BENEFIT FOR ST. MARY'S
COLLEGE Is BIG SUCCESS
Alumni Association of the Educational
Institution Gives Entertainment
TO Raise Funds.

st. Mary's College was the bene-
ficiary last night at an entertainment
of great merit given at the Alhambra

Alumni Association of the college. The
funds derived from the entertainment
are to be devoted to the purchase of
a modern equipment for the labora-
tories of that institution.
Under the management of Harry
James, who acted as stage manager,
the programme went off with great
vim and snap. Kolb and Dill and
Barney Bernard were naturally the
great merry makers of the occasion.

style "Hosanna" and Danny Deever.' -

PURCHASERS OF OIL LANDS
SAY THEY WE'RE SWINDLED
Sue Henry j. Blood for Return of
Money Alleged to Have Been
Obtained Through Deceit

Henry j. Blood, president of the
ant in a suit filed yesterday by John
c. Hampton, vice president of the Pa
cific Lumber Company; w. l.. B. Mills.
secretary of that company; w. S.
Gage, Ida H. Mauvais and Grace A.
Tyson, in which charges of a sensa-
tionaI nature are made. 1t is suit
to recover $4,000 the plaintiffs allege
Blood swindled them out of in a deal
in oil lands in Kern County.
According to the complaint the
plaintiffs purchased the land in 1900
upon Blood's representation that it
was a valuable piece of realty. The
consideration was $1,000. and that
sum was paid to ]. j. Mack of Ba-
kersfield, the reputed owner of the
land. For his share in the transac-
ton Blood was given one-sixth in
terest in the land with the privilege
of paying for it at a future date.
Last December a demand for the
price of the one-sixth interest was
made upon Blood, but he denied ever
having agreed to pay anything. His re-
fusal started investigation, with the
result, the plaintiffs say, that they
discovered that Mack never was the
owner of the property, but was simply
an agent for j. NJ. Keith and c. 5.
Young.
The last named, it is alleged, had an
option on the land, which he trans
ferred for $500 to Blood. and the lat
ter, by keeping the plaintiffs in ignor-
ance of this fact, prevailed upon them
to pay $1,000 for the land.

COMES TO TALK
WITH CHAPMAN
David Young. Representing
Brown Bros. Is Here to
Look After Their Interests

David Young of Newark. n. j., rep
resentative Of Brown Bros. of New
York who financiered the United Rail-
roads in its purchase of the local street
railway interests. arrived from the East
Yesterday and is at the Palace Hotel.
The presence of Mr.. Young in San
Francisco at this particular time is
regarded as significant, in view of the
threatened strike of the carmen. In
his official capacity he is the adviser
Of the New York. banking firm in all
matters pertaining 10 the physical con-
dition of the various interests which
they control or in which they
have important holdings. Dur
ing the last trouble between
the United Railroads and its men Mr..
Young was a visitor in San Francisco
and participated in the conferences of
the management Ct the big corporation
following each days meeting between
its representatives and those from the
Carmen's Union. 1t is understood
among the employees in the offices of
the railway company that Young's sud
den arrival is in connection with the
new troubles. and this theory is borne
out by the fact that he was in con-
ference with General Manager Chap
man and the latter's assistant for more
than an hour after his arrival in the
city yesterday. Concerning the trou-
bles between the company and its men
he had little to say, except that he
hoped they would be amicably settled.
He also remarked that he was sur
prised that the men had made move
in the direction of trouble before the
expiration of the present agreement.
The representatives of the Carmen's
Union and the manager of the United
Railroads did not meet yesterday, and
neither side would make any state
ment, except that there had been no
developments. The conference will be
resumed to-day.
From good sources it was learned
yesterday afternoon that the manage
ment Of the Union-street road has be-
come satisfied that its men are pre-
pared to strike If the men employed
by the United Railroads decide to go
out, and in anticipation Of this move
the company has followed the example
Of the United Railroads in laying in
provisions and other stores at its car
barns, which would suggest that the
company will oppose the demands OF
its employees.

scientific branches, such as chemistry
and bacteriology, will be given in

ment has been conducted on its own
resources. Hereafter it will share with
other departments in the general ap-
portionment of university money.
Regent Reinstein wanted the report

sponded to by Regents Britton, Yorke,
