BUSINESS MEN ARMISG.

AS a consequence of the many hold
ups and robberies men in all walks Of
life, including many prominent citizens
Of San Francisco, have applied to the
Police Commission for permits to carry
weapons, and in many instances these
requests have been granted a score or
more OF such permits being issued at
the meeting of the Police Commission
last night.

gave as his reason the fact that he has
become greatly alarmed on account of
the many holdups and depredations by
iaWless characters throughout the city.
Harry n Gray, contractor. with Of
hces in the Wells-Fargo building, de-
clared that he wished the protection
because Of the necessity which he faces
OF carrying large pay rolls to all parts
or the city. James j. Carran of 33S

be ready TO assist the police In case he
was called on at any time

Another noticeable effect of the reign
of crime is that the old custom of OBJ
serving steamer day" has been given
up by the merchants of the Potrero and
the wholesale districts in the lower
part Of the city. Instead of sending
collectors out to gather large sums OF
money many of the large wholesalers
have sent out notices to their custom
ers requesting them to cali in person
and settle their accounts. At nearly
every bank in the city special watch
men have been provided and arc kept
within Nthe bank rooms and ready to go
out as protectors of any customers
drawing out large sums of money.
At the meeting of the Police Com
mission last night the designations of
Police Officers Charles Clever, Allan
Frary and H. s. Hutchins. were ac-
cepted.

GAGE BLUNDERS At
Los ANGELES.
Commends William F. Her
rim, Talks Too Long
and Embarrasses Gillett
KNIGHT ON THE STUMP
BY Martin Madser.

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 16.-The me-
tronolfs of the south extended it's cor
dial hand to the north tonight ana
made a mighty demonstration for the
candidacy of James n. Gillett- Only the
enthusiasm that attended the visit of
President Roosevelt can be compared
to that which was stirred by the Hum
boldt man, declare the historic authori-
ties of the town.
To the predominance OF Republicans
in this section of the State must be
added the attitude of the candidate
toward the Owens River water project
in accounting for his popularity. In
Congress he proved the active friend
of this irrigation enterprise, on which
country, and in his addresses in the
present campaign he has promised to
give it his every aid. IN his speech
tonight Gillet declared that he would
lend every effort in the legislation
necessary to provide the great water
supply, and the audience went wild
with applause.
Il owe much to you people, politically
and otherwise. he said. and when
shall be in the Governors chair at
Sacramento you will have friend at
court. I know what the Owens River
project means to you, and you will have
no more active worker in its behalf
than t.
The refusal of Governor Pardee to
include in his call for the special ses-
sion after the San Francisco disaster
this water supply matter excited con-
siderable hostility against him, and
Gilletts friendly interest has added
correspondingly to his popularity.
Ex-Governor Henry T. Gage and
George A. Knight participated tonight.
Gage was chairman of the meeting. and
the three thousand people gave him an
ovation. He became deeply ensTossed
in denying the charges of bossism Can
didate Bell is making. and protracted
his address to an hour. which brought
forth frequent calls for Gillett and
knight. Much Gage said was Ill
timed. as well. for he sought TO de-
fend his personal friend, William F.
Herrin. He took occasion to declare
the railroad lawyer to be "a great
genius, a brilliant lawyer and most
estimable gentleman"
From some viewpoints 1t was very
bad management to have the former
Governor deliver an address. In it's
analysis 1t had but little of argument
in behalf of Gillett, and was chiefly
occupied with personal feelings that
were engendered in unhappy political
experience in the past.
1t was a late hour when knight
arose to speak, but he held the audi
ence intently to the close.

motion was also made that the
committee express their approval of the
attitude of Senator McCarren, which
was done by rising vote.
The Democratic organization Of New
York County formally opened it's cam
paign with a big ratification meeting
at Tammany Hall tonight. William R.
hearst was not present, as he is tour
ing up State, but the ticket was rep
resented by Louis Stuyvesant Chanler,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor of
both the Democratic party and the In
dependence League.
Chanler Bourke Cochran, Senator
Thomas f. Grady and others spoke. Not
all who wished to attend the meeting
could be accommodated in the hall, and
overflow meetings were held outside.
Mr.. Chanler declared that the issue
was not merely question of party
lines, but OF Democracy against plu-
tocracy. OF Mr. Hearst, Mr.. Chanler
said:
He has created an organized hatred
stronger than any political organiza-
ton. but the people love him because
of that hatred. How gladly would

everything at their hands. But, gem

sin. He turned his back on his own
class and made comrnon cause with the
common people.

This opinion, expressed by one of
the active Democratic leaders and an
office holder in Columbia County to-
day. gives an idea of the way in which
the Hearst candidacy is regarded by
leading men in the party. The revolt
is rapidly growing.
TROY, N. Y, Oct. 16.-The Troy
Times has sent a correspondent through
the eastern part of Washington County
to get line on the anti-Hearst feel
ing among Democrats. He found an
utter lack of enthusiasm for the ticket,
and Democratic town and county of
fice-holders declaring for Hughes.

Damaging Evidence Against
Scanlan Is Secured.

Ian got s17.5o for bis share Of the
booty and gave Smith So for his.
This was only one Of the many rob-
berries in which they took part and
which the police now have enough evil
dence to send them to jail. 1t justifes
them in holding both on charges OF
grand larceny while the investigation
into the murder of Friede, Pfitzner and
Murakata is being prosecuted.
The confession Of Margery Ryan con-
cerning Scanlan was made public yes
terday by Captain Duke. The wayward
girl at first evaded all questions put
to her, but finally broke down under
the severe 4nquisition and said she was
willing to tell much concerning him.
Both Scanlan and the expressman,
Howard, now under arrest, she said,
were implicated in the robbery of A. ].
Eaton of the San Francisco Mechanics
Supply Company at 7B3 O'Farrell street
last July. According TO her story,
Eaton was returning TO his home at
S33 Shrader street after attending a
lodge meeting when theys held him up
and robbed him OF a gold watch and sS5
The hold-up took place close to the
robbed mans residence and his wife
heard the scuffle and went to the street
door. She found Eaton lying on the
pavement. bleeding from blows he had
received about the face and head, and
had to carry him indoors.
The Ryan girl claimed that this was
all she knew concerning Scanlan. She
answered all other questions sullenly
and finally declared that she was sorry
she had spoken at all.
Mrs. Margaret West of A Tilden
street is another witness whom the
police believe will help them in track
ing the slayers of Friede Yesterday
she picked out the suspect Smith at po-
lice headquarters as one of two men
whose conversation she overheard in a
Sixteenth-street car the day of the
Friede murder.
We've fixed that fellow good and
proper" one of the pair said. II don't
think he'll be able to CAB any more"
The men then began to talk about
the chance of doing a good job to-
night on the San Bruno road" Mrs
West had a large sum of money with
her at the time, and she became alarm
ed at the talk Of the pair. She got of
at Folsom street and was relieved to
see that they remained on the car.
She was able 10 give fairly good
description OF the. pair to the police
and picked out Smith yesterday after
some hesitation. She felt confident
she said, that she could not be mis-
taken in the man. His companion was
described by her as being tall. about
thirty years old, OF light complexion
and smooth shayen. He wore a pepper
and-salt patterned suit a little the
worse for wear.
Captain Duke will have Mrs West
at police headquarters again today To
look over other suspects. Mrs West
is the mother of six children. Her hus-
band is carpenter, and both show a
disinclination TO have their names
linked with the investigation into the
crimes being made by the police.

ROWE PROBABLY INSANE.

Geprge Rowe. alias George Maltrav-
ers, who while. laboring under halluci-
nations, attempted to buy a pistol Mon
day with which to commit suicide,
and who afterward armed himself with
a hatchet and made an assault on Mich
olas Koehren, Mission mer-
chant, is deemed by the police to be In
sane. His record was looked up, and
II was ascertained that he had been
convicted of burglary once and sent to
San Quentin for a period of fifteen years
in 1895. His actions Monday when
he welded the hatchet terrorizing
passers by. are interpreted more in the
light OF those of a maniac than of a
man on robbery bent. The police will
look up his past, and if nothing is
discovered connecting him with any of
the recent crimes he will probably be
charged with insanity and taken be-
before the Lunacy Commissioners.

struck him on the head with a blunt
instrument, knocking him to the floor.
1t is thought that noise in the street
diverted the thug from his purpose of
robbery, for nothing was taken from
the place. At the time it was the
theory of the police that the assault on
Hopson had been made by novice at
crime and was not the work of the
murderers of Friede and Murakata, the
Japanese banker.
Peters has been under the eyes of
the police for several days, and the ar
rest of last night wast made only after
considerable evidence had been accu-
mulated. An attempt will be made to
connect the prisoner with Scanlan, now
held in jail as a desperate character.
and who is said to have been Implicated
by his consort, Margie Ryan. in rob-
berries committed recently on the city
streets
According to Policeman w. L. Ceinar.
Peters. who is 20 years of age, bears
bad reputation in the neighborhood
in which he lives as drunken and dis
orderly hoodlum. On three occasions
previous to yesterday the police have
had their attention drawn to his con-
duct.
Two weeks ago." said Ceinar last
night, Peters mother died. On her
deathbed she called the boy to her side
and asked him to reform Peters
kicked the dying mother as she lay In
her bed. He's bad one. A short time
ago woman complained to an officer
that she was being followed by two
men, and one of these we later learned
was Peters. Members of the gang to
which he belongs were arrested re-
Gently on the serious charge of attack
ing a girl, but Peters himself was not
implicated in that crime"
Suspicion was first directed toward
the young man as a possible gas
pipe thug by Special officer Dolmer,
who learned of the close resemblance
the fellow bore to the description of
the man who attacked Hopson.

self"
Tyler walked up the street a short
distance. When he returned the man
was not outside the store, but he no
ticed that no one had yet returned be-
hind the counter. He waited g few mo-
ments longer and then went on his way
home.
Asked whether he would be able to
identify the man whom he had seen
outside the store. Tyler said he was
positive he could.
He was then taken and confronted
by the six men. and picked out Scanlan
readily. There appeared to be no doubt
Of his Identification until the police
mentioned the word murder and the
significance Of the charge against
Seaman. Then his conviction suffered
instant transformation and when he
left the private Office Of Captain Duke
his indecision was as pronounced as his
early positiveness had been.
Tyler was allowed to go home, but
Captain Duke declared that he can be
had again at an instants notice
Disappointed as they were in the
negative quality of Tyler's identified
tion Of Scanlsn, the police were able
yesterday 10 add TO the skeins Of evil
dence in which they are entangling the
latter.
They are surer than ever now that
II Scsnlan has not been guilty of mur-
der he has been involved in enough
lesser crimes TO warrant his imprison-
ment for some time TO come.
Another witness was secured against
him in the person Of Max Abernathy
OF 2264 Bush street. who was examined
shortly after Tyler. Abernathy is en-
ployed by the St Francis Transfer
Company on Fillmore street He ad-
mitted knowing both Scanlan and
Smith and Of having lived with them at
~ Webster street.
They were too crooked for me-
Abernathy said. and I finally left them
and went rOoming alone 1 told them
they'd land in jail il they kept up their
work"
Abernathy gave the police many par
ticulars Of robberies and other illicit
jobs in which Scanlan and Smith were
involved.
