trance long enough to announce that.
the businessmen of San Francisco were
focking to the standard of Ryan. Lau-
meister's position as president OF the
merchants exchange was duly ex-
plotted to add weight to the message
from far country which, backed sole :
ly by Laumeisters name, would not
command space in the political columns
of McCarthy's official pamphlet. Lau-
meisters espousal of the cause of the
Hearst candidate was so turned as to
convey the impression that Laumeister
spoke in his official capacity and that
he expressed the sentiments of a con-
siderable number of the members of
the exchange over which he presides
The assumption that Laumeister
spoke for any one other than himself
is vigorously resented by the mem
bers of the exchange. That any official
action will he taken touching Laumeis-
ter's unauthorizsd delivery Of the bust
nessmen on the +slide to Ryan is i'm
probable. The publication of the Lau-
on the exchange yesterday and a can
vass Of the grain brokers, who were
in session. failed to disclose a single
man for Ryan or Mccarthy. Prominent
members of the exchange were nnani-
nous in declaring that the 500 members
of the exchange were almost a unit for
Mayor Taylor. Edward B. Cutter of the
grain brokers said last night:
"Laumeister was. of course, speaking
for himself and without any reference
to the membership of the exchange.
among which he knows there is vir-
tualiy no Ryan sentiment. I have made
a close canvass of the members of the
exchange. and Laumeister is the only

1T is extremely conservative TO say
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1907-10-30

that at least 40 OF the 500 members
are enthusiastically for Mayor. Taylor.
We are supporting Taylor not as per-
sonality nor as partisan. but because
he stands for good government and
commercial stability You may be as
sured that IL there are businessmen
flocking to Ryan they are not mem
want governmental and commercial
stability. We want the credit of San
Francisco restored and we know that
through the election of Mayor Taylor
and only through the election of Tay-
lor will these all to be desired condi-
tions be secured
The Ryanites believe straws show the
way the wind blows, unless they are
straw votes giving Mayor Taylor ma,
jorities over both Ryan and McCarthys
In the accession of Laumeister the
boomers of the Hearst candidate recog-
nized a beautifully long, bright straw.
Thinking voters quite as readily recog-
nized it as bale of the kind of hay
that shows what SwInd is blowing to
Ryan. Laumeister has been long the
political dead one he is now. BY the
grace of William T. Herrin he was in
politics once upon time and improved
his brief opportunity TO distinguish
himself before the people of san Fran
cisco extinguished him. With other
Herrin skeletons he has been dug up to
join the Hearst Dargie- -Calhoun-Mc
Carthy combination behind the Hearst
candidate.
Laumeister was a railroad commits
sioner in the unforgotten past. and 1t
was as railroad commissioner that he
distinguished himself. In the railroad
rate controversy between the Southern
Pacific and the people of California.

The Way Hunters Capture the Orsng
Outang Alive.


Trapping the smaller members Of the
monkey family is a comparatively easy
matter, but the hunter who wishes to
secure live specimens Of the orang
outang cannot have recourse to the
usual methods and has to employ q
laborious process. The process is based
upon the fact that the orangs have a
liking for certain trees and frequent
these TO the exclusion of other nearby
growths. They seem to regard them
as sanctuary and fee TO them In time
Of danger. Ascertaining tree partic-
ularly favored, the hunter first drives
his quarry to its branches; then while
his beaters keep up din for the pur-
pose of preventing an attempt at es-
cape the natives are set to work TO
chop at the trees within a radius Of
fifty feet all about the simian fortress.
No trunk is cut completely through,
but is left with just enough fiber TO
hold the tree in position. This work is
quickly accomplished with the large
corps Of servants, and at a signal one
OF the trees is toppled over. The chop
ping has been so done that the falling
tree carries with it its neighbor, and in
the twnkllng of an eye the trees with
in radius, OF fifty feet from the mark
ed tree lie upon the ground leaving
the orang outangs with no opportunity
for getting away through their leafy
the process simply consists Of chopping
down the tree of refuge and throwing
nets over the escaping orangs, in which
they soon become entangled in their
efforts 10 throw Off the incumbrance.
