The speech was received with loud ap-

cheers and tiger.
Then Colonel Smith addressed his COM

going among strangers, and that while
they we're in camp they would be under

particular in the matter of salutes. which
should all be in a sold dieriy manner, and

gone to campat Ukiah, Mendocino County,
for eight days.
The time for the start from the regi-

themselves at the armory ir service uni

time and attention to the preparations of
the details for Cam D Macd onald, so named
in honor of Colonel William Macdonald,

AIDING THE CARRIERS.
Citizens Who Rave Contributed to the
Convention Fund.

Citizens Who Rave Contributed to the
Convention Fund.
The letter-carriers' convention, which
will be held in this City next month,
promises to be most successful. The boys
in gray will leave no stone unturned to
make San Francisco as pleasant for their
Eastern visitors as it has been to other
assemblages of a similar character.
The funds which will be necessary to
aid the San Francisco carriers in carrying
out this laudable purpose as a matter of
course must come from such citizens as
will assist in making the convention
success The limited income of the car
riers precludes the possibility OF their
bearing the entire burden. But in this
there are hopes that sufficient money will
be collected between now and the arrival
of the delegates to meet the greater por-
ton of the expense.
The following collections have been
handed in to the finance committee:

THE INJURED PUGILIsTs.

Griffin and Agnew Are Nursing Mem
bers That ere Di4ab1ed in Fights.
Johnny Griffin, the puGilist who was
badly whipped by Solly Smith on Friday
evening, is nursing badly swollen left
hand. In the final round of the fight
Griffin led for Smiths body, and the latt er
swung his left at the same time for Grit
fms body. The gloves of both pugili lists
came together with resounding sound,
but Griffin was the sufferer. as the blow
broke the thumb of his left hand. He
fought on, however, until he received his
quietus by a knockout blow. Griffin s
left hand is terribly swollen.
Lon Agnew is also nursing a disabled

still predict that Porpar will be in the
fight 10 stay in sri of many predictions
that he is only narrow Demotra ic poll
tician, afraid to take an active stand on
any public question invoyidg ward poll
tics:
Resol,ed, That in view of the great interest
of the people in the actions OF the Board OF
Education of this City and County the chair
man of the Iroquois Club is authorized to ap-
point committee of three who shall request
the Grand Jury to Investigate the actions OF
said the Board o. Education and also assist
the said Grand Jury in such investigation.
There are so many prominent Demo-
cratic politicians who are friendly to the
Dem ocratic memb bcrs OF the board that it
is freely predicted that Mr.. Pepper will
not support the motion started by Attor-
nev Wall.
From an inside source in the Iroquois
Club it was learned last night that the
Dem mocratic politicians are N owing all their
forces TO squelch anything like an ipvesti-
CATION. IL is quite likely that all OF this
row will result in serious split in the
club before long. There is pretty strong
element that holds that the club now has
an opportunity TO DO some thorough and
telling work hv showing that the aggres-
sions of the present school board are as
bad in a way as were the levies made by
Warren Hastings on the Rohillas in the
days when tributes were common. There
is another element in the club that fears
an investigation. This is the pliable ele-
ment that has generally ruled in moments
when issues were close.
1t is charged by the aggressive forces
that the conservatives and the pure poll
ticians have always so ruled the destinies
of the club that its efforts have gone no
further than the adoption of few sim
pie resolutions. The more belligerent
element looks with suspicion on all pas
slve policy members, and it is said that
even Max Pepper is suspected OF coward
ice in the school matter, in spite of his
apparent friendliness 10 the present move
ment. He stopped short OF an invitation
to the Grand Jury, and it is said that his
report on the school matter was a pretty
artistic straddle of the question.
There will be an important meeting OF
tbs Iroquois committee on Tuesday, and
at this it will be decided whether the ap-
parently beligerent attitude OF the club Is
nything more than bluff.
At the last meeting OF the lroquois COM
mittee it was stated by various directors
that Superintendent Webster was prepar-
ing a statement on the schoolbook ques-
ton, whereby ne would take large part
OF the blame for the sehoobook job
Attorney Wall, who has investigated
the question, stated last night that he did
not believe that any such statement would
be made by the Superintendent. TIE lat
ter is in a position where be cannot we II
deny the statements imputed to him by
the board, but Mr.. Wall says he has it on
good authority that no such confession of
guilt will be made by the superintendent.
