On all sides the mem bers* express themselves pleased at be ing- permitted to ride on streetcars, but at the same time they complain that the United ' Railroads company does not provide enough cars to accommo date the many who want to ride, es pecially those going to or coming from work. Now that the buses have been taken off,, they have no alternative but to crovrd upon the cars or walk. It is probable that the subject will be brought up in several unions within a week. Typographical union No. 21 has handed a check for $1,000 to the general strike committee. - This makes a total ot $2,350 that this union has' contributed to the fund for the assistance of the men on strike. '\u25a0\u25a0 ;."•\u25a0.\u25a0 The Vallejo trades and labor council has already taken steps looking to the proper entertainment of the officers and delegates to the state federation of labor, which is to meet in that city on tlie first Monday in January. This will be done through a committee composed of delegates from each union affiliated with the council. Arthur Inman has been elected chairman and D. H. Levitt ' secretary of the committee. It is ex pected that 400 delegates will sit in the. convention. Thomas Silas was elected sergeant at arms of, the council and A. B." Clark was appointed to the committee on law and legislatipn'.^ George Dunn, president of the inter national union of boiler'' makers, ar rived last evening from Kansas . City. The object of his visit is to investi gate the trouble of the local boiler makers, who, although a part of the iron trades council, refused to sign the agreement entered Into. some time ago between the metal, trades association and the iron trades council. After the refusal to sign the agreement the iron works requiring boiler makers offered to employ the men who were out and pay them a minimum wage of $4 a day for eight hours and to" pay Up to $5 a day to such men as were worth that wage, but the men refused the offer, insisting on a uniform rate of $4.50 a day. President Dunn said last night that he had come here to Investigate conditions, but declined to discuss any phase of the trouble or Intimate what he proposed doing. The housesmiths-, at their meeting In Sheet Metal Workers' hall last night; removed the fine penalty to enable Its members to ride on the cars. This union has selected a ball team that will play the Ramblers at a date to be fixed for the benefit of the late J. J. Peterson's _ mother, whose sole sup port h© was. \u25a0 >" - • \u25a0' -•'.\u25a0"*•.;/ SHAKEUP IN POLICE CIRCLES IS CONTINUED Sergeant Coogan Assigned to Take Charge of the City Prison » Chief Biggy made another change yesterday morning by^ Issuing /in order to company commanders that Sergeant Clarence Coogan - ( had been appointed prison keeper, to take effect at 2p. m.. vice Sergeant Shadrach Campbell, transferred to Company F, Golden Gate park station. Coogan's health has not been good for some years and as he feared that the fpul smelling city pjison would bis injuriius to him he asked the chief to cancel the order, but was persuaded to give the new position a trial and he took charge at the hour named. Sergeant Coogan Joined the force on November 14, 1890, and was made a ; sergeant on January 12, 1898; For some time he has been assigned to station duty at the Golden Gate park station. He always has shown himself to' be an efficient and courteous officer and his selection to fill the important; post of prison keeper, although not increasing his salary, is, says Chief Biggy, a de served recognition of his meritorious services In the past and in the best In terests of the department. .' It is considered that before the end of this ;week orders will be issued ap pointing Captain Kelly ,of Company, G to be head of the detective department, vice Colby, transferred « to Company G, and- also appointing Sergeant John J. O'Meara as the chiefs clerk. •\u25a0 ....-\u25a0. \ \u25a0- \u25a0 RESENTS IXSULTTO WIFE Howard McKay, an; agent,, went Into a cigar store In Flllmore* street near Post, on Tuesday- nig:it, leaving his wife outside for a moment.

WHO WILL APPEAR IN THE TITLE ROLE OF "SALOMY JANE" AT THE VAN NESS THE ATER NEXT MONDAY. . : Jessie Izett, who plays the title part of "Salomy Jane" next week at the Van Ness theater, Ms best" remembered here through her splendid acting in Isabel Irving's production of "Susan in Search of a Husband." ' She is a young woman of rare dramatic attainments and in "Salomy Jane" Is said to have a char-, acter for which she is especially fitted physically and by. temperament. . ' . Paul Armstrong wrote the play and credits Bret Harte's. "Salomy Jane's Kiss" for the suggestion of his plot. But he is said to have a story, of swift, tense action and deep, passionat'e'.lo.ve that is all his own., Scenically, it is a series o.f erigrosslngly beautiful, stage pictures. ' The., first;.- act is one .of rthe most; picturesque and elaborate seen : in years. It . fills tl^e entire stage from wall to wall and with its huge, redwoods and beautiful foliage is extremely realfstic. This week is . being rounded 'out . at the Van Ness with "The Prince of Pil sen," and the attendance is good. Mabel Cameron, a San Francisco girl, who has won stage honors in the east, heads the selected. cast that is to pre sent "The . Three of Us" next week* at the Novelty theater. This play; by Rachel' Crothers; is said to, possess un usual human Interest and' remarkable naturalness. The .author ' has over turned a, number, of traditions of ; the' stage and come near to presenting & picture of real life. The heroine is a young I woman of : modern type, who manages "her rather . intricate affairs with v skill and dlplomacy,',"and is^in no way the impossible creature that" is fre quently presented by j dramatists. -An other Interesting character, is a' villain, who is altogether possible. ;: Every one will "\u25a0\u25a0 like him and many will be dis appointed that he, is not the' successful suitori of -^he girl in»the case.'
