CHIEF B1GGY

| ~ o FAR as the warrant of public
IN confidence can aid him, w. j.
~ Buggy, the newly appointed chief
of police in San Francisco, will have
an open read to success. He has known
the detail work of the office and is in
sympathy with the mayor and super
visors, and his reputation warrants the
expectation of good work and large
results.
a large part of the personnel of the
force-officers as we'll as men-if he
would be free to act, and this will prove
his first stumbling block. The Oman
element and all it stands for perme-
ates the department, and unless sum-
marily dealt with can block his best
attempts.
One specially good result of Biggy's
appointment will be the fact that he
will be in the saddle for the coming
election, and will have time to Gull out
such as could hamper his efforts.
San Francisco union labor element,
coerced by the defeated Southern Pa
cific contingent-and staked by it. also
may form a coalition with indicted
and sentenced graft interests, and to
save the men included in the latter, as
much as to win back political power,
form a combine that could defeat any
ticket put up.
There can be no question now that
the appointment by Mayor Taylor of
Casey to office is looked upon as sop
to unionism, whether he so meant 1t
or not, and the effect has been to unity
and solidify that element and give it a
force no other act of the reigning gov
eminent could do.
The course of the men in power was
to steer straight away from unionism
and all it represents in San Francisco
in the present conditions, and to boldly
place the onus of duty upon the good
men of all parties, trusting the funda
mental sense of right which is always
in free people. Now that "hands
across have been given to the oppos-
ing faction, the task of splitting up the
work of the prosecution forces will be
easy, and the gravest consequences are
very likely to ensue. The individual,
Casey, is not considered here, only that
for which he stands, and any step that
tends to weaken the graft prosecution
is one to be avoided.
Chief Buggy will now be more in the
public eye than ever, and it is largely
in his hands to bring something like
order and real peace out Of existing
chaos and turbulence.

STRICKEN SAN FRANCISCO

| nOLITICS, which can truthfully bt
styled bloody and brutal, is a.
Il work in San Francisco, and nc
man can see the end; but all men feal
1t. The straight view of the case shows
the United Railroads company running
it's cars by the help of non-union men
or strike breakers, and the striking
carmen, backed by a willing police
force, making riot upon them when and
where they choose; and city govern
ment, tied UP by political considera-
tons, utterly unable to handle the
riots.
With new police commission and a
new chief Of police 1t seemed possible
to stamp out disorder, but the Dinap
element and spirit permeate the force,
and the Vaccinations of the old Ruef-
Schmitz gang hold sway over a large
part of it.
The approaching election may make
it possible, through a coalition of
strikers, union labor men and floaters
generally to defeat any ticket put up
by the graft prosecution forces, and so
gain ascendency again in municipal
affairs, and Mayor Taylor and his adj
visers dare not coerce these elements,
in the hope of tying them to the prose-
cution forces in the coming struggle.
To declare open and positive war on
them would be to solidify and crys-
tallize them into dangerous force, and
the prize is too valuable to lose. A
hating policy is thus pursued, and the
strikers, seeing the advantage, \ war
upon the railroad company, knowing
Dinan's friends on the force will wink
at them, and the mayor and his adj
visers, fearing to lose them at the polls,
hesitate to take the heroic measures
necessary to hold them in check.
The oldest and ablest political game
ster in the city cannot forecast success
in the coming election, pending the
settlement of the Garments strike, and
with the bare possibility of supreme
court decision against the validity of
the graft indictments and the conse-
quent undoing of all that has been ac-
complished there are present such pos
sible results as make thinking men
shudder.
The Ruef-Schmitz-D CRATER ele-
ment is fighting for life and to get out
of prison, and it's great following is
fighting to beat the railroads; both con-
trolled by the most mercenary motives
and both wholly withonut spark of
conscience among them. They and
their henchmen in every walk of official
and private life will stoop to any plot
promising success, and are, combined,
numerous enough to sway the election.
The prosecution element is politically
divided on strict party lines, and the
fusion cry is empty of meaning. For
these reasons and the awful scenes of
bloodshed they have made possible it
can be truthfully said that San Fran
cisco is very material hell at present.
The one hope-fusion-that made it
possible to support the law-enforcing
element has gone glimmering, and the
city is given over to the widest human
passions. A hopeful forecast under
these conditions is impossible

the appropriation of $3.50 granted him
by the city council to defray his ex-

not go far toward keeping the depart

two engine companies to be dlsbanded

HAMMERSTEIN PLANS
GREAT OPERA CIRCUIT

| NEW YORK, Sept. 13-Oscar Hammer
stein was busy today. Letters came pour
ing in on him from many cities, cable
grams arrived in great numbers from
Europe and kilograms fluttered into his
office from towns in this country Ham
merstein answered these with remarkable
dispatch.
1t was all work in connection with his
gigantic plan of presenting opera in large
cities outside of New York. He an
nounces that he will build opera houses
in Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Wash
Iington, st. Louis and Cincinnati. His idea
is to make each opera house in each city
an Independent, or rather local organi-
cation, as far as the orchestra, chorus,
ballet and such is concerned.
From this can be seen gust what great
thing for music in this country his plan
will be. He will be able to- guarantee
foreign artists number of engagements
that have hitherto been unknown % them.
He can swing these singers, that is the
high price strs, around from one city to
another. When he has built all the opera
houses he has planned, Hammersten says
that he can engage singer for twenty
weeks.
The high salaries paid to grand opera
singers in this country will attract the
best in Europe when there is a guarantee
of sixty engagements held out to them.
In this regard Hammerstein laughingly
remarked today: First thing you know,
Ill have the managers of the royal opera
houses of Europe coming over here to
book singers"
One thing that Ilammerstein is bank
ing a great deal on is the opportunity he
will be able to give to American talent
iii the various cities. All of Hammer
STEMS agents in Europe have been noti-
fed to begin action in reference to the
engagement of artists, and Hammerstein
will make the final selections himself
when he visits the other side in the
spring. Philadelphia will see the first
production of "Aphrodite," and Miss
Mary Garden will appear in the principal
role. Hammerstein has acquired the sole
right to produce this comedy here.

LAND WEALTH OF NEW YORK.
Greater In Aggregate Than That Q
Many Nation.

Few people realize the tremendous
land wealth OF New York city to-day.
says a writer in Moody's Magazine
The total land valuations Of the city
by Its recent census reached the
enormous figure OF $500, 100000; this
is an Increase of 3400, 100000 in 1907
over 1906, and 1906, in turn, showed
an Increase of $3.50, 200. 900 over 1905.
Within decade the increase has
been considerably over 100 per cent.
New York real estate is to-day val
ued at more than one-twentieth OF the
entire wealth OF the United States. 1t
is greater than the entire wealth OF
many states and even OF many for
eign countries. 1t is 25 per cent. more
than the entire wealth OF Holland,
Spain, Sweden and Norway; so per
cent. more than Switzerland, Den
mark or Portugal; 1t Is one-third that
of Italy, onefourth that OF Austria
