TO COOK HOME PRODUCTS
The California Club Organizes a
School for That Pur.
pose.
Housekeepers Will Be Taught to Use
California Foods in Their
Dishes.

To assist in the advancement of Cali for
MIA by demonstrating what can be done in
the home with products of the State is the
purpose of cooking school organized at
the California Club, 131 Post street, by
Mrs. Margaret Touchard yesterday.
Mrs. Touchard is an earnest advocate Of
home products, and proposes to educate
housewives in the culinary art, using only
California products in teaching the women
to cook. She will use the home product
when it is as good as the imported article,
for, as she said yesterday, she does not
propose to encourage the production of an
inferior quality by using 1t in prefer
ence to better one produced abroad
The efforts of Mrs. Touchard to induce
housekeepers to use home products are
Endorsed by the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers' Association.
In organizing the cooking school yester-
day large mem bership was enrolled, and
classes will meet at the California Club
every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Yesterday Mrs. Touchard gave demon
STATIONS of what could be done with home
products in the preparation OF Thanks
giving dinner She used new recipes of
her own and the result was number of
dainty dishes, salads, jellies, buildings,
cakes, etc.. which were delicious.
The ladies in attendance were enthusi-
astc over what had been accomplished
with home products entirely, even to the
recipes.
The school is the outgrowth of the Cali
fornia banquet given September 16, as a
preliminary to the organization of cook
ing school.

AS a Result of the Steamer
Rate War Vallejo Will
Suffer.
BUSINESS IS DEMoRALIzED.
People Come Ali the Way From the
Navy Yard Town to Buy in
San Francisco.

The war of rates among the steamers
plying between this City and Vallejo
threatens to not only completely democrat
ize business interests of Vallejo but to
seriously cripple trade throughout the en-
tire surrounding country.
The merchants of Vallejo and the sur
rounding country are very bitter in their
complaints at the action of the Piper.
Alden, Goodall Company in lowering the
passenger rate from San Francisco ito
Vallejo from % cents, which was the
charge made by the Southern Pacific
Company's steamer Herald. to 10 cents,
which induces the people to come to this
City in order to do their purchasing.
A recent publication in the Vallejo
Chronicle said that Last Sunday gentle.

yard workmen at Mare Island approached
a number of patrons OF the firm of Piper,
Alden & Co., both consumers and mer-
chants. The former were asked to with
draw their patronage from the firm direct,
and the latter were notified that to have
their freight brought by the Sunol would
mean for them loss of business
This would seem to indicate that in the
next few days systematic boycott would
be established all around. 1t is not known
that there is any organization OF navy
yard employees or others to affect the

but nevertheless there can be no doubt
but that it is being inaugurated.
A few months ago. when the Monticello
was put on by Hatch Bros. to ply be-
tween this City and Vallejo, the mer-
chants of Contra Costa County made no
general complaint, as that steamer made
rate not materially lower than the rail-
road fare charged by the Southern Pacific,
taking their chances for a share OF the
peoples patronage, and they have had it.
Seeing that the Monticello was doing a
good business, the Herald was put on in
opposition, carrying passengers for 25
cents, and in addition they engaged in the
freight business in opposition to the Sunol,
beginning the first of this month.
Up to the time the Southern Pacific
Company put on its new boat, the steamer
Sunol did all the freighting and the Month
cello had goodly share of the passenger
traffic. Since then, however, the Herald
has secured large portions OF both.
The owners of the Sunol were then COM
PEELED to protect themselves, and they con-
tended that to do this they must carry pas
sengers, and the Monticello people likewise
contended that to keep in business they
must carry freight.
The people who travel will enjoy tenn
porary benefit, but the merchants Of VAL
Iejo will see the business that they are en-
titled to gradually slipping from their
hands into those of the business men OF
San Francisco.

MISSING FROM SCHOOL.
Strange Disappearance of Lille How
land, a Girl IL Years
of Age.

Lille Rowland, stepdaughter of Frank
Stagleish, an employe of the Harbor Com
missioners. living at 504 Natoma street,
has been missing since Monday afternoon,
and the police have been vainly trying to
solve the mystery of her disappearance.
Although only IL years OF age she is
feet tall and weighs about 100 pounds. She
attended a school not far from her home.
She was at school as usual on Monday
morning and returned home at noon for
lunch. After partaking of lunch she left
again for school, but from that time she
has not been seen or heard OF.
AS she did not return the stepfather be-
came anxious, and questioned some OF her
schoolmates, but none of them had seen
her at school in the afternoon, and could
not give him any information as to where
she might have gone. Then he notified
the police. and last night and yesterday
her description was read to the watches
at the different police stations.
Stagleish and his wife are very much
agitated over the strange disappearance of
the girl. They cannot assign any cause
for it as she had no reason to be discon-
tented with her treatment at home. and
seemed in the best of spirits when she left
for school. The family has not lived long
on Natoma street, and the girl was not
very well acquainted in the neighborhood.

the room where he found King playing
the piano, all in the short space of three
minutes. This conversation, he says, was
opened by Juror Smyth meeting him on
the street, shaking hands and expressing
sorrow for "Mrs. Durrant and myself"
Copies of all these affidavits were given
the District Attorney last Friday after
court adjourned. and, according to Gene
raj Dickinson, he did not suppose they
would be made public until read in open
court. The defend ant's counsel is positive
that these documents were not given to
the press by him or any one connected
with the defense.
1t is not improbable that Mr.. Dickinson,
in his argument for new trial. will refer
in vigorous language to the now-famous
REYNOLDS letters. 1t is his opinion that
these letters had their origin either in the
prosecution, or the Office of certain news
paper which he refuses to name at this
time. He is confident, however, that the
prosecution knew of their existence long
before they were published.

THE DURRANT CASE AGAIN
Defendants Counsel to Begin Ar.
gument for a New Trial
To-Day.
General Dickinson Thinks the Prose-
cution Too Free in Giving
Out Testimony.

The case Of Theodore Durrant, convicted
nearly thirty days ago of numbering
Blanche Lamont, and still unsentenced,
dict of the jury before Judge Murphy this
morning.
1t will probably require three or four
days to dispose of the matter, so far as the
lower court is concerned, as defendants
counsel, General Dickinson, in support of
his motion for new trial, has something
like $50 closely typewriter pages to read.
This Is independent, of course, of such in
terruptions as will necessarily occur in the
reading of a voluminous document of this
character. Then again Mr.. Barnes argu-
ment in opposition to new trial will con-
sumo some time, so it is reasonable to as
sumo that it will be several days before
Judge Murphy will render decision. In
fact it will probably be Monday or Tues
day next before the presiding Judge can
pass sentence on the convicted man or
grant him new trial. One of these two
things must be done, for there can be no
further stay of proceedings in his court.
General Dickinson, in his argument for
a new trial, will plead the usual statutory
grounds, and further, that the trial was
not SO conducted as to insure the de-
fendant fair and impartial hearing, such
as is assured him by law. This will be
prisoner and Durrant Sr. furnishing
lengthy documents.
w. A. Durrant, father of the prisoner,
says, among other things in his statement,
that he met Juror Smyth on November 2,
that gentleman stating to him that he did
not believe the prisoners story OF fixing
the sunburners and then going down into

thought the same would be done here.
The benefits to the entire State were
dwelt upon, and he then told of the en-
thusiastic meetings held in San Francisco,
and said he knew that Santa Cruz is in
line ready to do her share.
LieuIenant-G Governor Jeter made short
address, arguing the convention is for the
benefit of the entire coast, and that it
would bring to this coast the most promi-
nent men in political and business circles
In the country; that If the convention
should be held from the center of popula-
ton and be held in San Francisco it would
be grand thing. He suggested that a
committee on resolutions should be APP
pointed and report this evening The
committeeman appointed were: Mayor
Effey, Professor D. C. Clark, Assessor Mat
tison, Senator Bart Burke and District At
torney earle Lindsay. The committee on
resolutions reported and the following
resolutions were adopted by the meeting:
WHEREAS, Believing that untold benefit will
result to the State of California and to the ma
ton at large through the increased knowledge
OF the whole country by our representatives if
they should be permitted to visit the Far West
to attend great National Convention; there
fore be it
ResoIeed, That the city and county of Santa
Cruz heartily indorse the effort being made by
the citizens of California to secure the holding
of the National Republican Convention of 1896
in the City of San Francisco.
RESOLVED, That the citizens of Santa Cruz in
mass meeting assembled pledge their best
efforts and united support in assisting to
secure the accomplishment of the desired pur-
pose.
RESOLVED, That inasmuch as a large sum will
be necessary to meet the expenses of this con-
vention, the citizens assembled are ready to
pledge their just proportion of the required
funds.
The following committee on finance was
appointed: John L. Sullivan chairman,
James Mcneil, John r. Chace, George Da-
belich, William ii. Limb, James f. Gun
ningham. T. V. Mathews, w. H. Biar and

A motion was made that committee of

mittee. The chair appointed the follow
ing to serve on the committee: A. A.
Taylor, A. +. Him, Judge j. FL. Logan,
Senator Burke, Professor D. c. Clark H.

POLICE GET A SETBACK.
Judge Low Makes a Ruling That Will
Cause Trouble.


Nine Chinese women appeared in Judge
Lows court yesterday morning to answer
the charge OF giving an indecent exhibition.
The women were arrested by the China
town squad.
Policeman John Dougherty testified that
he had given one of the women so cents as
an inducement to give an exhibition, and
two other officers testified that they had
seen the performance.
Judge Low at once dismissed the cases,
remarking: 81 will never convict in a
case where it appears that the officers have
induced a person to commit crime.
This woman was paid by the officer to vio-
late the law. It also appears that the
other two officers were accomplices, and
the law provides that a conviction shall
not be had upon the unsupported testi
mony of accomplices.
The police say that Judge Lows ruling
will make it impossible to suppress vice in
Chinatown. Under such a ruling it would
also be impossible to convict persons Of
running a faro game, for all the persons in
the place would be accomplices.

SANTA CRUZ MAGNANIMOUs.
She Is AnCio,ts to NhOsC San Francisco
Her Gratitude.

Her Gratitude.
SANTA CRUZ. CAL, Nov. 26.-A mass
meeting was held this evening at the
Superior Court rooms in answer to call
from Lieutenant-Governor Jeter and John
T. Sullivan, members of the promotion
committee. in the matter of the holding
of the next Republican National Conven-
ton in San Francisco in 1896.
Lieutenant Governor Jeter was elected
chairman, and Assessor Frank Madison
secretary. John r. Sullivan, one of the
first subscribers to the convention fund,
addressed the meeting. He told of the
benefit that would accrue from the hold
ing of the convention in San Francisco.
He dwelt especially on the reasons why
Santa Cruz. with the rest of the State,
should pull for the convention, mention
ing that as Santa Cruz draws largely for
her support from San Francisco, she
should at least show her friendship and
prove that Santa Cruz does appreciate it.
He spoke of the large and enthusiastic
meetings that were held during the car
nival by the citizens of San Francisco, and

Getting Ready to Be at the Ma
tional Committee
Meeting.
SANTA CRUZ IS MAGNANIMOUs.
She Is Showing a Spirit That Is "a
Good Example for Every Town
in California.

Day after day our delegates.to Washing
ton continue to depart. and when the Ma
tional Committee meets on the 10th of
December it will be seen that California
has some good fighters in the field to
champion her cause for the next Republic
can National Convention.
General Friedrichs is by this time in the
South, where he is doing all the work pos
sible for one man to do in order to get
what prestige he can there for California.
1t means great deal of hard work, and no
one recognizes it more than the delegates
who have been selected to do the work. 1t
is now settled that San Francisco and the
State generally is bent upon getting the
convention for this City, and the interest
shown among the live men of the interior
towns is very gratifying to the promotion
committee. Santa Cruz is now in the
midst of her work, and in very magnani-
nous way is striving to repay San Fran
cisco for what she did for Santa Cruz dur
ing her water carnival. Such acts by big
city like San Francisco are in part her
duty, but if Santa Cruz considers she owes
US an obligation and wants to square the
same, the metropolis is perfectly willing,
especially when the exhibition of gratitude
means so much to us.
Yesterday Charless B. Tidball, who en-
gineered the decorations and spectaculars
of the Santa Cruz carnival some months
ago. offered to do 500 worth of decorating
in the pavilion, provided the convention
can be secured for this City. There will
be plenty of this sort of work to do, and
Mr.. Tidball's offer is to be appreciated.

some time ago on a proving tour" said
another woman who was In the room and
addressing herself to Mrs. Martin. Don't
you remember that she wanted to know if
the spirit of a murdered person ever ap-
peared and made known who had commit
ted the crime?''
The premises adjoining are occupied by
Mrs. Bennett and other spirit mediums,
who felt scandalized that she should have
been brought into the case, sbut," said
she, Il have no objection to having my
premises searched, for there are no bones
there nor is there restless spirit roaming
around. There is missionary work done
outside of this world and if there had been
a restless spirit about here it would have
made itself known through this mission
airy work. Why, this morning | went
down ID the cellar and made test when
L was assured that there was no restless
spirit about these premises and that there
never had been one."
Mrs. Young and her companions visited
this place and were more cordially received
than by Mrs. Martin. They took a view of
the premises, after which they took their
departure without having discovered any
thing that would lead them to make an
extended search.
The husband of Mrs. Gottliebson, when
seen yesterday, said that he does not be-
lleve in the notion that has taken posses
sion or his vile as to her brother, and
stated that he would not permit her to OBJ
tam any more search warrants.
Mrs Gottliebson was still of the opin-
ION last evening that the information she
had received was correct; that her deceased
brother had conversed with her, and that
inside of a week there would be develop
ments in connection with the case that
would fill page of THE CALL. She also
stated that Major Pico, her brother, whom
she had learned was angry at the course
she had pursued, called al her house, but
she refused to admit him.
A few days ago some one asked if the
disappearance of man named Pico had
ever been reported at police headquarters.
Mr.. cambridge, who has charge of the
criminal records, said that the only Pico
he knew of was one A. Pico, who had been
sent to San Quentin for horse stealing; was
released and sent to Folsom for a second
felony, and after his release was again ar
rested and sent to Folsom for the second
time; that in 'S5 he escaped, and was now
a fugitive from justice.
The building under which the search
was made was up to three years ago the
property of an elderly lady named Bald
win. She is an invalid at this time, and
declined to see any one in relation to the
alleged murder of Pico.

THE PICO DISAPPE ARANCE,
No Further Legal Search Made
for the Bones on Hayes
Street.
A Medium Who Made Test for Rest.
less Spirit Fails to Dis.
cover One.

No action was taken by the authorities
Yesterday to continue the search at 10Y
Hayes street or elsewhere for the body, or
rather the bones of Andres B. Pico, who it
is claimed by his sister, Josephine Colt
Hebson, was murdered some ten years
ago. and so far as the police are concerned
the matter is at an end. But not so with
Mrs. Gottliebson and Mrs. Young, the
spirit medium, who is the moving spirit
in the case. Yesterday they visited the
CITY Hall for the purpose of consulting
with Captain Lees, but were unable to see
him during the afternoon. So they re-
turned in the evening to lay before him
ee rtain matters of interest which neither
desired to communicate to any one but the
captain.
In the afternoon Mrs Young, who since
the failure to discover any trace OF human
remains in the basement OF 1O1 Hayes
street declared that since last Saturday
the bones had been removed from the
place where originally buried and rein
tered in sbe basement OF lO3 hayes
street, occupied by Mrs. Martin, spirit
medium, visited that place IN company
with Mrs Gottliebsen and young man,
but from the reception they received 1t
was evident that they were not welcome.
The purpose of the visit was to OBTAIN
permission to make search OF the base
OF securing a search warrant, but II ialiea,
for they were met at the door by Mrs.
Martin, who asked them if they had war
rant to enter her house. The answer IN
the negative was met with the assertion,
uttered in a tone marked by anger, you
can't cross the sill of my door unless you
have a warrant, and no one can make q
search without the consent of my land
lord"
"Im angry" said Mrs. Martin while
peering through the lace curtains OF her
parlor at the trio that stood on the SIDE
walk-"angry that that woman should say
that the bones were moved and buried I'M
der my house; and l think she ought to be
ashamed of herself bringing spirituallsm
into iisrepute and making burlesque OF
it. I'll have her to understand there is no
grave under this house, and that there is
no restless spirit there"

ADULTERATED MILK.

Inspector Dockery Will Swear Out Two
Warrants To-Day.
Milk Inspector DockeIy made an official
visit yesterday afternoon to about dozen
groceries and coffee saloons south of Mar
ket street. and took sample from each of
the milk sold or supplied to their patrons.
The samples were all tested last night,
and out of the number only two were
found to be adulterated. AS result war
rants will be sworn out this morning for
the arrest of J. Baunin, grocer, Natoma
street, and "John Doe" proprietor of the
Sunset coffee parlor, at 106 Second street.
The inspector was pleased to find such a
large proportion of good wholesome milk.
