by | the Hague arbitration tribunal and the | anticipation of the great powers re- | ducing or abolighing their vast armies ;and navies. At the close of the address the Rev. Mr. Bevier and the Rev. Dr. Strong | expressed the hope that Mr. Collins | might have dealt with arbitration also as it would affect the labor problems of the moment. “Lockouts” and ‘‘strikes” were then discussed, Mr. Collins reminding his audience that he considered the action of the Oakland butchers ih “locking out” their employes quite as serious as the stand of strikers and labor | unions that called out men and pre- vented them from accepting employ- ment. As the employers had taken that step there was, he said, a resort to extreme | measures on both sides. | Mr. Collins referred to the Citizens' Alllance and the work of Mr. Parry | of Indianapolis, whose association, he | understood, had been instrumental in | righting labor troubles at the mines in | 1aaho. | The lockout, he said, which had been | inaugurated in Oakland in a small way | might be a criterion by which future treubles in labor might be determined. ADVOCATES EQUAL RIGHTS. ‘While it did not seem to him that an employer should say that a man | should not belong to a labor union, he | admitted that independent labor suf-| fered through the unions. Mr. Collins believed that all men should have equal rights and opportunity. He illustrated the case where a man was not permitted to employ his own | son as an apprentice gnd stigmatized some union labor methods as usurpa- tion and slavery, but he asked if it | would be a bettlement of the troubles if employers on the other hand adopt ! the method of the “lockout.” { The Rev. H. B. Mowbray addressed | the meeting on “Our Work in the Sun- | day-School,” and took occaslon to erit- | icize the old methods while giving pre- ! ference for a modern pedagogic system. PUBLIC AND SUNDAY SCHOOLS. | "The Public School and the Sunday- | School” was the theme of a paper read { by W. Kingsbury before the Methodist | Ministers’ Assoclation yesterday at Epworth Hall. | Mr. Kingsbury said in part: The public achool educator falls short in his effort, because, in attempting to develop char- | acter, he must, under our laws, and fre- | quently following his own inclination, omit | that most essential phase of character:devei- | opment, the spiritual. Some of our teachers seemed afraid to even mention a God. The thought of a loving and personal God is far from the minds of even our Christ-professing teachers; far from their minds, because of the fear of a claim that { they are teaching sectarian doctrin Wo hear our schools spoken of as godlest and too frequently, 1 fear, they are and, ther fore, the more the n of our Sunday schools. 1 fear that harm is sometimes done in im- pressing on our church members the necessity of special training as Sunday school teachers, and leaving them to suppose that we mean the training given otr day-school teacher. Of course, wa should not overlook the general laws of pedagogy, but do not frighten away our teachers by using the term. The preparation of the day-school teacher is in the normal school; the preparation of the Sunday school teacher should be in her closet. The day-school teacher feels her work finished it she turns out a merely respectable and pass- ably Intsiligent product; teacher can only feel her work done when she sees her pupll close to the feet of our Saviour. PREPARE FOR CONVENTION. The executive committee of the San Francisco Missionary Convention, to | take place in the city next month, and for which big preparations are being made, met yesterday afternoon at the Methodist Book Concern bullding, Dr. G. B. Smyth in the chair. Arrangements were made to hold meetings beginning Thursday evening, April 28, to be continued Friday all day, Saturday morning and evening and Sunday In the afternoon. In addi- will be held in the Alhambra Theater, there will in all probability be meet- ings Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoon in Oakland. Among the dignitaries of the Meth- odist church who will deliver addresses during the convention will be Bishop Thoburn of India, Bishop Hartzell of Africa; Dr. J. R. Day, president of Syracuse University, N. Y.; Bishop ‘Warren, Bishop Joyce, Bishop Goodsell, Bishop Moore, Bishop Fowler, Bishop ‘Warne of India, Bishop Vincent, Dr. John F.

Heywood and Henry J. McCoy of the San Francisco Young Men's Christian Association. Bishop J. W. Hamilton, LL.D., will preside at the opening of the conven- tion. The First Congregational Church of Petaluma, of which the Rev. Samuel C. Patterson is pastor, closed a con- tract yesterday with a California organ company for a patent pneumatic or- gan to cost $3500. The instrument is to have fifteen speaking stops, fourteen mechanical actions and 811 pipes. It will be installed for the third Sunday in August. —_———— Inquiry About Dead Brother. Dr, G.

Sl s Special Dispatch to The Call. | “ SAUSALITO, March 14.—The United J; States revenue cutter Manning is lying | off Sausalito after an extremely rough | voyage down from Puget Sound. The| Manning left Seattle ‘on sulurdly.“ March §, and was five days in making the trip to San Francisco. Captain| Tuttle says it was by far the roughest ' trip he has ever experienced up or down, | this coast. The Manning was in the | | storm that raged last Tuesday night. SHe struck it when just off Tatoosh, | and thers was no cessation for many hours. The boat braved the gale from 10 o’clock Tuesday night until 4 o'clock Thursday morning. The cutter with- | | stood the storm admirably well, but was damaged slightly. [ Captaln Tuttle was not aboard the Manning to-day, but other officers of { the ship recounted their experiences. “We had most any kind of a wind| that could blow,” sald Lieutenant Howell. “It started in with a south- | easter, and we had it all around to the | southwest. The high wind was accom- panied by an extremely heavy sea. After midnight Tuesday we had the lowest barometer known in some time. | It was 25.40. Captain Tuttle has been on this coast for over twenty years, | and he never experienced as low a | barometer. When the barometer fell so ilow we looked for most anything. We were four days and a half getting down | here. We spoke several ships en route, | but saw none in distress.” iAo GRUNSKY IS BANQUETED | | BY FORMER ASSOCIATES | Employes of the City Engineer’s Of- | ! fice Entertain Their Retiring Chief. | C.

A pleasant surprise to the retiring | chief of the office was the presenta- | tion by Mr. Holcomb, in his response | to the toast, “Fraternity,” of a hand- somely engraved gold card, about two by four inches in size and bearing the | following inscription. | “To C.
