REVOLUTION is THEME
OF NOVELIST LONDON
Socialists Hear Author Tell of the
Oppression of Labor by
Capital.

Jack London. the noted author and
student of socialism, addressed a
large gathering at the Alhambra
Theater last night on Revolution"
The address was delivered under the
auspices of the local Socialist Society,
and London's remarks brought forth
rounds of applause, though the speech
was not as fiery and stirring as those
generally heard at such ssemblages.
London opened his talk by referring
to the American Revolution and the
triumph of the Continental army. He
gradually drifted to the trouble ex-
listing in the Russian empire and told
of the way in which the oppressed
there were fighting for their rights
and how they were abused, malterated
and killed by order of powerful Min
listers. When London referred to the
assassination of the officials who had
oppressed the people 1t was the sig
nal for the first real outbreak of ap-
plause.
The speaker gradually forsook his
topic for long time in order to quote
various statistics and facts regarding
the condition of labor and capital in
this country to-day. He referred to
the reports of the United States Gov
ernment on these issues, and cited
many incidents showing how child
labor is being used by capitalists for
their own gain, even though thou
sands of lives are sacrificed.

PICNICKERS STUMBLE
OVER BODY OF SUICIDE
Despondent Ex-Soldier Fires Bullet
Into His Brain on Stairway at
SutrO Hef0hfs

Startled by pistol shot a crowd OF
sight at Sutro Heights hurriedly
descended the stairs of the observatory
there and found a man lying across the
. bottom steps with a revolver clutched
in his hand. He had fired bullet into
his brain.
An ambulance was summoned and
the man was taken to the Park Emer-
gency Hospital, where he died at few
hours later. The man is supposed to
be Frank Fon, an ex-soldier. A hand
kerchief with that name embroidered
upon it was found in the coat pocket
of khaki suit he wore.
The man was seen early in the after
noon wandering about the heights in an
aimless fashion. He finally sat down at
the foot Of the stairway and brooded
for some time with his head in his
hands. Poverty is supposed to have
been the motive of the deed as no
money was found on him. The pick
nickers almost stumbled over the sui
eide as they hurried down the stair
way.

CROSSES LANCE
WITH DR.. OSLER
Rev. G.. White Characterizes
Medico's Recommendation
as Pagan in It's Nature
Man GAINS AT SIXTY
Divine Holds That at a
Ripe Age One Attains
to That Which Is Best

DR.. Osler's "half-jest, half-serious'
propaganda as to mans unusefulness
after attaining his sixtieth year was
the theme of~a sermon by the Rev.
George w. White, D. D., last night at
the Central Methodist Episcopal
Church.
DR.. White said that DR.. Osler's senti-
ment was similar to the pagan princi-
pies of exposing deformed children and
helpless old people that they might be
put to death by wild beasts. He did
not hesitate to say that to judge or the
worth of life by the years OF its physi-
cal or material strength was great
mistake and a pagan principle.
A man who lives as God has planned
finds his later years his best After the
years of passion and appetite and greed
had passed away, said the speaker, ne
really began to live in the best sense.
DR.. White said that the spiritual de-
velopment was of the highest value.
and to secure that for his later years a
man must begin in his youth. That
point. he said, gave the force to the
scriptural injunction ITO remember thy
Creator in the days of thy youth"
He understood that DR.. Osler had re-
marked that what he had said was half
in jest, but his remarks had been taken
seriously by the people of the land,
therefore it was a topic worthy of dis
cuSsion.
The only standpoint from which such
conclusion could be reached, said Dr.
White. was the materialistic one, but
from the standpoint of a spiritual life
and spiritual growth the years after 90
were the best in mans life.

NORRIS LEVY
Is INDIGNANT
Hayes Valley Club Manager
Declares His Organization
Has Genuine Membership
CAN SHOW THE RECORDS
Magnate Will Overwhelm
the Supervisors With Lit
eratlre to Convince Them

Morris Levy is busy these DAYS
hauling the archives of the Hayes
Valley Athletic Club out of the law
ender-scented trunks in the garrett
Morris has the dope, the real dope, he
asserts. to prove that the Hayes VAL
ley Athletic Club is bona fide, simon
pure lS-karat amateur association.
Me bribe a Supervisor? 2" exclaimed
the dapper manager with a look of
panied surprise in his countenance.
Quit your kidding. The Supervisors
and everybody else in this burg know
tnat l am on the square"
Levy has sorted out over 200 appli-
cations for membership in his club.
All Sorts or professions are on the list,
from BARRIERS to capitalists.
Why, mine is the only club that
is a club" he declared. IF they want
to ind something shady in the boxing
line, there may be a chance, but not
with the Hayes Valley Club"
The subject of medals that could
be converted into real money was
broached.
I'VE only give medals" said Morris,
and We don't redeem them even at a
discount. Hereafter l am going to
have the boys stick up their trophies
In some cigar store, where they can be
seen
Were going to have a show pretty
soon," he continued, "and Sam Berger
is going to box for a medal-just
plain medal No, I'm not trying to
string you. You listen to me. Sam
Berger is going to box for a medal,
and that's all he will get, too."
The Hayes Valley manager has
enough documentary evidence to stock
a library. He will charter a few ex-
press wagons to-day and cart all the
literature accumulated by the club to
the Supervisors. There is enough of
1t to make them throw up their hands.
Morris blames some of his troubles
to Eddie Graney. The village black
smith has been giving dissertations on
amateur prizefights to the Grand
jury Il suppose he tried to knock
me-" remarked Levy. But he has
nothing on me. / am on the square.
The Hayes Valley Athletic Club is
bona fide club. We have a club
house in Mowry's Hall and a boxing
annex at Woodward's Pavilion. If the
Grand Jury is looking for phoney
clubs they can find them easily
enough"
