who have to bear the expense.
A memorial to the Board of Supervisors
was drafted last night and signed by the
forty or more property-owners present.
The concluding paragraphs practically de-
clare that the expensive improvement is
not necessary nor IS 1t desired by those
most interested, and request is made to
the Board of Supervisors to file the inten-
tion of the proposed work and to let the
whole matter rest until such time as per-
sons owning majority of the lots fronting
on Ninth avenue shall petition to have the
subject acted upon
The following committee was appointed
by Chairman George r. Fletcher, presi-
dent of the Point Lobos Club, to wait upon
the Street Committee OF the Board of
Supervisors: The Rev. Father Coyle,
Thomas Farrell, E. f Dennison, Daniel
fenton, Edward McGingley, John For
William Crosby. The executive commit
tee OF the Point Lobos CLUB and as many
OF the other property-owners as possible
Will be present to add force to the express
sion OF sentiment.
J. q. Maloney, secretary of the Rich
mond improvement Club, was at the
meeting. Replying to the insinuations
that the Richmond Improvement Club
members had fathered the threatened
financial oppression of owners of Ninth
avenue property, he explained that 1T
was only for the good of the whole district
that last Octooer his club made the re-
quest TO the Board of Supervisors to have
Ninth avenue declared boulevard. This
was done because on First avenue there
were two dangerous railroad curves, one
on the Sutro electric line and one on the
Sacramento-street cable line; because Sec
ond, Third, Fourth and Fifth avenues were
intercepted by the Bay District raeetrack !;
because Sixth, Seventh and Eighth ave-
nues were already occupied by car tracks /;
and finally because Ninth avenue was the
only available unfranehised thoroughfare
to be permanently secured as driveway.

The Democratic Leader Talks about CO.
ercton by Corporations.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 19.-The following
appeal and warming, addressed to 1.-THE
American People," was given to the press
tonight by Chairman Jones on behalf of
the Democratic committee:
In view of the fact that great corporations,
with scarcely an exception, aud many of the
large employers of labor in the United States
are engaged in concerted effort to coerce
their employees into voting at the approaching
election against their own convictions, | deem
it my duty to call upon all those who believe
in the supremacy OF the law and the untram-
meled freedom of the individual in the right
of exercising the ballot. to use their utmost
effort 10 prevent this most fragrant act of law
lessness, for II this conspiracy succeeds, gov
ernmen by corporations Will have succeeded

Corporations have no powers-except those
conferred specifically in the laws creating
them. The right to coerce voters or 10 inter-
fere with American citizens in the exercise OF
their rights at the ballot box are not named in
any of these acts of Incorporation. and when
corporations attempt to exercise such powers
they become law breakers, and the good of
society demands that they be rebuked and
punished. During the present contest which
involves ques tions of the greatest moment to
the American people, men have been COM
PEELED bv fear of losing their places to join
clubs and march in professions in behalf of q
cause they detest.
Requests from corporation bosses to vote the
Republican ticket. which are perfectly under
stood 10 convey threat of discharge in case of
refusal, are made every day to men who dare
not resent the insult The corporations which
thus appeal to force and fraud strike at the
very foundation of Republican government
and the lives of free constituents.
The preparation of this outrage upon free
suffrage will work its own cure. An indignant
people, jealous OF their rights. will demand
that the Legislatures, State and National, shall
proceed at once by rigorous measures to pre-
vent the possibility of a repetition of such at
cess of the present conspiracy must be pre-
vented. The National Committee, backed by
the full power of the Democratic organization
in every State of the Union, pledges itself that
every scoundrel, whether public officer or pri-
vate citizen, who is detected in violation of
the law. shall be vigorously prosecuted and
sent to the penitentiary If possible.

GET BULLETS, NOT Cash
Six Footpads Attempt to Hold
Up the Wrong Men in
Chicago.
One of the Garroters Fatally Shot
and Three Others Captured
by the Police.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. ia bold at
tempt at robbery was made early this
morning and that it was unsuccessful was
due entirely to the fact that the man who
was selected for the victim refused to
occupy that position. In fact he so COM
pletely reversed the intended programme
that while he escaped uninjured himself
one Of the would-be robbers is in the
hospital and three others are in the City
Prison.
Last night the Polish Society gave a
dance. The attendance was large and the
treasurer, Michael Mahanuk, had $500 on
hand before the night was over. The
dance kept up until an early hour this
morning. Then Mahanuk gathered the
proceeds together and started for home,
accompanied by friend, George Maurow-
ski. The two men had gone but COM
paratively short distance when they were
surrounded by six men, who had been
concealed in the deep shadow at street
corner.
Tue order was at once given for the two
men to throw up their hands, and the
order was accompanied with a threat of
death if they did not at once comply.
Mahanuk, however, proved not to be
made of yielding material. When he
raised his hands one of them contained a
revolver, with which he opened fire on the
footpads. His first shot was effective. He
hit one of the robbers in the groin, and
with cry of pain the man fell to the
ground. The five other men were fright
ened by the reception they got, and fed
down the street. Mahanuk firing shot in
the air to hurry their flight.
The pistol shots attracted the attention
of the police in the neighborhood, and
they were on the scene quickly enough to
pursue the fleeing men. Three of them
were caught and lodged in Jail. The two
others succeeded in escaping.
The wounded man, William Spank, was
removed to a hospital. The doctors con.
slider his wound very serious, if not fatal.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Oct. 19.-Rev. Father
Nugent of Des Moines addressed an en-
thusiastic audience tonight in Central
Music Hall in denunciation of the gold
standard. The hall was crowded to its
standlng-room capacity, and police were
needed TO keep others from getting inside.
There was tedious delay of an hour and
a half before the priest entered the hall
with National Committeeman Gahan of
Illinois and others, and when the speaker
appeared on the stage to relieve those who
had filled in the time he was given a re-
ception which was wildly demonstrative.
Those who had come with the expectation
of hearing Father Nugent make critical
reply to Archbishop Ireland. as was re-
ported he would do, were disappointed, as
the priest did not once refer to his supe-
rior or that prelate's famous utterance.
Father Nugent said he had been in
duced to study the money question from
both sides by receiving letter from the
Mckinley and Hobart Club of Phila-
delphia, which stated that there were
''great moral questions in this campaign
which the clergy could not afford to over
look" He believed the club was right
and addressed the audience on the theo-
logical phase of those great moral prob
lens. He had been forced to the convic-
ton that the universal hard times were
caused by the demonetization of silver
and that prosperity to all would only come
with its reconciliation. Money was the
first thing and wages the last to consider
The confederated money powers were
playing with marked cards and they were

SacriiegSoms Criminals Carry off the
Cornerstone of the Edsfee.


Cornerstone of the EdSIiee.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 19.-New Jer.
sey burglars are getting pretty mean. The
town of Pearl River. just across the New
York line, is much exercised over the dis
covery that some enterprising but sacri-
iegious criminals have stolen the corner
stone of the Methodist church.
They did not steal the church, pre-
sumably because they did not want it, and
did not carry the stone very far; but they
pried it far enough out and away from the
building to carry away the tin box which
had been placed in 1t when the foundation
of the church was laid. The tin box con-
tained number of papers that were val
liable. The cornerstone was very large
and the thieves must have spent consid
erable time in getting it loose from the
mortar. A reward has been offered for
their arrest. The box also contained $5
gold piece. /. is thought that the hot
financial discussion of the pending cam
paign may have reminded some old cit
izen of the presence of the gold coin in
the cornerstone, but so far the crime has
not been laid to the door OF any particular
party.

HARRIEr MOSROk,s SUIT.
1t Reaches the Supreme Court With Ne,v
Complications.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct 19.-Miss
Harriet Monroe's suit for damages against
the New York World by reason of the
premature publication of her world $
Fair Ode" was brought to the attention of
the Supreme Court of the United States
to-day to dismiss or affirm the judgment
in the case. A judgment for 5000 was
given against the World, from which it
appealed to the Supreme Court last April.
In the brief of counsel. supporting the
motion, the rules of court permitting
counsel to ask for 10 per cent damages in
cases which are offered to the Supreme
Court, purely for delay, is discussed and
its applicability urged. Counsel SAYS:
"The conduct of plaintiff in error in
committing the piracy was arrogant and
cynical. It's conduct since the judgment,
especially in suing out this writ of error,
has been vexatious and oppressive. II
asks the court to sanction legal PROPOSE
tion which has never before been con-
tented by the bar, nor dreamed of by any
court in the land. 1t has delayed the de-
fendant in error, has superseded her iudg-
ment and execution, and subjected her 10
a large additional expense. These dam
ages will not reimburse Miss Monroe from
the damage which the wrongful issuance
of this writ has caused her,"
