SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-To-
registered voters of San Francis
CO will go to the polls and settle
with their ballot the political fu-
ture of their city for the next two
years. The three candidates, Tay-
lor, Ryan and Mccarthy, represent
three widely divergent parties,
each of whom has ideals and pur-
poses widely separated from each
other. All maintain that the flu
ture welfare of San Francisco rests
in the election of their candidates.
Two of the candidates for mayor,
Edward R. Taylor and Daniel a,
Ryan. are pledged to the contin-
uance of graft prosecution, and
both have the name of William H.
Langdon on their ticket for dis
trict attorney. P. H. Mccarthy is
running on the remnant of the old
union labor party machine former
ly dominated by Ruef and e. E.
Schmitz, and in which Schmitz is
still large factor. The machine

OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE

An overdose of morphine came
near resulting in the death of Mrs.
Nora Soule, of Milan, at the Great
Northern depot yesterda yafter-
noon. She was seen to drink from
a bottle labeled perfume" Imme-
diately afterward she lost con-
seriousness. The police and cor
oner were notified, Efforts to re-
vive Mrs. Soule were unavailing
and she was taken to Sacred Heart
hospital in the patrol.
Physicians were puzzled to ac-
count for her condition, as judging
by the label on the bottle it was
perfume she drank. Investigation
proved it was morphine. This morn
ing she was so far recovered as to
be sent home with her husband.
When taken to the hospital there
was nothing about her effects
which would denote her identity
Later Mr.. Soule called at police
headquarters and asked that a
search for his wife, who disap-
peared, be instituted He was told
to look for her at Sacred Heart.
Mrs. Soule is said to be addicted
to the use Of the drug and took an
overdose.

KILLS SEVEN

LYLE, Wash, Nov. 1.-Two
white men and five Hindus were
killed and five other Hindus Sc
riously wounded in an explosion
on construction work of the Port
land & Seattle railway Seventy
five kegs of black powder exploded
and the bodies of the men were
horribly mangled.
1t is thought that the blast was
missed last season, as the men
must have been working directly
over 1t when it went off. The ac-
cident was not discovered until
late Friday and full mail advices
are just being made public. The
coroner's jury found the explosion
due to carelessness of the work
men. The Hindus were buried &C.
cording to the Buddistic rites, the
bodies being cremated and the
ashes thrown into the Columbia.

as they go about the house.
The missing jewelry Is a $3.50
solitaire with a Tiffany setting;
several other small solitaires; one
pair of earrings, and ring with a
circle of 10 small diamonds sur
rounding ovalettes and a ruby.
The Grahams highly priced the
jewelry as it was all presented to
them and one was Mrs. Graham's
engagement ring.
The police today are bafhed. For
several nights clever burglar has
operated and it Is believed the
same man has done all the work,
possibly with the assistance of a
pal, who stands guard and signals
the approach of anyone.
A good description of one bur
glar, believed to be the same one
who did the Graham job, is in the
possession of Chief Rice. This
man was almost captured Friday
night at Ortho Dorman's residence,
1908 Eighth av. He was proving
about the upper rooms when Mr..
Dorman pursued him with a shot
gun. The burglar slid down one OF
the porch posts and made his es-
cape. Mr.. Graham will offer re-
ward of $500.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION

TACOMA, Nov. 4.-"Captains of
vessels recently arriving at Vera
Cruz from Havana and Progreso
report a strange phenomenon OBJ
served on the coast of Yucatan,
near Progreso," writes the Ameri-
can consul from Vera Cruz. About
eight miles off shore the vessels
entered streak OF yellowish col
ored water, the limits of which
were clearly defined by the con-
trast with the naturar color of the
sea. This streak extended as far
as the eye could reach to the east
and west. and immense quantities
of dead fish were floating on its
surface, emitting an unbearable
stencil of decomposed matter and
of sulphur.
THE beach at the port of Pro-
greso was strewn with millions of
dead fish thrown up by the sea.
The local authorities put the pris-
oners and many others Impress
ed into service, to bury this mass
OF putrefactlon as quickly as pos
sible. The anchorage at Progreso
has apparently undergone a change
as there are now nearly five
fathoms of water where formerly
the depth was six fathoms. Doubt
less a volcanic eruption in that vi
entity Is responsible for this change
of the bottom, and vessels should
take careful soundings when APP
preaching their usual anchorage off
Progreso and other nearby pointsfi'

ASK FOR POSTAL
SAVINGS BANK

sent to the Central Labor union to-
night is as follows:
Believing the present time OPP
perfume for the agitation OF the es-
Enlistment Of postal savings banks
by the United States government,
We herewith petition you to intro
duce into the house of congress a
bill looking to the establishment by
our national government of such
banks along lines adopted by conti-
mental countries.
I'VE believe it to be the duty OF
our national government to provide
repositories that are absolutely
safe for the great working and mid
die classes.
while we are not conversane
with finances we believe that were
the people provided with postal
savings banks the present financial
situation could not exist.
I'VE have perfect confidence in
the financial responsibility Of our
country and believe that with the
establishment of postal banks
millions now being withdrawn from
circulation would be available for
carrying on the business Of the
country.
The people generally have lost
confidence in the men who have
been recognized as our greatest fl
nanciers and it is unlikely will
again trust their savings into their
care in the knowledge that such
money will be turned to specula-
two nurpOSocp

MANY MEN WILL BE OUT

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 4.--Because the
railroads of the country have
stopped ordering cars, owing to the
financial stringency, it is probable
that several. If not al. of the IA
plants of the American Car and
Foundry Co. will be shut down.
About 5000 men are employed in
these plants, some of which are To-
Gated in st. Louis in the suburbs
and in adjacent states.
T herailroad systems of the
country have ordered no cars built
1t Is stated, for the past 30 days.
They will order none until they are

E. A. Cooney said today that he
would this evening introduce into

gresham Wesley l.. Jones, asking
him to introduce into congress a
bill having for it's object the es-
Establishment by the United States
government of postal savings banks
along the lines as such banks are
now operated in othe countries.
Mr.. Cooney said that he was of
the opinion that had we govern
ment savings banks in this country
today there would be no disturb
ance Of financial conditions as now
exist.
Every dollar we possess should
be kept in circulation" said Mr..
Cooney, Sin order that the bust
ness of the country can be car
ried on, and | believe that the gov.
eminent could keep the savings of
the people in circulation under
proper safeguards while affording
the great working and middle class
safe repositories for their savings
which would pay as high rate of
interest as is now paid by private
savings banks"
Other union men who were seen

to telephone for the police.

The banking situation today is
the same. No light has been
thrown upon the prospects of a re-
sumption of payment. Confidence
is restored if 1t were ever really in
question. Considerable talk is
heard about runs" as soon as
banks again begin paying in cash,
but the 30-day rule will probably
be put into effect. The action would
not signify any financial embarrass-
ment locally, but would be purely
a precautionary measure in case
some bank should be subjected to
a run by an excited public.
Eastern banks are putting the
30-day clause into effect.
Local business men appear to
be cheerful and expect a steady inn
provement. The situation was
without notable development today
and the general public seems to
have well gotten over it's scare.
1t is believed that great assist
ance in relieving the financial
stringency will result from the
large engagements of gold for Inn
port. The United States has large
credit abroad. largely due to the
revival of the demand for copper
aboard and the movement Of
American crops.
AS the surest indication of the
confidence of business people in the
local bankers ii is stateu that there
has been no reduction in the price
of commodities which was expect
ed to follow the tightening of the
money market.
People are taking readily to the
checking system and there seemed
but little embarrassment Saturday
because checks instead of cash
were used as the medium Of ex-
change.
