The meeting was called to adjust the differences between the National Brotherhood of Painters and the Amalgamted Alliance of Paint- the brotherhood having national iction, while the amalgamated !s ited to New York and vicinity. The decision arrived at guarantees the au- tonomy of the amalgamated for a year, when it will be merged into the broth- erhood.

With the object of advertising California oranges the growers and large handlers of citrus fruits in South- ern California have inaugurated a movement to have March 1 set aside each year as a national orange day, on which the people of the country would be urged to eat at least one orange. The movement was originated by the Chamber of Commerce of River- side, the center of the orange-growing industry of California, and although only a short time has elapsed since its Teamsters’ Union No. 668 of Monterey at its last meeting discussed a proposi- tion that the organization should start a union transfer company in that eity and Paeific Grove to be composed en- tirely of union men. The matter will be discussed more fully at the next meeting. | .

REMORSE COMES WHEN MOTHER LIES O BIER In His Prison Cell James Quinn Thrice At- tempts Suicide LIFE:- OF MISDEEDS Vision of Dead Parent’s Face Breaks Hardened Crinkihai James Quinn, man of many aliases and possessor of & lengthy prison record, overcome by the gullty know- ledge that his crimes had caused his aged mother’s death, thrice attempted suicide in his cell at the City prison yesterday. Each time his attempt was frustrated by the vigllance of “trus- ties.” Quinn’s mother dled on last Sunday and ‘her last illness was attributed to a broken heart, caused by grieving over her son's misdeeds. Monday night the son, handcuffed and in charge of two detectives, was led from his cell and taken to the bier to view the remains of his mother. On returning to confinement, he refused to eat and in the night broke down altogether, crying like a child. He continued to grow worse and his preliminary hear- ing, which was to have been begun in the police couft yesterday morning, was continued one week on account of his condition. The firat attempt at suicide was made at 9 o’clock, when Quinn tied his neck- tle tightly about his neck and would have strangled if left alone but a few minutes more. A short time afterward he butted his head again and again | against the iron bars in front of his | cell, but was again stopped by the trusties who had been set to guard him. His final attempt was nipped in the bud when some particles of glass on the floor of his cell and which he was preparing to swallow were taken away from him. Following this, the prisoner was handcuffed and taken to the Central Detention Hospital, where he was put in a cell in the insane ward. Lest Quinn, who had already tried to escape by slipping out of court dur- ing his preliminary hearing, be sham- ming for the purpose of obtaining a chance to escape, two policemen were detailed to stand guard over his cell door when ever it was opened to give him food. _— YOUNG CHAUFFEUR 15 ADMITTED TO PROBATION Assault, Is Given ‘His Liberty The friends of Robert E. Hunter, who was convicted of an assault on 14- yvear-old Idel du Jardin, succeeded in obtaining an order from Judge Law- lor yesterday admitting the lad to bail until the terms of probation could be fixed. The next regular probation day is March 15, 'and until this time Hunter will remain at liberty under $200 bail, which was furnished yesterday. The charge on which Hunter was convicted grew out of an unusual case. Idel du Jardin and a young girl com- palon were arrested last September after three days of degrading experi- ences in local saloons and resorts, which culminated in an attempted holdup of a saloon at the beach by Idel's companion, who had seéured a revolver. The case was taken into the Police- Court and also before the Police Commission, where it resulted in the revocation of several liquor licenses. At the hearing in the Police Court the fact was divulged that Hunter, who is but 20 years of age and a chauffeur, was in part responsible for the down- fall of the girls. He was arrested on a criminal charge and convicted a short time ago by a jury in Judge Lawlor's court. When the petition for probation came up 'vesterday for hearing, 100 character witnesses were present to testify in Hunter’s behalf, but only ten of them were called to the stand. The mem- bers of the jury which convicted the youth also signed a petition in his favor. ———— GOULD ROAD WINS SUIT Enforces Condemnation at Value Far Under Original Offer A condemnation suit brought by the ‘Western Pacific Railway Company against Catherine Himmelman for a strip of property at Twenty-fourth and New York streets was settled vester- day by Judge Hunt, the company be- ing ordered to pay $500 for the property in question. The strip of land is located on the right of way from Islais Creek and is ten feet under water at high tide. It was shown during the course of the suit that the company had made an offer of $1600 for the property, which the owner had rejected, and alleged that an attempt was being made to se- cure an exorbitant amount. - Judge Hunt held that even the $1600 was too much, and reduced it to $500. Labor Council Temple, it being the first meeting the union has held in the tem- ple. One traveling card was accepted. The union has every web press man in the city within its ranks. It numbers ninety-six members in good standing and meets every fourth Monday in the month. There were delegations from the Bookbinders’ Union, the Printing Pressmen and the Press Assistants’ Union. Resclutions condemning the action of the executive council of the international in surrendering to the United Typothetae were passed. After the business of the evening had been transacted an excellent programme .of songs and speeches was rendered. . . . The results of a labor conference now being held in Cleveland are being looked forward to with considerable interest by the varlous international organizations of building trades throughout the ecountry. The meet- ing 1is between the international executive officers of the Lathers’ International Union and those of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, whose head- quarters is in Indlanapolis. Upon the outcome of the conference will depend whether or not the International As- sociation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers will join the Structural Bullding Trades Alliance, which is composed of various International unions of structural building trades. | This international assoclation voted some time ago to affillate with the ‘Structural Building Trades Alliance, but there were two obstacles in the way. One was in the form of a jurls- dictional dispute with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and tne other was a controversy with the Lathers’ International Union. Both the lathers and carpenters are affillated with the alliance, and it was necessary that the struetural iron workm should adjust their disputes with the two or- ganizations before they could join the housewarming Monday night at the least, not until it monia, or bronchitis, REVISED then take it.

Britton EXPENSES ARE HIGH Witness Tells of Losses of the Company in April Disaster The Board of Supervisors resumed its investigation yesterday for the purpose | of fixing the rates tg be charged for gas | and electric current during the next fiscal year, with Supervisor Davis, chairman of the light committee, pre- siding. John A. Britton, president of the San crancisco Gas and Electric Company, testified that the ordinary expenses for | the maintenance of the gas plant dur-/ ing 1906 were $87,163.57, and of the| electric plant $157,950.80. The extraor- dinary expenses caused by the destruc- tion in part of the two plants were re- spectively $276,018.10 and $570,326.99. ! Continuing, Britton said: | Eliminating the extraordinary expenses from | the cost items would reduce the actual cost of producing the gas to $1,926,963 for 1908, or about 91 cents per 1000 cubic feet. The company it | now rnsing oil almost entirely for the manufac- | ture of gus, but little or no saving will be effect- | ed thereby. We are now paying 55 cents a bar- rel for oll, but after the contract has expired, on May 31 next, we will probably have to pay 90 cents per barrel, which will increase the cost of gas from 12 to 15 cents per 1000 feet during '-:3 next fiscal year, and also raise the cost of el tric current. FEven at the increased price of ofl its use would be cheaper than coal, which has lso increased in price. | The cost of gas in the holder is 39 cents per 1000 feet, or § cents more than last year, due to excessive leakage from broken mains. The cost | of repairs to the gas and electric plants was $695,571,95, of which $283,000 was expended on the gas plant. T %estiiate that we will sell 2,500,000,000 cuble feet of gas apd 50,000.000 “kilo watt bours" of electricity " during the coming year. While the existing ordinance fires a maximum rates of 9 cents for electricity, we collected an average of only 415 cents per kilo watt hour. The loss to the plant was $4, of which $1,815,513 represented the loas of 36,663 meters. 955 lamp posts, 1053 laaterns, two holde: Fifth and Howard streets, d-ma‘e to the Beach plant and the gas mains, and $2,457,1 the loss on the electric including the seven stations, poles, overhead and underground wire systems destroyed. As po official of the San Francisco| Coke and CGas Company was present to give testimony, the inquiry was post- poned until this morning at 11 o'clock. SR e Cold comfort—poor tea and coffee.
