OAKLAND, Aug. 10.— The condition of
William D. English, manager of the
Contra Costa Water Company, who is
critically ill at East Bay Sanitarium,
showed very slight improvement to-day,
although there was no gain that could
be reckoned as permanent. Since the
operation last Saturday the patient has
been in a semi-conscious state and all
of the symptoms show a very severe
prostration from, the shock of the sur
geons' second attempt to relieve the
serious disorder In the abdomen. With
a temperature that remains normal, the
pulse is very rapid, an indication of quite
unfavorable aspect. "Vitality generally,
however, is at a low stage and this gives
rise to fears very grave Jndeed for the
final result of the heroic efforts to re
lieve the sufferer's, serious affliction.
.While the attending physicians, Dr. D.
D. Crowley and Dr. Frank Adams, are
not ready to give a decision upon the
outcome, they do not announce any posi
tive declaration of hope for recovery.
The patient's chamber is closely guarded,
nurses being in constant attendance and
none other than physicians or members
erf the immediate family are permitted
there.

There is large Interest being taken by
the musical and x -lashlonable sets in the
Scheel symphony concerts, the first of
which will take place next Friday after
noon at the Grand ODera-house at 3:15
sharp. The affair promises to be a so
ciety event as well as a musical festival,
applications for tickets having come in
from the traveling fashionables from all
quarters. The local sale of seats has also
been highly encouraging, and a notable
success for the series Is confidently hoped
for. Rehearsals for the concerts are now
In active progress. Herr Ferdinand Stark
has been appointed concertmeister and
an orchestra of seventy is ranged under
Herr Scheel's baton. The programme is
excellent and runs as follows: Overture,
"In Spring." Goldmark: Symphony No. 2,
C major. Schumann: Suite Op. 43, No. 1,
Tschalkowsky (first time); overture,
"Tannhauser" (by request).
Seats for the concerts are on sale at
Sherman & Clay's, and applications /or
membership in the San Francisco Sym
phony Society may be made to Shatter
Howard, room 91, Crocker building.
This man who was lifted from a wagon to a
position of $4000 a year and smote the hand
which raised him. says with a humor all hi*
own that he U» content with his present sta
tion. But wha^ will Casey do to-morrow night
when the votes arevcounted? (Voice, "Commit
suicide.").
We have contended that It was for the In
terest of ourselves to preserve this Union La
bor party as a club to be used against the ag
gressions of capital, and we believe the man
who would countenance the disintegration of
this party to be a traitor to our cause. Now,
Casey and his followers know this, but . they
are endeavoring to deceive you and to deliver
over to Phelan and McNab the party to which
Walter Gallagher arose, despite repeat
ed shouts for Schmitz, and gave Casey a
sound verbal drubbing. In part he said:
ONE COURSE OPE2T.
Thomas F. Egan of the Painters* Union
was the next speaker. He said in part:
' After having chosen for our utandard-bearer
end elected for Mayor "that gallant champion
of labo?, Eugene E. Schmitz. must we turn
back to official corruption the city now dom
inated by friends of labor? I *ay we must
go forward, and there must be no middle
ground, no compromise. There is no other
hope for the wage-earner. : '¦-'-'
No official in the older parties dare stand
for labor. Then why should we look to either
of these parties for relief? Can it be urged
that the entire community has not profited by
the election of Eugene E. Schmitz?
The simple proposition Is: Has the adminis
tration of Eugene E. Schmitz been such as
to lead you. to continue him in office? If not.
you allow us to be dragged back to the con
ditions existing two years ago. and place us
again under the domination of Gavin McNab
and Phelan.
under Casey and they must do as he pleases.
That is why they passed a resolution de
nouncing Mayor Schmltz. The people na\e
been deluded by Casey and his faction.
The county committee appointed a commit
tee of three to draft a constitution for the
district clubs and all delegates elected by the
district clubs had to be submitted to this com
mittee, which had the power to accept or
reject the delegates. ?
A committee of five was also appointed and
called a committee on qualifications to pass
on the merits of the delegates elected by th«
district clubs. That committee was composed
of Casey Mott. a teamster for the Board of
Public Works; Superintendent McLaughlln or
the Street Sprinkling .Department: Secretary
Berger of the Almshouse. and • Assistant Sec
retary Meeker of the county committee
Now you can understand that Michael Casey
was the entire committee and the others had
to do his bidding. One man had the po »er to
pass on all delegates. If Casey had any sense
he would be ashamed of himself.
One district club had Its entire list of dele
gates rejected by Casey. I demanded to Know
why the list had been rejected, but could get

you belong. They know that if they acknowl
edged this fact their ticket would not receive
200 votes In this city. Their Intention Is to
elect a Democrat for Mayor and Michael Casey
or some of his Ilk for Sheriff.
When Mayor Schmitz was elected he pledged
that policemen would not be allowed on the
cars in case of a strike. Has he kept that
pledge? (Cries of "Yes, Yes"). Then If he
has failed in everything else, for that and that
alone, every worklnsrman In San .Francisco
should vote for him this year.
MAYOR SCHMITZ SFEAXS.
When Mayor Schmitz arose at the in
troduction of the chair a perfect pande
monium of cheers broke forth. Women
waved hats and handkerchiefs and - men
stood on chairs better to voice their en
thusiasm. He said in part:
If It needed any evidence to show your con
fidence In behalf of my administration an
Mayor of the city of my birth, tha reception
you have given me to-night amply furnishes
It. I stand here to-night not as Mayor, but as
a native born son of San Francisco, and from
the bottom of my heart I thank you.
A great deal has been said to-night of Mr.
Michael Casey. I do not wish to speak 111 of
any man. I do not wish to bolster up my
cause by tearing 'down another. In the words
of Shakespeare, <"God made him for a man;
therefore . let him pass." But I do want tr>
say that the contests brought about In the
ranks of the Union Labor party were engineered
not by the friends but the enemies of the
party. . I am content to stand before th« peo
ple of San Francisco and be denounced by the
bosses and vile sycophants who are now abus-
Inc me.
We stand on record as being pledged to put
a pure Union Labor ticket in the field, ard
the delegates sent out by the faction I repre
sent have the audacity to pledge themselves
to my renominatlon as Mayor. That la the
whole issue. If you are satisfied with my ad
ministration, if' you believe in my efforts to
bring about a better understanding between
employer and employe. If you believe I hav*
done . anything- to engage your support, then
vote for the delegates put forth by the faction
I represent.
Much has been said of the carmen's Ktrik*
in this city and of the part I took in it I
wish to say here that whatever be the atti
tude of the president of the Carmen's Union
In thin present flKht. I have not lost the least
faith In the carmen themselves, and I am con
fident that ninety-nine out of one hundred will
cast their votes for the ticket representing me.
I want to say in conclusion that I am will-
Ing to place myself In your hands. I am will
ing to leave it with you as to whether or not
I shall continue my service. I sincerely be
lieve that my renomlnatlon Is for th« best In
terest of the wage-earners of San Francisco,
and if I did not not. I would not seek renom
lnation. I am content to leave my fate in
your hands, and I shall be fully satisfied how
ever you may d^nl with me.
At the conclusion of the address the
quartet sang a campaign song and then
the audience was dismissed by Mayor

NEW YORK. Aug. 10.— Frank Myrtha. »
veteran theatrical manager, died. to-day after
a short Illness. At various times h« was
manager of the Old Comique. the Globe, Niblo's
Garden .the New York.-th« Windsor and ths
Murray Hill theaters.
Attorney W. J. Bajtnett, who represents
the Western Pacific Railroad Company,
will also attend the hearing, as'lhe navi
gability of the Mokelumne River Is likely
to affect freight ratos of the corporation
when it is ready for business.
The matter of the navigability of the
river has been agitated by Fred Harvey,
a large landowner, and the Supervisors of
Sacramento and San Joaquin counties are
opposed to having the river declared
navigable, as it will entail considerable
expense to build a new bridge at Benson
Ferry or convert it Into a drawbridge to
allow the passage cf a dredger. Sacra
mento County will be represented by
Chairman of the Board of Supervisors M.
2. Dillman, Supervisors Thomas Jenkins,
County Surveyor J. C. Boyd, Judge H.
McCune and Peter Glann. Fred Harvey
is thought to be back of the agitation, for
it is said he wants a job of dredging, or
has axes to grind.
San Joaquin County will be represented
by Supervisor Kewton. District Attorney
¦of the county, Arthur Thornton, and a
number of witnesses will also be on hand.
The question as to whether the Mokel
umne River is navigable is to be taken
up to-day before Colonel W. H. Heuer in
his office in the Flood building, when tes
timony pro and con will be heard.
Colonel Heuer represents the United
States War Department and he is also a

President J. E. Baker of the Bank or
Alameda said that he considered the time

valuable franchises for nothing.

to eliminate the JjOO stipulation from the
proposed ordinance, withdraw his amend

With respect to the applications for the
franchises filed by Herman Eppinger Jr.

ability to install a local train and ferry

ALAMEDA. Aug. 10.— Plans of proce
dure in disposing of the applications for
the two local railroad franchises— as out
lined by the executive committee of the
citizens' committee of fiftyj-were ap
proved by the general body at a meeting
held in the city hall to-night.
Cfcairman Frank Otis of the executive
committee, which held several confer
ences with the officials of the Southern
Pacific and the City Trustees, reported
;hat the committee recommended the sub
mission of an ordinance to the City Trus
tees granting the Southern Pacific the
two franchises on the following condi
tions:
TT.at the frar.chisrs be for twenty -flve years;
that the company be required to pay Into the
¦ uy treasury $.*i00 a month for the privileges
• i*ii\eyed in' the franchises; that the present
loct.1 service be not curtailed, and that com
muters be e! v *"n *'l l * le conveniences that are
now afforded; that no local stations be re
' moved without the permission cf the City
Trustees; that ample train and ferry depot
accommodations be provided; that a 2 4 -cent
lare be inaugurated within the city limits ;
that Alameda be allowed terminal freight and
vaescnRf-r rates the same as are given !>in
Krancihco: that the stations removed from
Webster street an<i Sr-cond avenue be re
iilaettf that the tracks on Railroad avenue
Vert r.f Ninth street be taken up; that any
violation by the Southern Pacific of the terms
in the franchises result in the revocation or the
franchises-.
U Bront Mitchell, one of the committee
of fifty, wanted to have the stipulation
that the Southern Pacific be required to
pay $500 a month for the franchises elim
inated from the ordinance to be submitted
to the City Trustees. In giving his rea
sons. Mitchell said:
We are here to do the best we can for Ala
meda have to do business with the
i^outhert? Pacific. It is th» only railroad that
has done and is doinc business with the people.
AVe <Ju not want the f."«' a month so much
f,s we want cood traveling service. Let the
fianchise be granted for twenty-five years, but

money in the franchises. Let eood service be

night that the league tickets would win
in every Assembly district. No denial,
however, was made that strong opposi
tion confronts the league in the Twenty
eighth, Thirty-fourth, Fortieth, Forty
first and Forty-second Assembly districts.
Late yesterday afternoon opposition was
put forward in the Thirty-seventh Dist
rict. The polls will open at 6 a. m. to
day, although M. Jasper McDonald,
chairman of the Democratic County Com
mittee, announces 6:30 a. m. as the open

concerning the opening hour, but all au
thorities agree that the polls will close
at 5 p. m.
The fight in the Union Labor camp is
extremely bitter. The onlookers incline to
the opinion that the Schmitz wing will
down, the Casey faction and capture the
party machinery. Schmitz had a bigger
meeting at the Alhambra last night than
Casey had at the same place last Satur
day night. The Casey reserves, however,
may come up in time to save the day at
the polls.

It Is not difficult, to see through the crooked
acts' of ' the so-called leaders of the Union La
bor party who . are opposed - to us. I know
what I am talking about, for I was a mem
ber of their county committee until two weeks
ago I knew that there was dissension and
strife' but I thought that the opposing fac
tion would finally return to the support of our
standard-bearer. Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz.
I was mistaken and that is why I have left
them and hav£ thrown my lot In *wlth Mayor
Schmitz and his lollowers. It has been. said
by the other faction that we are pirates and
lob-chasers. - They lied. They are like the
thief who seeks to divert attention from him
self by running down the street and calling
an honest man . a thief to fool the pursuers.
The other faction Is composed of Job-chasers,
and I will tell you why.
MJchaer Casey is a hypocrite and a traitor.
The Mayor made him chairman of the Board
of Public Works and that position placed him
on the Board of Health. Casey no sooner was
In power than he swelled up and got the big
head Michael Casey the teamster was a far
different being from Michael Casey. Commis
sioner of Public Works and member of the
Board of Health. He showed his crafty meth
ods at once. He saw the opportunity to build
up a. political machine and he made a combine
with the Board of Health, and you know what
a Board of Health It was. The attacks made
on the Board of Health bv a certain newspaper
ceased just as soon as Michael Casey became
a member Casey also made a combine with
Manson of the Board of Public Works, who is
a Democrat. Then Casey came to a meeting
of the county committee of the Union Labor
Darty which he controlled, and he tendered
the committee a long list of the places he
desired to fill with his own supporters. This
committee which calls us pirates and Job
chasers, grabbed at that list like a hungry
cat after a piece of liver. tThey went down

School Director A. Roncovieri was then
introduced to the gathering and ho re
ceived a hearty welcome. In part he said:
I rejoice to see this great outpouring of the
followers of unionism and supporters of our
valiant and true standard-bearer. Eugene B.
Schmitz. This meeting is a rebuke to those
who seek to destroy the Union Labor party by
dividing it into factions. The few misguided
men and traitors who have created the op
posing faction seek . to turn you against our
true and loyal leader. If you take their ad
vice and turn down the Mayor, you invite de
feat "and disaster to the union cause.
True unionism means the betterment of
American workmen, and it is necessary for all
lovers of unionism to march In solid array and
solidify our principles. There is no better
way to do this than by giving all our support
to the valiant standard bearer who led us to
victory two years aco.
I believe In unionism being in politics, for
it is most necessary. There is nothing our
workmen can ask If they will only stand to
gether at the polls. The ware-earners have
been buffeted between Republicanism and
Democracy. The time has now arrived for
the permanent existence of the Union Labor
party and It must bo preserved and perpet
uated in San -Francisco if you desire peace
and prosperity. Its defeat at the present time
will be a sign of weakness, and If the enemy
can defeat our leader the party will be de
stroyed. We shall and must elect Eugene E.
Schmitz. for we have every reason to feel proud
of him and what he has done. You cannot
without disgrace and base ingratitude with
draw your support from him at this time.
He has proven his worth and you must stand
by him. By his election trades unionism now
receives its proper recognition on all sides.
This condition should prevail all_ over the
country If Mayor Schmitz Is riot re-elected
the Union Labor party will never be heard
° He^has been faithful to all his pledges and
he has well stood the test of public . of flee.
None can say aught against him. He stands
clean and pure in public and private life and
he has been a faithful man to all.
Where would Michael Casey be If the Maypr
had not taken him from obscurity? TVhere
would Richard Cornelius be but for the firm
stand taken by the Mayor during the streetcar
strikes? Would the streetcar company and
the telephone company be ready to arbitrate
their differences but for the attitude of Mayor
Schmitz? The Mayor refused to allow the
hlrelmgs of the corporations to be armed In
order that they might bludgeon and perhaps
kill the men who went on strike.
Remember these things to-morrow when you
go to the polls. San Francisco, has never had
a Mayor who arbitrated so many dif ncultles so
satisfactorily as Mayor Schmitz has done. The
prosperity and high wages now existing in
San Francisco are mainlydue to the confidence
following the election of Mayor Schmttz. He
gained the confidence of all. and It is the duty
of every voter to Indorse his administration
and vote for the delegation pledged to secure
his re-election. • ..- , •
Show your strength and rebuke the renegades
and traitors who seek to destroy our party.
Our motto should be, "One for all and all
lor one," and long life to these United States
and the liberty of brotherhood.

J. J. Connolly of the Plasterers' Union
spoke as follows:
R0NC0VIERI WELCOMED.
SCHMITZ THE ISSUE.
In calling the meeting to order Chair
man Mlllmore said:
I have been requested to act as chairman this
evening, and It affords me great pleasure to
do »o and to have our worthy Mayor on this
platform. There Is much discussion as to
which faction of the Union Labor party Is
the right one to support and which one Is in
the right. Your gathering here to-night shows
which faction you evidently think is the right
one. As chairman of the first convention
held in this city of the Union Labor party, it
gives me pleasure to preside here to-night.
There is no need for me* to eulogixe the acts
of Mayor Schmitz. for you all know what
he han done since he assumed office. He has
faithfully carried out all the pledges he made
before elecjUon, and has given special privi
leges to none and equal privileges to all. I feel
sure that the teamsters of this city will not
forget the man who kept the police from being
armed and placed on the street cars during
the big strike, despite the claims of certain
so-called labor leaders. By your votes to
morrow you must announce that Eugene E.
Schmitz shall be Mayor of this city for an
other term, and thus support him as our
valiant standard-bearer of the Union Labor
party.
THE wing of the Union Labor party
supporting: Mayor Eugene Schmitz
In the pending: campaign lield a
ratification meeting last, evening
at the Alhambra Theater, which
was crowded to its capacity.
The various speakers who addressed the
gathering dwelt . upon the qualifications
and record of the Mayor and. vehemently
denounced Michael Casey, who is at the
head of the labor faction that is opposed
to the re-election of Mayor Schmitz on
the labor party ticket. ¦ .
Previous to the opening of the meeting
a band discoursed popular airs in front
of the theater, and a large quantity of
campaign literature was distributed to
those who entered the theater. A large
number of police officers was on hand to
preserve peace in case members of the
opposing factions might clash, but there
was no sign of disorder, either inside or
outside the theater. A man who was dis
tributing circulars which contained an at
tack on Mayor Schmitz was arrested for
violating a city ordinance. Beyond this
incident the meeting was not disturbed in
any manner.
The /eftrences by the speakers to Mayor
Schmitz*"were all loudly applauded, while
the mention of the name of Michael
Casey drew hisses and groans from all
parts of the house.
Joseph Mlllmore presided at the meet
ing, and among those on the platform
were Alfred Roncovleri, Powel Fredrick,
Thomas F. Egan, Captain George Krump

EVENTS of the last

seem to have awak

election. ' Last night careful
politicians- predicted that
30,000 voters would partici

talk that 2000 votes will be
cast in the Forty-first Dis
trict. This district is agi
tated by rumors that the Re
publican ticket put in the
field by Mike Smith, in op
position to the United Re
publican League and the
Dibble-Daggett tickets, has
lost its backing. The report
goes that Smith's followers
have gone over to - the
Democratic camp to assist

There are indications that
