WANT BICYCIISTS TO
WEAR MORE CLOTHING
Citizens of Haywards Object to Co.'S
TUNES of Wheclmen and Petition
for Ordinance Regulating Them.

OAKLAND, Aug. 27.-The exposure
of Drawn and muscle exhibited by
racing bicyclists in the neighborhood
of Haywards has shocked the Puritan
taste of some of the citizens of that
town and petition has been present
ed to the Board of Trustees in part as
follows:
I'VE agree with a majority of our
people that the racing wheelmen on
Sunday should dress in more refined
taste. 1t has always been a very I'M
pleasant sight to us and we believe
the matter should be regulated and
the rights of the people respected.
ut is undoubtedly very offensive to
many people and it seems to us that
a regulation costume could be pur-
chased that would work just as well
and not shock the young people who
are on their way to church or home
ward bound"
The costume that has given such
offense exposes the arms and legs Of
the riders to about the same extent
as a bathing suit and it is contended
by cyclists that 1t is the regulation
suit recognized all over the country
and used at all race meets, where
thousands Of women congregate to
see the races.

Progress Federation Com
mittee to Establish City
Central Headquarters
WORK Is SYSTEMATIZED
First of a Series of Mass
Meetings Will Be Held
Next Thursday Evening
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1016 Broadway, Aug. q.

1Ol6 broadway, Aug. ~.
The first step toward an organized
campaign for improvement bonds was
taken to-day, when the campaign COM
mittee Of the Progress Federation Of
Oakland formulated plans for the es-
tablishment Of a city central headquar-
tiers and the appointment of sub-com-
mittees in each ward Of the city. 1t
was decided that the campaign COM
mittee, which is composed of seven
members, one from each ward, shall
act as a central committee, whose duty
it shall be to secure speakers for all
bond meetings held under the direction
of the various ward committees.
The ward committees will be COM
posed of three members each, who will
be chosen, as far as possible, from
among the officers of the various inn
provement organizations, and upon
these subcommittee will devOlve the
work of securing halls and arranging
meetings in the different wards. 1t is
purposed to hold these bond meetings
in each of the wards in turn in order
that practically the same speakers may
deliver addresses in all parts of the
city.
The first meeting under the auspices
of the campaign committee will be held
next Thursday evening. H. B. Belden,
chairman of the committee, received a
communication to-day from Council
man John L. Howard, who said that he
had prepared a paper on Bond Pro-
iects" which he would read at the meet
ing.
The cannaien committee met this
afternoon at the office of H. B. Belden,
chairman of the committee. The men,
bers of the Progress Federation bond
campaign committee, which will here
after be known as the city central COM
mittee, are H. B. Belden, George Sam
uels, ]. c. Bullock, P. NJ. Fisher, j. c.
Estey, A. V. Feight and Edwin Stearns,
secretary of the Board of Trade.

Hans Remien, a DespOndent

LEAVES NO MESSAGE

Give Exit From Life for
One Disappointed Man
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

1016 Broadway, Aug. q.
Hanging lifeless by a cord tied to
his bedpost Hans Remien. a gardener,
81 years of age, was found this morn
ing in his room at S22 Linden street.
No message was left for his relatives
to tell them of the somber thoughts
that disquieted his last days. He
went to work as usual yesterday
morning and returned last night with
out an intimation that he had any
thing unusual in contemplation.
When the body was discovered this
morning it was stiff and cold and life
had been extinct for many hours.
Remien had tied a piece of clothes
line to his bed post and at the other
end he made a moose, which he put
around his neck and then allowed
his weight to hang on the cord. Death
was caused by strangulation.
He leaves a brother living at 1915
Seventh street and sister in San
Francisco. He was not in financial
need, as he had about $1,000 in bank.
Montreal will spend $3,000 900 in the
improvement Of its wharves.

ALAMEDA, Aug. 27.-The days of

Startling Social Prop ositlons.

George Meredith, the English au.
thor, has created a sensation by advo-
eating tCn-yCsI marriage contracts, rs
substitute for the life covenant 90
often annulcd by divorces. He seems
to think that the bare fact of n termi-
nation OF all that is bright and enjoy
able in the marriage state, will make
the bonded place an appreciative
value upon thcm that will serve to
perpetuate the union by renewal Of
contract. Then again, probably he
gave the mulish nature OF mankind
some consideration, and the DISPOSE
ton very generally manifested to
break from restraint, absolutely with
out reason, and to make the biped as
we'll as his brother with the long ears
progress forward by an apparent at
tempt to pull him backwards.
Then another substitute, suggested
by a no less parsonage than Princess
Charlotte. Of Saxe-Meiningcn, sister
OF the German Emperor, is quite as
sensational. She advocates polygamy
as a remedy for social sins. She thinks
that divorce is the result of bOrPdOm,
and that variety of conjugal ex-
perience would be likely to create an
interest which might Danish ennui
and produce all the excitement said
to be developed by counter-irritants.
But then, it will be noted that. MEM
bers of the royal families of Europe
enjoy special privileges in this matter.
If they choose to maintain self.respect,
they engage in Morganatic marriages.
If they defy moral sentiment, they
elope with the family tutor or hair
dresser.
The New York World. in comment
ing upon the Princess plan asks,
would she consent to polyandry as a
coincident privilege. The cases are,
however, considerably dissimilar, as
long as in ninety-nine Of hundred
cases, the man plans, provides and
executes those most essential details
for support of a household and family.
and this duty might be neglected if it
fell upon the many instead of one,
qualified by nature for that work.
Such sue .estions are, from relig-
ious point OF view, OF course, all wrong,
but it must be borne in mind that
social custom is whatever the prevail.
ing sentiment Of the time makes it.
Present ideas of marriage, under civil
ization, are based upon a leading
tenet OF the Decalogue, and, as long
as the Christian religion prevails, there
will not be much departure from it.
What effect the present contention,
mainly in the Protestant Episcopal
Church, against divorce, will have, re-
mains to be seen, but the frequency,
not to say popularity, OF divorce, is
forcing consideration Of some means
OF relief from moral standpoint, and
it sometimes branches out in unex.
pected directions, as noted in this
article.

A Whitecap Outrage at Kelso.

Is our State following he record OF
Others for those Whitecap ou,rages so
thoroughly deprecated by the civilized
world and which have only found
expression So far when the british
instinct has supplantrd all that is
noble in the human form? But it
seems that this misfortune was not to
have been avertcd, and we have the
details OF an outrage, which, while it
rivals others in feudal districts, seems
to have been absolutely without mo-
tive.
The details of the ii, nd.sh act are
briefly as follows: NJ. Kelly, who re.
sides near kelsn, in Cuwhiz county,
had made arrangements for his mar
riage with Miss lulu Ward, who had
been attending school ~ E!lensburg,
and was to have come to Kelso on
Monday, the 81 inst. Kelly had asked |
his friend, Joe Baxter, to go to Kalama
with him, Monday morning, to procure
a license, but did not appear in time
for the train and Baxter waited till |
the evening departure, and Kelly still
not appearing, he went home.
Nothing was heard of Kelly until
Friday, when Sid Jones, on hunting
trip, led by his dogs, found him bound
and with gag in his mouth, dashed to
tree. His hands were tied with wires
so strong that Jones had to go to town
for a pair of shears to cut them. Kelly |
was almost dead from pain and expos
ure, but able to give fragmentary
account of his abduction. He said he |
was met 10y two men, one dressed as
woman, and told that they were stay
ing at a house in the neighborhood,
and they had letter for him from his
father, and for him to call at | o'clock |
and get it. When he appeared for it,
he was seized, bound and blindfolded,
and strapped on the back of a horse.
His assailants then mounted horses
and drove with him, at gallop, over
broken country. Entering the woods,
Kelly was roughly pulled to the
ground, kicked, beaten and a gag
forced into his mouth and tied behind
his head. He was then dashed to q
tree. A thin wire was then produced,
ran through his skin in shameful
manner, and picture OF his fiancee
and lock of her hair strung upon it.
He was then left, doubtless to die, for
the isolated place chosen was unlikely
to be discovered, especially as the gag
prevented an cutlery. Under the doc.
tors care, Kelly has slightly revived
and will probably recover.
Excitement has ran high at Kelso
ever since discovery OF the outrage,
and every means has been taken to
find the perpetrators Of the inhuman
act, but the work has been rendered
exceedingly difficult from the fact
that Kelly is man OF good reputation
and there is absolutely no motive, so
far as yet discovered, for the infliction
Of suffering upon him or the attempt
upon his life.

POISONED WHISKY CAUSES MANY
DEATHs.-A startling report comes
from New York, under date of the
18th inst, of number OF deaths that
had been traced to the use of a brand
of whisky sold in a so.called "barrel
house." in one of the suburban dis.
tricts. Twenty-Five deaths within q
fortnight, all of middle.aged persons
in presumably good health, led to a
post norton examination, which indi.
Gated the presence OF wood alcohol in
the stOmachs of the victims. The
police are in charge of the saloon and
full investigation will be made.

THERE are times in the career of every
President when he cannot possibly bor-
row another persons backbone, and in
view of that. it is just as well that he
should form the habit of using his own.
Oily.
All, so there is a considerable want
of rigidity in the spinal column of
leading Republicans, is there? The
President has no lack of stiffness, how.
ever, in that part OF his anatomy, and
his friends are constantly on guard to
keep it from offensive obtrusion upon
the public eye.

THE people HAVE TO PAY.-The
packers have. since the strike, added a
cent to the prices of meats, in half
cent doses, in the Eastern wholesale
markets, to pay the losses of the late
contest, amounting to several millions
OF dollars and augmented this method
by slight squeeze in certain depart
ments OF lator. 1t appears that the
people have to pay whenever capital
loses, and this prompt method of re-.
trieval seems to be designed as pun
ishment, as we'll, for popular sympathy
extended the strikers. If, as has been
Shown, the President has assured the
packers of his sympathy and support,
may Heaven protect the people if he
enters upon another term.

How CAN IT BE DoNE?-It has been
suggested that the Capitol Commits

fact that the Auditor has no authority
to draw warrants until an appropria-

spoke from the Olympia hotel veranda

candidate" but bases the term on the
utter want of enthusiasm that char
acterizes his meetings. 1t says the
candidate utterly failed to impress his
auditors as public speaker, and the
big crowd soon tired, and several thou
sands left the pavilion before the close
of his harangue. 1t was u complete
failure aud the most truthful of the
comments ON the tone and temper OF
the crowd. called out ut the largest

President of the United States, was:
" Friendly indulgent, but not enthusi-
astic." 1t was the same here, brother,
although the Senator was doubtless
cheered by the presence of his "old
classmate," John Rea.

ner. He insists that all the acts of
the Administration OF Mr.. Roosevelt,
when closely scanned. betray a drift
towards absolutism, or imperialism as
stated in the platform. He says:
Imperialism is hurtiul and abhorrent
in free government and subversive of
free institutions. The policy of imper.
ialism-if it can be said to have policy
is always dangerous to liberty. Its
powers are first exercised i'll far.off ter.
ritory and on conquered people, but,
once adopted for acquired and distant
possessions, it becomes, sooner or later,
the rule OF the home government. Lib
erty and free government have ALWAYS
been secured at the cost of great sacri-
fees, but history teaches us that both
can be easily lost without the knowledge
OF the people"
