CLEMENCEAU AND
CABINET RESIGN
Exciting Scene in ihe Chamber
of Deputies Precedes Defeat
of Government
Confident of Majority Premier
Loses His Head and Makes
the Fatal Mistake
Continued from Pag-* 1
with the right and extreme left,; un
horsing the man whose ministry had
been the longest in the history of the
third republic, and who for three years
has been absolute master in France.
More than 60 members of the ma
jority, enough to have saved the day,
were absent when the vote was taken.
Who Will Be Premier
The fall of the cabinet" was so un
expected that the political world is
completely at se,a as to who will be
Clemenceau's successor. . President Fal
liexeg will consult with the presidents
of the chambers tomorrow. The name
of Leon Bourgeois, former premier and
former minister of foreign affairs, is
most frequently mentioned, but his age
and health are against him. M. Breland,
inlijster of justice, and M. Delcasse are
also mentioned.
The socialists are overjoyed at Cle
menceau's downfalL M. Joures, the so
cialist leader in the chamber, said:
"With Clemenceau disappears the
most dangerous man In the republic."
\u25a0 The cabinet which has Just resigned
was formed October 23, 1906, and was
reorganised January 4, 3 908. It fol
lowed the cabinet of which M/Sarrlen
was premier, and M. Clemenceau the
minister of the Interior.
Report on Navy Scandals
The chamber of deputies March 25
unanimously adopted M. Delcasse's mo
tion to appoint a parliamentary com
mission to inquire Into the state of the
navy before fresh credits were voted.
The commission's report was a scath
ing condemnation of the naval admin
istration. It made an astounding ex
posure of the deplorable condition of
the fleet for which France had spent
J700.000,000 since 18*9.
It contained details of the inefficiency
resulting from confusion and red tape,
pointing out that snips were equipped
with guns of ancient model; that
shells of a type condemned after seri
ous accidents were still being manu
factured; that there was no drydock
capable of accommodating battleships
now being: built, and that there was a
lack of reserve coal and ammunition
supplies
The debate has born acrimonious, and
M. Mlnchell. reporter of the commis
sion, a few days ago strongly de
nounced the government's naval policy
and declared that the public wanted to
know why, in spit« of the enormous
sum? appropriated. France had dropped
from second to fifth place among the
naval' powers.
Career of Clemenceau
Eugene Georges Benjamin Clemen
oeau, the retiring premier, was born in
IS4I. After obtaining his diploma as
a dootor of medicine at Paris, he real
ized that his pronounced political opin
ions would, as long as Napoleon 111
remained upon the throne. Inevitably
Interfere with his career in France.
So he came 5 o the United States In
1866, lived for a time in New York,
and then became teacher of a French
girls* academy at Greenwich, Conn.,
where he met Miss Mary Plummer,
whom he married.
Returning to France a few years
later, he was elected a member of the
chamber of deputies. He became the
recognized chief of the extreme left,
and in turn opposed all of the repub
lican ministers and contributions to
the fall of the De Freyclnet and Jules
Ferry cabinets.
METAL EXCHANGE WILL
REVISE SOME METHODS
Quotations to Be Based on Ac
tual Transactions -
NEW YORK, July :o.— Following the
recommendation of the White commit
tee to Governor Hughes' the reform
committee of the New York metal ex
change proposes in the report which It
has submitted to the board of managers
that the quotations should be estab
lished by actual transactions, as on
other exchanges of the- highest order,
and therefore urges discontinuance of
the present daily quotations made by
the committee of five of the metal ex
change, which were criticised In the re
port of the special committee appointed
by Governor Hughes.. *
The report of the reform committee
further advocates: • \u25a0 -- •
The establishment In this city of a
standard copper system under which
all the present brands of copper —
"electrolytic," "lake" and . "casting" —
be included under the one term of
"standard copper." subject to the fol
lowing specifications as to delivery on
contract. \u25a0- . •. --,
Sellers will have the option of mak
ing deliveries either In:
Class A — Refined copper, assayed at
not less than 9J»,per cent, and below
99.30 per cent In actual contract price.
Class B — Refined copper, assaying not
less than &9.30 per cent and below
89.80 per cent at one-tenth cent per
pound above contract price. •
Class C — Assaying not less than
59.60 per cent at >i cent per pound
above contract price.
Class D — Rough copper, subject to
a rebate of % cent per pound from
contract price.
It Is believed by the members of the
committee that under this system there
could be no corner In metal. It Is
hoped by . the establishment -of this
standard to make New York in time
the copper center of the world, *It be
ing pointed out that in 190S 55.4. per
cent of the copper yield of the world
was In this country.

"In two years," was the quick and
decisive answer.

Crocker and Fickert Receive Indorsement
Republican Clubs Plan Campaign for Mauzy
CANDIDATES
ARE NAMED
Slated for Mayor and
City Attorney
J J
For mayor, William Crocker, retired
mlllman. '
For district attorney, Charles •M.
FickerL
These were the candidates formally
indorsed yesterday for republican nom
ination by # the businessmen's execu-
tive committee of 25.
Having chosen . its candidates for
mayor and • district attorney the ex
ecutive committee suspended further
selections for indorsement until next
Tuesday afternoon. When tho com
mittee meets again at the St. Francis
hotel it will receive a report from a
special committee on the comparative
fitness and availability of the aspirants
for republican nomination to the
board of supervisors.
Y>sterday's meeting of the executive
committee demonstrated that the
unanimity of opinion prevailing touch
ing the desirability of indorsing
Crocker and Fickert did not extend to
all other matters of policy. The 22
members present divided 11 to 11 as
between Percy V. Long and Benjamin
L. McKlnley for city attorney. A reso
lution providing for the indorsement
of an entire ticket was laid on the
table. The author of that resolution
also told the committee that, in his
opinion, the field of candidates for
some of the offices was of such a char
acter that the committee should make
no Indorsements In those cases.
CROCKER AXD FICKERT INDORSED
When the committee met at 2 o'clock
only Captain William Matson, Jere
miah Looney and B. L Davis were ab
sent. The formal indorsements of
Crocker for mayor and Fickert for
district attorney were made without
debate or dissent.
Colonel Francis V. Keesling presented
a resolution providing for the indorse
ment of a complete ticket. The resolu
tion developed a difference of opinion
not in line with the announcements of
the politicians, who had given it out
that they had a majority of the com
mittee lined up for a full ticket.'
While a majority of the members of
the executive committee may have no
personal interest in the aspirations of
some of the candidates for sheriff, re
corder, treasurer, coroner, police judge
and public administrator, "that lack of
Interest does not run to the entire mem
bership. For some of the nominations
there are six candidates and for others
seven. The friends of sorrfe of these
candidates want their friends indorsed;
the friends of others prefer that no in
dorsements be made If their own friends
are not to be the beneficiaries of those
indorsements.
RESOLUTION- IS TABLED •
Colonel Keesling, who offered the
resolution.: calling for the. indorsement
of an entire ticket, told the committee
that the candidates for at least one of-»
flee were of a characterthat Justified no
indorsement. He was asked by J. D.
Spreckels Jr. to designate, the office or
the candidates, but declined to do so.
The committee charged with securing
a certified list of candidates entitled to
places on the republican ballot had re
ported that 15 petitions, had not been
verified by the registrar, and the resolu
tion to indorse a complete ticket was
laid on the table. . . " . .';>]
The attempted 'selection of a candi
date for city attorney developed a tie
vote. A paper ballot was decided upon.
There was no presentation of names,
the committeemen writing, their prefer
ences on slips of paper. A canvass of
the vote showed that 11 were for City
Attorney Percy V. Long and 11 for
Benjamin L. McKlnley, an attache of
the United States attorney's office.
The committee charged with the
preparation of a statement of the pur
poses of the committee to be given to
the public did not make its report
Chairman Walter Bacon said that the
statement would be forthcoming when
the committee had definitely decided
what it purposed to do. He also ' ex
plained that the statement would not
be in the nature of a. platform and
that It would contain nothing to which
candidates Indorsed by the committee
would be expected: to subscribe. .
- A supervisorial committee was ap
pointed, consisting of A.! G. McCarthy,
Rudolph Herold Jr. and Paul M. Nip
pert, and was Instructed to report to
the adjourned meeting next Tuesday.
This committee Is expected to conduct
such investigations as Us members may,
deem proper and to give the whole
committee the benefit of .<its;investiga
tions and recommendations. .

.THE SAN: FRANGISCO^CA^ 190&
Anti-McNabites Will -iGbntest Contrb
Of the Democratic Gonventioh
The munlcipaMgague of independent
republican clubs Is preparing to launch
a vigorous campaign, for Byron Mauzy
and the rest of its primary ticket. At
a meeting, held yesterday afternoon in
the headquarters of the league in the
Mills building, the organization of .a
finance committee . was started and it
was "determined to strengthen , the dis
trict clubs as much as possible.
The meeting was attended by the
members of the advisory committee, of
which George E. Crothers is chairman,
and by the members of the campaign
committee, which is headed by Dr.
William J. Jackson.
The fact that the petitions of the
various candidates filed with the regis
trar of voters contained from 1,800 to
2,100 affidavits for each candidate, al
though less than a thousand were need
ed to satisfy, the requirement of the
law, was declared by the committeemen
to be a circumstance tending to the
favorable attitude of the voters to
ward the candidates of the league.
Organization for the campaign will
start with the formation of a finance
committee. Several men were named
for this -committee yesterday, but its
personnel will not_be made public until
the list is complete. It was the sense
of the meeting that the assembly dis
trict organizations should be continued
and that as many names should be
added to the roster of all the clubs as
possible.
PLANS VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
The San Francisco democratic club,
the anti-McXab organization, is also
preparing to wage a vigorous campaign
for its ticket. The executive commit
tee has decided to hold meetings
throughout the city. The complete plan
of campaign will be formulated next
Friday night at a meeting of the exec
utive committee to be held in the offlqe
of Harry Sullivan, president of the
club. In the Humboldt bank building.
The club has decided to contest the
control of the democratic convention
with the McNabites , clear down the
line. The convention will frame the
platform of the party and will choose
the county committee for the ensuing
two years, so its control Is deemed
worth fighting for. Delegate tickets
will be named in all (he districts and
the workers. of the club- will redouble
their efforts to wrest a few more dis
tricts from McN'ab. The antis are con
fident, and some of the leaders declare
that the club will not only hold all the
districts, including the thirty-ninth^
which were taken from the McNab or
ganization last year.but will add a few
more Yo the collection. .
The antis aje engrossed in 'calcu
lating Supervisor Kalph McL.eran'B
chance of" winning Mie mayoralty
nomination. .-.They declare •: that the
candidacy of former :-' Supervisor Kd
ward R. Rock will be to their advan
tage. They think that Rock will draw
votes from Lelandand not from Mc-
Leran. ; Whether Rock wf 11 draw away
enough votes to ' let McLeran capture

interview he had with Sutton's r slster,
Mrs. : Hugh . Parker, shortly after
young Sutton's death. . :
.Davis 'went over the .scene of the
shooting again with Lieutenant Adams
and dwelt oh the details of } distances
and time in an-effort to*.* place the ex
act spot where and the time at which
Sutton was shot." . -
The. witness could only. remember ap
proximately these details. He said he
was sure Sutton wore an overcoat, and
did not remember ." Sutton" .taking- it
off any \u25a0 time' previous to the first alter
cation between: him and Sutton, when
they both to the waist pre
paratory to fighting.
The' lawyer read excerpts from Lieu
tenant Adams' testimony at the first in
quiry; and pointed out some~ of the dis
crepancies..
The witness insisted; however the
testimony seemed to vary^ that his an
swers, at : the present Inquiry were, the
correct ones. . •

"As I jhave said. I "saw' Sutton draw
a revolver from under him In his right
hand like this (Illustrating the motion),
turn his head to the right, and fire. I
saw the flash jump about six inches,"
the lieutenant replied. ' _:
Davis pressed the question as to
whether Sutton fired the fatal shot with
the large service- revolver Vr the small
*one. ." . \u25a0 • .„ " -
. "It wasn't very light." said the lieu
tenant,; "but it was my idea that he

er, Sutton's sister, soon after/ Sutton's
death.- - \u25a0•• .-\u25a0• ;
"Did Mrs. Parker ask you at that
time to make a statement of the truth
of this whole affair?'? asked Mr. Davis.
The witness said- he believed she
did.
"Did you make such a statement?"
"No, sir," said Adams.
" "Assuming that . you did make a
statement, did not Mrs. Parker after
ward tell you that it was not the
truth?" asked Mr. Davis..
Adams said he did not remember
making such a statement. ,'; '
The statements. Davis -credited the
witness gave a somewhat different ver-_
sion of the tragedy than that which
Adams has- given on the witness stand.

most wishes to haTe done. Its location beyond
the diversions and temptations of town or city,

aids. Ask our patrons, oar graduates and our
