to tbi- cadre order In the state to tare
a shelter for the 34 aged folk who are
swatting the last call in the Institution
at 173 C Golden Gate avenue.
These crippled, childish and hope
lessly sick dependents of the home can
not go to any other institution In the
city. Hospitals are closed to them be
cause they are incurable. The doors
of public charity houses likewise are
shut, as they are not destitute. Be
sides, they have paid the King's Daugh
ters* circle for care during their re
maining days. And so. facing this
situation, with funds almost complete
ly exhausted, the managers of the home
have transferred to their state officers
the task of standing between their
helpless charges and the street.
decide: cpo>' ax 'appeal
Mrs. M. S. Low, president :of the
home circle, summoned' Mrs. Matilda
Brown, the state secretary, to. a con
ference at her home in McAllister
street yesterday, ilrs. Jennie Coop,
the state treasurer, also came over
from Oakland for the meeting, and
with Mrs. E. H. Cofer, vice president
of the board of managers, the three
discussed the problem of preventing
the extinction of the institution. They
decided finally that an appeal directed
to all the King's Daughters in Cali
fornia was the only means of keeping
tho home in existence. The order will
hold a convention across the bay two
weeks hence, and then the predicament
f Z the institution will be presented to
' she delegates.
For six months the board of- managers
of the home has been in difficulties.
The fire In April. 1906, destroyed the
building in which the circle's aged
<-]«?pendents were housed in Francisco
street. This structure had been the
\u25a0 lomicile of the Scandinavian old peo
ple's home. The King's Daughters pro
cured it for their incurables virtually
Tiee of charge, but the conflagration
came and involved it in the general
ruin.
That was the first disaster. Swiftly
following came one for which King's
Daughters of outside* circles are
blamed.
PHUjAATHROPY DISCOURAGED
Misses Helen and lsabelle Cowcll,
daughters of the wealthy cement mer
chant, had been generous patronesses
of the home. In memory of their' sis
ter. Miss Sarah Co well, who had been
an ardent \u25a0worker In the order, they
f offered to build a $100,000 home for
the patients In the institution. Land
In Richmond was purchased. Plans
vrerv completed and Miss lsabelle Cow
ell went to Portland to select a i par
ticular kind of ornamental brick which
£he fancied.
Just &t this period several daughters,
whom th* ofScers of the home call
\u25a0'busybodles/' Interfered. They wanted
to know why persons such as the
Cowells, who were not members, of the
order, were permitted so much voice
In the management of the home's af
fairs.
That ended It. The Misses Cowell
went to Europe. They are over there
yet and the offer to build the handsome
and costly etructure lias been with
drawn.
LOSE A |C 5,000 BEQUEST
Then came another blow. After a
legal battle lasting s eeveral years the
superior court decided two months ago
that the home sheltering the Incur
ables was hat entitled to a bequest of
125.000 left by Mrs. J. M. Sharp. Mrs.
Sharp originally had made the amount
J 50,000. Eighteen days before her
death she cut this In half, writing her
revision . Into the original will. Upon
thin technicality, coupled with the fact
that the work of the , institution was
not wholly charitable, the court de
cided against the home.
Throughout this year of continual
mishaps the managers of the home have
been forced to draw on the meager
'unds it had left after, the fire. The
circle received only a small part of the
insurance on the furnishings of the
Francisco street home. When this was
used in paying the high rent demanded !

Hints at Trouble in the

- "The trouble lies with the San Fran

pnrcbase our power, of nhlcli It in Im
possible to procure a sufficient quan
tity. ' A» soon as their three gam en-
Sines nre put inlo proper condition we

than tlie 300 we arc runnlns uou. We
hnve plenty of cars and plenty of men,
but tt e - lack the ntccntmry povrcr."-^
Statement of Thornwoll Mnllally.
"Tbat statement Is false. Our three
engines ' are in excellent condition and
bare been right along:, to my knowl
edse. Before the strike our enslntit
were then ' In the I same \u25a0; condition - as
they are now, and we have no plans
for increasing their number. The
United -Railroads is taklnie 3,000 .to
4,000 horsepower less now than it did
before the strike of the carmen was
called."— Statement of John A. Britton.
John A. Britton, president" of the San
Francisco electric company, yesterday
i directly, contradicted Thornwell Mul
lally,- assistant ;tb Patrick Calhounl
.president* of-the United RailroadßV' who
had declared before the joint commit-;
tee. of the > board ,. of \u25a0 supervisors ; that to
insufficient, power service, on Uhe^part
of that company was. due the Inefficient
serrics; given by the trolley company
and that the, staggering aggregate of
fatalities reported toVthe^supervisors
sprung from' the same source. \u0084
Britton said that -Mullally's statement
; regarding the gas englnes L of ;his com
pany was falae. called attention to the
two "power houses j that;., the United
'\u25a0 Railroads owns and said that the trol
ley 7 company. was taking. from 3,000 to
' 4,000 horsepower- less ' than the
strike.
Mullally's testimony before the su
pervisors threw all the onus for .the
; lack of cars upon, the power company
I and declared that -as soon as the gas
| engines.; of that company were fixed
I up/200 more trolley, cars ; would be
! added to the SOO now. in , use, but that
i until this source of power .were made
i all -.that it -should be the service .would
: remain"' lnadequate, as it w?.h impose
slble ito get 'more; power from present
sources. .. I
*/ Brititon saj's that, the San. Francisco
electric company has *no > plans for the
extension of v its \u25a0 plant. ;; Ho was most
reticent. and refused, he said, to argue
the question . with the United Rail
roads through the j medium of a news
paper, but lie revealed basis facts re
garding the alleged inability, of the
j trolley company to: secure more power.
L Mullally's statement; that '. the elec
i trie .'; company." was: at fault for the
\u25a0 Bhortavg"*, as the ; cars :: and men were
available and only the power was lack
inj?,; was "cast : back In -his teeth " by
Britton, said definitely ; that the
I United ..; Railroads'; was; -taking less
| power -b"y 'as much as 4,000' horsepower
than beforeyme strike. 'Calling atten
tion to the two power, houses, of the
trolley company in', this : connection,
Britton seemed to Infer that an in
vestigation; of ; conditions there would
"reveal the source : of 'the alieged power
famine, ' the blame for which . Mullally
had'east upon Britten's company.
To obviate the - inconvenience and
danger of death ': which the public is
undergoing: through -lack of cars, : Mul-
I lally sees only 'the building of a power
plant' costing $2,600,000 and which
! might take a year sto complete.
| ; On 4,000 horsepower, according to
an r employe of •',. the trolley company,*
I from 40 to 50 cars could'f be operated.
This would * indicate^ that the present
j shortage of . 200 cars, with - wh!ch the
j United; Railroads admits -it could; "solve
i the \u25a0 traffic ; situation, is due; either to
its Inability to purchase the 4^ooo
horsepower.; from • the San Francisco
electric or the : -\u25a0 inefficiency
of ' its own; power : hotwes, to ; which the
; employes jof the \u25a0 trolley, lines . trace the

FRIENDS OF GOOD

OUT FOR TAYLOR
Ryan's Boomers Are Forced
to Admit Strength
of the Mayor
LABOR VOTE IS SPLIT,
Many Unionists Are Break

". Party Ticket
against McCarthy
Polls Taken in Business Dis
trict Show Popularity
of Incumbent
George A. Van Smith
That the candidacy of Edward
:Robeson Taylor has the indorse
ment and support of a majority of
the friends of good government in
San Francisco has been made so
indisputably apparent that even
the most optimistic of the Ryan
boomers are forced to admit the
mayor's strength?
Their admissions are ' painful
and made to carry a labored cx
! planatiom The Ryanitcs admit
I that if the election were held to
jday Hr. Taylor would be elected.
; but they declare this admitted
fact is due to the delay in the prosecu
tion of the Ryan campaign. They In
sist that Dr. Taylor is now at tha
limit of his strength and that when
Ryan begins _hS whirlwind campaign
the Taylor sentiment will die out -and
be succeeded by "a popular clamor for
Ryan.
The Immediate followers of Ryan
persist in their assertions that the la
bor vote "deflected from .McCarthy will
be cast almost solitily for Hyan. Th«
most cursory investigation of the atti
tude of the union labor men who ar«
openly oppysed to McCarthy does not
serve to bear out this contention. In
stead of being supporters of Kyan a
majority of the union labor m«.i who
are openly anounctng their intentions
of breaking away from the union labor
ticket are for Taylor. Prominent union
labor men are co-operating with tha
Good Government league's campaign
committee and a very large percentage
of the signers o* the petitions for tbo
nomination of Dr. Taylor and his good
government ticket were union labor
men.
There Is. too. a disquieting sisrntfl
cance in the fact that P. H. McCarthy,
union labor candidate for mayor, has
not thought it worth his while to de
vote any of his campaign oratory li
Ryan or the Ryan ticket. It is one of
the strongest evidences that McCarthy
does not fear Ryan. From which may
be deduced that McCarthy believes th.it
the defected union labor vote will b9
cast for Taylor.
That there is a large disaffected
union labor vote, no one attempts to
deny -and the disaffection is based on
several grounds. Much .of It Is di
rected' at McCarthy personally, bat
more of It is caused by an earnest de
sire for good government, stable con
ditions and resultant full dinner pails.
McCarthy's arbitrary rule of the build
ins trades council has made enemies
for him In his own organization and th«
almost continuous warfare between
himself and the labor council bids faii
to develop a heavy anti-McCarthy vote
