WANT HOSPITALITY.
The Work of the Woman's Congress
Association.

An urgent appeal has been issued by
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson, in the
name of the Woman's Congress Associa-
ton, begging all women who appreciate
the congress to attend the final meeting of
arrangements, which will be held in the
parlors of the Occidental Hotel on Satur
April IA. at 8 P. NJ.
That date is only two weeks removed
from the opening of the congress, which
commences on Monday, April 80. and even
after the final meeting of arrangements
much will remain to be done. The work
performed by the officers and sub-com-
mttees has been great, but m ore assistance
is needed. One generous San Francisco
woman has volunteered the entire expense
of the hall to be used during the congress
week and many members of the associa-
ton have subscribed money, which will
be spent in procuring speakers otherwise
unattalnable and in extending hospitality
and entertainment to those who come.
1t Is particularly in the department. of
hospitality that the association needs en-
thusastc help from the women of San
Francisco, as it is hoped that a welcome
will be given the visitors resembling the
one Chicago extended last autumn to dele
gates.
Mrs. Stetson concludes her appeal by
urging that the present is an opportunity
which may never come again for helping
forward the deepest good of the whole
coast.

Charles Hawksley. teamster, living on

and was booked at the City Prison on the
charge of manslaughter. but was immedi-
ately released ON his own recognizance by
Judge Joachimsen.
Hawksley was driving a team with

1T MIGHT NOT PAY.
Trouble for a Firm of
Contractors.
Their Bid for the Construction of
the New City Hall Tower Has
String to 1t.

OConnell 81 Lewis have secured the
contract for the construction of the tower
for the new City Hall. and now they are
not sure that they want the work at the
price named in their bid. $249. 700.
As had been predicted, the City Hall
Commission, which met yesterday, decided
that they were entitled to the contract,
but the satisfaction felt by the members
of the commission. from the fact that they
had saved the city $4,000 in refusing all
the bids offered formerly, and advertising
a second time, was rather shattered when
Mr.. Lewis of the contracting firm ap-
peared and announced that it was ques-
tionable whether they could afford to con-
struct the tower at the price named in
their bid.
Mr.. Lewis was in trouble. His figures
had been based on estimates furnished
him by the Judson Iron Works and the
Pacific Roling-mills and that these fac
tories did not wish to furnish the steel and
iron work unless they were allowed to do
all the rivetiDg, drilling and fitting, and
Mr.. Lewis stated that this would so in
crease the cost of the work that it would
be a losing contract if they were COM
PEELED to take it,
He intimated that if he might be released
from the necessity of using California
material the difficulties with the local
manufacturers could be speedily settled.
But the commissioners could not see
where they were party to the trouble.
OCOnnel Lewis had sent in bid to do
the work for so much, and their bid being
the lowest was accepted and passed to
print.
The signing of the contract will come up
next Saturday. until which time the men,
bers of the commission are resting on their
oars. But they say that the firm cannot
evade the contract, and they see no reason
why it should be released. There IS need
of expedition. as the work is 10 be finished
in six months, and it is hoped that New
Years will see the tower entirely COM
pleted
j. ". Grace & Co. were awarded the
contract for furnishing 20c0 barrels of
johnson cement at 80 80 per barrel.
The commission does not take kindly to
the plan of the Supervisors to unite the
prisons at the new City Hall. They deny
that there are quarters there for 600 pris-
oners, but ii was finally agreed to invite
The member of the Health and Police
Committee to be present at the next meet
ing.
Upon the question of the removal of the
Morgue, Messrs. Broderick and Creswell
expressed themselves as unalterably OPP
posed to it. but the secretary was in
struc.ed to request Coroner Hughes to
furnish statement as to the amount of
rom that would be required fur the
Morgue in the event of lis removal to the
new City Hall, and also to give some esti-
mate of the probable cost of eQuipping the
Morgue with the "cold storage" system in
vogue in many Eastern morgues.
