The Spaniards assert that they had no

Citizens Take the Matter Into
Their Own Hands.
Buck" Schwartz and Their Gang of Sau-
saIito BIackIegs Get Chilled Feet and
Do Not Attend the Meeting.

The citizens OF Colma, the solid
ers Of the hundred ranches along the
country side, turned out en- masse last
night, and from the hands of the Buck
ley Schwartz combination and It's fol-
lowing of thugs wrested the welfare
and the future OF their village. That
meeting, which was to have been the
crowning triumph Of the touts. was
suddenly and startlingly turned into
the strongest OF rebukes, and instead
Of discussing incorporation and pool
rooms, the hundred and odd solid tax
payers present turned TO the improve
ment Of their roads and TO other things
that would bring greater value 70 their
holdings.
There has been a mighty opening Of
eyes in CoIma since The Call first
sounded the alarm. The cold facts that
were presented in the opening expose
accounted for the sudden and warm in
terest Martin Kelly and others OF his
ilk were showing in the little san
Mateo burg, and subsequent revelations
served merely as proof Of the aIlega-
tions that the one scheme Of the asso-
ciated gamblers was TO turn the town
into one Of the rankest OF gambling
heIls Last nights meeting was the re-
suit OF it. Early in the day the gang
got wind of the fact that things in
Colma had stopped running in the
channel il had dug, and Bob Thornton
was the sole representative who had
the nerve TO come out last night. Not
another of the touts who lost their Jobs
when IngIeside was driven from the
city could get his feet sufficiently
warmed up TO make the trip, and
Thornton's temperature dropped into
his boots before the meeting was half
over.
AS on previous occasions, Henry
Ward Brown occupied the chair. In
his opening statement he said nothing
at all Of Incorporation; on the con-
trary he said the object for which the
meeting had been called was the dis
cussion Of whether 1t were better TO
widen the county road or to expend the
road fund in putting through San Bruno
avenue, a matter of no interest what
ever to Mr. Buckley and his kind. He
invited Mr. Thornton TO speak TO the
question. Mr. Thornton spoke.
He began MS speech with bright

spring morning IN 1852, when he first
foated in and settled down on the pres
ent site of Col1na, and after dragging it
over every road in the county butted
into the next century on that black
day when Colma would wake up TO the
fact that she had no sewer system
and no water of her own. and no aims
house and ALL" said Mr.. Thornton,
because she never incorporated and
all the other districts in the county had
spent her money on their own roads"
Hold on there" interrupted Jim Cal
lanan, who owns and pays taxes on a
lucrative hog ranch, how much do
these poolroom people pay you to come
in here and talk Incorporation"
Mr.. Thornton ignored the unkind in
sinuation of Mr.. Callahan, but immedi-
ately reverted to the San Bruno avenue
project. He was expressing himself
upon the h0pelessness of that plan and
was just about TO shoot off another al
fusion to incorporation when hewa held
up by Henry Bruins, who also runs a
hog ranch, who wanted the versatile
agent of Mr.. Buckley TO explain why he
had been strongly in favor Of the San
question had been brought up and was
now so strongly opposed TO it.
Chairman Henry Ward Brown re-
ueved the embarrassment that resulted
by getting up TO deny that he had
ever had afiliation or tickets with any
poolroom. He pointed with pride
to the fact that at the last Legislature
he had framed a bill against that in
iquity. which had got as far as second
reading when the session was adjourn
ed He said a whole bunch of real IN
kind things about the newspapers and
accused The Call of having alluded 10
the citizens Of Colma as touts and stew
buns. Henry Bruins again interrupt
ed at this point TO say that he had
understood the papers to say that Mar
tin Kelly and his crowd were all those
things. Then Mr.. Brown got embar-
rassed himself and pulled out Of his
pocket bunch of letters and references
on the cost Of running small-sized
town under its own government. Mr..
Thornton saw the point, but steered
clear of it and said he was glad the
road matter had been settled, and as
nobody offered a rousing demonstra-
ton for interpretations and pOolrooms
adjournment was taken upon Thorn
tons suggestion.

GEORGE 7, GADEN
PASSES AWAY IN
PRIME OF LIFE
Prominent in Reform
Movements.

George T. Gaden, a well-known ctti-
zen of San Francisco, died in this city
yesterday. Mr.. Gaden first came into
prominence through the active interest
he displayed in municipal reform and
labor problems. By reason of his knowl-
edge Of urban affairs he was selected
by the late Mayor Sutro as confiden-
tial secretary and adviser in matters
connected with the. operations Of the
Board of Supervisors with which Mr.
Sutro was associated. He devoted his
time largely to the watching Of street
contractors and to exposing the then
prevailing methods of defrauding the
city.
AS secretary Of the Civic Federation
Mr.. Gaden did a great deal of hard
work on the lines pursued by that or
ganization, with which were identified
