SHEET MUSIC—PHONOGRAPHS. 1 | | - Aéctivity in the ranks of the 0dd Fel- | lows indicates the early coming of the hosts.that will deliberate at the annual | session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. i The great Odd Fellows' building at Market and Seventh streets presented a | busy scene last evening. The executive | committee that is completing the ar- | rangements for the event and the sev- eral committees of Rebekahs that will entertain the visitors were in session and it was near midnight when the conferences adjourned. A matter of special gratification to the executive committee was the tender of the services of the Citizens’ Commit- tee, Mayor Schmitz chairman, which did such effective work prior to and during the Knights Templar Conclave. W. de St. Paul Seitz, secretary of the committee, appeared before the execu- tive committee of the Odd Fellows and on behalf of the Citizens’ Committee tendered its services and stated that it would be glad to confer with the Odd Fellows in an effort to further the in- terests of the order, the city and the | State. The tender was accepted with | thanks and to-morrow afternoon at 3:30 o’clock at the Mayor’s office in the City Hall the Citizens’ Committee will confer with a committee of Odd Fel- lows that will be appointed for the purpose. At the meeting last evening it was stated that the session of the Sover- eign Grand Lodge will bring not less | than 35.600 strangers to the city. Of | Odd Felliows there will be about 10,000. The appointment of committees to re- | ceive the incoming visitcrs and assign them to their headquarters is proceed- ing. But a few days remain in which to complete the preparations, but the executive committee is confident that all will be in readiness when the first delegation arrives in the city. ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED. Among those that are active in pre- paring for the reception of the oncom- ing Odd Fellows are Mrs. Nellie Stick- ney, a member of .the committee on Rebekah day; C. W. Savage, a member of the Santa Rosa lodge; Captain J. F. Chappell, aide-de-camp of the depart- ment staff; H. A. Towle, lieutenant col-4 onel cf the Secont Regiment Patriarch Militant: Major F. P.

HEAR REPORTS 0F BASIN FIRE| Redwood Park Commission- ers Vote to Keep Men on Wateh Until Rains Begin | ENMBERS STILL SMOLDER Sempervirens Club Wishes to Build Handsome Lodge for Members in Big Grove Commissioner Kron yesterday told his- associates -in the State Redwood Park Commission, having charge of the | Big Basin Park, that the recent forest fires covered about one-third of the en- tire area of the 3900 acres included within the park boundaries. -The com- missioner’s narrative was not without elements of public interest. The State paid $250,000 for the park in the first instance. It has expended certain sums to make it accessible. Telegraphic ac- counts' of the forest fires had it that | very few large sémpervirens trees were | permanently injured. Commissioner | Kron attributed to the thick bark or | “jackets” of the trees their marvelous escape. Through the rind, practically | impervious to ordinary fires, the flames | “Warden Pilkington reports,” said Kron, “that the flames jumped as much far from the main conflagration.” Professor Dudley of Stanford Univer- sity, the secrétary of the commission, | told how the Stanford students had | rallied to ass#St fighting the towering | flames in the Big Basin. They worked | with railroad trackmen and the small | force ,of men that Warden Pilkington | had in the park when the fire was dis- | covered sweeping over the 1600-foot ridge frcm Pescadero Creek, destroy- ! ing houses, bridges, vineyards and grain fields. | WHIRLS OF FLAME. l There were whirls of wind, while the | fires were raging, that twisted off the | tops of redwood and oak trees—torna- does caused by the intense heat. Fallen trunks of trees fwere converted into mounds of pure white ashes. By night the fires died down. In the morning the north wind blew strong, bringing with it the heat of the inter- icr valleys, drying all inflammable ma- ! terial, so that the terrific leaps of the flames were from blazing trees to areas of combustible growths. Owing to the conditions mentioned by Commissioner Kron and Professor Dudley "the fire effects were strange. trees were denuded cf foliag Great billows a gorge some of flame swept down into | distance from. the | Sempérvirens' camp and underbrush and small trees there fairly melted away in the intense heat. Not far dis- | tant the #8aleas escaped unharmed and | are still green along the creeks. About 100 acres of redwcod timber in the park | was burned. ' Commissioner W. H. Mills, who pre- sided” at the meeting, elicited many facts by asking aquestions. The cost| to the State for extinguishing the fires‘ in the park will be something like | $1500. The standing dead timber in | the park served as fuel to spread the| flames more ravidly. | The commissioners. discussed the best methods for guarding the park against fires. It was agreed that it is wise to keep the undérbrush cleared away. The commissioners declared that no fire trail could possibly have stayed the progress of the flames while the north wind was blowing. Such an ex- pedient as a fire trail fifty feet wide ! might be of benefit in a Small fire, but not where the conflagration .cov- | ers an extensive territory. Professor Dudley reported that the| fires are still smoldering in _various parts of Big Basin Park and a stiff wind would fan the embers into flames. In view of this it was voteds at the suggestion of Commissioner Mills, that ten men be kept in. the park to fight fires and put in as much time as pos- sible on fire trails until the rains drench the forests thoroughly. | CLUBHOUSE IN PARK. Mrs. Lovell White, representing the Sempervirens Club, made -application, in behalf of the club, for a lease of land on which to erect a clubhouse for members. The association has five| large branches in the State. The mat- ter was taken under advisement. A question of considerabld impor- tance was raised by the application of G. H. Harrington of Santa Cruz to be | permitted to use the trails in the State park to move in materfals and to move out shakes from land that immediately adjoins the park. It was voted to in- struct the warden not to permit the trails to be used for commercial pur- | poses.

United States District Judge de Haven sat yesterday as a United States Circuit Judge to try Thomas Dayis for a felonious assault alleged to have been committed upon the person of Mrs. Emma Ames on board the steamer Alliance on October 15 of last year while she was on her way from San Francisco to hér home in Marshfield, Or. At the time _o( the | alieged outrage she was seasick her stateroom with her two children, six and four years of age, respectively. Davis left the vessel at Seattle and | was arrested *wo months later in this city by United States Secret Service Agent George W. Hazen. Horace Laws, night watchman on board of the Alliance, testified that Waiter Davis had confessed to him that he had assaulted Mrs. Ames. Mr. | journment was taken until to-day. This is the second trial, the jury ring disagreed on the first. A con- viction would have called for a death sentence or imprisonment for life.

Newhall, a| three-story frame structure at Pacific | avenue and Webster street. From the effects of smoke and water some valu- able paintings, statuary and bric-a- brac stored inside of the building were damaged. | The painters were burning off the paint on the west side of the building when a streak of flame from a scorch- ing machine entered through a crack and ignited the inside of the walls. An alarm of fire was Iimmediately trrned in. The fire engines arrived before the fire had gained any head- way. The firemen were notified not to use too much water, as the fire coud be easily subdued without it and many valuables thus saved. The building was occupied as the residence of Newhall when it stood at the corner. of Sutter street and Van Ness avenue. He vacated it some time ago and it was moved to its present location. —_—————————— Uses Charity to Swindle Public. FAn unknown woman, representing .crself as being connected with St. John’s or St. Luke's Episcopal Church, has been duping the public by selling tickets for raffles of needlework and other articles. She claims that the money is to be used for a charitable purpose. Different drugstores were | given. as places where the raffle was to be held, the woman saying that if a purchaser of a ticket did not attend | the raffleghe could learn the name of the winner by consulting The Call the next: day. Officers of these churches dvclare that the woman has no au- thority to sell tickets for them. —_—————— Are Admitted to Practice.
