NEW YORK AQUARIUM is
MOST POPULAR RESORT
Nearly Four Million Persons
Enter Museum in Year

1t is proposed to build new aqua
rum in Battery park, New York, the
present building being entirely made
quate both in size and equipment The
aquarium is the most popular museum
in the world. Last year it was Wis
tied by 100000 persons At the Lon
don zoo. the next most popular resort
of the kind, the visitors number less
than 100000 a year. says the New
Haven Palladium. The aquarium has
room for only 100 tanks and can ac-
commodate only 200 species of fish. 1t
should have accommodations for almost
twice as many varieties. The aqua
rum, as part of its educational work
supplies small aquaria to the public
schools. There are now over $50 of
these small aquaria scattered among the
schools of New Nork 1t is remarkable
that 100000 more persons should visit
the aquarium in a year than entered
the gates of the great London zoo. It
shows that over on this continent we
have great interest in natural history,
which speaks well for the educational
advancement OF the people.

SHORTAGE OF eggs
FELT IN ENGLAND
Poultry Society Sends Mission
ary Train Into Rural Districts
to Aid Producers

Consul General John L. Grifiths
writes as follows from London on the
movement to stimulate egg production
in England and Wales:
Much is now being said and done in
England toward a revival of interest
in agriculture. There is growing con-
viction that Great Britain must raise
that agriculture has been too much
neglected and that not only should the
area under cultivation be greatly in
creased, but that the farmer should be
taught what to raise and how it should
be raised to secure the largest profit.
A significant development is that in
March or April of this year a mission
airy egg train will be dispatched
through western England and Wales,
where it is stated the egg industry is
at a low ebb. The United Kingdom now
imports nearly one-half the eggs con-
sumed, the imports in 1907 aggregat-
ing in value s34,72O.200, while the value
of eggs raised in Ireland amounted to
,592, and in England, Wales and
Scotland, $26.765,75O. The imports in
1903 were $35, ,210,6O0 In value.
AElSSON ftOh
The suggestion of the egg train
doubtless came from America and has
been adopted by the National poultry
organization society of Great Britain.
Through government aid and the gen
erosity of railway company, which is
placing a train at a greatly reduced
rate at the disposal of the society, it
is thought the undertaking will be
successful.
The train will be accompanied by a
number of experts, who will endeavor
to bring the rural communities to re-
alize the financial advantages to be
derived in devotilg more attention to
chicken and egg production. 1t is not
believed that England can produce
enough eggs to supply the local de-
mand. but it is thought that instead of
furnishing less than SO per cent Of that
demand, as at present. it might be in
creased to so or IS per cent.
In order to encourage poultry owners
to market eggs as soon as possible after
they have been laid the National poul-
try organization society has established
cooperative depots, now 20 in num-
ber in various sections of England.
The first depot was established in 1904.
Cash is paid for the eggs delivered to
the local depot. Village eggs have been
usually sold once week, thus coming
eggs, and have sold at a lower price.
PRICES ARE INCREASED
Where the cooperative depots are
established the eggs are gathered
promptly and are stamped and graded
and forwarded without delay to large
towns and cities. The number of these
depots will doubtless be greatly multi
piled. The enormous number of 1,5O0,-
600 eggs were sold at one depot in
1909. The farmers in this locality, and
this is true generally throughout Eng
land. received about 25 per cent more
for their eggs than had been previously
paid by local buyers.
Eggs have been plentiful on the Eng
lish market until recently, when there
was slight reduction in imports. Best
selected Danish eggs sold February 18
for s2.37 per long hundred Of 12O; best
selected Italian eggs, s2.25; Russian
cold stored eggs, sL5s; English eggs,
S2.92 to S3.16.

LECTURE DELIVERED
ON CARDINAL NEWMAN
Rev. O'Neill Gives Word Por.
trait of Great Churchman

An organization of Catholic women
met yesterday afternoon at 507 Oak
street to hear a lecture on Cardinal
Newman delivered by Rev. Thomas Ian
dry ONeill of Newman hall, Berkeley.
He gave a vivid word portrait of the
great churchman: told of his early
years and school life; of his entering
Trinity college, Oxford; his laborious
mental application; his part in the
Aglican church and in the Oxford move
ment; his loss of life long friends when
he took the step that led to Rome and
of a life that did not require the mel
lowing of years to have its greatness
recognized.
On the platform besides the lecturer
were Rev. Jerome B. Hannigan, repre-
senting Bishop D. O'Conne1l, who was
unavoidably absent; the president of
the club, Miss Julia Coffey, and Miss
Cleary, who acted as secretary.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
ADOPTED AT LOS ANGELES

the United States senators by the
people.
We favor the revision of the rules
of the national house of represen-
tatives so that the control of that
branch of the legislature shall be
taken from a small coterie of rep
resentatives of the interests and re-
stored to the representatives of the
people.
We condemn the unequal and un-
just tariff law passed by a repub-
lican congress and signed by re-
publican president. in violation of
the platform pledges of that party.
and favor the repeal of the same
and the enactment of a tariff law
by which all tariffs on manufactured
articles shall be reduced to rates
not exceeding the difference in the
cost of production between this
country and foreign countries.
We favor the eight hour law and
the child labor law as indorsed by
the American federation of labor.
We favor the exclusion of all
Asiatic coolie labor.
We favor for all judicial offices a
nonpartisan column on the official
ballot.
Resolved, that it be the sense of
this conference, in the event of an
other state conference being called
by the state central committee any
time between now and the close OF
the campaign, that the said confer
ence be held in the city of Stockton,
whose people cordially invite the
democratic party to partake of their
hospitality.
Resolved, that the state central
committee be requested to circulate
the petitions of all democratic can
didate for state Offices, if desired by
such candidates to do so, provided
that each candidate pay to said COM
mittee a sum sufficient to cover the
expense of so doing, and provided.
further, that such candidate shall
first indorse the declaration of prin-
ciple adopted by this conference and
pledge himself. If elected, to faith
fully carry out its principles; and
that no Endorsement by made by the
conference.

McCarthy's Def Accepted

The ball was opened by Ralph Nc
Leean. of San Francisco, who intro
duced a resolution commencing the
democracy of San Francisco and "es-
pecially" Theodore A. Bell, for the
fight for clean government in the last
municipal campaign.
Norton of Los Angeles opposed the
resolution on the ground that it was
an Endorsement of a candidate contrary
to the formally announced principles
of the conference. He offered to amend
the resolution by including for COM
mendation the names of James D. Phe-
Ian, sydney Van Wyck. Louis Mooser,
Justus Wardell, Ralph Mclean and
other San Francisco democrats.
With the exception of Van Wyck the
San Francisco members present
promptly demurred to any formal rec
ognition of their services to the party.
Van Wyck said he was opposed to in
dorsements, but if any were to be given
he believed he was entitled to the best
in the shop.
George Tracy opposed the resolution
as a friend of Bell Tracy and Tim
Reardon insisted that the Endorsement
would be misconStrued as an attack on
labor and would handicap rather than
assist Bell.
Mccarthy" said Tracy, has deliv-
cred the union labor party's political
organization to the republican ma
chine. He had not delivered the rank
and file of organized labor, nor can he.
Let us do nothing that can be miscon-
strued as an attack on organized labor
itself or that will help Mccarthy fight
Bell" The debate waXed fast and at
times furious an hour before Bell was
asked to come before the committee

San Franciscans Aroused

The fireworks started before the con-
ference convened this morning. Chair
man Gibbons newspaper threw the San
Francisco regulars into a fine frenzy
by describing them as a small coterie
of old push democrats opposed to good
government and broadly intimating
that they took their orders from w. f.
Herrin
Sydney Van Wyck, head of the San
Francisco delegation, went right over
to the conference to deny the allega-
tion, defend the character of the San
Francisco organization and demand
satisfaction, explanations and other
things.
Van Wyck told the conference that
he was panied. shocked and otherwise
ruffied to read such scurrilous matter
in the paper managed by the chairman
of the conference. He told how he,
Louis Mooser, Justus Wardell and the
other members of the delegation had
always fought for good government.
He declared that the San Francisco
organization had proved its worth by
its works. He said the San Francisco
delegation had nominated ]. Mcguire
and Franklin K. Lane for governor,
made James D. Phelan mayor, Wash
ington Dodge assessor and given San
Francisco the best supervisors it had
ever had.
Compliance with his demand for sat
isfaction was postponed until late this
afternoon. Then Gibbon came to the
front by stating that he was delighted
to accept Van Wyck's certificate of
good character for himself and fellow
delegates, but the article in his paper
was occasioned by the fact that they
had sanctioned a threat to leave the
conference made In manner more Of
fensively insulting than Chris Buckley
had ever dared to employ.
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-14

Resolved, that while we recognize
the fact that under the new primary
law the platform of our party in
this state must be prepared by a
body to be hereafter named, we. as
a body of democrats, earnestly de-
sirouS of the welfare Of the party
and che success of its\ principles,
hereby affirm our approval of the
declaration of principles adopted by
the San Francisco conference of last
jackson day. and recommend it to
the next regular state convention for
its consideration, as follows:
We hold that the emancipation of
California from Southern Pacific rule
overshadows every public question.
Every reform in legislative, execu-
tive or judicial branches must await
the restoration of good government
in California.
When the people are once more in
possession of their political rights
they will be in a position to take up
public demands along the following
lines:
Observation-Disclosures in public ex-
penditures.
Second-Equal and uniform taxa
tion.
Third-Securing to municipalities,
counties and the state the initiative,
the referendum and recall. whose
splendid practical operation has been
so clearly demonstrated In the city
of Los Angeles.
Fourth-A more efficient control
of railway transportation companies
looking to the prevention of excess
sive rates. unfair discrimination and
other violations of the duties OF
common carriers. and to the fair
assessment and taxation of their
properties.
Fifth--A more liberal provision
for the support and extension of
our school system, for the purpose
of taking advantage OF the better
methods that modern thought and
experience suggest.
SiXth-The betterment of public
highways, both land and water, to
meet the growing needs of the
people.

Gibbon Makes Reply

"As for Lane" said Gibbon, 'he dem
ocrats of Los Angeles can not forget
that he so far failed to get his natural
vote in San Francisco that we had to
say he was slaughtered in the house of
his friends. Four years ago Bell was
butchered in San Francisco. We come
to feel that we could not rely with
confidence the democracy of San
Francisco. The presence of such men
hoped was an earnest desire on the
part of the democratic party of San
Francisco to redeem itself. Last night
they threatened to leave the confer
ence If we did not agree with them.
Chris Buckley never dared give de-
mocracy such an insulting slap"
To complete Van Wycks measure of
satisfaction David I. Mahony of the San
Francisco democratic club told the con-
ference taht the organization had moth
ing to do with the selection of Phelan.
that it had transformed democratic
majority of $4,000 into a minority of
$4,000 and that it had knitted Francis J.
Heney through organization workers,
who, Mahony said, wore Leland but
tons and passed Fickert tickets.
In spite of the pickering and inev-
liable washing of San Francisco dirty
linen. the conference is considered a
great success by the Bell men. who
were overwhelmingly in the majority.

dates. 1t gave expression to democ-
racys campaign principles and IT dem
onstrated that the representatives of

All of One Accord

T. E. Gibbon declared that he would
not belong to a party that would COM
promise with or condone McCarthy's
condemnation of one chosen as leader
by that party.
IF the governorship is to be bought
by grovelling to p. II. Mccarthy and
what he represents we do not want it,
declared Secretary Duncan. The best
thing that could happen to Bell would
be the opposition of Mccarthy and his
tenderloin."
The original resolutions contained no
direct reference to Mccarthy. The offer
of substitute the preamble of which
was introduced with McCarthy's name
acted like magic on the warning COM
mitteemen. 1t was adopted with a
whoop, only George Tracy insisting that
he be recorded as voting against what
he considered political mistake.
Here is the substitute adopted by the
committee and by the conference. with
only one dissenting voice:
Whereas, P. II. Mccarthy. at a
recent convention of representa-
tives of the state building trades
council, procured the denunciation
of Theodore A. Bell as an enemy of
organized labor, and for no better
reason than Mr.. Bell.~as demo-
crat, gave courageous and ear

recital of his connection with the San

dragging labor down. ] am and have
always been friend of organized labor.
l believe organized labor has it's true
functions and that beyond those it shall
not go. l take my labor doctrines from
such men as John Mitchell, Andrew
Furuseth and Walter Macarthur. 1
fought Mccarthy with all my vigor.
No man of that tye can be raised to ex-
alted position except through the moral
cowardice of men who know he is not
right, but who for business or other
reasons dare not speak.
IF that fight were to be made tomor-
row l would go down the line just the
same. If refusal to make that fight
meant the governorship, you could take
your honors elsewhere. San Francisco
has been made by Mccarthy a hundred
fold worse than we imagined it could
be. He has made it almost a. great den
of vice. 1t is a matter of Indifference
to me- You may adopt these resolu-
tions or say no more about the subject.

where l stand and that have no apollo
