Daniel A. Ryan for Mayor.
William H. Langdon (or District
Attorney.
A non-partisan Board of Supervis
ors, Including nearly all of the men,
named by Mayor Taylor.
A platform devoted .solely to mu
nicipal issues and affairs.
Candidates pledged not to party,
but to the Interests of the people.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Aug. 21. A
plan of action that Is meeting with much
favor with supporters of the Republican
1-eague. is to have Daniel A. Ryan for
Mayor and W. R. Langdon for District
Attorney, head a union of forces with
Democrats.
It is pointed out . that Ryan knows
three-fourths of the delegates to the
Democratic convention, that he went to
school with many of them and that It
nill be easy for him, to obtain the Demo
cratic nomination after he has been nomi
nated by the Republicans. The omission
at reference to national politics In the
platform and the substitution of a pledge
to the public weal instead of one of
party fealty is expected to add great
strength to the Republican ticket.
Arguments for and asainst fusion are
heard wherever Republicans gather.
Uany voters who oppose a general fusion
believe Republicans and Democrats
should get together on the Mayoralty,
the District Attorneyship and the Board
o'f Supervisors. The idea of sitting down
at a conference and apportioning the of
fices all dovm the line from Mayor to
I'olice Judge does not appeal to soma
of the iniluentl.il members of the league,
and they are not backward in expressing
:heir opinion.
Coalition Is Favored.
"As far as I am -concerned," said Ferry
Newberry, secretary of the league, yes
terday. "I am in favor of going ahead
and nominating our candidates without
resard to party affiliations or to what
any other party may do. Two years ago
the Democrats fused with us, but the
people didn't. This time the people have
already fused, and all we have to do Is
to carry out their wishes."
Ralph L. Hat horn, for many years
prominent !n Republican" politics In the
Thirty-fifth District, but now living In
the Fortieth, spoke his mind freely. "It
will be a coalition, not a fusion," he
said. "This by reason of a spontaneous
demand of the voters, coming alike from
Republicans, Democrats and many mem
bers of the Union Labor Tarty. Looking
at conditions as they exist and setting
aside personal feeling. I regard Daniel
A. Ryan as the man who can make suc
cess certain.
Taylor Making Good Record.
"While Mayor Taylor is an ideal of
ficial and is making a splendid record,
we must not forget that the man who
will sit In the Mayor's chair next Janu
ary must first be elected by the people
In November. Ryan could reach a large
class of voters whom Taylor could not
attract to- his support. Taylor would not
inspire the enthusiasm that would be
aroused by a younger and more energetic
candidate like Ryanv The younger voters
would rally to Ryan, irrespective of party
affiliation.
"Ryan's success and elevation to the
Mayor's chair would be a further
triumph of the forces of good govern
ment in their long conflict to over
come the corrupt Influence of the
Southern Pacific Company. His success
would have a beneficial effect on poli
tical affairs not only in the city, but
throughout the state. Further, it
would proclaim to the' people of the
East in general and to the capitalists
of that and other sections who have
money to invest here that San Fran
cisco had at last entered upon a peace
ful course and that labor troubles
would be reduced to a minimum." j
Democrats Are Lying Low.
Meanwhile the Democrats are lying
low. Many members of that party nat
urally prefer a Democrat at the head
of the proposed coalition ticket, but
the movement in favor of Ryan is
Browing steadily and may reach such
proportions that when the convention
meets no effort will e made to combat
it. James D. Phelan is still being
mentioned, but his name creates no en
thusiasm, principally because it sug
gests to party leaders a disheartening
fight to overcome prejudices aroused
during the last Phelan administration.
Leaders of the Union Labor party
like Thomas F. Eagan are wating to
see what the Supreme Court does with
the appeal of Eugene E. Schmitz. Re
versal of the verdict in the extortion
case and the release of the former
Mayor from the County Jail would
mean his rcnominatlon and a fight at
the polls for "vindication." If Schmitz
stays in Jail he will not be a candidate
for .Mayor, but he will have a deal to
do with naming the man who will take
up the banner that he trailed in the
mid.
NAMES XKW POLICE BOARD
Mayor Taylor Appoints Three Men
to Fill Vacancies.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21. Mayor
Taylor this morning appointed as Po
lice Commissioners Joseph A. Leggett,
attorney and single tax advocate;
Charles A. Sweigert, attorney, and
Hugo D. Kell, retired merchant, to fill
the vacancies created yesterday by the
removal of Commissioners Thomas F.
Finn, A. V. Wallen and John L. Moore,
on charges of misconduct in neglecting
and refusing to remove Chief of Police
Dinon for sross incompetency in of
fice. The three appointees accompanied
by the Mayor's secretary went at once
from the Mayor's office to the office of
the County Clerk and were sworn in.
A. E. Cutler, vice-president of the
Metropolitan Trust Company, will be
appointed to the fourth vacancy in the
Board as soon as it has been created
by the removal of William R. Hagerty,
who thus far has evaded service of
the notification of ouster. It is report
ed that Mr. Hagerty intends to leave
San Francisco for the East today, and
hat his idea in evading: service Is to
prevent for an Indefinite period the
complete . reorganization of the Police
Board.
Mayor Awaits Developments.
Commissioners Finn, Wallen and
Moore "stand pat" on their declara
tions that they will recognize no
power of removal other than the courts,
and they and Chief Dinan will resist
with force any attempt to dislodge
them and to take possess. on of the
Board and records.
The Mayor was asked what course
the new Commissioners would take if
the old Commissioners refused to sur
render their seats and the records. He
replied :
"I don't know what action "the new
Commissioners will take ask them.
They are the ones who will shape their
course, not I. For that matter, the new
Board has not yet qualified. Commis
sioner Hagerty has not been served
with his notice of removal, and it may J
De X siiuii ueLiue l i i.t l a succcssur can
not be appointed until that has been
done. On the other hand, I may decide
that personal service is not necessary,
since he is evading it. and the statute
does not stipulate personal service. In
either event, I shall appoint Colonel
Cutler when the way is cleared.
Will Turn the Other Cheek.
Commissioner Leggett said: "We do
not officially know that the Schmitz
CommUslcners will resist us with force
at ally But, of course, we have no Idea
of meeting force with force. Person
ally it would suit mo very well to
have them resist us formally, for then
our course In law would be perfectly
clear. But we won't -cross the bridge
till we come to it. At 1:30 o'clock to
morrow afternoon, Mr. Sweigert, Mr.
Keil and I. with Colonel Cutler, if in
the meantime he has been appointed,
will go to the Board rooms on Eddv
street ar.d formally announce our In
tention of assuming office. What hap
pens then will shape our future course."
Mr. Leggett did not care to discuss
in advance the policies to be pursued
by the new board. "We are Just now
getting personally acquainted , with
each other," he said. .

TAKE PAPER FROM FRATS
Student Editor Proposes to Give
Others Voice in Berkeley Dally.
BERKELEY, Cal.. Aug. 21. "Tarn" Mr
Arthur, a Portland boy, editor of the
Californlan, the student dally of the Uni
versity, announces that the shareholders
have devised a plan to place the stock
in a greater . number of hands. A few
fraternities hitherto have owned the stock
and elected the officers, editors and as
sistants. There are to be S50 shares of
stock put on sale now at $1 each, the
buyers to have the right to subscribe to
the Californlan at a rate of 10 per cent
less than ordinary subscribers pay, and to
vote for officers.
McArthur made a sly dig at the Uni
versity authorities when he printed a
brief editorial headed, "Green Goods,"
having reference to the old complaint of
the student body about the number of
fees students have to pay. The editorial
was as follows:
EaRt Hail, and the Agricultural. Botany
and Philosophy Buildings received? a coat of
paint during the Summer (in hwior of the
neiv freshman, it is said). There are sev
eral other structures which will probably
receive the same treatment In the future.
Can it be that the authorities contemplate
charging a semi-annual "painting fee" of
$23 ?
MORGAN MAKES NO GUESS
Returns From Europe, but Not Post
ed on Situation.
NEW TORK, Aug. 21. After a four
months' search of the art shops and
gallertes of Europe, picking up treas
ures for his private gallery, J. Pier
pont Morgan returned home today on
the White Star steamer Oceanic.1 Mr,
Morgan displayed keen Interest in the
financial situation. but declined to
make any statement at the present
time, saying that after he had made a
full Investigation of the present mon
etary situation he might have some
thing to say.
"My knov'edge of the situation," said
Mr. Morgan, "is limited, and until I
can look into the matter I will say
nothing. I never make statements until
I can talk faefs. I will not talk about
art, either. I have not read President
Roosevelt's speech."
Sir Casper Purdon Clarke, director
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
said that Mr. Morgan had not talked of
art with him, and gave no Intimation
as to what gifts Mr. Morgan might
make to the museum. He said Mr.
Morgan was deeply interested in the
financial situation at this time.

Thrown in Face by Woman.
OAKLAND, Aug. 21. Deputy Cou ty
Clerk James F. Glover died at Provi
dence Hospital yesterday morning from
the effects of vitriol which was thrown
in his face last Monday morning by
Olive Scully, a woman of the tender
loin, with whom he had quarreled.

of delirium, due to the encroaching ac
tion of the fluid upon the brain tissues.
Cerebral meningitis and heart trouble
were the immediate causes of death.
At the City Prison the.- woman, who
has been held since the arrest follow
ing the attack, went into hysterics
when told that (Slover was dead.
Glover had been a Deputy County
Clerk for seven years. He had been
Clerk of Judge Melvln's department for
some time. He was 32 years old.

sembled Defeat Measure. '
BUFFALO, Aug. 21. No amalgamation
with the Associated Fraternities of
America was the verdict of the National
Fraternal Congress in convention this
afternoon. The vote on the question was
close and it was preceded by a bitter
debate. The next big fight is scheduled
for next Friday, when the election of
officers occurs. It Is understood that
M. R. Talbot, of the Modern Woodmen,
who led the fight for the 28 societies
who favored amalgamation, will be a
candidate for President. On the result of
this election will largely depend whether
the amalgamation issue has been finally
settled.

ilen'ey and Delmas Have Usual Spat
Over Testimony Offered, Defense
Harassing - . Prosecution at
Every Turn - Possible.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Aug. 21.
When the Glass bribery trial was re
sumed this morning In Judge Lawler's
court. Secretary-Treasurer F. W. Eaton,
of the Pacific Telephone Company, con
tinued the reading of the minutes of the
meetings of the Boards of Directors of
the Pacific States Telephone and Tele
graph Company, the prosecution's object
being to show them that Louis Glass, as
vice-president and general manager of
the corporation, had authority to sign
the checks on which the alleged bribe
money was obtained. This occupied the
entire forenqon session, the only Incident
breaking the monotony of the proceedings
being a brief passage between Assistant
District Attorney Heney and Attorney D.
M. Delmas.
"We will prove by these minutes," said
Heney, "that Louis Glass was the ruling
spirit of the telephone corporation."
"So you say," retorted Delmas, "but
we do not admit that to be a fact."
The reading of the minutes by Mr.
Eaton was continued at the -afternoon
session. The record evidence that the
disbursement of the $25,000 alleged bribe
money was not reported to the Board of
Directors so far as the minutes of that
body show, was allowed by the court
over the standing objection of the de
fense. This evidence was offered as cor
roborative of the claim of the prosecu
tion that Mr. Glass possessed and exer
cised the power to authorize bribery.
-In the afternoon the prosecution wasa
harried ' unceasingly by objections from
the defense.

BALLIXGER DISCUSSES PRESI
DENT'S CLASSMATE.
Running Land Office as He Thinks
Best Will Suspend No More
Land Entries In California.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 21. (Spe
cial.) 1'nless the State of California
can prSduce something: more than gen
eral accusations and tlreories, Commis
sioner R. A. Ballinger will not be dis
posed to suspend any more land en
tries in that state on account of the
mlr.eroIogist3' contention that they
contain minerals.
Commissioner Ballinger made a trip
to California and listened to all that
was said there, and 'fre went East
again tonight convinced that the" only
thing CaVjfarnla. could show was a gen
eral charge that the public lands were
being grabbed. In so far as officials
of that state are concerned, the Com
missioner of the General Land Office
has tried to pin them down to proofs
and has failed. Unless his own special
agents produce definite proofs. Com
missioner Bailinger will drop the Cali
fornia controversy.
It leaked out today as an evidence
as to what is in store for the rest of
the reorganization scheme In the land
office that Just before he came West.
Commissioner Ballinger dismissed
Charles H. Chapman, a classmate of
President Roosevelt. The Commission
er of the General Land Office took the
President at his word when Roosevelt
told him to exercise his own judgment,
and decided that Chapman In his posi
tion in the Patent Offioe or copying
room, was not doing his full duty.'
Without consulting any one or even
reading over the civil service regula
tions, Ballinger dismissed Chapman.
The Commissioner stands by that ac
tion and has heard no objection. He
started East tonight, determined to
strengthen the organization he has at
work ferreting- out land frauds and to
clean up all department work as rap
Idly as possible.
ASTORIA WANTS SQUARE DEAL

ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 21. (Special.) For
a long time the merchants of Astoria have
been discriminated against by the Port

In that shipments to the merchants of
other cities are. An effort is now being
made to have the discrimination removed
and today Manager Whyte of the Cham
ber of Commerce sent a communication to
R. P. Schwerin. general manager of the
company, 'as follows:
As per resoluttcn passed by the Chamber
of Con.merce at the last regular meeting
held Monday night, August 1, aa follows:
"Whereas, The Pan Francisco & Portland
Steamship Company Is now and has tor a
long time been discriminating against As
toria shippers. In that shippers from Port
land have their cargoes insumed by said
steamship company, while those from As
toria are not thus cared for; therefore, be
it
Resolved, That the general manager or
this company be respectfully requested to
place Astoria on the same footing with
Portland; and that. If this request Is not
granted by said general manager, that re
lief be sought through the Oregon 8tate
Railroad Commission and the. Interstate
Commerce Commission," I respectfully re
quest your early and careful consideration.
Our merchants were quite heavy losers on
the Columbia, which was recently sunk, as
they were also on the St. Paul and the
Oregon. We ask no favors simplya "square

may have favorable consideration of thu
important matter.

More Excitement Than Seen in Chi
cago Since "Green-Bug" Scare
Last Spring.
CHICAGO. Aug. 21. Reports of frost
all over the Canadian Northwest set up a
whirl of excitement in the wheat market
today. Owing to the poor telegraphic
facilities due to the strike it was impos
sible to learn to what extent, if any. the
crop had 'been damaged, but many in the
trade feared the worst and there was a
rush to buy the cereal, which carried the
May price above Jl to the great dismay of
the bears, who had taken advantage of
the crippled condition of the trade the last
week or ten days to pound the market.
On Monday May wheat sold as low as
9614c and September wheat, which sold on
the same day at 84Sic was boosted today
to 89c- The advance was attended by
a gratifying increase in the volume of
speculation. -
Buying orders poured into the pit from
the outside over the private wires, espe
cially from the Northwest. There was a
wild scramble on the part of shorts to
cover. The pit was thrown Into an up
roar such as was witnessed last Spring
when the price first went up to $1 on the
"green bug" scare.

BUTCHER AN OLD INDIAN
Refusal to Give Wine Results in
Murder Bad Feeling Exists.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 21. Joos
Caplstrano, an Indian, 60 years old, be
longing to the Santa Isabel Reserva
tion, was attacked and killed near
Julian last, Monday by three Indians
of the Anahus Reservation. According
to Capistrano's wife, the assailants,
who were drunk, demanded wine from
her husband, and when he refused the
men attacked him. He defended him
self until one of the Indians seized
an ax and struck him on the head.
Caplstrano died t.he next day.
The Indians who attacked him are
under arrest, and there is strong prob
ability that the tribal feeling between
the two reservations may result In fur
ther trouble, as there Is no love lost
between the Indians.
