BOSTON POLICE ARREST SUSPECT Hold Young Armenian at the Request of Scotland Yard. BOSTON, Oct. 2.—On arrival of the! steamer Ivernia from Liverpool at her| dock to-day Vehtan Krikorian, an Arme- | nicn, was arrested at the request of | Scotland Yard on a charge of being ac- | cessory before the fact of the murder of | Segatel Sagouni on Tuesdsy. Krikorian | claimed that his object in coming to this | country was to attend lectures at Har- | vard, but on being searched only % was | found in his possession. He will be ar- raigned before a United States Commis- stoner to-morrow. | The police deem the arrest of the utmost | importance. The prisoner denies any | knowledge of a conspiracy to kill Sagouni | and appeared surprised to hear of the tragedy. He admitted that he knew the murdered man and that he had attended several meetings of the Revolutionary So- ciety in London before his departure for | this country. He denied that he belonged | to any revolutionary society. Krikorian said he was 3 years old and | a graduate of the American College in | Constantinople. For the last three years, he told the MEEET N Sl Sl A B R don’t know good from bad. I don’t want | their votes. But I do want the votes of the kind and class who are loyal to their city’s interests. no matter whether they belong to the Republican, Democratic or | Union Labor parties.” Edward Coffey presided at the meeting.

The stories circulated by McNab's evening paper that Horace Davis, J. B. Stetson, George Center, F. W. Dohrmann, William L. Gerstle and other leading cit- izens are supporting Lane's candidacy are utterly false and stupid. No doubt some of the men mentioned entertain per- | Davis is a firm and outspoken suporter of Henry J. Crocker. James B. Stetson pub- lely declares his intention to vote for Mr. Crocker. William L. Gerstle is a stanch supporter of the Republican nominee. Mr. | Dohrmann gives Mr. Crocker positive as- | surance of support. George L. Center says: “I have never authorized any person to | quote me as preferring Mr. Lane to Hen- | ry J. Crocker for the office of Mayor. I have never publicly expressed my pref- | erence for one from the other. They are | both good citizens. My preference will | be expressed on next Tuesday, when I go into the voting booth. I am a Republican iand when my party places good men on the ticket for public offices, everything | being equal, it has been my practice and | #t is my duty to support the ticket. I | know of nothing at the present time that | will cause me to deviate from this rule. I'nm is all I care to say on the subject Just now, further than that I most | tively deny having ever said that I fa- vored Mr. Lane as against Mr. Crocker.” The Repubiican compaign committee, ‘W. J. Dutton chairman, holds daily ses- sions and considers the intelligence re- ceived from the various Assembly dis- i tricts of San Francisco. The Republican forces all along the line are well organ- ized and confident that a great triumph for the party and the people will be won next Tuesday In the election of Henry J. Crocker. It is estimated that the total vote next Tuesday will be somewhere be- twen 58,000 and 60,000. It is the judgment of this committee—a judgment formed af- ter a review of facts and figures from every district—that Mr. Crocker will get 25,000 votes. WAGEWORKERS FOR CROCKER. The committee is in possession of posi- tive and authentic intelligence that many of the wageworkers of the city whose support was given to Mr, Schmitz two years ago will vote for Henry J. Crocker next Tuesday because they regard the | Republican nominee as the fairest man of the three candidates for Mavor.

ALFRED C. RULOFSON, JAMES McNAB, MILTON H. ESBERG, JULIUS KAHN, ———, By Abe Ruef’s Brand Peter J. Curtis Is the Union Labor Nominee for Sheriff. } E is not the slightest doubt 1 that Peter J. Curtis obtained the | Union Labor party nomiaation | for Sheriff on an agreement to | surrender one-half or a good share of | the patronage of the office to Sclunnx: and Ruef. The latter had absolute con- | trol of the Union Labor Convention. All| that Ruef had to do in the execution of a programme was to tell Schmitz what he wanted. The Mayor then pressed the | button and Tom Eagan “did the rest”| | The Democratic Convention made a hard | and fast rule that not one of the nomi- nees should accept a nomination from | | another political party. Candidates were | | pledged to abide by this rule. but the | pledge did not deter Curtis from dicker- ing with the manager of the Labor con- | vention. A story now comes to light to the ef- fect that a well-known resident in the city, who was strongly in favor orl Schmitz for Mayor in the campaign of Among others greeting Mr. Crocker was Charles Minert, president of the Sugar Workers' Union. The candidate mace a | favorable impression on the unicn man as evidenced by his remark. “If they were all like you we might 'eq!_l-lhe things and come together better.” Some- times there were a large group of busy workmen together. Mr. Crocke: was in- troduced to several of these with the re- mark, “This is Mr. Crocker, bays, aonll forget him.” The answer came ‘in a prompt and emphatic way, ‘We'll not CROCKER. | i ! forget him.” From a group :n the en- | gine-room came the open ex | confidence, “We'll vote for you all| i right.” ] | GERMANS ARE FOR The Germans are for Crocker. There is no doubt that his genuine heartiness of | nature is akin to that for which they are ; noted. Crocker asked one German how | he liked the rousing meeting held lhh{ night before in the Potrero. “It was all ] right. Lots of the people changed their opinion and their vote after you spoke, came the answer. Another l_flld. “1 be- lieve you are our friend, and I'll give you vote anyhow.” .“'hen Crocker left the works he called “Good luck” to the busy men around | him, and they cried, “The same to you, | and we hope to see you elected.” That is plain enough to show which way the wind is blowing. A young teamster leax- ing the works with his heavy wagon was made happy by the next Mayor tumbling lnbehindmdfldtn‘u!lrn(hofm -on Works with him. hTha.bller place, with its more than 3000 men, was reached about noon, and the men as they came out for lunch recog- nized Mr. Crocker and many of them stopped for a word and a ‘handshake. This was but the opening for a reception later, which proved that the first visit made to the works some weeks ago by | Henry J. Crocker has been remembered ‘and.ym‘oodfm!l. His visit yesterday ‘,bnl marked a successful climax After Juncheon at the vards dining-room Mr. lCroelCl’ visited several of the ships in course of construction. From the hatch- ways 4nd turrets of me‘ .odhto -:id the Ta- coma came the men, g to give a mo- ment from their tasks to show their lik- the vote there’ll be plenty of room for Crocker to get in.” One man came up with the re- Mh-utu::wxfltlfitimk: i | little girl or you af - Crocker.” He § l i Haitier il | H 1 i i gl i::ii i upon by an applicant for a position in| the Sheriff's office. The applicant, sup- posing that the man he was addressing was still in the Schmitz fight, said: “] want you to give me a letter of in- troduction to Mayor. Schmitz. I can get a pesition in the Sheriff's office if Curtis is elected, provided I can get the in- dorsement of Schmitz and Ruef. because Curtis got the Union Labor nomination on a deal to give Ruef half the patrom- age in the office.” The man to whom the request for the letter was made frankly said that he | supported Schmitz two years ago, but in this campeaign he was standing in for Mr. Crocker. He remarked, however. that his personal relations with the Mayor were agreeable, and therefore he | would give the letter of introduction as | desired. Subsequently the letter was written | and the applicant for a position in the Sheriff's office presented the letter to Mayor Schmitz. The Mayor read the| the sald: “Henry was always a nice, whole- souled fellow, and success has not changed him.” And that's the way many of these men who toil think of Henry J. Crocker. And that thought of him will do | much to bring him many -of their votes. | ‘After the reception of yesterday the| kand of the Republican candidate looked | a duplicate of that of the hardest worker in the ranks. Almost everything had | touched it, from sugar to soot. Crocker | does not mince matters in handshaking. From the Union Iron Works the Risdon | Works were next visited, and the same| rt: Thomas pression of | greetings, marked by the same good feel- | Court: Carvoll Cook. ings, were exchanged by the.men with Mr. Crocker. Not ome man out of the | hundreds empioyed there but was glad to see him. That finished up the ten miles | of greetings, and it was well along in the afternoon before Mr. Crocker regained | his office, tired but thoroughly pleased and satisfied with his day of campaigning.
