WOMEN LAWYERS EVENING
The Portia Law Club Gives Its
Second Monthly Enter
tainment.
A. p. Van Duzer Discusses a New
Trial-A Dramatic and Musical
Programme.

The second of the Portia Clubs public
evenings was observed last night by we'll
rendered literary and musical entertain
ment in Beethoven Hall on Post street.
A. P. Van Duzer opened the exercises
with lecture on the law, which he dis
cussed from the particular stand of mo-
ton for new trial.
Other numbers Oh the programme were
Soprano solo, 'The Holy City," by Mrs H
Lewis OF the club; dramatic recitation enti-
tied 1.-The Window Curtain" by Miss Layaun
Hallett; a bass solo by J. A. Fogarty; piano
solo by Henry Bettman: a contralto solo,
''Stella Confdente," by Senorita A. Mojica,
with violin obligato by Senior Luciano Mojica,
and the tent scene from "JuliuS Cesar by
DR.. William P. Sprsgue.
In addressing the women lawyers of San
Francisco, Mr.. Van Duzer said he be-
lieved that the law was the best thing that
woman could turn her attention to at
the present time; that there is nothing so
abstruse or difficult about the science of
law but what an ordinarily intelligent
woman can master.
After tracing briefly the history of trials
before the institution of the jury system
or the appellate court, he addressed the
audience lyrical appeal for a new trial,
assuming that they were the Supreme
Court.
He took Ewes case and asked for new
trial for four different reasons: The in
sutficieDcy of the testimony on which she
was convicted the fact that contrary to law,
she was made to testify against herself; the
admission of the testimony of Adam
against her, an accomplices testimony not
being allowed; and last of all, that the
records show that the proper penalty was
not imposed.
The penalty should have been death for
touching the forbidden fruit, whereas the
sentence was: "Thou shalt be subject to
thy husband and he shall rule over thee"
Mr.. Van Duzer showed by the last year IS
police reports that 26,397 men were ar
rested in San Francisco in 1894. and that OF
that number over 10, 900 were arrested for
drunkenness, and from this he wished TO
prove that man was not competent to take
care of himself much less his wife.
He said the Supreme Court was too
technical and that the Justices handed
down decisions every year that were I'M
necessarily verbose and voluminous.

BRANCHING OUT IN ALL LINES
Some of the Immense Structures
That Are Famous for Archi-
teCtural Beauty.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. At there
is a city on the coast that can compare
with Los Angeles in solid and substantial
growth it has yet to be heard from. At no
time in the history of this city, not ex-
cepting the period OF the marvellous
"boom," has there been so much building
going on as at present. The building per-
mits issued last month exceeded those Of
San Francisco by over 100000, and this
month promises to eclipse the previous
months record. The average increase
during the past year has been nine houses
a day, showing a net gain in population
of at least 10000, and there are now fewer
houses to let than ever before. This is
remarkable showing for the middle of
summer, when the exodus to the seaside
is supposed to take place, and the problem
that confronts property-owners now is
how to provide buildings fast enough to
accommodate the large influx of winter
visitors.
Los Angeles is reaching out in every
direction, and districts which a year ago
were barren now contain many beautiful
homes. streets severed and piped and
thanked with cement walks.
On October and elections will be held
for the purpose of annexing outlying terri
tory which is now practically portion of

The Ladies' Night and Wrestling
tournament to Be Held
This Month.

Before the expiration of another week
the Olympic Club will pass under new
administration. Last night the closing
meeting of the old board was held, and
next Tuesday the club members will con-
vene to install the men they have just
elected.
With the new administration there
come but few new plans. The club is not
in condition for experiments, and while
the new officers are confident in the asser-
ton that the club has not been in better
condition since it entered the building on
Post street reports to the contrary have
been persistently circulated but the Off
GERS of the club, both new and old, declare
there is no foundation for any statement
which says the club is financially embar-
raised.
Said F. w. Eaton, the newly elected
president, yesterday:
The club has now outstanding unsecured
debts to the amount OF about $35, 900. OF this
amount 5000 is owing to the First National
BANK, ana the greater part of the remainder is
made up OF current expenses. This debt is
being paid off at the rate of several thousand
dollars year. Last year nearly $4,000 was paid
upon 1t, and this year there will be more.
The bonds OF the club are all held by few
men who will not see the club in danger. Out
side a lew scattered bonds, the entire issue is
in the hands of John Maekay, the estate of
James u. Fair, the estate of James Flood, John
D. Spreckels and A. p. Hotaling. With these
people in control OF the bonds the club cannot

kept up by the club out on the road to the
Cliff House costs from $500 to $500 month
to run, and since the street along the side
was graded the grounds are practically
useless, except for the field athletes and
the tennis players. The track has long
since been covered with sand, and a law
suit is now pending to determine who shall
remove it and build bulkhead to keep
more from sitting in. The case now before
the courts is to be submitted upon briefs,
both sides to agree to the points involved,
and upon the decision in the action will
depend whether or not the club will main
tain the grounds for the four years of the
lease still remaining, or if the grounds
shall revert at once to the owner of the
property, John T. Doyle.
Should the court release the club from
the remaining portion of the lease another
athletic park will be established as soon as
the necessary site can be found. If posi-
bic three-lap track will be built in place
OF the one of six laps now being buried
under the sand, and in the middle of the
big track will be ample room for any of the
games of the field.
The tennis annex, portion of the club
which has been allowed to lag during the
past year, can then be revived, and with it
will spring the wheelmen and the outdoor
men.
The wheelmen are now forming the most

to England Hereafter.
The members of the Geographical Soci-
ETY. of the Pacific listened to lecture last
evening upon Hudson Bay and the
Adjacent Regions" The lecturer was NJ.
Waters Kirwan, who was formerly lieu
tenant of the Third Battalion of her Brit
ish Majesty's Welsh regiment, and more
recently major of staff of the Canadian
Northwest field force. He has travelled all
through the sections of country concern
ing which he spoke, and his address was
most interesting.
The speaker divided his lecture into two
periods, of which the first was devoted to
vivid description of the natural adyan-
tages of the Hudson Bay region and the
Saskatchewan Basin. This he said con-
tanned over 100000 acres of the most
fertile country on the continent, a rolling
prairie, admirably adapted by reason of its
abundance of water to both grazing and
agriculture. The second portion of the
lecture was devoted to a highly scientific
description of the geological formation of
the region, which he said contained valu-
able deposits of hard sandstone, rich beds
of mica, slate and formation of shale and
limestone, which is wonderfully rich in
petroleum.
During the course of his remarks Mr..
Kirwan stated that Churchill, the port of
the Hudson Bay region, is several hun
dred miles nearer Liverpool than is New
York, fact which is considered of so
much Importance that the Dominion Gov
eminent will next season send ship to
find out for what length of time the waters
of Hudson Bay are free from ice and open
to navigation. If this season is found to
be of sufficient length railroad to Church
i'll be built, draining all interior Canada,
TO the end that Canadian wheat and agri-
cultural products may be shipped from
that port to England instead of by way of

PAINTERS WORK|NG-CARD
Advantages of the System
Pointed Out at Last Nights
Meeting.
dorsed-Building Trades to
Combine.

The Painters Union, which recently or.
ganized, held a very enthusiastic mass
meeting at the Turk-street Temple last
night, at which the proposition to have a
working-card system adopted was strongly
advocated.
Its name is the Progressive Brotherhood
OF Painters and Decorators of California,
and according to the views of last nights
speakers it does not intend to confine itself
simply to securing and maintaining good
rate of wages and an eight-hour day, but
contemplates going into politics, too.
President e. II. Windsor outlined the
prospective scope of its work in his open.
ing remarks, and was followed in similar
vein by James w. Rose, to whose efforts is
largely due the reorganization of this craft
Mr.. Rose thought the old-time trades
union had outlved it's usefulness in a
measure. 1t had served the purpose of an
educator, but did not go far enough.
The new union OF the painters proposed
to be progressive in fact as well as in name
and would make its influence felt in poll
tics, for unlike other labor organizations il
would discuss political and social econo.
mics in its meetings. he said. Mr.. Rose
then showed the advantages of the work.
ing-card.
James Andrew of Berkeley, Eugene
Hough of Oakland, secretary of Federal
Union No. 5761 in that city, and President
P. III. Mccarthy of Local Brotherhood OF
Carpenters No. %, one of the biggest
unions in this City, all took the platform
in turn.
Mr.. Hough was sanguine enough to pre-
dict that great crisis was surely approach
ing, and ventured the opinion that if the
forces of labor would hold together it
might come within their power to estab-
lish provisional government.
The advantages, both business and po-
litical, of labor organization were very
eloquently pointed out by !dr. McCarty.
1t was only by organizing, he said, that
mechanics could ever expect to have power
to obtain the remuneration due them for
their services, and he failed to see why the
labor of the country should be dominated
by bringing capital" He therefore coun-
seled unity and fraternity.
Before adjoining the union Endorsed the
municipal ownership petition of the Union
for Practical Progress.
A meeting of the National Labor Bureau
was held downstairs, and it also Endorsed
the municipal ownership petition.
The working-card system of the car
penters will go into effect on the 18th inst.
Mr.. Mccarthy says the organized car
penters of this City are at least 1900 strong,
Another movement will now be started
for a consolidation of all the build ing
trades, with representative council. For
this purpose mass-meeting may be called
