THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1901 . —— FIRST NEWS OF SCHMITZ SWEEPING VICTORY IS FLASHED FROM THE DOME OF THE CALL TREMENDOUS CROWD CHEERS THE VICTOR Men, Women and Boys Throng the Streets and Give Full Vent to Their Enthusiasm| When Red Light [lluminates the Sky Feeling Becomes Infeciious and Republicans and Democrats Join in.Acclaiming the People’s Choice for Mayor of This City ¥ any one harbored the delusion that the people of San Francisco were not interested in the election returns & view of Market street last night would speedily have dispelled it. Fully 2,00 men, women and boys risked their Bones in a crush which & squad of fifty policemen sought in vain to prevent. The crowd was out to hear the tidings of victory for the for- tunate candidates, end they good natured- 1y suffered all the inconveniences which the participation in & popular demonstra- tion of the kind necessarily infiicts upon individuals. By far the majority of the mass of peo- ple that was congregated before The Call and other newspaper offices at the inter- section of Market, Kearny and Third streets was in sympathy with the Union Labor ticket. This was amply demon- strated by the cheers that greeted every bulletin fiashed on the screens which told the story of Schmitz's victory. Those whose sympathies were with Wells and Tobin refused, however, to admit defeat for their favorites until the various sig- nals of red, white and green flashes con- ceded the election of the Union Labor standard bearer to the Mayoralty, and thereby removed the last lingering doubt.

The first precincts heard from were from the districts south of Market street. They showed an almost two-to-one vote for Schmitz. In many instances Schmitz polled twice as many votes as his oppo- nents’ combined votes. The bulletins con- | veying this information were invariably | given publicity first by The Call, and it | was before The Call screens that the bulk of the crowd was congregated. The Schmitz | people in the crowd cheered each suc- | ceeding bulletin over and over again. The Wells and Tobin supporters could scarce- ly give credence to the authenticity of the figures presented. At first they deem- ed the returns erroneous, but this impres- sion was fast removed as bulletins fol- lowed one another with the same story { of Union Labor pluralities all along the | line in Democratic districts. The faith of | the Wells and Tobin men was at 9 o’clock | pinned to the Republican districts, in | which it was hoped Wells would gain a lead with pluralities which would soon | overcome Schmitz’s strides south of Mar- | ket street. Even this hope was shattered later, when The Call bulletins showed that in the stronghold of the Republicans, 2s well as in Democratic precincts, Schmitz held his own. All hope was abandoned at 10 o'clock, when it was whispered among the crowd that Maurice Asher, chalrman of the Republican Coun- ty Committee, had conceded the election | of Schmitz. When the bulletin express- | ing the statement of the Registrar that | Schmitz’s election was & certainty ap- | peared a mighty shout arose.

Wells Men Regain Hope. Men of wealth stood beside sturdy sons of tofl, and d!d not disdain to argue the issues of the hour with them. When a Schmitz bulletin told the story of his ad- vancement to the front with a particu- larly favorable showing, the Schmitz sympathizers cried out, “Give it to 'em, Schmitz.” ‘When a bulletin showed Wells to be in the lead in some Republican precinct the same men would yell, “We expgcted that. It's no use though, Wells can never re- gain his lost ground.” For Tobin there were few who had aught save kind words to say in his behalf. The manly battle waged by Tobin throughout the cam- palgn evoked admiring comments on all sides, and his hopeless defeat awakened the sympathy of all save those radical men who see no virtue in the opponents of the men whose cause they have es poused. Shortly after 10 o’clock the bulletink be- gan to show gains for Wells, and the ad- herents of that gentleman began to dis- play unwillingness to admit his defeat un- til the very last vote was counted, and their hopes reviving. An occasional cheer could be heard when a Wells bulletin was displayed. But a moment later, a Schmitz bulletin would tell another story, and then the Union Labor men would make the welkin ring with their shouts. Still, for some time the final result was doubt- ful, At one time Schmitz was losing ground, and at another Wells was closing the gap between himself and his youth- | { |1 — NG THOUSANDS THROUGHOUT THE CITY NO DISORDER MARKS THE DEMONSTRATION Wellss Ghances Grow Brighter as Night Advances, but the Labor Leader’s Ad- vantage Is Too Great to Be Overcome Scenes Are Almost Unp of the City and Around the Various ”» ful rival for Mayoralty honors. The , from and crowd grew feverish, The first reports pointed to Schmitz as a sure winner, and later Wells began to forge to the front. It was a time for speculation, and men speculated freely. Hundreds left for their homes at 11 o'clock with the conviction that while the indications at that hour pointed to Schmitz as the next Mayor, the result would not be definitely known until the last precinct had been heard | @ ittt @ OLD RECORDS - 10 BE BURNED Documents of the Sailing | Navy Must Be De- stroyed. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. | W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 5—Rear Ad-| miral Bowles, Chief Constructor, has taken measures which will result in the destruction of many documents bearing upon_the history of the sailing navy of the United States. 3 For eighty years plans of old vessels, reports and specifications, lists of con- struction stores and papers descriptive of every foot of live oak cut on Government | reservations for men-of-war have accu- mulated in the Construction Department and have filled up all the room available. The needs of the modern navy are such that it is imperative that space shall be | provided for reports and other documenis relating thereto. Rear Admiral Bowles has therefore directed the transfer to the navy yard of something like 35000 plans which will be stored in a fireproof vault at that point. Reports and documents relating to mat- ters which can never arise again will be put aside for destruction. ~ Before they can be disposed of it will be necessary under the law for Congress to appoint a committee of Senators and Representa- tives to examine them.
