Cleveland. o.. Nov 2,-Tom l..
Johnson. for four terms mayor of
Cleveland, was defeated today for II
fifth term by Herman c. Bachr. re-
publican county recorder. Unofficial
returns from about half the city in
dicate that Baehr's plurality is at least
four thousand and may run to six
thousand.
Johnson early conceded his defeat

the bulk of the democratic ticket.
those counoilmcn who have been CON
gpicuous in their support of his street
railway program suffering most.
Herman Baehr. the first republican
to be elected mayor of Cleveland in
ten years, declared that his election
was due to dissatisfaction of the peo-
pie with methods of handling the city
business.
The mayor in discussing his defeat
announced that he will be candidate
for mayor two years hence. Rumors
that he would remove TO New York
were denied by his friends, but John
son did not comment on them.
The election of Baehr is believed to
mean certain settlement of the long
street railway war which Johnson be-
gan eight years ago when he de-
manded a three-ccnt fare Baehr has
pledged himself to Il settlement on
the basis of a six per cent return In
the stock of the Cleveland Railway
company, all earnings over that to go
to the reduction of fare and the i'm
prOVement of the service The com
pany has accepted these terms and
Mayor Johnson has tentatively done
so, rcserving the right to fight the
settlement at a referendum election
The acceptance by the voters of the
proposed sevcnty-flve- year franchise
for subway system was indicated by
the early returns
His defeat today Is Johns0s's fifth
Fin a year at popular elections. He

endum on October % last year, fol-
lowing his six months control Of the

FAMOUS MUCK RAkER.
MEETS DEFEAT AT POLLS
Union Labor Ticket Headed by
P. H. Mccarthy Thumphs
Over Both Republican and
Democratic Parties.

| fBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wirel
San Francisco, Nov. AFTER three
years of a reform government which
| followed the sensational bribery graft
disclosures in the Ruef-Schmitz union
labor administration in 1906-7, re-
| turns from today's municipal election
up to midnight indicate that the city
has again chosen union labor ad-
mnistration by the election OF p. H..
Mccarthy for mayor and Charles NJ.
Fickert for district attorney.
Opponsed to Fickert was Francis j.
Heney, who attained national fame as
government prosecutor in the famous
land fraud cases in the northwest, and
who for three years has conducted the
dramatic bribery graft prosecutions
here which have become history. Mir.
Heneys defeat is apparently decisive,
the vote for him running behind
either that of w. III. Crocker, the re-
publican candidate for mayor, or of
Or. T. w. b. Leland, the democratic
candidate.
While many issues of local import
ance entered into the campaign. the
continuance of the graft prosecutions
was the dominant one. Mr.. Heney
went before the people frankly on
this one issue appealing for vindica-
tion by election of his course in the
trials growing out of the exposures of
municipal corruption. Mr. Fickert
asserts that he will prosecute only
such of these cases as after investi-
CATION, he is convinced can be car
ried to a successful result"
7. IL. Mccarthy was fought bitterly
by regular republicans and democrats
and charged with accepting and seek
ing the support of the tenderloin ele-
ment.
The opposition to him rallied
around his own statement from the
stump that ii he were elected he
woL.d MAKE san Francisco "thc parts
OF America" This declaration was
seized upon by his opponents as mean
ing that he would stand for Il return
to the wide open town" This Nc
Carthy has stoutly denied
In the campaign he has vigorously
attacked Heney, stigmatizng him as
a political faker.'

| Il rejoice in common with all good

his election to the people OF New York

Ceptance.'

nor's reply when he was greeted as
Mr. Mayor" He refused to comment
on the result. Mr.. Barnard sent n
message congratulating the mayor
elect.
In statement later to one of the
two newspapers in Manhattan which
supported him, Mr.. Gaynor said. in
commenting on other newspapers:
They garbled. falsified and even
forged most OF what I said The re-
suit was that | had to make speeches
day and night in order to get "a heap-
ing l hope such an outrage will

gent and honorable city again. | have
gone through much, but never any
thing equal TO this unfairness and

don't go here"
He supported Bryan in his first
campaign and Hearst for governor in
1906. His pressing of the charges
against Police Commissioner Bingham
growing out of the Duffy case, involv-
ing the right of the police to hold the
picture of an unconvicted person in
the Rogues' gallery, led directly to the
removal of General Bingham and
brought Gaynor into renewed public
attention just before the fall cam
paign opened.
In his speech of acceptance Gaynor
said:

CALLS IN PASSES GIVEN
ELECTED CITY OFFICIALS
Los AngeIes-Pacific Will Issue Trans
portation Good Within Limits
Of Municipality

Acting on the request of the Los An
geles- Pacific Railway company, the
elected city officials yesterday returned
the annual card passes they have held
over the lines operated by this COM
pany The railway has called in these
passes in conformity with the Wright
law, which prohibits interurban lines
from granting passes outside of the
city limits. The railway will issue
passes to the city officials good in the
city limits.
The Los Angeles-Pacific is the only
railway which has made this demand.
Passes issued by other railway compa-
MES to the city officials have the words
mot good outside the city limits"
printed on them in plain type.
But inside the city limits city Of
ficials have a right to free transporta-
ton on street railways. The franchises
under which the railways operate con-
tain a clause that makes it compulsory
to grant free transportation on these
lines. Elective officials have all been
given card passes. although not all of
them use the privilege. notably the city
attorney, who always pays his fare
even in the city limits and when travel
ing over the lines on official business.
But members of the commissions and
others connected with the city admin
istration who are entitled to free trans
portation have their passes in the form
of ticket books. These have not been
called in.

STREET LAW COMPLEXITIES
SIDEWALK BUILDING BIDS
Contractors Hesitate to Submit Esti-
mates for Vrooman Act Con-
struction Work

Because of the new street law passed
by the legislature that takes sidewalks
out of general Vrooman act proceedings.
contractors are chary of submitting
bids for Vrooman act work. This new
law goes into operation today, and in
order that future embarrassment may
be saved the board of public works the
city's legal department will at once
bring suit to test the validity of the
new law.
Under the old provisions of the Vroo-
man act, street improvements included
sidewalks and the cost of the improve
ment could be assessed among the
property owners in a district. BY this
plan property owner block or more
away who was benefited by the paving
or other improvement could also be
made to pay a portion of the cost of
the sidewalk. The new law contem-
plates that a sidewalk is a purely local
improvement and gives the city power
to lay the walk and assess the cost
against the frontage and without fore
ing outside property to pay a share.

HEALTH BOARD TO KEEP
CLOSE WATCH ON PACKERS
Reinstated Inspector Given Orders to
Immediately Report lnestima-
BILE Condition

On the suggestion of the board of
health, adopted at an executive meet
ing of that body last night, Mayor
Alexander instructed John Nelson, chief
inspector of meat and slaughtering
houses, that when he found conditions
wrong at any of the packing plants
to Immediately report the matter to
the board of health.
This was the last action in the
Southwestern Packing company's case
Two weeks ago the board visited the
Southwestern Packing plant and found
no inspector ION the job" Conditions
were not sanitary, and when the board
returned to the health Office and found
that John Flammer was the inspector
assigned to this plant, Flammer was
suspended on the spot.
Flammer was examined by the board
last Wednesday night and it developed
that Nelson had detained him at the
health office to discuss conditions at
the Southwestern Packing company. AS
the chief inspector was held RESPONSE
BILE for the deputy's late arrival at the
packing plant Flammer was exonerated
and returned to work.

Municipal Affairs
SAYS PERMIT WAS
GRANTED LEGALLY
CITY ATTORNEY DISPoSES OF
DISPUTED CASE
Holds That License Assigned by Maier
Brewing Company to A. C.
Pitcher Was Validity
Given to Him

Because the matter of a transfer
does not enter into the case, City At
torney Hewitt has ruled, in a commune
cation sent to the police commission
yesterday, that the license recently
held by S. p. Clark mas been validity
given to A. c. Pitcher.
The license originally granted to
Clark was held by the Maier Brewing
company The brewery advanced Clark
money to start in the saloon business
and took an assignment of the license
from him. This assignment was in the
nature of a blank transfer of license,
such as was used by all police commits
sions until the city attorney ruled re-
Gently that licenses could not be trans
ferred.
When Clark failed in business the
brewery filled out the blank transfer
and assigned it to A. c. Pitcher, receiv-
ing $4,000 for the license alone. Clark
did not consent to this transfer at the
time it was made, but had in effect
done so several years before when ne
signed the blank transfer. When the
city attorney rendered his decision two
weeks ago that licenses could not be
transferred Clark asked the police COM
mission to return him the license on the
ground that it had been illegally
granted to Pitcher, according to the
city attorneys decision.
In his report yesterday Mr.. Hewitt
said that the police commission had
legally granted the license to Pitcher
and that the words transferred from
S. P. Clark'' made no difference. They
were simply superfluous and had no
effect on the permit.
