Plenty of Work in This
City, Says State Labor
Commissioner Stafford
| WAGES ARE HIGH

In response to an inquiry concerning
business conditions in San Francisco
and its environs the State Labor Com
missioner, w. v. Stafford, has written a
strong letter urging men of the build
ing trades to enter San Francisco and
cooperate in it's upbuilding. A letter
from Albert L. Harrington of Clara
Vile, Q. T., was answered by the COM
missioner as follows:
Ferry Building. San Francisco,
July 1e, 1905.
has been referred to me. II you are
q nrst-class carpenter you will make
no mistake in coming to San Francisco.
The work of cleaning up the city has
progressed TO such an extent that to-
day practically all of our mechanics are
employed. There is room in this city
and in adjacent cities for thousands of
men in the building trades. We es-
pecially need carpenters, electrical
workers, bricklayers, hodearriers,
sheet-metaf workers and structural
iron workers. We need these men by
thousands if they are good mechanics.
and we have no room for any other
kind, and they will be sure Of plenty
of work at good wages.
Our present difficulty Is the housing
of families, and arrangements are
being perfected for ample provision in
this line. The cost of living is some-
what higher, than In the past, but
desires and habits of the, man com
cerned. One thing is certain-Califor-
MAS capacity for production of food
supplies is Just as great as ever;
Council fully indorses my statement
regarding the need of building trade
mechanics.

collins Again in Court.

George D. Collins was before Judge
Burnett yesterday, when the matter of
restoration of the records, SO far as
his appeal is concerned. came up for
settlement. Assistant District At
torney Cook objected to the copy of
the appeal on the ground that IT had
been changed. The District Attorney
contends that Collins flied his origi-
nal appeal before the judgment was
entered and that in his copy he en-
deavored to make ii appear that the
entry was made prior to the fling of
his document. Judge Burnett took the
matter under advisement and Will
render his decision this morning.

objects to Rehearing.

An answer was filed in the Supreme
Court yesterday by the plaintiff in
the case of Frank Reeve against the
Colusa Gas and Electric Company to
the petition of the defendant for a
rehearing on the ground that the mat
ter of carelessness was not considered
in the recent decision of the Supreme
Court, although that had been the
original grounds for granting the
plaintiff damages. The plaintiff, in his
answer. asserts that carelessness was
considered by the Supreme Court in
deciding the case. The plaintiff re-
ceived injuries from electric wires of
the Co1usa Gas and Electric Company
on September 25, 1901. He sued for
$4,000 damages and was granted
damages for $4,000 by the Superior
Court of Colusa County. The Supreme
Court recently upheld the action OF
the lower court.

Mate Going Charged.

First Mate ]. Going of the American
schooner Snow and Burgess was
brought before United States Commits
sioner Heacock yesterday on a charge
of having wounded Fritz Harmening.
a member of the crew, on July IA by
way OF celebrating the downfall Of the
Bastile. His preliminary examination
was set for tomorrow and his bail was
fixed at $4,000. Going explained that
the men mutinied while on the high
sea, came up from below and assaulted
him, and that he was obliged to shoot
Harmening in the shoulder in self
defense

TAKES HIMsELF SERIOUSLY.

The announcement made by Mayor
Schmitz that he had been offered the
Republican nomination for Governor Is
regarded by the politicians of the party
as somewhat premature, to say the
least. To give the story the color of
probability mention was made OF the
incident that the Mayor and w. F..
Herrin had been in close conference.
The politicians remarked that only a
dozen or so of the S25 delegates to the
Republican State Convention had been
elected, hence the inference that the
Mayor misunderstood Herrin or that
Herrin misunderstood the Republican
party. Nothing serious. however. Is
likely to come of the misunderstand-
ing, as the Mayor has resolved to give
his undivided attention to affairs in
San Francisco.
There Is an undercurrent of gossip
to the effect that Mayor Schmitz listens
with certain degree OF rapture to
Garret McEnerney, William j. Dingee.
Charles S. Wheeler and last. but not
least, to Gavin McNab. When it comes
to promising nominations for Governor
Gavin McNab should surely be able to
deliver as many goods from the Demo-
cratic party as w. F. Herrin can de-
liver from the fold of Republicans.
The Kern County Republican con-
vention went the whole route in it's
Endorsement of Pardee. Here Is the
style of Endorsement.
We indorse the able and businesslike
administration of Governor George c.
Pardee and feel confident that the best
interests of this State would be con-
served were he again honored with the
nomination for and election as Cover
nor The State gained in prestige and
power under his administration and
taxes have been reduced; in short. II
| has been a business administration
with a business man at its head.
When the metropolis of this State
San Francisco, went down In the mael-
strom of earthquake and fire the pa
triotic and heroic efforts, supplemented
and enforced with the genius and sense
of our chief executive, came to the
rescue. and the world knows the result
OF his efforts and applauds his constant
devotion and untiring efforts In behalf
Of the stricken city and her people.
1t is now up to Gillett to produce
something heroic from Humboldt

to send an unpledged delegation to the

Benneweg Held to Answer.

Abraham Benneweg. a shoe dealer OF
Oakland, was held to answer yesterday
by United States Commissioner Hea-
cock on the charge of having had a
mail bag uniawfully In his possession.
Benneweg pleaded ignorance of the
law, and in excuse tor his refusal to
deliver the pouch to Postoffice In
spector Frank Stewart said that Stew
art was domineering and discourteous.
and that he, Benneweg. became hot
headed over the affair and tried to
retain the bag. He said further that
he had bought the article from a wo-
man on Third street and thought that
he had q right to retain 1t.

PANAMA CANAL BONDS
DO NOT TEMPT INVESTORS
Only Draw Per Cent and Capitalists
Much Prefer San Francisco Muni-
cipal, Paying 3M Per Cent.

Panama canal bonds issued by the
United States Government are likely
to be a drug on the market, according
to the report of Assistant United
States Treasurer julius Jacobs, who
said yesterday that there was little or
no demand for them.
Treasurer Jacobs ascribes this indif.
ference to the low rate, 2 per cent, on
the bonds and that they will not be
sold at less than par. He said that
San Francisco municipal bonds at "
per cent were a gilt-edged investment
and capitalists preferred them.

TWO CABINET MEN
To VISIT STATE.
Metcalf Is on Way and
Taft May Come West
Later in the Campaign
KERN FOR PARDEE
BY HUGH NJ. BURKE.

William H. Taft. Secretary of War
may come to California next October
when the political campaign is in full
blast and sneak at Sacramento, and
perhaps in one other leading city OF
the Second Congressional District Be-
tween speeches the Secretary may ex-
plain why his department, in the pur-
chase of relief for San Francisco, ex-
pended $4,000 for tents and blankets
and only $4,000 for whisky.
There is nothing TO indicate that
Duncan McKinlay of the firm of Nc
Kinlay, Perkins s. Co., manufacturers
of paint and varnish, will need special
aid in his fight for reelection to Con-
gress. but if he should need 1T, Taft
will be in hailing distance, as the Sec
retary is scheduled to visit Denver
during the golden days Of October, and
can easily extend the tour to Cali
fornia.
Victor H. Metcalf Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, is on the rail
headed for Oakland. Should Joseph
r. Knowland require any help in his
battle for reelection to Congress in
the Third, Metcalf would readily take
OFF his coat and get in for Joseph.
There is more than grain of truth
in the gossip wired from Washington
that Metealf would be pleased to ac-
cept the ONCE of Federal Judge to sue
ceed Thomas P, Hawiey. life po-
sition with fat salary appeals to
the hard working statesman of every
shade of political faith. United States
Senator Nixon of Nevada, who arrived
in San Francisco yesterday, has plans
of his own which may interfere with
Metcalf's ambition. Nixon, 1t seems,
has a Nevada candidate for the job.
DOESN'T WANT JUDGEsHIP.
The notion that Congressman Need
ham desires appointment to fill the
Hawley vacancy is not credited, Need
ham has the habit of going to Con-
gress as the representative of the
Sixth District and neither Judge Con-
ley, CASTOR Ashe nor any other Demo
crat has been able to break him of 1t.
Needhan's political champion and per-
sonal friend, G, T. Elliott, Is now firm
ly installed in the comfortable office
of United States Marshal. as the sue
cessor Of John H. Shine.
4 The place was promised to State
Senator Clifford Coggins by Senator
Perkins and George Hatton, but Cog
gins failed to consult United States
Senator Frank P. Flint. Coggins got
the idea, perhaps from Oxnard. that
Perkins was the whole cheese" in
Washington and neglected to see Flint
or w alter Parker Perkins, IN the
frankest style, wrote to Coggins that
Flint ought to be seen, but when Cog
gins got the letter from the senior
Senator 1t was too late to see Flint.
The whole inside truth Of the mix
up is to be told to the President by
Thomas B. Dozier, District Attorney
of Shasta County. Up in Shasta the
statesmen say that Tom Dozier is the
one man in the world that can tell of
all the black perfidy which gave to
Elliott the job that Coggins had Sc
lected.

CRITICALLY ILL At HIS HOME

Washington, May s.-Senator German.
who has been Ill for more than two
months and confined to his home In this
city. was reported last night 10 be In
critical condition. His physician ordered
that no one be allowed 10 see him. but
gave as his explanation that the senator
had recently been receiving too many call
ers. and that this fact had tended TO ex-
cite him.
His directions have been that his pa
tient should do nothing which would
arouse either his mental or physical ac-
tivities II is not denied that the senator
is confined TO his bed and the report last
night was that he was dangerously Ill.
Mrs w. ]. Lambert, Senator Gorman's
daughter. stated late last night that her
father was no worse than he had been
recently, and denied emphatically the ru-
NOR that Senator Germans condition was
dangerous.
