broad-shouldered, deep-chested and
erect. He was the democratic candi-

but was defeated with the rest of the
ticket. Later, in the same year, he

full, and he has served in congress
seven terms in succession. He is a ma

The Case Against the Colorado Mid

Harmony of a Meeting.

The troubles of the local passenger as
ISOLATION with alleged vjolators of the
agreement d % not seem TO have ended. A
week or more ago Mr.. Myer, the LEGAL
agent Of the Colorado Midland. was fined
S125 for certain sales of tickets which
were determined by the association as
sufficient ground for the enforcement of a
penalty, but Mr.. Myer, instead of deposit
ing the cash with alacrity. showed dispo-
sition to fight. According to the laws Of
that body a member who is fined Is ac-
corded the right of appeal to three arbi-
traitors, the accused and accuser to choose
che each, and those two to select the
third. The two arbitrators were chosen
over a week ago, but then an unforeseen
difficulty was encountered-it was found
impossible to secure third man who was
suitable to both parties, although about
every man in the city who is able to read
aud write was under consideration for the
position.
Members of the association say that Mr..
Myer was responsible for the failure to
fill the committee of arbitration, and that
he pursued an obstructive course in order
that tie case might drag along for months
and ultima tely die of In aDition.
Mr.. Myer. on the other hand, declares
InaL the course he has lOHOWbu WAS Tile
only one open to him il he properly cared
for his Legitimate rights.
However, the association met yesterday
and took the question up for considera-
ton. 1t was argued that. as it was evil
IDENTIFY impossible to secure committee to
arbitrate the matter, 1t should be taken
up by the committee as q body, and that
course was pursued.
AS q consequence the ass ociation passed
upon its former action. sustaining the i'm
position of the fine and directing that q
check should be drawn for the amount
against the sum $500 deposited in trust
by the defendant when he became men,
Der, and that the auditing committee
should sign the same.
More trouble ensued when one Of the
auditing committee refused to sign the
check, but the association got around this
difficulty by passing resolution that the
bank officials having charge of the associa-
tons funds should be authorized to accept
checks signed by TWO members Of the COM
mittee.
An appeal to the courts Is now threat
ened, and it looks as though the already
murky atmosphere which surrounds the

this: II you can't pull Republican poll
tician's leg you can't get on the Guard"
This settles the hope that many of the
National Guardsmen had of being ap-
pointed to do police duty at the fair
grounds.
That no one can obtain an appointment
unless it meets with the approval of the
Drector-General is borne out by what was
written by Colonel Shafter in reply to a
Letter written him by an officer high in the
National Guard. What the colonel wrote
within ten days was:
=" 1 have to say that do not expect to
have anything to do with selecting candidates
for the Midwinter Fair guard, but take such
material as is sent me, rejecting upon examlna-
ton or after trial men found TO be unsuted for
the duties required Of them.
During the early part Of December, when
the subject of organizing the Midwin ter
Fair Guard was mooted, Brga der General
Dickinson, on behalf of the National
Guard and Naval Res erve, addressed a
letter to the Executive Committee of the
Midwinter Fair Exposition, calling atten-
ton TO the fact that the members of these
organizations were citizens of San Fran
cisco and of the State, and they devoted a
great deal of time and money to the public
service without recOmpense; that many of
them were out of employment and would
be glad to do guard duty at the fair.
In urging the claims of the men for the
positions sought the Brigadier-G General sug-
gested that the men were well drilled
used to discipline and could serve in uni
forms which they had, and that il they
were appointed the work required of them
would be performed in a manner satisfac-
tory to the committee and the public and
with a minimum Of responsibility upon
the committee.
The Director General, in a reply to this
communication, announced that while
he agreed with the writer that the
military would be the proper persons
TO be the guards he could not at that time
give definite information in regard to the
matter, but that after the appoin tnent of
q high military officer to be chief of the
department the question of rank and file
would be discussed and that without
of the department would have great weight
gith the Executive Committee.
This was the last information the officers
of the National Guard had on the subject
from the Executive Committee or the Di-
Tector-G General
