DIVES FOR LELAND
M'CARTHY'S CHARGE
Attempts to Offset the Odium
Resulting From the Bas-
sity Letter

P. II. Mccarthy cleverly attempted
last evening to escape the odium which
had attached itself to him as q result
of the reproduction in The Call of a
letter signed by the notorious Jerome
Bassity Of the liberty league urging
the voters to support Mccarthy.
In Young Mems Hebrew association
hall in Page street near Stanyan Nc
Carthy charged that Tom McGee, pal
of the late Pincus and man of the dives.
was organizing the dive keepers to sup
port DR.. T. B. w. Leland of the demo-
cratic ticket for mayor.
When 1 am mayor there will be no
gumshoeing," said Mccarthy. The po-
lice department must preserve order.
1 want to serve notice to McNab and
Leland that they must stand aloof from
McGee. During my administration Nc
Gee will be compelled to be good"
Mccarthy opened his nights campaign
with an address before few voters in
Oceanside hall at Forty-eighth avenue
and l street. He promised sewers,
streets, schools, parks and city and
! county hospital. He said 1t would be
his duty to appoint men to cooperate
with him who would do things for the
people rather than attend banQuets and
ignore the things needed. Mccarthy
asserted that he was free from a boss
and he praised himself for the work he
hdO QOHC III Tile bIdQcS COuHClt.
1T will be my ambition" said McCar-
thy that only American citizens shall
work in bringing the water from Hetch
Hetchy to this city. Vote the straight
union labor party ticket. You will not
have to go back three years as our op-
ponents would have you, but look at
the present administration. Ask your
self If graft and thievery ever main
tained in San Francisco as now and you
will answer that there was never be-
fore such an avalanche of crime"
Mccarthy followed by telling OF the
razing of the old city hall and charging
that certain interests had grated on
the administration in the project OF
having a new civic center.
At 7. NJ H A. hall Mccarthy spoke
very highly of himself again and then
ridiculed his opponents. He insisted
that 1t was his ambition to give San
Francisco a clean business administra-
tion along liberal lines and he wanted
to make this city a healthy place for
businessmen.
To-day we have a government of a
few for a few" said Mccarthy. II
you are friendly with the administra-
tion you can do anything you want to-.
Mccarthy stopped next at the COL
iseum, where a prize fight was In
progress, and went from there to a
meeting of the Colored Mccarthy Flick
ert club at 74S Pacific street McCar-
thy was very anxious that the newspa-
per men should not accompany him on
this visit to Barbary coast. He re-
turned to a large meeting in Duboce
hall at 465 Duboce avenue. He spoke
also at Union hall. BIG Fillmore street;
the F'ortieth district club, 1851 Post
street, and Cooks and Walters hall, $50
Eddy, street.
NJ. 1. Mulcrevy, T. F. ONeil, c.. A. Nell
son. John o. Walsh, P. J. Kelleher, c.
NJ Fickert, John A. Kelly, H. M. Alex
ander and DR.. Walsh were among the
other candidates who spoke at the diff
ferent union labor party meetings.

cheers. He reviewed the work of the
present administration and asked foI
the support of the Leland ticket.
The Mccarthy boosters bolted the
hall at this stage of the proceedings
them to remain, promising them some
thing interesting.
Those remaining adopted the follows
ing resolution, introduced by George
Dawson:
Resolved, by the San Francisco DEM
ocratie club In meeting assembled, that
we reaffirm our loyalty to Doctor Leland
for mayor and for Francis J. Heney for
district attorney and the entire demo
cratic ticket and pledge them our hearty
and loyal support
Later in the evening Henry Bien-
field and his boilers bobbed up with a
set of resolutions which purported to
have been adopted at a meeting Of
which j. D. Condor was chairman and
Neil Slattery secretary. Delany and
his followers locked the hall when they
finished their meeting and so assert
that Bienfleld and his friends held no
meeting. Delany said also that Slat-
terry was not a member of the club.
Bienfields resolution lamented that
the club had recently been betrayed
by men who had gone over in a body
to Gavin McNab, ''the arch boss of the
special interests and the tool of the
public service corporations
The resolution then attempts to null
lily the recent nominations of the club
and concludes as follows:
Resolved, that the San Francisco

Fully 500 democrats were packed into
the haH in expectation of a row. They
were not disappointed. Cards an
nouncing the meeting had been sent
out by O. C. Wilson. temporary chair
man, and Eugene F. Lacey, secretary.
1t was charged that these cards had
not been sent to many members who
were standing by the regular demo-
cratic ticket.
Clarence A. Henning was chosen
chairman of the meeting and speeches
were made by c. w. Eastin, Robert
Mann, A. H. Barendt. Francis w. Smith,
George Dawson, D. l. Mahoney. Hugh

of the ticket.
Henry Bienfield attempted to make
a speech In which he charged that the
club had surrendered to Gavin McNab.

Kissed down in true democratic style
Some one asked Bienfield If he had not
said he was going to support Nc
Carthy for mayor. Bienfield answered
no.
You're a liar" came the retort, to
which Bienfleld shouted that he was
going to do all he could to encompass
the defeat of Larry Dolan for sheriff
Delany ruffied matters again by as
serting that o. c. Wilson, the tempo
rary chairman, had spoken from a
buggy in the Richmond district in sup
port of P. H. Mccarthy.

clubs choice for mayor. entered the
hall at this time and was greeted with

her to be Miss Wardlaw. She gave her
address as IL Clinton street and left
a note which was written on a busi-
ness card. That card Mrs. Kane ut-
fortunately has destroyed.
The police have discovered that on
Thanksgiving eve Miss Wardlaw called
at the side door of the Stats Hotel, at
Fifteenth and Main streets, and bought
a bottle of wlliskey. The bartender
says that she asked him TO tell a
negro who was standing at the bar that
she wanted to see him. The negro
went out the front door, the bartender
says, and the two disappeared. Two
hours later, the bartender says, the
negro. who is a stranger to him, re-
turned wearing a broad smile.
Neighbors in North Fourteenth street
say they saw a negro around the house
on Sunday night, but so far the police
have been unable to establish any con-
nection with the first mentioned negro.

HARD WORK AHEAD
!. FOR CONGRESS AS
SESSION RESUMES
New Bills Flood House and An-
other Delnge Is Due in
Senate Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-Crowded
galleries representing official and social
life in Washington witnessed the COM
meneement of the regular session OF
the Sixty-first Congress today. On the
floor of both houses a renewal of friend
ship among senators and representa-
tives took the place of interchanges on
partisan or political matters, and the
usual first day scenes were enacted.
Vice-President Sherman in the SEN
ate and Speaker Cannon in the HOUSE
formally called the respective sessions
to order at noon.
The procedure followed was similar
to that which has characterized every
opening of Congress. A great mass OF
bills was introduced by representatives
by the simple act of depositing them
in the receptacle provided for the pur-
pose. Senators win wait until tomor-
row before laying before their body the
new measures they propose to father
during the coming months.
Senator Bailey sprung surprise on
the Senate with the unique suggestion
that he would like to see that body hold
night sessions, leaving the day to be
devoted to individual business by Sena-
tors, and declaring his purpose of at
ta,nntinr to have sessions convened
bereafter at o'clock. He attempted to
hold nm the usual resolution by which
Congress begins it's work at the noon
hour, but finally yielded to Senator

CREAVES HAS
 A MAJORITY

Little Rock, Feb. I5.-Special. On a vote in the senate this morning which apparently tested the relative strength, though not finally deciding the question of the Greaves Sumpter controversy, the Greaves faction had majority, the vote standing Y to II. The vote was on all appeal from decis- ion of the chair declaring out of order resolution by Senator Ar mold calling for an immediate re- port by the committee on elections. The question has occupied the at fention of the senate all day and a vote will probably be reached be- fore adjournment.

the old carpet Friday afternoon and after a brief barley, decided that if it came up there would not be enough puzzleworkers in Little Rock to tell where the pieces be- longed. The floor was then swept and the carpet left where 1t was, and the state lost two days that the legislators might have consumed in discussing local legislation or the Caldwell & Drake affairs, a clean: loss to the state of $2 ,ooo, all because the old carpet was not re- placed by new one before the opening of the session.

Surveying Hot Springs Line.

Hot Springs, Fcb. I5.-Special. Reports reaching here today indicate that surveyors of the Hot Springs, Ouachita and Mena rail roads are approaching this city with their lines. This railroad which has just taken over the rights of the Mena and Eastern Arkansas road, is expected to be operating between this city and Mena during the present year. A western outlet has been wanted for this territory for years, the Rock Island, and Iron Mountain, opera ting over the Little Rock and Hot Springs Western tracks, terminal ing their lines from the east here. The proposed route gives Hot Springs a position on a line from Memphis to Kansas City, and opens up hundred of square miles of virgin timber, and minerals.

ACCIDENTLY SHOOTS SELF
Springfield Boy Probably Fatally Wounded
 by Gunshot Recently.

Springfield, Feb. I5.-Special.- The son of D. w. Hunt accidentally shot himself Thursday at w. T. Birds store three miles north of here. The boy had carried the
 gun with him to the store and in attempting to set the gun down on rock, it slipped, letting the ham, mer strike the stone, causing the gun to go-off, the whole discharge entering the body little above the heart, tearing away part of the shoulder blade. The hole is large enough that mans hand can be easily placed in it. Dr. Powell is waiting on the boy and reports that he has some hopes of his recovery.
