SPRECKELS MUST NOT FINCH
PRESIDENT SAYS NOT TO, AND
GIVES ENCOURAGEMENT
Letter From Roosevelt Regarding
Woes of Reformers and Of Frisco
Anti-Grafters in Particular.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 2O.-The Call
today prints letter dated June s, at the
White House, from President Roosevelt
to Rudolph Spreckels. in which the Presi-
dent comments upon the San Francisco
graft prosecutions and urges the prose-
cutors to keep up the fight"
The following is the letter:
my Dear Mr.. Spreckles:
Now and then you and Mr.. Heney and
the others who are associated with you
must feel downhearted when you see
men guilty Of atrocious crimes who, for
some cause or other. succeed in escaping
punishment. and. especially. when you
see men of wealth. of high business and.
in a sense, of high social standing, band
ed together against you.
Experience of All Reformers.
MY dear sir. l want you to feel that
your experience is simply the experience
Of all of us who are engaged in this fight.
Their is no form of SANDER and wicked
falsehood which will not as a matter Of
course be employed against all men en-
gagged in such a struggle.
Now, l do hope you and your col
leagues will treat all this bitterness with
entire disregard. 1t is of small cOnse-
quence to you or to any of us who are
engaged in this work whether men think
we'll or i'll of us personally; but it is of
great consequence that We should do the
work without fiinChing, on the one hand
and, on the other hand. without losing
our good humored common sense, without
becoming angered and irritated to a de-
gree that will in any way cause us to
lose our heads.
p1,1tAcro ond M0h Rnla
TT is just as bad to be ruled by plh
tocracy as by a mob. 1t is profoundly
un-American. and, in a social sense. pro-
foundry immoral TO stand for or against
a given man. not because he is or Is not a
brave. upright and able man. but because
he does or does not belong to labor
union or does or does not represent the
big business interests.
In their essence, down at the founda-
ton Of things. the ties that are all inn
portant are those that knit together hon
est men. brave men, square dealing men.
And 1t is a mighty poor substitute If we
replace these ties by those that bind men
together whether they are good or bad.
simply because they follow a particular
business. have given social standing or
belong to particular organization.
Don't Finch"
You have heartbreaking difficulties
with which to contend. You have to fight
not only the banded powers of evil, but
alas. that it should be said, the supine-
ness and Indifference of many good mer
whose Jealous support you had a right to
feel that you could rely upor.
DO not be discouraged; don't finch.
You are in a fight for plain decency, for
the plain democracy of the people who
believe in honesty and in fair dealing as
between man and man. Do not become
diSheartened
Keep up the fight.
Very sincerely yours
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

loud report which was heard two or
three blocks away. startled the passen-

by a puff of smoke sweeping out from

side.
Headlong Rush From Car.
Realizing that there was a fire under

common impulse and made for the win

no one took account of those in front. and
self-preservation was the first thought
1t was a fighting dress-ripping, headlong
rush.
The accident occurred at the corner Of
Whipple street and Flushing avenue.
The contagiOn of excitement spread itself
10 the neighborhoOd, which was soon in
d ferment, and adjacent streets poured
forth people. all running to the common
center where the burning car stood. In
comparatively short time there was a
crowd estimated in number at 5000 per-

store. Police reserves were called out to
establish police lines.
An alarm turned In and the fire
was soon eXtinguished

A NEW RABIES SERUM
Head of Pasteur Institute Re-

RETURNS TO NEW YORK
VALUABLE FOR IMMUNITY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 2O.-Dr. Georges G..
Rambaud. president of the New York
Paris with a new serum for the treat
ment of rabies which he says is little
short of marvellous. DIR. Rambaud de-
clares it is his belief that the new serum
will completely revolutionize the practice
of curing sufferers from hydrophobia.
The serum. obtained from sheep, i'm
certain quantity of fresh virus of rabies
Two injections of this mixture" said
Dr. Rambaud, will immunize a dog
against rabies year or more, and, as the
treatment of DR.. August Marie of the
Pasteur Institute in Paris has proved,
will prevent rabies in man. The new
serum secures immunity much more rap
idly than the old process. Heretofore in
the case of bad bites the disease has de-
veloped before the old treatment could
arrest 1t. The new treatment is swifter
In its effect by several days"
DR.. Rambaud brought enough of the
compound serum with him to last sew
eral weeks, or until fresh supply can
be obtained from Paris. DR.. August
Marie, head of the institute in Paris.
has treated more than three hundred
cases without the loss of life, DR.. RAM
baud said.
Every Hope for Recovery.
THE new serum said DR.. Rambaud,
lis not a cure-because rabies can never
be cured after it has develOped-but If in
jected a few days after the patient is
bitten there is every hope for a speedy
recovery.
Our improved treatment is truly Won
derful. Give 1T time to produce immu-
nifty before the rabies germs have had
time to multiply and reach the nervous
centers. and the patient is saved. With
the Pasteur treatment as 1t has been used
since its discovery this full immunity is
not reached until nearly five weeks after
the first injection has been given. the

CATTLE--Receipts Of cattle this morn
very fair run for Thursday. The down
ward movement in values inaugurated
Tuesday still continued.
While everyone was out in fair season
In the morning. the beef steer market was
slow all day, with prices still lower than
yesterday. Just how much lower 1t is
not easy to say for the reason that the
market has been breaking every day since
Monday. 1t would be safe, however, to
quote the market today as much as 10000
lower than Monday on the best grades of
cattle, handy light weights holding up the
best. The commoner kinds, that Is, cattle
on the half fat order are 26c and in some
cases possibly as much as 4Oc lower. The
market closed mean.
The best cows and heifers were pretty
good sellers. but the common to medium
kinds of cows have been rapidly working
lower. That kind was neglected and hard
to move from the beginning, with the week
and they are now 5Q4Oc lower than last
week.
There was hardly enough stockers or
feeders in the yards this morning TO make
a market. At the same time the demand
was limited and the feeling continued weak.
Light stockers have suffered severely dur
ing the last week and are not far from 50c
lower than the high time week or ten
days ago.

SHEEP--The market on both sheep and
lambs was a very slow and duh proposition
this morning, the same at this point as at
other selling points. Buyers were out in
very good season, but their orders were
apparently very limited and they only
picked out here and there something that
would just suit them, while other stuff was
neglected, making II a hard matter in many
cases for statesmen to unload Thus the
market was a drag from start TO finish,
with prices at least 1Oc lower and in some
cases possibly more than that. Good,
shorn, light lambs sold as high as S655,
the same kind that brought S6.65 yesterday
Good, heavy, shorn lambs sold around
f600M6l0 AS high as 5000 was paid for
right good, shorn wethers The fact that
wethers sold as high as heavy lambs was
one of the features of the trade and ship
pers will understand very readily from
this that heavy lambs are not wanted and
are selling at a big discount as compared
with the light weights. On the other hand
the supply OF sheep has been so light, es-
pecially at this point, that they are SELL
ing, at relatively high prices as compared
with lambs.
