W.CT.U Sould | Favor Beer | = | Miss Phoebe Cousins Speaks Plainly | and to the Point on Temperance. | Every day soems to bring us nearer a sane, sensible and practical solution of the temperance question in the U. S. More than one noted speaker and think- er ha of late shown.a leaning to a practical rather than a theoretical ef- fort to aid in the cause of temperance. One of the most noted women of ayr day and age is Miss Phoebe Cousins, for a quarter of a century the leader in the woman's suffrage movement in the | West. She recently said: “There never will be a law to compel prohibition and the sensible thing for the Women's Christian Temperance Union to do is to aid In the substitution of mild, nourish- ing drinks like beer, which seldom pro- duces drunkenness.” | This broad assertion may bring a storm of criticism from the fanatical upon this devoted woman's head, but in the ‘end the living truth of her words will preveil. She is borne out in her statement by statistics.. It has been clearly shown that with the increased use of malt beverages in this country there has been a corresponding decregse |in_intemperance. | Recently a prominent army officer in |the West operated canteens at three different army posts at which only beer wag sold—no alcoholic liquors whatever were allowed. He made the canteens so acceptable to the soldiers, who found beer satisfying their demands, that he actually ran all the low dives of the surrounding neighborhood out of busi- |ness. Yet it was through the efforts of {the W."C. T. U. that the army canteens | were driven out. Let us hope the many noble women comprising the W. C. T. U. { will be broad-minded enough to receg. nize their mistake and join Miss Cou- 4+sins and others who are sincerely striv- |ing to stem the tide of intemperance by | the substitution of mild, harmless beer | for strong drink. -In-this connection it | might be well to mention that chemical ‘analy!ls shows Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, which is perhaps the best-known of ali | bottled beers, to contain only a fraction |over three per cent alcohol—as one | eminent physician Euu it, “just enough | for a good tonic effect to the stomach, | while in food value it is far superior on account of the Pabst exclusive eight- day process of making malt.” For sale by all B ey grocers and liquor THOS.

Mechanical Engineer Sees Dark Future Loom From an Overt Act. BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. When the familiar voice hailed her with “Hello, Mamma!" Mrs. J. H. Schleff could have been prostrated by a feather, So startled was she. For when she fled from the flames that advanced upon fearful April day, she was forced to leave a parrot to its fate, and her period of mourning had not lapsed when she was astonished by hearing its cheery salutation as she walked through a refugee camp at the Presidio. When mutual greetings were over she ascer- tained that/the bird was in possession The McAllister street line, | ©f John Worthington, a special police- man, who declined to surrender it on the ground that its life was owing to his heroism and humaneness. So she instituted search warrant proceedings for its recovery. “Is it just—is it right—that 1 should now be compelled to give up the bird that I rescued from a fiery doom?” said Mr. Worthington, addressing Police Judge Mogan. ““When this complain- ant’s husband was leaving his abode I called his attention to the fact that this parrot, also a canary, would be | consumed by the blaze if they were not removed. ‘My God, man’, I said to him, ‘you do not mean to feave these help- less creatures to such an awful death? | His reply was, ‘You take,’em if you want ’em,” and I took ‘em and have cared for 'em ever since. Is it right— is it just—I say, to ask me to surrender ‘em now “T'l g ¥ him what it has cost him to feed 'efm,” Mrs&. Schleff proposed. “How much queried the Judge, ad- dressing Mr. Worthington. | “Twenty dollars,” was the prompt | reply. | “Make it fifty cents,” his Honor sug- gested “If that's how you feel about it she may have 'em for ngthing,” said Mr. Worthington, with warmth. “How have you managed to cram $20 worth of food into 'em since April 197" inquired Prosecutor Duke. “What is their diet?” Never mind that,” quoth'Mr. Worth- ington. 5 Eventually he reduced the board bill to $5, which Mrs. Schleff ‘insisted on paying, contrary to the Judge's advice. Then she took her birds and gladly de- parted. Dan O'Sullivan, accused of battery by Louis Dreyfus, a peanut vender at Oak and Stanyan streets. confessed he struck Lduis, but pleaded he did so because he believed Louis had struck him. “And no man can hit me and get away without ‘being: hit back,” Mr. O'Sullivan added, with show of pride. Mr. Dreyfus declared he did not strike Mr. O'Sullivan. The fact was that Mr. O'Sullivan’s head accidentally bumped against a corner of Mr. Drey- fus’ wagon while he was regaining per- pendicular’ after picking up a line which had slipped from his fingers as he was tendering it in payment for a bag of peanuts. Imagining the blow was administered by Mr. Dreyfus— though why he should have so imagin- ed that gentleman could not conjecture —he suddenly straightened ,up and committed the complained of battery. sfr. O'Sullivan expressed willingness to apologize, Mr. Dreyfus readily ac- cepted the suggestion, and then the case was dismissed. .« . That the 18th ‘of April did not con- vey disaster to all persons resident of San . Francisco was averred by Mrs. George Ballard of 534 Central avenue, and then she cited the case of her husband to prove the averment. For a considerable period prior to the date mentioned, she said, Mr. Bal- lard had neither earnéd money nor at- tempted to earn it, although he would have experienced little or no difficulty in finding a means of doing so, in- asmuch as he was an excellent me- chanical engineer and there was con- stant demand for experts in that craft. But he evidently preferred the scant and uncertain rations of idleness to the abundant and regular food of lucra- tive industry, and the earthquake and fire that brought calamity to so many came as a benefaction to him. How? ‘Why, by enabling him to obtain free sustenance. Instead of seeking credit from the butcher and the baker and the other dealers in life’s necessaries he had only to #tand in line and receive a fair share of the relief supplies that were dealt out to the refugees. Even to do that, however, involved more physical exertion .than he relished, so she was compelled to do it for him. “And what did he do?” inquired Po- lice Judge Comlan, before whom Mr. Ballard was accused of battery by his better half. “Stayed at home and ate what 1 brought to him,” was the reply. During the" recountal of Mrs. Bal- lard’s complaint her spouse, smooth- faced, bald-headed, spectacled and suave-mannered, smiled ndulgently at her, occasionally transferring his gaze from her pretty and animated face to the calmly attentive visage of the Judge. Those sider glances were plainly expressive of desire that the complainant be not interrupted until she convinced all hearers of the worthlessness of her allegations. They weére no less intelligible than if he had spoken these words: “Pray; don’t stop her.

Asked what he had to say in defense of his alleged misconduct, Mr. Ballard remarked that as the case had assumed cipated, he would like to have its hear- ing continued until he could commu- nicate with an attorney. “But I desire to say now.” he added, ‘that I was not idling, but repairing a stove, when she returned from the relief station, and I desire, furthermore, to state that she jawed me more than she has alleged.” He was remanded for further in- quiry, and the judge intimated inten- tion to give him the maximum. R % W. Andrew of 756 Seventh street, | Oakland, testified before Judge Cabaniss | that on the morning of April 18 he as- sisted the Goldblatts, Nathan and Oliver, to remove a wagonload of new |and second-hand clothing from their | store, 1042 Howard street, to Columbia Square, thence to Fifteenth and Noe | streets, thence to 1290 Ninth avenue, where they were found by Detective | “Tim" Bailey when that vigilant officer | surance Company’s hint that the Gold- swindle by representing that the prop- erty in question was burned. “How did you come to ald in_the removal?’ Mr. Andrew was asked by Judge Cabaniss. “Oliver Goldblatt came to my sister's house, 158 Ross street, and asked me to help him and his father in getting the goods out of danger,” was the re- ply. ‘Oliver, you know, was engaged to marry my $ister's daughter.” In the course of his examination Mr. .ndrew was asked if he now lives in California, and he answered, “No, I live in Oakland.”\ The resultant titter was rebuked by the Judge saying: “Two months ago that reply would have been more amusing than it is now. Oakland is very much in California to- day, as is evidenced by the statement of every person arrésted ior drunken- nees in this city. But we owe more to Oakland's generosity than she can ever offset by furnishing us with inebriates.” Then the case of the Goldblatts, who are accused of concealing property with intent to defraud an Insurance cor- poration, was continued till next Tues- day.

S PAXTON ESTATE EXECI"I‘OI\S ARE CRITICISED BY COURT Fall to File a Report, Although the Will Was Probated Sev- eral Years Ago. SANTA ROSA, June 13.—Judge Em- mett Seawell of the Sonoma County Su- perior Court in a decision today deny- ing fhe application of Ruth McCleilan for a partial distribution of the estate of the late Hannah H. Paxton to the end that she might secure the bequest made to her, took occasion to criticise the failure of “‘the executors, Blix W. and Charles E. Paxton, to file an accounting of the trust. The estate was probated September 8, 1902, but owing to the personal differences of the executors they have never riled a report. Judg- ments amounting to $50,000 have been secured, while other debts will bring the total indebtedness up to about $100,000, according to the statements made by the court. The application was denied without prejudice to a re- newal of the request at a more appro- priate time. e S e The Travelers’ Insurance Company’s Permanent offices Monadnock building. 4th floor.

The case was brought to the atten- tion of the Federal authorities by the Chamber of Commerce of Stockton. According to the official report, the family went to Stockton as refugees after the conflagration in this city, and being poverty stricken, were sent to this city in charge of a charitable lady, Mrs. Capurro, who is interested in caring for refugees in Stockton. They were furnished with transportation to Mazatlan, Mexico, and with some money to supply themselves with necessary articles, but when they ar- rived here Mrs. Capurro Teported that they had refused to go to Mexico and would probably sell their tickets. Immigrant Inspector Antonio de la Torre made an investigation, and upon his report the family were ordered de- ported forthwith on the Curacao. s L T File Incorporation Papers. . The Edward H.

ResolutionXdopted Re- e—— )LDEN GATE and PACIFIC CLOAK AND SUIT HOUSE 532.538 McALLISTER ST., NEAR VAN NESS AVE. LARGE STOCK - OF & ww lieves Anxiety of Substitutes. A resolution, introduced by Superin- tendent of Schools Alfred Roncovieri, by which all teachers who, previous to the recent calamity, successfully passed the civil service examinations and were placed on the probation list in the ca- pacity of substitutes, would be made regular teachers, was passed at the meeting of the Board of Education yes- terday afternoon. This eliminates the two-year regulation, which made it nec- essary for a teacher to serve two years as a substitute after passing the exam- inations. This motion was made for the purpose of relieving the anxiety of those who were on the probation list as to what would be their ultimate as- signment. The resolution also provides for a list of unassigned teachers. As vacancies occur in the staff of tutors, due to crea- tion of new schools or other causes, the vacancies will be filled from the unas- signed list in the order they there ap- pear. All substitute teachers ygho have been given full rank will be pYaced at the bottom of the list. Teachers on this list are at liberty to find employ- | ment elsewhere until their turn shall| come. i The list and resolution follow: | _ Resolved and ordered, first, That the rule relating to the election of pro- bationary teachers be suspended, and | | that the following named teachers of the day schools of this department, | who successfully passed the regular idv" service examinations and have| served as substitute teachers and who were thereafter regularly assigned as | probationary teachers to classes up to and including April 18, 1906, be, and they are hereby, elected regular teach- ers in the San Francisco School De- partment, provided,. that their election | does not guarantee employment or| compensation until their services m be required. | | . Second, That an unassigned list be | | hereby established and that all teach- | érs elected by this resoiution be as- | signed_thereto on July 1, 1806, in the | chronological order of their appoint- | ment as probationary teachers to this department. | hird, That upon the resumption of | | school sessions all teachers who may | be without classes be placed upon the | | unassigned list ranking according to| | seniority of _service.
