Bierman, who was recently appointed to the police force and given star No. 639. was the cause of trouble last night at one of Mayor Schmitz's meetings, held at Mascot Hall, Golden Gate avenue, near Buchanan street. In a manner voring of a tyrannical South American dictator, Policeman Bier- man refused to allow citizens to leave hall where Mayor Schmitz spoke and not until the insolent ¢‘guardian’ of t w the peace” was forced from the door that indignant citizens were able to leave the 8. >r Schmitz arrived at Mascot Hall | Ma ye at 10 o'clock and spoke for twenty min- utes. After he closed his speech a num- | ber of people, including the newspaper representatives, started to leave the build- ing while Dr. Dillon was beginning to speak. A dozen people had left the hall, when some one told Policeman Bierman not to allow one to leave until the meet- ing was over. Bierman forced the door shut and positively refused to open it again. He p d his back to the door and roughiy forced men away from him who desired to go out. “Open that door!” “What do you mean by keeping us here?” were the angry cries that followed Bierman’'s unwarranted con- duct. “No one can leave the hall until the meeting is over,” was Bierman's reply. To the newspaper men who demanded that they be allowed to leave the buliding Bierman turned a deaf ear and then de- manded to see the credentials of the writers. “Pull the door open!” cried a dozen men, and Bierman was seized and pulled away from the door and the crowd surged down the stafrs into the streét, The fact that Mayor Schmitz had ad- dressed a large meeting on the manner in which he had refused to allow the police to be used on street cars during the strike of the street car employes only served to incense the people at the in- solent conduct of Policeman Bierm:an. “If that is the way Schmitz proposes to use the police force to make cltizens stay at his meetings,” sald one angry citizen, “I don’t propose th vote for him. Bicrman got his-order to keep the peo- for 1 heard a man who seemed to know 1\}l_lho candidates give Bierman the order. This policeman is a disgrace to the polics force and he committed zn assault on citizens and technically ced vs under E t. I don’t think I will attend any more of Schmitz’s meetings 1f this sort of thing is to be allowed.” Mayor Schmitz's speech at Mascot Hall was mainly devoted to the manner in which the' street car strike settled. He declared that the police were to pro- tact life and property and not to be used for the benefit of any partcular class of citizens, rich or poor. The sisted that his record in the past two vears was a creditable one and that San Francisco had prospered on account of his regime. He said that ne did not be- lieve in strikes as they were ring he was the friend of the work- ingmen. At the Potrero Opera-house Mayor Schmitz addressed a large number of men and he was given a warm welcome. The Mayor designated the campalgning of his opponents as ‘“dirty work” and claimed that not a single vote would be lost to him on account of the statements made against him. The Mavor said that Lane’s candidacy for election was simply a ruse to draw sufficient votes from the Labor party so as to insure the election of Henry J. Crocker. The Mayor repeated the gist of his former speeches by declaring that San Francisco had flourisned despite the election of a Labor Mayor anl that if he was again given office he would have time to carry out long cherished pilans. Just what the plans were Schmitz did not state. . Speeeches were made at both Labor meetings by other candidates of the party. ENTHUSIASTIC FOR CROCKER. German-American Republican Club Strongly Indorses Republi- can Ticket. An enthusiastic meeting of the German- American Republican Club was held last night at Odeon Hall, 108 O'Farrell street. The capacity of the hall was taxed to its utmest by the members present, and mahy letters from prominent men who also belong to the organization were read, regretting their - inability to be present and expressing their utmost adherence to the purposes for which the club was atm- ing, namely, the election of Henry J. Crocker for Mayor and the entire Repub- lican ticket behind him. An amusing instance of the vehemence of misrepresentation that is being adopt- ed by the opposing parties was developed at the meeting. A card was received from C. Stader, who has been advertised wide- ly in the press as opposing the Republi- can ticket and as being financial secre- tary of the German Democratic Club, who asked that his name be enrolled as a member of the German-American Re- publican Club, declaring that his sympa- thies were entirely with the Republican ticket in this fight. Colonel Robert Wieneke was chairman of the meeting and the principal speakers were Dr. Brune, Charles Alpers, C. B. Rodef, Judge Joachimsen and A. E. Rjt- ter. The addresses were all made in Ger- man. The speakers adverted to the strong representation on the Republican ticket of German born and German de- scended candidates and urged every mem- ber of ‘the club to support the entire Mavor in- | injurious | to all parties and won applause by de- | | | ness men report their places “open,” as | tic liners which a steamship company is NRY J. CROCKER is far ahead of his competitors in the race for Mayor of San Francisco. Demo- crats are about ready to relinquisn the task of decelving themselves in regard to Lane's chances of success. 1 | It is universally admitted by all who have given the political situation close study that the contest is between Crocker and Schmitz. Ruef is doing everything in his power to boom the candidacy of Schmitz. Keane, out at the Mayor's office, is work- ing overtime for Schmitz’'s re-election, but neither Ruef nor Keane can excite popular enthusiasm for their candi Sam Rainey and the Fire Department are also standing in for Schmitz and pulling the wires to bring the police force into the Ruef corral. Martin Kelly is doing what he can for L and McNab. The fact is recalled at the Democratic four years ago hired detectives Horace Davis, then the Republican nom- | inee for Mayor. Mr. Davis kept an en- gagement made for him by a member of the campaign committee to meet Kel The incident was magnified intc tion by the Democratic press. Mr. Dav imis that he spoke to Kelly was Citizens were asked n called a confession. to withhold their support from Mr. Da- vis on the ground that he was tinctured with bossism. The same Democratic press is now serenely supporting Lane with full and ample knowledge that Kelly is be- hind McNab's candidate for Mayor. The threats uttered by Mafor Schmitz to hold Lane personally responsible for the circulation of scurrilous cartoons do not signify that McNab's man and Ruef's man will meet in rough and tumble per- sonal encounter. After Mr. Crocker’'s election Schmitz, through his attorney, Ruef, may bring suit for damages against Lane and the latter through his attor- ney, McNab, may bring counter suit, but all goed citizens express the hope that nothing like a sanguinary encounter wili ensue. PARRY AND THE COLT. Parry is said to have waxed Lane's g o | {ing that the equine reference was made to “| cali public attention to the Fire Depart- ment colt. The followers of Lane accuse the Schmitz-Ruef regime of corruption in ! | | office and the Schmitz supporters charge Lane with inefficiency and neglect of pub- lic duty. To the taxpayers it se six of one and half a dozen of the other. *hmitz appoints to responsible positions | | such specimens as Mershon and Parry | and then hies himself away tg New York oo | to make Democratic speech: Ruef practically dictates all the official ap- pointments. The taxpayers have resolved to oust the whole crowd and elect men to office who will give attention to public duty and do something toward the better- ment of San Francisco. All signs point ticket, not only because the men on it | were superior in every way to those on the opposing tickets, but because the Re- | to a remarkably large vote for Mr. publican party in convention had seen fit| Crocker. Republicans exclaim: “This to recognize so largely the German ele- | time I will vote the Republican ticket ment and the German influence in this city, than whom no better element exists.

This ssurance is gratifying in the extreme, nted, consisting | appropriating to himself the entire lagor vote of the city.

A good indication of the feeling enter- tained by the laboring men toward Henry J. Crocker may be obtamed from the fact that a number of carmen in uniform have lately been visiting the general headquar- ters at 16 Geary street and filling their poekets with Crocker buttons. In fact every day there are some prominent offi- cers of most of the trades unions of San Francisco visiting headquarters and de- claring their intention of voting the Re- publican ticket. Their enthusiasm is made more marked by the number of Crocker buttons and cards they take for distribu- tion.
