We now take occasion to announce that the doors of this establishment will be closed on April 30th FOREVER, and all stories to the contrary spread by the different salesmen of our “downtown” competitors are falsehoods, made for the purpose of inducing customers to buy their goods and pay double the prices that they can now buy the same articles for at our store.

PITTS, The Stationer, 1008 MARXET ST, Above Powell San Francisco, Cal. { SIX SENATORS 10 BE CHOSEN This City Must Elect Half Dozen New Members to Up- i per House of Legislature PRELIMINARY AFFAIRS | Contests in Napa, Solano, Ma- rin and Contra Costa Re- publican Camps Expected g San Francisco will elect to the next Legislature eighteen Assemblymen and six Senators. The outgoing State Sen- ators are Joseph M. Plunkett, Seven- teenth District; Richard J. Welch, Nineteenth; Edward I. Wolfe, Twenty- first; John G. Tyrrell, Twenty-third, and John H. Nelson, Twenty-fifth. George H. Willlams, Twenty-fourth, who was elected in 1902 to serve for four years, died July 1903, and at the next election a Senator will be chosen to fill the unexpired term. The holdover State Senators from San Francisco are Harry Bunkers (Dem.), Eighteenth District; Frank French (Rep.), Twentieth, and Hamil ton A. Bauer (Rep.), Twenty-second District. Senator Wolfe is in the field as a candidate for renomination. Sen- ator Nelson is accreditedewith an am- bition to extend his'career as a states- man. Senator Welch, chief wharfinger of the harbor of San Francisco, has not declared his desire to enter the contest for renomination td the Sen- ate, but he has a strong following in the district. There is talk of giving the Republican nomination in the Twenty-third District to George R. Keane, the secretary of the Mayor. Thomas Lindsay and Martin Brady are mentioned as aspirants to fill the va- cancy in the Twenty-fourth District. In the Seventeenth District. now repre- | sented by Joseph M. Plunkett (Dem.), | there is some talk of placing Barney 5e | Conlan on the Republican ticket. POLITICIANS NOT IDLE. There will be the usual crop of aspirants to represent the city in the Assembly. Candidates for the United States Senate are not taking an active part in the preliminary agitation. Local politicians who are ever on the alert to get control of a bunch of legislators are not idle.

Mr. Rush Is president of the State Agricul- tural Society. CONTRA COSTA VS. MARIN. There is gossip in political circles to the effect that Contra Costa County Republicans do not intend to give the right of way to Marin County in selection of a Senator to represent the new Ninth District. It is claimed that | Marin County, ufider the old alternate { system, has had the Sena or for four- teen out of the past nty years. | Marin, it is asserted, gains the advan- | tage by electing | that county when it is Contra Costa's a Democrat from turn to name the Republican candi- | @ate. According to the alternate plan the Republicans of Marin are entitled in this campaign to name the candi- date of the party for State Senator. Four years ago Contra Costa Republi- cans named Charles M. Belshaw, but | Marin County. which is accounted Re- | publican by at least 500 majority. gave J. H. Wilkins, Belshaw’s Demo- cratic opponent, 162 majority. Ma- rin County Republican aspirants for the coming Senatorial nomi- nation are General John H. Dick- | inson, E. C. Chapman and E. B. Mar- | tinelli The Contra Costa delegation will have the power to control the | nomination, and the power may be used to give Charles M, Belshaw the prize. The voters next November may be | called upon to elect an Associate Jus- | tice of the Supreme Court. Jackson Temple (D.), who was elected for a | term ending January, 1907, died De- | cember 26, 1902, and Governor Gage | filled the vacancy on the bench by the appointment on January 5, 1903, of William G. Lorigan. whe was then Judge of the Superior Court, Santa Clara County. s e New Incorporations. Articles of Incorporation of the Reno Light and Power Company were filed yesterday. The directors are P.

KAISER MEETS ~ [ARGUING ABOUT SALE OF CANAL Maitre Dubuit, Counsel for Panama Company, Puts a Very Significant Question SPEECH IS DISCUSSED Says Republic Is Well 0z- ganized and Asks if Ques- tion Is Not One of Price PARIS, March 16.—The case of the republic of Colombia against the Pan- ama Canal Company to prevent the transfer of the latter’'s concession to the United States was resumed to-day before the first tribunal of the Seine. The former prel!dtn.t of the tribunal, Maitre Dubuit, continued his argument in behalf of the company’'s right to seil its concession to the United States. “The Initiative of these negotiations for the sale did not come from us, but from the Government of Colombia,” ex- claimed Dubuit. Counsel further as- serted that the republic of Panama was fully organized as a sovereign state. In closing Dubuit made the following sig- nificant query: “Why should we solicit your consent when your authority ceased to exist? Let us speak frankly. It is a question of price, is it not? And it is best that we do not discuss that branch of the question.” Maittre Guillaumin, representing Bo- naparte Wise, the original concession- aire, pointed out to the court that the civil tribunal of the Seine decided Mareh 15, 1902, that the company could make the transfer, Qut limited the time till March 4, 193. He insisted that this decision prevented the transfer to the United States after the latter dafe. Adjourned until to-morrow. Dubuit’s statement that Colombia's consent to the transfer was “a question of price” was much commented upon. —_———————— Professor Gayley Will Speak.
