LONG STANDING TROUBLE
Is FINALLY SETTLED

OAKLAND, May 17.-With the seating
of the delegates from the various carpen-
ters' unions Of Oakland in the Buuuing
Trades Council last night the long-exist-
ing trouble between the two organiza-
tionE. which dates back to the strike of
the local Millmen's Union several years
ago, is ended, and the two labor bodies
are once more working in harmony. The
settlement of the old difficulty affects
about 1900 carpenters, who will hereafter
be under the jurisdiction OF the Building
Trades Council.
This settlement will mean the strict en-
forcement of the use of the Building
Trades Council label on all buildings
erected by union men in Alameda County
after this date.
The delegates seated last night and the
unions represented by them are:

LIQUOR DEALERS MAY NOW
RENEW LICENSES BY MAIL
Police Commissioners Grant Reputable
Firms n Much Desired Concession
at Suggestion aofs Mayor.

Mayor SchmitZ attended the meeting
of the Police Commissioners last night
and at his suggestion a resolution was
passed that will accord liquor dealers
in good standing the privilege of send
ing in their quarterly applications for
licenses by mail, instead of making
them in person at the Office of the Ii
cense clerk at the Hall of Justice. The
resolution does not refer to places
against which complaint has, been made
or against which any question has been
raised.
The case of Patrolrnan Patrick B..
Mahoney, accused by Mrs. Annie Burns
of III Fifth avenue of having made an
assault upon her on the evening of
April 4, was finished and decision re-
served until next Friday evening. The
defense offered an abundance of testi-
mony detrimental to the character of
the complaining witness and there
seems to be a question in the minds of
the Commissioners as to whether the
policeman is not the victim of a con-
spiracy.
Before the meeting adjourned the
license of the Art saloon at 1410 Mar
ket street was returned on the promise
of the proprietor, Peter Mcclure, that
no machine displaying indecent pic
lures would henceforth be permitted on
the premises.

Odd Fellows Picnic.

The Odd Fellows of San Francisco
will hold their annual picnic at Camp
Taylor Saturday, May 90. The arrange

tary branch of the order, Canton San
Francisco No. S. Boats leave Sausalito
ferry at a. m. The members have
gone to considerable expense in pur-
chasing prizes to be given to winners
of several games of amusement and
the outlook from the sale of tickets
indicates that this will be one of the
srandest excursions and picnics ever
given by the order.
Canton San Francisco won the first
prize at Paso Robles in the competitive
drill two years ago and will soon com
mence to perfect itself in drilling
preparatory to entering the contest at
San Diego during the grand encamp-
ment of the order The team will be
selected in the near future by Drill

ASKS FIRE PROTECTION
FOR OCEANSIDE DISTRICT
Commission Petitions Supervisors to
Install Main to Connect With
Dutch Windmill,

The Fire Commissioners yesterday
petitioned the Board of Supervisors to
authorize the expenditure of $4,000 out
of the existing appropriation of $780,
01o0 set aside for an auxiliary water
supply system for the purpose of af-
fording fire protection for the large
and increasing Oceanside district. The
Commissioners have adopted the plan
proposed by Chief Sullivan to obtain
water from Golden Gate Park by means
of the Dutch windmill, the Park Com
missioners having also given their con-
sent to the project.
The communication on the subject
says that many Intellectual attempts
have been made to obtain the necessary
relief from the Spring Valley Water
Company, which claims that the ex-
pense of putting in hydrants would not
be warranted by the income received
therefor from the city. Sullivan's plan
is that an eight-inch main to be used
for fire purposes only be connected
with the ten-inch main at the Dutch
windmill, to be laid along the great
highway to P street. with hydrants at
the most necessary points Sullivan
says there are now more than 200
houses between Forty-fifth and Forty
ninth avenues and H and NJ streets and
under the present conditions a block
of, houses could be swept away in the
event of conf1agratlon occurring
there.

letter from Secretary Hay. in which
he paid a tribute TO General Porters
brilliant career, was read.
The speech of General Porter brought
out tremendous ovation, the entire as
semblage rising and cheering. General
Porter, speaking In English, said in part:
Eight years ago I was sent abroad. l
do not know exactly why, unless il was
IN consequence Of the proVerbial ambi-
ton Of our Government TO increase its
exports. Thinking that I could not make

the words Of another: I have thrown off
the robes of Office and have now no rank
but that of fellowship, no title but that
of comrade.'
Whatever measure of success has been
attained is largely attributable 10 the
able direction and effective policy of our
home administration and the full support
and confidence ii has invariably given its
representatives. 1t is some satisfaction to
feel that all the affairs intrusted TO the
embassy have been completed and that
there remains no unfinished business"
After referring in eulogistic terms to
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs, General
Porter said:
when the diplomatic history of this
epoch shall be written two names will
shine forth more brilliantly than all those
who have contributed TO make it-those
Of Theophile Delcasse and of John Hay"
Watterson made a characteristic speech,
which, after glowing tribute to General
Porter, took up the achievements Of Paul
Jones. His closing words hurting back
the taunts of the British press that Jones
was q pirate, aroused great enthusiasm.

Watterson. which first lOosened the flag

BACK TO SLAVE LIFE
Court Is Compelled to Release Her, as
She Established the Fact That
She Is of Are.

BY a decree of the court All Tai a
Chinese girl. Is years of age. was given
yesterday into the custody of Yon
Fong, a Chinese, from whom she was
taken by the officers of the Oriental
Home of the Methodist Episcopal church
at 912 Washington street. 1t was claim
ed by the mother of the girl that Yon
Fong had betrayed her and that al
though he was a married man he was
using the child as a slave.
. Shortly after All Tai entered the
Oriental Home she gave birth to baby
and 1t was the wish of her mother that
she be kept away from the influences
which had resulted in her downfall.
Yon Fong sued out writ of habeas
corpus and yesterday it. was heard by
Judge Hebbard. All Tai took the stand
and swore that she was 1S years of age
and other proof establishing her con-
tention that she had attained her ma
jority was presented. The result was
that Judge Hebbard, though he said he
regretted it was incumbent upon him,
ordered the officers of the home to re-
lease the girl and let her go where she
would
So Yon Fong, delighted over his vic
tory, took the girl and led her away.

THINKS BONDS
WILL BE SOLD

City Attorney Long is Of the opinion
that the law signed by Governor Hig-
gins Of New York permitting the sale
OF municipal bonds issued by San Fran
cisco to New York banks will result
in the sale Of a large block of the bonds
remaining unsold. When the bonds
were first put on the market last year
the leading bankers of New York in
formed the Board Of Supervisors that
they would purchase large amounts of
the bonds If the law would permit them
TO do so. When Long was in New York
last February he had the law placing
San Francisco bonds on par with those
Of favored cities introduced at Albany.
The law was passed and signed by
Higgins.
THE total issue of bonds was sl7.-
77z.00O, OF which S4,673.eOO have been
sold" said Clerk Fay of the Board of
Supervisors. The bonds remaining un-
sold are long term bonds running from
ten 70 forty years. and are considered
valuable as an investment, paving 3h
per cent free of taxes None Of these
have been sold IS yet, as the city is not
prepared to use the money to be real
ized from their sale. The indications
are that but few Of them will be placed
on the market during the next fiscal
year. as IL IS not intended to paw inter-
est for the money until it is actually
required"
