HE CALL does not know how far the municipal administra- tion and its political following are pledged to support the iling the petition and begging for signatures. In fact, the acting ker of the Assembly used his influence as such to induce mem- to sign the document, an obviously discreditable exercise of his powers. Political gossip runs that there is a split in the clans and that war has been declared by the “little boss” against the “big boss,” the ectives being used to denote the preponderance of flesh rather than power. But we do know that the effort to secure the release of Steffens, Rebstock and Wyman originated in and was financed and worked by an important section of the Schmitz fol- We know that men representing this interest were active in bringing influence to bear on local newspapers to persuade and induce them to keep hands off. The strenuous character of this endeavor and the pressure ught to bear in favor of the convicted stuffers were manifest to all who were in attendance on the extra session, and Governor Par- dee may be frecly commended for resisting the demand which took on the aspect of a threat to destroy his political future. That Gov- ernor Pardee was offered the control of certain district delegations to the coming Republican State convention in exchange for a pardon is known, and this offer carried with it the implied threat of retalia- tion in case of refusal. It was an efnbarrassing alternative thus presented and the situation demanded an unflinching resolve not to be turned from the right course. It is gratifying to find that Gov- ‘ernor Pardee has proved equal to the demand. A COMMANDER IN PETTICOATS. N assertion of the right of property in servant girls made by Captain H. P. Howard, acting commandant at Fort ‘Walla Walla, Washington, raises a question not unlike that put by the employer of this city who recently complained er lowing. that his cook had been seen leading a forlorn hope on Captain | Kilian’s stores when she should have been busy among her pots and kettles. Captain Howard's sense of property appears to be un- usually acute, and as the girl refuses positively to work for Mrs. Howard, preferring the service of a mere lieutenant, the autocrat of camp, field and kitchen at Walla Walla has decreed her| exclusion from the post. The incident serves to arouse suspicion that Mrs, Howard is commanding the United States army at Fort Walla Walla.

Why should Hearst read his own editorials? Why should Armour eat his own sausages? He knows how they are made. An Illinois physician has caused the prosecution and punish- ment of two graceless youths who insisted on calling him “John D.” on the public streets in recognition of his striking likeness to the master of Standard Oil. This is judicial cognizance of the fact that Rockefeller’s name is a form of slander. In view of the oil king's well-known Sunday-school activities it must be discouraging to find himself identified judicially as an abusive adjective. Agricultural Director Fox speaks in a tone of levity concerning that highly moral circus, the State Fair as by law established, and he thinks that in the absence of gambling and the Demon Rum a corps of exhorters, with Filcher leading the choir, might prove an attraction. There will be no racing, or not enough to hurt, and | Filcher will raise his voice in song until even the cows go home. The inquiry for babies in the—Berkcley market is strong and insistent.

T is announced that the wedding of Mrs. Rebecca McMullin Belvin and Francis J. Heney, which was to have been celebrated next month, will not take place until the end of the year. Mrs. Belvin is in b been abroad since the early spring, is still in Switzerland and has as yet no plans for returning to San Fran- cisco. * * _ Mrs. Lucy Otis, who has been stay- ing at the James Otis home on Broad- * Arizona, spending the summer as the guest of her sister, Mrs. E. B. Perrin, and will not return for some weeks yet. Mr. Heney is in town for a few days on a brief business trip, but is returning almost immediately to Port- land. He will complete the land fraud cases in which he is engaged there and will be compelled to make a trip to Washington as well; so it will be the end of November at least before he will be able to return here for his wedding. * * * Mrs. Eleanor Martin has been in town quite continuously of late, busi- ness affairs and the repairs on her house demanding her attention, but a little later she expects to go to Del Monte for a stay, and probably after that will go to Los Angeles for a visit to some of her many friends there. Mrs. Martin went to the Hotel Rafael for a few days’ stay last week. She was accompanied by Miss Mar- erite Le Breton, who is here from aris and who will later be Mrs. Mar- tin's guest for a time. Mrs. Martin will also have as her guests Mr. and Mrs, Peter Martin, who are occupying the Poniatowski house at Burlingame, but who will come to town very shortly to remain. Mrs. Martin has words of greatest praise for her stun- ning daughter-in-law, who refused the invitations of her family and friends to go East immediately after the fire and has stayed here with her husband, whose affairs made his presence on this coast im‘pent:vely'neccssary commander in petticoats is sometimes disposed to be warlike in thel Mrs. Beverly MacMonagle, who has 4 ¥ £ way since the fire, will go about Sep- tember 1 to the Knickerbocker, on Fillmore street and Pacific avenue, and will spend the winter there. . * * * Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wilson have re- turned to town after a brief stay at the Hotel Rafael. * * * Miss Lalla Wenzelburger has re- turned from a fortnight's stay with Miss Lutie Collier at the Collier country place in Lake County, but will not remain_long in town. She will go over Friday to Ross to stay for a time with Miss Georgie Spieker, who doés much entertaining at her attractive home there. o SR ) Captain Guy Scott, United States army, and Mrs. Scott will arrive here shortly from Fort Casey, ‘Wash,, for a visit to Mrs. Scott’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. A, Voorhies. Captain Scott has been ordered to Washington, D, C. Ttis probable that Mrs. Scott will not go Kast with her husband, but will remain some time with her fam- ily. It is a articularly delightful change that Captain Scott’s orders bring, as his father, Senator Scott, lives in Washington, and he will be going dnrectl); to gig ol'd home. Mr. and Mrs. James H. Morton, who have been living in the Foute house on Gough street, are now at the Knickerbocker for the winter. RS S Mrs. C.

Official inquiry revealed at once the an anti- |absurdity of said reports and | prompted his Excellency David E. | Thompson, the honored -American Embassador at the Mexican capital, | to apprise his Government of their falsity and recommend their denial. The Government of Mexico in turn declared such reports not only Halse, but malicious as well, and liable to do some harm to the inter- ests of both Americans and Mexicans. Its Foreign Office is my authority for this statement. The progressive tendencies of the people and the sound policy of the Government, generally acknowledged to be one of the wisest of modern times, makes a disorder of the nature reported impossible in Mexico, where foreign industry and capital enjoy | today the highest appreciation of the people and the effective protection of its strong Government. % Should this letter appeal to your enlightened sense of public duty I | would be grateful for its publication |in your valuable columns.

CLARK'S osculatory per- formance with the six alleged widows remains the stellar feature of the current bill at the Orpheum. It is instructive to adolescence and interesting to grown- ups, and almost compensates for the defects in Mr. Clark’s single endeavor to entertain. Billy Van, Carter and Bluford and the Lucania acrobats wax in favoritism, and the Basque Quartet compels encores. For next Sunday is announced Edith Helena, a soprano with phe- nomenal vocal range; Frank Gardner and Lottie Vincent in a spectacular fantasy entitled “Winning a Queen”; The Six Proveanis, trick cyclists, and the Reiff brothers, singers and dancers. By the by, why doesn't Mr. Clark bill those said-to-be widows as “win- some” instead of :wlnnlng"? * - “Fiddle-Dee-Dee” is likely to hold the boards of the Davis Theater for many evenings to come. Since the opening of the piece it has been im- possible to purchase even standing room after courtain-rise, and there is no indication of any change from that remunerative \condition. And the only change in the perfommance thus far noted has been im the costumery of Miss Glosz. Her wardrobe must be as extensive as a relief station clothing depa:tmer:(. + * There are two characters in “The Black Flag,” running at the Central, that more than repay the moderate rice of admittance. The hero, played y Mr. Hnmphre(s. is such a perfect hero that one almost wonders why he does not sprout a nimbus, and the villain, portrayed by Mr. Brewer, is so wicked that the audience would hardly be surprised to see horns pro- trude from his head. To be sure, the an uncomfortable villain is part, for a virtuous actor to play, but what a satisfaction for a conscientious actor to know that the hisses and hoots he provokes are | really tributes' to the excellence of his_work. . “The New South” is announced for next week at the Central, with Will L PAGE aveotsmm, Men Who Will Guard State’s Forests Against Fire. [ v—— S authorized by law (Stat. 1903 235), the State Forester has ap- pointed the following fire war- dens, thus conferring upon them the powers of peace officers to make ar- rests without warrant, for violations of any State or Federal forest laws; to compel the assistance, In putting out fires, of any able-bodied citizen between the ages or 16 and 50 years, and to | grant or refuse burning permits, with- out which it issunlawful to burn brush, etc., during the dry season.

Zumwalt, Daunt, Since the law authorizing the ap= pointment of fire wardens makes no ap-~ propriation from which they can be paid, the majority of these men are either serving voluntarily or are pald by their employers. The remaindes are paid, for services actually rend- ered in preventing or extinguishing fires, by the county in which the fira occurs. This is the case in the fole lowing counties, of which the Super< visors have taken advantage of the amendment to the county government act (Stat. 1905, 394), which permits them to appropriate from the general fund of the county for the purpose: Log Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Bernare dino, Santa Cruz, San Dfego. The Supervisors of these countles have appropriated sums ranging from $500 to $1500 for fire protection and have either increased the salary of the game warden and made him chief fire warden, with emergency fire wardens, who are pald for services actually rendered, or have depended entirely on the latter. Either system Is good 0 long as there are men distributed throughout the county who are paid te prevent and éxtinguish fires, anq speaks well for the progressive spirit of the countles that have accepted this duty. The State Forester invites pro- posals from codnty governments, core porations and individuals for co-opera= tion under these laws. - Circulars containing the forest lawsg and fire warning notices for posting, will be mafled free to any’address on applications to G.
