At Scheer's Cafe last night there was
gathering of congenial spirits closely
connected by the ties of good fellow
ship, gentlemen allied in the steady pro-
gress of the institution in which they
have a personal as we'll as direct inter

recently in published report aggregat-
ed $I,725, 10000.
The day for the celebration was we'll
chosen. The Eighth of January is as
sociated with Andrew Jackson, who
was staunch friend of honest banks
and banking The name Continental"
is also historic. 1t stands for glorious
achievements over which all Americans
can exult patriotical1y.
The supper was most enjoyable, as
were the sentiments expressed by the
gentlemen called fer responses to pro-
gramme outlined for the speakers.

HAVE CAUSE FOR ACTION.

There was filed recently by three citi-
zens of Shreveport a proceeding hav-
ing for its purpose the restraining OF
the School Board and the Police jury
from offering and paying rewards for
the arrest and conviction of men sell
ing intoxicants in Caddo parish.
On the plea presented Judge Murff
has decided that the plaintiffs have dis
closed cause for action, but this is nc
assurance that their pleading will pre-
vail. s..
The case must now be tried on its
merits when the plaintiffs must prove
that the Police Jury is without au-
thority.
AS already stated, it will be surpris-
ing if the plaintiffs should sustain their
plea, which will be met with a decree
of the Supreme Court, in the case OF
Carnes from Red River, in which the
authority of the Police Jury of that
parish was sustained.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs are

MAYOR DICKSON susTAINED.

MAYOR DuCkSON SUSI AIMED.
At the courts sitting yesterday morn
ing Judge Murff, in an interesting opin-
ion, sustained the action of Mayor
Dickson in his suit against the Traction
Company. Not only did Judge Murf
sustain the Mayor, acting in his official
capacity, but he held that it was the
plain duty of the City Council to pro-
vide the Mayor with the means for
prosecuting the suit The object of the
suit is to compel the Traction Company
to issue transfers. For such action the
Mayor is warranted in the provision of
the Lorenz charter The Council had
directed the Mayor to withdraw the suit
but he resisted the demand He had
employed Looney & Scheen to repre-
sent the city, while City Attorney But
Ter was attorney for the Council, with
Mr. Kendall, of Wise, Randolph & Rem
dali, who are the legal representatives
of the Traction Company, who are di-
rectly concerned in the proceedings.
Under this decision by Judge Murff,
the proceedings against the Traction
Company will be prosecuted by Looney
& Scheen.

WEATHER BULLETIN
FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
A SEVERE COLD SPELL
Temperature Will Leap Downward and
Continue to Fall More than Season
Would Suggest-Blizzards Predicted
January Thirteen to Eighteen.

Copyrighted 1910 by w. T. Foster. }
Washington, D. C., Jan .8.-Last bull
letin gaveF forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent s to IL, warm wave
7 to II, cool wave 10 to ID. The feat
ures of this disturbance is expected to
be a very considerable rise in average
temperatures and a deficiency in preeip-
itation. Next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about I3, cross Pacific
slope by close of ID, great central val
leys IS to II, northeastern states and
eastern provinces 49, Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about IS, great cen
trail valleys IS, eastern provinces and
northeastern states II. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about 16, great cen
trail valleys I8, eastern provinces and
northeaster nstates 20.
This will be decidedly the most inn
portant disturbance of the month.
Storms accompanying it will be severe,
the temperatures that will have fluctu-
ated and gradually risen December 80
to January 10 will take leap down
ward and continue to fall more than the
season would suggest.
An unusually warm period of tenn
peratures will cross the continent IS to
I8 and following it will come cold
wave and blizzard with SHOWS farther
south than usual Readers of these
bulletins will be saved much disagree
able weather experience by getting
ready for this the worst winter storm
that will occur in January.
This disturbance will also largely in
crease precipitation which will be much
greater last half than during first half
of January. Northern states, east of the
Rockies, will get most of the precipi
tation of January. The southern states,
Cuba. Central America and that part of
Canada east of the Rockies will be
rather dry. West of Rockies about nor
NAL rainfall and colder than usual.
COTTON, HOGS, CATTLE, GRAIN.
Cotton is surely high enough and
planters will not try to hold over. Hogs
are not as scarce as grain SPECTATORS
tried to make believe. Farmers must
feed soft corn to hogs and cattle and
these will increase at rapid rate The
prices are now high and could not adj
wise to hold for still higher prices
Probabilities are that the big speculat-
ors will soon make bear campaign on
grain, hogs, cattle and cotton, and
therefore the farmer and planter should
sell while the prices are good.
Something is wrong with the oats
market In face of the greatest oats
crop the world ever produced, the mar
let prices of oats are abnormally high.
Speculation and manipulation.
The markets are surely manipulated,
and disposition is manifest that our
national executive and legislative de-
partments will make an effort to check
the great SPECTATORS in their eamag
ing manipulation of market prices.
These manipulations rob both the pro-
ducer and the consumer, and some
means should be found to put stop to
il1egitimate and to encourage legitimate
trade in the cereals, cotton and provis-
ions

Fight GILLET'I BILL
Protest With l,343 Signatures
Sent to Washington by Local
Federal Employees

AS a protest against the passage of
the Gillett bill, pending before con-
gress. which provides an annuity plan
for superannuated civil service en-
ployes supported by monthly assess
ment of employees. the San Francisco
branch of the United States civil
service retirement association has for
warded to Washington a petition of
protest containing 1,34S signatures.
Similar protests are being drawn up
and forwarded to the capital in all
cities of the United States. The an
nuity bill of Congressman Gillett of
Massachusetts provides a new method
of pensioning old and disabled, civil
service employees, being a distinct de-
parture from the army, navy and reve-
nue. cutter systems. Its Objectionable
feature is deduction of from $3.50 to
s15 monthly from the salaries of the
employees.
The petition carries an Endorsement
of the bill introduced by Congressman
Joseph A. Gouden of New York, which
provides simple pension scheme. Res
olutions condemning the Gillett plan
have been adopted by organizations in
all the large cities, representing 200, 700
civil service employees.

ton are: E. W. Maslin. president;

BOATS PROPELLER
MANGLES suicide
Unidentified Man Jumps Off Key
Route Ferry While Cross
ing the Bay

Before a crowd of nearly 1000 per-
sons an unidentified man jumped of
the bow of the Key Route ferry boat
Claremont yesterday afternoon at 1:45
o'clock as it was leaving the San Fran
cisco side and was cut TO pieces by the
propeller
The ferry boat was four minutes out
from the San Francisco slip when
First officer John Wigrem, who was
at the wheel, noticed man go under
the guard rope on deck and walk
toward the bow Wigrem shouted at
him to go back, but the man hastened
forward. He halted a moment at the
edge of the boat, raised his hat a if in
salute to distant Yerba Buena, and
then jumped off, feet first.
Captain John Lewis stopped the boat
and Second Officer Gus Oberg and two
men went over the side in rowboat
and picked up the mangled body.
Every stitch of clothing had been torn
off. The neck was severed even with
the shoulders. The legs were cut off
close to the body and the arms were
hanging by shreds.
Hundreds of persons on other ferry
boats going in and out of the slips
witnessed the suicide.
The remains were placed in a gunnv-
sack and the ferry boat proceeded on
its way to Oakland. On the return to
San Francisco the remains were deIiy-
cred to the coroner's office. From the
appearance of the body it is estimated
that the victim was a man Of middle
age. He weighed approximately $50
pounds. His hands were calloused as
if with hard work
He was not noticed among the hun
dreds of passengers who crowded
about the rope in front of the ferry
boat until he pushed his way through.
Some of the passengers said that he
did not seem to act erraticalIy and
that they took him for a workingman.
Late last night N. Lieber, Of GIG Van
Ness avenue, visited the morgue and
said he thought the body was that OF
a man by the name of S. Schorb, whose
home is on the road between Berkeley
and Richmond. Lieber said he knew
Schorb intimately and that the latter
several days ago threatened to jump
from ferry boat to end his life.

BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 20.-After a
lull of few days on account of being
sanded up, during which time 1t was
thought to be under control, the Mid
way Premier oil company's great
gusher on section 1929 broke loose
early this morning and is now spout
ing oil higher than it did when it was
first opened. The big 10 inch valves
which were supposed to be holding it
under subjection. were torn away and
all of the machinery attached was de-
molished by the great force of the gas.
1t is flowing at the rate of 10000
barrels a day. says Superintendent
Lamb, greater output than ever be-
fore According to the test of the
Standard oil company's engineer the
gravity is 221.
The 10000 barrel reservoir, which
has been under construction for the
last week, is ready for the reception
of the oil.
