every material that is soft enough
to be shirred successfully, and this
season that means a whole host of
lovely and attractive things In ad-

goiles and the marquisettes there are

charming treated after this manner.
The finish can be any banding that

The girdle is simple full one, draped

SAN FRANCISCO'S GRAFT WAR
Mayor Schmitz Delegates His
Powers to a Committee.
Rebuilding of the City Practically at
o StandstilI Because of Strikes
Ruefs Confession Challenged.

San Francisco, Cal.-The Commit
tee of Seven, which has undertaken to
restore confidence and reconstruct the
city government, held long session.
The meeting was secret, but it was
announced that resolution had been
agreed on calling on Chief of Police
Dinan to resign because of failure to
protect the interests of the city dur
ing the street car strike.
The committee has procured from
Mayor Schmitz written agreement
to execute any recommendations
agreed upon, all reports to the con-
!rary Notwithstanding.
The committee will gradually ex-
tend the scope of it's actions to the
works board, Street Department and
other branches of the municipal gov
5rnment.
I'VE hold Mayor Schmitzs written
promise to carry out the wishes and
Instructions of the committee in ad-
ministering the affairs of the city,"
said F. W. Van Sicklen, member
Of the Committee of Seven. "The
committees agreement with Mayor
5chmitz is short, barely embracing
ten lines of writing, but it contains
his sweeping promise to act abso-
iutely and completely as the commit
lee may direct. Mayor Schmitz has
not resigned. The only hold we have
On him is his promise. If he disre-
CARDS that we can do nothing, but I
believe he will do anything the COM
mittee asks. / believe he is not only
willing, but anxious to do what we
want"
When spoken to on the statement
by Mayor Schmitz, that Ruef had
*lied" in stating tina. he had paid
bribes to the Mayor, Ruef declined to
make any comment, beyond saying
that his statement was made under
oath and could be depended upon.
All the electricians in the employ
of the United Railroads struck in
sympathy with the striking car men.
There is direct authority for the
statement that the electricians en-
ployed by the San Francisco Gas and
Electric Company will not strike, as
to do so would be breaking of the
unions contract with the corporation.
Governor Gillette and his aides
held a meeting in the Ferry Building.
Adjutant-General Lauck said;
ne StFlke Oh the 0lecLrlc1anS un-
questionably complicated the situa-
tion. / am informed that the Elec-
trician's Union will not attempt to
interfere with the serving of power
to the United Railroads and that Mr..
Calhoun is able now to replace all of
the sixty electricians who quit"
All the brewery workers and brew
cry wagon drivers in San Francisco
went on strike. They demand an in
crease from $40 to $27.
San Francisco is at standstill as
far as rebuilding is concerned. Work
is progressing on some structures,
which actually have been begun, but
on others work is suspended Ma
terials are cheaper than they were
few months ago, but labor grows
dearer all the time.
There is little public confidence in
the truth of Abe Ruef's confession to
the Grand Jury. The public cannot
tell how far Ruef's confession is vol
untary or how much of it is infiu-
enced by the prosecution

RUFF PLEADS GUILTY.
San Francisco Boss Sheds Tears as
He Confesses Boodling.

San Francisco. The city was
startled by the news that Abraham
Ruef had pleaded guilty before Judge
Dunno to the charge of extortion
contained in the indictment recently
found against him by the Grand Jury
in connection with the French RESI-
taurant cases.
He made an impressive address to
the Judge, stating that he had COM
menced his career in politics with
high ideals for himself and for the
city, but that conditions had broken
him down, and he now desired only
an opportunity to make reparation
and restore his character before the
world.
When he concluded his address he
fell back into his chair almost faint
ing and the tears coursed down his
cheeks.
His health, he said, could not en-
dure the strain of the trial which he
was facing, and the torture was be-
yond the endurance of those who
were nearest and dearest to him.

STANDARD OIL METHODS.
Grew Up by Abuse of Transportation
Facilities, Commissioner Reports.

rdCiHtieS, commissioner reports.
Washington, D. C.-The report of
Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner
of Corporations, to President Roose-
velt on the position of the Standard
Oil Company in the petroleum indus
try was made public. ''It is appar-
ent," the commissioner says, that
the dominating position of the Stan
dard Oil Company in the oil industry
has largely been secured by the abuse
Of transportation facilities-first, by
hagrant determinations obtained
from railroads; second, by refusal
to operate it's pipe line system so as
to extend to independent interests
the benefits to which they were NOR
ally and legally entitled, while at the
same time the Standard has prevent
ed such independent interests from
constructing lines of their own" He
believes that, aside from railroad
discrimination and predatory meth
DDS of competition, the most impor-
tant element in the company's mon
opoly is its almost complete control
Of pipe lines. The keystone of it's
success, he says, has been the trans
portation factor.

DUTY OF THE ALASKAN
 CITIZENBY

people of Alaska Is pregnant with possibilities. It wall witness 8 greater battle than thus.iar has been fought ir the war for their civic rights. The main battlefield will be in the halls oi congress during the long session which win begin aezt December, but there will be a preliminary skirmish at the Republican primaries aud convention for the selection of a delegation to the national convention of that party.
 While the burden of this battle in behalf of the masses will fall heaviest on the shoulders of Hon. Thomas Gale, whom they have chosen by an over. whalmiug majority to command in the fray, there is 8 duty for the people 70 perform which is as sacred as Is their citizenship. They must place their shoulders to the wheel and give Mir. Gale the support he shall require iu the unequal contes:. with the pIunderbunt and I,s sycophantic miniOus In Alaska.
 The enemy will be lined up solidly' Among bis ranks will be the mem bers of the ,Government Trust" with their ul-go.:en pulls These are men with high political and social connections, who are absolutely unconsciable in the service of their masters, Eho maintatn a prestige at Washington In Alaskan affairs by deliberately misrePreseuting Alaszan coDdirions.

 Already this "Governnsnt Trust has laid wires for the purpose of capturing the Republican convention. Is desires to have this delegation in its possession to use iu 8 manner that best suits it's Tory purposes.
 This recital makes the duty Of the people plain. They must take charge of aHalrs thea selves. They must see that the Republican cOnven- tirn stands for seF.gOvernmenE. They must make it so plain that Mr. Gale ts their represeutauve and that the "goverUiDg trust" represents only the plupderbund that those higher up will understand 1t clearly.
 This Is an easy task for the citizens fl they will do it-AND THEY MUST DO IT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THEIR CITIZENSHIP.
 Now, gentlemen, these remarks are directed to you all. IT rs EVERY MANS DUTY TO DO HIS PART. LET EVERY CITIZEN OF EVERY COMMUNITY IN ALASKA MAKE THIS MATTER HIS PRIVATE BUSINESS.
