Essen, RUSSIA son has been born
to Frau Bertha Krupp Won Bohlen und
Halbach, Oldest daughter of the late
gunmaker. The infant is heir to the
enormous fortune of the Krupp fam

Spain and a large fleet of vessels
Herr Krupp, her father, disappointed
because he had no son to succeed him,
trained his older daughter to succeed
him in the management of his i'm

to do, because the young woman ap-
parently inherited her fathers bust
ness and executive ability.

CLUB MEN PROTEST.
Object to w. d. Haywood, of the w.
T.. NJ, as Visitor.

Chicago-Because William D. Hay
wood the ecretary-treasurer of the
Western Federation of Miners, recent
ly acquitted of the charge of murder,
visited the Chicago Press club, an
emphatic protest to the board of di-
rectors was prepared at once and cir
culated for signatures. A vote of
censure is asked for the members who
brought Haywood into the club.
The protest follows:
We, the undersigned respectfully
protest to the board of directors of the
Chicago Press club against the con-
tamination Of the club houses pre-
cincts by the presence of one w. d.
Haywood, whom we believe to have
been the instigator of many atrocious
murders. and who at least certainly is
an "undesira BILE citizen The fact of
the acquittal of Haywood does not
vindicate him in public opinion nor
render him a fit person to be allowed
inside our club house. We would ask
that a vote of censure be passed
against the men who were RESPONSE
BILE for bringing him into the club. In
making this request we would dis
claim any intention of criticising a
member for political opinions or So
cialiStic views.

VICTORY FOR REFORM.
San Francisco Republicans Vote Sup
port of Bribery Investigation.

ASSOCIATED Press-Leased Wire1
San Francisco, Aug. 15.-The primary
election in this city resulted in sweep
ing victory for the Republican League
, or Ryan ticket which stood for earnest
, support of the bribery graft prosecution
and the present mayor and board of
supervisors. The opposing faction led
by Postmaster Ffske, made a sorry
showing, electing not more than 10 del
egates to the party convention, which
will consist of 149 members. The re-
suit was notable triumph for the re-
form element.
The regular Democratic or McNabe
ticket was victorious and will control
the nominating convention by a large
majority
The representatives of the better ele-
ment of the Union Labor party cast a
majority of their votes in favor of Nc
Carthy and the NSchmitz organization.
The element opposed to the bribery
graft prosecution will control the labor
convention, but whether or not ex-
Mayor Schmitz's friends will go so far
as to renominate him is problematical.
The victory of the Ryan Republicans
means but one thing-political support
of the bribery graft prosecution and in
all likelihood the nomination of Dis
trict Attorney Langdon who 1t is pri-
vately understood will be backed by
McNabe also.

commissioners wanted to find out just
what the various projects have amount

very little has been done.
1t may be that a few additional re-
