FOR FAIRNESS
IN BUSINESS

New York, May 16.-The annual
convention of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers began yester-
day. President D. NJ. Parry delivered
his annual report, review of the
work of the association for the past
year and discussion of various mat
tiers affecting members of the associa-
ton, dwelling at considerable length
upon the railroad questions now be
fore congress, and government regula-
ton of corporations. He declared
that while corporations are needful
agencies in cheapening and enlarging
production, and should be encouraged
the managers of these corporations
have no license to rob the public for
the benefit of the stockholders or to
rob the stockholders for the benefit of
themselves" The use of unfair de-
vices to stifle competition and to
charge the prices of monop-
oily he declared to be rob.
berry of the public" and robbery
Of the stockholders when they use
the capital of the corporations to fur.
Their their own interests, citing cases
of insurance companies where the
policyholGers are stockholders.
AS to government control of corpor-
ations Mr.. Parry said that govern.
ment control of corporations when it
means arbitrary limitation of profits
legitimately earned, simply spells so
cialism and as remedy for existing
evils should be execrated even more
than the evils themselves. The gov
eminent has no more right to inter
fere with property rights Inherent in
individual liberty than has a union or
corporation"

Perhaps there is no intelligent Amer

cent of intelligent folk would accord
Carl Schurz second place Though
German born and German learned, Mr..
Schurz stood among the elite of the
front rank of American citizenship
and American craftsmanship. AS a
publicist he is perhaps the first Of
living Americans. He was a gigantic
intellect and an exalted character.
Not John Knox, nor Sam Adams, was
more courageous of conviction. or less
disposed To compromise with what he
thought error, than this revolutionist
and exile, became Mugwump.
Forced to leave the land OF his
birth for opinions sake, Schurz was a
teacher and journalist in Paris and
London, and in 1852, when only %,
he came to America, and for half a
century he was a potent factor in tie
molding of public opinion. Mr.. Schurz
wrote a Life Of Henry Clay, the very
best work on that subject yet pro-
duced.

RESORT IN the TenderlOin District
Caught Gambling and Puts Up a
right. Chief Schneider Raids
Gambling Den Last Night and Butts
Up Against Guns.

For some time past intmatiops have
been received at police headquarters that
all was not going on as provided bv law
at the Combination saloon, on the sou h.
west corner of G and Hume streets. in
the matter OF closing at one o'clock D. m .
and that OF gambling. 1t has been re-
ported to Chief Schneider that open
gambling was being conducted at this
institution, anl that the matter of clos
ing was done to "suit the trade" with
out regard to the city ordinance.
AT midnight last night Chief Schneider
decided to investigate the subject, and
with Officers Miles, Nelson, Searles.
Durand and kempster, proceeded to the
house, where he found two gambling
tables in full operation, and about
eighteen men indulging in the games.
Quickly surrounding the tables, SAG was
secured as the bank roll of one, while the
dealer at the other made such quick
cash ln' as to save the coin.
The six officers found themselves
obliged to permit the escape of about
half the number, taking care they were
the victims, and holding the proprietors
and dealers.
The institution is managed bv Burke
u Jacobsen, and both proplietors devel-
oped disposition to defy the law and it's
officers. When the arrests were made.
Proprietor Burke pulled vicious looking
slX-shooter on Schneider-and but for
the prompt appearance OF the guns of the
chief and Officer Searles, would have
been in much deeper trouble today than
he is. While the six officers had their
nine prisoners lined up preparatory to
taking them to Jail. the other proprietor.
Jacobson, tried for gun n-play. Asking
to be allowed to reach for his hat, he
reached for handy pistol, but was
knocked out by the handler club of Off
Ger Miles before he could use it. On the
way to the Jail both proprietors abused
and threatened to shoot the chief and
arresting officers on sight when released
this may be good hunch as to the
time OF said release.
This morning the following of the
bunch gave bonds and took change OF
