Quietly Working Preparatory to Ar
rival of Assistant Secretary.
The presence at the Palace Hotel for
the last five days of Thomas E. Rogers
and G. c. Bantz, special agents of the
United States Treasury Department at
Washington. has given rise to much Spec
ulation among the Federal officials as 10
what the mission Of the visitors is Every
effort 20 gain from the two agents in
formation as to the purposes of their
visit has been futile, for they decline to
talk and have kept aloof from the local
officials of the Government since their ar
rival here.
1t was learned yesterday from a reliable
source, however, that they are quietly
investigating certain phases of the coli
lection of customs at this and other Cali
fornia ports, and have also been looking
into the recent reported discrimination
In duties applied to importations of ORR
entail goods. 1t was also learned yester-
day that Charles Hallcm Keep, assistant
secretary of the Treasury, who has a
great deal to do with the Custon-house

STRIKE HA[TS
WITH A TRUCE
Temporary Armistice in
Chicago Conflict Gives
Foes a Breathing Spell
LEADERS WANT ADVICE
Teamsters Will Await the
Arrival of Officers of the
International Brotherhood

CHICAGO, May 15.-A practical armis-
tice in the teamsters strike was declared
tonight. to last until the officers of the
International Brotherhood Of Teamsters
meet here. either on Wednesday OF
Thursday of this week.
At a meeting of the teamsters' Joint
council tonight to reconsider the action
of Saturday night, when 1t was decided
to refuse the demand of the Team Own
ers' Association that deliveries be made
to houses where strikes exist, the mem
bers of the council reaffirmed their stand
and decided that they could not accede
to the demands of the Team Owners AS
ISOLATION.
The Lumbermen's Association tonight
passed a resolution calling on the team
sters to define their position as to what
might be expected when the lumber firms
of the city called upon them to make
deliveries. The association declared that
1t was In favor of making de-
liveries, irrespective of the strike, and an
nounced that drivers who refused to de-
liver goods as ordered would be dis
charged. The lumber concerns repre-
sented at the meeting employ 1900 team
sters, and a strike of these would mean
great embarrassment to the building op-
erations in the city.
The employers to-day operated 1000
wagons, practically without injury, many
of the deliveries in the resident portion
Of the city being without police protec-
ton. 1t is asserted that the number of
wagons in service to-day will be increased
by $50 tomorrow and that this ratio will
be continued until the full number OF
wagons is in service again.

DISTRICT WORK
IS TAKEN Up
Republican League Listens
to Party Representatives
From the 18th and 10Th
MANY CITIZENS ATTEND
Leaders Plans to Organize
for the Coming Campaign
Interesting the Voters

The organization committee Of the San
Francisco Republican League met at
general headquarters, 63s Market street,
last evening George D. Clark, chair
man; D. A Ryan, secretary; Richard j.
Welch, David Rich. John s. Partridge,
John D. DAILY, E. ]. Bowes and John
Lackman attended the session. Many ac-
cessions to the league membership were
reported.
Considerable time was devoted to the
discussion Of affairs regarding organi-
zation of the forces in the Twenty eighth
and Twenty-ninth Assembly districts. A
delegation of fifty citizens from the
Twenty-eighth was listened to. Views
touching the political situation in the dis
trict were presented by William Har-
rington, B. L. Conlan, Charles r. Frank
lin, Richard Grimes, Walter Larsen, Pc
ter Kelly, Harry Peterson, DR.. t. w.
Connolly, Charles Mckay and Patrick
Sheehy. from a long list of available
Republicans the committee will select ten
or twelve men to act as the district or
ganization committee. The names of ia
cob Levi Jr., George M. Pinney and
Colonel ]. c. Kirkpatrick were submitted
by William Harrington and B. l.. Conlan.
Peter Kelly also made recommendations,
but ii is said that only two precincts
were recognized in his list. Some clever
work in the way of promoting harmony
may be required in order to bring into
one camp the followers of Harrington,
Conlan. Franklin and Kelly.
The supporters of ex-Assemblyman
Franklin embrace many of Martin Kelly s
old-time followers. The John C. Lynch
and Jere Burke elements of the district
are represented by Peter Kelly. The
straight out Republicans generally line
up with Harrington.
The Twenty-ninth District was repre-
scented last night by Leon Samuels, Rich
ard Cox, Jere Collins and others. 1t is
understood that Jack Mcnamara will
take the Ruef end of the fight in the
Twenty ninth.
Representatives of other districts will
be heard tonight. Promoters of the
movement for better municipal govern
ment appreciate the Importance Of dis
trict work. hence ample time will be
taken to consider the recommendations. 1t
is the leagues idea that all the elements
of good citizenship should be represented
in the district organizations.
The services of capable public-spirited
men are desired. 1t would be an easy
matter to select ten men offhand for
each district If the league promoters
were creating an organization for their
own special benefit. but as the purpose
of the movement is to help the city to
better government, the fact is recognized
that the masses of the people in each
district must be consulted and their
wishes considered. A large committee in
eac-. district Is provided SO that all fac
tions may have representation
1t is probable that Chairman George D.
Clark will be able this evening to an
nounce the finance committee of forty
citizens

DR.. Hinson Delivers Some
Crisp Advice Suggesting
Sunshine in Ones Life
TALKS OF IMPRUDENCE
Distinguished Divine Holds
That the Abuse of the
Millionaire Is Unwise

Baptists of San Francisco to the num-
Der of 300 met last night around the ban
ouet board at the Puritan. 1t was prob
ably the largest social gathering of the
kind ever held by this denomination in
this city. The cause was the welcoming
of the Rev. Frank L. Norton, newly
elected superintendent of the San Fran
cisco Baptist City Mission Society
The Rev. Louis j. Sawyer, pastor of
Hamilton Square Baptist Church, presid-
ed The orchestra of the Third Church
olscoursed the music and Mrs. Richard
Bayne rendered vocal selections
The Rev. W. e. Hinson, d. D.. in de-
lIVerlng the Introductory address, said
many bright and witty things, as well as
offering most serious advice. He said in
part:
The Baptist denomination should be
second to none of the denominations OF
Christendom, but to giva it such stand
ing you must take the Baptist denomina-
ton seriously, especially since you hold a
heritage beyond description. Other de-
nominations will say that the difference
between them and the Baptist is the use
of the water in baptism. but it is not the
water between US. We do not stand mere
ly for water, but for individualism. The
great thing which differentiates us from
all other denominations is that individual
ism and water has nothing to do with ii.
"Baptists must be close to the common
people. 1t has been said that we haven't
many millionaires in our denomination
Now, | don't think the abuse of million
aires wise There has been much said
about Mr.. Rockefeller, but those people
who so speak VIII live to get old and as
they grow older will become wiser. Bap-
lists won't suffer so much from the lack
of millionaires as by getting away from
the heart of the common people.
Friends, we ought to get where the
Lord is down among the people. / can
tell you I'd rather preach in a big livery
stable among the people than in a ca
thedraL
There has been enough said about capt.
tai and labor and the eulogizing of So
ciety and the condemnation of the mil
lionaire. Such subjects from the pulpit
may I'LL the church once, but after that
il is empty.
Don't be pessimistic; be optimistic; take
a big dose Of optimism: stand on two
feet like men: live what you profess and
what you preach and the city will give
you hearing and a welcome.
Get the fog out of your throats and
swallow the sunshine; get back to old Job
and say. We are the people. and drive
pessimism out of your church life
II recently knew of a colored Baptist
SchSifSdIOli, CouNil, dispensing With the
service of their pastor and when asked
the cause the reply was, for good and
sufficient reason 1t was told later that
the reason was because the pastor didn't
preach 'happyfying sermons.
THAT is right-preach 'happyfying'
sermons; don't be pessimistic"
Mr. Norton, when called upon, was
greeted with tumultuous applause He
gave some idea of the work of the future
and told of the opening at o'clock Sun
day morning next Of new Sunday school
al Haight and Shrader streets, to which
all were invited.

Men Who Are Leading Anti-Strfkc
Forces Engage Bodyguards.
CHICAGO, May 15.-Fully 100 letters
threatening death have been received by
a half dozen men who have been given
wide. publicity as managers of the en-
ployers' end of the teamsters' strike and
serious consideration is being given them
since the exposures made by the confess
sion of a hired thug at the Harrison
street station to-day. Bodyguards are
now attending all the principals day and
night.
Association and Robert J. Thorn of Mont
gomery Ward and Co. admitted to-day
having received many kinds Of threats.
Attorney Alfred s. Austrian, when asked
as to the rights of such bodyguards, said:
st is the duty of even a bystander to
prevent an assault upon any person with
in his sight, though he may not know
the assailed and prevent injury to him
by any means his judgment prescribes
even to killing the assailant. 1t is clear
that these guards are lawfully author
lied to protect those whom they guard in
the most feasible manner they deem flt.''

Quit Their Desks.

CHICAGO, May 15-Six of the larger
public schools in Chicago were threatened
with tieup to-day by a sympathetic
strike" of hundreds of children protesting
against the delivery of coal to the build
ings by non-union teamsters. Riotous
scenes occurred and Juvenile pickets kept

school. 500 pupils out; Carpenter school,
400 pupils out; Herman Raster school, 400
pupils out
Other schools where strikes are in pro-
gress are: Hendricks school and Carter
H, Harrison school.
At several of the schools 1t was seen
that older persons were urging the chill
dren to keep up their strike because
of the delivery of non-union coal. Many
parents OF younger children in the prf-
mary grades went TO the school and took
their children home. fearing they would
be injured by the strikers" Riot calls
We're sent in from the Hendricks and Car
penter schools. Several arrests were
made.
