scAmIIz' ARRIVAL AWAITED
Interest in Proceedings Of Grand Jury
Now centers On Absent Mayor
Schmitz.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-The
principal interest in the graft inves-
tigation today centered around the
expected arrival of Mayor Schmitz
from New York. Both sides have anX-
iously awaited word from the east.
Neither side has a line on the plans
of the other in the matter of notifying
the mayor of his indictment or of TAX
ing steps to see that he returned
promptly to San Francisco.
That Reuf had trusted his emissary
at the dock to meet Schmitz none
doubted, but what information he con-
veyed to the mayor is known only to
Ruef. The belief was generally held
that no warrant would be served.
The cases against Reuf and Schmitz
were called in Bunn's court but by
agreement were postponed until De-
cember 8.

ploye, was indicted Tuesday for per-

WATER POWER IS THE QUESTION
Yellow Hawk Mills Can be Rebuilt il
Enough Water Can be Secured
to Run Them.

Securing available power depends
Hawk mills, destroyed by fire Mon
day night are rebuilt. Martin Campbell,
one of the owners of the destroyed
mills stated this morning that finan-
cially his firm was able to rebuild the
mills but the question of power is a
matter that may stand in the way.
1.-THE outlook for being able to oper-
ate the mill by water power is not
very encouraging to say the least,
said Mr.. Campbell. 1.-The Yellow Hawk
is being used more year by year for
irrigation purposes and as the city
proposes to utilize a part of Mill
creek for the new gravity water sys-
tenn that will have a tendency to re-
duce the flow.
1--WE operated the old mill partly by
water power and partly by gasoline
engine. During certain seasons of the
year we were only able to generate Is
lOISepOW6I ny water. II TAXES DIT least
40 to so horsepower to run the mill
which power must be generated either
by gasoline engines or electricity. Both
means are expensive.
Mr.. Campbell placed the firms loss
at $4,000 by Monday nights fire.
The mill and wheat on hand were
valued at $4,000 and on this only
$1,000 insurance was carried. The mill
was insured for $4,000 and the stock
at $4,000. Mr.. Campbell was of the
opinion that some of the burned wheat
may be used for feed purposes.
None of the members of the firm or
employees can advance a theory as to
the origin of the fire unless match
carelessly thrown among some waste
rags in the oil room, started it. There
was no sign of fire around the mill
when the crews quit work for the day.

STAMINA CUM MING.

An artist by birth and training,
Shanna Cumming stands today at the
head of American singers. In the
field Of oratorio she has no serious
rival, and she seems to possess in gen.
erous measure all the attributes that
make for success on the concert stag >.
She is distinctly American. Her pretty
given name, "Shanna" (wild rose), is
an inheritance from her granImother,
who, as the wife of a sturdy young
missionary among the Indians, Was a
pioneer of Illinois, and the strength,
purity and charm of her singing seems
typical of the broad prairies where the
three generations of Cummings have
been born and bred. Her work IN cesti-
val and oratorio has made her known
and admired by musicians everywhere
and her beautiful voice and winning
personality have endeared her to
thousands.
She was born in Farmer City, Ill,
Sne began her musical studies as
soloist on the piano and made her first
public appearance when ten years old
AT sixteen she began to cultivate her
voice at the Conservatory of Music at
Jacksonville, Ill. At that time her
voice was not thought to be of eXcep-
tional quality, but she worked per-
sistently. She continued her studies
in San Francisco and Chicago under
the best private teachers.
Her first church position was in
Buffalo. Her next move was to Pitts
burg where she entered the concert
field. She returned to church work.

WORKMAN AND FARMER

A most interesting phase Of the
American Federation Of Labor meet
ing, now in progress in Minneapolis,
is the effort to make an alliance be-
tween the workingmen Of the cities and
the workingmen of the country; in
other words between the trades union
lists and the farmers. The proposals
made, and tentatively adopted, con-
template an agreement on the part OF
the Federation that it's members will
strive to purchase only farm products
bearing the label of the American So
ciety of Equity, the farmers organic
alton, which on it's part will insist on
the union label for manufactured pro-
ducts.
This may perhaps prove practicable
and, so far as carried out, will tend
to strengthen the hand of each organ
ization in the class from which it
draws membership, says the Minnea-
polls Journal.
But behind this agreement is the be-
lief and hope, frequently expressed by
speakers for both organizations, that
in some way the middleman and mis-
extortionate profits is to be eliminat-
ed. In some way, the workman is to
buy direct from the farmer at lower
prices than he now pays. In some
way the farmer is to sell his produce
direct to the workman at higher prices
than he now gets. In some way, not
yet pointed out by any prepayment Of
the plant, the farmer is to get higher
prices and the workman to pay lower
prices than now.
The term "middleman" in our COM
plicated modern system means much
more than it once did in the primitive
days when each city lived on the pro-
duce of it's surrounding territory, when
the producer and the consumer might
come into actual contact in the market
place. Today the northwestern farmer
raises wheat and beef for consumers
many thousands Of miles away. For
him ''middleman'' means the buyer,
the railroad, the miller or packer, the
Jobber and the retailer all rolled into
one. How can an alliance such as the
one under consideration eliminate or
even greatly modify this "middleman"?
That is the problem Monopolistic
combines and the discriminative re-
bates on which they are founded may
be (and are being) eliminated. But
how can the Minnesota farmer for in
stance, put a label on his wheat that
shall stick till as bread it enters the
mouth of the New York workman?
Who will buy mis- wheat in the fall
and carry it till spring when the miller
is ready to grind it? What coopera-
tive system can be devised that will
gather, manufacture and distribute
his product at less cost than the pres
ent complicated but effective system
that is founded on the experience and
the lessons of the ages?
These are questions that must occur
to anyone who gives the hopes of the
