Grand ParIor Delegates.

At no time in the history of the Ma
tive Sons of the Golden West has there
been so much interest taken in the
selection of delegates to a Grand Par
lor as there is this year. And all this
because there is to be an election this
year for a grand secretary. The can
didates are c. II. Turner the incum-
bent; George II. ]. Dryden and Fred
II. Jung, with possibly one or two
more, who are being held in reserve
1t is the talk of the order in this city
that when Dryden goes to Vallejo to
enter the contest he will be accom-
panied by Abe Ruef, who will man
age his fight for him.
Stanford Parlor has elected as its
delegates William d. Hynes, Thomas
e. Hickey, John Van Nostrand and
Fred H. Jung, with Jay T. Nash, r. H.
Schlueter. Charles d. Steiger and A.
f. Schleicher as alternates.
Precita Parlor has elected P. ].
Curtis, j. M. Hanley and j. M. Hickey
as delegates and L. H. @. P. Myer, L. s.
Earles and A. Wormser alternates.
In South San Francisco Parlor there
were five candidates for the three po-
sitions to be filled and the contest was
a very exciting one, not being closed
until nearly midnight. The following
named were elected: P. +. Stumpf, M.
H. Squires and B. Lagrave.

DEATH CAUSES
MUCH COMMENT
Tragic End of Major Bean
Topic of Conversation in
Club and Army Circles

The tragic death Of Major William H.
Bean at Omaha on Wednesday has
caused a sensation in army and society
circles here, where he was we'll known
and highly esteemed. No possible rea-
son for his act can be ascribed. A sud
by i'll health is the only possible solu-
ton. Major Bean was in the class of
SO at West Point, and leaving there
went into the Second Cavalry, which
was then stationed at the Presidio. He
at once took a prominent position at
the post and became a shining light in
social affairs. He was fond of club life
and spent much of his leisure time in
the Pacific Union Club, of which he
was a member. He was a bright, dash
ing, intellectual and brilliant officer.
He took a great interest in all
public questions and national af-
fairs. He interested himself to
a large extent in the Balboa boulevard
scheme. In 1889 he was ordered to Har-
risburg, Pa, where he was at once 'ap-
pointed to the Governors staff. When
the Johnstown flood occurred he was
sent to that place in charge of troops
to assist the sufferers. In 1900 he went
to the Philippines, being then in the
subsistence department. He remained
there two years, and on his return spent
some time in San Francisco renewing
old acquaintances. At the time of his
death he was chief commissary of the
Department of the Missouri, with head
quarters at Omaha. A few years ago
he married one of the bellies of Phila-
delphia. and the marriage is reported
to have been happy in every way. He
was the son of Colonel Bean. who was
on the staff of General Merritt during
the Civil War and who. like his son,
took his own life several years ago.
The Philippine scouts are attracting a
great deal of attention at the Preside.
Although there was no drill yesterday
the camp on the hill where they are
stationed was visited by large num-
ber of town people. who evinced great
interest in the doings of the little brown
strangers. What strikes the onlooker
forcibly is the uniformity of size and
the great similarity in complexion. The
band came in for great deal of praise.
and while they only succeeded in rem
dering a small portion of their pro-
gramme, owing to the storm which
suddenly broke in upon them, when
they didNplay they brought out unlim-
tied enthusiasm from the listeners.
They will drill Monday on the parade
grounds in front of the general hos
pital between 3 and 4 o'clock. and at 5
o'clock they will give dress parade. and
the band will play during the cere-
mony.
The War Department has appointed
the following board to meet at the Pre-
sidio for the examination of officers to
determine their fitness for promotion:

Bigelow Jr., Captain John T. Nance,

life SENTENCE
FOR LABROUSSE
Slayer of Miss Marie Jor-
dan Makes His Final Ap-
pearance Before Public
RESIGNED TO HIS FATE
Request That He Be Sent
to San Quentin for Moth
er's Sake Complied With

Sentence of Imprisonment for the
term of his natural life was passed
upon Edmond de Labrousse by Judge
Dunno yesterday for the murder of
Miss Marie Jordan in front of her
mothers residence on Sacramento
street, near Hyde, on September 20,
1903. While sentence was being pass
ed upon him the prisoner stood in the
dock with bowed head and seemed
/ thoroughly resigned to his fate.
When the case was called and the
prisoner was asked If he had any
thing to say why sentence should not
be passed upon him Attorney Afford
replied that there was no legal cause
at that time to show why the judg-
ment of the court should not be pro-
make. On behalf of the prisoners
mother and sisters he would ask that
he be sent to San Quentin instead of
Folsom, so that they would have the
opportunity of visiting him from time
to time.
The Judge complied with the re-
quest in passing sentence. Attorney
Roche then asked for stay of TWEEN
ty days. He said the prisoners moth
er had met with serious accident on
the day the verdict was rendered
against him and the stay was asked
so that she might be able to see him
before he was sent to San Quentin.
The Judge granted the stay.
The crime for which the prisoner
was sentenced was a cold -blooded
murder. He had been paying his ad-
dresses to Miss Jordan, but she had
asked him to stop calling upon her.
On the day of the murder he met her
as she was on her way home to lunch.
walked with her to her mothers res
idence, opened the gate for her and
deliberately shot her dead. Even as
she lay on the ground, after being
shot three times, he fired another bull
let into her body. Then he turned
the revolver on himself, inficting a Sc
rious wound. At the trial strong
effort was made to show that he was
temporarily insane at the time of the
shooting and the jury compromised by
convicting him of murder in the first
degree, with the penalty of imprison-
ment for life.

1t is rumored that many weddings will
be celebrated between now and the first

ment is Mr. Pattosien, corner Sixteenth
and Mission streets, who states that
ever so many young folks have been and
are daily buying Furniture. Carpets and
Draperies, and leave them at the store
until the first of May, when the store
closes.
Evidently the young folks take advan-
tage of the low prices. They seem to
know that the prices will double after
the first of May, when the Pattosien
