SuDerVisOrS.

L. a. Haywards presided yesterday after
noon at special meeting of the milkmen
of this City who are membe of the Milk

ciated as secretary. The object of the
meeting was to listen to the proposed ordi-
nance which is to be presented to-day to
the Health and Police Committee of the

ity of the milk to be hereafter delivered to
consumers.
Health Officer Lovelace and Secretary
Godchaux of the Board OF Health, Drs
Morse and Greedy and Milk Inspector
James Dockery, with Attorney Reinstein,
were present.
1t was explained that the ordinance
under which Inspector Dockery was work

no set lines on which to offer their goods
to the public. The new ordinance, how
ever, provided a standard of purity which
would be satisfactory to the Board OF
Health and which could be we'll under

fork and Jewelry Secured
Through the Opening.

Adolph Oppenheim, one of the i'm
portant witnesses whose memory was so
severely taxed in the notorious Dulrant
trial, was notified on New Years s morning
at his residence, 1402 Montgomery street,
that his place of business at 405 Grant
avenue had been robbed during the night.
On arriving at the store he started an IN
vestigation, " hich resulted in the finding
of pitchfork, which had been used in
breaking the thick plateglass in the
window.
Mr.. Oppenheim las been in the habit of
leaving his jewelry in the window all
night, merely covering 1T over with a
newspaper, thereby saving himself the
trouble of transferring the unredeemed
pledges to the safe, but a party or par
ties, being aware OF the dece ption, took
advantage of the din and confusion on the
streets New Years eve and broke the
window with the pitchfork, thereby pro-
curing iewelry, such as pins, rings,
bracelets, etc, to the amount of from $3.50
to $500.
Mr.. Oppenheim is now as confident that
he will transfer the jewelry from the
window to the safe from this date on as he
was of the description of Durrant.

The object of yesterdays visit was to

tunates: who are confined; within the

that Ruddell has all along been engaged
in conspiracy against him to down him
politically. He intimates this much, but
is averse to making any statement for
publication at present.
Chinese Inspector Williams talks more
openly. He hints that Ruddell has re-
ceived presents from Chinese while
secured a position in the Chinese con-
sulate for his brother-in-law, McGovern
W hen Ruddell was in the Chinese bureau
Williams made this statement in the
Collectors office yesterday afternoon:
The Collector has been wondering all along
why it is that the secrets of the Treasury De-
partment have been allowed to leak out Now
the Surveyors office knows everything that is
going on, and invariably information is al
lowed to get out which upsets all the plans of
the Collector.
Take this matter of the Atlanta Fair Chinese,
for instance, and see how he worked it. At his
own suggestion the work of intercepting them
was given to him. What was the very first
thing he did? Why. he sent up to Chinatown
to hire several Chinese expreSs-wagons to go
over 10 the Oakland mole.
OF course, when these Chinese expressmen
were engaged they naturally told their busi-
ness to every Chinaman they met, and in lit
tie while the news all over Chinatown

need of clothes, said DR.. Hart, the chair
man of the committee. 1.-The clothing is
usually supplied by donation, bat some
times the Supervisors contribute. A new
building ought to be given at once, but
the patients need clothes just now.
THE building, as you see, is entirely in
adequate, and there are only two warm
rooms in the house. The kitchen is clean
and so is the dlning-room for the en-
ployes, but that is about all we can say in
praise of the hospital. The food is pIenti-
full and is first class.
The only fire for the patients is in the
slttlng-room, which is about eight feet
square, and in spite of the fire that room
Is chilly and unprepossessing, and the in
mates are usually shivering.
"Outside, the buildings have to be
propped up, and they are greatly in need
OF paint or whitewash. There is only an
old. decaylng wooden sewer that has an
outlet in the marsh just below. and the
washing for the inmates is all done in the
yard.
Goats, geese, chickens, ducks and pigs
feed at the outlet of the sewer, and pre-
sumo that some of the stock grown there
finds its way into the City markets.
There is no telephone at the place and
no means of communicating with the City
not one satisfactory feature about the
place"
The other physicians concurred in this
statement, and as the inspectors declined
an invitation to dinner and prepared to
drive away, Old Annie's music-box ground
out:
To our bountiful Father above,
We will offer our tribute of praise,
For the glorious gift OF his love,
And the blessings that hallow our days.

T. S. Williams, secretary of the commit

is no prospect of dividend. Continuing
he said:
There is on hand now in the California Safe
Deposit and Trust Company S49, ,S24 81; in The
Columbian Banking Company, $426o or in
the vaults, 1923 20-a total of $54 50S s.
We have had an offer OF 1886, 900 fo- the
bank stock, but are unable to sell because OF
the condIt Ition imposed by the purchaser that

litigation.
The directors criticized General sheehap for
statement he made 10 the press, and he had
to crawtish and say he made no such state
ment TO the press. When showed article IN
the Post he said it was distorted.
The directors willing TO declare 81 per
cent dividend, but it would take about ali the
money on hand and entail good deal of work
to go through and apportion 0,000 accounts,
SO they would rather walt until q per cent
dividend could be declared, an ap portionment
of the individual amounts having already been
made OH that busis. Endeavors are being
made now to sell property in San Diego, and
when that is sold it is hoped that the per cent
dividend will be paid.

A SHORT-L|VEO STRIKE.
Lasters Walked Out of P. F.
Nolan's Shoe Factory for
a Few Hours.
The Difficulty, Which Was Over the
Wages, Was Soon Satisfactorily
Settled

The lasters in P. F. Nolan's shoe factory
on Stevenson street went on strike yes
terday, but the strike was as short-lived as
it was unexpected. To-day they will all
be at their benches again, so they promise.
The trouble was over the wages TO lasters
handling a certain class of shoe.
The Nolans are making a specially of
one Of their brands of shoes, and eight or
ten lasters were employed in that line. It
was their desire to increase the output
and in order to do so it was decided to
make q reduction. of cents on each pair
of shoes. Such was the unders tanding
when the factory closed on Tuesday even
ing. Then the men on "Wednesday dis
cussed the situation and arrived at the
conclusion that they didn't like the change
q little bit.
Yesterday when it was time to go to
work those who returned to their benches
noticed that there were n number of the
operatives absent, and it was taken for
granted that they had gone out on strike
rather than to submit to a reduction. A
council of war was held, and the result
was that between thirty and forty Iasters
quit work and went out on the sidewalk
until the difficulty should be straighteneu
out.
The superintendent, Julius Cahlman,
was away at the time, but as soon as lie
heard of the difficulty he sent word to the
foreman to entertain any committee the
lasters might send, and to give them to
understand that the proposed reduction
would not be made.
This was done and the difficulty was
Strengthened out very quickly. Last even
ing Mr. Cahlman said that if he had been
at the factory he would not have let the
men go out; that the whole affair was
more of the nature of misunderstanding
than strike. THE men will all be at
their benches tomorrow, he added.
''There is no intention of cutting our
workmen's wages. The reduction of 2
cents would have been benent to them in
the long run, because it would have made
large increase in our output of this par
tcular brand and consequently more work
for the men. The statement that Mr..
Clark was in any way responsible for the
trouble is without foundation.'

inspectors passed through the corridor.
Tne patient mutfied almost out of sight,
stood grinding away at the music, and her

"This woman has leprosy in its worst
stage, said DR.. O Brien, land besides that,
she has almost every other disease that q
woman might contract in the low life of
Chinatown. She has been here long
time, but she has only little time to re-
main" And whether she understood or
not, the woman looked up as she began
her chorus:
In the sweet by and by.
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
All the other patients We're visited.
Then the men marched out through mar
row uncovered passageway to get their
noontime meal of soup, corned beef and
cabbage, bread, rice and coffee.
They live we'll, volunteered Steward
Heating, and an affirmative reply was
given to a question whether the patients
had to thus so after their food whatever
the weather might De.
Gee Foo, whoIis cid and blind, in addi-
ton to his other troubles, occupies a cheer
less room. His only luxury was in the
form OF books, which the leper could not
have read had he been able to see.
All Sue has been in the board wall prison
only two weeks, and has net long been a
leper. His roommate is paralytic, who
has other troubles Just as serious.
And so through the hospital went the
physicians. This is the worst patient OF
the lot, explained the steward, as China

story of two white boys who inherited
leprosy was told. There were three of the
young fellows there, all from one family,

A meeting of the depositors of the in
solvent Peoples Home Savings Bank was
held last night at 102 O'FarreIl street.
The occasion was productive of very little
encouragement for the people who had
collected to discuss means of securing
their savings.
A resolution was passed detailing the
executive committee to wait upon District
Attorney Barnes and to urge him to use
every diligence to push the cases still
against Mcdonald and to inform the Dis
trict Attorney that the depositors are
with him in the efforts he exerts.
Thomas Mahoney rendered his resigna-
ton as a member of the executive COM
mittee and f. H. QuaIman of 232 Fulton
street, who presided at last nights meet

A request had been made to the Bank
