why he should not be punished for con
tempt of court for having applied for dis
tribution to him of a legacy left by Miss
Mary Margaret Isabella Murphy to her
brother. Captain Samuel Bertram Joseph
Finnistone O'Neill Murphy. Captain Mur

secured an order restraining • Daniel T.
Murphy from petitioning for the distribu
tion to him, as assignee, of Captain Mur

was not obeyed. Daniel T. Murphy has
hence been cited for contempt, but in all
probability the filing of a bond by Daniel
T. Murphy to cover the amount of the
alimony judgment held by Mrs. Nora

To-Day's News Letter.
In the seventh place we would direct your
attention to the fact that these men have re
fused Bteadlly to consult with any one con
cerning the present conditions of labor. The
whole city ¦ Is affected by the struggle. Rep
resentatives of various interests have tried to
get the Employers' Association to a confer
ence. They have all been repulsed. .The great
employers of the East, men/ who could buy
out all the merchants of San Francisco and
not feel the expense, are not too proud to meet
and consult with those who are trying to end
a great strike. The executive committee, of
In the sixth place we .would direct your at
tention, to the fact that the Employers' Asso
ciation.' having, set the' town, on fire, is now
beseeching to stop the conflagration. You are
business men. What would you -think of a
company of business men who,- being engaged
in a transaction ' of the fire-t Importance, never
met to Impart counsel, , to receive reports, to
devise means to meet new conditions? •• It is
a fact, and one of the saddest facts we can
conceive, that the Employers' Association, that
has taken on itself the responsibility of de
stroying the trade of San Francisco, ¦ has never
yet held a meeting. A few men. and these by
no means distinguished for ability, for fore
sight, for prudence or for honor, have begun
this war and have carried It on without- once
deigning to consult those whose agents they
are supposed to be.
In the fourth place we would direct your at
tention to the fact that the Employers' Asso
ciation is a secret society. Its members are
ashamed to let the world know that they belong
to it. Tou are merchants and you know that
when a business man engages In a transaction
of which he is ashamed such transaction must
be despicable indeed. The Employers' Associa
tion belongs to the category of those aggrega
tions of village ruffians who in out of the -way
places come at midnight with masks on their
faces and weapons in their hands to terrify,'
to mutilate, to torture helpless men and feeble
women who have Incurred their displeasure, j
In the fifth place we would direct your at
tention to the fact that the Employers' Asso
ciation was organized for the purpose of ..car
rying out a scheme the responsibility for which
none of them has the courage to shoulder.
That ncheme is the destruction of trade unions.
We do not Intend to Insult your Intelligence
by proving the necessity of trade unionism.
Suffice it to say that "the . constitution and
laws authorize it"; the spirit of the country
claims It; the - prosperity of the people,
the very life of the nation, requires it.
Whatever the other Interests 'at stake that of
the right of popular association and combina
tion outranks them all, and this must be sus
tained even if those are to be sacrificed. Trades
unions must exist. This is the verdict of our
country. Against this verdict the Employers'
Association sets Itself up. You are men of
common sense and you can judge of the en
lightenment, the wisdom, the patriotism of the
Kmployers* Association, which, like an in
fatuated calf, stands between the rails facing
ths oncoming express train and thinks to stop
the progress of civilization by the Impact of
its bullet head.
In the third place we would direct your at
tention to the fact that the draymen were
forced to break their contract with us at the
bidding of an outside third party. Without any
provocation, without any justification, the Em
ployers' Association ordered the draymen to
violate the agreement between them and us,
which had worked so well. The draymen re
fused at first because they wished to conduct
their own business without outside interference,
and because they were perfectly satisfied with
our mutual relations. The Employers' Asso
ciation thereupon threatened to boycott our em
ployers and to ruin their business, and under
the stress of this threat the draymen violated
their contract with us by ordering us to per
form work which that contract expressly for
bade. WTien we refused we were locked out.
To the Members of the Merchants' Associa
tion—Gentlemen: The board of directors of
your association has seen fit to address. a man
ifesto to you on.the condition of labor in San
Francisco. What were the precise circum
stances that moved them to that weighty act,
we do not know: but it is well understood that
you are not all satisfied with the management
of your association by its present regents and
a strong sense of opportunities neglected has
caused your board of directors to prefer this
account of Its stewardship. You -will pardon
us we hope, if we direct your attention to a
few fundamental facts which the daily devel
opments in this struggle are apt to obscure.
In the first place, we ; would direct your at
tention to the tact that the present condition
of labor' in San Francisco Is not a mere strike.
It has not been caused by the workingmen. It
is a lockout; it was caused by the employers.
Therefore if there be a disturbance of business,
if the lines of trade are falling from your
helpless hands, we are not the cause. The in
dictment cf injury to you and to our city lies
not acainst us but against vthose who without
any provocation whatsoever xrom us brought
on this struggle. ' .
In the second place we would direct your at
tention to the fact that there are three parties
in this struggle. It is not a contention between
the employers and the employed. If ¦ we had
differed with, our employers or if our" employ
ers had differed with us, then public opinion
might apportion the blame. But there was ab
t>olutely no difference between the draymen and
the teamsters. An agreement existed between
them and us satisfactory to both sides. They
were willing to stand by their covenant, we
were willing to stand by ours. We had work
and they had business. There was not even a
ehadow of a cloud to disturb our good rela
tions.

The Board of Health tools charge yester
day of the wife and two children of Ray
mond Ones, one of the Porto 'Rican
laborers who recently came within the
injurious influence of yellow journalism
and who, after having served as an object
of crocodile sympathy, was left to shift

Ftrange land. Ortc-s is at present an in

His wife and children accompanied him
to that institution, but. not being in need
of medical attention, could not be ad
mitted. They were sent to the Central
Emergency Hospital. Mayor Phelan
visited them there and after hearing their
story requeFted the Board of Health to
look after them for the present. The
Mayor suggested that the woman and
children be turned over to the Examiner,
as it was by that sheet's interference that
they were Induced to stop at this piace

Honolulu, where work and a home
awaited them.
Stranded Porto Rican.
the Employers' Association of San Francisco
is too wise to need any man's counsel.
In the eighth place we would direct your at
tention to the fact that the Employers' Asso
ciation will not permit the draymen to deal
With us.
In any war, no matter how weak, no matter
how savage the antagonists may ba, a confer
ence is never denied. In this war alone we
ar* considered so utterly despicable that those
who are lighting us will not condescend to
treat with us. Again and again we have
Fought, again and again it has been denied.
We have gone as far as honor would permit
or prudence-advise to end this strike. That
It is not ended is the fault of the Employers'
Association, just as it Is the crime of that
association that it was ever fcegun. . >
These facts, gentlemen, we most respectfully
lay before you.- We do not wish to trespass
too much on your patience at one time. - At a
later day*, however, we shall.- lay before you
certain deductions from these facts and practi
cal applications . of the same which we feel
sure will be to vouri interests and prosperity.

ers as they ware leaving a restaurant on
Mission street, near^Third, John and
Charles were beaten so badly about the
head that they visited the Receiving Hos

came here recently, from Missouri, claim
that the strikers robbed them of a watch
and a small amount of imoriey.
James Haney, a young man from Hum
boldt County, was the next visitor to the
hospital. He alleges that union teamsters,
after holding him all day in their head
quarters as a prisoner, led him to the foot
of Fourth street last evening and beat
him over the head with revolvers. Haney
has not been working at anything since
he arrived in the city. He says he was
sitting on a lumber pile reading a paper
when he was approached by several
teamsters. They told him to go along
with .them or they would kill him. After
keeping him at their headquarters all day
they led him to the Fourth-street bridge,
telling him they were going to ship him
on the steamer North Fork. Instead of
so doing they administered a severe beat
ing to him.
J. M. Steinbraker, a recent arrival from
Sacramento, who is residing at 509 Jones
street, was attacked by a number of men,

wounds. He had taken a job in John
Bapp & Sons' teer bottling ' works. His
injuries were attended to at the hospital

unconscious. His nose was broken and
his other features rendered unrecogniz-?

Judges Sear Strike Cases.
The preliminary examination of John
Tuite, a striking longshoreman, on the
charge of robbery was commenced before
Judge Fritz yesterday. The complaining
witness, Fred G. Wehr, one of Curtln's
special officers, testified to having been
Induced last Saturday to visit the, long
shoremen's headquarters on Berry street
and there the' defendant and others rob
bed him of his revolver, watch and money
and kicked him downstairs. V. D. Hum
phreys, another special officer, testified
that he was asked to go to the longshore
men's headquarters the same day to get
a drink., When he got there the defend
ant came at him with a revolver in his
hand and he drew his own revolver, and
backed out of the place to safety. Later

second open letter, holds" that President
Wheeler's reply was: not 'to the point and
it asks for plain answers »to its' questions.
The; letter closes as follows:
Reply to President Wheeler.
After you have cleared the streets and kept
them clear you will make a report to me of
such saloons ns are used as headquarters for
the strikers. You have eight-hour watches, and
if you cannot obey the orders that are given
to you, which you are bound to do by your
oath of office, then it will be more manly for
jou to get out of tho -service altogether.-. ; v
I have seen officers standing on tho corners
in the midst of a crowd of strikers talking very
familiarly to them,- and 1 cannot understand
how an officer in the proper discharge of his
duties can do this, alter establishing a friend
ship with the violators of the law.
This must ¦ not be permitted,- and whenever
any number * congregato in that way on the
public thoroughfare they must be dispersed.
Complaints have been made to me, and I have
verlned , them by . personal ; observation, that
large -crowds' of strikers are permitted to con
gregate on the streets south of Market, partic
ularly on-Xhlrd.and Fourth streets and in front
oi t-aloons" •which at times they make their
headquarters., - " l

DISCLAIMS ALLEGED SPEECH.
i Ex-Assistant District Altorney Hosmer
and P. F. Dunne, I who represent Witt
man, served Judge Cabaniss with the
temporary restraining order late In the
afternoon. ¦ . . *
Wittman • further asks the court to r«
strain Judge Cabaniss absolutely from
proceeding further^ in the matter of the
battery charge against- him. Upon the
filing of Wittman's petition a temporary
restraining order was issued. Judge Sea
well will hear the case on the 10th inst.. ¦
Captain of Police George W. Wittman
has petitioned the Superior Court for a
writ of prohibition to restrain' Police
Judge George H. Cabaniss from proceed
ing with the trial of the petitioner on the
charge of battery preferred against, him
by James Masse. Wittman, whose -trial
is- set for the 13th inst., takes exception
to the jury now being summoned for the
trial by Sheriff Lackmann. He contends
that Judge Cabaniss has no jurisdiction
to order the Sheriff to summon a Jury
and that such a jury would be illegal.
Secretary Lorenzo's course is not meet
ing with the approval of the members of
the Conciliation Committee, from whicn
he gets his authority. Joseph Rothschild,
chairman of the "committee, said, yester
day:
-The actions of Lorenzo in the past few
days have greatly offended the members
cf the committee. He drew up a basis of
settlement between the teamsters and
draymen without consulting the commit
tee and presented it to the parties at in
terest without the slightest authority.
The committee decided to put a period to
his cenduct, and his connection with the
ccn:mlttee is likely to be quite short
lived. . We do not desire the public to un
derstand that there was friction in our
committee and consequently made no pro
test against Lorenzo's conduct. But the
matter has reached that stage when
suirrrary action on the part of the com
mUtee was imperative. Any negotiations
for peace between the employers and
strikers which are now under way, and
in this committee is interested, will
be concluded by the committee as a body
and not by Mr. Lorenzo."
Mi. Rothschild stated further that sev
eral important matters bearing upon the
strike are under consideration and that
the prospects for an early settlement of
the dispute grow brighter every day.
Meanwhile Messrs. Michael and Renner
for the employers and Messrs. Casey and
Furuseth for the strikers assert that the
situation has not changed and no ground
exists for hope of early settlement.
The executive committee of the Dray
men's Association held two meetings, at
which terms of peace alleged to have been
proposed by the committee of one hun
dred of the Municipal Federation of Im
provement Clubs were considered, and an
other meeting for the same purpose will
be held at 11 o'clock this morning. The
terms involve the unconditional return of
the strikers to work, but a recognition of
the Brotherhood of Teamsters in matters
affecting hours and wages is conceded by
the employers. Messrs. Lorenzo and
Greensfelder are hopeful that the Dray
men's Association will approve the terms,
in which case the proposal will" be sub
mitted to the Brotherhood of Teamsters.
The union's approval of the terms is re
garded as a foregone conclusion.
LITTLE of Importance developed
yesterday In tho strike situation,
although rumors remained cur
rent that the prospects of settle
ment were brightening. The Su
pervisors' Conciliation Committee secured
no conference with an Employers' Asso
ciation committee, and the draymen and
teamsters are apparently no nearer agree
ment.

SAN, JOSE, Sept. 6.— The. attempted as
sassination of President McKinley put a
temporary damper on the enthusiasm
over the Native Sons' celebration this aft
ernoon 1 and for a . time ¦ it was feared It
would have,, to be '.abandoned. . This even
ing the general committee of the celebra
tion held a meeting to consider the ques^
tibri. 'The ' committees in San Francisco,
Oakland,' Alameda, Santa Cruz and.else
where were communicated ¦with and the
general expression was that President
McKInley's condition was so favorable
that It did. not. warrant any change In the
Admission day plans. This was the opin
ion of the local committee also.

Special .Dispatch to The Call.
Recalling Persinger's warning, the offi
cers set out in pursuit of Fleming. He
was captured near Missoula. On the trial
the circumstantial evidence showed thai
Fleming had concealed himself in another
room of the Dotson house and, through a
hole in the partition, had fired the fiial
shot.
Early in January of this year Fleming
was released from prison. On February
15 he was foen at Washington Gulch. On
February 20 the dead body of Captain
poteen was found in his cabjn witli a
bullet wound in his head.
The crime for which Fleming suffered
the death penalty is one of the most re
markable In the history cf criminology,
involving a most revolting and diabolical
conspiracy. On August 8, 1S!>9. Eugene
Cullinane. an aged resident of Washing
ton Oulch. a remote settlement In Powell
county, was found murdered. For this
crime Clinton Dotson, Charles Oliver Ben
son and Ellis Persinger were tried aud
convicted. Dorson was sentenced to life
imprisonment and Benson, who made a
partial confession, and Persinger were
sentenced to ten years.
Last January Persinger Informed War
den Conley of the State prison that Dot
son and a. convict passing under tho
assumed name of James McArthur, but
whose real name was James Fleming, had
conspired to bring about the death of
Captain Oliver Dotson. Clinton Dotson's
father, an old man living in Washington
Guich also. The plot was that Fleming,
whose term was soon to expire, was to go
to Washington Gulch, kill Captain Dot
son, leave a forged confession and will
and arrange the surroundings in such a
way as to lead to the theory of suicide.
So wild vas this plot that the prison
oflicials paid no attention to it.
McArthur kept his nerve to the last anrt
walked to the sallows"Vithout a sign of
weakness. After taking his place on the
;>Iatform he was given permission to make
a statement. Facing <ne spectators, he
launched Into a torrent of abuse of the
men who had been instrumental in send
:ng him to his death and declared again
and again that he was an Innocent man.
He rambled 'on for several minutes an<l
finally the Sheriff, seeing there was no
chance to stop him. gave the signal for
the trap to be sprung. The drop fell at
10:16, and McArthur was pronounced dead
seven minutes later.

terms will be submitted to the teamsters for their approval. ¦ .
No other event occurred that points to an early settlement of the strike, and the leaders of each
side say that the persistent rumors of agreement are as unfounded as they were. Thursday. . . .

CAUSE OF FALLING HAIR.
Kill the Germ.
Dandruff, Which Is a Germ Disease.
Falling hair is caused by dandruff, which
Is a germ disease. The germ in burrow-
ing in to the root of the hair, where It de-
stroys the vitality of the hair, causing- the
hair to fall out, .digs up the cuticle In lit-
tle' scales, called dandruff or scurf. Tou
can't stop the falling hair without curing
the dandruff, arid you can't cure'the dan-
druff without killing the dandruff germ.
"Destroy the cause, you remove the ef-
