YOUNG TRIES TO
EXPLAIN PURCHASES
Directors and Members of the
Union League Club Hold
Quickly Called Meetings
Refuse to Discuss Action on
President Favoring Eastern
House for Supplies

Quickly called meetings of the di
rectors of the Union League club and
also of members of what has become
known as the anti De Young faction of
the organization followed yesterday on
the publication in The Call of l.. H.
McRoskey's attack on the clubs presi-
dent for his policy of nonsupport of
home industries. The action of Presi-
dent de Young in refusing to award a
local contract for clubhouse furnish
ings for the new quarters at Powell
and OFarrell streets has caused an
unprecedented stir in the organization.
So tense did the feeling develop yes
terday that De Young appeared before
the directors to explain his act in
passing up San Francisco business
houses for eastern firms. At the
meeting De Young admitted that he
gave the order for the building to an
eastern firm which has a branch house
here.
Directors admitted that session of
the board was held, but absolutely re-
fused to discuss the case, believing ret
icence to be the more clublike part.
There was present at the directors
meeting DR.. Louis B. Deane, William
ii. Jordan, George X. Vending and
Frank Marston, secretary of the club.
MEMBERS HOLD MEETING
While the directors were meeting
the large dining room of the club was
hlled with excited members discussing
the act of the president, whose term
of office expires in January. AS a re-
suit of the noon time discussions an
important meeting of members was
called for o'clock in the afternoon at
the Office of Attorney William II. Jor-
dan in the Monadnock building. There
OF fc
others Charles M. Plum, D. A. Hulse, a
member of the purchasing committee
with Jordan, who was acting president
OF the club during De Youngs alb
sence; Walter Brann, Purcell Rowe and
w. E. Joslyn. Together they went over
the entire list of club members and
gagged their attitude on what has be-
come the predominant issue before the
organization-the question of buying
supplies in San Francisco or in the east
or Europe. A vigorous movement to
further local purchases was decided
upon.
1t developed at the meeting that
while De Young was in the east a noti-
not purchase any more bric-a- brac out
of San Francisco.
WON'T AIR TROUBLES
D. III. Hulse, who was on the pur-
chasing committee, tacitedly admitted
that there is a serious discussion go
ing on in the club over the De Young
proposition. But we won't wash the
club linen in the newspapers" he de-
clared.
McRoskey was as firm yesterday as
formerly that he had not been treated
fairly by De Young in the buying of
supplies.

NOTORIOUS CONFIDENCE
MAN is ARRESTED
James Brown Poses as Clair
voyant and Is Said to Have
Done High Finance

James Brown, at one time one of the
most notorious and cleverest conf
dence men in the state. who now oper-
ates as ''St James, the world famous
clairvoyant and occulist," with Offices
at 1922 Market street, was arrested
yesterday by Detectives Freel and
Bunner on a warrant charging him
with petty larceny by trick and device.
At the station he gave his name as
James St. James and his occupation as
actor. The complaining witness against
him is F. Goedde of Eli Cough street
who says he went to Brown or ST.
James on October Il to consult the
spirits.
According to Goedde the spirits were
inclined to high finance on that date,
for he was told to invest his money in
the "Speegle horizontal current wheel
company" a concern which the police
believe exists only In the mazes of
Browns thinking apparatus. Goedde
says he gave up $1S.35 on October IA
and was told to call again in a week.
which he did He says he gave up SIS
on the second visit and has received
nothing of value in return.

Mr.. Bartnett was never connected with the

The facts are that J. Dalzell Brown personally
purchased large block Of stock in the Union
national bank. This done as a personal
investment and the only associates Mr.. Brown
had in purchasing this stock were people In
nowise connected with the California safe de-
posit and trust company The purchase was

EPPINGER HEIRS HEAL
RUPTURE OUT OF COURT
Son Is Appointed Executor of
Estate and Family Dis
pute Ends

The disagreeable family quarrel
which threatened for time to dis
rupt the Eppinger family was amicably
settled in Judge Seawells court yes
terday, all suits being withdrawn and
Herman Eppinger Jr., son, being ap-
pointed executor of the estate.
Herman Eppinger Jr. filed a petition
asking that he be given the custody
of the estate some months ago. He
was opposed by his sister, Mrs. Maud
g. Ferguson, who asked that she be
named in that capacity. The difference
was intensified by Herman Eppinger
fling another suit in which he accused
his sister of keeping 10 United railroad
bonds which, he maintained, ought to
be returned to the estate for division
among the heirs. Mrs. Ferguson re-
piled to this, saying the bonds had been
given to her by her mother Elizabeth
Eppinger. In the midst of the family
turmoil the attorneys for the respective
sides, Oliver Dibble and Joe Mayer,
succeeded in effecting an understandings 2
and an amicable settlement out of

petition and her brother Herman was

The Paragraph Pulpit
UNITARIAN
Religion and Reason

Religion and reason are not alien
and apart, but are most intimately re-
lated. Religion Is not a superstition
from the past, from whose tyranny
man has not yet been able to free him
self. And reason is not sin of the
present, whose increasing force threat
ems the verify and vitality of the re-
ligious life. Rather is the one simply
the avenue by which the other is dis
cerned and developed. When God made
US both religious and rational, it was
not that the influence of the one might
nullify the other, but that the reason
might disclose the deeper realities of
religion.

LOVE FEAST ENDS
CIVIL SERVICE ROW
Commissioners and Board of
Works Members PeaceabIy
Adjust Differences
Personal Politics" Is lntima=
tion Made, but Ignored by
the Board

The friction existing between the
civil service commissioners and the
members of the board of public works,
growing out of appointments of Ia
borers to fill various positions in the
works board, was practically ended at a
peace conference last night between
the members of both commissions and
the civil service committee of the
board of supervisors, which acted as
intermediary.
Intimations that personal politics
were the cause of much of the disagree
ment were passed about the super
visors' chambers, but they were ignored
by the civil service committee of the
board of supervisors.
The main controversy was whether
the board of works would be permitted
to employ cribbers, carpenters helpers,
windlassmen and rammers, and not take
them from the civil service list of Ia
borers. The civil service commissioners
insisted that the men referred to were
listed as laborers on their list and
that no special accomplishments were
necessary to be able to perform the
work.
After considerable wrangling an
agreement was finally drawn up. in
which the cribbers are to be taken
from the civil service list at the rate
of three each month; carpenters help
ers at the rate of four each month, and
the remainder of the laborers at the
rate of one-third of the present list
each month.
Arguments were made by the board
of work representatives that they
were agreeable to a substitution, but
that they wanted it to be made slowly
and not all at one time, as proposed by
Brady. Brady, who was sustained by
Commissioners Cornelius in his argu-
ment, claimed that the board of works
bad placed these noncivil service men
in their positions through changing the
title OF the position.

MUCH CHOCOLATE IS
CONSUMED EACH DAY
Many Find Health Improved by Eat
ing Small Amount of Sweets
DaiIy-New York Supplies
Old World Trade

Few persons have any idea of the
present enormous consumption of choc-
o1ate in the United States and the
amount of sugar incidentally consumed
with the chocolate.
1t is said more than 200 short tons OF
chocolate creams alone are consumed
in New York daily. Included in this
as considerable amount of the high
grades, some of which at retail reach
nearly d dollar a pound In price.
The value of chocolate is thought by
come to lie to a certain extent in its
nutritivs value, as well as in its pleas
ant flavor, and of the nutritive value
of sugar there is unquestioned knowl-
edge coming from every direction.
1t is stated that in New York, even
among the poorer classes, many a
meager luncheon is supplemented with
a few cents worth of chocolate, expert
ence Indicating to the consumers the
tudicious1.ess OF such investment.
The cheaper grades of these choco-
late corrections contain the largest
percentage of sugar, or sugar and GU
cose, and the higher grades the largest
percentage of chocolate.
1t is presumed 70 per cent of the
chocolate that is sold daily in New
York goes to other points, and In fact
New York ships chocolate to all parts
of the world, competing successfully
with the best work of the French con-
sectioners.
