"THE MESSIAH" SUNG
AT PACIFIC GROVE
Auspicious Opening of the Twentieth
Session of the Coast
ChautauCua

PACIFIC GROVE, July S.-Never in the
history of the Chautauqua Society on this
coast has one of its annual assemblies
been begun under such favorable circum-
stances and with so notable an event as
marked the opening of the twentieth ses-
sion in Assembly Hall in this city to-
night Instead of the usual grand open
ing concert, the Chautauqua manager
brought the San Jose Oratorio Society
here and, together with other oratorio
singers and some of the best soloists of
the State, 1t gave a splendid performance
of Handel's ''The Messiah" James Ham
ilton Howe late of the Boston Conserva-
tory of Music, conducted the oratorio.
The soloists were Mrs. Mary Weaver Mac
Cauley of San Jose, soprano: Miss Beres-
ford Joy of Los Angeles, cOntralto; Frank
Coffin of the TivoH Opera Company San
Francisco, tenor; S. Homer Henley of
May Churchill. There were 125 voices in
the chorus.
For the next two days the assembly
programme will consist chiefly of music.
Tomorrow evening an oratorio praise ser
vice will, be given by the singers of to-
night and on Monday and Tuesday even
ings there will be concerts by prominent
San Francisco and San Jose musicians.
The opening sermon or the assembly
will be delivered at II a. m. tomorrow by
Rev. Dr. Thomas F'ilben, superintendent
of instruction of the Pacific Coast Chau-
tauqua, and on Monday and Tuesday
work will be opened. The regular ses-
sions of the assembly will begin on

JUDGMENT AGAINST
SMALL STOCKHOLDERS
Union Bank Depositors Score Their
First Victory in the
Courts

SAN JOSE, July S.-Judgnent was
given against eighty stockholders of
the Union Savings Bank to-day by Jus
tice Wallace in the suit brought by C.
w. Childs and other depOsitors to re-
cover the pro rata liability of the for
mer The judgment was given for
S14 80 share, with interest at Z per
cent There are COS shares of stock rep
resented by the eighty defendants, who
were all small shareholders The judg-
ment was given with a reduction of 81
a share on portions of the accounts be-
cause of their having run the statute
of limitations The total amount of the
Judgment recovered is s672S 80.
-Four hundred depositOrs were repre-
sented in the suit, with accounts ag-
gregating $3.50, 900. The stockholders
sued held less than eighteen shares
each.
This is the first judgment against
stockholders of the Union Savings
Bank. There are two suits pending in
the Superior Court against the large
stockholders. An appeal probably will
be taken from the decision, but Attor-
ney Welch, who represents the deposit
ors. is confident of winning in the
higher court.
The stockholders are not paying the
SO assessment recently levied by the
directors and the banks attorneys will
begin suits for its collection in a few
days.

ANARCHY AND

Letters From Central America Which

Walks of Life.
PRESIDENT CABRERA PICTURED
AS A HUMAN FIEND.

From private advfces received in this
city last night from San Jose de Guate-
maIa it appears that that unfortunate
country is again in the throes of
internecine war, or something very much
resembling war. The mercantile con-
fdence of the community has been 50
shaken that business is practically at
standstill and exchange has reached the
enormous premium of 800 on United States
gold.
The cause for all this seems to be the
desire of the new President, Estrada Ca
brera, to cali in enough gold to redeem
the six millions of worthless paper cur
rency which he issued some time ago. The
methods he is pursuing to acquire this
immense sum are peculiarly those of the
average Central American President:
Picking out those of his countrymen OF
known wealth or great financial backing,
he proposes that they lend him a certain
sum on what he tells them is good Sc
curIty The penalty of refusal is death
or confiscation of their estates, the pen
atty being eXacted on some trumped up
charge or other.
Naturally such procedure is not con-
ducive to much confidence in the justice
of the government and only one result
can ensue-anarchy and general de1n0TauI1
zation of both social, business and onlclal
II the advices received last night are
correct this result seems to have already

I'bizo was started barefoot from Cheto

had left the first named town they re
turned and reported that their prisoner
had been shot while attempting to escape.
He was no doubt assassinated by Ca
brera's orders in the manner which mas
proved so popular with number OF other
Central American Presidents. These are
not the only deaths that have occurred by
a good many. In the Santa Rosa district
alone no fewer than siXty-nine executions

GetcheI went before the Board of Super

that the board advertise for bids. Dis

to proceed and fix the rate, which it did,
at 70 cents per name, also advising Tax
collector Wesson to place the printing at
his discretion. Wesson gave it to the
Citizen. Getchell carried the case to the
Supreme Court, but it couTd not be heard
in time to prevent publication. He was

some one. so a franchise was granted
TO the BeIvedere Land Company to do
pretty much as it pleased in any old
way or in any old matter.
Houses were built on the hillside,
families moved into them and all was
merry as d marriage bell. The only
thing lacking was water. The Land
Company came to the rescue, and, like
Moses of old, smote upon the rock until
a bright, limpid stream gushed forth.
Then the Land Company began to
lay pipes. It laid them on the hillsides
and in the valleys; 1t placed them on
the mountainous; it buried them un-
derneath the sands of the beach. 1t
not only attempted to supply private
families but extended its patronage to
laundries, power-houses and hotels as
well. The reservoir could not stand
the strain on its resources. 1t sank
lower and lower until, finally giving up
in despair. 1t went under altogether,
and on the night of July refused to be
worked for another drop.
This is the tale the residents tell.
Mr. John Coop, the superintendent, as
far as can be learned, ascribes the
cause Of the drought to a breakage in
the pumping machinery, which will IN
time be remedied.
w hateVer the cause the erect is
chaos.
The lights in the hotel, which are
supplied by gas generated by a water
power engine, took a night off and
went out. The guests went in and were
forced to grope their way about the
halls with the aid of wax candles,
tallow dips, lanterns, matches, fire
flies or anything that would make a
glimmer. Luckily, as many young men
were over there passing their Fourth
of July holiday, the girls were able to
provide themselves with sparks. by
whose aid they were enabled to COM
fortably penetrate into the darkest re-
cesses of the most crooked corridors.
The confusion of the night of July

when the morning of the Fourth
dawned.
All sorts of fireworks had been
stored up in preparation for the day,
but no one had the courage to set them
off. If the grass should catch fire,
where was the water with which to
extinguish the blaze? Some few Ven
turesome spirits suggested swimming
out to the center of Richardson's Bay
and holding the nights display there.
The idea however. was not generally
adopted The Fourth was a compara-
tive failure from a small boys point
of view 1t could not even be called
frst-class fiZzle. There was not enough
water In the town to make one.
Since the Fourth things have con-
tinued in the same way. No relief has
as yet appeared, and the residents
have been driven TO a point Of despera-
ton which verges on insanity. In some
the latter distressing taint is already
beginning to make itself strongly
manifest.
Indignation meetings are held on the
boat every night and morning. They
are general. Private and select meet
ings are held nightly in the various
homes and the language of the strong

CLERK LEROY MELR0Y
CAPTURED I'M CHICAGO
Confesses That He Stole the Dia-
monds of Mrs. Felt and Mrs.
Halo. and Will Be Returned

CHICAGO, July S.-Leroy McElroy
formerly clerk in the Rfchelieu Hotel at
San Francisco was arrested here to-day
on a charge of stealing $4,000 worth of dfa-
monds from Mrs. Felt and Mrs. Hale of
Boston, who were guests a the hotel. He
acknowledges his guilt and will be sent to
San Francisco for trial.
Mrs. Felt and Mrs. Hale, after their ar
rival in this city. rented apartments in
the Richelieu. In one of their trunks
were stored the precious gems. At the
invitation of one of their friends they took
a trip to the interior and on their re-
turn found that their trunks had been
broken open during their absence and
their diamonds stolen. They at once COM
municated with Chief Lees, who detailed
Detectives Dinan and Wren to arrest the
thief. The detectives visited the hotel,
and after a thorough investigation be-
came convinced that Clerk McElroy was
the culprit The latter, evidently fearing
arrest, suddenly left the city and was
finally traced to Chicago Shortly after
hts disappearance McElroy wrote to
relative in Oakland, asking him TO send
the box which had contained the dia-
monds to IL South park, Chicago. The
letter was turned over to Chief Lees, who
telegraphed to the police OF Chicago, in
structng them to keep a strict watch for
McElroy, with the result that he was ar
rested.

FRASER RIVER SALMON
PACK Is A FAILURE
Deplorable Condition Caused by the
Laws Barring American
Fishermen

VANCOUVER, July S.-With about the
largest salmon run that has ever been
known in the history of canning on the
Fraser River. this years pack is likely
TO be a failure. The fish are running in
thousands up the Fraser, yet the scarcity
of men is making it a practical impossi-
bility for the canneries to put up a pack
that will pay them.
A E. Tregent. prominent Gamer, said
to-day that there were $4,000 cases of
empty tins in some of the canneries. and
he would wager that not 10 900 would be
filled. Usually at this tine7 of year there
are thousands of boats on the river, but
the regula tions this year precluded Amer
leans from fishing. Tregent says that
Yesterday he went through all the fishing
community and only 300 boats were out.
OF these only two were manned by white
men, others being manned by japanese,
Italians and Indians.
mo one would argue the point he
said, "as to which are preferable, Amef:
