WILL BE PAID.
One Firm Has Refused
to Supply Flour.
Auditor Broderick Says the Con-
tractors Are Being Frightened
by Certain Expert.

The Hospital Committee of the Board of
Supervisors, of which DR.. Stanton is
chairman, discussed yesterday commu-
ncation received from the Del Monte
Milling Company, in which that firm init
mated it's purpose OF refusing to supply
the City and County Hospital with any
more -four unless payment of its bills was
assured. On investigation it was found
that only one bill less than $500, dated
March %. had not yet been audited by the
Auditor, and that there was plenty of
money to pay it, As not yet thirty days
had passed and the bill had to take its
regular course. the committee was very
angry at the firm. II the firm refuses TO
supply the hospital with -four after Mon
day the committee will buy the same in the
open market and charge it to the con-
tractor under his contract.
Auditor Broderick declares that the con-
tractors are being frightened by an expert
named Atk son. who has been rummaging
over his books and disbing up figures
calculated TO show that the contractors
will not be paid. TIE Auditor declares
that the contractors will all be paid. and
that there IS plenty of money to do this
with. he said the only thing that had to
be looked out for was the S135. 900 salaries
paid out of this years funds for the saa.
ries of last June. and arrangements will
be made by which This sum will be- pro-
vded for in the next levy. so that the city
will not be compelled to pay thirteen
months salaries in one year.
Ii is probable that Atkinson will not be
allowed any further to have the freedom
of the Auditors books. to dish out figures
as he peases, for Auditor Broderick de-
clares that if he wishes any information
or financial statement in the future he
must come to him for it,

CLERKS WALK OUT.
They Object to the Discipline in
Large Dry-Goods Store.

Thursday evening delegation of clerks
waited on William Cortello. president of
the incorporated stock company of
O'Connor. Motfatt & Co.. to request the
dismissal Of James Kennedy, the manager
of the corporation. The clerks accused
Manager Kennedy of being tyrannical in
his dealings with them. The company re-
fused to accede to the demands of the men
and yesterday about thirty employees of
the store walked out.
In speaking of the affair William Co.'S
tello. the president of the company, said :
"In a large establishment like ours. with
so many employees. it is necessary to main
tain the strictest discipline. We could not
accede to the request of the employees and
dismiss Mr.. Kennedy. 1t was not a cues
tion Of wages. There has been no reduc-
tion IN salaries. The objection was to the
discipline maintained by Mr.. Kennedy. l
know that personally Mr.. Kennedy has
the kindliest feeling toward the clerks In
the meetings of the directors he has always
spoken well of the employees and has all
along insisted that no reduction be made
in wages in spite of the dull times. Tire
places Of the men who walked out have
been filled. There were two applicants
for every vacancy. | had no idea there
were SO many idle statesmen in town until
this trouble occurred"
MI. Kennedy has been with the firm for
twenty-fv years. He entered its employ
ment when the store was at 9 Kearny
street He became department manager
for the old firm of Keane, O'Connor & Co.
After the firm name became O'Copnor,
Moffatt & Co. he served with them on Post
street as superinteDdent and department
manager, and since 1890 he has been gene
raj manager of the entire institution.
The present difficulty Is admitted to be a
question Of discipline and not one of wages,
as the firm pays "top" salaries.
A meeting OF the employees OF the firm
was held 10 Red Mems Hall yesterday
afternoon. A resolution was adopted pro-
viding that those present should meet in
front Of O'Connor, Moffatt & Co.'s place

An interesting feature of yesterday
afternoons session of the Religious Con-
gress was a statement of faith by a num-
Der of ministers of various denominations.
Each of the nine statements in the "Sym-
postum of Beliefs" was compressed into
the brief period of ten minutes, and yet
there was OF a speaker who did not leave
clear and concise Impression upon the
minds of his or her hearers.
Rev. F. L. Higgins of Portland, Or, who
has just come from Portland, Or, to IN
dertake q cure in this city, spoke first, his
subject being. why L am Sweden

Lord Jesus Christ is the one God of all the
earth. The Jehovah of the Old Tesla

second coming has already taken place,

parted much disappointed. Probably never
in the history of the synagogue have SO
many members of other religious denomi-
nations crowded into the Jewish temple at
one time.
The synagogue was deliberately deco
rated for the occasion. In the vestibule
were numbers of large palms, some of
them eight feet high, while Gala lilies and
ferns we're twlned into beautiful designs.

magnificent appearance, for the altar and
pulpit were one mass of flowers, roses be-
ing used IN the decorations by the thou

Rabbi Voorsanger opened the services
aud welcomed cordially all those who were
present, saying it was the feast OF The
jewish passover. q time when all could
nave bread who wan ted TO eat. After the
regular service, IN which some excellent
singing was done by the cantor. Ra0hl
Voorsanger introduced Rev. A. c. Hirst
as the president of the Religious Congress.
DR.. Hirst was brief in his remarks, out
spoke feeliDgly on the great good accom-
plished by the congress by bringing To-
geIher and soldifying religious ihought.
Rev. DR.. Mclean of Oakland followed
with few remarks on the tendency oil
modern religions toward common center.
He spoke of the great pleasure 1t gave MIN
to meet his Hebrew friends, and paid
high eulogy to the wide-raaching charity
and broad, liberal spirit of Rabbi Voor-
sanger.
Dr. Horatio Stebbins spoke on modern
Judea, and referred TO the advanced
thought prevalent among the modern
Jews. He welcomed the time when all
wnrshipers could meet on a common plane.
The services were Drou ght to a termna-
ton by an eloquent address by Rabbi
Voorsanger Oil the Universally of God. Z"
He gave the ancient Jewish idea of God.
and told how that idea had been preserved
unbroken and unchanged by the Jews. In
his concluding remarks he referred to the
congress of religions as having been the
occasion of much good in the cemen ting
of religious ties and the bringing together
of minds and souls that would have other
wise been estranged. He said the Passover
OF the future would be the day when the
whole race would worship the same God

SANDOW IN COURT.
The Modern Hercules Seeks to En-
Join His Rival.

The Modern Hercules Seeks to En-
Join His Rival.
Eugen Sandow. the man of might and
muscle, aired his graces in the County
Clerks office yesterday, to the admiration
of all beholders.
Arrayed in glossy plug hat, his deli
cate white hands encased in Partisan
gloves, and otherwise dressed to kill, he
looked strangely out of place among the
busy crowd of legal practitioners who
scurried hither and thther in the merry
whirl of business. Sand0w took a seat,
raised his hat, smo0thed his glossy curls
and beamed upon the throng. Some re-
coguiZed him, and he was soon the object
of interest.
But Sandow was himself on legal
thoughts intent. Accompanied by his
manager and his attorney. Eugene f.
Bert, the modern Hercules filed An in
junction against his hated rival, Irving
Montgomery, who, under the name Of
"Sandowe" with an ser, delighted the
multitude with feats OF strength during
the few weeks Immediately preceding
Eugen's arrival.
The complaint asks that the rival be re-
strained from performing under the name
of "Sandowe" He is described as one

England with similar injunctions, until he
departed stealthily" for the United
States. He has always managed to keep
ahead of the plaintiff. so that no redress
has yet been obtained. Incidentally
Eugen Sandow values the damage done
to his business and reputation by the al
legged impostor at $4,000. for which sum
as damages he asks.
Judge Hebbard granted the desired re-
straIning order. with leave to the defend
ant to file an swer TO the suit.

and the Jury polled.
Judge Levy passed some uncompliment-
airy remarks upon the 500 or 600 jurors
who had presented various excuses for
not serving on the case and discharged
the jury with a word of hearty thanks.
Thursday next was set for sentence. Mr..
Colwell giving notice that on that day he
would move for new trial.
Meanwhile Fredericks sat there quiet as
ever and apparently unc0ncerned. The
courtroom was cleared. the prisoner hand

side. two in front and two bringing up the
rear. he was hustled out of court by back
door through the mob of spectators who
Streamed after him till he reached safety
once more within the walls of the City

from the day on which the cowardly muir
