Headed by a union band, a cor- tege of extraordinary length wended | its way through the district. | Mrs. Klecka and her husband were both workers at the yard. After the strike began the family was reduced | to destitution and five children were | sadly in need. The mother died on Sat- | urday. The strikers assisted in the funeral | arrangements, and when the procession started for Concordia Cemetery to-day it had the nature of a labor union event. Crowds lined the streets, and at the union headquarters the line halt- ed. Hundreds of butchers, with bared heads, stood with tears rolling down | their faces. The funeral sobered the crowds completely for a time, and for | an hour or more the police found little to do. The destitute children of Klecka will be cared for by the union. - MAKES SERIOUS CHARGE: | NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—According tnt | | { a statement made public to-day by H. H.

Abbott said that a few days ago a beef van of t Schwarzschild & Sulz- berger Company, with a load of dressed beef for a large Fourteenth street res- taurant, was attacked at Forty-first street and First avenue. When the meat reached its destination it is al- leged it was found that the curtain at » b of the wagon had been lifted, presumably during the attack, and that somebody had thrown - carbolic | acid and chloroform over the meat. The meat thus made unfit for use was worth about $250. S ALLIANCE RETALIATES. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The Building Trades Alliance, the organization against which the lockout recently de- clared by the Building Trades Employ- | ers’ Association was directed, to-day made its first move since the lockout | was established by calling out all the ! men employved on four of the large! buildings in course of construction in! this city.

THIRD TO SUC- S STILL ALIVE Civil War Veterans March for Hours in the Hot Sun | Through Boston’s Streets LRER ecial Dispatch to The Call. . Aug. 16.—If anything were needed to prowe that the Grand Army of the Republic is still in fact a mighty host, it was to be found to-day, when, with half a million civilians looking on, 26,000 survivors of the Union forces of the Civil War assembled here from all sections of the United States, and marched through the streets of Boston. Five and one-half hours were required for the parade to pass a given point. It was a severe strain on the old soldiers, but generally the veterans bore the hardship well. More than three score of them dropped from the ranks frem exhaustion and heat pros- tration and were cared for at the hos- pitals. The death of one old soldier marred the otherwise happy day. Col- onel John P. Pyron, a member of John A. Dix Post of New York, died from heart failure induced by exhaustion. At least spectators, mostly women, fainted during the parade and many persons were slightly injured and had their clothing torn in the crush. The spectacle presented by the marching gray-haired soldiers was one calculated to thrill and everywhere the army was received with applause. A the columns of blue swept up Beacon Hill, closely following the northerly side of the famous Boston Common, they were reviewed from the State House by Governor Bates, who was accompanied by distinguished personages, including Governor Van Sant of Minnesota, Former Governors W. Murray Crane and George S. Bout- well of Massachusetts, Henry C. Lodge and Booker T. Washington, At the Ci Hall Mayor Patrick A. Collins reviewed the parade, having as his guests the Mayors of a dozen cities. Among those who witnessed the pa- rade from Tremont street was General Nelson A. Miles. At the end of the route Commander in Chief John C. Black of the G. A. R. held his review. Several former Con- federate officers occupied places in the stand and two thousand children jolned in “Dixie” and the “Battle Hymn 'of the Republie.” Miss Emma Girard of Los Angeles, Cal, and the Veteran Drum Corps, headed the Department of California. Miss Girard carried a huge unfurled flag. She is a tvpical Western girl, enthusiastic in her devotion to the Grand Army of the Republic. She ame all the way from the Pacific Coast to carry Old Glory at the head of the veterans of her State, of whom she is justly proud. An odd sight was presented by a woman parading with the comrades of Post 8, Department of Pennsylvania. She was Mrs. May F. Patterson and she marched by the side of her hus- nd, William." The Pattersons now side in California, but the husband still maintains his membership in Post 8 and he and his wife were invited to parade with that organization. The departments of Callfornia and Nevada marched-together and in the following order: Department Commander C. T. Bliss, Adjutant General John H. Roberts and his staff—J. A. Osgood, M. R. Flint. J. A. Barrows, D. P. Chapman and C. H. Dickey; George H. Thomas Post No. 2, 150 men; California Volun- teer Veterans' Association, forty men; delegations from George G. Meade, Lyon, Appomattox and Lincoln posts. The two States totaled about 200 men. s A ENTERTAIN CALIFORNIANS, Delegates From San Francisco Grand Army Posts Visit Lexington. BOSTON, Aug. 16.—Concord and Lex- ington were visited to-day by a delega- tion from George H. Thomas Post No. 1, Grand Army of the Republic, of San Francisco. In the morning the dele- gates from the San Francisco post were met at Lexington Center by a commit- tee from George G. Meade Post No. 11 and shown over the historical spots, | i LOS ANGELES, ' County, | Legislature KNOWLAND THE NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS; IS IN THE LEAD IN THE SOUTH Senator Gets No Encouragement in South. Convention Gives Little Hope to Bard. Mt Lo S Special Dispateh to The Call. Aug. 16.—The Re- publican county convention was held to-day and the result is not particu- larly” favorable to the aspirations of Senator Bard for re-election.” This is not another way of saying that the forces behind the candidacy of Frank P. Flint have won the day, because the resuilt of the Southern California te, or even the vote of Los Angeles cannot be definitely deter- mined. { That the Flint forces were in com- mand of the convention there is no doubt, but whether the nominees of the various Assembly and Senatorial districts will consider themselves bound by the instructions which were given them, not by their respective | districts but by the convention as a whole, which had nothing to do with the various districts, is a _question. Upon that question depends the -omplexion of the Southern California delegation in the next Legislature. Frank P. Flint will ‘e a large ma- jority of the vote of this county, more than the Bard people had thought possible, but whether he will have a sufficient number will depend upon { the construction which the various nominees put upon the instructions given them. In only two embly districts were positive instructions | given the nominees for Assemb to vote for anybody. In eighth District Assemblyman Johnstone was directed to | Bard | in the Seventy-third J. P. Transue was instructed to vote for Flint. The other nominees are not bound by any other instructions than those given them by the convention as a whole, and when the time comes they probably will vote as they see fit. Cer- | tain it is that Bard has not more than | four certain votes from Los Angeles County and he may have only two; of the latter number he is assured. | Los Angeles delegation in the will be as follows, the preference for United States Senator being also given: W. A. vote for MBLYMEN. | | bambiy | AS Sixty-seventh District—John A. Goodrich, med by Dboth eides, probably for Bard. Sixty-eighth District—W. snstone, for Bard Sixty-ninth District aimed by to Flint, ventieth DI -N. W. Thompson of Al- both sides, probably tied uj int District—P. A. Stanton, for Seventy-s-cond District—H. 8. G. McCart- for F venty-third t District—J. P. Transue, for venty-fourth District—Fred Houser, Flint. Sc.enty-Aifth District—J. H. Krimminger, Flint, for tor STATE SENATORS. Thirty-fifth District—H. A. Broughton, for Bard. Thirty-seventh District—H. | Flint An analysis of the foregoing ticket shows that Bard will receive the cer- tain support of the Assemblyman in the Sixty-eighth District and the Sen- ator in the Thirty-fifth District. He is reasonably certain of the vote of Good- rich in the Sixty-seventh Assembly District, and may get the support of Thompson in the Sixty-ninth Assembly District, but that is all he can hope to get from Los Angeles County. His managers have stated throughout the campaign that if Bard can carry three votes from Los Angeles he will win, but they have refused to give any other figures. He is certain of two votes and may get a third, but that is not by any means certain. Even if he gets it the vote of Los Angeles County will stand E. Carter, for pledged in the Sixty-ninth District to both sides, but how he stands person- ally is known only to himself, and he will not talk. Relying on their strength whole body and without among the Assembly and Senatorial districts, the county cenvention as a whole passed a resolution instructing for Flint, and in order to forestall any resolution in the various smaller con- ventions in favor of any other candi- date a resolution was adopted to the effect that all resolutions presented be referred without reading to the com- mittee on resolutions of the general convention. This was, of course, a po- litical trick, because the county con- vention as such had nothing whatever to do with the various district conven- tions, but the trick worked, and the re- sult was that only district was a resolution opposing Flint adopted. It is claimed by the Flint supporters that to-day's convention settles the Senatorial fight, but the Bard workers 0o not admit that that is trye. The act that no speecific instructions were given the various candidates except as before indicated leaves the matter open. The present indications are that when the Southern California legislative del- egation meets to caucus on the Sena- torial question the uninstructed dele- gation of three from San Diego County will hold the balance of power, and upon that condition may hinge the Congressional fight between Ward and Smith in the Eighth Congressional Dis- trict. in the dividing it —_————— Missouri's Judicial Ticket: JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Aug. 16.— The Republican Judiclal State Con- vention to-day nominated the follow- ing ticket: For Judge of the preme Court, Henry Lamm of Sedalia; for Judge of the Kansas City Court of | Appeals, James M.

All great chiefs were | at their respective stumps on the fall | of the tomahawk calling the represen- | tatives together. | After the routine of opening the | Great Council for the transaction of | business the great sachem made his | long talk to the great representatives. | It was an exhaustive review of the work of the past great sun. He con- gratulated the order upon the growth it has made, the number of adoptions being 3599, but regretted that there was the report of many suspensions and he urged all tribes to do all that can be done to prevent suspensions in future. He expressed himself in favor of an organizer to build up the order in this reservation where no tribes exist. He stated .that the order has grown to such dimensions that the great sachem cannot visit all the tribes and urges that the work be divided between the | four leading great chiefs. He com- , mended the work of the recently estab- lished Board of Relief in this city, | spoke in high terms of the incumbent great chief of records and urged that when a competent official is secured for that very important chieftaindy, | “the fraternal crown should not be| |torn from his brow.” Much of his talk was devoted to official acts. SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS YEAR. | From the long talk of the great chief | of records, Porter L. Bliss, it appears | that during the last twelve moons the | net increase was 1972, making the total | membership in this reservation 13,177. | The amount pald for relief of brothers of the order during that period was | 347,865 and amount paid for the burfal | of the dead yvas $8087. The assets of the order amount to $214,726. His talk | | also showed that the banner tribe in | membership is Altahmos No. 87 of thls} city, with 455 members at the close | | of the reports to the speaker's office. | { Iroquois No. 35 of Stockton follows | next with 425 members. Of the 95 tribes | forty-nine have a membership in ex- | | cess of 100. | The other great chiefs presented their reports, the reading of which occupied the entire session J. J. Bryan of Manzanita Tribe, Wil- | liam Moran of Modoc Tribe and W. T. | | Lyons of Altahmos Tribe were ap- pointed a committee to select three teams from among the local tribes to exemplify before the Great Council the work of the three degrees. At 11 o'clock to-day the special order of business will be the election of great | chiefs for the ensuing great sun. In the | natural order of things C. S. Davis of Angels Camp should, by reason of the fact that he occupies the second high- est position in the order,. become the next great sachem, but there is some talk of placing in obposition to him one of the past great sachems, who during his incumbency proved himself one of the most energetic and popular | chiefs the order ever had. A. D. Mason will undoubtedly be advanced to the stump of great senior sagamore. It is stated that for the station of great junior sagamore there will be several candidates, the most prominent being Julius S. Godeau of Seminole Tribe of | this city. The great contest will be for the office of zreat chief of records, | there being three candidates in the fleld | ; —Porter L. Bliss, the incumbent; Fred B. Swan and Oscar Seavey. There are a number who seek the smaller chief-| | taincies and the honor of being chosen | as representative to the Great Cohncil of the United States. | COUNCIL BRAND KINDLED. | The council brand of the Great Coun- | ; cil of the Degree of Pocahontas was| also kindled yesterday in the tepee on Post street. There were present about presentatives, also all_the great | Great Pocahontas Minnie Betts | presiding. The entire forenoon session | was taken up in organization, and in the afternoon the reports of the great | Pocahontas and other great chiefs were | presented and read.
