JOHNSON TELLS
OF FIGHT FOR
CIVIC PURITY
Makes Plea to State University
Students to Fight Corpora
tiOn Greed
Would Wage War on System
Whose Banner is the Black
Flag and Dollar Sign
[Speeial Dispatch 10 The Call

BERK ELEY. Oct. IA plea for the
students of the university to take up
! the fight for civic purity was made
tonight in Harmon gymnasium when
Hiram w Johnson, the well known San
Francisco attorney. who assisted in the
prosecution of the San Francisco graft
ers, addressed an audience of students
and residents of this city under the aus
pices of the League of the Republic,
composed of students of the University
of California.
| Johnson was introduced by Prof. Lin
coin Hutchinson, student adviser, and
at once exhorted the students to pre-
pare for the battle against corruption.
Black Flag Its Banner
This fight which we are making
will soon be your fight" he declared,
.'for we will in the order of time lay
down our arms. and l beg of all of
| you to prepare for the battle against
the system which has for its banner
the black flag and the dollar sign.
I'm making it you must give up all
thought of wealth and of the attain
ment of riches and fight only for the
glory of having fought against cor
ruption and wrong
The speaker made a reference to
recent book of Professor Ross, and
said that while it was easy to under
stand the crime that a man commits
when he knocks his fellow citizen on
the head it required ina gination to dis
tinguish crime when it came in the
form of franchise steal or a water
right pilfered.
Menace to Institutions
Johnson continued: These classes
of crimes are menace to our institu-
tions. and it is against this class of
crime that we have been fighting for
three years in san Francisco. 1t is a
fgnt along broad lines and fight for
the breaking of the system.
1T is fight as to whether this same
system shall survive: which allows an
Aldrich to dominate the senate; a Can
non the house of representatives that
compels San Francisco on bended knee
to beg for an adequate water supply
which was granted by former presi-
dent; which allows Ballinger, and
which tolerates an administration
which retains a Ballinger in office"
Johnson made an appeal to the stu
dents to take up the fight OF Francis
J. Heney in compelling the bribe Civ
ing corporations to cease aheir corrup-
tion of the public servants and to carry
on their business, supported by the peo-
pie and given to them by the people
in a legitimate manner
Fleece the Public
He said that the bribes In almost
all cases had been given by public
service corporations who in turn were
able to fleece the public and to be en-
riched almost beyond all dreams of
avarice.
Johnson made many references to
former President Roosevelt which
brought forth cheers from his audi
ence He said that Roosevelt was the
| type of man who fought the fight of
the common people and made common
honesty in business and politics the
rule of his administration.
"All eyes of the nation are on the
jungle of Africa" he declared. "and
our former president will again re-
turn to take up the fight for the
people he so courageously commenced
and only temporarily discontinued

The blaze was one of the most stub
born the fire department has been called
upon to fight in the last year and was
spectacular in the extreme. More than
$50 firemen struggled with it for two
hours. but, owing to the very infiam-
mable nature of the contents of the
building, their efforts were fruitless.
At one point hal fan hour after the fire
started it seemed to be under control.
The big initial blaze had been almost
subdued. But thick clouds of smoke
pouring from the front of the structure
dashed upon them was without the
slightest effect.
The demolished warehouse extended
from Brannan street back to Bluxome.

frontage covered was 100 feet A huge
outburst of flame over almost the en-
tire area of the building was seething
up to a height of so feet or more an
hour after the fire started The heat
was Intense and it was feared a CORFU
gated iron building 100 feet to the
west containing 100 horses belonging
TO Farnsworth & Ruggles would ignite
Preparations were made for the re-
moval of the animals. but in the end
that step was found unnecessary
Crowded With Furniture
The warehouse was stocked as full
of furniture as 1t could be. Twelve

room for any additional merchandise on
any of the three floors. The furniture
alone is declared to be worth s1500o0,
and the building, of which only the
brick walls of the lower story were left
standing, was valued at about $50 900
The fire is believed to have started
in the building of the Crown ore mills
adjoining the warehouse on the east

all was well, when he saw fire lieu
tenant galloping down Bluxome street
in his gig. Hanson looked for fire and
says he saw it in the ore mills He
is positive the blaze did not originate in
the furniture warehouse. He grabbed
some papers in the office and, after
making two trips over the warehouse
he got out into the street.
Fire Captain Injured
Captain Daunet was injured through
falling from shed inside the ware
house. The black smoke made the at
mosphere so dense that, although he
carried lantern, the captain could
not see for an inch before him and
pitched to the floor, distance of
about IL feet.
He was picked up and carried out
by Firemen Marcus Daley, Edward
Lamb and Martin nannan and taken to
the central emergency hospital. His
injuries consisted of a laceration of
the left ear, fracture of the small
bone in the left arm at the elbow and
contuSlonS or the back.
Other firemen risked their lives in
endeavoring to tear strips of iron from
the walls so that water could be
thrown into the smoking mass. The
iron was burning to a red heat as
they worked. Twenty policemen
under Captain Colby aided the f7remen
by restraining a big crowd of on
lockers.
