CURTAILMENT NOT DESIRED. Merchants Do Not Want the Letter Delivery System Interfered
 With

The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Merchants association was held yesterday. Wilfrid B. Chap man, c. M. Foster & Co.,, M. s. Grinbaum & Co.,, Limited. and George Marcus & Go. were elected to membership. A tele- gram was received from the Merchants Association of New York calling atten- tion to the Senate amendment of the post office bill limiting free deliveries in all cities to four times daily. AS this amend ment would also curtail the postal service in San Francisco and cripple it's facilities the board of directors adopted resolu- tions against the proposed reduction.
 The board decided to advocate strongly the sprinkling of the streets and flushing of the sewers with salt water. Directors Grant, keil and Sherwood were appointed special committee to investigate this subject further and report to the board what action should be taken. It was de- cided to investigate the cost of lighting public buildings; also to recommend to tract for furnishing light to the city be as heretofore. Rapid progress was re- ported upon the repavement of cobbled blocks. A number of blocks on Post and Stockton streets, together with cross ings, have been repaved and are now q, good condition. Contracts for the re- pavement of blocks on Fourth. Sutter California and Pine streets, Grant avenue Montgomery and Sixth streets have pear- ly been completed and will be let as soon as the funds of the city are available for that purpose.

TO PROTECT THE FORESTS.
"A Move to Make the Mount Lassen
 District a Reservation.

The subject of forest preservation was discussed at the meeting of the State Board of Trade on Tuesday, and as result President Chipman was directed to pre- pare petition to the General Land Office at Washington asking the Government to set aside as a forest reservation a large portion of the country adjacent to Mount Lassen, or the Lassen Buttes, in Tehama County. The memorial will recite that the country in question, CT much of it. is within and near the snow line and cov- cred with dense forests. While these re- main as reservoirs of moisture the many streams that have their sources in that part of the mountain range will be kept supplied. In future years these streams will be the source of many valuable irri- gation canals to water the lower country. At the present time the sheep and lum- Der men are causing the forests to disap- pear and great damage will result to the State in the future

FRIENDSHIP SEVERED.
Troubles of Dancing Master Colvin
 and Mrs. Alma Wallin.

The charge of threats against life pre- ferred by Mrs. Alma Wallin, 506 Jones street, against Fred H. Colvin, dancing master in the Mission, was partly heard by Judge Low yesterday.
 Mrs. Wallin testified that she contrib uted money to start Colvin in the danc- ing business and she was to share In the profits. After six months he quit calling on her, and when she went to his dancing academy to demand her share of the re- ceipts he threatened to shoot her. She had altogether advanced him about S400.
 The defendant testified that he had plenty of money when he met the widow. They were good friends for awhile. ara then he came to the conclusion that she was not a proper person to have around the academy, so he discharged her. He had been paying her $1 per night. He denied owing her cent or threatening to shoot her.
 Several other witnesses were examined, and some of them testified that Mrs. Wallin had threatened to kill Colvin.
 On motion of the prosecution the case was continued until Tuesday to enable witnesses in rebuttal to be produced

REQ ORGANIZATION OF THE
 PERSONNEL OF THE NAVY.
The House Committee on Naval Af- fairs Has at Last Completed
 the Bill

WASHINGTON. May 12.-The Com mittee on Naval Affairs of the House to-day completed the bill for reorgani- zation of the personnel of the navy. The personnel bill has been quite as vexatious IS the appropriation bill It. self on account of the strife of the diff ferent corps of the navy to promote their interests.
 Hilborn, who has been present at every meeting of the committee and has presided much of the time eX- presses himself as fairly we'll satis- fled with the bill. For several sessions he had measures before Congress to give the enlisted men the right Of re- enlistment after thirty years service, privilege long since given to the en- listed men of the army and marine corps He has also steadily advocated giving commissions to warrant. officers after ten years continuous service.
 In the framing of the personnel bill he has been the champion of the sailors and warrant officers. He succeeded in engrafting his bill for re-enlisting the sailors without amendment. Under the bill as reported, warrant officers will get commissions after ten years ser vie, but are subject to examination upon promotion.

REVIEWING THE CHARTER.
Speakers for and Against the Pro-
 posed Fundamental Law.

The Mission League of Improvement Clubs held a special meeting last night at Mannerbund Hall, on Twenty-fourth street and Bryant avenue, for the pur- pose of discussing the charter. Presi- dent T. B. Slevin of the league stated that the debate on the merits of the char ter would be confined to two speakers on each side, with limit of twenty min utes to. each speaker. M. c. Hassett and Max Pepper argued for the charter and James B. Field and H. Meyers opposed them.
 MT. Hassett began with a general resume of the many ills under which the people of this city are suffering in consee- ouence of the workings of the too oft amended consolidation S aSt By +5esd 5SaopuinIlg iIlg would disappear and the body polite would become thoroughly purified.
 James E. Field responded in telling argument, showing the many absurdities of the proposed charter. The taking away of the peoples rights and concen- trating them in one man, he said, was the tn '"I-ci "Lord Mayor the right to impeach elected officers and have them tried by a court of his own. the Supervisors. thus supplanting the real courts of their ju- dicial authority by removing men from office without due process of law. Again, it made life members of all Lord May ors," of the Board of Supervisors, and placed them in a position where they could lODby D1IlS and ScnemeS without De- ing responsible to the people for their acts.
 H. Meyers followed MT. Field and punched as many holes through the work of the fifteen Freeholders as his prede- cessor had done. He denounced the civil service section as building up a privileged class against the masses.
 Max Pepper followed, supplementing MT. Hassett's exposition of the evils to be removed with a recital of the benefits he said would follow the charters adop- ton.

PURE FOOD MOVEMENT.
Senator Perkins Co-operates With the
 Manufacturers and Producers.

On May President Sbarboro. of the Manufacturers and Producers Associa- tion, forwarded telegram to Senator Perkins suggesting that In amending the revenue laws in compliance with the necessities of the present war, that a light tax be placed upon pure products and a heavier tax upon those that were mixtures or substitutes for the genuine article. The following letter from Wash ington was received yesterday:
 I am in receipt of your telegram giving reso- lution suggesting a lighter tax on pure food products than adulterations, and have sent copies to members of the delegation, as re- quested, and also to the Senate Finance Com rnittee that are now considering the bill. Yours very truly. GEORGE c. PERKINS.
 The prompt attention given to this mat ter by Senator Perkins is very gratify- ing to the friends of the pure food move ment, and it is to be hoped that some plan be devised by which the manufac- turers and producers of honest goods may be protected by the National Gov ernment.

George T.

H. Thomas of Tulare County reported that the entire grain crop is a failure there. The fruit yield will not be more than one-twentieth of the average, except along the foothills, where the prospects are fair for an average crop.
