The committee listened to a letter from rt Winsor, president of the Boston Steamship Company, which operates five steamships between the Pacific Coast and Japan. Winsor informed the committee that unless the subsidy bill is passed these ships will be put out of commission and | the route abandoned. As it is, he said, the company is operating at a loss, being in direct competition with three British ships Jperating from Vancouver and receiving a subsidy of $201,000. It is also in direct | competition with three Japanese ships re- | ceiving subsidies of $380,000 per annum. The amount the Boston ships receive is 000 for carrying the mails. The letter r stated that if the subsidy bill is e will be enlarged. STATE NORMAL TRUSTEES MEET Discuss Order Which Re- quires Entrants to Be Grad- uates of the High Schools SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. CHICO, April 13.—The subject of dis- sssion at the annual joint meeting of the te Normal School trustees held in this v today was the order passed In %2 and which goes into effect on July 1, %, requiring a high school graduation or its equivalent as the basig for admis- sion to the normal schools. At present this is required by the San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles schools, while the Chico and San Diego schools admit on a school graduation, but require a course. . subject was brought up by Dr. 8. k of San Diego, who held that it nia intended to supply its corps of from normal graduates, the rammar school graduation plan should g be continued even under the present con- ditions. Many schools are without teach- ers Dr. Van Liew of Chico:supported Dr. Black, and in the discussion it developed that there was no desire to disturb the existing requirements in the San Fran- clsco, Los Angeles and San Jose schools. It was decided to refer the subject to a committee of the Dresidents of the five schools to report at a special meeting to | be held at San Diezo on May 3. Tt is understood that the committees will report favoring the extension of the time of the order of 1%02, and make it to go into effect on July 1, 1910. “A similar com- mittee will report at that meeting In the proposition eo add instruction in agri- | culture to the curriculum of the normals.

FORMER CALIFORNIA CONGRESS- MAN WHO YESTERDAY ARGUED o l FOR THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL. < ol COAL MINES UNDER RAILROAD CONTROL New Facts Brought Out by Inquiry of Commerce Board. BALTIMORE, Md., April 13—The Inter- state Commerce Commission met in this today to inquire into the alleged community of Interest between the inter- state carriers and the coal and oil pro- ducers of the country. Among the wit- nesses today was Superintendnt of Trans- | portation Arthur C. Hale of the Balti- more and Ohlo. Hale admitted that coal is taken out of the mines by a company controlled by the Baltimore and Ohio, transported by a company controlled by the Baltimore and Ohio, and distributed to retailers by a company in which the Baltimore and Ohio is Interested, either by direct ownership or by stock owner- ship or other control. Captain Alfred Hicks of Pittsburg, pres- ident of the Allegheny Steel Company and of the Interstate Steel Company and also president or treasurer of several coal companies, testified that Vice President George L. Potter of the Baltimore and Ohio Rallroad formerly held 300 shares in the Belmont Coal Company, but sold it two months ago to the witness. Some of the stock in these companies, it was sald, was held in the names of the wives and daughters of the raflroad officials. The inquiry will be resumed to- morrow. NEW YORK, April 13.—The board of trus- tees of the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals yesterday elected Colonel Alfred Wagstaff acting president. NATIONS MAY United States Agreeable to Any Date for Conference After September Twentieth —_— +— — \wWORD SENT TO ‘RUSSIA South American Counéries Will Be Parties to the Second Hague Gathering WASHINGTON, April 13.—An important step toward the agreement upon a date for the assembling of the second Hague conference was made today, when Secre- tary Root informed the Russian Govern- ment that the convenience of the United States would be served by the selection of any date later than Beptember 20. This date was mentioned because it was cal- culated that it would mark the conclusion of the Pan-American conference at Rlo Janeiro. The delegates there in attend- ance will be able to reach The Hague in time in case they are chosen’to represent their governments in both instances. Great satisfaction is expressed at the refdiness with which the Russian Govern- ment accepted the suggestion of the State Department for the designation of a later date than July for the conference at The Hague. A%Impartnnt objection to an immediate contdrence was connected with the pro- posed representation of South and Central American states in the conference. These states found upon an inspection of the in- vitation to the conference that they would enter at once upon an equality with those that had signed the original Hague treaty, no steps having been taken to give effect to article nine of The Hague con- vention, which reads: Th wh rore ok ceptaenled st ihe cat Hesruatioeal peace conference can adhere to Dpresent convention shall form the gubject of a sub- the contracting sequent agreement among powers. The South and Central American states invited to the second conference make it a condition of attendance that the signatory powers of the first convention shall give effect to the article quoted and provide means for their adherence to the first con- vention before the second meeting. All of this will consume time, and probably the coming summer will be consumed before this can be completed. SEVERELY BURNED IN FIRE. Frederick T, Clark Has a Narrow Es- cape From Horrible Fate. The overturning of & can of gasoline caused a brisk fire yesterday morning in the factory of the Fisk Rubber Company at 267 Golden Gate avenue and did dam- age amounting to $10,000. Frederick T. Clark had a miraculous escape from death by flames, and his presence of mind when his clothing was afire saved him from a horrible fate. Clark, who lives at 618 Golden Gate ave- nue, was at work in the rear of.the fac- tory when he accidentally overturned a three-gallon can of gasoline. The fluid spread to a furnace near by and instantly the flames covered the: floor. , Clark's trousers were saturated by the overturn- ing of the gasoline and the flames ignited his clothing. He took his coat off, and after he was severely burned about the legs he succeeded in smothering the flames. He was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital and treated for first degree burns of both legs. The fire rapidly spread and the bullding was a mass of flames. A portion of it is rented to the:Standard Motor Company as a garage, and it was preparing to move into the place today. The building was recently built and the upper flats were not yet rented. A double alarm was sounded and for a time several dwelling houses in the neigh- borhood were threatened. The department did excellent work in confining the con- flagration to the one structure. The home of Mrs. I. M. Crow, at 26 Golden Gate avenue, suffered by smoke. The property is Insured for $15,000. LEGAL TALENT |FIRE RESULTS MEET IN FALL) IS AVAILABLE] IN' HEAVY LO3S Many Superior Judges North Ask for Promotion to the District Courts of Appeal FREMONTERS TO RALLY Twenty-Two State Senators to Be Chosen’ at the Election Next November At the State election this year nine Justicés of the District Court of Ap- peals are to be elected. There are three districts, and for each district three Justices are to be chosen, one to serve one eight years and one for rs. One of the Justices of each of the District Courts of Appeal 13 the presiding Judge thereof, and as such shall be elected. In the northern district the list of aspirants for service in this judicial capacity is large and growing larger. It is quite well understood that the in- cumbents, Justices Chipman, Buckles ond McLaughlin (the last named a Dem- ocrat), who were appointed by Gov- ernor Pardee to serve until January, 1907, are candidates for nomination; but there are others. Judge John F. Ellison of Tehama County, a well- known lawyer, who was a formidable candidate for the Republican nomina- tion for Associate Justice of the Su- preme Court, is classed among the as- pirants. Lake County will probably submit to the convention the candidacy of Morton S. Sayre, who is able law- yer and the present Judge of the Su- perior Court of that county. Judge J. M. Mannon of Mendocino County and Judge E. C. Hart of Sacramento are mentioned as candidates. W. H. Mid- dlecoff of San Joaquin, Superior Judges John C. Gray of Butte, Stanley A. Smith of Slerra and BE. E. Gaddis of Yolo may enter the contest for nomination. There will be quite a legion of Fre- mont voters at the Santa Cruz conven- tion of Republican clubs next month. The first vote that Paris Kilburn ever cast was for John C. Fremont for Pres- ident. At that time he was one of the election board in Pope Valley, Napa County, and brought the returns from the precinct over to the Ritchie School- house in Napa Valley. R. H. Sterling, now living in Napa, was on the board with Mr. Kilburn. Charles F. Bassett of San Francisco voted for Fremont in 1856, and has voted for every Repub- lican Presidential candidate since that time. F. L. Caughey, Auditor of Mendocino County, was in the city yesterday. He is a candldate for Republican nomina- tion for the office of State Surveyor General, and is cordially supported by many friends. General George Stone, chairman of the Republican State committee, has re- turned from the famous Manhattan mining district. There will not be a general meeting of the committee to fix the time and place for holding the State convention before the latter part of May. " . The voters of California this year will elect twertyetwo State Senators, one in each of the even-numbered Sen- atorial districts, one to fill the vacancy in the First District caused by the resignation of Thomas H. Selvage, who { was recently appointed Postmaster of Eurekar and one to fill the vacancy of El{ Wright, Twenty-seventh District, who was expelled from the Senate and who fled to & foreign country to escape trial in the Superior Court of Sacra- mento County. The resignation of Thomas H. Belvage is in the hands of the Governor. John H. Nelson of the Twenty-fifth Senatorial District may decide to resign his State office, as he was elected Recorder of San Francisco last November to serve for a term of two years. . The “pollies” at the Pal court nold that Nelson will send his resigna- tion as Recorder to the Board of Super- visors just before the Leglslature meets, and that the board will appoint some one to serve for two months, who will resign in Senator Nelson's favor when the Legislature adjourns sine die. This | Fremont Street Blaze De- stroys Property Amoupt- ing to About $30,000 WORKMEN SHOW GRIT With Hand Hose and Extin- guishers Employes Save Concern’s Valuable Patern A fire of unknown origin occurred in the car-constructing shop of W. L. Holman & Co. at 210 Fremont strest last night. and did damage amounting to 330,000 The building occupied by the Betts Spring Company on the south side was partly damaged. The machine works of Abner, Doble Company on the other side suf- fered a loss by the c: lon. The latter firm owes to six workmen and Special Policeman W. H. Beatty the credit of preventing & heavy loss. These men fought the fire before the department arrived, and with a hand hose and fire extinguishers they saved the portion of the building where valuable patterns wers stored away. The fire had a commanding headway when it was discovered by Policeman H. F. Walsh, who turned in an alarm. The flames were issuing from the rear of the building, where sha were plled. Holman & Co, were partly burned out in a disastrous fire which occurred in an adjoining building several months ago. The company was building cars for the Ocean Shore Rallroad, and one car which was nearly finished was demolished by last hight's fire. Policeman H. F. Walsh by discovering fires 1n this district has earned the repu- tation of belng & sharp-eyed officer. He gave the alarm to the men working in the adfoining building. They gallantly offered their services to protect the prop- erty of their employer, and went to the roof and fought the blaze until it became so hot that they were forced to retreat. The department had arrived by this time, and together with their efforts valuabls property of the machine works was saved. The carshop was destroyed, and its owners are the heaviest losers. The neighborhood is a dreaded spot for fires, but the department distinguished itself in confining the flames to a limited area. —_———————— Carlson’s Movements Mysterious. The police did not know till they read The Call yesterday morning where Charles Carlson, the race-track man, who had been beaten and robbed In his room at 320 Mason street, had been taken. Detective Ryan visited the Wal- ton House, 452 Ellis street, and was in- formed that Carlson had been removed by five men about 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Ryan has been unable to find his new abode. Ryan says he has dis- covered that Carlson was an assoclate of bunko men, and he belleves that the attack upon him was made by two of his aSsociates, who are afraid that Carlson might be induced to disclose their {dentity. Burbank to Have New Home. SANTA ROSA, April 13.—Luther Bur- bank has let the contract for a hand- some new residence to cost about $4500. It will be located across the street from his present home and will contain fourteen rooms. is mere conjecture, however. Nelson will get the Jaw from the lawyers and probably be governed by their advice. The Senator is a young native son, physically able to draw two salaries. An old-time politician, who did not serve in the Civil War and who is neither a ploneer nor a native son, re- marks that three classes of men in Cal- ifornia claim all the offices on these grounds: “The pioneers, because they discovered everything; the Grand Army veterans, because they saved every- thing, and the native sons, because they want everything.” AKRON, Ohlo, April 18.—The Circuit Court of Summit County today heard arguments of Prosecutor Hagelberger to oust the New York Life and Mutual Life Insurance companies from Ohio. = MAIN STORE 917 Market Sf, Open Evenings Until 8:30 , Shirt, Waistss and Patterns Heavy J: ered and hand drawn work; value at $6.50; now . ese silk, 3% yards long, 28 Cotton regular $3.50; cut to ....... in walsts and waist patterns. reduced from 30c a yard to values at nmese Silk Hand-Embroid- ered Walsts—EXxcellent finish, latest patterns, regular value $7.50; this sale.mti. sl LTl 85.00 | L.y latest Finest Cotton Crepe Walsts—Embrold- big -84.75 Shirt Waist Patterns—In heavy Japan- inches wide; regular $6; reduced to..84.25 Patterns—Finest mate- rial, gilk embroidered and drawn work; 3% yards long, 30 inches wide; ---82.76 Your choice of Dragon, Iris, Wild Rose, Chrysanthemum and Cherry designs Cotton Crepe—All colors and designs, 22%c Closing Out Sale of METSUKE PURSES. hand stamped and .leather finish; price Card Cases—AllL sizes and designs; 50c 28¢ Hand paint- ed and inthe shapes, "handsome Kaga Ware Tea Sets, for 12 persons; an elaborate tea mervice; regular value $16; this sale ... $10.00 Kaga Ware Cups and Saucers— Hand painted; a variety of shapes to choose from; $1.00 values at 75c¢; T5¢c values at 50c; 50c values reduced to.. . 28e largest and __Sugar and Creamer— $1.50 set at this sale..$1 $1.00 set at this sale.75¢ 'We are showing of Kaga Ware in the city.
