INTERVENTION OF MAYOR
SAVES THIRTEEN "CAFE"
MEN THEIR LICENSES
Liquor Sellers Along Lurid
Trail of Vice Know
Things About Him
WOMEN ENTER BARS
One Firm Found Guilty, but
Its Permit Is Not
Taken Away
Mayor Schmltz came to the rescue
yesterday of the thirteen saloon men
whose licenses are In jeopardy before
the Board of Police Commissioners be
cause the liquor sellers had pandered
to female patronage along the lurid
path of folly that winds up Golden Gate
e venue to Fillmore street Their cases
were slated to come up for trial at the
meeting yesterday afternoon*: There
were two new Commissioners. Wallen
and Finn, and co clamorous had been
the claims on Schmitz of the hitherto
protected "cafe" men that the Mayor
dared not disregard them. M&ny of
tbcm have boasted openly of municipal
protection- They are In a position to
do the Mayor, whose cloud of troubles
deepens at every turn, abundant harm.
He knows it: they know It and that
Is why the Mayor was on hand at the
meeting of the Commissioners yester
day afternoon to intercede for them.
The session was scheduled to open at
1:20 o'clock in the City Hall, on Eddy
Ftreet. It was 4 o'clock before the
Commissioners filed out of the secre
tary's room and took their chairs
around the table. For two hours and a
lialf the Mayor had been Importuning
them. Once or twice during the meet-
Ing as George B. Keane, Ruef a hench
man, passed quickly In or out of the
room where the deliberations were In
progress, the Mayor, worried and
harassed, arguing with his Commission
ers, might be seen; but every one's lips
were scaled and the Police Board had
nothing to say about the long session
before the Commissioners* meeting. The
captains of police awaited their coming
impatiently and the crowded meeting
room grew dark 'with smoke and com
ing twilight
SCHMITZ HELPING FREEXDS
As public servants, the Commission
ers decided that their employers, th«
people, should not know what htd
transpired during that Jong talk, but
echoes came from the room. Schmitz
yaK fixing- tbe saloon men's case. He
was caring for his friends, whose
Jicnnses, according- to the municipal or
dinances which Mayor and Commission
ers are bound by oath to enforce,
thould have been revoked. They were
not,' and it Is not likely they will be.
The session was a, poor farce and
phoujd be put on at Davis* firetrap the
ater.
It was funny to bear "Doc" Leahy
and Commissioner Hagerty argue as to
vhat constituted respectability in
women, and plan test methods to de
termine that point in the admission of
women to saloons. Hagerty was op
pressed with an abiding horror at the
Thought that some lady might be over
come with thirst along the new ten
derloin and be unable to get a glass of
coda pop at Pratt & Tierney*s or Cas
eerly's or some other resort convenient
lor the consumption of such beverage.
Captain Mooncy was called to testify
to the character, or lack of it. of tbe
patrons of the saloons in Question. It
was bad. Raid that officer. Attorney
Frank J. Murphy, for the saloon pro
prietors, cross-examined tbe captain
end got him mad. The captain said:
"I don't believe any decent woman,
or one with a shred of self-respect,
would enter any of these saloons. In
my opinion all saloons of this class
:•\u25a0( nothing but assignation houses, and
T base this opinion not on my code of
"morals, but on ray experience as an
officer in this district."
And co tbe wrangle went on and the
Commissioners argued with each other
as though they meant it.
Only one case was brought up. It
was that of Samuel & Conn. 632 Golden
Gate avenue, who were cited to appear
and show cause •why their license
should not be revoked.
Evidence waa adduced proving that
the saloon was supplied with partitions
In defiance of the law, but tbe pro
prietors were on hand to state that
they would fix everything to the Com
missioners* liking. After much discus
sion tbe board decided they had been
guilty of violating th« ordinance regu
lating saloons' and had catered to
women patronap*. llagerty demurred
to finding them guilty, but finally voted
w!th xh" others and the saloon men
\u25a0were found bo.
LICENSE HfOT REVOKED
Then followed Lieahy's motion to re
voke the license. More argument, and
roore eloquence from Hagerty, who
cald: "We want to eliminate women
from saloons In the residential section,
*ut we fio not want to do any invest
jng ealoon man any barm. These men
have put thousands of dollars into
these places. His solicitude was beau
tiful and *»o charmed Thomas Finn, the
ehw Commissioner, that when the mat
ter of revocation was voted on. the
lsJly stood 2 to 2 and Lieahy's motion
tvas lost. The license was not revoked.
thanks to Hagerty and Finn, but the
reputation of the Commissioners was
raved, because two ba4 voted for the
revocation.
And so it happened at the end of the
aesKion that matters stood Just where
they did at the opening and Mayor
Schmitz gained breathing time.
On Sunday these licenses expire. It
\u25a0wraa agreed that the saloons In question
should b« run as before, only without
the gracious presence of the fair »ex,
Rbout whose thirst Hagerty Is so much
concerned. Monday morning tbe board
will meet again and will take up th«
other cases, as It did that of Samuel
& Cohn.
Meantime the cafe proprietors feel
*&fc in tbe arms of Schmltz. •

Davis' Trap of Death
Scorns City 's Laws
Any Citizen Can File Complaint
Against Guilty Proprietor
Fire Chief Shaughnessy Scores the Trap of Death
"The Davis Theater is a fire trap which at the touch of a spark would
burn like gunpowder. I have reported it repeatedly as dangerous and
also reported the proprietor's failure to install the apparatus and appliances
required by law. The law does not give me authority to close the place."
Commissioner Egan Says Davis Defies City's Laws
"The Davis Theater is dangerous. We have twice demanded that it be
equipped with the appliances and apparatus for fire protection required
by law. The place was erected without a permit from this department
and opened without the certificate from this department which is the legal
prerequisite to the issuance of a license by the Tax Collector."—Com
missioner of Public Works Egan.
Prosecutor Heney Shows Way to Close Tinder Box
"The proprietor of the Davis Theater is guilty of a misdemeanor punish- ;
able by a fine or not more than $500 or imprisonment for not more than i
six months or both fine and imprisonment each time he permits a theatri
cal performance to be given in it. The law may be invoked by any citizen
filing a formal' complaint."— Special Prosecutor Francis J. Heney.
At the instance of any citizen Supervisor Sam Davis may be
arrested and subjected to a fine of $500 or imprisonment for six
months every time he opens the doors of the fire trap show house
he has conducted for nine months by grace of the active friendship
and silent partnership o^Mayor Schmitz and Abe Ruef.
All of the city officials charged, directly or indirectly, with the
protection of theater patrons from fire traps are either unwilling
or unable to take the initiative in abating the nuisance and public
menace maintained by $11,250 Davis and Master Looters Schmitz
and Ruef, under the misnomer of "theater." The Board of Fire
Wardens has no authority to close the fire trap. It can only protest
and report to the Board of Public Works. The Board of; Public
Works is in doubt about the extent of its powers and passes the
responsibility to the Tax Collector/
The Tax Collector says he is -willing:
to close the place if the City Attorney
will assure him he has the authority.
The City Attorney has not had time
to fortify himself in the law on the
subject, but joins with the other city
officials In suggesting that any citizen
may institute criminal proceedings by
complaint filed with the District Atr
torney. In this view of the several city
functionaries the District Attorney's
offlce concurs fully. According to the
Fire Wardens' report, every time Davis
opens his death trap he is guilty of
seven distinct violations of the law,
for any one of which he may be fined
and imprisoned.
Commissioner of Public "Works Egan
said yesterday:
"Davis* boast that this theater is just
what it was when he opened it indi
cates an assumption that the law was
not made for him and that he Is not
amenable to it. The Davis Theater is
dangerous. It was erected without a
permit from this department and li
censed without our certificate. It has
no legal existence and were it not for
the reports and protests filed by the
Board of Fire Wardens this department
would have no record of such a place..
"We have formally demanded that
Davis comply with the law, but with
out avail." continued Commissioner
Egan. "The place should be dosen. It
is a menace and to permit it to run
In violation of the law is a discrimina
tion against every other theater in San
Francisco. Since we attempted to close
the brothel at €20 Jackson street and
were enjoined by Judge SeawelU we
have been uncertain as to our power
to summarily close places maintained
in violation of the building law. But
I am sure the police department has
the power to close the place and purely
any citizen can Invoke the criminal
law and secure the imposition of the
punishments provided for violation of
the ordinance. In any event the "li
cense — and I assume the place has bjcn
licensed — could not be issued legally
without our certificate and any citizen
could undoubtedly secure its revoca
tion by the courts."
Tax Collector Nichols could not find
the Mayof/s permit or record in his
office. He* Is sure, however, that there
was a permit given by the Mayor,
\u25a0which be accepted as authority for is
suing the license dated June SO, 1906.
Nichols said:
"There was a time after the fire
when all law was suspended. The
Mayor was supreme and I accepted his
permit am final. I have refused to re
new expired licenses given by virtue
of similar permits and of course should
refuse to issue .a new license to Davis
without the proper certificate from the
Board of Public Works. I am only
a collection agent. I have asked the
City Attorney to advise me as to my
powers and- if he tells me I have the
power I will promptly close the Davis
and any other place not complying with
the law. My request for an opinion
was sent to the City Attorney on March
2, but he has given me no answer."
City Attorney W. G. Burke could not
recall yesterday having received a re-

an off-hand opinion in the matter. Be

letter. Burke safd he would be pre
pared to elucidate the law in the prem

that he had nothing- to do with the
criminal law and - that any citizen
might secure the criminal prosecution
of Davis by formal complaint to the
District Attorney. In fine, it is now
the duty of the citizens . of the city to
relieve their paid servants of the un
pleasant task • of interfering with, the
flow of illegitimate profits Into the
pockets of Davis, Schmltz and Ruef,
crematory theater proprietors.
The reports returned by the Board
of Fire Wardens show in detail the ex
tremely dangerous character of the
Davis fire trap and how the boodler
manager has, through the interest and
favof of Schmltz and Ruef, been per
mitted to jeopardize thousands of lives
and millions of dollars' worth of-prop
erty. '"'r'.^:t
DEFIES THE LAW EVERY DAT'
Nearly every provision of the build-
Ing law especially framed for the pro
tection of theater patrons and employes
la violated dally by Davis. The report
amply ive tlfles Chief Shaughnessy's de
nunciation of the deathtrap as a pow
der can. It shows that the Davis
crematory show tent is a standing vio
lation of the law In these particulars.
It is not equipped with a four-inch
standplp© and proper hose connections.
There are no two and a half inch fire
hose pipes. There are no automatic
sprinklers, no water casks, no buckets,
no books and axes, no asbestos cfir-*
tain and the dressing rooms are not
lined with fireproof material. Each
specified omission is a direct violation
of the building ordinance. Section 35S
of that ordinance provides that:
"Any person, firm, company or cor T
poration that violates, disobeys, omits,
neglects or refuses to comply with, or
that resins or opposes the execution of
any of the provisions of this. ordinance
shall be deemed, guilty of a misde
meanor and upon conviction , thereof
shall be punished by a fine not.exceed
ing $500. or by imprisonment for not
more than six months,, or by both such
fine and Imprisonment, , and every such
person, firm, company or" corporation
'shall be deemed guilty, of a. separate

fusal shall continue and shall bn . sub

Bection for each and \u25a0 every separate

GENERAL MACARTHUR
ORDERED TO CHICAGO
BY WAR DEPARTMENT
Will , Take Command of
, the Department of
the Lakes*
CHANGE A . SURPRISE
Greely Probably Will Suc
ceed to the Division of
the Pacific
Lieutenant General . Arthur SlacAx-
thur has been ordered to Chicago to
take command : of the Department of
the ; Lakes. : The • news came as a sur
prise in army circles about the bay.
General , Mac Arthu r.. has"; been offered
every post of. importance.ini the United
States, but has at all ; times " preferred
to remain' on this coast. Aa the com
manding.; officer in the United States
army he > has had the selection of any
post he chose to reside in. ".
California has always been a favorite
station with him, and despite the prom
inence of the big Eastern posts he
has chosen .to remain .here. He , has
frequently said that he should like to
remain here ; until his retirement on
June 2, 1909. .
General Mac Arthur has ,been sta
tioned here for the last four years. He
came here as commander of De
partment of California ; two years | later
he was made commander of the Pacific
division.. During that period he went
to Japan and was the guest 0.1 that
natlon/for several months during the
closing movements of. the Japanese-
Russian war.
. On: his return to this coast he re
sumed his position of commander of
the Pacific division, and now holds that
detail as well as . chief of the Depart
ment of California. ;
As the army divisions are to be abol
ished on JuneJßO,' there will be a great
scattering of array officers high in
rank. No one. has yet been designated
to take command of this department,
but It Is rumored that General A. W.
Greely, now in command oosf s the 'North
ern division, is to be ordered here.
BANK CLEARINGS SHOW AN
ELEVEN; PER CENT GAIN
Recent Rainstorm Failed to Affect
the Great Volume of Business
in ThistCity'' \u25a0'\u25a0?; :
-The recent rainstorm failed to have
an adverse j effect on business, as the
figures given by the California /.Pro
motion Committee show that the bank
clearings for the current . week made
an increase of more than eleven',, per
cent over those of the corresponding
week of, a year ago. :
For • the week ending last Thursday
noon the San Francisco banks cleared
$39,714,019.51, as against $35,701,305.93
for the same week of 1906.
This substantial gain was 1 made de
spite the fact that previous to the
April fire the Oakland clearings were
made through San Francisco, which is
not now the case. If the clearings for
Oakland banks, $2,527,870.35, be added
to those of San Francisco for the cur
rent week, It brings up the grand total
for, 4 the two bay cities to $42,541,889.86.
During 'the weeks the clearings at; San
Jose were $465,024.79. . ' ;

dry In San Francisco will close down
on April 1. This course was decided
upon at a\meeting of laundry owners
held last night, at which the situation
was thoroughly discussed.
The Laundry Workers' Union has an
nounced that a general strike
called on April 1 unless the PJ°PO«d
schedule 13 acceded to prior to that
date. The employer* declare that the
raise demanded Is Impossible, that the
proposed wage scale Is «o**l*f"i*t*

The laundry owners declare "i"
they are willing to sign the scale of
1906, which is nogrln use, and assert
that they have o! their own volition
Increased wages 12 per cent •
this scale has been in effect. Having
figured the cost of operation under the
proposed schedule, the laundry owners
declare that the increase demanded in
hours and wages Is equivalent to 50
per cent, and would not only do away
entirely with all profits, but .would
make It Impossible to conduct their
establishments, without actual loss.
They also object to th^ clauses of the
proposed agreement relating to the
granting of numerous holidays, and
the right to be given the union's agent
to call upon employes during , working
hours for the collection of union as
sessments.
It Is argued that to give the Increase
demanded would raise the cost to such
an extent that laundry prices would
have to be advanced to nearly double
what they are now, and that patrons
would give all their work to the small
nonunion and Japanese laundries.
Between twenty and twenty- five lo
cal laundries are concerned. ln the out
come of the labor trouble; and these
include all the big laundries of the
city. The same demands of the union
and the same stand _of the laundry
owners have been taken In Oakland.
