"SOLID THREE" MENDING OLD
SCORE WITH PRIDHAM
Detention Home Site Problem and
County Hospital Said to Be
Spots Selected for
Reprisals

Is the "solid three" of the board OF
supervisors determined to punish Su-
pervisors Pridham and Manning for
their non-support of Erwin Dlngle,
against whose selection as horticultural
commissioner so much pressure was
brought to bear by the fruit interests
of the county that he was relegated 10
the position of deputy?
So it seems, and the first slap on the
wrist was administered to Supervisor
Pridham yesterday during a discussion
on the matter of purchasing a site for
the new detention home. That is to
say 1t was the first punishment openly
administered, but the lesson that must
be given to him began last week, when
it was published that certain things
were happening at the county hospital
concerning which the superintendent,
DR.. c. H. Whitman, knew nothing, but
which should have come to his notice.
Dr. Whitman is an appointee of Su-
pervisor Pridham, and one method of
administering punishment to the latter
for his failure to support Dingle, the
organization pick for horticultural
commissioner, will be. it is claimed. to
discredit the superintendent's admins
tration at the hospital, which may go
so far even as to cause his removal.
In regard to the purchase of site
Pridham, chairman of the detention
home committee, recommended last
week that the offer of site on Mis-
sion road be accepted, and he was
turned down. three to two, Manning
voting with him.
Yesterday man who had onered a
site at College and Yale streets APP
peored before the board and asked for
immediate consideration of his offer,
stating the option was about to run
out. Supervisor Pridham suggested a
delay of twenty-four hours until Judge
Wilbur could be heard.
This delay was granted, but not be-
fore an evidence of the ill feeling en-
gendered by the horticultural commits
sion affair was brought out
You were not so anxious to have
the matter deferred last week when
the Mission road site was being con-
sidered," remarked Supervisor McCabe.
Pridham Immediately took umbrage
at the suggestion he was interested in
the purchase of the Mission road site
for other than the best of reasons.
Politics do not play any part in this
matter" he said, with some emphasis.
1.-THE interests of the children should
be considered, and those only"
The detention home matter probably
will be taken up by the board today.

SAN FRANCISCO
AT FEVER HEAT
OVER ELECTION
CITY KEYED TO HIGH PITCH
AWAITING RESULTS
TRIANGULAR MAYoRALTY FIGHT
PROVES STRENUOUS
Campaign Involving District Attorney
ship Ends In Spectacular Last
Struggle and Round of
Mass Meetings

& AN FRANCISCO, Nov. lon the
eve of its first municipal election
~ under the new direct primary Jaw,
San Francisco Is keyed to a high pitch
of expectancy awaiting the outcome of
tomorrows battle at the polls. The
three rivals in the triangular mayor
atty fight finished the campaign to-
night, each with a strenuous round of
mass meetings and street gatherings.
The automobiles bearing the parties
of respective candidates were every
where in evidence on the streets to-
night, flying from one part of the city
to another at speed which infringed
on municipal regulations.
The struggle is of such a complicated
nature, the issues so involved and
scratched and blots certain to be so
numerous that voting machines will not
be used, and the result cannot be
known for many hours after the polls
close.
Elaborate preparations for rapid
counting have been made, but this will
not obviate the delay.
Heading the Republican hosts is
William Crocker, the party's nominee
for mayor; DR.. 7. w. b. Leland, Cor
three terms coroner of the city and
county, has been placed before the
people for that office by the Democrats
and the independence ana GOOD Gov
ernment leagues, while p. II. Mccarthy
leads the Union Labor ticket.
For District Attorney
Second in Importance is the contest
for the office of district attorney.
Charles M. Fickert is the direct
nominee of the Republican and Union
Labor parties. while Francis ]. Heney,
present assistant district attorney, is
officially indorsed by the Democrats,
the Heney league, the Good Govern
ment league and the Independence
league.
There was no truce tonight in the eX-
change of personalities between the
candidates, and the campaign up to its
last moment was waged with the bit
terness that has marked 1t from the
start.
Each candidate dwelt In his last
speeches upon his certainty of success
at the polls, and their managers were
equally ready With estimates giving
their respective nominees large ma
jorities.
Every municipal office is TO be filed
at this election, but the fight has been
waged over the mayor and district at
torney, nominees for the lesser offices
receiving but a small share of public
attention.

BOOKKEEPER UNABLE TO KEEP
RAPID PACE STARTED
Arthur Schickl Brought Back from
New York to Answer to
Charge of Stealing

That his young and beautiful wife
was the cause of his downfall was the
statement made by Arthur Schlckl,
former bookkeeper of the Newmark
Grain company who was brought
back from New York last night by
Sheriff w. A. Hammel and lodged in
the county Jail, charged with embez-
zling $4,000.
Although the youthful prisoner would
make no direct statement as to his
stealing the money from his former
employers, It is declared by the sheriff
that he has confessed and has ad-
mitted that his meager salary was not
sufficient to keep his wife in the style
which she longed for. and that he sys-
tematically robbed the Newmark Grain
company until his peculations amount-
ed to $5000
october schickI did not appear as
usual for work at the Newmark Grain
company, 119 North Broadway When
several days had elapsed and the book
keeper did not appear, investigation
showed that the books did not balance
and that the concern was at a financial
loss of $4,000.

II is alleged that Schickl stole the
money by a systematic falsifyng OF
accounts. and that when the annual
stock taking of his firm was to be
made. he feared detection, and, making
final haul. left Los Angeles in com
pany with his wife and went TO New
York.
The prisoner was a trusted employe
of the Newmark company for two
years, and shortly after entering the
employ of the concern he was intro
duced to the woman who became his
wife. She was II years old at the time.
and. in company with Schickl, was
conspicuous at the swell cafes in Los
Angeles and a frequent visitor to the
race track at Arcadia.
Her beauty and stylish clothes at

and that she desired to live in the
height of fashion is the reason said to
be given by Schickl for his being a
prisoner charged with embezzlement,
Schiekl admitted that his salary was
but 900 a month, which was not ade-
