P. H. Mccarthy Wins by Ma
iority Of Not Less than
Ten Thousand Votes.
Frisco Open.
.HENEY is DOWNED
VOTE ALSO SHOWS THAT THE
BAY CITY is AS TIRED OF
HENEY AND sPRECKELs AS
1T is OF OTHER CLASSES
OF GRAFTERs.

San Francisco, Nov. S.-With th5
count proceeding slowly today it is
estimated that P. H. Mccarthy,
Union Labor nominee, was elected
mayor yesterday by a plurality OF
between 1000 and 5000, and that
the majority Of Charles NJ. Fickert
over Francis ]. Heney, for district
attorney, is more than 10000.
1t is believed the board of super
visors will stand as follows: Union
Labor 10, Republicans 5, Democrats
8.
At noon today less than half the
ocfiiial count had been completed.
There is no doubt, however, that the
city will have a Union Labor admin
istration, as the supervisors un.
doubtedly will be in accord with the
Union Labor mayor.
Mccarthy, himself. is credited
with having had the main voice In
naming the Union Labor nominees
for supervisors, and, with this board
behind him, he will be in a position
to carry his policies into effect.
San Francisco, by the election. de-
clared itself in favor of change
of administration throughout. and
the new regime will start with
free hand.
Mccarthy declared today that by
the return to Union Labor adminis-
tration, San Francisco has given him
the opportunity of vindicaung the
name of organized labor, under
which Mayor Schmitz and Abe Ruef
conducted their ill-famed regime.
In a statement to the public, he
said, in part;
San Francisco shall have a busi-
ness administration along legiti-
mate, liberal lines, which shall in
sure to the benefit of all the people.
The Advancement of the interests OF
ner business men and the holders OF
real property shall be the guiding
influence. This condition correspond
ingly makes for the material benefit
of the resident wage earners in all
departments of labor. While string
snt and unreasonable ordinances
shall be reasonably construed or
amended, as the exigencies OF the
case may require, and freedom of
action within reasonable bounds
shall obtain the moral aspect of our
city shall be better than IL is today.
I'VE are a pleasure loving people,
4 San Francisco has always borne
the reputation of being pleasure
loving city. shall endeavor to pro-
mote this status ana the city's repu-
tation along lines which will meet
with the approval of the people.
Il am pleased to look back upon
the campaign with the thought that,
while it has been most bitterly
fought have endeavored TO con-
duct my part in dignified and de-
cent manner, and have strictly ad-
hered 10 the truth in all statements
made. To my adyersaries / extend
the hand of fellowship.
ITO the people of San Francisco
who have expressed their unbounded
confidence in me, extend my deep
est and most heartfelt thanks.
shall do all within my power to vim
dicate the name OF organized labor.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, May 13-At
the second days session of the Ma
tional Grain Growers and Cattle Rails
ers' association here today plan to

in-producing territory for the pur-
pose of holding wheat for high prices

At the invitation of the American So

to cooperate with that organization.
Theodore G. Nelson, national organ
izer for the equity society, addressed
the meeting, saying:
1.-THE object sought by the members
of the grain growers department TINS
wear is much the same as the purpose
for which this convention has been
called by the Farmers union. BY col

society will sell their grain TO the
millers and export product will be sold
direct to the English and Scottish
wholesale cooperative societies OF
Great Britain. In this way we Will

JAPANESE TO FIGHT
RATES TO AMERICA
War on Charges for Transpaeific
Freight and Passengers Predict
ed Because of Establish
ment of Steamer Line

VICTORIA, B. c., May 13.-That a
rate war probibly will result between
the two Japanese transpacific lines fol-
lowing the establishment next month
of the Osaka Shosen Kaisha service in
conjunction with the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railroad is the news
received in today's mail from Japan.
The Ashai Shimbun of Toxic in an
extended article regarding the new
steamship line system says the expec-
tation is that a war over rates will be
commenced and the Nippon Yusen Kali
sha will be expected to fight injurious
competition on its North American line
to Victoria and Seattle at the hands of
the Osaka Shoshu Kaisha.
The Osaka Shosen Kaisha has just
borrowed a million dollars on the Sc
curity of the new steamers through
the agency of Messrs. Sale, Fraser &
Co. of Yokohama and will have five
new steamers in service by next jan
uary, and will draw subsidies amount
ing to 100000 annually from the Jap
anese government.
The Ashai Shimbun says the Osaka
firm will not be a member of the Pa
cific conference and will be able to
compete in the matter of rates.

we're studying their lessons under an

he took the boys to the station. The

covered to emanate from a trunk
which had lain ten days unclaimed in
the baggage room. Satisfied the trunk
contained a body, he called the police.
AFTER a collection of old hats, shoes
and souvenirs had been removed, a
side of bacon was found to be the cause
of the thrill.

cific tracks which cut the Gillespie
section, which will. make it possible
for macadam material and masonry to
be unloaded at almost any point along
the road and thus entirely obviate
hauling by men or animals.
The road will be built along the most
scientific lines, it is claimed, the best
ideas of the experts of the country on
general road building having been in
corporated in the plans already out
lined. The roadway when completed
will be of a uniform width of forty
feet, including the gutter lines along
either side.
Along the exact center of the pro-
posed roadway, for distance of six
teen feet, a deep macadam will be laid,
this portion, it being figured, being
subject to the hardest usage. Through
this portion there will be six separate
applications of rock, all steam rolled,
together with three applications of oil.
The road has already been used for
over a hundred years, it is estimated;
first as a trail and later as highway,
and its foundation is nothing short of
ideal. With the macadam installed it
is believed that the road will prove to
be one of the finest in the entire coun-
try. 1t is the intention to follow out
this same general scheme of macadam-
contracts for which will doubtless be
let in the very near future.
Abutting this center of macadam on
either side, for a space of seven feet
will be strip of hard roadway built
up to take the increased usage to
which it will be put by passing We
hicles. Abutting this strip, in turn,
will be five-foot CUTTERS built UP to
carry away the waters that drain
the roadway.
The road included in the Gillespie
contract, under the terms of the award,
must be entirely completed by August
IS, and before this date has arrived it
is expected that work all along the line
will be we'll on it's way toward COM
pletion. At no time, it is promised,
will traffic along the road be inter-
rupted, one side of the roadway being
left open while the opposite side is I'M
dergoing transformation.
The advisory board, appointed to
take general supervision over the en-
tire good roads expenditures, is said to
be advocating the construction of the
road by the county, thus doing away
with the further letting of contracts.

very first day we gave him the Cooper

His bowels were thoroughly

play and show signs of life and health.
We gave him the New Discovery about
ten weeks, by which time he was en-
tirely recovered. He is now three
years old and weighs forty pounds, or,
in other words, he gained nineteen

STAMPED OUT GOLD
ENOUGH AT SHOW TO
PAY FOR ADMISSION

CANANEA, Mex, May 1S.-According
to assayers and others of a mathemat-
zeal turn of mind, the atmosphere in the
building used here Monday night as a
theater was worth nearly ten thousand
dollars.
A travelling italian opera company
was billed for performance and an old
ore house, the largest building in town,
was filled up for the show.
Before the performance was over the
stamping of feet by the people in the
audience had set the gold dust flying
from the cracks and crevices of the old
ore house. The gOld-laden dust was so
thick IL made people sneeze.
Assayers estimated that people attend
ing the performance could have washed
enough gold from their clothing after
the dust settled to pay the cost of their
tickets.

Travelled though now badly neglected
highway
At z o'clock yesterday morning, in the
presence of a score of workmen, the
first plow drawn by six numbering
Jacks" was hauled up alongside OF
the roadway Immediately opposite the
Five Mile house, and the actual work
of road construction was begun with
out any ostentation, the point of at
tack being a good-sized hill to the west
of the present road which projects it
self far into the area which will be
converted into a macadamized boule
ward. This hill, as well as a number of
others, will be entirely scraped away
