Nicholas.
Actor Joseph Haworth is at the head of
a theatrical project, which, If it is con.
summated, means the opening of a brand
new theater in San Francisco.
Haworth and his associates have their
ewes on the st. Nicholas Hotel building
When this structure was erected a large
space was left in the center unfinished for
the special purpose of some day establish
ing therein magnificent playhouse. This,
it is said would have been done long ago
by the owners, were it not for the fact that
the Fire Marshal found fault with certain
details ef construction in connection with
at part of the building reserved for the
theater.
But these discrepancies have now been
corrected, and there is nothing left to pre-
vent the carrying out of the original
plans.

17-Year-OId Mexican Boy EIOpes
After Killing Four Men.

San Antonio, Tex, May 15.-Henry
Bridgeman, an American stockman living
near Noclov, Mex, arrived here to-day
with news of a desperate quadruple trag-
edy just enacted on the Haciena del Ce-
dral, near his ranch.
Macedonia Frausk, 17-year-old boy of
that neighborhood, was in love with Anita
Moyas, the daughter Of ranchman. The
family opposed the marriage, and Frausk
determined to get possession of her. He
armed himself with rife and started for
her home. On the road he met Manuel So
lis, manager of the hacienda, accompan-
led by one of the girls brothers. The boy
and the two men had words and Frausk
shot and killed them both.
Another brother of the girl arrived on
the scene, and was also shot and killed
Before the boy got away from the scene
of the crime, Manuel Herrera came up
and attempted his capture. Herrera was
also killed. The murderer then proceeded
to the girls home and the two eloped.

RALLY OF THE RICE MEN.
A Comprehensive Statement OF Their
Demands to BE Prepared.

Washington, May 15.--Maj. Theodore M.
Barker, Capt. stoney and Christopher
Fitzsimmons, representing the rice indus
try, are here to cooperate with the rice
men of Georgia and Louisiana in a move
ment to have congress restore the House
rate on rice.
There was a consultation of the rice
men to-day at the Hotel Raleigh, at which
the whole subject was fully discussed. 1t
was decided that a comprehensive state
ment of the demands OF the rice industry
shall be prepared by Monday next, to be
submitted to a committee of senators. who
are desirous of being enlightened on the
subject. There are but few senators in
Washington to-day, because many of them
went out of town after the adjournment
Thursday. The rice men have been indus
triously at work since their arrival here
and they are encouraged in the belief that
they will present such a strong case that
congress will be unable to resist their ap-
peal for a change in the schedule proposed
in the Senate draft of the bill.
The Charleston delegation called on Sem
ator Tillman to-day and had a long talk
with him on the subject, and he has
promised to give them such assistance as
he can.
Representative Elliott is also rendering
valuable assistance because of his famil-
iarity with the rice industry, and his pop-
ularlty in the House and Senate.

Civil Service Law stIu Under n Re-
publican Fire.

Washington, May 15.--The Senate COM
mittee investigating the conditions of the
civil service resumed its session to-day
Auditor Howard, who has jurisdiction OF
the accounts OF the postoffice department,
presented statement showing that Sc per
cent. of the employees were republicans, 40
per cent. democrats. and the balance un-
known. The clerks brought in under the
civil service had been an Improvement over
the Old clerks.
Public Printer Palmer stated that he be-
lleved it would be advantageous to abolish
the civil service system as applicable to the
government printing office and so back
TO the former system.
Commissioner Proctor stated that the ex-
aminations was not conducted by the civil
service commission. but by a board from
the government printing office, familiar
with the requirements. The public prin-
ter nominated the board so that he retain
ed discretion over the examinations.
William H. Collins. chief clerk OF the
government printing Office, caused a mild
sensation by stating that he held a com
mission as a member Of the board of ex-
aminers. But he did not know the other
members and had not acted. After being
appointed he had been called before AL
bert Baker, secretary to Public Printer
Benedict, and advised that It would be de-
sirable for him not to serve until so di-
reeted by the public printer.
Senator Elkins brought out what he re-
garded as an Inconsistency that the me-
chanical force worked eight hours day,
while the clerical force worked six and a
half hours to get their pay. The law re-
quired seven hours day for government
clerks, and Mr.. Elldns estimated that the
government lost $4,000 to $4,000 a day by
short clerical service. After extended
discussion the members of the committee
agreed that the public printer had the
right to re-arrange the lists OF skilled
labor, emitting stabemen, charwomen.
doorkeepers and others heretofore classed
as skilled help Mr.. Palmer said IL he had
this power he proposes 10 exercise IT, but
he felt that the civil service commission
would interfere with his action.
Suppose they do" asked Mr. Elkins.
What can they do to your" They are
not above the law. You have as much
right to construe the law as they have,
The trouble is, every one is afraid OF this
