entered Into a conspiracy last spring; to

nnd of the conciliation committee which
| Jahored to end the etrlfce.
Jacobs «a! 4h« learned that both Cel

P. H. MrCarthy. president of the build

on the PCCHtatlon that lie v.-«« planning

fiEe of the conferfm-e between Kchmltx
and Bowling and Srhrnlts and Calhoun
fir>m v member «>f the carmen's union.
*nd »-M< <l thnt he wns not at liberty
to give the name of his Informant.
!l»gar<l!n£ the published stntement
from which It wrb deduced that
Pchmlta. Howling and Calhoun con
spired to bring on the car strika to pro
mote their selfish ends, Jacobs Insued
the following statement last evening:
"Regarding the statement in today's
Bulletin quoting me In connection with
the origin of the oar strike, the same
In fceneraJ I* enbstantlally correct- The
Inference that I formed frorfl the state
ment of Bchmlts was that he had held
several conferences with Calhoun.
Whether Howling wnn present at these
conferences 1 do not know, but the
conferences between Dowllng and
Fchmltß, unknown to the carmen's
union or the executive committee, did
take place, and the fact remains that
after the*e conference!! Bowling became
the leader of the strike element in thn
rat-men* union and virtually forced tho
strike, which resulted In <•>> much loss
to every one connected with It.
«t"«rr:cTi3i) motivib
"Whether Calhoun, Fchinlta and Bow
ling had their conference all together,
or whether Bchtntts weht Into confer
ence with Bowling alone, after his con
ference with Calhoun, Is something
that I know nothing about. One thing
I* certain, that It was a foregone* con
rluoion before the etrlke started that
public opinion would be against the
etrlke and that the men would lose,
end it became apparent to aoma of
tho»e In connection with the concilia
tion committee work that some ulterltr
motive wan responsible for lite strike.
Tt was aluo conveyed to me, as secre
tary of the conciliation committee, from
different eourcen, that several so'called
labor leader*, representing the Bchmltt
clement. * had determined to force In
dustrial strife on all tides for purposes
he»t known to themselves, and It was
"nly by ih e determined action and
effects of the conciliation committee,
neUhg In conjunction with the doneerv
nllve labor leaflets of San Frknclsco.
that their e.ffortß were neutralized and
Ihelr proposed Actions prevented. I
have always felt that It was too bad
that the rank and file of the cumen
liad to suffer for" the misdeed*, or oth
»f», end that the^general business of
the city also had to Buffer.
Jacobs added upon being questioned
that he conoidered It a auspicious cir
cumstance that Dowllng, who, he
Rtterwmrd learned, wee not acting
under authority of the executive com
mittee of Ihe union, should have con
ferred trilh echmiiß on the «trlke
question prior to the strike, and fur
thermore thai he should have kept the
fact of that conference eecret from hi*
fellow officials and that Schmlts had
been reluctant to admit the fact of the
conference.

SHANGHAIED FIREMAN
FIGHTS FOR LIBERTY
Hupo Hitter, fireman, who was
shanghaied and put on board the Brlt
lnh nhlp Blackbraes, appeared In PoUcw
Judge Cabanlsa' court yesterday on a
charge of assault with a deadly
weapon. Anton Emauunlson. a sailor
on board the British ship Black Iris,
appeared on a charge of disturbing
tho prace. Both oases wore dismissed.
Policeman Hanrahan, who mado tho
arrests, saw Rltter and Emanuelson
fighting In Hast street near Market
shortly before midnight Friday, and
found that Hitter bod cut Emanuelson
In the light hand with a knife. The
wound was treated at the harbor hos
pital. ISmanuclson refused to swear
to a complaint against Rltter.
After tln> rn.ii'a were dismissed Rtt>
tor eald he believed Hint ISmanuelson
and two other men wcro sent out by
the boarding houeo master who shang*
halod him to pick a quarrel with him
and "do him up." While he was, hi
Hanson's snloon in East street near
Market the trio came In and started a
conversation with him on unionism.
Hitter told them he was a union man,
and Kmanuelson called him a liar and
struck him In the eye. Thny wore
hustt<*d out of the ealoon and Emanuel
son ngaln struck him while they were
on the sidewalk, and Rltter pulled out
his ftheftth knife and cut ISmauuelson
on the hand.
I ahould characterise this statement by
a shorter and atronger word.
"The fact Is that I have had no meet-
Ings, secret or otherwise, with Bowling,
cither alone or In conjunction with
Mayor Schmlte, either before the strike
or since, t have not even spoken to
him during my present stay In t»an
Francisco.
"The animus of the evening organ of
the socalled graft prosecution is ap
parent. The cases against the officials
of the Untted llallro&d* are act for trial
for next week, and therefore,' with
characteristic mendacity, this organ
eeeks now* to inflame public prejudice
against us."
When questioned on the report of a
conspiracy, Jamu Howling eald: "I
have nothing t« Bay in; the mattor. I
must refer you to the general strike
committee.", »

union, refused to discuss the matter at

DISCUSSES INDIANS'
RELIGION IN BULLETIN
Professor Kroeber of Univer
sity Prepares Interest- •;
» ing Paper
.BERKELEY, Sept. 7.— The religion of
the Arapaho Indians Is discussed at
length In a bulletin by Professor A. L.
Kroeber, issued by the university.
The '\u25a0 sun dance, the most important
ceremony of - the eastern tribes, was
witnessed' by Professor Kroeber and
la described with , photographic illus
trotions of a number of the most sig
nificant acts in the elaborate ritual.
Professor Kroeber gave particular at
tention to the modern worship con
nected with the peyote or mescal bean.
This plant is a small cactus growing
near the Rio Grande river. , It contains
a "; powerful drug, which has a marked
stimulating and exhilarating effect on
the mind, different from the intoxica
tion produced by any other known
drug. In connection . with the eating
of this plant, a complicated system of
ceremonies has grown up among the
Indians. Professor Kroeber was per
mitted twlca to Join in the all night
ritual as a participant, and in addition
to describing; his experiences has given
the opinions and statements of a num
ber, of C lndians 'versed in this branch
of 'their religion. '-
• ;The results • of; the paper are con
densed In a summary reviewing the dif
ferent methods of thought followed by
the Indians "In their religious beliefs
and -practices.- Numerous ideas are
shown -to have been , combined . into an
extensive system of "religion, this
is : full of contradictions, of which the
Indian is unaware.
s Mr. Sapir.the recently appointed re
search assistant . in the . department of
anthropology," has returned from a two
months' trip to Shasta county for study
of the Tana Indians and investigation
of t their' language. He has brought
back valuable Information as to the
structure \u25a0 of the language, which he is
now about to prepare with a view to
publishing..

MAYOR WILL TRY TO END
PARK LAND CONTROVERSY
Mott to Offer $500,000 for
Adams Property at
Lake Merritt,
SUITS "THREATENED
If Owners Decline to Sell,
City Proposes to Have
It Condemned v
OAKLAND, Septl T. — Mayor Mott
hopes to s*ttl« th» controversy be
tween the city and Edson F. Adaras
and John Charles Adams over th«
Adams point property on Lake Merrlt:
during the coming week. An adjust
ment probably will not be effected ou:
of court, but the mayor will try t^>
r«aeh an agreement with th« owner*
of the property regarding Its purc^ffj*
for the public park system. F!v» hun
dred thousand dollars or about tha:
sum will b« offered to the Adaxsse?.
Should they refuse the city will begin
condemnation proceedings a: one*.
Ths wooded portion of Adams point
forms the key to the proposed chain
of parks and boulevards around tha
lake. Owing to a diffaronca of opin
ion as to the value of the land th«
Adamses have decltned^to give title t->
the city. On the other hand Mayor
Mott has obtained appraisements from
a number of prominent realty hasdl«rs
and the figure has been set at which
the city will take the land. The mayor
said today that he was confident that
In the - event of a suit the city \u25a0would
have no trouble in establishing a valua
tion within tho allotment from th*
bond issue for the purchase of the
point acreage. BiISS
Tha controversy over th# Adams
point property has reached a climax.
The bonds will be ready for delivery
next week. The proceeds of their sale.
$992,000, will bo turned over to the
city and a speedy acquisition of t&e
several park sites Is desired, by the
municipal administration. Opposition
exists only at Adams point, and city
officials admit that condemnation pro
ceedings may be necessary. If that
be the case City Attorney McElroy win
be requested to press the suit to aa
early decision. ,
- The land Involved adjoins the Edson
Adams plat, over which litigation haj
been started by Adaras in the- superior
court. This plat Is desired t-f-fhe
city as a part of the general Lake 3aer
rltt park schema of Improvement.' It
borders the lake and Is the only front
age which the city will not control
after the point property has been ac
quired. In order to complete the chain
a resolution of intention has been in
troduced In the city council, giving no
tice that the city purposes to takf i':»
plat also. Adams desires to *put tr.*
land on the market for residence site-.
He ha 3 asked a writ of mandate is
force the city council to accept a n:p_>
of the \u25a0 plat he has filed. This nv>v,->
will be resisted by the city on tiv»
1 ground that the people want the lar-*
for the general good and that this w-;u
require Adams to accept -a fair "pur
chase price for it.
