Police Commissioner Keil-
Keirs unpublished views on the sub

commonplace use for so natty craft
especially when a warm hearted, gen
erous municipality pays gasoline bills
and the salary Of the engineer without
q whimper. Ken has discovered that
such launch is ideal for entertainment
purposes. He discovered 1T first just
two days after the new police launch
Patrol was put into active service,
and he has made good use Of the knowl-
edge.

for it is there that Commissioner Keil
has his home. Parties Of five or six
have been the rule rather than the eX-
ception. Keil, with a keen regard for
the eNigencies Of duty, as regards US
ing the Patrol for the guarding of
the San Francisco water front, has
not kept the launch over by the Marin
county shore very long at time, how
ever This is undoubtedly the cause
for the speed mania which he has ex-
hibited, for il is a matter Of record
that the engine Of the launch has been
speeded up to it's limit. regardless of
gasoline consumption, and that many OF
the transbay trips have been made in
80 minutes-which is going some, even
for q patrol boat
At the average of two trips in five

Commissioner Keil is scheduled to play

strictly invitational; but anybody who

CRANK TRIES TO
KILL ROOSEVELT
Bullet From Revolver Whizzes
Over Presidents Head, Mar
rOwly Missing Mark
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
-..sOYsTER Ray, Sept. IAN attempt
&c nssassfnate President Roosevelt was
made Saturday while he was riding ON
the Cove road near Sagnmore hiII.
The assassin, hidden In the bushes at
the roadside, fired at the president with
revolver, sthe bullet whixzing over
ROOsevelt's head. The president, per-
fectly cnlm, pulled up his horse and
wished to dlsmount and search the
bushes. The friend who was riding
with him dissuaded him and they
rode ON.
The attempt ON the presidents life
became known today when the secret
service men guarding Roosevelt ar
rested John C0ughlin, armed and SEEM
ingly insane, as he sought an interview
with the president.
The attempt explains why Chief
Will<ie of the secret police was called
hurriedly from Washington to Saga-
more hill, arriving there Sunday.
Every circumstance goes to prove
that the effort to shoot Roosevelt was
deliberate and carefully planned.
The bullet was fired from behind
hedge which bordered the road. 1t
passed few inches above the presi-
dents head, and he and a friend who
was riding with him heard the whistle
of the leaden missile clearly. If it had
been a volley of shot the explanation
might be given that a careless and law
defying sportsman had done the shoot
ing a bit in advance of the opening of
the game season.
There is no question. however. it was
a bullet from pistol or rife and that
it came perilously near ending the life
of the president.
Coughlin, with loaded revolver, was
arrested by Detectives Sloan and Adams
after brief struggle while making his
way UP Sycamore hill to see the presi-
dent. The prisoner described himself as
a detective from Boston.
Il have been concerned over the work
of yeggmen in Boston" he said. IT have
discovered who the yeggmen are. have
come here to demand that the president
give me 10000 troops. With them will
go to Boston and capture the guilty
men,"
And after a moment he blurted out:
Give me that gun; must go and see
the president at once. He will do what
I ask

struggling. was pushed and hoisted into
it and taken before Justice Franklin of
the village police court, who sent him
to the county jail at Mineola.
In small hand satchel carried by
Coughlin the police found six shot
pistol unloaded and a dirk knife The
pistol was inclosed in cloth bag, which
had a drawing string like the hand
bags lawyers used to carry. The charge
against Coughlin was carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons.
Whether Coughlin was in the neigh
borhood of Oyster Bay on Saturday
when the shot was fired at the presi-
dent is not known. The secret service
men are doing their utmost to trace his
movements during the last three DAYS.

Market street was scarcely Iona
enough for the San Francisco building
trades council yesterday. With the
van of Its monster parade turning from
the main thoroughfare of the city into

marching line were forming beyond
the intersection of Market and Valencia
streets. Twenty-six thousand men who

that has gone into the reconstruction
OF the city were in line, headed by p.
H. Mccarthy. president of the state
and the San Francisco building trades

Members of Labor
Council March
in Pageant

While the parade of the unions affi1-
lated with the San Francisco labor
council was not as large as was eX-
pected in point of numbers in line, the
display as a whole was creditable
one. 1t was marked by pretty features,
and in the opinion of the judges who
viewed the parade in Van Ness avenue
the prize winners were the beer bot
tiers, who made the best appearance
and won the Philadelphia shoe COM
panys cup; the milk wagon drivers,
who made the best union label display,
winning a handsome cup, and the ice
wagon drivers, whose handsome float
was adjudged the finest in the parade
The latter union won the cup donated
by Prayers. Counts taken at several
points on the line of march placed the
number in column at from 1000 to 5000.
STARTS ON TIME
$ The start was from Davis and Market
streets at precisely 10 o'clock and the
procession was led by Grand Marshal
Michael Casey and his aids, Henry

preceded the three divisions of men
employed in the local breweries, the
beer bottlers, brewery workers and
beer wagon drivers; the first, attired
in uniform gray hats, olive colored
shirts and white duck trousers, and
their hats were decorated with hops;
the second wore dark suits with gray
hats and each carried a cane, around
