against Attorney General Dubois was
manifested curing the day. Ills scalp Is

FOR The TIDAL CANAL,
A Delegation of County and
City Officials to Visit
Colonel Suter.
Will Ask That Seventy-Five Thou
sand Dollars Be Expended on
Oakland Harbor.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, !
908 Broadway, July s. (

OAkIASD DAN FRANCISCO NALL,l
9O6 Broadway. July s.
A large delegation of officials from Oak
land and Alameda will call upon Govern
ment Engineer Suter at his office in San
Francisco next Saturday morning. The
party will consist of Councilman Dam
and Capell, Drs. Beckwith and Cham ber-
lain of the Board of Health, Supervisors
Talcott and Church. Mayor Davie, City
Attorney Piersol. City Engineer Wilson
and Health Officer DR.. Bradley, all of
Oakland, and Health Officer Mclean,
Trustees Leydecker and Fletter, DIR. Lub-
book and DIR. Bull of the Board of Health,
w. A. Knowles and ]. B. Lanktree of the
Board of Education, City Engineer w. r.
Payer, City Attorney Taylor and City
Clerk Lamborn, all OF Alameda.
The delegation is going in the interest
of harbor improvement. 1t desires to
have the canal finished at once, as recon-
mended years ago by commissioners who
examined the project. 1t will require
about SIS, 900 to do this, but the report OF
the above mentioned commissioners saws
that the opening of the tidal canal and
the placing of food gates there will do
more to keep the harbor in condition than
a whole force of dredgers. They recon-
mended that this work be done and then
to let nature do the dredging for year or
two. The committee wants that work
done now.
Now that the work is on the continual
contract list all that is necessary is for the
engineer in charge to ask for the amount
of money that he wants to use on the
work. 1t is the desire of this delegation
of city and county officials to have
Colonel Suter make the above recon-
mendation to his superiors.

BUILDING ASSOCIATION SUIT.
The Suicide of Louis Blank Recalled by
the Testimony.

The Suicide of Louis Blank Recalled by
the Testimony.
The case of the Security Loan Associa-
ton against Mrs. Josephine ]. Pritchard
Is being heard in Judge Slack's court.
The case recalls the suicide of Louis
Blank, who swindled so many of the
building and loan companies short time
ago.
The Security Loan Association is suing
Mrs. Pritchard for balance due on loan
OF $4,000. Mrs. Pritchards husband, who
is now dead, borrowed that amount from
the ASSOCIATION and took twenty-one and
half shares of its stock. which he was to
pay up In weekly installments. He paid
$1lS2. which the association acknowledges
having received, and his wife claims he
paid $1669. which Blank received and did
not account for.
The association is ready to acknowledge
that Blank may have received and not ac-
counted for this money, but claims that he
in his will left to Mrs. Pritchard an
amount which offsets what he appro-
priated. On the other hand Mrs. Pritchard
says that was simply legacy and had
nothing TO do with the business of the
Security Loan Associa alton.
Mrs. Pritchard was on the stand nearly
all of yesterday afternoon and the matter
is not yet settled.

something tragic may be expected.

UAREQUITEO AFFECTION
Causes a Sixteen. Year.Old Girl
to Swallow Toothache
Drops.
A Public Meeting TO Be Held to Con.
slider Principal True's Removal
by the Education Board.

ALAMEDA, CAL, July s.-Unrequited
love and blighted affections made Miss
Jennie Carlston OF 529 Taylor avenue
despondent last night. She did not want
to live in this world any longer, and hav-
ing got that thought into her silly l6.year-
old head she visited the West End Drug
store at 9 o'clock. The drug clerk, Horace
B. Meader, sold her some three drahms
OF chloroform and cocaine. The combina-
tion known as toothache drops was for her
sister, so Miss Jennie said, and the drug
clerk took the precautlon to label the
bottle with poison label with its accom-.
panying skull and crossbones.
The symbol had no terror for Miss
Carlston. She retired to her bedroom.
uncorked the phial and poured the
contents down her throat to relieve her
heartache.
One Of her sisters short time afterward
found her in an unconscious state ana
gave the alarm. Drs. Morgan and Lub-
book were called in at once and after work
ing for three hours with her they finally
restored her to consciousness and placed
her out of immediate danger.
The gay deceiver's name is Hugh. and
he is q San Franciscan. 1t was learned
after her desperate act that she had writ
ten to him to meet her last night and
that she kept tryst at the corner of Santa
Clara avenne and Webster street until her
patience was exhausted. The relatives of
the girl are disinclined to discuss the oc-
currence, but she divulged to them that
she had been deceived and had lavished
her young affections on one who ill re-
Quilted them.
Miss Jennie is smart young woman,
rather prepossessing, and, so far as the
neigh bors know, had a happy home.
They declare her rash act was the result of
morbid brooding over her cross in love.
Her rawlings made it evident that this
subject was uppermost in her mind for. as
she was brought round. she made touch
ing appeals to her mother for her forgive
ness.

Peace in the Camp.
BERKELEY, CAL, July S.-The Nc
kinley League at their meeting last night
took measures as a body to patch up the
slight breach recently caused between
their organization and the Edgar Repub-
lican Club, by some of the individual
mem oers of the two political organiza-
tions. They passed set OF resolutions
embodying the general sentiment of the
club as regards the organization of which
Robert Edgar is the head, and in them it
was stated that no inharmony was exist
ant, and that they stood ready to CO.
operate with all Republican organizations.
Considerab bic friction had arisen between
the two clubs as a result of the stand
taken against the Edgar Club by ]. W.
Striker of the Mckinley League, who de-
cIared that the former had no right to ex-
ist as representative Republican organi-
zation, since their existence had not been

Nevada. The suspension of its charter
for ninety days iapsed at midnight oi
Monday and last night there was re-
union.
The first meeting of the post after sus-
pension was not one of unalloyed satisfac-
tion. There was vacant char and the
members all felt regretful that they had
not met as when they were forced to dis
continue meeting as post.
Ninety days ago. when the suspension
went into effect, Comrade Charles B.
Kimball was in the full vigor of life. He
was an active member Of Lyon Post and
keenly felt the humiliation of the suspen-
sion. On Decoration day the post went to
the cemetery early in the morning and
held their individual exercises. They were
prohibited from appearing as a funda-
mental part of the department in the pro-
cession and decorated alone. Comrade
KimbaIl was of the number that went to
the cemetery. He never missed a 6. A. r.
funeral and was one of the most frequent
in attendance at the meetings.
Two weeks ago Comrade Kimball
grounded his arms and next year his
grave will be decorated by those of his
comrades who remain. AT last nights re-
union much regret was expressed that

member could not attend officially and
pay the final honors as they desired.
Comrade Norton presided last night
over very large gathering. His ch air
was draped with the American flag VIII ich
was presented to Lyon Post by the Relief
Corps. There was a general hand-shaking
and exchange of greetings.
About a hundred members were present,
and several short speeches were made by
Comrades Goldsby, Talcott, Norton and
others. The suspension of the post seems
to have cemented the members more SOL
idly together in fraternal feeling.
Comrade Norton made a short address
in which he counseled the burying of the
hatchet and standing shoulder to shoulder
as in the past.
A cordial invitation was received from
Lyon Relief Corps No. 6, w. r. O., to at
tend a reception to be given by the COPS
to the post on Tuesday evening next.
This date will be the twelfth anniversary
of the organization of the corps. This
auxiliary has stood Loyalty by Lyon Post
during the dark days of its suspension.
and is the first to welcome them back to

The august body Of theologians that
went out to Haywards recently to cate
chise Alfred Bailey met with an unusual
experience.
Professor Mooar Of the Pacific Theologi-
cal Seminary, Rev. Drs. Pond and Foster
OF San Francisco and Rev. DR.. Chapman
OF Oakland went by invitation to examine
Mr.. Bailey for the purpose OF deciding
whether to recommend him for full ordi-

Mr.. Bailey has been q student preacher
at Raywards for some time and has given
entire satisfaction. He has won his way
into the hearts of his congregation and
they were anxious to have him completely
ordained so that they could extend him a
call to be their permanent preacher.
The congregation invited the theological
