KINARD. ‘OAKLAI\’D, Aug. 12.—The event which promises the greatest | amount of pleasure to the greatest number this .week is the golden fete of the Asociated Kin- dergartens which will take place Sat- | urday at Idora Park. Everybody will ;| g0 and everybody will have a good | time. The picturesque park is ever | Inviting, but with the musjc and | bdoths, the fiying flags and gay bunt- ing, the laughing crowds and the | merry “spielers” it will be more than | attractive. | The women of the four schools have been working hard to make a success of the day, both socially and finan- clally, and the Idora management is | extending every courtesy. | The work of the organized kinder- gartens has more than doubled and when the schools open tomorrow it will be over-crowded rooms that the kind teachers will have to deal with. In the extreme parts of the city, where | these free centers are located, the pop- | ulation has increased amazingly aend tenement districts are springing into existence, brought about by the very | extremity of the times. In many of the | houses which heretofore have shel- | tered one or two families there are | now as many as six, and even eight. This means there are children that must be cared for and the Associated | Kindergartens are offering their | friends and patrons a delightful out- 10(-donr afternoon and an opportunity to bear a part in their important work. There will be amusement for all ages and all conditions of guests. For the dignified and aged, tea, coffee and lemonade will be served In a shady nook by the ladles of good Wwill. Ice | cream even may be indulged in and pretty paper novelties will add a fes- appearance to the thrifty pur- The workers planning for this Mre. | tive | chases. effective booth are Mrs. Brewer, Barbour, ,Mrs. Chamberlain, Mr: Mrs. Wilson, Miss Haight, heira, Mrs. Cornell, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. | Hurd, Mrs. Paxton, Miss Powell, Miss | Wellman and Miss Oliver. Delicious home-made candy will | gather the throng about the concession of the Central Kindergarten. Their ladles’ fame as candy makers has | trayeled far and they are sure of a | goodly patronage. Mrs. Eastland is | chairman of this booth and assisting | her are Mrs. BE. B. Stone, Mrs. T. C. | Coogan, Mrs. Willlam, Letts Oliver, | Mrs. E. M. Walsh, Mrs. Goodfellow, Mrs. J. R. Burnham and Mrs. Rae. Mrs. E. J. Colton, Mrs. Cutting and Mrs. | Brown will offer the pretty paper leis to the passers-by. The dainty clay | pipe dolls in their bright dresses and | the doll beds will attract the little | maidens. Mrs. G. H. Wheaton, assisted | by Mrs. Easterbrook, Mrs. Gordon | Stolph, Mrs. Thomas Crellin, Mrs. Ed- | win Taylor, Mrs. W. T. Leach and Mrs. E. B. Beck will have in their care these delightful trifies for the tiny mothers. Assisting the women of the Central Kindergarten at the various booths will be Mrs. Whipple Hall, Miss May Coo- gan, Miss Bessie Filmore, Mrs, Irving Burrill, Mrs. Murray Orrick, Miss Lu- cretia Burnham, Miss Edith Beck, Miss Bvelyn Adams, Miss Katherine Allen and many others. The West Oakland branch has planned its concession for the small boy. Ponies, whips and gay balloons promise to keep the youngsters happy, and flicks, the good old Dutch candy for children, will be a favorite offer- ing, and to the venturesome pandora boxes will be given.

Has he been apprehended by the Mexi- can authorities and thrown in jail? Friends of the dare-devil American, who s charged with complicity in the plans to stir up an anti-American feel- ing in Northern Mexico, believe that he has failed to get out of the nsighboring republic and has been arrested. When Dakin left San Francisco sev- eral months ago for Mexico it was un- derstoqd that no aftempt to provoke a demonstration among the Mexican miners in and around Cananea would be attempted until he and his friends had got well into Mexico and carefully prepared themselves for the task they had accepted from the moneyed men behind the scheme to Stir up trouble between the United States and Mexico. Apparently the plans of the American conspirators went-amiss, for Dakin and his assoclates had hardly reached La- reda before the news came that the Mexicans were threatening to drive Americans out of the state of Sonora. Dakin hurried into Sonora and is supposed to have caused the circula- tion of a lot of litersture that was expected to further arouse the feelings of the Mexicans and was last reported as escaping from that country. BROTHER NOT WORRYING. he did escape his friends here havé not been advised of the fact. Yesterday Harry Dakin, a brother of Fred and an employe of one of the big local hard- ware companies, said he had not re- ceived any word from his brother, but that he is confident he is somewhere along the American border line. The brother was not particularly anxious to discuss the plot in which Fred Dakin is so deeply involved. At first he de- nied that he knew anything about it but later carelessly remarked that “Fred knew what he was about when he undertook the job” and would ¢ome out of it all right. “I don't know exactly just what sent him off to Mexico,” sald Harry Dakin, “but if the papers will have it that he went on a private mission, why I am not going to deny it. It's up to Fred to take care of his own affairs. He's been on just as tough a mission into Guatemala and into Salvador, and got out of trouble there, and 1 guess he is all right now.” The' story of the plot to bring about trouble between the United States and Mexico, with a hope that a conflict at arms would end in Mexicd. ing to this country the Cananea ml g dis- trict, which Americans practically con- trol, caused a great deal of talk in local mining circles yesterday and much speculation as to what the out- come will be. It has been no secret here for weeks that he bold project was under way and that the funds flnan- ciering it through were being furnished by wealthy mine owners who are in- terested im properties in the northern part of Mexico. SLEUTHS ARE EMPLOYED. It is also well known that a local de- tective agency has been working on the matter, supposedly in the interest of the Mexican GovernmentN for several weeks. From information furnished by this agency it is suspected that the Mexican authorities were able to nip the proposed demonstration in its in- fancy and to take the necessary pre- cautions to prevent a recurrence of the outbreak. Although the local Mexican Consul General does not share their views, the more intelligent members of the Mexi- can colony in this city are strongly of the opinion that the mine owners, or at least a number of the more prominent of them in the Cananea district, have been plotting trouble for many months, and that, notwithstanding the recent setbagck, these men will not rest until they have made another attempt at provoking war between the two coun- tries, “For more than a year,” one of the leading Mexican merchants said yes- terday, ‘‘our correspondents in Mexico have frequently referred in their let- ters to the aggravating conditions in the State of Sonora resulting from' the growing hatred of their countrymen for Americans. Our letters have told us that some strange influence was at work among the native miners, but we could never imagine that it was being directed by Americans. Among the better class of Americans there exists a most cordial feeling for Americans and it will take more than a plot such as this one to disturb this feeling. The Mexlcan keenly appre- clates that the American miner has been directly responsible for his ad- vancement socially and he will not be- tray him at gny cost. Americans who have lived any length of time in our country will bear me out in this state- ment. This fellow Dakin and those who are providing him with funds, whether they own one or a dozen mines in Sonora, will néver be able to exert their influence beyond a few ig- norant Mexicans.” Fred Dakin's silence since he left Mexico, if he really did succeed in get- | ting away, is regarded by some of his friends as indicating that he is not vet through with his end of the con- spiracy and is hanging around the bor- der, hoping that opportunity will af- ford him a chance to again arouse the Mexican miners and finally startan agi- tation along the liné on the American side. —_— MENELIK AGREES TO OPEN ABYSSINIA TO THE WORLD Signs a Convention by Which Commer- cial Equality Is Assured to Traders of All Countries.

Rufus E. Nunn Says Dinan Is Not Performing His Duty HE CITES INSTANCE “From the reports in some of the daily papers of this city T believe that Chief of Police Dinan has evidently some malady bordering on. St. Vitus dance or fits of some serious kind,” said Rev. Rufus E. Nunn last night in a prelude to his sermon at the Centen- ary Methodist Episcopal Church. Con- tinuing, he said: It is not my desire to do anvthing to l&sr-vlte the malady and hasten his cial demise, but Tather give him some moral pabulum which will prove helpful t,hlm and work beneficial re- sults in this city. When the shoe fits some one 1s al- wnv likely to wear it. ‘When I was a boy I had a weakness for throwing brickbats at canines. ©On one occasion, seeing a number of dogs anding on the street corner, I cast a tone among them. A lop-eared hound ran from among them and yelped. I was confident that he was the dog hit. I have been accused by the person in question of being too general in my statements. This, however, is not the thing that is troubling some people in San Francisco today. The thing which seems to have stirred their animosity has been the specific statements that I have been making from time to time, and I herewith apologize, not to the persons mentioned but to my congre- gation, 'for having to drag these things before them. The gentleman in question acknowl- edges through the papers that he lodged for some tinre in a so-called re- sort immediately - after the fire. It seems to me that there was no oceasion for this, for there were hundreds of vacant houses in this city, and i showed weakness on the part of any official who would accept that kind of hospitality. o officlal can afford to accept con- sideration of any kind from a saloon. The saloon in question is known to be opposed to law and order, and when our chief peace officer compromises his position by such sassociation the right hinking people will look upon him with suspicion. Only yesterday the San Francisco Call mentioned the place to which alluded with many others as having violated the law and as having been I's}mrted some time ago to Chief Dinan. | We would like to know what action the | Chief has taken in this matter. | All_the letters of commendation that the Chief can stack up will not con- vince the people of San Francisco that he is doing his whole duty. If he will only command the {)strolmen under him I believe they will clean San Fran- cisco of every criminal in a week's time. In confirmation of my former state- ments just see the San Francisco Call of today. HOLDS IMPRESSIVE SERVICE. ‘ather Sullivan Conducts Religlous Exercises in Jefferson Square. Father William P. Sullivan last night closed the mission which has been held during the last week in Jef- ferson Square. The last service was one of unusual splendor. The altar, under a spreading elm, was lighted by a myriad of candles and decorated with beautiful flowers. The service began at 7:30 o'clock with the recital of the rosary and litany by Father Sullivan. Taking “Reconstruction” for his theme, Father Sullivan in his sermon alluded to the upbuilding of a newer and greater city over the ashes of the old. He acknowledged the diffi- culties of the task, but commended the spirit and erergy of the builders. He dwelt phrticularly upon the necessity of courage and persever- ance in the arduous task. “It {8 so with the reconstruction| of spiritual life” said the preacher.| “Fervent prayer, regular attendance| at chureh, loyalty to their pastors and the frequent reception of the Sacra- ments of Penance and Holy Eucharist are absolute necessity.” Father Sullivan complimented the people upen the spirit with which they | had attended the mission and urged them to be faithful to their resolu- tions and persevere to the end. After the sermon the congregation was enrolled in the League of the Sacred Heart. A procession was then formed of the altar boys and the priests who had taken part in the mission, Father Phillp O'Ryan, Father John D. Maguire, Father John Har- rington, Father P. J. Keane and Father J. A. Grant. Lighted candles were distributed to the members of the congregation as the members en- circled the altar and renewed their baptismal vows. The services concluded with the solemn benediction of the blessed sac- rament and the singing of the Te Deum by the worshiper: e AR Storage Plant for California City.

Bossanelli| Three of the men implicated in the death of Joseph Bossanelll were ar-| rested on Jackson-street wharf yester- | day by Detectives Reynolds and Egan and locked up at the O'Farrell-street | Police Station pending the result of | the Coroner's inquest on Bossanelli's body. The men under arrest are Mike Mulroney, Joseph Marsili and Louis | Luiteo, teamsters, employed by Giu- seppe Marsill, a drayman, on Bay| street. | A week ago yesterday Bossanelll, Et- | tore Bottari and Augustino Montro- | vani, laborers, living at that time at the Stella d'Italia Hotel, 318 Broadway. were walking on Jackson-street wharf, when five teamsters asked them to assist in loading fruit on their wagons. The laborers refused and the teamsters began to throw fruit and stones at them and then attacked them with their fists. Bossanelli was knocked unconscious and was taken by his two friends to the hotel. The police were communicated with and Detegtive Reynolds went to the hotel. Seeing Bossanelli's condition, he sent the injured man to the Harbor Emergency Hospital, where his case was diagnosed as a possible fracture of the skull. Next day Bossanelll was removed to the Central Emergency Hospital and that night to the City and County Hospital, where he died on Friday morning. As soon as his death was reported to the police Detective Reynolds was again detalled on the case. He dis- covered that Bottari and Montrovani had gone to Oakland. He located them there and arranged with them to meet him and Detective Egan at the Jack- son-street wharf yesterday. They met at the wharf, and when the teamsters drove on to the dock Bottari and| Montrovani at once identifled the three | men who had assaulted Bossanelll the previous Sunday. The teamsters were promptly placed under arrest. The police have a third eyewitness to the assauit who will testify against the accused men. P AR T U Burglars Partial to Cheese. A.
