BUCKLEY TO Be OPPOSED,
A Meeting of Members of the
Gen eraI Com mittee Last
Night.
FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
The Iroquois Clubs Committee
Favors Petition for an
Election.

Chris Buckley's attempt to capture the
general committee OF the local Democracy
is not going to be unchalienged. A meet
ing of those members of the general COM
mittee known to be opposed to his
methods was called for last evening at the
Occidental Club. There were sixty-seven
members present at the meeting, which
lasted until late hour. Among those
present were: James Denman, Gavin Nc
Nab, A. A. Watkins, Senator Armes,
Major Harvey. E. .. E. Troy, Samuel
Braunbart, Edward Lanigan, Charles Gill
dea, Thomas Chandlon, Frank Hughes,
Thomas Doyle, James Fenton, Jack
Welsh, II. B. McAvoy, Joseph J. O'Don-
nell, T. G.. Fitzpatrick, John O'Hav, DR..
Raglan, DR.. w. J. Gavigan, Joseph Gala
CHER, Thomas Gallagher NJ. G. Hassett,
Timothy Donovan, George B. Godfrey,
William Harrison, T. ]. Quinlan, August
Tillman, L. v Merle, Edward Reynolds
and Barney Boylan.
Every district in the City was repre-
sented and there was developed consider
able enthusiasm when the leaders claimed
that large majority of the members of
the general committee could be counted
1t was determined that they would not
oppose Buckley in his effort to call the
general committee together, but would
gladly welcome a fight. 1t was deter
mined to give him warm reception. Sew
eral members of the Deuprey committee
were present ana promised their hearty
support.
held the main fight, and the one which
will determine whether the Buckley or
anti-Buckley people shall rule will be over
the Craftsmanship, which was made vacant
by the resignation of Max Pepper and has
never been filed since Buckley will put
forward for this position either John Jay
Flynn or James II. O'Brien. The mem
bers of last nights meeting will probably
put up A. A. Watkins.
The committee on resolutions of the
Iroquois Club held an important meeting
in the rooms of Max Pepper in the Bald
win Hotel last night. One of the matters
referred to the committee was the cues
ton of indorsing a petition to the Mayor
and Board OF Supervisors asking that they
call a special election for the purpose of
submitting to the voters the question Of
municipal ownership of water works and to
incur such Indebtedness as may be found
necessary to provide the City with an ade-
quate water supply OF its own.
1t was decided by the committee to rec
ommend that the Iroquois Club indorse
the petition and give it earnest support
The question of accepting the committees
recommendation will come up at the meet
ing of the club this evening.
1t was decided, also, to recommend the
adoption of the resolutions introduced at
the last meeting of the club, 'disapprov-
ing the action taken by Supervisors P.
Scully, Alphonse Hirsch and E. G. Wagner
in voting for a levy so far beyond and
above their pledge" and resolving that it
is recognized as a base betrayal OF a party
and gross violation of party pledge
freely taken.

IT BLEW HOT AND COOL.
San Francisco Was the Hottest Place in
California Until the Sea Won
Late in the Day.

San Francisco has made a rather phe-
nomenal September temperature record
during the past few days. At P. NJ. on
Wednesday the official thermometer on
top of the Mills building registered S71a
deg, and down on the sunny sides of
streets it was hotter yet. Yesterday the
temperature got up to SO deg.
1t was peculiar fact that San Francisco
and other coast points were hotter than
the interior of the State yesterday and the
day before by several degrees. The coast
hot spell began on Saturday and grew in
intensity until yesterday afternoon, when
a cooling sea breeze began to come in. Mr..
Harmon. the weather man, says that the
sea breeze will be pretty strong to-day, and
that the warm spell is ended. Tonight
may even be disagreeably cool.
The philosophy of the warm spell Is the
philosophy of all the warm, peaceful fall
weather that bleSses San Francisco with
its perfect beauty when the harsh summer
winds cease. The summer winds, that
hurl the dust through the streets, bring IN
evening fogs and chill the evening pleas
ure-s seeker at times, are sea bIeeZes, pure
and simple, caused by the heating OF the
interior. Along in September the interior
cools off, and the sea air is not drawn in
so constantly or so forcibly. There is
meteorological peace on the coast, and the
genial sunshine has sway. These summer
winds have been lessening for three weeks,
and now they have practically departed.
Now comes the time when everybody says,
"What beautiful day."
The recent heat was due to the cause
described, and to something more. Last
Saturday cold wave struck Idaho and
Nevada, and an area of high pressure
rested there also. This thigh" sent the
wind out from it in all directions, and, as
the wind came westward, it gently flowed
Oh out to sea, and brought all the hot air
heat was interior heat forced on the City
from the east, and yesterday San Fran
cisco was hotter than the San Joaquin
Valley. When the balance turned the
change was sudden, and Thousands shifted

FOR MUSICAL ADVANCEMENT,
A Concert to Create Free Scholar
ship Fund.

An encouraging account of the Musical
Advancement Society was given yester-
day by the general manager, Mrs. NJ
Mann. The occasion was the third con-
cert given for the benefit of the free
scholarship fund at the Y. NJ. C. A.
Auditorium. Mrs. Mann saii
Thus far the society has been success finan-
cially, and we have given the lessons as prom
ised. You Will remember that in December
the examinations take place, and all the
students who win scholarships are entitled TO
four years lessons gratis. l have been urged
to call upon the Government, and some people
have said: "Why don't you appeal to the rich
peopleW | have answered, however, that this
is free American institution and people can
give or not, as they please.
We have had nearly 400 students sign the
roll before December, as they will not be
examined before May and their money can pay
for the December scholarship.
All present in the audience were asked
to bring in one pupil, and it was stated
that all a pupil had to do was to sell two
tickets for each concert. The speaker con-
cluded by urging her hearers to investigate
for themselves and see that the society
was doing good work.
An interesting musical programme was
rendered, in which the performers were:
Miss M. Crittenden, Miss c. Began, Miss
M. Pratt, Miss B. Savannah, Miss Blanche
Clinton. R. Smith, NJ. McCurrie, Frank
Kelly, S. Savannah and A. A. Solomon.

always bought goods mainly of each other,
but now, when one of the strongest COM
panies, which is mainly composed OF mer.
chants, is being boycotted, new state OF
affairs has arisen. Severe penalties are in
ficted on those who forget their allegiance
to their own organization sufficiently to
trade with the rival Yups.
The fine is $1,000, and the consequence is
an entire suspension of trade between the
two.
This could not be allowed to go on very
long. however, for the See Yups had goods
which the Sam Yups must have, and vice
versa. A shrewd Sam Yup man hit on
plan that brought him the commodities he
desired and also exempted him from the
penalty for having dealings with a See
Yup. He went to a downtown commission
merchant and placed an order for $1,000
worth Of goods, at the same time dropping
q gentle hint that a certain store on Sac
ramento street carried the line he wanted.
The commission man got commission
from the seller also, and hopes that the
boycott will remain on indefinitely, which
it has every appearance of doing, both sides
having settled down to await overtures for
peace.

There's great big legal cloud hanging
over the new offices OF milk inspector,
bacteriologist and messenger for the Quar-
antine Officer. The Board of Health sew
eral times asked permission of the Board
of Supervisors to name such officers, in
order to get the pay for them. The Board
of Supervisors fatty refused to recognize
any such appointments, on account of the
shortage of the public funds. 1t now re-
mains to be seen whether the new ap-
pointees will be able to get their warrants
cashed. If they do, the Board OF Health
has number OF inspectors it would like
to appoint.
Yesterday DR.. Williamson of the San
Francisco Board of Health said that the

tic. The appointment will be officially
declared at the meeting of the Board of
Health to-day.

Naval Academy In 1882 and served two
years in the United States navy. Then he
resigned and began the study of medicine.
He graduated at the Cooper Medical Col
lege of this City in 1888. After he gradu-
ated he went abroad and studied year in
Germany. Shortly after his return to San
Francisco he was appointed resident ply

that position for two years. Since that

The Company,s Answer.

The attorneys for the Southern Pacific Com
pany have filed an answer to the suit of George
P. Thresher and Florence E. Thresher for $780,
900 damages. The company admits every
thing in the complaint except the assertion
that George p. Thresher and Florence Z.
Thresher were elected from the train of the de-
fendant. 1t alleges that the parties put off
were not what they claimed to be, but were
travelling under the name of Thresher and on
tickets issued to parties of that name, which
they had no right to do. The company alleges
that under the circumstances its employees had
q right TO eject the plaintiffs in the action.

Has a Wonderful MemOl

George w. McMillion of Friar's Hill,
w. Va, is about 40 years old and has
the gift of remembrance wonderfully
developed. He can, off-hand, recite the
names, birthdays, hour of death, ma
jorities and the closest details of the
lives of all the Presidents in regular
order; can name all the horses in his
neighborhood; can recite poems of
5000 words without missing word
recount the details of every visit he
has made in his life; can name all the
people he has met in two weeks, and
every word every one of them ever
said; can quote chapter after chapter
of the Bible, and has a like penchant
for repeating history. He is hardly
human in many respects, sleeping in
the woods, and often going for weeks
without washing his face. One of his
most interesting feats is the repetition
of every word of marriage ceremony
which he heard when he was Fl, and
which united girl who was his sweet
heart to another man. 1t is said that
this ceremony was the first thing he
ever tried to remember. Since then
he has given no attention to his per-
sonal appearance and cares for moth
ing but reading and remembering
things.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Empress Frederick.

The eldest child of the queen, Victo-
ria Adelaide, Princes Royal of Eng
land, and widow of Frederick the No
BILE, Emperor of Germany, was born
in November, 1910, and is therefore IS
years of age this year. When her hus-
band was youth of "a he assembled the
hills of Balmoral with her, and pluck
ing a pice of white heather, the en-
blem of good luck, he offered her the
throne of Prussia, and, though then
they knew it not, the imperial crown Of
Germany. An informal engagement
was entered upon. The marriage fol-
lowed two years later. Empress Fred
erick is an ADLER woman than her
mother or any of her sisters. Bismarck
and a bigoted Prussian following could
not crush this gifted iron-willed little
woman, whose husband worshiped
her and believed her to be his guiding
star in all things.

THE SILVER BOAT.

The room was hushed, and the moonlight fell
In broken bands on the garnet floor;
So cold and damp-the shadow of death
Had fallen three hours before.
Oh! she was child of his old age,
And she lay In his arms a-dying;
The night-wind crept up the narrow stair,
But fed through the window signing.
Her yellow hair fell in sheaves of gold,
Her breathing was hurried and low,
Her mother had died night like this
just seven long years ago.
Day by day, with terrible love,
A love that was unavailing,
He had watched the light in her blue eyes,
Steadily, hopelessly paling.
'Spare her, good LORD, for she must not die %
His words were distracted and wild;
God help him now--for the old mans life
Is bound up in the life of the child.
Father" she cried, with a sudden strength,
"Look, oh look at it, sailing there
The good Lord hath sent His silver boat
He has heard and answered my prayer.
The old mans eyes were blinded with tears,
AS they followed hers to the sky,
And he only saw the crescent moon
In storm of clouds drift by.
But light not born of earth or sky
Shone now in the eyes OF the maiden;
''It comes, dear father, it cOmesW she cried,
For the weary and heavy-laden.
81 shall sail on through the brilliant stars,
To Gods beautiful home on high,
And He will send it again for you
In little while. Good byn'
The moonlight strayed from the garnet floor,
The crescent moon sailed out of sight;
But the old man knew that his wife and child
Had met in Gods home that night

POOLING A THEATER AUDIENCE
Box Party Has Fun with One of Their
Party at the Play.

A Box Party Has Fun with One of Their
Party at the Play.
An audience at Chicago theater
had an April fool joke played on them
in advance of the day in way that it
will despise when it reads this. There
was party of young men in a box.
They are up-to-date young men and
successful plungers. The play had run
along to the second act in which an
comes on the stage. This scene al
ways fetches the house. AS the ap-
plause over this was settling down sew
eral of the box party enthusiastically
grasped the right hand of one of the
party because-well, because they were
feeling serene and thought it was a
good joke. The audience caught on"
and renewed its applause. Then the
cry for a speech went up, and as it was
repeated the box party again grasped
the hand of the young man and the cry
of Speech, speech" coupled with the
name of the playwright, was repeated,
the audience supposing the young man
in the box to be the playwright. He
got up and bowed, and this only caused
the audience to cry again for speech.
Then the drop curtain was pulled aside
and the man whose business it is to
make apologies to the audience came
out and announced that the author of
the play was not in the city. In fact,
he was in New York. The audience
looked blank, and seemed content for
awhile, although it divided its atten-
ton between the stage and the box.
After the play, as the audience was
putting on it's wraps in the foyer, the
box party came out and one of the
party mischieviously called the young
man whose hand had ben so vigorous
ly grasped by the name of the play
wright, and as many of the audience as
heard it said in one way and another,
THAT is the author of the play, and
the man who said he was in New York
lied" And then they looked as if they
had been victimized.

A negro passing under scaffolding
where some repairs were going on, a
brick fell from above on his head, and
