REV. MIR. RAIDER MAKES APPEAL.
Asks All Citizens to Take Interest in
Municipal Affairs.

Municipal Patriotism" was the sub
ject of an address delivered last night
by Rev. William RAIDER before a large
meeting of the British and American
Union in the Academy of Sciences Hall
He spoke in part as follows:
The official who administers the city for his
own interest is a political criminal.
!. appeal to the<Native Sons. They should
take a thoughtful interest in the municipal
welfare OF the city. l appeal TO the men who
have come from other lands and States. Men
from all lands and cities are here. 1 ask you
TO assume responsibility Take hold and help
X san Francisco is good enough to make liv-
ing in it is good enough to vote in.
l appeal TO the Indifferent classes to the
business men who. as Lincoln Steffens says
are buying boodlers in st. Louis, defending
grafters in Minneapolis, originating corruption
in Pittsburg, sharing with bosses in Philadel-
phia, deploring reform in Chicago and beating
good government with corruption funds in
New York" The business men who are too
busy to vote and TO attend the primaries have
no right TO complain after the election Is held.
To the church people preachers, professional
men, l say the future Of this city is in your
hands Wake up
The labor unions of San Francisco are in
politics. They have been in for several years.
They enjoy it They the masters of the
situation. They have a right to go into poll
tics. The workingman's vote is as heavy as
the employers vote. This is a free country
The workingr1en are happier industrially than
politically. They are receiving good wages
and are financially prosperous. but they are
uncertain TO the future.
The average laborer is patriotic. He is
thoughtful and I appeal to this thoughtfulness
when 1 say that II is unfortunate for all when
separate party Is made out OF unionism in
this city at this time. The government OF this
city is not intended for any one class, since
the interest OF all is identical. The civic gov

srcGowAN-KEANE RALLY.
Meeting of Opponents of League Held
I'm Saratoga Hall.

The McGowan-Keane ticket of the
Forty-second District, which was
thrown into the field in opposition to
that of the San Francisco Republican
League, held a rally at Saratoga Hall,
Geary street near Larkin, last evening.
The politics put up at the rally was
Of the most strenuous sort and included
everything from foaming beverages to
a three-round boxing match. The
Wolfe brothers hammered each other
in a manner that won double the ap-
plause offered to any of the speakers.
And then there were "coon-s song shout
ers," balladists and rag-time pianists
by the dozen.
Attorney George A. MCGOWAN, who
is leading the fight in the district
against the Republican League, made
the first address, in which he called
for the support OF the gathering. For
mer Chief Deputy County Clerk Joseph
Goddard followed MCGOWAN. Forget
ting that clean streets are more at is
sue in the present campaign than the
tariff or other questions OF national
import, Goddard made a full dinner
pail speech, in which he ran the gamut
of the higher issues from the soup
house to imperialism.
James Cosgrove, who was in the
chair, made the closing remarks.

PARK AFFAIRS ARE
GIVEN ATTENTION
Commissioners Make Tenn
porary Concession to
Automobiles.

The Board of Park Commissioners met
yesterday at the Palace Hotel, Reuben H.
Lloyd in the chair. The Commissioners
present were Reuben H Lloyd, William
]. Dingee, Earl Cummings and Superin-
tendent John McLaren.
Some half dozen physicians petitioned
that at least one avenue De open for the
convenience of automobiNsts after IL
o'clock at night, urging the use of the
automobile as the accepted expeditions
manner of answering urgent calls.
The board listened to the representa-
tives of two firms in the auto industry
who also favored the opening of the park
at all times for the automobile. The
board decided to temporarily allow the
use OF the auto on the South drive at all
hours, but with the concession came the
warning against fast driving or boisterous
behavior.
Secretary Schmitz later read a COM
munication from the Oceanside Improve
ment Club expressing deep appreciation
for the wisdom and courage of the board
in limiting the time within which carous-
ing and drunken automobile parties may
be within the park. Lloyd expressed
surprise that the communication had not
been read before the board rendered its
decision.
Superintendent McLaren announced that
366 men and women had been employed
in the park and squares during the month
and that Lloyd Lake, situated at the east
end of the old speedway road, had been
completed and would contain 100000 gall
Ions of water for irrigating purposes.
Golden Cato Valley Improvement Club
thanked the board for improving Lobos
avenue square. An offer of the Colonial
Danes to present the park with a hand
some sun dial was favorably received
and left in the hands of Commissioner
Cummings. The plan and sketch of the
new windmill for the south western part
of the park were adopted. The windmill
is the gift of Samuel G. Murphy, who
donated $40 900 with which to build 1t.
Lloyd understood that .hoodlums" had
been depriving children of their play
things In the park and he wished it un-
derstood that that kind of business would
not be tolerated. The Epworth League
petitioned that drinking fountains be
placed along the ocean boulevard. The
matter was favorably received and left in
the hands of Superintendent McLaren.

SPOILED BOY MAKES VICIOUS
ATTACK ON THREE POLICEMEN
Insanity Suspected, but Guardians
Reach Conclusion That Lads Affiic-
ton Is Very Ugly Temper.

G. s. Day, the 19-year-old boy who
was lately examined by the Insanity
Commissioners for mental debility, was
arrested last night at his home, 735
O'Farrell street, on charge of drunk
enness. He became so violent at the
City Prison that he was taken to the
Emergency Hospital. When entering
the operating room at the hospital Day
attacked the three policemen escorting
him and savagely tried to kill them.
All efforts to pacify him were of no
avail, so he was taken back to the
prison after it was determined that he
was ugly tempered and not insane. His
mother visited him at the prison and
stated that he had several times threat
ened her life. The report of the Insan-
ity Commissioners on the boys case
showed that he was an incorrfgible,
made so by tender treatment from
loving mother. A severe course of dis
cipline was mapped out for the youth.
but his mother falling to follow it has
again to see him in trouble.

Authentic Information Re-

FAVORABLE ANSWER
is EXPECTED SOON
Action of Guilds of China,
Said to Be Against Goods
of American Make, Causes
the Dealers Some Concern

President Roosevelt has been. requested
by business men of San Francisco to in
struct Mr. Rockhill American Minister
to China. to investigate and report all the
facts relating to the boycott OF Ameri-
can products by guilds in China
A telegram has been sent to the Presi-
dent making the request, and favorable
answer is expected to come by mail
promptly. The 6ispatcn to the President
was sent by the Merchants Exchange of
this city, which has also taken the lead
to have a meeting in .liis city to discuss
the boycott and probably to adopt resolu-
tions or take action.
President Roosevelt will probably not
answer by wire At least that is the i'm
preston among members of the Mer-
chants Exchange Some days may be
required for Minister Rockhill to look
into the facts at Peking and possibly to
gather information from other Chinese
points. At Peking 1t can be learned
whether the boycott has official sanction.
This has been denied Merchants wish to
know the exact fact in this regard.
At various commercial ports in China
action on the part of Chinese guilds has
been reported in the direction Of dis
elimination against American products.
The American conSuls at these ports can
be called on to furnish to Minister Rock
hill all the information they are able to
gather. Then a better understanding of
the entire matter. can be had by the COM
mercial people who are interested in ex-
porting to the Orient.
1t was reported yesterday by E. r.
Liienthal Of the Merchants Exchange
that not only orders to buy American
goods have been revoked but that also
contracts for the future have been set
aside. Mr.. Lilienthal said that the meet
ing to be called by the Merchants Ex-
change will probably be held next Friday
afternoon. All commercial bodies in the
city will be invited to send representa-
tives. Notice will be given in time for all
to attend who are interested.

their services to the boss.
Many of the liquor dealers are COM

better to have high license outright ana

do business free from political eXtor-

grafters are as bold as highwaymen.
