GRAFT ELEMENT
PUTS UP FIGHT
Desperate Effort to Capture
Primary Elections in
San Francisco.
DECIDE THE SSUE TODAY
Delegates to Be Chosen lor Nom
ination of City Officials All
Parties Rent by Factions.
Registration Very Heavy.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12. Opecial.)
San Francisco will hold tomorrow one
Df the most Important primary elections.
If not the most important, in its his-
tory. The three parties. Republican,
Democratic and Union Labor, will select
delegates to local conventions to nomi
nate officials for city offices to be voted
upon at the November election. At the
conventions candidates from Mayor down
will be nominated.
In each of the three parties there is a
split, the question at issue in a veiled
form is the graft prosecution. Although
both factions of the Democratic party
have let it be known that they favor the
continuance of prosecutions, the same Is
not true of the other parties.
The Republicans are divided into what
are known as the Davis ticket and the
Ryan ticket. The Davis ticket is made
up of the regular machine dominated by
v Wlldam, of the Herrln ana the Southern
Pacific Influence. This wing has re
mained silent on the -iuestlon of graft
prosecution, but If given power. It is
understood that It would do what it
could to put an end to the prosecutions.
This attitude is due to the fact that it is
openly- stated that Herrln and the South
ern Pacific are soon to come in for In
vestigation by grand Jury. On the otner
hand the Ryan wing is composed of the
reformers who make the continuance of
graft prosecution their foremost prin
ciple. Call Predicts Reform Victory.
They have also declared for a direct
primary similar - to the Oregon law and
for the overthrow of . the railroad influ
ence in Republican politics. The Repub
licans are to elect 149 delegates. Both
sides claim victory tonight, but conditions
are so unusual in San Francisco at the
present time that a prediction would he
little more than a guess. The Call pre
dicts victory for the reformers. v
The situation in the Union Labor party
is even more Interesting than in the Re
publican party. The machine ticket of the
Union Labor party is headed by Thomas
Eagan. of the Board of Public Works, and
George Benham. Deputy Auditor, both of
whom did politics with Ruef and Schmltz,
and are part of the old rule of the ma
chine which gave birth to the reign of
graft. The Eagan-Benhain ticket is silent
on the question of graft prosecution. Chief
among its supporters are P. H. Mc
Carthy, president of the Building Trades
Council, and Supervisor O. A. Tveitmoe.
The other wing of the Union Labor party
Is headed by Michael Casey, head of the
Teamsters' Union. The Casey wing of
the party has designated itself the anti
graft ticket and as -fts cardinal prin
ciple continuation of the graft prose
cutions, "the retention of Francis J.
Heney in the District Attorney's office, no
matter who is elected District Attorney"
, and the regeneration of the Union Labor
party from the stigma of Ruefism and
graft. Casey Is sincere In his fight and
has behind him the full force of the con
servative labor leaders of San Francisco.
Opposed to him are the radicals. The
t:ttiiipuiKii in union iuixr circitrs mis uweii
rtu rtinn a r v hlttdi nnri the tn-rt fniHnns
have attacked each other vigorously
through the press.
May Be Non-Partisan Candidate.
The regular Democratic party, headed
by Gavin McNab, has a strong ticket in
the field and is opposed by a faction
headed by ex-District Attorney Byington.
Although William R. Hearst's Independ
ence League did not put a ticket in the
field, the sympathies of Hearst have been
thrown to th : Byington faction. Hearst
has also been flirting with the old Ruef
wing of the Union Labor party.
In case the Casey reform wing of the
Union Labor party and the Ryan reform
wing of the Republican party triumph,
there will be a nonpartisan movement
and a single candidate indorsed by all
rarties for Mayor. In this connection.
Mayor Taylor is regarded as the man
best suited for a nonpartisan candidate.
On the other hand, if the machine forces
of the Union Labor and Republican par
ties win, there will be three separate tick
ets and perhaps even more.
The opposition to the graft prosecutions
ccmes from three main sources, from the
Union Labor machine, whose re6ent Su
pervisors have been exposed as boodlers,
from the railroad machine, which is in
danger itself, and from William R.
Hearst, who is fighting the prosecution
because it refused to accept dictation
from him.
Registration has exceeded any previous
primary total and reaches more than

ABERDEEN TO BE CLOSED
Mayor Thinks Salonnmen Should Be
Taught a Lesson.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Aug. 12. In a row
In a saloon last evening Ira Mechlin was
ecot in the breast by Lou J. Smith and
while alive this morning, is considered to
be in a critical condition. Both are log
gers and had been drinking.
As a result of this unfortunate affair,
the Bulletin will say this afternoon that
thf. saloons will be closed next Sunday
by order of Mayor Franco. The Mayor
has been lenient heretofore, but claims
saloon men take advantage of his leni
ency and he will force them to close. He
will ask the Council to pass an ordinance
to that effect. The Mayor is not In sym
pathy with the state law. but will close
saloons to punish saloon-keepers for the
lax manner in which they run affairs.
HARRIMAX'S TRIP IX OREGON
Will Spend Two Weeks Around
Klamath County.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Aug. 12.
(Special.) E. H. Harriman, magnate of
the Union-Southern Pacific system ' of
railroads, will spend two weeks in Klam
ath County, and has selected this region
for his first extensive trip into Central
Oregon, the portent of which may be of
tremendous effect upon the solution of
the transportation problems of this sec
tion and of the entire state lying East of
of the Cascades.
Three crews of workmen are engaged
in the construction of a telegraph line
connecting with the wires used ""for the
telephone between Thrall tnd Foke
gama, a distance of 32 miles to Pelican
Bay Lodge where the major portion of
the time will be spent. It Is stated that
the trip Is one of pleasure solely and that
the party consists of 12 persons. But
there Is abundant reason 'to anticipate
that the trip will not be entirely devoid
of commercial results. ,
Enroute to Pelican Bay the site will
be visited of one of the largest power
projects of the Pacific Coast, now un
der construction on the Klamath River
by the Southern Pacific. The personnel
of the party accompanying the magnate
is not known but it is expected that
high officials of the Southern Pacific
will be included.
JOHN 0.'S SUCCESS CALLS
FRANK ROCKEFELLER JEALOUS
OF HIS BROTHER.
Mrs. McCormic Comes to Defense ol
Her Father Denies Cruelty
Toward Grandfather.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12. (Special.) Mrs.
Harold McCormlck today came to the de
fense of her- father, John D. Rockefeller,
who in an interview credited to his
younger brother, Frank Rockefeller, was
characterized as a "monster." The inter
view, which was denied later In toto by
Frank Rockefeller, charged John D. with
being responsible for the mystery sur
rounding the whereabouts of his father,
William Rockefeller, 94 years old. and de
clared that if the truth were known the
oil king could not appear on the streets
of any American city without being
stoned. Mrs. McCormlck, at her Summer
home at I.ake Forest, said the attack
published as made by her uncle was due
to his jealousy of her father's business
success.
"My uncle's failure to profit by the for
tune of my father and his repeated fail
ures in business have been wormwood and
all to him.
She is quoted as saying: "The bitter
ness has grown from year to year, and it
has taken foi its objective point the
brother who has prospered. Between my
father and my grandfather there has al
ways existed the respect and love that
should prevail between father and son. I
hardly see Just why my grandfather's
whereabouts Interest the public. I, my
self, do not know where he Is, but there
Is nothing strange about that. It is act
cording to his own reqpest. It is a mat.
ter which is never discussed, "even In the
family circle."
When asked whether it were true that
John D. Rockefeller, by his business
methods or. treatment of his father, was
responsible for the bitter's desire for se
clusion, Mrs. McCormlck said:
"No, that does not necessarily follow,
and it is not the case; at least it is a
great exaggeration of the truth."

bers of the Carmen's LTnlon, labor Coun

tions from further interference with his

SLUMP
STOCKS
Wall Street Experiences Fe
verish Day.
PRICES TUMBLE, THEN RISE
At One Time Lowest Point of Year
Is Reached Rally During Clos
ing Hour of the Exchange
Bring Back Some Prices.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. (Special.)
Traders on the Stock Exchange had a
feverish day of it today. Three disastrous
slumps occurred, each of ,which was fol
lowed by a more or less successful rally.
The market developed strong powers of
resistance on the trades and the periods
of depression were stubbornly contested.
At one time in the day many of the
more active Issues sold at the lowest price
of the year. The trading ended with a
rally In progress which brought a number
of the influential stocks several points
above the lowest of the day.
, Heavy selling orders were on hand for
execution when the session opened. Weak
ness of an acute degree developed and
prices broke violently. Northern Pacific
dropped 3 "and other stocks from 1 to 8
points within a space of a few minutes.
Supporting orders were forthcoming in
some quarters, where ptices reacted, but
In other parts of the list there was noth
ing to check th decline until 15 minutes
of trading had passed, when effective
measures were taken to arrest the down
ward plunge. The response to the efforts
of the bulls soon became general and the
entire list rallied. No sooner was the
change in the direction of sentiment ap
parent than the shorts turned to the buy
ing side and their operations, with large
purchases made for the long account, gave
the market a decided lift. On the rally.
Northern Pacific regained 3V4 points of its
loss and other stocks profited in propor
tion. . " '
Duel During the Noon Hour.
With the rally in force the volume of
business materially decreased and the
market still showed traces of nervous
ness. Realizing sales kept pace with the
recovery in prices and in a measure
checked the rise, though by the noon hour
almost the best prices of the day were
realized.
Dullness characterized the market be
tween 12 and 1 o'clock and price changes
In that time were narrow. Then there
was a sudden decline in Union Pacific to
below 125. which temporarily jarred the
entire market. Small fluctuations contin
ued to be recorded with the tone of the
market again about normal and trading
rather listless until the middle, of the
afternoon session was reached. At this
stage of the proceedings one of the most
spectacular slumps of recent months oc
curred. A sudden and successful drive was pre
cipitated by the bears against Smelting
and Reading and in a very short time
prices were giving way in all directions.
The raid was carried out on the most
approved bear lines, with the result that
the low records of the early part of the
day were again spread on the tape.
Smelting showed a loss of 5 points and
Reading 4, while- American Express
dropped an extreme 10 points. Other losses
as a consequence of the drive were: Con
solidated Gas, 6; Illinois Central, 5;
Interborough Metropolitan preferred, iYt;
Great Northern, 3Vt; New York Central,
and 2 each In Pennsylvania, St. Paul
and Steel preferred.
Copper Prices Carried Down.
The excitement had subsided by 2 P. M.,
when liquidation had nearly ceased and
there was some show of recovery, but in
the final hour a decline as violent as
those that had preceded it set in, and
under heavy selling prices were carried
down to the lowest of the day. Copper,
Smelting, Union Pacific and Reading were
the principal stocks thrown over. In this
slump there were declines of S in North
American. "16 in Consolidated Gas and
Illinois Central, 6 in Delaware & Hudson,
Interborough and Lead, 64 In Smelting,
64 In Union Pacific, 5 in Lackawana, 4V4
in Great Northern preferred. Anaconda,
Missouri Paeific and Reading, 4 in North
western, Amalgamated and Smelting pre
ferred and 3'4 in New York Central and
Steel preferred.
In the late trading there was renewed
buying by shorts and the market closed
active, with gains of between 1 and 3
points in the active list.
CHICAGO WHEAT PRICES DROP
Slump of Three Cents Yesterday on
September Deliveries.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12. (Special.) Wheat
for September delivery lost about 3 cents
In this market today. The depressing fac
tors were lower cables and a continuance
of favorable weather conditions in the
Northwest, which caused a decline at
Minneapolis and was reflected in a weaker
opening here.
The decline at Liverpool was due to an
Increase in world shipments and a larger
amount of breadstuffs on passage. This
drop and the bearish statistics Induced
free liquidation at the start, which con
tinued throughout the session and was
only aggravated by the weather reports
from this country and Canada. The teleg
raphers' strike also played, an important
part in demoralizing the market.
The September option opened at a de
cline that ranged from to of a cent.
sales being made at S6l4 to 86 cents. The
drop was gradual until near the closing
dealings, when the price touched 83 cents.
The close was weak at 83 t 83 cents.
The coarser grains were also depressed,
though the weakness in the corn pit was
not so pronounced. Oats suffered from
heavy realizing sales.
NEW YORK BONDS GO BEGGING
Offer of $15,000,000 in Securities
Gets Few Takers at 4 Per Cent.
NEW YORK. Aug. 12. (Special.) For
the second time within six weeks the
City of New York failed today to obtain
bids for any considerable amount of the
large issues of 50-year, 4-per cent gold
bonds offered at public bidding. Issues
amounting to $15,000,000 were offered to
day, and the total amount of the - bids

offered except on four or five bids for
very small amounts.

JAPANESE WIN AFTER SIEGE
OF TWO DAYS.
Victory at Mouth of Han River Be
lieved to Be End of Organ-
ized Resistance.
SEOUL. Corea, Aug. 12. (Special.) Af
ter two days of hard fighting with Corean
soldiers and mob, Japanese troops suc
ceeded today in capturing Kang Wha Is
land at the mouth of the Han River.
Kang Wha is the site of famous old forts
and was held by a small garrison. The
first detachment of 200 Japanese detailed
to disband the garrison was fired on as
both detachments neared the Island and
were beaten off. Six Japanese soldiers
were killed and six probably were fatally
wounded, others being less seriously hurt.
The Japanese finally succeeded in mak
ing a landing on the northern end of the
tAand, which they held until the arrival
of 200 reinforcements with machine guns.
Several hours engagement followed today,
the Japanese capturing forts and bar
racks. They klllea or captured all the
Corean soldiers.
Th'. Corean officials of the northern
and eastern sections are sending dally ap
peals for help. The whole'North- Kyong
province near Yalu is reported in a state
o: insurrection. Troops have been hur
ried to the Bcene. There are frequent
sloshes in the mountain districts of the
eastern section between small bodies of
Japanese troops and deserting Corean sol
ders While this condition Is likely to prevail
untU Corean ammunition is exhausted
riilitary authorities regard the capture
of Kang Wha as marking the end of up
risings of like organized resistance.

anese of course are responsible for
the uprising, he commented.
"I do not hlame them so much, how
ever, as I blame the traitorous Coreans
who have sold themselves to the Jap
anese. The only effect of this action
against me will be to add energy and
enthusiasm to the work of patriotic
Coreans for their country.
"This order for my execution will
certainly be carried out if I get with
in Corean or Japanese Jurisdiction. It
would be mere suicide for me to re
turn to Corea.
"If I could gain anything for my
country by putting my head in the
Japanese noose I would be very glad
to do so, but I cannot see that I should
serve any good purpose by doing so
now, and it is not my purpose to re

work for Corea here, and look for
greater energy and determination in
support of that work as a result of

me."
-Prince Yl recently sent to President
Roosevelt a request for a private un
official audience. The Prince has re
ceived a reply, in which the President
stated that he would have no time at
present to grant such an audience.
Prince Yi said that he accepted this
as a declination from the President to
see him, and would make no effort in
that direction at present.

Professor Frederick Starr Fears
Prowess of Little Brown Men.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12. Professor Frederick
Starr, anthropologist of the University

the United States in war. He says it is
a great task to send the American fleet

he made were: "Japan, following our

OPERATORS WIN POINTS
Judge's Decision Favors Them In
Issue With Railroads.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 12. Judge Van
Fleet in the United States Circuit Court
today rendered a decision In the matter
at issue between "the Order of Railway
Telegraphers and the Southern Pacific.
The decision favored the telegraphers on
three out of four principal points which
had been appealed for decision before an
arbitration board. Judge Van Fleet re
versed the decision of the arbitration
committee that the appointment of station
agents whose annual earnings equal or'
exceed $1300 annually shall be controlled
by the schedule of agreement between the
telegraphers and the railroad company.
The board of arbitration which consider
ed the matter was formed several months
ago under the provisions of the Erdmann
act, which limits the hours of employment
of telegraphers on railroads.
