McCartney, who had been a member of the de partment less than four months. John J. Tansey, a picket for the car nien's union, is behind the bars at the city prison charged with killing Mc- Cartney. He maintains that he is in nocent, but the police say that they have a clear case against him. The shooting was entirely unprovoked, ac cording to the story told by Police !rjA" Petor J. Mitchell. McCartney and .'jitchsll were standing at Twenty fourth and Folsom streets shortly after 3 • •clock, and heard sounds of a disturb ance in Howard street, & block away. They went toward Howard and found Tadsey and two companions intoxicated -md making considerable noise. The po licemen told them. to go home and not disturb people, and Tansej' replied:, "I-jpuess this is a free street and we have a right to walk on it." McCartney I put his hand on Tansey's shoulder, tell ing him to go home, and accidentally knocked off Tansej's hat. Tansey and his two friends walked '•along 1 Twent7-fourth street in the dl- Vection ct Howard,, the two policemen foJlowJrjg elowly.

Van Smith Vice President Charles Warren Fairbanks so thor oughly appreciates Califor nians as hosts that he de clines absolutely to take any ! chance of straining the de lightful . relations between himself and the good people of ..this land of sunshine and some delegates by disclosing his? ideas on national ques tions. I never subscribed to the idea that Charles Warren Fairbanks was the- human iceberg his culminators have taken cold delight in paint-, ing him. Had I ever pcr-j mitted myself to be infected; by. this chilly idea the cor-; diality, aye warmth, of the reception I received at the: hands of the vice president yesterday would have effect ed an instantaneous and per manent cure. Fairbanks is : not cold. He is one of those unfortunate bundles ofj warm hearted impulses that go through life wholly mis-: understood because the pack age is done up in an exag gerated oblong shape. Fair banks is so warm that he re
