As one walks along the business portion of Broadway and comes up to a bunch of men, in animated con versation, the thought of pol!bcal discussion immediately comes into ones mind, only to be dispelled when the familiar face of Dr. Keller is recognized as the center of attract ion.
 His many friends are anxious to express their pleasure at his return to health, and his chosen home. Much pleasuTable surprise is mani fest at the fact that he is again in perfect health as is shown by his robust appearance.
 While talking of the pleasure of the latter part of his stay in the Sunny South. he delights in com pairing the weather in Skagway and Alaska as indicated by the reports sent to him from here, to that of Los AT Teles, and says that We sure ly will see the time when Alaska will become a winter resort as well as a place for tourists to come in summer to get away from the eX- ceSSive heat of the States.
 During his stay in Seattle, Dr. Keller attended the Dental Clinics of the King County Dental Society held in the Cobb Building and was the guest of the Society at their annual banquet held Saturday night March 90.
 He shows his usual enthusiasm over the work in his profession, and states that he is glad to be again at work. and attending the many patients who have been awaiting his return.

GAYNOR AFTER WAITER
Condemns Men Who Are ''MisIeaders''
of Strikers.

New York, June 13-Mayor Gaynor
has written to Secretary Blochlinger of
the International Hotel Walters
union, condemning the attempt on the
part of the striking hotel walters and
sympathizers to interfere with the din
ner to the German officers at the Wal
dorf-Astoria on Monday night. The
letter was in response to one from Mr..
Blochlinger, protesting against the ac-
ton of the police in making wholesale
arrests of walters Monday night. The
mayors letter follows:
Dear Sir: Your letter of June II,
complaining of the police, is at hand.
I shall investigate the matter very
carefully. Your rights must not be
interfered with. I am informed that
the arrests were made for breaches of
the peace. The mayor was giving
dinner to the officers of the German
squadron. which came here by invita-
ton of the mayor. You, sir, and
couple of your associates who profess
to be leaders of the strike did all you
could for several days to break up
that dinner by preventing walters from
serving it. That was not the work of
honora BILE men, but of mean, low men.
The mayor had every right to expect
in all decency that the hotel workers
union would come forward and offer
the mayor walters enough to serve the
dinner in place of permitting their So
called leaders to try to prevent it. I
do not believe that you are the leaders
leaders. L think the members of your
organization are too honorable to try
to do such a dishonorable thing. The
men of the union should stand up for
their own interests and rights, but
they should scorn to do a mean thing,
such as you, sir, tried your best to do
Such meanness is certain to defeat
even a just cause
Notwithstanding your meanness to
the mayor and through him to the
wh>le city, he will see that the police

BURGLARS new PLAN
Burn Away TumbIers Instead o
Blowing Safe.

New York, June 13.-A new gang
of safe burglars has begun operations
in this city, according to the police,
who are apprehensive of the next ex-
ample of the burglars skill. So far
this gang. whose entirely new method
of opening a safe has persuaded the
police that they are not of the old
time safe robbers, has committed only
one robbery.
This occurred some time Sunday
night or Monday morning in a tail
oring establishment in East Houston
street, but the police kept it secret
up to this time.
Instead of blowing open the safe,
the thieves burned away the tumblers
with electricity, cutting through them
as Clearly as though the work had
been done with a spiral saw.
The burglars got away with only
$500 in cash and jewelry worth
$500 but marks on a larger safe in
which were $4,000 and $4,000 worth
of jewelry, showed that the thieves
had been at work on this when APP
parently they were frightened away.
