SUPERVISORS TOLD
Of RUEFS PLAN

Dumb with the shameful realization
that they have been traitors to their
former fgurehead, Mayor Schmitz, and
have gone over to Ruef TO do his bid
ding in the spur track matter, the
members Of the Board of Supervisors
who attended the caucus last night
passed silently out of Hamilton Hall.
Ruef was present at the meeting and
rehearsed the Supervisors in the parts
they are TO play today when Rea's
resolution. introduced to injure the
Southern Pacific Company and deprive
the Hartman corporation of track
privileges. comes up for passage
Ruef figures that Herrin has been
good to Schmitz at the expense of
Ruef. He sees where he has been jet
tisoned in a desperate attempt to save
the ship and he does not like the ex-
perience. There was time when
Ruef was considered the most IMPORT
ant part Of the cargo carried by the
administration, but Herrin feels that
hope now lies alone with Schmitz-
So last night the details Of the re-
venge were carefully explained to the
Supervisors and this week the spur
track coup viii go through with a
rush

CHINA To ORGANIZE
EFFECTIVE ARMY

One of the effects of the military
success Of japan upon China has been
to awaken a military spirit among the
Chinese. This is evident in the organ
ization of an army and it's training in
Western methods of discipline. Though
as yet the new military establishment
is not very extensive, it constitutes a
nucleus which may develop into for
midable proportions
When we consider the vast popula-
tion of the Chinese empire it is easy
to understand that there could be Gre
ated there the largest army in the
world without withdrawing from the
agricultural or other industries sufi-
cient number of men to in the least
embarrass any interest. China would
find no difficulty in maintaining a mil
itary establishment with 100000 SOL
diers.
The maneuvers of the new army have
attracted the earnest attention of the
Western powers, which sent military
experts to observe what has thus far
been accomplished by China in the
work Of organizing and building UP a
military establishment. In this task
the Government has called into it's
service outside military talent and ex-
perience.
Japan has supplied a number of off,
GERS and instructors to the new Chinese
army, and there are some from other
countries. The rank and file is COM
posed of men carefully selected, and
they have been subjected to a thorough
system of discipline. There is no rea-
son to doubt that they will make ex-
ceIlent soldiers.
The military awakening of China is
regarded by some as portentous 1t is
thought to have been prompted by the
sentiment which has been much pro-
claimed since the close of the Far
Eastern war, Asia for the Asiatics,' .
and to indicate a purpose to make the
sentiment effective. Whether or not
there is substantial ground for this
view, there can be no doubt that it is
the purpose Of China to be prepared
for self-protection in future.
She has had sufficient experience in
foreign invasion and spoliation Of her
territory to realize the necessity of
being ready to resist aggression and
safeguard her rights and interests. She
has had impressive lessons of the greed
and covetousness of other powers, and
preparation in order to make secure
her independence and preserve her ter
ritorial integrity.
There is little II any reason for ap-
prehension that Chinas military awak-
ening may prove a danger to other
powers. That empire has no ambition
for conquest. 1t does not desire to ex-
tend its boundaries or acquire outside
possessions.
1t has, to be let alone, and to be on
friendly terms with all nations. She
realizes that in order to have these
conditions she must be prepared for
self-defense, and she has adopted this
policy none too soon.-Chicago Journal

CHAMPION APPLE PICKER

How many apples can a man pick in
one day? It was stated that George
Binkley Of Potter picked fifty barrels,
or $50 bushels, In a day. The statement
was generally doubted or disputed at
the time.
The following are the facts as given
by William Bell of Mount Pleasant, in
whose orchard the picking was done:
Binkley picked Bells apples, which
were assorted and packed as fast as
they were picked. From one days
picking just forty barrels OF sound ap-
pies were packed. The culls were not
measured, but Bell believes that they
comprised nearly one-third of the ap-
pies picked, SO that the number of bar
rels picked by Binkley in one day was
between fifty and sixty.
That BinkIey picked $50 bushels in a
day may be accepted as fact. He
picked the trees clean as he went, using
a picking sack and ladder.-Porter

WICKED JOHANNESBURG

Miss Agnes e. Slack of London, SEQ
retary Of the Worlds Christian Tenn
perance Union, said that Johannesburg
is about the wickedest spot on earth.
The very air there seemed to her
charged with the fever of accumu-
lating wealth from the gold mines, and
society from top to bottom is disheart-
eningly sordid- In the Dutch districts,
where the people make their living
growing grapes for the wine markets
of Europe, she said the negroes are
generally paid part of their wages in
intoxicants, with the result that they
all become beastly drunk several times
week. Ladysmith, she said. with all
it's monuments and graves on the
mountain around, is gloomy settle
ment.
The western provinces of Cape Col
ony, she said, are exquisitely beautiful,
and several of the towns literally
blazed with gloriously colored flowers.

mingled in brilliant profusion. Ferns
that are rare in Western hothouses

FURNITURE STORE
PREY Of FIRE

The establishment Of the J. Noonan
Furniture Company IN Mission street,
near Sixth, was completely destroyed
nv fire At an early hour yesterday
morning. with loss of something over
$50. 600 The big warehouse back Of
the store building and the store itself
were packed with large Stock of
furniture. and as the fire had gained
considerable headway before being dis
covered the department was unable to
DO more than confine the flames to
the furniture store and warehouse, be-
ing aided by a fortunate shift of the
wind. which saved a large three-story
building adjacent and in process of
construction.
II. o. Burke a watchman- for the

cover the flames. which originated in
the warehouse, and three alarms were
turned IN. Six companies responded.
and for over an hour it was thought
that the entire cluster Of buildings

MAY ELIMINATE
PARTY LINES

AS a result of his recent visit to In
dian Territory, Secretary Charles FIJI
son expresses the belief that party
lines viii be eliminated in great
many OF the Indian Territory districts
in the election of constitutional CON
vention delegates. due primarily to
county seat fights Every delegate dis
trict has at least one town desiring to
be county seat, frequently more, and
those towns will ordinarily select the
men whom they consider the best
qualified to look after their interests,
regardless Of politics.
1t is believed that the Democrats
will be gamers in this condition, as
the southern district, which would
return Democrats on strict party vote,
viii send Democrats anyway. while in
the northern districts, where the Re
publieans would have the best OF it
by small majorities. the non-partlsan
idea is likely to result in returning
some Democrats from Republican dis
trscts.
