THE SAN FRANCISCO CRISIS.
The Workingmen Aiming.
VIOLENT TALK IN THE WARD CLUBS.

SAN Francisco, Cal, Feb. 26.-The Ninth
Ward Club, W. P. G., last evening organized
military company % signing the roll Some
very hot speeches were made at a meeting of
ward presidents. Sheriff Desmond, elected by
the Worklngmen, signifed his intention to
support them In their movement. The ward
presidents recommended that their clubs hold
executive sessions to consider the pending
question, and pledging the entire party to sup
port the mayor and authorities in carrying out
the law. The Eleventh Ward Club, which
was the theatre of Kearney's extraordinary
oratorical effort met again last evening, but
with closed doors. Around police headGuar-
tiers everything is profoundly quiet and there
is no unusual force on duty.
A secret meeting of citizens to organize
vigilance committee was held last night
The following is the text of the resolutions
adopted by the workingmen's meeting We ster-
day:
Resolved, That we deprecate and denounce
any lawless attempt from any sources what
ever, and devote ourselves unhesitating1y and
unreservedly in favor of peaceful process as
the surest and speediest solution Of all our
difficulties.
Resolced, That while we disconntenance all
lawlessness, and warn our friends among the
worklngmen against it, yet we wish it under
stood, and give distinct and deliberate notice
that on preparation of any outrage upon any
OF our friends or leaders, or the employment Of
any police or other force to interfere with the
peaceful operation of law in the abatement of
the Chinese nuisance, or any accession to the
infamous demands of the craven Chinese Con-
sui, Mr. Bee, for foreign military interference.
we are ready to assert and maintain our rights.
avenge our friends, and visit upon the low,
designing minions of power, backed up though
they may be by cowardly contestants and
capitalists, punishment so swift and terrible
that the reader of history will shudder at the
record. We have kept peace; we intend to
keep peace; put we are not to be trifed with.
The law must be obeyed. The Chinese must
60. We know our rights, and, knowing, dare
maintain them.
There was no parade of the workingmen to-
day, and the meeting at the Sand Lots was
comparatively tame. The action of the mer
chants to inaugurate measures of relief seems
to have fallen through in consequence of the
incorporate and incendiary language of the
Worklngmen: 1t is. believed the report of
wellsfounded and that thorough organization
exists.

Murder Will Out.
Is,n Diego Newsl

Over two years ago, Mr.. A. L..
Feeler, o resident of Poway, was
killed near the top of the grade on
the POway road. He was driving a
wagon at the time, and when
found dead, his friends and. others
concluded that death resulted from
= fall from his wagon, perhaps
while his horses had become un.
ruly, and so Mr.. Feeler was COM
mitted to his native dust, and
there the matter seemed to end.
But some of bis friends did not be-
1ieve the old man was thus killed,
and q story to the contrary was
circulated, so that few days
since, Coroner Stackton, accom-
panied by Constable Cook proceed
ed to dIsinter Mr.. Feeler and see,
~ possible, whether there were q
reason for the story that he had
boen murdered. The little hole In
the poor mans neck, supposed to
have been made by some point of
the wagon. gear, was probed and a
bullet brought out! That settles
tbe nature Of the mans death,
whether anything else shall be
settled hereafter or not. Still, the
oss0 is being worked up, and any
lnfofmation In regard to 1t may be
len With the Coroner, or the prop
q officers, 80 the guilty may be
brought to Justice, II it can be
done.

A few evenings ago trunk be-
longing to Mr.. Burdick was taken
from his room in the rear part of
his shoe shop in the early part of
the evening. Mr.. Burdick, on re-
turning to his room, missed his
trunk, and then discovered his
back door open. After a search
with an officer the trunk was
found near the creek broken open,
but none Of the contents missing,
the money which Mr.. Burdick
usually kept there having been re-
moved by him on the day previ-
GUS. The money was evidently all
the thieves were after.
On Sunday night last, before the
hour of nine, the residence of Mr..
John McFarlane was entered dur
ing the temporary absence of the
family, and a robbery committed.
Mr.. Adam Vale, on going out to
take care of his horse, about nine
O'Clock, found some articles of
clothing near his hay, and an open
trunk. Securing light, and call
Ing to his assistance DR.. Brown
and Stewart Wall, further search
was made and letters addressed to
Mrs. McFarlane were found. Mrs.
McFarlane, who was at Mr..
Wallis, was notified and dis.
covered that the trunk had
been robbed of a valuable
gold watch and chain, silverware,
jewelry and money, valued at
$500. The burglar had entered the
house by rear window or doorS
rAneacked the bureau and other
trunks, and this one being locked,
had removed it aud broken it open.
Tho burglar was. tracked diagon-
ally across the lot adjoining Nc
Farlane's on the south, to the
street, where q little tin safe, be-
longing to one of he children, was
found cut open and the contents
gone. The tracks were followed
down the walk, to near the corner
Of Fifth street.
On Monday evening the little
building occupied as a shoe shop,
tailor shop, etc, just west of Craig's
gun shop, was entered from the
rear, during the absence of the oc-
cupants, early in the evening, and
= box containing about 500 in
money, aud about the same value
In other articles, was taken.
No arrests have yet been made in
any OF these cases, though there
are some suspicious, and, we I'M
derstand, some searches have been
made.

The Supreme Court has rendered
= decision in the habeas corpus of
All Toy, . Chinese vegetable ped
der In this city, who claimed ex.
emption from the city license on
oocouut Of conflict of the ordinance
With the provisions OF the Consti-
tuition. The Court says:
S We find that by the Act of April
I, 1915, (Stat. 1886, p. 1889 Their
Wae created and established in said
city = court to be known and
called the City Court of Los An
Gokee, with authority in the Com
MON Council to appoint Judge OF
the court; such court to have juris-
0iotlon of all offenses committed
A. said city against it's ordinances.
BY the Act of March 80, 1878,
(6tAt. 1877-8, p. 645,) the Mayor
and Council were authorized to
pxovfde by ordinance for the liz
consing, regulating, restraining,
supervising and prohibiting, or
either, or any or all hawkers, ped
dIera, ETC., In said city; to fix the
amount of license tax, and to en-
force the payment of the license
tax by fine and imprisonment or
either.
We are not advised by the petl-
tlen In this case, or by the com
plant upon which the warrant
Vas Issued, that the vegetables. for
the vending of which the petition
Ok was arrested, were the produc.
tlohs Of this State; but granting
such to be the case, we see no con-
6ice between the section of the Po-
lifiCal Code and the City Ordi-
nance. The Political Code is for
the State at large, and relates to
travelling peddlers; while the Ordi-
nance 10 authorized by the Legis-
1Ature, and Is q part of the local po-
1loe regulation of the city, and re-
1Ates to matters within the city.
Oar attention has not been called
g any general statute which in
tsrms or by implication pro-
hlbits the imposition of H.
oonse tax as police regulation.
In the absence of such prohibition,
We apprehend that city may pass
such ordinances as may be consist
out with its charter. The ordi-
nance in question is in harmony
With, though perhaps of different
application from, the Political
Code. There being no conflict, the
ordinance, in this respect, is not
affected by the new Constitution.
The petitioner is remanded to
custody and the writ dismissed.
The decision was written hy Jus.
tice Myrick and concurred in by
Justices McKinstry, Sharpsteln,
Ross and Thornton.
