Addresses Three Audiences Which Applaud His Remarks. Franklin K. Lane addressed three audi- | the Shipley ences last night. He spoke first out at club ice of men em- | | to be about $i warm reception that had been accorded to him that they were his friends and would support the cause he represented. He id in part: “During the coming two years there is $.000,000 spent in this mu- niclpality in the form of improvements, and I know you want to see this money 1 spent to the best advantage. You want it thrown away, but you want y and fully devoted to the pur- which it is intended, that is, to ntial school bufldings al improvement of this t want a government that is joss. My record is clean and I all know it. If you are with the administration of the affairs of municipality go to the polls and vote for of government and want that kind, don't for me, because you won't get that I am going to see that things go straight and that justice is accorded to one and all.” Dr. Dr. Le- Dodge T. Byington, 1, “Billy” ., Judge Mogan and Marble. ane made his »cond speech to the rs of the Tt eth Assembly District utonia Hall on Howard strcet, be- 1th and Tenth. s d his speech by saying: “If » is to be boss in any party, at east let him belong to that party and fliliate with it and be a part of it. Don’t belong to the Republican ranks to run the Union Labor party. I t all bosses. 1 am for the plain, 1d simple rights of all the peo- c at large, whether they belong to the her they repre- In the office laboring classes or wh the interests of capital of the Mayor all shall have an equal hear. ing, the poor and the rich alike. The of- the chief executive of this munici. all always be open for the ad- ion for the people’s good, and e will be no playing to favorites if I ected. I want a clean, straight gov- t, and if you want that kind of ad- , all right; if you don’t, why vote for the other kind—and the Abe Ruef kind. You have got rely on the integrity of the men in of- at being the case, go to the 0 sday next and vote for the en who will give you your just rights, irrespective of any partisanship. Lift vourselves above party lines and show commonwealth that we are . true, free-thinking, loyal Ameri- , who have the interests of welfare at heart. The votes you ting now are not to simply cover of the passing moment—they pality minis th me. They are votes to stamp sm and show the world at large that the citizens of San Francisco know what is right, and that they want honesty to be the watchword henceforth in the management of the affairs of our grand municipality.” Thomas McKeon was master of ceremo- nies. Talks were made by Dr. Dodge, John Connor, Judge Mogan, P. J. Curtis, A. H. Wehe, T. Carey Friedlander, John Barnett and Oscar Hocks. Lane’s third speech was to the voters of the Forty-fifth Assembly District in Washington-square Hall, on Stockton and Union streets. In the early evening the hall had been crowded, but as the hour grew late many left, and when Lane ar- rived at 11 o'clock the hall was only com- fortably filled. Those who were there, however, were evidently all for Lane, judging from the bursts of applause that punctuated all the salient points of his re- marke. He said in part: am sorry I came so late, but it could not be helped. The distances between the halls are great and much time was lost on that account. I ean see at a glance that y 1 are with me in this fight, and I tha u for this kind and unusually hearty demonstration, which is most wel- come to me. I had always thought that this district was run by Abe Ruef, at least that is what I know he gives out, but this outpouring of support to the cause of clean administration proves that he is wrong in his assertions. He has promised you a great many things here | in this locality and he will get them for you or not as suits his fancy and inclina- tion. ““This is a great district for handing out gold bricks, and Ruef thinks you are gullible. He is mistaken this time. ¥ou know what you want and you are going to have it. The candidate on the head of the Union Labor party salls under a false label. He does not represent that party; he represents Abe Ruef’s party. “In all the appointments during the last two years there were only 200 to the Union Labor party men. You will find, my friends, that the true labor union men will come back to the Democratic fold, and on Tuesday night we will have an overwhelming majority."” Dr. Giannini presided at the meeting. Short speeches were made by Edward Rock, John Connor, W. W. Sanderson, Judge Cabaniss, Judge Mogan, Thomas Hickey and Frank Grace. RS TWO COW ORDINANCE. Dairymen Are Opposed to Supervisor Peter J. Curtis. The dairymen of San Francisco are en- thusiastic advocates of the-candidacy of Henry H. Lynch for Sheriff, because they had enough of Peter J. Curtis when the last named placed -his own interpretation on the “two cow” ordinance. Dairymen assert that the provisions of the ordinance were applied rigidly to those who did not buy hay of Curtis. The story is told of one dairyman who com- plained of the hard features of the ordi- nance. He remarked that he would be compelled to get out of the business. An- other dairyman said “You won't have any trouble if you buy your hay of Curtis.” The milk men will have an opportunity next Tuesday of telling Supervisor Cur- tis what they think about his style of in- terpreting a city ordinance for the regu; lation of dairies. There are many indi- cations that Curtis’ two nominations will not bring about his election, as Henry H. Lynch is everywhere regarded as the friend of the workingman. e —— Will Start in Swimming Races.

OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 30.—While at Lodi, Cal., F. W. Crosby, who is collect- ing geological specimens for the Smith- sonian Institution, read of the discovery here of an immense meteorite. He left at once for this place and pronounces the find a genuine discovery. “This is the largest specimen of metal- lic meteorites that has ever been found in the United States and among the largest ever discovered in the world,” said Cros- between 20,000 and — iron and nickel, probably nine or ten parts) DESPONDENT SALOON MAN being iron.

Lane Is a Limping Third in Race and Is Losin g Support in His Own Party. HENRY‘ J. CROCKER, Republican nominee, is surely the leading candidate in the race for Mayor. His position in the front exposes him to attack, but the assaults are inef- fective. He goes forward winning new friends for himself and gaining new advo- | cates of a greater San Francisco. The! Crocker column J4s securing many acces- sions from the wage earning ranks. The time has come for the conservative | citizen, who believes that the election of Schmitz would be a calamity, to pause and soberly consider the chances of the two other candidates for Mayor. It will | not be forgotten that two years ago | Wells, the Republican candidate, ran the fact nearly 500 votes ahead of Tobin, Democrat, and this in spite of the that a large number of Republicans vot- ed for Tobin. The reason of this was that the Union Labor party is nearly $0 per cent Democratic and the Democratic | party is 60 per cent Union Labor. Tobin lost nearly 60 per cent of the vote which he would have received if there had been no Union Labor candidate. The Demo- cratic portion of this vote is as solidly for Schmitz this year as it was two years ago. Mr. Lane has absolutely failed to | produce any effect upon this vote and in consequence he goes into the campaign with a defection of nearly 60 per cent. It is absolutely impossible for him to | draw enough votes outside of his party to make up this loss. Mr. Crocker, on the other hand, has made many accessions from the labor ranks, chiefly from union men who are Republicans and who be- lleve that Schmitz is not representative of unionism and that unionism is best served by a man who will preserve and advance the business interests of the city. SIGNIFICANT FACT. Another significant fact is that last year, with three tickets for judicial of- fices in the fleld, the Democratic Judges and Justices of the Peace received from 10,000 to 15,000 votes. The reason for this is that the same condition prevailed last year as the year before—6) per cent of the Democratic vote went to Union La- bor nominees. Two years ago many Re- publicans voted for Tobin because Wells had made blunder after blunder, and his weakness was apparent to all. Tobin was taken up as a forlorn hope and the Re- publicans who voted for Tobin .elected Schmitz. This year, on the other hand, Mr. Crocker galned the confidence of every one right at the start. He has made a straightforward, manly fight and has proved himself worthy of the support of all. Wells lost votes every time he ap- peared upon the platform and Crocker has gained them. A conspicuous instance of this was at the Potrero Opera-house Monday night. The crowd, which was largely Union Labor, had been shouting for Schmitz all the evening. Crocker ap- ® Suspects in Pennsylva- nia Tragedy Show No Worry. ALLENTOWN, Pa., Oct. 30.—Charles and John Bechtel, who are being held for the murder of their sister, do not seem to be worried about their positions. They deny emphatically that the girl was killed ; in her home on Sunday night, and say that she was not at home that night. They declare that they were not aware that they were suspected of a guilty knowledge of her; murder. Speaking of his brother Tom's suicide John said: “I guess he was troubled too much. He worrled because he could not go to the funezal.” » There was a rumor to-day that Mrs. Bechtel, mother of the murdered girl, had attempted suicide last night. At the time it developed, however, that she was at police headquarters. Alfred Eckstein, Miss Bechtel's affilanced lover, who was held as a witness, was ad- mitted to bail to-day. ‘While the family were attending the funeral yesterday Chief Eastman made a thorough search of the house. Blood spots were discovered on the stairway leading to the cellar. Information was lodged to-day against Mrs. Catherine Bechtel, Miss Myra Bech- tel, John and Charles Bechtel, charging them as accessories after the act in the murder of Mabel Bechtel. —_————— Treasurer Sinclair Is Vindicated. SPOKANE, Oct. 30.—A private cable- gram from Manila states that Treasurer Bartlett Sinclair of Rizal province has | been vindicated of the charges of neglect of his office and is now on his way home. One of his deputies, an American, was convicted and sentenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment for stealing public funds. Four Filipino deputies were also convict- ed. Sinclair resigned his office. In 1898 he was elected State Auditor of Idaho on the fusion ticket and became especially prominent during the Coeur dAlene riots of 1899 as the representative of Governor Steuenenberg. - — Chicago Publisher Asphyxiated. CHICAGO, Oct. 30.—Horace L. Green and his wife were found dead in bed here to-day, the result of asphyxiation. Green was publisher of the Free Thought Magazine. He was 75 and his wife about 72 years old. The aged couple were prob- ably the victims of an accident. A gas; part: jet was found partly open.

Of course the register also contains the names of many electors who kave died since their last registration, but the ex- act number is not known. W. thinks that the total vote at the election will be within 60,000. Tha Republican campaign committee estimates that the total vote will be somewhere between 38,000 and .- 000. The resuit for Mayor is thus fore- casted: Crocker, 25000: Schmitz, 19,00 Lane, 14.000; Whitney (Socialist), 2000; total, 60,- 000. There is political gossip to the effect that the Socialistic vote will show a marked increase. It is satd that many Union Labor men who cannot stand Ruef will vote the Socialist ticket rather than glve their support to a Republican or Democrat. The betting in places where wugers are lald on a regular business basis, apart from political or persomal sentiment, is 4 to 1 againtst Lane. The professional betting man offers to wager $100 against $25 that Lane will not be bet- ter than third in the race. Colonel Ko- walsky yesterday wagered $1000 that Crocker would be elected Mayor. The wager was accepted by a Schmitz man. Two yvears ago Kowalsky Det on Schmitz Land won $1700. So great is the tide of popularity that has set in toward Henry J. Crocker that he is in demand at some place every hour in the day. His office is vesieged with people from the various districts, each anxious to make some appointment in their section for the next Maytr. They all believe that on next Tuesday a Re- publican tidal wave for Crocker will swamp the other candidates for Mayor. This . feeling is in the atmosphere and accordingly new friends are coming for- ward, the people who always take care to be on the right side of the fence. The many hostile attacks agamst him. have only served, it would seem, to Ltring new supporters to him. Yesterday found him along the docks carrying on his fight in the manly, straightforward way that has marked his campaign, and which evén his enemies have paused to admire. Each day now means new routes and new ef- forts to a victorious finish next Tuesday. ARMY MOURNG DEAD LEADER Thousands of Salvation- ists Hold Service at Chicago. CHICAGO, Oct. 30.—Surrounded by 3000 Salvation Army mourners, who had gath- ered at the Princess rink to-night to pay tribute to the memory of Mrs. Emma Booth-Tucker, who was killed in a rail- road wreck last Wednesday night, Com- mander Booth-Tucker, in a sermon full of pathos, told of the many good deeds per- formed by the dead leader.

At the conclusion of the ceremonies the cof- fin containing the body was removed td the Pennsylvania station and will be taken to New York early to-morrow morning. Commander Booth-Tueker will travel on the same train and will be ac- companied by Colonel Sowton and a num- ber of other officers, including Ensign Hester Dammes, who was private secre- tary to Mrs, Booth-Tucker and who was with her at tle time of her death.
