r>OLPH CHEERED
THE WHOLE DAY
James Kolph; Jr. was cheered;all 'Jay
yesterday.
In the morning and directly after
noon he was in the stadium in Golden
Gate park to assist in starting Robert
Fowler, the aviator, on his trans
continental journey. There he received
a tremendous ovation from the six or
eight thousand spectators of the event.
Whenever the crowd caught sight of
Rolph there was a cheer. An opposing
candidate for mayor appeared in the
field and received a remarkable demon
stration of unfriendliness, hut for
Rolph it was all cheers.
In the afternoon the scene of the
cheering was shifted to the water
front, and the chief participants were
newsboys, who flocked at the heels of
the candidate as he walked through
the concourse at the foot of Market
street, cheering repeatedly. In the even
ing the cheers were shouted at the
eight meetings which Rolph attended.
EVERY H \N DSHAKE FRIENDLY
Rolph spent several hours at the
ferry buildirfg yesterday afternoon,
meeting the employes of the state and
of the railroad and express companies
having their quarters there, as well as
the hotel runners, hackmen and chauf
feurs'at the stands in front of the ferry
building. Thomas S. Williams of the
state board of harbor commissioners
escorted Rolph through the depart
ments of the ferry building. It was
state pay day yesterday and the men
assembled in the ferry building from
all parts of the front. Rolph had an
unusually good opportunity to^ meet
them.
Frendliness was expressed in every
handshake that the candidate received.
Some of the men had questions to ask
c candidate.
"How will wo be treated down here?"
nskofi a transfer man.
"With perfect fairness," replied
■Rolph.
NEWSBOYS SPY Rm,PH
others had similar questions to put.
Rolph is making no promises of any
pwrticulary nature, beyond his pledge
that during his administration, if he
is elected, there will be fairness in
all his actions.
When Rolph appeared in the front
of the ferry building: shortly before
5 o'clock he was immediately picked
out by the newsboys. They left their
work a. th<=» remunerative hour when
ommuters were ready to buy
papers and devoted themselves to
championing "Jim" Rolph as he walked
along the front.
"You're all right, you'll be elected,
Rolph," cried a campaigner of ten
years, whose enthusiasm could not
brook the formality of mister.
It is the little things of life that are
most annoying:. Even the small mos
quito bores one dreadfully

UNCLE SAM GETS
HOARDED WEALTH
Local Postal Savings Bank
Breaks All Records for
Opening Day
Chicago Office, Our Nearest
Competitor, Is Beaten by
$4,645
Unclfl Sam, banker, did a rushing busi
ness yesterday when he opened his new
postal savings bank in the main post
office, Seventh and Mission streets, in
this city.
The local institution, with its first
day's depositors numbering 270, aggre
gating a total of $8,648, broke all rec
ords made in the country, having re
ceived more than twice as much as its
closest competitor, Chicago, which
closed the first day's business with only
$4,<»no on hand. New York received less
than $3,000 and Boston $2,200. The
opening day here has proved that keep
ing the bank open until 9 o'clock pays,
as 76 depositors came after 6. Ninety
five bought cards on which deposits of
less than $1 are 7ioted, and 250 bought
savings stamps at 10 cents each. The
last two classes will become regular de
positors when they have saved 91.
Would be depositors were on hand
long before the announced opening hour
of 9 a. m., and from that hour until
9 p. m. the depositors gave the cashier
and his clerks no rest. They came
from all parts of the city, eager to put
their savings in the hands of the na
tional government, which guarantees
their safety and pays 2 per cent in
terest per annum on the deposits.
Francisco took to the idea like*
a .lurk to water. By 11 a. m. the first
day's record of the New York city
postal savings bank, opened several
weeks ago, was exceeded. By 1 p, m.
more than $3,800 had been deposited in
sums! varying from $1 to $100, no more
than $100 being permitted as a single
deposit, nor less than $1, although sav
ings stamps of 10 cents each are sold,
to be pasted upon cards, which, when
filled, are deposited for $1. There was
a big demand for the postal savings
cards.
Men. women and children came to
make their deposits. There were more
than 200 depositors by 5 p. m., and
they still came after that time, for the
bank keeps open until 9 p. m ., although
withdrawals can be made only until
6 p. m.
Most of the money consisted.of the
hoardings of timorous people who
dread the banks. Many old wallets
that showed years of usage were
brought forth and their contents trans
ferred to the governmental till. Old
women went into old stockings for
their savings of years. One old man
took off his shoe in the office to get
his money.
These hoardings* will now go into the
general circulation of the country, for
the government, although it guarantees
to each depositor In the postal savings
banks all the money he put in, does
not put the funds away in vaults to be
left unused. It lends the money on
proper security and thus releases it for
investment and circulation.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
ILLEGAL LISTING OF
VOTERS IS CHARGED
Registrar Says Many Men Liv=
ing Across Bay Have En
tered Names Falsely
Charges of illegal registration that
he says will be sensational are to be
made tonight by Registrar of Voters
E. C. Harrington at the meeting of the
election commission. Harringtons
charges are to be brought against a
large number of persons who have reg
istered in this city, but who, according
to Harrington, are still making their
homes in Marln. Alameda and San
Mateo counties.
Harrington would speak only in gen
eral terms yesterday. He made broad
charges of fraudulent registration, but
would give no specific instances. He
insisted that he and Commissioner H.
H. Ordway had the proof to substan
tiate the charges and said he would not
give out the result of his investigation
until tonight.
"'Every' transfer from the bay coun
ties has been submitted to me," said
Harrington. "Nobody knew what 1
was doing. 1 have positive evidence
that merchants, bankers, railway men.
Journalists and attorneys have come
over here and registered for the pur
pose of voting at this election, even
thought they are ut.IH maintaining
their homes across the bay.
"I have absolute proof that a prom
inent San Francisco merchant, whose
family is living across the bay, is reg
istered from a notorious house."
REGISTER FROM OFFICKS
Harrington was asked to give tha
man's name and the address of the
house from which he registered.
"I can not give you the information
until tomorrow night," said Harring
ton. "We are still lacking one bit of
data in the case."
Other instances of violation of the
law were referred to by Harrington
yesterday, although he declined to give
the names of the offenders.
"I have data on prominent men who
came here to register and went back to
their homes across the bay the same
day," said Harrington. We have found
that many men registered from their
offices. In one of these instances the
man could not sleep in his office if he
wanted to because it is not large
enough.
"I know of a banker who lives in
Marin county, who is registered from a
prominent hotel and tried to get voters
of other counties doing business in this
city to register here and have their
clerks register here also if they lived
across the bay."
PRISON TERM PUNISHMENT
Harrington said he had found some
cases of men who had cancelled their
registrations across, the bay and then
weakened on the proposition of regis
tering in this city. His investigation
has shown him that about 1,900 per
sons have transferred their registra
tion from the adjoining counties to
this county.
"I shall cite to appear before me
every person suspected of registering
illegally and if the explanation to me
regarding his residence in San Fran
cisco is not sufficient I shall take steps
to have him prosecuted.' said Har
rington.
The penalty for such fraudulent reg
istration is imprisonment in state
prison for a term of not less than one
year nor more than three years.

AT YOUR GROCER'S
GANG OF THIRTY
BEAT ROLPH MAN
Attack B. E. Joost With Clubs
Because He Will Not Re
move Button
Because he refused to remove a Rolph
button from his coat, B. K. Joost was
attacked by 30 street laborers employed
under the municipal administration Sat
urday afternoon at Roraain and Corbett
streets. Joost suffered, a fracture of the
jaw and probably a fracture of the
skull.
The great number against one man
does not tell the whole story of th<>
attack. Some of Joost's assailants i"-.cd
pick handles, and it is thought chat
Joosfs most serious injuries came from
those weapons.
Joost is 23 years old and fairly ath
letic. He managed to knock down sev
eral of his assailants and was Just get
ting into hign speed when his handicap
was increased by the use of clubs by
his opponents.
According to his brother, X. 1). Joost
of the Joost Hardware company, the
foreman of the gang kept In the back
ground and made no attempt to stop his
subordinates, who were beating up the
man who dared declare himself for
Rolph.
"1 went this afternopn to tlse place
when my brother was attacked," said
N. 1). Jooat last nigiit. "but only a few
of the men were working on the street
and all said that they had no knowl
edge of the fight. My brother is now
out on his ranch. We have no idea of
letting- the matter drop, and if it is
possible to get any fcctton on the part
of the police force we will get if if
not, we will take the law into our own
hands and there may be some more
jaws fractured— and they will not be
ours.
"I do not kn->w that the foreman par
ticipated in the attack, but, neverthe
less, it is my intention to get an ex
planation from him of the affair and
find out why he did not attempt to stop
the riot."
At the time of the trouble Joost was
on his way to the city after having
inspected some piping that he had been
running from a tank in Romain street
JANITRESS WALKS OUT

CREAM MEN FIGHT
WELLS FARGO RATE
Charge of 40 Cents in This State
Is Only 15 Cents in
Kansas
-Express rates sufficiently high t»
gouge the butter fat;out of the cream
are cited, by /Gavin; McNab in -a-com
lpa intagainst the Well* Fargo charges■
on dairy produce. : McNab '■'. appears i,as^
attorney ; for. "the Central Creaniep •'
company, and hec has hot hesitate**^
tell his troubles to the railway com
mission. ,- Says McNab: '< ejJ&£3£Bßttßfl{i
"The ; rates to which the creamery ■
company . have V; been subjected .. by the'
carrier, as shown by an-exhaustive in
vestigation, are, I- believe, -excessive
and unreasonable ; and wholly out of
proportion to the infra state" rates ex
isting elsewhere and to. the -interstate
commerce ; rates. Furthermore, the*
rates complained {of are greatly'in ex
cess of the tariffs established .by the
Globe Express company in this state.;
"The repeated protests of ; the Central
creamery-filed with *'trie carrier above
named vhave received • polite acknowl
edgment, but there have been no reduc
tions." ' j '.. '
It appears, that Wells ? Fargo; replied
that, while some, ; rates', might be too
high, some might, forsooth, be too low.
and that, out of deference to the state
commission, it ; hesitated to reduce, lest
it "■; might, alsos be forcedi'itoV;advance,'
which iis ■ against the law, and, while
the, company would like to oblige ;Me;
Nab.'it could not break the law, even
for him. ' It was a very polite answer/
ithinks,McNab, but not' entirely satis
fying. Hence the appeal to the state
board. . ? • '
:;;. The complaint,contains a comparison]
of rrttes, which shows that; for the same
service that in Kansas costs 15 cents,
12 cents in Okianoma and 19, cents In-
Minnesota, Wells -■ Fargo '-collects 40:
cents in California. Other instances;
cited are In proportion.
