DONNELLY IS
DELIGHTED WITH
SAN FRANCISCO
Says Chinatown Is It's
Only Blot.

Samuel B. Donnelly, president of the
International Typographical Union, who
is making an official tour of the cities on
the Pacific coast. will depart this after
noon for Stockton, after spending two
weeks in San Francisco. From Stockton
he will go to Sacramento, and thence to
Seattle and over one of he Northern
roads to Indianapolis.
President Donnellys visit to the coast
was for the purpose of promoting the IN
terests of unionism in this section of the
country and incidentally TO endeavor to
straighten out the differences existing be-
tween the job printers and their employ
ers In this city. He is well pleased with
the results of his visit, although his eff
forts to commit the boss printers to his
way of thinking have not been altogether
successful.
THE book and job printing trades are
demoraliZed in San Francisco at the pres
ent time" said President Donnelly. 'as
the result of the strike. But there is an
parent a decided tendency to let bvgones
be bygones. and ] am confident that in
the near future conditions will be greatly
improved. A year ago the Typothetae
entered into an agreement with the Inter-
national Typographical Union by which
nine and one-half hours We're to constitute

and thereafter nine hours were 10 con

the Typothetae of San Francisco, al
though the Typographical Union has
strictly observed it. l have had numerous
conferences with the employing book and

believe that the employers will soon

ana the principal cities in the Southern
part OF he State before coming TO San
FRANCISCO. and he expressed himself as
delighted with California.
mis- is my first visit to the coast" he
said, and l think the climate is perfect

During his stay in San Francisco Mr..
Donnelly has been the recipient of many
attentions from members of the local
typographical Union. He was taken or
a drive through the park and out to the
Cliff House soon after his arrival by An
drew F. Smith. foreman of The Call com
poslng-room; James p. dwell of the Ex-
cox of the Report. A week ago Thursday
he was entertained by President Glib of
the local union, President Booth of the
Press Club and Mr.. Smith. Early last
week he was taken to the summit of
Mount Tamalpais by Frank Wandress
and f. Hochdorffer and Monday he was
Iaken for trip around the bay on the
State tug Governor Markham, visiting
the Union Iron Works ,sausalito and other
points Of interest. He has been enter
tanned at dinner on different occasions by
Andrew F; Smith James T. Houston
President Glib, Joseph A Prentiss and
others. and to cap it all, has been
through Chinatown under the guidance OF
Officer, Burke. All this has given Mr..
Dor DonneIly very healthy conception OF
San Francisco's hospitality, but the
Chinatown trip proved almost too much
for his stomach.
Chinatown is a filthy place." he de-
cared. 1T is disgustingly filthy. and the
Board of Health should have its attention
called to it. There is probably as much
vice among the Chinese of New York as
among the San Francisco Chinese. but In
New York the vice is gided, while here
It's vileness is exposed to the public view
clothed only in rags and filth You should
turn the hose on Chinatown"
Mr.. Donnelly presided at the regular
meeting of the local Typographical Union
yesterday afternoon in Pythian Castle.
During the session he made a brief ad-
dress on the subject of unionism. his re-
marks being enthusiastically applauded.

Motive for Rother's
Suicide.
WEDDING BROUGHT ILL-LUCK
TO SECURE A SITUATION, he
CLAIMED HE WAS SINGLE
This Misrepresentation, According to
the Widow, Preyed Upon Him
Until BE Sought Relief
in Death.

The widow Of Max Rother, who was
drowned Thursday night in the Sacra-
mento River, is firm in the belief that he
deliberately committed suicide because
he had been forced by circumstances to
disown her as his wife. According to the
woman, who was Mrs. Dane when she
was married to him in June last at San
Jose, misfortune dogged her husband s
footsteps since the wedding While, she
says, the parents of Rother offered no
opposition TO the match, the father al
most Immediately withdrew his assistance
to the son. This somewhat discouraged
the young man, but, being of cheerful
disposition, he hoped for the best and
made efforts to secure employment In
this he was unsuccessful.
The condition of the finances Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rother compelled the wife to go to
work about month ago as cham ber-
maid in a lodging house kept by Mrs.
Burke, on Turk street. The labor proved
to be too severe and she had to give up
the position two weeks ago. About the
same time the husband was encouraged
TO believe that he would be given employ
ment by Or. Jaffe, who is engaged in the
wine business at Sacramento, and 4-e left
for the capital city.
Il had never known him to be so cheer
full as the day he went away, said the
widow last evening. Il received letter
from him last Wednesday in which he
stated that, although he had not been
given the position he expected, he was
going to be given a trial. He said that
Jaffe would only employ. single men and
that he had told him that he was not
married. He had also requested his fam
lily to assert the same thing. ne was re-
quired TO furnish bonds, and in the appli-
cation to the security company both he
and his father, 50 he wrote. had asserted
that he was single. This seemed to worry
him, and If there We're really any motive
for his taking his life 1t was that he was
forced through his efforts to secure en-
plOyment to repudiate me-
Il am on the best Of terms with his
family. We have never had a disagree
ment Of any kind. No later than this
afternoon my husbands sisters visited me
TO offer their sympathy
The widow asserts that she had a pre-
monition before her husband left for Sac
ramento that something would happen to
him. The widow insists tnat there ewere
no circumstances surrounding the we'd
ding that would have prompted her hus-
band TO make away with himself, and as
evidence that everything was regular
about the wedding, she produces the
marriage certificate, showing that she
was married to Rother at San Jose June

and managed to come in a close Sec
ond to Martin Espanoza, an old-time
runner. Fred Burgess wore a pair of
flaming trunks and a confident smile,
but both were left at the post. Stan
ley Fay entered the next sprint event,
and after discarding a heavy Phelan
button romped home winner in his
heat and later won the final with Rob-
ert Bowman runner-up.
The fat mans race was a highly in
teresting event. Bob" McGibbon was
played a favorite over George Croll
and ''Wallie" Taylor. Croll won the
event, McGibbon came in a good sec

stretch. Fred Burgess and Jack
Cunningham won the partnership race
and E. Comfy and George James took
second prize. George Meihling was
mounted on CrolIs back in the latter
event and urged on his steed by kick
ing him in the sides with heavy boots.
Croll bucked and fell, sending his rider
over his head
The race for invited guests was won
by Louis Levy; the three-legged
event was taken by Fred Butz and
Stanley Fay; sack race by Lester
Hammersmith; newspa perman's race
by Herbert ChoynSh and the swim
ming contest by George Hinkle. The
last event was unnecessarily delayed
by dog fight and hunting for deep

WILL SUE THE MAYOR.
Dunster's Death Is Charged to Phe-
lan's NEGLECT

The death of John H. Dunster, who was
killed last Friday by the breaking of a
ladder on a building at Thirteenth and
Howard streets, may compel the Mayor
to mix law with politics, and stand d suit
for damages for criminal neglect.
Dunster was a carpenter and had been
sent to fix the roof of the building
which could be reached only by an i'm
provised ladder up the side of the house.
The ladder broke when Dunster was near
the top and he fell fifty feet to the
ground.
The building is owned by Mayor
Phelan, and at the inquest to be held at
the Morgue tomorrow morning Phelan
and his agent, r. D. McElroy, will be
the principal witnesses.
Dunster's death leaves a family of chill
dren dependent upon the oldest boy, for
the mother has been dead for some
years. The son was at the Morgue yes
terday, and he declared 1t to be his in
tention to bring suit against Phelan, as
he says his fathers death was due to
the rotten condition of the ladder, for
which condition Phelan was directly
responsible and of which he had had no.
