The licenses of Frank Jones, who conducts a saloon on Stevenson street, off Third; Louis Koenig of 110 San Jose avenue and E. J. Wilkinson of Bay and ‘Webster streets 870 were revoked for similar offenses. ’ The commission adopted a resolution | to the effect that the saloons on and |after August 20 be allowed to sell | liquor until midnight. The resolution will be halled with delight by the dis- | pensers of wet goods. | The members of the board stated last | night that their policy was to punish |any saloon man who violated any city |ordinance or regulation of the Police Commission. Pratt & Tierney, who were | refused a license to sell liquor this week, |and Dunn Brothers have-been active | Schmitz workers. Jones was one of his warmest adherents. These men are wroth at what they term a “throw- down” by the chief executive, The commissioners were Informed | that saloons in the park district are running all night end that gambling houses infest Filmore and adjoining streets. Commissioner Creswell exhibited some surprise that such places as those on-Stanyan street near the park were selling drinks to any and every body at all hours of the night and sald that | such business would “have to stop. | The Commissioner expressed more sur- | prise that the existence of these all- night saloons and gambling-houses had not been reported by the police. Chief of Police Dinan will be in- structed to investigate all gambling- houses and all-night loons. The commission promises to put them out of business. Commissioner Creswell advised the board that the saloon now being eouipped by James F. Lawlor at 1822 O'Farrell street was in a residence section and should not be tolerated un- less the property-owners desired It there. The Chief of Police was in- structed to ascertain the wiShes of the proparty-owners in the block chosen by Lawlor for his establishment.

PEACEFUL FORCES HOPE T0 UNITE, Constitutional . Demo- crats of Russia Negoti- ating With Octoberists QUIET IS RESTORED ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 9.—Since the failure of the negotiations between Premier Stolypin and the Octoberists and the rounding out of the cabinet with bureaucratic elements negotia- tions have been opened between the Octoberists and the Constitutional Democrats in an effort to unite the peaceful progressive elements in the coming electoral campaign. Confer- ences are now in progress at Moscow. The Constitutional Democrats realize that they cannot carry the Radical wing with them, but they consider a split on the new alignment of parties in- evitable not later than the assembling of the prospective parties to Congress, when the extremists will break away from the open revolutionists. In view of the improvement in the situation a number of the guard regi- ments have already returned to their summer camp at Tsarskoe-Selo. The Emperor has arranged to go there Sat- urday and spend five days. The following appointments to the Cabinet have been officially confirmed: Princs Vassilchikoff, Minister of Agri- culture; M. Filossofoff, Minister of Commerce; M. Iswolsky, Procurator General of the Holy Synod. Some bombs in a suburb of St. Petersburg were today found to be charged with six pounds of dynamite.

DENVER, Colo., Aug. 9.—Christian Science is credited with the remarkable and almost instantaneous cure of Miss Blanche Turner, daughter of George B. Turner. Miss Turner {s well known in the younger social set, and her father i{s prominent in business circles. Ap- parently the cure cannot be questioned, or the seriousness of her condition pre- ceding it, whatever may be the opinion regarding -the agency which accom- plished it. During a visit to Washington, D. C., Miss Turner contracted a cold, which developed into lung trouble. Returning to Denver, she failed to improve. Phy- sicians said the cold had initlated con- sumption, and that she could not re- cover. Her parents secured quarters in North Denver, near the Oakes home, an institution for consumptives, and ar- 4| ranged so that their daughter gould sleep out of doors.” She did not improve and until 2 few days ago had not left her bed. When prominent physicians and specialists told her parents there was no hope the latter were persuaded to call a Christian Science practitioner. The first day Miss Turner dressed her- self and ate at the table with her par- ents. The third day-she was downtown with a girl friend in an automobile. Apparently she is destined to recover her health entirely. e WRITES HER HUSBAND THAT SHE HAS HIT SWIFT PACE James M. Smith of Denver Decides to Get Divorce From Laura D. Smith of San Francisco.

He became sick and returned to Denver, but his wife re- fused to come. “I sent her a rallroad ticket and money with which to come,’ said Smith. “But she sold the ticket and wrote me she would not leave San Francisco.” He produced a letter in evidence, which read: Dear Jim—I was out all night last night automobile riding and drinking champagne. I have a terrible head on me today. It has been a round of just such pleasure ever since I returned from t?\e lakes, where I had a big time. I am golng to the bad in a hurry and will get there sooner than I expect if I don’t let up on this kind of a life. e NAVY DEPARTMENT CONTROLS LAND THAT VALLEJO WANTED Holds Strip in Green Valley to Get Be- duced Water Rates From Town, It Is Sald. VALLEJO, Aug. 9.—Advice has been reoeived on Mare Island that the Navy Department has secured from the In- terior Department the control of the big strip of land in Green Valley de- sired by the city of Vallejo to protect ‘4ts watershed there for the municipal water system.

Hotel men were asked to contribute, and each one ap- proached gladly gave a check for $50, which is the largest sum Mr. Bryan said should be accepted from any one person.
