The Next Grand Convention in 1897
to Be Held in San Fran

The International Convention of Chris

abandoned owing to the inability to make
arrangements with the railroad company.
At the last convention, held in Boston, it
was decided to hold the convention here
in 1897. Accordingly at the regular meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Golden Gate Christian Endeavor Union,
held in the early part of this month, a
committee was appointed to nominate the
committee of 1897. That committee will
have charge of all arrangements. 1t con-
ssts of George B. Littlefeld (chairman),
Joseph Sanchez, A. S. Johnson, Mrs.
Tenney and Miss Ida Clayton.
A special meeting of the executive COM
mittee was held last evening at the Y. NJ.
G. A. Halt to hear the report of that com
mittee. 1t recommended the appointment
of Rolla V. Watt as chairman of the 1897
committee. The report was unanimous
and it was asserted that Mr.. Watts ap-
poiutment will be hailed with enthusiasm
by all.
The next quarterly convention of the
Christian Endeavor will be held at CAL
vary Presbyterian Church Thursday even
ing.
At the meeting last night Henry Eden,
chairman of the committee on floating
work, recommended Thanksgiving dim
ner for seamen. The proposition was ap-
proved, and the dinner will be held in the
Mariners Church.
A resolution was passed expressing the
sympathy OF the union with the st. Johns

their pastor, Rev. d. Hanson Irwin.

at the corner of Market and Haight streets,
and it was nearly l o'clock before the first
wagon hove in sight. 1t proved to be one
belonging to Peter Costa, and had 125 gal
Ions of milk on board. The driver pro-
tested that the milk was pure, but the
Babcock test told different tale. It
showed butter fat of only 2 2-5 per cent,
with specific gravity of 1922. 1t was
dumped.
From Market and Halght streets Dock
cry went down into the Mission, paying
particular attention to the side streets. He
tested about twenty-five wagons, the milk
coming well within the standard. Coming
down Valencia street on the way to Van
Ness, Cough, Fulton and lower Market,
Dockery came across a wagon from the
University farm. The test showed it far
below the standard; in fact, one of the
worst samples yet tested. In order to be
on the safe side he inspected a second and
third can, the result being the same.
This wagon had about 100 gallons on board,
all of which was dumped in the gutter.
Warrants for the arrest of the offending
parties will be sworn out to-day.
Dockery was particularly happy yester-
day. Auditor Broderick had allowed his

WILLIAM c. LEE IS DEAD,
Passing of the Oldest Govern.
ment Employe on This
Coast.
A Veteran of the Mexican War and
the Rebellion-Fifty Years in
the Service.

William G. Lee, who up to the day of
his death had served the Government al
most continuously in various capacities
for over fifty years, passed away at his
home, Cos Diamond street, during the early
hours OF yesterday morning.
Mr.. Lee was the Oldest and probably the
best-known man in the Government SER
vice on this coast, and for twenty years
past had been a familiar figure about the
Custom-house.
He had been in rather poor health for
some time, and on Wednesday com planned
of being i'll and went home. His daughter
ministered to him during the night, and
early yesterday morning, on going to his
room to inquire how he felt, she found
him dead.
On learning of his demise Surveyor of the
Port English, under whom he was en-
ployed as a Customs Inspector, ordered
the flags on the barge offices and district
offices on the City front to be placed at
half-mast. He also detailed committee
of Mr.. Lees fellow-nspectors to act in
conjunction with the committees of the
various organizations to which the de-
ceased belonged in making arrangements
for the funeral.
Mr. Lee was a veteran of the Mexican
He enlisted in Company G OF the First
United States Artillery in 1S45 and served
with distinction. Later he came to San
Francisco and drove the first mule team
over the sandhills to the military reserva-
ton now known as the Presldio. On the
breaking out of the Rebellion he went to
the front to serve his country. In the '70's
he returned to this State and became suit
ler at the Presidio, where he remained
until 1877, when he was appointed a night
inspector in the Customhouse. In 1885 he
was appointed day inspector, in which
position he served up to the day of his
death.
Mr.. Lee was a member of the Mexican
Veterans Association, serving as its mar
shall for the past fifteen years, and of Lin
coin Post No. 1, G. A. R.
He leaves a family OF five. all married.
The funeral will be held from Pioneer
Hall at 2 80 o'clock Sunday, and the inter
ment will be in Laurel Hill Cemetery.

few months ago enjoyed good health.

NEW SOCIALIST CLUB.
italian Residents Band Themselves
Into Society and Adopt an
American Platform.

An Italian socialistic society has just
been formed in San Francisco, which
bears the name of ''Lega Operaio Social
ista." 1t is the first organization of the
kind in this City, and though it only num-
bers about thirty charter members they
confidently expect that their ranks will
rapidly be recruited.
The president of the new society, E.
Ferrero, said. yesterday: I'VE have
adopted the American socialistic platform
and have translated the rules which gov
ern American socialists-those are the
ones we intend to be guided by. Socialism
is pretty much the same all the world
over; there is really no difference between
the views held by an Italian socialist and
those held by an American.
Italy is one of the great strongholds of
the socialist. 1t ranks next to Germany
and France in that respect. Some of the
most thinking men in the country are in
its ranks-De Amicis, for instance, who is
one of our greatest writer's"
The new club has applied for affiliation
with socialistic organizations in Boston
and New York, but it has not yet been de-
cided to make any overtures toward similar
organizations in this City. Enrico Ira
vagio, the secretary. is drawing up a pro-
gramme, however, which may include such
steps.

tremes which will be touched during the
coming season at the California Theater,
which opens next Monday with Charley s

Snort engagements are to be one of the
features of the season. "Charley's Aunt"
will only hold the boards week. 1t will
be succeeded by 1.-THE War of Wealth." a
new play by Charles T. Dacy, who is known
as the author of "In Old Kentucky" The
play will be given with all the original eff
fects with which it was produced in Phila-
delphia last spring. The company Will in
clude Laura Booth, Belle Bucklin. Marion
A. Earle, Harry Lacy, Frank j. Kennan,

mystifying line. Robert Downing Will
follow, supported as usual by Eugene
Blair. and will present his new production

of legitimate dramas. Helena" which
is from the pen of Sardou, is said to be a
vivid and picturesque story OF Italy in the
fourteenth century.
Downing and his organization will make
way for vivacious May Irwin, who comes
this year at the head OF company of her
own, presenting John J. McNally's new
farce-comedy, "The Widow Jones'" Di-

day." said Mr.. Dockery yesterday, ''and it
may interest some to know just what the
Milk Inspector has done during that time.
In my midnight raids, as the press are
pleased to call them, l have stopped some
thing like $50 wagons. In addition to this,
l have secured 1S2 samples Of milk from
restaurants, many of which are still in the
hands of Bacteriologist Spencer. In all,
have dumped about 1000 gallons of milk,
which is not bad beginning when all the
difficulties are considered.
Il have prepared a few figures, which
will convey some idea of the extravagant
way adulteration was carried on before
this office was created. There are about
$4,000 gallons of milk used in San Fran
cisco daily. During my first week in
office all samples taken showed from 80 to
40 per cent water adulteration. These
samples, mind you, were taken from all
parts of the City-from along the water
front, out Mission and San Bruno roads,
and downtown restaurants.
Taking the average at 80 per cent it
shows that these $4,000 gallons of milk
contained no less than 27,0OO gallons of
water, to say nothing of preservaline, for
eign fats and other adulterants 1t is a
mere matter of arithmetic for one to de-
termine just how much San Franciscans
were paying daily for the water in their
milk.
~ am not surprised that this inspection
has brought about an increased demand
for mich COWS. This 2z0O0 gallons of
water must be supplied in some way, and
it can only be done legally by pure ar
ticle of milk. Presuming that each COW
will give an average of three gallons of
milk daily it means that 5000 milk givers
must be bought by the dairymen to take
the place of the 27 900 gallons of water. I
appreciate the fact that these are startling
figures, but they are none the less true for
all that.
81 read in The CALL this morning that
the Milkmen's Association had increased
the price of milk about 25 per cent. This
action is particularly gratifying to me be-
cause it is tacit acknowledgment that
the milk hitherto offered for sale was adul-
terated. If the milkmen would only un-
derstand one thing and that is the people
want pure milk and are willing to pay for
it, all this dumping business would be
practically done away with. However,
there are not few who are naturally dis
honest. and WILL therefore, continue their
nefarious practice, all the time hoping
that I will not appear on their particular
route. want to say to such parties, and
to all dairymen for that matter, that am
pledged by the duties of my office to eter-
nal vigilance, and that at no time during
my term in Office will there be a let.up.
In other words, l do not propose to sleep
long as 1 think there is work to be done on
the outside"
Early yesterday morning Inspector
Dockery made a raid, which resulted in
catching two unwary dairymen. In COM
pany with CALL representative and DIR.
E. J. Creely, veterinary surgeon to the
Board of Health, he left the City Hall
about 10:3o O'Clock Wednesday night.
Dockery hoped by the early start to catch
a few of the milkmen who had hitherto
escaped him, and he did.

BY False Pretenses.

Madison P. Terrill, contractor, was arrested
yesterday afternoon on warrant charging
him with obtaining money by false pretenses.
The complaining witness was H. Kiley, 17O5
Devisadero street. Terrill said he borrowed
$50 from Kiley about two years ago, but
through sickness in his family he has been un-
able to repay it, He promised Kiley to pay it
next Monday and was very much surprised
when arrested. He was released on bonds.
