The San Francisco call., 1910-11-04
The Blundering Examiner
Makes Bell a Joke
7 TEARST'S Examiner with an air of fatuous triumph
prints the following passage describing Theodore
Bells purported answer to The Calls questions as

Bells puTpOrted answer to The Calls questions
delivered in this city on Wednesday night
publicity given those questions
charges they would be valuable space
them. Dealing with them briefly possible, Bell
question you supported by Patrick
Calhoun replied that he didn't Calhoun personally
know him the street. and knew nothing of him
his intentions.
just So they have never been introduced They have
not met Besides Mr. Calhoun is not in San Francisco
All this appears to the Examiner constitute conclusive
proof that Calhoun is not supporting Bell The reasoning
faculty the Examiner calls to mind the remark of
local banker concerning another of the fraternity Oh
yes, he admitted, Charley is good fellow but he
carries too much meat on4is head
Calhoun is in Ohio, so Bell says who ought to know,
and consequently as Bell and Hearst reason opelessly
out of touch with San Francisco affairs This business
running itself like headIess horseman There neither
telegraph mail delivery in Sandusky O., wherever
Calhoun may happen be for the purposes of Bell argu
ment reinforced by the Examiner la de da
Such, then was the means and method again quoting
the ridiculous Examiner by which Theodore Bell stood
upon the rosrm in Dreamand rink and scattered to the
four winds heaven the whisperngs of an eleventh hour
attack upon his fair name.n
Apart from the funny business of the laundering
Examiner does Mr.. Bell really believe that he has
answered the question? We would not hold him respon
sbe for the stupdtes of Mr. Hearst but he appears to
be persuaded that he is playing with children when he asks
the people of California to believe that he is not supported
because moreover the street railway is not in San
Francisco at the present moment. Mr. Bell asks people
TO believe that matters of politics can be arranged only
p pink tea.
The patent absurdities Of Mr.. Bells argument have
their serious well their ridiculous side His lame
and shung reply brings cut in high relief the fact that
he is supported by all the influences for which Mr. Calhoun
stands and of which he is the most aggressive
tive in this city, although he may be absent in person.
There others Call the roll:
William F. Herrn sojourning in Europe
William B Bourn, on his way home from Europe.
Patrick Calhoun, in Sandusky somewhere n Ohio.
By Mr. Bells reasoning of these could possibly
be active in the present campaign They absent and
have lost their influence because they can't back
1t is, in fact difficult to treat Mr. Bell seriously and
the grotesque hautn of the Examiner chiefly serves to
bring out In strong relief the absurdty of his position
Mr. Bell may thank the Examiner for making him joke
of be mhl

OF course, Mr.. Bell knows better, but he
appears to believe that it will pay him to
persist IN his endeavor to fool his audiences

new EXPLOSIVE
is GIVEN TRIAL
(contined From First Page.)


Mr.. Ishams explosive is composed
of uinety-two parts nitro-glycerine
seven parts guncotton and one part
rnarble-dust. 1t forms gelattaous
substance. He claims that 1t is Tar
more powerful and more destructive
than the present form of explosive.
The naval experts who were present
to-day claimed, however, in spite OF
the damage done, that a modarn r.
inch shell would have done more harm.
They pointed to the tests on the
Florida a few years ago as proof.
Furthermore, 1t was pointed out that
the Puritan is an old vessel: that her
armor plate Is not as strong as that
Of a modern battleship: that there
was no locking. and that both tests
were made against perpendicular sur
faces, with no slant.
Just as the call was sent to the
Norfolk navy yard for place for
the Puritan to dry-dock. the ar1nored
cruiser Washington, which dropped
into the Roads yesterday after a voy'
age all the way from San Francisco
was about to start for Norfolk to dry
dock. The wounded vessel plobaol!
will be given the preference.
