CONSOLIDATION
18 INDORSED
Labor Council Adopts Report
Which Favors Greater San
Francisco Amendment
The law and leglsla-
OEO woSffiJy Five committee of the
San Francisco Labor
council at the meeting last night pre
sented a majority and minority report
on the amendment relating to the merg
ing and consolidating by general laws
into one consolidated city and county
government of contiguous territory.
The former recommended that the
council indorse the proposed amend
ment, while the minority opposed it on
the ground that it "is a political move
and not one that affects labor."
Delegates J. W. Mullein, A. J. Gal
lagher, John I. Xolan, Kenneth Mc-
Leod and Samuel Taback made strong
arguments in favor of the majority re
port on the ground that the carrying
of the amendment was the only means
by which San Francisco could have an
opportunity to expand either down the
peninsula or across the bay, providing
the people of the contiguous territory
want to come in.
Delegates Ellison and Shulberg fa
vored the minority report.
The majority report was adopted by
a large majority.
A delegate from the Brass and Chan
deliers" union, under reports from the
union, said: "I wish to report that our
union indorsed as candidate for presi
dent —" but he did not get any further,
for the president called him to order,
saying that's politics, not a report
from a union."
The council by vote instructed its
delegates to the American Federation
of Labor to urge upon that body to
hold its 1915 convention in this city and
to extend to it an Invitation to meet
here during the life of the Panama-
Pacific canal exposition.

Remaining Members to Pay
Debts and Affiliate With
the Olympic
Heavily In debt and losing its mem
bers in wholesale lots to other clubs
in San Francisco, the Army and Navy
club, 126 Post street, which was es
tablished about three years ago with
much pomp and ceremony, has decided j
to dissolve and its remaining members j
will become affiliated with the Olympic
dub. After a stormy meeting of the
directors yesterday it was decided to
appoint a committee of officers to ef
fect the consolidation and to arrange
to liquidate the debts of the defunct
organization dollar for dollar. The
total indebtedness is said to be several j
thousand dollars.
The action of the directors yester- j
day meets the approval of the regular
army officers. The militia men are j
said to be adverse to the change. It
Iβ said that officers of the United
States army resented the control of the
club being in the hands of the officers
of the national guard.
.Social activities in the Olympic club
will be greatly increased by the mil
itary members. In a few days the
furniture of the dissolved club will be
sold and its affairs wound up. Fol

PEOPLE INDORSE
SENATOR WOLFE
Large Meeting Is Addressed by
Andrew Fureseth and Oth*
ers, Extoiiing Candidate
Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the
i Seiimen's Union of tSie Pacific, went into
Senator Edward I. Wolfe's district last
l night and made an eloquent appeal for
i Wolfe's return to the senate. More
than 600 persons were packed into the
I Palace theater in Union street near
Bfii, for the meeting, which was held
I under the auspicee of the republican
! county committee. Senator Wolfe. As
semblyman MHton L.. Schmitt, Congress
i man Julius Kahrr. Judges Thomas F.
i Graham and Edward P. Shortall were
the candidates who addressed the meet
ing. Samuel M. Shortridge joined with
Furaseth in denouncing Wolfe's de
tractors.
WOLFE THE PEOPLES FRIEND
After John H.. Dumbrell, president of
VoLfe club of the thirty-first dis
trict, had called the meeting to order
and presented Fred L. Hansen as chair
man of the evening. Furuseth took the
1 r'atfnrm to speak bis appreciation ot
: Wolfe as a legislator.
"'I have seen Senator Wolfe in |uch a
physical condition." said Furuseth,
"that he had to be assisted by two men
from his carriage into the senate cham
ber and from the senate chamber to
his carriage. He came into the senate
chamber to take care of the under dog."
This was said by Furuseth in refu
tation of the charge that Wolfe had
been the friend of the interests and
not the people at Sacramento. The
labor leader also told of the repeal of
the crimp act through the efforts of
Wolfe working in behalf of the sea
men. He told how Wolfe had worked
for the eight hour law for women, al
though many of the socalled progress
ives were against it.
CHAMPION OF LABOR
Furuseth told how Wolfe had fought
for the employers' liability act so as to
give better protection to the working
man, and how he had opposed the bill
to allow nine men to return a verdict
In a criminal case. Furuseth insisted
that the twelve man verdict was the
greatest safeguard of the rights of the
people.
Wolfe "was given a great reception
T .v!.en he was presented. He told of the
I attempt of the progressives to eliminate
him from the senate by rediatricting
the city. He told how he had won the
nomination by the direct primary and
how he had done »o by making a clean
fight. He touched briefly on how the
republicans had been denied a place on
the ballot this year, first by the con
vention, then by the ruling of the su
preme court and lastly by the action of
Acting , Governor Wallace In declining
to call an extra sesEion of the legisla
ture to right the wrong. Wolfe then
told" of a meeting held in the district,
at which progressives had Indorsed hifl
j democratic opponent.
"Is that in accord with the spirit of
the direct primary law, for which they
fought and I foaght?" asked the sen
ator.
HEMES RACETRACK IXTERESTS
Wolfe referred to a circular that had
been sent through the district attack-
Ing him. He denied its charges that
the racetrack interests or corrupt cor
porations had assisted Jiim in his cam
paign. Hβ referred to his work in be
half of San Francisco while in the sen
ate and read telegrams from Mayor
Rolph and Senator A. E. Boynton as
testimonial*.
The telegram frora Boynton, who is
a leader among the progressives, was
sent by Boynton four years ago, when
Wolfe was also a candidate. In the
telegram Boynton referred , to Wolfe as
Sa» Francisco's ablest legislator,
against whom there' v.-as no ground for
criticism, and that his defeat would
be a blow to the republican party of
the state. Wolfe told of his fight for
the consolidation amendment, for mu
nicipal control of the water front, for
the passage of the white slave act and
the passage of the Juvenile court act.
SHOIITRIDGE PAYS TRIBUTE .
Shortridge said that he was present
to champion the cause of the city's
champion and friend, Edward I. Wolfe.
He paid a high tribute- to the efficiency
of Wolfe as a legislator and insisted
that he should be re-elected for the
good of the city.
Schmitt told of the wrong that had
been done San Francisco in the reap
portlonment and he laid bare the meth
i ods of Meyer Lissner by telJing how
the boss had tried to coerce him Into
voting for Works for United States
senator by threatening to prevent the
passage of Schmitt's bills and to keep
him off important committees. Schmitt
voted for Spaldihg, as instructed by his
district. He consequently drew poor
committee appointments.
Congressman Kahn was the lest
speaker and was given a gratifying re
ception. He referred to the fight to
i secure the exposition for San Francisco
j and to the numerous other matters
which he had fought through congress
to benefit this city.

Art Instructor Tells How False Hair Hides
Beauty The Call Is Searching For
A. W. Best, the well known art in
structor of this city, said yesterday:
"The Call has a fine chance while It
is running this pretty girl contest to
preach a sermon that will please every
man and mother in the country.
'"Everywhere you turn you hear, 'If
she only would leave off those rats!'
"Why is it that women, especially
those who are out in the world making
a living, persist in loading a lot of
false hair on top of their heads? It is
no longer the fashion if you consider
the famous beauties of the world as a
criterion.
"The ideal head Is the head that can
be inclosed in a circle or a square. Just
as soon as a woman piles on a lot of
false hair her head becomes lopsided.
The line of beauty running from the
crown of the head to the nape of the
neck is distorted, and a caricature Is
the result.
"The girls that know best how to
dress their hair becomingly are to be
found among the art students. They
PASSING OF LAST
OF "GRAFT" CASES
Famous Prosecution Ends With!
Dismissal of Indictments
Against Louis Glass
The last vestige of the so called graft j
prosecution was swept away yesterday
morning, when Superior Judge William
Lawlor dismissed the 11 "remaining
bribery indictments against Louis Glass,
former vice president and general man- |
ager of the Pacific Telephone and Tele- i
graph company.
Lawlor caused the true bills to be
stricken from his calender because
Glass' counsel invoked the statute of
limitations on the grounds that the
defendant had not been given a trial
within 60 days after he had demanded it.
Glass had been indicted on a charge
of having given a bribe of $50,000 to
the Schmitz board of supervisors to In
fluence their vote against the petition
of the Home Telephone company for a
franchise.
WITNESSES DEAD OR MISSIVG
Because several material witnesses
have died since Glass was indicted and
on account of the absence from juris
diction of Theodore V. Halsey and Em
! lie J. Zimmer were other reasons for
the dismissal of the indictments.
In dismissing the indictments. Judge
Lawlor took occasion to compliment
Attorney T. C. Coogan, counsel for
Glass, upon the courteous manner In
which he had conducted the case. He
also rehearsed the trials and tribula
tions of the graft prosecution and said
that if Zimmer and Haleey could be
located to testify he believed Glass
could be convicted, but at the same
time declared that it was through no i
fault of Glass that Halsey and Zimmer
were out of the state.
Glass was not in court. He is in the
Philippine islands organizing a tele
phone company.
II Ml. EXONERATED
Lawlor exonerated the bail of Glass
amounting to several thousand dollars.
Glass was tried twice before Lawlor,
the first trial resulting in & disagree
ment and the second in a conviction.
The district court of appeals set aside
the judgment in the second trial be
| cause of -errors and remanded Glass
I for retrial.
TURK BEATS BULGAR
IN FIGHT OVER WAR
Defeated Man Thrown in Well;
Victor Flees Without Coin
COL.MA. Xov. I.—The success of the
Balkan allies in southeastern Europe Is
evidently not often duplicated on
American soil, If the overwhelming vic
tory near here today of Tola Kiusa, a
Turk, over George Philopelts, who says
he is a Bulgarian, is a fair criterion.
Not contented with routing his ad
versary on the field of battle, the man
from Constantinople threw him down a
well and then, his nerve failing him at
the thought of intervention, fled in
fear of the action of the powers.
An entirely new nation appeared in
the final, settlement, as Chinese who
were paslsng heard his cries and pulled
him from the well.
The two men work In a truck gar
den near here, and became involved In
a dispute over the present war. The
defeated Bulgarian remained nearly a
half hour in water up to hie neck.
Kiusa fled without collecting his
wages.

perlence exhibited when the lieutenant |
was in command of a fire in China
town."
President Brandenstein of the fire j
commission so stated yesterday at the
conclusion of the investigation which
had been ordered by Mayor Rolph at
the instigation of Supervisor Andrew
J. Gallagher.
There was nothing: on record to sup
port Smith's charge that Chief Murphy
had suspended him. The chief explained
that he had Relieved the lieutenant
from duty. Suspension would have re
quired the filing of formal charges. In
stead of doing this the chief gave
Smith an opportunity to apply for &
transfer from his truck company to an
engine company, where the responsi
bility would be less.
