fwth them I would have been insulted.
But / love that old flag now"

army ever surrendered to anything but
another American army, and declared

SOUTH but all are one great 9people.

He Thinks Twice
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


HILLsBoRoUGH. Sept. 1S-Spurred
on by the thought of a salary of $500
a year awarded to him at special
meeting og the town trustees of Hills
borough Saturday night and mentally
enforced by the prospect of command
ing.sa mounted police force. Gerald
Conens, marshal of this aristocratic
community, made third heroic en-
deavor to land prisoner in his wis
taria covered jail today. and for a
third time failed. The prison de luxe
still awaits its first inmate
The trustees felt that a jail-wistaria
covered at that-without prisoners was
like Hamlet With Hamlet left out.
Therefore a special meeting was called
and the marshal given a salary of $500
a year. No comment was made, but
there was an implied hope that he
prineely emoluments would spur him
to activities. Also, the first steps were
taken for mounted police force to
patrol the streets. 1t was brought to
mind hat twice before Marshal Conens
had tried to break the hoodoo of the
luxurious Jail and in each instance the
dignity of the town of HiIlsborough
was sat on by the offenders. The
prisoners would not go to jail Like
wise they called Conens names Conens,
who in private life is superintendent
of the Clark estate thought them ex-
ceedingly i'll mannered-but the Jail
remained empty.
The first man he tried to arrest was
an inebriated ostler, the second
soused Scotch gardener and yesterday
came his third chance when Edward
Frazier. chef for the employees on the
Clark estate. started celebrating his
birthday and refused to cook Aslo
he said evil things to those hungry
ones who criticised him. With the
thought of the salary and the mounted
police force Marshal Conens marched
into the fray.
Politely he told Frazier he was un-
der arrest, whereat the cook hurled
soft boiled potato at him. Conens for
got his manners With hOarse cry
of anger he sailed in and them in the
midst of flying pots, pans and kettles,
the employees were given an oppor-
tunity of viewing as gorgeous a fight
as could be seen in a days march.
When the dust settled the cook lay on
the floor with a black eye, a torn lip
and a dislocated shoulder. Conens
was unhurt. Here was his chance to
bag his first prisoner. He stood over
him flushed with the lust of victory,
but the sight of the others helpless
condition unnerved him. He turned
away. murmuring something about il
all being in the family any how. The
prison de luxe remained empty

I lionaire steel magnate and
former head of the steel trust,
arrived in San Francisco yesterday
morning, Today he will meet
Prince Tsai Hsun, uncle of the en-
peror of China and minister of the
Chinese navy. Tomorrow he and the
prince will board a special fast train
for the east.
Schwab glibly denied the rumor that
he and the prince were to confer upon
the letting of contracts for the con-
struction of a Chinese navy we will
talk no business on the trip at all"
said he This is to be a journey for
pleasure The prince and the naval Of
fcials, who are with him, will be my
guests on tour of the navy yards and
shipbuilding plants of the east. I may
accompany him back to the coast and
see him off on his return trip to
China"
Incidentally the prince and his
retinue will be entertained by Schwab
at his Washington home for two or
three days.
Three Officials Here
1t did not seem to Schwab to be
an unusual proceeding for busy steel
magnate to take two of his vice preSi-
dents and spend a month monopoliz-
ing the time of Chinese prince, upon
whose recommendation depends the
action of the Chinese government in
letting contracts for a new navy
Schwab, who is president of the
Bethlehem Steel company. one of the
largest steel plants in the country and
owner of the Union Iron works in
this city, is accompanied to San Fran
cisco by Archibald Johnston, first vice
president and H. S. Snyder, second
vice president

bled by the attentions Of any other
steel king during his presence in this
country. Schwab will show him all that
is to be shown. including the plant OF

Schwab processes to know nothing
of a Chinese navy. but the report con-
tinues well defined that the builder OF
war vessels has an understanding with
the Chinese government. and that II
was due TO this understanding that he

claims he may have upon hts right to
