LB L CHINESE CUSTOM-HOUSE TO BE LOCATED AT DALNY Japan Consents in Order to Spoil Rus- Plan to Rob Mikado of Fruits of Victory. LONDON, Aug. 9.—In a dispatch from Tokio the correspondent of the Dally Telegraph says it is stated with author- ity that Japan will consent to the e: tablishment of a Chinese custom-hou: at Dalny to levy duty on goods proceed- ing inland beyond the Kwan Tung Pe- ninsula only on conditien that a similar system be inaugurated at the southern frontler railroad stations in Northern Manchuria. It is asserted, the correspondent con- tinues, that at present merchandise is pouring into Manchuria over the Sibe- rian Rallroad, both from European Russia and Vladivostok, without the payment of duty. It can therefore be sold very cneaply. Russia’s policy, the correspondent concludes, obviously is to isolate Port Dalny and divert all the trade to Viadi- vostok in order to rob Japan of the fruits of victory. —_— ‘Wants New Hotel.

Meeting of the Police Commissioners Last Night a Perfect Babel BOYNE THE BUSIEST Monologues and dialogues, discordant exclamations, heart-to-heart talks, tilts and arguments enlivened the meeting of the Police Commission last night. Commissioner Leahy interrogated ap- plicants, Commissionér Cresswell of- fered legal opinions, Secretary J. George Boyne ran a cross fire of ques- tions over the table with Sergeant Donovan, Alonzo Byrne, the commis- sion’s stenographer, argued with Boyne and five applicants for liquor licenses for the same place yelled at the chair- man at the same time. “Do¢” Leahy struggled with the legal status of everything end J. George gould not refrain from “butting in" with suggestions which made Leahy very wroth. While the president of the board catechized the applicants for licenses Boyne yelled to Sergeant Don- ovan across the room. Bven though a Police Commissioner is an august per- son, deserving of respect -from em- ployes of the office, the secretary, sten- ographer, policeman and a Bcore of ap- plicants shouted to one another while Leahy grew red in his effort to pre- serve the dignity of the commission. Through tha noisy meeting Commis- sioner Umbsen remained silent and “Jerry” Dinan, the Chief, wisely held his peace. Commissioner Heagarty was absent. LEAHY TALKS FIRST, “You say that Osgar Tolle gave you the lease?’ queried Leahy to a protest- ing applicant for a saloon license. “What's that number, Donovan?" shouted J. George Boyne. “Mr. Tolle told m: & age 4, column yelled Donovan. “Will you tell—?” Leahy stammered. “Follo 28, Mr. Secretary,” said Ser- geant Donovan. “My God, I can't work like this!” in- terposed Angelo Byrne. “Will the wit—?" Leahy stuttered. “Say, sergeant, see when the last minutes were written,” Boyne again. “I have been here twenty times to see about my license,” yelled another applicant. “Will you keep quiet?” thundered the hairman. “Proceed, Mr—" “Holy smoke, I never thought the meeting would last so long!” whispered Byrne, audibly. “I move that this matter go over for | one—" “What page did you say, sergeant?” nterrupted J. George again. Commissioner Cresswell, who, after several vain attempts to ascertain the trend of all the talk, made a motion to adjourn. * “We will have the minutes read first,” said Commissioner Leahy. “Yes, read the minutes,” added Com- missioner Umbsen. “Mr. Secretary, read the minutes of the dast meeting.” “They are not complete,” answered the former Chinatown rent collector. “Why are they not ready?” queried Cresswell. J. George shrugged his shoulders and stated that it was up to the stenogra- pher. COMPLAINS ABOUT WORK. hese minutes must be kept up to date,” instructed the chairman. “I am worked to death; I cannot do th¥ee men's work,” unblyshingly said Angelo Byrne. The Chief of Police was instructed to detall a man to assist the overworked secretary and stenographer. Putting over everything until the next, meet- ing, the board then passed a resolution in regard to the future transfer of licenses granted by the former board to saloon men. It was advised that.the City Attorney be instructed to ascertain the right of a saloon man to do business in another location than the one given in his license. More than 300 saloon men who pald their first quarterly payment on future transfer licenses will watch with interest for the decision of the City At- torney. After the meeting Commissioner Leahy took Secretary Boyne to one side and gave him a little advice. It will be remembered that the secretary’s “foot slipped” Tuesday night when he told the chairman that some of his (Leahy’s) friends would like to have their licenses granted before the mob was heard. “Did I ever tell yoy that I had a list of friends I wished to favor?” asked Leahy. J. George's countenance took on a queer expression and hesitatingly he answered, “N—n—no.” “Then don’t ever make such a crack again,” said Leahy. GRANT NEW LICENSES.

In support of their plea for protection the shipping men brought forward several youths whose damaged faces supported their tales of rough treatment. Between Andrew Furuseth, representing the ' Sailors’ Union at the conference, which was held at the Mayor's office, and Captain Goodall, there was almost a personal encounter. Furuseth left the confer- ence in a rage. In presenting their appeal for a larger body of police the shipping men were reinforced by R. P. Schwerin, who strongly urged that additional bluecoats be sent to the water front. The shipowners represented to the Mayor that it was impossible for them to con- tinue their work, charging that the union men were attacking their em- ployes. During the time that the Mayor heard the tales of the non-union men, Andrew Furuseth sat quietly listen- ing. It was not, however, until Cap- tain Goodall objected to the methods employed by the Sailors’ Union in manning launches and sending them to the vessels in the bay in an endeavor to lure away the crews that Furuseth began to show keen interest. As the argument progressed Furu- seth’s speech became bitter and pre- cipitated a sharp exchange of person- alities. In vain the Mayor appealed to both sides to be calm and discuss the question without descending to ex- hibitions of personal animosity. The shipowners were firm In their demand i the union. At this juncture the Mayor an- increased. He obtained from Furuset! an expression of the attitude of th union men and was assured that the sailors expected to win their strike without recourse to force. “Not to increase the force on the water front at this time means mur- der!"” cried Goodall Furuseth took exception to the as- sertion and the reply he received so aroused his anger that, seizing his hat, he bolted toward the door. “Why don’t you reply?’ was shouted after him. With flaming face, Furuseth paused at the doorway and loudly cried: “I'll make my reply to the Mayor, I have no reply to such language as that.” Last night! at the meeting of the executive committee of the Sailors’ Union Furuseth reported on the results of the conference, and it was decided that the strike could be won without completely tying up the water front. The strike at the present time, accord- ing to the sallors, ties up the coast- ing trade only. The Mayor later discussed the sit- uation with Chief Dinan. _ Fulton Club Holds Bangquet.

The improved condition of the| bank's affairs iwas brought about by young Stensland, who tonight an- nounced that he would turn over to Receiver Fetzer tomorrow all the real estate and personal property of Paul| O. Stensland, his father. The son places a valuation of $600,000 on this collateral and he stated tonight that| he had full authority to make the transfer of the property for the benefit of the depositors. Arrangements have been made for a meeting tomorrow be- tween Vice President Stensland and Receiver Fetzer, when the holdings of the father will be placed in the hands| of the receiver. Paul O. Stensland, president, and| Harry Herring, cashier, are still at| large and search for these fugitives | is being made all over the country.| Five thousand pictures of the two of-| ficlals are being prepared, with full descriptions of both, and these will be spread broadcast throughout thgworld. | At one time this afternoon it ap- peared as if there would be serious| trouble with the depositors who| swarmed around the doors of the de- funct bank. While fully a thousand of the depositors shouted their pro!ells‘ more than 4300,000 was removed from the vaults of the institution to those | of the National Bank of the Republic, | where it will be held for safekeeping ntil next Tuesday, when it is said dis- | ribution to the depositors will be| made. The removal of the money put | the crowd in an angry mood, and It| took a big police detail to keep the excited throng from upsetting the pa- | trol wagons, which were fllled with| bluecoats. | A statement of the bank's affairs is| promised for next Monday by Bank Examiner Jones. Theodore Stensland, who was ar- rested yesterday on a warrant charg- ing him with violation of the banking laws of Illinois, accompanied by his| attorney and bondsmen, appeared in| court this afternoon and by agreement | the hearing was postponed until August 18. —_— MAY INTENSIFY CHURCH CONTROVERSY IN FRANCE | Paper’s Interpretation of the Decision of the Pope Causes Solicitude. PARIS, Aug. 8.—La Croix, the semi-| official organ of Cardinal Richards, Archbishop of Paris, referring to the| Pope's decision regarding the attiude of | 1 the clergy toward the law providing for | the separation of church and state, says it is not an approval of church associa- tions or of the formation of canonical assoclations conformable with the law. The announcement of La Crofx, which appears to be authoritative, has caused much comment and some sollcitude, as & confirmation of the report of the Vati- can's decision to this end probably would intensify the controversy. The accuracy of the announcement, how- ever, is open to some doubt. | MRS WOODROWAER OWA DETECTIE. Resents Slurs Cast Upon | Vice President Stensland San Jose Woman Runs Down G. L. Coburn, Who Stole Her Gems CAUGHT IN SOUTH SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL SAN JOSE. Aug. 8.—George L. Co- burn, a well-known young man in this city, confessed late tonight to the stealing of $1500 worth of diamonds from the safe of his former employer and benefactor, W. L. Woodrow, the undertaker. The confession that he was responsible was rung from the prisoner after he had falsely impli- cated H. E. McCormick, another well- known young San Josean. After the earthquake, which wrecked the Woodrow home, Mrs. Woodrow, who is a recognized society leader and very prominent in musical circles here, removed the family jew- els and deposited them in her hus- band's safe. Later developments show that Coburn witnessed this transaction. He was discnarged several days after this, but before leaving he rifled the safe and secured the casket contalning the jewels. The theft was not discovered until several days after _oburn had disap- peared. Suspicion was at once pointed to him afid was strengthened when it was discovered that Coburn had for- warded several hundred dollars from Los Angeles to local creditors. Mrs. Woodrow is a daring woman. She consulted her husband and then took the first train for Los Angeles, where she turned detective, and after securing the assistance of the Chief of Police located the thief and Secured his arrest. Coburn had pawned the jewels. Has confessed his gullt when arrested, but swore that he had been aided and abetted by a fellow employe, H. E. Me- Cormick. On telegraphic information the latter was arrested at Mountain View, where he was in the act of di- recting a funeral McCormick took his wife and chil- dren to the jail and confronted his ac- cuser, who broke down and admitted that “he was afraid to face prison alone and had therefore lied.” Mrs. Woodrow has been recelving congratulations all day for the plucky manner in which she recovered the stolen jewelry. —_— SOCIETY WEDDING WILL END IN DIVORCE COURT Mrs. Wellington & Bell of Petaluma May Scom Bring Suit Agalast Husband.
