COOK'S REMOVAL
CONSIDERED BY
MAYOR ELECT
Interests Which Aided in Mc-
Carthy's Election After the
Scalp of Police Chief
Captain John Martin's Appoint
ment as Successor Declared
• to Be Plan
Regardless of Mayor elect P. H. Mc-
Carthy's telegraphic denials. It may be
positively asserted that the removal of
Chief of Police Cook and the appoint
ment of Captain John Martin, retired,
in his stead has been considered. .It
may also safely be assumed that short
ly after McCarthy assumes the reins of
government the work of clearing away
the legal barriers to Cooks removal
and Martin's appointment will be taken
up. ::"'.- ; ;
That the' removal of Cook and the
appointment of Martin has been under
consideration is evidenced by the fact
that interests which contributed hand
somely to the election of McCarthy are
for Martin now as they have been for
five .or six years. The only material
difference in their situation is that
they stand now a better chance of
landing their man.
The proponents of Cook's removal
and Martin's appointment realize that
their task would become of more than
average difficulty if Cook decided to
make a fight for his rights. They rely
somewhat, however, on the theory that
if it is put up to him in the right
way Cook will resign, go back to his
sergeantcy and the prospect of speedy
retirement.
COOK IS IN DECIDED
Cook himself has not decided what
he will do. rie said last night that he
had paid more than passing attention
to the discussion of his probable rele
gation, but that, he had decided not to
map out a policy until the matter was
put up to him. If when it is put up
to him he decides to fight, his decision
may result in forcing a more rapid re
organization of the board of commis
sioners than may be contemplated now
by the mayor elect.
The charter provides that the chief
shall be appointed for a term of four
years. In the case of the chief of po
lice, as in that of any other member of
the department, the charter provisions
touching removal were framed meas
urably to protect the policemen from
political vengeance or partisan expe
diency.
The chief can be removed only as
the result of written charges and after
conviction had at an open trial. The
affirmative votes of two of the four
members of the board would not sus
tain a motion for conviction. -\u25a0•
The result of the Dinan trial Indi
cates that with a fair trial it is not
easy to convict an indifferent or bad
officer. Cook is neither indifferent nor
bod. His is a splendid record, but the
interests which seek his scalp have no
fear of getting him with a reorganized
board. The establishment of charges
of dereliction of duty may depend very
largely upon the friendly or unfriendly
attitude of the board. It has been dem
onstrated repeatedly that it is com
paratively a simple matter to jincover
infractions of the law which Have es
caped the eye of the chief of police.
COVERED UP GAMBLING
There is always more or less covered
up gambling or vice, which can be un
covered for the purpose of serving the
ends of the interested parties, but
\u25a0which are conducted in a manner to
evade the watchfulness of the police.
For instance, while it is generally ad
mitted that Chief Cook has done more
than any one man in San Francisco to
break up Chinatown gambling, none
pretends to believe that there is no
more underground gambling In China
town. Mar Len Geet could furnish
evidence if need be, and no harm would
come to his Chinese exhibits either.
The politicians have passed on two
rumored appointments in a manner
which, co far as the politicians are
concerned, makes those appointments
as good as certainties. The first is the
appointment of Jack Williams to the
sheriff's attorneyship unde r Sheriff
elect Tom Finn. . Williams was one of
the machine republicans who conducted
Finn's fight north of Market street.
The other rumor gives Edward F.
Moran the berth of attorney for Au
ditor elect Thomas F. Boyle. Moran
and 3oyle have long been friends.- both
in and out of politics. Moran was
prominently identified with Francis J.
Sullivan's quest for the union labor
nomination for mayor early in the pil
grimage. He severed his relations
with the Sullivan campaign, though,
before the supreme court made it pos
sible for Sullivan to get on the primary
ballot-

Associated Charities Taken
to Beach in Machines
"It's always fair weather when good
fellows get together" might have been
the slogan of the wards of the chil
dren's agency of the Associated Chari
ties who turned out yesterday morning
to take their automobile trip to the
beach and back.
The excursion was postponed from
Monday on account of the inclement
weather, and it was announced that it
would be given yesterday if it did not
rain. Although it did rain there was
not a deluge — so every one concerned
was anxious to make the trip.
Automobiles turned up at a surpris
ing rate and foster parents brought
about 200 children who weve piled into
the big machines and whirled in a long
tooting, honking procession through the
park, along the beach, down to the
ferry and back to the Associated Char
ities building in Jackson street.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Fred Linz
the motors were lent by their owners
to give the boys and girls of the agency
a happy day. Mrs. Robert Montgomery
gave gallons of certified milk, baking
firms provided scores of cakes and
candies were supplied without limit.
The management^ the Cliff house laid
the feast in the restaurant on the ter
race, presenting gay little Japanese
fans and parasols to add to the Por
tola horns and pompons given the chil
dren before starting.
Only a brief halt was made for re
freshments, however, for the children
were anxious to begin their "Joy ride"
again. On the return the 25 machines
went down Market-street to the ferry
returning via Sutter street to the start
ing point. . ...

ALL INVITED TO

General Invitation Issued for
Banquet to Party of Com

The widespread attention attracted
by the visit of the Japanese commer
cial commission has induced "the cham
ber of commerce to make the gala
banquet at the St. Francis hotel, No
vember 29, a, civic function of the first
magnitude. Most of the entertainment
provided for.. the visitors ; will'-;bring
them in contact with the.' commercial
community, so it . was decided that the
ba-nquet be made of more general scope.
The visitors include the leading busi
nessmen and financiers of the / empire
and several- leaders in Japanese state
affairs.
At ,no time has a single party of
foreigners come to San Francisco on an
errand of such far reaching importance.
A program 'expressive of the generous
hospitality of San Francisco has been
prepared. It will include automobile
rides, garden parties and receptions.
The banquet has been arranged as the
climax of the Series of festivities
that has attended the delegation
during their tour throughout the coun
try. , The general invitation to the
banquet was issued last night. It,fol

"In view of the widespread desire to
see the leading men of "Japan and to
cultivate 'pleasant relations with the
Japanese^ leaders of commerce and
trade, the chamber of commerce of
San Francisco has determined to afford
all public spirited' citizens, an oppor
tunity to attend the banquet at the
St. Francis hotel, whether they are
members of the chamber. of commerce
or. not. Those who desire to:. attend
the banquet should communicate im

SAN FRANCISCO TO
HAVE A NEW ZOO
ChuteS Management Secures
Menagerie of City of Vie»
toria for Exhibition
San Francisco is ,once more to have
a zoo.
Since the time when the management
of the old Chutes disbanded its me
nagerie, selling its inhabitants to the
various circuses throughout the coun
try, the city has been without such an
institution. But now comes the an
nouncement that theanimals are again
to march into town, "two by two," and
young. San Francisco be given daily
opportunity to feed peanuts to the ele
phants or watch; with wide eyed atten
tion' the, ceaseless maneuvers of ' the
lion, theUiger.and the leopard.
The zoological gardens will be v lo
cated .at the New: Chutes. The man
agers of .the Fiilmore street park have
purchased the entire zoo of the city
of Victoria, British Columbia. A tele
gram consummating the purchase was
received yesterday. , Frank Hall, -the
English animal trainer, and Steve
Lawrence, keeper of the old Chutes
menagerie; left for the north last night
to bring the animals to this city. A
schooner will be '.chartered out of Vic

COWBOY'S STATE
SUBJECT OF CLASH
Jumbled ,-Mass" of Testimony In
troduced to Prove Former;
5 Police Captain Sober
Witnesses Testify That Lagan's
Slayer Was Normal at
Time of Shooting
• -Adopting the unusual course of call
ing witnesses •in • behalf of a defendant
to ! a murder charge on preliminary
hearing before a magistrate, the.attor
neys \u25a0 for former Police : Captain Michael
Joseph 'Conboy,' accused of the murder
of Bernard y Lagan,' submitted- a portion
of "their defense before Police Judge
Weller I yesterday. \ The case was not_
concluded^ however,; and will be con^"
tinued 'this -afternoon. : r
i'( : lt* -was ' evident from the testimony
brought . out yesterday ' that . the' defense
is \u25a0} attempting two 'things. ; First, an
effort , is being made ' to prove \u25a0 that Con<:
boy was not: drunk,: but sober, on the
night of the Lagan shooting, and, sec
ondly, a decided attempt is being
made to discredit 'the : prosecution's
principal witnesses and show that an
attempt was made | by. Lagan . and j his
companion \to - rob Captain 'Conboy, or
at least that Conboy believed such was
their object.
DIFFERENT VERSIONS GIVEN"
A dozen witnesses were called yes
terday • antl : the- result was " a badly
jumbled; mass .of 'contradictory testi
mony,' out of \u25a0, which' practically the only
fact that stands unchallenged is that
it was.iConboy who shot Lagan. Near
ly every witness, had a version of the
affair which .differed in at least one or
two from the testimony of
any other witness. The contradic
tions'- ran from the state- of Captain
Conboy's sobriety and - the sequence of
events- immediately, preceeding the
shooting to'; the question of the number
of shots that were fired.
. The assertions of several witnesses
previously examined were that Conboy
was very drunk on the night, of the
shooting.: But, according to those who
were with him during the evening he
had nothing to drink except one high
ball early in the evening, one pint of
beer about 10:30; o'clock, ' and a mere
sip of champagne some time later. To
this was added the testimony of several
policemen : who: saw him j after the
shooting that he \u25a0 was sober, at that
time, but cross examination developed
more contradictions everywhere.
TOOK LITTLE LIQUOR
The number and variety of drinks
taken by Conboy .during the evening
was testified to by Mrs. Louisa M. Muir
head, who- was with him until .about
10:30 o'clock on the night of the shoot
ing,' and by Proprietor Adolph Becker
and Walter, Philip Eller of the Odeon
csife. where he spent, the greater part
of the evening. According to Eller
and S Becker, Conboy had nothing .to
drink between 10:30, o'clock and 1
o'clock in the morning except a sip of
champagne from .a pint bottle- which
was divided among four glasses.
' Becker \u25a0 further declared that prior to
the -shooting Conboy. uttered at least a
half dozen commands to Lagan to stand
back, beginning when the latter was
more "thanN 3o feet -away from him.
Several others declared thare was only
one such I command. Eller, the. waiter,
said that while in the, Odeon Conboy
"wasjfeeling r pretty. good and was '.In
a jolly, way,'.' and that he invited him
to "have a drink, old boy," and gave
him his card, but that he "was not a
bit drunk.". <
J. H.< Shaw, .proprietor of the j Coni
gress \u25a0'.-: hotel, at } Ellis and Fiilmore
streets, x testified that he ; had heard a
quarrel, going on -while he was "in bed
in a room immediately above where the
shooting occurred. The quarrel con
tinued 1 for at least three' or four min
utes, he said, before there.was a threat
to "shoot; Then : he jumped but of bed
in time to- hear three shots. ; . He ex
plained that there might have been but
two shots, ! but he was almost sure
therei.were three. He also heard Con
iboy say, "He tried to beat. me and rob
me, and I shot him."
SAYS CONBOY WAS SOBER.
; ,R. .A. Strothers. a United Railroads
inspector, met Conboy, a few. minutes
before- the shooting and : saw nothing
wrong with him. Harry. Leaven worth,
a cigar clerk, was in his room in the
Congress hotel at : the time of the
shooting and watched the trouble from,
his window. He said that after Con
boy had called Lagan a thief and pick
pocket the Uatters started to: return to
ward! the lamppost where Conboy was
standing, 'demanding .to know who
Conboy . referred * to. Conboy answered
that he meant; the other; fellow, and
Lagan^said he didn't care who he meant
and was j going to,, punch his head any
way. 'Then Conboy uttered the single
command to '.'Stand back or, I'll shoot,"
andflred almost simultaneously. j ,
H.H.'Blumberg,; clerk .in the cigar
stand: at -the southeast- corner of Ellis
and I Fiilmore : streets, was absolutely
sure that .three shots were' flred instead
of but' two. .' . ' -.
PfALfred B. Galindo, a hack driver, told
of: taking Conboy and the two police
men'accompanying him. to the central
emergency hospital after the 'shooting,
and; said' hei noticed nothing , wrong
about the defendant. '
WILL THE ARTIST
FINISH PORTRAIT
..... \- \u25a0..:..\u25a0.' ' . \u25a0 \u25a0
In Studio of Keith There Stands
a- Painting of E. H. Harri
man Incomplete
Art .Circles Curious as to What
Will Be^the Ultimate Fate
of the Canvas
' What will become of the portrait of
the late E. H. Harriman begun by Wil
liam Keith shortly before the great
financier's death and still In an unfin
ished condition?
Will it be disinterred from among
Keith's uncompleted canvases?
Will it be taken from the shelf and
worked up from memory?
Or will it be dragged into the light of
day and given a decent burial?
These .are. a few of the questions
which are agitating the local art world,
questions to which Keith himself can
give, no definite answer.
When approached on the subject yes
terday '.he was. noncommittal. "I
haven't made lip my. mind what to do
with it," he said. "I suppose I shall
have to do something some day, and I
might just as" well finish it, but I can
not say definitely. It is here half done
on my hands. What I shall eventually
do about it I don't know."
In the midst of his busy career it
seems that Harriman was able to de
vote only two sittings altogether to the
work on his portrait, which, moreover,
is a breach of the profession not usu
ally included in Keith's list of regular
work. Hence, with hindrance on both
sides .the : work was slightly handi
capped from the start. Those who have
seen it as it now stands pronounce it
excellent as far as It goes, and pre
dict that if.it had been completed it
wojuld have done ample justice to artist
and sitter. It was not finished, how
ever, arid so the public curiosity has
been aroused: as to whether Harri
man's widow will come forward "and
claim it, .whether the pride of produc
ing a finished portrait will urge Keith
on to greater efforts, or. whether the
matter will be no further pursued!
