GREAT STRIKE RUMORED,
1t Is Predicted to Take Place
About the First of
September.
1 GENERAL ORGANIZATION.
Heads of the Militia and Police
Departments to Discuss the
Subject To-Day.

Thinkers and scholars are inclined to the
belief that the labor and socialistic signs
OF the times are most portentous. Some
even go so far as to predict that this ground.
swell of socialistic sentiment is soon and
surely going to develop into revolution
airy move, and that unless met in time ii
will sweep over the land leaving destruc-
ton and ruin in its wake.
This is a belief not confined in its utter
ance to private or confidential discussion,
but finds expression from the public ros-
trum and in the meetings of various influ-
entail bodies.
At the session last Tuesday of the In
stitute of Applied Christianity in the Con-
gregational church on Fifteenth street, G.
Gilbert Dexter said he feared general and
powerful movement among the laboring
classes was pending, but that it would
come to the surface in the way of local or
ganization in every State in the Union be-
fore the first of August.
In substantiation of this belief he cited
an instance of man coming to him and
saying that California would be among the
first to organize and that he had been
asked to take the leadership in the move
ment. Mr.. Dexter's informant also pre-
dicted that the strike of last year would be
only ripple to the great crushing wave
which was sure to sweep over the country
from east to west and north and south.
This belief is gaining adherents on every
hand. DR.. Scott, who presided at the
meeting, said he believed a revolution was
coming, but he hoped it would be peace
able one, though if quick and sharp 1t
would purify the atmosphere of unwhole-
some sentiment and leave the country in a
healthier and more prosperous condition.
Those who have given the subject deep
and earnest thought are of the opinion
that the eruption will occur about the last
of August or first of September; that gen.
eral strike will take place throughout the
country, led by the prominent labor or
ganizations to be 70 lowed, if successful
by revolution of most portentouS char
acter.
The authorities of this City and State,
however, do not intend to be caught with
their eyelids dropping. Those at the head
of the State and municipal government are
alive to the gravity of the occasion. They
have scented the danger from afar; and
with the end in view of meeting every con
tingency and taking all precautions posi-
BILE meeting will be held to-day by the
heads of the Police Department and the
State militia. The conference will take
place at the California Hotel. The posi-
biities of great strike and its chances Of
success will be thoroughly canvassed, and
some plan of concerted and effective action
4 - rl,0k d.
partments of the militia will be represented
as we'll as those of the police and City gov
eminent, and such steps will, no doubt, b.
taken as to place the State and City in {
position to act in concert, should the
emergency arise, and quell at the outset
any movement which may occur.

The Alumni Association of the Medical
Department of the University and the fac

Hotel after the exercises and enjoyed a
banquet.
After justice had been done the spread
DR.. Dodge addressed the guests dwelling
at length upon the Importance of each new
arrival among the members of the alumni.
He. closed by proposing toast TO 1.-THE
medical profession" which was responded
to by Professor r. Beverly Cole, President
of the American Medical Association, no
in his characteristic way welcomed the
graduates and chided them not to be
troubled with a disease known as the
swelled head. He assured them that it
was generally fatal, and at times extremely
contagious.
81 hope" he said, ''that you will very
often save the body, but l further hope
you will always save your souls
In conclusion he turned to ex-Executive
Secretary Colnon, and on behalf OF the
entire medical profession OF the Pacific
Coast, thanked him and the Governor for
part been effected through them. Upon
taking his seat three cheers were proposed
and were given with vim.
The next toast, 'Our Graduates" was
responded to by DR.. Emerson, who,
although extremely modest, evoked con-
siderable laughter.
Professor Williamson responded to the
toast, 1.-THE Elevating Influence of Medi-
cine in Municipal Reform The burden
Of the professors remarks was upon the
fact that he knew absolutely nothing about
politics and was devoted to the cause of
medicine. These statements occasioned
the creation of variety OF bons-mots from
the end of the tables.
AS is the custom on all such occasions,
the veteran is expected to review the past,
and DR.. Pond of Napa was selected. being
the first man in California to receive a
diploma from the Medical Department of
the State University. This occurred in
1865 and since then the doctor had with
pleasure witnessed the marvellous growth
OF the alumni and marked it with pleasure.
In the matter of medical Education at
Home and Abroad" Professor William
Watt Kerr rose in defense of the medical
profession of America, and by statistics
and an array of facts proved that home
production in the line of medical men was
equal to the product OF Europe.

charges her with Systematically lll-using
seven-year- old boy, James Elmer johnson,
living with her. Mrs. Coon is not disposed
to give much satisfaction to the officers OF
the society or other inquirers, but when
once before she was charged with cruelty
to the boy her defense was that she had to
tie him in chair to keep him ont of mis-
chief.
Mr.. Well and other neighbors say that
she not only ties him in chair, but bru-
tally whips him and pulls his hair until
the child has become half-witted. These
statements Secretary McComb is rather re-
luctant to believe as, he says, the boy APP
pears bright enough.
There is a story behind all this, however.
On June %, Mrs. Coon went to the society
herself voluntarily, and asked that the boy
be taken off her hands. She told Secretary
MCComb the boy was the son of Captain
James Johnson, formerly master of the
bark W. F. Witzeman, but who is now on
his Buena Vista ranch in Sonoma County.
According to Mrs. Coon, the boys
mother was young woman named Nettie
Treble, who came to her place some time
previous to the child's birth, from Eureka.
Captain johnson was frequent visitor
there and acted mysteriously. After the
child's birth he took Miss Treble to
Tacoma and finally firing of her, sent her
home to her grandmother's, near Ashland,
Or, where she subsequently died.
Mrs. Coon says further that on the night
of the child's birth Captain Johnson was
induced to come into the house from where
he was hiding and then admitted that he
was its father.
Suit was once brought by Mrs. Coon
against Captain Johnson for $2100
for the boys maintenance, but she lost it.
Captain johnson now denies Mrs. Coon's
allegations as to thesboy paternal origin,
