REV. MUM DEF|EO
BY CHIEF D|NAN.
Offered $4,000 for His
Church on Condition
ThatHe Proves Charge
OFFICERS STORY Y

Chief of Police Dinan makes en-
phatic denial of the Rev. Rufus z.
Nunn's allegations that the Chief owns
an $4,000 interest in the Terminal sa-
loon, near Golden Gate Park, and that
this resort has been favored by the
police to the extent of allowing liquor
to be sold there while other saloons
were compelled to close. The Chief
says he owns no interest in that sa-
loon or in any other, in this city or
elsewhere. He further offers to donate
to Rev. Nunn's church the $4,000 that
Num- says he has invested in the Ter
minal and any other sum that Num-
can prove he has invested in any ques-
tionable resort. Chief Dinan directs at
tention to the fact that the clergyman
himself admits that he made the asser
tion not from his own knowledge, but
upon authority of a letter received by
him, the name of the author being
kept secret.
The Clergyman called the Chief the
financial hacker Of Donovan, ostensible
owner of the Terminal. Chief Dinan
says he never met or knew Donovan
until after the big fire. Then, being
homeless, he rented a room in the
building over the saloon and occupied
1t one month. That, he says, was the
extent of his dealings with Donovan.
In this connection Chief Dinan is
proud to exhibit a letter received yes
terday from one Of San Francisco's
most prominent and highly respected
men, Herbert E. Law, owner of the
Fairmont Hotel, the Monadnock build
ing and other valuable property.
For some time policeman had been
detailed at the Fairmont Hotel and on
August the Chief wrote to Law that
owing to the fact that so many of his
men were away on their vacations he
could not longer spare a man, but sug
gested that Law employ an, efficient
man, who could be sworn in as a spe
cial officer.
Yesterday morning the Chief received
the following letter in reply from Law:
will select a good man, as sug
geSted in your letter of the Sd inst

preciate your efforts not only on our

PROTESTS AGAINST
BREAD RAISE.
Bakers Union Secretary
Says Bosses Are Max
ing Money Enough
PROFIT STILL BIG

The announced intention of the
Master Bakers Association of this
city to double the price of bread
because it has granted its union
bakers an increase In wages of about
SS a week has brought forth vehe-
ment protest from Bakers Union No.
"a This union declares that the
Bakers Association intends nearly to
double fits profits on bread and is try
ing to throw the responsibility upon
the union.
The secretary of the union IN a
written communication points out that
the men asked for an increase OF
wages of approximately 10 per cent. to
pay which the master bakers declare
they must increase the price of bread
100 per cent. The S5 per cent Will go
toward swelling the already large
profits of the master bakers, says
Secretary Schwarting.
The bakers union has a remedy
which will protect the public from the
necessity of paying two prices for
bread. The union is quietly maturing
plans which will enable it to start a
big cooperative bakery, bread from
which will be sold for five cents as at
ing points out two important facts;
first, that the Master Bakers Associa-
tion only includes twenty-four of the
ninety bakeries in the city, and there
fore is in no position to dictate the
price of bread, and also that the profits
of the baking concerns have increased
since the earthquake, as they have put
out more home made" and less milk
bread, the former being a more eco
nomical product for the boss baker to
sell.
In his protest against the raise by
the master bakers the secretary an
sWers some of the objections raised
by the bakery managers. He claims
that the raise of wages of the less
skilled bakers does not prevent the
bosses from increasing the pay of the
ADLER union men. Altogether the Sec
retarys claims that the raise In rents
and commodities is the legitimate ex.
planation Of the demand of the bakers
According to Schwarting the in
crease demanded by the men is Is pei
cent, and for the master bakers tc
double the price of the loaves after the
raise has been granted is out of the
question because of the manufacture OF
pan bread, otherwise called home
made" bread. A man can produce g
larger amount Of pan bread, thereby
leaving a larger margin of profit fol
the employer.

ATTENDANCE AT THE RESORTS
SHOWS STATES PROSPERITY
Railroads Base Years Financial Stntus
On the Business Done by
Recreation Places,

For several years the railroads have
used the business done at the Cali
fornia summer resorts as a basis for
estimating the prosperity of the State.
The figures given out by the Southern
Pacific show that at the resorts the at
tendance this year has been greater
than in any year past. Traffic on the line
from Sacramento to San Francisco has
doubled and the number of passengers
on the incoming trains far exceeded
that of the trains leaving San Fran
cisco.
At Santa Cruz last week the record
attendance was broken at the recrea-
ton pier with 6740 at one admission
At the public ball another record was
broken with an attendance of 1882 in
one evening. At Lake Tahoe all hotels
hold record breaking throngs, and never
has there been more people at Pacific
Grove. 1t is a railroad maxim that
when the resorts are well patronized
the prosperity of the year is assured.
