WEGENER BLAMES WIND FOR LOSS OF PROPERTY Claims Relstives Encroached on Hic Lot in Erecting a Fence Fre- quently Blown Down. The trizl of the suit instituted by Henry ‘Wegener to quiet title to a lot at the cor- mer of Hyde and Lombard streets was heard in Judge Graham’s court yesterday. The defendants are Frederick Wegener, Mrs. Silva and Mrs. Leisen, a brother and two sisters of the plaintiff. The property in question co: of two lots, which were deeded to them by their father, Christian Wegener, in 1873. Henry Wegener testified yesterday that his brother and sisters were in possession of ten feet of his property and that they got it with the aid of the high winds that blow in that neighborhood. He said that the fence dividing the property was fre- blown down and that every time rebuilt the defendants built it on territory, until it stood ten feet from its original position. Herrin Is Denounced as Perverter of the Public Morals Is Declared to Con- trol Nominees on Republican Ticket HERE will be no amalgamation of the retail and wholesale liquor dealers’ associations, and there will be no indorsement of Wells by either. Tobin or Schmitz will be indorsed by the liquor merchants, if any indorsement whatever is given, but the indications are that no candidate for Mayor will be indorsed. The trap to catch the retailers and bring them into the wholesale organization was set by John Lynch, Collector of Internal Revenue. The retailers and the whole- salers will not stand for the Lynch pro- gramme. They know Wells' record on the license question and that is enough for them. All the Lynches in creation cannot change their purpose to protect themselves. Johnny Lynch, whose term as a Feder: officeholder is drawing near the end, again neglecting his official duties o meddle in affairs that chiefly concern people who pay taxes to suppori our mu- nicipal government. Lynch 18 not a res dent of San Francisco, and it is none of his business how the liquor dealers vote 1f he goes too far in his implied threats to make it uncomfortable for dealers who will not take the programme he may get what he most deserves. It may gratify represeutatives of the liquor trade to know that Benator Perkins has agreel with Senator Bard to take up the sub- ject of the appointment of Lynch’s suc- cessor as soon as Congress meets. Sena- tor Bard favors Stephen Kelly of San Bernardino and Senator Perkins agrees to indorse any good man recommended by his colleague in the Senate. Lynch Has Tricky Ways. Lynch is noted for his readiness to do the nastiest kind of politics. ‘He wiil go to the.limit of using forged tele- grams. At Sacramento he produced a bogus telegram, representing it to be 2 genuine message from Senator Perkins requesting members of the Legislature to vote for D. M. Burns for United States Senator. Even Senator Perkins, whose forbearance is remarkable, and whose desire to please everybody amounts fu enthusiasm, asserts that the utterance of a forged telegram is a dishonorable act. Lynch will not scruple to use any sort | of tactics to catch the liquor dealers off their guard, but his cunning will not_pro- | cure the indorsement which he is schem- ing to obtain. This subject is already sec- tled so far as Wells is concerned, for that candidate is not on the list of those to be considered. The Society for the Pro- tection and Care of Aged and Indiscreet Talkers may indorse Mr. Wells and r: ceive a_testimonial from Mr. Cobb at t. Grand Hotel, but indorsements elsewhere will be few ‘and far between. Lynch's official position .does not dis- turb the liquor men, as they know that he will be removed from office in Decem- ber next. Dr."C. F. Buckley, a stickler for royal- ty, a subject of King Edward the Se enth and a standing candidate for direc- tor of the Hibernia Bank, is meddling in affzirs that do not concern the King. Dr. Buckley, whose character as a man ana whose attainments as a physician are | not questioned, in the local campaign ad- vises the people against supporting Mr. | Tobin. Dr. Buckley not registergd. He is not a citizen of this country. e has {no aspiration for American citizenship. | He dwells in this country beeause he can | Go better here than in England. Perhaps he wants to be near the Hibernia Bank in case his long cherished wish to be u director of that institution should be | gratified. Before projectin% himself any | further into the politics of San Francisco | he should advise with the British Consu! and get the consent of his Majesty, King Edward, to chip in. Tobin Easily Wins a Bet. Mr. Tobin seems to be good enough for | the people of San Francisco. The Native | Sons entertain a high regard for him. He | was born in California and loves the land of his birth. It is true that he is not as old as Mr. Wells or as handsome as Mi Schmitz, but he has a mind of his own and expresses it in a style that wins the high regard of his fellow citizens. He | may never be able to match Mr. Schmitz for pulchritude or acquire Mr. Wells’ fa- cllity for wobbling, but he is in the | race for Mayor, with every prospect of | success. Dr. Buckley should gaze'on Asa R. Wells and see the danger of talking through one’s hat. Cobb cannot protect | everybody from the indiscretion of rus ing into print. |up in guarding against further outbreak on the part of Mr. Wells. Tobin is surely a winner. He won a bet so readily at the Palace Grill yesterday that those who believe in auguries are convinced that he will win all along. He happened to meet a representative of the Examiner, to whom he remarked that he did not make the statement in the Pal- ace barber shop that the Tobins would not patronize the establishment if the Ex- aminer was not excluded. The newspaper man offered to bet $25 to $5 that the paper publisbed just what Mr. Tobin said. The wager was accepted and the principals went to the barber shop for a decision. When the facts were elicited the Exam- iner man said: “Mr. Tobin, I will send you my check for twenty-five dollars.” Mr. Tobin replied: *“Never mind the check. Give it to charit —_——— CAUSES GROCER'S ARREST.—Mrs. Busan Simon yesterday procured a warrant for the arrest of M. H. Grovers, a grocer at 1024l Howard street, on a charge of battery.

Tobin mounted the platform at McGrath's Hall, 530 Third street, last night a handful of lusty- lunged young men tried to stampede the meeting with the slogan of “Three cheers for Schmitz!” The meeting refused to stampede and Joseph S. Tobin, when he left the hall, left behind him a room full of friends cheering to the echo the candidate for Mayor. Tobin addressed two meetings last even- ing and in both cases confirmed the good impression he has so far made wherever he has appeared. After leaving McGrath's Hall he went to Masonic Hall at Four- teenth street and Railroad avenue, where a crowded auditorium awaited him and where he was given an enthusiastic re- ception. His address at McGrath's Hall was in part as follows: 1 desire and I hope ‘that the spirit of my address to you this evening will put me on entire equality with every man in this audi- ence. I come not as a man with his eve on some future political goal, but as a man with the interests of San Francisco at heart, a man interested in the welfare of every citizen, no matter what his condition in life may be. I hope I represent no one but the people in this fight, and if elected 1 know I will repre- sent in the City Hall no one but the people. I do not want you gentlemen to look upon me as I have been represented. I am one of you. 'mpathies are all with you. Your inter- s are my interests. Here the speaker was interrupted in sarcastic tone by the query: “Do you really mean to tell us, Mr. Tobin, "that your interests and ours are| the same?” The gentleman asks me if my in- terests are yours. They are. 1 rep- resent interests which every man in this audience has helped to create. Gentlemen, the people I am proud to call mine commenced their life in this land in as humble circum- stances as any man in this hall. By their efforts they have risen to a condition of comparative wealth. Their prosperity I have shared. But, gentlemen, I have never forgotten that my father entered this city a poor man. 1 have never forgotten that my father worked on the streets of this city, and any man that says I am not the friend of the workingman, lies. es I accepted this nomination not because I sought political preferment, but because 1 deemed it my duty, because I was a young man and because circumstances placed me in & position ‘to devote my time to the things that will tend to the good of San Francisco. I believe that no man that works as I know you work, as I have seen you work, in the foundry and in the ship’s hold, should work more than eight hours. Tobin then referred to the interview with Asa R. Wells published in yester-4 day’s Call, in which the Republican can- didate for Mayor explains that not only did the Republican leaders agree with the position he had taken in demanding the placing upon the Republican Supervisoral ticket of one candidate of his own se- lection, but that Mr. Herrin had con- sented to a compliance with his request. Mr. Tobin said: ‘Who is Mr Herrin? What is Mr. Herrin that he should be quoted in this manner by the head of the Republican ticket? You know who Herrin {s. You know what he represents. The head of the Republican ticket tells us that Mr. Herrin gave his consent to a change in that ticket—Mr. Herrin, who represents debauchery in public-life, who represents the corrupters of legislators, the purchasers of Supervisors; Mr. Herrin, who represents corporations that must buy franchises from the city, corporations- that seil water and gas to the city. Why does the head of the Republican ticket quote Mr. Herrin? Because Mr. Herrin repre- sents the supreme office-giving powers. Be- cause Mr. Herrin gave him and all the others on the Republican ticket the nominations they hold. No man taking a nomination on the Re- publican ticket can consistently take it with the intention of doing his duty toward the people. No man can serve two masters. There was another large audience await- ing Tobin at Masonic Hall. His address was in part as follows: T shall make it my purpose, if I get into office, to see that the present City and County Hospital, a place unfit for over-night accom- modation for the poorest of a poverty-stricken land, is replaced by a modern, practicable, humane hospital. The present institution is a dishonor and a crime. The speaker again referred to the Wells interview and after reviewing the issues of the campaign, said: I am not to be driven from the issues of this campaign by anything that may be said about me personally. These things will take care of themselves later. I am no Sancho Panza to be tilting at windmills, when there are live animals in the land more worthy of my steel. L o e e B e e B e e X S ol SAYS WELLS IS NOT A FRIEND TO LABOR Member of Carpenters’ Union Tells How the Candidate Has Used His Hammer. The following communication from a member of the Brotherhood of Carpen- ters and Joiners of America discusses phases of the campaign that have not previously received attention: To the Editor: It is extremely annoying and sickening as each campalgn occurs to read in the daily prints the paid eulogies of this or that candidate, particularly so when they ap- pear in papers that have no politics and are with the side which pays the highest figure. It is equally sickening to witness the syco- phantic efforts of such journals when the sop is extended to the laboring element, and the merits of a candidate, in statements true or false, are paraded with a view to attract suiy port. 1 have yet to call to mind the first candidate for vublic office of importance who has not been the lifelong friend of labor—who did not weep when labor wept and burst with joy at labor's success, when in reality labor was.a nightmare, a thing abhorrent, a contact to be studiously avolded, if possible, without detri- ment. Such is the position of the usual can- didate and such is the usual course of the newspaper which makes his fight, Such truck- ling, sniveling, hypocritical conduct in candi- dates is nauseating; in newspapers intolerable. The present campaign is no exception to the rule and the same hackneyed, time-worn tac- tics again appear in a new dress. The Bulle- tin presents its candidate and is with breathless anxiety engaged in teaching us, the working people of San Francisco, how Asa R. Wells used the hammer (as a carpentet), what he has done for labor, how sorry he is that it was his misfortune not to have been able to have done more, and now, that he is incidentally looking for & few votes, what he will do in the future, From Mr. Wells' standpoint, and what he would have labor belleve, there is nothing in the clty but labor; it is the alpha and omega of the situation. Mercantile, capitalistic and professional Interests are a mere bagatelle and not worthy of particular consideration, but labor—that’s the important question, It is thus that the intelligence of the Ameri- can workmen is severely taxed to ascertain whether he s considered a natural born fool and is supposed to swallow hook, bait and all, or credited with having some sense and an ability to judge as to the integrity, compe- tency and qualifications of those who are to be intrusted with the management of municipal affaire, In the Bulletin of to-day we observe edito- rials ground out by the same pen that two years ago glorified a Democratic candidate. But the Bulletin is now Republican and 16 for 1 is it's standard, Under the captions ““Workingmen should vote for Wells,” *‘Unions should not support Labor party,”” “‘Wells is the only representative can- didate” and “‘Wells as Auditor,” we are told that there is a man before the people whose greatest struggle in life has been the up- lifting, the ennobling, the protection and care of his fellow man, whose chief desire has been fo obtain_ for his fellow workers maximum wages and minimum hours. Such merit might fall as music upon receptive ears who know not to the contrary, but to the wise it is farcical. Mr. Wells was a carpenter and used = hammer, and not the least of his faults is the fact that he has carried that hammer ever since he has ceased carpentering. That ham- mer Is and has been for labor, and he has used it for thirty years and has not let an oppor- tunity slip by. He with four others. in 1363, controlled the entire planing mill industry of San Francisco. In 1867 the eight-hour day went into effect and remalned so until 186). Mr. Wells got out his little hammer, and being master of the situation, destroved the eight-hour day by in- creasing 'the time of mill hands from elght to ten hours. Was this friendship to labor? After thirty years the Building Trades Coun- cil undertook the re-establishment of the eight- hour day, and after a long-drawn-out contro- versy succeeded, but not until Mr. Wells and his little hammer once more took action. This occurred on August 24, 1900, when without ap- parent interest or reason, uninvited by either side, he again opposed labor, attempted to show the inadvisability of the eight-hour day, predicted all sorts of disaster in case of it adoption and strenuously decried the wisdom of such a move. Was this friendship to labor? It was neither friendshin to labor nor an ex- hibition of business judgment, for if Mr. Wells is cavable of knowing anything he ought to know the mill business. But subsequent events have proven that he did not even know that, as the mill owner and mill worker are to-day enjoying more harmonious and profitable rela- tions than ever before, and eight hours’ labor constitutes a day's work. Fellow workmen, do not be influenced by the blandiskments, claims and promises of a paid partisan paver. Let manhood be your stand- ard, and whether a candidate was or is a la- boring man or not, be guided by your convic- tions and select the man in whom you think reposes the ability and honesty to properly conduct the city’s affairs. All men are labor- | ers, whether they are mechanics or not, and as 'the conduct of public office concerns us all and affects us all pecuniarily, it is to our in- terest, and a selfish interest at that, to have a wise, economical and enepgetic administra- tion, and to that end it is equally our duty to show to this community that the day has long since passed when labor could be wheedled. coaxed and fooled by senscless Bulletin edi- torials.

TOBIN, NOr1INEE FOR MAYOR, ENLISTS ENTHUSIASM OF PEOPLE AND LYNCH SEEKS TO ENTRAP LIQUOR I'EN Subject of Edward VII Gives Gratuitous Advice to Voters Dr. Buckley States Reason Why He Is Not Naturalized R. C. F. BUCKLEY, a “man without a country,” who for thirty years has resided in San Francisco, rising to professional prominence and financial afflu- ence here without deeming it desirable to become a citizen of the country which smiled so graciously upon him, has taken it upon himself to advise the people of San Francisco in municipal affairs. He opposes the candidacy of Joseph S. Tobin for Mayor and in communications to an afternoon paper warns the people that if they expect honesty or devotion to their interests in case of Tobin's election they are hugging a delusion. Dr. Buckley’s sudden interest in affairs of government astounds those of his ac- against national boundaries and devotion to country. The average man of this day, when patriotism is still judged a virtue, municipal affairs or to see X “parently antagonistic states of mind can be harmonized. Dr. Buckley explained to a Call reporter last night why he had lived thirty years in America _and had re- mqéned a subject of Great Britain. said: 1 was born in the south of Ireland and was resident in Liverpool when I decided to come to America. When I reached San Francisco, thirty vears ago, 1 found that my countrymen were running things in this country anyway and my assistance was scarcely needed. Here pin, was Mayor. A’ physician knows no country. The profes- sion is destined to promote the brotherhood of man, and to break down national prejudices. for the existence of national boundary lines, in this age of ready communication and rapid transit, than there was for the existence of clans in medieval times. The nation is the clan of modern_times. So, although I have lived here thirty years, I am still a subject of Great Britain, largely, I presume, because thinking as I did about such things I was too lazy to take out naturali- zation papers, But I am a taxpayer. In Eng- lish municipalities there is more freedom in that respect—whatever your nationality you vote if you are a property holder. _Property qualification? Yes, that is true. You can't vote unless you have property.

LABOR CANDIDATES SPEAK TO SMALL GATHERINGS Schmitz and His Promises Received ‘With Lukewarmness in Various Sections of City. The Labor party candidates addressed three poorly attended meetings last night, the first at Bear Hall, corner of Post and Fillmore streets, the second at a hall at Pacific and Leavenworth streets and the third at the Alcazar building. Little in- terest in the speechmaking was manifest- fd and the applause was quite perfunc- ory. At Bear Hall a crowd consisting of the most part of boys in search of election cards greeted Schmitz and his bodyguard of office seekers. The meeting was pre- sided over by L. Manzer, who said that he favored the Labor party because he wanted equal rights for all and speci; privileges for none. When Schmitz af- rived the band played “We Won't Go Home Till Morning,” and the small crowd, some of whom were under the impression that it was a Democratic meeting, yelled for Tobin. When somebody suggested three cheers for “Fatty”” Maher they were given with a will. Schmitz regaled his audience with a memorized speech, in which he repeated some of Abraham’ Lincoln’s sayings and told what he would do when he was elect- ed Mayor. He had his usual fling at Tobin’s polo pony, but the audience did not appreciate the humor of his observa- tion. When he said that the meanest ditchdigger might be assured of a wel« come at his hands after election a,mur- mur of applause broke the deep silence. Schmitz found fault with the platforms of all the parties save that of the Labor party and wound up with the statement that he was for the man before the dol- lar every time. Other speakers at the meeting were William J. Kenney, W. D. Getchell and J. T. McEntee. A small audience greeted the labor standard-bearer at Pacific and Leaven- worth streets. Schmitz repeated his speech here and his utterances aroused no more enthusiasm than at the previous meeting. The speakers at this place were Dr. J. F. Dillon, Thomas Gallagher, Thomas Eagan, P. H. Coyle and J. J. Daughney. The shoe clerks met in the Alcazar building and after the executive session a smoker was given to the members. A set programme was rendered, one of the events being a six-round glove contest between two members. Schmitz and his contingent arrived while this was in pro- gress and his entrance was in conse- quence quite flat. The announcement that Police Judge Fritz was ip the hall created a sensation and that omglal was given an ovation. Subsequently Schmitz was intro- duced and he took advantage of the oc- casion to throw more bouquets at himself. Several addresses by labor candidates were delivered. 2 EE SRR DISSENSION IN LABOR PARTY RANKS GROWING Unions Fail to Respond to Request to Indorse Ticket—Judge Fritz’s Candidacy. The division of sentiment among the union ranks relative to the candidacy of Schmitz for Mayor is growing more pro- nounced as the campaign progresses. Men who were ardent supporters of the labor ticket a few days ago are now switching to Tobin on the general theory that as Schmitz cannot possibly win the coveted prizé one vote for Tobin prac- tically means a loss of two to Wells. The Schmitz managers are rounding up the unions and bringing pressure to bear upon their partisans in those bodies to cause resolutions to be adopted in- dorsing the entire labor ticket. Up to date only three unions have given the de- sired indorsement, and the greatest dif- ficulty is being experienced in whipping the labor organizations into line. The personnel of the labor candidates appears to be the great stumbling-block in ‘the matter of general indorsements. Many union men who favored the elec- tion of labor candidates changed their minds when they caught a glimpse of the majority of the Supervisorial nominees. There was little to inspire union voters with confidence in many of their candi- dates, and the result is an ever increas- ing feeling that the interest of San Fran- cisco could in no way be subserved by their_election. It has been definitely established that Schmitz will not secure the solid vote of the Musicians’ Union, of which he is president. Several members of that body said yesterday that Schmitz would not get more than twenty votes from the members of his own organization. They declare that while no open hostility has manifested itself against him in the union there is a deep feeling that he is not qualified to serve the city as Mayor and {hat his election would be a serious blow to_the industrial advancement of the city. The hostility shown by the Building Trades Council to the labor ticket has set the laboring men of the city think- ing. The hostile attitude of: the official organ of the organized workers toward the labor ticket as a whole is having a weighty effect upon workingmen of all classes. This opposition among the very interests in which Schmitz expected to find solid support is proving a_ serfous blow to the labor candidates.
