s. y Ten deaths in Philadelphia from heat, twelve
deaths in Cleveland, -four deaths ia Louis
vile, four deaths in New York city, one in
Dubuque total of thirty-one deaths reported
is the record Of one day Of heat in the eastern
states this week
A heat wave extending from the Rockies east
to- the Atlantic coast was the cause Of this really
terrific slaughter by the snn and in all states be-
tween the Rockies and Ohio the temperature was
reported above 100 degrees, as high as 107 being
reported in Leavenworth, Kan
What was the condition here when these deaths
and prostrations by heat were being reported all
over the country?
In San Francisco the highest temperature was
62 and the lowest was Sc degrees In San Diego,
the extreme south, the highest and lowest temper
atures were " and 60 while Los Angeles registered
~ and So degrees. In the two chief cities of the
great valleys, Sacramento and Fresno the ternpera
tures while registering m Simum Of 90 and D6,
went down to So and a. The lowest Temperature
in New York and: Chicago was the same in
cach-74
With all these torrid temperatures Of the east IS
humidity of the most depressing sort, which is
lacking here in California
These are the sort of figures which should be
spread before the people of the east until the facts
are dinncd into them that California not only has
the ideal winter climate but the same in summer.
Come to San Francisco, where you wear blank
cts on your bed in July, where the violets bloom
in January, where you can keep cool in summer
and warm In winter. We have some weather
here, but it's the best kind all the time

ATTACK TT OK RIGHT
TO SIGN LICENSE
In Consequence Court Holds
Up Application Of Summit
Bridge Woman

There were new points raised by
the attorneys for the Law and order
Society in the Court Of General Ses-
sions on Saturday afternoon in the
hearing Of the application for
license by Mrs. Anna McCloskey, Of
Summit Bridge. Five of the seven
property owners who signed the
licensed application we're colored per-
sons and Caleb e. Burchenal for the
Order Society attacked the "respecta-
bility" of two of the signers because
they drink.
Charles II. Salmon. who has hereto
fore signed the application, refused to
sign it this time on the ground as he
said that the place was the cause Of
much disorder. He admitted, how
ever, that so far as he knew Mrs Nc
.Closkey conducted as orderly a place
as ever was at Summit Bridge Dis
cussing the qualifications of the sign
ers Mr.. Salmon said that one of them
John Neville, had bought a lot from
him for S37 and that the money was
paid by Francis Kelly and Company.
OF another signer, Edward Rooms,
Mr.. Salmon said he is one of six heirs
to a property worth about 800 on
which there is mortgage for 500.
John r. Butler, who lives within a
mile of Summit Bridge, said he did
not consider Edward Rooms and JOS
eph II. Adams of sufficient respecta-
bility to sign a liquor application, but
on REORGANIZATION by Robert ii.
Richards, who represented the apple
ant, he said he did not consider man
respectable who drank. William G.
Bigger, VIM. Thompson, JOS w. Kane
and Robert NJ Higbee testified that
they did not consider Rooms and
Adams respectable enough to sign a
liquor license application
Charles Fox, who lives within a
quarter of a mile of the hotel and
visits the place, said he has frequent
ly been there on Saturday nights and
never say any disorder
