San Francieco, Sept. 19 The Republican municipal convention was turned into a free-for-all fight tonight. Delegates fought on the floor of the big auditorium, on the etage, and in the .antc-rooms. Great groups of politicians wrestled on the floor, driving their fists into eachothers faces, and sprinkling the woodwork with blood. To add to the turbulence the deputy sher iffs and the police summoned to restore order fought with each oth er. . - .-' The warring factions were the reform delegates and the followers of Reuf. When the smoke of bat tie cleared away, the reformers held the fort, After quiet had been en' tirely restored the reformers pro ceeded to put through their pro gramme, calling for fusion with the democrats denouncing Schmi'z and Ruef in scathing terms. There was a rumor early in the day that Raef had planned to car ry the convention by force. He controls one wing of the party and seeks to uee it to further the cause of Mayor Schmltz who ' has been nominated by the Union Labor party for another term. He march ed into the convention with 175 delegates. Opposed to him were the reformers who had 223 dele galea. j.kuci uau jauacu kuc gal lery and as soon as the convention assembled it was evident trouble would break. Everything went smoothly until E. E. McGuBhen, a Ruef delegate obtaining the floor tried to upset the programme. He wa3 declared out of order by Temporary Chair man Sontae, but refused to leave the Etage. Ssrgeant-at-arms Mc Gee was told to escort McGushen to his seat. As McGee attempted to carry out his orders, friends of Mr. McGushen rushed to his as sistance. Gus Gilfeather, a Ruefite, struck the eergeant-at-arms acrosB the face with his fist and then the general melee started. There was a wild rush of delegates from ..all parts of the auditorium to the stag", An they reached the point of combat they threw themselves into the fray. Soon the entire hall was a mass of struggling politicians Women, who had been provided SDecial seats in the hall, added to the pandemonium by their screams While the fighting raged a squad of bluecoats arrived to restore or der. At the same time a detach men t of sheriff deputies in plain clothes entered the hall. There was a ciash of authority, and the policemen and the sheriff's men in stead ot trvine to restore order fought wi'h each other, . The policemen are under tb control of Ruef while the etands iu with the reformers. Finally order was restored. Dan Salem, Oregon, January 31, 1904. Kerr Glass Manufacturing Company. Portland, Oregon. Dear Sirs:- -I used six dozen of your fruit jars last season and am very much pleased with them. The Economy Jar is the nicest looking and the best jar I have ever used. I canned all kinds of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, pickles and chicken, and had'fine success with the Economy Jar. . . I was awarded all the first prizes, consisting "of 8 blue ribbons, at the Oregon State Fair, 1903, for mv exhibit of canned fruits and jelly. The Oregon commissioners bought all my fruit to represent Oregon at the St. Louis Eair. I have been requested to put up fruit for the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition 1905, and I will use your Economy Jars, They are a sure seal, easy to open, and I prefer them to any jar I have ever used. . Yours very truly, Mrs. S. R. Foster. : It is worth your while to know YOUR preserved fruits and vegetables are free from poisonous compounds? You know this if you use the ECONOMY JARS they are endor sed and used by the OREGON AGRI. COLLEGE, LELAND STANFORD JR. UNIVERSITY, CALIF and other Colleges and Universities. Prof. Snell of the Oregon Agricultural College especially recommends ECONOMY JARS because the cover is Sanitary and free from any Possibilities of Forming Poisionous Com pounds with the contents of the Jar Wadhams 6c Kerr Bros.

Ryan of the reformers, was made permanent chairman of the convention, aod it was after, mid night when the convention got down to work. - A resolution fav oring fusion with the democrats on the city ticket was put through. The nomination for mayor will probably take place tomorrow. J. S. Partridge, a young republican, will be named and will receive the endorsement of the democrats. OFFICE OF" J. W. BAILEY 8TATE DAIRY AND FOOD CO M MI8SIONER ROOM -19, BREEDEN BLDQ. , ; ... . - Portland, .Oregon, Oct. 25, 1905 The two Mason Jar caps has been examined. Upon examination the metal of the new Mason cap was found to be pure zinc. The small pinholes in the old Mason cap were undoubtedly caused by the action of vegetable acids. As a result the fruit in the jar must have been greatly contaminated with poisonous zinc compounds. 1 regard the use of jars with zinc caps as very unsanitary and even dangerous. i Yours very truly, 1 J. W. BAILEY; , , ; - State Dairy and Food Commissioner. New York, Sept. 21. President Paul Morton of the Equitable Life Assuranca Society will endeavor to recover funds of the society il legally diebursed to the amount of $983,264. The Western National Bank in 1885 had loaned $661,491 to Geo. V. Turner, secretary to Louis Fitz gerald, then president of the Mer cantile Trust Company, on collat eral which proved to be of little value. A bank examiner condem ning the security, the loan was transferred to the Mercantile TruBt Company and was guaranteed by several financiers, including Henry B. Hyde. The loan was . finally transferred to the Equitable, hav ing grown to a total of $718,264, and that company paid this sum, to the Mercantile Trust Company in two payments, one of $218,264 on .f tr.mry 3a. 19oo. and aDOther of sheriirt$5JOOiooo en February 4, 1904. J. W. Alexander, the former president of the Equitable, certi fied in 1900 that the Equitable was pledged to the protection of the Mercantile Trust Company, and the executive committee of the Equ itable, passed a resolution guaran teeing protection to them.' The Equitable has also paid $285,ooq to the Mercantile Trust Company on account of the mys terious loan of $685,000 which the latter company made to it, but all the money has been refunded to the individuals. Mr. Morton has notified the Mer cantile Trust Company that the Equitable is not responsible for the Turner loans to the trust company andjhaa instructed counsel to sue for recovery of the $718,264 and in Post Commander of - Vancouver Barracks, nine miles away, and the successful navigation of the air was done to some purpose. For the past two months the Exposition has" be' n the scene 0 " numerous successful airship flights, but not until yesterday was an airship us ed as a medium for carrying a mes sage from one place to another. The aerial messenger which per frrmedjthis unique feat was the air ship, "City of Portland." using the gas bag of the airship "Gelatine," operated by the daring young aer onaut, Lincoln Beacbey, who has achieved glory and fame by his wonderful airship performances, The message carried and faith fully delivered by Bachey follows: Portland, Or., Sapt. 19, 1905. General Constant Williams, com manding Department nf Columbia, Vancouver Barracks, Wasbiugton: Dear Sir; I have ibe honor to con vey to you, by bearer, the compli ments of the president of the Ex position, H. W.

In this connection permit me to say that if this message reaches yea as we now have every confidence it will, you will erjoy the distinc tion of being the first one to have ever received a document' under similar auspices, and President Goode and myself will share your honors in being the first to trans mit the same. Yours very truly , Theodore Hardee, Assistant to the president.
