Chief Hope.
SAN FRANCI&VO, May 20. ( Special.)
A meeting of the Builders' Exchange has
hren called for "Wednesday, at which
time the contractors of the city who are
erecting the structures now rising in the
ruins will discuss the question of stop
ping; -pork until normal conditions are
resumed. In case such action Is taken
50,000 men will be thrown out of em
ployment. The car strike, the other labor trou
bles, and a tightening money market
have brought the present situation about.
The financial and industrial situation at
the present moment 1s graver than it
has been since the big disaster. Every
attempt will be made to Induce the build
ers to continue work, but President Kent,
of the exchange, stated tonight that many
of the members of the association had
expressed themselves In favor of stop
ping work until the situation could again
bm restored to the normal. Ixans are
heing railed In and the Interest rata
has been advanced from S and 6 to 7 and
S per cent.
A statement has been promised tomor
row from Heney and Spreckels, and this
may serve to clarify the situation. Tha
resignation of the committee of seven
when Heney and Hpreckels made their
final refusal to co-operate has served to
complicate matters.

took seats near the counsel table. The

or tne i ( talesmen regaining irom tne
Ruef case. P'orty-three were present.
The Schmlts case was then called and
his attorneys announced that Sc limits
was ready.
Mr. Langdon stated that on Satur
day night last the defense had
served on him notice of a motion for a
change of trial judge, with copies of af
fidavits. In support of the assertion that
Judge Donne is biased and prejudiced
against Scnmltz. Mr. Langdon asked that
the case go over until 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning to give the prosecution time to
prepare counter affidavits.
"I shall not argue trie motion for a
change of trial judge." isid Mr. Camp
hell. "We have no desire to delay the
proceedings. If we have affidavits tra
versing the counter-affidavits, we shall
merely file them and rest the decision
with the court."
Mr. Campbell then asked whether the
names of the 77 talesmen called had been
drawn from the regular jury box and
served by the Elisor.
"Some of them, yes," said Judge
Dunne.
Mr. Campbell replied that the defense
would not offer any objection to the sum
moning of talpsmen by the Elisor, as
they viewed that as a pure ministerial
act; "but," he added, "we shall object to
any further action by an Elisor in these
proceedings."
"If there is going to be any discussion
on that question," said Judge Dunne, "we
might as well thresh it out now."
Assistant District Attorney Heney set
the defense at ease by making the follow
ing statement:
"In view of the unauthorized state
ments that have appeared in the local
press, and on account of the understand
ing that may have been assumed from
them by the defense, I desire to say at
this time that the state has no present
intention of asking the court to order the
defendant Into custody pending his trial."
Adjournment thereupon was taken.
District Attorney Langdon was asked
whether the statement by Mr. Heney that
the prosecution had "no present Inten
tion ' of asking the court to order Mayor
Sohmitz into custody indicated that such
a request would be made later. He re
plied: "Stranger things have happened.

SAX FRANCISCO. May 20. The
"committee of seven," appointed by
the seven commercial organizations of

the power of Mayor Schmitz. with the
latter's consent, for the purpose of
bringing about some order in munici
pal affairs, in consequence of a general
'disorganization and lack of harmony
In the city government, resulting from
the sensational bribery-graft expos
ures, resigned tonight. The reason
assigned by the committee was that
it had been unable to secure the co
operation of Rudolph Spreckels and
Francis J. Heney. who are at the head
of the graft Investigation.
This action was taken by the com
mittee after a meeting which lasted
nearly the entire afternoon, and at
which Governor Gillett sought In vain
to dissuade the members from taking
the step that they did. The committee
was to have acted in an advisory ca
pacity to the Mayor, and the latter had
premised to carry, out whatever it rec
ommended. STARTING MORE STREETCARS

Railroads Say That Uncle Sam

MAKES SUNDAY WORK DAY
'r .Rule About Weighing Mail,
Which Incidentally Rednces Pay,
Hurt Religious Senslbil
, Hies of Presidents.
CHICAGO. May 2n.(Special Ts the
United States Postofflce Department go
ing officially to declare Sunday a legal
"working day?" This question is said to
agitate many organizations having for
their purpose the securing of a proper
Sunday observance.
The question arises In the controversy
between the railroads and the depart
ment o'er the proposed reduction In the
compensation awarded for transporting
the malls. Religious people throughout
the country are said to be watching the
controversy with keen Interest. This 1s
being intensified by printed arguments is
sued by the railroads opposing the de
partment's order, which requires "that,
when the weight of the malls is taken on
railroad routes, the whole number of
days the mails are weighed shall be used
as a divisor for obtaining the average
weight per day."
The presidents of all the big railways
in the country have signed a printed pro
test and argument against the enforcer
ment of this rule, insisting that legal
"working days" only shall be considered,
as has been the case for over 40 years.
The new order, they say, transgresses
all precedent of law and of Congress" and
officially recognizes Sunday as a legal
"working day."
"The mails are carried on Sundays."
admit the railroad presidents, "but. like
Congress, the records do not show that
they are eo carried."
It Is further stated that only the exi
gencies of the service" have led the rail
roads to establish Sunday service: that
the new rule penalizes the railroads for
having bettered the service, and that they
may have to discontinue frneir Sunday
service. If the rule is not changed.

Labor Union Troubles In San Fran
cisco Responsible for Ending
Naval Construction There.
WASHINGTON. May 20. The Union
Iron Works has just given up the task of
completing the cruiser California, as also
building the South Dakota, a cruiser of
similar type. The South Dakota is now
97.4 completed and work on her is being
carried on. It is regarded at the Navy
Department that, in view of the labor
troubles, the completion of these two
cruisers marks the end of naval con
struction at San Francisco for some
time.
The reports- to the Navy Department
from San Francisco show the California
to be 99.6 per cent completed. All that
remains to be done is a little work in
the turrets, considerable painting and fin
ishing up of odds and ends. The Cali

ginia. ' which is now the flagship of the
Pacific Coast fleet. The contract price
of the California is $3,800,000. Her keel
was laid May 7, 1902, and she was
launched April 28, 1904.
On account of the earthquake and con

une ot tne important JJuties oi rnysicians ana
the Well-informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing: and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of.
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. .
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup f Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of.
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs' which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
