MAYOR PREPARES
SCORCHING PAPER
MAILER WILL FLAY CITY
C0UNCILMEN
Executive Refuses to Discuss Message
in Advance, but 1t Is Probably
Addressed to Long suf.
fering Public

Mayor McAleer is preparing a state
ment in answer to the communica-
tion on the board of public works qtfes-
tion sent him by the council Wednes-
day, which, it is declared will scorch
the paper it is written on. The mayor
made an effort TO have the message
ready for publication yesterday, but as
IL Is being prepared under the super
vision Of his attorney, Clarence Miller,
who was yesterday busy in court, it
was found necessary to delay it until
today.
While the mayor refuses to discuss
his message in advance. it Is declared
that the import of il win be to refuse
to accept the compromise offered by the
council that the three civic bodies
lfame the members. of the board of
works, which the council will imme-
diately confirm. The communication,
which promises to be lengthy, in all
probability will be addressed to the
public, US was the message from the
council and in it the mayor will tell
of the wide chasm existing between
the legislative and executive DEPART
lnents of the city government and give
what he believes as his reasons for the
breach. The mayor has been awaiting
Just such an opportunity for ~ long
time and will make the most of the one
presented to him.
The adjourned session of the council
yesterday morning made short shl'ift
of the slate for the board of works
submitted the previous morning. AL
most without comment that list was
taken from the committee of the whole
and rejected by the council The Coun-
ell then adjourned to Monday morn
ing, the regular time for meeting.
The action of the council was official
ly transmitted to the mayor and yes
terday afternoon he submitted another
list, the sixth since the deadlock, which
was filed with the city clerk for action
by the council next Monday.
This list contained the names of r.
r. Del Vale, Lester l.. Robinson and
f.. T. Perkins.

SAN DIEGO'S GROWTH

Every person in Los Angeles noted
with pleasure the statement in yester-
days Herald that the real estate trans
actions in San Diego for the month of
January had exceeded all the records
of that city-even for the boom times
OF 1887
There are Indications that San Diego
is entering upon a new era Of growth
and prosperity that should develop that
beautiful old city into the position of
prominence which it has so long de-
served. 1t has every natural attraction.
Its fine harbor. It's splendid bay it's
water facilities and its location as the
southernmost city of Southern Cali
fornia should have attracted the atten-
ton Of eastern capital long ago. But
for some reason San Diego has been
held back--not, perhaps, from any lack
of enterprise on the part of its citizens,
but from circumstances over which
they had no control. This situation ap-
pears now TO be passing away. Los

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Mason Opera House

There is material in 1.-THE Jewess,' -
which Nance O'Neil presented at the
Mason last evening, for an excellent
drama, but it was spoiled in the MAX
ing. Mckee Rankin is again respon-
sible for stage management which al
most turned the play into a farce. 1t
is unexplainable how he could allow
the use of tableau curtains too narrow
for the arch; how in play supposed
to be heavy tragedy he could permit
the Introduction of such absurd effects
as were produced by the lightning and
thunder machines.
Miss Nance O'Neil presented an eX-
ample of the fatal results that are OBJ
tanned by a lack of reserve power 1t
was evident that she was moved tre-
mendously by the vicissitudes of
Leah, but she failed to make the au-
dience feel the same sympathy with
her character. Her work was danger
ously near ranting. Her company had
more than they could do to keep their
parts keyed to the extreme pitch which
she, with her remarkable vigor and
voice, established.
The story concerns the love of a
Christian for Leah, Il Jewess, where
her race is despised and rejected OF
men. The opposition to the match is
further aggravated by the Introduction
of villain who is endeavoring to hide
his own relationship with the Jews by
exciting enmity against them.
AS a whole the company was far
from satisfactory. Too many plays in
the repertoire We're perhaps the cause
of many lapses in memory. Andrew
Robson was tolerable as Joseph, the
leading man. and John Glendenning
did some Of the pest work Of his pres
ent engagement.

It has occurred to many citizens that
e. Il. Perkins can materially assist in
breaking the deadlock between the
council ana mayor over the board of
public works appointments if he will
request the mayor not to again submit
his name. The council has declared
that having turned down and rejected
the mayors first list it cannot without
stultification approve of those names
when they appear on other lists. The
mayor has put the name of Perkins on
each subsequent list and persists in
giving much unpleasant notoriety and
criticism to his friend. Mr.. Perkins
owes IT to himself to inform Mayor Me-
Aleer that his name has been juggled

RUFF AND ScHNITz

All the political figuring and calcu-
.lating with respect to the candidacy
of Schmitz for governor will not
change the essential and well-estab-
lished fact that Ruef is Schmitz and
Schmitz is Ruef-one and inseparable,
E pluribus unum, now and forever.
The rumor that Ruef has broken
with Schmitz is simply evidence that
the known program of procedure is
being inaugurated. For several weeks
the San Francisco correspondents Of
Republican newspapers in Sacramento,
Stockton and San Jose have steadily
predicted every step that is now be-
ing taken in the "Schmitz for governor
and Ruef for senator" campaign.
And this is the program-Ruef is TO
emphasize and insist upon his loyalty
to the Republican party. As an OPEN
ing move he has usurped control Of
the San Francisco Republican commits
tee, has reorganized it and compelled
that body to adopt resolution pro-
testing to the president against the
appointment of Franklin X. Lane as
Interstate commerce commissioners, on
the sole ground that Lane is n Demo-
crat and none but Republicans should
be put on guard. All this to show
that I4uef is a Republican and Intends
to work wholly with that organlza-
tion.
Ruefs next move was to tie up
Schmitz with z. II. Mccarthy and
send both of those worthless gallivant-
to organize union labor into a politi-
cal body and Immediately attach it
to the San Francisco gang, with the
sole object of booming Schmitz for
governor.
In the meantime Ruef is groom
Republican candidate for governor.
BY this move he maintains his regu-
larity as a Republican, at the same
time giving out that the Schmitz cam
didacy for governor is not of his choos-
ing.
Thus having the two strings TO his
bow, it is alleged by the correspondent
of the Sacramento Union that Ruef
will first appeal to the Republican con-
vention for the nomination of Hayes.
If this appeal be not listened to, Ruef
is then in position to threaten the
party with the nomination and cleo.
ton of Schmitz. If Hayes should be
nominated, Schmitz may be gracefully
sacrificed, whereas if Hayes should be
defeated, Ruef may fall back upon
Schmitz and the Union Labor party.
1t is this situation of affairs that
causes such agonizing internal pains
to the Sacramento Union, a very de-
cent and able Republican organ, that
is now fighting valiantly yet hopeless
ly against the recognition of Ruef as
a state Republican machine leader.
1t is in this situation that Demo-
Gratis find so much hope and encour-
agement. Ruef has determined to rule
or ruin the Republican party of Cali
fornia. He will probably do both. The
decent Republicans - hopeless and
convention-can slaughter Ruef and
his candidates at the polls. 1t is their
only salvation, and they will do this
if the Democrats are united, harmon
iouS and aggressive, and put up a
state ticket that will appeal to the
clean men of all parties. The course
of events is headed straight toward a
Democratic victory. Hence the move
ments of Ruef and Schmitz, viewed
with alarm by the Republican pollti.
clans, are watched with eager expec-
fancy by the Democratic organization.
The result is easily foreshadowed.
