[N RESERVOIR Athlete Is Drowned While Giving Young Lady a Les-| Natatorial Skill TS Y son. in Special Disp to The Call. FRESNO, Aug. 26.—Fred Carpenter, patrolman of the San Joaquin Com s reservoir and ditch at Nort! Fork, drowned this afternoon while teaching Miss Helen Dowie to swim. Carpenter was an expert swimmer and during the summer, when outing parties stop at the powerhouse for a few daye on their trip, the principal eport is swimming in the lake at the head of the reservoir. Carpenter al- wave volunteered his services and was such a trusted man in the water that none feared to go into deep water with him. Miss Dowie, another young lady and George Marty were enjoying the cool waters, the girls taking lessons from Carpenter. He and Miss Dowie were out in the deep water when Carpenter was seized by a cramp and went to the bottom. Although Miss Dowie had never swum a stroke in her life, she managed to keep herself above the sur- face while Marty obtained a boat and rescued her. X Help came from the powerhouse and the party searched three hours before it found the body of Carpenter, which eventually appeared on the opposite side of the lake. X That Carpenter should have been at- tacked by a cramp and sink was a surprise to all, but how Miss Dowie saved herself is a still greater cause for wonder. Deputy Coroner W. A. Bean left to- day for the scene. —— s Senator Hoar's Note.— In Washington one day Senator Hoar met an acquaintance who stopped to inform him that a very dear friend was seriously ill with ap- ‘ pendicitis. Senator Hoar was very solicitious and determined to write a note of sympathy at once. He had hardly finished the note before word came to him that his friend was il1 with acute indigestion instead of ap- pendicitis. Senator Hoar tore up the first note and sent the following in -its place: “I am very sorry to hear that you are ill, but am glad that the trouble is with the table of contents rather than with the appendix.”—Ex- change. £ ———————————— Nature sometimes saves a woman the trouble of making a fool of a man. was DENVER CHOICE OF THE MINERS Delegates to Portfand Con- vention Select Colorado’s | Capital for Headquarters PORTLAND, Aug. 26.—The American | Mining Congress has relapsed into the | routine of the official programme af- er having spent the greater part of | twenty-four hours in a hard fought contest over the location of the per- manent headquarters, which terminat- ed at 1:20 o’clock this afternoon with the decision in favor of Denver. | Preceding the vote on thevquesnon Iot the permanent headquaftters there was a love feast among the delegates from Salt Lake and Denver, each dele- gate expressing great regret over the unhappy occurrence of. yesterday aft- ernoon, when uncomplimentary words were bandied from one delegation to the other because of the fact that the Mormon question had been interjected into the debate for the permanent headquarters. The olive branch was first extended by Judge C. W. Powers of Salt Lake, who in a few words expressed regret for any hasty words he had used in his address yesterday afternoon. Lafe Pence of Lewiston, Idaho, who was the chief speaker for the Denver dele- gatlon yesterday, accepted the token of peace from Judge Powers, and in a straightforward manner impressed upon his hearers the extent of his re- gret for having said things, though un- intentionally, that had created ill feel- ing among the delegations. The dove of peace having extended its wings over the proceedings, the question of the permanent headquarters was de- bated pro and con with the result that Denver carried off the palm by a good majority, which, upon motion of Judge Powers, was made unanimous. A feature of the afternoon session was the election of Joseph T. Corn- forth of ‘Alaska as an honorary life member of the congress. The honor was a token of appreciation of Corn- forth’s services to the mining industry in that he was one of the founders of the American Mining Congress and has given it substantial and valuable as- sistance in its growth since, ‘When the congress reconvened at half-past two James W.

Secretary Taft briefly reviewed the issues and history of the parties and discussed their platforms. He eulogized the President highly, say- ing: Unable reaily to attack the record of the Republican party, unable really to take any round which makes a combatable issue with he Republicans on the main question, the Demccrats now seek to attack the President and to charge him with violations of the con- stitution, with a eadstrong disposition to rule or ruin, with a tendency to involve the coun- try in foreign wars, with being, in other words, ar. unsafe man. In all my experience I nevér have met a man in authority who has less pride of opinion in the judgments that he has formed in respect to situations presented to him for action than has Theodore Roose- valt. 1 have never met 4 man who was S0 amenable to reason, so anxious to reach a just conclusicn and =0 'willing to sacrifice a_pre- vicusly formed opinion as the present Presl- dent of the United States. He weighs every argument which is brought before him, and It by reason of the lmpid character ' of his nature, woich leads him to speak as he thinks, he gives instant expression to an opinion which subsequent facts show him to be erroneous, h changes as only a man can change who an earnest seekér for truth, with the sincerest desire to do right. He 1% not a tyrant, but he is a leader. He does believe in 4 strenuous life. He does be- lieve in doing things. He believes that a man who is given brain and muscle is charged with the responsibility of making the most of them and of doing as much With both as possible for his fellow men, He represents as high a type as there is in the cpuntry of energetic American manhood. No mun ever at in the Presidential chair more anxious to avold war or conflict with fereign nations than he. His impulsiveness of manner and his quickness of thought and speech co-exist with a real conservatism of action that makes it as certain as it was under Mr. McKinley that no policy will be foliowed needlessly exposing the interests of the coun- war. try to the peril ; i d walt until he has a free /Ah, but it is hand, after the election, then you will see him in his true light. It is difficult to answer such a gratuitous suggestion, founded as It must be on the assumption that a man llke Theodore Roosevelt, whose candor and honesty are so patent that he almost thinks aloud, has been playing & part for three yars and is only awaiting the success at election to throw off the mask. It is too ridiculous for discussion. —————— livered a lengthy address on “The Ine vestor in Mines."” To-morrow is the closing day of the congress. The committee on nomina- tion will report to the convention their recommendation of nine members for the board of directors for the ensuing year. While it is not a necessary act, it Is believed that the convention will also recommend to the directors their choice for president and secretary. For the former place only the name of J. mentioned. For the secretaryship Ir- win Mahon has repeatedly announced that he will not be a candidate and the only avowed candidate for the place is Philip S. Bates of Oregon. —_——— During 1903 there were launched in Great Britain 738 vessels, of 1,342,508 tons, which compares with 717 ships of 1,542,698 tons in 1902.

Richards of Idaho, incumbent, is NonfipafiofisMeet Continued From Page 1, Column 4. this afternoon, and the nominee has the ability and resources for a vigor- ous campaign on his own behalf. Re- cent political events have signified his popularity {n Santa Clara County and he will surely hold the full measure of the party strength in San Mateo County. The nomination of Duncan E. Me- Kinlay for Congress in the Second Dis- trict is highly commended. He deserves the support of every Republican in the district on account of the excellent service that he has rendered to the people of California in general and the Republican party in particular. The citizens of Sacramento County are elated over his nomination, as they comprehend that his vigorous intellect and persuasive personality will enable him to accomplish something in Con- gress for the benefft of the Sacramento Valley. It is remarked that the only legislation obtained by the- present Democratic Representative of the Sec- ond District was an amendment abol- ishing the canteen at the Veterans' Home. Every county of the Second District was fully and ably represented in the Republican Congressional Con- vention that nominated Duncan Mec- Kinlay. In the Democratic Congress- ional Convention of the Second held here last Tuesday the county of Marin was not represented at all and only a few delegates from other counties attended. As conclusive proof that the Democratic Convention of the Second District was a small affair the fact is eited that it was held in the ladies’ parlor of the St. George Hotel, Santa Cruz. Nearly all the delegates to the Re- publican State Convention and all the known Senatorial aspirants left Santa Cruz for their respective homes this afternoon. Frank P. Flint goes to Los Angeles and George A. Knight and Henry T. Oxnard go to San Francisco. The executive committee and the new advisory committee of the Re- publican, State Committee held a ses- sion at the St. George Hotel this after- noon and topics relating to registration were fully considered. General George Stone presided at the meeting. ———— GIVE ¥ENTERTAINMENT IN AID OF PARISH FAIR Men of St. Charles Church Present a Most Attractive Programme at Elntracht Hall An entertainment was given last night in Verelp Eintracht.

CROP REPORTS PLEASE BUYERS Enlargement of Fall Distri- butions Caused by Cheer- ing Advices From the West i NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Bradstreet to- morrow will say: Rather better west- ern crop reports and the advance'of the fall season have brought an in- creased number of buyers to nearly all western and eastern markets. This has resulted in an enlargement of fall dis- tributions, which, however, have pro- ceeded along conservative lines, with staple products notably In best de- mand. A feature of the week through- out the country has been clearance sales of summer goods by retailers which have enlarged distribution in this line, no doubt to be later on re- flected in collections. Industrial re- sumptions are numerous and the num- ber of operatives involved is consider- able. The labor situation is still rather complex, a large number of additional building hands striking in New York. A rather better tone is noted in tex- tile circles, the effect of a numerous resumption of cotton mills and the disposition to take hold shown by buy- ers of textiles at first and second hands. What few railroad earnings are available point to slight gains over the corresponding month a year ago. Raw wool is rather in better demand and firm, with scoured wools strong. Lumber is fairly active at the North- west, but rather quiet at the East, where building trade troubles affect distribution, Business failures for the week ending August 25 in the United States number 285 against 203 last week and 142 for the corresponding week last year. In Canada failures for the week num- ber 26 against 25 last week and 25 for the corresponding week last year. ‘Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending August 25 aggregate 1,084,333 bushels, against 1,703,047 last week and 3,245,056 last year. From July 1 to date the exports aggregate 10,634,- 151 bushels against 25,078,289 last year, and 36,777,207 in 1902. —_——— NEW OFFICIAL HONORED BY FELLOW PHYSICIANS Superintendent Williamson of South- ern California Insane Asylum Ban- queted at Bohemian Club.

The San Mateo ENTHUSIASM MARKS PROCEEDINGS OF CONVENTION SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 26.—Time adds to the snarl in the Twenty-ninth Sen- atorial District. When the district cen- vention met this morning it was an- ticipdted that the clashing interests would be harmonized. But the Santa Cruz County Central Committee, dis- satisfied with the outlook and antici- pating such a contingeney, took snap | action from which ‘'was born a dizzy legal tangle. As a resuit S. H. Rambo and Christian Hoffman, both of this city, hold certificates of nomination for State Senator, but which will be recog- nized by the Secretary of State is a question. Under the call of the State Central Committee for the State Convention a clause Wwas inserted in which it was | stated that the county delegates to the State Convention would constitute the various Legislative conventions unless the county committees of the various counties composing the several Assem- bly and Senatorial districts had taken legal action for the constituticn of sep- arate Legislative conventions. Action for such separate conventions the Santa Cruz Central Committee claimed it had taken. Chairman Stone of the State Central Committee claimed that the county committee had not taken such action and ordered that the dele- gates to the State convention from San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties, which compose the Twenty-ninth Senatorial District, meet this morning and nomin- ate a candidate for Senator. The delegates from the two counties named met in the Casino this morn- ing, but the Hoffman faction of the Santa Cruz delegation refused to recog- nize the legality of the meeting as composed of the delegates to the State convention and presented a list of nine other delegates selected this morning by the County Central Committee of Santa Cruz, which the county commit- tee said were properly accredited to the Senatorial convention. These nine men are L. Dake, ‘George Radeliff, Harry 8. Wanger, Harry Lucas, W. C. Hoffman, H. F. Fanneuf, S. A. Palmer, A. G. Lay and H. F. Kron. The Rambo faction of the Santa Cruz | delegation refused tqg recognize these ninc, as did the seven delegates from San Mateo, which favored Henry Ward Brown for Sen or. The Brown and Rambo delegates then assembled and elected George Ross of Redwood chair- delegaticn® cast its seven votes for Brown and the Rambo faction of the Santa Cruz delegation four votes for Rambo. Brown, however, stated that as one half of the delegates of the two countleljfinumufinx the district had not rns‘ heir vote for him he could not consider that he had been nomin- ated. Therefore, he refused to accept a certificate from the seven delegates of San Mateo, constituting a majority 4Delegates From Santa Cry; and San Mateo Counti: Clash Over State Senator, eg of the convention as hel ballot was taken in which f received seven votes, but : clined to consider that his n had been éffected.

Santa Clara Man Choice of the Fifth Congressional District. SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 26.—The dele- gates from the Fifth Congressional District assembled to-day immediately after the adjournment of the State convention and unanimously nomi- nated E. A. Hayes of San Jose for Congypess. The choice of the delega- tion being without opposition, the sec- retary was instructed to cast the vote of the convention for the Santa Clara man. James R. Lowe of San Jose acted as chairman of the convention ad George C. Ross of Redwood City was chosen secretary. The nomimating and seconding speeches were brief and to the point. Loud cheers were given when Hayes arose in response to the calls of the delegates to make a speech. “Gentlemen—I know that you will give me your support,” said Hayes, “and feel confident that we can deem the Fifth District from the hands of the Democratle party. As long as I have your support and the support of my fellow Republicans of the Fifth I know it will be plain salling. T don't want te tell you all the good things I will do, but I will promise to uphold the principles of the great party and work for the betterment of the people of our district.” The employes of the San Jose Her- ald and Mercury immediately sent a congratulatory telegram to Hayes, ex- pressing to him their heartfelt wishes at his good fortune. The telegram was re- as follows: “E."A. Hayes, Sea Beach Hotel, Santa Cruz: Congratulations to our next Congressman, with affectionate wishes and loyal support of 150 of the hap- piest emvnloyes in California.”™ FRIENDS PAY LAST TRIBUTE Thousands From All Walks of Life Gather at the Bier of Peter J.

Their method was to advertise in Eastern and Southern papers that they had a system to beat the races. They would either sell their system., which they claimed to have had copy- righted, from $250 to $10, or they would work on a commission. They would have their clients send their money out here and they would place it in the local poolrooms and take a 10 per cent commission from ft. Thousands followed the remains of Peter J. Dunne to their last resting place at Holy Cross Cemetery yester- day. St. Brigid’s Church, where the | solemn rites were held, was crowded. ‘While the requiem high mass was be- ing sung belated mourners arrived and ' crowded the street in front of the edi- fice. There were men from all walks of life, but they were united in this, they had all known and liked Peter J. Dunne and were grieved over his un- timely death. Politicians, policemen, | lawyers, doctors, newspaper men and | laborers stood side by side and bared | their heads as the coffin was®borne by. | They furnished a touching proof of Captain Dunne’s power to make and keep friends. In the crowd were four Chinamen who had been employed by the Dunne Brothers. Their faces were full of sor- row. | The pall bearers were Garret W. Mc- Enerney, William H. Leahy, J.

The funeral procession left the late captain’s residence, 1322 Leavenworth street, at 10 o'clock. It was preceded byVa procession ffrmed of members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Ig- natian Council, Y. M.

There the remains of | one of the best liked men in the city were laid to rest. One incident broke rudely into the | solemnity of the occasion. A dispute i arose between the union and non-unjon hackmen as the funeral procession left | 4 their layout |and said it was on the same plan as Inspector O’Connell investigated in the Parrott building the many racing get-rich-quick con- cerns that infested the city two years ago. The schemers were notifled that they would have to desist their prace tice and they promised to do so. Letters and money orders, ete., ad- i dressed to the Vance System Company will be marked fraudulent and re- turned to the senders. —————— The Baptists of the United States, according to the latest official re- turns, number 4,330,462.

It is much easier for a woman to confide in the average man than in the average woman. She knows that the man will re- spect her confidences and keep them to himself. He is strong, has more experience of the world and can help the woman who needs advice. There is every reasom why women should not trust their delicate constitutions in the hands of unskilled persons. It requires a thorough medical education to appreciate and understand the womanly organism.
