GUITAR, BANJO AND MANDOLIN
A Pleasant Concert by Mr.. Delano's Club Last
Night

G. s. De Lanos guitar banjo and man.
dolin club gave their tenth grand CON
cert last evening at the Southern Cal
ifornia music hall. An attractive and
ambitious program had been prepared,
ranging from the works of Beethoven
and Wagner to those composers who
have written especially for the light
stringed instrument. 1t must be con-
fessed that the banjo. guitar and man
dolin are more suited to such than to
such music as the march from Tam
haeuser Even the very skillful exc
cution of Mr.. De Lano cannot make the
rendering of Rossini's overture to Will
helm Tell on the banjo other than some
what grotesque. Excellent accomplish
ment as the playing of the banjo Is, de-
lightful at the camp fire or as an ac-
compartment to comic songs. it is a
question how seriously it can be taken
in music.
The concert was enjoyed by a large
and appreciative audience and provid-
ed ample evidence OF the distinct pro-
gress Mr. De Lano's pupils are making
The members of the club who played
last night were Miss M. G. Hatch. Miss

Second streets. Chairman Shoulders,
Secretary Beebe and all the members
were present The committee Is deter
mined that it's record shall be second 10
that of no other Fourth of July commit

have a rousing old time patriotic Fourth
of July celebration, and the committee
is now struggling hard to attain that
end 1t has already been determined
that there shall be no fireworks, put
that the air shall be filed with patriotic
music and patriotic speaking.
Major Redding. chairman OF the COM
mittee having the matter in hand, re-
ported that number of business men
had been interviewed and that all had
expressed themselves ready to assist
in every way possible to make this years
celebration far grander than anything
of the kind ever had yet.
Fl. Siegel suggested that as the time
for preparing for the celebration
was fast approaching, the COM
mittee follow as nearly as possible in
the footsteps of the committee of year
ago. Upon his motion the rules of last
years committee were adopted.
Captain Cressey objected to trade
llUdtS III Tue pttItue. re Sdlu tlleIe was
nothing patriotic about them and that
they were always n source of much an
noyance to the committee. 1t was de-
cided that there should be 10 trade
floats.
Major Redding urged that members
of the press be appointed on some of the
committees, and Mr.. Wirsching moved
that representative from each of the
daily papers be appointed on the music,
parade and finance committees, but the
motion was lost.
A press committee was created The
members will be appointed at the next
meeting of the committee.

would be taken.
tee on decorations said that he would
be able to report the members of his
committee at the next meeting. He de-
clared it his intention to decorate the
city better than it had ever been deco
rated before on the Fourth.
Captain Cressey. in speaking of deco
rations. said that every citizen should
see to it that there was a flag in front
of his house on the Fourth of July. This
would show a spirit of true patriotism.
The secretary was instructed on mo-
ton of Mr. De Groot to send invitations
to the clergy of the city to preach patriO-

cannot succeed, and every man must
provide himself against possible fail

Mr.. Pennock tells an interesting story
of the introduction of horses to the start
led gaze of the natives. He and two
others of the party made a trip inland
on horses taken up on the Excelsior. At
the first Indian village they visited the
sight of the horses drove all the dogs
bowling into the woods and the Indian
children fled crying into the huts. The
men and women stood their ground, al
though in open-eyed wonder. After much
inducement they were finally prevailed
upon to approach the horses, and their
wonder knew no bounds at the strange
animals. No amount of persuasion
could induce them to mount them.
In relation to the wonderful coal field.
he says he never saw anything like it.
With every tide the long beach is liter
ally covered with fine quality of Ignite
coal, and it was an easy matter for two
men in an hours time to fill twenty five
sacks from the mounds which were in
evidence at every hand.

OIL ADVANCES AGAIN


Former Prices Are Left
At the meeting of the directors Of the
oil exchange yesterday, the price or
crude petroleum was given another
jump. this time to SIZE +. o. D., which
EQUALS 81 as it is pumped from the wells.
This Is considered fair price, and one
at which well owners can operate at
a profit The action was taken upon
the strength of careful canvass Of the
total supply on hand which has been
taken during the past week and which
shows the available stocks to be con-
stantly diminishing.
The exact figures are in the hands of
the exchange. but VIII not at present
be given out for publication. The off,
GERS state, however, that there is no
doubt but that the state of the market
warrants the advance. and that 1t is but
n question of short time until there
will be little surplus left. When that
time comes oil will be sold at a price
which it's utility and acknowledgements
of use warrant. and while there will
be fewer producing wells, those that hold
out will be able to return their owners
q profit on their investment
Sales have been brisk at the 81 mark
and are expected to hold out at the high
err rate. No news has as yet been re-
oeived OF the Enoch Talbot. and Mr..
Botsford her principal owner, having

1t is said that there will shortly be an
attempt made to open up new territory
near the old Southern Pacific depot on

has been leased by different parties who
think that there will be found the con-
tinuation of the belt and new field be

An Oakland Man Says the Sentences Will Be

who was among the members of the re-
form committee arrested at Johannes
burg and accused of treason, has writ
ten a letter to friends in this city eX-
planning the situation and giving his
views on the final outcome of the trou-

Hays Hammond and of Harry Garth
waite of this city, who are in South At

THE general impression as to what
the outcome will be is that about half
the committee will be let off free, writes
Capt. Men. ''All Others save Phil
lips, Rhodes. Farrar and Hammond, will
be fined lightly. These four will have
a heavy fine and be imprisoned, and
after month or two of Imprisonment
they will be banished from the country.

San Francisco's Assessor VIII Make q Fight
for His Office

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-Assessor
John D. Siebe must make defense to
the petition for his removal from office
filed last week by A. j. Clunie.
Judge Wallace today overruled a de-
murrer to the petition and declared that
the assessor must go to a trial on the
merits.

was guilty of a neglect of duty in as
sessing the property of the Market

when thetrue value of the property is
not less than $17,500,00O. Siebe is re-
quired to file an answer to this charge
before 10 o'clock tomorrow. The case will
then proceed to trial unless the supreme
court shall in the meantime grant the
writ of prohibition for which Siebe's
attorneys propose to make application
on the ground that Judge Wallace has
no jurisdiction to hear the case in the
form in which it has been commenced.
