SOCIALISTS ARRESTED
FOR STREET SPEAKING
TWO More Gathered In for Persisting
In ignoring Ordinances of Mu-
nlolpaIIty-Refuse to
Give Ball

Charged with speaking on the streets
without having permit from the police
commission, r. l.. Quimby and J. p.
rested by Patrolmen Lyons and Walker
last night.
When taken to the central station the
men were told they would be given
their liberty provided they deposited
5000 ball each. This is the sum fixed
for men and women arrested on this
charge. The prisoners admitted they
had the sum necessary, but refused to
put it UP, saying they preferred to go
to Jail with Van Ness, Henry and Wit,
the Socialists arrested several night ago
on similar charges.
McNally and Quimby will be taken
to police court this morning, where, it
Is understood they will plead not guilty
and demand immediate jury trials.
After the arrests at Eighth and Main
large number of persons followed
others speakers to a hall at S14 South
Main street. A man whose name was
said to be Holloway spoke from win
dow ledge while the patrolmen tried in
vain to clear the streets.
About twenty-five patrolmen were on
hand when the arrests were made.
There was no disturbance, despite the
fact the Socialists declared they ex-
pected outsiders to try to start some
thing"
81 don't see what there is about these
meetings to alarm the police" said a
man in the crowd who refused to give
his name, because, he declared, he was
getting his business in order so that he
might undergo arrest. "These patrol
men seem to be men of intelligence. 1
don't see why they expect trouble from
law abiding citizens like we are. We
are opposed to disorder and unlawful
proceedings. That is why we are here
tonight. We want to see Mayor Harper
and his police board obey the highest
the constitution to be superior to the
city ordinances. The constitution of
California supplements the national
constitution. We want the free speech
our forefathers fought for, and we be-
lieve the lawabiding people will stay
with u.s."
J. p. Mentally said last night: I'VE
are peacefully inclined and law abiding.
The constitution has been held up to
us as sacred. We shall regard 1t as
such, but we want others to do the
same. They laid down the rules of the
game and we have abided by those
rules. Now let them show us that they
will play the game on the square. The
constitution guarantees free speech and
free assemblage. We shall insist on
that right and call upon all law abiding.
freedom loving people in this city to
support u.s."
When McNally was arrested he was
repeating clauses from the constitution
of the United States which touches
upon free speech and free assemblage.
Quimby was arrested while repeating
aloud the Declaration of Independence
which he had memorized. He uttered
no other words than these when he was
arrested.

TRIES TO KILL
SELF AND CHILD
WOMAN TWICE ATTEMPTS TO
END BOTH LIVES
FOUND INsENSlHLE FROM GAS
APPROPRIATION
Had Stolen Fruit from Hotel Kitchen,
but Twenty-DolIar Gold Piece
Is Found In Her
Purse

Mrs. Maggie Swan of San Francisco,
accompanied by her 8-year-old daugh-
ter, Maudie, was placed in the central
police station last night in care of the
matron on a charge of suspicion.
The woman was arrested by Patrol
man George Williamson and Humane
Officer Reynolds after a desperate at
tempt to commit suicide by asphyxia-
ton.
Her husband died recently and she
herself arrived here a week ago from
San Francisco and took a room at the
Palm hotel, Fifth and Los Angeles
streets.
The second night of he. occupancy
of the room the landlady discovered
the woman and her little daughter in
sensible in the room with the gas
turned on.
Mrs. Swan explained at the time that
she had dropped off to sleep with the
light burning and that it must have
gone out after she dropped to sleep.
The woman had been without money,
as it was understood, for the last two
days, and late yesterday afternoon. ac-
cording to the police, she stole some
oranges and other fruit from the
kitchen of the hotel and retired to her
room, where she and her daughter ate
the fruit and then went to bed.
An hour later the iandlady was at
tracted to the room by the strong smell
of gas and found both mother and
daughter insensible.
A hurry call was sent for the police
ambulance and they were removed to
the receiving hospital, where they
were revived and turned over to the
charge of the matron.
1t was at first thought that Mrs.
Swan and her child were suffering
from lack of food and that she stole
the fruit on that account, but at the
Jail 500 gold piece was found in her
purse. The woman will be held on the
theory that she is insane.

Arguments for a NaVy.

Representative Hobson, of the navy, advanced
a curious argument in favor of the large navy he is
always contending for. He said the United States
could have compelled Russia to have evacuated Man
churia and there would have been no war between
Russia and Japan had the United States possessed
$5O,OO0,OOO worth of batteships.
If the United States is going to meddle with the
affairs of other nations, it will, of course, need a
great navy. But the average American will hope
that the United States will go minding its own
business and prospering in peace, leaving the en-
tangements of the old world to untangle themselves
without any assistance from the new world.
This country has become the seat of powerful ma
ton by following policy of non-interference with
other nations and if great navy is to tempt it to do
what Mr.. Hobson said it might have DONE it would
be better to sink the ships it has than add to its
fighting equipment.
Mr. Hobson is teaching doctrine that ought not
to find lodgment in the maturing minds of the rising
generation, a doctrine at variance with all the be-
liefs of the past and that could do incalculable
damage if any considerable number of Americans
should endorse in the years of the future.

Hartman to the Rescue.

AT critical moment in the affairs of the Ere
Railroad company E. H. Hartman kindly vert to
its rescue and the Erie has passed the peril Of a
receivership. 1t came to Mr.. Harrmans knowledge
that notes of the company to the value of $55OOOOo
would fall due the Sth inst, and he became irl-
mediately interested his information assuring him
that the Erie people would not be able to raise the
money-not if he could help it.
By the time he had borrowed money enough to
purchase the notes. which were scattered about hthcr
and thither, the price of the paper had fallen 50
strongly that he was able to take over the entire
issue at discount of twenty per cent and it is
denied that certain legitimate scandals that might
have had their origin in the Hartman camp had
something to do with its depreciation.
At any rate when the notes became due and the
Erie face to face with condition, Mr.. Harri-
man marched to the rescue and relieved the situa-
himself in control of the property and in position
to negotiate new notes from the proceeds of which
he will be able to pay back the money loaned him
for the purchase of the other notes.
More important than the mere details of the
transaction is the requirement of a property which,
attached to his other railroad property, will give The

Senator Hale'S Attack.

Newspapers are inclined to the opinion that when
Senator Hale, of Maine, moved to reconsider the
vote by which the army appropriation bill had passed
the Senate and Senator Frye, of Maine moved to lay
the motion of his colleague the table, there was an
understanding between the two statesmen from the
Northeastern corner of the Republic. For there
considerable interval between the two motions
and during that interval things said by Mr..
Hale and Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. C1app that reflected
on the strenuous President and the man he has Sc
lected to be his successor
There is gradually solidfying conviction that
Mr. Hale created the opportunity that he might give
emphasis to opposition to the extravagant de-
mands of the administration in which the secretary
of war heartily participates
The army appropriation bill to which he addressed
himself carries total of $1oooooooO and the naval
appropriation bill, as reported from the house
mttee carries few million than that
The probabilities point the expenditure during the
next fiscal year, of couple of hundred million dol
lars for the army and navy establishments and the
figures do not meet the demands of the adminstra-
ton, although they about $25,000000 in excess
of the appropriations for the purposes for the
current fiscal year.
Mr.. Hale was moved to speak by the appearance
of an article in Washington paper that stated that
Secretary Taft in favor of increase in the
standing army to 125 900 and he felt it to be his
duty remind the Senate that seventy per cent of
the revenue of the Government being expended
the of the past and the future
1t the demand of the chief of the general
staff, Mr.. Hale said, that the army be doubled in
size and the chief of staff was the head of the
operating part of the army during the prolonged
frequent and necessary absence of the secretary of
war" bit of that not lost on the
friends or enemies of Mr. Taft.
Mr.. Hale spoke of the Philippine Islands "a
pestilence which had contributed to the policy of
military expansion although it his senatorial
associates that unoaded the archipelago up
on the United States. When the promoters of the
war policy that followed the expansion policy of
decade ago fall out, there is hope for some mtga-
ton of the world power brain storm that has long
affected the judgment of the dominant party
1t is true that Mr.. Beverdge in defence of the
administration but there is little significance in any
attitude that he may and it can be concluded
that the voice of the Senate was with Mr.. Hale in
his assault on a policy that has been continuously
exploited under the administration of Mr. Roosevelt
