The amount of money to be paid and the amount to be represented notes ds not made public by the attor- ong efforts are being made to n that the percentage of cash arge as possible. Percy also says that Mitchell ibly have indorsed notes to cover nce due when the cash payment Yesterday the books and accounis of Mitchell were handed over to the commit- tee of the creditors, George Mastick, A. P. Welch and Captain Burnham. As the figures are based on estimates of the val- | ues of stocks upon the closing on Tuesda. last in New York some consideration of | the real liabilities may be necessary. The committee, so Mr. Mastick says, will de- vote three days to looking into Mitchell's matters, aided by what is revealed by the books. Since the first meeting of the creditors, which was fully and exclusive- | ported by The Call, Mitchell has sup- | plied information that will be of assist- ance to the committee in reaching conclu- sions for a report to the creditors. The liabilities are in the neighborhood of $100,- 000, as originally reported. No exact fig- ures are given out. The larger creditors are represented by lawyers. Smaller creditors have received | letters from the committee asking their pleasure. Some curiosity has been occa- sioned by an advertisement that has been ‘:nsi‘ntd in The Call which reads as fol- o “Creditors of R. Brent Mitchell who wish to Jearn of something to their ad- vantage are requested to address Box 2843, Call office, without delay.” This is understood to be an offer on the part of an attorney to assist the poorer creditors. Several communications havé been received in response to this adver- tisement. The securities that were sent on by New York brokers to San Francisco banks, with drafts attached for collection, are still in this eity. A legal question may arise as to who owns these securities, The | answer will have a bearing upon the amount that may be realized by the un- fortunate creditors. Bookkeeper Clark, who was employed by Mitchell, has been working for a few days for the creditors, He has completed his report. ———— The man who walks ‘around Jericho blowing his own horn only strengthens the walls. i Creditors | -+ VETERAN NAVY ORGANIZATION WILL PUBLICLY INSTALL Phelps Squadron to Induct New Offi- cers With Elaborate €eremony in neer H On the evening of Wednesday, Jan- uary 10, the officers of Phelps Squad- ron of the United States veteran nav will be installed in public in Pioneer Hall by Commodore Thomas A.

If the plans that have been prepared are strictly carried out there will be a better set of soldiers in the State than there has ever been before, for the plans are such that the officers, as well as the men, will | have to be soldiers to the extent that if | at any time during the year they should | be called upon to join with the United | States army they will not be a set of raw recruits or paper soldiers. At the first assemblage in January each organization will have a drill, not merely a perfunctory one, but one that is ac- cording to the army regulations, and inese drills, which will have td be kept up, will not be the practicing of the gocse step, but will mean real hard work for not less than an hour at a time. Company B, Fifth Infantry, Captain Holtum commanding, will on New Year's day drill in the armory, according to new orders, and after the drill will have its annual banquet. This company will drill every Monday and Thursday until inspec- tion, January 23. Special attention will be paid to advance guard and estimating. FIRST INFANTRY. Orders have been issugd to the several organizations of the First Infantry to prepare for inspection. The fleld, staff, non-commissioned staff, band, field music, the hospital corps and B, C,D E, F,Gand H been ordered to assemble at the street armory in dress uniform Mon- detachment of Companies A, have Page Lieutenant Harry Gabriel McKan- ny, Company H, has, in addition to his regular duties, been detailed as assistant inspector of small arms. Captain gene Franklin Peckham, Company H; First Lieutenant Edward Bradford Gould and Second Lieutenant Charles Henry Suydam, battalion quar- termaster and commissary, have been de- tailed as the regimental examining board for non-commissioned officers of the First Infantry, vice Lieutenants Hagens and Graham, relieved. Corporal Charles Henry Messner, Com- pany D, has been appointed sergeant of the field musie. 8 Sergeant Geurge F. Poulson of Company E has been reduced to the ranks at his own request, and Sergeants G. Hir- singer and Arthur Sobey, Company H, First Infantry, were, on recommendation of the company commauder, reduced to the ranks for neglect of duty. Nine men have been discharged from the service of the State out of the First Infantry, three on account of removal, four by two-thirds vote of the com- pany, one at expiration of term and one exempt. SECOND BRIGADE. Major D. A. Smith, Fifth Infantry, de- tailed to assist Colonel omas Wilhelm in the State inspection in the Second Brigade, has been %:'dered to report to the State inspector in the armory of Company B, Fifth Infantry, at San Jose, January 23. Commanding officers of regiments and unattached battalions of the Second Bri- gade will hercafter, between January 1 and November 30 of each year, inspect each organization of their respective com- mands will render a written report to bri- gade headquarters of such inspection. The commanding officers will give special attention in such reports to the efficiency of non-efficiency of the commissioned of- ficers. The summary courts of the various or- ! ganizations of the Second Brigade have been ordered to forward to brigade head- quarters without delay a report of the cases tried by them from the date of ap- pointment to the close of the current vear, and such reports shall state what steps have been taken to collect fines where such were imposed. After the first of the new vear such reports will have to be filed monthly, and if not filed the rea- son. for neglect will have to be a very good ome to excuse the negligent court. “DRILL ATTENDANCE. Commanding officers have again had it impressed upon their minds that in the record of attendance at drills only the names of such officers and men as have actually participated in the drill shall appear. This is to prevent the filing of reports of ‘‘dummy’ companies on the floor. & Hereafter commanding officers in the Second Brigade will have to make appli- cations at headquarters for permission to hoild practice marches or camps of in- struetion, and at the close of such shall immediately report in detail the number of officers and men present, the nature of instruction, distance marched, how the men were rationed, the equipment worn and such other information as may be of interest. Hereafter company quartermaster ser- geants, artifieers and clerks in the Second Brigade will not have a soft snap, for they shall not be excused from any drill, except in instances of extreme necessity. Commencing with the first assemblage in January next, drills shall not be of less than one Lour’s duration, and theo- retical instruction shall not be considered as part of the drill, but shall be given im- mediately after a regular drill, or at such other times as the commanding offi- cer may designate. MUSTERING OUT AND IN. Colonel H. I Seymour, Second Infan- try, has been detailed as mustering offi- cer and instructed to proceed to Nevada City on January 6 to muster out Com- pany C of the Second, and on the same date muster in a new Company C of the same regiment. The old company failed to come up to requirements, after re- peated notice, so it was decided to mus- ter it out of the service of the State. The people of that city promised to get up a new company that will be a credit to the Guard, and it is that one that is to be mustered in. Major William J. Hanna, surgeon of the Second Infantry, has been ordered to Nevada City to ex- amine the applicants for enlistment in the new company. > Second Lieutenant Herbert D. Walter, battalion quartermaster and commissary of the First Infantry, has been detailed as aide-de-camp on the stuff of Brigadier General Koster and ordered to report at brigade Headquarters. The rules to govern in determining the efficiency of the organizations of the Na- ‘tignal Guard of California for the pur- pose of awarding the brigade trophies, formulated by Brigadier General Robert Wankowski, Brigadier General John A. Koster and Colonel Thomas Wilhelm, as- sistant Inspecior general, 'having been approved, havesbeen published. These provide that the trophy in each brigade shall be competed for until such time as any one organization shall have won it three times, but it Is not contem- plated that the winnings shall be con- secutive. > r X RECORD OF ATTENDANCE. ~The attendavce record will be deter- | 25 STRICT LINES PARDEE TO END AIR DISPUTE Engages Expert to Examine the California Mission Building at Portland TO PAY CONTRACTORS Amount Due Them Is to Be Fixed and State Will Then Make Settlement Although the California State building that stood at the Portland Exposition as a representative of mission architecture in this State has been sold to Lafe Pence for $500, as was recorded in the press dis- patches yesterday, the controversy over the structure, that has been hot at times, is not ended yet. In fact, Governor Par- dee has decided that the situation justifies his taKing a hand in the future proceed- ings. ‘When the contract was let to the Bur- rill Construction Company the contract price was fixed. The Portland Exposition management compelled the California commissioners to change the plans. The size of the building was curtailed, be- cause the commissioners were not allowed to cut a tree that stood where the build- ing was to be placed in part, and a regu- lation regarding the distance that the buildings must be from avenues also caused another departure from the lines originally laid down. Then the commis- sioners came to the conclusion that cer- tain architectural features in the interior could be dispensed with, and other changes galore followed. ~Out of these conditions came a contro- versy with the contractors, that has re- sulted in the failure of the contractors to get their money. The commissioners are winding up their affairs, and it is neces- sary that something shail be done to ad- just the building matter. In this view of the case Governor Pardee has decided to call in Willlam Veitch, a contractor and builder. Veitch, with Commissioner Filch- er, will go to Portland to view the Cali- fornia building before it is torn down and examine it for the purpose of submitting a final report. ————— AVERS THAT HER HUSBAND TREATED HER CRUELLY Attormey Hewitt's Wife Says Abuxed Her Because She Suf- fered Il1-Health. Robert W. Hewitt, attorney-at-law, was made the defendant yesterday in an action for divorce filed by Cora W. Hewitt. Mrs. Hewitt asserts that her husband has treated her brutally for some time past, constantly complain- ing that her health was not good and telling her children that she would soon die and then ‘they would have a good time. Suits for divorce were also filed by Minnie against Joseph Mendoza for de- sertion; Mary G. against Joseph A. Rowell for failure to provide; John against Maria Maessano for cruelty, and Mary J. against George H. Stev- ens for cruelty. s mined by an average of two assemblages, one of which is to be the annual inspec- ! tion and muster and the other the occa- sion of a visit by the commanding gen- eral of the brigade or an inspector, the visit to be made at some time during the year between the dates of the inspection and muster, and without prior notifica- tion of such visit to any organization. Only such men as are actually drilling will be considered present. This means that the commanding officers of each or- ganization will have to have as many men as possible on the floor at every as- semblage, for they will not know when the general or inspector will drop in an assembly night. Discipline is to include promptness in every respect, celerity in the different exercises required by the inspector, an intelligent display of proper respect to superiors under all conditions and general decorum in, and about the armories. All this means that every man and officer will have to be on his best military behavior. Under the head of military appear- ance will be considered the condition of arms, equipments and clothing. Those organizations that depend entirely upon enlisted men for the care of arms, with- out the assistance of an armorer or janitor, will be allowed ten extra credits. RECRUITS’ INSTRUCTION. In the matter of instruction of the recruit it is not intended to rely upon the statement of the commanding offi- cer, but the inspector shall determine by a careful personal investigation in the proper direction. The inspector must also satisty himself that schools for non-commissioned officers have been regularly held, and that there has been instruction in advance, rear guard and outpost duty, and this not on the state- ment of commanding officers. In the matter of drill and guard duty there must be a personal satisfaction that those inspected are up in the no- menclature of the rifle for infantry and artillery, of the carbine and pistol for cavalry and signal corps and of the saber for cavalry; that they are drilled in setting up exercises in all branches and up in the manual of arms for in- fantry, artillery, cavalry and signal companies, pistol manual for and signal companies, manual of saber troops, stacking and taKing up arms for cavalry troops, stacking and tak- ing arms for infantry and artillery, loading in different positions and fencing exercise by cavalry troops. Tn the school of the company the in- spection will be along the line of close order, movements by platoons, extended order, guard duty and signal work. All under the head of drill and guard duty will have to be practically demon- strated in the armory on the night of inspection, which means the display of a great deal of knowledge and consid- erable work. SMALL ARMS PRACTICE. The inspection as to small arms practice will include estimating dis- tance, sighting drill, position and aim- ing drill and gallery practice. The field exercise will include prac- tice marches, bivouaes and camps. The administration will include the condition of records as to neatne: completeness and effective methods; condition and care of public property; condition and care of armory; condi- tion and care, also systematic, uni- form arrangement, of lockers: evi- dence of existence of properly organ- LIJ! administrative sauads and evi- dence that the articles of war have been read to the command at least once a year. To come up to the standard the in- fontry must gain an aggregate of 200 points, the signal companies 225 and the cavalry 225 3 ——————— Dies From His Injuries.

X A Mrs. Elizabeth MecClu of 1503% Market street, San Francisco, Cal.. lost her mother about a year ago after a | surgical operation for a lump in her | breast. Mrs. McClure and her sister each had a‘large lump in her breast, which became a poisonous, eating can- 2 ‘. i ire cer. Fearing they would die did their mother, they refused operation. Hearing of Mrs. Crosthwaite’s (954 rlington avenuye, Oakland, Cal.) re- arkable cure without knife or pain by a wonderful Pacific island plant ex- tract, each sister, and also an uncle, haa cancers cured within the same month, and, strangely, without one telling the other. These noted cancer specialists, who discovered and use this remedy, cure hundreds of cancers that no one but themselvyes and the patients ever know about. They charge nothing un- til cured and ofter $1000 if they fail. The cures are made in the privacy of the patient's own home. Dr. and Mrs. Dr. Chamley & Co. are the doctors who cured Mr. E. J. (Lucky) Baldwin of Arcadia, Cal. of three cancers, just three years ago, | after X-Ray had made him much worse. Other physicians thought he could not be cured and would die in a few months. His testimony in his own words is in Dr. Chamley's book, which is the best ever published on cancers. It -ontains proof that any lump in wo- man’s breast Is cancer, also that any tumor, lump or sore on’ the lip, face or anywhere is cancer. l Dr. Chamley is declared by his pa- tients to be one of the most honest, sin- | cere and kind-hearted doctors they ever | knew. He is the best authority in | America on the cure of cancers, having | red more in thirty-three vears than any other doctor 1iving.

The Board of Public Works yester- day completed the draft of an amend- ment to the ordinance regulating the construction of sidewalks so that wooden walks may be laid on streets in the manufacturing district near the water front. The traffic of teams going in and out of the yards is so great that it is im- practicable to lay permanent stone sidewalks in the district named. The amended ordinance will permit prop- erty owners to lay wooden walks, but they will be compelled to keep the walks in repair. Grand Jury Foreman Mitchell com- plained to the board that a property owner on Clay street, between Cherry and Maple, had commenced to lay & bitumen sidewalk in front of his prop- erty despite the fact that a resolution of intention had been passed by the board authorizing the construction of stone sidewalks in the block.
