VALUE OF AN EXPOSITION,
Merchants Exchange in Doubt
Regarding the Advisability
of Endorsement.
Last Years Profits Placed With a
Corporation Instead of With
a Charity.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, |

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
908 Broadway, June 10.
During a meeting of the directors OF the
Merchants Exchange last evening, Fred
Sinclair local produce man, charged the
directors of last years exposition with
misappropriating $1700. He claimed the
original intention had been to have the
proceeds 90 to a charitable institution,
and on that showing everybody united
and made it a great success. But when
there had been profit the management
incorporated and took the money as be-
longing to the corporation.
George L. Fish, another member, said
there were some men in the Exposition
Association that he had no use for and at
the same time there were some very good
men in it who were not looking for per-
sonaI gain. AS to the proceeds of the last
exposition being pledged to charities, he
knew nothing of it. He had been invited
TO become one of the managers, but had
declined. In all fairness, he said, there
seemed to be tendency in Oakland to cry
down any enterprise in which they were
not personally interested.
George w. Arper said that the exposition
was going to be a concern which would
helm the city and county, instead of promo
be encouraged. He thought, however,
that the scope Of the exposition was too
narrow He did not believe the display
should be limited to the products of Ala
media County. Such course was a mar
row. contracted and unbusiness-like propo-
sition.
John A. Britton, one of the directors of
the Merchants Exchange, who was absent
from the meeting, in commenting on the
matter to-day, said: "Our company (the
Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company,
indorses the exposition directors in the
heartiest manner possible. We were with
them last year, and we Will do all in our
power this year to make the exposition a
success.
Personally have no sympathy with the
spirit shown at last nights meeting. and
if it is to prevail l shall ask President
Witcher to select another director to take
my place. favor everything to advance
the CITY and cannot allow myself TO be
placed in any other position.

ALAMEDA, CAL, June 10.-The Joseph

contractor, c. F. Fischer, are mourning
the loss of about half ton of lead pipe.
The company is just finishing row of
eight cottages on Clement avenue, near
Willow street, and the plumbing work was
nearly completed. Last night the thieves
made their way into the houses by win
dows and the use of skeleton keys and
stripped them of the piping.
The police are of the opinion that the
pilferers came from Oakland and rowed
across the estuary in boat.

ALAMEDA, CAL, June 10-Some two

These gentlemen approve entirely of the

to tie City Fathers, as it did not meet
their approval.
The leading physicians say that neces-

Political Equality Club Refuses to

Suffrapista.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 10.-The East
ern delegation OF Woman Suffragists, who
have been holding conventions in every
county in the State, will unite in one rous-
ing meeting in this city Friday and Satur-
day at the Tabernacle under the auspices
of the joint amendment campaign COM
mittee. The Alameda County Political
Equality Society will await another time
TO have its meeting.
This evening the latter society published
the following notice in the local papers:
The Alameda County Convention that was
to be held on the 18th and 18th inst. is de-
ferred until later in the season. The pro-
gramme of exercises made out for that occa-
sion will not be used in consequence on the
above dates.
The Eastern disciples of suffrage, how
ever, are numerous enough to get up a
programme themselves and have done so.
They announce the following speakers
Rev. Anna Shaw, Miss Elizabeth Yates,
Miss Harriet Mills, Miss Hay and Mrs. A.
A. Sargent. There will be meetings at 8

are said to contain enough coal to supply
the State for fifty years at the present rate
of consumption, there are also beds of clay
and reefs of limestone of proved excellence
and purity. These are largely used in the
manufacture of cement, and it is claimed
bv experts that the materials found in
Corral Hollow will produce cement that
is equal to the best imported and can be
manufactured for so cents barrel. Promi-
nent cement men are now negotiating
with the company for the sole rights to
manufacture cement and lime, and the
erection of large works for that purpose
will proceed shortly. There is also situ-
ated upon the company's land bed of
CLAW suitable for the manufacture of fire.
brick and other refractory articles. A sand
for gIass-making purposes is also found
there.
Speaking of the future OF Corral Hollow
K. W. Ellis. proprietor OF the Livermore
Hearld, says: with these tremendous
natural resources we would soon become
the richest State in the Union if we did
our own manufacturing and thus stopped
the tremendous drain of gold necessary to
pay for the manufactured articles we
import. The development OF Corral Hol-
low will alter this state OF affairs because
the coal can be mined at price that will
enable the manufacturer to compete and
exist here. The great cry has been cheap
fuel. Old fogies and pessimists have
always declared that California would
never be among the manufacturing States
on account of lack of cheap fuel. This
restriction is now removed and manufact-
ures will spring into existence, thousands
of skilled operatives will find employment
here and every artery of trade will share
the benefits of cheap fuel ana increased
population.

yon near to the hollow.
The last rail will be laid tomorrow with
two golden spikes. There will be no grand
demonstration, but simple formality in
the presence OF few members of the COM
pany and number of prominent people
from Stockton, Oakland, San Francisco
and Livermore. 1t is expected that the
guests of the company will be taken to
the mines behind one OF the monster conn.,
pound engines that have been constructed
specially for the new road. The laying of
the last rail will be celebrated with grand
banquet.
"At the mines the machinery recently
shipped is to be put into position and
made ready for operation, and here the
great coaI-bunkers are to be hurried to
completion for the reception of the out
put of the mines. The steel bridge across
the San Joaquin was completed week
ago to-day. 1t is an immense structure,
weighing nearly $50 tons. The temporary
trestle that has been in use ever since the
road was started will be taken out at once
so that river navigation can be resumed.
Although the directors are non-com-
initial on the matter it is believed that the
work on the big tunnel through the hills
VIII be commenced before the year is out,
and that but short time will elapse be-
fore the road is extended to tidewater at
Oakland as we'll as Stockton.

and manufactures of this county was in
augurated certain members of the Mer-
chants Exchange board of directors did
all within their limited power to defeat
the enterprise. They failed, fortunately.
The exposition was successful beyond the
anticipation of its board of managers and
this city and county received in conse-
quence an advertisement throughout the
East which it would have cost many
thousands of dollars to buy. When it
was thought best to quit with one exhibit
there was talk of giving the net proceeds
to charity, but there was such opposition
that it was abandoned and the original
idea to give annual exhibits was con-
tinued."
The matter will be finally decided by the
Merchants Exchange at a meeting to be
held in two weeks time.
