several of his friends have been acting
the part of boosters" urging him to
take up the duties he renounced when
his term Of Office expired.
Newhall made an ideal commf ssfoSSr.
He devoted much of his time and u
ergy TO the place and came in for muf'h
favorable criticism from the press and
public. Since quitting the old board
NewhaI has not min gled much with the
politicians, and it was thought he had
forsaken the game forever.
When the Mayor left town on Satur-
day morning he announced that the
new Police Board would probably be
named today. He admitted that be
had several names under consideration
and was awaiting replies from offers
sent to men of his choice.
The Mayor is having a hard time se-
curing the men he wants on the board.
All the likely candidates seem to be so
much taken UP with their business that
they are opposed to accepting any po-
litical glory Others do not want the
place. as most every one knows IL is a
difficult position TO fill and is likely to
make scores Of enemies for any man.
Mr.. Newhal said last night that
Mayor Schmitz had not spoken to him
about becoming a member of the board.

Workmen were engaged in getting
this brass and copper ready for the

saw them returning and laid trap for
them, but the looters smelled rat and

MAY PUT NEWHALL
ON NEW BOARD.
Former Police Commis-

the Choice of Schmitz

According to current gossip around
town yesterday. former Police Commis-
sioner George A. Newhall may again
fill the office he resigned about two
years ago. 1t is said by those who are
in a position to know that Newhall has
been offered the place by Mayor
Schmitz and is now considering the
matter before making his reply.
The Mayor had a talk with Newhall
several days ago and asked him TO ac-
cept a place on the new Police Board
The former commissioner, it is said.
told the chief executive he would con-
slider the matter and give his reply
shortly. Newhall has been thinking it
over ever since and will probably de-
eide this afternoon.
NewhaIl has not been seeking the
position: on the contrary, it has been
seeking him. He has plenty of business

RAIL WAY LABORERS
ARE TO STRIKE.
Employees of United
Railroads Want More
Coin and Shorter Day
WILL TIE UP WORK

More than 1000 men employed by the
United Railroads in construction work
on its various lines throughout this
city will walk out this morning These
men are members OF the Street Rail
road Constructors and Workers and
PAYERS unions. They demand a raise
in wages from 81 to $3.50 a day for
their salaries be raised from $3.50 to
$3.50 for an eight-hour day.
The men decided to strike yesterday
afternoon at a special meeting at 1133
Mission street. This action was taken
by the entire body. 1t had been an
ticipated for some time
According to the workmen, the Unit
ed Railroads officials have been dis
eliminating They claim that some old
workers. employed for a number of
years. have been receiving s2.25 a day.
while the men recently taken on were
paid but 81 day. A number of
Greeks. according to the leaders of the
new movement. were paid s1.50 to 81 a
day.
The workmen say also that several
of their fellow laborers have not been
treated justly by their employers. This
is another Of their grievances. They
will not return to work unless the
United Railroads agrees to take back a
number Of men let out some time ago
for joining the union.
This strike will practically paralyze
the reconstruction work now being
done by the United Railroads The
company has been for some weeks
rushing operations on the McAllister.
Hayes, Sutter, Polk and LaNxin. Va
lencia, Jackson Washington and Sac
ramento street lines. The company
was continually complaining of It's in
a bilftv TO secure workers and gives
this as a reason why several of its
lines are not in operation.
The strike will not interfere with
the running of the cars. The roadbeds
of the lines in operation are in good
shape. according TO the officials of the
company. and therefore no men are
needed for extensive repair work.
The following members of the Street
Railroad Construction Workers Union
have charge of the latest strike: Cap
tain Of Greeks, J. Pantaleon; captain of
the Americans, w. P. Fuller; strikers

~ camp-unromantic as the aver
age refugee camp is. In the
tent of the Good Sisters of the Holy
Family on Saturday afternoon Rev.
Father Buss performed the ceremony
which united in matrimony Charles
Bona and Miss Teresa Lavaroni. There
was a large attendance of the friends
of the pair. who after the wedding left
the tent of the sisters to proceed to
their camping place in the Harbor View
district.
Two years ago when the engage
ment of Bona and Miss Lavaroni was
announced 1t was little thought that
San Francisco would on July p, 1906,
be partly wrecked and many of its peo-
pie living in refugee tents. They had
arranged a wedding, but the awful IRE
of April Is threw the city into con-
fusion and during the subsequent wild
scramble Bona lost trace of his f1ancee,
who had lived at IL Silver street. He
had gone there to find her just as the
conf1agration was spreading rapidly
from the south and the entire South
Park section and its environments were
doomed. The soldiers kept him back,
but he got through the lines and hur-
ried to Miss Lavaroni's home, only to
find it deserted and his sweetheart
gone, no one could tell where.
Then followed many days of anxiety.
Bona found his way to the Coroner's
Office and was appointed a deputy. He
did excellent work during the trying
times that followed the great disaster.
Miss Layaroni had escaped to Berke-
ley, and no sooner had she overcome
her fright than she started out to
search for Bona. The young man was
not any less active in an effort to find
the young woman whom he had deter
mined to wed. Through friends the
two were finally brought together
again and, although Bona had lost
everything he possessed in the world,
the girl was determined to marry him
and share his fortunes.
Bona worked as a teamster and soon
regained some. of his lost earnings.
Miss Lavarona did not want to delay
the wedding and said We'll, if we
have to live in tent for while times
will be better after d while" That
settled it and the day of the weddin &
was set for last Saturday.
AS soon as little home can be built
the happy pair will desert camp life
and start out anew. The romantic
honeymoon will always be a cherished
remembrance of the days of the dawn
of greater and better San Francisco.
