(Hearat Nein by Infct Leased Wire.)
San Francisco, July IS. District At
torney Langdon announced today that
the rejection of his Invitation by the
y : labor and commercial organisations to
oooperate In the proposed convention of
20 and rhoose a roan to succeed Charles
Box ton as mayor would force the graft
crusaders to act of their own accord.
"A mayor to aucceed Boxton will prob
ably be named on Monday," aald Ing
don. v e d ( idea to aoanaon me pro
posed convention this morning;, the plan
- being- Impossible without the unanimous
cooperation or tne auiea laoor ana com
merclal bodies. In the meantime we
.cannot coueent to discuss name. The
person we select will be the beat man
we can secure under the circumstances."
Hunting for Han.
Rudolph Spreckels and Langdon were
In conference for several hours today
talking over the choice of a man to
succeed Boston. Special Prosecutor Ho
ney did not attend this conference.
At the conclusion of the conference
between Spreckels and Langdon reports
, were general that a definite understand
ing on the man for the mayor's chair
had been reached.' These reports were
so confused, however, that the formal
assurance given out by the graft pros
ecution that the ultimate decision In "the
( matter would be deferred until Monday
had a very plausible color of probabil
ity. '
E. J. LeBreton, the capitalist and phil
anthropist, and Henry Brandensteln,
chairman of the finance committee of
the former board of supervisors, were
among the names looming up in the talk
following the conference.
Was Tormer Candidate.
LeBreton, It will be remembered, was
. talked of as the mayoralty candidate of
the San Francisco Republican league
' f two years ago. Much farther back than
' that he took an active part In the non-
partisan movement In San Francisco.
LeBreton Is worth several million and
is past 60.
Brandensteln was defeated by Lang-
don for the office of district attorney
"but he is known to have been consid
ered In connection With the mayoralty
prior to the plana for the proposed con
t vention rejected by the labor and com-
mercial bodies.
James D. Phelan and waiter Mac-
"Arthur were among the other names
talked of. The political savants, how'
ever, profess to know that the men se-
lected will not be among these names
f and that the announcement to be made
by the graft proseoutors Monday will
not prove a great surprise to the folks
( who have been keeping their ears close
f mi me gruunu,.
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
San Francisco, July IS. After a
meeting of the Commercial Telegraph
ers' union lasting all the afternoon
and until late this evening 'in Oakland,
it was given out bv several nromlnent
members of the union that the strike
would probably be epded Monday.
M. J. Reldy of Chicago said:
"All thf Commercial Telegraphers
will be back at their keys on Monday.
Concessions have been made which per
mit us to accent the terms offered."
S. J. Konenkamp, vice-president, said:
"The thing for us to do now is to per
fect our organisation."
From what they and others said it Is
apparent that the men who are out on
strike have determined to return and
that the telegraph companies hsve made
some materia concessions aitnougn tnia
denied by western Union officials.
The operators say thev are ready If
It becomes necessary to strike, and they
lay the bUme entirely on the company.
If a strike Is called here it will affect
both the Western Union and Postal com
panies.
- CHICAGO OUTLOOK BAD.
DENIES FIUCTION.
Konenkamp Says Small and Keidy
Are In Perfect Accord.
(Publishers' Press by Special Uaaed Wire.)
San Francisco. July IS. The con
ference of Western Union officials with
Labor Commissioner Mr. Nelll, was
without definite result. An extension
of the strike within a few hours seems
certain. Superintendent Jaynes and As
sistant Superintendent Miller conferred
with Nelll this evening, following an
unsuccessful conference last night.
President Small snd National Commit
teeman Konenkamp, Reldy and Sullivan,
held a--conference with little hope that
any happy result would come from the
company official talk.
Konenkamp denies that there la sny
friction between Small and other com
mitteemen. That Small desires to ex
tend the strike and demonstrate the
power of the union in some other city,
probably Chicago, and foroe the com
panies to terms and that the eastern
men favor a continuation of present
methods seems to be the real status of
affairs here, at least that is the belief
of msny operators.
Bmairs Dlan la Donuiar. Tne rank and
file of the union here dispatches say
it's true elsewhere favor an extension
of the strike at once.
Secretary Russell Cannot See Any
Chance to Cheer Up.
(Publlaberi' Prtn br Sperlal Leased Wire.)
Chicago. July 13. "The outlook for
neace is not brlKlit owing to the un-
Romnromlsinr attitude of the telegraDh
companies," declared Secretary Russell
of the Telegraphers' union late tonight
'we have made no progress toward
settlement The patience of the men
Is almost exhausted. They are acting
conservatively, however, and unless the
companies do sometning to arousevtiem
they will let present negotiations take
their lull course.
The following dispatch was received
tonight from President Small In San
rranclsco:
"Announce positively that both tele
graph companies are now mora em.
barrassed than on the first day of the
striae, wiu wire you sometning defin
ite Monday evening. The public, state I
and federal ofllcuua. chamber of com

, SCHMITZ TURNED DOWN
: Court Refuses to Order Judge Dunne
to Set. Date for Hearing.
(Betrst News by tAogest Leased Wire.)
': San Francisco. .July IS. Eugene B.
Schmlts' suffered a setback this morn-
Ing when his suit for a writ of mandate
to compel Judge -Dunne to set a time
for hearing his bill of exceptions came
up before the district cqurt of appeals,
snd was Indefinitely continued. In the
answer filed by Judge Dunne, Schmlts
is accused of practicing deception upon
' the court. Presiding Justice Cooper and
Justice Kerrigan nnd Hall found noth
,; ing In the conduct of Judge Dunne that
! furnished them grounds for issuing the
. writ. Judge Cooper. In finally contlnu
vlng the matter, said:
" . "1 think it is manifest In these pro
' tseedlngs that the judge knows his duty
? r and intends to do It."
In his complaint for a writ of man
date Bchmltz had charged that Judge
Dunne was biased, that he had refused
fto settle the bill of exceptions or that
' he was purposely hindering Schmltz
v from getting his appeal in shape in
'. order to keep, the convicted mayor In
, the county Jail.
.i , In his answer to the complaint. Judge
' Dunne denied the accusations. He fur
ther stated that he had Inadvertently
overlooked the- matter of fixing the
date, but that no time had been wasted,
as it was a voluminous document of
' 00 pages to which the uistrlct attorney
i was preparing amendments.
T "I do not see why," eald Presiding I
Justice Cooper in dismissing the hear-
ing, "the time Of this court should be !
taken up with such a hearing. We will
allow the matter to stand for a few
days and if Judge Dunne does not do
r his duty we will see that he does."

pends upon whether United States Labor
commissioner neiii was aDie 10 eneci
a settlement of the trouble in San Fran
Cisco today. The operators expect to

President Ahearn of the local union to
night said:
"If the situation Is not cleared in
San Francisco by Sunday the,strtke or
der will be flashed acrosg'JttK wires, to
take effect immediately. If .'the tele
graph companies turn down Mr. Nelll,
the way they have the operators, a
strike all over the country will follow."

Keep Well
with Good Food
Proper selection of Food
the sur way to get well
and keep well. Use
Grape-Nuts
A Missouri woman says
j "While getting; over the grip, and
'while my stomach was so irritable I
could not eat anything without distress,
..I found 1 could take a dish of Grape
, Nuts with cream or good milk, and reel
, built up like I had eaten a full meal,
and yet have none of the unpleasant ef
; fects of indigestion. I wish people
4 knew Its worth.
"It seems to me trained nurses and
, physicians could use It to such good ad-
. vantage. It is really the most nourlsh-
, Ing and easily digested food I ever
. tried." ,
Grape-Nuts food is now recommended
, by physicians all over the world. They
know it contains the delicate particles
of Phosphate of Potash obtained from
the field grains. This is the clement
. Nature combines with albumen of the
food to build the soft gray substance in
. the nerve centers and brain. In the
numn nody. The effect is in some
' ways like a stimulant, but does hot
