Amendments were offered without num- ber, and the house was well tangled up W Markey of the Brotherhood of Teamsters offered as a substitute for the whole a motion to adjourn for two weeks. Egan rushed over to him and Markey withdrew his substityte, but Chairman Millmore refused to_aow its withdrawal without the consent O the convention. In an impassioned speech Egan said in presenting the motion for adjournment for one week he was only actuated by the highest motives for the good of the cause. DELEGATE THOMAS J. EGAN IMPLORES MEMBERS OF THE UNION LABOR PARTY, ASSEMBLED IN CONVENTION AT METROPOLI- TAN HALL, TO ADJOURN FOR BENEFIT OF TRADES-UNIONISM. asked that candidates be specifically pledged on the matter of the acquirement by the city of the Geary-street Railway franchise. But the spirit of adjournment could not be curbed, even a report from the finance committee presented by Chairman Au- bertine recommending an_assessment of 50 cents on each member having to give way temporarily, only to be taken up| and passed before the close of the meet- ing. The opponents of adjournment fought stubbornly for immediate gction i on it, but were outvoted and ofitgen- eraled. Again Egan returned to his charge, aided by a score of lleutenants through- out the hall. The gallery, which was crowded with partisans of both sides, was very demonstrative, and hisses were fre- quent. Egan stood by his guns, and although frequently interrupted managed to get his reasons for urging the adjourn- STATE ORGANIZATION | OF GERMAN SOCIETIES Preliminary Steps Taken to Form a California Branch of the Na- tional Body. A meeting of delegates from German- American societies of San Francisco was held last’ evening in Union-square Hall for the purpose of forming a branch or- gamization of the German-American League of California. Professor William Zimmerman called the meeting to order and proposed that Dr. Frank Kuckein should be made president. This selection was ratified. A report of the organization of the German-American League in East- ern cities, and especially in Philadelphia, was made by Professor Goetz. 'lphe:‘e are organizations of German-Americans in New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota and other Western and Eastern States which have a. large German - American population, Their purpose is to bring the German so= cieties closer together, to foster the Ger-) man language, to study German literature and kindred topics. There is also a ben- evolent feature connected with the or- ganization. Each State body is affiliated with the national body, which has its headquarters in Philadelphia. In San Francisco there are 140 organizations of German-Americans. Thirty of these were represented at last night's meelh?. After the matter had been thoroughly discussed it was voted to have a committee of scven to stimulate interest among the local Ger- man-American socleties, with instructions to report within fourteen days. The chair- man of this committee is M. A. Bertheau. Longshoreman’s Skull Fractured. Victor Davenport, a longshoreman, the cargo from the schooner A. M. Baxter at sec- tion 3 of the seawall yesterday afternoon, bad his skull badly fractured and the scalp on the left side cf his head lacer- ated by the collapsing of two piles of lumber. At the time of the accident, Davenport was down between decks pass- ing up lumber to the men above. He was taken to the Harbor Hospital, but was later removed to the City and County Hospital. —_——— Petitions in Insolvency. Petifions in insolvency were flled yes- terday in the United States District Court as follows: David La Fontaine, bar- tender, Sacramento, liabilities $787 10, no assets; John Henry Nedderman, farmer, Sacramento, liabilities $742, assets $83 2: ———— Smuggled Cigars Seized. Fifteen hundred and fifty = smuggled cigars were seized yesterday morning by customs inspectors on board the army transport General Dix from Manila. l ¥ ¥ AP, “Matters ars so shaping themselves he said, “that tte adjournment is a mat- ter of political necessity. It is also neces. sary that the cause of unionism may tri- umph. As union men we should know | Wwhat is in the air, but we cannot now make these reasons public.” _When Chairman Millmore put the ques- | tion on the adoption of the substitute he claimed that it was lost, and. that car- ried with it the original motion. Egan appealed from the decision of the chair and Cushing’s parliamentary tactics were handled without gloves. On a vote, Less, who took the chair pending the vote on the appeal, decided ‘the chair had been sustained. Thare was some grumbling at this, when Chairman Millmore exclaimed: “If any delegate is not satisfied, he can come up and take my place.” Delegate Parry finally got the matter straightened out by a new motion, and the convention adjourned for a week. DIMMICK’S EXAMINATION . IS PROCEEDING SLOWLY United States District Attorney Is Evidently Awaiting Action of Federal Grand Jury. The prelimina:y hearing of Waiter N. Dimmick before Commissioner E. H. Hea- cock was resumed yesterday meorning. Two witnesses were examined during the sesslon, and then on an aftidavit made by Marshal B. Woodworth, United States District Attorney, that his presence was necessary before the Federal Grana Jury during the afternoon, further hearing was continued until Thursday morning at 10 o’clock. It is evidently the intention of the Dis- trict Attorney to delay the hearing until the Grand Jury completes its investiga- tlon of the three several charges and the $30,000 grand iarceny charge. If indict- ments should be found. the case will then be removed to the Federal courts, The morning session brought out noth- ing of any signal importance. W. K. Cole, cashier of the Mint, testified that the moneys of the Mint were not in his custody, but in the hands of the superin- tendent, who was responsible for their safety. His duty was to pay out- on orders through the superintendent or his chief clerk. Timothy Fitzpatrick, the vault porter, testified that he knew nothing about thé Selby Dbills. It was the custom for him to receive orders from the cashier to de- liver 'so many sacks of gold to Selby's. He loaded the sacks on the trucks and the cashier counted them. He gave no re- ceipt to the cashier and the cashier gave none to him. One of his duties was_the exchanging of gold for silver coin. This closed. the testimony on the first charge of embezzling $498. The second charge, that of presenting false claims for $%01, was submitted to the commissioner on the evidence taken for the first charge. Attorney Collins for Dimmick asked that the $30,000 grand larceny charge be taken up at once, claiming that all evi- dence introduced in that charge would be alzlpllcflble to the other three. he District Attorney demurred and the court decided in his favor. —_————— Civil Service Clerks Organize. Steps are being taken for the organiza- tion of the civil service clerks and depu- ties employed in the city government into an association. The object of the asso- ciation is to mutually protect those under civil service in the ‘event that a change ¢f administration would be inimical to the merit system. The association will be crganized on similar lines to the one now existing in Federal civil service. —_— e One beauty about Jesze Moore Whiskey is you can always depend cn its purity. - |.if a leader has been found. { the messenger agrees to bring about an SEPTEMBER 11, 1901. BURNG DEVISES A GLEVER GAME New Political Trick to Sound Republican Delegates. Lack of Leadership Affords Chance to Fool Office Seekers. gt Delegates to the Republican Municipal Convention who are not inclined to sup- port either Tauszky or Riordan for chair- man talk of putting forward John R. Hillman of the Thirty-seventh District for the chairmanship. Hillman is one of the five Grand Hotelers, but his anti-boss record in the County Committee is | straight. He fought consistently against | the surrender of the organization to Kelly and Crimmins. | The delegates who were chosen at the primary election August 13 are still wait- ing and wondering—waiting for some pro- gramme to be presented and Wwondering There have been several conferences and many indi- vidual exchanges of sentiment regarding organization and line of action, but the element of leadership seems to be lack- ing in every delegation. The failure or neglect of delegates to take hold of af- fairs for themselves is giving the bosses | just such an opportunity as the shrewd | political manipulator desires. Colonel Dan Burns appreciates the sit- uation and is now doing local politics in a style that creates infinite amusement for those who are on the inside. There is not a delegation in the convention that he can control in the manner that Martin | Kelly can control the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth District bunches, but he can assume such a mysterious Knowledge of the situation that many of the dele- gates and several of the candidates are persuaded to the notion that a word from his lips will settle an aspirant’s fate. Burns Is Playing a New Game. The new game as played by the colonel is a clever one—really cleverer than any- thing he introduced at Sacramento, bar- ring the Cosper trick. It is played in this fashion: The colonel knows blank as a good fellow, popular and ambitious to hold office. 1!12 knows also that Blank has not the ghost of a chance to get a nomination, yet he sends Eddie Conroy or some other messenger to make a sounding. Blank is approached with a suggestion that he ought to get in the race for Recorder, for instance. Blank listens and responds: ‘Oh, ihere is no show for me. fice, and if I wanted a couldn’t get it.” Blank is assured that his chances are | as good as those of anybody else, and the | hint is thrown out that hé ought to see the ‘‘colonel.” The suggestion that he ought to see the colonel is conveyed as | something profoundly important. Finally I am not in politics for of- nomination. I| interview with the colonel and the time is fixed for “Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the colonel's office.” At Sacramento everything was predicted to happen ‘“next Thursday,” but despite Daniel and all the rest of the prophets nothing h i pened according to prophecy. However, | Blank prepares to meet his colonel at the | appointed time, but before the hour named the colonel calls him, up by “phone.” The colonel sa “I am sorry, but I will not be able to Keep my engage- ment with you at 3 o'clock to-day. I was | detained much longer than I expected to be by other parties. Would it be con- venient to defer our interview until to- morrow, say 3 o'clock?” ‘Where the Colonel Looks Wise. Blank replies, assenting to the postpone- ment, but wondering if the colonel will | not distribute too much of the patronage before the interview takes place. Next | day the appointment is kept. The colonel | is urbane and affable, but in no sense voluble. It is a trick of the colonel’s to | look wise and say little. Still, he greets | Blank with silent warmth and promises to feel the delegates and send for him, | When Blank retires the colonel, in the | vast depths of his profound wisdom, de- cides to send forth messengers to ascer- tain something about the real candidates for Recorder, for example. In due time the messenger returns and tells the col- fight for the place, has many delegates pledged and stands the best chance of | winning. Thereupen Blank is advised to see the colonel again. At the appointed time another interview takes place. The colonel, looking wiser than the wisest of sacred owls, savs: ‘“The convention | will meet on the 16th, but will do noth- ing more than organize. It will adjourn FATHER SHAHAN WILL He Will Deliver the First of Five professor of church history in the Cath- olic University of America at Washing- ton, D.

Liquor Traffic Interests. A meeting of delegates to the San Fran- cisco Protective Association, comprising representatives from the retail liquor trade of this city, was held yesterday at the headquarters of the association, 214 California street, President J. T. Hurley in the chair. Secretary Edmund Lauter- bach presented some interesting statistics as to the numerical strength of the organization. It was decided, after spirited discussion, to take no action of any| political significance until after the ad- | journment of the conventions and then to indorse a ticket that might be relied upon for a conservative administration of the laws affecting liquor trade interests.
