..pencd last. night with a record crowd
a attendance. That the affair wtcs
' aji unqualified success is stating the
rase mildly.
The Elks Hail, dooated for the
occasion was beautiful dccarated, the
patriotic spirit of the day* being in
terwoven w-ith desigus emblematic of
the Fire Laddies. Large festoons of
bunting, red, white and blue formed
the general color display set off by
the large hook and ladder, boontifulij"
decorated in the same scheme. Amids
these surroundings, the firemen, in
?oMume, put a finishing touch to
the picture.
One other feature, clever, novel
and worthy of mention was the pros
trate form of the famous George
Washington Cherry Tree, heavily
laden with the delicious fruit, having
the appearance of being but lately
struck down, the quivering hatchet
of the Pother of Our Country boi*u
i La evidence still in the bleeding
stump.
At midnight a delicious luncheon
was served whkh was in full keep
ing with the elaborate preparations
made by the Department for the en

out the entire evening two larg.
pu?K* bowls nesting in the bosom
of an iceberg, imported for the oc
casion, glinting in the rays of the j
Tmyrstate nebulae not unlike the
hoautiful Aurora Boreajis of the
North, and presided over by Wrc

As souvenirs of the occasion, the
beautiful programs done hi a green

Ri*hteen dances were reserved on the

Francisco Evening Bulletin has
print, d a special article by Haroid
FYench. until yesterday chemist at
the San Francisco mint, who retires
on a furlough, charging that "tl>e
Taft administration lis preparing to
turn over its bullion refining busi
ness to the Guggenheim smelter
"rust under the pretense of economy,
just as Secretary MacVcfcgh already
has discontinued the coinage of gold
it the behest of Morgan-Aldri. h bank
l- - i.itere- ts.
French declares that he left, his
;ob to expose the plot to the public,
believ ing ii to be his duty. Ho charg
es. in brief, that the San Francisco
mint Is to bo closed, as the Philadel
phia and Denver mints have been
closed, so that the smelting trust may
set the refining of $ 17H.000.000 an
nually, now done by tie government
mints. This, French charges, is to
be done under pretense of economy,
hut he asserts that lit Is realty a
>dsantic graft scheme.
To accomplish the actieme. French
charges, Aldrich placed his protege.
A. Piatt Andrews. In charge of mint
affairs and that later Secretary Mac
Vearh made him first assistant of
tbo treasury. He asserts that An
drew "borrowed" Chiei! Chemtet M;n
deleff. of the smelter trust, to report
on mint methods and that tho chance
of the Taft policy wast made on the
strength of his report.
