CLIMBED MOUNT TAMALPAIS.
Postoffice Outing Club Enjoyed a
Novel Early Morning Picnic.

The members of the recently organized
Postoffice Outing Club climbed to the
summit of Mount Tamalpais before dawn
Yesterday morning, and were well repaid
for the exertion of the long tramp by a
glorious view of the rising sun. The mail
handlers, accompanied by their wives, sis
ters and sweethearts. left San Francisco
Saturday night on the theater boat for
Sausalito. From that place they went by
train to Ross Station, where they arrived
very early Sunday morning. Then COM
menced the mountain climbing. There
were a number of musicians in the party,
and under the inspiring influence of music
the summit was reached at 4 a. m, be-
fore any one thought of being tired and
lust as old Sol was making his appear
ance above the distant horizon. After
enjoying a light luncheon and a few
hours rest the party descended the trail
to Mill Valley, where they boarded the
train for the city. The clubs next outing
will be held in about two weeks and a
cordial invitation is extended to all civil
service employees.
The officers of the club are: Captain, j.
A. Spiller; lieutenant, Peter j. Fay; libra
rian and scientist, c. Wise O'Brien scout,
T, Jerry Lynch guide. George F. Tsi-
koores: advocate, Guy c. Calden; ca
boose William T. Scudder
Before leaving the summit Captain
SpilIer released two carrier pigeons. and
the birds arrived at their cotes on Union
street just forty minutes later.

BOYS FEARFUL
FALL NEAR THE
CLIFF HOUSE
Walter Herkenham Is
Dying.
HE SLIPPED FROM THE ROCKS
SKULL FRACTURED AND HEAD
BADLY CUT.
Was Allowed to Lie at the Park Hos
pital for Two Hours When an
Immediate Operation Was
Imperative.

Walter Herkenham, the twelve-year- -olu
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Herkenham
of 909 Alice street, Oakland, fell yester-
day afternoon a distance of thirty feet
from the rocks near the Cliff House. re-
ceiving serious but not necessarily fatal
injuries.
1t is possible. however that the delay
in dressing the boys wounds caused
through lack of necessary accommoda
tlons at the Park Hospital may result in
his death.
In the recklessness of youth young
Herkenham began the ascent of the rag
ged promontory that juts into the ocean
just below the Cliff House shortly after
o'clock in the afternoon. He had as
cended thirty feet when his playmates,
standing below on the beach, heard him
scream. Looking up, they were transfiXed
with horror when they saw that he had
lost his hold upon the Crags and was
slipping towards the rocks below. They
shouted for help, but an instant later the
body of the boy shot downward. He lay
on the rocks while half a hundred people
who witnessed his fall hurried TO his aid.
His unconscious and bleeding body was
picked up and carried to the Seal Rock
House, word being Immediately sent to
the Park Emergency Hospital. The am
bulance hurried out and in an hour he
was in the hospital
DR.. Niemeyer made an examination of
bleeding prOfusely from a ragged wound
in the head and also that he had in all
probability suffered a fracture of the oc-
cipital bone on the left side Although
IT was the opinion of the physician tnat
an operation should be performed immedi-
ately in order to save the patients life,
a lack of facilities prevented.
For some unacCountable reason the
Board of Health has never seen fit to put
a ward in at the headquarters of the Park
Hospital. There are only sufficient instru-
ments a the institution with which to
successfully remove a splinter or dress
bumped head. A capital operation is i'm
possible. For this reason no operation
could be performed on Herkenhan at the
Park Hospital, and after the hemorrhage
had been controlled, a matter occupying
some time, bandage was placed around
the boys head and he was removed to the
Receiving Hospital.
Charlie Herkenham, the injured boys
brother. and Grove and Wallace OConnor
accompanied the ambulance to the Re
ceiving Hospital. AS soon as they saw
the still unconscious youth placed in bed
they hurried to his home and apprised his
parents of the accident.
In the meantime preparations had been
made at the Receiving Hospital to operate
on the injured lad. The parents arrived
al the hospital before the operation COM
menced. however, and had him removed
to the Lane Hospital. There he will re-
main until such time as returning health
will permit of his removal to his home or
until death relieves his sufferings.

TAX LEVY WILL
Be DISCUSSED
BY PERV|SORS
To Listen to Pleas of
City Officials.

At o'clock this afternoon the heads of
departments at the City Hall will go be-
fore the Board of Supervisors to clamor
for cash. The Fire Department the
County Clerk, the Assessor and all the
rest of those who have spent the past two
weeks in pleading for a raise in their
apportionment under the tax levy, have
been notified that the board has granted
them rehearing, and that half-hour of
to-days meeting has been set aside for
them.
The Finance Committee has as yet done
nothing toward fixing the permanent tax
levy, nor will it until Mayor Phelan makes
good his promise to meet with it and
point out just how to satisfy everybody
and keep within the dollar limit" Be
fore leaving on his late vacation the
Mayor announced that he would meet
with the committee on one day last week,
but instead he went to Santa Cruz to at
tend the encampment of the League OF he
Cross Cadets, and since his return has
been dumb on all matters pertaining to
the paramount question.
Because of the uncertainty incident to
the delay business at the hall IS becoming
sadly demoraliZed. County Clerk Deane
does not know whether he is going to
have $4,000 or $4,000 per month with which
to run his office. and has already dis
charged q number of his force because he
is afraid he is going to be held down to
the lesser amount. Assessor Dodge is not
sure whether he will get 900 or $50 900.
and he has a little list of those who are
to get the ak in case he is handed the
short figure. The rest are in the same un-
certain state of mind, while panic reigns
among the deputies.
Because of his dilatory tactics in hand
ling the matter Mayor Phelan is coming
in for considerable censure. His absence
at Santa Cruz last week prevented the
regular meeting of the Finance Commit
tee. and there will be no report from that
body to-day. That there will not be is
likely to give rise to some unpleasant
questions on the part of several members,
and the Mayor may be called upon to
say when he will have time to meet with
that will prevent the board from straying
outside the dollar limit" Not much time
is left, and absolutely nothing has been
done on the budget.

assigned to the Seventeenth Infantry, is
a ''bang-up fighter according to his own
statement and he declares that in 'old

blackened. He was so drunk that he could
not tell his name, but Steward Muller

and so it was registered. DR.. Stephen had
to put several stitches in knife wound
over Dunphy's right eye and another
over his left eye.
Dunphy explained his condition by say

TICKET
COLUMBUS
Endorsed BY the Local Members of the
thing TO Ask For Themselves and
Will Insist on Fishers
Election.

When the members of Company G
of the local national guard met in their
armory in the Grand Friday night to
drill, they proceeded to ratify the nom
ination of officers for the Columbus
convention substantially as set up by
other companies. The boys are a unit
in the the matter of selecting officers
for the brigade, and there is another
office that they will have to look after
when the convention has met and
elected the brigade officers, and that is
the office of Junior major, for which
office the boys Of this city are working
hard to fill. Captain M. A. Fisher will
be the probable candidate of the mem
bers of the local company and possibly
some of the other companies when the
time comes for nomination to be held.
Senior Captain Marquis, Lee and Charl-
ton of the Eighth regiment, will also
be candidates for the nomination.
Marquis and Charlton are the captains
who made various matters unpleasant
for the members of the regiment at the
time of the election of regular officers
several months ago, and the boys still
seem to be little sore over that affair,
and say they will work for Fisher in
preference to voting for the other fell
lows. The election of Captain Fisher,
would bring the headquarters of the
battalion to this city, which means the
appointment of an adjutant, majo'
and a sergeant major, who also will
preside over the affairs of the bat
talon, from this city. 1t Is sta ed tl.t
the nominations may probably proceed
according to seniority, but the boys say
that they will send delegates to other
companies through the state and have
them work for Fisher for a nomination,
and his nomination is a sure prediction
of his election. One of the members of
Company G was seen Saturday morning
by News-Democrat reporter, and he
said
1.-THE whole matter in a nutshell is
this: The boys are a little sore over the
manner in which Marquis and Charlton
acted at the convention held at Akron
some months ago when regimental OH
GERS were nominated and they now in
tend to revenge themselves anC put up
a candidate from their home town. |
Captain Fisher, who is beloved by the
members of the company, ard who has
done all he could do for US at all times |
Is our logical candidate. We endorsed
the nominations made for the Column
bus convention when officers will be |
nominated by the officers of the regi-
ment and then elected and brigade
formed. We Will also |
press forward Captain Fisher for Jn-
nior Major as he is well fitted for that |
position. No doubt he would accept it,
he refuses to say so. We will |
send members to other companies and |
have them work for Fisher. and will do |
Ill we can for him."

Within the last TWO months Canton
people have been fleeced out of at least
5000, 900 by the actions Of one w. F. Mil
Ter, of New York city, who conducted
an alleged investment company. The
names of local investors line the receipt
books of the express company as well
as the banks and their names may be
said to'be legion.
A News-Democrat reporter called at
some of the express offices Saturday
morning to learn the amount of money
which has been sent out of this city the
past few months, and it was learned
that the amount reached into six fig
ures.
Said one of the express men: IT feel
sorry for the people who sent their
money away to this fellow. A poor
woman came into my Office with 5000

1t in a loan company and she insisted
that at least $100 be sent to Miller.
had to do my duty and send 1t, so I
took the money and sent it away. The
next day the woman called and stated
that her sister wanted to send $1O0 and
that also went away. She said she was
a seamstress and was poor and thought
there was a fortune in the investment.
Other parties came to me and I ad-
vised them in many cases where they
asked my advice, to keep their money
