The Shakers of Mount Lebanon. com.
munity OF simple, honest, God fearing
men and women. have prepared the Shak :

it is always the same simple, honest, cura-

Shakers the healthy, long Lived people that
they are. The Shakers never have indi-
gestion. This is partly owing to their
simple mode OF life, partly to the wonder

Indigestion is caused by the stomach
glands not supplying enough digestive

SECOND DAYS SESSION
Grand Council of the Legion of
Honor Instructs Its Dele.
gates.
Officers Who Will Govern the Order
in California for the N xt
Two Years

Grand Commander Thomas Fiben OF
the Grand Council of the LIE ion OF Honor
called the delegates to order for the second
days session yesterday morning.
The delegates to the Supreme Council,
which will convene in Buffalo, N. Y. next
August, were instructed by resolution as
to the need of several amendments to the
general laws. Among these is one ex-
tending by fifteen days the time within
which suspended members may be REIN
stated; also one to favor such action as
shall allow members of the order, who
are in insurance class B, which is to be
done away with, 10 enter class A at any
time in the future instead of compelling
them 10 do so, if at all, by July l.
A long discussion was had on a PROPOSE
ii on to so amend the suicide clause in the
in surance certificates of the order as to
make it conform to the ordinary usage of
commercial insurance companies. In
other words, instead of having the fact of
a mans death by suicide vitiate his policy
in all cases, the amendment proposed that
1t should nave no effect whatever unless
the act OF suicide took place within two
years after the issuing of the policy.
spirit OF retrenchments seized the body
in making it's appropriations tor the en-
suing two years. The salary OF the secre-
tary was cut down from $1,000 to 5000 per
year and the contingent fund of the grand
commander from $500 to $500 per year,
while economy will be practiced in the
secretarys Office wherever it can without
actually hampering the administration.
The per capita ak was fixed at 81 70 per
member for the next two years.
Under a special order of business the
election of officers was taken up last night.
The result was as follows:
Grand commander, Thomas Filben, Marys-
vile; grand vlce-commander, William Metz
ner, San Francisco; grand orator, j. II. Sea-
well, Ukiah; grand secretary, c. Q. Burton,
San francisco; grand treasurer, w. H. H.

JUMPED INTO BOILING TAR
The Insane Freak of Marcus
MarkowtZ, a Small Con.
tractor
1t To K Several Policemen to Hold Him
While Being Taken to the
Receiving Hospital.

Marcus Markowitz, small contractor
living at 16 August place, created sensa-
ton in the neigh borhood of Stock ton and
Geary streets about 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
He had taken the contract to tar the
roof of a house on Geary street, near
Stockton, and was boiling the tar in a
large kettle in the rear of house on Nor
ton street.
The tar caught fire and Markowitz seized
the kettle and rushed out into Geary
street with the kettle in his hand. He
ran down Stockton street, and at Morton
street he threw down the kettle and
jumped into the boiling tar with the in
sane idea of stamping out the flames.
Sew eral citizens rushed forward and
grabbed hold of Markowitz and dragged
him back. Several policemen were at
tracted to the scene by the mans furious
struggles to get away from the men who
were holding him as he fought to get free
and jump into the boiling tar again.
Markowitz was taken to the Receiving
Hospital and it took the combined
strength of four policeman to hold him in
the wagon.
When he was placed on the operating
table he got quieted and DR.. Thom pson
was able to attend to his INJURIES. His
right foot and leg and left hand were
badly burned.
As he appeared to be temporarily out of
his mind he was placed in a padded cell
and last night he was able to talk quite
nationally. He was suffering intense pain
from the burns.

90S Broadway, May S. I
William Clark, the old man OF East
Oakland charged with assaulting little
girls, was released to-day, the jury hav.
ing found him not guilty.
About year ago this case created great
interest, owing 10 the manner in which
DR.. J. W. Ellis, pastor of the Centennial
Presbyterian Church, criticized the pro
ceedings of the Prosecuting Attorneys of
flee in the newspapers. The minister wrote
several letters in which he alleged thai
proper means were being taken to oh.
tain testimony from the little girls.
Harry II. Melvin, the court prosecutor
Indignantly denied the insinuations OF
DR.. Ellis, and at the preliminary exami-
nation Clark was held to answer on q
charge of felony.
In the Superior Court to-day testimony
was given which did not suit Mr.. Melvin,
who was conducting the case for the prose
cution, and he promptly asked the Judge
to instruct the jury to acquit.
In the morning the testimony of Mabel
Swanson was taken. She made certain
statements in which she said she had not
been coached regarding her testimony by
any one. Other witnesses followed and
from the trend of their testimony it was
seen that the Swanson girl mad been in
structed.
Later in the afternoon Mabel Swanson
was recalled and during her cross-ex-
animation spoke of having forgotten GER
tain things and of having made mistakes
and of having conversations about testi-
mony in which she was to say certain
things and not to say other things, and
all this SO convinced Mr.. Melvin that
some body had allowed her zeal to over
come her discretion that he therefore
asked for the prisoners acquittal.
The court stated that it did no t feel tn 1t
it was empowered 10 instruct the jury to
acquit, but little later when the jury
went to the juryroom to consider their
verdict they were only absent three min
utes before they returned with verdict
of not guilty.
Clark is 70 years of age and he has stated
all along that the evidence against him
was doctored. The tales told by the girls,
however, seem to be particularly straight
and convincing and Clark was held under
heavy bonds

The Great Dream of John P. Irish L

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO GALL
90S Broadway, May 5. !
The Board of Works had very agree
able task this morning. When it met its
desks were covered with some elaborate
and artistic plans for the adornment OF the
West Oakland Park.
The board offered a prize for the design
that was most acceptable, and eleven COM
petitors submitted their efforts in twelve
colored drawings which were opened to-
day. Two of the designs are particularly
attractive, though it would cost good
sum of money to carry them out.
These plans provide for large flagstaff
in the center, a grand triple fountain, q
music pavilion, an observatory three
stories high, concourse grounds, an open
am pitheater with seats, baseball grounds
tennis lawns, cafe creamery, bicycle track,
gymnasium, conservatory, twin lakes
bridges, police stations, drinking-foun-
aims, grotto, parade ground, aquarium,
sheds and electric light poles.
This is about all that can well be crowded
on the eleven acres purchased by the city.
but it is hoped that an equal amount of
land to the north, reaching as far as
Twenty second street, will soon be added
to the West Oakland Park. Another very
beautiful plan is that of Leon Boillot, the
newspaper artist.
The contractors are ready to begin work
at once On filling in the marsh, and, as
the dredger in use has proved to be very
powerful, it viii not be many months be-
fore the great dream of John P. Irish s
life has been realized.
