TREY |. FORD
 TO LEAD THEM
Annual Meeting and Election of the Union League
 Club.
Reports Show That the Organization Has Enjoyed Year of
 Prosperity.

The regular meeting and annual cleo ton of the Union League Club was held in its rooms at the Palace Hotel last evening
 Reports were read from the various officers showing the club to be in an even better condition than it was gen. orally supposed to be, which, by the way, Is saying great deal. The treas urer's report in particular showed a gain of thousands of dollars over last year.
 By far the most interesting part of the session was the election of officers for the ensuing year, for while the old officers have faithfully attended to their duties, they considered 1t but just to step out and make room for others, and on the other hand there is so much good material in the club that 1t was found somewhat difficult to make a selection.
 When the votes were counted and the announcement made that the Hon. Tirey L. Ford had captured the office of president it was hailed with general satisfaction, and MT. Ford. who is con sidered one of the brightest mining lawyers in the State, has the honor of being the youngest man who ever graced the presidents chair in the club. He responded gracefully to the calls for a speech and at its conclu- sion was applauded again and again.
 At the close of the meeting speeches were made by all the retiring officers as well as the newly elected ones-the old ones accounting what had been done in the past, and the new outlin- ing plans which prophecy a most bril- liant future for the club.
 The complete list of officers elected is as follows: Hon. Tirey l.. Ford, pres ident; General N. P. Chipman. first president; T. J. Parsons. second vice-president: s. J. Hendy. secretary; I. W. Hellman Jr.. treasurer; Revenue Collector John Lynch, J. P. Le Count. A. G. Booth. T. K. Stateler, George c. Clark and Arthur ". Spear directors

TALE OF BLIGHTED LOVE.
Hope That the Members Will Ca pitulate in the Near
 Future.

They do say that it is all on account of a tale of blighted affection. but nev- ertheless the fact remains that the Cos mos Club won't raise its latch strings and let the ladies in.
 And it is not because they have not asked, nay, begged, implored. that they be accorded the same privileges as their fathers, husbands, brothers and other girls brothers. They and a goodly DOT tion of their fathers, etc, etc. etc, have, f1guratively speaking, of course, gone down on their knees to the pow CTS that be, but in vain. Several crus- ty old bachelors are determined to keep them out, and unless startling changes in the management of the club come about, out forever they shall be.
 All the latest and most approved fashions of melting the male resolution have been tried, and, alas! found hope lessly wanting. Tears were of no avail. Facts, undeniable facts, backed. by choicest rhetoric and soundest argu- ment, were brushed aside. and in face

Captured Last EveninQ bY Dete ctiveS Dillon and
 Crockett
A Full Set of Tools Found in His Room on Golden Gate Ave-
 nue and Larkin Street.
EVIDENCE IS CONCLUSIVE.
It Is Said That the Prisoner Was Max ing Desperate Efforts to Reach
 the KlOndike.

The celebrated race track counter feiter was captured by Dillon and Crockett, assisted by Wren and Dinan, last evening"
 For days past the police department was aware that a man was in the city who answered the description of per son long wanted. In consequence, Dil- lon and Crockett were detailed on the case. and last evening Gilbert Kindall who resides on Golden Gate avenue. the tanks.
 In Chief Lees office 1t was learned that the counterfeiter had a complete outfit in his possession. Acids, molds, presses and metals were found in quan titles in two valiseS in the room. Nine $l0 pieces, all ready for market, and the same number of unfinished coins, as we'll as a number of 8 coins were found in the room in the lodging house on Golden Gate avenue, near Larkin street.
 A year ago it is supposed the same man passed counterfeit coins in pool boxes on the local race courses, but no trace of him was discovered, al- though it was reported to the contrary. The coins were a good imitation of the government output anu lllc dlIcSL lS necessarily an important one.
 Many letters were found in the room. but the addresses and names were both destroyed. One signed E. l.. $. and an- other mentioning the name of E. l.. Taylor frequently referred to the Klon- dike. and it is thought the victim had taken desperate chances to get to the Alaska gold fields.
 The arrested man endeavored to pass a spurious coin in the Thalia few nights ago, but the trick was diScOv cred, and the criminal fled.
 In the room where he resided 1t was told that he had often stayed up during the night, and that strange filing noises were often heard. It is possibly through the landlady's efforts that the man was captured, but the address is kept se- cret by the police authorities.
 The room, when searched, looked like a United States Mint. Coin, dies, acids and metals were strewn about, and the evidence against the culprit is piled feet high.
 He states that he has been in the city but three weeks, and the statement is partially believed, as it is known that he has imposed upon the racing circuit during the past year or so.
 The capture is thought to be especial ly clever.

c. Kuhlman's guns have been spiked to a finish. pr. Fred D'Evelyn must gnash his teeth in outer darkness and bewail his fate alone.
 OXytuberculin triumphs-there can be no doubt of that. Everything was decided at the monthly meeting of the County Medical Society last evening. | A fight was expected over the report of the committee on ethics. and conse- queptly the hall was crowded, about a hundred physicians being present, many of them being graduates of Cooper Medical College.
 Two reports were brought in; a ma jority report signed by Chairman Thorn and Drs. Davis. Sherman and Taylor, and a minority report signed by Dr. Happersberger. Both were read by Chairman Thorn. The majority report recited in legal phrase that Dr. Kuhlman had preferred charges of unprofessional conduct against Hirschfelder on the grounds that he had had circulars published telling of his oXytuberculin treatment for consumption and had gone to the newspapers, thus violating article 3, section l of the American Medical Code; that both the accuser and the man charged by him were reputable physicians; that the fact that Dr. Hirschfelder had done these things was much to be deplored, but that the blame lay mostly with the daily press for bringing so much pressure to bear in securing information on these sub jects. After mature consideration, the report read, the charges did not have evidence enough to sustain them.
 Dr. Happersberger in the minority report not only believed Hirschfelder guilty of unprofessional conduct, but thought the fact especially deplorable on account of the accused mans stand ing in the medical world.
 Kuhlman at once made a vigorous effort to argue the case, but was ruled out of order. Then he wanted to have secret ballot, but failed also in that Then he wanted the minority report voted on first. He was told that the only parliamentary method in such a case would be to move that the minor ity report be substituted for the ma jority report in priority of considera- tion.
 Then 1 do that" he shouted, jump ing to his feet. Evidently he meant this peculiar sentence as a motion but there was no second and the majority report was adopted by a large ma jority.
 Now, then" yelled Kuhlman. as soon as the result was manifest, ''I move that Dr. DEvelyn be reinstated into good standing in this society. It IS an utterly unfair proceeding to make bird of one and fish of the other"
 By this time there was a gentle mur- mur of enjoyment in the air and all present with the solitary exception of Dr. kuhlman wore broad smiles on their countenances. The motion had no second, and died a speedy death.
 There are good many who do not believe that justice has been done. comparatively speaking. These medi- cos protest that everything has to go Cooper Collegeward in the society, and they don't like it a little bit.
 But, anyway, Dr. Buckley is still left to fight Hirschfelder outside the fold of the society, with the City and Coun- ty Hospital inmates as defenders to the death.

BRANDED AS
 IN COLLISION
HarbOr Commissioners Com plained Against by Samuel
 C. Irving.
He Has Brought Suit to Enjoin Them From Committing Further
 IndiscretiOns.

The difficulty over the preparation of the piles for Green street wharf to pro- tect them from the hungry teredoes has been transferred to the courts. and in an action filed yesterday by Samuel C. Irving the Harbor Commits sioners have practically been charged with collision. Samuel C. Irving in his action asks that the Harbor Com missioners, E. L. Colnon, F. s. Chad burne and P. J. Harvey, be enjoined from committing certain acts the plaintiff alleges are contrary to law. right and justice.
 It is alleged by the plaintiff upon in formation and belief that the Harbor Commissioners are in collusion with the San Francisco Timber Preserving Company and are unlawfully award ing that corporation contracts. The Green street wharf contract and all other contracts where piles are to be used for a year to come have been awarded the San Francisco Preserving Company, it is alleged. During the past year contracts aggregating S5O- 900 have been awarded the lucky com pany, and it is charged in the com plaint that the prices paid it were greatly in excess of the bids of the Paraffine Paint Company
 It is charged that such action on the part of the Harbor Commission is in violation of law and is collusion. The complaint goes on to state that the commission, by clever evasion of the law. has been enabled to carry out it's plan and the alleged plan is explained In order to evade the law the con- tracts were awarded in small parcels of $3000 or less, it is stated In this way the law requiring advertisements for bids and open competition was not transgressed, and entire contracts for heavy work eventually fell into the hands of the San Francisco Timber Preserving Company
 Another alleged plan to evade com petition was to insert in the published applications for bids directing that certain patented machinery for the preserving of timber must be used and 1t Is fntimated that in consequence no company but the San Francisco could compete, as that corporation owned the machinery required to be used by the commission. The clause Tn the advertisements requiring the use or the certain machinery, the plaintiff alleges, was inserted at the request of the San Francisco Company, which goes to show that collusion exists, and the court is asked to demand a dis continuance of such practice.
 At the special request of the Htigants Presfd1ng Judge Belcher will hear the case when 1t comes to trial. Interest

of forbidding lack of appreciation for the better half of humanity, melted like a snow bank exposed to the burn ing rays of the midday sun.
 Even the law of precedent availed nothing. The courtesy of the swell Bo- hemian Club dinners, all the more de- lightful because of the presence of the ladies, tales of suppers at the Univer- sity Club, all duly labeled as Ex- hibit A, B, etc, was submitted in de- fense. but all sternly and decidedly ob- jected to. The strangest part of the strange refusal to admit ladies within the sacred precincts of the conserva- tive Cosmos Club is that the majority of the club members are army and navy men. All ladies stand ever ready to worship warriors bold. and the ado ration in go cases out of 100 Is always returned and more than appreciated.
 Then the Cosmos Club has unusual facilities for the entertainment of la dies. There are side doors innumera- ble. There is an entrance right under the main staircase and another that opens into Octavia street. These en- frances lead direct to the private din- ing hall, and if the ladies are bound over to use them the sterner sex is restricted to the main entrance. No man who fears to meet a lady needs to. Further, the halls are full of iOohS llldl VIII dSSlSl IIe DdSnIul CluD members to hide until the rustic of silken skirts Is lost to keenest ears: and then there is the garret, large, commodious and capable of acccommo- dating any number of them It Is said that in the question of lady ad- mittance the club Is most unevenly divided. Fair woman has many stanch adherents, who stand ready to battle for her, and an unusually large majority who are opposed to her. with in the portals of the club. No definite reason is advanced for this violent op- position save an oft-repeated and gruff We don't want woman in this club"
 Rumor has it that a warrior bold. with a magnificent war record-Lieu- tenant Runcie-is one of the most vio- lent opposers, and the same reliable source of information goes on to state that sad, sad past, in which a tale of blighted love figures conspicuously, is the main cause of the decided opposi- tion.
 However be that as 1t may, the ladies can't get fn-just at present. They nope, however, to gain their point. and Tn the meantime are going to play for the return of ladies luncheon day. annual affair-like in the good old days when J. M. Cunningham and Colin M. Boyd had the management of the club In their capable hands.

BURGLARS FOND OF LIGHT.
Tbieves Entered the Residence of J. Perrington WbiIe the Family
 Was at Church.

Burglars broke into the residence of J. Perrington, 466 Frederick street, on Sunday evening while the family was at church. and ransacked the house. They gained entrance through the front door by means of skeleton keys. They succeeded in getting away with a suit of clothing, $25 in cash and quan- tity of jewelry. They left the house the way they entered it and left no trace that would lead to their identity. They lighted nearly every gas jet in the house, and when the family returned they found their residence in a blaze of light.

ordered today to proceed at once to
