I
I T has been remarked of Miss Marie
Doro, the ptar of "The Morals of Mar
cue." who comes to the Bungalow The
ater tomorrow evening, that she Is a
many-sided younff woman. It was also
nld of Charlfs Frohman's talented young
star, by a San Francisco critic, that "We
cannot have too much of Miss Doro."
The average society woman, who re
yards an occasional sitting at her pho
tographer's as a necessary evil cannot
understand the amount of time and atten
tion a popular star like MIks Doro has
to give to sittings.
Before a tour is begun she goes through
whole days of sittings in order to meet
the demands of .legitimate advertising.
Once the tour is bfgun the actrees may
think that her troubles are over In that
direction at least, but in almost every
big city she Is importuned to &rant a
"few minuses," in order that her beau
tiful, mobile features may be perpet
uated on the photographer's platee.
The more beautiful the woman and the
more popular, the greater, of couree, are
these demands and then of course there
Is the Irrepressible press agent (another
necessary, but strictly legitimate evil of
the business) who Is naturally always on
the lookout for some new picture.
And so it is that as star and .agent are
continually traveling, it is arranged that
after every sitting a miniature group of
all the pictures taken at that time is
made especially for the agent, each pic
lure of each group carefully numbered or
lettered and records kept by the agent
and the different photographers. That
Is how Miss Doro's agent can wire from
Portland to some one of 12 cities for any
particular one of the 400 pictures for
which his star had sat and which may
be required to fit the particular taste of
some newspaper.
BOMB DROPS AMONG DEMOCRATS
California Primary Law Decision Destroys McNaVs Source of Power Bay City's Mayoralty Candidates Frank
Thompson Wasting His Fortune.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAX FRANCISCO, July 10. (Special.)
A bomb dropped Into the Democratic
camp could not have caused more con
fusion than did the primary law de
cision of the Callforn1 Supreme Court,
in which the validity o 4he law was up
held. Heretofore, Qavin McXab haa
been able to take advantage of the situ
ation which at some stage of every cam
paign develops and unites under one ban
ner, which was the ensign of MeNab,
all the disaffected and discordant ele
ments of the different political organiza
tions. In this manner, a fusion was
usually affected, by which the MeNab
Democrats usually secured a good share,
If not. a majority, of the patronage of
flces. and for years have dominated the
.Board of Supervisors.
But the decision of the Supreme Court
would seem to have rendered McNab'8
usual line of tactics Impossible. Under
It. the only element remaining for him
to fuse with Is the Democratic rump,
whica has been his enemy.
There Is no longer any doubt that Dr.
,T. TV. B. Iceland, the - present Coroner,
will be the nominee of the regular Demo
cratic machine for Mayor. Ralph Mc
Ieran was nominated by the rump con
vention of nolterB, but Iceland will make
a monkey out of him at the primaries.
The decision of the Supreme Court
played havoc with the ticket nominated
by the I'nlon Labor party. About two
thirds of the nominees were found to be
Ineligible, and the leaders are now try
ing to patch up a new slate.
Republican Politics.
The local Republican party, or ma
chine, as some prefer to call It, is in
fine shape for the campaign. It repre
sents more than one-half the registered
vote of the city. 66 per cent xof which
has designated Its party affiliation as
Republican. There Is an opposing fac
tion calling itself the Municipal League
of Republican Clubs. The ticket selected
by this rump organization includes Byron
3Iauzy as its candidate for Mayor. "but
2klauzy is not generally considered a
strong candidate. .
William Crocker. . the mill man. It is
generally believed, will be the candi
date of the regular . Republicans and it
is thought he will have but little trouble
to secure the nomination.
A Newspaper "Scoop."
The killing of Miss Helen Braech, the
bookkeeper in the employ of Gray Bro
thers, contractors, the arrest of Norvalk,
charged with the crime, and the ultimate
discovery that it was James E. Cunning
ham who committed the crime, has been
the source of much gossip In San Fran
cisco the last few days.
The crime was simple enough. Some
stranger appeared at the bookkeeper's
window, disputed with Miss Brasch as to
the amount of his wages and shot, her
dead. It happened that Norvalk. a . la
borer, was In the office at the time and
was arrested on suspicion.
And the following night the Call se
cured a wonderful newspaper "beat." It
had the full confession of Jamen Cun
ningham that he had killed Miss Brasch
and that he told the story because he did
not want an Innocent man to suffer. He
said he was "sore" because the company
would not pay him his wages and wanted
to cheat him, and that he intended to get
even. -
So far as the Call was concerned, it was
on accidental story. Cunningham was
wandering around in the vicinity of Third
nd Kearny streets, looking for some one
to whom he could confess. Finally he
eaw the Call offices and went up to the
editorial rooms. When he tried to tell
his story, the men In charge thought he
was crazy And tried to kick him out. But
Cunning-ham persisted until they realized
that he was telling the truth. Then they
made him a virtual prisoner, held their
edition back for two hours and at 5
o'clock in the morning delivered Cunning
ham over to the police.
Resentment is not so strong against the
murderer as against Gray Brothers and
their vicious practices. It is their custom
to make the laborers wait a month or
even two months for their pay. Then they
give the men time checks, which they are
told will be paid in another month. The
men are given a tip. however, that they
can take their checks to a certain loan
office and get cash by discounting them
20 per cent. This practice has caused
endless disputes, until it was little sur
prise that something of this kind hap
pened.
Frank Thompson, son of the million
aire railroad man Thompson, of Oregon
fame, whose father's estate and whose
own divorce brought him prominently to
the foreground recently, is once more In
the limelight. The most recent affair is
the mysterious theft of jewelry and furs
to the value of J17.000 from Thompson's
bedroom. A portion of the jewelry be
longed to Thompson and the rest to Hazel
Northrup or Hazel Gray, as she is var
iously known to the night life, with whom
the police say Thompson has been liv
ing since his wife, Ella Gertrude Thomp
son, secured her divorce last May. .
When the couple awoke one morning,
the valuables were gone. They had been
taken in a strange manner from a locked
trunk standing near the bed. According
to the police, Bernard White, a gambler,
who knows the Northrup woman inti
mately, has been following Thompson

KI EDWARD AND SICCESSORS TO GREAT BRITAIN'S THRONE.
NEW YORK. July 10. (Special.) This .is a unique photograph of
the present King of .Great Britain, the immediate heir to the throne
and his successor. Recently there has been much talk about the health
of King Edward and It is said a celebrated specialist was called from
Vlejtna to Indon to examine him. When the King took the throne It
was the general belief that he had some organic trouble and his illness
at coronation time seemed to confirm this belief. But the report proved
to be unfounded The King takes very good care of himself and it mav

Edward becomes heir to the throne.

where they have been staying and now
the police want to know more of White
and what he haa been doing.
Mrs. Thompson, who secured & divorce
from her husband two months ago. said
that he had ben informed the Northrup
woman had secured from Thompson
checks, jewelry and costly furs aggregat
ing JSO.000. She declares further that her
ex-husband haa been in terrible condition

Some Railroad Plums.
Some fine railroad plums are to fall
soon on This Coast, owing to the ap
proaching completion of George Gould's
Western Pacific overland railroad. Presi
dent Jeffery of the Western Pacific and
Denver & Rio Grande system, who is one
of Gould's righthand men in New York,
and A. C. Ridgeway, of Denver, general
manager of the Denver A Hio Grande,
will make the appointments.
It Is said the programme will be. to have
either W. 3. Martin, of Denver, or Ernest
Stinger, of 8alt Lake, come here as
general manager. w. S. Shot well, at
present the local general agent of the
Gould lines and a director of the Western
Pacific, will undoubtedly be made gen
eral freight agent, and Frank A. Wad
leigh, brought out from the Denver &
Rio Grande, as the general passenger
agent.
They will each have an assistant and
there is also to be a general superintend
ent with thre assistants. Several hun
dred clerks will also be selected for the
various offices. Shot well Is looked upon
89 one of the coming big traffic men with
the Gould system and it will be no sur
prise if he is eventually made general
traffic manager, with general freight and
passenger a Rents under him.
To Join French Army.
Michael Weil, the dashing young nep
hew of Raphael Wet!, the well-known
merchant prince and clubman, is aoon to
leave for France, his native soil. Young
Weil was brought to this country by 'his
uncle to arn the mysteries of business
and sooner or later to become the posses
sor of the Weil fortune. But Michael is
Just of age now and at the request of his
uncle will return to serve the prescribed
period as a soldier of France.
Few young m4n of the present time
would enlist as common soldiers in times
of peace because they thought they
owed something to their country and
Well's action has attracted not a little
attention.
He was given a farewell dinner the
other night at the French Club and
about 30 of the young bloods of San
Francisco sat down at the banquet board,
which literally groaned with its burden
cost per plate 1s said to have been J15
and at midnight, several hours after din
ner, delectable punch in an Immense cut
glass bowl made the banqueters as merry
as larks.
New Insurance Commission.
The placing of $200,000 of Are insurance
on the contents and buildings at Stan
ford University has given some fat com
missions to 30 or 40 rnsurance brokers.
The latter, by the way, have an associa
tion now. It was organized after the
fire and had a membership of 500. The
admission fee is J.V10. The. brokers do not
make as much money as before April js.
1306. when commissions ranged from 30
to 35 per cent. Today they get 15 per
cent for one year's Insurance on all
buildings. For three years' insurance on
dwellings, the commission is 25 ser cent.
On country property they get 15 per cent!
while in the small towns 10 per cent Is al
lowed, of which 5 per cent goes to the
resident agent. Of all these 500 brokers,
it is said that only 30 make fine salaries!
These 30 control the hulk of the brok
erage business and each averages from
$1500 to $20 a month. Half of the re
maining 470 are said to average $200 a
month and the other half consider them
selves doing well when their commissions
run from $100 to $150 a month. In addi
tion to smaller commissions, the brokers
have other setbacks in their business
Taking a lesson from the catastrophe,
the insurance companies are greatly lim
.iting the amount of insurance they will
accept in any given district of the civ.
Once a company has reached Its given
amount in a locality. It will not take anv
more risks, no matter how good they
may be.
