After invocation by Rev. Joseph P. McQuaide, chaplain of ‘the First Cali- | fornia Infantry, James D. Phelan,| speaking in behalf of .the committee, | pr ted the monument to the mu-| ity. At the close of Mr. Phelan’s| marks the flag that draped the monu- | 1t was pulled down by Eugene| Clyne, of the San Francisco Naval Re- | serve, and a battery salute fired by | hief Gunner Henry Hilton, Chiet | Gunner's Mate Duffy and Gunner's | Mate Henderson, also of the reserve. Phelan spoke as follows: The salling of the transport on May | 25, 1898, was a momentous event in the history of the United States. Out of the harbor of San Francisco went the | troop ships, carrying the first expedi- | tion of armed forces ever sent by the republic to foreign lands on a warlike mission. H Spain ruled with a barbaric hand the people of an island anchored hard by our coast, whose sufferings and whose | heroic struggle for independence moved | the American heart. At a critical mo- jment our battieship Maine was sunk in what was the friendly harbor of Ha- vana, and the national mind had con- victed Spain of treachery. The fate of |the 260 men and officers who went down with her cried for vengeance. War was declared, and the first great victory, the destruction of the Spanish | fleet in' the harbor of Manila by Admi- | Tal Dewey on May 1 had aroused the | gnthusiasm of the people, and the war- | like spirit of the race gave birth to a volunteer army which at the call of the President went braveiy-to the front. San Francisco was converted into a military camp, as many as 25,000 men having pitched their tents by the Gold- lving we MARVELOUS CURE BY CUTICURA REMEDIES —_— “My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when be was four months began to have eczema on his-face, g quite rapidly until he was y ed. We had all the doctors sround us and some from larger places, but no one helped him a particle. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his fe I had to bandage his limbs and erms; his scalp was just dreadful. I used mény kinds of patent medicines before trying the Cuticura Remedies,—= all to no avail. “A friend teased me to try Cuticura. At last I consented, when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time, and suffering untold misery. I beganto use all three of the Cuticura Remedies; the Cuticura Soap helped as well as the Ointment. He was better in two months; in six months he was well; but I gave him the Cuticura Resolvent one year,— using twelve bottles, I think, — and always used the Cuticura Soap for bathing, and do now a good de:xf He was four years old before | he was well, and his skin became per- fectly fair when cured.

SCHMITZ ACCEPTS MONUMENT. In accepting the monument on be- half of the city, Mayor Schmitz said: Of the men she sent to the field of battle in the war with Spain, Califor- nia may well be proud. No State rep-| resented more loyally, none . more| promptly fell in at the bugle call. From the city, the village, the mounr tain, the valley, there poured forth! the fiower of our young manhood, eager sto| rally under the flag of their native land and march where duty called. We saw here in this city the eager young faces of the gathered thousands. You and I, through tear-dimmed eyes, watched the long blue columms march away-—some to return bronzed, en- nobled by the baptism of war; some, alas! to lie white and still under the far-off tropic sky. With deep interest we followed them in march and combat.. With.an out- pouring of love never before or since seen we welcomed our sons back to the home land. And now to commemorate the valor of our volunteers of 1898 we have here the beautiful monument erected in memory of those whose motto indeed was, “Duty, honor, country.” I cannot sgeak too highly of generosity which has given us magnificent monument nor of splendid work of Messrs. Phelan, Young and Martin In bringing this dertaking to a successful close. ENTIRE STATE CONCERNED. This monument s erected not alone to our own gallant First California— “First” in name and “first” in our hearts—the first regiment to be mus- tered into the service of the United States in the Spanish war, but it com- memorates as well the loyalty and ser- vice of the Sixth, the Seventh. the Eighth, the artillery and every Califor- nian who entered the regular army and navy. The men of Sacramento, of San Joaquin, Nevada, Butte, Fresno, Los Angeles—of every section of our great State—have with us a common interest in our dedication today. As chief executive of this city I ac- cept for San Francisco this monument to the California Volunteers of 1898, We receive it as a sacred trust. We will guard it well. - PARDEE PRAISES VOLUNTEERS. Governor Pardee, as commander of the militia of the State, accepted the monument in behalf of the militia and people of Californla.. Governor Par- dee in part said: 1t is with a Peculla.r and a particular pleasure that I stand here today repre- senting the 2,000,000 people of Cali- fornia, to take part in the dedication of this monument. No people are more patriotically devoted to the nation than are the people of California. In the dark days of the Rebellion California stepped bravely ¥nto the breach. Dur- ing those days she furnished money and men in the nation’s defense. It was the Olympia; built in Califor- nia by California workmen, that gained the. first vietory in the Spanish war. The First California Voluntéers were the first ruf{mem to sail from here to the Philippines. And it was the Cali- fornia Volunteers who did much for the city after the of 1906. And the California Volunteers take great pride in receiving through the Mayor this magnificent monument of which he is the custodian. In the name of the 2,000,000 people of this State, Mr. Mayor, I congratulate the the the De un- | passed over the ri: he. | whte oa{thquu.ke and fire| 5 a you on this most momentous occasion. SHAFTER SPEAKS BRIEFLY. General W. R. Shafter, who followed Governor Pardee, was introduced as Monument at the Corner of Van Ness Avenue and Market Street Dedicated to the Californians Who Volunteered for Service Loy the commander who went East with troops from California when the war broke out. In the course of his re- marks General Shafter sald: It gives gratification to all who have served in the army of the United States to receive such a magnificent memorial as has been unveiled here today. While stationed in California many men joined my regiment, and have no doubt that évery county in the State had representatives in it. GENERAL SMITH INTRODUCED. General James F. Smith, who is to | become Governor General of the Philip- concluded the exercises, | pine Islands, speaking in behalf of the soldiers who had crossed the seas to the Philippines. | General Smith spoke &8 follows: After the speech of presentation, the speech of the presiding officer, the speech of acceptance and the speech of his Excellency the' Governor there Is hardly an_vtmnfi left for me to “Y ex- cept to declare how deeply the Califor- nia volunteers, in whatever organiza- tion enlisted, appreciate the splendid monument to patriotism erected by a grateful people, Thf volunteers value this work of art for itself, for its own beauty, for the virtue of the cause to which it is dedicated. They value it for their dead comrades who have er. to rest under the shade of the trees. .Still more do prize it for the generous kindness I found time in the midst of dis- aster to raise this splendid handiwork of man's genius in gommemoration of those who responged 0 their country’s call in the hour of need. It i3 a monument to the dead, to the dead sons of California who one fair May morning bade farewell forever to all that they held dear. and to the strains of martial music salled away to.return.no more: INSPIRATION FOR FUTURE. To their country these men gave their lives and all they had. Men could do no more. Their eyes are now closed in death, and the hearts that once beat high with hope will never puide ag&ln. The memory of their patriotism still lives, however, and into this monument, which was once cold stone and shaj less metal, thelr devoted sacrifice has breathed the breath.of life and made of it a living image whose mute elo- quence shall move the citizen to gen- erous deeds when those now groupod about it shall have crumbled to their kindred dust. ‘ar and pestilence, earth%uake and fire, storm and disaster may be curses sent to torment man- kind. But if they be, let it be said for them that from their chastening hands often flow the blessings and virtues that help to make a perfect geo le. When the war with Spain broke out all selfish intere “were abandoned, the counting-house and the farm. the desk and shop all became matters of secondary -importance, and all Cali- fornia, men, women and children, uhit- ed in the common ¢ause and, welded together by one common lpntriouc pur- pose, became as one family. Grief tore. the 'heartstrlng: of those who stayed and of those who went, and their com- mon sorrow made &ll the world akin. HEROES OF PEACE AS WELL. Let this, then, be a monument not only to the ifornia volunteers who shed their blood -for their country’s sake, but also to the noble men and women who, though. unenlisted, freely sacrificed their Interests, their homes and their money that success might bless the American arms. Let it be & monument to the mothers and sisters, the sweethearts and wives who volu urllx laid the "":lh of their affectio: on the altar of their country and fol many long months bore the burden of sorrow and ense for the absent ones fighting under a tropical sun more than 7000 miles away. “The war wi ain tion thch followed of Sorfow. and exacte sacrifice.

For two months this den-of grafters and | crooks has been running wide open, with never-a voice raised against it. But/ when The Call appeared vesterday | of the place, together with the char-| it and their method of operation, the| strain was too much. The proprietors | deavoring to sell fixtures. Who gave the orders to close up the gambling house? This is the question that is being passed from one to an- other among the sporting fraternity on Fillmore street. With all his al- leged pull with Chief of Police Dinan, “Kid" Sullivan was forced to go out of business as soon as he was ex- posed’in the open. It is said upon re- liable ' authority that he was “wised up” from headquarters, though no one knows who passed the tip. GRAFTERS IN CONFERENCE. Yesterday morning when the mag- | nates of the gambling house gathered | in session Sam Bowley, one of the moving spirits“and a notorious char- acter in tenderloin ¢ircles, imparted the news that: the place would have to g0 out of commission. While the oth- ers were bemoaning their fate and cursing the luck that brought them to such a pass Bowley was entering into | negotiations with a well-known figure along the tenderloin to sell the stock and fixtures of the gambling house as quickly as possible. This agent started out bright and early, but up to a late hour last night failed to secure a buyer. But he is not disheartened. The furniture is| worth several thousand dollars and' is| suited for most any kind of a repu-| table house, so the task looks very easy. Bowley and Sullivan remained in the vicinity 6f the gambling house most of yesterday. ‘They were anxlous to get things straightened out and to see what was going to happen. They un- derstood the police were glven in- structions to watch the place, and wanted to see the result. TAKE TO THE OCEAN BEACH. In the meantime “Cal” Childs and | several of the followers of the place | took to the ocean beach as a safe haven of retreat. They are lying low and waliting for Sullivan and his pal to “give them the office”, when every- thing looks right again and the danger point has been passed. It is a well known fact that_ this| crowd of sharps would like to gét an- | other.location and start in business again, but they are afraid. The Call's expose fell like a bomb into their camp. They are afraid to take any more chances, but the fleld is so profitable that it will hardly be passed up unless the police take a very de- cided and determined stand in the mat- ter. That the gambling place has been a miniature mint during the last few weeks s attested by the manner in which Sullivan and his pals have been gpending money along the line. They made the wine flow and the women who have been {n their company wanted for nothing. CAROUSALS AT BEACH RESORTS. Automobile rides #ere quite the| proper caper with these gay flyers.| In the wee hours of the mornings they might be sighted on record-breaking runs to the beach, where, carousals were in order. It is understood that a number of crooks and gamblers from the other side of the Rocky Mountains are on their way to this city to harvest some of the “soft” money that is being gathered so quickly. These men were given the high sign by the operators here and unless the present expose has changed their plans they are due to ar- rive within the next few days. Besides ‘these polished crooks there | are a number of rough-and-ready pick-| pockets aperating along Fillmore | street and Van Ness avenue. A cer- tain saloon in the busiest block on Fillmore street harbors these “dips.” They can be seen going- in and coming | out of this place at all hours. Many of them are well known to certain detectives here. 'Some of them have had former experiences in San Fran- clsco, while others have come here for the f@rst time. s il Cooper & Co., the stationers, 42 years the furniture and | | | on Market st, now 1427 Fillmore nr.

Their| employes then notified them that on| Monday they must have $5 a day. But! the masters state that the roofers in- timated that this decision was not final and that on Sunday the union would hold a meeting at which final action would be taken. At this meeting, held at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the men decided that unless the employers vield to their demands they would go on strike. Never before have there been so many roofers at work in this city as now. The strike will tle up contracts aggregat- ing $100,000. The several roofing firms have orders which, working continu- ally, they could not complete in six weeks and new work is coming in all the time. In normal times from thirty to forty roofers find employment in this city: now at least 200 are employed. The journeymen will meet at 7:30 o'clock this morning at the cormer of Seventh and Hooper streets. If their demands are not granted they will march from there to their hall. ‘The demand of the journeymen,” said W. J. Watson, one of the principal master roofers of the city, last night, “is clearly a hold-up.
