According to statement issued by

population of San Francisco is 1901.
a gain of 1866, or per cent more than
the population the committee said the
city had just before the big fire. In
order to arrive at these totals the COM
mittee took as a basis 176,767 names in
the new Crocker-Lang1ey directory.
From this figure were deducted 1880
names that are supposed to represent
business men living in suburban cities.
On the supposition that the directory
company experienced less difficulty in
completing it's work this year than in
1907, the promotion committee has used
8 as a multiplier instead of 31a as it
did last year, making a total of 1925
To this has been added S.000 the
Japanese consulate's latest estimate of
the Japanese population. and $500 as
representing the number of Chinese
living permanently in San Francisco.
This brings the grand total to 5O7 ,S01,
which the promotion committee regards
as very conservative figure. 1t is said
that the population of the entire bay
region has increased proportionately
during the last year.

BIG FINES FOR GOUGING
THE CITY OF BOSTON
Officials of Two Steel Conn
panies Punished for Combin-
iuv to Secure Fat Contracts

BOSTON, Oct. 30.-Officials of two
of the largest structural steel COM
panies in the city. David H. Andrews.
president of the Boston bridge works,
and Charles N Fits. secretary of the
New England structural company,
pleaded guilty today to an Indictment
charging them with collusion in OBJ
tanning contracts from the city of Bos-
ton. Each paid a fine of $1,000, and, in
addition, paid $4,000 to the city for
extra profits which the two companies
are said to have derived from the con-
tracts.
The case against the officials of the
five structural companies was insti-
tuted at the suggestion of the Boston
finance commission, whose report was
quoted by President Roosevelt in a
message to congress on April 27 last,
in which he asked for more power in
the prosecution of suits against COR
porations.
AS the result of the report of the
finance commission five men in this city
were indicted on charges of collusion.
They were, in addition to Andrews and
Fits, Duncan H. Russell, treasurer of
the James Russell boiler company
Charles F. Koopman, president of the
Cunningham iron works and John F..
Lynch, treasurer OF the Hodge boiler
company. The indictments against the
other three officials are still pending.

TAFT AGAINST TRUSTS
Republican Nominee Says Oil
Company Will Be Prosecuted

BUFFALO, Oct. So.-W. H. Taft, at
Convention hall tonight, referring to
the Rockefeller subject, said:
Mr.. Bryan is greatly troubled about my atti-
tude toward the trusts and more so by the
announcement that Mr.. Rockefeller is for me.
II the STANDARD oil company were anxious 10
bring about my election l should tatke it that
the last thing that would be done would be TO
advertise Its support for me-
Therefore this publication which Mr.. Bryan
Is now making much of. il TO me. has
but little Significance In attempting to show that
the Standard oil any other trust because it
hopes for immunity. is supporting That is
not the way things are done.
There is q gentleman from your city with a
very lively imaginstion-g even more
lively the responsibility Of the campaign
grows upon him. He has conceived the idea that
the Standard oil company contributed a large
amount TO the republican campaign fund.

that neither the Standard oil company any
one connected With its management has con-
tributed single cent.
In comparing the remedies for evils
in trusts proposed by the democratic
party, with republican policies, Judge
Taft said:
The administration is prosecuting the Standard
oil company and it intends TO continue the pro-
secution until that part which may be evil is
stamped out.

MACK UPHOLDS BRYAN
Democratic Chairman Says Oil
Trust Helped Taft Campaign

NEW YORK. Oct. 30.-Democratic
National Chairman Mack, after reading
the statement issued tonight at the
White House. where it was said some
amusement was caused by the announc-
ment of Rockefeller in view of what
the administration had done to the
Standard oil company, said:
The White House statement is its own an
swer. The bargain made between Taft's
managers and Rockefeller and concerns the pos
sible future administration OF Mr.. Taft and
not what the present administration has or
has not done to the Standard oil company.
Replying to another printed article
in which il was charged that Rockefel-
Ter had been persuaded to indorse Taft
at the instance of the democratic ma
tional committee, Mack said:
The statement is ridiculous aud absurd on the
face Of it and has been already sufficiently an
swered.
Mack had charged that the declara-
tion of John D. Rockefeller for Taft
for president was the result of a deal
between the republican national COM
mittee and the Standard oil interests,
whereby National Chairman Hitchcock
received large campaign contributions
and Rockefeller the promises. Mack said
that undoubtedly the S29. 900, 600 fine of
the Standard oil company would be
fixed UP in the event of Taft's election
as a part of the bargain.
