NURSES CONTINUE
FOOTWEAR WAR

I'VE won't wear white stockings,

Shoes" declare the two pretty nurses
of the City and County Hospital who
have led the white stocking rebellion
against the rigid ruling OF the Board
of Health. They will not permit the
heads of the municipal department to
dictate how their trim ankles will be
adorned and-any way, the horrid
things make their feet cold. The in
surrection is in full swing at the
big hospital, and until Misses O'Leary
and Cronin wear white stockings and
shoes to match they Will be forced to
stay behind the barred doors.
All first the pretty young rebels were
inclined to claim that they could not
get shoes to fit, but on second thought
they won't wear them, anyhow. They
have drawn up and forwarded a petit
tion to the head of the hospital, and
Dr. Hughes, who occupies the die
trim feminine ankles be clad in snow
white stockings, has summarily de-
clined to consider the plea.
TITS only a matter of uniform" he
volunteered yesterday afternoon, but
just the same they must wear those
white Shoes"
He added sternly later that no
Christmas outing would be allowed the
misses until the snow white footgear
is visible.
All of the nurses are to be seen
whisking down the dark corridors with
the regulation stockings, but not so in
ward d, where the rebels hold sway
The other nurses decline to wear white
shoes, but will wear ties, saying.
Shoes look so clumsy, you know, and
white stockings, especially If you can
afford real nice ones, do really look
awful cute
The two parties to the disa greement
claim that they will stay with their
convictions to the end. The two in
five months more to serve before they

CHILD HERO MEETS
TRAGIC DEATH

William ]. Hedermann, 10-year- old
boy, who has been bravely assisting in
the support Of his widowed mother
since the great fire, died yesterday as
result of injuries relieved in a run
away accident. His tragic ending
brought to light a pathetic story.
Willie's mother lives in a tent in
Alamo square, and it was because ne
cessity compelled it that the child was
made to perform Work that should have
been done by man. He was employed
as driver of a delivery wagon for
Mrs. L. Zambelli, who Keeps fruit
stand at 2191 Market street.
The boy was driving the wagon in
Noe street yesterday and when near
Fifteenth a bolt which supported the
shafts suddenly broke. causing them to
fall The horse took fright and the
little fellow could not control the ami
NAL. which ran away. He was thrown
from the seat onto the pavement In
front of the wheels, which passed over
his body.
Sympathizing bystanders picked up
the injured lad from the pavement and
hailing a milk wagon, sent him in it
to the German Hospital. Effort to save
the life of the little hero was made in
vain. He died on the operating table,
and the poor mother is deprived of her
last means of support.

HOLIDAY TURKEYS
ARE CHEAPER
Fowls for Christmas Table
Abundant and Selling at
Comparatively Low Prices
PRICES MUCH LOWER

Cheap turkeys will serve to increase
the Christmas merriment of San Fran
ciscans this year as the birds are IN
abundance, and prices. which were how
ering around rather prohibitive figures
for several days, took a sharp drop
yesterday. For the first time in several
years the cost of the birds is well with
in the means of the average buyer
and there are enough on hand to assure
everyone a bountiful supply. There
were over 10000 birds in the hands of
retailers yesterday and. following a
slump in wholesale prices, retail rates
were correspondingly low.
At most retail stores yesterday the
ruling price for prime California stock
was 20 cents a pound, with some han
dlers conducting bargain sales at lower
figures.
The low prices are due to heavy ar
rivals, the number of birds raised in
California this year being remarkably
large, and there were liberal lines of
Orgon stock brought into the market.
On Saturday and yesterday there was
a steady stream of consignments pour
ing into the wholesale market, and,
while the exact receipts could not be
ascertained conservative estimates
placed the arrivals for the two days
at $50 tons. The wholesale produce
district, which is usually deserted on
Sunday, presented a scene of activity
yesterday as turkey buyers were out
in force and nearly all of the COM
mission houses remained open in order
to handle the expected rush of busi-
ness.
Up to yesterday wholesalers were
very firm in their views and were ask
ing from % cents to 20 cents a pound
and occasionally higher for exception
ally fine stock, but the market received
no support from buyers, who. IN view
of the heavy receipts, were holding on
in expectation of slump BY these
waiting tactics operators succeeded In
breaking the market, and at the open
ing yesterday large receivers started
to sell at 20 cents a pound Buying
at this figure was brisk in the early
morning, but before noon keen compe-
tition among sellers caused the price
to recede to Is cents a pound.
The market was far from being
cleaned up at the close. but receivers
evinced no disposition to depress prices
further. preferring to place the surplus
in cold storage rather than sacrifice
the goods. Six carloads of Eastern
chilled stock were brought in by specu-
lators during the week. but 1t found
few buyers. owing to the abundance
and comparative cheapness Of domestic
fowls and the bulk of the imported
stock was stored for future use.

Six Year-0ld Girl Struck
By Fenderless Streetcar
Dorothy McGorvjn
Made a Cripple
By Wheels

Clasping a coin in her chubby hand
with which she intended to buy a
Christmas toy, six-year-old Dorothy
McGorvin, whose parents reside at
1O41a Tennessee street, was run over
by rapidly moving streetcar at the
corner of Eighteenth and Kentucky
streets, yesterday and her left leg was
ground from her body above the knee.
Little Dorothy left her home on an
errand for her mother about 2:3O
o'clock in the afternoon and was told
that she might purchase some Christ
mas token with the change which she
would receive. 1t was while crossing
the street to the notion store that the
car rushed upon her, and when the
wheels had been raised from her body
the left leg was so badly mangled as to
later necessitate its amputatlOn at the
hospital to which she was carried
Whether the girl will survive is a mat
ter of doubt
After the accident the unconscious
girl was carried to the Potrero Hos
pital where DIR. Wade Stone gave
emergency treatment and personally
conducted her removal to the Central
Emergency Hospital, where the man
gled leg was amputated by Drs. Millar,
Tillman and Glover.
Dorothy is a favorite In the neigh
borhood where she lives. DR.. Stone,
who became acquainted with the little
girl through her playing around the
hospital, broke down and cried imme-
diately after turning his patient over
to the doctors at the Central Emerg
ency Hospital.
The car, No. 1914 of the Bryant
and Kentucky street line, had no fen
der, and the motorman, w. H. Perkins,
while he checked the speed of the car,
was unable to prevent the accident. At
the OFarrell Street Station, where he
was charged with battery, Perkins said:
Poor little thing; poor little thing"
and sat on a stool with his face buried
in his hands. He was released on $40
cash bail put up by his employers.

too much. Uncle Sam wants the 8S

no reply to our request for more funds.
I think the matter is now IN the hands

1t is explained by Altman that the
board must have more money for school
room, owing to the rapid increase in
the number of children in attendance.
There must be more room in the high
schools, as well as in the grammar
grade buildings, and he sees no reason
why the Board of Supervisors should
refuse the request that will be made to
issue bonds for that purpose The for
mer sale of bonds did not cover the ex-

VACATION PAY FOR
THE TEACHERS

Teachers of San Francisco will re-
ceive their pay for the entire month
of December. This will probably stop
the effort on the part of the teachers
organization to. carry the matter to the
courts, although 1T Is not yet deter
mined that the salaries for later vaca-
tions will be paid.
The Supervisors will be asked by the
Board Of Education to include in the
proposed bond issue for salt water
fire system one for $750,000 for the
Improvement of schools, and this will
probably prevent making cuts in SAL
aries at any later time during the
school year.
Since the Board of Education passed
a resolution early in September to
withhold payment of teachers salaries
during the vacation periods the force
of instructors has been up in arms, and
recently formed an organization in the
name of which it was intended to
bring suit for the money. With the
payment of the full salary for Decem-
Der 1t is believed the suit will be with
drawn, but the teachers organization
will probably continue in existence for
the purpose of protecting the rights of
its members in other ways.
In speaking Of the plan to pay the
teachers for December. A. Altmann
president of the Board of Education,
said:
I'VE will pay the teachers their en-
tire December salary This is made
possible through slight saving we
have been enabled to make In other
ways. Another thing that is favorable

made yet in the teachers salaries"

PHELAN,s SHARP REToRT

When Phelan was asked last night
what he thought sof the statements
made about him and the remainder of
the Relief Corporation by Schmitz be-
fore the Park Commission Saturday he
was inclined to treat the matter with
contempt. He inferred that Schmitz
had enough of other things to attend to
at the present time, instead of trying
to run the affairs of he corporation.
Regarding the statement of Schmitz
to the Commissioners that he is seri-
ously contemplating the removal of
to run the affairs of the corporation.
tion the latter said:
The corporation is composed of
twenty-one members, of which Schmitz
is one. Schmitz has thus the voice in
the matter of one director only. That
is all he can do toward a change.
Il was not appointed by Schmitz as
chairman of the corporation, as he
claims. He appointed me member of
the finance committee and the members
later elected me as chairman. But that
committee has gone out of existence,
1T having been absorbed by the corpora
ton, which is a legally organized con-
Germ. over which Schmitz has no au-
thority.
we will solve the camp problem in
the interests of the refugees, and we
will keep within the law in doing it,"
Regarding Schmitz's inference that
danger awaited him, Phelan said:
Mayor Schmitz would better look out
for his own neck"
Further developments in the contro-
versy will probably be made at a meet
ing Of the Relief Corporation to be held
Wednesday, The regular day for the
meeting is Tuesday, but. as that is
Christmas 1T will be postponed until the
day after.
