Car 569 of the Ellis street line crashed into west-bound Haight-street car 156 at Market and Fourth streets last night, in- juring four passengers. The wounded are Thomas Bibber and wife, who reside in Oakla Howard Pierce, an agent for the National cash register, and J. M. De- laney, a marine engineer, who lives at 551% Howard street. The injured were all | passengers on the Haight street car. It was a few minutes after 8 o'clock when the accident occurred. The Ellis street car had reached the junction of | Stockton and Market streets and was pro- | ng across the latter when it crashed Haight street_car, which was time.

Union Labor Party Nominees Ready | to Begin Active Canvass. ! g of the candidates recent- | the Union Labor party ve campaign committee was held yesterday afternoon at Native | Sons’ Hall to discuss ways and means of conducting the coming municipal cam- paign. There was a large attendance, Jo- | seph Milimore, chairman of the late con vention, presiding. Eugene E. Schultz, nominee for Mayor, outlined the reasons for the meeting i Many ideas were advanced as to the best course to be followed. The committee was authorized to procure central headquar- ters and open them at once. As soon as | possible clubs be organized in each Assembly rict, and at least two mass | meetings will be held in each one. Metro- politan Hall been secured for the final rally on the ht preceding the election. Missionary ork for those districts wherein the majority of employers reside be made a special feature. W. J. Wynn suggested that the unions be requested to furnish the names of all membpers and that appeals to them to do missionary work be at once sent out. It is expected in this way to enlist about 20,000 unic in the cause. | The que: 1 of finance was quickly set- | tled. As each candidate is allowed to ex- ! pend 10 per cent of his first year's salary. it was decided that per cent of this amount should at once be placed at the al of the executive committee, fur- ng a working capital of more than y nomi; and the e w $1600 Chairman Millmore announced the ap- pointment of J.

OF TRIJ TO MAKE TAING) INTERESTING, HE session of the Republican Local Convention held last even- ing at B'nai B'rith Hall was brief, yet its limited proceedings at- tested the fact that Boss Mar- |tin Kelly could not rally more than ! eighty-six votes to the support of a propo- sition emanating from a minority of the committee on order of business. The Pri- mary League delegations in the conven- measure. The five Grand Hotel delegates were lost somehow in the shuffle. A motion to . adjourn the convention until next Monday evening was not re- sisted by either the Wells or Laumeister forces. Many delegates expressed the opinion that a baliot last night would have resulted in the nomination of Asa R. Wells for Mayor. Many of Wells' sup- porters seemed surprised that advantage | was not taken of Kelly's defeat in his efforts to deprive Chairman Thomas D. { Riordan of the power to afnpolnt eighteen County Commitieemen at large. Insice intelligence is to the effect that Herrin, Burns and Goldberg have not fully determined to put Auditor Wells for- ward for Mayor. There is still talk of another candidate, wnose identity is not disclosed to the pub- lic. This is said to account for the unan- imity with which the delegates voted for adjournment. The Forty-first . District deiegates are still firm in their purpose to place the name of C. A. Murdock before the convention as their choice for Mayor. The Herrin and Burns forces are so formidable in the convention that the in- dependents, desiring the nomination of special favorites, are swinging toward the railroad for help. It was common talk last night that the railroad delegations, combined with available independents, could execute a programme of nomina- tions. The question is, “Will the pro- gramme be changed and some other as- | pirant than Wells be slated for Mayor? It was observed by the politicians that the platform indorsed the national ad- | ministration, but had no word of commen- dation for the State administration of Governor_Gage. It is just possible that General Warfield and his associates de- liberately gave Gage the overlook. Calls Convention to Order. At 8:20 p. m. Chairman Thomas D. Rior- dan called the delegates to order and re- marked about the catcalls and hootinge that marked the first session. Frank French of the committee on elections re- ported ‘there were no_contests between delegates. . Chairman. H. G. W, Dinkel- spiel of the committee on permanent or- ganization and order of business present- ed the following report: Your committee recommends that the follow- ing gentlemen be made permanent vice chair- men of this convention: Edmund Tauszky, Jokn R. Hillman. We further recommend that the following gentiemen be made permanent assistant sec- retaries: W. H. Rickard, Thomas Wilson, A. W. Branch, Henry S. Madison. We recommend the following as the order of business of this convention: Report on com- mittee on platform and resolutions; nomination of Mayor; nomination of Auditor; nomination of District Attorney: nomination of County Clerk: nomination: of Sherifl; nomination of Treasurer; nomination of Recorder; nomination of City Attorney; nomination of Public Ad- ministrator; nomination of Tax Collector; nom- ination of Coroner; nomination of two Judges for the Police Court; nomination of eighteen Supervisors: nomination of members of the County Committee. Ninety County Committeemen. Said County Committee shall consist of ninety members at large. to be chosen as fol- lows: Four to be nominated and selected by each of the delegations from the eighteen As- sembly districts and eighteen to be appointed by_the chairman of this convention. We recommend that all speeches, either on nominations of candidates for office or on mo- ulun! ol'd rf;olmlonl, Ibe limited to five min- utes ane at no delegate shall speak than twice on any subject. 1.9 ST We recommend that all resolutions shall be referred to the committee on plattorm and resolutions without reading or debate, We recommend that all nominees of this con- vention. except the nominees for Judges of the Police Court, shall appear before this cor vention and indorse the platform and pled themselves to support the nominees of this convention. We recommend that each delegate to the con- vention who shall nominate a candidate for public office shall donate to the convention the sum of $10. e Dinkelspiel moved the adoption of the | the County Committee comsisting of tion voted almost solidly against Kelly's | report, but before the motion was put J. J. Murry and Martin Kelly presented the fcllowing minority report: The undersigned, a minority of your commit- tee on permanent organization and order of business, respectfully submit the following as & minority report of said committee: We report in favor of all the recommenda- tions made by the majority except as to the formation of the new County Committee, and in this regard we recommend that instead of ninety members, four appointed from each district and elghteen at large by the chair, that the County_ Committee consist of ninety members selected five by each district delegation In this convention. Martin Kelly Takes the Floor. Chairman Riordan ordered the call of the roll, but Marc Anthony of the Thirty- ninth and A. M. Currie of the Thirty- eighth districts took the floor in favor of the minority report. Martin Kelly fol- lowed, speaking as follows: The reason I signed that report was that T thought it was a matter that should be sub- mitted to the convention. 1 was a member of that committee and opposed the motion as pre- sented by the chairman of the committee on order of business, that the chairman of the convention should appoint the County Com- mitteemen at large. I thought it was a mat- ter for the district entirely, and furthermore there were only twelve members present and voted on_motion. The recorded vote was seven for and five against. There being this division in the committee I thought it but fair that the matter should be submitted to the conven- tion. ‘ Kelly had just ceased talking, when one of the delegates seated in the rear of the hall required the assistance of a couple of police officers to prevent him from dis- rupting the meeting. A number of dele- gates who followed spoke in favor of the minority report. Further debate was closed by moving the previous question. On the call of the roll the vote stood: For the minority report, 8; against the report, 271. The majority report was then adopted by an almost unanimous vote. General R, H. Warfield presented the following as the report of the committee on platform and resolutions: We, the committee on platform and resolu- tions, selected at convention assembled in the city and county of San Francisco September 16, 1901, herewith submit the following plat- form and resolutions as our unanimous report, and recommend the adoption of the same by the convention. Platform of Republican Party. The Republican party of the city and county of San Francisco, and the delegates thereof, conyened in municipal convention, pursuant to law, hereby promulgate and publish the following declaration of principles and party plattorm: We affirm our loyalty to the Republican party, indorse the administration of the Na- ilonal Government by its distinguished lead- ers and pledge our hearty support to those sacred Republican principles which elevate a nation and make its people pure and powerful. We declare that, although President McKin: ley “sleeps the sleep that knows no waking, in a martyr's grave, the public institutions for which he offered up' his precious life can never perish: law and order must and shall prevall, and the policy of President McKinley cannot be arrested In its triumphal progress by the hand of anarchy. Courageous as a soldler, supreme as a states: man, glorfous in public career and exempl in private virtue, without an fgnoble mem- ory in his radiant life, President McKinley was, for all the world, the highest type of American manhood. The sassination of President McKinley directs public attention to the inadequacy of the protection for our Presidents. The greater the crime, the greater should be the punishment. We demand a constitutional amendment en- abling the enactment of a law making any assault upon the person of the President of the United States, Wheresoever committed, treason against the nation, and of exclusive Federal jurisdiction. % ‘Would Suppress Anarchists. ‘We earnestly hope that the governments of the world will unite in suppressing anarchists and the causes which produce anarchy. We favor the rigid exclusion and deportation of allen anarchists and the severe punishment of all anarchists. ‘We affirm the right of this country to expel It Doesn’t Cost a Cent More to have trunks that are good travel- ers than those that can't stand the jar. ‘We get all kinds of traveling gear by the carload.

Herrin Will in Future Be the Power Behind the Throne. s Charles M. Hays, president of the Southern Pacific Company, severs his con- nection with the corporation on October 1. All the heads of departments have been notified by Mr. Hays that he leaves the company on that date, and the official cir- cular announcing his resignation was hourly expected ~yesterday afternoon around the yellow building. What President Hays intends doing or what road he will identify himself with is not known. He is 2 man that keeps his own counsel and unbosoms himself to no one. It s conjectured that he will leave for the East the early part of next week, and his family will soon follow him. Who will succeed him as president of the Southern Pacific Company he says he does not know—at least he claims that Harriman has not informed him. It is, however, generally conceded that S. M. Felton of the Chicago and Alton road will fill the position. President Hays informed all the heads of departments in the early part of this week that he would sever his connection with the Southern Pacific Company on October 1, and the officials are now busily putting their heads together and forming combinations so as to hold their positions more securely. Officials Ignore Hays. During President Hays' brief adminis- tration he has made many friends. He is looked upon as a man of great executive ability, with a strong sense of justice and easy to approach. His resignation was handed in to Harriman owing to the strong personal dislike evinced to him by many of the rallroad officials, who still stand loyal to the Huntington interests. These officials would not take commands from President Hays, but on every possi- ble excuse telegraphed to H. E. Hunting- ton and asked hini to intercede and have orders revoked that had been made by Hays and were distasteful to them. Hays became tired of this constant interference with his work, and going to New York handed in his resignation, which was later accepted by Harriman. It is more than possible that with the severance of Hays' connection with the Southern Pacific Company Julius Krutt- schnitt, general manager, will also resign. ‘Whether J. M. Herbert will continue as manager in Fillmore’s position is also a conjecture. Herrin’s Star Ascends. Secretary Ingram, who has been the closest man to Presicent Hays here, will go East with him. Ingram, being a man of great personal magnetism, has estab- lished himself as a universal favorite in club circles during his short stay here. With the departure of Hays for the East Chief Counsel W. F. Herrin's star will be in the ascendency. He will in teh future be looked upon as the power be- hind the throne. Though Harriman will send a president out here as chief execu- tive, this president will have to make his reports to J. C. Stubbs, traffic director of the Harriman system of railroads. Herrin will be allowed to manipulate politics as he sees fit, ani woe betide the president who comes out here in the future and an- nounces that *‘the road must keep out of politics.” PR RR R R R LRI X ) soever arising. We suggest the adoption of ar- bitration for the settlement of such disputes, and recommend that the arbitration laws of other States and countries, so far as found to be just and granting equal protection of the law, as well as adaptable to our altered con- ditions, be made a part of our system of laws. ‘We believe that it has been shown by expe- rience that the new charter is a superior law for the government of this municipality, and we urge the carrying out of its provisions in their just and true spirit. ‘We demand that additional school houses be constructed of either brick or stone, for the purpose of providing adequate accommodation for all the school children of this city. Deplore Waste of Money. We demand that no more money shall be wasted by the Board of Public Works in un- necessary salaries to men whose Services are not needed and who do not work. ‘We insist that the money diverted from the public_treasury in this unauthorized way be expended for the benefit of our public schools, improvement of our streets, and the better- ment of our sewage system. ‘We urge that the eight-hour law with refer- ence to public work be strictly enforced, We recommend the immediate abolition of all cobblestone pavements upon the business streets of-this city and that the same should be replaced with modern pavements construct- ed in the most substantial manner, and the adoption of a systematic plan for the abolition of cobblestone pavements in other portions of the city, as soon as the funds in the treasury will permit, and we hereby pledge our nom- inees to use their best endeavors to carry out this provision in the platform. We earnestly recommend that immediate steps be taken for the purpose of securing in- creased protection for the residents of the city and county of San Francisco and their. prop- erty against fire, and for that purpose we advocate the adoption of the recommendations made by the chief engineer of the Fire De- partment of the city and county in his reports of January and February of this vear, We favor the ownership by the city of such public utilities as are imperatively necessary for the common ood. We favor civil service for all departments of the municipal government, and its enforce- ment pursuant to law. We declare that in electing or appointing to Eougxcul office no distinction should be made etween citizens as to creed or color. Salient Points Applauded. The sallent points of the committee's re- ort, particularly those referring to the ate President McKinley, the erection of new school houses and the curbing, of the extravagant salary list of the Board of Public Works, were loudly applauded. Before the report was adopted J. B. Sykes of the Fortieth District offered the following resolution: ‘Whereas, The Employers' Assoclation has re- fused to Vield the differences between them- selves and the labor unions to arbitration; Resolved, That we deplore this refusal on the part of the Employers' Assoclation to yleld these differences to arbitration. Chairman Riordan ruled the resolutions out of order, on the ground that the mat- ter should be referred to the committee on platform and resolutions. n Samuels of the Twenty-ninth Dis- trict moved that the convemtion adjourn until Monday night. At 9:10 p. m. the motion was carried, the convention being in session for less than an hour. el i Soclalist Party Troubles. The Election Commission met yesterday and refused to heed the protest of the Socialist Labor party against granting a certificate of nomination to the Soclalist Democratic party for the next election.

The second count was quashed on demurrer. Later in the day the Federal Grand Jury came into court and presented a new and corrected indictment charging Dimmick with the larceny of $3, the Mint.
