Tobin. (Great applause.) GOULD MAKES GREAT ADDRESS. Likens Republican Ticket to a Bed One in Philadelphia. Frank H. Gould paid a caustic compli- ment to both Samuel M. Shortridge and Asa R. Wells when he said in the course | of his interesting speech: They have selected a man magnificent in the stature of a giant; a man magnificent in mental attainments; a man oratorical to a fault; a man who has all of the ability both of expression and intelligence to present to eny audience the strongest claims that any | poiitical party might make for the considera- tion of the citizens of the city wherein he lives. This gentleman needs no introduction by name to you. He presented himself a week or €0 ago upon this rostrum, well known as any man in the State of California, ad- mired, respected and laved by the people, and his name is the Honorable Samuel M. Short- ridge. And I want you to applaud Sam. \Applause.) Now, then, he also had anothér qualification that was necessary for an advocate of this character, and that is the devotion to his party, for when he was discussing these ques- tions before you he turned to his aged friend who stands at the head of the ticket and he said, “In him I see only the leader of my party, and wheresocver he goes there will I Tollow. My nds, 1 cannot understand how my friend Mr. Shortridge could have made a state- | ment of that charactef, because I believe him to be & man of bright mind and of great patriotism, gnd I believe that any man who utters the expressions, who gives voice to.the principle that he will follow the leader of his party wherever he goes is placing the con- duct of his party above the devotion that he owes to his country. Foemen of Progress. I say whatever influence may dominate a party, whatever crowd may obtain control of a convention, for 2 man to say that notwith- standing all that follows ~wherever they g0 although it be in the hands of freeboot- ers, why, men of that kind are warts on the tail of progress. A man of that kind, my friends—but I do not include Mr. Shortridge because he is not that kind of a man—but men character have banded together re- cently in the city of Philadelphia, and there | but a short time since, in the course of a great camp: n, one of the Republican orators there, credibly informed, made this statement a rostrum: Boys,” he said, *'stand by the ticket—hold your mose and vote the ticket in order thac we may have protection.” What was the result? The result of that was that before these people had been in office very long there came -before the Council an order for the giving away of the franchises of that great city and they were given away, and within two weeks after the gift was made for nothing two great benevolent men of this country sald to the city of Philadelphia that they would give $2,500,000 for the very franchise that had been given away in a single night, Now these gentiemen who present themselves in the form of a Republican party I should say are the Philistines in this engagement, and Mr. Shoriridge stands for them as their Go- liath. In the first place he says that this government -of which we are proud has done nothing. What has it done? The Assessor elected upon the Democratic ticket at the last election has added to the asseseable property of San Francisco 323,000,000, placed upon fran- chises in San Francisco, of which not one dol- lar had been asscssed before. (Applause.) Work of the Assessor. That means that from the shoulders of the other people who have in the past pald taxes would be lifted an amount equal to about §2%5,000 per year. Another thing: During the last two or three years the Assessor elected by the administration now in power has added to the taxable property in the shape of personal property that has never been assessed before the sum of forty millions of dollars, whieh added to the twenty-three millions gives us | sixty-three millione of dollars added to the assessable property of this city which never was assessed before, the taxation thereen annually amounting’ to the sum of $674.000. I want to call your attention to this fact that if a Board of Supervisors subservient. io the corporations whose franchises have been taxed by this Assessor should be elected, they. sitting as a board of equalization, would have power at the behest of those who elected them to wipe out the good work of your Assessor &nd replace upon your shouiders the taxes that these people now justly bear. (Applause.) Therefore, 1 say, it behooves you to look well to the ticket you elect for Supervisors at the coming election. TOBIN THANKS HIS AUDIENCE. Bids Them Go;d-By alth Assurance of Victory. Mr. Tobin’s speech was as follows: Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: I stand in need of the Indulgence of this au- dience. I have spoken night after night three to five times a night, and I trust that what I may say will not be subject to any undue criticlam. i A duty has been performed.

ON IMPO PORTANT [3alEa OF THE © UNGES THAT HE 15 PREPARING STAT FIFTY THOUSAND GIVEN TO WORTHY CHARITIES N unprincipled attack on Joseph S, Tobin is brought to public attention. The Bulletin last evening reports. that Dr. J. F. Gibbon made this allusion to the Tobins at Palo Alto Hall Thursday night: “The. Tobins are wery charitable with other people’s money; they gave . $50,000 of our money to the Valley Railroad as a free gift; they had no more right to give it than T would if T had that amount of your money in my charge. When the Valley Railroad sold out to - the-Santa Fe Railroad the money was returned in stock or cash, and was not returned to the Hiber- " nia Bank reserve fund, where it was taken from, but was placed in the Crocker-W oolworth Bank, where it remained.”. It may interest the voters of San Francisco to know what became of this gift of $50.000, -wwhich was returned when the Santa Fe bought the Valley road. The sum of $25,000 was donated to the Catholic-Orphan Asylum; the sum of $12,500 to the Protestant Orphan Asylum, and the ‘sum of $12,500 to the Hebrew Orphan Asylum. " San Francisco got the railroad and the orphans got the money. Will the defamers of Mr. Tobin please spring something else to assist.in his election?, i MENT FOR WELLS TO PUBLISH AMPAIGN, PUBLICATION e HIS “POLICY OF ADMINISTRATION” IS LATEST MOVE OF RAILROAD POLITICIANS Southern Pacific Candidate for Mayor Declines to Discuss Vital Issues Before Audiences He Addresses, but Says They Can Read His Views HE attorneys and other. political wirepullers of the Southern Pa- cific Railroad Company are prob- ably working overtime these days, as it was announced last evening by Asa R. Wells, candidate on the Republican raflroad ticket for Mayor, that he would issue before elec- tion day *“a policy of his adminstration™ as chief executive of San Francisco, the present City Auditor taking it for granted this evening looking forward with hope A aspiration. e have thrown into this cam- paign youth, vigor and enthusiasm and pa- triotism, and, ladies and gentlemen, the air pulsates and throbs with the hope and expectd- tion of victory and success. (Great applause.) This, ladies and gentlemen, is no selfish struggle. When the tomb of Christendom was in danger all Europe flocked to the standard of a poor hermit. When San Francisco is In peril where shall the citizens of San Francisco be found but beneath the banner that repre; sents honesty, independence and conservatism? Patriotism knows no partisan. Civic virtue is the birthright of every man. The young Greelk that dashed from Marathon to Athens with the breath of victory on his lips was not stopped at the gate while his captors investigated Whether he was a_free man or a slave. Ladies and gentlemen, do not stop to ~investigate whether a man is a Republican, a Democrat or & labor unionist, but see whether he bears upon his brow the stamp of an honest Ameri- can citizen. (Applause.) 1 am amazed at the inconsistency of some men who up to this time have based their principles of politics upon altruistic unsélfish motives. Now, we meet them on the streets and we say, vote Who are you going to for?” and they say, ““Well, I am a Republi- can,” or have been a Democrat,”” or all such talk ds that. In »ast times these same gentlemen, like Diogenes, have gone through the world with a lamp seeking an honest municipal administration, and now when they are confronted with such an administration and it seeks their indorsement they hesitate and falter and refuse to answer. Every Man Is Interested. Gentlemen, this is no time for the discussion of political economy or for discussion of the underlying _principles «f government. There is nothing here, gentlemen, but the discussion of a business proposition. Every man who pays his taxes, who sees his money go into the City Hall every six months, is interasted it the discussion and in the declsion of this campalgn; interested not as a. Democrat, not as a Republican, not as a labor unionist, but as a citizen anxious to preserve the good name and future prosperity of this city. (Applause.) But they say, ladies and gentlémen, we are opposed to corporations—we are inimical to the interests of corporations. I stated at the outset of this campaign that no_ corporation has anything to fear from the nominees upon this ticket. What the law says they shall de- mand of us that-®hey shall receive in full measure. They shall be treated just as fairly, just as conscientlously, with just as much re- spect for their rights as the poorest, the low- est citizen in this land and they shall be treated thus and in no cther wise. Gentlemen, we have Incurred the opposition of some corporations, but those scorporations, what they are and who they represent and at they have stood for in the history of San Mrancisco, you know. We have incurred their ‘wrath, but we have done them no injustice. If w are elected, gentlemen, every business in- terest in San Francisco, every conservative in- ter: in San Francisca, will be fairly, hon- estly and justly treated and no man can es- cape from the responsibility cast upon him at this time for voting the Democratic ticket by the ery.that we wiil abuse vested interests or impair vested rights. (Applause.) Let every man remember how the Santa Fe Railroad has been treated by the present Board of Super- visors. Let every man who is interested in corporations remember that. And just as fairly and as honestly as we treated them we will treat every other corporation and every other interest in San Francisco. (Applause.) Fire Depgrtment Out of Politics. I was told to-day that we are opposed—and I cannot say that I regret it—that we are op- osed through the Fire Department by Mr. ainey. Ladies and gentlemen, I do not be- ieve the Fire Department will lend themselves to any such scheme as this. In days gone by the members of the Fire Department—remem- ber how they were placed in power and their tenure in office—depended upon the nod of a man who sat in the rear of a stable or in the back room of a saloon. They know now that their tenure of office is secure, that they cannot be discharged or displaced without a fair, open triai—and I don't believe that any man in San Francisco can use the present Fire Departmens- to oust the present administra- tion or to prevent an honest, falr administra- tion of San Francisco’s affairs. (Applause.) And while I am on the subject of depart- ments I want to say that if elected Mayor 1 will sce that the eight-hour law is enforced in every department of the city as it is en- forced at the present time in the Board of Public Works. ~ (Applause.) I will see that the eight-hour law 1s enforced in the Police Department as well as in every other department. ‘hen a_mariner has been tossed for many days in thick weather and upon an unknown sea he naturally avails himself of the first pause in the storm, the first ray of sunshine, to take his bearings and ascertain how far the elements have driven him from his true course. Let us do this, ladies and gentlemen. From now until election day let us recall the issue of this. campaign. It is now as it was three weeks ago, the clean, honest adminis- tration of municipal affairs.’ If it were aught else I would not be here. FIRST WORK ON BASE - OF SLOAT MONUMENT Granite Blocks From Alameda and Santa Clara Counties Will Be 5 Laid To-Day. MONTEREY, Nov. L1L—The granite blocks from Alameda and Santa Clara counties will be laid in the base of the J. D. Sloat monument on the United States military reservation here to-mor- row afternoon with appropriate and some- what elaborate ceremonies. Delegations from the two counties will be present and the ' Masonic orders of Monterey and Ala- meda will have a part in the ceremonies. The exercises will be under the auspices of the Sloat Monument Association of California, and Major Edward A. Sher- man of Oakland, secretary of the asso- ciation, will act as master of ceremonies. The intention of the association is to make the base of the monument of gran- ite blocks contributed by the counties of California and by the army and navy of the United States, all of which have been promised and will, it is said, soon be put in place. The site of the monument is on the summit of the hill overlooking Mon- terey harbor and within a stone's throw of tie ruins of old Fort Halleck. s i YAQUI INDIANS KILL RANCHERS IN MEXICO Troops Now in Pursuit of Savages Who Escaped to the Mountains. .

Yesterday the claim was made at Republican headguarters that ex-Mayor E. B. Pond.was going.to vote for "Wells. Inquiry on behalf of The Call at Mr. Pond’s office quickly established the fact that the boss report is simply 2 plain campaign lie. Mr. Pond says: “I am not going to vote for Wells. " I am not advising “my friends to vote for him. He is too big a Ioad for me to. carry. I am going to vote for Tobin.” E3 o are quite sensible of the fact that upon us depends the material prosverity of San Fran- cisco and all its citizens and the children of its citizens, and with this pledge, ladies and gentlemen, 'and this assurance of victory in the air. I'bid you good-by and thanks, thanks, maiy thanks. (Great applause.) TOBIN ADDRESSES TWO ENTHUSIASTIC MEETINGS His Reception Gives Assurance of a Sweeping Success on Elec- tion Day. In addition to spéaking at_the big final Democratic mass-meeting in Metropolitan Hall Joseph S. Tobin last night addressed two gatherings in widely separated parts of the city. He spoke at the Potrero Opera-house and talked to an enthusiastic gathering of citizens of the Forty-fifth Assembly District at Garibaldi Hall. The work outlined for .the evening and the long distances to be covered neces- sitated an early appearance at the Po- trero. In spite of that fact, however, and of the further fact that Schmitz was play- ing an oratorical engagement in the im- mediate neighborhood, the opera-house was well filled. and the candidate was ac- corded a rousing reception. Garibaldi Hall, which was reached about 9 o’clock, was jammed to the doors. Tobin ~ INTERIOR D: TMENT FIGUR. ON MILLIONS Estimates Prepmfi for the Expendi- tures During the Year Begin- ning in July. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—The estimates for the expenditures of the Interior De- partment during the fiscal year beginning next July aggregate $170,000,000, of which $142,161,700 is asked for pensions and the administrative work of the Pension Bu- rean, §1,964,270 being for salaries of the bureau personnel and $350,000 for the in- Vestigutions by special examiners of pen- sion cases. & In addition to the $12,516,200 already ap- propriated for the twelfth census, $1,972,- 120 for the next year is asked. Of the amount heretofore appropriated for the census $0.423,332 has been disbursed up to August 31 last, leaving a balance of ap- propriations unexpended on that date of $4.092.578 Other items call for $7,000,000 for the Indian service, $2,286425 for the Gen- eral Land Office, ineluding the annual ap- Drg&flaflun of $300, for forest reserves; $1.609.207 for the geological survey, and $94: for the Patent Office. NO HOPE FOR PA?BONS OF MATRIMONIAL PAPERS Thus Declares Federal Judge Rellin- ger in Extending Mercy to Miss Duncan. PORTLAND, Or.,-Nov. 1.—Miss Etna Duncan of Gold Hill, Or., was fined §1 in the United States court to-day for misuse of the mails. She is the young woman who swindled suitors whom she lured by advertisements in. matrimonial papers. Judge Bellinger in fixing the minimum penalty said: “The law is made to protect soclety, but men who advertise wives and are induced to send wedding presents are beyond the power of the law to protect.” 72 L AT German Commander Is Acquitted. BERLIN, Nov. 1—Captain Nietzke of the German cruiser Gazelle, who was tried for net reporting the insubordination that occurred on the cruiser while she was engaged id the maneuvers agDantzig, has been acquitted. has in newspapers for; i i 3 was received with cheers. His remarks were received with the same enthusiastic interest which has been displayed al every Tobin meeting of the campaign. The candidate for Mayor spent the early part of the day in the south of Market street district. 'He visited the glass works and wherever he went was met with as- surances which point to his election next Tuesday by a comfortable majority. His friends are more confident of success than ever and Tobin himself feels well satisfied with the situation. He was introduced at the Potrero by John J. Barrett, who, in what he called a few plain parting words befure you discharge your duty in the voting booth,” referred to Tobin as a man whose train- ing as legal adviser of an institution of magnitude and importance almost the equal of the municipality, particularly fitted him for the office of Mayor. Tobin spoke in part as follows: 1 am not unappreciative of the kind words Mr. Barrett has spoken, but I want to assure you that the position I hold at this time is en- tirely due to the force of circumstances. I take no particular credit for the measure of pros- perity which has fallen to my lot. I appreciate it, but 1 fall to see that I have done more than any other young man would in similar circumstances. Mr. Barrett has been good enough to speak of my people and my character. I want to say that there is no family in this district any lowlier in station than was mine. My father was a poor man. He knew all about the dark side of a poor man's life; he knew all about the bitter struggle that falls to the lot of the man that has to labor for a living. Sympathy with the laboring man was bred in my bones and any man that says I do not sympathize with the laboring man is mistaken and whoever says I am not fit to represent him says that which is not true. I defy my enemies to point to any single. act in my private or public career inimical to the interests of the workingman. I stand before you now just as much a young workingman as any one in this audience. The ticket at the head of which I have the honor to stand is just as much for the workingman as any ticket in the field. We have increased laborers’ pay at the City Hall to $2 50 a day. We have insisted on hav- ing the Allled Printing Trades label on all-city printing. We have"enforced the eight-hour law in all contracts directly or indirectly controlled by, the citw, We have given you a 2%-cent car fare for school children. We have reduced your taxes and your gas and water rates. I ask any other party now~seeking your suf- frages to show me on the statite books any single proof that they ever did a single thing for the direct benefit of the workingman, The meeting at Garibaldi Hall spoke volumes for the sentiment toward Tobin in the Forty-fifth District. There was no occasion for bonfire or brass band to kindle the enthusiasm. He was greeted as a personal friend and given a parting cheer which -he sald afterward would make him feel always that in that part of town he was In the territory of his friends. He spoke as follows: In the course of this campaign I have en- deavored to confine my -discussions to the presentation of business principles. The prin- ciple inveolved in this campaign is the same as induces a man to put and keep his own house in order. This is a duty which every man worthy of the name recognizes as im- perative. As with your household, so with your city. Upon you, therefor, citizens of San your city. Upon vou, therefore, citizens of San cisco .clean and beautiful, that it may be at- tractive to visitors, and honest. In this there is neither * Democracy, Republicanism nor trades unionism involved. The issue in this and any other municipal campaign is the elec- tion to office of men that will discharge hon- estly the dutles of their several offices. It has been our’ aim in this campaign to speak to you as business men to business men. The question which confronts you is Will you keep your civic household clean? Will you elect to office men capable, honest and free from carporation centrol? or will you fill these offices with men about whom the experi- ence of the past telis you nothing? As San Francisco is well governed and or- derly so will you be prosperous and thrive. We have no time now to talk politics. This is not a question of politics. We bring you the record of our administration for the past two years. In this and our platform you must find what we hope to do for you in the future. Do not be misled. You have been well governed for two years. The next two years is in your hands.

The largest audience was found in the Alhambra. Even there the bullding was not half filled, and many of those present were women- and children. Wells first spoke last night in Richmond Hall, Clement street and Fourth avenue, which is situated in the Fortieth District. As at the other meetings where Wells appeared the small boys of the neighbor- hood made merry around the bonfires of railroad ties and added their voices to the half-hearted cheers that greeted the Re- publican nominee for Mayor. Wells Appears in Richmond District. John T. Williams presided at the meet- ing in Richmond Hall and James M. Wil- kins, candidate for Supervisor, received a hearty welcome. A. B. Mahoney, candi- date for County Clerk, also received an ovation and short speeches were deliv- ered by other candidates. Wells in addressing his audience said: My friends: A few years ago I had no idea that I would be able to address a meeting at this place, and particularly so large a meet- ing of Republicans. Many years ago [ used to drive out over the Point Lobos road. This place was a long ways from where I lived down on Sansome street. I said then some- time this would be a great city out in this direction. At that time it was rolling sand. A great many people thought that sand never couid be controlled. It was like the snow on the eastern hills, but they found that the sand could be controlled, and that there was a very large and conservative good people in the neighboorhood of these hills. I-am glad to meet you. I don't know that there is any- thing in particular to say to you. All of these questions—the issues they cali them, have been discussed and are being discussed. The time is ‘too short. My ideas of the government of this city which will be published, and I think you will have a chance to thorcughly under- stand my views regarding the city’'s progress and its government and its needs before you are called upon to cast your ballot. I have only appeared here for a few moments in or- der you might sge I was in the campaign. I really think I shall be elected, and if so I assure you that I will not forget the Rich- mond Distriet. Candidates Speak in Hayes Valley. Mowry's Hall was fairly well filled last evening by the residents of the Thirty- seventh and Thirty-eighth districts, sit- uated in Hayes Valley. George Neal presided over the gather- ing, and the audience gave hearty recep- tions to John Lackmann, J. S. Nyland, James M. Wilkins, Fred Eggers, Colonel Boxton, Harry Baehr, A. G. Fisk and C. H. Stanyan, all these candidates deliver- ing addresses. ‘When Wells appeared on the platform the cheers were helped out by the brass band and the small boys in the gallery. Wells spoke very briefly, his remarks being as follows: My friends: I am glad to greet you as Re- publicans. I have been sp many years longer than most of you have been on earth. I was asked by the committee to come to Hayes Valley to look at you and I am glad to do so. I know you are Republicans by your looks. I cannot say. much about the issues of the gay. 1 have given them, however, great thought and impression, and in case I should be your Mayor —you know he has_extraordinary powers in the .government of San Francisco, but he is not all. He must have good Supervisors, and they are the legislators of the city. If those on _the Republican ticket should be elected you Wil have & good government. I do not think it necessary to touch on the issues. I have formulated my policy and it will be given to you to read before you cast your vote. When you see my declaration of policy and my ideas 1 hope you will read it with great care. I thank you all. Good night. Talks to German-American Citizens. The meeting of German-American Reg publicans at the Alhambra Theater was not a crowded one. Predictions had been made that Wells would find the big au- ditorfum crowded to the doors. But a single row of the gallery was occupied, | and the floor showed biocks of vacant seats. Of the long list of vice presidents announced to be present about one-sixth of the number were on the platform. The audience listened to some good speeches by candidates and others pend- ing the arrival of Wells, who received a warm welcome from those present. Ad- dresses were delivered b; l:.zmn Robert Wieneke, who presided; F. Freund, O. n, plegel, Fiagen sttt . igparas . Soleec | udge Joachimsen, yer, J. F. Plagemann, G. Hutaf and Chris bunker. The address of Wells was as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: It is rather unex- I had supposed from what I had seen in the and 1o some of the circulars which have been sent_around, and particularly a cireular of the Protective Association, that I was ruled out of the German Club and political party al- together, but as I came in here I recognized | some of my old and best friends, Germans that | I have known for years, and 1 have known them very faithfully and very familiar friends they have been of mine. I don't know what I have done, I am sure, if anything that I should be excluded from the German ciubs and | German societies. I can assure you, my i withstanding all of that, should I bae.n:::'zer;ou Wit ba My friends all the same and I shall do_for you everything I would for anybody and I beileve you will be satisfled with my administration. I suppose you have had orators here this evening that have dis- cussed the issues—that told you what the pol- icy of the Republican party is and what it will be under this mext administration should they have that administration. It is thereforo not just the thing for me to talk very much upon that at this time, inasmuch as I have already formulated a policy of my administra- tion and it will be published so that all of you will have a chance to read it carefully before you cast your votes. I don’'t know as there is very much more that I can say. I have been & citizen here for a long time. A great many of you no doubt know me per- Sonally and have probably had business rela- tions with me, particularly in the City Hall, for I know the city was in debt to almost everybody when I went there, and I presume that as I have to go somewhere else this even- ing T hope you will excuse me from further re- A:z'ér speaking at the Alhambra Wells proceeded to Odd Fellows’ Hall, where the Native Sons of Vermont were holding a soclal. Some of Wells’ friends desired to have him make a speech, but the offi- cials of the Vermont society declined to allow politics to be brought into the gath- ering. . Candidates Worthy of Support. Charles F. Corey, nominee for Re- corder, is a popular and capable man, who has demonstrated his fitness for the public service in several important posi- tions. He was chief deputy under Al Berthier and performed the duties of the office in a most acceptable manner. J. E. Barry, nominee for City Attorney, deserves the support of citizens. His rec- ord as Justice of the Peace is one of the best ever made. His abilities as a lawyer are beyond question. His integrity is rec- ognized wherever he is known. The office that he is a candidate for is an import- ant one, but he has the ability and expe- rience to meet its requirements. BY A BLOW OR FALL Frank Brall Found in an Unconscious Condition and Taken to the Hosspival. John MecCallum, living at 737 Mission street, visited the Harbor Receiving Hos- pital early yesterday morning, leading Frank Brall, known as “Frenchy.” Brall's skull was found to Be fractured. Policemen Janes and Hightower were notified, and to them McCallum stated that he met Brall in a saloon and treatcd him to several drinks. A stranger stand- ing at the bar asked McCallum for the “‘price of a beer” and he offered him 1 cents, but the stranger wanted more. Brall advised MeCallum not to. give the stranger any money, as he was a “bum,” and MecCallum rplll! the dime in his pocket. McCallum left the saloon, expecting Brall to follow him. He missed him a minute later, and turning round saw Brall lying on the sidewalk and the stranger disappearing up the street. McCallum found Brall insensible, but succeeded in rousing him and taking him to the hospi- tal. cCallum could not recollect where the saloon was, and Janes and Hightower walked around with him for over two hours, but he could not locate it. It is supposed that the man who asked for the money struck Brzall on the head with some blunt instrument. As Brall was con- siderably under the influence of liquor he may have fallen and fractured his skull. He is doing well at the hospital and will recover. Mrs. Marie Smith in Court. Mrs., Marie Smith, who was arrested Thursday on the charge of obtaining money from citizens by falsely represent- ing that she was a collector for the In- fants’ Shelter, appeared in Judge Mogan's court yesterday morning. As no complaint had been sworn to the case was continued till November 7. In 1365 Mrs. Smith was assisted by the Associated Charities. At that time she ciaimed she was the widow of a mining man and gave her occupation as a dressmaker. —_—— Rice Murder Case.

Rice, a non-union ma- chinist, at Twentieth and Howard streets, October 11, was resumed before Judge Mogan yesterday.
