THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 20. 1901. OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE WILL NOT SAVE BOSSES Republican Citizens in the Fight to Win Good Local Gov- ernment—Peculiar Attitude of the State Administration. Is Gage Behind Kelly and Crimmins in Opposition? HE Republican State Committee | will meet at 2 o'clock this after- noon &t Golden Gate Hall on Sut- ter street. The meeting was alled on petition of Augustus chairman of the Kelly-Crimmins Committee. The bosses noting the g strength and influence of the Re- publican Primary League, and fearing that good citizens composing the league membership would give a finishing stroke to bo m at the primary election on August 13, apPealed for help to the State Committee. The fact is obvious that the members of the State Committee have been called together to bolster up and mulate the lowest grade of bossism in California. The contest in which the com- mittee is called to interfere is purely mu- nicipal. There are no State functions to perfcrm. There is no party ticket to rec- ognize, for under the primary election law the party column is left blank for names to be filled in or pasted on the ballot. A s put forward that the Elec- | sioners of San Francisco de- | sired the committee to decide a question | as to the apportionment of delegates. The Election mmissioners asked nothing of the kind. The petitioners for the meeting of the State body are the bosses behind | the Tilden committee and the respondents | are the bosses in the State Committee. Representation by Proxy. - State Committee did not begin until Kel- 13' and Crimmins saw plainly that the rimary League, composed of reputable Republican citizens, was extending its influence for good local government to every district in the city. In the appeal for outside help the bosses admitted tneir own weakness and demoralization.’ No matter what the committee may do to- day, the power and strength of the league wiil not be 1mpal§ed by the inter- ference. In fact indicatfons point to re- newed determination on the part of citi- zens to rally at the primary election and rout the boss element in every district. Anti-Boss Clubs. Anti-boss clubs recently organized in the Tweniy-eighth and Twenty-ninth Assem- bly dllsu'k‘ls, the old strongholds of Kelly and Crimmins, are daily receiving large accessions of membership. Anti-boss vie- tory in the Twenty-ninth District is al- ready assured, and the work of enroll- ment is_proceeding with unusual rapidity in the Twenty-eighth District. At headquerters of the Primary League, 930 Market street, cheering reports come from every district. It is known to the taxpayers and other representatives of good citizenship that an alliance has been formed by Sam Rainey and Martin Kelly, by which the former agrees to “help out his old boss partner with reinforcements of Democratic push. In the struggle for good local government the people of San Fraricisco have other foes than those in | the Republican State Central Committee, hence there should be a movement tow: consolidating all the independent anti- Members of the State governing body 1 the interior wiil not as a rule | ngs in person.

But the Coffee Habit Can Be Put Off. “] was a coffee user from early child- hood, but it finally made me So mervous that I spent a great many sleepless nights, starting at every sound I heard and suffering with a continual dull head- ache. My hands trembled and I was also troubled with shortness of breath and pal- pitation of the heart. The whole system showed a poisoned condition and I was told to leave off coffee, for that was the cause of ft. I was unable to break myselt of the habit until some one induced me to try Postum Food Coffee. “The first trial the Food Coffee was fiat and tasteless and I thought it was horrid stuff, but my friend urged me to try again and let it boil longer. This time I had a very delightful beverage and have been enjoying it ever since, and am now in a very greatly improved condition of health. “My brother is aiso using Postum in- stead of coffee, and a friend of ours, Mr. W., who was a great coffee user, found mself growing more and more MNervous was troubled at times with dizzy spells, His wife suffered with nausea and indigestion, also from coffee.

It is regarded as significant that Gov- ernor Gage has passed most of his time at the Palace Hotel in this city sihce the State Committee resolved to interfere in local affairs. It is also noted that Daniel Kevane, secretary, and Walter Parker, expert of the State Board of Examiners; Adjutant General Seamans, Eddie Conroy, Johnny Mackenzie, Ben Fehneman, Dr. Lawlor, H. W. Dinkelspiel and others of the State administration coterie are act- ively engaged in this locality. Promises of employment on the water front have been given to induce party workers to get in behind Kelly and Crimmins in the local | contest. It is common belief in political circles that Governor Gage is giving coun- tenance and support to the bosses who are combining to loot this city.

Pa., July 19.—The strike situation to-night cannot be termed ma- terially changed, although many rumors are in the air to the effect that a settle- ment of the troubles is imminent. Up to |10 p. m. none of these reports has been verified and the conclusion reached is that no settlement is in sight. From the storm-center at Wellsville, 0., to-night comes word that the"striking | millmen in that vicinity spent an uneasy, longer any-| restless day. There is no doubt that the owners of the Wellsville papy have many of the town's largest merchants back of them in their fight against the workmen, and much bitter- ness has resulted. Confronted with what seems a certainty that if the present trouble goes along much farther the Wellsville plant will be lifted and brought | across the line into Pennsylvania, groc- | ers, ciothing men and others who for | years have received the wages of the mill trying to show the strikers that they are ;sgilg and foolish in keeping up the Pressure brought to bear along this line, the strikers say, is energy wasted, as they are more determined to-night than before. They are more than angry with the merchants. These Wellsville men have been considered excellent work- men, and many of them have money in- vested in property there, so that, should the mill be taken to Vandergrift, as !s threatened, they would suffer. They do not_believe the promise, which accom- panies the threat, that the mill from Denison, O., will be brought to this place in case the present trouble is settled. Word was received here to-day that a considerable shipment of Welsh plate is now on the water en route to New York. It is reported that a portion of this will come here if the shortage continues. It will be much more costly than the Amer- ican make, but the exigencies of some of the local consumers are so impérative that they will pax no attention to cost. I long continued, the strike is sure to be a good thing for the Welsh makers, whose trade for some time has been in an apa- thetic condition. L e e i e e e ] ) WOULD INSTALL LOUIS NAPOLEON An Alleged Conspiracy to Overthrow French Republic. LONDON, July 19.—The Pall Mall Ga- zette to-day publishes a communitation from its Paris correspondent giving cir- cumstantial details of an alleged conspir- acy to overthrow the French republic and install Prince Louis Napoleon as Em- ror. The correspondent is assured that ptember 14, upon_which date the Czar intends to promote Prince Louis to a_full generalship in ihe Russian army, has been selected as the occasion for a demonstra- tion to aupgort the claims of this Frince, who is such a close friend of their Rus- sian ally, by all the elements opposed to the present regime, The names of M. Deroulede, the Marquis de Lur-Saluces and M. Marcel-Habert are mentioned as the leading spirits of the movement, and ceveral high functionaries of the present Government are alleged to be assisting with funds. ————— Health Department Appointments. The Board of Health met last night and mage the following appointments: Wil- liam A. Tobin, steward in patients’ din- ing-room; J.

A aEB One of the latest possibilities in the strike line is one which may involve the car conductors and gripmen employed by the Market-street Rallway Company. For some time past a number of employes on the varlous lines formed the idea of organizing a union and proceeded to en- list the co-operation of their fellow work- men. The matter was carrled on very quietly and a provisional union was | formed. A few meetings were held and things were progressing smoothly, many of .the employes agreeing to join. Just how far the organization had pro- gressed no one seems to know. On Tues- aay, however, tome of the officers of the Market-street Rallway Company nctified nine of their employes on the Powell and Sacramento streest lines that thelr ser- vices would no longer be required. Among these were some of the oldest employes of the company. This was followed the following day by the discharge of sixteen more men. When an explanation was de- manded the men were not. given much satisfactlon, but were told in parables | what a terrible thing it was to belong to a union and its evil effects upon the workingman and his employer. The men were rather surprised at the action taken | and the discovery of their plans. How- ever, being out of *the employ of the | company, they have since been inciting | the working employes to unite with them and tle up the entire system. None of the conductors or gripmen ap- proached last night would ~discuss the question of a car employes’ union or [ whether they would make a demand for | adaitional pay. But the twenty-five dis- charged men are energetic in working up the matter and may, with outside assist- ance, succeed in accomplishing thelir ends. Locéal labor leaders profess not to know of the existence of such a union. Meetings of both the Draymen’s Associ- Ianon and the Brotherhood of Teamsters | were held last night, but no definite re- sults were reached. The meeting of the | Draymen’s Association was largely at- tended, all the leading draymen of the city being present. After a lengthy dis- cussion it was decided, in the event of the Brotherhood of Teamsters giving no- tice of further demands, to leave the mat- ter in the hands of the executive commit- tee, which will endeavor to reason with their employes. One of the delegates from the Brother- hood of Teamsters at the San Francisco | Labor Council last night reported that | his organization expected to tie up the hauling business of this city to-day unless | their demands were granted. In order to | strengthen the fight of the teamsters, a | formal boycott was declared against the Morton Special Delivery Company. This has been pending for some weeks. Al- though the Morton Drayage and Ware- house Company has been unionized, it has been doing considerable hauling for the special delivery concern. Drivers of teams who belong to other drayage com- panies cannot now handle any freight for their firms if they assist either. President J. A. Kelly of Machinists’ | Union No. 68, has just returned from the Grand Lodge of Machinists, held recently | in Toronto. He has been absent about six weeks and returns pleased with the | outlook, saying that the men are still | preserving an unbroken front and are prepared to do so for a long time. { _President McCabe of the Iron Trades a break-in' the ramks of the employers. He said the men were standing firm and the outlook was most promising. is coming in from the East and larger moretary beneflts are being disbursed. From Seattle the report comes that the | men are returning to work under the new | schedule. A notice of the proposed withdrawal of the Carpet Mechanics' Association was received by the San Francisco Labor Council last night and referred to the executive committee ‘for consideration. The proposition to indorse the publica- tion of a labor journal under the auspices of the council and the guidance of the executive committee was indorsed. | "W. A. Mullen, a yaung man from So- | Works some six months ago and was | working in the sawmill, had his left hand cut off yesterday afternoon by a circular saw.

Tt 1s expected that Judge Troutt will re- | turn from his vacation on Monday and hand down a decislon in that portion of | the Fair case which relates to the dispo- sition of the personal property. Although it was vacation time with Judge Troutt, he has devoted considerable of his leis- ure time in preparing the opinion. Following up the line of reasoning that has obtained in his previous decisions, those who are in a position to know say that it will be in favor of the heirs, Charles L. Fair, Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Oelrichs. The claims of Mrs. Nettie Craven-Fair will not receive recogni tion, but her attorneys will prob. ably take exceptions to the decision and endeavor to carry the matter to the Supreme Court. This decision practically winds up_ the affairs of the estate as far as the distribution of prop- erty goes, but there are a number of actions pending that will prolong the liti- gation. —_———————— To-Day’s News Letter. “What the Sea Serpent Sees” is the tempting title which heads Mrs. Chaun- cey De Wit's critique on clothes in this week's News Letter.

PLEASURE TRIP BAINGS TRAGEDY Five Persons Drowned in Disaster to a Yacht. ——- NEW -HAVEN, Conn,, July 19.—Five persons were drowned in the sound yes- terday afternoon by the capsizing of the yvawl-rigged yacht Venitzia of Philadel- phia at a point five miles east of Sands Point, near the New York and Connecti- cut line. Two only of those on board the yacht were rescued. The drowned are: ARTHUR C. COLBURN, owner of the yacht, and his daughters, Ida and An- nette_Colburn_of Philadglphia. CAPTAIN FLINT of Brooklyn, N. Y., master of the yacht, and a sailor, name unknown. T'he others on board the ill-fated craft, Mrs. Walter J. Sprankle of Philadelphia and daughter of the owner of the yacht, and the steward, James -Stanbridge of New York, were rescued by the tug Gert- rude after clinging for two hours to the bottom of a capsized longboat. The yvacht left Delaware City Monday morning, bound for Newport. Yesterday | morning it started from Thompsonville, S.' L, the intention being to put into Black Rock, Conn., last night and take on board Mrs. Sprankle’s husband. Ac- cording to the story of the steward, the accident happened” between 3 and 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. The sky was squally and the steward says he heard Colburn say to Captain Flint that it | would be well to take in some of the. light sails, but the captain replied that the hoat: would stand all the wind that was coming. She then had on all of her light sails, including jibs, staysail and topsail. Steward Stanbridge says he was in thef galley preparing supper when he heard an unusual futtering of the jibs and felt the boat hee! over. He rushed on deck and was about midships when the craft capsized. When he found himself in the | water he attempted to grasp one of the sails, which lay on the water, but found that it was sinking, and he then swam for the yawl's tender,: which was bottom up. As he was supporting himself at one end of the boat Mrs. Sprankle, who is an expert swimmer, caught hold of the other end and they balanced themselves ‘thus until the tug Gertrude appeared and the attention of those on board was attract- ed by shouts. When picked up both were thoroughly exhausted, but have partially recovered to-day. The steward saw nothing of the others of the party after the disaster and be- lieves tfial some were carried under by | the sails and rigging, and that others were drowned in the cabin. The yacht Venitzia was built in 1880 in Mystie, Conn., and was elaborately fin- | ished and furnished. She is fifty feet long, with a net tonnage of thirty-one. PHILADELPHIA, July 19.—Arthur T.

Four boys, while rowing[ past Black Point about 2 p. m., were fired upon from the beach and one of them was sttuck over thé heart by a bullet. The wounded lad was sent to the Central Hospital, but the surgeons were unable to.locate the bullet. The chances are against_his recovery. Paul Wissig, 16 years old, whose home Ls at 1224 Union street, is the wounded 0y. Yesterday young Wissig, Fred Kelley, Arthur Manning and John Shipley se- cured a Whitehall at North Beach and went for a row. When 100 yards off Black Point some one fired at them with a par- lor rifle from the beach. Wissig, who was at the oars, quickened his stroke as the bullet passed over his head. The rifle spoke again and a bullet struck Wissig under the right arm in a line with the nipple. Wissig droppe dthe oarg and fell in the bottom of the boat. His companions rowed buck to Meiggs wharf and from there the wounded lad was sent to the hospital. Some one has been practicing on pass- ing White] . from the Black Point beach for wéeks past. One Whitehall now at North Beach has two bullet holes in her and another has three. The boat which Wissig was rowing also shows the marks of flying missiles. The shooting of young Wissig will probably put an end to the malicious practice of firing on boats.
