SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3. As the
count of ballots cast at yesterday's
election' proceeds slowly today it is
estimated that Francis J. Honey, the
graft prosecutor, has heen beaten by
over 10,000 majority by Charles M.
Flckert, Republican and Union Labor
candldate for District Attorney. For
mayor P. H. McCarthy, Union Labor
candidate, has defeated W. M. Crock
er, Republican, and Dr. T. B. Leland,
Democrat. His plurality is about 8,
000. The board of supervisors will
probably stand as follows: Union
Labor men, 10; Republicans, 5, and
Democrats, 3.
Kevolt Against Closed Town.
This remarkable result shows that
there has been a widespread revolt
aealnst the methods of Heney and '
the present local administration, '
which is In the hands of civic reform-!
era. These men have thrown out "
slot machines from cigar stores and '
saloons, have been largely instrumen
tal in killing betting on the race
track, have shut pool rooms and put
t"V lid on the town that tor years
has been wide open. The result is
they ruined the business of many
small dealers.
In addition to this, Heney spent
thousands of public money In the fu
tile prosecution of Patrick Calhoun ;
and other big business men, while I
his Intemperate methods in court '
caused reversals of his conviction of
Ruef and Schmitz.
McCarthy, as leader of the Union
labor forces, has used all of those
facts very skillfully in his campaign,
with the result that he soeured nil
the saloon, tenderloin and gambling
vote, together with the vote of
thousands of smnl! shopkeepers.
' ' McCarthy's Record.
Mrivttrthy has been tho head and
front of labor unionism in San Fran
cisco for 14 years. He Is an Irish
man. 46 years of age, who came to
America In 18S1. He was a carpen
ter and In 1894 organized, the San
tnclsco Building Trades Council,
P which he has been president ever
since. He Is also head of the State
Building Trades Council.
Since 1881 McCarthy has devoted
much time to Industrial and civic af
fairs. He was a member of the char
ter convention and the Board of
Freeholders which drafted the city
charter. He was a member of the
Civil Service Commission for four
years, having been appointed In 1900.
He was the Union Labor candidate
for. mayor In 1907, but was beaten by
Taylor. McCarthy sought offlee on a
platform which promised a business
man's administration of city affairs.
dltures, only three Tammany candi
dates were elected, as against 13
FusionistB.
Giuynor His Own Master.
Judge Gaynor, who now becomes
mayor of Greater New York, was
elected on the strength of hlB person
al record as a jurist and his stand for
personal liberty and a liberal Sunday.
Although the Tammany candidate, he
maintained throughout the campaign
that no boss shall dictate to him, and
one of his favorite remarks was that
If there was to be any swallowing
between him and the Tiger he ulti
mately would be found on the out
side. Gaynor was prominently men
tioned as a Democratic Vice-Presidential
possibility last year, and In 1894
he declined the nomination for gov
ernor. He has been a near-candidate
for mayor of New York for years,
but, as he expressed himself to his
friends, he wanted to be sure of
election to be elected mayor and
then governor, with a view of becom
ing President of the United States.
Target of Hitter Assaults.
Backed by Tammany In the cam
paign just ended, Gaynor was bitterly
assailed by pulpit and bar, not to
mention the attacks of Hearst, who
repudiated him after having agreed
to support him. .
District Attorney Jerome called
him a "political charlatan, shown in
the past to be totally destitute of
political courage and whose erratic
ability Is tinged with a morbidness
which Is almost akin to insanity a
combination of a demagogue and
fanatic."
Gaynor supported Bryan In his first
campaign and Hearst for governor
In 1906. He Is 58 years old, mar
ried, and father of eight children.
He firBt nttaiued prominence In con
nection with a taxpayer's suit, which
he caused to be brought against Hugh
McLaughlin, one-time Democratic
boss of Brooklyn, in the course of
which he saved the city (1,000,000.
In a similar suit agalnBt the Brook
lyn Elevated Rnllways he collected
another million for the city in back
taxes. In 1893 he was elected to the
State Supreme Court, and, while a
member of that court, he broke the
power of John Y. McKane. boss of
Coney Island, and sent him to Sing
Ring for election frauds.

Rotan district attorney on the Re

His opponent was Dr. Clarence Gib
bony, long a leader of the reform
element and well known by his con
nection with the law and order so

lican candidate, Tom L. Johnson,
four times mayor of Cleveland, an
nounced today that he would again

Ilnehr's plurality is about 5.000.
With Johnson's downfall went the
lmlft or the Democratic ticket, those
eouneilmen who have been conspicu
ous in tneir support of tho street rail
ways programme suffering most.
The election of Baehr Is believed
to mean a certain settlement of the
long street railway war which John
son began eight years ago when he
demanded a 3-cent fare. Baehr has
pledged himself to a settlement on
the basis of a 6 per cent return on
the stock of the Cleveland Railway
Comnany. all earnings over that to
go to the reduction of fare and the
Improvement of service. The com
pany has nccepted these terms and
Mayor Johnson has tentatively done
so, reserving the right to fight the
settlement at a referendum election.

In Jacksonville, which already was

place. The saloon forces had per
fected one of the most compact or
ganizations ever experienced in Mor

the city by 102 votes compared with

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 3.
Samuel LewiB Shanks, the auction
eer candidate of the Republicans,
who began business as a driver of a
grocery wagon, was elected mayor
of this city yesterday by a majority
of 1 GOO over Charles Gauss', his
Democratic opponent.
The result is a distinct victory for
the Prohibition and reform element,
as It was considered that the brew
eries would control the city in the
event of Gauss' election.
Thomas Taggart wan very active In
behalf of Gauss and the Democratic
candidate had unlimited funds back
of him.

(Continued on page 4.)
As In the case of Frank C. Kolsey,
his immediate predecessor, John M.
Hartong, Roseburg's retiring city
engineer, has been ushered out of
otiice under a controversy. The sub
ject of dispute Is a group of claims
aggregating (25.50, representing ex
pense incurred through au erronous
sidewalk grade established by one of
Hartong s subordinates, F. C. Frear,
in front of Wm. Knopp's property in
North Roseburg. Itemized, the
clainiB are ns follows: For lowering
the walk after the grade had been
corrected, J. F. Clements $12 and W.
13. Oden $9.50: for lumber wasted in
conforming to the first grade, Wm.
Knopp $4.
Rejecting, by a vote of 8 to 1, a
compromise recommended by a com
mittee, the eity council, in adjourned
session Tuesday night, then voted
unanimously to hold Hartong person
ally responsible for the entire sum
of $25.50. Against this bill Hartong
presented a claim for $20, of which
$15 were for services on last Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday; the balance
waB for engineering tools lost or
damaged by city employees in his
department. From the total of $20,
Hartong had deducted $12.75, or one
half of the expense accruing from the
surveying blunder, leaving a balance
due him, from his standpoint, of
$7.25. When the council finished
auditing, however, there was a bal
ance of $10.50 in favor of the city.
In deducting $1 2.75 from his
claim, Hartong conformed to a rec
ommendation of a committee com
posed of Mullen. Strong and Joseph
son that the city pay one-half of the
amount Involved and Ilurtong the
other half. In Its report containing
this recommendation, the committee
explained that the engineer was
supervising Btreet paving work at the
time the sidewalk survey was made,
but that they "believed he was ofil-
clally responsible. Of the commit
tee only Mullen was present at the
meeting, and he stated that the com
m it tee had done the very best it
could under the circumstances to
"avoid trouble.
Micelll quoted Hartong as having
said that neither the city nor any
property owner would ever pay for
any of his errors. He argued that
the matter did not permit of a com
promise. Such a measure, be said,
was half right and half wrong. Mc-
Clallen contended that If Hartong
was at fault to the extent that he was
liable for half of the expense then he
was liable for all of ft. It was on
motion of McClallen that the report
of the committee, recommending the
compromise, was disapproved. Mul
len cast the only negative vote.
By a unanimous vote the council
then refused to allow the $5 Item in
Harton's counter claim for lost and
damaged tools. For his last three
days of labor, however, the council,
by a vote of 7 to 2, allowed his claim
of $15. McClallen and Jones voted
"no." McClallen objected to paying
Hartong for work on last Sunday.
This was the last day of October, and
McClallen maintained that the en
gineer was not entitled to extra pay
for Sunday when he was on a month
ly salary. He declared that Hartong'j
only object in presenting the bill was
to counteract the claim of the city.
The status of the matter up to this
juncture was that Hartong owed the
city $25.50 and the city owed him
$15, a difference of $10.50 In the
city's favor, according to the coun
cil's adjustment. The finale of the
whole proceeding was that the re
corder was Instructed not to issue a
warrant In favor of Mr. Hartong, but.
Instead, to send hlrn a bill for $ 1 0.54.
The salary warrant of F. C. Frear,
which has been held In abeyance
pending settlement of this matter,
was ordered to be paid.
Hartong left Tuesday night for
Portland, where he will locate. He '
did not know of the council's action, i
and it is a matter of speculation as
to how he will look upon the coun-i
cfl'a adjustment when he learns of it. !
In any event the city will receive the 1
$10.50. Councilman Micelll having
agreed to stand good for the amount
pursuant to an understanding which
he reached with Hartong when the
engineer received a warrant for his
October salary. .

costing the city a total of $60 per
month.
Micelll stated that he favored the
city paying the $120 rate, but not the
extra $40 for renewals. At the rate
which other expenses of the city
were Increasing, he said, the city
couldn't afford this extra sum. Most
of the other eouneilmen shared this
view, aud it was the seutlment that
the council defer action on the mat
ter until the expense of renewals
could be provided for from some
other source outside of the city
treasury.

The council ratified the purchase
by a committee of au Austin street

tan broom for the street sweeper.
in a report submitted by the street
cleaning committee, it was recom
mended that the city buy a steel gar
bage wagon, somewhat after the type
used by the Warren Construction Co.
In hauling paving material. The
committee also recommended that
cans for the reception of garbage be
placed at convenient points through
out the city aud that all existing ob
structions ou the paved streets bo
removed at once. Committeeman
McClallen made an oral report that
one bid of $120 per month had been
received ror sprinkling and cleaning
the streets at regular Intervals. He
ulso stated that an estimate of the
cost or building a shed In which to
house the street cleaning apparatus
would be submitted at tho next regu
lar meeting.
The report was placed on file for
future action. More bidB will be ob
tained for street ctoanlug work in
the meantime.
Mayor Hnynes announced that he
had Instructed Marshal Uuffmau to
strictly enforce the ordinance pro
hibiting obstruction of tho sidewalks
and streets. He gave notice that
people would have to take care of
their garbage until the city could
provide me dumping cans recom
mended by the committee.
SENATOR J FOLLETTE
REACHES ROSEBl'RG.
Robert Marlon La Follette, United
States Senator from Wisconsin, is a
guest at the Hotel McClallen today.
He speaks tonight at the armory, and
his address will deal with the tariff
revision farce and the control of the
government by unscrupulous corpor
ations. Senator La Follette is a man of
national reputation. Although a
Republican, he belongs to the reform
element of his- party commonly known
as "Insurgents." His two most con
spicuous qualities are his ability as
an orator and his ability as a politi
cal organizer.
From 1885 to 1891. La Follette
was a representative in Congress. As
a member of the Wa'B nnd Means
Commtttue he had a prominent part
in framing the McKluloy tariff bill.
In 1901 he was elected Governor of
Wisconsin nnd continued In that
olllce until chosen senator. During
his term as governor he gave especial
attention to legislation nffecting rall-
roads and was most active in securing
laws in Wisconsin to curb the alleged
abuses of tho railroads and other big
corporations, He wn one of the first
to advocate the control of railroad
rates within the stnte by a state com
mission and he brought about the
adoption of a measure to tux rntlrond
property by the same system and at
the samo rate as other taxable prop
erty. Ho also led a movement to
nomlnnto all candidates by direct
voto, which wns enacted Into law by
the Wisconsin legislature in 1904.
