Biggest Feature of the Eilers
Consolidation Sale This
Week
A Sale of Player Pianos That Will Be Talked
About From One End of the State
to the Other

Our consolidation of forty stores into
one organization under Que manage
ment has been discussed in every mu-
sical center in the country and it is
conceded that such an organization Of
fers wonderful possibilities for selling
Pianos and Player Pianos hitherto
never attempted.
With the chain of forty stores, all
now for the first time under a single
office management, the Eilers Music
Company constitutes the largest retail
Piano Company in the United States.
The advantages growing from such a
position enable it to give to every
Piano buyer value and service that no
smaller organization could even at
tempt.
While our plans are being worked
out for the amalgamation of these in
terests. we are going to sell one-third
of all of our California stock We know
full well what this means, and we know
that drastic measures will have to be
resorted to to effect such a tremendous
reduction in the number of Pianos in
our stock.
Last week we made first mention of
this Consolidation Sale. The response
on the part of the Piano buying public
was revelation to US. We neglected,
however, to say something about the
splendid Player Pianos we are ready to
dispose of. No house in San Francisco
has larger lot of used Player Pianos
than we are exhibiting today The

TRAFFIC in GIRLS
Suffrage Club Discusses White
Slave Trade and Will Aid
the Police

''The White Slave Traffic in San
Francisco and What Can Be Done
About IT. was the subject discussed at
the special meeting called yesterday by
the Votes for Women club in their
rooms in Sutter street. The meeting
was called to order by Miss Selma Sol
onions, who put to the women present
the question, What are the cIubwomen
going to do to aid the authorities?"
One of the three workers in the Trav-
elers' aid of the Young Womens Chris
tian association told of their work
standing at the gateways of the city to
look after the girls, especially those OF
foreign birth, who are constantly ar
riving. Her suggestion was for home
for the working girl and home near
the ferry to house those arriving on
late trains
The feasibility of approaching the
mayor with a petition to appoint a
competent woman as a city official was
also discussed and the necessity of es-
tablishing women as an auxiliary to
the police force.
The discussion will come up again
before the club members and some def
mite stand will be taken to aid in polio
ing and saving strangers in the city
and girls of foreign or country birth
from falling victims.

CRUSADE AGAINST
crime IS BEGUN
Captain Harry O'Day Says That
He Will Clean Out His Dis
trict Without Delay

Since Captain Harry O'Day took COM
mand Of the central district last Fri
day he has detailed two men, Samuel
Orr and James Hayden, to patrol the
district in search of bunko haunts and
poolrOoms. AS a result four raids on
poolrooms We're made yesterday after
noon on information telephoned to the
station by Orr and Hayden. Captain
O'Day and Sergeant W. NJ. Ross accom-
panied the wagon to each of the re-
sorts and assisted IN the raids.
The poolrooms raided were those of
Tim Hurley. 339 Bush street, where
Hurley and six visitors were arrested;
John Celia, 13S Taylor street, where
Celia and 10 visitors were arrested;
Sam Brown, 1870 Stockton street, where
Brown and four visitors We're arrested
and Joe Friedman, "a Ellis street
where Friedman and three visitors
were arrested. They were all released
on bail
Captain O'Day says that he will clean
out every bUnkoman, poolseller and
out every bunkoman, pool seller and
of fallen women from his district even
if he has TO tackle the job himself.
The work will be carried on vigorously
till he is satisfied that it is thoroughly
completed.
It was rumored around police head
quarters yesterday that Mayor Nc
Carthy had stated to several members
Of the grand jury that the city would
be cleared of crooks of all descriptions
within the next 10 days, or he would
know the reason why and place the

Among the Player Pianos that will
be closed out this week ace beautiful
$1.050 Knabe Angelus Pianos. orig
inally sold at ST. 05O. for which we will
now accept $3.50. Another one in beau
tiful Mahogany case at $500. When it's
considered that the Pianos alone are
sold for more money than we offer the
entire combination piano for. it is easy
to see how long these Pianos are going
to remain on our floors. a splendid
$3.50 style Schubert Player now goes for
S43S. A Smith & Barnes at $400. A
Bailey Player Piano sold new for $3.50,
now $3.50. A kingsbury Inner Player,
which regularly brings $500. now $685..
A Pianiste $4S2. An Auto Grand $4S5-
These are but few of the many Player
Pianos now available.
Remember that each one of these in
struments will be put in perfect play
ing condition. and we will guarantee
their running.

BRYAN COMMENTS ON
APPOINTMENT OF HUGHES
Friend of Trusts and Sympa-
thiZes With Corporations

LINCOLN. Neb-, April 25.-W. J
Bryan commented tonight on the an
pointment Of Governor Hughes as asso
oiate justice of the supreme court a
follows:
The appointment of Governor
Hughes to the supreme bench viii
regarded by many as a popular
appointment. He has been put for
ward as a refOrmer and seems to be
considered one by a great many
people. but his reputation as a re-
. former rests upon a few official acts
which show him opposed to graft
ing and to the individual vices, but
. no one who VIII examine his record
can doubt that he is in close SYM
pathy with exploiting corporations.
IT will be remembered that he
vetoed the bill for the reduction of
raflrOad rates after a New York
legislature-and a republican leg
islature at that-had passed the
reduction bill
he is understood to be a close
nersOnal friend of Rockefeller, and
the published report shows that the
trust magnates have contributed
literally to his campaign funds. In
1908 he was the chief defender of
the action of the republican party
on the trust question
II will be remembered, also, that
he was the first official to oppose
the income tax and his opposition
came after Rockefeller had an
amendment.
The corporation attorneys who
fled an argument against the in
come tax with the Albany legisla-
ture presented the same argument
Covernor Hughes did and these
corporation attorneys, with Gov
ernor Hughes powerful AID, barely
sncceeded in preventing the ratifl-
cation OF the amendment by the
state of New York. What would
he do on the supreme bench II any
1Hesfion arose affecting the income
Governor Hughes exemplifies the
Individual virtues and naturally
5enands honesty in the public
eerZ-ice but he is a shining illus
ration of that peculiar type of citi
zen developed in this country dur
ing the present generatlon-th
citizen who personally opposes vice
md is a punisher of small crimes,
but shows no indignation at the
larger forms Of legalized robbery
