IS DENOUNCED BY PRESS
Interior : Papers Point Out
Inconsistency of. the
New Alliance
PRAISE FOR MAYOR
Say Attacks of Examiner
Almost Insure Taylor's
Election
The press of the state has united In
denunciation of the Hearst-Ryan com
bination in San Francisco politics. It
takes the attitude that the Examiner
is thoroughly Insincere in Its support
of Ryan, points out its inconsistency
In backing up a man of whom, but a
faw weeks ago. It could not find enough
harsh things to say, and accuses Hearst
of trying to control San Francisco poll
tics. In this connection the Modesto
Herald says:
Hranst apparently falls to* reallz* that he is
"down asd out" In California politics, and. with
fatuous bllndoen hopes to pull through Ryan In
th<? trlanpular fight and dominate tho adminis
tration by virtus of pre-election coreaants and
the consummation thereof.
."Rough on Ryan" is the opinion of
the San Luis Oblspo Breeze, which
says:
Mr. Ryan deseeres a better fat* "anil he earns
a certain sympathy because be . makes himself
the Tictlm of . tbe grotesque adrocacy of ' a
mountebank who would exploit him to terre a
personal ambition.
The Visalla Times says:
The San Francisco Examiner came out with a
long editorial favoring the candidacy of Daniel
A. Ryan for mayor of that city. That Is good
news. It almost Insures tbe election of Taylor.
It Is characteristic of tbe Examiner that It Is
now lined up against practically every Interest
which desires to nee San Francisco rescued
from the dloreputable municipal government
which baa handicapped jthat city for several
years past. .-.'\u25a0\u25a0
The Sierra Times handles thejmat
ter in this vigorous, manner: ' >
As a matter of fact San Francisco needs more
poetry and -less pugilism; more literature and less
license; more Homer and W-ss ot bell and Hearst,
and If there is a man - who Is educated on tee
decent lines Indicated, he ought to be selected.
By tbe way, Willie, what wet your price? -
The San Bernardino- San has diffi
culty In classifying Hetfrst, saying:
The San Francisco Examiner has Indorsed Dan
iel A. Ryan for mayor. Hearst baa been every
thing else, but his antics In New York and San
Francisco Indicate that be is finally trying to be
what might be ~ classified as an anti-Roosevelt
republican. If such, a thing as that Is possible.
The Fresno Republican has little
faith in > the* ability of the . Examiner
to influence voters, as the following
from Its columns will show:
As to tbe future, we can not see that the Ex
aminer's support can turn to Ryan any rotes
that would naturally have gone to Taylor.' We
are not sure that it can turn any sort of rotes;
but If it can, they will be likely to be labor
unionists turned from McCarthy to Ryan. There
may be some advantage in that, eren if It
changes Rran from a bad third to a lame sec
ond. However, the reverse effect of tbe Ex
aminer's support on partisan republicans, who
were tli« bulk of Ryan's strength. Is more than
likely to counteract any positive influence wits
tbe laboring men.
ARMY OFFICERS MEET
THE ROUGH RIDER TEST
General Funston Leads on
Spirited Charger in
Trial at Presidio
Like the king -of France, who
marched his men up the hill, "then
marched them down again, General
Funston yesterday rode eight miles
with his officers and then rode .eight
miles back again. This made 16 miles
that the officers rode in order to fulfill
the endurance test prescribed by Pres
ident Roosevelt. The test was a com
plete success, the officers riding out
from the parade; grounds. General Fun'
ston at their head on a spirited
charger, at 2:30 p. m., and returning
at 6. Among the riders who took part
was Major Samuel W. Dunning, who
Journeyed all the way from Honolulu
In order to 'qualify.' U© will return on
the next trip of the transport Buford.
The others who rode w^re: Colonel
Alfred Ileynolds, Lieutenant Colonel
George F. Cooke, Major D. A. Freder
ick, Major J. P. Kreps and Major R. B.
Turner.
OFFICERS MAY BE RETIRED
Failure 40 Take the Test Ride Brings
Out New Order
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.-^-None of the
army officers who failed to take the
test ride prescribed by the president
will be retired .as long as he is physic
ally fit to perform the military duties
he at present performs. An order was
issued by the war department today
requiring an even dozen of these offi
cers to appear before a retiring board
at tho Washington barracks on Novem
ber 2. This does not by any means rep
resent the total number of officers who
did not take tbe test ride, and others
will be ordered from time to time be
fore the same board, for it Is the pur
pose of* Acting Secretary Oliver to
avoid any charge of discrimination as
between different boards by requiring
all of the officers referred tp to ap
pear before one tribunal governed by
on« set of instructions. EBBB&
This retiring board, unlike the ordi
nary board. Is not. to Inquire Into the
physical fitness of the officers who ap
pear before it for any and all kinds of
military duties. It will be Instructed,
however, to consider and report upon
the ability of the officer to discharge
the duties upon which he Is at present
engaged. Thus the continuance In act
ive service . of an engineer of great
ability in the conduct of river and
harbor works is assured, although he
may be unable physically to ' ride a
horse, 15 miles over a battlefield.

Gossip in Railway Circles /.
W. R. McKeen, superintendent of nfo
tive power and machinery- of the Union
Pacific, is repenting of his generosity
to a victim of his fast autoraobiling.
McKeen has the reputation of being
able to get more speed. out of his ma
chine than any man living, and ono
day he ran over' a man.
He jumped out and satisfying him
self that the man was not killed felt
even more relieved ; 'when he^ learned
that the injured person worked , in his
shops.
"Well, old chap," said McKeen cheer
ful ly!'- "it- is really, too bad, but you
know it was purely- an ! accident, and
I would not have had \u25a0 it- happen for
worlds. I tell you what I'll do. " Don't
worry, for your salary will run on as
usual and I'll pay you for the time you
are In the* hospital out of my own
pocket." yJSg|§| \u25a0.-; . '.:"•'
The workman expressed himself as
delighted with McKeen's generosity
and said he would not; forget .to make
out his bill and send it to him.
He did. But what was: McKeen's
surprise when he received. an account
which ran so many dollars for so many
days; one and one-half ..times of ; .the
regular pay for being in. the hospital
overtime at ' night, \u25a0 and ddublo : pay for
being In the hospital on Sundays.

SUED FOR A "DIVORCE
Complaint Filed Against Him
Recites Story of Un
usual Brutality
That her husband • beat her with a
baseball bat so mercilessly that her
skin was discolored for more than four
weeks is one of the many allegations
of cruelty contained in a divorce,com
plaint filed :?; by Karolina ..; Akerhjelm

The wife further 'assets that while
they were, living as.refugees in the i
house of " a friend « her \u25a0 husband threw
in her face ; a" plate containing. his meal.
Following the plate^ and its contents
he threw a knife and fork at her. This
was," done : while* the members of the
family with which they were
w«fe sitting at , the : table! She also
accuses him of having; flourished, a re
volver and of having threatened to
kill her. He also f squandered their
savings in' drink. At night he would
go to bed with a bottle of whisky
and a demijohn ! full of , wine at the
bedside. Akerhjelm is a beer bottler.
Jennie Loughran was beaten by her
husband, Thomas, -for the most trivial
reasons, she alleged in a suit for di
vorce yesterday. Once he struck her
in the , face with his 7 fist because his
brother had lost his -hat. He also
found fault in the same violent man
ner _with her .cooking. Because some
beans were not cooked to hlfijtaste he
seized he^r by the arm and •^wrenched it.
As another \u25a0 Instance Cof ; Loughran's
cruelty his wife charges that he struck
herein -the face when . she wished to
visft her ; father, who was dying. The
Loughrans were married , in San Fran
cisco in May, 1907. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0-, ],
