Boots and Shoes About the Only Industry
That Is Flourishing.

New York, June 27.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly statement say: The
monetary outlook is not yet clear to
some. The strength shown in recent
conventions by advocates of silver coin
age, and expectation that all the ele-
ments favoring that policy may yet be
concentrated. incline them TO a wait
ing attitude. Their uncertainty re-
tards Improvement, Notwithstanding the
more widely prevalent feeling that the
monetary action of the st. Louis con-
vention will be sustained by the people.
But many mills have waited as long, as
they can with safety. and signatures
have been given by enough cotton mills
OF Fall River to ensure temporary
stoppage, ii is stated, the nature or
which is now under discussion in con-
ference with the Providence manufac-
turers. Woolen mills are acting with
out concert, but IA are mentioned in dis
patches as having closed this week.
There is no similar movement In other
industries, though important contro-
verses as to wages of iron puddlers and
other hands make 1t likely that the an
nual stoppage in that industry may last
longer than usual.
The weakness of wheat, which has de-
clined 2.10 cents. and of cotton. which
Is II lower for spots. though less for
futures, have full explanation in de-
cidedly good crop prospects.
1t may be doubted whether the boot
and shoe industry has ever been In bet
ter shape on the whole, though manufac-
turers complain that an advance in
prices is necessary. which dealers are
very reluctant to pay. The evidence OF
exhaustion of stocks grows stronger, but
the demand is very largely for low priced
goods.
The textile manufacturers, as has been
said. are generally devising curtailment
of production. and the only change in
prices is downward.
Failures for the week have been 217

PoUaHKEEpsIE, N. Y, June 27. .


The race was a struggle long to be
remembered. The four crews lined up
for positions about $50. There was a
good deal OF trouble, however. Just al
the referee had asked the usual question
about getting ready. Captain Bullard OF
Harvard raised his hand and COM
planned that Columbia's stakeboat was
below the line. Cornell and Pennsyl-
vania agreed TO this, and the referee
ordered IT back. This took some mo-
ments, and then the crews were lined up
again. To be sure that there should be
no error or claim of unfairness he asked
each crew. Are you ready. Cornell?"
Are you ready, Harvard?" etc. TO

R0URKE IS RE|NSTATED.
The Police Commissioners Think
He Is Innocent of
Bribery.
Where the Money Went, However, Is
Secret of the Woman, Hannah,
and John Doe.

The Police Commissioners met last even-
ing and considered the case of Patrolman
Thomas Rourke, who had demanded an in
vestigation on the charge of embracery.
Chief Crowley submitted the report of
Sergeant Wollweber, containing all the
statements in the case made by those con-
cerned. The conclusion reached by the
Commissioners was that there was no evil
dence to prove that Rourke had been i'm
plicated in any dishonorable transaction.
The Chiefs action in suspending Rourke
Tuesday was approved. The latter was
reinstated IN his former position on the
force.
Bush, the Vancouver farmer. alleged to
have been robbed by the cambridge wo-
man, made statement to Captain Robin
son to the effect that he had given the
money to the woman to count in their
room at 1914 Stockton street and fell asleep
shortly afterward, leaving the money in
her possession. When he awoke both
woman and money were missing.
The woman, Fiat Annie." will appear
before Judge Joachimsen this morning on
charge of grand larceny. The evidence
introduced may tend to throw some light
or the disappearance of the money.
The hardest thing for the woman to
explain, in order 10 throw suspicion off
Special Officer Mcintyre, will be the con-
sistency of her emphatic denial that she
met him at A. M. Saturday last, and her
statement that she was so befuddled with
drink that she does not know where she
was nor whom she was with from Friday
evening to Sunday morning.

POLICE COURTS
ARE UNDER FIRE,
The Grand Jury Has Be-
gun a Rigid Investi-
cation.
FINES GOING WRONG.
Funds That Have Never Found
Their Way Into the City
Treasury.
CAREFUL EXPERTS AT WORK
Judges, Clerks and Attorneys Will
Be Called Upon for Testimony
Tomorrow.
CAREFUL EXPERTS AT WORK.

When the Grand Jury assemblies to-mor-
row for its regular semi weekly session
the officials of two of the four Police
Courts will probably be called to explain
II they can certain transactions which
have come under the observation of the
jury, and which are deemed worthy of the
strictest investigation.
Since the present Grand Jury began the
exercise of its duties numerous intima-
tions have been received that the amount
of fines collected in Police Courts . and 4
would not tally with the sums turned into
the City treasury for the use of the munich
pal government.
1t was said that in cases where fines of
$50 or $50 were assessed on offenders con-
victed of petty crimes only $40 and in
many cases but So was sent to the treas
ury, and that the difference was diverted
into the pockets OF those who had no right
to the same.
Just previous to its recent vacation the
jury began an investigation of the matter
and sent its expert to look into the books
OF the County and check them up with the
accounts in the Treasurer's office.
1t is expected that the results of these
investigations will soon be made known.
They have been kept secret quite success
fully so far, but yesterday it was stated
that even worse condition o. affairs than
was anticipated has been found and that
many cases were discovered where fines of
from S. to S25 had been collected and no
returns whatever made to the custodian
OF the public funds.
The TACT that the expert misunderstood
TO certain extent the orders of Foreman
Moskey OF the Grand Jury in relation to
the matter, and took more roundabout
way than was necessary to ascertain the
facts needed to pin the matter down to
the proper par ties, seems to have retarded
the investigation somewhat, but enough
information has been gained, it is said, to
warrant the belief that an important lead
has been struck, and the matter will be
sifted to the bottom. Thus far no effort
has been made 10 ascertain the total
amount of money that is said to have been
diverted from its proper channels, but it is
believed TO be large enough to bring the
offenders within the Jurisdiction of the
Grand Jury, and, should an adequate ex-
PLANTATION not be forthcoming, indictments
are expected to be brought.
Judge Low and his clerk of Police Court
4 and Judge Conlan and Clerk Morganstern
of Police Court 2. with the possible addition
of the attorneys of both courts, will be
called to cast as much light as possible on
the whereabouts of the money the Grand
Jury is interested in.
No suspicion attaches to either of the
judges, as they are not supposed to han
die the money assessed in fines, but there
private records are expected to aid mate
rally, by comparisons with the court rec
ords, IN throwing light on the mystery,

Geo. A. NEWHALL ELECTED
Official Result of the Pacific
Union Clubs Con-
test.
Committee Appointed to Change the
System of ElectiHg
Officers.

AS foreshadowed in yesterdays CALL
only one director of the nine on the Paci-
fic-Union Club ticket was chosen in Tues
days election. The candidates voted for
were: Winfield S. Keyes, John W. G..
Maxwell, Charles A Grow, Evan ]. Cole
man. Bernard Faymonville, George T.
Mayre, Clark W. McAfee. Eusebius j.
Molera, George a. Newhall.
Had nine directors been chosen the new
board would have organized yesterday
and elected a president. but as only George
a. Newhall was chosen another election
must take place.
The members of the progressive ele-
ment, who did not care to introduce an
opposition ticket, made their influence
felt by practically defeating the regular
ticket. Now it is reported that there is to
be complete change in the classification
of directors and the system OF club elec-
tions. A committee was appointed night
before last to provide for board of seven
members to be elected annually.
When the next election takes place the
leaders of the progressive element ill put
a ticket in the field and under the banner
of progress rally ali who are in favor of a
permanent club home owned and not hired
by the club. No fault is found with the
present site overlooking Union square and
near the principal business thoroughfares
of the City. but there is a strong objection
to paying rent for leased premises. Ad-
vocates of progress argue that the leading
clubs of the world no longer occupy rented
houses, but dwell in establishments
deYoted exclusively to club purposes.
The Paeifc-Union, they assert, cannot
plead poverty, as its members are wealthy
and its resources ample to maintain
clubhouse of modern grandeur. Some
time in the future the changes contem-
plated must be made, hence many hold
that the first steps should now be taken.
The old-timers, who constitute the con-
servative element of the club, will resist
up-to-date innovations. The present pros
poets please them. Club life to their way
of thinking is happy enough when the
best dinners obtainable are served and the
easiest chairs ever devised are placed with
in reach.
While the old-timers are not likely to
get excited by this agitation for progress
they will rally to defend the existing quiet
and luxury.
The indications therefore promise an ex-
citing campaign and a red-hot election in
the usually quiet precinct of the Pacific
Union Club. The new method of select
ing officers is almost sure to provide that
the president shall be chosen by a direct
vote of the memb bers. The strength and
boldness displayed by the progressive ele-
ment in the election last Tuesday give as
surance that progressive ticket from top
to bottom will be placed in the field.

INSURANCE CHANGES.
A Number of General Agencies @
Companies in This City to
Re RemOVed.

"A NumDer OF Oeueral agencies OF
Companies in This City to
Be Removed.
The sharp rate war which has been GO
ing on among the insurance companies
here for the last year has brought about a
number of upheavas and changes IN some
Of the agencies here.
After the 1st of next month the general
Office of the Continental of New York will
be withdrawn from this City and trans
ferred to Chicago. A local agency will,
however, be retained, with J. w. Maxwell
in charge.
1t is thought that the old Pacific Bank
property and other holdings will be sold,
as it is not the intention of the company
to make any improvements or investments
in San Francisco.
The Phoenix of Brooklyn, Brown, Craig
81 Co., 407 Montgomery street,'is contem-
plating change In which they will
abolish their general agency on this coast
and be represented by local agents report
ing directly to headquarters. The firm of
Brown, Craig e. Co., after partnership of
eighteen yeasr. will be dissolved.
1t is expected that Vice. President J. III.
Mitchell OF the Phoenix of Hartford and
V. P. Snow of the Home of New Y York will
arrive here in a few days. These two COM
paries, which act together and which are
represented here by Arthur E. Magill,
have been the principal obstacle to a pro-
posed insurance compact and it is believed
that the presence of the two officers will In
some manner bring a change in the Phe-
nix Home policy.
The fire losses on the Pacific Coast dur.
ing the first quarter of last year approx
mating 81, 900, ,000 and the fact that premi-
ums rule 25 per cent less than twelve
months ago has had much to do with
bringing about the present situation.
