His present quarters are at the northwest corner of Broadway and Eleventh street, where he has established a fine emporium and where he is known to the trade and a large circle of patrons as "The Hub Clothier." Despite the engrossments of business, Mr. Jonas has found time to pay attention to public affairs and has done so with happy results, in a special manner through the agency of the Merchants' Exchange, of which he has been a very zealous member. He has served on the Ways and Means, the Manufacturing, the Street Improvement, the Consolidation and Tunnel committees, as also the Advisory Committee to the Board of Public Works. He has for five years also worked faithfully on the Fourth of July Committee! He Is active, earnest, energetic and in favor of progress and wilL hereafter be all the more able to aid in public advancement and progress by reason of the fact that his son, Irving, now a popular young business man, is aiding him in his conduct of the Hub Clothing Store.

Cary of Oakland owes her $100,000 damages br trifling with her heart and disdaining her hand after he had promised to make her his wife. More than that, she stales that when, on February 23. 1901, In Chicago he" induced her to promise to marry him, he already a married man, but falsely and fraudulently represented to hvthat he was a bachelor. Then she goes on to state that on March 4. 1901, he was divorced from -his wife and -since then married another woman, forgetful of his ante-divorce vows of fealty to the plaintiff.

Since that event the slighted Leona has remained single, she says, and always ready to fulfill the promise she made to Cary In Chicago. The plaintiff, who is a circus performer, first sued defendant in Chicago snd again in Oakland, but lost in each instance. REPORTS GREATLY EXAGGERATED RIO JANEIRO, May 11. Reports from Europe received here show that the bor-' der skirmishes which have been going on between the Peruvian and Brazilian trnors In the Alto Funis and Alto Jurua diKliicts have been rldicuously exaggerated. The Associated Press correspondent is authorised by the Brazilian Government to say that sucqessful negotiation for an amicable settlement between the two governments are fully expected.

The departure of the Peruvian Minister to Km zii was purely a personal matter and without any political significance. PIEDMONT IMPROVERS. The Piedmont District Improvement Club met last evening at t)ak Chapel, Piedmont. The president, of-the dob, M. M.

Marnet was I the chair. The principal bsiness of the evening was the report of members who. have been canvassing the district in behalf of the Cemetery Creek sewer. Good results had been obtained by many of the members but some of the smaller holders were backward incoming in and $the members were shown how necessary it -was for every one in the district to join in as the City Council ha-d decided to make the cross-town sewer along East Moss avenue and this would prevent for all time the construction -of the creek sewer by private efforts unless the residents Of the locality affected showed that they were determined to build the sewer for themselves. Thin can Annn iin.r the arrangements made.

This can foe maae ior ten cents per jrront root while the lowest that the Council can construct the same for would be at least thirty cents for the same extent. LIVERPOOL FIRM SUSPENDS. LIVERPOOL, i May 11. John Carter and Company, provision merchants i here, suspended payment late yesterday. QUEEN The annual election of officers of the Merchants' Exchange was held last night in the rooms of the organization in the Central Bank Building and from the views expressed there the most auspicious year in "the history of the Exchange was begun.

A. Jonas we3 elected president, A. H. Schlueter, vice president; Wpilbye, treasurer and "Yfalbur Walker, secretary. The board of directors 'elected waa as follows: George, W.

Arper, R. M. Brlare, D. C. BrowrC J.

L. Champlln, H. C. Coward, F. G.

Eiben, F. M. Farwell, Herman Gard, Theo. Gler, George Hoffman, A. Jonas, F.

Sanborn, A. H. Schlueter, Fred Sinclair, J. F. Sohst W.

H. "Wellbye, H. G. Williams, J. S.

Wlxson, E. A. Young, Wilbur Walker. The scene of the seating of President Jonas was one of moment to the Exchange, Jj the year just passed the work of building the Inter-county tunnel has been completed under the direct care of the Exchange and at the present time the Exchange has the responsibility of the Alameda county exhibit at the World's Fair at St. Louis.

With the importance of the work the organization has on hand the change of officers at this time it was felt could, only be compensated by the fact that President Jonas could safely be Installed into the office as his Ion service in the organization peculiarly fitted him for the position. For President Gler, who has just been succeeded, the kindest sentiments are expressed by the members. In the two terms he has been at the head of the Exchange, the organization has seen its greatest growth and from a body which was formerly one little more than of an advisory capacity it has developed into one that has taken charge of large financial enterprises and carried them through to a successful conclusion. The meeting was called to order last night by President Theo. Gler for the last time.

The minutes were read and approved and then the reports of the committees were called for. In response A. Jonas said that as chairman of the Banquet Committee he could say that everything was in readiness for the festivities which will mark the Inauguration of the new officers at the banquet to be held at the Metropole Hotel tonight. He announced that it was expected that Governor George C. Pardee would be there and address tjie METHODISTS ARE PREPARING FOR A SPIRITED DEBATE.

LOS ANGELES, May 11. The present indications are that the heresy charges which have been made, against several Individuals' high in the councils of Methodism aredestiiied to provoke a spirited conflict among the delegates to the Methodist General Conference before a final settlement of ftie controversy is reached. The committee on education has appointed a sub-committee, who will have consideration of thf important matter. The question as to whether this sub-committee shall have power to call before It persons upon whose testimony will be decided the charges of heresy and papers bearing upon the subject evoked a vigorous contest in the main committee. After much debate the sub-committee was finally voted the power of a board of inquiry and will hear all the evidence bearing upon this subject.

Memorials on these charges have been received from the Columbia River, Southern Illinois and Swedish conferences, asking: for an examination into the orthodoxy of books in use in Methodist schools and of the professors in several of the faculties. Members of the Rock River Conference sent in a memorial asking the Board of Bishops to refuse to confirm the appointment of professors whose orthodoxy there was reasonable grounds for doubt. All of these memorials and- others of similar importance were referred to the sub-committee. Three prominent educators on the committee who are standing together on the ground that theology in -the Methodist schools is safe and sound are Chancellor J. R.

Day of Syracuse. President Charles J. Little of Garrett Biblical Institute and Secretary W. F. McPowell of the Board of Education.

In addition to their opposition to the heresy charges, these men are also exercising a strong influence in blocking Bishop McCabe's. plan; to open tne American university before the Jo, 000,000 endowment is seeured. Their con tentions against these two important causes are made more interesting by the fact that the three gentlemen named are all prominent candidates for' bishopric honors. They represent the aggressive element in the educational department vi tne, cnurcn ana. as tney win or lose, the question of liberal or conservative policies in tee cnurcn may largely be de termined.

The report of the committee on rules of order, being a special order of the day, was taken up by the general conference this morning immediately after devotional exercises. The report was presented by ui. xj. ixeauy, cnairman or tne committee, and the consideration of the adoption of the various paratranhs in whlrh several changes were suggested resulted in a aeDaie wnicn was at times spirited. Many of the parliamentary experts, including Senator McClellan of New York Dr JVM.

Buckley. Dr. Neally and Dr. Bristol were in sharp conflict of opinion on technical points and the conference was greatly interested in these sharp passages at arms. The paragraph under the head of "Order of Business." which makes special reference to the disposition of all motions and resolutions that Coma before the conference upon the call of the roll of annual i conferences, was especially productive of clashing opinion.

When the conference took a recess the report of the committee on rules was only about half finished. WARSHIPS AT HAYT1. BERLIN, May 11.

The speaker also called the attention of the Exchangeto the matter of wires along the avenue and said that It would take an energetic fight to get the telephone, telegraph and electric companies to lay them underground. He hoped, however, that, this could be accomplished. Wagner's attention was called to the fact that the Exchange had a committee appointed for the express purpose of looking after this matter and in response Chairman of the Committee Schlueter said that he would be only too happy to do all in his power to effect this work.

A telegram was read from World's Fair Commissioner Weilbye which Btated that Alameda County was one of the few counties to have a complete exhibit installed for the opening of the fain and that the display had called forth general admiration from the thousamls of people who had viewed it, After the seating of the new officers the of the River and Harbor Convention to be held at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, May 24, was called to the attention of the directors and it was suggested that the delegates should be appointed at once as this had -been asked for by the different bodies which had Issued the call for the convention.

objectionable feature on the grounds. Already, on account of the well-governed order preserved, mothers and children ha-e selected Idora Park as the most favorable spot for a dajs outing.

The zig-zag alley has furnished much amusement and whether a ball eamc Is in progress on the diamond or a 'party of pleasure-seekers is taking a day of rest from the heat and worry of the town, the laughing grotto, as the zigzag is called, is the scene of laughter, fun and frolic.
