There was a happy gathering of return
ed Klonrlikers and members of both
sexes who never traveled to the far north
at the "first annual stampede and sour
Cough social" at 116 Turk street last
evening. The affair wa» given by Dell
Clark and G. W. Meyer, who styled them
selves "Umaluctucs." There was flanc
ing and lots of refreshments. The rooms
were prettily Qecorated for the occasion.
The reception committee consisted of H.
E. Pratt. Judge J. H. Tamm, E. O. Llnd-
Lloom, Gordon .Hall, William Chenoweth,
J. 8. Copley, Samuel Dannenbaum, Dr. F.
Gatehouse, Captain O. Hansen, J. Mur
phy) Ed Welsh, Charles Kimball, John
Donnelly, J. O. Malley and R. Dawson.
Elder D. K. Lindsay of Ohio preached
to-nrght on the theme, "From Paradise
lx)st to Paradise Regained."
Reports were presented touching the
government of the denominational Insti
tutions and recommending that they be
placed, under certain conditions, in con
trol of a conference trust association.
This will be a special order of business
for to-morrow morning's session.
A resolution from H. W. Cottrell to re
move the general conference offices from
Battle Creek to a point on the Atlantic
eeaboard favorable to the work provoked
much inquiry. Delegates de$ired to know
whether that means New York or Lon
don for the conference headquarters.
Klder Cottrell was not sure on that point,
and the conference laid the matter over
until the committee shall have completed
Its report on that subject.
Elder W. T. Knox was the presiding of
ficer to-day. At the morning session a re
port was read urging systemateic ram
paigns of evangelizing In foreign field*.
asking appropriation of funds from local
conference treasuries and inviting a tith
ing fund of 10 cents a week from mem
bers of the church to forward the work.
"The bonds cover the main sanitarium
ground**, including the main building, the
dormitories, power, electric light, cold
storage and laundry plants and a number
of cottages. The total cost of the build
ings and grounds value Is between $600,000
and $700,000.
"With relation to Dr. Kellogg, who has
been accused of having ulterior designs in
some of the provisions of the trust deed,
I desire to emphasize that he does not
now know, in my opinion, what are the
provisions of the deed, because I do not
believe he scrutinized it with that close
attention necessary to remember in de
tail. The deed was drawn by myself and
was amended after numerous examina
tions by the trust company's attorneys
and officials. Unless It had been a trans
action, legal and in good faith, the trust
company would not have touched it."
After he had finished his speech, Judge
Arthur replied to a categorical bombard
ment from Elder Parsons, who explained
that he desired only to insure a full flood
of light on questions in doubt.
"The proceedings were conducted wilh
every regard for the interests of the bond
holders, who were protected by every
safeguard known to the. large and respon
sible institution which accepted the trust.
Leonard Young Loring, late major of
Ihe United States army medical depart
ment, died hi this city on Wednesday
at the age of fifty years*. Major LorintJ
leaves a widow, Mrs. Sophie Chauteau

United States army. Major Loring was a
native of St. Louis, Mo. The funeral ser
vice will be held at the undertaking es
tablishment of Craig, Cochran & Co., 429
Oolden Gate avenue, at 2 o'clock this al
ti-rnoon, after which the cortege will pio
ceed to the Presidio, 1 where the remains
will ho met by military escort. Interment
will bf in the National Cemetery.
Death of Major Loring.
Judge Arthur said:
"After the fire that destroyed the sani
tarium, the question was how to get
means to rebuild. At the time of the
fire the sanitarium owed $230,000 or $240,
000, due principally to members of the
Seventh Day Adventists' denomination.
It was Impossible to get. more money on
the personal obligations of the trustees.
he only feasible way open was to create
a mortgage debt to secure bonds to raise
the money.
"After much investigation I reported to
the board that the plan was a legal one,
and the Central Trust. Company at
Chicago was selected as trustee. The
vnlue of the property, after the build
ings were completed was to exceed
$500,000.
That there has been widespread dls
satlsfuction in the church throughout the
United States because of that financial
move was made manifest this afternoon
when delegates requested thai those who
had handled the deal for the sanitarium
make explanations. It appeared that
much of the criticism had been born of a
complete misunderstanding and that Dr.
John H. Kellogg, the head of the sani
tarium, had come in for a large share of
the unfavorable comment within the
church.
Upon invitation of the conference.
Judge Jesse Arthur of Battle Creek, the
general conference attorney, gave at
length a history of the bond issue, and
the preceding transactions./ He declared
that Dr. Kellogg "was In no ' way con
cerned: that all of the business was
transacted by himself and the repre
sentatives of the Central Trust Company
of Illinois, and that the Issue was legal
and for the best interests of the sani
tarium.
Day Adventists was 'the strong
feeling that has existed in the denomina
tion over the action of the trustees of
tho • great Battle Creek, Mich., sani
tarium, an institution of worldwide note,
in placing a mortgage debt upon its en
ormous property to cover a bond issue
by which the money v/as raised to re
build the Institution aftc-r a great fire a
year or more ago.

A special feature was the splendid drill
by a detachment of the Third Squadron
of the Ninth Cavalry, under the manage
ment of lieutenant .B. R. Camp, with
Sergeant Brice drillmaster. A score of
these famous San Juan Hill Rough Rid
erfc entertained the onlookers with a nla
toon drill, sabre exercises, a sham battle,
unsaddling of horses, bareback riding,
throwing- of horses to the ground by rid
ders, resaddling and skillful Cossack rid
ing.
Mr. and Mrs. John Flournoy, with their
well trained horses, gave good exhibitions
of pen jumping.
Tandems were driven by Miss Bertie
Bruce, Ml.ss Florence T. Callughan, Miss
Lucie King and Mis3 Mabel Hogg, each
mounted "on one horse, while driving the
one ahead. Miss Holbrook, who was to
have been among the tandems, was un
able to be present and was replaced by
Miss Hogg, who managed the horses of
the former with great skill.
The clever horses and their respective
riders were:
The programme opened with a grand
march of twenty equestriennes, who rode
about the ring in their smartest attire,
under a fire of good natured comment and
enthusiastic applause from the boxes.
Athletic features cleverly done by mem
bers Of the Olympic Club came next and
brought forth many exclamations of
praise.
The Jeu de Barre contest by Dr. Arnold
Genthe A. L. Yangerman and John
Flournoy proved of thrilling interest. It
was the purpose of two riders to quickly
snatch a rosette from the shoulder of the
third by reaching from the opposite side
at any moment when it was possible to
approach the adroit wearer of the ribbon.
Mr. Flournoy was the final winner.
Miss Mabel Hogg's double tandem driv
ing was especially line. Mounted upon
one horse she drove two ahead with un
usual grace 'and skill, which won much
admiration.
The charity ride given by the San Fran
cisco Riding Club last evening was a de
cided success and a number of society
devotees distinguished themselves by un
usually fine horsemanship.
Four hundred tickets were sold and the
seating capacity was taxed to the utmost
with spectators who showed enthusiastic
appreciation of the feats In the club ring.
There was not an accident from start to
finish and tjie tact, skill and hard work
done by John Flournoy and Edward S.
Jones, riding master, were responsible for
the success of the novel entertainment'of
fered. Miss Mabel Gunn was the first to
arouse Interest in the affair,* and as a
result the California Girls' Training Home
is about JOOO nearer the liquidation of Its
indebtedness.

Company at Llvermor.e, isays the "proof is,
absolute and beyond disbelief that his
daughter's affianced, his brother and his
father secretly boarded the. Stockton
train in the Livermore railroad yardsj
dodging through- lumber piles to escape'
unobserved by people at. the depot. The
Mltchel family is saying little to-day oth
er than to reiterate their position toward
the opposing Mclvers.
Since publicity was given tb* Mclver'a*
flight there has .been'." a sudden ¦ and
Sphinx-like sUence spread, over ttie Mc
lver household. *lt is with-'much.'strenu
ous denial that t-he family put *f orth> "their
statements that they knew not w.Herethe
fleeing youth had wln'ged his flight. But
twenty-four- hours have passed- since the
townspeople became generally apprised of
the situation, and now 'thfe MclvVrs .'de
clare the incident closed so far a's they are*
concerned. Rumor has it that the' young
man has been taken In hand by his broth,
e'r, Gilbert Mclver, a San Francisco com
mercial traveler, and qulbtly . hidden lh
some remote country town until {he at
mosphere shall have cleared, 'at Liver
more. . •" •
It has : been abundantly, proven^ to Ith'e
satisfaction of th"e young -lady's family at
least, that th«j.xelatives of*Qeorge-;William
Mclver had fufl'knowledge of -and .con-'
nived at" the young man's secret flight
•from Llverxnore Tuesday* night,, leaving-
Miss Alice Mau<$ MltcHer, whom -"he. was
to wed on April 15, forsaken an4 -aban-r
doned in the -midst" of : her wedding prep-,
arations. * • "'• " .-':'•
Such is the position tb/e • deserted bride
prospective'a parents h^Ve assumed, and.
they declare that the maixiager, tor whl6h
elaborate arra»gements 'were In progress,
would have taken place -had not -Mr., and.
Mrs. John Mclver made a. successful .'bat
tle and persuaded their, son to. surrepti
tiously decampr rather than to continue to
withstand the parental, objections^, that
had been raised -to ther match. . ", . .
Not "a word has the "deserted brldei-erecf
.heard from, the runaway. She has de-'
clared that the ..troth she plighted,, with
young Mclver shall not. be broKeri u'ntil
he shall have made' known his Intentions.
Miss Mltchel sp.ya the situation is ; sujch
that she is entitled to the consideration ot
a formal message at least from th'e" -ab-.
sentee, aad.itis her purpose* to. insist that
such a communication shall, be.forthcom

\ Another official dispatch announces that
Russia has given Bulgaria a definite and
emphatic notification that in case the re
sistance of the Bulgarian settlers in Tur
key to -the Sultan's reforms brings, on a
Turkish-Bulgarian conflict, Bulgaria must
not count on any support, moral or ma
terial,: from Russia* This is considered
further evidence of the purpose of the
powers not tQ interfere with the Sultan's
plans so. long as he is carrying out in good
faith the powers* project for reforms.
PARIS, April 2.— The French Foreign
Office has been officially advised that th«
Sultan of T*rkey has ordered a division
of troops to the scene of the recent out
breaks of Albanians.
Official advices also con flrra. the reports
dt the wounding of the Russian Consul at
Mitrovitza daring the unsuccessful attack
which the Albanians made on that town.
The attacking party numbered 3000 men.
representing the element opposing th«
plan of reforms which the powers jointly
formulated < and which Turkey accepted.
The officials here consider that the Al
b&hian opposition to the reforms creates
a serious complication and they accept
the Sultan's action in dispatching lars ¦
reinforcements to Albania as evidence i,f
the,. Turkish Government's Intention ti#
cdrry out the reforms project.
