Matthew Addy & Co.'S report or the Iron market shows healthy situation. Ihat firm says:
 Day by day there is steady and resu- lar buying, with some of the very large melters asking for heavy tonnages. mere is no wild, feverish excitement In the market. but it is evident as the season de- velopes that trade is getting on broader and broader lines. There are tooay no snecialties. The steel-making irons are not leading the procession, nor Is all the interest in foundry pig. On the contrary every kind of iron is coming in for It's due share of attention, and trade IS so well scattered that all the furnaces are having a fair share.
 "one of the distinguishing features of the situation Is the demand that consum- CTS are making for prices for delivery over the last half of the year. It Is little early for any great wholesale pur- chasing for forward shipment, as that usually takes place in May But unless all signs fail this year there will be a buying movement sooner than is custom arv. Already some considerable contracts for the last half have been let, and at the nresent time others are in process of ne- gotiation.
 "As A sign of the rapidly Improving times it is to be noted that several con- cerns that thought they had bought all the iron they would use during the first part of the year are in the market for more for early delivery

BABY GRAND PIANO AND
GRAPHoPHoNE ON EXHIBITION

There has been no cessation in the
interest manifested in the handsome
instruments which The Herald has Sc
cured from the Fitzgerald Music com
pany to be given away as prizes In
the $4,000 voting contest.
One of the most magnificent instru-
ments ever manufactured Is the Hen
ry and S. G. Lindeman baby grand,
which Is one of the prizes mentioned
above. The Lindeman family has been
building nothing but the best pianos
for over eighty-eight years. And the
baby grand which the Herald is Of
fering as prize is one of the hand
soonest instruments ever turned out
by this world famous factory. 1t Is one
of the handsomest pianos among the
many magnificent instruments shown
in the stock of the Fitzgerald Music
company and is guaranteed by this
reliable firm to be perfect in every
respect In tone, action, finish and
general construction 1t Is all that could
be desired of first-class plano.
Almost of equal interest with tne
baby grand piano Is the splendid
graphophone which The Herald is also
offering as a prize in this contest. In
general appearance and finish it is per-
fect-in fact, it is in every way an
ideal instrument. 1t is built or the
finest San Domingo mahogany, hand
rubbed and brilliantly polished, and is
marked by simplicity of construction,
which, after all. is the aim in higher
mechanics. There Is nothing about II
to get out of order.
This graphophone, as we'll as the
baby grand piano, was selected from
the stock of the Fitzgerald Music com
pany and may be inspected at any
time at 52S South Broadway.

SEVERAL SHOTS FIRED
AMONG BREWERY CROWD

Investigation by the police revealed
the fact that what was thought to be
an attempt to kill one of the many
striking brewers who gathered about
the Mathie Brewing company's plant
last night was the accidental discharge
of revolver. No person was injured
and Deputy Constable e. c. Lock
ridge convinced Captain Lehnhausen of
the East Side police station that his
revolver fell from his holster and was
discharged when the firing pin struck
the ground.
All night there were signs of trouble
about the brewery at 1885 North Main
street and six deputy constables were
sent to the scene. Some one of the
strikers or their sympathizers hurled
a rock at the constables, and Lock
ridge, according to his story, started
in pursuit AS he ran his revolver fell
to the ground, the bullet Whistling
over the heads of the crowd.
Patrolman Barr was attracted by
the shot and took Lockridge to the
East Side station. He was released
after telling his story. Three other
shots are said to have been fired dur
ing the night, as a result of which six
additional deputy constables We're sent
to the brewery to relieve the day po-
lice and remain on duty all night.

MAY DROP TWO CLUBS
AND REDUCE SCHEDULE
State League Directors Favor
Abandoning San Francisco
and Sacramento

STOCKTON, June 1.-At 1890 o'clock
this morning the owners and directors
of five clubs in the California State
league were still in session discussing
the reorganization of that body. While
it appears some favored dropping Sac
ramento and San Francisco, no final
action had been taken.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that Oakland, San Jose, Stockton and
Fresno will be the new league and
three games will be played each week
--one Saturday afternoon and one
morning and one afternoon on Sunday.
1t was suggested the Sacramento team
be transferred, but no one has come
forward with the backing.
President Herman of San Francisco
represented Fresno; Browne Willis,
San Jose; Cy Morelng. Oakland; J. Cal
Ewing, San Francisco, and Messrs.

NEVER AGA|Nr WILL
SCHEDULE Be So HIGH
What's Done Now Means Much
in the Lineup of Big
Winners

The announcement yesterday that
the vote schedule holding good now in
The Herald's $4,000 voting contest was
read with avidity by candidates and
their friends.
The contest has now reached a point
where the all important thing is votes.
Votes are what must win for a candi-
date-the only thing that can win for
candidate. When the contest is
closed judges will count votes and upon
that count depends who will win and
who will not.
And now is the time that votes are
given most generously-that every sub
scription, every sale of the great little
classified advertising coupon books,
means more votes than ever again.
This means that candidates who are
determined to win and ready to back
up that determination with action must
DO IT NOW.

as you can make it. Make success Ger
PLENTY FOR ALL


And remember this, the $4,000 home
is only one of the many prizes of gen.
erous value. A big gray beauty, like
the Knox tourabout, or the double trip
to the Orient-through China and ia
pan--or the $3.50 Lindemann grand pi-
ano or the $500. mahogany dining room
set or the $500 bank account or one
of the double trips to Alaska or Hon
olulu, or any other prize is surely a
rich reward for a few days hustling'
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL
THE ONE THING to do now is to
hustle-do your very best and keep
a-going. Special prizes in the past
have gone for ridiculously small totals
and history repeats itself. No matter
who you are or where you are, you
should do what you can as early as you
can, because one hours effort may put
you among the high winners. Why
not try? There's all to gain and moth
ing to lose.
Think it over, but think quickly, be-
cause June is approaching rapidly
and after that date it will be more
difficult to reach high totals with the
same amount of energy it does now.
Right now the vote schedule Is higher

Gates from classified books turned in at

date 500 extra votes on every dollar
in the amounts covering such clubs.
For instance, ten new yearly subscrip-

cent awards should stop to realize that

resented by the total now leading for
the $5S00 home, with still smaller totals
leading up to the other prizes. In
many Instances two or three clubs will
suffice to put a brand new candidate in
the lead for a splendid grand prize
and the very smallest grand prize is
double trip to Mexico City and re-
turn.
"But I haven't a vote to my credit"
you say? In the name of all that's rea-
sonable, do you think that handicap?
How can it be a handicap when 1t
means that you haven't seen your
friends, that you haven't touched the
field which bears such a harvest of
votes for you? The very fact that you
haven't started should be the very
biggest inducement for your starting
now.
