At a meeting of the freshman class

a chance to reconsider. Whether yes

that and if It proves a success the

Vallejo, Cal., Dec. 11. Leon Cohn,
the caterer who served the ptomaine
tainted meat at the. launching of the
comer Prometheus last Saturday . - and
thereby caused the serious illness of
over 1000 people, is asking: for his pay.
He says there Is still $543 due him and
ne is anxious to get it.
The officials and civic organizations
of Vallejo are amazed at Cohn's atti
tude. They prophesy that he will have
to wait yet a little longer before he
eeas all that is due him for that dis
astrous .leant. -
Cohn continues to protest against
his critics. He says he paid a high
price for his meat and supposed it was
fresh. He believes he has said the last
word when he states that he and his
wife ate the food themselves and suf
fered no evil effects.
Despite his assertion of his Innocence,
lour separate investigations into hi
case have been ordered. Dr. N. K.
Foster and Dr. Martin Regensberarer. re
spectively secretary and president of
tne state board 01 health, have ordered
an analysis made of the sandwich meats
served at tne luncheon. Dr. W. C.
Rucker. in behalf of the federal govern'
ment, is prosecuting an independent In.
quiry. Mayor J. J. Madlgan of Vallejo
and a committee from the commercial
and labor organizations of that city
have been actively sifting the whole
case, ana coroner T. a. Iceland of San
Francisco Is also Investigating, his Dar
tlcular purpose being to ascertain the
cause or the death of James C. Rev
nolds, the waiter who died from poison
ing.
Most of- the sick In Vallejo and the
surrounding cities are recovering. The
exceptions seem to be Mrs. A. U. Faulk
ner, wife of Captain Faulkner of the
field artillery at the Presidio, and F. W.
Richardson of Berkeley.
Yesterday, when Mra Faulkner
seemed almost recovered, she took a
sudden turn for the worse and her
friends are now much alarmed.
F. W. Richardson, editor of the
Berkeley Gazette, has mended so slowly
that his doctor has recommended send
ing him to a sanitarium.

(Special Dlapatch to Ttie Journal.)
New York, Dec, 11. -Expecting to
reap a better harvest this season than
last, the Christmas tree venders have
begun to ship their stock to this city.
The first consignment arrived this
week and was .displayed today in Wash
ington market.
The Christmas tree trade In New
York has grown to mammoth propor
tions and it requires many carloads
and even shiploads of trees to supply
the metropolis and its suburbs. Morf
trees of large size are used than ever
before. This Is due to the growing
custom' of churches, societies, lodges
and other bodies of having a mammoth
tree in common, which has largely done
away with the old time practice of
individual family Christmas trees.
The trees In Maine and Canada are
becoming scarcer each year and it re
quires more labor to market the trees
than In former years. All the available
trees alone the railroads have been
cut and now the dealers are compelled
to haul the trees many miles before
they can ship them on cars. Still the
supply seems equal to the demand and
the indications are that the trees will
cost more this season than heretofore.
There appears to be a scarcity, how
ever, of holly and mistletoe, especially
of the better grades, and It Is probable
Rome fancy prices will be realized on
these popular articles of decoration.
