Third Man to Whom Office Is Of
fered Accepts Langdon .Praises
New Mayor's Integrity, Ability
and Also His Patriotism.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 16-Dr. Ed
ward R. Taylor, physician and lawyer,
dean of the Hastings Law School of the
University of California, was tonight, by
the Board of Supervlaors,:;;alected Mayor
cf San Francisco, and by the open avowal
of the bribery-graft prosecution the so
called "reign of the big sltck" came to an
end. .
Dr. Taylor was the third man to whom
the election was offered by Rudolph
Fpreckels and District Attorney William
H. Langdon. His election came as a
complete surprise to the city, f ot at no
time in the past week of daily guessing
wag his name mentioned by anyone out
Bide of the secret councils of the District
Attorney and his half dozen associates.
The office was tendered to Dr. Taylor a
few minutes after 4 o'clock this after
noon, and his acceptance was in the
hands of Mr. Langdon and Mr. Spreekels
before 5 o'clock. Dr, Taylor Is between
80 and 65 years of age.
The District Attorney dictated for the
Associated Press the following state
ment: Langdon' s View of Taylor.
' "We feel that Ban Francisco is to be
congratulated upon having a public serv
ant of the character and standing of
Dr. Edward R. Taylor. A resident of
Ban Francisco for 45 years, his heart is
In the city's future, and the high serv
ices that he can and will render this
stricken city will. I trust, be fully appre
ciated by a grateful people.
"Dr. Taylor is in no sense a politician,
but is a man of great learning and fine
executive and administrative ability,
coupled with unquestioned Integrity and
unselfish devotion to the people's wel
fare. "The .wide authority that has tempora
rily lodged in the District Attorney's of
fice will now be restricted within the
bounds prescribed by law, and the ex
traordinary functions hitherto directed
from this department will, to our great
satisfaction, have come to an end."
Schmitz Asserts Claim.
Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz, who was
recently convicted of extortion, is yet a
factor to be reckoned with In the solv
ing of the municipal problem. Today he
appointed Samuel Sawyer, a member of
the Typographical Union, a Supervisor to
succeed Charles Boxton, who resigned to
be appointed temporary Mayor by the
graft prosecution. It is announced that
Schmitz will appjiit successors to the re
maining 15 Supervisors who will be forced
by the District Attorney to resign.
The city will then have two govern
ments, one headed by Mayor Taylor, the
other by Mayor Schmitz, who maintains
that he is not incapacitated until after
the court of last resort has confirmed his
conviction. It is held by the prosecution
that the conviction of Schmitz in the trial
court Incapacitated him from further
holding office, and on that theory it has
chosen Dr. Taylor as Mayor.
Chief of Police Dinan announces that
he will recognize no one but Schmitz as
Mayor. ,
FIKD WITNESSES UNWILLING
Heney Extorts Facts in Glass Trial
and Threatens Delmas.
SAX FRANCISCO, July 16. Both disap
pointment and success fell to the lot of
the prosecution in the Glass bribery trial
today. Two witnesses, John Krause, a
sub-agent of the Pacific States Telephone
& Telegraph Company, and Miss Ryan,
a stenographer, formerly in the employ
of T. V. Halsey, proved unwilling wit
nesses. Miss Ryan was relied upon by
the prosecution to tell of the incrimin
ating conversations between Halsey and
Glass, but the best Assistant District At
torney Heney could get from her was
that she had seen Boxton in Halsey's
office In the company's building at. Bush
street and that she had been dismissed
from the room when. Halsey and Boxton
entered to converse;.'
From E. S. Pillsbury, attorney for and
director of the company and for many
years a well-known lobbyist in this state,
Mr. Hcney. after much difficulty, elicited
the statement that Halsey reported di
rectly to Glass, and that at the time of
the alleged briberies Glass was the only
official of the company with power to
sign checks for disbursements without
the approval of the board of directors.
Heney Threatens Delmas.
Mr. Heney questioned Miss Ryan at
length as to which of the 18 supervisors
she saw at the tele-phone company's
offices at different times. Some she re
membered, others she said she did not
know.
Asked a trivial Question byk Mr. Heney,
Miss Ryan Insisted that her memory did
not serve her and, when Mr. Heney re
peated the question, Mr. Delmas came to
his feet with this remark to the court:
"Tour honor, we most seriously object
to the sneering manner adopted toward
the witness by the "Assistant District At
torney."
"Tt wm not sneerlnc ' retnrttiA "Viv
Heney, hotly, "and you know it, Mr. Del
mas. You have no right to characterize
my attitude as sneering.
"It submit to the court that it was
sneering." replied Mr. Delmas, "and I
will . row, inform the gentleman' on the
other side that my rlsrhts in thn
of my client's case are not to be pre-
scriDea or limited by him."
"I shall address myself to the court
whenever it appears to me that the
gentleman h? transsrresslni ' wr,nu4 vt,.
Heney, "and I will tell him now if ho
does not cease questioning my state
ment, i win settle with him elsewhere,'
"Ha, ha, ha." laughed Delmas.
Witness' Memory Fails.
After .Miss Ryan testified that sha
"was acquainted with Mr. TjmiU Gl "
Mr. Heney asked. "Did
jnaisey in Glass' office?"
Perhaps once in three months," Miss
nyan replied.
"Were they talking together?"
"I suppose so."
"Did you hear anything they said?"
"I was not paying attention."
"Did you hear anything without paying
attention ; '
"No."
"Did you ever take down nn ioWn
or reports or anything else addressed by
naisey to mass?"
"I don't remember."
Then came the most nenaoHnnoi in.

"Didn't Halsev. in thA hoi! Hn,

Again Mr. Delmas objected, but before

His coming was attended by no salute of

save for the Informal dinner tendered
him by the Portland Press Club at the

Banquet Feature of Visit.

ORCHARD'S STORY

Defense Answered on
Vindicator Mine.
WOOD'S STORY CONTRADICTED
Assassin Testifies in Aller's
Perjury Trial.
SHERIFF ROUTAN WITNESS
Telia of Colorado Reign of Terror
and Forcible) Deportation of
TTnlon Miners Another
Blow at McGee.
BOISE, Idaho, July 16. In the last
stages of the case against William D.
Haywood, the prosecution put si wit
nesses on the stand today to rebut the
evidence of the defense. They testified
to conditions in the Coeur d'Alenes in
18B9, and to the situation in Colorado
during the strike period of 1903 and
1904. The Important witnesses of the
day were called to contradict the show
ing made by witnesses for the defense
that there was no reason for calling
out the militia of Colorado other than
a desire upon the part of the mine-
owriers to drive members of the West
ern Federation of Miners from the min
ing district. One witness flatly con
tradicted the evidence Introduced by
the defense to show that the explosion
at the Vindicator mine was due to 'an
accident.
Trying Aller for Perjury.
While the big trial was going on in
the District Court, before Judge Fre
mont Wood, an interesting offshoot of
the case was being heard by Justice of
the Peace Savage. W. H. Aller, the
depot agent, who was arrested yester
day charged with perjury, was brought
before! the magistrate for apreliminary
hearing. The state was represented
by Prosecuting Attorney Koelsch, and
the prisoner by Peter Breen, an attor
ney of Butte, who has been associated
with Haywood's counsel, having been
retained by the Miners' Union of Butte
to watch the case. Fred Miller, who
was ' Orchard's counsel at his prelimi
nary hearing at Caldwell, immediately
after the murder of Governor Steunen
berg, assisted Mr. Breen.
Orchard la Chief Witness.
Th principal witness in the perjury
hearing was Orchard himself. The
prisoner was brought in from the Pen
itentiary in charge of Warden Whitney
and a Penitentiary guard. No more
than half a dozen people outside of the
principals in the case and the other
witnesses were present when Orchard
went over his testimony as to his con
nection with D. 0. Scott, the railroad
agent, who had sworn he interviewed
Orchard In Cripple Creek two or three
weeks before the explosion at Inde-
ICEBERG?'
CORROBORATED
pendence in 1904. Orchard was closely
cross-examined by Mr. Breen, but no
amount of questioning brought out any
material change in the original story.
Mr. Breen was more severe in the little
magistrate's court than was the cross
examiner when Orchard was the star
witness for the state in the Haywood
rial; but Orchard maintained the same
calm exterior and answered each dues
tlon with quiet posltiveness. A number
of the other witnesses were examined.
the case taking up most of the day.
A motion to dismiss will be argued
tomorrow afternoon. Aller was released
on deposit of $2500 bonds.
Disproving Orchard Alibi.
In the Haywood trial Edward Alvard,
a physician of Burke, one of the min
lng towns of the Coeur d'Alenes. swore
that he saw Orchard on the day of
the blowing up of the concentrator at
Wardner, and that he came from there
on the train returning from Wardner,
The train was In possession of the
mob, which blew up the mill. Alvard's
testimony was in direct contradiction
of that of Dr. McGee, who swore he
saw Orchard playing cards at Mullan,
several miles away.
A. T. Holman swore in rebuttal of
the testimony of Thomas Wood, a wit
ness for the defense. Air. Wood had
said that he saw Beck and McCormack,
the two men killed by the explosion at
the Vindicator mine, in the eighth level
before the explosion, and afterward
found their bodies in the sixth level.
He said that Beck carried a revolver
on that day, and that he saw a box of
powder on a water barrel in the eighth
level Just before Beck and McCormack
went up to the sixth, where the ex
plosion occurred a few minutes later,
The impression created was that the
two men carried the powder with them,
and that Berk dropped his revolver,
which exploded and the powder went
off. This would also account for the
finding of the shattered parts of a re
volver near the bodies.
Flatly Contradicted Wood.
Orchard swore that he fired the pow
der with a pistol. Mr. Holman was
superintendent of a neighboring mine
and formerly superintendent of the
Vindicator. He was one of the first
to go down the shaft of the Vindicator
after the explosion. His evidence
given largely from a prepared chart of
the Interior of the mine, contradicted
Mr. Wood on many points.
L. G. Ramsey, a young man and a
relative of McCormack, followed Mr.
Holman. He was In charge of the pow
der In the mine at the time of the ex
plosion. He knew , Beck and McCor
mack well, and swore that neither of
them ever carried a revolver; that
there was no powder in the mine at
the time, eo far as he knew, and that
there was no water barrel on the
eighth level, as Mr. Wood had stated.
Sheriff ftoutan, of San Miguel Coun
ty, Colo., was the last witness of the
day. .He testified as .to strike condi
tions. Under a searching cross-examination
by E. F. Richardson, he admit
ted that union miners were deported
and driven by force from the county
while he was Sheriff, and that no at
tempt was made to prevent or punish
those who attacked the union men. He
said that the deportations were the
work of the leading citizens of Tellu
ride. Impeaching the Defense.
Lawrence Guibbinl. th Ran Fran
cisco grocer, having been recalled and
answered a lew Questions of thn d
tense about the topography of the
scene of the Bradley explosion, A. C.
Cogswell, of Wallace, Idaho, came
forward to further Impeach Dr. McGee.
The doctor had fixed certain dates by
reference to the date of the Repub
lican County Convention, and Mr.
Cogswell, who was chairman of the
convention, gave different dates.
The State offered In evidence a copy
or toe laano Tribune, the official or
gan of the Western Federation In the
Coeur d Alenes, containing a long ac
count of the Bunker Hill and Sulllvaii
outrage, for the purpose of answering
Mr. Darrow'a opening statement that
the mill was attacked by an unorgan
ized mob. A heated argument ensued
between Messrs. Hawley and Richard
son as to its admissibility, -and Judge
wood finally ruled It out, the defense
having offered no evidence to sub
stantiate Mr. Darrow's statement.
Dr. Edward R. Alvard, a druggist of
Bunker, testified that he did not see
about that town while the mob was at
Wardner, but did see Orchard Imme
diately after its return. He .denied
having a grudge against the Federa
tion, though be admitted having a
member arrested for ordering hira to
leave the country.
Explosion in Vindicator.
A. L Holman, manager of the Golden
Cycle Mine, at Cripple Creek, since
1903, prior to that date of the Vindi
cator Mine, gave a description of the
Vindicator explosion, saying he
reached the sixth level, whore Beck
and McCormick were killed, within 20
minutes after. His evidence was in
tended to rebut that of Mr. Wood, who
testified that the explosion was acci
dental. Under cross-examination, Mr. Hol
man said he took an active part in the
strike as a member of the Mineown
ers' Association. He had been told of
the bfcating of Stewart, who worked at
the Vindicator during the strike, but
had never heard that Stewart went
home drunk and was beaten by his
wife. The mining companies paid
quarterly assessments to the Mtn own
ers' Association and bought the state
certificates of debt Issued to pay the
expenses of the militia.
"You decided to get rid of the West
ern Federation of Miners because it
had called a strike and you got the
militia out to help you, didn't you?"
demanded Mr. Richardson.
"No," replied Mr. Holman; "we got
the militia because the sheriff couldn't
keep order and protect - the mining
property."
"Didn't the military, the Mlneowners'
Association and the Citizens' Alliance
all work together?"
"All law-and-order people did, yes,
sir."
In reference to the beating of Stew
art and other disorderly Incidents, Mr.
Richardson asked questions aimed to
make them appear mere ordinary inci
dents of mining camp life. j

CHICAGO, July 16. (Special.) "Cola,
rado is the most corrupt state in the
Union. It is overriden with graft. Even
the women, who are possessed of the
right of franchise, have been reached by
corporate interests. A franchise grant
in Denver is Indorsed by the people, no
matter how bad it Is. Throughout the
commonwealth wealth overrides honesty
and the popular will is smothered in dol
lars." Judge Ben B. Lindsey. Denver's bellig
erent Juvenile Court Judge, sat In the
Great Northern Hotel tonight and recited
the story of a politically-rotten state. He
is the La Follette of Colorado, and ad
mits that he Is the most cordially hated
man in the Rocky Mountain region. He
Is sick and tired, so he says, of the
methods that prevail in the state that
has Just elevated Simon Guesenhelm. the
smelter king, to the United States Senate.
He says:
Corruption a Fine Art.
"That Colorado leads all states in its
up-to-date methods of defeating the peo
ple's will: that it has solved the problem
of throttling legislation and, instead of
buying legislators, sends men to the Gen
eral Assembly who are servile to the cor
porations; that the motto, 'It Is easier to
elect a friendly man as member of the
Statehouse or Senate than it is to buy one
after he lands there,' is the dominant
policy in Colorado politics; that, more
over, it is much cheaper to elect your
man than to purchase a stranger who
has happened to receive the people's In
dorsement; that the Legislature on this
account has been the tool of the cor
porate Interests In Colorado; that men of
the Guggenhetovytripe remain triumphant
in the saddle; that not so long ago the
big corporations in Colorado supported
Governor Peabody for chief executive and
In exchange were permitted to select a
committee that named as counsellors for
the Governor two members of the State
Supreme Court: that 'the Colorado
Supreme Court about that time held the
eight-hour law Invalid and threw this
question, a vital one to the miners and
laborers, back into the Legislature tor
settlement.
Roosevelt Is Only Hope.
'I have no special auarrnl with Mv
Guggenheim," said Judge Lindsey, "He is
a millionaire, but has as much riirht to
go to the United States Senate as a cab-
driver or a painter of fine pictures. I
object, however, to the methods used bv
the machine which boosted Guggenheim
into the Senate."
'You say Colorado is ridden down with
corruption; now what can save it?" was
asked.
'I feel that the Roosevelt influence is
our only hope," he replied quickly. "I
am a Democrat In National politics, but
I pin my faith Just the same to such
men as Roosevelt, La Follette, .Hughes
and Folk."

Guards Against Slocum Horrors.
NEW YORK, July 16. The Federal
Government is determined there shall
be no overcrowding of excursion and
other craft running outof New York
Harbor, and no repetition of the Gen
eral Slocum horror. A large force of
customs officers has inspected every
portion of the boats, with the result
that 15 passenger-carrying boats were
put out of commission and tied up. It
was found some of the masters did not
even have licenses. Moreover, hun
dreds of persons were obliged to disem
bark from vessels because of over
crowding.

Auburn, N. Y., was recaptured by the
Toronto police last night In a house in
McMillan street, a block distant from
