The Buckley General Committee
Enrolls Him, Anyway, at
It's Last Meeting.
ALL READY FOR THE PRIMARY
The Fateful Buckley, Junta Election
Contest Tonight in the 1ro.
quois Club.

The regular Democratic Central Com
mittee, as it exists since Mr.. Watkins tried
to adjourn it and since Chris Buckley got
hold of a majority in it, held its last meet
ing in B mai B 'rith Hall last night.
This is the committee, with some vacan-
cies and minus the uncertain number still
in the camp of the Junta revolters, that
was elected under the Sullivan-Dwyer re-
organization i'll 1892, and which has been
the local Democratic machine ever since.
The new general committee will be elected
at the primary to be held January II, and
there will be no occasion for the old COM
mittee to meet again.

the music of the steam-organ completely
Never before had the merry-go- round
endured such strain. 1t bore up nobly
till nearly o'clock. Then it gave way.
and on examination showed that the cir
cular iron track on which the wheels run
was so badly broken that it would take
three days at least TO repair it.
The first lunch was served shortly after
noon. The two big rooms of the pavilion
had been fitted to accommodate 400 peo-
pie. The lunch counter in the basement
had been arranged for 100 more. Mr.. Muir
ply distributed 500 lunch tickets first
1t seemed as if the holder of each ticket
wanted to get into the dining room first
When the doors opened there was such a
crush that 1t became next to impossible to
take up tickets, and many slipped IN with
out surrendering their precious paste
boards. In this way some came again and
again.
One little girl proudly told a waitress
that she had had seven lunches She was
not to be blamed, for the lunches looked
very tempting, and it was intended that all
should have all they wished
AT each plate was a sandwich, big ap-
pie, half-pound box of candy, two cook
les, glass of milk and stick of canded
popcorn These were neat and clean and
arranged in an appetiZing way that was
considered.
To satisfy the youthful but keen ap-
petites Mr.. Murphy had sixty three-gal-
Ion cans of milk, 5000 sticks of popcorn,
sixty two boxes of apples, the sandwiches
made from $50 loaves OF bread, and $500
half-pound boxes Of candy.
This was not enough, though. The
milk and candy gave out about 3 o'clock
and more had to be ordered
81 want you to say that this is the best
behaved crowd of school children we have
ever handled" said Mrs. Murphy. "They
were all well behaved, and there was al
most no rowdyism. If it hadn't been for
some Of the mothers there would be abso-
Iutely nothing in the behavior of the
merrymakers to complain Of"
There was perfect order on the grounds,
for which Captain Thompson and his
police deserve the credit. few fearful
youngsters lost their parents, but all found
them again. The little girls were gwen
the preference at the donkey and goat
stands. The little boys saw the reason for
this and generally Withdrew.
There were no rows. The nearest ap-
proach to one was, when, late in the after
noon, an attempt was made by the police
men at the lunchrooms to distribute some
sandwiches that had been lett over

took to Hongkong, calling at intermediate
points. The steamers have something
over 200, 600 gross tonnage.
Many steamers OF this line were taken by
Japan in the war with China and pressed
on land these steamers. hastily armored
and equipped with guns and other NUM-
tions, were engaged in connection with
cruisers and battle-ships in bon harding
various ports.
Mr.. Macmillan saws his company is grad
ually getting these steamers back now, and
IN few months more probably all will be
returned. According to the charter Japan
could, during war, take these steamers at
any time, and she therefore availed her.
self OF the privilege.
"Everything has now pretty well settled
down in the Orient" said Mr.. Macmillan,
land | anticipate no more trouble. So
far as war is concerned between Russia
and Japan | think it in the highest degree
improbable
THE last trouble of war chara cter has
ended with Formosa, which at last has
been brought into pretty fair state of
subsection. The treaty ceding Formosa,
you know, was signed in May, but the
followers of the Black Flag in Formosa
would not give in, SO Japan had TO send a
lot OF troops there.
'"rhese latter days of the campaign re-
veal that many of them have died. The
climate of part of Formosa is very bad.
1t is hot and feverish. The natives them
selves could stand it, but the japanese
troops, unacclimated as they were, lied
rapidly. They continued to die TIL the
losses were very heavy.
besides this, the Black Flag followers
were hard to subdue. They fought wick
edly and in any and every conceivable way
to win.
"Of course, when the japanese could get
at them in the open they soon mastered
them, but it was not always they could
thus be brought into combat. They pre-
ferred to stay behind trees and rocks and
lead the soldiers into am buscades.
However, now substantial peace has
been reached, and | think there will be no
more trouble
''As 10 the Nippon Yusen Company, all
the stock is held by japanese. They
would not permit foreigner to own any
thing in it. In reference to myself, l am
going to England on pleasure trip"
Several Japanese are with Mr. Mac
milan, among them one who is manager
OF one of the branch steamship lines. Mr..
Macmillan says business is frightening in
Japan and in the Orient generally. He
will leave for New York and London
to-day.

Thousands of Young Ones
Thronged the City's Great
Playground.
NOISY AND HAPPY GATHERING
They Rode the Donkeys, Drove the
Goats and Ate Vast Quantities
of Luncheon.

Golden Gate Park belonged to the chill
dren yesterday.
They took possession early, and it was
not till after shutdown that they left. They
had ridden the donkeys and the goats
till closing time. They had patronized
the merry-go-round till they broke it
down. And they had eaten everything in
sight till the bountiful supply of pro-
visions was exhausted.
Then they started for home. They were
tired, but they were happy, ana their
faces showed that thev all echoed the
sentiments of one chubby faxen-haired
little cherub who snuggled in her mother S
lap on a homeward- bound car and muir
mured:
"Oh, mamma, Use had a boohe time!
want to go again tomorrow"
Everything conspired to add to the
childrens comfort. Not since the play
ground was Instituted has there been a
Christmas day so balmy. The warm sun
shine tempted many to go out who would
not have gone for any other reason. They
went for exercise. They stayed for fun.
And all were amply repaid for the visit.
The management of the festival was in
the hands OF George f. Murphy, who leases
the privileges OF the playground. He had
left nothing undone that might add to the
pleasure of the little ones"
Special tickets were printed for the &C.
Casion. There were 5000 donkey-ride tick
cts and 10000 merry 90 round tickets.
These were given'out from the little ticket
Office and had to be circulated again and
again, as there were at least 10000 chill
dren, each of whom was eager to get all
the fun possible out of the holidays.
Tickets were not required for the swings
and they were going all the time. The ca
pacity of each swing, from the children's
standpoint, was evidently about ten.
There was Punch and Judy show. The
park band was also on hand.
Out on the baseball grounds was a babel
that gave an unfailing indication of the
good time several hundred boys were hav-
ing. A football game, three games of base
ball and game of two-Old-cat were going
on at the same time. Every boyish player
seemed TO be yelling at the top OF his
lungs.
The merry go-round was the great center
OF attraction. Two policemen took tickets
at the gate. They had hard task.
When the machines tarted the merry-go-
round was sight.
Each morse carried from three to six
passengers. The swings were all in mo-
ton and the entire ride was made to an

The State Development Company is
branching cut and it is intended that its
influence for the good of the State shall be
felt in the near future. The object is to
increase the population by bringing to
this State large numbers of families who

California products so that there will be a
great demand for the same all over the

To do this it was recently decided to in

ALLEN ASKED PROTECTION
The Lie Passed in Justice of
the Peace Kerrigan's
Court.
Louis Heilberg Objects Strongly to
Statements Made in an
Argument.

An exciting scene took place in Justice
kerrigan's court Yesterday in which the
bench, bar and a witness participated.
The case of Mrs. Agnes Tramplersine
VS.. Louis Heilberg, in which the fair PLAIN
tiff asks for 1926 damages for being run
down by the defendants wagon while out
riding on her bicycle, was on trial.
w. W. Allen represented the plaintiff.
and in his argument said that Heilberg
had perjared himself while on the stand.
The defendants attorney objected to such
statement. but his protestations availed
him nothing, and the food of denuncia-
ton went on. When the case had been
fully presented the court gave verdict for
the defendant, who, in exuberance of
spirits over his victory, called ATTORNEY
Allen a liar

said Mr.. Allen; perhaps you would not
dare to say that outside
II am going outside now" answered
Heilberg, land | repeat that You lied when
you said perjured myself on the stand. ~
To make his word good Heilberg started
| for the door. The attorney did not see fit
to follow him, but instead called upon the
court for protection from such language.
He asked that Heilberg be called back and
punished for contempt
Ibid you call this man liar?" said the
court, when the erstwhile defendant had
been brought back by his attorney.
Heilberg said something which might
have been either assent or denial, but
Allen was not satisfied and asked that he
might be made 10 answer under oath. On
being sworn Heilberg denied having used
the epithet, though the attorney strongly
urged that he had, and the Justice took
the matter under advisement, not having
heard the words used.
Heilberg departed with relieved look
on his face, while the attorney fingered to
talk to his client before leaving for his
Office.

Always a Bully.

Despite all her boosted civilization and
enlightenment England is as barbarous as
Persia was in its worst days. She has al
ways been bully among weak nations, as
she was with Nicaragua recently and as
she is with Venezuela now. She respects
nothing but force. A Yorktown was
needed to teach her to pay some regard to
the rights of her supposed-to- be-fee bic
American colonists in the latter part OF the
last century. When she forgot that lesson
a New Orleans early in the present century
renewed it. If she imagines the United
States is feeble on the water now she will
put herself in the way of learning this les
son over against Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
