TYPOS TO TAX FOR
OLD AGE PENSION
Eight Hour Day Fight- Won..
Union Turns to Task of
Amassing Fund
District Council of Retail Clerks'
Protective Association Is
Organized
SECRETARY
I TCpes|'iyfNco'uNCjr> FRENCH of the San
v *4jfcnagreS§^'^ Francisco typo
graphical union
was notified some time ago by the in
ternational secretary that the payment
of .old age pensions would not com
mence until it was decided to discon
tinue the collection of" assessments for
the purpose of carrying on the eight
hour day fight. At that time it was not
expected that such assessment would be
called off until the latter part of the
year, but yesterday Secretary French
received information from the interna
tional office that the assessment will
be discontinued March J.
When this assessment was first levied
on January 1. 1906, it was 10 per
cent of the wages earned by each
printer In the international jurisdic
tion. Since then, as the eight hour day
fight progressed and the union won, the
amount called for was reduced from
time to time, and at present it is but 1
per cent of the earnings of each mem
ber. By this means the union realized
the enormous sum of $4,000,000, which
was expended in placing every shop in
the United States and Canada on the
eigrht hour basis.
Commencing March 1 one-half of 1 per
rent of the earnings will be collected
"for the purpose of creating and main
taining the old age pension fund. This
will he allowed to accumulate for five
months before any application to draw
from it will be entertained.
The Pacific coast district council of
the retail clerks' international protec
tive association was organized last
Sunday at headquarters, 1422 Steiner
street, by the election of the following
as officers: M. H. Licht of San Fran
cisco, president: J. V. Ruboli of Oakland
and F. Smith of San Rafael, vice presi
dents; E. Solomon of San Francisco,
secretary: E. A. Levy of San Francisco,
treasurer; C T. Walker of Point Rich
mond, sergeant at arms; W. T. Sant of
San Jose and E. J. Malony and J. Che
ney of San Francisco, trustees.
At the meeting there were delegates
from all branches of retail clerks from
this city. San Jose. Oakland, Point Rich
mond and San Rafael. . >>\u0084.
After the adoption of rules to govern
the new association it was announced
that the new body has been brought
Into existence for the purpose of im
proving the condition of retail clerks
throughout the Pacific coast, and it was
decided to communicate with every lo
cal in this state. Oregon and Washing
ton for the purpose of getting them
interested and then become affiliated.
The first regular meeting of the council
will be held in this city the first Sun
day In March. "
Milk wagon drivers" union has ap
pointed a committee to make arrange
ments for a benefit entertainment and
ball to be given March 3 in Mission
rink. This will be in aid of the family
of the late John F. Spillene, a member
of the union, who a short time since,
while delivering milk at the Hlllcrest
apartments, was shot and killed by a
watchman, who mistook him for a
holdup man. The family consists of a
widow and three children, who are In
needy circumstances.
Bakers*< And confectioners' union No.
24. at its meeting last Saturday night,
adopted a number of amendments to its
bylaws. The union Instructed Its mem
bers out of work to not accept any
employment except through the asso
ciation. The secretary is keeping a list
of all the unemployed and furnishes
places in the order of application.
The ball given last Saturday night by
electrical workers' local union No. 537
in Garden rink was a great success, and
it was well attended by the large mem
bership and friends. The rink was a
marvel of pftects in the electric line,
some of them being beautiful in the ex
treme. N .
There was a meeting at Eighth street
and Broadway, Oakland, last night of
the council of teamsters, recently or
ganized, for the purpose of receiving
the report of the first quarter.
MOGAN DECIDES POINT,
UNDER AVENERNEV ACT
Judgments May Be Set Aside
by Persons Claiming
Interest c:
It wa» decided by Judpe Mogan yes
terday in a written opJnlbn that a per
son claiming interest in real property
to which title has been quieted under
the McEnerney act may reopenlthe case
at any time- within 12 months of the
rendering of the Judgment. The point,
which had never been docided directly
by the superior court, was raised in
the case of Lewis I. Cowgill against' all
persons. In October Cowglll secured
judgment quieting title to property in
Washington and Maple streets, stating
that he was the Bole owner. Afterward
Mary C. Bagley, who has lived ', In San
Diego more .than a year, claimed to
own a quarter. interesjt in the land, and
asked to have the; proceedings reopened
on the ground that she was ignorant
of the suit brought by Cowgill. In his
decision granting her application Judge
Mogan said:
.1 hare' no doubt that \u25a0 th* moving party,
hating made application within the year, is
entitled merely upon getting up a meritorious
defense to hhypa vp the Judgment set aside. Were
there any donbt in my mind, however. I (-bonM
not hrsltate to resolve *it In favor of opening
th«* default." Tlie M^Enerney act affords kucli
unlimited opportunity .for divesting owners of
real property of their- title without . personal
notice to them that the courts should ; regard
with favor any application to eet aside a Judg
ment baited upon clainf •of title.

FOOTPAD'S VICTIM
FIGHTS FOR LIFE
Policeman Stipt by Thug Has
; Chance of. Recovery From
Wounds
Man Under Arrest Believed to Be
t)esperate Character With
Dark Record
Policeman E. H. Mills, who was shot
by a suspected footpad while searching
him at Jones street and Golden Gate
avenue Sunday night, was taken to St.
Luke's hospital yesterday morning,
where he is resting easily. He was shot
twice. One bullet . entered the right
breast and the other struck his left
elbow.- Dr. Charles A. Clinton, ; the po
lice surgeon, who is attending him. said
tho bullet went thrQugh the lung., Milts
was in a ward with 20 other patients
and Chief Biggy,. who visited him, or
dered that he be removed to a private
ward. Mills has a 'fighting chance for
his life, unless un-foreseen complica
tions arise. He was. appointed to the
force July 3, 1901, and has a splendid
record. '
The police have been unable to dis
cover anything so far as to the identity
of James Richard Johnson, the man
who shot Mills. Johnson is reticent
and refused to ' give any I information ,
about himself, i He was'woarlng a regu
lar army shirt, which has led to the
suspicion , that he may recently have
been .discharged from Alcatraz prison.
He is over 6 feet tall and says he is
22 years of age, but 'he looks several
years older. He was photographed
yesterday and Detective Sergeant Ed
ward Gibson sent a copy of his photo
graph with his description to 38 cities
throughout the United States for iden
tification. A copy also was sent to Al
ratraz. It was significant that when
Johnson was measured he knew exact
ly what was wanted, which led to a
question as to where he had been meas»
ured before. He growled "Find out."
Johnson may have been one of the
men who held up F. C. Thompson, a
bar tender, at Jones and O'Farrell
streets, a few minutes before the shoot
ing. Johnson Is looked upon by the
police as a dangerous character, and his
remark after being arrested by Pollcfi
men Bralg and Rooney that if he had
known ,he had shot Mills they would
not haVe taken him. bears out that be
lief. Detectives Wren and Riordan ar»
working on the case.
NEPHEW OF MILLIONAIRE
WANTS UNCLE RESTRAINED
Azra A. Coburn Comes to Begin
Action to Have Guardian
Appointed
Azra A. Coburn, nephew of Loren Co
burn, the pioneer lumber millionaire of
the Pescadero region, ov*r whose estate
a legal battle. was begun in the supe
rior court of Redwood City, last Satur
day, was in this city yesterday after
noon to prepare an action to have his
uncle declared Incompetent to handle
the letter's estate, valued at about
$1,000,000, and to have a guardian ap
pointed.
"I am not seeking- th-i appointment
by the court as guardian," said the
younger Coburn yesterday. "I merely
want to see, my uncle protected from
disposing of' his valuable estate in a
ridiculous manner. There is no ques
tion about his being incompetent. Only
a short time ago he deeded away the
rental of valuable school property at
$5 a month to a physician of Pescadero.
Lately he has acquired the belief that
he owns 26 miles of land along the
coast, including '-the 'towns -of Pesca
dero, San.Gregorio and to within one
inile_ of Halfmoon Bay, andhe has ex
ecufed leases to this property to resi
dents of Pescadero in spite" of -the fact
that the property Is not owned by him.
"Seven years ago he gave the exclu
sive right to certain contractors to all
the stumpage on 4,000 acres of red
wood forests and at an exceedingly low
price and with absolutely no limit. The
contractors were finally enjoined."
The trial of Loren Coburn will be re
sumed February 24."

"In these times," said- Carletoti ,C.
Crane, "it is incumbent on, every man
to put up a bold: front so that he can
present an unruffled . aspect before - a
discriminating .world. . thus impressing
the casual observer that the. stringency
of the money market Is not affecting
his mind or his digestion.
. '.'I live up to this idea. At one time,'
when Harrlman gave me an annual
which was of real use, I could assume
the air of " a millionaire, or a railroad
owner, but now I am a plain, humble,
ordinary citizen like John A.' Gill, and
use a commute. -';;.
"I observed that my friend, E. A.
Ellsworth, the wealthy fruit shipper of
Nlles, never comes to town. without a
money sack. The crowds on the boat
look at him with respect. He . is the
object of universal esteem. He told ma
privately that the money, sack contained
specimens of dried apricots.
"I took the hint, so I have procured
a coin sac»k and carry a, log chain. The
other night I inadvertently left it on
the bar. of the boat, and the gentleman
ly bar keeper rushed after me with the
sack and said in a hoarse, • agitated
whisper:
" 'For heaven's sake. Mr. " Crane, do
be more careful. I just . tremble to
think that anything might have hap
pened to that sackful of coin.' "
"William McMurray, general passen
ger agent of the Harrlman lines in Ore
gon, leaves for home tonight. Speak
ing of the rose festival, to take place in
Portland from June. 1 to 6, he said that
It. will be one of the most magnificant
floral displays e\-er held in this country.
The sum of $50,000 has already been
subscribed by the businessmen' of Port
land, and subscriptions are pouring in
from all over the ; state. Invitations
have been extended to all the governors
of the states of the Pacific coast to at
tend the celebration of the feast '"• of
roses, and the fleets of the 'United
States- and England in these waters
have also been invited. One day air the
school children : of Portland will parade
the streets throwing roses and singing
this couplet, which was composed by
McMurray:
Roses fragrant, roses rare;
Roses, roses everywhere. "< ..' •
\u25a0 "We expect several large parties
from California." said McMurray.* ."and
Portland will be only too delighted to
make every. Californian. feel at-home."
Track laying is proceeding, rapidly
on the Mayfield-Los Gatos cutoff, 150
men being at work on the. new line.
Double track has been laid almost Jto
Saratoga avenue west of San Jose and
should reach Lios. Gatos within 30 days.
All bridges and grades have been com
pleted 1 for some time, and the ballast-
Ing is being done at the rate of, 50

of 15,000 people in the territory ad

more people are preparing to move Into

"The traffic agents of some of these

man, "have" the, innocence "of doves,- but
I don't know anything about their wis

Trial of Divorce Case of
Wholesale Shoeman
Further testimony. l in ? support of the
allegations of cruelty upon which Mar
garet M. Nolan is seeking- divorce from
William H. Nolan; the wholesale shoe
man, was given in Judge Graham's
court yesterday. Mrs. Nolan herself,
under cross examination by Attorney
Aitkin, said her, husband's conduct
made her suffer from nervous indiges

his province and' not hers, and that he
had frequently complained about money
matters and had sarcastically: told her
she ought to live with a millionaire. .
'*'_- Anna- C. O'Brien, sister of Mrs. No
lan, told the, court she had seen black
and -blue- marks on the throat of the

thrown a pitcher', of hot water on' hie
wife,, said she remembered her sister's
arm being red and scalded. -
FIA'DS- FAMILY IX TERROR
-V"One day," continued Miss O'Brien. "I
went to my sister's home and found her,
the five children and. the: two servants
in a great state of fear and alarm. They
were all trembling: and crying. "Mr.
Nolan had just left the house after
smashing a glass cabinet into a million
pieces. My sister was frequently
frightened and exhausted ' because of
her 1 husband's treatment. For some
years, 'she was ill and frequently
fainted."
Miss. O'Brien testified that she and
her brother had maintained Mrs. Nolan
since June, 'l9o6. giving her from $90
to $15(T a: month. She !told the court
that the five children of the Nolans
Came to- her once and- asked, for food,
