REFUSE! RESIGN
Coleman, Coffee, Davis and
McGushin Fail to Attend
the Meeting.
BURNS PERSUADES KELLY
Takes Him Aside and Causes Him to
Sign Written Resignation The
Meeting Had to Be 'Ad
journed Till Night.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 29. The 18 new
Supervisors appointed by Mayor Taylor
were to assume office at a meeting of
the Board this afternoon, when the 15
remaining members of the old Board to
whom immunity contracts were given by
the bribery-graft ' prosecution were to
submit their resignations for Immediate
acceptance. But the programme tem
porarily fell through, owing to the absence
of four of tne 15.
Supervisors Coleman, Coffee, Davis and
McQushin did not present themselves at
the Board's rooms in answer to notifica
tion by District Attorney Langdon and
after a wait of nearly four hour the
meeting was abandoned until 9 o'clock to
night. The other incumbents Furey, Gal
lagher, Harrigan, Kelly, Lonergan, Ham
lock, Nicholas, Phillips, Rea, Sanderson
and Walsh signed each the following
typewritten resignation presented by Mr.
Langdon:
Form of the Resignation.
"I hereby resign from the office of Su
pervisor of the City and County of San
Francisco and as a member of the Board
of Supervisors of said city and county;
this resignation to take effect upon
presentation to the clerk of the said
Board of Supervisors."
Kelly was the only one of the 11 who
jnade any resistance in this final waving
of the 'big stick." He had had difficulty
with a newspaper man earlier in the day.
vhom he assaulted for a published stric
ture upon himself. In the afternoon he
came to the board rooms under the In
fluence of liquor and declared himself.
He said he was perfectly willing to re
sign, but he did not propose to sign a
resignation written by anybody else. He
produced a long typewritten resignation,
which began with the assertion that he
never committed a wrong In his life, and
closed with -the announcement that he
thereby relgned "under threats and In
timidation." Kelly shouted:
"There! I wrote that all myself and It's
the only one I'll sign."
Burns Makes Kelly Sign.
William J. Burns, 'the detective chief
of the prosecution, took the boisterous
Supervisor to one side and had a quiet
talk to him. When this was over, Kelly
put his resignation in his pocket and
signed the carbon-copied form drawn up
by the District Attorney.
Instructions were given to Bergeant-at-Arms
Burke and several of Mr. Bums'
men to "scour the city for Coleman, Cof
fey, Davis and McGushin, and .tell them
when you find them that. If they know
what is good for them, they will be on
hand with their resignations at 9 o'clock
tonight."
The 11 whose resignations are now in
the hands of Mr. Langdon asked for and
obtained from him before appending their
signatures a verbal -renewal of his im
munity contract.
Three Resign at Night.
At tonight's session o. the supervis
orial board the resignations of Supervis
ors Coleman, Coffey and Davis were re
ceived. McGushin being the only one of
the 15 who failed to retire according to
the plan arranged. He had disappeared
and could not be summoned. The new
members were Installed without formal
ity. Mayor Edward Taylor called on
cierli Ryan to read the resignations and
as it was concluded he appointed one
of the men already named, to the vacant
chair. As Supervisor Compte Is now out
of town, no difficulty arises over the
failure of McGushin to hand in his res
ignation. The Board passed a resolution, calling
upon the heads of the departments of the
city government to submit financial re
ports. Supervisors Tveltmoe and O'Neill,
the two members who retained their
eats, made protests against the Install
ing of the supervisors. Tveltmoe left
the room after speaking on the matter
but Supervisor O'Neill remained.
FORAKER JWAKES ISSUE
(Continued from First Page.)
It was proposed by a great number of
the delegates to indorse a candidate
for the Presidency. I opposed the
proposition on the ground that it was
not only premature, but also on the
ground that the delegates to the con
vention had not been chosen with
reference to that question, and that It
would be an assumption of jurisdiction
and authority that did not properly
belong to them and that their action
could not be binding upon the next
state convention, which must meet be
fore the National Convention of 1908,
and that no action should be taken by
that convention or anybody else that
would forestall the people or deny
them the right to be heard on that all
Jmportant question. The present State
Central Committee, composed of only 21
members, one from each Congressional
district, were chosen by that conven
tion. They were not selected with
reference to Presidential preferences.
They were chosen to be simply the
machinery of the party, representing
Its organisation and empowered to call
the next convention and to transact
auch duties as the last coventlon and
the statutes of the state imposed upon
them.
Action Would Not Bind.
"Th,e selection of the candidates for
the party Is not one of these duties.
Their action in now Indorsing a can
didate for the Presidency would not,
therefore, as Governor Harris well
says, be Binding upon anybody, not
even themselves, but it would be whol
ly outside of their Jurisdiction and un
authorized. "Upon a number of occasions hereto
fore I have stated that, so far as I have
been Individually concerned, as a citiaen
of Ohio and a member of the Republican
party, I did not think this question should
be determined except only in accordance
with the expressed wish of the Repub
lican voters of Ohio, and that In view of
the controversies that have arisen, the
Republican voters of Ohio Should be
given an opportunity to be heard before
any action Is taken by any committee
or anybody not chosen by the people to
represent them in regard to this matter.
"In addition to these considerations, I
thfnk It Is premature and bad policy to
undertake in this way to inject the Pres
idential question and National politics
into Ohio politics at a time when we are
concerned with our municipal elections;
When we are through with the elections
of this year we can take up In an or
derly way, and without injury to any
Interest, as the next business to be
transacted, the settlement of our Presi
dential preferences.
"I shall at that time, as I have hereto
fore announced, request the State Central
Committee to order, in accordance with
the declarations of the platform adopted
by the convention that assembled at Day
ton last year, that delegates to the next
year's convention shall be selected in all
the counties at primaries. la this way
we free ourselves entirely from the oft
repeated charges that have been made,
with too much ground for them, that the
actions of our state conventions in re
cent years have not been governed by
the voters, who are supposed to be rep
resented by the delegates, but by commit
tees, bosses and small coteries with sel
fish interests in view. We have had ad
monition and warning that the people are
Justly displeased with such practices. We
should not stubbornly disregard these
warnings.
Not Ready to Declare Candidacy.
"I see it stated almost every day In
the newspapers, as a reason for the
claim that Ohio has only one candidate
for the Presidency, that I have not at any
time announced my candidacy for that
office. It Is true that I have never made
any such announcement. A candidate for
the Presidency must assume, first, the
great responsibility of leading his party
in the National campaign and. If success
ful, as we hope and expect to be, he must
then assume the grave and serious re
sponsibilities of administering the ex
ecutive office. These responsibilities are
so grave , and so serious that any man
might well feel highly complimented and
greatly honored to have his fellow-citizens
name him In such a connection, but at
the same time they are so grave and so
serious that any ordinary man might
well hesitate to proclaim himself quali
fied for such responsibility, or prefer at
least to wait until invited by his party
associates to take upon himself such re
sponsibilities. No Disagreement on Trusts.
"It Is because I entertain opinions
of this kind that I have not made any
announcement of my candidacy for any
office and, In view of what may be in
ferred from these expressions, I do not
deem it necessary that I should. But
this Is not a matter to be settled by
sentiments of state pride, commendable
as they are. If there were not any
differences of opinion among Republi
cans, state pride would properly have
great weight, but probably there Is a
wide difference" among Republicans on
questions of a most vital character.
"I do not refer to the regulation of
railroads and trusts and corporations
engaged In Interstate commerce and
large aggregations of capital, for on
that point there is no substantial dif
ference of opinion among Republicans,
except as to the methods that should
be resorted to in such "regulation. I
believe in regulation and was one of
the advocates of it, but I have always
advocated methods that are consistent
with the Constitution and the spirit
of our institutions. In this conection,
I am happy to be able to point to the
fact that I helped, as one of a sub
committee of three, to frame and put
into its present form the Elklns law,
which is now universally conceived to
be the most effective and expeditious
statute that has ever been enacted on
this subject, worth, measured by prac
tical results, more tnan all other such
statutes combined.
Opposes Tariff Revision.
"The question I refer to Is not,
therefore, regulation of trusts, rail
roads and Interstate commerce, about
which, as I have said, we are all united,
ouc me larm quesuon.
"Every Republican has a right to
espouse any view he may entertain
and. Inasmuch a Governor Harris rep
resents mat sucn is his view. I do not
wonder that he prefers Secretary Taft
as nis canaiaaie ior tne Presidency, for
on a number of occasions Secretary
Taft has taken pains to announce that
he is In favor of an Immediate revision
of the tariff.
"When, therefore, we are asked to
commit ourselvea to the candidacy of
aecretary Tart, we must do it with the
fact in mind that he entertains the
views he has expressed on this sub
ject, and, if we make him our candi
date, the campaign of a necessity must
be a campaign for revision downward
of the tariff schedules under which the
country has been brought not only to
an unprecedented but to a universal
prosperity. There may be aome duties
too high and some too low; there, may
come a time, I do not doubt, when there
ought to be some changes made; but
in view of the results we are enjoy
ing, I do not think we should enter
upon such work at this time, and I do
not believe that we should discredit
what the Republican party has done
for this country under the policies rep
resented by the Dlngley tariff law by
making our campaign of next year on
an attack upon that statute, especially
until we have some specification as to
what rates are to be changed, with the
reasons that are to be offered in sup
port of such changes.
"If we postpone the matter of set
tling our preference as to a candidate
until we can go before the people and
discuss this question, as we will have
an opportunity to do if we select our
delegates to the next convention at the
primaries, our respective views may
be presented and the people can judge
between ua and act intelligently. .
"If we can be given time to discuss
this subject, as we may propose, I may
change my view about it, but without
further advice it is Impossible for me.
notwithstanding the high character and
great ability and the distinguished
services of Secretary Taft, to favor his
candidacy.
"Inasmuch as the time is short and
this is designed for the public as your,
self and committee, I take the liberty
of giving a copy of it to the public
press at the same time I put It In the
mall."
BOOM TAFT FOR PRESIDENT
Secretary's Manager Says Ohio Is
Overwhelmingly for Htm.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 29. A. I. Vorys,
manager of Secretary Taft's Presidential
candidacy, was Informed tonight of the
nature of the letter addressed by Senator
Foraker to Mr. McCoy, and when asked
if he had any statement to make, re
plied: "Every effort has been made to Induce
the state committee to postpone action
on a resolution Indorsing Secretary Taft
for President. All efforts have been fruit
less and the letter of Senator Foraker
seems the last effort when all others have
failed. I believe the Republicans of Ohio
are overwhelmingly for Taft for Presi
dent and that the members of the state
committee know there is not the slightest
Impropriety in saying so, and I believe
they will so declare."

RISES TO DEFEND
HIS STATE'S FIE
Governor Buchtel Declares
Lindsey's Attack on
Colorado False.
EMBITTERED BY DEFEAT
Juvenile Judge's Blast Attributed to
Disappointment Sherman Bell's
Remarks on the Haywood Case
Are Due to Eccentricity.
CHICAGO. July 29. (Special.) Rev.
Henry Augustus Buchtel, D. i.. Gov
ernor of Colorado an- chancellor of the
University of Denver, known as the
"Preacher Governor," came forward to
day In vigorous defense of his state. In
a signed interview Dr. Buchtel replied
to some of the criticisms recently leveled
at Colorado by Judge Ben R. Lindsay
of the Juvenile Court at Denver.
Dr. Buchtel also answered criticisms
directed against Colorado by General
Sherman Bell uttered in an interview at
Denver Sunday, when the general was
commenting on the Haywood verdict.
The Governor said in part:
"In Colorado Judge Lindsay could not
secure the publication of these malicious
criticisms of Colorado ana her people.
There is not one syllable of truth in these
wild assertions of the Juvenile Judge.
The Denver Chamber of commerce has
published some vigorous resolutions in
condemnation of Judge Lindsay's er
ratic harangue about Colorado.
"You can understand tha nnfTniia r.f
Judge Lindsay's assault If you recall the
iaci mat unasay is a disappointed can
didate for Governor of Colorado. His
vole was a bitter disappointment to hint
"The only comment to be made on
Sherman Bell's reported speech Is that
a very eccentric man Is fond of saying
very eccentric thinzs. The nnmu nt
Colorado are never surprised at any-
imns saia or aone Dy General Bell."
AGREE ON PRIZE COURT

SCORES BRITISH DELEGATES
Stead Says Their' Inaction at The
Hague Is Wet Blanket.
LONDON. July 19. W. T. Stead, editor
of the Review of Reviews, who has been
conducting a publication at The Hague,
devoted to peace conference matters,
when interviewed today on the progress
of the peace conference, delivered a seri
ous Indictment against the British dele
gates. He said:
"Until last Saturday, when under the
pressure of angry protests, the British
government Instructed its delegates to
make a belated declaration of adhesion
to the American plan of obligatory arbi
tration, the British delegation had done
nothing for peace, nothing for arbitra
tion, nothing in short, for anything the
British people believed they had been
sent to The Hague to do.
"Their action and still more their inac
tion has aroused the amazement of all
of the friends of peace. I do not exag
gerate in the least when I say that, as
far as every principle the British govern
ment is supposed to have at heart is con
cerned, it would have been far better to
have had no delegates at all than the
men who have shown skepticism where
they ought to have shown enthusiasm,
who have repelled where they ought to
have attracted, who have been a wet
blanket upon every aspiration of the
peace crusaders, and who have succeeded
in utterly destroying England's reputa
tion as the leader of the peace-loving na
tions of the world. As members of a
conference striving for peace, I believe
they are about the most Incompetent set
of beings that ever achieved an unmiti
gated failure."
Continuing, Mr. Stead said:
"Great Britain, having abdicated her
traditional position, the leadership has
faiien into the' hands of Germany and
the United States, and we have taught
the Americans that the Germans are
warmer friends and stouter allies than
the British."
LORDS DEBATE CONGO MISRULE
International Inquiry Proposed, but
Cabinet Feara Trouble.
LONDON, July 29. "The system of
government In the Congo Independent
States is one of unrestrained tyranny,
enforced by the lash and the bullet, by
cruelty and by murder."
These words were spoken by Lord
Monskwell, who discussed the Congo
question in the House of Lords today,
and moved for the papers. The attend
ance in the House was small. . .
A general debate on the Congo ques
tion followed and a number, of bishops
were among the speakers. The Earl
of Mayo advocated another interna
tional convention in the matter of the
Congo and. failing that, the appoint
ment of more good Consuls in the Up
per Congo.
Lord Fitzmaurice, Undersecretary for
Foreign Affairs, speaking1 for the gov
ernment, said they were not blind to
the fact that the matter was surround
ed with grave difficulties. He said
It was an international question and,
if the House took any sudden, raeh
action. It would run the risk of Injur
ing the cause it had at heart.
At the conclusion of Lord Fitzmau
rtce's address Lord Monskwell with
drew his motion.

In heaps along the track.
Special Railroad Policeman Peter
Bracken was arrested at the scene of
the wreck by local Policeman Davis,
who acted on orders of the conductor
of the derailed train. Bracken seemed
much excited and. it is charged, had
poked a pistol in the face of the driver
of the ambulance wagon, threatening
to shoot while the latter was aiding the

Seattle Man Talks.
T. E. Latimer, of Seattle, talked a lit
tle less fiercely than did Comrade Speed.
He declared that the victory of "Bill"
Haywood Is a victory for the whole work
ing class. "A blow struck at one is a blow
at all," he said. "Because one of the
labor organizations has the courage to
come out for its rights, the President says
the men who dare to assert their rights
are 'undeslrablG citizens.'
"No longer will the working class be de
ceived by the capitalistic class. The work
class has won this fight and the working
class has only started. These meetings
all over the country tonight are sending
shivers down the backs of the capitalists
and their hirelings. Put a working man
in for President and you will not have a
man there who calls a man who stands
up for his rights an 'undesirable citizen.'
"They will keep on trying to crush the
working class. Where they will strike
next, we do not know; but we must be
prepared all along the line; we must beat
them at the ballot box, where your vote
counts as much as the vote of Andrew
Carnegie or John D. Rockefeller."
