WASHINGTON April S.--Every Hot
tentot in Cape Colony who has the price
has an organ in his parlor, and 1t is OF
American make, too is the report of an
American who has just returned from
that country.
1t took time and perseverance on the
part of Yankee statesmen to wean the
dusky aborigine away from his favorite
tom, but the feat was finally ac-
complished.
Now it is by no means unusual in
passing a natives establishment to
hear the strains of "A Hot Time in the
Old Town" or "All Coons Look Alike
to Me" laboriously picked out with one
finger on the modern instrument by a
eaffron-hued belle of the tropics, while
the proud parent squats beside the
front door and grunts approval between
puffs at his picturesque pipe.
No effort has yet been made to record
the weird native music Of the Hotten-
tots.
When this is done it may be neces-
sary to install a special keyboard on
the organs.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 8. - The
fiercest riot San Francisco has wit
messed in a generation was a sequel
this evening to a meeting of Socialists
held today at Woodward's pavilion, as
an expression of sympathy for Presi-
dent Meyer and Secretary Haywood of
the Western Federation of Miners, who
are imprisoned in Idaho on the accusa-
tion that they were implicated in the
assa ssination of Ex-Governor Steunen-
berg. At the meeting some typically
violent Socialistic speeches were made
in which it was declared that Meyer
and Haywood were innocent, and that
If convicted they would not be hanged
unless the entire United States army
was brought in to assist in their exc
cution. At the conclusion of the
speech making a procession was organ
ized and the participants marched
down Market street headed by a band.
At the corner of Kearney and Market
streets a halt was made and one of the
paraders who carried a red banner
climbed Lotta's fountain and affixed
the emblem to the topmost lamps. The
banner bore the inscription: "The con-
stitution be damned so say the corpor-
ations.'
Bloody Riot Starts
1t was decided by the leaders to hold
an out of door meeting and A. c. Nc
Ginty was selected to address the
crowd. So great was the throng, how
ever, that he could not make himself
heard and George S. Holmes, a metal
worker, with a powerful voice was
substituted as speaker. He was in the
midst of his talk when Policemen Jack

tective Thomas Ryan made their way
through the crowd Ryan tore down
the red flag and passed it to Stelzner.
Ryan then ordered Holmes to deSiSt,
but was met with a refusal and the
detective pulled Holmes down to the
pavement. In moment a riot was
precipitated. Stelzner was seized.
knocked down and kicked in a vicious
hand to-hand fight, the crowd seeking

beating back the crowd with clubs. The
flag was torn from Stelzner's grasp and
then Ryan, who had held Holmes all of
the time, started to take his prisoner
through the crowd, beating path with
his club.
Az electric car was passing and
halted opportunely for the detective.
He boarded it and the other officers

LAKEWOOD, N. j., April S.-John D.
Rockefeller and grocer in this village
who supplies him with provisions, it
was learned today, had a tilt over the
telephone Friday night concerning the
price of oil.
The grocer charged the magnate four
teen cents a gallon for kerosene oil.
Rockefeller called him up and said:
Hello, this is Rockefeller, you have
charged me fourteen cents gallon for
oil. That is high-yes indeed, very
high
"Oh, no, Mr. Rockefeller" replied the
grocer. Your company makes me pay
thirteen cents a gallon and couldn't
sell it for that and keep my store open,
could II"
The oil king thought for moment
and then returned in a conciliatory
voice: Indeed? Well, you couldn't
charge much less, then, could you?"
After the grocer had said mo, sir
the Standard Oil chief said "Good-by."

DEALS BLOW TO
INSURANCE MEN
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
TACOMA, Wash, April S.-Secretary
of State Nichols, ex-off1cio insurance
commissioner, has ruled that the Wash
ington Insurance association cannot
exercise censorship over insurance
rates quoted by agents in this state;
that the maintenance of a rate-making
bureau which furnishes rates to insur-
ance companies is not illegal, but any
attempt to compel all agents to observe
these rates cannot be permitted. The
secretary of state handed down his de-
cision yesterday in which he requested
insurance companies to abandon their
plan of submitting all reports through
the Washington Insurance association.
The effect of this request is an order
abolishing censorship on insurance
written by board companies.
Lumbermen Start Fight
The fight against the Washington In
surance association was made on behalf
of a group of lumber manufacturers.
The lumbermen insisted they were dis
criminated against and raised the point
that the association was an insurance
trust, doing business In defiance of
anti-combtne laws of the state.
Heretofore all insurance has been re-
ported to San Francisco agents through
the office of Lee Mckenzie, insurance
adjuster of the Washington Insurance
association. The practice, when rates
have not been followed, has been to call
the attention of local agents and San
Francisco representatives, demanding
an explanation. In this manner the
rate sheets have been upheld strictly.
In his opinion, the secretary of state
declares supervision by the insurance
association does away with the freedom
of intercourse between the insured and
the insurer and that 1t must be stopped.
The decision is entirely satisfactory
to the mill men, who believe they have
broken the backbone of the insurance
association.
