The San Francisco call., 1906-11-04

commander at Ingleside, he was NOT
informed Of the extraordinary descent
upon his camp until a representative
OF me Call conveyed the information
10 him. Kilian did not like the idea
OF having the disturbing element sent
20 MIN In any such way He imme-
oiateiy issued orders that under no
circumstances was Mrs. Kelly or Mrs
AeiIy's cottage to be admitted to the
camp He instructed his gatekeeper
that Lieutenant Scott's orders in the
matter were to be disregarded. He
notified Lieutenant Scott that if Ru-
dolph Spreckels, head of the depart
ment of camps, insisted upon Mrs.
AelIys going in, that he, Kilian. would
resign.
MRS KELLY'S JOURNEY.
In the meantime Mrs Kelly was
being dragged to Inglesfde. A crowd
or sympathizers followed behind.
Three police officers walked between
the house and the crowd to prevent
violence. Mrs. Kelly's eight-year-
daughter ran along behind the officers.
weeping bitterly. 1t was probably the
most extraordinary procession that
ever moved through the streets of San
Francisco.
Before the house had been carried a
mile isguided sympathizer tried to
cut the ropes that bound 1t to the truck.
Had he succeeded in his purpose the
house would have fallen and Mrs. Kel-
ly and her sympathizers would have
been killed. The police saved her
from this fate in the nick of time A
little further on a passing teamster
yelled "scab" to the driver of the house
ladened truck, which so angered the
driver that he tore the banner Mrs.
Kelly carried out OF her hands, bruising

enlfvened the procession all along the
line OF march. After dark, in pelt-
ing rain, the house was brought to a
standstill outside the gates of Ingle-
side.
DENIED ADMITTANCE.
Captain Kilian informed the police
man in charge that he had all the
houses at Ingleside he needed, didn't
want any more, and wouldn't admit
one-especially when occupied by Mrs.
Kelly. The policeman wanted to know
what should be done with her and the
house, to which Kilian answered that
it was no affair of his. But being
told that the women in the house had
had nothing to eat since morning, he
sent them hot supper. AS Mrs
Kelly received this evidence of kind
ness she broke down for the first time
in particularly strenuous day, and
the tears streamed down her face
Kilian heard Of the tears and did a
little relenting on his own account.
Besides, the thought of three unpro-
tected women IN house on a truck,
out in the storm, was somewhat dis
concerting to Kilian. He sent her
word that If she would agree to con-
form to the rules of the camp, and not
create disturbance, that she should
be admitted and taken care Of Mrs.
Kelly's reply was characteristics:
My desire is to stay in my cottage
she said. 'I didn't come here of my
free viii. I shall observe the rules
of my house I will not agree to COM
ply with the rules of any camp
So Mrs. Kelly and her house remained
outside the gates at Inglesfde last
night Men and women who passed
peeked through the partly shaded win
dows curiously. They didn't see much:
only a sad old woman in a bare room
whose anger had melted into tears at
an act of simple kindness.
KILIAN'S STATEMENT.
Captain KiIian made the following
statement last night:
Mrs. Kelly has been a disturbing
element and a trouble-maker If ad-
mitted to this camp she will stir up
i'll feeling and get the 4s2 inmates, who
are well satisfied, discontented. The
