EMBLEM OF SOCIALIST NJ
G. B. Benham Explains the True
Meaning OF the Red
Banner.
Says That 1t Stands for Al That Is
Good and Against All That
Is Bad.

The socialist movement in this City and
vicinity is becoming more enlivened every
week. The meetings are more largely at
tended than ever before, and as may be
expected many new faces are observed at
the weekly gatherings and propaganda
meetings. With some it is a desire for
knowledge upon economic matters; with
others it is curiosity to see what the So
cialists do and hear what they say. 1t is
rarely the case that the first visit fails to
lead TO the second and the third and so on
until regular attendance results.
This has been the experience of the
American branch of the San Francisco
section. At first the members of the party
met in small halls and held meetings on
the street corners. Increasing member
ship made larger halls necessary, and
when the plan of holding Sunday-night
lectures was decided upon the branch
moved into one of the large halls in Pyth-
ian Castle.
For several weeks past even this apart
ment, which holds over 300 has not been
large enough 10 accommodate all who de-
sired to be present, and many have been
turned away, tor there was not even
standing room.
Last week the branch decided to secure
a still larger hall, which was done, and
during the remainder OF the year, begin
ming in February, the lectures will be
held in Washington Hall on Eddy street
The socialists are about to make another
movement in the line of progress, and be-
fore long they will publish socialist
newspaper. w. W. Wilkins will be the
editor. This gentleman is well known all
over the United States, may be not as
a socialist, but certainly as a Populist.
He it was who was the author of the
Omaha platform of that party.
Later he got out OF the PopuIist traces
and became known as The leader of the
middle-of-the-road element. His next
NOV ment was as the organizer of labor
exchanges, and in this line of work he is
known all over this coast. While always
a socialist in principles, 1t was not until
recently that he came out as a full and
pronounced socialist, and the party be-
ieves that he will represent it in the new
paper 1t will start-as q monthly, but as
soon as possible it will become a weekly
paper.
A new section, to be known as Section
Berkeley, was formed yesterday noon
almost in the very shadow OF the State
University across the bay. Messrs. Hecht,
Benham and Wilkins went to Berkeley
yesterday in response to call from a
number of liberal-mlnded people of that
place, and in surprisingly short space OF
time the new section was formed and the

Stabbed Eirht Times.

Petrlona Quinones, servant working in the
clearinghouse at 1008 Van Ness avenue was
taken to the Receiving Hospital last evening
suffering from eight wounds inflicted by a
small knife. Soon after Herman Cohn, press
man working for Francis, Valentine & Co.,
gave himself up at the Central station and ad-
mitted having stabbed the woman. de was
very drunk and would make no more definite
statement The woman said she had been
keeping company with Cohn's brother, and
last evening Cohn came to her room ana
knocked. When she opened the door he COM
menced to slash at her with knife and he
cut her eight times and made his escape. The
wounds are not serious.

In addition to these surprising per-
formances in speed and agility Conroy is
an oarsman, boxer and wrestler.
He is young, bright, fearless, withal
quiet and unassumlng. And this Is the
man that the Australian police chose to
assist in capturing and returning to Aus
tralia desperate criminal of considerable
physical power.
He had been in the Police Department
but one day when he was detailed to help
in the search for Butler. He joined the
Melbourne, New South Wales, police on
November %, 1896. Before that he had
ALWAYS been an athlete by profession. The
next day he was called out and put on this
murder case, the first and only detective
work he has done.
But he is the only man here that actu-
alIv knows and is known to Butler, and
upon his recognition the United States
Marshals that are to make the arrest will
be sure of their man.
From Novem Der "a to December IL Con-
roy was busy investi ating the case in
SYDNEY. New South Wales, with Detective
Roach. On the latter date he sailed
from Sydney with Detective McHattie
in the steamship Miowera for Vic
toria, y. c., in pursuiJ of the murderer,
whom they had finally traced to the
Swanhilda, which had already sailed for
San Francis from Newcastle, the home
OF Detective McHatt;e.
Conroy's first appearance as an athlete
was in boys race for tin of sweet
biscuits. He won the prize and at once
sold it for cash. On the same dav he also
won the boys high jump and the pole
vault. That was when he was 10 years Of
age.
The next season, when only II years OF
age, he began competing in professional
events with men and won the runnin g
hi Jump with leap Of feet inches, a
performance that fully developed college
athletes on this coast consider unusually
good, particularly when it is RENE NJ bered
that the Pacific Coast amateur record was
very little better than that until the last
few years. That same year he also tied
for first place in the pole vault by clearing
feet inches in competition with old
professionals. From that time on he de-
veloped steadily year by year as his size
and strength increased.
When 10 years of age he cleared feet
| 81 inches in the running high jump,
which is his star performance. He has
| competed 242 times in this one event and
has never been beaten from the scratch.

One of the two Australian detectives
sent here to capture Butler, the atrocious
murderer who aped on the ship Swan
hilda, is an athlete of most unusual abil-
itv.
His name is Michael Arthur Conroy.
He is a native OF Springfield, Victoria,
Australia, and is 26 years of age. He is
5 feet 10 inches in heig t. gracefully built
and weighs 1S9 pounds in meager athletic
garb.
For sixteen years. or. ever since he was
a mere boy of ten, ne has been a pro-
fessional athlete, competing wherever
there were professional events in different
parts of Australia, New Zealand and Tas-
mania.
Like many other men in Australia,
where professional athletic sports attract
more attention than anywhere else in the
world, he has constantly followed the
circuit of meets and games for a living.
He has been in hundreds of compe titions
and has won thousands of pounds ster-
ling. or many thousands of dollars.
Here are some of his best records, all
made in competition and attested by Of
ficiaIs at the different big professional
meets in which they were made:
