GIRL DISOBEYS FATHER; IN JAIL IN HONOLULU Contractor Here, in Fear of Oriental Slavery, Causes Her Arrest DISLIKED MONOTONY Pretty Miss Helen Kilgore Left to Escape Home's Quiet Life Miss Helen Kilgore. & pretty young woman of this city. Is under the espion age of the chief of police In Honolulu, and her father, Arthur, Kilgore, a con tractor, living at Green and Jones streets, is anxious to get her back to San Francisco, because he fears his girl -was shangaied. She left without his knowledge or consent and arrived there last Thursday. The story behind the girl's sudden trip to Hawaii was disclosed last night by her father, when the fact became known that he had caused the police here to wire the Honolulu authorities to look out for his girl. ;; , :. Miss Kilgore, the heroine . the escapade. Is a niece of John F.jMerrlll, a wholesale lumber 'dealer. ,She»fchafed under the restraint of uneventful home life, and so for the experience of rlt she engaged . herself as governess in the/famfly of Mrs. Augustus Tilden of Goldfleld. Her father objected to her going to the Nevada camp, but per mitted it when the girl obtained her mother's- consent. Mrs. Tilden planned a trip -to the islands and Miss Kilgore was only too glad to go along, too. Her mother again consented, but her father withheld permission. The girl went without It, and the father, not knowing with whom she had gone, and knowing the fate that sometimes awaits adventurous girls blessed with good looks, feared harm would befall her. She had eluded him in this city and boarded the bark R. P. Rithet alone, so far as he knew. \u0084 On August 19 and before the ship could reach its destination Kilgore went to the police department and asked Chief. Dinan to help him. He said 'he .feared for his. daughter's safety and was » consumed with anx iety about her. So Dinan wired to the chief in Honolulu as follows: "Look out for Helen P. Kilgore, ar rive there on R. P. Rithet. Shanghai ing suspected. Letter follows." According to dispatches received yes terday,- Miss Kilgore was in safe keeping in the island city, but indig nantly demanded to know for what reason she- was being held. When seen last night Kilgore ex pressed regret that his efforts to pro tect his willful daughter had been car ried so far. His cablegram had been misunderstood, he explained. He had merely wanted his daughter watched to prevent any possible harm coming to her. he went on, and had taken the only means at his command. ' He de nied that he suspected ' the companion of his daughter, but declared that . his action had been caused by stories he had read of similar cases where young girls had been carried into oriental slavery- FURUSETH RESIGNS FROM GENERAL STRIKE BODY Vote of Thanks Given Man Who Refused to Attend Committee Sessions For the second time Andrew Furu seth tendered his resignation as a member of the general strike com mittee to the San Francisco labor coun cil last night, and in his communica tion declared he had not attended a meeting of that committee and will not attend any in future. The resigna tion was accepted and he was given a vote of thanks by the council for what he did while a committeeman. Ship and steamboat Joiners' union No. 21 by communication announced that it will not pay any more money to .the general strike *Tund until the committee shall give an Itemized account of ex penditures of money paid in.- A communication was received from Grand President . McNulty. of the elec trical workers asking that -the dele grates from local No. 151 be unseated and that the delegates from No. 664 be seated. It appeared that- since the letter was written there had been a meeting at which the difficulty be tween the two locals had been adjusted and action was deferred for one week. Delegates from the .typographical union' sent a communication -.. asking that a boycott be placed on Ringl ings' circus for patronizing an unfair print-, ing house. ._ A The retail clerks announce that all large retail stores In this; city , will re main closed on Labor day. The stores will remain" open until 10 o'clock .to night. - The usual, meeting of .the , executive committee will- not be held Monday night, . as . that will be a holiday.: The next meeting will be hold on Tuesday. Delegates from" the commercial teleg raphers* union made an appeal .for financial aid. While one- of the com mittee was talking the council ". went into executive session. Delegate George W. Bell introduced a resolution, which, after talks In its favor by Delegates Macarthur and Furuseth, was unanimously adopted. It Is to the effect that the "" authorities should eerve the convenience of the public in permitting the Geary 'street cars to be operated, but that such per mission should be granted only on the «*xpr>6S condition that the platform men are paid $3 a day and bejequlred to work but eight hours. . >*,-' Andrew Furuseth. George :.W. : Bell. G. B. Bcnham, J, W. Sweeney . and W. J. French were appointed - a committee to present the resolution to the super visors.

Sep ***»t>tr Pacific Montblj— now oa ttle X : v • Former Congressman J.G. Maguire Has Diminutive Boom for Mayor Mahoney - Byingtbn Faction May? Be Using "Little Giant" to Gain Power John Taylor Waldorf A little mayoralty boomlet for former Congressman James G. v Maguire is the latest foundjing on the political doorstep. The new arrival, although far from "str9ng, evidently' has been nourished in secret by. some kind, hearted wet^ nurse, of politics 'arid probably is several days: old— just/how many will never be known unless John;F. Murray chooses 1 to tell. Murray, is; standing sponsor for the boomlet. Whenever he meets a friend he, hands out , a little card that reads: "Insist on the ; nomination^of James G. Maguire for mayor. Capable,. conscientious and+consistent." That is all. The card bears no evidence of ; its source, but "as Murray is employed by James H. Barry, suspicions are in order. From Murray and Barry it would be easy '-.to -follow the trail; into the camp of the Mahoriey-Byirigton faction, which was "beaten by the; forces of the democratic county' committee in- the primaries. Murray is the man .who withdrew from the insurgent ticket in. the forty-second district to make room for Maguire. The to taF democratic vote of the district was 31,. and of this number 'Maguire and his two associates, Curtis Hillyer and John 1 , R:\Keritzell, received 19 and. were elected. Nowhere else were the insurgents victorious: On the face of the returns they had • three' delegates and the regulars 161. Now_David I. Mahoney and Lewis "F. Byington, aided by Barry,^who has a grudge against the local democratic organization; are apparently fusing James G. Maguire as a wooden- horse in ithe hope of being- led into the citadel which they have been unable tcrstorm. Like that uncertain insurgent, "Little Dick" O'Connor of-, the' thirty-ninth, they "would sooner be inside looking out than outside looking in." Maguire had been mentioned previously as a possible candidate for district attorney, but un til 1 John F. Murray began to slip around with a handful of cards there was no public suggestion of such a thing as running- the "Little Giant" for mayor. Naturally the regulars are not taking kindly to the plan of the insurgents and will not, adopt '; it, even though Murray, and his friends /"insist" till they choke." *The regulars like Maguire, but only as a man, not as a wooden horse. To take him in and place him in. charge of the commissary would-be to turn the whole democratic fortress over to Mahoney and Byington. WAR IS AMUSING AFFAIR Aside from the Maguire boomlet, which, unless all signs fail, will die of inanition, this, war of regulars and insurgents is an amusing affair. They cannot even" agree- on ". a basis for a plain arithmetical calculation. The in surgents demand recognition and say, "We polled one-third of the votes and want one-third of the offices." In reply the regulars say, "Dream '. again, dear one. You elected three delegates, but Kentzell belongs to us. That leaves you two. As there - are \u25a0 164 - delegates in all. you are entitled to one eighty second part of what we get If we elect" the coroner you shall have the naming of the messenger . for. the morgue. Don't all speak at once." While the row goes on,- delegates elect are discussing possible candidates.' The proposed fusion with the union labor party is a matter of much un certainty and therefore the suggestion of what politicians call .good names serves to pass the time away. Among the men for places on "a straight .ticket, i»; Dan. O'CallaghanJ. the -well : known \ real - estate dealer."; .Wlth^ out consulting' him, some of his friends are proposing him; for county, clerk and predicting a victory, if he accepts. ; For other offices names, have been" brought up as follows: Dr. A. H. Gianninl for coroner, A. B. Maguire for treasurer, M. J. Hynes for public administrator, Gus White for tax collector, Edmond Godchaux for recorder and Larry Dblan for ' sheriff. Of all '\u25a0 those mentioned only Hynes and Dolan are avowed candidates. .' .": Aspirants for places on the cratic ticket will probably tread softly until the fusion question is settled. Some of the labor leaders are opposed strongly to any such combination, and a fight on the floor of the • convention may be necessary to determine' the policy of their party.
