REGULARS WIN
AFTER HOT FIGHT
Stormy Session of c. S. Re-
tirement Association.
REFoRMERS MAY SPLIT
Rulings of the Reelected President,
Jacob w. Starr, Cause Uproar
at Election of Officers.

After a session of four hours. the
regulars" of the United States Civil
Service Retirement Association elected
officers for the coming year at the
meeting Of the national association at
the Pythian Temple last night. Jacob
w. Starr. the retiring president. pre-
sided. He evidently remembered the
strife of one year ago at the c. a. r.
Hall. and ruled last nights meeting
with a firm hand. He was declared
unanimously reelected.
Arrayed against Mr.. Starr and the
regulars" was a band of ''reformers, ="
headed by DR.. -Llewellyn Jordan The
''reformers" had for their candidate for
president B. II. Warner. When this
became definitely known. the fight be-
tween the organization and would-be
organizers showed form. 1t began with
the naming of a committee on creden-
tals. the chair appointing NJ F. O'Don-
oghue. Dr. Jordan. and John Mccarthy
rs the committee.
The ''reformers" then set I'D a claim
for fair play and orderly procedure.
AT one time there was an attempt made
10 adjourn the meeting without ac-
1ion- In a iiffy a dozen were on the
hoor making points of order" zap
peals,' motions of inquiry" and nearly
every phrase used in parliamentary
practice. Finally S. l. Besseleivere OBJ
tained the floor and urged order. He
then took a position on the presiding
officers platform and practically ran
the meeting for the next two hours.
Dr. Jordan submitted a score Of
amendments TO the constitution, broad
ening the scope Of the organization, for
TO win the presidency for a person out
side the regular organization the con-
stitution would have to be changed.
Mr. Starr then ruled the amendments
TO the table. He also ruled out of order
the 2,79l proxies held by the reform
ers-' The regulars then cast their
proxies, 1928 votes in all. and the regu-
lar ticket was declared unanimously
reelected as follows:
Jacob w Starr, president; Robert
Armour, first vice president; S Z.
Faunce. second vice president; Mrs.
Jennie l. Monroe, third vice president
David d. Caldwell, secretary; Henry c.
Swan, treasurer.
When Mr.. Starr ruled the reform
ers, which was principally made up of
the Treasury branch organization, out
or order, the meeting broke up. Kisses
and undertOne charges Of unfairness by
the chair were made. A movement was
born to establish a separate orSanIza-
ton out of the Treasury branch and
other sympathizers- a meeting will be
held In the next few days to take de-
finite action in this respect.

SAN FRANCISCO, May At seems
as if fate left nothing undone for the
destruction of San Francisco when it
brought an earthquake to start a fire
and break the water mains and at the
same time sent Chief Sullivan of the
Fire Department, crushed by debris, to
his deathbed. Developments lead to
the belief that had Chief Sullivan been
alive the city might not have Jared
50 badly, not so much because of his
well-knOwn ability as a frefighter, for
perhaps no man could have stayed the
flames under ordinary circumstances,
but because he had prepared plans for
the battle against the flames in case
of just such a horror as came to pass.
To several people during his life
time Chief Sullivan impaired the In
formation that he believed San Fran
cisco would some day get a quake that
would disrupt the water mains and
that in that he had mapped out the
fight he would make in case such a

temblor ever came. Among those to
whom he spoke about this was Clar-
ence Waterhouse, the horseman.
"Only last summer up at Shasta the
chsef was taking about the possibility
of an earthquake that would start a
confiagration in San Francisco and at
the same time break the mains and
shut off the water supply" said Wa
terhouse yesterday He said he be-
lieved there would be such a quake
one day and that the only salvation
of the city would be dynamite. He
said he had figured out just what
buildings and blocks he would dyna-
mite, according to which direction the
fire was sweeping. He had a diagram
prepared where it was no one knew,
for the chief was never in condi-
ton to tell after being injured.
