For this reason people gladly pay S48 for the eight massive

But selling books by subscription, as this History has been
sold, is the wasteful way. There is much to pay for be-
sides the book. The Wanamaker way of selling books,

SOME new LAWS
FOR OUR MINERS
A Meeting at the Union
League Club in Their
Interest.
Friends of Assemblyman Power
Urging HIM for Chairman of
the Committee.
The Legislature 10 Be Asked for
$25o,ooo for Impounding Dams and
100000 for Home.

A meeting of the executive committee
of the California Miners Association was
held last evening at the Union League
Club. to focus, so to speak, upon matters
of interest to the guild to be brought be-
fore the Legislature at Sacramento.
A number of proposed laws have been
under discussion by the miners through
out the State, which were variously
deemed of importance.
These were submitted to Judge Hervey
Lindley, Superior Judge Belcber and
other authorities, who were at the meet
ing. and in a general discussion gave
their opinions in regard to the proposed
bills. Some of the bills, as was pointed
out, were already covered by the Federal
laws.
Whatever may be done with these bills,
as a result OF the conference, there are two
others that were referred to which will GER
tainly be submitted to the Legislature for
passage. One of these asks an appropria-
ton of $3.50, 900 from the State to be added
TO the National appropriation of the same
amount for the construction of impound-
ing dams, and another asks for 500, 900
for the founding of home for old and dis
abled miners.
President Jacob Neff presided and
Julian Sonntag served as secretary. There

among them being: Colonel G. w. Reyes
E. J. de Saba, TREY l. Ford. Charles G..

Besides these there was present an i'm
portant committee, consisting of Senator
w. F. Prisk of Nevada County, Judge
Saward of Plumas, Assemblyman c. D.
Fontana of Calaveras, Assemblyman III. T.
Power of Placer and Assem- blyman Robin
son of Calaveras. These gentlemen came
from Sacramento TO confer informally
with the executive committee of the
Miners Association in regard 10 the vari-
Gus legislation which is now of interest to
the miners. Their views were given with
more or less detail at the meeting.
Mr.. Power is being actively pushed for
ward for the position of chairman of the
Committee on Mines and Mining. He
has had great deal OF experience in the
mines, and his associates say tn ere is not
a man in California who is better qualified
for the place. The gentlemen who came
as an informal committee along with Mr..
Power are working emerge tically for him.
I'VE are pushing him forward for the
place." said Assem- bIyman Fontana, "be-
cause he represents the most of the min
ing interests. He own mines. and has
been actively engaged in mining all his
lie. He is active also in the California
Miners A $500 iatlon. He is now mem Der
of the executive committee of the ass cia-
ton, is member of the Committee on
Mineral Lands, and is also member of the
Committee on Mining Legislation. He will
prove in all respects TN admirable man for
the position"
The members of the Assembly who
came down to attend the meeting and who
are advocating Mr.. Power are from the
leading mining counties in the State, and
are members of the California Miners
Association.

particular importance was whether the
Pacific Kennel Club intended to hold to-
gether and give bench show this year or
disband.
Some favored the idea Of dlsbanding and
turning over the cash in the treasury TO
some charitable institution, while others
strenuously objected to this proposition
and suggested that the club amalgamate
with either the newly organized Olympic
Gun Club or the St. Bernard Club, and
that show be held under the auspices of
the Pacific Kennel Club, which is the pa
rent body.
Motions of divers kinds were in order
and out OF order. but finally the presi-
dent, after unloading himself of a large
cargo OF disgust said that the chair could
not entertaln-with all due respect to the
representatives of the Kennel Club who
were present-any motion 10 disband, as
there was but bare quorum present and
an act OF that kind would be an injustice
to the members who were unable to at
tend.
Mr.. Briggs moved that committee of
three be appointed TO interview the Off
GERS OF the Olympic Gun Club ana the st.
Bernard Club and procure their views
relative to Joining forces with the Pacific
Kennel Club with the object of giving
bench shown this City this year.
The motion was duly seconded and
carried and Messrs. Briggs, Bushnell ana
Halght were appointed q committee to
interview the officers of the clubs already
mentioned and report at special meeting
OF the Pacific Kennel Club, which will be
held on Wednesday evening, the Goth
instant.

POLICE COURTS

Responsible.
Clerks and Prosecutors Should

Somebody.

ney the Latter.

If the Civic Federation really means 20
attempt the reform of Police Court meth
DDS which have for so long served TO pro-
tect evildoers wherever it seemed worth
while it will find very valuable assistant
in the present Grand Jury.
The committee of the Grand Jury dele
gated to the especial duty of investigating
the police and other courts held its first
formal meeting yesterday, and Judge
Low, in response to an invitation, at
tended the session, and, answering their
inquiries, gave the members much to
think about.
Foreman Peixotto attended the meet
ing, and in speaking last evening OF the
matter under discussion he said: 1.-The
lax methods in vogue in our police courts
have long been matter of public scan
dal. They should be corrected. The
Grand Jury, however, is poWerless to do
more than 10 call public attention to them
and recommend a change.
1.-The main trouble arises from the fact
that the Police Court clerks and prosecut-
ing attorneys are appointed by the Board
OF Supervisors and are amenable TO nobody
but that board. As Judge Low put it this
afternoon, the Supervisors make the APP
pointments, and from that moment have
no further interest in them. So the prose
cutting attorneys and clerks practically run
the courts in many respects wholly indie
pendent of any body. Their books are said
10 be very badly kept, and there have been
charges of money purloined.
LAS to the prosecution of cases brought
in the courts the system is also very weak.
There is no continuity in cases held for
the higher court; they go up TO the Dis
trict Attorney with nothing more than
the mere record. Now all this could be
cured by simply making somebody re-
sponsible. If, Tor instance, the District
Attorney had the appointment of the
prosecuting attorneys he would be re-
sponsibIe for what they did, he would re-
quire them TO report to him; they would
keep their records IN such shape as 10 bear
his inspection, and in cases carried into
the criminal courts they could follow or
otherwise assist in the prosecution.
The clerks on the other hand might be
appointed by the County Clerk and he,
in turn. be held responsible for their con-
duct. He would see that their bonds were
good, for instance. AT present it is said
10 be notorious that the bonds of these
officers of the police courts were worth
less and have nearly always been so.'
The Grand Jury will meet to-day, but
no report of the committee referred to will
be made for some time.

periencs in an Elevator
Shaft.
A Perilous Side From the Third Story
of the San Francisco Furniture
Flctory

The spectacle of man hanging by
slender rope in the freight-elevator shaft
OF the San Francisco furniture factory
three stories from the bottom-electriied
q number of people yesterday morning.
Arthur Meadows, manager of Lang's
collection agency, did the aerial act, and
only his presence af mind and strong grip
saved him from broken limbs at the least
calculation.
Meadows is assisting John G. Hughes,
the assignee of the insolvent concern. to
straighten out its affairs, and spends
portion of each day in the factory. He
went there yesterday morning to see that
some electrical work was properly
done, and he took the workmen who had
been intrusted with the job in the freigh
hoist to show them the place where the
repairs were to be made.
The workmen, with their tool chests,
were taken up TO the third story, where
all but Meadows alighted. The latter was
about to leave the elevator, when the
cage-either because it had been started
by some employee below, or because the
machinery became deranged-started
down.
Meadows seized the rope that operated
the steam power and attempted to stop
the hoist, but to his horror it refused to
work, and the elevator began to move
rapidly down, accelerating its speed as it
descended.
Seeing possibility of serious conse-
ouences if he fell with the cage, Meadows
sprang at the rope and in an instant was
dangling in mldair, the cage having fallen
from under him just as he made his leap.
He hung for an instant deba ting whether
10 climb to the third story landing or to
side to the bottom, end then concluded
10 take the latter course.
The rope was small and gave him little
purchase, but he succeeded in reaching
The bottom with nothing worse than badly
skinned hands and scare that will last
him for many days.
The unmanageable elevator struck the
bottom with a resounding crash that
brought all the employees in the building
TO tins scene. The tool-chests were thrown
in all directions and the tools scattered
about. The rope that raised and lowered
the lift was thrown off its pulley by the
shock and the machine was generally
shaken up.
Meadows was able to slide down the
rope without serious accident from the
tact that he was sailor for several years
and learned the manner in which mari
ners go up and down fragile looking ropes
without apparent effort.
