Jan. 30.— -Governor Gillett's announcement that h« would not again be a candidate came so suddenly and so much Fooner than we expected that we have \u25a0cot as yet had time to ascertain the cosdition of affairs," said P. S. Teller, chairman of the Republican state cen tral committee in an interview tonight. 'Pressure was brought to bear on -OiJlett to >tand for another term." con tinued Teller. "There is no doubt that had hp derided to do so nine-tenths of tii*> republicans of California would hay* been his supporters.

"Tii*- Ftate. central commiltee prob al>ly will not do anything in the matter until a ft^r the supreme court hands down its decision on the registration question. The decision is expected] soon.

Heney will be presented for: the governorship of California at the next primaries held in that state. The Oregonian has it that Heney will neith er deny nor confirm the report that he is seeking the nomination for governor. .When a Call representative asked Heney the. question direct tonight, he ensiled and denied that he is an as pirant for the governorship of Cali- Jornia. :\u25a0'.: .-."'."Te.'s." he admitted, "I have received .messages from San Francisco regard ing- the political situation down there, but 1 have nothing to talk about, I don't : want any more politic*." John McNab May Run That John McNab of Uklah would not cr»nFider running: for governor while Governor James N. Gillett was in the field, but that he would look with favor- on a nomination if Gillett were out of the race, was the substance of a statement made by the Mendocino county man at Ukiah last week, before \u25a0Gillett made his decisive declaration -.that he would not run for re-election. "So long as Governor Gillett is a candidate for renomination or re-elec tion I will not permit my name to be used as a candidate for governor," eaid McNab positively. "lain a strong sup porter of Governor Gillett and have the utmost admiration for his administra tion; I believe that he has served the state well as governor. I would not oppose his candidacy. But If it should happen that Governor Gillett would not seek re-election, I might then allow mj- name to be used as a candidate for . jovernbr if it were desired that I be tome a candidate." «OTB THROW MUD AT- HOUSE— BerkrKr. .Inn. :Ui.-B^* threw mud balls -«{raln«f the - «allß fit the rr«i<lenpe of Mrs.- B. .V.

Address at Primary School Mayor V. H. McCarthy waded into the Taylor school board k yesterday in his address at the laying of the corner- Btone of the McKinley primary school at Fourteenth, and Castro streets. There was little of criticism that Mayor Mc- Carthy left unsaid, in fact he accused the board of education of everything from charter violations to poor spell ing, and Mrs. Mary Kincaid was ac cused of questionable methods in awarding contracts for school supplies and grossly neglecting her duties as purchasing agent for the board. These pointed and plain remarks by Mayor McCarthy were prefaced by his assuring his listeners that it was not his wish to confound the school depart ment of the city witli politics. He in sisted that those opposed to him had made it necessary for him to talk on the subject. Detects "Political Ulcer" He declared that" it was his .firm de termination to lift the school depart ment out of the political mess into which it had been plunged during the last two years.. He referred- to the present condition of the department as a "political ulcer," eating at the heart of the public school system, and prom ised to remove it by an effective opera tion. He made no direct ;reference to the suit brought by Mrs. Kincaid, Henry Payot and Thomas R. Bannerman to re tain their places on the board. Mayor McCarthy was in his own dis trict and several thousands, including school children, had gathered to hear what he had to say about the schools of the city and how he proposed hand ling them. His remarks were often in terrupted by prolonged applause. Exercises by Pupils The exercises were opened by Wil liam J. Herrin, chairman of the educa tional committee of the Haight and Ashbury district improvement club, who presided as chairman. •H. E. Coffey, president of the Haight and Ashbury district improvement club, was the first speaker. H> was followed by B. F. Conliii of the Eureka Valley improve ment association. ' The pupils of the McKinley school sang "Speed Our: Republic." Superin tendent' of Schools -Alfred Roncovieri spok^ and music was furnished by the Hebrew orphan asylum band. The pupils sang "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,"; and B. A. Purrington of the Polytechnic high school spoke on school Mayor Lays Cornerstone The' children sang . "America" and the cornerstone was laid by "Mayor McCarthy, after he had spoken, as follows: "It has been widely heralded in the public prints of. late that, the newly elected - mayor >of this city,.; proposes, and has ' undertaken, to drag" politics \u25a0into'the schools, and that the'eause of 'education hereabouts .will be made to suffer because. of the, political .rapacity of • that same mayor.

He brought with him "3,000 specimens collected by himself and 1.000 collected by William Jones, his friend and asso ciate in the Field museum, who was kilied by the Ilonglotes. the head hunters. t Overtaken 'on October 17 in the moun tains of ;Luzon by a typhoon,. deserted by his native attendants and with \u25a0 his clothes destroyed by a camp fire. Simras wandered .three, days o\\ ' the mountain tops, naked and without food. But in spite 'of the ' conditions the scientist clung to his collection of specimens valued at $20,000." ..."'.. . ."It, is no fun," said Doctor Simms, "to sleep for 12 months with one eye open, .especially, when, you, are , every day: reminded of the fact that your pal had his head" cut off, by the same men with: whom" you. are associating. "It was not becauseof any breaking ofa custom, that Jones met his death," Simms : ; said last night at . the Palace.

LINER BRINGS 191 HINDU LABORERS California Lures Dark Skinned Subjects -of 'King Edward \ V From Home > : RECORD NUMBER OF MEN IN TURBANS ON STEAMER Chinese, Filipinos and Natives From India Have Bloody SURQEOiN IS KEPT BUSY . REPAIRhNQ COMBATANTS AMONG the steerage passengers who arrived here yesterday from the far east on the liner Manchuria * were 191. Hindus, the largest number of these dark skinned subjects of King Edward that ever came to this country in one ship. It is only a few "years since the turban decked oriental was a j?ood deal of a curiosity in this part of the world. For at least two years a steady stream has been coming across the Pacific, until 'i now every China liner . brings from a score to a hundred. Many of them stop off at Honolulu am! try work on the sugar plantations, but the tales that have been sent back to In dia of the summerland inside the Golden Rate lures them here, and their stay in the islands is usually brief. Imported by Railroads They were brought here first by the railroads, who3e demand ior cfieap, unskilled labor in their construction work was greater than could be re cruited. from '*thift 'flood'- of white Immi gration and who w>rc prevented by legral bars from bringing in Chinese and Japanese laborers. They were tried first In British Columbia and in the state of Washington, but the rig orous winter climate of the north proved too severe for them. Even in j fine weather they are said to be indif ferent laborers, but when the weather turns cold they lie down and shiver and either die or seek a warmer cli mate. The result has been that most of the Hindus in the United States are now. located in California. : Bring Caste Prejudices They bring: with them all their caste prejudice^ and by those responsible for their care on board ship are regarded 1 as a wholesale nuisance. In every batch that crosses the Pacific are men of dif ferent castes and woe betide tho steer sge steward that fails to recognize the fact that it would be a deadly insult to ask the tall Sikh in the red turban to sit down next to th.c fat Hindu in the khaki uniform. The food for the different castes must be- prepared and served separately. The preparation and cooking is tfone In^eaeh case under; the supervision of some Hindu who knows what's what in the culinary etiquette of his own caste. Before his brown brothers will eat this cookery critic must make some kind of an oriental affidavit to the effect that the hash con tains nothing which Mahommed or Bud dha has placed on the blacklist and that it has been /cooked according to the cook book of their own particular . re- Itsrion. Variety of Costumes \u25a0 Among the Hindus who arrived yes terday were young men and old. Most of them wear turbans and their rai ment otherwise offers a rare variety and includes the uniforms of half a dozen British native corps. Many of the dark immigrants have their nether limbs encased in riding breeches off an extreme British type, the gift perhaps of a former employer and now proudly 'displayed in the land of the free- as the latest thing from London. Among the former soldiers are men who wear medals, among which, in a few cases, is the coveted Victoria Cross that la bestowed only, for conspicuous bravery under fire. .. Some of them needed all their scrap ping ability to hold their own on the Manchuria. When the liner left the shores of Asia there were 35S Filipinos and 184 Chinese in the Asiatic steerage, as well as the Hindus. The Chinese hates the Hindu, while the FHlpyio is equally hostile toward* the Chinese, and before the three races had been to gether, half an hour the^trouble began. The *lgilance of Captain Dixon-and his officers prevented a general engage merit, but every few hours saw a rough and tumble fight, which usually ended in bloodshed more or less seri ous. Doctor Rlchter. the liner's surgeon, was 'kept 'busy, patching 1 broken heads . and sewing up \u25a0 knife wounds, . ; Orientals Suffer From Cold -The ..Manchuria left Yokohama- In' a snowstorm and the cold weather.. for a time i rendered .
