ANARCHY OF SAN FRANCISCO.

California Christian Advocate The
San Francisco Garments strike has
now continued for about three months.
wages and incidentals to maintain the
strike is estimated by the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, 100000. The indi-
rect loss to the working people of this
stricken city is probably as much
more. The merchants, contractors
and general commercial classes lave
suffered loss of nearly as much. 1t
is impossible to trace the effects OF
this appalling financial loss. In add
ition to the suffering of the 1000 strik-
ing carmen, hundreds and probably
thousands of clerks have been dis
charged on account of lack of employ
ment due to strike conditions.
Great as is the financial loss, the
greatest in the history of the city, yet
the loss in higher values is inestimably
greater. The generation and cultiva-
ton of coarse brutality; the murder
Gus and rancorous spirit which has
dominated the streets of San Fran
cisco for the past 100 days, have low
cred the average manhood of the city
by many degrees. The confidence OF
the public at large has been broken.
The tide of marvellous prosperity
which was rising to the dimensions
of an Astounding wave, has BEEN
turned back.
This is not all The actual suffer-
ing of the working classes has been
very great. The families of the car
men have suffered and will suffer.
They have been driven from their
homes. Thousands have been com
PEELED to leave the city and are drift
ing aimlessly about under a binding
sense of injustice. Nearly every
sort of loss has a -compensating side
but the strike has none. II a city is
burnt down the work necessary to re-
build 1t is an asset. Even the de-
struction of war creates new and
generally better conditions, but the
strike is form of bitter desperation
in the civil order. 1t is essentially
anarchy, no matter what the provoca-
ton. It's basic moral principle is
vengeance, personal retaliation, an
attempt to right wrong without a
! process Of civil procedure
! If God has made any revelation tn
man 1t Is to the effect that blind rage
! is weakness. Back of all the social
and political trouble in San Francisco
is lawlessness. The disgraced and
convicted mayor practically proclaim
ed at the beginning of his administra-
ton that 1t was not necessary to obey
the law. He definitely stated that
under strike conditions the law
would not be enforced. He is essen
TALLY and first an anarchist. His
stealings are personal sins bad
enough, but the treacherous principle
of his reign of vice has been anarchy
No one should be deceived. San Fran
cisco has been in an anarchstic con-
dition from the day that he took oath
OF office. The end is not yet Unless
the press OF San Francisco changes
its moral tone and stands for law
and order we are but in the begin
ming of fermentation and disintegra-
ton. The strike is form of anarchy
which breeds economic death.

WickERsHAM ABANDONED.
President Said to Have Decided H<

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 49,
There was report here today that the
president had decided not to nominate
Judge James Wickersham for judge OF
the second division of Alaska, but is
to nominate Harry Ballenger of Port
Townsend, Wash.
A decision of this kind means a
victory for Senators Nelson of Mime

ceeded in preventing favorable action
by the committee on judiciary. 1t was
at their request that the president or
dered an investigation by District At
tOrney HOyt of nome, whose report
was received some time ago. It is said
Hoyt found charges were not substan
tiated, but that change, if made
would be to promote harmony, in view
of the fact that the community is di
vided on this long-fought case.
The probability that the president
is going to abandon Wickersham was
indicated at the White House today
when it was stated, in answer to the
inquiry, that no decision had been
reached on his case. Powerful influ
ence is being brought to bear upon
the president to retain Wickersham
but it looks as though it might not
prevail.

Cars Men Work Hardships 10
Set Confession.
WAS KEPT AWAKE FOR EIGHT DAYS
<INGS ENDURED BY POLITl.
CAL SUSPECT.

BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-Maxim Gorky, in
la letter to friends, describes the med
ical system of torture to which Mich
|olas Schmidt of Moscow, political
suspect was subjected. One who has
endured the sufferings of insomnia
can best sympathize with Schmidt's
agonies. The cars secret police
would not let him sleep wink for a
period of eight days, and then took
designedly, the rawlings of his disor
dered brain as his confession of guilt
Gorky writes:
Schmidt is a student at the Uni
versity of Moscow and very rich, own
ing Moscow furniture factory where
the best art furniture is made. He is
young and gentle by nature. He con
sidered it his duty to improve the
condition of the workingmen in his fac
tory. This disposition gave him the
reputation of being liberal, and con
sequently to the police, of being dang
erous politically.
''One day the secret police seized
schmidt and forced him to look on
while soldiers attacked his factory and
shot to death several of his men. Then
he was taken to the department of the
secret police, threatened with death
and subjected to an examination
which lasted almost continuously for
eight days, the police in relays inter.
rogating him.
Schmidt was not permitted to sleep
during all this time. AS soon as he
began to doze, the police watching and
questioning him shouted: oh, you
want to sleep, do your and struck him
and shook him by the collar. After
this eight days inquiry was com
pleted Schmidt was taken from the
cell to make his deposition. Of course
he was in an abnormal mental condi-
ton, and his testimony probably bore
the stamp of Gelirium Indeed, he him
self understood this.
After two days rest in prison he
was taken before the examining magis-
trate and accused of organizing and
participating in an insurrection
against the car. A confession was
demanded from him. Schmidt declared
that all he had said previously was
forced from him by threats and was a
lie, and that he had done nothing dis
loyal. He was taken again to the Sc
cret police department and after two
sleepless days and nights Schmidt,
again terrified, brain weary, almost in
collapse confessed all he had said
there before.
Now Schmidt is being tried on the
evidence he gave against himself
that is, the rawlings tortured from him. -

Waterman Reports He Witnessed Bru

Summer Resort.

POTTSVILLE, Pa, Jan. 1S.-Henry
Reichert, Waterman at the summer
cottage at Tumbling Run lake neal
here, notified the police here that he
was an eye witness last night of the
murder of a woman who was first
beaten to death and then flung into
the lake. Corroborative evidence of his
story has been found on the shores OF
the lake, and diligent search is be
ing made for the body and for the muir
derers. The police claim they have q

Schuylkill families may be involved
Reichert says that he saw four men
beating the woman at an unoccupied
summer cottage. The woman prayed
for mercy and fought desperately, but
was knocked insensible, put into a
buggy and taken to the lake. There she
revived and fought, but the men beat
her to death with stones and flung her
body into the lake.

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-The remarkable
case of child, Ruth Godfrey. who was

The child, who is s years old, was
