early to-day by six robbers, who secured
the contents and escaped 1t is said the

preached the bank however, were driven
away by the robbers, who were armed
with rifles. Mayor Mcconnell attempted
to enter the bank, but was fired upon by

battle took place, during which the

COMMERCIAL INTERESTS
ARE TO BE REPRESENTED
Chamber of Commerce Selects w. M. Bunker
as Delegate to Washington, D. G.


eISl He Chamber of Commerce, at it's
quarterly meeting held yesterday,
decided to maintain representa-
IL tive permanently at Washington
to look out for the commercial in
terests Of San Francisco. William M.
Bunker has been selected for the position
and will leave for his new post at an early
date.
The matter is one which has been sub
ject of debate among the prominent men
Of this city for several months. San Diego
on the south and Seattle on the north both
have representatives at the national capi-
tai and their labors have been crowned
with beneficial results. That San Fran
cisco should likewise be provided for has
been long admitted, but there has pre-
viously seemed no way IN which the nee
essary expenses might be met Now the
Chamber of Commerce has determined to
pay for everything out of it's own treas
ury without the assistance of the other
commercial organizations of the city.
Senator Perkins was present at the
meeting yesterday and strongly advised
that the action be taken. He stated that
he himself and the other members of the
delegation were always ready to assist
by whatever means should be in their
power in furthering the interests of San
Francisco, but that a man who was. con-
Stantly in touch with commercial inter-
ests on the coast could present matters
for legislation to the delegates in a much
better way than could be done by postal or
telegraphic communication, which has up
to this time been the way in which i'm
portant masters have been dealt with.
Mr.. Bunker has for a long time been ac-
tive in the interests of the Chamber OF
Commerce and in choosing him for the
new pest commercial men feel that they
have secured the services of an efficient
worker
The membership committee made a very
exhaustive report of its labors yesterday
IT was shown that the organization has
mere members now than at any other
time in its history. Many new firms have
been admitted during the last two months
and the total membership is now 52O The
activity and earnestness of Secretary
Scott were especially commended.
The Chamber of Commerce is now on q
solid working basis and its members are

PROMINENT CITIZENS
ORGANIZE TOBIN CLUB
Democratic Candidate for Mayor Says
He Will Discuss the Issues
Ta+aT

The Joseph S. Tobin Club was organized
last night at 9O9 Market street 1t was an
enthusiastic and representative gathering
of the friends of the Democratic candi-
date for Mayor, and many Of them made
ccmmendatory speeches in regard to the
candidate, while the others promised to
work hard IN behalf of his candidacy
The meeting was called to order by Col
onel Thomas Z. Barry, while 7. +. Nc
Cormick was selected as secretary. DIR.
Joseph Calegaris, former Chief of Police
Patrick Crowley, F E Besthal, Albert s.
NYieland and B. P Oliver were selected as
vice presidents.
When Tobin was called upon for a
speech he said he had not come to the
meeting for that purpose, bur to thank
his friends and the Democrats OF the city
for the honor they had conferred upon
him. He said IL was both a pleasure and
an honor to be nominated for Mayor by
the Democratic party, and he was pleased
to receive the Endorsement of his friends.
He added that ii had not been his inten-
ton to accept the nomination on account
of private reasons, but he agreed to make
the sacrifice as an honest and patriotic
citizen
Tobin won great applause from his
hearers when he declared in forcible terms
that he had accepted the nomination with
out pIedging himself 10 any one, and that
he was and would always be without tie
to any man or set of men. He promised
that If elected he would perform the du-
ties of the office in an upright and honest
manner and to the best Of his ability.
TObin concluded his remarks by saying
that he would not discuss the issues of
the campaign at the meeting, deeming the
district meetings the proper places for
their discussion.
The temporary officers were made per
nnanent, and on motion it was decided to
have the chair appoint eighteen gentlemen
from the various districts to work with
the officers and vice presidents as a cam
paign committee of the club.

FINDS THE BABY
WHO WAS STOLEN
Mrs. Susan Levy Trails
Her Daughter to the
Preside.

111o Broadway, Oct. To-
Mrs Susan Levy has recovered her four
year-old daughter, who was abducted Sun
Gay night by the child's father, Daniel
Levy, from the home of its grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. NJ. Harrington of 803
Twelfth street.
Alone and unaided the mother went in
pursuit of her missing baby to-day and
located the little one near the Preside in
san Francisco, where the father is sta
toned as a soldier of the Twenty ninth
Infantry, T. s. A. Mrs. Levy tried to Sc
cure the assistance of the local police in
the search, but was informed that under
present conditions the father was as much
entitled TO possession of the child as her
self. Nothing daunted by this plain ex-
planation of the legal side of the case, the
mother decided to go upon the trail her
self and if possible to find the hiding place
of her little girl. Realizing that her hus-
band would undoubtedly put their dauSh-
ter within easy access of his abode, Mrs.
Levy FASTENED at once to the Prestdio.
After wandering for hours about the
Government grounds and becoming nearly
exhausted by her long search the mother
was about to surrender, when she sudden
ly espied the figure of a child clad in red
automobile coat. The mother recognized
the coat as the Wearer disappeared in the
favorable moment Mrs. Levy, nervous and
excited, saw her opportunity, slipped into
the place, got her child and fled for a
street car. Fastening back to Oakland,
the mother and her child were soon safe
in the HARRINGTON residence. She returned
this evening with her daughter to Benz
cia, Mrs. LeVy's home.
Further contest for the custody OF the
daughter must be made there, for the
mother says she will make application to
the court for control over her child, pend
ing the settlement of the divorce suit she
has brought against her husband.
Levy declares that the only reason he
desired to remove his daughter was be-
cause the child was not in proper sur
roundinpG
