At 10 o'clock the buffet in the ban- | quet room was opened and the Ma-| sons and their friends partook of a| fine luncheon. | A brief description of the building | follows: On the upper floor of the | south side of the building are spacious | vestibules. To the right is the lodge- | room proper. The great star that or- | naments the dome is lighted by sixty incandescent lamps, hung thirty feet | above the floor, which is sixty-five | feet In length by forty in width. The | ceiling is encircled by a row of lights | that increase the number of incandes- cents in the room to about 218. The four stations, one on each side | of the hall, are marvels of beauty. | The speakers at the banquet will be ef Justice Beatty, former Justices rey, Wallace, Searls and Rhodes, and a response by some Federal Judge not yet selected. The speeches will be largely reminiscent. Judge Augustus Loring Rhodes, the special guest of the occasion, has been a practicing attorney for fifty-eight years, He was born in Oneida County, New York, in 1821, and was admitted to the bar in Indiana in 1846. With one or 1wo exceptions he has been engaged in the practice of law longer than any oth- er attorney in the State. Judge Rhodes «ame to California in 1854, and in 1856 began the practice of law in this eity, &t that time forming a partnership with the late P. O, Minor. In 1859 he was elected District Attorney in this county, and In 1860 was elected State Senator to represent Santa Clara and Alameda counties. Judge Rhodes was clected a member of the Supreme Court of the State of California in 1863, and on January 1, 1864, he took his seat in that court. He was a member of that court for sixteen years, and from 1870 to 1872 was Chief Justice. In 1879, when the new constitution was adopted, he was a candidate for Chief Justice, but was defeated by Robert F. Morrison by a small majority. He then retired from the bench and took up the active practice of law, having an office in San Francisco. His practice took him prin- cipally before the Supreme Court of the United States and he argued some of the most important cases on the Pacific Coast before that body. On the death of Judge A. H. Kittredge in 1899, Gov- ernor Gage appointed him a Judge of the Superior Court of this county. In 1900 he was unanimously elected to a full term in the Superior Court, having received the nomination of the Repub- lican, Democratic and Good Govern- ment parties. The banquet will be limited to mem- bers of the bar, and it is expected that 125 members will be present. Many in- quiries have been received for seats from Jawyers in S8an Francisco and other cities of the State. A score of old clients of Judge Rhodes have ap- plied for places, but as the banquet is limited to members of the bar the cannot be accommodated. There wi be decorations and music. Those of the guests who can remain the next day will be taken about the city and entertained by the local mem- bers of the bar. The officers of the Santa Clara Coun- 1y Bar Assoclation are: President, V. A. Scheller; vice president, W. A. John- ston; secretary, Edwin Coolidge. J. E. Richards is chairman of the committee in charge of the banquet. The rest of the committee are V. A. Scheller, £. F. Leib, N. Bowden, J. H. Campbell and E. E. Cothran. ———— AMES DEFEAT MOTHER'S EFFORT TO SAVE CHILD Fire Destroys Home of Pasadena Man and Infant Loses Its Life.

The date has been set for July 23 and the number of the most prominent | of California’s citizens is to be limited | to one hundred. They are to leave San i Francisco on July 22 in a special train | for Boulder Creek. On the next morning they are to be taken from there to the Big Basin, ‘where a barbecue is to be held at the Governor's Camp. | It is arranged to have speeches from Governor Pardee; the State Commis- siopers, W.

Brouks; and several of his men met the Chief of PolMce of Teras and a party near that place, and together they started in pursult of the outlaws, trailing them | through a rough country until they were finally surrounded in a thick| undergrowth. Realizing that they were | cornered, the outlaws were prepared for a battle, ‘'and at approach of .thé' posse the fight began. The outlaw | band numbered ten, | The bushes failed to prove a good shelter from the merciless fire poured in on them by the posse and, suddenly | abandoning their pack horses, they | leaped in their saddles and made a | break for the open country, firing as| they rode. Fortunately for the posse ! and the Chlef of Police, two of the out- | laws were thrown in"a collision between | their horses, The mounts of two others | were shot down, and still another two | fell from their saddles, brought down | by bullets from the rifles of the pur-, suing party, Their wounds are not necessarily fatal, Four of the bandits, one of whom was wounded in the fight in the bushes, escaped in the running fight, but the | six are considered a blg capture, as| papers belenging to one of the Max-i wells were found on two of them, and the officers have reason to believe that | a third was with the two when the| crime was committed. Two of the other | prisoners have been positively identi- | fied as the murderers of members of | the Mormon colony. ‘ The prisoners were taken to Teras, | guarded by the entire posse of ten Americans and Mexicans, and were | i | thrown into jail at that town.

The old manage- ment is very reticent about imparting information, and when a Call repre- sentative broached the subject to one of the directors of Baker & Hamilton there was little said. For some unex-| plained reason their aim is to avold publicity and keep the facts'of the change quiet. The late management has been in charge about twenty-four years, hav- ing bought out the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company. It is the intention of the new company to greatly enlarge: the plant and devote more attention to ! iron and foundry rather than wooden and plow work. The manufacture of agricultural implements will be sec- ondary. The citizens of Benicla are jubilant over thé change effected, for the agri- cultural works was almost at a stand- still when the sale was made. Not only | pery the name but the stockholders will| change. The plans under consideération are to enlarge the foundry deplrtmenti and wharf, allowing the dockage of deep water vesels. The payroll will bel increased 50 per cent, and white rather than foreign labor will be used. —_—————— l TROLLEY RIDE TO SAN MATEO | The San Francisco Drug Clerks' As- | sociation Gives' Its Fourth | Annual Excursion.

The woman was in an unconscious condi- | tion in her room at 1558 Polk street | and from one of her friends it was | thought that she took the alcohol by mistake, believing it to ®e a medicinal | preparation. Subsequent investiga- ' tion brought to light the fact that early yesterday morning she swallowed A |a quantity of the poison, from which she suffered severely during the day, and last evening about 6 o’clock she took another large dose. From this it is inferred that it was not through error but with suicidal intent that Mrs. | Hyland drank the alcohol. Despite | heroic treatment by Emergency Sur-; geon Wiliam Stevens she remained un- | conscious and died a few hours after reaching the hospital. She was a widow, about 30 years of age, and nothing is known of her antecedents.

Union Will Have No Interference From Longshoremen on Ship BRI The freight handlers of the Southern Pacific railroad sheds who went out on strike three weeks ago to-night de- cided last evening to remain out. The meeting was held in Manzanita Hall, and was an exciting one from opening to adjournment. The advocates for no strike made a strong plea to, have the move called ofr, and those in favor of holding out worked hard for | | votes among their weaker members. At | the secret ballot the result stood 103 to,‘ 67 in favor of the strike. The union | will canvass the labor localities and socleties to obtain work and assistance | for its idle members and continue its efforts to bring the company to terms. | In view of the recent action of the! longshoremen of Astoria in refusing to work with sailors aboard forelgn- bound vessels, the Sailors’ Union of the | Pacific, régarding the stand taken by, the longshoremen as inimical to its own interests, has adopted the follow- | ing resolution: i ‘Whereas, The third annual convention of the Pacific Coast branch of the International Longshoremen's Association, held at Astoria, Or., June 6 to 9, inclusive, a resolu- tion declaring that ‘members of longshoremen's unlons refuse to work with sailors, doing long- shore work on forelgn-going vessels; and, Whereas, In so as the resolution here clted s intended to operate against the mem- of any vessel's crew (or substitutes em- ployed temporarily in place thereof) while en- in any capacity in connection with hand- ling of cargo on board ships, it is calculated to work a denial of the seaman’s right to all work done “‘inside tbe rail,” and is consequently an infringement upon legitimate interests of the seamen; therefore, | “Resolved, By the Sailors' Union of the Pa- cific that members of this union hereby declare their insistence at all times upon the right to perform any and all kinds of labor, including andling 0 inside the rall, swithout hin- drance or objection upon the part of any other organization; further Resolved, That the members of this union also declare their determination to take such Steps as be necessary in any case to in- sure the prompt dispatch of vessels affected by the conditions herein set forth.

Capp had been spending the evening at the Hammam Baths. Shortly after 1 o'clock he started for the Lick House to visit a friend, with whom he had an appointment. He had reached Trinity | street, a small alleyway running from Sutter to Bush streets, between Kearny and Montgomery, when two masked men jumped from the darkness and, pressing guns in. his face, commanded him to throw up his hands. Capp com- plied with alacrity. The taller of the two thugs held a huge revolver beneath Capp's nose, warning him not to make an outery if he valued his life. “Shell out everything of value that you've got,” the highwayman demanded. ‘While Capp quivered before the muzzle of the revolver, the smaller footpad ' cleaned out his pockets of everything of value. A man passed on the other side of the I street and Capp made a move as if to cry out. The footpad with the gun no- ticed the move and in a grating whis- per told him to keep quiet or he would blow his head down the street. Seeing resistance useless, Capp, much against his will, submitted to the fingers of the robber who was industriously rifling his pockets. ‘When they had obtained all the horseman’s wealth, the footpads backed away. The little man's mask fell down, exposing a face wearing a black mustache. Capp says he will be able to recognize the crook again, Leaving their victim with another warning to make no alarm, the thieves ran down the alley in the direction of Bush streat and disappeared. Capp immediately reported the mat- ter to the Central police station and Detective Charles Taylor was detailed on the case and arrested Frank Smith, a marine, who had been dishonorably ! discharged from the navy. A few hours later Smith was allowed to go, but last night the police were again looking for him., Capp is employed as an expert horse- | keeper at the Burlingame Country | Club’s grounds in Burlingame. —_——— UNIONS ARE ASSESSED TO ENTERTAIN DELEGATES ALL Local Labor Organizations to Provide for Elaborate Entertainment for the Eastern Visitors.

The Judge approved the sale of the O'Farrell street property to A. Aronson for $76,000. —_—— Milk Trust to Give Bonds.

The dairymen, answer- ing the complaint, declared that the company tried to frighten them into the trust and failing therein spoiled its own business w\ serving adulterated MNUTT WINS OUICK DIVORCE His Evidence Against Wife Leads Judge Kerrigan to Sever Matrimonial Ties IMANY BONDS DISSOLVED o B Superior Courts Put in a | Busy Day Settling Several Types of Domestic Rows S S During the recess hour yesterday | noon, in Judge Kerrigan's court, by | preappointment, Maxwell McNutt ap- | peared and secured a divorce from Maud Treadwell McNutt on the | grounds of desertion and cruelty.
