cisco which shall arise win be as much
ahead of the old city as the modern
locomotive Is better than the old prai-
rie schooner or canal boat. Like Gal
weston. Its streets will be broader ana
nned with nobler buildings. Its pal
aces VIII be richer, its stores filled
with better goods. Its people will have
better homes. 1t is all nonsense to talk
about this being the end Of San Fran
cisco. You can no more blot out San
francisco than you can obiiterate New
York or London.
A Better City.
Inen. lastly, congratulate San
francisco because this great sorrow Is
going to result In the purification snd
the cleansing from sin and the conse-
Grafton of Its people to the service of
the Divine Master. The city of San
Francisco has been filed with eastern
people. Most of these people came
from Christian homes. But after many
OF them left the old homesteads they
broke away. or, rather drifted away.
from the old spiritual mornings. They
did as so many eastern people who
nave come TO Los Angeles have done.
They put their church letters In their
trunks and never took them out They
spent their week days in making money
and their Sundays In sport and fun
seeking. In other words, they have
not been children Of God, as their fore
fathers were children OF God. But
now, by the broken fortunes and the
new made graves. these people OF the
northern part OF the state will sur
render their hearts to Jesus Christ.
They will renew their pledges to the
Saviour. And thus with the right hand
they will reach out to the east and
with the left hand they will reach out
70 the far west. and in each of those
hands San Francisco will hold that
sacred book In which are recorded the
promises OF God. upon whom they will
throw themselves In Christian love and
alteration. All. the sufferings have been
great, but out of those sufferings
Christ shall lead his chosen ones, as be
led the children OF Israel OF old.
May we today pray for our bereft
brothers and sisters OF this stricken
city. May we continue to reach ont to
them the helping hand of brotherly
love. And In these times OF sorrow
and desolation may we with them
consecrate our homes. our possessions.
our loved ones and our own hearts To
the Masters service.

COUNCIL CAUTIONED BY
PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
Attention Is Called to Fact That Estimates for
Budget Were Based Upon Old Rate of
Salaries for City Employees

by your honorable body on last Mon
day, the board of public works calls
your attention to the fact that the es-
innate presented by it of the expenses
of the department for 1906-07 was based
upon the schedule of wages and salaries
in force at that time, and was also
made to cover an increased force of
laborers, drivers and sweepers, which
is imperat lively demanded in order that
the work in that department. may be
carried out in the proper way, the
board being of the opinion that the sit
uation demands an increase of force
rather than an increase of wages, TAX
ing into consideration the state of the
citys finances and the labor market.
THE proposed increase of force in
the street department upon which the
budget was based is as follows:
"Laborers. from 1870 to 150
DRIVERS with teams, 80 to so.
DRIVERS of sprinkling wagons, 115 to
1875.
Garbage men, 80 to 40.
"SWeepers, 55 to 65
IF the plans of the board as to in
creased efficiency are to be carried
out by increase of force and your plans
as to increased wages go into effect it
is evident that an increase of the
budget for the street department will
have to be made and we ask that this
oe taken into consideration in deter
mining the action of your honorable
body in these respects"

For three days Deputy City Clerk
David Carroll has been engaged in find
ing out what the city council did when,
at it's meeting a week ago yesterday,
it raised salaries all along the line. He
concluded his labors yesterday and his
figures show that the amount of the
increase in the city's pay roll, due to
the councils generosity, will be $24, 800 a
month.
This amount does not include the
additional pay granted park laborers.
The ordinance granting the increase to
the park department was yesterday re-
called from the mayor by the city coun-
ell because one man, watchman Mt
Central park, had been overlooked and
his name was included in revised Or
dinance
The request of the board of public
works for an increase in the salaries Of
the stenographer from SIS month TO
500 a month and for the assistant Sec
retary from $100 a month to $125 n
month was denied, because as Council
man Smith said the board had lectured
the council in it's report for the day on
the increase in salaries granted the
week before,
Council Is Cautioned
The boards arraignment was not
very severe. 1t was as follows:

salaries and wages in the street de-

Pennsylvania Man Attempts to Assault
Child, Kills Mother and Children
and Sets Fire to the
House
By Associated Press.

by RSSOClHIeu fTeSE
CANONSBURG, Pa, July 30.-Coro-
ner w. Fl. Sipe and Constable John ].
Miller of Canonsburg drove into town
today with Elmer Dempster 19-year-
old negro. who had been arrested for
the murder of Mrs Samuel Pearce
and two children and the shoting of a
third child last evening.
Dempster was taken to the Wash
ington county Jail at Washington, Pa.
He was a helper on the Pearce farm
He was taken from his bed at O'clock
this morning and put through a course
of sweating which lasted until day
light, when it is alleged he made a
complete confession.
The only things missing from the
Pearce home are $12 and the revolver
with which Mrs. Pearce and her two
children were murdered.
Robert Pearce, 8 years old, the only
survivor of the tragedy. who was
shot through the body, will be brought
to the Canonsburg general hospital in
an effort to save his life.
According to the story told in his
confession, young Dempster attempted
to assault the 4-year-old daughter af-
ter the departure of Mr.. Pearce, but
was frustrated by the mother, who
went to a bureau to get a revolver
to shoot him. The negro says he Sc
cured the gun first and, after killing
the mother and shooting the children,
set fire to the. house to hide the crime.

hands of a committee, and consequently
it had not been deemed proper for Mr..
Mathews to appear in person. He said
the committee which he represented be-
lieve6 an injustice had been done to it's
candidate in the issuance of the call,
and he was there as a representative of
Mr.. Mathews to plead with the con-
gressional committee for a correction.
In reply to a question from Luther
Brown, Mr.. Goudge said that the
Mathews campaign committee included
Messrs. North, Austin, Cadwallader,
Will A. Harris, New berry, Adams, Maj.
Lee, F. H. Tafe and Giffen.
Injustice Is Charged
George B. Mclaughlin said he ap-
peared before the committee in behalf
of Mr.. Mathews to request that the city
and country primaries bo rved for the
same date, namely, August IA, and
he asked for an explanation as to
why the dates had been separated
in the call. He declared that
the present date for the country
primaries worked an injustice to Mr.
Mathews in that it did not give him
time to shape up his campaign in those
districts, whereas Mr.. McLachlan al
ready had his organization well in hand
and consequently would have a big ad-
vantage over his opponent.
Mr.. Lawler interpoSed with state
ment to the effect that If the fixing of
primaries for August 2 was dis
advantageous for one candidate it
would prove equally so for the
other. to which Mr.. Goudge replied
by calling attention to the fact that
Mr.. Mathews was a comparative
stranger in the country and that not
withstanding the fact that he decided
to make an effort to secure the nomina-
ton some time ago 1t was practically
impossible for a man situated as he
was to make campaign without know
ing the date on which the primaries
were to be held. He said the action of
the congressional committee reminded
him of the man who challenged another
to a foot race and said: you may start
when / give the word" He contended
that the argument that the call was as
fair to one candidate as to the other
was specious. but not conclusive. 1t
was a case where one candidate had a
large number of friends in the country
and the other was comparatively un-
known. There could be n possible dis
advantage to Mr.. McLachlan, he de-
clared, in consolidation of the primary
dates.
Tells Of 1898 Campaign
At this point Mr.. Brown, against
whom a number of hot shots already
had been directed. called attention to
the provisions Of the call of 1898, and
said:
I'm that campaign r. 7. Waters, who
now is a member of the Mathews cam
paign committee, was making the race
for congress against Mr.. McLachlan
Mr.. Waters had unlimited funds at his
command while Mr.. McLachlan then,
as now, was one of the poorest men in
the county and yet see what this COM
mittee did. The assembly districts We're
divided into sub-dissricts, and in each
of these sub-districts one polling place
was established This meant that many
of Mr.. McLachlans friends, who were
as poor as he, could not afford to take
the time or stand the expense of going
to the polls We insisted on fair play
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-31

from the committee at that time but
failed to get it,
Mr.. Goudge replied that he was will
ing to PLEAD guilty to the crimes of the
Waters congressional committee, but he
also pointed out that Mr.. Brown had
demanded fair play, just as Mr..
Mathews friends were doing now, and
he could see no reason why the COM
Dlittoe should not heed the appeal, even
though the Waters committee had not
done so.
Mr.. McLachIan Explains
Considerable time was taken up with
an explanation as to why the protest
from the Mathews camp had not been
presented sooner, and then Congress-
man McLachlan was called upon for a
statement IS to his views regarding the
request for a change of dates. Mr.. Nc
LachlaE declared that no member of
the congressional committee had ever
received any suggestion from him as to
the provisions of the call, and he would
not admit for moment that he had
been given an iota of advantage. 1.-The
st,-tement that l have an organization
in the country districts is not true" he
continued. II cid not believe that
would have need for an organization
l believed that my work in congress
entitled me TO denomination without
opposition, sbut when l arrived home
from Washington a short time ago
found contest in full force. ] have
secured for the people of my district
more than they have asked for, and
never dreamed that an organization
would be necessary to obtain for me
what l consider my just deserts.
Wants Contest to Be Fair
"The Date on which the primaries are
held is immaterial to me. I desire,
however. to say that l shall insist that
the contest be fair and free. l shall
refuse to accept a nomination on any
other terms. All ask is a fair show.
This call is as fair to Mr.. Mathews as
it Is to me. Whatever the date you
fix it should not be the same as the one
on which the county primaries are held.
If you wish to change the date l wish
you to remember that 1 am not OBJ
jecting."
Following Mr.. McLachlan's remarks
the committee went into executive ses-
sion and decided to change the date for
holding the country primaries to August
o, providing the Mathews committee
would agree to share the expense of
getting out another call and posting the
necessary notices. Meantime, however,
Mr. Mathews representatives had left
the hall. and an adjournment was taken
to o'clock to give committee time to
wait on the Mathews committee and
obtain it's reply to the proposition.

CAN'T SEE SHINING STARS

Oil Inspector Blackmar yesterday
protested to the city council that the
street car companies refused to recog-

while in the pursuit of their duties and
asked that the salaries of these deputies
be raised SIS month to pay car fare.
The franchises of the street railway
companies compel the recognition Of
police stars instead of nickels by city
employees. and the city attorney was in
structed to investigate ana take such
action as he saw fit
