CALL BUREAU, WORLD'S FAIR.
ST. LOUIS, June 17.— The commission
ers from the California counties to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition will
give an opening. It will take place In
California's space In the Palace of Ag
riculture, and the custodians of the
county exhibits hope to make it the
vehicle for a good advertisement for
the State. The final touches are being
put on the exhibits in the California
section, and the general display will be
in Its fairest form when the reception
Is given. -The county commissioners'
organization will have the floor in the
entire space oiled, which will give a
better appearance to the section, now a
small fair In Itself and filled with va
ried beauties. There will be music at
the reception, as planned now, and an
nouncements will be made in the St.
Louis papers so as to draw the largest
crowd possible and make the occasion
a noteworthy one. All Californlans
will be invited to be present with
badges displayed and receive the vis
itors and furnish information required
by them. The State commissioners will
be asked to select a date for the open-
Ing. The expense will be paid by the
counties' organization.
A fund for local advertising has also
been raised by the county commission
ers, and fair visitors will be informed
through various sources that the most
wonderful exhibit of the soil's products
ever gathered together on the face of
the globe is to be seen In the California
section of the Palaces of Agriculture
and Horticulture. The object is to make
the California displays in these build
ings objects that "must be seen" by
visitors who wish to see the fair's main
features.

The Pike parties of Miss Alice
Roosevelt, which seemed to be full of

ter, are also popular with Californians.
In one of these one night were many

Samuel Butler, the Nevada County
mining exhibit commissioner, is out
again' after a severe illness.
er's cabin are maintained in the out
side display.
In the horticultural section New Mex
ico Is making a demonstration of the
early maturity of her apples that is
novel. Every fifteen days specimens
enough to fill a glass Jar are received
from an orchard near Roswell and
placed on exhibition... The first con
signment, consisting of eight varieties,
was received on April 23. These are
about as large as pigeon eggs and
from this the apples will take- their
gradual steps to full and appetizing
maturity. Fruits and cereals with all
the beauty brought by perpetual sun
shine on irrigated lands are shown by
the Territory.
The "fadies • of New Mexico have
taken an active part in making the
exhibit attractive. The Women's Board
of Trade of Santa Fe has contributed
for the main reception room of the
building a costly filigree table that is
the delight of every lady visitor who
sees it. This table, which is kept in
a glass case, is made of gold and sil
ver and the precious stones found In
the Territory. Silver plate, lace and
other fabrics, all of ancient make,
have been contributed by the Lady
Managers' Auxiliary. There is one lady
manager from each county, appointed
by the gallant Governor Otero and the
board selected Miss Otero for its presi
dent. She has placed an exhibit in the
New Mexico building that, while it has
nothing In particular to do with New
Mexico, draws many curious people. It
Is the coat worn .by Aguinaldo when
he was captured. It Is an ordinary,
white duck garment, such as an Amer
ican barber might wear and was pre
sented to Mrs. Otero by an officer who
was present at the capture and se
cured It.
The Territory's ethnological exhibit
fills all of room 111 In the Anthropol
ogy building, 32x45 feet. A display
of basketry and blanketry is made
that is attracting the attention of
many scientific men.
Of the two bells mentioned, both
were brought from Spain in the fif
teenth century by the Franciscans.
One had been cast many years before.
In them are said to be much gold and
silver that once were ornaments and
many Jewels,; all cast into the molten
metal by the faithful as an earnest of
their devotion. One was used in an
old mission near Santa Fe and belongs
to the New Mexico Historical Society.
The other was found in the ruins of
the Grand Quiveras In Southern New
Mexico. It was recently discovered
by Governor Otero, who borrowed It
for the exposition. It is the one that
was pealing In Spain before Columbus
sailed first

John L. Stock was one of the best
known men in this city and had a host
of friends. In 1&S7 he married Miss
Louise Kraig. The widow and a son,
Lester, 16 years of age, survive him.
His father, John Stock, and two broth
ers and three sisters are also living.
The deceased was a member of the
Knights Templar. A. O. U. W., Royal
Arcanum and the Maccabees.
SAN JOSE, June 17.— John L. Stock,
the senior member of the firm of John
Stock Sons, plumbers and tinners, died
this morning at his home at 117 Vine
street. Stock had been ill for two
years and his death has not been un
expected during the past week. He
was a native of Chicago and 54 years
of aee.
John L. Stock Succumbs to an Illness
Lasting O\-er a Period of
Two Years.
The news has been received here of
the death in Cologne on May 8 of
Baroness Ella von Wrede, wife of
Baron Hermann von Wrede and
mother of the Baroness Ray von
Wrede and Mrs. William B. Brandon.
formerly Kuhr.e Beveridge, the sculp
tor, who is living with her husband in
Johannesburg, South Africa. Death
was due to appendicitis.
The late Baroness was fprmerly
Mrs. Philo Beveridge of Springfield,
111. Ten years ago, after the death of
Be\-eridge, she met and married the
Baron von Wrede in this city.
Baroness von Wrede was well
known In this city, where for a num
ber of year?, during her many ad
versities, she struggled hard to main
tain hersolf and daughter and give the
latter an opportunity to develop her
talent as a sculptor. Her marriage to
Baron von Wrede brought her only
on empty title, for her husband was
without financial means and, in or
der to support his wife, was com
pelled to accept a position as clerk in
the old Baldwin Hotel. Later the
Baron and Baroness went East, where
Kuhne Beveridge realized her ambi
tion in gaining fame in her art, but in
the zenith of her fame she married
and was soon forgotten here.

Chretien became suspicious and then told
m«> that the Van Dlven account should i><*
$491 Instead of the amount first stated. This
slip caused Chretien's downfall. H» was put
under a vigorous interrogation, but denied
that he fcrsed Van Dlven 1 a name. He ex
plained the order by saying he found It on
his desk. He could not tell who put it there
or anything more about It. I had Chretien
sent Into the Jute mill forthwith.
We probably would have known nothing
about it had not Van Dlven complained. Of
course he did not get the actual coin, but
would no doubt have done «o after Van Dlven
left San Quentin. I was always suspicious of
this fellow Chretien, and. In fact, often
watched him closely In various transactions,
but had no direct evidence and could not get
it. He Is now In a place where he cannot do
any more such work. Ilia credits have not
yet been taken away. He had one of the best
positW is held by any convict.
John M. Chretien was for a long time
clerk in the turnkey's office. Subse
quently he was promoted to head book
keeper at the prison.
A convict named Carl Van Dlven. doing »tx
years for burglary, was paroled May 14,
Van Dlven had $491 to his credit. According
to prison accounts he had only $441. He was
$50 ehort. I investigated and found an order
signed ty Van Diven for $50. It was shown
him, but he stoutly denied ever having signed
the order. Captain Swan, who has control of
the convict cash, claimed to know nothing
about it.
Chretien was deprived of his easy
berth as head accountant of the prison
and now suffers the ignominy of work
ing alongside of the most desperate
characters' in the Jute mill. In all
probability he will be required to wear
prison garb for the entire remaining
period of his term. The matter will
be taken up by the State Board of
Prison Directors to-morrow morning.
From circumstances surrounding the
case will not only be denied parole,
but will be deprived of over threa
years' credits.
Chretien cam* to San Quentin De
cember 13, 1900. With credits he would
leave San Quentin the last part of this
year. He will not now be liberated
until June 30, 1907.
Warden Tompklns when Interviewed
tp-nlght, said:
Chretien was sent up for forgery
committed In San Francisco In De
cember, 1900. With only a short time
to serve and with fine chances of being
paroled within a few months, he has
signed another man's name. This time
he attempted to deprive a fellow con
vict of $30 sent him by relatives. By
the merest accident the little game was
foiled.
SAN QUENTIN, June 17.— While
serving a ten-year sentence for forgery-
John M. Chretien has committed the
same crime inside the prison walls for
which he was convicted as a free man.
He has made a fac simile of a signature,
and by so doing came very near obtain
ing a sum of money from a fellow
convict.
Special Dl»r*tch to Tho Call.
The committee then adjourned until
10 o'clock Monday morning, all the con
tests before it having been settled.
Senator Scott of West Virginia to
day issued the 'following, which may
have significance in view of the fact
that Senator Scott has been quoted as
being a candidate for the chairman
ship of the national committee:
"I think that the precedent of the
party should be and will be followed
in the 'selection of a chairman an<5
that the wishes of the candidate for
President will be followed. I am not
informed as to what the President's
wishes are, but we must go into the
campaign united behind the chairman,
whoever he Is."
A resolution was passed to the effect
that the members of the Republican
National Committee from all the States
and Territories and the District of Co
lumbia are instructed to call a meet-
Ing of their respective delegations for
a time not later than the evening of
Monday, June 20, for the selection of
members of the various convention
committees.
A long list of minor employes such
as doorkeepers, reading clerks and
pages was adopted, as reported by the
sub-committee.
While the contest is practically
settled eo far as the national conven
tion Is concerned, the dispute among
the two factions of Wisconsin Repub
licans is not ended. Wisconsin courts
are tp be asked to determine which of
the two State conventions recently
held In Wisconsin was entitled to have
the names cf its nominees for State of
ficers placed on the official ballot under
the regular party name.
The "stalwarts' " delegates at large
who are seated are Senator John C.
Spooner, Senator Joseph V. Quarles,
Congressman J. W. Babcock and Emil
Baensch.
After the national committee had de
cided against the supporters of the
Governor from Wisconsin, the leaders
isi the La Follette side announced their
determination to carry their fight to
the end and it Is probable that in spite
of the decision of the committeemen
that the dispute will again be fought
out befcrre the committee on creden
tials in the national convention.
Missouri and Texas contests were de
cided, in the latter State the Lyon fac
tion winning the delegates at large.
The committee affirmed the report of
the sub-committee in the selection of
temporary officers for the convention.
These will be Charles' W. Johnson of
Minneapolis, secretary; John R. Malloy
of Ohio, first assistant secretary; Elihu
Root, temporary chairman; William E.
Stone, sergeant at arms; David C.
Owens, Milwaukee, first assistant ser
geant at arms.
CHICAGO, June 17.— By unanimous
vote the Republican National Commit
tee decided to seat the delegates at
large from Wisconsin, who are mem
bers of the "stalwart" faction, headed
by United States Senators John C.
Spooner and Joseph V. Quarles and
opposed to the Republicans led by Gov
ernor Robert La Follette.
FORT HAJCCOCK. Texas, June 17.—
Rev. Bryan C. Roach, who was ar
rested here and charged with the em
b<?xzlernent of 5*00 from the Remington
Typewriter Company, made a daring
escape from an officer while being
taken to El Paso for trial. He Jumped
through an open window of the car
while the train was running forty miles
en hour and fled across the river Into
Mexico, where he is in hiding.
Rev. Mr. Roach Is a prominent Meth

TACOMA, June 17.— An information
was to-day filed by Prosecuting Attor

against the "Washington Match Com
pany and its officers to wind up the
corporation's affairs, to declare its
franchise forfeited, to oust the indi
vidual defendants from usurping the
offices of the company and to disburse
the assets among the creditors.
The information recites the organiza
tion of the company three years ago
by Lucius T. Holes, former Congress
man James Hamilton Lewis, Thomas
M. Hopwood and Charles H. O. Jack
son for the ostensible purpose of man
ufacturing matches. It is alleged that
the organization proceeded no further
than the filing of articles, wherein.
Holes, Hopwood, Jackson and Lewis
were elected trustees for the first six
months, Lewis being chosen president.
The capital stock was fixed at $1,200,000
in $5 shares.
The Prqsecuting Attorney avers that
the capital stock has never been sub
scribed except in the following manner:
Hopwood, Hardin, Jackson and Lewis
subscribed one share each for the pur
pose of enabling them to act as officers,
and Holes subscribed all the remaining
shares. Stock to the amount of 5100,000
was sold in the East. No matches were
