c. d. Swan, chairman, Modesto, CAL:
Talk for rebuilding of San Francisco

of the malodorous reputation the city

try from the constant and continual
reports and charges OF graft by the
authorities, the demagogic outbursts
Of such persons as Mccarthy Tveit-
moe and several of the municipal Of
fieials accusing those who oppose them
OF all sorts of crimes, the driving of
the Mccarthy labor union organization

Refer in your own way to Ruef and

with graft as investigation is on and
the people, although aroused and hu-
inflated. yet Withhold judgment until
the courts have decided. Make
straightforward statement of facts
stating If you are elected governor you
VIII do all in your power, If the con-
dition exists, to help restore the fair
name of San Francisco 7 suggest tbot
your course will not be an attack on
labor unionism or on it's members. but
their leaders. The above are sugges-
tions to me and l am not afraid to as
sumo my share of the responsibility.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The two can
didates for governor of New York,
Charles e. Hughes and w. R. Hearst,
rested today after their campaigning
last week.
Both are scheduled for a number of
speeches tomorrow in Manhattan and
1t will probably be late in the night
before election before they will have
made their final appeals to the voters.
Charles E. Hughes, the Republican
candidate, spent the day quietly.
Chairman Woodruff of the State Re-
publican committee, was at headquar-
ters for short time, but had nothing
to say on the probable result of Tues
days vote further than to reiterate
his confidence in the election of Mr.
Hughes.
The usual Sunday before election
gathering was held in Harlem by
Tammany Speakers included Con-
Burton Harrison. Mr.. Cochran said
he believed the political movement
headed by Mr.. Hearst to be inspired by
God and therefore irresistible.
A messenger sent to the home of Mr..
Hearst with the request that he ad-
dress the meeting, returned with the
reply that the candidate would not
under any circumstances address a
Sunday meeting.
Hearst Remains at Home
William r. Hearst, the Democra tic
Independence league candidate, re-
manned at home all day and denied
himself to all callers. His campaign
manage have arranged for him to ap-
pear at several meetings tomorrow.
Election officials and the police de-
partment are making preparations to
prevent frauds and to maintain order.
Superintendent of Elections Morgan
today issued a statement of his election
day plans, in which he says his de-
partment is working in conjunction
with the police department and the
attorney generals office to prevent
frauds.
commissioner Bingham has caused
the police to investigate every name
registered and deputies have done SINH
lar work." said Superintendent Nor
gan. "The police and the deputies will
have the evidence ready In each case
found to have been fraudulently regis
tered and arrest will be made at once,
and in the police court lawyers from
the district attorneys office and the
bureau of identification will be pres
ent, equipped with the complete evil
dence in each case.
1--WE have ten thousand orders of ar
rest made out and ready to serve in
these cases"
The judiciary nominators today in
troduced final appeal in behalf of
their Independent ticket for judges.
The association to prevent corrupt
practices at elections, of which Seth
Low is president, announced they had
retained counsel to represent 1t in pro-
ceedings in New York county.
w. r. Hearst's only political work
today was his address at two gather
ings of Independence league election
day watchers at the polls, one in
Brooklyn and the other in Madison

HAVENARROW
ESCAPE FROM
DROWNING

Attorney Earl Rogers and Fire Chief
Walter Lips narrowly escaped drown
ing in the plunge of the Venice bath
house yesterday afternoon.
Rogers and Lips with other members
Of party were bathing in the plunge.
Both are fairly good swimmers, Dut for
some reason which Mr.. Rogers has not
explained he found himself in water
beyond his depth and was unable to
keep himself afloat. He called loudly
for help and Lips who was teaching
one of the women OF the party how to
swim, heard his cries. He could not
believe that Rogers was in any dan
ger until he saw him going under the
water for the second. time. Realizing
that his friends situation was serious
he tried to swim to his assistance but
as soon as he struck deep water he, too,
began floundering about and calling for
help.
Seeing the plight of the two, Jake
Cox, the professional swimmer en-
ployed at the bathhouse, jumped into
the plunge and rescued first Rogers,
then Lips, carrying them both to the
edge of the pool
Neither had been rendered uncon-
scious, but each had swallowed a
quantity of the water and it is certain
that but for the timely assistance of
the life saver both would have been
drowned.
Soon. after they were revived they at
tended the band concert at the audi
trium and both asserted they felt no

using it, with probably the Chicago &

Mr. Hartman and James Stillman

the Baltimore e. Ohio, and presuma bly,
with others members of the Union Pa

more a Ohio stock recently sold by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company to
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. has been disposed of
by the banking house to Union Pacific
interests. The Pennsylvania at the be-
ginning of the year owned directly $780,

OF the Baltimore & Ohio and held
through its control i'm the company
$11.9S6,60O of that stock. taking com
mon and preferred together. These
holdings aggregated 1873, 900 or near
~ 40 per cent of the total stock of the

stood that the holdings disposed of to
