VETERANS GREET NEEDHAM.
Old Soldiers OF. Santa Cruz Parade in
His Honor.

SANTA CRUZ, Oct. 27.-Congress-
man Needham tonight made his last
speech in the coast cities of his dis
trict and leaves tomorrow for the in
land towns. He will speak at Hollis
ter tomorrow night and from there
will go to Tracy, Lodi and Stockton.
The opera-house here was jammed
tonight and hundreds turned away.
Before the meeting all the Civil War
veterans of Santa Cruz, wearing
Grand Army uniforms. turned out
and paraded the streets behind a band
in honor of Congressman Needham.
Besides Needham the meeting was ad-
dressed by Seward A. Sims of New
York and George G.. Cleveland, Re-
publican candidate for the Assembly.
Needhams visit aroused much en-
thusiasm and many Democrats called
on him to give him personal assur-
ance of their support at the polls. The
crowd was most enthusiastic and the
speakers were so frequently interrupt
ed by applause that the meeting last
ed until late hour. Few left and for
every one that got out dozens tried to
squeeze in. The indications are that
Monterey and Santa Clara counties
will give unprecedented majorities for
Roosevelt and Needham.
The local band serenaded Congress-
man Needham at the hotel early to-
night and the. streets were kept alight
with red fire until a late hour.

FERRAL MAKES A SPEECH.

Assistant District Attorney Robert
Ferral, the famous war horse of the
local Democracy. delivered his first
speech of the campaign at Apollo
Hall, $40 Pacific street, last evening.
1t was a meeting called by the Iro-
quois Club to further the candidacy
of Charles Edelman, Democratic can
didate for the Assembly in the Forty
fourth District. Judge Ferral was
warmly received by his friends of
years. and as in many campaigns of
the past reused the audience to en-
thusiasm.
The meeting was called to order by
William H. Kline, chief deputy as
SCISSOR, who introduced William M.
Cannon as chairman of the evening.
In the audience was a liberal sprink-
ling of the braves of the club that
Judge Ferral said for years had kept
its doors open and stood unfiinchingly
by the principles of Jefferson in VIC
tory and defeat.
Prior to the speech of Judge Ferral
Mr.. Edelman explained the course he
intended to pursue should he reach
the legislative halls of the State. At
torney Edwin j. Hansen hit the beat
en- path and hurled illustrious names
and history at the audience until his
time expired.
There were other speakers sched-
uled, but Ferral was the last the audi
eEce would wait to hear. When he
concluded the crowd found that it
had had enough and not even the
band could hold 1t.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 27.-The Re
publican demonstration that greeted
United States Senator George C. Per
kins in this city tonight indicates that
the Republican majority in Sacramento
County on November 8 will be over
whelming. For the third time in this
campaign the spacious hall OF the OLD
Pavilion was filed to overfiowing with
enthusiastic Republican voters, who
cheered themselves hoarse when the
names of Roosevelt and Fairbanks or
of Congressional Candidate Duncan e.
McKlnlay were mentioned by the
speakers. Senator George c. Perkins
and E. Myron Wolfe, State Insurance
Commissioner, were the principal
speakers at the meeting.
A brilliant torchlight parade, headed
by the Roosevelt Republican Legion
and brass band, marched through the
principal streets and escorted the
guests of honor TO the hall. The meet
ing was presided over by Alfred Hol-
man, editor and publisher of the Sac
ramento Record-Union, who read
letter from Judge Albert G..
Burnett of Santa Rosa express
ing his regrets that sickness
prevented him from speaking in behalf
of Duncan Z. McKinlay, who, he de-
CldTeQ, deserved the vote Oh every ne
publican in the district and, If elected,
would make the best representative
this district ever sent to Washington.
Senator Perkins was warmly ap-
plauded when he arose to speak. He
said that all good citizens should have
one object in view, namely: to secure
for the country good laws and good
government. The party that we should
be interested in, he said, should be the
party that does the most good The
people OF this country have tried both
parties. In 1898 a Democratic President
was elected and hard times followed.
The people found they had made a mis-
take and when the Republicans came
into power again, in 1897, prosperity
followed. Senator Perkins then took
up the issues of the campaign and in
an eloquent address plainly pointed out
the strength of the Republican policy.
E. Myron Wolfe made an effective
appeal for the Republican candidates
and especially for Duncan E. McKin-
lay, the Republican nominee for Con-
gresham from this district.

CHEERING NEWS FROM THE INTERIOR

Second District, was in San Francisco
few hours yesterday, having just re-
turned from a remarkable tour of Men
docino and Lake counties, where he
broke all records for fast travelling by
day and night. Vast audiences assem-
bled to cheer him and listen to his mas
terly discussion of living topics. He
will speak tonight at Fair Oaks. To-
morrow night the Republicans of Glenn
County will give great demonstration
In his honor at Willows. The State Cen
trail Committee is assured of Republi-
can gains in Lake and MendocinO.
Round Valley is reported all right. All
that was needed to put voters in line
for Roosevelt and AcKinlay was the
Round Valley bill which Congressman
Bell attempted to pass during the clos
ing hours of the last session. The
speakers clearly presented the fact that
the bill which the Democratic paper of
Ukiah published was not the bill which
Bell tried to ring up. The text of the
suppressed bill provoked surprise and
Indignation.
Reports are coming to the State COM
mittee from Sacramento that the DEM
ocrats are trying to save Bell by cir
culating the report that the canteen
at the State Soldiers Home was not
closed down, but was simply placed on
a footing with the canteen of the ma
tional homes. The State committee
promptly gives out the correct informa-
tion that ii is not lawful under the pro-
visions Of the Bell amendment to sell a
drink of the purest California wine or
even a glass of beer on the State Home
grounds. The canteen at the National
Home, Santa Monica, is in full blast.
The prohibition in this State applies
only to the home situated in the dis
trict which Bell in 1902 was elected to
represent The prohibition press praises
Bell for wiping out twenty saloons with
one stroke of legislation.
The Prohibition State Central Com
mittee announces a meeting at Acad-
emy of Sciences Hall, San Francisco,
this evening. Rev. A. c. Bane will be
the chief speaker. He will speak on the
topic, Why the Saloons Should Be
Eliminated" The final grand rally of
the Prohibitionists of San Francisco,
Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley will
take place Friday, November 4.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Evidence OF in
cendiarism in connection with the Chi
cago Car and Locomotive Works fire
at Hegewisch, leading practically up
to the point when the match was ap-
piled. is in the hands of Corporation
Counsel Tolman. Another sensational.
feature of the case that developed to-
day is the discovery that 1. N. Perry,
president of the National Bank OF
North America, has filed with the in
surance companies no claim for any
portion of the $172,000 insurance carried
on the plant. The evidence given be-
fore Fire Attorney Johnson and made
public to-day contains testimony from
Frank Book, engineer Of the Chicago
Car and Locomotive Works, who also
reports a talk he had with l.. II. Bald
win, former president of the company.
Baldwin, according to the evidence,
said that Perry had applied for in
creased iT Surance greatly oVerstatlng
the actual value of the plant. The en-
gineer testified that Baldwin had told
him of this and repeatedly warned him
to be on his guard.

the warning given by Baldwin on an
occasion, according to the engineer.
COMBUSTIBLES MOVED.
Books testimony recited that Perry
had peremptorily ordered combustible
materials. such as cars, to be stored
among the buildings of the plant, which
were of such construction and so sepa-
rated that fire would scarcely have
spread from one to another but for the
intervening combustible matter. Fri
day or Saturday, according to the en-
gineer, Perry ordered all cars brought
in among the buildings, $50 that no one
could get into them"
Sunday, when Perry called at the
plant, Book was sick.
go home; you're in bad shape" said
Perry to Book, according to the evil
dence, but Book, recalling Baldwins
warning, went through the plant with
his employer. well. I've only little
figuring to do now" Perry is alleged to
have said. You go on to the doctor
and get a headache powder, and III
meet you at the station"
When Book reached the station Perry
was not in sight. Running back to the
plant, he searched through two build
ings and finally met Perry coming out
of third building. They went to the
station and Perry took the train.
FIRE SUDDENLY STARTS.
'I started back to the plant and had
gone only a little way when / saw
smoke coming from the exhibit build
ing" said Buck. II ran all the way
to the plant, but the alarm had al
ready been turned in"
Perry's counsel to-day declared that
no claim for loss had been filed with
the insurance companies because no in
ventory of the company's assets had
been completed until last Saturday, but
that the delay in filing a claim had no
connection whatever with the develop
ment of arson charges.
Late in the afternoon Perry and a
number of his friends went to the court

HERE TO RELIEVE
ADOLPH ROSENTHAL
Franz Bopp. Former German Consul
General at Montreal, Arrives
From the East.

From the East.
Franz Bopp has arrived in San
Francisco from Montreal, Canada, to
assume his duties as German Consul
General in this city. Adolph Rosen-
thai, the former Consul General, has
been granted an extended leave of alb
sence, and the supposition is that
Bopp's appointment, now temporary,
will later be made permanent. Bopp
has had more than twelve years ex-
perience in the German Consular sys-
tenn. For five years he was German
vice Consul at Chicago, and for a
year he served in a like capacity in
New York. From there he was trans
ferred to Montreal, Canada. where his
jurisdiction included the entire Domin-
ion. He remained at Montreal for
over six years and comes to San Fran
cisco direct from there.
During his term of service in Cana
da Bopp has had to contend with some
of the most important problems in the
history of the trade relations between
Germany and the Dominion. A tariff
war, brought about according to
Bopp's view of the NATTER by Cham
berlain's policy of imperial protection,
has been waged with the result that
the Dominion now imposes a surtax
on goods imported from Germany.
In regard to reciprocity between the
United States and Canada, the new
Consul says the agitation is mostly on
the part of the border States of Amer
lea. In Canada the desire for special
trade treaties has declined of late
years.
Bopp has taken apartments at the
Augustine on Post street and will
shortly be Joined by his family.
