Bylaws Are Presented.

Mr.. Bon reported that joint meeting
was held week ago and after the
merits of the bylaws presented by L.
Tenney Peck were discussed the meeting
adjourned leaving the matter to be still
further discussed at meeting to be
called in the near future.
At the last meeting NJ. Phillips. of
the merchants association comittee,
brought up the question relating to rep.
resentation of the retail men in the new
chamber. Mr.. Peck replied that the in
terests of the retail trade would be
properly safeguarded.
Mr.. McInerny stated at the confer
| ence that at the time of the launching
of the merchants association there
were many matters which the chamber
of commerce would not handle, as for
| instance, such matters as the handling
of the auto traffic on Fort street. He
had believed that the scope of the asso-
| citation should be confined to matters
that were really local in order that diff
ferent votes on public questions might
not be forwarded to Washington and
elsewhere on the same subject.

To JUROR
Judge Van Fleet Disrnisses
William A. Hicster From
Federal Jury Panel
DECLARES HIM UNFIT
FOR COURT DUTY
Special Prosecutor Has Say
as to Filing of Con- !.
tempt Charge

Summary dismissal from the federal
jury panel was meted out to Juror
William Heister by Fudge Van Fleet
this morning for statements Heister
made concerning the Caminetti case.
The Juror who talked so freely last
Sunday had to report with the mem
bers of the general panel today. and
was a very meek and scared man
when the Judge called his name.
Judge Van Fleet read from a news
paper clipping, in which Heister was
quoted in an interview as saying:
The Caminetti verdict is a disgrace
to the United States"
The Judge left 1t to the discretion
of the special prosecutor as whether
or not a charge of contempt will be
filed against Heister.
Concerning Heisters attitude Judge
Van Fleet made the following caustic
criticism:
Conduct such as you have been
guilty of is absolutely at variance
with the proprieties OF juror and
tends to bring the law into contempt.
as well as to question the Jury system.
The remarks that you have yourself
admitted have show you to be abso-
lutely unified for jury service in this
court man guilty of what you
have done does not appreciate the
application of his oath and his duty
as a juror"
Heister broke in upon the Judge at
various times with statements that
the interview was garbled one. He
ended up by apoiogixing to the court.
Charles o. Ciausen, another juror,
who was quoted in newspaper inter
view, was called on the carpet C1au-
sen denied that he had said for pub
lication that he had voted for con-
viction when he believed the man in
nocent and convinced the judge he
was telling the truth. Clausen was
reprimanded, but not dismissed from
the panel.

AS she said the words the distracted
mother choked up with emotion and
burst into hysterical sobbing.
1T is impossible TO think that she
can be willfully deceiving me. I am
a mother needing help in her worst
trial and sorrow. Oh, help me to nnd
my girl"
New light was thrown on the dis
appearance Of Miss Georgia Cameron,
high school girl. who disappeared from
her home Monday, when a prominent
business man, who refused to divuige
his name, called upon the mother of
the girl and told of seeing a young
woman fitting the description of Miss
Cameron wandering aimlessly along
the road going south about 500 yards
the other side of Toms cabin on the
main boulevard.
Mrs. Cameron's informant stated
that he was returning from Stanford
university with party OF friends
in an automobile. The time was close
10 $50 Monday afternoon. when near
ing Toms cabin, they saw a young
girl walking slowly and apparently
aimlessly along the roadside
AS the machine passed they all
glanced at the pedestrian and noticed
that she appeared dazed. Her glance
appeared to be appealing. They
thought nothing of the incident until
later when reading the story in the
newspapers giving Miss Camerons de-
scription. 1t was then remembered by
all of those In the machine that the
published description fitted accurately
with that of the girl they had passed
on the road.
GIRL ACCUSED OF FLIRTING
Mrs. Cameron told the police that
she was positive her daughter had no
young men friends and secuted the
theory that the girl had eloped or
that she had gone away with any one.
Inquiry this morning at the high
school where Miss Cameron was a
pupil revealed the fact, according to
number of her zchool companions,
that she was In the habit of secretly
corresponding with a number of
young men. 1t was said that on one
occasion she remarked of having
flirted with a youth in a machine
Furthermore, 1t was learned that
the girl had failed to attend school
last Thursday and Friday and also
Monday. She was excused on a plea
of illness. The principal sent a note
to Mrs. Cameron, but received no
response.
II was reported among Miss Cam
eron's girl friends that she had had
trouble with her parents and that
this caused her at times to become
considerably morose.
One girl friend of Miss Cameron's
declared that the girl had conlded
to her that she expected to go to
Sacramento on Monday for big time,
but would give no further details.

and the hberator paid honor to the
heroes who died on board the battle
ship Maine when that ship was blown
up in Havana Harbor at $40 o'clock on
he evening Of February is, 1898.
The occasion was memorial sery-
ice. and ceremonies attendant upon the
anveiling Of the National Maine Monu-
ment at the Fifty-ninth street and

One thousand Cuban sailors from
the warship Cuba, 10000 United States

for the occasion, the Sixty-ninth Regi.
ment, First Regimental Cavalry and
the Naval Militia of the New York
State Militia and several Spanish War
Veteran Associations took part in one
of the greatest naval and military
parades New York has seen in years.
Starting from Fortieth street and Fifth
avenue the troops proceeded to Fifty
ninth street, thence down Fifty-ninth
to Broadway, up Broadway to Sixty.
sixth street and thence east into Gem
trail Park. Here the troops and sail
ors countermarched so that the heads
of the various divisions simultaneously
appeared surrounding the monument.
In the reviewing stand were Gov
ernor Sulzer of New York, Governor
Haines of Maine, Mayor Gaynor and
other city officials; Rear-Admiral
Charles Sigsbee, who was captain of
the Inflated Maine at the time of the
explosion, and ather john Chadwick,
chaplain Of the old Maine.
Previous to the arrival Of the troops
at the monument they were reviewed
from specially erected stand at the
Plaza, Fifty-ninth street and Fifth ave-
nue..
With the troops banked about the
monument and standing at parade rest,
addresses we're made by the prominent
guests. Directly back of the monument
were the two groves of trees planted
by Park Commissioner Slower as part
of the Maine memorial. To the left in
the rear of the monument had been
planted one scarlet oak for each ship
which was under the command of Ad-
nliral Dewey at the battle of Manila
Bay.
Just opposite these trees was a
grove Of red oaks, one for each of the
ships under the command of Admirals
Schley and Sampson at Santiago Har-
Dor. AS a background for the monu-
ment and the two "oak tree fleets" a
grove of pin oaks had been planted to
represent each battleship in the pres
emit United States Navy.

ambassador from Japan, called upon
Secretary Bryan with formal notiica-
ton that Japan had accepted in princi-
pal the proposed plan advanced by the
United States for universal peace.
Signatories Of the treaty proposed
In Mr.. Bryan's plan would agree to
refrain from hostilities for period Of
at least nine months while any CON
nicting claims we're under considera-
ton by an International joint COM
mission. In the case of Japan, as
with the ten other nations that have
received the proposal fayorably, the
response applies solely to the general
principle involved, and none has COM
mdtted itself to approval OF any OF the
details Of the project Therefore, it
may be many months before the tenta-
tive draft Of the convention, which Mr..
Bryan submitted to the various en-
bassies and legations, can be reduced
to form which will receive their UNI
qualified approval.
The statement by the Japanese Am
bassador that his government was
prepared to give careful and favorable
consideration to the peace proposal
has no bearing whatever upon negotia-
lions now in progress between the
two countries regarding the Califor-
mia alien land legislation. During his
call upon Mr.. Bryan the Ambassador
discussed this subject from various
angles for half an hour, but without
any definite result.

waived damages after the defendant
had uttered a retraction the jury
awarded the nominal damages of six
