All But Albee and .Merrill Will
Help Williams.
HJS STRENGTH SURPRISE
Probability That the Municipal As
soclation Will Put 8 Candidate
-.in tlicl-'eJd to Attempt to
Beat Republican.
Williams' nomination is expected to be
supported by the' greater clcmcnl of the
Republican party, but the reform forces
that' supported Albcs may resolve to put
an independent in the field. Mr. Glafke
and Mr. Rowe said last night after the
result of the primaries was known that
they would support Williams and would
endeavor to have all their friends do the
same. Albee announced that he would not
run as independent, but could not say
what his supporters, chiefly the members
of the Municipal Association, would do.
Merrill declared that he would run Inde
pendent. Before the primaries, leaders of
the Municipal Association openly an
nounced .that they would not line up be
hind Williams were he nominated, and
that they would put an independent can
didate in the field.
They did not, however, a.t that time
foresee that Williams would poll such a
tremendous vote. They were very sure
that- if Williams should, succeed his lead
would be very small. His lead over Albee
of 1000 votes was a tremendous surprlso
to them. and. theyv will probably-concede
that Williams has more strength for the
election than they thought before the pri
maries. .
Even Williams' most ardent supporters
"were surprised at thp remit. They aver
that Williams wIlITiave'no trouble in win
ning In the. election -June 6. They profess
to have no fear that the Municipal Asso
ciation's 'Indorsement of an independent
candidate will defeat Williams of elect

quent prediction o'f'the Lane Democrats.
. Mr. Thomas, the defeated candidate for
the Democratic nomination, said that if
Lane would announce his policy to enforce
the law he would give him his cordial
"support, otherwise he would not.
AVI 1 Hams States Position.
. When the result was made known to
Mayor Williams' last night and he was
asked for a statement, he replied:
. T don't know that I have anything to
say." but studied a moment and went on:
VI have not Interfered, with the other gen
tlemen who sought the nomination. They
had a free field and the people have de
cided. I '.shall expect the other gentle

men to abide by the wish of the party
and support the nomination."-
"How about your platform?" was
asked.
"This -is my platform," he replied. "I
shall follow the .policy that my judgment
dictates and do what I can to promote
the material and moral welfare of the
city, as I said when I announced that I
would be a candidate for rcnomlnation."
Albcc Non-Coniinittnl.
H. R. Albee remarked when all was
known that he had run his course and
would not appear as candidate for
Mayor at this election, independent or
otherwise. He spoke as If the May
oralty had lost ail its charms for him.
and he did even regard it as a sour
grape.
"My course in the present contin
gency was settled long; ago," he said.
"I would not think of appearing as an
independent candidate.
"Will you support -Williams?" he. was
asked'.
As to that T do-not care to say
now," he answered.
Glafke's Influence for Williams.
W. B. Glafke sal In the office of his
commission-house last night and heard
the. returns. When there was no longer
any doubt as to how the primaries
were going, he was asked what would
be Wis future course. f
"It I were beaten by only one vote,
I should quit." he said. "Let the man
who wins the race- go ahead and "win
again at the election. I should not
think of running independent. I shall
not only consider myself out of It, but
I shall turn what influence I may have
in his favor."
When it "is remembered that Mr.
Glafke had a substantial backing-,
with the weight of his influence ho
gave something- which he himself
knew to be valuable. He took his de
feat cheerfully and laughed about It as
if he did not care.
Roivc "for Williams.
H. S. Rowe gave up the battle early
in the evening- and went home. "'1 am
satisfied with the result." he" said, "but
I am surprised at the small. number of
votes polled. The result of the pri
maries, of course, do not. indicate anything-."
"Are you in the deal which is sup
posed -to be on foot to tho effect that
if Mayor 'Wiiyams wins at the pri
maries,' that certain Republicans will
support the Democratic nominee?"
"I certainly am not. nor would I be
In favor of such a move. I think all
good Republicans will be found in line
when the June election rolls around."
Cooper Against Williams.
Spencer IL Cooper declared last
night when there was no doubt that
Williams was nominated that he would
not support the candidate. "He is too
old." said Mr. Cooper. "If he were
more active , and more able to see the
corruption which is laid at his door
with which he has nothing- to do him
self, I would support him. But as It is.
if an independent candidate, who is a
good citizen and a good Republican,
appears. I will vote for him and throw
my influence his way."
Mr. Cooper was asked If he would
vote for the Democratic candidate in
case there were no Independent Re-

CHICAGO, - May 6. Comparative quiet
reigned in the downtown streets today for
the first time since the beginning of tho
strike. There were a few scatterd out
breaks, but there was a complete ab
sence, of the marching crowds that for
days followed the wagons of boycotted
firms through the streets and seized upon
every opportunity- to attack drivers and
wagon-guards. Although there have been
no positive developments as yet. there is
a strong feeling both on the part of the
employers and the strikers that the worst
of the strike has been passed and that
in a few days the streets of the city will
be cleared for traffic
While the fighting disappeared In the
streets in a large measure, it broke out
with great violence-in a war -of words
between the members of the Employers
Association and . the labor leaders.
Charges were . also made against 300
to 500 of the police, it being said that
from the outset they have In many cas
favored the strikers, refusing to arrest
them w-hen they were seen assaulting
nonunion men. and lost no opportunity to
take the latter Into custody whenever it
was possible" for them to find an excuse
for doing so. It Is said by members of
the Employers' Association that captains
and lieutenants of ' police have been dere
lict in their duty In the" suppression of
dloordcr and charges arc filed against
numbers of them' before the police trial
board. Mayor Dunne tonight . appointed
a commission to Investigate the facts In
the dispute.
Confident Rioting Is Ovcr.
The Mayor tonight expressed himself
as confident that the serious .part, of the
strike was over and that there would be
no more excitement in the streets. Sheriff
Barrett expressed similar views and de
clared that there would be no more fighting-,
and that with the deputies and the
police the people could be protected.
t The strike was stimulated somewhat, to-
t -J..E. tWERLKIN, '
day by a walkout of the employes of sev
eral wholesale grocery houses that so
far have not ben concerned in the trou
ble. Forty-four drivers were called out
In three establishments; Tu'gmetf ' also
jSlned the ranks of the strikers, although
there were no formal orders from "their
unions to do so. Nc action was taken
by the tugmens unions as to whether its
members will be permitted to work on
boatu which haul merchandise to boy
cotted housey.
Mayor Dunne's plan for recruiting
the police force by men taken from the,
water department did not prove a great
success. One hundred men were sent in
by Superintendent Levering, of the
Water Department and of these 3S were
chosen for police duty. Several of the
number' declared outright that they
would not smard wagons, while sev
eral mora stated that they had sore feet
and could not walk beside the wagons.
Five men assigned to Inspector Levin-
struck when he ordered them, to guard
a wagon belonging- to Marshall Field
& Co. By night nearly every one of the
38 had been dropped from the rolls of
the Police Department.
False Itcport About Bomb.
A story that a dynamite bomb was
hurled at a United States Express
wagon at West Van Buren and Des-
plalnes streets last night was sent out
from the -Desplalnes-street police sta
tion today. Julius Hlldebrecht, Henry
Pfelffer and Joseph Rogers were ar
rested, but the two latter were dis
missed. Special Agent Eddy, of the
express company said:
, "The alleged bomb was nothing but
a blue powder Inclosed in a breakable
bag-. The man who threw the bag was
arrested and will be prosecuted for
violating- the United States injunction."

SAN FRANCISCO. May 6. W. J.
Arkell, once publisher of Judge." but
now a free-lance "financier, received a
severe Jolt In his career as a mining
stock promoter today when he was
formally suspended from membership
in the San Francisco and Tonopah
Stock Exchange. The suspension was
In consequence o Arkell's failure to
"take up" buying- contracts aggregating-
about $70,000. Arkell. himself, ad
mits that he was pinched in the recent
slump of Home and Home Consolidated
to the tune of $40,400.
The heaviest losers will be his fellow-brokers,
for they will bo obliged
to satisfy the claims of all outside cus
tomers whose connection with the Ar.
kell stocks was Indirect. It is another
case of being- caught long- of stock and
short of margins.
The immediate causo of Arkell's
stumble was the publication In the
newspapers of W. Seward Webb's dis
avowal of any connection with Arkell's
Tonopah Home Consolidated Mines &
Exploration Company, In the face of
Webb's fiat refusal to have anything
to do with the scheme. Arkell printed
his name as one of the directors, thus
calling forth the bolt which smashed
the market Thursday. The names
printed by the mine company In its ad
vertisements are:
T. L. Oddie, of Tonopah, president;
Joseph Lelter, of Chicago, first vice
president: W. J. Arkell. of San Fran
cisco, second vice-president. Directors,
in addition to the foregoing: Senator
George S. Nixon, of Nevada: T. B. Gee,
S. A. Knapp. B. L. Smith, W. J. Doug
lass. J. W. Snelton, M. O. Mansen, A. L.
Hudgens, A. Bush, S. D. Woods, G. N.
O'Brien and W. S. Webb.
The American National Bank, of
which G. N. O'Brien is cashier, was
named as registrar and ther stock of
the Consolidated-was listed on the Ex
change. W. J. Arkell's is an interesting- ca
reer, he having- not only been the pub
lisher of Judge, Demorest's Magazine
and Leslie's Weekly, but was well
known about San Francisco as the
"angel" behind Jack Hornaday's tipping-'
bur.eau. Hornaday. who was
christened Abram Herzog- by his par
ents and now calls himself Graham
Rice, when he is not Maxim Gray, is
at present In the newspaper business
in Tonopah and is said to be Arkell's
silent partner in the booming- business.
When posing- as an Insider of the
San Francisco track, Herzog. or Horna
day, as he was called, had an office at
