ABOUT DIR. TURNER. !.

We wonder why the Clarlss.
burg Nelgs seeks to hu initiate Dr..
Z. n, Turner BY SAYING that he
was defeated forthe Presidency
of the University. The writer Of
this article was present at all the
meetings of the board of regents
and at no time was DIR. Turner's
name mentioned. De was not
an applicant for the place and
got no votes for the Presidency.
There was but one vote taken and
that showed every regent present
voting for DIR. Goodnight. We
publish this IN justice to DR..
Turner who probably never
thought of being selected. Still
the Ne'cs says he came within
one vote of being elected.

Belyedere, which is located Just opposite
the present missions house, and is more
suited to the purpose, has been leased for a
term of years.
The Hotel Belvedere is well known by
old residents. 1t is relic of the days
when Rincon Hill was the center of
wealth and fashion, and was built for a
fashionable boarding house. Its dining
room can be easily made into chapel that
will seat four or five hundred people, and
the basement, with a little change, can be
adapted for club and reading rooms for
boys and men. The rooms upstairs will
be used as the headquarters of the Episco-
pal City Missionary Society.
1t will be the city home of the St. An

that has accomplished much for the church.
It will be another Young Mems Christian
Association though strictly Episcopalian in
its management, with gymnasums, baths

nished.

taking has been issued by the missionary
and is meeting with encouraging response.

Seed and Plant Company, tried to secure
separate meetings of the growers by pro-
posing that the florists get together and
decide what they wanted to do, and then
see If they could combine with the growers
who were willing to form an organization
OF their own. The proposition was voted
down after considerable discussion.
For over fifteen minutes the meeting en-
deayored to secure president for tempo
rary organization, and not, until almost
every man in the room had been named
could any one be induced to act Charles
Hasselbacher, a grower, finally consented
to take the chair. Frank Pelicano, florist,
was selected as vice president, and H. K.
Kessell, a grower, secretary.
The selection of the officers showed the
strength of the growers, who were there in
their own interests, and considered that it
was useless for the growers and florists to
try any further attempts at uniting.
Again Mr.. Sproule brought up the propo-
sition of separate meetings by moving that
the growers retire, and the florists 60 into
executive session and find out what they
wanted to do. This was once more voted
down.
Frederick K. Weiss, florist, could see
no reason why the growers could not unite
with the florists, but he wanted a guar
antee from the growers that flowers would
be furnished them if they refused to buy
from Cinnamon. This the growers were
not in a position to promise, but in order to
get some similar idea before the meeting a
committee of three was appointed to select
name and outline the objects of the or
ganization.
The report of the committee was not
unanimous, but was adopted by the meet
ing as selecting the name of the California
Florists and Growers Association and
pledging the florists not to buy from China.
men nor growers to sell TO florists who pur-
chase from Cinnamon. There was no re-
striction regarding the growers selling to
Cinnamon embodied in the report.
A committee consisting of three grow
ers, three florists and the temporary presi-
dent were ordered to prepare set OF by
laws and constitution to be presented to
the meeting next Tuesday.
The general opinion of the florists was
that no organization will be perfected, as
they will either have the growers agree to
do away with all Chinese help around their
gardens or not go into the association.
They claim the employment of Chinese in
the gardens is just as injurious to their
business as the Chinese who run places on
their own account.
The meeting next Tuesday will be a
spirited one if all those present yesterday
get together at 10 o'clock on that day.

FOOTPADS And BURGLARS
Three Dangerous Men Arrested by
the Police.
They Are Suspected Of Committing the
Franklin Burglary and Several
HOld.JpS.

Three men are in the City Prison who
are believed to be the trio that broke into
the residence of julius Franklin, 1880
California street, in the early morning of
January 10 and nearly killed the butler,
Frank Miller. They are also suspected of
holding up John Sparks, an engineer, near
his residence on Haight and Cole streets,
on Monday night, January Il, and robbing
him of his gold watch and money.
Two or three nights after the burglary at
the Franklin residence a citizen was also
held up by three men on Laguna and Cali
fornia streets and robbed of his money and
valuables. They wore masks and had pis-
tolls.
The description of the three men who
committed the Franklin-street burglary
and the two hold-ups given by the victims
to the police coTTesponded. 1t was at first
suspected they were Wilson, Fraser and
Smith, the three young footpads who are
now awaiting their trial on two charges of
robbery, but subsequent reflection caused
by the raw work done by the boys led to
the conclusion that the suspicion was
wrong. The men were older and more
powerfully built.
Detective Ed Gibson and Policeman
Wren on Wednesday last arrested Harry
Eldridge, IS years of age, and John Hyde,
"a years of age, and on Monday caught
Frank Cunningham, % years of age. Cum
bingham and Eldridge are ex-convicts,
having served terms in San Quentin for
burglary, and Hyde is an Eastern crook.
Mr.. Franklin and Miller, his brother,
had look at the three prisoners yesterday.
Miller was positive that Cunningham, who
is the tallest of the three, was the man who
struck him over the head with the sandbag,
but he declined to swear to complaint.
Hyde and Eldridge, he said, resembled the
other two.
Sparks, the engineer, will have look at
them to-day.

The Principal Creditor Is Mrs. Jane

ALL HIS REAL ESTATE MORTGAGED.
The Supposed Fortune Of the Railroad
Agent DWindles Down to
Horse and Buggy.

John ]. Haley, for so many years city
real estate agent of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, is an insolvent. On
January % he filed his petition in insol-
vency in the County Clerks Office. His
liabilities are stated to be $50, 900, and his
assets merely nominal.
No failure that has taken place for years
will occasion SO much surprise as that OF
Mr.. Haley. Few men have been engaged
in so many real estate transactions as he
for the past fifteen years. As city land agent
for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
he manipulated the land purchases for the
railroad company when the first cable
roads were built, extending over the
western part of the city. Subsequent to
