.FRISCO'S NEW MAYOR
 SUPERVISOR BOxTON
The Unexpected Election of Success. sor to Acting Mayor Gallagher.

San Francisco. July 9.-A new angle was given to the municipal situation late this afternoon when the board of supervisors met and by vote of 10 to elected Charles A. BoXton. one of their number. acting mayor to succeed Gallagher. who since the conviction of Schmitz has been acting as mayor. The two votes opposing Boxton. were those of supervisor O'Neil and Tveit- moe, who were appointed to the board to fill vacancies by SchmitZ. The action of the supervisors came as a surprise as it has been intimated that it was the aim of the graft prosecution to retain Gallagher as acting mayor until the complete abdication of Schmitz could be brought about.
 Boxton is the principal witness in the trial of Louis Glass. vice president of the Pacific States Telephone com pany on the charge of bribery which will be begun tomorrow.
 With a view of curing the ano- malous situation in the municipal gov ernment resulting from the graft prosecution, it was decided tonight by District Attorney Langdon and his as- sociates to invite the commercial and labor bodies of the city to send dele gates to a convention which will be called within a few days for the pur- pose of choosing a mayor who will fill out the unexpired term of Schmitz. Supervisor Boxton will hold office un- til a mayor is chosen.

President Mover May Be Reached In the
 Course of Toddy's Testimony
Another Effort Was Made Yesterday to Prove PnkertOn Conspiracy for the CndOing of the Vest Federation Officials.

witnesses named. yesterday was given over to reading the rest of the San Francisco dispositions.
 The men who built the Linforth flats. the plumbers who put in the lighting system, the firemen who came after the explosion, and the contract ors and their men who made repairs all deposed to great length and detail. The weight of their tales seemed to favor a gas explosion, but none of the testimony was conclusive and the whole question involved will be fought before and decided by the jury. The last of deponents knew Harry Orchard and from him heard the story of the Hercules mine with the usual threat that he was going to fix Steunenberg for driving him out of the country.
 Charles H. Mover, president of the Western Federation of Miners will be brought from the county jail tomor- row to give testimony in behalf of his will be called shortly after 10 o'clock and it will take about all the rest of the day for both sides to complete the examination of him. There is d chance that he may finish in time to permit the calling of Haywood. but the chances are that the defense will shape its arrangements to call him on Thurs day morning-rather than at the close of a possibly trying day.

A POSSIBLY WARM DAY
 IN N. f. 4. CONVENTION
That is Today viIl be if the Asitstor Miss Haley Should Appear.

Los Angeles. July 9.VThe members of the National Educational Associa- tion spent the day in listening to scores of papers. Little of the general work in the conference was accom- pIished. A new president of the board of directors will be elected tomorrow. a new constitution and bylaws will be adopted or rejected, and a place for the next convention will be selected. The question whether there will be op- position to the selected program is still in doubt tonight.
 Interest is keen tonight as to wheth- CT Miss Margaret Haley of Chicago. who is the head of the opposition, and who it seems, cannot be located eith- CT in Chicago or Los Angeles, will ap- pear at the meeting tomorrow with her followers for a fight to a finish. Neith- CT Miss Haley or her Chicago follow CTS have yet appeared. Word was re- ceived that she had left Chicago but her destination was unknown.
 If she comes. she will oppose the election of Cooley for president. and attempt to defeat the adoption of the new constitution and bylaws and seek to force the adoption of her union labor ideas. It is not thought that she can muster enough votes to cause trouble.

4 PUBLIC REPORT
On the Late s. p. Wreck at Sentinel

San Francisco. July 9.-Vice Presi- dent and General Manager Calvin or the Southern Pacific made public final report of the accident occurring at Sentinel, Arizona, at S:45 p. m-. on July 1.
 Freight extra 272S ran into the rear end of freight eura 27s5 while taking siding in order to permit the passage of eastbound passenger train No. 1. It was shown that the responsibility for the accident is divided between the rear brakeman of the freight train which was on the siding and the en- gineer of freight extra 272s. There was a clear view of the rear lights of 27s5 for a distance three and a half miles and the engineer of 212S stated that he knew the precedingf train was not in the clear and he had applied air to reduce his speed. but owing to the flagman of the preceding train not dropping off at sufficient distance back of where his train had to take siding. train No. 272s was not under control soon enough to prevent a col lision.
 "The caboose of extra 27S5 was de- stroyed and four or five oil cars were damaged. resulting in a loss of several thousands dollars. Action will imme- diately be taken with the parties found to be at fault"

MIlltRS OF KANSAS
 SECURE A VICTORY
Incidentally Phoenix and Other Inter- mediate Points Get an Advantage in Interstate Commerce Decision.

Washington. July 9.-The interstate commerce commission today in an opinion by Commissioner Prouty an- nounced a decision in the case of the Howard Mills company against the Missouri Pacific and other carriers. The complainant alleged that the de- fendant carriers unduly discriminated against Kansas millers in flavor of California millers by exacting rates for the transportation for flour which were ten cents greater per 100 to Phoenix. Ariz.. than the rates for transportation from Wichita and other points in Kansas to points in Califor- mia known as Pacific coast termin- als." and also by exacting rates for the transportation of flour which were 35 cents per hundred greater than rates contemporaneously exacted by them for the transportation of wheat from shipping points to Phoenix. Ariz. The commission decided that the flour rates between the destination and shipping points should not exceed the wheat rates between such points by more than seven cents a hundred The commission says that there is no inflexible requirement. that rates upon grain and the products of grain should be under all circumstances the same but rather that the carriers may. in a just regard for their own inter ests or to meet special conditions vary those rates within narrow limits. When. however, a relation has been established, business developed and money expended upon the strength of 1t then the carrier cannot in the ab- sence of some sufficient reason change that relation nor would the commis-
 sion direct any such change.

JAPANESE ALIENS NO BITTER THAN OTHERS
So Say the San Francisco Police Com rissioners in the Matter of Em- pIoyment Office Licences.

San Francisco. July 10.-An exhaus- tive report of all the facts in connec- ton with the recent refusal of the po- lice commissioners to grant employ ment office licences to Japanese or other aliens was mailed to Attorney General Bonaparte by United States District Attorney Devlin today. There is every indication that the Japanese will appeal to the courts to have 1t determined whether their treaty rights have been infringed upon by the ac- tion with commissioners in denying intelligence offices licenses.
 There is no ordinance on the books prohibiting the issuance of licenses to aliens. but the commissioners contend that such, business comes within their powers and that the action does not discriminate against the Japanese nor Infringe upon their treaty rights, they being treated the same as other aliens.

Boise, Idaho. July 9.-The defense in inc Steunenberg murder case today charged that Detective James McPart- land was guilty of an attempt to man. ufacture testimony against Haywood but was unsuccessful in getting the basis and details of the charge before the court and jury.
 Ava A. Swain, newspaper corres- pendent who represents the Pueblo Chieftain at Denver, was called to the stand and questioned as to a conversa- tion he had with Detective McPart- land in Denver, last fall Senator Borah for the state objected to the conversation on the ground that no foundation had been laid for it. Clar- ence Darrow, who was examining swain, explained that the testimony was offered for the purpose of showing that there existed a conspiracy be- tween the mine owners and Pinker- tons to secure the conviction and exc cution of the prisoner.
 Mcfarland approached this wit ness in an attempt to manufacture testimony" he declared, and I be- lieve we have a right to show it."

 The defense took an exception and said that it would later make another attempt to secure the admission of Swain's testimony. council for the de- fense evidently counting on reaching the matter through Mcfarland him. self. but it is quite probable that the state will not call Mcfarland as a witness.
 It is claimed by the defense that Mcfarland told Swain that he had a letter from Harry Orchard saving that when Haywood paid him for the Vim dicator job he took him to one of the Denver banks to draw the money and that when they came out of the bank Swain was standing at the door and saw them. Darrow said Swain told Mcfarland that he could not remem- Der the Incident, whereupon Ms Part land Impressed him with the import- ance of it's as evidence and significant ly urged him to recall it and become a witness in the case
 Detective Mcfarland denies that he ever suggested anything improper to Swain. He says he got the letter as described by Orchard who wrote that Swain was at the door of the bank on the day in question there being a run on the bank and that he believed Swain might remember having seen them. He says that when he went to see Swain the latter said that he would not tell whether he remembered the incident or not and asked for another interview. Mcfarland declares that he then dropped the matter and did not again see Swain.
 Allen Gill, former master mechanic of the Tiger and Poorman mine and later city engineer of Spokane and his wife, Mrs. Gill, were also witnesses for the defense today. They jointly related that Harry Orchard attempted to sell them his interest in the Her cules mine in February and March, 1899. which was just prior to his de- parture from the Occur d'Alenes and Mir. Gill, who saw Orchard in Spokane month before he killed Steunenberg. testified that Orchard said that it was because of Steunenberg that he lost his interest in the Hercules mine Other than for the interest and relief afforded by the introduction of three

 In this case the Mexican and local American authorities probably had in mind the case of the revolutionist VII lareal at Fl Paso. Proceedings were regularly had and after a long delay he was ordered extradited. At the last moment another obstacle was thrown in the way of justice and this country is still cumbered with him while the justice of Mexico has been defeated.
 If it should turn out. as a result of all this agitation. said MT. McKeene. that this summary plan to rid Doug las of an undesirable person and a criminal badly wanted in Mexico should be defeated the territory along the border would be the chief sufferer. The arrangement between the local American and Mexican officials would be broken off by Col Kosterlitzky and each side of the line would become at once an asylum of refuge for criminals of the other side.

Photographers Are to Be Called and in Large East ern Centers.

San Francisco. July 9.-The indica- tions tonight are that the telegraphers strike will spread and that next walk out of operators will occur at some large eastern center.

 The committee was met by Chief Operator H. J. Jeffs, who read a note conveying what Miller had to say to the committee, which was as follows

Miller declines to meet the con- mittee as such. but is willing to ex- tend a courteous hearing to each op- orator now out on strike and will con- slider favorably the reinstatement of any and all who come to him giving assurance of their personal desire to be reinstated in their positions. But he reserves the right to refuse to re- ceive or reinstate anyone whQ is un- desirable. and that the matter mus, be absolutely left to his judgment as assistant superintendent.
 After the report the result of the meeting was made to President Small he sent a telegram to President Roose- welt claiming that every honorable means had been exhausted to secure an adjustment and that he had nc hope of settlement without an ex- tension of the strike and that in ans- wer to the demands of the telegraph CTS throughout the country the strike will be made general. and that he would leave for Chicago. tomorrow.

COPPER WENT DOWN
 IN BOTH MARKETS
Its Decline Was One of the Unfavor- able Influences on the Stock Ex- channe.

New York. July 9.-The reactionary tendency became rather marked in to- days stock market, although there was some show of resistence to the decline. efforts in support were evil dent at some points. The principal ground of reaction was the banking position, which is the cause of some anxiety although the rates charged for money today showed no symptoms of a coming stringency. The maturity tomorrow of installments of subscrip- tions amounting to s15.000, 900 for Un- ion Pacific convertible bonds and SI,5OO.000 for Atchison convertible bonds are complicating factors in the situation July 10. is to a certain ex- tent ia critical period in the money market and its passage without dis turbance will be felt as presenting a clear field beyond.
 The marking down of the price of copper seemed to he of unfavorable effect. Although copper stocks ad- vanced yesterday in expectation of the action. St Paul offered only the point of active resistence to the de- cline, efforts to support centering on that stock. which closed at a gain of over a point Bonds were un- changed
