ically said, form at least the indispens-

Haggard declares that he writes his books
simply by keeping at work on them. And
the industry Of Mr.. Rudyard Kipling may
be measured by the fact that he is said to
have written 1.-THE Record of Badalla

to have made considerable corrections on
the proofs. The late Professor Huxley
was another writer whose industry in per-
fectlng his literary expression was only
rivaled by his genius.

ROW OVER AN ELECTION
Trouble Over the Selection of
the Building Trades
Agents.
How the Shinglers' Union May Be
Admitted Into the Central
Council.

The election of two walking delegates or
business agents for the Building Trades
unions last evening, was productive of
anything but satisfactory results. These
positions were held recently by r. T. Nc
Ivor and H. M. Saunders, with the under
standing that they should hold only until
permanent agents could be selected at q
general election by all of the affiliated
un ions. Last night the election was held
at LIS Turk street and good representa-
ton was present.
The candidates were W. Danielson and
R. T. McIvor of the Painters Union, and
III. M. Saunders and C. F. Schadt of the
Carpenters. Although the position Of
walking delegate Is worth only So so per
day at present, the election was extremely
exciting. The ballots were printed slips
bearing the heading of the Building
Trades Council, and spaces for two names
After 3 series of wrangles the ballots were
called in and the announcement was
made that r. 7. McIvor and C. +. Schadt
had been duly elected. Then came a
rumpus. It was openly charged that the
sacredness of the ballot had been grossly
violated and that ballots had been
stuffed in by the handful, the extra slips
having been received from the outside.
Saunders and his friends state that they
Will appeal to the council and to the
unions to have the election declared void
upon the ground of irregularity and fraud.
The members of the building trades
unions are highly gratified over the action

MOSS TAKES CHARGE.
The Traffic Manager of the Valley Road
in Harness,

John Moss, the recently appointed traffic
manager of the Valley road, assumed the
duties of his Office yesterday. 1t is not
expected that the road will be ready for
business until the last of July. Some
freight might be carried at the present
time, but to undertake any transportation
work now would interfere with the prog
ress of the construction work. 1t is the
purpose of the new road not to undertake
to do any business until it is thoroughly
equipped and in position to handle it in an
expeditions and satisfactory manner.
1t is all that the rolling-stock now in
service can do to keep the material moving
to the front as rapidly as it is needed, and
before any attempt is made to carry freight
or passengers a considerable addition will
be made to the rolling-stock.
Although there will be no business to
look after for at least three months, Mr..
Moss will find his every hour occupied in
getting through the large amount OF neces-
sary preliminary detail work, such as
ascertainine what tariff schedules are re-
quired, making up these schedules and de-
vising the manifold blank forms required
in the railroad business. His headquarters
will be at the present Offices of the Valley
road
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-15

1t will be seen that no change is made ir
either third or fourth class rates, and that
in all other cases there is a reduction rang
ing from 2 cents to 20 cents per 100 pounds.
In this connection it may be stated the
eastbound rates here quoted are also ap-
plcable to the westbound, and it is in
these that the important changes are
made, as heretofore the westbound rates
have been considerably lower than the
eas.bound.
All terminal class rates, it is understood,
are to be abolished. No details have yet
come to hand on the commodity rates
westbound traffic is moved, and even a
larger percentage OF the eastbound busi-
ness comes under those rates. 1t was in
reference to the effect of these changes as
a whole that the statement was made in
The CALL yesterday that there would be
an average advance of 25 per cent in all
transcontinental rates, and this assertion
is borne out by these latest developments
These rates are considerable of surprise
TO those who have been led to believe for
several weeks that they would show gem
eral advance.
All the roads which are members of the
new association are busilv a. work prepar-
ing their new schedules for the printer, and
it is expected that they will be ready for
distribution to allow the new rates to be-
come effective on May 1. after the necessary
ten days notice to the public.
G. f. Smurr, the general freight agent of
the Southern Pacific Company, who has
been representing his company at the Mil
waukee meeting, is expected back by Tues
day Of next week.

EXPECT THE CONVENTION,
Local Endeavorers Are Working
Hard for the Ma.
tional.
The Same Railroad Rates Can Be Sc.
cured as Were Promised the
Republicans.

A strenuous effort will be m ade to secure
the Christian Endeavor convention of 97
for this City.
Rolla V. Watt, the energetic chairman
of the "'97 committee" appointed for that
purpose, said yesterday that he had every
reason to believe the same railroad rates
could be secured for the Endeavor conven-
ton as had been offered the Republican
$50 for the round trip from Chicago.
"Why not?" said he. ''Won't we bring
more people here than the Republicans
could possibly have got together? 1t is
business proposition.'
The committee will soon issue an appeal
to the public for guarantee of $40, 600 for
the expenses OF the convention, and ex-
poets generous response from the citizens
who were so liberal in view OF the hoped
for political convention. At least three
halls must he rented, for it Will be neces.
sary to hold parallel meetings. 1t will
require $1,000 chairs to seat the visiting
and local delegates. The expense of special
literature for the occasion will be heavy,
and there is no doubt that the sum men
toned will scarcely cover the necessary
expenditures.
William Shaw, the treasurer and man
Of affairs of the Worlds Society of Chris
tian Endeavor, will arrive from Tacoma
Saturday and SPEAK in Oakland that even
ing. On Sunday at P. NJ. he will address
big meeting at the auditorium of the
Young Mems Christian Association. The
meeting will be under the auspices of the
Golden Gate Christian Endeavor Union.
Mr.. Shaw will be a guest at the Palace
Hotel during his stay in the City, which
will be brief. He will go to San Jose on
Monday and deliver an address in the
Garden City the same evening. He will
return to San Francisco on Tuesday anc

Mr.. Shaw's avowed purpose in visiting
the coast is to secure an interest in the
International Christian Endeavor Conven-
ton to be held at Washington in July. He
vii, however, consider the advantages of
this City as place of meeting for the next
National convention. Local Endeavorers

X-RAYS AND BAC|LLL
lie Conte on the Importance of
Their Reported An.
tagonism.
The Veteran Scientist Hopes That
the Germ. Destruction May
Be Possible.

''The only thing l have, to say with
regard to the reported destruction of
bacilli by the Chicago physicians" said
DR.. Joseph LIE Conte to-day, sis that the
importance of the matter is so very great
that we can we'll afford to wait with sus-
pended Judgment until their results may
be further confirmed. Indeed, we may
sincerely hope that what they claim will
be wholly supported by competent author
tiles.
''It may be very true that the X.rays
will destroy bacilli when they are inde-
pendent of living tissue. as the expert
mentors in Chicago claim, but there the
question arises whether they can be killed
when in living tissue. The X-rays in de-
stroying the bacilli and other disease
germs may also destroy the tissue in
which these germs are seated.
THE true effect which the rays will have
will, of course, come in time. Expert
ments along this very same line have not
escaped the notice of the prominent physi-
clans and scientists in France, Germany
and in New York. Mum bers of them have
conducted tests of the effects of the X-ray
on bacilli, but all with negative results, SO
far as is known, and hence positive results
must be reliable in the extreme to offset
these negative ones. shall watch with
interest the developments in the case, real
izng the great Importance which ir will
have in the medical world If proved to be
successful means of destroying baciili in
living tissue.
Il only hope that what DR.. Pratt and
Professor Wightman believe is posi-
bic to be done with the ray in DESTROYING
disease germs will prove to be reality,
but certainly the evidence must be very
strong in its favor before the negative re-
suits of other eminent scientific men can
be overthrown. This is all 1 have to say
in relation to the matter at the presant
time"

MARITIME REFORM.
Unique Suggestion Made With Refer

ence to Certificates for the Masters
of Sailing Vessels.
In a communication addressed to W. L..
Merry as president of the Chamber of
Commerce McNevin brothers call attention
to what they claim to be the general in
competency of masters of sailing craft as
compared with that of commanders of
steam vessels. As a remedy for this state
of affairs it is suggested that the Chamber
Of Commerce in the plenary exercise of it's
sound judgment, unaffected by either fear
or favor, nominate and appoint most
critically selected Board Of Examiners,
practically and theoretica lily qualified as
experts and of fearless, unimpeachable
integrity, whose sole exclusive duty should
be to pass upon the competency, tech
nically, mentally and morally, OF sailing
masters despite the possession by them of
navigation school certificates), who are ap-
plicants for command of vessel.
This communication further states that
"a certificate from such source would be
more esteemed than one issued by board
created by law, as such a board would
have some political or partisan taint about
it and politics and corruption have be-
come convertible terms in these days"

KEARNS SWORE FALSELY
Bonds That Were Not Acceptable to
Acting Police Judge Groe-
Finger.

Michael Kearns, who gave his address
as 443 Minna street, is quite likely to get
himself into trouble with the Police De-
partment if he can be found. On Monday
evening he presented himself to acting
Police Judge Groezinger and offered to go
on the bond of James McNulty, who is
charged with killing John Harrington in
a Mission saloon on the 9th of last mon tn .
He claimed to be the owner of lot and
improvements on Castro and Sixteenth
streets. valued at $4,000. Judge Groezinger
was not impressed with Kearns' appear
ance or his manner of answering questions
and refused to accept the bond after it had
been sworn to until he had consulted the
Assessors books.
The property claimed by Kearns was
found to be in the name of another, and
the would-be bondsman was taxed with
having sworn falsely. He insisted that he
owned house and lot in the locality men,
toned, but said he had forgotten its exact
location. Judge Groezinger said that he
would look the matter up. and if he found
that Kearns had sworn falsely he would
have him arrested for perjury. Kearns
then disappeared, and has not been seen
since, though policeman has been in
dustriously searching for him.
