A brief discussion arose over the Sc
lection of a name for the organization.
1t was argued that there being already
two Republican leagues that have in
fiuenced voters, a third might cause
confusion. Fairfax Wheelan spoke
strongly against changing the organi-
zation's name, saying that the voters
must learn to vote by the names of the
candidates. The motion to refer the
matter to the organization committee
was finally passed.
Before adjournment the chairman
announced the makeup Of the commit
tee on organization, as follows: George
D. Clark, chairman, ex-officio; Daniel
A. Ryan. secretary, ex-off1cio; John d.
DAILY, David Rich, E. ]. Bowes, John
Lachmann, Fairfax H. Wheelan, Rich
ard j. Welch and James A. Wilson.
At the next meeting of the league the
chairman will appoint the finance COM
mittee of forty members. The COM
mittee of ten from each Assembly dis
trict will be named In due time.
George D. Clark, permanent chairman
of the league, is a merchant and an
active worker in politics. He was elect
In 1901 and served with credit to him
self and the club. He is prominent in
knight Templarism. He took an active
part in the work of preparation for the
last conclave in San Francisco.
Daniel A. Ryan, secretary, is an elo-
quent lawyer and a prominent Native
Son. For many years he was asso-
ciated with the late General w. H. l.

behooves us to have the spirit, such as
emanated from Fairfax Wheelan as he
stood upon the platform. Let us hus-
tie, work, use every energy, so that
San Francisco may once more raise
and hold her head among the cities that
have dignity. honesty and decency.'
John Lackman then proposed that a
committee of forty be appointed to
constitute finance committee. These
will be named by Chairman Clark. w.
r. Wheeler moved that a committee
of nine be appointed as an organization
committee The resolution was amend
ed on motion of John D. DAILY so that
committee of ten or more from each
Assembly district be appointed with
power to add to their number at their
own discretion.
Fairfax Wheelan then proposed the
address to voters, which was adopted.
CORRUPTION is RAMPANT.
On the motion of Clifford Mcclellan
a committee on platform to be COM
posed of eighteen members was left
to the chair for appointment. Follow
ing this business of organization. H.
d. Loveland was introduced and spoke
briefly Of the work of reform through
out the history of politics. He said
that all unh ealthy conditions caused
agitations for reform and desire for
betterment and that the present condi-
tion OF civic government in San Fran
CISCO must necessarily raise the ef-
forts of voters to do away with the
| malodorous conditions.
The methods as to how and when
the voters must do this will depend
upon their capability and honesty of
purpose he continued The city at
present is infected with graft, dishon-
esty and debauchery. The purity of
the ballot has been defiled and there
are men to-day awaiting States prison
garb who were weakly prevailed upon
to do the dishonest bidding OF a po-
litical boss at the polls. 1t is evil
dent in the attitude OF the admins
tration toward that stalwart Republi-
can, Auditor Baehr, who Is threatened
with dismissal for supplying funds to
the Grand Jury to aid 1t in seeking out
corruption, that the honest man has
small room in San Franchises official
life to-day
Every man who does not vote is
responsible for these conditions. In

who will put their shoulders to the

a review of the conditions south of

the Prevailing Conditions

RENO, April 15.-The citizens of
Tonopah have got down to work and
the disease that has been rampant
there is now under complete control.
All danger is said to have passed.
Such in brief tells the story of the
news that has filtered out from the
mining camp to-day. Reno Is filed
with hundreds awaiting for the OFF,
cial news to come that sickness is not
prevalent there.
Thus far no official report of con-
ditions~ have been received. Governor
Sparks this morning delegated DR.. Lee
as State Commissioner to go into
the camp and devise such methods as
he deems ft to combat with the
malady.
The train from the camp, arriving
here tonight. brought out several
carloads of people. The crowds are
not going away, but are waiting In
Reno and surrounding towns until
conditions get better. Fear is gradu-
ally becoming less and before many
days it is thought the inward rush will
again start. So far as could be learned
no deaths occurred in Tonopah to-day
TONOPAH, New, April 15.-Reports
published in the newspapers all over
the coast about health conditions Of
Tonopah are greatly exaggerated
There have been only eighteen deaths
thus far in April; fifteen from pneu-
monia with complications, and three
from other causes. There were only
twenty four deaths in March; eight of
which were from natural causes. The
town is being cleaned up and disin-
fected. The residents are not alarmed.
and business is going on as usual. The
false reports emanated from Reno.

After the alleged fleeing Of the pub

OF Minneapolis, was held up in his oper-

Postoffiee Department. Vaughan was at
one time an employee OF The department.
Two years ago It was discovered that
he was heavily In debt here, and was
given his preference Of resigning or
being dismissed. He resigned, but en-

he saw that, failure was certain, he

and resemble sheds under which trains
stop in railroad stations. Seventy-five
or 100 Italians slept in each one. over
the heads of the co.'s are small shelves
on which lamps or boxes are kept. At
the foot of the cots the trunks are
kept. There are rows of cots on either
side OF the shacks.
When the whistles started blowing and
the flames were roaring the inmates of
the novels awoke and saw the bright
light through the small windows about
one foot square. The majority of the
iaborers caroused until midnight or later
and threw themselves on their cots fully
clothed. All the most of them had TO do
was to roll out of bed, and they were
ready for work. Several of them rushed

sleeping and they Immediately arose.

Orini, an Italian, who has been de-

were raging fiercest In the shack where
