Clarence Franklin, 4914 Seventeenth street; Donald McKinnon and Harry Monahan are boys employed by the Lamson, Consolidated Store Service Company, 809 Mission street. On Thurs- day night while Franklin was closing up the place McKinnen and Monahan grabbed hold of bhim, tied him to a lathe and rubbed his face on the lathe till his nose and mouth bled. When they saw the blood they got frightened and released Franklin. Yesterday morning Franklin, accompanied by his mother, waited upon Police Judge Shortall and swore to a warrant for the arrest of McKinnon and Monahan on a charge of battery. Reglstry Law Customs Collector Stratton has been notified that Congress has repealed the law allowing an American citizen who has purchased a wrecked foreign ves- sel to place such vessel under Amer- ican registry, provided that the repairs ghall be equal to three-fourths the value of the vessel after having been repaired. In other words, foreign ves- sels wrecked in Amofluglwuterl may not be placed under American registry at all.

Slosson, importer and jobber of plumbers’ supplies, 194 Minna street, swore to a warrant before Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday afternoon for the arrest of Mrs. 8. A."Dayton on a charge of forgery. She is the wife of A. Dayton, a plumber on Folsom street, near Twelfth. Blosson alleges that Mrs. Dayton called upon him and purchased supplies of the value of $444.15. He declined to deliver the goods unless Mrs, Dayton obtained the signature of her father, F. ..lves, a director of the Morrison Lumber Com- pany, to the promissory note which she was to give in payment of the goods. At that time the Daytons lived with her father at Hampshire street. o On August 31, 1904, Mrs. Dayton called upon Slosson and handed him a promis- P p § Es H w2 %L - SETATIONS. g - El o N : 3o s 3 Baker ...

Dare by Reynolds, his former chief clerk. The strictest secrecy was maintained by all parties, Governor West declining to affirm or deny any | accessible and all dquestions put to him in rela- tion to the matter. It was learned, however, from an- other source that Clerk charges cover all periods of time from the present up to the first day that Mr. Dare assumed the duties of the office One of the most serious charges is said {0 be that Appraiser Dare on one occa- sion, when dissatisfied with the work of a subordinate, wilted him with “a sinister eye” and that he fimm ich, 1f it had been mfihfi.

OUTLOOK S VERY BRICHT Prospects Are Most Encour- aging for Continued Activ- ity in Commercial World WHEAT CROPS ARE GOOD Likelihood That Coal Strike May Be Avoided Adds to Strength of the Market NEW YORK, March 2.—Bradstreet’s to- morrow will say: Favorable features still largely predominate. Winter wheat crops are as good as ever, and the probability that a general coal strike may be avoided lends strength to industry of all kinds. It is apparently regarded as certain that an enormous spring business will be done. that building will approximate if not sur- pass last year's huge totals, and that crop and trade developments for the fu- ture will take care of next season's trade. Apropos of talk of the high prices ruling in this country, it is perhaps worth noting that large numbers of domestic buff hides have been sold for export, that some South American wools have been resold to Europe and that the New York raw sugar mnrl'z: is below a parity with Hamburg. Hides are firmer. Foreign buyers have bought freely of salted domestic buff hides and have pald prices declared by Ameri- can tanners to be too higu. Business failures in the United States for the week ending March 1 number 180, against 186 last week, 206 in the like week of 1905, 185 in 1904, 171 in 1903 and 178 in 1902. In Canada failures number 30, as against 32 last week and 27 in this week a year ago. Wheat (including flour) exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending March 1 were 2300,876 bushels, against 907,986 for this week last year. From July 1 to date the exports are $4,- 576,572 bushels, aguhéat 43,417,613 last year. Dun’s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Prospects are most encouraging for con- tinued activity in the commercial world. Probably the best news of the week was the prompt response to President Roose- velt's pacific leiter to the contesting coal interests. Anothew favorable report esti- mated that contemplated new buildings in this city alone would consume 200,000 tons of structural steel, while national prosperity is evinced by the various State reports showing noteworthy gains in sav- ings bank deposits. Dividend distributions in March will also largely exceed last year's, and foreign commerce at this port for the last week showed gains of $305,496 in exports and $1,268,475 in imports as com- pared with 1905. Commercial-failures in February were only 908 in number, against 1013 last year, but Habilities increased from 38,780,570 to $10,850,618 owing to a few large brokerage defaults. Trading losses were almost §2,- 000,000. less than in 1965, while a small in- crease occurred in manufacturing liabill- ties. Railway earnings in February exceeded last year’s by 28.2 per cgnt, but a further decline occurred in prices of securities, attributed to the financial stringency. Weakness still- prevails in the tone of the hide markets, although packers en- deavor to maintain values on seasonable lines, so that the better qualities of spring and summer take-off will meet with a good demand. Commercial failures this week in the United States are 236, against 218 last week and 245 the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada numbered 41, against 18 last week and 35 last year. —_—————————— GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY PERFECTS ITS ORGANIZATION Permanent Board of Directors and Ofii- cers Electeq to Carry on Business Throughout State. The Pacific Gas and Electric Com- pany' has completed its permanent board of fifteen directors by electing Henry E. Bothin and Louls F. Monteagle. The board now includes the following: N. W. Halsey, chairman; E. J. de Sa- bla Jr., John Martin, Frank G. Drum, William H. Crocker, N. D. Rideout, Frank B. Anderson, Joseph 8. Tobin, John A. Britton, Henry E. Bothin, Louis F. Monteagle, Garret W. McEner- ney, Cyrus Plerce and Carl Taylor, all of San Francisco, and F. W. M. Cutcheon of New York. The following officers have been elected: John A. Britton, president; Frank G. Drum, yice president; Cyrus Pierce, treasurer; C. W. Conlisk, secre- tary. . The Pacific Gas™and Electric Com- pany was recently organized as a con- solidation of the SBan Francisco Gas and Blectric Company, the California Gas anad Electric Corporation and eral smaller companies, and has ac- quired practically all of the capital stock of these operating companies. In addition to the gas and electric dis- tributing companies owned the com- pany, through its subsidiary compa- nies, will supply power to the principal street-railway systems in the territory served. The corporation has about 70,000 hy- draulic horsepower fully developed, about 30,000 more in process of devel- opment and a very much larger capa- city capable of easy development at a minimum of expense. which can be made available in any of the various markets served. The business of the San Francisco Gas and Blectric Company will be con- ducted, as formerly, on Post street. The offices of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company after about April 1 will be m the Shreve buflding, to which the Cali- fornia Gas and Electric Corporation has already moved. ————— MERCHANTS’ ASSOCIATION FAVORS SPECIAL ELECTION Requests Board of Supervisors to Take b The Merchants' Assoclation has ad- dressed a communication to the Board of Supervisors recommending an elec- tion to submit to the people the ques- communication is as follows: In view of the fact that the Burnham plan for the improvement of the city of San Fran- olsco_has with such general approval, Merchants’ that first steps be taken in the of the RUSE T0 SECURE RUSSIAN EXILE —— Revolutionist Who Fled to ' America Wanted on Charge Alleged to Be Trumped Up INVOLVED IN PLOTS Is Now Accused of Having Stolen' Bonds While in the Employ of a Slav Official NEW YORK, March 2.—“The Russian Govergment, in-order to escape the law which hibits extradition for political offenses, has trumped up a charge of embezzlement agalnst Felix Galdsis, and seeks to have him returned to Russia, where torture, if necessary, probably would be employed to compel him to re- veql secrets fatal to the interests of the revolutionists.” This accusation, made by a lawyer yes- terday before United States Commission- er Shields ahd believed by Rusalan exiles n this eity, has aroused interest and may possibly create an international con- troversy. Gaidsis’ attorney, himself an exile from Russia, makes the charge for his client, who recently was held by the immigra- tion officials on request of the Russlan Government, which, through counsel, charges that Galdsis, while in the employ of a Russian official, stole bonds, convert- ed them into money and gambled the cash away. Gaidsis’ defense is that he. a poorly edi- cated man, was a sefvant in the house- hold of a General Lemonsky, at whose residence in St. Petersburg men affiliated with the revolutionists met and planned to overthrow the Government; that when Lemonsky and his fellow patriots were forced to flee, Galdsis dia likewise. He is wanted, the lawyer says, and so say Jewish, Polish and Russian exiles here, to reveal the names of the conspirators whose rendezvous was the general's man- sion. Many exiles or fugitive revolutionists appeared in the court terday. he Russian Government’s counsel, after hearing Galdsis’ lawyer's -charge, ob- tained an adjournment until March 7. It is alleged by them that Gaidsis wrote a confession which is to be produced against him. The man's fellow country- men here say the document is written in Polish’ Russian—impossible by -a man of Gaildsis’ limited education. —_————————— MISFORTUNES FOLLOW FAST ON AGED GERMAN'S STEPS Ageident Roby Frits Hermann of Leg and All of His Life's Meager Savings. A sad case of destitution was uncov- ered yesterday at the home of Fritz Hermann of 606 Second street. A se- ries of misfortunes has fallen upon the aged German and his wife, and tiey have almost given up the battle to keep gaunt hunger from stalking into their abode. For many years Fritz and his help- meet labored industriously to acquire a sufficient sum to, support them in their old age. The couple had planned with their little nestegg to go back to the country and start a small chicken ranch. Through all their years of toil this vision was their star of hope, their whole ambition. Last November, when their dream seemed dlmost ready to turn into a reality, a ladder on which Fritz was standing to repair some one’s roaf slipped and the old man was plunged headlong to the ground. His leg was so badly broken that an amputation was necessary. The waund has now healed, but Fritz is not able to work. All the savings have been spent,,and the hope of the life in the country has vanished. Mrs. Hermann is tortured with rheumatism, but she has kept up a brave fight working whenever and wherever she could find employment while the unfortunate husband lay at home contemplating his sad lot. The doctors have told Fritz that if he had an artificial limb he might be able to do some light work. A job as watchman Las been promised him if he gets the llmb. But such a contriv- ance will cost Fritz $100. The wife cannot earn enough to save arything. Charitable socleties have given a little money, which has helped buy the nec- essaries of life, but they cannot buy that longed-for artificial limb, which will enable Fritz Hermann to earn his living again. Meanwhile the agcd man is garnestly hoping that some angel cf light will visit him and provils the means of urrection. —————————— WIFE DESERTED BY SPOUSE DYING IN LOS ANGELES Chief Dinan Is Asked to Fiad Daniel Supposed to Be in ) This City. “If he has any manhood left he will surely come if yow' can find him.” So wrote Sylva Brown of = 960 McGeary street, Los Angeles, in a letter received by .
