NEW YORK, May 28.—A communica- tion has been issued to the managers and agents of the Equitable Life Assur- ance Society by President Alexander re- lating to the recent ruling of Justice Maddox in the suit of Franklin B. Lord | against the society, and embodying an opinion of counsel representing the so- clety as to the scope and effect of the | court’s action in restraining the carry- mination of the action on its merits. The | communication says: 1f the opinion of Mr. Justice Maddox stands s a correct interpretation of the legal status of this soclety, & single stockholder has the legal right to defy the wishes of all the re- maining shares and of the board of directors | and of ‘the policy holders and to prevent any | concession whatsoever to the claims of policy holders to & share in the management of tue assets of this soclety. The amended charter now before the super- intendent of insurance for his approval em- bodies the unanimous results of the views of the members of the board and confers upon the policy holders the right to elect a_majority of the board. It would, in our opinion, be most injurious to the interests of the society and to its future welfare and its permanent prosperity If the amended charter should mnot be carried into effect by reason of the infune- tion granted by Justice Maddox, and we are firmly of the opinion that the appelate courts will_decline to approve of the views expressd by Mr. Justice Maddox as to the valldity of e proceedings of this board in adopt! amended charter.

OAKLAND, May 28.—The unveiling and blessing of the beautiful statuary recently received by the St. Francis de Sales Church of this city was attended with impressive ceremony at that church to- night. The Right Reverend Vicar General Father J.J. Prendergast delivered the ser- mon of the evening, and was assisted by | the most prominent members of the Cath- olic clergy of this section of the country. The statuary consists of six pieces rep- | resenting “‘Sacred Heart of Jesus,” “Im- maculate Heart of Mary,” “The Sistine | Madonna” and two of the “Adoring An- | gels.”” The statues come from Carrara, | Italy, where they were designed and made mem plans taken there three years ago | by Rev. Father McSweeney of St. Fran- , cis de Sales Church. | Rev. Father John J. Cantwell celebrated solemn vespers, assisted by Father Cran- - well and Father Prout. Father Cantwell | also acted as master of ceremonies for the occasion. The sermon was preached by Very Rev. Father J.J. Prendergast of San Francisco, who took as his text the words, “Keep my commandments.” The priests in the sanctuary were Father | Yorke, Father Riordan, Father Pius, Fa- ther Bergeretti, Father Butler and Father O’Mahoney. After the sermon the statues were un- veiled and blessed by Vicar General Pren- dergast and a solemn benediction was be- ::lowed by him, thus ending the ceremo- es. OAKLAND.

Hallett, who i has just been elected permanent class president of the class of 1905, Univer- | sity of Californial Hallett’'s idea will ! be submitted to the college authorities, and if their consent Is obtained the in- novation will be made. The funds for this purpose are avail- ! able, in part at least, if the class of '05 the recent commencement week, for | class apparently favors such action. Members will pass upon it and the of- ficers will then act. President Hallett has just completed the task of preparing a report of the class expenses and its receipts during commencement week. The class broke all records in the matter of profitable projects which it fostered during that week, and also for expense incurred in making notable the various class af- fairs—the class ball, picnic, extrava- ganza, programme and other features. “There was criticism of the class for the failure of some of its members to graduate,” said Hallett to-day, “but there has been none, I believe, regard- ing the eharacter of its class affairs during commencement week, and we are highly gratified at the result as shown by the financial statement. The total expenses incurred are divided as follows: Programme, $40150; senior ball, $20990; picnic, $8160; morning committee, $140; extravaganza, $935 28; general expénses, $215. Total, $1983 28. The total receipts were $2 95, leav- ing a net profit of $68167. Of this amount about $150 will be set aside for permanent class expenses, and I think $500 may be used to advantage in establishing a student postoffice. This would require the use of a number for each sti.dent in the student catalogue and a corresponding number on his box in the postoffice. The postoffice would be in the basement of the new Califdr- nia Hall, where the co-operative store is to be moved. It is desirable to have such a postoffice at the students' head- quarters.” POCATELLI HAS TURN OF SPEED George Nethercott’s champion grey- hound Pocatelli showed his old form at Union Coursing Park yesterday, winning the deciding course in the class stake from his kennel mate, La Rosa. The up- country greyhound had,a high turn of speed, defeating in turn Gambit, Tom King, Frank C and finally La Rosa. Barney Rey, from the kennel of B. Nethercott, won the reserve stake from Ina Cissus. The class reserve went to Aeolus, which defeated Flower Girl. There were an unusual number of up- sets in the betting, but none at long odds. The totalizator, an Australian betting machine patterned after the paris mu- tuels, was tried for the first time at a coursing meeting. The machine is hard- ly adapted to coursing. Half the dogs go out each round, so the bettor who waits until only two remain has a great- er chance to pick the winner than the man who wagers at the start, when there are sixty-four in the running. All the dogs do not start at one time, as in a horse race. The ladies’ day champion stake, which will be run next Sunday, Is expected to attract a particularly strong fleld. The results of yesterday's running, with Judge P. J. Rellly’s official scores, follow: Class stake—Friendless Boy beat The Ref- erce, 4-2; Rocked Asleep beat Lost Chord, 12-3; La Rosa beat The Duke, 6-0; Tillle R beat Gold Chain, 5-0; Patched Up beat Reck- less Acrobat, 4-3; Quita beat Rector, 5-3; Hu son beat Duhallow, 5-0; Valley Pride beat Lan- cashire Lad, 3-0; Tom King beat Barge, 4-: Pocatelll beat Gambit. 6-1; Pomona beat Fo: hunter, 6-0; Frank C a bye; Frisky Barbara withdrawn.

Knowland of this district to-night de- livered one of the series of lectures that |'has been arranged by Carpenters’ Union { No. 36, Ministers, politicians, statesmen and business men have been invited to deliver addresses upon labor topics, and Mr. Knowland to-night told about the Government and labor. He said in part: Nearly seven years' experience in public life hus impressed upon me the desirability of com- ing in frequent contact with the people, and occasions such as this afford the opportunity. By association We learn that, aiter all, we are | worklng with the same objects in view, al- i though honest differences may exist as to methods. In these days -of enlightenment B | public official, if insincere, can deceive the peple long, but if he manifests & disposition to be straightforward, keeping in touch with hie constituency, even though perhaps lacking in ability, there is a disposition to lend him encouragement. Honesty in public life is just as essential as honesty in business life. California, and in fact the whole FPacific Coast, is numerically weak in the House of Representatives. From the coast, including California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, ldaho and Montana, we have but siXteen Congress- | men,” New York alone has thirty-seven, Penn- sylvania thirty-two, Illinois thirty-five and Ohio twenty-one. I call shis to your particular attention that you may understand the dif- ficulties your congressional delegation will en- counter in its efforts to obtain legislation to prevent the unrestricted jmmigration of Japa- nese. This is a vital question to the working- men of California, because they are the direct sufferers from the competition of Japanese cheap labor. But we must bear in mind that California has but eight representatives in the House, & smail fraction of three hundred and eighty-six. Many of the members are from | States where a Japanese is seidom seen. In no State in the Unlon, outside of California, and perhaps Oregon and Washington, does the | Japanese question yet present a serious aspect, but this condition does not lessen, in the slight- est degree, the seriousness of the evil in Cali- fornia and the other coast States. The South, according to reports from Washington, is com’ plaining of a shortage of labor, and this condi- tion will make it more difficult to obtaln con- gressional action. It will only be a question of time, however, unless immediate action is taken that the workingmen of other States will find the problem brought to their doors. To my mind the immigration arriving on the Atlantic Coast is almost as serious a menace to the American workingman as the influx of Japanese on this coast. We are told that the present vear will break all records. ‘Thousands are landing daily. This is one of the m serfous problems with which Congress must deal. I am in favor of the enactment of the most stringent immigration laws. This ques- tion must recelve immediate attention. The Department of Commerce and Labor, presided over by my distinguished predecessor. while the latest department to be established is by no means the least important. A general idea of the fleld allotted to this department can be gained by the following list of bureaus under its control: Census, corporations, eries. immigration, labor, manufacture gation, standards and statistics. The Coast and Géodetic Survey, the Lighthouse Board and the Steamboat Inspection Service are also in this department. A resume of the functions of some of the most important bureaus may be_of interest. The Bureau of Corporations is authorized to investigate the organization, conduct and man- agement of the business of any corporatien, joint stock company or corporate combination engaged in the interstate or foreign com- merce, except common carriers subject to the interstate commerce act. The Commissioner of Corporations is given the power to subpena and compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of documentary evidence and to_administer oaths. The Bureau of Labor is to acquire and diffuse among the people of the United States useful information on subjécts connected with labor in the most general and comprehensive sense of the word, and especially in its relations to capital, the hours of labor, the earnings of laboring men and women and the means of promoting their material, social, intellectual and moral prosperity. It collects and publishes a serles ous questions connected with industrial labor. The bureau has a reputation for impartiality and accuracy in its investigations. The Bureau of Immigration is charged with the administration of the laws relating to im- migration and the Chinese exclusion laws. Tt investigates violations of the immigration and alien contract-labor laws. The records of this bureau are of great value. —_— e SPORTSMEN ARE ENTERTAINED BY SANTA CLARA COUNTY MEN Tokens of Appreciation Are Presented C. W. Hibbard and C. M.

The new hotel is to be erected by John Conant, a well-known architect (and real estate broker of Oakland, who is the owner of the property, and ‘when completed will be leased by him to H. S. Krigbaum. The plans for the new hotel as pow prepared call for a thoroughly modern fire-proof structure containing 100 rooms, which will be erected to face Telegraph avenue. The rapld development of the bu ness center in the last two years has caused the progressive citizens of Oak- land to express approval of the plans for a City Hall. The members of the OQakland Board of Trade have entered into the campaign for a new municipal building. Alameda County real estate men are highly gratified at the honor accorded to this county in the selection of offi- cers of the California State Realty Fed- eration, which has just closed its an- nual convention at Los Angeles. Four prominent real estate brokers of Ala- meda County were elected officers of the federation, Francis Ferrier of Berkeley being elected president, F. W.

Irwin of Berkeley members of the board of di- rectors. “Beautiful Fruitvale” is the title of a new, handsomely illustrated booklet just issued by the Board of Trade of Fruitvale, which will be used fer the advertisement of the pretty eastern suburb. The pamphlet is illustrated with colored photo-engravings and con- tains a wealth of information valuable to homeseekers and prospective in- vestors. The E. P. Vandercook Company of this city has also recently issued an illustrated pamphlet entitled “A Few Pointers About Oakland.” The booklet does not, as its name would indicate, re- late entirely to the city of Oakland, but also calls the attention of the reader to the beauties of Alameda and Berkeley. It contains a number of fine engravings, among which are views of the Oakland water front and the State University. In discussing the Berkeley real es- tate market Francis Ferrier, .ne newly elected president of the California State Realty Federation, said to-day: The Berkeley real estate situation is satis- factory. Of the new tracts recently placed on the market none shew a better report than the Humphreys, the Northlands and the McGe tracts. There is also considerable movement along the line of the Key Route’s new exten- sion in the Claremont district. In this district ane entlre tract changed hands within & single week. Building operations keep pace With the movement of real estate, and there i3 a con- tinuous demand for small houses and cottages for sale on easy terms. There is also a steady demand for extra choice properties where ex- tensive improvements may be made. In short, purchasers may readily be found for good in- Vestments of any kind. The Alameda Advancement Associa. tion is receiving many favorable replies to the circular recently sent out asking the citizens of the city to aid In the establishment of a permanent bureau for the advertisement and betterment of Alameda, where a regular officer might be installed to take charge of this work. JEWS, DISCLSS LOLONY PLINS The followers of the great advocate of Zionism, Theodore Herzel, met in B'nai B'rith Hall last night and discussed the question, “Can the Jew Ever Again Have a Country?” This subject has aroused interest among the philanthropic Jewish people of the world to such an extent that for several years they have planned to start a colony somewhere in Palestine or Bast Africa for the perse- cuted and homeless Jews of Eastern Eu- rope. The Jewish characteristic is a trading instinet, and has been since the time of Ptolomey. They have followed the com- mercial centers of the world in the move- ment from Asia to the Far West, but !since the armies of the .rast overran | Palestine the Jews have had no country they could call their own. They have spread to all parts of the earth, yet are still connected with the bonds of sympa- thy for the number of their people who are less fortunate by residing in a pro- vl:go where their/ religion is not toler- ated. Treatment accorded the Jews in Rus- sia—and as there is no likelihood of a cessation of that treatment, notwith- standing the appeals and frequent prom- ises of the authorities—has stirred a de- sire for a colony where they can enjoy perfect freedom in life and concentrate themselves so they can feel their strength. ’ The purpose of the Helpers of Zion is to free the 5,000,000 Jewish inhabitants of ! Eastern Europe from the vondage under which they live and move them to a | suitable place, which they hope will be- | come the Jewish center of the world. The Imp beat M.

The baby was taken seriously ill early this morning. Not then realizing what was the trouble, the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roland Geva, administered some bome remedies. These afforded the child no relief. Shortly before 7 o'clock Mrs. Geva wrapped the baby in blankets and hastened off to Dr. A. H. Dodge's resi- dence, at 1152 East Fourteenth sireet.
