tween the flags above the Speaker s

know the commission is in earnest IN

ORDER To RESIGN AND
STICK To THEIR POSTS
Friends of Federal Officers
May Succeed in Move

GET MERCHANTS AID
Claim That Only Political
Reasons Prompted the
Demand to Quit
GET MERCHANTS AID

Chauncey M. ST. John. Deputy Gus
puted yesterday and was the sole oc-
cupant of the Federal chair at the desk
of his duties in the custom house. O.
H, Eiinn. who had been appointed by
Chief Customs Surveyor Woodward to
I'LL the place which st. John was told
TO vacate. did not appear to claim the
Office
Blinn's inactivity in the matter was
not altogether matter of conjecture
St Johns friends spent g very busy
day. Ever since The Call announced
the fact that Assistant Secretary of
Treasury J. B. Reynolds had ordered
st. john to resign the latter's friends
have been working hard for him. They
have demanded that he be not deposed
unless for cause and they deny that he
has been incompetent. They declare
that his official head was demanded by
Secretary Reynolds on request OF
Woodward for political reasons only"
Not only San Francisco shippers were
working for st. John yesterday, but
Oakland merchants and business men
also were busy in his behalf Secre-
tary of the Navy Metcalf was appealed
to and the fact that Blinn did not ap-
ply for the chair which ST. John fills
was attributed by those familiar with
Federal politics to the influence of
Metcalf
St John had been notified that his
resignation must be in before D. m.
yesterday. But he did not comply and
declared to his friends that he would
resist any effort TO put him out of office.
For the time being at least, he has
won. and Blinn. who was adjuster of
duties until appointed by Woodward to
I'LL st. Johns position, still retains his
old job. Charles Marple. who was slated
by Woodward to step into Blinn's POSI-
tion, is still unpromoted.
Appraiser John T. Dare. whose resig-
nation was requested by Senator Per-
kins. refuses to bulge and in reply to
accusations that shippers are unsatis-
fed with him, is collecting evidence,
most of which is being volunteered by
the largest exporters and importers In
the city. as to his ability and integrity.
He declares he will not resign.
Both st. John and Dare feel that to
give up their Offices without resistance
would imply that they had not filled
their posts creditably. They have re-
ceived the support of many exporters
and importers in their stand against
summary retirement and they argue
that this support shows that the de-
mand for their designations was
prompted by only political reasons.

William E. Coulter to Be
Prosecuted for Murder

Narrates Tale of Fathers
Shocking Acts of
Cruelty
CHILD TELLS STORY


Because Mrs. Annie Coulter died
without accusing her husband OF. the
beatings she had endured at his brutal
hands, it may be impossible to bring
the man to trial on charge of mur-
der. YETI after listening to the hor
rible tale as 1t was told by the two
little girls. Grace and Jessie. who call
the man father" the police are deter
mined to make William E. Coulter an
swer for his inhuman crime.
The attention of the department was
first called to the facts on Thursday,
when Frank Gordon, brother of the dy-
ing woman. reported that his sister
was at the California Womans Hospital
In critical condition brought about
by the beatings administered by her
husband. Two detectives were sent at
once to the hospital. Braig and Taylor
remained all night at the bedside of
the injured woman, waiting for the
moment when she should regain con-
scfopsness and be able to make an
antemortem statement. But the woman
died in silence, the word of accusa-
tion unspoken
Miss Grace Mackenzie, the matron Of
the hospital, admits that she knew OF
the circumstances, but, IN spite or the
provision of the law which makes the
giving of such information to the
police mandatory, she said nothing
Consequently 1t falls upon the little
daughter, who is scarcely Is years old
and pupil in the grammar school, TO
tell the frightful story of her father s
crime in courtroom. That she is
ready to do this she asserted amid her
tears yesterday afternoon, when she
was taken by her uncle to the office
of the Chief of Police. There she told
of the many times she had seen her
father beat her mother-"a mere hand
full OF a woman, and he a brute of 200
pounds weight" as the uncle of the
children puts 1t. On Thanksgiving day.
the little girl said she remembered
that her father had dragged her mother
across the room by her arms, pulled
her back again by the feet and varied
the torture by kicking her prostrate
body and twisting her limbs.
Coulter has been arrested and his
name placed upon the detinue book, as
the police are not certain. what charge
can be proved against him. He is ap-
parently a strange type of brute, as all
the family assert that he was. a total
abstainer from liquor He is employed
as motorman by the United Railroads.

quently in San Francisco, but her
grandmother was probably a Ken
tuckian or Tennesseean. H. c. Q.
Freedom from restraint, made possi-
bic both by climate and broader social
tenets, probably makes the women of
California more healthy and athletic
and. therefore. naturally more pleasing
TO the tye than those of other regions.
As the slave women of the Orient and
the occupants of the harems are gem
orally stupid and dull of expression, so
unnecessary restraint or confinement of
any extent is likely to make women
anywhere less bright in just that de-
gree Character, of course, makes
beauty,.but will admit there are some
women without it who are fair to look
upon-for awhile All beauty without
character, though. like fish, must be
kept on ice.
California should win the prize for
beauty in this country, for in our cos
mopolitan population we have, besides
our own handsome women, the fair de-
scendants of all nations, who, under the
influence of California climate and the
attendant outdoor life. have taken on
new charm. as the rose transplanted
from other climes blossoms better here.
There must be grace of figure and
carriage and intelligence where there
is to be beauty. whether the candidate
be sylphlike, a Juno, blonde or brunette.
The California woman is both graceful
and intelligent.
The Calls contest will show the
world that fruits and wines are not all
the splendid products in which Califor-
MIA leads. P. r. E..

whose salaries were raised to an ag-
