The regular quarterly meeting of the
San Francisco Press Club occurred last
night. Delegates were elected to attend
the forthcoming meeting OF the League of
Press Clubs, and several other matters OF
import lance were considered, among them
new clubrooms.
There was large attendance OF repre-
sentative newspaper men, besides asso-
ciate members, and the session was
unusually interesting. The constitution,
which has been found inadequate to the
demands of the club, partly because of
the very considera be increase of men,
bers, was amended and added to, while
certain sections were repealed altogether.
In some instances the constitution ana
bylaws had been found to conflict. By
the reconstruction of the two. they were
made to harmonic and fit the present
wants oil the club. The constitution and
bylaws will now be printed anew.
The report of the financial secretary
showed the club in an excellent financial
condition, Notwithstanding the hard times.
The organization has we'll on to $1,000 in
bank. The reports OF the recording Sec
reta-y, librarian and other officers showed
that great many books, pictures and
other desirable things had been added to
the rooms.
Paul Cowles of the committee on new
clubrooms reported that elegant quarters
had been offered the club on the eighth
floor of the proposed Behlow building on
Geary street, opposite Union square, for
$3.50 month, including lirht and heat.
Besides this prefer had been made BY
the owner of the building occupied by
Thomas Day 81 Co., Suffer street, offering
large part of the first floor above the
street for $3.50 q month or the top floor
for $500 month. The building was to be
thoroughly modernized. Neither offer IN

continued, no decision being reached.

Eddie Kline Goes Home.

Eddie Kline's big brother went round to the
Pacific Hypnotic Institute on Mission street
Wednesday evening and persuaded Eddie to
go home with him. The boy yes terday
seemed perfectly well satisfied with the change
and declared his intention to remain at home
with his mother. If his state OF mind con-
tinues the charge against him for vagrancy will
probably be dismissed by Judge Campbell on
Saturday.
Messrs. Baker and Thornton called at THE
CALL ditoria'-roous last night and said that
Thornton had given young Kline the hypnotic
suggestion TO go home and stay there.
.'You remember" said Thornton, "that
Kline said in court he would rather go to the
reform school than go home. Now ne says
that he is glad to be home, and that he in
tends to stay there. That is because of the
hypnotic suggestion l gave him. The sugges'
ton will influence him as long as l choose

the validity of trust deeds. which will
probably not be decided before autumn,
and stated that in his opinion any action
taken might be rendered nugatory by an
adverse decision.
On the other hand, A. Sbarboro thought
form OF trust deed could be drafted for
use by all the associations, and that any
litigation pending the decision would
be decided in favor of the holder by the
lower courts. If the decision of the
Supreme Court were adverse then it W ould
be time to take no more of them.
Another discussion eliminated in the
appointing OF a committee, with instruc-
lions to be prepared with form of trust
deed suitable ior the use of all associa-
tions throughout the State, to be recon.
mended in case the Supreme Court shall
render decision favorable to their use.
The committee is composed OF President
Frank Otis. Attorneys D. Friede nrich,
): b. Richardson and A. E. Bolton, Albert
Never and A. Sbar boro.
The committee was also authorized to
investigate the subject as to whether the
recent law extending the period of re.
oemption IN mortgages applies to mort.
cages IN force before the passage of the
act.

There has been quantity OF timber, 6x12
9x9, etc, floating through this group for The
last three weeks, coming from the eastward,
which has evidently formed part OF cargo
from Californi "a as the wood is all Oregon pine
by its appearance. 1t has been in the water
about eight weeks. as the worms are just
starting to get into it and it takes about that
time for them to make a start on 1t here. One
piece of 9x9 examined was branded BIB in
stencil on the end. If this serves to help you
trace any missing ship l would be glad to
know what vessel it was from.
