The next clause object) to by the Kill-porium Company was the signing of an agree-inert at lime In the jeur sek.d the union, like the day of 'I hey held thsl If tln.y should sign at I'll, the beginning ut the leur was the proper lime, to do so, 1 think thty ar perfectly right, in tin Ii' contention, and therefore decide that when the agreement Is signed it shall date from the first day of Jaiiuai), l's'3, und continue iu fine for one year fioin that date.

1 1 1 i the employment of union moi onl, I have given very careful eonslib ration lo ihe same, and after weighing the and coiitentiout o( both side have arrived at this conclusion. I have frameu Hie ktcllon to tesd tins: No member of this union shitll work with a lion-uniim driver, provld.d, however, the union Is uhle to flil the vacancy. But when a nan I certified to the employer from the union, the inplnyer shall have i lie right to nject the so certified, provided he le not satisfactory lo hint. I'i at any lime the union Is unable to furnish sullielent help iiitlsfue-lory to the emplojrr, or If the employer d- ill. --a nk.

mm wn. i i i Sires tr engage some specially irnrusiea em ployee if, act In the capacity or driver, lie u.uy engage such unn tiol member of the union, but nil such men to employed shall become meiiibeij of this union within two wc.ka after ing so employed. I this position rclntivw to the union men because 1 believe It In a way to avoid any friction or misunderstanding In the future hete-ween employer and employee, 1 believe that It is perfectly fair that the union men should d. slrc to have all drivers members of th. ir union, because this wilt give them con irui over them ai individuals and avoid the friction that would necessarily eJisue between union and non-union einploytv working sldo by hide.

At the same time. I also believe that rlie employers should have the right to say whom tney should employ, and If the names certified to from the union were not eatlsfactorj, that they should have the right, to choose one In whom they hud every confluence, and that the one so chosen could be tuken Into the union within a reasonable period of two weeks from such lime of employment. The Mayor's decision in the controversy Is final, both eidei having signed a positive agreement beforehand tu that effect. HchmlU rendered his decision yesterday as orbltrator of ihe dispute between Hie Kinporlum Company and the Retail drivers' I'nlon. Concessions are made to the company in the matter of holiday work and on one or two other points, but the de-ilxloti Is chiefly for the workmen.

Following Is the Mayor's decision as sent 10 both parties: (ietitlemen: After very careful dellh. ration over the qutlnim submitted to me by bulb ilde of the controversy between the Km-prolum Company Han Francisco and the numbers of tne Retail Driven' Union, Local No. I hive roine to the following conclusion, and herewith send you this com 11 mi I' Ht ion si my deelalon In tho mum and ask that both sides r.lgn the tame; As there ire only three section of the submitted to the Emporium Coiupuny objected to by that company, I will simply state the conclusion that 1 have arrived at torn hlng thi.se point only, as the other artu re agreed upon, For holiday, the union asks Hint New Year's Ds Fourth nf July ijibor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Clirlstiims Day shall he observed as holidays of this ut Inn, and that no reduction In wasea shall be msde for Iho mme. Also, that no reduction shall be mads In a week's wages fur any legal holiday during the year. As the employers are engaged by the week and month, and not by the day, I do not think that any reduction In wages should be made when It gal holidays occur.

At the same time. I do not believe (hat the employers should have left on their hands large quantities of goods which could not hive been delivered llip day before, aod would very much crowd the work the day after If no dellverlei were made on therefore, change that section to read follows- New Year's Day, Fourth of July, Labor Bay. Thanksgiving liny and Chrlslmu Day shall he observed as legal holidays by this iinkii, and no reduction In wages shall be made by the same, but the union employees, ugrcu to make one epanup trip when required to do so by the employer on ill the holidays mentioned, It being understood and agreed that the trip shall not be made Inter than o'eln In the morning If this trip Is not required on holi sum of." The name of the periodical was also changed. Armed with this the collector was ready In four or five months' time to make out and present a fresh bill and relying upon the forgetfulness of the members of the firm, usually atlcceeded In collecting the money and preparing the way for another fictitious contract.

Miss Matilda Kratzer. aged seventeen, testified that at the special invitation of Mrs. Tlngley she and her mother and twelve-year-old sister had moved to the homestead at Point Loma, where the mother was to have a quiet home forever, nud she (Matilda) was to educated.

Mrs. Emily Penning of Los Angeles was asked to "state whether or not you ever heard Mrs. Tingley deliver a lecture In Los Angeles in which she elated that disaster and ruin and trouble would follow any one who withdrew from the society?" "Yes, sir, I did," she answered. "And Ehe mentioned, alao.

the case of a man in India who had had twenty-two foils, growing out of his leaving the society. And he died from the ejects of it. And thp samel thing would likely happen to any of us if we withdrew." Mrs. Penning testified that frequently, between midnight and dawn, at Point Loma homestead, the men and women members cf the brotherhood were obliged- to sit on the floor, without support, for hours, waiting for the appearance of Mrs. Tingley, and that after she had appeared and made a brief talk of no particular consequence they would some of them go back to their beds to gel rest.

Silence as imposed during those hours of waiting for the appearance of the Purple Mother. Morning meditations were held regularly, when the members sat silence with finger on lips.

Point Loma. Mr. Hilliker, testifying in answer to a further question, said: "Kut the main import of what Mrs.

Tingley told us wis that the Raja Yoga school was conducted by secret masters that we would never, probably, be able to come into the presence of; and if we did we would not dare to touch them, because the shock would be so much like an electric shock that It would burn us up." Witness testified that Mrs. Tingley's sub-officers were under orders to recover and burn all papers in the possession of members wo had left the fold which related In any way to their former membership and these deserters were, by instructions snubbed on the street when met by persons remaining In the ranks. "Mr. Hilliker, did you ever hear Mrs Tingley at any of her meetings mab reference to the disaster that would follow and pursue any one who left the society0" "Oh. yes; she said there were dark forces and light forces.

The scheme worked by Hayes and his confederates, for he had two or three, was simple, effective and remunerative, and has been played successfully for at least a year, probably longer and probably also In other cities. He appeared usually as the collector, while one or other of his confederates was a solicitor for advertising' to be published. ostensibly, In some sort of ningaalne, directory, gajsetner, manual or other publication of that class. The solicitor would go to a large firm that was likely to indulge In an occasional write- up and after agreeing to publish an Illus trated artllde would obtain a contract In the usual form, reading as follows; Contrnft No. Nenm.

However, ot-talned bis order and for ilx or eight months nothing would be heard of him or his book; then all at once the collector would appear and present the bill Ith contract attached to It. As the contract was months old the cashier would presume, or even the head of the house would suppose, that the article had been published, and so the first amount of money would be obtained. If any Question were raised about the publication the man presenting the bill was ready with the statement that he was "only the collector," but he had been told the book as published four or five months ago. Then he would turn the contract over and discover penciled on the back the words "Hook delivered and approved O'Connor." If asked who was the collector promptly an-sweredj "I don't know; I think he is the manager for the publishing house." And so without much trouble the money was usually forthcoming.

The collector would pull out a little printed slip the same size as the contract, and, stating that It was merely a certificate showing that the firm had on that day paid so much money, he would fill out In pencil the dates In a blank worded like the following: 4 AUTHOR l.F.I) COXTH ACT.

In thife days of the Wagner cult, musical realism, tone color and all tho ret of the refinements by hich pwople that know eu- donor to express and describe the emo-j Hens that music arouses, It may be in ex-, hlLltiou plebeian taste to admire Intensely the sextet from Itonizettl and yet piayeu as It was played by Slgnorl Uemitrls, Natale, Marino. Curtl, Greco nml 1)1 Futvlo, it was nothing short of electrifying. 8ueh masterly playing haB never been henrd before In this city, even though the music stirs indefinable emotions where, according to the canons of the modern fuuslcal realist it should speak In language that can readily Interpreted. The vo.ume, the harmony, the blending of sweet souuds, the exquisitely attuned instruments, the modulations and variations of tone and the final magnificent burst of crashing melody were enough for any one ho claimed to be nothing more than a music lover.

In that one number the audience was repaid in pleasure full and overflow ing measure. The programme was of a popular rather than a classical order. But one numner could be placed really In the latter class "Tannhauser" pilgrims' choruB, from Wagner's fumom opera. Of the lighter class of modem music there was "Intel mezzo," from tho "Caval-lerin," and of the lees modern, but always attractive operatic music there was the' overture to "William Tell" and the sextet already mentioned. The opening number, was Emlllo Ul-vela's new march, "Goiden date," dedicated to Pan Francisco.

It is a catchy, showy little march that Is apt to become a popular band piece. The "Tell" overture always wins a friendly hearing. It is within the reach nf every one who has a liking for tuneful music and is not too full the mathematics of heavy orchestratl to make it struggle to understand. Wlgnor Pnlmn played Stephen Adams' popular song, "The Holy City." and gave a pretty, melodious encore. The "Cavalleria" Intermezzo, performed with much delicacy, followed and then came the sextet.

The second half of the programme opened with Holzmann's "Blaze Away" march not the highest order of music, but lively and liisplrating. In sharp contrast to it was the pilgrims' chorus, with its deep melodhs and classical, masterly orrivestratlon, magnificent in tone and splendidly rendered. Hlgnor Borghese gave a barytone solo. The closing number of the programme was Herbert's "American Fantasie," with solos by Slgnorl Ferullo and Lamonaca. It rounded out a most entertaining programme.
