Dees told of the virtues of the Inde-
'endence League and of the deplorable
condition of all other political parties
IN California. according TO their opin-
ions. The show was replete with the
usual bonfire and brazen blare of brass
instruments. 1t was given at Twenty
second and Mission streets.
ALBERT Johnson, the only speaker
who is not a candidate had much to
say IN praise Of Hearst and his papers.
He practically stated that without
Hearst and his newspapers the Inde-
Pehcence League would amount to
nothing. thus acknowledging that the
title OF the organization is a misnomer.
and that instead OF being Independent
II is entirely dependent upon the man
who is forming alliances with bosses
OF questionable political records for
the attainment Of his personal ambi-
tions In the flush of his oratorical
excitement, Johnson exclaimed:

spend his money and to use the power

behalf the Independence League viii

Langdon spent but little time in com
plimenting himself but preferred to
hold up for public view the good for
tunes OF oLher candidates OF the league.
In this he differed essentially from
W. J. Biggy, the Doodle Dee candidate

Rev. Monroe Drew. who has been re-
fused reinstatement by the presby-
terry at Des Moines. is well known in
church circles in San Francisco. He
came here some two years ago. On
arrival he at once associated himself
with the ST. Johns Presbyterian Church
and attended the services there regu-
larly.
Rey. George G. Eldredge. the pastor
OF this church, in speaking of Drew
said
Drew came to this city about two
years ago. He came under a sort Of
cloud-a cloud for the reason that he
had had trouble in the East with his
wife-and for this reason the presby-
terry thought he should retire as a min
lister of the gospel While he remained
in this city I think he was in the
employ of the Chronicle in its business
office. His actions here, so far as I
know. were not such as to occasion any
comment.
The trouble. as understand 10.
took place while he was presiding at
the Columbus Union Church at Column

and his wife separated. He stated
while here that he was very anxious
for his wife to rejoin him and that
he had sent money to her and letters
asking her to come to him. She had
declined all his offers"

Policeman Charles Goff, at present
attached TO the Harbor station, engi-
neered on Thursday afternoon and
carried to a successful issue, alone and
unaided, the most important raid on
the hold-up industry with which the
Police Department has been credited
in many days. Single-handed. in a
remote part of the burned district, he
captured five desperate characters.
three of whom are ex-convicts and
all-around bad men, and all of whom
are suspected of sharing responsibility
for many of the numerous hold-ups by
which the populace has been terrorized
of late.
Goff, who patrols East street, be-
tween Market and Folsom, learned from
sources he will not divulge that a
gang of thugs had headquarters in a
tent at First and Harrison streets He
learned that they had participated in
number of hold-ups. He learned
who they were and from their rec
ords realized that his information was
probably correct. He refuses to tell
where he got his information for the
reason, he says, that to give, that away
would probably mean a violent death
for his informant.

Taking counsel of nobody, Goff de-
termined to gather in the gang on
Thursday afternoon. He reported off
duty at 4 p. m, stuck an extra pair
of handouts in his pocket and hiked
out for First and Harrison streets. He
located the tent in which his quarry

aside the flap and stepped inside.

five men together. He then ordered
the string of them out of the tent,

During the debate on the resolution
a press dispatch from Chicago ad-
dressed to the Examiner was presented
for the consideration of the council by
Delegate Scott of the Typographical
Union. 1t was in substance an inter-
view held in Chicago with Gompers
and it's intention was to disrate the
dispatch from Gompers to McCabe.
Gompers said to the interviewer that
he could not youch for the authenticity
of the dispatch read in San Francisco
tonight without consulting his records
in Washington. He added that it was
absurd that he would come to Califor-
MIA to participate in the campaign.

granted an injunction curbing the

MEN CAPTURED ARE BAD.

The men captured were Jack Staf-
ford, who on August 20 completed a
three-year sentence for burglary;
Nick Stafford, who has served five diff
ferent terms behind the bars; William
Hutchinson, known in the under world
as The Mush," who completed a five
year sentence on August 4: Will
liam Rogers and Con Condor. The
last named pair were gathered in on
the assumption that. fiocking with
three ex-convicts, their antecedents
might be in need of police scrutiny.
A few years ago Nick Stafford tried
to kill a mounted policeman. who ar
rested him for some petty offense.
Staffords poor craftsmanship was
all that saved the officer. Under where
Nick Stafford had been lying in the
tent Goff found a loaded revolver.
