Many Minor Assaults and Numerous Arrests Attend Operation of the Streetcar System
Peace Is His Only Aim and He
Will Have It, Says Gillett
Governor Still Believes That the
Police Can Cope With Situation
•'.-—.-yj. ..'-;. . - . • \u0084..,\u25a0 '\u0084-.-. \u0084 . .'
"So long as the police continue to do |
effective work." said Governoir Gillett
last night, "there will be no interfer-
ence on the part of the state. 1 believe
thai a great majority of the police are
doine ail they can toward maintaining j
peace, and these men should be en-
couraged. \u25a0 i
"There jp no difference between my
Views an-Jv.thcse expressed by Gover
hor Gage. We agree perfectly. Dis
turbances of the peace and occasion-tl
Violations of the law by individuals af
ford no Justification for a call for the
militia. Only insurrection or riots of
too great a magnitude for \fie police to
handle warrantMhe use of troops. _I
do not want to interfere, but if the
city authorities become unable or fail
to cope with conditions growing out of
the present industrial conflict 1 shall
use all the power of the state of Cali
fornia to restore and maintain peace
In San Francisco.
."This is a great metropolis. People
con^e here from all over- the state to
trade, and they must be protected. San
3-""raneisco's citizens must also be pro
tected. AH that the state demands Is
that all persons be protected in the
exercise of their constitutional rights.
That is my aim and I shall retain head
quarters here until conditions again be
come normal."
Governor Gillett spent the greater
part of the day in Berkeley attending
to official business connected with the
University of California: Because af
Jack of time he did not take hier usual
automobile ride along the streets that
hav<> car lines in operation," but he ex
pects to resume his personal investiga
tions today.
Strike Breaker Fined $200
For Carrying a Revolver
Judge Punishes Man Who
Would "Clean Out Town"
The cases of the men arrested Mon
day in connection with the carmen's
Strike were called in the police courts
Jesterday. The most important was
the case of Edward A. Russell, a strike
breaker, who was apprehended in front
of the carbarn at Fillmore and Turk
streets, and charged with carrying a
revolver. Evidence was given before
tolice Judge Cabaniss that Russell re
marked when arrested that if Chief
Dinan would let him carry his pistol he
would soon "clean out the whole town.**
The Judge found Russell guilty, re
marking that he would have some
sympathy for a man who carried a re
volver when he believVd his life was In
danger, but he had no sympathy for a
man who carried a pistol and swag
gered and blustered as though he were
hunting for trouble. Russell was fined
$200 with the alternative of 50 days in
jail, and was taken into custody and
locked up. '.
Isaac Miller, charged with disturb
ing the peace, pleaded guilty in Judge
Cabaniss' court and was ordered to ap
pear for sentence May 22. For dis
turbing the peace Ben Joyner's case

District Attorney Says
Charges Are Unfounded
Denies That Policemen Beat
Strike Breakers
Resolutions passed by the board of
trade* demanding an, investigation by
the police board, the grand Jury and the
district attorney, into the charges of
brutality mad« against - policemen and
officials of the city ' prison strike
breakers were read at the meeting, of
the police commissioners yesterday
afternoon. MBBBKMS
President Leahy said that- Chief
Dinan was getting reports from all the
persons accused, and that from what he
had learned himself he did not think
there was any foundation^ for the
charges. District Attorney <Langdon
was. present in the prison at' the time
of the alleged assault, Leahy, said, and
had told members of the board there
was no foundation for the charges.
Four new policemen were appointed
by the board from the eligible list yes
terday. They are Frank E. CampbelL
Edward John McSheehy. Andrew Walter
Miller and James D. Sullivan.

Cornelius 'Speaks at Mass
Meeting in Labor Temple
Boycott on Car Company Is
Slogan of Union Men
Labor leaders addressed a mass
meeting of the members of the . labor
council last night in the Labor temple,
favoring the boycotting, of the United
Railroads "until the strike is settled.';
Richard Cornelius, president of the
carmen's, union,- -was the leading
speaker. He said ; that WV D.' Mahon,
representing the carmen's national : or
ganization, could not be present owing
to Illness, but that Mahon had sent
word to the . delegates to the council
that if the 90,000 union men and their
families of this city would refuse to
ride on the cars the strike would . ; be
won. Following up this argument
Cornelius said that no matter/ how
stubborn Calhoun might be in this con
troversy, he must produce dividends or
gain the il| will of the stock holders of
the company, and that without the
patronage of the union men and their
families he would not be able to show
profits.
Several other speakers, including
President Bell and Secretary McCabe
of the labor council, supported the sen
timents expressed by Cornelius. No
one but union leaders and delegates to
the council was present at the meet
ing.
