Jealousy" she said, brought about
by my uncle's signal lack of business

has heaped upon my father
my father holds no malice against
him. 1t may not be consistent with the
usual picture drawn of my father, but
he holds malice against no man.
my uncle's failure to profit by the
fortune of my father and his repeated
failures in business have been wormwood
and gall to him. The bitterness has
grown from year to year. 1t has taken
for it's objective point the brother who has
prospered.'
Mrs. Mccormick says it is true that
her grandfather is alive.
Between my father and grandfather
there always existed the respect and
love that should exist between father and
son. My grandfather watched with the
keenest interest the success of his son.

SHALL FOURTH STREET BE
CLEARED OF TROLLEY CARS?

City Attorney Hewitt reported yester-
day that the only way the city could stop
the Los Angeles-Pacific from using
Fourth street between Broadway and
Hill street for depot purposes was to get
writ of injunction. He asked if this
was desired by the council in line with
recent instructions to him to clear that
thoroughfare
Councilmen Yonkin and Healy both said
they preferred that every councilman be
present before such action was taken.
Councilman Dromgold said while he re-
GREETED the situation there, he thought
the Los Angeles-Pacific interests were
trying to build subways and taking other
steps to relieve the conditions. To inter-
fere now would be harassng a great en-
terprise.
Council Wren said that as he was the
Third ward representative he was bear
ing the brunt of blame. He suggested
that if the company ran half of it's cars
to the Buena Vista street freight sheds
it could turn them there without any loss
of time or inconvenience other than send
ing them a few blocks farther north from
Fourth street.
w. Crosby, the autoist who was ar
rested last week for blocking the street
in front of the Fourth street depot be-
cause a motorman cut off his approach
or retreat, made a statement saying he
thought Wren's idea was right-that in
junction proceedings should be brought.
He said he, for one, meant to have the
issue settled in court wether the public
or the Los Angeles-Pacific people owned
Fourth street.
The question was laid over till Monday.

Extra Track VIII Be Laid On Sunset
Boulevard Temporarily to Exc

Permission was granted yesterday by
the city council to the Los Angeles-Pacific
trolley officials to lay temporary spur
tracks on Sunset boulevard at the pro-
posed terminal site for the north subway,
to facilitate the hauling of excavated ma
terials, as soon as digging commences.
The companys representatives explained
that the request had been laid before the
board of public works, and not until yes
terday was it learned that the council
should have been petitloned direct.
Because of this special session OF the
council was held last night to give the
city attorney time to prepare the ordin-
ance and to insure a quorum, as Council
man Healy expected to go away on his
vacation last night, but remained for the
meeting.
The city attorney told the councilmen
yesterday that before presenting the Or
dinance for special permit he wanted to
know more about whether the tracks
would be embedded or on grade, the time
limit and terms
No representatives of the Second ward
or Northwestern Improvement associa-
ton were on hand, but Councilman Clam
pitt said that his ward was anxious to
do everything in its power to help along
the northern subway work regardless or

JAPANESE COULD WHIP

AnthropoIogist of University of Chi

Lose in Fight with
OrientaIs

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2-Prof. Frederick
Starr anthropologist of the University
of Chicago. believes Japan could whip
the United States in war. He says it is
a mistake to send the great American
fleet into the Pacific, as the ships are
quite likely to show how inefficient the
navy is.
His views were presented in an address
on Japan" yesterday in All Souls
church. Among the pointed statements
he made were these
Japan, from our standard, has no SUI
perior as a world power today0
II am not afraid of a yellow peril.
Think of what the white peril has been.
Where are the red men and the black
men?
I'VE are inclined to think the Russian
army was rotten. But Russia was the
only power which stood a chance with
Japan.
DO you think our army of 10000 de-
serters a year, whose men complain of
Goldfish for breakfast, detest the marches
from day to day, who clamor about the
small pay they receive, could stand up
against the Japanese.
IT do not know If we will have a war
with Japan.
II hope not If we do, it will be our own
fault. Japan will not start it."

SUPREME COURT HAS
MAYORALTY TANGLE
TAYLoR'S SECRETARY SUES FOR
HIS SALARY
Attorney for Schmitz' Appointee
Claims the Conviction Is Not
ompIete-AudItor's Counsel
Says Boyle Not Discharged
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-Chief JUS
tice Beatty and five of the associate JUS
tices of the supreme court sat this morn
ing to hear the argument in the applica-
tion of H. ]. McKannay, secretary to Ed
ward R. Taylor, for writ of mandamus
requiring Auditor Horton to certify his
salary claim for the month of July.
The real issue involved is the determina-
ton whether Schmitz or Taylor is legally
the mayor of San Francisco. McKannay
Boxton upon the election of the latter by
the board of supervisors, under the DOM
ination of the bribery graft prosecution,
to fill the vacancy in the office of mayor
declared to exist by virtue of the convic-
charge of extortion.
w. P. Kollmyer, Mayor Taylors former
law partner, appeared for McKannay.
Mayor Schmitz, who resists the mandam-
us application, was represented by
Charles H. Fairall.
Mr.. Kollmyer argued chiefly under that
section of the charter which provides that
the office of mayor becomes vacant upon
conviction of the incumbent of a felony.
Argues for Boyle
Mr.. Fairall, responding for j. ]. Boyle.
Mayor Schmitz' secretary, argued that no
vacancy in the mayoralty was legally Gre
ated, for the reason that in the use of the
word convicted" the charter contem-
plates final judgment on appeal; that,
pending appeal, the Judgment in the lower
court cannot be made the basis of a
cause of action or the foundation of a
right, and cannot be introduced in evil
dence for any purpose
General w. H. H. Hart, arguing in be-
half of Auditor Horton, supported Judge
Fairall's contention and added this fur
ther point: That neither Mayor Boxton
nor subsequently Mayor Taylor removed
or went through the form of removing
Secretary Boyle; that the offices of
mayor and of secretary are themselves
separate and distinct, and that the affec-
tion of the mayoralty itself cannot and
does not resultantly go to the secretary
ship; that Boyle never having been re-
and claiming to be still fulfilling
the duties of secretary to Schmitz as may
or, the appointment of McKannay as sec
retary by Boxton and Taylor is void.
During the argument Justice Henshaw
arrived at the court room and took his
seat
At noon the court took the mandamus
application under advsement.
