The Examiner's boss |is a candidate for President. He wants the nomination from the Democrats and therefore his paper must be Democratic. He wants the | nomination from the labor unions and there- fore his paper must be labor union. The Democrats have a candidate for Mayor in the person of Franklin K. Lane, and the labor unions have a candidate in the person of Bu- | gene E. Schmitz. the Examiner should support Lane and oppose Schmitz it wbuld of- fend the Labor Union party and if it should support Schmitz and oppose Lane it would | offend the Democrats. S0 here is a dilemma. What is the poor devil to do? HUSBAND HIS YOUNG WIFE Mrs. Leon Marks Asks Police to Find Her Better Half. The secret marriage of Leon J. Marks, son of Edmond Marks, a broker, and Miss Estelle Murphy in San Rafael last month is not likely to result happily. Already the young bride is seeking her husband, who, rumor has it, has fled to parts un- known. Mrs. Marks appiled to the po- lice Wednesday night to assist her’ in ascertaining the whereabouts of her hus- band, and she mentioned search war- rants and the like as a means of bringing him into her presence. On September 5 of this year Miss Mur- phy and Marks were married. According to the bride, the nuptials were to be kept a secret for at least six months, at the end of which time an announcement was to be made. Marks' family objected seri- ously to the union. The groom requested silence and it was mutually agreed that “mum” should be the word. Since the ceremony has been performed Mrs. Marks has tried to see her husband. She has been unsuccessful. ‘Wednesday night, in company with a friend, she ap- proached the house at 916 Devisadero street, where Marks lived with his pa- rents, and was told that he was ill with a fever and could not see her. Then she questioned a patrolman as to whether Marks had been seen leaving or entering the house. He said a light had been seen burning in the house all night and that the story of Marks’ illness might possibly be true. Then the girl made an appoint- ment to return last night, but did not do 50. ‘When the family of Marks were ques- tipned regarding the marriage they made strenuous denial. The mother and sisters were indignant at the suggestion that such a thing should be published and did not even relent when informed that rec- ords proved such to be the case. They stated that Leon was not at home and could not be seen. Later a friend of the Marks family hint- that the marriage on the girl's part not as secret as she wi have peo- pla belleve it to have been. Intimation is made that there is another woman the case. Just what the outcome will This is what it s trying to do. It is try- ing to ‘‘carry water on both shoulders.” Tt will make a pretense perhaps of supporting Lane. but it will be very careful to say noth- ing offensive to or about Schmitz, and, If possible, its language will be so guarded that, ‘while pretending to support Lane to satisfy the Democrats, it can claim to the Labor Unlonists that it is really supporting Schmitz. Did you notice the splendid lift it gave Schmitz in the lengthy and full account of his ratification meeting? ‘The Examiner is trying a dangerous ex- periment jand 1t it is not extremely shrewd ana very careful it will “fall between two stools, " The policy it has marked out for itself will be satisfactory to neither party. The fact that the Examiner is now dancing to the music of Gavin McNab's political orchestra affords infinite del!ght to the regulars of the old Democratic ma- chine. McNab has waited long for the opportunity to make the Examiner walta.

Baird, scion of the wealthy family of that name, who has been be- fore the public on more than one occa- sion, having figured in several sensational escapades with a notorlous woman, on whom he lavished his affections and a large part of his money, started out last evening with the evident intention of emulating the deeds of Deadwood Dick, the Black Hills sharpshooter, and wound up in the City Prison on charges of dis- charging firearms in the city limits and carrying a concealed weapon. A short time ago Miles Baird sprang suddenly into notorlety by recelving a knife thrust at the hands of the woman from whom he.had rescued his younger brother and in turn had fallen a victim to her wiles. Last night about § o’clock Miles Baird was standing at the cigar store in front of the Russ House bar on Montgomery street somewhat under the influence of liquor. According to his own story, Wal- ter Schlessinger, the clerk at the cigar store, jestingly made some remark to the effect that he did not know how to use Tevolver, and ‘just for fun’’ he banged away at the swinging doors of the saloon as an {llustration of his markmanship. The bullet passed through the mahogany doors, and it is regarded as miraculous that no one was hit. Patrolman Groat arrived and placed Baird under arrest. A search of the saloon failed to bring to light the bullet, and it undoubtedly lodged somewhere in the woodwork, Baird when booked at the City Prison gave the name of George McColl. He was thoroughly repentant and gave evidence of having indulged too freely in liquor. Up to a late hour last night he had not been admitted to bail. When searched a 32-caliber revolver was found in his pos- session. —_——————— U. S. Postoffice give us a good-sized order for printing and binding. Mysell-Rollins, 22 Clay. * @ it @ ig hard to tell.

Lane Talks the Tax Collector Off the Ticket and Puts Another Nominee Asleep. the enemy of labor, is now supported in a half-hearted manner. Poor Schmitz, almost daft with grief, is turning to Ruef and Parry and the colt for consolation. He is explaining to his bunch of sympa- thizers in each district that he went to New York not to help a Democratic nominee for Congress, but to help: a friend of labor. Now that friend of labor is embracing Gavin McNab and Franklin K. Lane, who were recently assailed as foes of organized labor. Schmitz, In his distress last night, said he was glad the newspapers were against him. In the light of his experience with the Demo- cratic press he has a right te entertain that feeling. In the Democratic camp all is confusion. Lane talked the nominee for Tax Collector off the ticket last Wednes- day night, so there are now three vacan- cies for McNab to fill. WHILE AT TABLE el Yee Get Tong Mur- dered While Eating Evening Meal. .. Yee Get Tong, Interpretergfor the law firm of Barnes & McCloskey and the Chi- nese Freemasons and erstwhile convict, was riddled with bullets while at supper in his room in the headquarters of the Hop Sing Tong, 826% Clay street, last evening shortly before 6 o’clock. The discovery of the crime was made by Ah Gee, a Chinaman residing in the house, who was on his way to his roem and in passing the open door of the apart- ment occupied by Yee was horrified to see hisfbody lying on the bed with the blood flowing from a gaping wound in the head. ‘He immediately ran to the street al notified Special Watchman Henry ffield, dDetective McMahon and Corpor- al Sylvester. ‘The officers repaired to the room and upon making an investigation discovered that Yee had been shot,while seated at, table partaking of his evening meal. TI murderer had undoubtedly crept up to his victim through the open door and, placing the weapon within two inches of Yee's head, pulled the trigger and sent a bul- let crashing into his brain. The bullet en- tered the right side of the head, directly in front of the ear, and the face .is con- siderably powder marked. Two other bul- lets were fired into the victim's body. Yee fell between two beds in the room, $ith his head toward the wall. His mur- derer, wishing to make certain of his prey, fired three more shots, none of which, took effect, the bullets lodging in the wall. The officers ascertained that the blood- thirsty highbinder had made his escape govsh a_ trapdoor opening on the roof d then down a flight of stairs to Spof~ ford alley. He left absolutely no clew to his identity and the police are not over- confident of capturing him. 1t is the consensus of opinion in fln nese quarter that Yee came to his at the hands of one of the members of his own ton{.h‘ l?hh-d been.

The Olympic saloon, conducted by Thomas Havey at 519 Pacific street, was | th| the scene of a daring hold-up last evening | and only the alertness and sprinting abili- ty of Patrolman Richard Skain prevented | the criminal from making his escape. W. H, Eggleston, a mining man residing at the New Western Hotel, was the vic- tim of the intfepid crook, and he lost a valuable gold watch and a nugget chain. Eggleston sauntered into the saloon, and, after having a drink, was accosted by Morris Becker, the man in custody. Backer was very friendly and had several drinks with his new acqualntance. After being in the saloon for about an hour Eg- gleston retired to the lavatory and was followed by Becker, who suddenly drew an ugly looking revolver and ordered him hrow up his hands. leston immediately complied and ‘was relieved of his watch and chain. The robber than ran out of the saloon and up Pacific street. Patrolman Skain was at- tracted by the blowing of a police whistle and started in pursuit. The fleeing crook increased his pace and ran down Kearny street, turning into Jackson, in the direc- tion of Dupont. When near Bartlett alley he was overhauled by Officer Skain and members of the Chinatown squad. He re- sisted arrest, but was overpowered and lodged in the City Prison on a robbery charge. Eggleston identified his assailant and the evidence is sufficlent to send him across the bay for a term of years. Becker is a new in the city and is known by the nams Jacob Silverman. The po- lice are elated over the capture and are confident that a dangerous criminal has ‘been apprehended. s quarrel in a house of {ll fame over money matters. The dead man was an ex-convict, hav- ing been released from San Quentin about one year ago, after serving a sentence of ten years for the x.lrder of his uncle in a pawn shop on shington street and Ross alley. He bore an unsavory reputa- tion among his own people and had been acting as interpreter for the defense in the case of Woo Shook, charged with im- plication in the robbery of a store on Du- pont street about one year ago, notwith- standing the fact that the Six Companies issued a circular warning all Chinese from assisting the defense in the case. It is believed that the stand he took in the face of the warning may have been one of the causes that led up to his death. Owing to the fact that the room was on presence of mind.

Mr. Hinton attended a meeting at the Alhambra four years ago and went out while Lane was talking of himself. Wednesday night when he came in through the wings an heard Lane still talking on the familiar | subject he fancied that it was the same old speech not quite concluded. Thomas W. Hickey, chairman of Gavin McNab's recent convention, has laid down the rule that Michael J. Hynes shall net again in this campaign appear on the same platform with Franklin K. Lane. The. songs of “Billy”” Hynes' repertory, which the representative Democrats love to hear and which the Horse and Cart | men prize far above the platitudes of | Lane, are quite comical. The langhing | song is great and the song about the fel- to \Xorraw s surely amusing. The voice of “Billy” Hynes may not especially qualify him for the office of Public Administrator, but if Lane can chase for an office on his record as a talker, Hynes surely has the right to run on his record as a singer. ‘lnw who lost the train Republican Club Elects Officers.
