Members of Clubs]
Join Hands for j
"Cleaning Day"
About three hundred members of local
women's clubs and other organizations
; of -women met in Calvary Church yes- j
'erday and made plans for 'Jcleanlng up ',
The meeting was addressed by |
I A. W. Scott Jr., secretary of the Street
llcpair Association, who explained the
details of the great-project and directed
th*> women in the work of providing re
freshments for the volunteers next Sun
day.
Several new stations were created and
assignments made as follows: Miss j
Maud Younger, at Anna lane and Eddy !
street; Mrs. F. M. Malloye, Polk and !
Sutler streets: Mrs. S. W. Skinner, Bush !
and Kearny: Mrs. William A. Limbaugh. i

Ffrst and Mission. Darina Parlor N. S. I
i G. W. will be allotted an important sec
;t:on. which will be placed under its
/ management Other assignments will
J be made today.
; C J. Wood, manager of the Caspar i
\u25a0 Lumber Company, addressed the "women.
;He is grand patron of the Eastern Star
i Degree of Masons, and he promised
that the women of the Eastern Star
would give assistance in every possible
way and that the Masonic orders were
j In thorough accord with the project to
clean the"streets of the city.
Secretary Scott impressed upon the
ladies the necessity of acting lmme
; diately for the benefit of the entire
i community by putting their shoulders
'to the wheel % and giving greater im- ;
i petus to the movement for the public
! good. He told of the teamsters and
; tli^ir horses, and said that several driv
; ers had been killed and hundreds in
' jured as results of the dangerous condi
! tlon of the streets. The horses had
suffered terribly. In.one hospital there
were ninety-five horses from one sta-
J^le. Scott said, and in other hospitals
'/ion forty to fifty animals. Scott de
, clared that the situation had been in
vestigated thoroughly, and that it had
\u25a0 been found impossible to get the men
ito work on any day but a Sunday. The
work was one of mercy, he said, and
should be entered upon with a Christian
epirit.
XO "BOSSES"; ALL WORKERS
Srott explained that it was not to be
understood that men were to be
"bossed" by any one. They were to work
Independently, but with the idea of con
centrating their efforts toward accom
plishing the most good. Men could
drop in or out of the line as they saw
fit. giving just as much of their time
as they thought they could spare.
The Labor Council notified its affili
ated unions of the indorsement by that
body of the proposed work of the Street
Repair Association. The . .council,
through »te. -wjcretary, sent out tbe.rol
lovlng letter: ' •'. '

WILLIAM P. McCABE,
Secretary San Francisco Labor Council.
Communications offering the services
of unions, business bouses, schools, so
cieties, clubs and individuals came so
fast yesterday at the headquarters of
the Street Repair Association that the
. clerical force there had all that it
.could do to handle the business. So
"widespread has become the interest in
the movement that the repair associa
tion has been informed that several
prominent Eastern publications have
men on the way here to make special
stories of the great lesson in American
, patriotism that is to be furnished by
J the sight of a city of 400,000 popula
tion turning out en masse to clean up
, the debris left by a calamity that
' would have completely stunned most
communities beyond recovery for years.
Men at the head of some of the most
i prominent business houses of the city
; say that tbe movement has given a
Ldecided Impetus to al classes of busi
\u25a0 ness and has resulted in untold good
:to the municipality. They feel deeply
\u25a0 grateful to, the Board of Public Works
•j asr well as to the Street Repair Asso
ciation for the hearty and unselfish
affiliation of these two important bod
ies, and substantial returns In the
Fhape of basketfuls of letters coni-ain
sp.g checks for permanent repair work
have been the result.
• WORK TO-BE COXTIAUED
One of the most striking results al
' ready accomplished Is that enough
j money for repair and cleaning work
j has been received In subscriptions to
• ouable the repair association In co
j operation with the Board of Public
I Works to keep the city in good trim
. for six months.
It would be Impossible to record all
I- of the offers that are made by those
i who wish to help on "Cleanlng-up day."
'but a few of them are noted for the
'purpose of showing how general the
i movement Is. One 'of the morning of
i ferlngs was from E. D. Crowley, who,
j with the assistance of Brlcker & Coats
•and "William F. Yates, will take care of
1 forty teams and men : to. handle them
lln the* district bounded by Seventh,
: Tenth. Townsend and Market streets.
The grain men will be at work- with
sleeves rolled up. and J. Fonnesbeck
'and Adolph Koshland will have men
..and teams iniower Davis street. The
; Pacific Glass 'Works and the' Standard
1 Oil Company 5 will look after the vi
cinity of Seventh and Irvin -streets,
' Kelley & Sons and Dudley & Frank
I will work on Franklin street from
' Bush to California. The Twenty-ninth
: Street House Cleaning Club will see
' that no dust is left on Mission street
;in their vicinity and try to extend
• their work as far as Church street.
MAXV »l' E >" AXD TEAMS ,
' The Sixth Street Improvement Club
• will have Reginald L. Miner look after
' its Interests, and Hale Bros., in the in
' tarest of this have fifty
: m»v and many teams to help along
'\u25a0 th^.good work, besides turning over
their eplendid kitchen equipment . to
; the women who are to serve refresh
• ments.
Seventeenth. Dolores . and Guerrero
residents are 'in line with the
offers of services, and district improve
ment clubs will be formed in this
neighborhood, that the work of keep
ing the streets clean may be perpetu
ated. :;. :\u25a0.:\u25a0\u25a0
The Leon Catering Company offers
its tables and will help the ladies' com
mittees with refreshments. G. H. Umb
sen & Co. have , arranged that the
ladies' committees .may. use two un
occupied stores t»- Market street, near
KJf th. .H. G."Stlndt.; Fred Schmitz, Alex
Fraser and tiL Linnehan -will" help 'as
a subcommittee in the Mission district.
The water front came to the fore
with a letter from R. J.. Tyson, presi
dent of the Seaboard Hank, who in
formed the association, that he was at
the head of a corps of men who would
clean up Market street to California,
California to Drumm, Drumm to. Sacra
mento and Sacramento to Market.
FIREMEX T<K* AID WORK
Mechanics and employes of the Fire
Department's corporation yard sent in
a letter requesting that they be de
tailed by the general committee to help
in whatsoever capacity that occasion
demanded. The firemen will clean the
streets near the stations. -Boys of the'
First Corps of Cadets, forty strong,
will report at association headquarters
to act as couriers. J. B. Warrick, bat
talion commander, will look* after the
details.
Wong Sun Yew told of his effort to
organize the Chinese residents, and
said: "As this Is Chinese New Year I
send you a lucky piece for 'cleaning-up'
day." He inclosed a.tash order.
The boys and girls of the Commer
cial High School wanted to know from
the committee what they could do to
help out. They will be assigned to
special duty to be determined later. "

gard to the leaky boilers in th^e gun
boat has made its report to Washing

of the matter until the Information is

Boilermaker -Kavanaugh and his men
seem to have done a good job on the
Yorktown's boilers, and if anything
•was wrong no blame can be | attached
to their work.
The work of cribbing the new dock
has made considerable progress dur
ing the past week, but a shortage of
lumber is threatening to dela^ and per

great demand for lumber. ln rebuilding
San Francisco has to a large extent

Reed Smoot Victor ; Tube Service in Doubt
FIGHT AGAINST SEATING
UTAH SENATOR IS LOST
Vote Is Taken; After Several
Speeches Concerning
His Life I
POLITICS IS CHARGED
Dubqis Accuses {President
of Taking Undue In
terest in Affair
WASHINGTON, .jFeb;^ 20.— Senator
Reed Smoot \ retains his : seat iiv : the
United States Senate. This \yas decided
today 'by. a vote, of 42- to: 2S,'; ending a
long contest.', A two-thirds ;,vote .woulfi
have been;' necessary to; adopt the un
seating resolution. '-..\u25a0.;.i"
Eighteen Senators were paired, mak-*
!ng the actual standing^on the resolu
tion 51 for and 37 against. .
The Smoot resolution -1 was called up
soon 'after the Senate convened. *;; Every
seat in the galleries J^was/ filled,; and
during the actual voting: the standing
room on the floor was crowded .by
members of the House and ' employes
of the Senate. ..
Senators Dubois, Hansbrough. New
lands, Bacon and Burrows,-.- the latter
chairman of the committee, 4 spoke
against Smoot todays while Senators
Beveridge, Dolliver and Foraker spoke
for him. / ,
"When the voting began Smoot retired
to 'the Republican cloakroom; to await
the result. Senator Hopkins offered his
amendment to the committee resolution
and it was adopted. Thismade a two
thirds vote necessary to -carry the'un
seating resolution. It was adopted on
the ground that such" a; resolution car
ried by a majority would have been un
constitutional.^- \u25a0 v
Senator Carmack then * offered as a
suL»ititute -for the amended , resolution
a simple one, declaring' that Senator
Smoot should. be* "expelled.". The effect
of this would have been to displace
the committee resolution, ; if adopted,
and -it was defeated. .
Then came the vote on the commit
tee resolution as amended, "which was
as follows:
Resolved, two-thirds of the '- Senators present
concurring therein. That need : Smoot 13 not "Enti
tled to a seat as a 'Senator of ; the United States
from the State of Utah.
Although it was* a foregone conclu
sion that the resolution would fail,
and thus end the long fight- againstWhe
Utah ;•; Senator, the roll-call contained
some surprises. Of theiforty-two ,votes
in. favor of Smoot, three liwere cast. by
Democrats— Blackburn, ,: Clark : of -Mon
tana and Daniel. Of the twenty-eight
votes against Smoot, nine were Repub
licans, being cast by Burrows. Clapp,
Dv ' Pont, Hale, Hansbrough. Hemen
way, Kittredge, La P'ollette and Smith.
, At the conclusion of the voting there
was a rush of Senators -to the cloak
room, to congratulate : Smoot.
Dubois took direct issue with Sen
ator Knox's statement that "polygamy
In Utah has ended." : ~ Sj,*^ 1 !
"Five out of the twelve apostles have
gone Into it since the manifesto," said
Dubois. Turning his attention to Sen
ator Smoot, Dubois remarked:
I know that stron? inflnpilcpg -are at . work.
The I'rrsldont of the United SUtes is an ° open
friend of the Senator from Utah. --You all know
it. He wants \u25a0 him seated. J'Tout have -the Mor
mon vote.' You have every one^of. tliem,, my
friends- upon the " Hepubllcan "side.* But it • has
cost you t the moral 'support of tho Christian ' wo
men • and men \u25a0of • tbe UllltOd State*. •'-\u25a0 ~/ •-\u25a0;«'\u25a0--;-::\u25a0
Senator Beveridge; followed with ,; a
plea for : Smoot's retention.' .He /'be
lieved the greatest: wrong that could
be done any. man v/as the: ruin", of his
reputation .when his life .had been
stainless. He said Smoot . was not a
polygamist.
XEW DISTRICT JUDGE
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.— A bill pro
viding for. an additional Judge in the
Northern District of California was
offered In the Senate today by Per
kins. It is similar to the Kahn bill
pendlng^in the House.
Efforts are being made to arrange
a conference on the bill already passed,
whi<jh provided for the California Dis
trict Judge and was amended by ;the
Senate to provide for two additional
Circuit Judges, for ; the Ninth Circuit.
If this effort fails the Californtans will
try to I pass the^ new bills. It .is be
lieved-that If a corfference is held the
bill' may be amended by providing, only
one additional Circuit "Judge. In this
shape the two houses would probably
agree to it.^^^P^^^^PP
; Senators Carter and -Piles, who "se
cured the "Circuit .Judge amendment,
have become-convinced that the^House
will not agree to it, and they showi
signs of weakening. They, are aiming
ultimately, at the creation of the Tenth
Judicial, Circuit, to be composed of
certain Northwestern States arid
Alaska. . " ; _
Both California Senators appear to
think that W. C. Van Fleet will be
appointed District; Judge If the bill
passes. /They say they : have not roc
ommende^ anybody, but are willing
to indorse-.- Van Fleet ' at the proper
time. i

WASHINGTON*. Feb. 20.— San Fran
cisco will not have any pneumatic tube;
service unless the. Senate is more gen
erous'to the tube "trust: than the House.
The provision in the. postofflce appro
priation bill allowing $1,388, 759 for tube"
service in San Francisco and certain
other cities fit the , rate of $25,000 a
mile was ruled out on a point of drder
made by Sherlej',' Democrat," of Ken
tucky. ' ' - •
V.-:. The point of order was technical, and
the real reason why/, the House sat
down on the Item was that it. believed
the tube trust v/as attempting to hold
up the Government. Estimates were
made a year ago, and the department
was. authorized -, to contract' for tube
service at a cost of $17,000 a mile. No
bid'was received'for the San Francisco
system, and postal officials '{testified be
fore the House committee that they had
been informed that the tube company
regarded' the allowance as too small. ,

Such <\u25a0\u25a0 is v the indignation : : here among
members of the various leading com
merciar bodies at ; some of; the recent
acts of the Legislature that the move
ment for State divi&ion has been given
greater strength than it ever before pos
sessed. 'It is not a spasmodic burst of
anger,; but the sentiment is being gen
erally voiced that this section must have
relief from the actions of some of the
men who are making the laws at Sac
ramento. State division -has \u25a0 been sug
gested as \ a -possible relief and the
idea eagerly; seized upon.
Some of the legislators to whose,, of
ficial and personal acts objection has
been made are from, tills section of the
State and one or two from this very
county. ' There have ''been- abundant
indications that certain 'members of
the delegation are. tied to the railroad
machine so firmly thatall appeals from
their constituents to -take this or that
action are regarded as- wholly secon
dary to the ,wishes of the bosses.
It is expected' that, thercampalgn
for .; State "division :.will take .definite
shape through the agency of the Cham
ber fof; Commerce^ one of the most
powerful commercial organizations in
the State. That it will get support
from mother southern counties is cer
tain. .'-It is not .expected ': to ; accomplish
so: great, a thing In a day,, but the
present' plan is • to prepare for a long
campaign, the : first step : in ; which will
be to- endeavor- to (educate the people
as ;to the - advantages \ which' ; .would
come to them if the ' State were
divided. SBPBSPIESnBHHj
: Southern California free to
control \u25a0' governmental . affairs for.; itself,
it- is*; argued, '\u25a0\u25a0'thera .would be less op
portunity for, gang rule^and the legis
lators ;. would" pay more, attention ; to the
wishes of thosei who -elect \u25a0 them.

NATION'S POWDER BILL
AN EXORBITANT ONE
SenatorS enator Says Government
Could' Make Explosive
• " for Half
CONSUMPTION HEAVY
Five Million" Pounds An
nually at the Cost of
Seventy-Five Cents
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.— The naval
appropriation bill was passed by. the
Senate today. The only amendments
adopted added $250,000 to the Item for
coal . an<L^transp6rtation and $130,000
for -a power plant at Norfolk navy
yarzl. >
Senator Culberson noticed that the
Senate, committee had doubled" the
amount for coal as stated. He asked
If these items had any reference to
the gathering of large fleets, such as
the President was in the habit of or
dering,, or to the forthcoming exposi
tion at Jamestown. Senator Hale re
plied that \u25a0 the expenses . of the navy
in time of peace for ammunition were
large.
Senator Stone said that he had ascer
tained that the annual consumption of
powder by the ' army . and navy was
about 5.000,000 pounds, that it cost
the Government 75 cents a pound and
that the Government could manufac
ture this powder' for about half that
amount. He Had intended to" address
the Senate at some length' in advocacy
of Government manufacture of powder,
but would content himself with sub
mitting several letters from certain
powder manufacturers of Kansas City,
Peoria, .'lll., and York, Pa.
Senator Carmack offered an amend
ment appropriating $100,000 for a cast
Iron and steel foundry at the Washing
ton navy yard, but tnls was defeated
on a. point of order made by Hale.
The naval bill carries an amendment
appropriating $100,000 for a central
light and power plant at Hare Island
and $500,000 additional for coal sup
plies and coaling stations. This sum
will be spent to complete ' the coaling
station at California City Point and
practically complete the station at San
Diego. •
RUSSIAN RADICALS WIN
Constitutional Democrats Routed in
Parliamentary Election
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21.— The
Radicals have won In the Parliament
ary election. Late returns show Ssl
Radicals elected. Professor Milutokoff,
leader of the Constitutional Democrats,
admitted {it midnight that the result
spelled defeat for his party. The Con
stitutional Democrats will have at the
outside -a round hundred of delegates,
less than one-fifth of 'the total repre
sentation, and with the recognition of
this fact there disappears the last hope
of this party taking over the Ministry.
"Do you belier© In miracles?" asked
a well-known 'attorney of, a ! witness on
the stand. "Orte of my clients fell
from a window and slightly Injured
himself? By what name would you
term. this disaster?" "An accident," an-
I swered the witness. .. "Well, he fell
from the same window the next day
about the same hour,", said the attor-
ney to the- witness. "What have you
'to say about that," and what would you
term It?" "A coincidence," answered
the witness. "Again he fell from the
same window on the third day at the
same hour," said the attorney. "Please
give me your definition of. that." "I
would call It a bad habit." Now,
we have the bad habit of selling cheap,
and we are sure that our competitors
believe that we are performing mira-
cles all the time. It is no miracle at
all. We buy In immense quantities at
the very lowest figures and sometimes
cheaper than some of the retail houses
can ..buy.
Pianos for which some houses ask
$350 we are offering as low as $225.
Talking Machines that some houses ask
$50 for we are selling for $35.- Come
in and. let us demonstrate.

On Your Stomach.
Wonderful Absorbing Power of Char-
coal "When Taken in the Form of
Stnart's Charcoal Lozenges. **
Trial Package Sent Free
Charcoal, pure, simple charcoal, ab-
sorbs 100 times its own volume of gas.
"Where, does the gas go to? It Is Just
absorbed by the charcoal — the gas dis-
appears and. there la left pure, fresh,
sweet atmosphere, free from all Im-
purities and germs.
That's what happens in your stomach
when you take one or. two. of Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges, the most powerful
purifiers science has yet discovered. .
, To^ belch- gas in company, some-
times, by accident, greatly to your own
humiliation. That is because there is
a great amount of gas being formed in
your stonjach by fermenting food. Your
stomach is not . digesting your food
properly. Gas is Inevitable. "Whenever
this happens, just take one or two of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges right after
eating, and you will be surprised how
quickly they will act. No more belch-
ings; no more sour risings. Eat all
you want and what you want, and then
if there is any ga3 going to be formed,
one of these wonderful little absorbers,
a Stuart Charcoal Lozenge, will take
care of all the gas.
And it will do more than that. Every
particle of Impurity in your stomach
and intestines is going to br» carried
away by the charcoal. No one seems
to know why it does this, but it does,
and does It wonderfully. You notics
the difference In your appetite, general
good feeling and In the purity of your
blood, right away.
You'll have no more bad taste in your
mouth or bad breath, either from drink-
ing, eating Or smoking. Other people
will notice your bad breath quicker
than you will yourself. Make your
breath pure, fresh and sweet, so when
you talk to others you won't disgust
them. Just one or two Stuart Charcoal
Loaenges will make your breath sweet
and make you feel better all over for
it. \u25a0 You can eat all the onions and
j odorous foods you want, and no one
can tell the difference.
I Besides, charcoal Is the best laxative
i known. You can take a whole boxful
and no harm will result. It is a won-
derfully easy regulator.
And then, too, it filter 3 your blood —
every particle of poison or impurity in
your blood ts destroyed, and you begin
to notice the difference in your face
first thing — your clear complexion.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made
from pure willow charcoal, and just a
little honey is put in to make them pal-
atable, but not too sweet. .
They -will work wonders In your
stomach, and make you feel fine and
fresh. Your blood and breath, will ba
purified.
We want to prove all this to you. so
