SPLIT BETWEEN MAYOR AND CHIEF
MAY MEAN OUSTING OF POLICE HEAD
McCarthy and Seymour Said to Have. Come to End of A rjument When Latter Eef uses to Stand for Reopening of
Soif Housea-Pacific Liner Siberia Ha Queer Stowaway. Who Is Sent Back to Asia.
PT H.XRRT B. SMITH.
SAX FKANC1."0. CaL. April .
peclal. There have been persls.
tent rumors ln the air for the past
two weeks to the effect that there 1 a
split between Mayor McCarthy and
Chief of Police Seymour that may
eventually result ln the Chief being
forced out of th department. In fact. I
one recent story had It that the Chief
cf Police, dissatisfied with present con
ditions, had tendered his resignation
and later had decided that If there was
to be an open clash, he would force the
Jlntor to oust him.
The story goes that the punishment
meted out to the Mission saloon and res
taurant owners for setting liquor with
out meals and to women caused the
Mayor to make a personal visit to Po
lice Commissioner Walter O'Connell a
few days ago for th purpose of pro
testing the action of the board.
The trial of Captain Harry Gleason
for allowing such conditions Is said to
have aroused the Ire of the Mayor, and
the affair Is said to hav culminated In
a suggestion that more attention to
strict police duty and less hectoring of
the men under him would be better for
the discipline of th department.
X Winking at Law Violation Now.
Another matter which Is said to hav
occasioned trouble Is th alleged re
fusal of th Chief to countenance vio
lations of th ordinance prohibiting
music ln th beach resorts after 1
o'clock In th morning. The Chief Is re.
ported to have refused to allow his men
to wink at th violations of th law.
unless he Is given a written order from
the Mayor or Chief of Police.
Th final straw Is said to hav been
Thief Seymour's refusal to stand for
the reopening of the Chinese gambllns?
houses. This project has been under
wsy for some time, and It was thought
that everything was settled when ttoe
Chief balked.
Chief Seymour has since Issued a gen
eral denial that he has had any trouble
with the powers that be. but the gen
eral outlines of the affair are known to
be quite correct. When McCarthy was
running for the Mayoralty, the Royal
Arch gathered a Large campaign fund.
It being generally understood that the
beach cafes and those In the section
known as the fiarbary Coast would en
joy special privileges In the Una of mu-
i dmr'ii and th like.
And now tf-.at these privileges have
been shut off. there Is a sore lot of
r-eoDle! Mayor McCarthy has been try
ing to placate them, but ha. not .uc
reeded very well.

good business lsst month according to

Mendocino leads the other counties, flv
lions having been brought to eartn oj

"That's all right." answered th lad.

It was not for two days that th
