CIVIC GROWTH OF
5. +. IS GREATEST
SchIesinger Says This City
Leads All Others of Nation
in Development

San Franciscos civic development
is greater than that of any other city
of the country, according to B. F..
Schlesinger, manager of the En-
porium and chairman of the retail
trade committee of the Chamber of
Commerce
An interesting talk was made by
Mr.. Schlesinger on conditions in the
east at luncheon yesterday of the
retail trade committee.
San Francisco does not have to
take Off her hat to any other city in
the world so far as civic development
is concerned" said Schlesinger. Il
have just returned from a six weeks
trip to the larger cities of the east,
and take pleasure in reporting to you
that we are doing as much for our
merchants, If not more, than any
other cities are doing for theirs.
Il met many prominent labor lead
ers while away, and am convinced
all employers and employees will get
together in conference and fight out
their differences before taking them
to the Legislature for radical action
A committee was appointed at the
meeting to request the police COM
mission to frame a regulation, as in
New Orleans and other cities, compel
ling cartmen and moving van owners
to register with the police the name
of every person making a change of
residence.

HEAVY VOTE
POI[|..E:[) |. BY
WOMEN
Fair Sex Rush to Polls Despite
Threatening Weather
Aspect

In the face of the heavy rain storm
that broke over the city before Z
o'clock this morning and increased to
pelting downpour an hour later, the
women voters Of San Francisco came
out in full force to cast their ballots
in today's municipal election. Regis
trar Zemansky stated two hours after
the polls opened this morning that
the women voters promised to save
the day and keep the total vote near
the 10000 mark predicted by him yes
terday.
Eight supervisors police Judge
and tax collector will be chosen, and
according TO Registrar Zemansky the
women viii play a bigger part than
usual in the selection of those officials.
MORE VOTING, LESS SHOPPING
There will be more voting and less
shopping on the part of the women
today" said Zemansky. The rain
will keep the ladies away from the
stores downtown because of the trou-
bic of taking the cars and tramping
t---NAN t--N 80 NSSS IA Tic ol0lA bAt
with orr great number of booths and
their convenient locations, the women
viii find little difficulty in slipping
out Of the house to the nearby polling
place and casting their ballots. which
IS simple affair in this election, and
contains but 20 names, 10 of which
must be stamped
Reports thus far show that the
women are showing more than ordi-
nary interest in the election, but
also feel confident that this mornings
rain will not deter the majority of the
men from voting. especially as this is
local election and the interests are
more or less personal"
EARLY RETURNS EXPECTED
Because of the short ballots and the
facilities for counting the votes, it is
expected that returns giving a fairly
definite idea of the final results should
be checked up shortly after 10 o'clock
tonight but nothing certain will be
known until 1880. Twenty-one adding
machines have been installed in the
registration Office. one for each can
didate and the extra machine for use
in ascertaining the total vote cast.
For each machine an operator and a
reader of figures has been assigned,
assuring the utmost dispatch in the
counting. The polls opened at o'clock
this morning and will not close until
tonight

evidence.
When court convened Judge Dunno
asked Prosecutor Berry If he had
anything TO add to Fickert's written
motion. Berry said that he could en-
large upon the application TO dismiss
if the court so desired. whereupon
Judge Dunno said: The district at
torney has made up his mind not to
try these cases. Am I to understand
that. Mr., Berry,
NO. your honor" answered Berry.
IF you order US to try these cases,
