Senator B. R. Tillman was in Co.

on bis way from Trenton to Charlotte,
N. G., where no was to deliver IN ad.
dress to tho Chautauqua Wednesday
night. While there he seat for some

Tho senator talked freely, and
while at the outset giving the impres
sion that he considered the dispsnsary
forces In the light Of victor rather
than vsnquished, he displayed con
siderable feeling before the interview
ended.
IF my opponents are satisfied" do
clared no, with the results Of the
primaries Wednesday, I certainly am.
I didn't get . chance to vote In the
first primary, but voted Wednesday,
and while the gentlemen for whom ]
cast my vote were defeated, that fact
neither surprises nor disturbs me.
"rhe governor cannot make the
laws, nor can he repeal those already
on the statute books. The dispensary
will have, according to the informa-
tion l have received, . safe working

something like ten or more. My fight
was on the legislature and for this CO
easion I say have won my fight.
"Tne prohibitionists, blind tigers,
local optionists and high license ad'
vocates made common cause against
the dispenssry, kno wing that its de-
feat would enable them to carry out
their nefarjous schemes, but this un-
holy alliance did not accomplish its
desires.
I'VE will clean out the dispensary,
set it upon It's feet, strengthen 1t and

practically all the principal Maine
cities and towns by Democratic city
cf1cers means, 1t Is declared, that
prohibition will be ignored more thar

Tho trouble" said slesding Maine
f1ce- holder in Washington, is that
prohibition in Maine has grown to be
= roaring farce. The ]udiorous spec
tacle is presented Of the Maine farmer
oeing allowed to sell his hard eide,

nard cider contains over 8 per cent OF
alcohol, bear only about per cent tn
humor of it Is quickly SHOWN. There
are twice as many ''jags'' in gallo,
of cider as in IN eQusl amount Of beer.
The Maine farmer Is the man who
is holding prohibition in that Stat
now. But fer tho freedom to sell o.
der he would vote against tho present
laws. The city and town people OF
Maine have demonstrated their stront
animoSity to tho continuation of pro

Prohibition has had Z precarious ex.

BURGLARS ENTER
TWO RESIDENCES
Steal Clothing and FurS
From Homes and Make
Escape Without Trouble

The activity of burglars lately in the
Western Addition is giving the Police De-
partment grave concern. The most re-
cent tricks they turned were in the resi-
dences of d. ]. Mckay of 1892 Hayes
street and of II. Haman of 1880 Hayes
street on Friday night. In the former
they took plunder valued at nearly $400
In the latter they stole much valuable
clothing and furs.
The operators. evidently high class
men at their vocation, entered the home
of Mckay who is connected with the
Hidalgo Plantation Company, by means
of a jimmy" and they worked while
the members of the family were absent
from their home The burglars were
evidently alarmed while at their work
as they left behind them money and valu-
ables amounting to $4,000
Mckay and his wife left their home
shortly before o'clock Friday evening
to take dinner downtown Several
rooms were thoroughly ransacked
Mckay and his wife returned home
about 8 o'clock and found the house in
a topsy-turvy state.

SCHOOLMASTERS' CLUB
MEETS AT CALIFORNIA HOTEL
Large Gathering Listens to Interesting
Talks by John Mcknight and
John p. Irish.

The Schoolmasters' Club met Saturday
night at the California Hotel. Presi-
dent Daley of the San Jose Normal
School was chairman. There were
about 125 present. Interesting talks
were made by John Mcknight and John
p. Irish.
Mr.. Irish took for his theme THE
Exclusion of the American Boy From
the Trades by the Labor Unions and
the Filling of the Trades by Foreign
ers." He said that the exclusion from
trades produces idleness and idleness
produces crime. Statistics show, he de-
clared, that the average age of first
convictions has been reduced from 80
years to less than 81 years, and this he
attributed to the fact that union labor
limits the number of apprentices and
shuts out the American boy from learn
ing a trade The speaker said the rem
edy lies in the establishment of trade
schools.
Mr.. Mcknight chose for his subject

pendence in Thought and Action

Pickpockets are again actively at
work The latest scene Of their pilfer-
ings is at the ferry depot Saturday
morning r. E. Dodge. a Los Angeles
newspaper man, lost s110 and trunk
check from his pockets by the deftness
of a pickpocket Several other persons
reported to Captain Burnett that the
light-f fingered gentry had operated upon
their pockets, but the police withheld
the reports. Burnett heard the numer-
Gus tales and expressed sorrow.
Dodge left his hotel to go to the ferry
to board the train for Los Angeles. He
purchased his ticket and was waiting
for the boat when he discovered that
he had been robbed. He dropped his
wallet into his coat pocket. where it
was extracted along with his trunk
check
Dodge deferred his trip long enough
to report the matter to the Captain of
Detectives, and was told that he was
not the only one who had had his
pocket picked on Saturday. Armed with
this thoughtful consolation. Dodge>Sur-
ried back to the quiet precincts of the

POLICEMAN FIGHTS A CROWD.
Set Upon When A.e Orders Women Out
of Saloon.

Policeman James Skelly of the Mis-
sion station encountered a small sized
mob last night when lie attempted, to
eject three women from the saloon of
G.. E. Keefe on the northwest corner OF
Sixteenth and Valencia streets, and a
desperate fight ensued. Charges of
drunkenness were made against Skelly
by some of the men In the saloon, but
Lieutenant Lewis and Sergeant OCon-
nor were unable to find any one VINO
would make the accusation TO them
Skelly was relieved from duty by Ser
geant OConnor, pending an investiga-
tion Of the charges The patrolman at
tributes the attempt to get him into
trouble as spite work, and says that he
was merely doing his duty when he
met with resistance.
About o'clock last night Skelly,
who patrols the Sixteenth street beat,
went into the rear rooms of the Cos
mopolitan saloon, conducted by keefe,
and ordered out three women of ques-
tionable character. They refused to go,
and the officer was ejecting them when
the bartender, Carl Johnson, interfered,
assisted by several hangers-on. The
men tried to take Skellys pistol and
club from him, but were unsuccessful
The policeman, who is a powerful man,
fought them off. and in the melee
struck a man named Herman Butts on
the arm. Butts was treated at the Cen
trail Emergency Hospital for a slight
confusion of the head. DIR. McGlnty
says Butts was drunk.
The crowd, incensed at the police
man, spread a story that Skelly was
drunk and had run amuck
The names of the ladies" could not
be learned. Storekeepers on Skelly's
beat say that he was not drunk, and his
condition when seen shortly after the
fight bears out their statement.
