Especial Dispotch 10 The Call
DANyILLE, ILL.,. Nov. 9.--Sihce the
returns from Tuesdays election have
been known, Speaker Cannon has per-
sistently refused to make statement
or give out any expression of his
may~-lave something to give out at a
later date.
You may say he said, in response
to a query Of the correspondent, that
when l have fully dissected the re-
turns OF Tuesdays election. l may
have something to say. but until then
I must decline to be interviewed
FRIENDS SHOW CONFIDENCE
Being pressed further, Cannon ad-
mitted that he was particularly graft
fed with the result in his own dis
trict, which has faithfully stood by
him under all conditions for the last s5
years, intimating that so far as he was
personally concerned he was satisfied
with the confidence shown by his
friends at home, who have known him
SO long. Especially was this so at
this time, when he considered the fight
that had been made upon him outside
of his district and by persons not
directly interested in the outcome.
on the OIner 0dHd N4ii0 (SnuoH 10
saying nothing regarding the results
of yesterdays elections. his friends are
al the outcome in New York. Several
of his closest friends and stanchest sup
porters gathered at the newspaper Of
fees last night and applauded the
loudest when the news was flashed
that Herbert Parsons had been de-
feated. When it was definitely known
that Stimson had been caught in the
landslide in New York there was much
manifestation of joy.
FOR MINORITY LEADER
There is considerable talk of boom
ing Cannon for the leadership of the
minority in the next house, but in an
swer to a direct question, Cannon. at
this time, refuses to say definitely that
he would consent to this ndypositively
declined to state what his plans for
the future might be.
THE landslide speaks for itself,
have nothing to add to my statement
concerning my own attitude, which
made Tuesday night" said Speaker
Cannon. Concerning causes and ef-
fects l am not prepared to say any
thing as yet We are all up in the
air as to exact conditions throughout
the country. / wish TO get at these
conditions before discussing the situa-
ton"

Facilities for 100000 Tons of
Shipping Annually

The plans for the balance of the
work required for the enlargement of
the harbor and the improvement of the
port facilities at Genoa have recently
been submitted to the superior council
of public works at Rome, says Consul
General James A. Smith of Genoa. The
plans and estimates of this project
were prepared by the municipal en-
gfneer's office at Genoa and have been
approved by the superior council. The
estimated cost is to be 33,00o,000 lire
(s6,369, ,00o). When this final work OF
Improvement, commenced in 1901, is
completed, the harbor will have facili-
ties for accommodating fully 10000, 900
tons of shipping annually, and the cost
of the work from the beginning will
have been 45.000,000 lire ($s.6s5, 1000.

BAR TENDER PLAYS
DUAL ROLE IN COURT
Plaintiff in One Case Called as
Defendant in Another

j. Mordin, bar tender in a saloon
at Howard and Sixth streets, appeared
in a dual role before Police Judge Shor-
tall yesterday morning, when after be-
ing a complainant to a charge Of pass
ing counterfeit money, he became the
defendant to a charge of selling liquor
on election day.
Mordin had Frank Koshi arrested for
passing a counterfeit $40 bill on him
which the latter said he had won in
a poker game, and then he furnished
a surprise to the court by responding
to the call of his name to answer with
Frank o. Johansen for selling liquor

BARS FACE ALL
BETTORS Who BET
Police Will Tolerate No POOL
rooms in This City When
Emeryville Opens

A cold wave swept sporting circles
yesterday when Chief of Police Sey-
mour announced that poolroems and
betting places would not be tolerated
in San Francisco during the Emeryville
racing season. which opens next Satur-
day. The frown of official dfspleasure
has also fallen on all the undesirable
followers of the racing game, and
rigid instructions have been issued to
all patrolmen to exercise more than
usual vigilance and round up suspi-
cious characters.
Chief Seymour's opposition to bet
ting on sure thing" propositions was
further emphasized by q sweeping order
that the time honored turkey raff1es
of the holidays must be stopped. The
ban has been elapped on tight and all
commanders instructed to be
on the lookout for saloons or other
establishments that offer to supply the
Thanksgiving dinner table with a bird
through the chance method.
ROASTS TURKEY SCHEME
Turkey rafles came in for prema-
ture roasting at the hands of the chief
of police. He said they were simply
betting schemes, in which the chances
of the citizen winning were very small.
Besides they were a means of drawing
persons into saloons, so that before
the bird was finally won or carried
home the winner had spent a sum
largely in excess of the actual price of
turkey.
With reference to the influx of racing
hangerson who would come to this
city with the opening of the races
Saturday Chief Seymour was emphatic
that all persons seen lettering in the
streets at an unusual hour who could
Let, fhajr 10
should be locked up
BETTER NOT BET
He said he had heard that poolrooms
were already getting ready TO do busi-
ness, but that he would not have any
pool playing on this side Of the bay.
All company commanders will be held
responsible for infractions of this or
der. Chief Seymour has taken stand
souarely athwRrt the poolroom pro-
moters and declares he will prosecute
severely all violations of the order.
Another order was that which pro-
hibits the sweeping of carpets on the
sidewalks or the sweeping of side
walks without regard to passersby. The
police are instructed to see that rub
bish is not deposited on sidewalks and
that owners of property or the occu-
pant must keep the frontage cleaned.
UNDEsIRABLEs UNDESIRABLE
The order reads in part:
The racing season will open on
Saturday. November IL, 1910, and
it is reported to me that pool
rooms for the purpose Of taking
bets on the races will attempt to
open throughout the city.
I want 1t distinctly understood
that this must not occur, and the
captains in their respective dis
tricts will be held strictly account
able if any such places are per-
mitted to exist.
AS the winter season is now
here and IL is presumed that, as
usual, an undesirable crowd will
flock to this city. committing dep
relations of all kinds, you will
therefore instruct the officers of
your respective commands to pay
particular attention TO strangers
found on the streets at late and
unusual hours of the night and
see that all suspicious characters
are Investigated.
JOHN T. SEYMOUR,
Chief of Police.

To Fruit Growers.

Since the fruit growing fever has be
come prevalent i'll this part of the state
it is deemed important to publish a
few words OF warning to those starting
in BUSINESS without experience.
We can think OF no other industry
in which one may engage wherein bis
mistakes will prove SO disastrous as
in the growing Of commercial Or
chara and this is true because they are
often not discovered until the trees ar
rive at bearing age and after severa
years time and large sums of mon ey
have been spent, or rather lost, upon
them. Those who have succeeded In
making fortunes by growing fruit COM
InercIally have done so by the exer.
else Of such care and judgemen as
bring success in other lines of business.
They have been careful in the selection
I OF soil, location, altitude exposure, va
rieties oftrees and hands to work the a
and have also given the most judicious
cultivation. 1t can readily be seen that
one who has not had the ex peri ence
will fail in this work more surely than
he would in a banki & or manufacture
| ing business. Those who read Of the
thousands made by some orehardst ina
a single year some times get the i'm
preston that all that is necessary is to
get trees of any kind, of land and let
them fight their own way through.
There Is no surer road to failure. This
isnet written for 1.-THE purpose of dis
couraging any one from raising fruit :.
1t can be done successfully but those
who wish TO go into it should first of
all secure the services of SEINE reliable
party familiar with the work, even
though his services may appear ex-
pensive. Time will prove that his
salary has been money well spent.
Where 1t is impossible to getan ex-
perienced orehardist (and they are
very hard ia find unemployed the
new plauter should have,one to locate
his orchard, sseleot varieties and give
the orchard occasional inspection. -

ticle:
"'Wbat would the American Ro-

war on the United 5tates?' 10 a ques-
tor that has many times been asked
in Augusta as well as in other parts Of

Monaghan, Thursday night, in Aug

ant ten days ago where we would be
in case the pope should invade our
shores, either at the head of bis own

arm of Lincoln in all the long wears of

thy successor of Archbishop Chappelle
would stapd behind Taft as his prede-
cessor stood behind Mckinley in the
Spanish war. Nay, more. Let danger
come, let revolution raise its flag, the
,erpents of discomfort come forth TO
tear the flag of our fathers from the
stats, the cardinal, archbishops, blsh-
ops, priests in cathedrals, in humble
hillside ehapels, will burn or melt
down the sacred vessels and sell the
jewels and sacred vestments if neces-
sary to save the republic, to perpetuate
1t, to keep it. That flag is our flag. Its
colors are Catholic colors. If you see a
nurse in Rome bearing babe and both
hands decorated with red ribbons, you
know that the child is boy dedicated
to ST. Joseph, whose colors are red. If
the colors' are blue, the child is a girl
dedicated to our blessed Lady, whose
colors are blue. The papel flag is white
Christ's Gag is white, the flag of peace,
the flag Of truce, the only flag that
ever floats above the red, white and
blue is The white flag of Christ. These
