The Union Also Arrayed Against
Alleged Employ ment of
Japanes,.

At last nights session of the San Fran
cisco Labor Council letter was read
which had been sent TO the Los Angeles
council by Police Commissioner Gunst, in
which he denied that he handles tene-
ment-made goods. The local council
claims to have in its posses ion proofs
that Kerbs, Wertheim e. Schiller, whose
goods are handled by Gunst, are en-
ployers of tenement labor. Accordingly
the secretary was instructed to send to
the Los Angeles council fuller informa-
tion on the subject, cleaned by the Cigar
makers Union.
The minutes OF the Los Angeles council
also contained the statement that COM
mittee OF three had been appointed to wait
on John Hanlon, ontractor on the Gov
eminent building, and endeavor to in
duce him to withhold all orders for struct-
ural iron from the Union Iron Works,
VIII ch is the lowest bidder, on account Of
the claim made that the works in ques-
ton employs fifty Japanese. The secre-
tary was instructed to send to the Los An
geles council further information in the
m after, to include the staten ent that the
Union Iron Works discriminates against
union labor, and discharges every man
ascertained to belong to union. Secre-
tary Rosen berg was also authorized to
communicate with the Secretary of the
Navy.
The Musicians Union reported that the
Sprecke.s Market and the Royal Cream
ery and Butter Company have discharged
their non-union men and employed
union musicians, but that the New Cream.

ropes with a left jab in the throat. and
before the big Oily mpian could regain his
balance Jeffries' left landed with swish
into the wiEd
This doubled Van and brought his head
forward. Jeffries saw his chance and de-
livered the knockout blow with his right
on the jaw.
Of the two little" fights which pre-
ceded the main event. the meeting be-
tween the Eghtweights, Maxwell and
Mor.isey, was the only one worth looking
at. 1t lasted three rounds and ended in a
knockout. 1t took Morrisey's seconds
fully five minutes to restore him to con-
sciousness.
The other fight was between Homer Nc
Coy and Henry Slater. How Mccoy ever
got the idea in his head that he was a
pugilist il is difficult TO divine. Siater
played with him Tor about half a round,
and then began to hit hard. Mccoy
wanted none of that, so he laid down and
pretended that he was knocked out, for
which he was roundly hissed by the spec
tators.

For the past several months we have

Merchants racked their brains trying to

NOAH BROOKS IN TOWN,
An O'd.Time Newspaper Man Of
California Revisiting Fa.
miliar Places.
He knew Abraham Lincoln Well
From 1856 Until the Mournful
Day of April, 1865

Noah Brooks of New YORK, an old-time
Californian, newspaper man of National
celebrity and a gifted contributor to re-
cent literature of Abraham Lincoln, is in
San Francisco. He was here sixteen years
ago, but this is his first visit since.
Mr.. Brooks was at the Bohemian Club
yesterday chatting about old times in
California with Uncle George Bromley and
telling anecdotes of Bret Harte, Mark
Twain, Isaac Bromley, Sam Williams,
Ben Avery and Sam Bowles. Many
dinners, and good ones, Mr.. Brooks has
had with men who figured largely in the
newspaper field of the United States. He
is an entertaining taker on many lines
and profoundly interesting when speak
ing of Lincoln, with whom he was we'll
acquainted many years before the great
President was ever thought of for the
Presidency.
In 1876 Noah Brooks was the editor
of the Dixon GILL Telegraph. He
attended many OF the meetings of the
Fremont campaign, which were addressed
by Abraham Lincoln. Later on Mr..
Brooks came to California and engaged in
the newspaper business at Marysville.
He went East again Immediately after
the first election of Lincoln and became
the war correspondent OF the Sacramento
Union. After the war he returned to
California and served a term as Naval
Officer of the Port of San Francisco. He
was an editorial writer on :he Ata Cali
fornia from 1866 until 1871. Among his
colleagues on the Alta were M. G. Upton
and Colonel John G. Cremony.
Subsequently Mr.. Brooks went East
again and was engaged on the staff of the
New York Tribune. He was on the New
York Times also for many years doins
newsp aper duty as an editorial writer
For a time Mr.. Brooks was editor of tn,
| Newark Daily Advertiser journal which
was established so long ago tina it pub
lished Washington's farewell address as
matter of news.
When Mr.. Lincoln was inaugurated ir
1861 Noah Brooks had the good fortune tc
know the President as an intimate friend
and so the correspondent soon becam,
! fam iliar with the Cabinet officers of tha
| time.
Mr.. Brooks recent contributions to the
| Century bring to the public light many
| interesting scenes at the White Hous,
during that memorable period. To use
modern expression it may be said tina
| Noah Brooks was slated for the position o
Lincoln's private secretary for the secont
| term.
Mr.. Brooks will remain in and abou
San Francisco for two or three weeks III,
expects TO goto-day with Governor Budc
and others to view from Mount TamaIpai,
! the rising of the sun Sunday morning
Owing to his long experience as a write
on morning newspapers, he will be abl
| to keep awake until dawn without tn,
! slightest fatigue.

DOCTORS WIN.

Marietta College Goes Down Before Ohio
Medical University.
The frst game of football of the sea-
son on the home grouds was played
here Friday afternoon between Mari
eta College and the Ohio Medical Uni
versity teams and was a good exhibi-
tion of the game, which was entirely
free from wrangling or ungentlemanly
conduct.
The Doctors were the winners by a
score of six to nothing.
A good-sized crowd was out TO see
the game. When the two teams lined
up it looked as though Marietta would
GO down easily before the vastly
heavier Colum bus boys, but the former
put up splendid contest and but for
one single brilliant play by o. NJ. U.
would haye won the game.
Two 2O-ninute halls were played
aud during most OF the time the ball
was in the visitors territory. Neither
side scored in the first half. In the
second half the players went into the
game with renewed vigor and for a
time Marietta had all the best of it.
The ball was finally pushed to within
few inches of the o. M. U. goal line.
1t was carried over by "a powerful
center buck, but Marietta was unable
to get it to the ground for touch
down and were forced back by theii
heavier opponents. The battle wage q
fiercely for few minutes, when O.'M
U. got the ball on downs and an in
stant after made one of the finest plays
! ever seen on the grounds. Teters,
their star half back, went around the
end, shook off Marietta's full back, and
made brilliant run straight down the
field for gain of 100 yards and I
touchdown. goal followed. making
the score to 0, where it remained un
til the close of the game.
Marietta, though in every instanc
playing good football, has now los
! three straight games by scores of si
to nothing.
