Special Correspondence
San Francisco. June "a conciiia-
ton committee composed of well-mean-
ing but easily discouraged citizens has
held it's final meeting with several
strikes still unsettled. That did not
nrevent the committee from issuing
a splendid declaration of principles.
After some labor leaders had with
drawn because things were not going
their way, the other members declared:
1--WE affirm that Industrial peace IN II
self does not always mean true well
fare Tor the community. II may go
hand in hand with an affect status
Of labor or with economic conditions
prohibitive to capital. 1t Is proposed
soon to hold an industrial peace con-
ference and get some sage advice froIa
Secys. Straus, Metcalf and GARFIELD.
PLANS TO CHECK GRATING
The vast amount of official grating
done here of late has caused some well
defined plans to be made to check
thievmg IN the future by means OF an
auditing agency. THIS agency Us ~
be non official in character ana 10 pe
operated at cost of Sl0O,oOO raised
by private subscription. 1t Is estlmat-
ed that il Will save the city over 90,
600 900 and lessen the aniual mul nc pa
expenditure to something IKE SoVVo,vuv,
skeptical as to lie success OF the new
plan because If officials sworn TO keel,
the law have stolen in the past what
is to prevent private experts irotii
criminal connivance incidental 10
the new plan, however, Is the state
ment that Detective w. j. Burns, who
has run the grafters TO earth VIII I'VE

JUDGE HEBBARD BITTER.
Rather than have Gov. Gillett sfflict
the state with n special session OF tho
LEGISLATURE to impeach him. Superior
Judge j. c. Il. Hebbard tried to XIII
himself the other day. lie Is very
hitter against the local bar association
for recommending his Impeachment,
and he accuses most of its members
of gross ignorance OF the law.
REFUGEES MUST GO.
The refugees have TO go and that
soon. There are some $4,000 OF them
living in 5000 little green cottages scat
tered over 10 public parks, and IN less
than two months they must md quar-
ters elsewhere. The ministers of the
city say that the state of morality In
MANY of the camps has reached so low
point that reform could not be ac-
compished except by wiping the camp
ont of existence 1T Is stated that an
irregular family life has sprung up and
that boys and girls are in lamentable
condition of debauchery.
COMPLIMENTS EXCHANGED,
Brigadier General Frederick Funston
has successfully closed the incident AS
10 his objecting to the federal troops
narading on the Fourth of July for
lear OF their being jeered at by the ''as
vet unwhipped mob The whole affair
created scarcely a ripple and would
have been entirely unnoticed had the
Lee tsa inter-
preted. The daily newspaper which
started the rumpus. made a deadly
thrust when II publicly doubted that
Funston even swan the Bag Bag river
ana the general In reply termed his
opponent "a sweet scented organ OF
anarchy and disorder
UNDERWRITERS UNEASY.
With the summer trade winds set in
with a vengeance and the highly IN
iammable character OF many OF the
buildings of this city the problem of
fires and Insurance is very grave
one and daily becoming more and more
grave. Several recent disastrous fires
have set the citizens thinking how to
prevent future CONGREGATIONS Every
body has been so busy with rebuilding
and trying to avoid strikes that nobody
has thought very much about fire pro-
lection. Insurance has gone skyward
and on the front door of one prominent
company is this significant notice: mo
city business written. Please do not
ask u.s.
CRUEL HOAX.
The supervisors are looking for the
man who started the story that they
would have TO disgorge the money made
since the fire through the courtesy of
several corporations and liberal cti-
zens who We're willing TO pay for spe-
cial privileges. The graft prosecutors
have as yet taken no steps in that di-
roction and 1t was cruel hoax 10
Tighten the docle officials into putting
heir easy money under cover One SUI
pcrvlsor who sells good, bad and indif-
ferent cigars 10 his collea cues came
near filing petition In involuntary
insolvency and another in whose saloon
IA man alleged he was robbed almost
had III of nervous probation.
SCHOOL TEACHERS PAY.
Tho school teachers are making gal
liant night TO keep the politicians and the
merchants from getting any OF the
money which rightfully belongs 10 them
as salaries In view OF the prevalent
high prices for everything the teach
ers md their poy barely enough to live
ON decoDtly and they do not propose
funds specifically designated 10 the
cduoators' An appeal has been made
10 the courts and II looks very much as
though the active political workers
were TO suffer the hitherto novel ex-
perlence Of a defeat ae the hands Of an
underpaid literau.
JAP INCIDENT CLOSED.
It is with a feeling OF great relief
that we VIII not have to fight Lamar
because hoodlums wrecked a Japanese
restaurant to punish cook who
rushed at them with carving knife.
The Horse Shoe restaurant will sue
the city for damages and with a liberal
award Of damages assured we can turn
our wafilke faces from the orient 10
