PARKER A STOCKHOLDER
IN TWO LARGE TRUSTS

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-In a speech
clared that Parker as Judge had re-
viewed cases affecting corporations in
which the Judge held stock. The
Democrats Immediately made a denial
that Parker ever owned any trust
stock. Governor Odell said to-day:
II know that Judge Parker has
$4,000 worth of United States Ship
building stock. / happen to know it
because he came to me himself and
asked me to let him have it. / know
he got it because I instructed my
agent to give 1t to him, and he paid
for it. If there is any doubt about
the reliability of this statement / will
in ten hours-yes, in less time than
that-as soon as I get to Newburg,
produce the documents that will show
for themselves.
' Il know that Judge Parker had
stock in the United States Steel Cor
poration. If there is any doubt about
that I'll furnish the documents. 1
can do it in fifteen minutes after
get to Newburg. Any man who at
tacks another for being connected
with trusts should come into court
with clean hands. All Theodore
Roosevelt ever did in connection with
the trusts was to bring them up with
a short turn whenever possible. Hon

ponent. Now there is not a strain of
disccrd. They all come out with cheers
for me-
The meeting was presided over by

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Former
Judge Parkers active campaign will
close tomorrow hight, when he will
meet the Democrats of Brooklyn at a
reception to be held in the Kings
County Democratic Club His speak
ing programme is already at an end.
He has no plans for further addresses
and it is not likely that he will par
ticipate in any more political meetings.
Upon his return from Connecticut to-
day he went to his room at the Hotel
Seville, attended to his correspondence
and received few callers.
Immediately after luncheon he took
walk with John d. Crimmins, made
a special call and took an automobile
ride in Central Park In the evening
he dined informally with a friend.

DOAN's PILLS.
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
Which Is Better, Try an Experiment or
Profit by a San Francisco Citi-
ZGn'S Experience !?

Something new is an experiment.
Must be proved to be as repre-
sented.
The statement of manufacturer is
not convincing proof OF merit.
But the Endorsement of friends is.
Now supposing you had bad back,
A lame. weak or aching one,
Would you experiment on 1t?
You will read of many so-called
cures.
Indorsed by strangers from far
away places.
It's different when the indorsement
comes from home.
Easy to prove local testimony.
Home Endorsement is the proof that
backs every box of Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Read this case:
w. d. Nicol, foreman rigger at the
-Risdon Iron and Locomotive Works,
residence 500 Minnesota street, says:
"Some nights after a hard days work

ache. The last attack chung to me

was more acute than any previous
attack and lasted longer. Naturally
on the outlook for any means to help,

Charge of Illegal Registration Is De-
MED by Engine Company No. A.

MED by Engine Company No. A.
The members of the San Francisco
Fire Department connected with En-
CINE Company No. A, in a letter to the
Board of Fire Commissioners, resent
the assertion of the Merchants Asso-
citation that they are ballot box stuff
fers, and have addressed the follow
ing letter to the board:
SAN FRANCISCO, November 4, 1901
Honorable Board Of Fire Commissioners and
Chief Engineer
Gentlemen. We. the undersigned, members
Of Engine Company No. T. hereby forward you
a communication relative to an article that
appeared in the columns of the San Francisco
Chronicle and the Evening Bulletin of Noverfl-
ber g. 1904 in which classified as bal
lot-box suffers. We feel somewhat hurt at
being called suffers after registering from
where rightfully belong, GIG Howard street,
the number OF our company quarters, which
number is in plain view of any passer-by. We
remain very respectfully, Michael Boden cap
tain; Thomas Hennessy. hoseman: Timothy J.

The articles referred to in the fore
going letter asserted that there was no
such number as 676 Howard street
and also mentioned two other firemen.
one of whom has been dropped from

OBTAIN INSPECTORS REMOVAL.
Voters of the Thfrty-Nin Object to

SotefS Oh the Th1rty-N1nth OBJECT to
w. j. Foster.
Several voters from the Fourth Pre-
cinct of the Thirty-ninth Assembly
District, together with Fairfax H.
Wheelan of the Merchants Associa-
ton, appeared last night before the
Beard of Election Commissioners to
show why w. ]. Foster, an election in
spector, should be dismissed. Mr..
Hazel testified that Foster was an en-
ploye of the United States Government
and therefore disqualified from serv-
ing.
Fairfax Wheelan then testified that
Foster, while an election officer of the
Fourth Precinct at the last primary
election, was present when Adolph
Steffens whom Foster knew, voted the
name of another man and that Foster
made no protest
In reply Foster said that he was
sick on election day and away from
the voting booth several times. He
aGded that he saw no illegal voting.
The question resolved itself into the
necessity of believing Mr.. Wheelan or
Mr.. Foster and the board decided to
give the city the benefit of the doubt.
1t removed Foster on the ground that
he is a Government employe.
Regarding the communication from
the Fire Commissioners relating to the
complaint of the firemen Of Engine
Company 4 that they were falsely ac-
cused of being ballot-box suffers, the
Election Board decided that its former
letter to the Merchants Association
relating to the City and County Hos
pital registrations covered the case.
The board passed a resolution, how
ever, "condemning the policy of any
association that accuses legal voters
of San Francisco of being ballot-box
suffers"
There still remain 100 vacanies on
the list of election officers to be filled
by Tuesday and the members were
asked to make special effort to have
the list complete. 1t was decided to
meet again on Monday night at 8
o'clock.

Election of Republican Ticket.

Election of Republican Ticket.
n. c. Coghlan, Republican nominee
for the Assembly in the Forty-first
District, and James L. Gallagher, for
Superior Judge, were the only candi-
dates who spoke at the meeting at
Steimke Hall, Octavia and Union
streets. last night, but speechmaking
was not lacking, for prominent citizens
of the district took part and there was
much effective argument in behalf of
the ticket. Coghlan and Gallagher
were very cordially received and their
well-timed addresses in behalf of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks were heart
lily applauded.
E. ]. Pringle presided and the first
speaker he called was Judge Henry c.
DibbIe. Charles Murdoch followed
with an entertaining comparison of
the present campaign with that of
1854 in San Francisco, when his first
vote was cast for Lincoln. In those
days party feeling ran high. The tran
gull campaign of 1904 was wide con-
trast, said the speaker, but the ex-
planation was easy, for now there is
virtually no contest to arouse the Re-
publicans and the hopeless prospect of
the Democrats has defeated all at
tempt at stirring demonstrations.
Sheldon c. Kellogg and General
Woodruff devoted the greater part of
their speeches to urging the election

record and the great advantage to be
derived by San Francisco in having a

Greensboro Female College to be Re
built.

Friends OF Greensboro Female Col
lege will be glad to learn that prepa-
rations have been begun for making
brick for the rebuilding of the Col
lege, and that it is hoped to be able
to have the reconstructed structure
in readiness for the opening of the
regular fall term in September. The
raising of funds for the building has
been going on Systematically and
encouragingly, but from now out this
work will be prosecuted with renewed
vigor. About $4,000 has already
been raised for the building and en-
dowment fund. 1t is also announced
that Mr.. S. A. Odell, of Greensboro,
has subscribed $4,000 to the endow-
ment fund, to which B. N. Duke some
time ago offered $4,000 conditioned
upon the raising of a 100000 endow-
ment from other sources.-Fayette-

Give US q True Record.

From reading the report of the IN
vestigating committee of the A. &
N. CIR. R., as published in the morn
ing papers of Tuesday, one would
naturally infer that the members of
the committee exerted themselves in
their effort to use language of the
proper degree of "white-wash" ma
ture.
Their summary is indeed nice
reading. One ignorant of the situa-
ton, would infer that the committee
itself had been active in the manage
ment, or Encouragement, of the road
in the past, and would conclude that
their report was entirely too explain
atory to be satisfying.
Since this investigation was held
behind closed doors, we feel that the
proper thing for the Governor now
to do would be to publish the proceed
ings of the investigation in detail
and give the public a true record of
the star chamber meetings. This
record of course would be voIuminous
and the publishing of the same would
be expensive, but it is due the people
that they be offered an opportunity
of judging the matter for themselves.

Dogs PAY for Libraries.

The publication of the successful
working of the Shelton law, confined
to Edgecombe County, by which the
dog tax of that county has raised
$1,000 in one year for rural school
libraries, has created much interest.
If it is good for E~dgecombe, why
isn't it good for Wake, and the other
ninety-four counties in the State?
The author of the law, Representa-
tive Shelton, in a private letter to
the editor, says:
"This law, with some amendments,
is endorsed by more than nine-tenths-
of the good people of our county, and
if it was a State law would pay into
the county treasures for educational
purposes, etc., more than 100000
annually, which, in a very few years,
would give every school district in
the State a good library."-News

President Ashley Horne and Sec

The Board has for several years aid

was decided hat the condition of the
finances of the Department did not
justify the continuance of the ap-
preparation. The Board declined
again last week to make an appro-

adopted this resolution, introduced
