DEAL FOR COLUMBIA
CANNERIES IS CLOSED
New York Syndicate Soon to Control the
Entire Salmon Output of
the District
f) VANCOUVER, B. C. Sept. 7. — The deal is now practically com- €
) pleted whereby a New York syndicate, organized by T. B. McGovern & /
' Co.. a large brokerage firm, will become proprietors of the whole of the
> salmon :anning industry of British Colui bia. A telegram was received '
to day f:-o::i New York by the Vancouver representative of McGovern v
f & Co.. stating that the syndicate had about been formed with a capital 1
stock • . and now all that remained was to secure reasonable
■¥ price? ■ canners.
There are sixty-eight canneries In British Columbia— on the Fraser £
+ and Skeena rivers m >stly and they are valued at $40.000 each. The ma- j)
jority of the pi have already stated their willingness to part /
rty on jis of arbitration, they to receive Half cash and

unusual space and is located almost in
the center of the grounds.
The fourth prize was awarded to
Howard & Cauldwell of Sew York. The
trouble with their plans was a mon
otonous similarity of design in all the
buildings. This was one of the princi
pal faults. The arrangement of the
buildings is excellent and due con
sideration has been given to preserv
ing the contour of the present site.
The last on the list of prize winners
is the firm of Lord. Hewlett & Hull of
New York. A feature of their plans,
and the one which practically won the
fifth prize, is the arrangement of two
beautiful entrances to the university
grounds, one directly from Berkeley
toward the west, and the other facing
toward Oakland opposite Telegraph
avenue. These entrances ad to an
immense square, around which the im
portant buildings are located, connect
ed by colonnades But the designers fell
into the monotonous feature and made
all th. buildings alike. The jury has
considered in looking over all the dif
ferent plans that each building should
be designed to show as far as possible
the us to which it was to be put.
The Hearst architectural contest
marks practically the ginning of one
of the most gigantic undertakings ever
attempted. The consummation of the
plans means that the California Uni
versity will become one of the greatest
and most extensive centers of learning
that the world has ever known. Vir
tually a city will be built on the site of
the present frame buildings that com
prise the State University- city of
buildings that can safely be said to be
the very perfection of architectural de
sign and beauty, the creations of the
greatest architects known. The present
university buildings can almost be
numbered on the fingers of the hands.
The plans which wen the prize in the
architectural contest embrace struct
ures reaching close up to a hundred in
number. Every conceivable depart
ment is provided for according to its
acknowledged importance.
From an architectural standpoint the
contest i.« considered one of the most
Important events in the history of the
profession. The eyes of the civilized
world have been turned toward the Jury
of architects and their decision has
been awaited with feverish Impatience.
At this time it is hard to state with
any degree of pi sitlveness what the
next step will be toward a realization
of Mrs. Hearst's plans for California's
university. The report of the jury will
be in the hands of the Regents in a
very few days and then the course for
the immediate future will be outlined.
Mrs. Hearst has guaranteed to provide
for the construction of at least two pf
the most important buildings and other
public spirited people have signified
their Intention of doing likewise.
Monsieur E. Benard, upon whose
plans was conferred the great honor
of being selected as the designs for Cal
ifornia's new university, Is a native of
France and comparatively a young
man. " was born in 1844 at Gader
ville. Department of the Lower Seine.
He has been closely identified with
many of the more important of modern
public "and private architectural works
of France. He is. a diplomat Kcole dc
Beaux Arts, and in August. 1867. he re
ceived the Grand Prix tie Rome, the
highest honor in the line of the arts
that can be conferred in the Old World.
It is conferred in the several depart
ments of painting, architecture, sculp
ture and engraving. M; Benard won
it on an architectural} design for a fine
arts building. The central motive, of
the Art Palace at the Columbian Ex
position at Chicago was radically a
direct copy of the work.
A man only has until he is thirty to
win the Grand Prix. Out of a larere
number of applicants in each depart
ment, ten are selected to. enter the final
competition, and but one of these Is
awarded the* Grand Prix in each year.
Monsieur Benard has done a great
deal of work upon buildings in the
French capital. He designed the Palace
de Compiegne, Civil Court building at
Fecant, the Chateaux of Sassetot and
Mere-aux-Clercs. One of his greatest
pieces of work was the designing cf the
decorations of the Casino de Nice.

GUESTS OF MRS. HEARST
VIEW THE PRIZE PLANS
The elite of San Francisco society
thronged the ferry building lost evening
to view the plans for California" a univer
sity, which had been submitted by Dearly
a score of world famous artists in compe
tition for the prize offered by Mrs. Phebe
Hearst. It was not a public exhibition:
that will conic later, but the guests were
nil there by invitation of Mrs. Hears)
The drawl mbs had been arranged along
the sides of the east nave of the big
building and an added artistic effect was>
produced by the draptngs of Persian and
Turkish rugs. On the east side, at about
the center of the building, a canopy of
these rugs haxl been erected, under which
Mrs Hearst received her guests, assisted
by Mrs. W. K. Jones of Berkeley, Mrs;
Kd ward. Clark of New York, Mrs. San-
Dorn, Mrs. McDonald, Mrs.- Carriers, Miss
Appcrpon and Miss Lane.
At the north end of the grand nave coat
and cloak rooms had been partitioned off
or the occasion and the brass-buttoned
iliccnaen who guarded the portals of the
'mprovised gallery where the exhibition
warn being held, gaie the affair the ap
• arance of a State function. In th" \a
int space back of the long line of draw
,i t'F a band was stationed, and, thus
-r< .nod from view, dispensed sweet
musk! throughout the evening.
The reception bepan at 9 o'clock and for
ihe next three hours the guests passed to
md fro admiring the elaborate drawings
md exchanging views as to their respec
• t, as seen by the uninitiated
■.•i ;:i\"infr their respects to Mrs
Hearst. While in the midst of this pleas
luty Mrs. Hearst was seized with a
fainting spell. Restoratives were quickly
applied ar.d p'hp recovered" almost iram a
dlatelj :ir,<i was taken home in her car
riage. Her temporary Indisposition was
due to the somewhat vitiated atmosphere
and the severe nervous strain under
which she has been laboring for the pas!
week as the result of her untiring intor
o«t in everything In any way connected
with the competition.
The Inspection of the marvelous produc
tions of the famous architects proved a
captivating fonr. of recreation, ihr rich
ly costQtned Indies and men in full even-
Ing dress never seemed to tire of gazing
at the drawings. M. Benard's ii!nn«.
which were awarded first prize by thf
international judges imported to decide
their respective merits, were naturally
the center of attraction, as It is from
them thai the hew university bui'ditißS
be built. They were located ;>t the
south end of the nave, while the second,
third and fourth prize winners were ad
vantageously placed along the sides
and at the north end. All came in f>r
volumes of praise and not quite .ili of
those present agreed with the Judges that
M. Benard's plans were the most artistic.

DAN BURNS' MAN
FRIDAY RESIGNS
HIS POSITION
Leon Dennery Seeks
Other Pastures.
ED B. CARROLL GETS THE JOB
HEALTH BOARD WOULD NOT
STAND THE STRAIN.
»
Was Willing to Abide by the Rail
road's Dictation, but Dennery as
Secretary Was One Too
• • Many.
The by no moans delicate stomach of
the San Francisco Board of Health has
finally rebelled at Leon Dennery. That
political creation of Daniel M. Burns of
fered his resignation ass secretary of the
board yesterday. It will bo accepted at
the next meeting. Edward B. Carroll, for
merly statistician to the board, has been
appointed to the vacancy created by Mr.
Dennery 1 enforced resignation.
The resignation of DennerC* was fore
casted some weeks ago in The Call, as
was tin- successor of Carroll. Since hi»
appointment upon Burns' orders individ
ual members of the Board of Health have
made no secret of their dissatisfaction.
No matter what their political debts to
Burns might be, or his to them, they
have never been willing to stand for Den
nery as a prominent ami unprofitable
member of their political association. His
private and public reputation has been
.such that even Burns has found him a
position where he will have more time
for his politics and bo less open to public
criticism and censure. Mr. Dennery, it
is understood, will after the loth of the
month be employed as district deputy to
Internal Revenue inspector Lynch. In
that position he will have the same sal
ary and less work; his time for the good
of the cause will be extended.
"When I took this job." said Mr. Den
nery yesterday, "I never expected to keep
it. I was under fire from the newspapers
and about everybody else, and I accepted
for that reason. Now I can retire with
a clean record and no paper in town can
say I have done anything crooked. I
won't say what Job I'm going into next,
but I am needed more downtown, where
there's something doing, than I am here,
and -I'll Just hand this out to you for a
tip: I'll have more time and more people
where I'm going."
Despite his assertion that his resigna
tion was voluntary. It is known that the
members of the board informed Burns
weeks ago that the course Dennery has
taken must eventuate In his retirement.
They were willing to take orders so long
as their individual reputations did not
suffer by association, but to no further
extent. That they were still willing to
bow down to the Burns-Herrih political
corporation is evidenced by the fact that
Edward Carroll, brother-in-law of George
Crocker, vice president of the Southern
Pacific, has been appointed to Dennery's
phace, hut their subserviency in that case
finds extenuation in the fact that Carroll
is a competent man and one against whom
nothing discreditable can be said, either
personally or politically.

COL. SHAW CHOSEN
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF
Close of the Thirty-Third National Encamp
ment of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
COLONEL ALBERT D. SHAW OF NEW YORK.
This well-known veteran has been elected commander In chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic. In 1597 he was chosen department commander
of New York.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. ". — The
thirty-third national encampment
of the Grand Army of the Re
public came to an end to-night.
The election of a commander-in
chief. which it was supposed would be
settled only after a warm contest, was
conducted and carried out in the most
peaceable manner Imaginable. Colonel
Albert D. Shaw of "Watertown, N. V.,
was unanimously elected to the highest
office of the organization, after Judge
Leo Rassieu or St. Louis had declined
to be a candidate. Other officers elected
were: Irvine Robbins of Indianapolis,
senior vice commander-in-chlef ; H. M.
Minton of Louisville, Ky., junior vice
commander; William H. Baker of
Lynn. Mass.. surgeon general; Jacob
H. Grimm of Maryland, char>lain-in
chief.
Early in the campaign there were
three candidates for commander-in
chief. W. C. Johnson- of Cincinnati,
who was acting commander-in-chief,
was first mentioned, and the names of
Colonel Shaw and Judge Rassieur
later became prominent. Johnson's
boom was ended yesterday with his
election to the office for the unexpired
term of the late commander. Sexton,
lasting two days. This rendered him
Ineligible to candidacy for another
term, and with the election of Colonel
Shaw he becomes a past commander
in-ohief.
Aside from the selection of a com
mander-in-chief the pension question
received the major portion of attention.
Resolutions were adopted that rule 2^5,
now in practice, was a hardship in that
it required proof of identity and injury,
which many soldiers could not fur
nish and asking that the President
re-establish rule 164, which is not so
.stringent in its requirements. The
resolutions also deplored the practice in
the pension bureau which bars widows
who have an income of 5% a year, and
asks that the limitation be increased
to $250 a year.
Pursuan'. of the resolutions a com
mittee <>f five was appointed to seek
relief from the administrative officers.
and, failing there, to ask Congress to
amend the law in favor of the veterans.
Chicago secpred the next encamp
ment and it is expected that Judge
Rassieur will then be elected corhman
der-in-chief.
The features of to-days celebration
wore the illumination of the North
Atlantic squadron and the camp fire of
the Union ex-prisoners of war, both of
which occurred to-night. The lighting
up of ihe fleet drew large crowds to
both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey
shores of the Delaware River. The
ships were literally covered with elec
tric lights and presented a magnificent
i picture. The big searchlights on the
vessels were also In operation, making
the illumination more effective. The
cruiser Detroit received considerable
attention from the crowd by reason of
the order sending her to Venezuela to
I protect American interests there.
The Academy of Music was crowded
to the door? to-night by Grand Army
men and their friends to take part in
the ex-prisoners' campflre. Addresses
were made by Governor Stone of Penn
sylvania. Mayor Ashbridge of this city,
ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison. Lieu
tenant Colonel James B. Barnett of the
Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment; General
John C. Black of Illinois. United States
Senator Penrose' and a number of
others.
There were numerous reunions held,
and the Illumination of the "Avenue of
Fame" and the fireworks display at
Camp James A. Sexton were continued
to-night.
Rear Admiral Sampson attended the
convention of Naval Veterans of the
United States. The delegates discussed
a plan for the erection of a monument
to the memory of Past Rear Admiral
J H. Dahlgren. A committee was ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions for the
memorial. Officers were elected as fol
lows:
Commodore commanding. Goerge I.
Seavy, Chicago; fleet captain and chief
of staff, I. B Baker. Boston: command
er, J. A. Miller. Athens, Ohio: lieuten

U. P. Dustln, Rhode Island: chaplain.
A. S. McWilllams. Detroit; judge advo
cate. C. F. Cooding. Chicago.
The convention adjourned to meet
with the G. A. R. at Chicago in 1900.
SONS MAY SEPARATE
FROM THE VETERANS
DETROIT. Sept. 7.— Whether there is
really any friction between the Sons of
Veterans and the G. A. R., and whether
the two societies shall In the future camp
together, are the serious questions being
considered by the eighteenth annunl en
canjpment Ot the Sons of Veterans, which
began here this afternoon. Opinion among
the delegates on the matter of campling
together with the veterans of the G. A.
R. is divided.
There is in the hands of the resolution
committee a resolution fixing the 1900 en
campment at Chicago simultaneously
with the G. A. li. and ordering that the
sons camp with the veterans hereafter.
It will be reported to the delegates for
consideration to-morrow. Both Syracuse,
N. V.. and Milwaukee arc also working
fur the next encampment, with Milwau
kee In the lead to-night.
Three candidates for the office of com
mander in chief, to succeed F. L. Shep.irt
of Chicago, have developed. A. W*. Jones
of Youngstown. Ohio, is the lea-ding can
didate, with NcwtQii J. McGuire of In
dianapolis and Rev. YV. J Pat ton of
Marinette. Wis., also working for the
office.
The military feature qf the order seems
to be on the wane. There is a desire
among the delegates to eliminate the
drills and military sections and make of
the order a patriotic society of a purely
civil character, aside from the officers
retaining their present military titles.
About 200 delegates are attending the en
camptnent and visitors swell the total
attendance to the vicinity of 400.
The Ladles' Aid Society is meeting at
the Hf.te! Cadillac, with forty delegates
present. The secretary, Mrs. Mamie P
Dorsey, reported a total membership' of
4ii9. divided among 19.3 societies.
