The contractor estimates that Chi

BY PROSECUTORS
FRISCO'S NOVEL METHOD OF Sc
CURING A NEW MAYOR-PHE-
Ian MAY BE IT.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2O.--An inn
portant conference was held yesterday
afternoon by the prosecution, at which
were present Rudolph Spreckels, Fran
els j. Heney, District Attorney Lang
don and others associated with them.
AS to Gallagher's successor as acting
mayor the members of the prosecution
were communicative yesterday. 1t
was announced that no choice had
been made and that none would be
made for some days In the meantime
the list of availables has grown in
size Besides the availables a num-
Der of applicants have appeared. 1t is
recognized that an unprecedented OPP
portunity is at hand for a strong man,
and the prosecution desires to eXer-
else the utmost care in making a Sc
lection.
The report from Washington that
James D. Phelan had left for San
Francisco sooner than expected gave
rise to the impression that he was slat-
ed to retake the chair he had yielded
to Schmitz. 1t is known that the name
of Phelan has been considered by the
graft prosecutors and has been strong
ly supported in some quarters, but no
intimation as to their conclusions has
been given out by the men with the
big stick
The identity of the new mayor has
for the moment overshadowed in point
of interest all other matters connected
with the antigraft campaign. The sub
ject was discussed generally about
| town yesterday and the list of sug-
gestion ran the entire gamut of the
political directory. 1t was the senti-
ment of the street Phelan would be
! chosen
The name of Walter Macarthur was
brought into the discussion of the sit
uation yesterday and it was argued in
his behalf that he had been an op-
ponent of the Schmitz administration
A statement which appeared to
emanate from an authoritative source
was to the effect that neither J. J..
Dryer nor Frederick G. Sanborn. who
are in way connected with the prose-
cution, the former as attorney and the
latter as grand juror was active in
the candidacy for the mayoralty. Their
names have been put forward by their
friends and have been given consider
| alton by the men at the head of af-
| fairs

REQUIRED CAUTION.

A newly appointed assistant secre
tary in one of the Federal depart
ments at Washington was worried Ov
err the immense labor of signing his
name to letters and documents h
could examine in the most superb
cial way. At first he tried to read
everything, but soon found that i'm
possible, and learned to rely on his
subordinates, who prepared the rout
inc matters for him, they calling his
attention only to such papers as the
knew he wished to examine before
signing.
One busy day a clerk laid a paper
on his desk which he signed without
looking at it,
That's a voucher" warned the
man. Don't you want to examine
it?"
Heavens" shouted the assistant
secretary Give it back to me!
