NEWSBOYS' UNION IN
BUSINESS AND FUN
ELECT OFFICERS AND PERFECT
ORGANIZATION.

Fully three hundred newsboys crowded
into the old Breeder and Sportsman build
ing on Bush street last night to elect a
president for their newly formed union
And these three hundred news mer-
chants, who represent all classes of San
Francisco street life, conducted their
business as seriously as q body of law
makers. OF course there was little order:
but what power on this earth can still the
tongue or conquer the spirit of the news
boys. Captain Whitman sent two of his
big, burly policemen to keep the peace
and their presence was regarded as a
gross insult to the dignity of the News
boys Union. Happy Dougherty had
charge of the door, and when the cops"
made their appearance Happy shout

THERE WILL Be
NO CHILDREN
OF THE OWL
Coming Election in
Bohemia.

There will be an election in Bohemia
next month and the owl is pluming him
self for the event, but there is not that
enthusiasm which generally marks the
days preceding the clubs annual choice
of officers. There is but one ticket in
the field so far, and there is not even a
hint of opposition, and within three
weeks the One-sided fight will be on I'M
less some good Bohemians will get to-
gether to raise political trouble.
The election this year will be an event
in more ways than one. Hitherto the
owl has always had two or three of his
own chosen people among the aspiring,
but this year the ticket is given over to
mammon. There is a solitary lawyer in
the bunch, but the rest are from the
walks of trade-birds of the day and not
of the night; creatures of the counting
house and the cash book, not real fancy
free children of the owl. The ancient bird
will sit in solitary state in the council
and long for some kindred spirit to plead
for the men on the tag list and the due
book. 1t will be commercial board a
body of men to whom prompt payments
and regular hours are matters of exist
ence, and so the owl is not looking for
ward to the election with much interest.
As presented by the nominating COM
mittee, the ticket is as follows: Wander
lynn st9W, PRESIDENT w; 6. Stafford,
Griffield, F. P. Deering, c. o. G. Miller
and Kirkham Wright, directors.
They are all good men and loyal, earn
est club members, but they are not
drawn from the Bohemian element which
made the club possibility and then a
success. There is a sigh of regret over
this fact from more than one quarter of
the spacious rooms on Post street, but
the true Bohemian is not a business man
and it has come to pass that the con-
Germs of the owl must be looked after by
men who know the clink of gold and who
can keep the glittering circles from fly
ing too fast.

Board of Harbor Commission

The New President Adopts a Plan to

to Profit by the Scheme.

Mr. Colnon, and he said he was ready
to give way to me, SO we went down
to the Harbor Commissioners Office
and he showed me around. I filed my
credentials with the clerk last week,
and have already been a Commission
er for several days. l asked Mr.. Col
non whether any particular ceremony
had to be observed, and he said that
he knew OF. none. Not even a meeting
is necessary for q change of Commits
sioners. Mr.. Colnon was president of
the board and I have succeeded him.
At the meeting tomorrow, if one be
held, I shall preside, and I do not
know if Mr.. Colnon will be on hand
at all. He is no longer a member of
the board.
L do not know anything of what Mr.
Chadbourne may do, but l viii say that
l do not anticipate any trouble or fric
ton whatever. If any contention
should arise between Mr.. Herold and
Mr. Chadbourne l suppose the courts
must settle it. 1 certainly will not pre-

ing the functions belonging to the Of
foo Of Of - ,a oY.1
one questioned the right of perform
ance. His fellow Commissioners were
not apprised of any change in the preSi-
dency of the commission.
There will be a meeting a the board
this afternoon at o'clock Commits
sioners Harvey and Herold expect that
some preliminary business will be
transacted. after which Mr.. kilburn
will present his credentials, including
the certificate of the Secretary of State
that his bond has been approved and
filed as the law requires. When such
presentation is made the Commission
ers will direct that the credentials be
spread upon the minutes.
In this proceeding there will be no
departure from the usual and time
honored course of introducing a new
member of the board. Mr.. Kilburn will
not be recognized as member of the
board until his credentials are so pre-
scented and accepted.
The record of Commissioner HeroId's
appointment by Governor Budd will
clear away some erroneous notions on
that point. On March IA 1897, Governor
Budd sent a communication to the Sen
ate asking permission to appoint Mr..
Herold for term beginning March IS,
1898. On March 10, 1897, the Senate con-
firmed the appointment. On March 10,
1898. Governor Budd issued the com
mission to Mr.. Herold and on the fol-
lowing day Mr.. Herold qualified as a
Commissioner.
