His early career here was associated with such artists as Billy Emerson, Charlie Reed and Billy White. In the old days they made the walls of Ma- guire’'s Theater ring with laughter, and later on they appeared at the Academy of Music on Pine street, and then at the Bush-street Theater. His name off the stage was Louis P. Banford. e SCOTT’S EMULSION. HAD TO HIDE IT A mother wrote us recently that she had to keep Scott’s Emulsion under lock and key —her children used to drink it whenever her back was turned. Strange that children should like something that is so good for them. It’s usu- ally the other way. Scott’s Emulsion makes children comfortable, makes them fat and rosy<cheeked. Perhaps that's why they like it so much—they know it makes them feel good. Well send you 2 sample, free. BCOTT & BOWNE, 405 Pear!

Crawford acted as chairman of the institute and delivered In his discourse Mr. Crawford deplored the lack of or- ganization among the teachers of Ala- meda County, and advised that a clvic body be formed to move as a political, not a partisan unit.

T0 FREE LABOR FROM POLITICS - San Francisco Typographical Union No. 21 has taken a decided stand against the officers of the union be- coming active in politics, It i{s main- tained that the safety of trades unions lies in a complete elimination of the political influences in State as welil as local bodies. At a regular meeting of San Fran- cisco Typographical Union No. 21, held last Sunday, the following letter and proposed amendment to the constitu- tion of the State Federation of Labor wgs reported by a committee and unanimously adopted: “No person shall hold office in the California State Federation of Labor who occupies any political position, whether elective or appointive.” Several reasons are offered why pol- itics should not be mixed with trades unionism. History has shown that where unions have taken an active part in politics disagreeable results have followed. While the enacement of a law such as may prevent politi- cal inclinations might work hardships on some the benefits the union would derive therefrom would make the ex- ceptions unworthy of consideration. The Milk Wagon Drivers’ Local Union No. 226 is not satisfied with the recent decision given by the board of arbitration of the Labor Council in its trouble with the Workingmen’s Co- operative Commercial Company. In a lengthy circular issued by this union many reasons are set forth why the union should not abide by the recent decision. It is probable that the mat- ter will again be brought before the council for settlement. The union al- leges that 'the Workingmen's Co-oper- ative Company, which is a company selling milk, fmposes hardships on the drivers and forces them to work many hours longer than the union’s rules call for. The circular states that the milk company can come to a speedy settlement if it wishes to abide by the constitution and by-laws of the union. The District Council of Carpenters adopted a rule at its last meeting compelling members to refrain from working during the noonhour, also that no member shall accept work at a wage undqr the fixed schedule; vio- laters will beé penalized $50. The Broommakers’ Union is loudly protesting against convict-made brooms being brought into this State from Eastern penitentiaries. It is claimed that convict-made brooms are sold at a price so low that it makes the broom industry unprofitable. The ire of the members of the Box- makers’ and Sawyers’ Union has been aroused by the number of Japanese that are being employed in the north- Crystal | ern States in the boxmaking industry. The union will work energetically to have an act passed excluding Japanese from the United States. The following committee of or- ers’ Protective Union No. 8944 which was appointed on the May picnic re- ported progress: John F. Vera, Frank C. Hen- ning, Joseph O’'Donneil, J. J. Boyce, D. L. Long, Joseph Kelly, C. Eisenhut, John McManus and Michael Fox. Builders’ Contracts. Henrietta Woods (owner) with N. A.

Re- qua, president of the Oakland Bank of Savings, is critically ill at his home on Highland and Pierre Bonne avenues, in Piedmont, and grave fears are enter- tained for his recovery. So serious was his conditibn yesterday that Dr. A. S. Larkey, who is in charge of the case, feared that a fatal termination of the malady was at hand. During the night, however, the patient rallied and to- day he is reported much improved. Mr. Requas is one of the best-known business men in Oakland and was at one time president of the Central Pa- cific Railroad. His iliness is caused by heart trouble and a general physical collapse. About six months ago he was stricken while at his desk in the bank and since that time he has been grow- ing slowly weaker, until about a week ago he began to sink very rapidly. Cashier W. W. Garthwaite of the Oakland Bank of Savings said to-night that there had been a decided improve- ment in Mr. Requa’s condition during the day.

NOTHER WINS - FICHT FOR BOY Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call SPOKANE, March 27.—Baffling a score of private detectives besides a few of the city's minions, Mrs. J. H. Spalding, wife of State Senator Spald- ing of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, has re- tained possession of her four-year-old boy for more than a week and bids fair to keep the child indefinitely. Mrs. Spalding kidnaped the boy a week ago Saturday, but the facts only came to light to-day. Spalding is a wealthy steamboat man. Domestic discord resulted in the wife coming to Spokane to live some monthg ago. Spalding rctained possession of the child and left the infant in the care of his sister and the family while he attended the Legislature. Saturday last Mrs. Spalding went to Coeur d’Alene. The Senator was then en route from the Legislature. Mrs. Spald- ing completed her short visit and took the child to the tggin with her, despite the expostulations of Spalding's sister. After a stormy scene at the train the two came to Spokane. Here a hack was waiting for Mrs. Spalding who hurried the boy into the vehicle and ‘was driven away. ‘ Since ‘then the search has been un- relenting but futile. The ‘sleuths have been unable to obtain a clew since the woman and the boy entered the hack at the station. Day and night a dozen men have worked upon the case and have burned money for mes- sages and other expenses—all in vain— the woman is still missing and Spald- ing talks of giving up the search. . —_—————————— DIES IN NEVADA. \ R Tony Brunswick Succumbs to an At- tack of Pneumonia.

BOSTON, Mass.,, March 27.—“If that unfortunate gift cannot be returned, we ought to appropriate a portion of it to by a potter’s field in which to bury the' remainder half way to the anti- podes, for it is the price of blood and is not lawful for either an ancient Jew- ish or a modern Christian treasury,” {| said Dr. Charles S. McFarland of Mal- den at a meeting of Congregational clergymen to-day, referring to.John D. Rockefeller's gift of $100,000 to the American Board of Missions. “There. are those of us who feel for Lazarus,” Dry McFarland continued, “‘but we cannot furnish this one drop of water for the tongue of Dives.” In an Interview to-night Dr. James L. Barten, secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, declared that the proposed gift of $100,000 by John D. Rockefeller to the board, which has caused wide discussion, was unsolicited and spon- taneous, originating in an impulse of Rockefeller to further the work of the board. Barton said: “‘So far as I know, no person sought an interview with Mr. Rockefeller or any member of his family or any mem- ber of his staif of secretaries, and no letters were written to bring influence to bear,upon him.” —_——— MOTHER CHARGED WITH STEALING HER CHILD Charles T. Rea, Father by Adoption, Obtains Warrant for Arrvest of Mrs. Jennie Fisher. Charles T.

The child is Edna Pear] Rea, the adopted daughter of the complaining witness, and the de- fendant is the child’s mother. The child is about five years of age. Rea says that since the child was born the father, R. Gardner Fisher, a news agent at Dennison, has refused to contribute toward its support. The mother was in straitened circum- stances and Rea relieved her of the burden of keeping the child. On May 24, 1904, Rea procured adoption papers in Judge Troutt's court. At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs, Fisher called at Rea’s house and asked to see the child. She talked for a few minutes and was walking away with the child when Mrs. Hammes, the nurse, protested against it. Mrs. Fisher paid ' no attention to Mrs. Hammes' protest and disappeared with the girl. ¥ e i PIONEER PASSES AWAY. Death Claims G. L. Cobb of Guerne- ville, GUERNEVILLE, March 27.—G. L.

T. Nance regarding misdeeds of pri- vates their resignations will be de- manded and a new set of officers will be installed, according to the dictum jof the United States army officer utI | the State University. i { dhe ultimatum from Captain Nance to this effect followed a sensational scene on the university campus to- day when the military officer caught the cadets in Stanley’s company hoot- [ing and howling and otherwise dis- obeying military regulations while fol- lowing out an order to march in dou- ble-quick time. The company in ques- tion is composed of sophomores. They recelved the order from Captain Stan- ley, who is unpopular with man of them, and at once began a fake charge | on a fake enemy's ramparts, accom- panying the movement with cheers and catcalls. The sophomores did not know that Nance was in their imme- diate vicinity. They were horrifled when he appeared quickly and de- manded the names of the men gullty | of the infraction of military discipline. Non-commissioned officers of the company were at once summoned and required to give the names of offend- ing privates. With visions before them of what happened to offenders during the famous students’ riot an the campus last term, when Nance's au- thority was defled and wholesale pun- ishment followed, the non-commis- sioned officers trembled, but traditional “class loyalty” inspired them to re- fuse obedience to Captain Nance’s com- mand. They declined to give the names of the offenders. They were then informed of Captain Nance's pur- pose to demand their resignations If they continued to refuse to obey. There the conflict was allowed to rest. Captain Nance, under somewhat sim- flar circumstances last term, soon after his career as military instructor had begun, did not treat with offending students, but called President Wheel- er's attention to delinquencies and set in motion the college machinery that is intended to discipline refractory university men. It is supposed that Captain Nance will act in this instance as he did last term and that the non-commissioned officers will be called upon to surren- der their commissions and then answer for disobedience to their military in- structor’s grders. ————— LOSES LARGE SUM OF MONEY TRYING TO BEAT POOLROOMS P.

Har- ris, the senior who was detected Mst week in thefts at college and who con~ fessed to his wrongdoing, after being arrested. The faculty committee on students’ affairs has not yet considered his case, so far as is known, but the students themselves, through their own students’ affairs committee, desire that the university be purged of Harris and have acted accordingly. The, committee met this afterncom and after considering Harris’ case adopted the following resolution: Whereas, J. A. Harris, a _senior in the coi~ lege of mechanics of the University of Call- fornia, has been detected stealing from the university buildings and has pleaded ity before this committee and has wal the privilege of a trial; therefore we, the under, signed members of the undergraduate student affairs committee. recommend to the facuity committee on student affairs that J.

This is the first opportunity students of the university have had to demom~ strate their intention of assisting to regulate the student body, in conmec- tion with the work of the faculty com~- mittee on student affairs. The comimittee of students was ap- pointed by President Dehm of the As- sociated Students last week, following an election of the entire student body when it was decided to organize such a committee and entrust to it disciplinary powers.

Rich foods and sweets are tabooed and only strong. nutritious edibles will be added to the table as the sea- son advances. C. E. Hyde was to- night elected captain of the senior track team. The names of the track men on the P. V. Finch of 217 Post street, sometimes known among the sporting fraternity as “Doc” Smith, has been taught, to his sorrow, that it does not always pay to put up money for an- other man’s revenge. Two weeks ago Finch was approached by a man giv- ing the name of Harry Howard, but who was subsequently learned to be the race track habitue, “Bud” Hau- ser, and was asked to put up the money for a scheme to do the pool- rooms of the city. Hauser was accompanied by James Reynolds, and both pretended to be Postal Telegraph operators. Hauser declared that he was sore on the sporting fraternity and would hold back the racing reports a few min- utes if Finch would lend him money to bet on the horses, and the three were to share the winnings. The first move was to mulct Finch of $90 for a peculiar electrical instrument that would hold back the m , the bunko men alleging that without it the accumulated reports would over- heat the wire and cause an explosion. Finch visited a poolroom on Mar- ket street and there claims to have lost nearly $1900 in three separate bettings on reports tele- phoned by the conspirators. He al- ‘leged that the voolroom took one bet after the race was run, but the chart disproved the allegation. Finch de- clares that his suspicion was aroused by seeing Hauser in conversation with one of the poolroom partners, but there is no evidence to show that the ppolroom owners were connected with the swindle. Finch swore out warrants for the arrest of Reynolds and Hauser under the name of Howard,” and yesterday Detective Coleman arrested Reynolds. The police are looking for Hauser. Finch now declares that he considers the mopey gone, but would pay an equal amount to get even with his bilkers. He says he would Ilke to hear from any persons bunkoed by them. ——— s FAIR PLAYERS BEGIN HANDICAP TOURNAMENT Miss F. Hess Wins From.
