1 San Francisco, Oct It. Aba Reuf.
boas of San Francisco, driven to bay by
the wave of Indignation walch followed
in the wain of tit numerous atrocities
that have mad property and even life
unsafe la this city during the past two
Months, rendered uneasy by the storm
fir protest against Inefficiency in pub
lic office, appeared this afternoon at
the mass meeting called to organise a
committee of on hundred and there
vigorously and skillfully defended hlm
aelf and the administration for which
He la universally held responsible. He
came, be said, not aa one Interested
lr. the movement but aa a cltlsen. and
with him east a large number of hla
personal and political supporters. In
structed to cheer for him and make pub
lic sentiment in his favor. Aa la usual
with demonstrations planned by Boas
Ruef. hla program went through with
out a hitch, and for almost aa hour the
astute manipulator stood bareheaded on
the steps of the promotion committee's
building In Union Square and mad hla
defense.
Ruef a following far outnumbered the
members of the various organizations
Who have been called on to appoint the
'posed committee. The latter planned
to hold the gathering Indoors, but before
the hour set for the convention, so
many Ruef men occupied seats in the
small hall that no room was left for
those who planned and organised the
movement. So all adjourned to the
Hark. There several hundred persons,
among whom were many prominent in
the buslnoaj and professional life of the
city, wet gathered; and there the res
olutions framed by a committee ap
pointed last Thursday were adopted.
The meeting waa then immediately
adjourned, but the crowd remained to
hear the defense of the Schmlts admin
istration. The boss and his followers were com
.felted to listen to some bitter denun
ciations of their methods. A. B. Tru
man, amid considerable cheering, vehe
mently and reepstedly branded Ruef as
i a man that profits by the shame of
flfomen, as a grafter, and as the on
5WSOO responsible for the orgy of crime
mt Is terrorising this city. In addl
on to this excoriation, resolutions
Were read and loudly cheered In which
tjbe declaration was made that:
"Notice Is aerved on the whole ad
' ministration of San Franclaco and the
criminal element that the law-abiding
citizens of this city intend to compel
the enforcement of the law against
crime and graft In all their forms, and
tb that end will take a hand theamelves
as may appear necessary for the pro
tection of the people against political
conditions; that they will meat lawless
ness with Justice, and do not Intend to
submit to the delays and failures of the
present method of administering the
law, but fully Intend to see to It that
law and order Of a substantial type are
made the order of the day and that
forthwith."
When the meeting waa oalled to order
the resolutions framed Thursday even
ing were read. They declared that
united effort Is necessary to rehabilitate
the city, and to overcome the difficul
ties now confronting the oltlzena, that
moral courage and determined action
are necessary to secure and preserve
the best Interests of Baa Frsnclaco, and
that It was the sans of the meeting
that ft citizens' committee of 100 be
sppolnted to further all things that
may be for the best interests of the
city and state and to advocate and do
auch things aa will ' moat speedily re
store and enhance In prosperity of San
Francisco.
The resolutions declared that the com
mittee shall be composed of two repre
sentatives from each of th local civic
and otner organ Isat long and enough
other citizens appointed at large by the
chair to make up th required 100.
BIG STICK NOT SWUNG

the Standard Oil Is that It would be ad
visable for the government forces to
see what the outcome of th prosecu
tions in Ohio will be. Yet the bureau
of corporations has been at thla investi
gation for about II months, and every
now and then the statement la given
out that th bureau will soon have fin
ished its report. As is well known,
the report must go to the president first,
and he takes up th matter with the attorney-general.
Oreat Deal of
There was a vast deal of rumor and
report about the department of Justice
today to th effect that th attorney
general was surely to resign about Jan
uary 1, and there were promises that
the whole Standard Oil business will be
wall under way by that time. That
meana that there will scarcely be time
to give the public sny Idea aa to wheth
er the Standard Oil will be brought into
court before election.
On of the flimsiest of th state
ments yet made Is that the ad minis t ra
tios la so modest that If It did an
nounce a program against the Standard
Oil company new It will be "accused of
doing it for political effect." The total
responsibility, it may be said, rests
with th White House. That Is true
for the reaaon that when th bureau of
corporations and other government
agencies began to work up th oasa
against ths Standard Oil company it
was stipulated tnat the matter should
be eubml tted to the White House, and
it Is well known that Mr. Garfield baa
been a frequent visitor at the White
House, sometimes reporting on the
Standard Oil case and at other times
playing tennis. Th president must
therefore, have been aware of the
status of the Standard Oil Investigation
an aiong and rr it were deemed advis
able to avoid th Imputation of pro
ceedings against ths Standard Oil luat
before election the president could have
ordered the work done long ago.

Today the departments are savins
that th fact of the foreign complica

great Importance, because the combina

of the United' States. Attorneys Kel

it will possibly be shown before
that th department of justice was al
ways ail ready to proceed and that by
some accident or design that denart-
ment did not have before It all the mat
ter wnicn should be furnished bv the
bureau of corporations.
It waa announced some time azh with
a flourish of trumpets that the bureau
Of corporations -had good esses ready
