Tim r. Sullivan, chairman Of the ex-
ecutivc committee of the United Labor
League. last night presented each of the
district captains orders for the purpose
of carrying on a systematic fight against
the Ruef organization at the polls to-
day. The offices at Eddy street were
crowded with honest voters anxious TO do
their duty in suppressing the evils here
tofore attending municipal elections.
Instructions were given to voters IN
precincts in every one of the Assembly
districts TO be present at the scenes of
balloting so as to prevent the frauds.
Men of honesty and influence will turn
out, making 1t certainty that the Ruef
crowd will be watched carefully.
Many union men about the headquar-
ters were heard to denounce the actions
of P. H. Mccarthy in welding his influ-
ence for, Schmitz during this campaign,
when he was so violently opposed to him
last time.
They tried to throw me out, but
couldn't. They circulated Infamous lies
concerning my actions in this campaign,
but 1 am back here doing my best to

r. Sullivan last night, speaking Of the
Ruef-McCarthy efforts to injure him with
the union men.

maintains in posing as a friend OF the
unions shall be exposed and he be made
to see that they understand his dirty

ing that in labor and material the county

leveled against them is unjust, and that,
while there are some minor elements of

themselves a responsibility that belongs
to the Election Board.
A set of resolutions was unanimously
adopted faying the Grand Jury for its
action in the alleged interference with
the affairs of the commissioners. All
Grand Jury spoilers and alleged political
workers are warned not TO intimidate
any voters within 100 feet Of the polls at
the primaries to-day.
This warning may mean trouble, for
the Grand Jury has large force OF men
under it's command at the present time
who are supposed to look out for things
to-day These man are called watch
ers" and are supplied with badges de-
noting their Office.
When the question of the voters at
the Almshouse was raised
lengthy discussion was the re-
suit 1t was in this precinct that all
the trouble occurred at the last pri-
mary election and the Grand Jury has
paid special attention to registration
there since that time. The Election
Board decided that all voters who have
been inmates of the place for the last
thirty days are entitled to vote to-day.
MAY LOSE THEIR VOTES.
Inmates and employees who have
registered from this precinct but who
have left there within the last thirty
days will not be entitled to vote should
they return there to-day and try to cast
their ballots If these men are not
registered in any other precinct 1t looks
very much as though they will lose
their votes for keeps, as the Election

SAN JOSE, Aug. 7.-As the result of a
small riot in the meeting place of the
Holy Jumpers last night A. F. Ingler, the
pastor of the Jumpere, appeared before
City Justice Dawson this morning and
charged Alton l.. Thompson with using

came necessary to call in the police
Kline had gone down into the audience
to stop disturbance when he was knock
ed down. James II. Howell, the leader of
the Jumpers, detied any one to attack him
and said that the Lord would not allow
any one to place a foot upon the plat
form. There was a rush from the audi
ence toward the speaker and Howell and
other members of the sect sought refuge
through the back door. After some time
the police succeeded in quieting the trou-

Thompson pleaded not guilty to the
charge placed against him and demanded

The Board Of Election Commissioners
had it's inning yesterday afternoon and
after f1aying Thomas P. Andrews and
the other members of the Grand Jury
for "butting into its affairs" declared
that the inmates of the Almshouse are
eligible to vote at the primary election
to-day.
The action of the Grand Jury several
days ago of declaring many election Of
ficers appointed by the Election Commis-
sioners not eligible reused the later body
to action and a special meeting was call
ed for yesterday afternoon at the City
Hall to plan ways and means to offset
the action of the Grand Jury. The men
declared not eligible by the Grand Jury

the members of the Grand Jury Of doing
politics in the interest of the United Re-

claim they are the only persons who have

it will create trouble. The commission

ANTI-TRADING STAMP LAW
KNOCKED OUT IN SEATTLE
Federal Court Holds That 1t Prevents
Competition and Also Re-
straink Trade.

SEATTLE, Aug. Federal Judge Han
ford to-day knocked out the State law
prohibiting the sale of trading stamps.
He held the act to be unconstitutional.
The decision was handed down in the
habeas corpus proceedings brought by
Ernest Hutchinson, who had been in
formed against in the Superior Court.
In his decision Judge Hanford said
that while the Federal courts hesitated
to act upon questions affecting States,
this was clearly an act that prevented
legitimate competition and was in re-
straint of trade. On these grounds the
court held the law to be unconstitutional
and ordered Hutchinson discharged.
