RUMOR BUSY
AT FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 2.-The
Japanese consul and Metcalf went
into secret conference this morn
ing to discuss the exclusion of
Japanese from San Francisco
schools. The cir of mystery main
tanned by Metcalf and the consul
led to circulation OF various ru.
mors, one to the effect that the
consul is in possession OF import
ant instructions from his home
government. Another Is that Met
calf had additional. instructions
from Washington Of great import
ance.
Counsel for the Japanese today
filed request in the United States

pending to restrain the board OF
education excluding Japanese from
the schools, In order that represen.
tatives of the TWO countries might
not be hindered in efforts to reach

STILL after
D0Ak

Sheriff Doak's supporters are
spreading a report abroad that he
has fixed things up with the Elec-
trical Workers union and that he
has been restored to the good
graces Of the working people of
this county. Members of the
union deny this emp!atically. The
linemen and electricians say that
they have been treated unjustly
and unfairly by the sheriff and that
every member of their union who
is registered will vote for some
other candidate than Doak. They
claim that he represents the cor
porations of this county and that
he gave the Washington Water
Power company every assistance
within his power during the line

don't ask sheriff to discriminate
in favor or organized labor, but
they do want a man in that office
who will realize that he is serv-
ing all the people and will give
them square deal"

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 Bryan has
written a letter to Bird S. Coler,
saying:

Hearst elected. Would have come
to New York to help him, but see
he is going to win anyway. If |
have any friends there | want them
to vote for him."
Odds of five to one against
Hearst weer offered today. Wolf
Brothers announced they had been
commissioned to bet $4,000 to
$4,000 on Hughes. Few IL any
actual bets are recorded, Henry
Clews says he will bet $4,000 even
that Hughes gets a plurality OF

cRILLS HEARST
Numerically

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-Secretary
Roots speech at Utica last night,
in witch he openly announced he
was speaking for President Roose
welt, has stirred Hearts supporters
to greater efforts than ever, and
the fight today is raging at it's
fiercest.
Root denounced Hearst unmerci-
fully, declaring that he was re-
sponslble for the assassination of
Mckinley through the attacks
made upon the late president by
Hearst papers. The secretary of
state characterized Hearst as the
most dangerous type of demagogue
and denounced his protestations of
friendship for the working man as
insincere in every particular.
His castigation of Hearst in re-
gard to public abuse of President
Mckinley was extremely severe.
Extracts from Hearst papers of the
period preceding the Spanish war
were quoted at length in support
Of the speakers assertions.
Fluctuations on the stock ex-
change today resulted in a rise in
prices. The street laid particular
stress on the unmistakable collapse
of the Hearst campaign under the
death blows delivered by the presi.
dent.

PLUMBERS GET
ULT|MATUM
Oe''"'''~"
4 f0nl\I
( lUUA|

A heated meeting occurred at the
new Turner building, corner First
av. and Howard ST., this morning
between Fred Brant and w. 81
mons, representing the Plumbers
union, on the one side and Con-
tractor James Smyth, Architect
Intel and Nose Oppenheimer on
the other.
The union plumbers who quit
were willing to go back to work
providing the men now employed
on the building were discharged.
Contractor Smyth refused to do
this, and gave his ultimatum that
unless the union settled its trou-
BILE tonight he would put three non
union plumbers to work in the
morning. These men are now in
the city, having come here with
Smyth last night from Portland,
Ore.
Smyth claims the trouble all
arose over the unions demanding
style of plumbing styled the old
Grown" vent. The Job he is put
ting in on the Turner building IS
called venting in the rough" In
this job the vent is a straight pipe
between the walls above the toilet
Pushes. This Smyth claims pre-
vents the basin from cyphoning
after being flushed, and at the
same time there is no chance for
1t to become clogged and useless,
as the Grown" vent does.
The plumbers, on the other hand,
base their contention upon the
claim that this Smyth vent will
fill up and become useless. Smyth
says the vent he is putting in the
Turner building will do away with
extra joints and thus reduce the
amount of work done by plumbers,
wherefore they fight him
Nose Oppenheimer, as agent for
the building and spokesman for ex-
Senator George Turner, the owner,
told the plumbers that It was up
to them, as the work must be fin
ished in some manner and the sena-
tor was determined to have the
job bgo in according to the present
plans.
Councilmen Estep and Phillips
were also at the building, but did
not Join much In the conversation,
AS Representatives of the city coun-
Gil they were there to form ideas
of the trouble.
James Smyth has card up his
sleeve. so he says, which he will
reveal when the question of
changing the plumbing ordinance
Is brought up. He says there is a
three story brick structure here
on which supposedly expert plumb
ers have faxed" their work, and
have made no connections with the
vent pipe at all, but have smooth
ed off the job nicely on the outside
to look as though connection had
been made.

Croker's part in the campaign,

that Croker is now living In exile

REEVES FINDING
HELD Up BY
BOARD

The Investigation Of Special Pc.
liceman Reeves was held this
morning, but the board of police
commissioners With cid any de-
cision in the matter. 1t is doubted
II the matter will go any further
than the mayor ordering Chief OF
Police Waller to hereafter assign
regular policemen at football games
instead of specials.
Reeves was charged by Rev. w.
j. Hindley with conduct unbecom-
ing an officer in using brutal force
in ejecting a son Of w. G. Payne
from the football game at Natator-
ium park last Saturday.
Reverend Hindley testified that
while the officer had young Payne
by the coat collar he punched him
in the back of the head so hard
Reeves's hand bled from the force
of the blows. Three married
women in the grandstand arose
and called for some one to protect
the boy. He claimed Reeves was
greatly excited and used alto
gether too much force.
Harold Cook also testified to
brutality on the officers part. He
heard high school boys say Lets
mob him!"
Young Payne when examined
said he didn't call Reeves names
and that the officer punched him
in back of the head.
Reeves in reply admitted Jerking
the boy bebcause he was resisting
and calling the officer vile names.
He said young Payne tried to take
up stone near the entrance. Other
boys, Reeves said, shouted to their
companion to brain him with a
rock!"
G. O. Brownell told OF young
Paynes resistance to the officer
and said he could see there was
good prospects Of free for all
fight. He heard two or three men
threatening the officer. He said
in answer to Counsel Alex M. Wins
ton that the officer might have
taken the boy out by other means
than Jerking, but Reeves did no
more than he would do under SINH
lar circumstances
George H. Baker. United States
marshal, was with the special
when the trouble commenced. He
said Reeves was not particularly
rough, but that the boy resisted
and the officer had to take him by
the collar and shove him from the
grounds. He did not see the
officer strike the boy.
G. F. Clukey, manager Of high
school athletics, hired Reeves to
keep order. He said FIVE boys
started across the field with Pa
trolman McQuillan after them.
Young Payne hesitated about run
ming and Reeves grabbed him and
elected him. Reeves jerked the
boy but did not strike him.
Harry Richards, of the Washing
ton Water Power Co, saw the af-
fair and told about the same story
of the ejectment as did Mr.. Clukey.
