Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—More foreign wines have been excluded from the United States on account of adulterations. This time the Rhine wines have come un- der the ban of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Agricultural Department upon cer- tification from the Séeretary of Agricul- ture that the samples examined showed the use of salicylic acid as a preserva- tive. The Secretary of the Treasury to- day directed the exclusion of a consign- ment of Rhine wine that had been shipped from Mainz, Germany, to an importer in Philadelphia. The exclusion of the wines was on the ground that they were adul- terated so as to be injurious to health and also on the ground that the sale of wines in which salicylic acid is used is forbid- den in Germany. The department also excluded to-day a consignment of olive oifl shipped from Florence, Italy, to Baltimore, on the ground that it was adulterated with other vegetable oils and was falsely labeled as “Pure Olive OIL” Another consignment of olive ofl sHipped from Mainz to Balti- more was also excluded on the ground that it was fasely labeled, the analysis showing that it contained cottonseed ofl and peanut oil. These exclusions of wine and olive oll, the officials say, cannot fail to be of immense advantage to Califor- nia’s productions, S eee e Servia’s New Cabinet Is Welcomed.

Herewith are published a few extracts | from this editorial, wherein the Examiner gave its views of Franklin K. Lane and the man who was his sponsor for his | election as Governor: “The men responsible for the misuse of | authority in San Francisco were James D. Phelan and Gavin McNab. They turned the police force over to the Em- ployers’ Assoclation and, through thelir lieutenants, ordered the police not to ar- rest union men, but to club their heads j off whenever they were found. The pos- session of a union card was a sure pass- port to a cot in the receiving hospital. “But should he control the convention, we ask what good will it do him? The | answer is ‘none whatever,’ unless he has been bribed by the Republican porty to assist in the ruin of Democracy. Unless he is the Benedict Arnold of the Demo- cratic party, his control of this conven- tion will be as valueless to him as a title to the mountains in the moon. No Demo- cratic ticket nominated by Gavin McNab can hope to be elected in California. “To ' run on the McNab ticket means absolute defeat. “He is hated and despised by union labor, because he is the survivor and sole legatee of the Phelan-McNab machine. | He is despised by the Democrats of San Franclsco because, though glven some power to defeat Buckley and protesting that his sole purpose In politics was purity and reform, he has driven every one from the party councils except his own small clique. FOE OF THE UNIONS. “Gavin McNab is the enemy of the plain people and the foe of the trades union movement and the men he puts forward and who permit themselves to be put forward by him, this paper, ac- cordingly, cannot and will not support, no matter under what party name they are proposed. “It will fight the men and the political candidates who are lined up with Gavin McNab. “If the Democratic convention is truly representative of the Democratic party the Examiner will support its nominees with vigor, strength and fearlessness; but HE o FOR PEAGE He Has Had Enough of Fighting andIs Ready N to Retire. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—Samuel Parke, walking delegate of the Housesmiths' and Bridgemen’s Union, returned to-day from the convention of the Ironworkers at Kansas City, and announced that he was for peace with the employers under an ar- bitration agreement, and that he had had enough of fighting and was ready to re- tire as a leader in favor of a younger and more vigorous man. He declared also that it was not true that he intended to call a strike on the East River bridge. Members of the Employers’ Association, organized to promote peace agreements with the unfons, sald they would not recognize Parks or the Housesmiths' Union, that all the trades unions were in favor of the arbitration plan and work would now be generally resumed. ——— e TWO FOES OPEN FIRE AT THE SAME INSTANT One Falls With Bullet in Heart and "the Other Lives Omly a " Half-Hour. DENVON, W. Va., Oct. 5—Jacob Law- son and Andrew Farrel, both highly re- spected men of this community, who have been enemies for months, met this after- noon on the street here. After passing a few words each drew a revolver and opened fire at the same instant. Each man fired three shots and Lawson fell dead, a bullet having penirated his heart. Farrel also was shot and died in a half- hour. Bach one of the duelists has several sons, and the end of the feud is not yet. St SRR ¢ ‘Will Be Made a National Strike. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—Announcement was made to-night that the strike being waged against the new Iron League and the employers in the iron trade in certain sections of the country will be made a national strike. D e e e e 0 B PARKS DEGLARES | DRAWS COMFORT if the Democratic convention turns the Democratic party over to McNab, who has alienated all but 1461 of the voters, who dictates Democratic nominations and then works for Republicans, who elects Republican officlals to harass working- men with injunctions and who thinks it witty to sav of the members of the labor unions, “Thank God, we have got rid of the riff-raff of the Democratic party,’ the Examiner will not support him, nor his nominees."” ‘WILL NOT SUIT LABOR. On September 1 of last year the Ex- aminer again denounced McNab as the enemy of labor and declared Franklin K. Lane to be allled with McNab and that he was one of his trusted lieutenants. THe publication, under the caption of “No McNab Man Will Suit Labor,” was as follows: “Knowing full well that a lot of earnest Democrats from the interior would insist at Sacramento on asking from aspirants for nomination some tangible evidence of present good standing among the trades unionists of San Francisco, the McNab- Lane people plotted to bring about a meeting of such Union Labor party dele- gates as they fancled they could control and during the meeting to quietly slip a resolution through—one urging the Democratic State Convention to nominate “Lane for Governor. “As it happened the attendance at the meeting was larger than the. schemers expected and the sentiment was so in- tensely condemnatory of McNab and so plainly unfriendly to Lane and everybody else who trains with McNab znd does politics with him that the resolution was not offered. “Far from getting for any one of his proteges a certificate of good character, McNab was denounced as a foe of union- ism and as a political trickster, while Lane was handled as a candidate for whom the Union Labor party has no sym- pathy and no use. “As for Lane himself, he worked late and early to persuade impatient labor Jeaders to believe him not allied with Mc- Nab. In this line of toil he accumplished nothing, for of course the labor leaders are famillar with the sltuation and are very well aware that he is McNab's fa- vorite candidate and that he has fogr a long time been one of McNab's most trusted lieutenants.” On September 23 last the Examiner pub- lished the news of the nomination of FROM RELIGION Rockefeller Wants to Lecture Upon Its Blessings, Special Dispatch to The Call. CLEVELAND, Oct. 5.—John D. Rocke- feller, in talking with Rev. Dr. Eaton, pastor of the Euclld Avenue Baptist Church, gave personal testimony as to the value of religion to him and expressed a desire to go on the lecture platform. “You know,” he said “I was born in Richford, N. Y. There was no religion in Richford. When 1 was 8 years old I moved to a town made up largely of God- fearing people. That was a revelation to me. 1 shudder to think what I should have been if 1 had remained in Richford all my life. “There are o many men who hunt a little, fish a little, drink whisky a litte and only attain a little success In life and all for the lack of a little religion. The personal comfort that religion has been to me Is such that I feel I would like to go on the lecture platform and tell the people about it.” —— e May Tie Up Chicago Railways. CHICAGO, Oct. 5.—A crisis in the rela- tions of the Chicago City Rallway and its union employes, which may result in a strike, was reached to-day when General Manager, McCulloch refused the demands of a delegation of employes headed by President Mahon of the international or- ganization. The men demanded an in- crease in pay for men In the electric train department, a reduction in hours for the barn and repair men and the em- ployment of only union men.

SUPPORT OF THE EXAMINER FOR FRANKLIN K. LANE NTRASTED WITH BITTER ATTACK OF LAST YEAR e Candidate [s De- nounced as Ene- my of Unions. Workingmen Now Urged to Vote for Him. g2 . Franklin K. Lane for Mayor, of San Fran- cisco on the Democratic ticket. The following day the Examiner pub- lished an editorial entitled ‘“Where Union Is Strength It Is Folly to Divide.” The members of the Union Labor party were | urged to affiliate with the Democrac whose standard-bearer was to be Franl lin K. Lane. The workingmen were urged to associate politically with the party to be led by Lane, whom the Examiner had denounced a year ago as being a ‘“‘trusted lieutenant of Gavin McNab, the avowed enemy of labor. This is what the Examiner said In its| editorial of September 24 last: . “We regret especially that the Demo- | cratic Convention should have taken Khe} position that it cannot join hands with | the Union Labor party. The interests of | the Democratic party and of the labor | men are the same. Opposition to priv lege, regard for the interests of the com- mon people, are common to both. Both place the Interests of the great public above the interests of aggregated wealth. “There should be the same union be- tween the Democratic party and the workingmen as there is between the Re- publican party and the trusts. “For this reason the Democratic party and the Union Labor party should logic- ally be behind the same ticket. They are both looking to the same objects in State, national and city governments. NOMINATION IS DISASTER. In urging the election of Franklin K. | Lane as Mayor of San Francisco the Ex aminer knows full well that Gavin McNab is his trusted adviser. McNab played an important part in the | Temocratic primaries and in the munici- pal convention of the party. The Exam- iner editorially urges the Union Labor party to afliliate with the Democracy, yet one year ago this is what the Examiner | published with reference to Lane's candi- dacy for Governor: | “W. D. English and John Daggett are of the belief that if Lane be nominated it will mean disaster to the party. “John Daggett—The candidacy of Lane would be suicidal to the hopes of the Democracy in this campaign. | “W. D. English—I do not see how the friends of Lane expect him to win if he receives the nomination, with a large ma- jority of organized labor against him and other powerful elements of his party in opposition to his candidacy.” The Examiner now desires the members of the Union Labor party to support Franklin K. Lane for election as Mayor | of San Francisco. Gavin McNab has been the means of Lane securing the nomination on the Democratic ticket. Contrast the present attitude of the Ex- aminer to its utterances one year ago. CAMPAIGN OF FRAUD. On September 3, 192, the Examiner dis- played in bold type on its front page an article stating that McNab was trying to secure the nomination of Lane by a deli- berate fraud. It asserted that McNab had displayed a telegram purporting to be from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, in which Gompers indorsed the candidacy of Lane for Governor of California. The display of type was headed “Gom- pers refutes bold canard put in circula- tion by McNab.” McNab is quoted as de- nying that he ever received such a tele- gram from Gompers or heard of such a document. Ex-Governor Budd was interviewed and is quoted as saying of the incident: “That's their game, lies, lies, lies. They are making a campaign based on lies. If McNab told the truth he couldn’t elect a yellow dog. Their position, strength and assumptions are false.” On page 2 of the Examiner of the same date a story was published that at Lane's headquarters at Sacramento statements had been given out that men were in that city from San Francisco representing the Retail Clerks’ Union and the Machinists’ | Union. Telegrams from the president and business agent of these unions were se- cured, denying that any representatives were in Sacramento and stating that any one posing as such was an impostor. Thereupon the Examiner sald” “These dispatches have been shown to many del- egates, so they might be informed of the campaign of fraud being carried on by Gavin McNab to secure the nomina- tion of his candidate.” TURNS A SOMERSAULT. On this page The Call reproduces an ! editorial that appeared in the Examiner | on Wednesday, September 3, 1%2. The Examiner then stated that it would not support Franklin K. Lane, as he was the | personal candidate of Gavin McNab, whom it designated as the avowed enemy of labor. In the recent Democratic convention | that nominated Lane for Mayor of San | Francisco, It was known that McNab con- | trolled the majority of the delegates. The | Examiner is perfectly aware of this fact ! and that Lane was and is his candidate | for office. | Yet the Examiner is now champloning | the cause of Lane and asking the labor | union men to vote for him. The publie | can judge for itself the inconsistency of | the Examiner's policy at this time as compared to its policy of last year re-| garding its support of Lane. | | ward H. Stackable, GATHER ARDUND HISTORIC TABLE Daughters of Confeder- acy Meet in Annual BSession, Gavel Drops on Board on Which Ghent Treaty Was Signed. The Daughters of the Confederacy met yesterday for their annual convention at the home of Mrs. Alfred Hunter Voor- hies, on California street. The State or- ganization, composed of seven chapters, was called to order by Mrs. Selden S. Wright, the popular State president, who, | In a felicitous speech, welcomed the dele- gates to this, their third convention. In a manner that would reflect credit upon any legislative body the women set busily about reading and listening to reports, principal among which was that of Mrs. Voorhies, president of the Albert Sidney Johnston Chapter. This embodied a resume of the good work done during the year—notably the rellef and comfort be- stowed upon the veterans of the war— they who wore the gray. And that there are many who stand in need of succor in the evening of their lives was evident One had lost his home—his a'l-by fire. Others were ill and friendless. These had been relleved by the Daughters by the very best means at hand, but the report showed the manifest necessity of a per- manent system of rellef—hospital beds, the availability of a home, etc., such as is enjoyed by veterans of the North, and for this purpose the charity bali of the 23d 1s to be given at the Palace The report further stated that a compilation of historjcal gata of the war was one of the duties of the coming year, when every Confederate Daughter was to pre- sent in manuscript form such events as she personally encountered. As the door- vards of many of these wom ecame battlefields these reminiscences will be of | vital interest to us of to-da An interesting fact was developed in regard to the table at which the delib- erations took place. The g rapped upon the very table upon which Pres Madison signed the treaty of Ghent 1514. This interesting relic has been ax hefrloom in Mrs. Voorhies' family since that eventful day Durlng the afternoon a delightful pro- gramme was rendered. Mlss Alexander gave some of her Inimitable darky dialect storfes. The vocal renditions were greatiy appreciated by the delegates, and thus ended the first day of the convention—a ent day of peace, pleasure and mutual benefit. To-morrow the delegates will meet at Century Hall for further deliberations and to elect officers. It is generally con- ceeded that the southern part of the S will obtain the high offices. At the con- clusion of the routine work a presentation will take place, when the re g presi- dent will be tendered a flag of the lost cause wrought in flowers. At the meeting It was decided that Mrs. Selden S. Wright and Mrs. Voorhies should attend the national convention to be held in November at Charleston, S. C., to which the ladies will bear every port- able evidence of California’s allurements, that the Daughters may be induced to come to California for their national con- vention in 1905. On Wednesday morning at 9:30 o’clock a private car, chartered by the Albert Sidney Johnston Chapter, will be placed at the disposaliof delegates and Daugh- ters for an inspection tour of the city. On Wednesday evening, at the residence of Mrs. R. E. Queen, 2212 Sacramento street, the Jefferson Davis Chapter, Mrs. Van Wyck president, will hold a reception for the Confederate veterans and Con- federate Daughters. On Thursday after- noon, at the home of Mrs. W. A. Clark and Mrs. William O. Minor, 2917 Dwight way, Berkeley, a reception will be ten- dered the retiring and incoming officers, delegates and members of chapters. These functions will terminate the official affairs of the third convention of Daugh- ters of the Confederacy. PROMINENT CALIFORNIANS ARE VISITING NEW YORK Fire Commissioner Rolla V.
