JAMES D. PHELAN
EXCORIATES DARGIE
"Foul Creature , Dares Impugn
Best Citizenship," Says
Former Mayor
Feels Assured People Will Put
Appellate Court Judges
Out of Office
ALAMEDA. Jan. 14. — "A corrupt ras
cal edits a paper in Oakland. That foul
creature has dared to Impugn the mo
tives of the best citizenship of San
Francisco and of the graft prosecution. \
He published a most damnable libel, ml
which he sought to asperse the honor !
of a. cood mother through the mouth
of an affectionatcson, who is one of the j
men prominent in the prosecution of
the grafter*. Of course, it was a das
tardly and low lived stand, as every
body knows. Why. if a dog of that
Itind were shot down on his own door
step the shooter would be justified un
der the unwritten law."
In these scathing terms James D.
Phelan, former mayor of San Fran
< isco. referred to William E. Dargie,
oditor of the Oakland Tribune, in an
address on San Francisco, delivered be*,
fore a large audience in the First
Christian church tonight. There was
an outburst of applause at this point.
Continuing. Phelan said:
"If we lose our fight for honest mu
nicipal government and honest munici
pal officials in the appellate court, we
will begin the fight all over again, for
our cause is just. And we feel cer
tain that the people will put those
judges out of office when we ask them
to do so. That miserable wretch,
Abraham Ruef. who now languishes in
the county jail, believed that he could
repeatedly corrupt the electorate. He
actually entered into contracts to carry
elections. Peculiar conditions existed
during his reign. Class hatred seemed
for a time to blind the people of San
Francisco to their best interests and
the best interests of their city.
TI3OPI.E RESUME REASON*
"But the last election proved that
the people had come back to the use
of reason. AU were amazed at the
support accorded the graft prosecution
at the polls. The people rose up In
their might for the right and over
turned the .most corrupt municipal gov
ernment that any city in the United
States has ever known. The confidence
of the people is the greatest asset that
the lenders in the movement to rid
t-'an Francisco of corruption and graft
ers have in their fight.
'It often has been asserted that the
l?raft prosecution was a campaign
against- individuals. Every man who
has come within the toils of the law
insists that he has been singled out
for personal reasons and prosecuted to
fauen an enemy's grudge. As a mat
te:- of^ fact, we ail. know that the men
who were indicted were men who had
struck at the very foundations of good
government and obtained by corrupt
means what they never could have ob
tained if the people had the say. When
the news was flashed across the conti
nent that Kan Francisco had jailed the
two arch grafters. Ruef and Schmltz. >
the city was given a -moral uplift the
world over. San Francisco is now in
the process of rebuilding, physicaily
and morally. «and is recovering from
the effects of the loss of Ufeblood that
was drawn from her by the vampire'
grafters.' 1
TKVIV WATER PROJECT
Phelan spoke of the criminal libel i
case of Wi'l Tevis against the Bulle
tin, concluding: • >
"I happen to know all about the wa
t<-r project deal in which Mr. Tevis was
concerned, and know what was pub
lisi.ed about Mr. Tevis' connection with
tl:e scheme to sell to San Francisco for
* 10.000,000 a water project that cost
Mr. Tevis about $300,000 is true. He
vill J«ive to go farther back than the
water deal if he wants to have his
character vindicated. Abe Ruef was
paid $25,000 for the part that he played
in fixing things so that the Hetcli j
Detcfcy valley water project, which was I
paid hy competent engineers to be the J
best project for supplying San Fran- !
Cisco with pure water, was turned j
down by the board of supervisors
owned by Ruef. '.
"After, the Hetch Hetchy valley pro
joct was rejected Ruef and his 6ubser- •
Vjent supervisors called for the sub
mission of other projects for" supply
ing water to San Francisco. Thirteen
wore submitted. These were sifted
tfown to five by Boss Ruef and later to
one project, and that project was the
one behind which was Mr. Tevis."
WOMAN DEFIES THE
BANK COMMISSION

\u25a0 ge. They removed their secretary, J.
Cal Ewing, whose offense consisted ofi
having political friendship for Parde«»
Hunting for more Jobs to give away
the administration commissioners be
thought themselves of the position oc
cupied by Miss Boch. She had never
*rivc:i a moment's thought to politics
and h*r sole offense consists of con
scientious attention to duty over a
period of eight years,'
HITCH IX HIS PI^AAS
!H was intimated in a manner that
could not be misunderstood that it
would be agreeable if Mlsb Boch would
tender her resignation. She did not
resign. Matters came to & climax yes
terday when Commissioner Sherer* as
ascnt for the. administration en
dravored to have the position declared
vacant. Believing that all would go as
ho had planned he had telegraphed to
the prospective appointee to leave at
onoe for San Francisco. But for some •
rrai>6n there was a hitch. Evidently
some members of the commission were '
conscience stricken at the last minute!
and no action was taken yesterday
It appear* that while Sherer is fight
ing for-the removal of Miss Boch, Com
missioner Silver has delayed, his - own I
resignation in order to battle for her
retention. Commissioners Lynch, and
Garoutte are neutral, but ready to act:
when tbe administration snaps the;
whip. There is some hope' for Miss
Boch that Commissioner .Lynch . will
stand by "her and block the attempt to'
remove her. While collector of internal
revenue Lynch gave, employment to
several women in his office, and it was i
his boast that no amount of political
chicanery could induce him to remove
a woman who performed satisfactorily
tlae duties of her office.
It 1* expected that the matter will;
come, up before the. commission again
before the end of the .week. In _th«
meantime Sherer is endeavoring to per
ruado Lynch and Garoutte '•» to stand
witli him out pf^'.'loyalty.to'the Glllett
administration." „•" , .«•- ;
M'isk Boch was reluctant' to discuss
t ho matter, but^ admitted that, the facts
as stated were true. She Is In no sense

POSTOFFICE AN AGENCY
I FOR ASPIRING PUGILISTS
Special Delivery Foreman Both
Fight Promoter and Cigar
Stand Owner
Arthur G. Fisk's administrations- of
the affairs of the San Francisco post
office may be open to afl the criticism
leveled at it by those "fussy citizens"
who insist, on viewing the ; postofflce
from the/ standpoint of services ren
dered the public, but Fisk can success
fully defend against all contenders his
right to be considered the originator
of the idea pf making a special -class
postoffiee an agency for the promotion
of pugilism. ...;>..
.Fisk's connection with the San Fran-,
cisco postofflce has done more than the
commercial activities 1 of Fisk's favorite
subordinates to make it stand but in
the annals of -the postal service on the
Pacific coast. Viewed in the light of a
public utility, the San Francisco post
office has not proved a startling success
under the largely theoretical direction
of Fisk. In the matter.of rapid trans
formation, of men employed as messen
gers and fated "incompetent" into'high
salaried clerks and the development of
subordinate clerks to that -degree of
proficiency whiclr enables -them to hold
down the be«t jobs in the local post
office without material interference
with their management of private com
mercial enterprises, Fisk's record is
different. He* can point to if withr
pride, * - "* - * : '? . .
Tbe employment of the special de
livery, service as «. 'private commercial
and "political ' agency ;is -another- of
Fisk's accomplishments. • But -it .is
when his administration is considered
from I the standpoint of ' a dead game
sport" that Fisk is "there with bells."
Thanks to Fi.<jk, .San Francisco enjoys
the. distinction of being the only city
in the I'n-Wed -States which can boast
of a bureau for the promotion of'pro
fessional pugilism, conducted as an ad
junct of a $6,000 a year postoffiee.
Others may follow; Fisk leads.
When the charges against Fisk
which President Roosevelt has. ordered
probed ;as a condition precedent to
Fisk's confirmation have been investi
gated, public curiosity touching the
presence of the horde of broken down
pports. second rate p\igllists, amateur
aspirants for squared ring fame, and
ring followers, both black and. white,
overrunning tho^ postoffiee corridors
may be gratified, Tf not satisfied.
The pugilistic persons who lined up
in the postoffiee corridors prior to the
smashing of the four round fight game
combination by the Taylor board of su
pervisors did not seek the postoffiee as
a shelter' from . Inclement .weather.
Neither did they select Uncle Sam's
postoffiee as the most desirable and
convenient loafing place. Contrary to
what may have been the popular .opin
ion, they were not loafing. There is no
loafing in the San Francisco postofflce
under Fisk. Fisk's favorite employes
are busy with the management of
their private affairs or with Fisk's po
litical schemes. The other clerks are
kept busy doing the work ; that might
be more evenly distributed under a less
''business like" administration.
The fight followers ; frequented the
postoffiee in quest of their dally bread.
Their presence, :to the incopvenience of
patrons of the, office, if. not to the de
moralization of ; the. : service, \u25a0 was ac
counted for by. the presence of a match
making bureau conducted in connec
tion with " the 4 special delivery service.
Frank Sehuler was foreman of the;spe- ;
clal delivery division. Fchuler . also
was match: maker for, one of. the so
called "amateur" clubs engaged In the
four round fight game until a board of
decent supdrvlsors put the clubs but of
business.. Schuler-.is still ".foreman.- of
the special delivery ; service , and the*
match making business, now. largely , a
futurity proposition,", is: one good ;side
bet to be relied. upon if the supervisors
ever return to a "reasonable" frame bf
mind about: "fake": fight: promoters.
Schuler also conducted a cigar stand
in Mission, street. Either because \u25a0 -he
did not care ttrdevote -any of the time
not paid for by : Uncle Sam to the
"pugs" and the; consequent neglect: of
his cigar, business,^ or because he did
not think the presence of the mitt art
ists at his private place of .business
conducive, to ,the Ibest class , ot 1 trade,
Schuler did not encourage "match mak
ing at the cigar' stand/ The announce
ments .preliminary to the launching, of
the cigar; business laid stress upon- the
opening of a ''first class place by Frank
Schuler.:. mateh \ maker/'. .but/ the; fight
end of his diversified interests. was con
ducted at the , postofflce, where he could
devote more time: to s it. ""

\A/e h^e put the best of
! all laxatives into the best possible
! form.** That is all. Gascarets bring their results
in a natural and gentle way.
Here is a dainty habit-
To keep the bowels clean. •
Do it just the same as yon keep your skin clean. Not by
severe applications, applied at rare intervals. But by gentlo
- and regular efforts.
It pays immensely.
They think of castor oil, of salts, and cathartics.
They shrink from the after-effects— griping and weakness.
; So they postpone the dose until they are costive or bilious. Then they
do the cleaning in a heroic way.
That is all wrong. "
.Cascarets are a gentle laxative. They are just as effective as anything
else, and more natural. __
And they are pleasant— a candy.
They are made to carry with you. Take one just as soon as you need
it. You'll know. "
The result is your bowels are always. active. You always feel at your
best.
Try it. You'll never again go without them.
Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists, but never
~!n bulk. Be sure to get the genuine, with CCC on every tablet. Theprice
