HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION.
Grand Jury Examines Several More
Witnesses.

The Grand Jury resumed its investiga-
ton in the matter of the purchase of
hospital supplies yesterday afternoon and
examined several more witnesses in that
connection. When Supervisor Kalben,
who is a member of the Hospital Com
mittee, was put on the stand he charac-
terized the investigation as an outrage
instigated by the Examiner, which he
claimed had induced Mayor Phelan to
bring up the charges. Kalben was asked
why drugs We're not advertised for and
he replied that 1t would cost more to ad-
vertise than the goods would cost Su-
pervisor Black was not kept long, as he
stated that he knew nothing about the
matter. Supervisor Attridge, chairman Of
the committee, told Of the conditions
which prevail at the hospital on account
Of reduced appropriations and cited the
fact that the supply Of milk was now
thirty gallons a day less than heretofore.
Another witness was 7. Prendergast,
who said that some goods on the contract
schedule We're bought in open market at
much higher prices. He had compared
the prices Of last year with those Of the
present year, and found the latter greatly
increased. DR.. Barger, former supern-
tendent Of the County Hospital; Former
Steward Paul Edwards and William r.
Griffin We're also examined as to what
they knew regarding the furnishing of
supplies.

MISS LOR|NG OF
BERKELEY NOT
YET 4 BRIDE
Proposal Was Made
Too RashIy.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
d On+

JUo bTOduNSSb OSI' 1V'
Miss Counie Loring of West Berkeley
is not yet a bride, and Del Cutting Bush,
who wanted to be married in a hurry, has
gone back TO Sacramento.
The young lady, who is but II years old,
cannot understand why the young man
should have procured a marriage license
before he had even made proposition
of marriage TO her. Mr.. Bush realizes
that the marriage is off and has returned
the license to the County Clerk and all
West Berkeley is a-wondering.
The story of this peculiar escapade is
thus told by Miss Loring:
The whole affair is ridiculous, she
said, land l would give anything to nave
it all hushed up. | had no idea that Mr
Bush had any such intention.
'Of course, l used to know him when
we were children together in Sacramento
He even came to see me once, remehl-
ber But ours was just a mere acqualnt-
ance. Why. he never even fiirted, as the
rest of the boys, do you know
when he came to see US last Monday
l barely knew him, our acquaintance mad
Knowing that he had no friends here
mother asked him TO stop with US untll
the next day, when he said that he would
have to return to Sacramento. We all
treated him kindly because we sympa-
thized with him in his loss.
Monday afternoon friend and l went
with him to Mountain View Cemetery
where he had some business to attend TO.
We left him there and went down town
TO do some shopping.
The next day he said he must go to
San Francisco, and went away. 1t must
have been then that he bought the
license, for that evening he proposed
to me.
II was so surprised that I hardly knew
what TO say. l felt sorry for him on ac-
count of his mothers death, but the
whole thing was so ridiculous that could
not help but laugh
Il told him it was out of the question
and he must not think of such thing.
1T was only the next day while on
the boat going to San Francisco to do
some shopping that friend spoke 10
me of having seen my name announced
as one of the parties TO marriage
license.
Il was fairly stunned. for I had not the
slightest idea that the man had had the
presumption to go and get a license be-
fore he had even asked me 20 marry him.
1T Is simply awful TO be talked about
in this way. And what Will my friends
think of me2
surely the mans mind is unbalanced.
Why any sane man when he was refused
would have kept still about it. l think;
don't you?'
Miss Loring's father cannot account for
Del Bush's behavior, and says that the
recent loss of his mother must have af-
fected his mind.

BoWDEN AND HIS EXCELLENT

Little denies that he used anything but
his fist upon Bowden, and it is yet swol-

He also says that Bowden first tried to
strike him before he made the attack

ASSIST THE JEWELLERS

Obtaining a Reduction in
Working Hours

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-The execu-
tive council of the American Federation
of Labor at it's session to-day voted that
the federation financially assist the jew

dence, with a view of the more thorough
organization of the trade and to be help
full in every way to secure a recognition
of the union, as well as a reduction in the

unnecessarily forcing their employees to
work long hours pei, day under the pre-
tense of overtime, the executive council
passed resolutions condemning the prac-
tice.
The organization of the workers of the
far West was again taken up, and the Of
ficers located at Headquarters were in

rames of additional organizers to the ex-
ecutive council for approval.
