CONFLICTING STORIES
FROM THE HAGUE

LONDON, June 16.-The correspondent
of the Times at The Hague remarking
upon the changed outlook says: 1T
now seems possible that the conference
may achieve some substantial practical
results and conclude its labOrs earlier
than was expected. The arbitration com
mission is now making satisfactory pro-
gress. To-day there is a fresh proposal in
the air which may safely be attributed to
Sir Julian Pauncefote.
This consists in making The Hague
the seat of permanent bureau, COM

lister as president 1t would have the ad-
vantage Of dispensing with salaried Off

HAVEMEYER'S SLAP AT
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
His Remarks Expunged From the
Record, but the Words Are
Not FORGOTTEN.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Mr Have
meyers attack on labor organizations
Will be expunged from the records Of
the Industrial Commission at his own
request. That part which was calcu-
lated to give the greatest offense to
labor was the paragraph in which he
expressed the conviction that associa-
tons of workingmen tended to degrade
labor by destroying individual indie
pendence. He realized he had been i'm
prudent by giving utterance to the
theory and candidly said he wished he
had not gone into the subject. Although
that section of Havemeyer's testimony
will not be in the official record it will
not be lost, for a dozen stenGgraphers
were there to send it broadcast.
Mr. Havemeyer is apparently in favor
of organization in everything except la
Dor. He thinks workingmen's organiza-
tons are bad because they destroy in
dividuality, yet in another part of his
testimony he blurted out the express
sion the day of the individual is
passed." meaning that affairs of the
world are to be hereafter controlled by
combinations.
This phrase of Mr.. Havemeyer will
be remembered as long as the remark
of the late William H. Vanderbilt, The
public be DID, 1t will form the text
for thousands of editorials and cam
paign speeches.

DECISION RELATING
TO HOP CONTRACTS
Judge Davis Final Ruling in Suits
That Have Interested All Grow
ORC in the State
We're guilt

MARYSVILLE, June 15.-In the Supe-
rior Court to-day Judge Davis rendered
his decision in the cases of II. Mitau ct
al VS.. J. w Roddan, +. G. Horst ct al.
and P c. Drescher against the same de-
PENDANTS the suits growing out of con-
tracts made between the firm of Mebius
& Drescher of Sacramento and Roddan
Bros. for delivery Of the hops raised on
the latters' farm near Wheatland for five
years, beginning in 1899. which contracts
were assigned to Z. c. Horst of San Fran
cisco by the Roddans. Horst, who has al
ready contested a liability of $50 900 on the
deal, is most affected by the decision.
The court holds that while the contracts
were assignable, the defendants Were
guilty of a breach of the contracts by
their refusal to allow an inspection Of the
hop crop by MebiuS q DreScher on the
farm The plaintiff is awarded commits
sions on the bonus contracts of January
and March of 1897 and nominal damages
tracts of the same year; also damages for
the breach of the contract of 1898. No
damages are allowed the defendants on
their counter claim. Plaintiffs are denied
attorneys fees but it is held that the
trustees are entitled to lawful disburse-
ments.
The court holds that 1900 pounds of
hops delivered by the growers, the Rod
dams, to plaintiff, Drescher were delivered
under the 1892 contract and not under the
market price Of hops in 1897 was IA cents
and in 1898 10 cents
These suits which were tried early this
year, attracted considerable attention
from hop men throughout the State
many of whom were on the stand as ex-
governing hop contracts, the market
price. etc.

THE ENEMIES OF
DREYFUS ACTIVE

NEW YORK. June ia special
cable to the Sun from Paris says: 1t is
daily becoming evident that there is
much ferment in military circles. This
is demonstrated by several recent or
ders of the day issued to troops by
their commanders. Consequently the
new Government viii probably find it
necessary to adopt severe disciplinary
measures.
The anti-revisionist press daily grows
holder in expressing the opinion that
the new court-martial will condemn
Dreyfus and is simultaneously seeking
to warp the judgment of the prisoners
future judges by appeals to them to
protect the honor of the army.
Rennes, the town where the court
martial will sit. is already in a state
of great agitation and everything in
dicates that there will be considerable
turbulence during the trial The au-
thorities, realizing the danger, are
taking extensive measures for the pre-
servation of order.
The newspaper, DrOits de lHOmme,
publishes an alleged statement from NJ.
Krantz. retiring Minister Of War, to
the effect that his experience in the
war office had not altered his opinion
Of the Dreyfus case. He was convinced
that both Dreyfus and Colonel Picquart
were guilty

Los ANGELES
GHOUL|SH WAR
Strife Of Coroner and
Undertakes.
RENEWED AFTER A MURDER
STRUGGLE FOR THE BODY OF
THE SLAIN CHILD WIFE.
Complaints Against E. n. Bresee and
E. ID. Shafer for obstructing
an Officer in Discharge
of His Duty.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, June 15.-The strife be-
tween Coroner Holland and Bresee Bros,
undertakers, regarding the disposition of
bodies in Coroner cases came this after
noon to an acute stage when DIR. Holland
swore out complaints charging Z. H.
Bresee and E. NJ. Shafer with obstructinx
an officer in the discharge of his duty
under the provisions of section 44S of the
Penal Code.
The present contention involves the body
Of George Elliott Hanchette, the girl
wife who at an early hour yesterday was
murdered at the Columbia lodging house
by her husband Earl Hanchette
Shortly after the girl-wife died of her
wounds Bresee appeared on the scene
armed with the authority of an order from
E. H. Griffith. relative of the dead girl,
and removed the body in his dead-wagon.
When the Coroner went to make his Of
fetal investigation the body was gone. He
was referred to the Bresee undertaking
parlors.
Then it was that the anger of DR.. Hol-
land rose IN its might, and in his wrath
he refused to hold the inquest at the
Bresee place. He later went to Bresee'S
with his jury and viewed the remains
after which he adjourned to the under
taking rooms of c. d. Howry, who, since
DR.. Hollands regime, dating January /,
mas apparently enjoyed the greater share
of Hollands patronage.
After the inquest was completed. Cor
0ner Holland laid the matter before the
District Attorney. This disgusting exhi-
bltion in a struggle with ghoulish fiend-
tshness to gain control of inanimate clay
for commercial results has arisen owing
to the lack of a public morgue, while
the war has been on since early in Janu-
airy. 1t is an open secret-so open as TO
be no secret at all-that politics is under
the whole affair. The county corpse bust
ness is a profitable one for the undertake
ers, and during the last campaign DR..
Holland received the support of G. D.
HoWry and r. A. Garrett, undertakers,
on the understanding that once in office
his patronage was to be turned their way.
Dr.. Holland tried to live up to the pledge
in good faith. but Bresee and opposing
undertakers frequently prevented. Time
and again, with the authority of friends
and relatives of the deceased. bodies that
were the object of official investigation
were removed to other establishments
Notwithstanding the furious objections
that always came from DR.. Holland, who
contends that bodies of persons who die
by violence or under suspicious crcum-
stances are not to be interfered with
after discovery without mis- authority.
The inquest over the remains was held
and a verdict that death resulted from
a gunshot wound inflicted by Earl Han
Ghetto with murderous intent was re-
turned. Hanchette is still alive, though
he shot himself through the abdomen,
and may recover.

CONTEST OVER AN
EXCHANGE OF LANDS
Mountain Conner Cnnnnany's Se1an-
ton in Accordance With an
Act of Congress.

REDDING. June 15.-The Mountain
Copper Company has made application to
select about $500 acres of land in the
neighborhood of its mines and plant,
using as basis for the selection certain
railroad lands purchased from the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Company and To-
cateu in ne Sierra forest reserve and
within the Visalia land district. Under the
act of Congress of June 4, 1897, lands
within a forest reservation which are
owned by private parties may be surren-
dered to the Government by deed and
other lands selected in lieu thereof
These tracts, owned by the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company and purchased by
the Mountain Copper Company are sur
rendered and the lieu selections thus
made, as provided for in the act of Con-
gress mentioned. While the Mountain
Copper Company disclaims any intention
of contesting valid mineral claims on
lieu lands applied for or of interfering
with the right of miners, the applca-
ton of the big mining company will be
contested in the local land office, as the
lands in question are for the most part
covered by mineral affidavits. The rail-
road company at various times has en-
deavored to secure governmental mineral
land in this county, but has been defeat
ed in every case where the miners have
contested the application.

WORK ON THE SAN
PEDRO BREAKWATER
News Comes That Will Greatly Aid
in fastening the Govern
ment Contracts.

Los ANGELES. June ID. w. Wyck-
off, general manager of the Government
breakwater at San Pedro. and represen-
tative Of Mrs Peter w. Neu of Chicago,
says the keel for the fourth scow to be
used for rock dumping was laid at San
Pedro to-day. The third scow will be
completed by July /, while two boats
have for some time been in commission.
The two scows now used each have a ca
pacty of 775 tons of rock. The new boats
will be able to carry 1900 tons al a load.
The contractors have seventy-fiye men
employed in their quarries, and forty in
the shipyard. The work of construction
will be in full swing by August l, when
175 men will work in the quarries
Two scow loads of rock are being
dumped each week. When operations are
under full Roadway. two loads will be
dumped each day. Where it now takes
three or four days to load barge with
working material for the proposed break
water. the same thing will after a time
be accomplished in as many hours. The
many obstacles that have been encoun-
tered have by the persistency of the con-
structors gradually disappeared. Mrs
Peter w Neu, wife of the dead cor
tractor. is expected to be in Los Angeles
some time during the coming month. The
estate still owns its interests in the San
Pedro breakWater contracts.

THIRTY THOUSAND
MAY BECOME IDLE
Many Miners Out of
Work in Colorado.
PROPERTIES SHUTTING DOWN
STRIKE TO ENFORCE THE EIGHT
HOUR LAW.
Through the Closing of Mines and
Shelters Five Thousand Rail
road Men May Also
Lose Work.
PROPERTIES SHUTTING DOWN
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DENVER, June 15.-Thirty thousand
men in Colorado viii be out of work
within the next three days unless steps
are taken to end the strike of the smell
ter employees. The Omaha and Grant
and the Globe in Denver, the Bimetal-
lie and the Arkansas Valley at Lead
Vile, the Eilers and the Colorado smelt-
ers at Pueblo are closed. The Argo
smelter in Denver has complied with
the eight-hour law and is still running
The Guggenheim smelter at Pueblo also
is running. The closed works are un-
der guard, but nowhere have the men
made any demonstrations.
AT Central City the men employed in
the stamp mills are soon expected to
strike. These mines have already
closed: The Commodore Amethyst,
Bachelor Bachelor No. 2 and Last
Chance mines, in the Creole district;
the Calliope and Hagerty at Ouray; the
Caribbean and MonteZuma, near Ophir:
the Iron Mask and Black Iron at Red
Cliff; the Smuggler at Aspen The
Porter Fuel Company at Durango has
closed, throwing $50 men out of work.
From all parts of the State come re-
ports that mines are reducing forces.
AT LeadVille 800 men have been dis
charged, and in view of the orders o
ship no more ore to the closed smelterS,
little except development work is go
ing on. The loss in wages to the men
at Durango by the twelve Gays close
of the smelter is $4,000
Should the mines close all over the
State 5000 railroad men will be thrown
out of employment.
-Four mines of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company, three near Canyon City
and one in Pitkin County, have been
shut down on account of wage differ
ences.
The real crux of the situation seems
to be with the trust and it's employees"
said Governor Thomas to-day. The
mines will have no trouble if they can
dispose of their products; they must
suspend because their market is af-
fected. The men in charge of the trust
public spirited and progressive, and if
they refuse to participate in the effort
to remove the pending embargo upon
our prosperity it will be because they
have no discretion in the premises. The
men they have heretofore employed viii
not decline to occupy middle ground
with their employers. for they are doing
so at ArgG and in Pueblo. The public
have a tremendous interest in the con-
trOversy, and they should insist upon
a speedy and peaceful compromise"
Governor Thomas said that there can
be no good reason why the eight-hour
law should not be tested without delay,
and he added that the people will ac-
quiesce IN the decision or the courts

lor may accept eligible members from
any part of the State. The question
of the time of installation of officers of
subordinate parlors has been settled by
fixing the time in all parlOrs for the
months of January and July.
There is a movement on foot looking
to the establishment of a scholarship
in the State University for those Ma
tive Daughters who may desire to take
a post graduate course The question
has not been formally brought up yet,
but probably viii before the session
ends, as it has many warm advocates
and it is believed the necessary fund
could be secured.
In answer to a question the parlor
has decided that the grand president is
entitled to district the State as she sees
fit and appoint deputies accordingly.
The delegates had a rest this evening.

BUSY IN THEIR ORCHARDS.
So the Fruit Men Could Not Attend
the Lodi Meeting.

LODI. June 15.-The fruit growers
meeting, scheduled for yesterday after
noon, did not come off, hence the local
growers union was not organized. The
president and secretary prepared for bust
ness, but there was not a sufficient num-
Der of fruit men present to constitute
quorum and the meeting was declared off
Why such a lack of interest was shown
after the enthusiasm of last week when
the State organizers were in town is
mystery which the local officers are un-
able to explain. Probably the absence of
growers was accounted for because of
the fact that just now they are in the
midst Of very busy season and can find
little or no time for anything outside of
their orchards AT the meeting yesterday
delegates were to be elected to the State
Fruit Growers Association which meets
in Sacramento on Saturday. However,
nothing could be done in that line, and il
the local fruit men are represented there
it must be individually 1t looks doubt
full now regarding the formation of
local growers union. No date has been
set for another meeting

serve early records and traditions of
the aborigines and Spanish, to care for
precious relics and collect data for his
tory. She urged that memorial tablets
be made and placed on spots sanctified
by heroic deeds or made famous by his
torical incidents She referred TO how
the Eastern States marked every spot
of interest by tablets and monuments.
and urged that each parlOr plant a tree
that would grow and flourish long af
ter the members had passed away.
Each parlor should have a historian,
a museum. There should be a chair of
California history in the university.
State pride should be fostered by State
songs, State literature and flowers.
The remarks were well received. and
some of the suggestions will probably
be faVOrably acted upon by the parlor.
The parlor did not reach the election of
grand officers to-day. Cora b. SiffOrd
will undoubtedly be chosen grand pres
ident Tomorrow There is considerable
good natured rivalry Tor some of the
offices. but all electioneering is being
done in the most friendly spirit. There
was much Indignation to-day over the
tenor Of reports made by a local paper,
which sought 10 make it appear that
personalities were being INDUCED in by
some of the friends Of those mentioned
for Grand Parlor offices. AS Mrs.
Sifford is now grand vice president the
unWritten rules OF the order remove
the grand presidency from any contest.
The chief interest centers in the cleo
ton of her successor, who will be either
Mrs. Baker or Mrs. Gett. There are
many amendments and additions to the
ritual which have been proposed and
which must be disposed Of before ad-
jOurnment.
The delegates will have to work hard
tomorrow to finish, but there is no rule
to prevent the parlOr continuing the
session the following day if there is
business demanding attention remain
ing at the end of the stated sessions
An effort is being made to do away
with the requirement that the constitu-
ton and bylaws be read at each par
lor meeting. The question Of time con-
sumed in reading is being urged against
the present provision. 1t is probable
that if this obligation is not eliminated
entirely provision will be made for the
reading only at stated intervals.
1t has been decided that no individ-
ual member can purchase a copy Of the
ritual unless the same is allowed to
remain in the possession of the presi-
dent Of the parlor. 1t was also an
nounced that candidates for admission
to the order need not join the parlor
