San Francisco, Jan. 9. Ugly charges
of police brutality were made today as
a sequel to yesterday afternoon's out
break of rioting by San Francisco's un
employed. It was when Assistant Prosecutor Mo
Conough asked for a postponement un
til January 16 of the cases against the
six prisoners charged with inciting the
riot, that the first of these accusations
came to the surface.
"Your honor," said William Thorn,
one of the six men, "I want to be
tried immediately. The city prison here
isn't a safe place for me. Last night
the police locked me in a solitary cell,
end after midnight four policemen came
in and beat me with clubs. If you will
exclude women, I will show you my
lroi.es and soars."
Police Judge Crist replied that he had
no jurisdiction over such matters, but
suggested that Thorn might complain
to Chief of Police Whito. He granted
a continuance until rioxt Monday, dis
regarding MeConough's representation
that Policeman W. 0. Brown, an im
portant witness, whk was hurt in tho
riot, would not be able to appear in
court so Boon. .
Bystanders Beaten.
Another charge was made by Morgan
Fremlin, a sugar foreman, from Ham
ilton City, who, though he did not even
see the riot, according to his own ac
count, declared he was attacked by a
policeman in tho vicinity of tho place
where it occurred, and unquestionably
was so badly beaten that he was in a
serious condition at St. Luke's hospital
today.
"With both jaws broken and all his
front teeth knocked out, Frcmlin had
trouble in telling his story. This
much, however, ho mado clear:
"I had left tho Hotol Halo, where I
was stopping, and gone for a stroll with
a friond. At tno corner or r uin anu
Afiuainn wtrnntii WA pnCOliniered this T10 !
licenian. He probably mistook me for
one of the men who had taken part in
the riot."
The beating followed, Fremlin said, .
before ho had time to explain that he
bad not even beon a bystander at tho
fight, and did not so much as" know
that thero was trouble anywhere neBr
bini.
Chief White promised an investiga
tion. Prepare for Trouble.
Pan Francisco, Jan. 9. The polico
prepared here today for serious trouble
with tho unemployed;

The iioltee did not p
.itnti.l thn he
thought thenfl orders could be enforced j
without trouble. Captain Anderson, of i
the park district station, was instructed
to hold hiB entire force of mounted po
lice, about 30 in all, in readiness for
duty anywhere on short notice. Com
pany commanders were directed to have
their reserves on the alert for riot calls.
Plainclothes men were detailed to Veep
watch on all gatherings of the unem
ployed. The first outbreak seemed likely
to develop from a gathering of men at
Fifth snd Howard streets, in prepsrs-
tion for a march to I'nion Square, a
march there, and then another march,
all in defiance of Chief White's com
mand, to the hall of justice, to attend
the trial of the six men arrested charged
with complicity in yesterday's battle.
The police said they would prevent
this program from being carried out if
they could. Leaders of the unemployed
army declared thoy would march in!
spite of the police.
The big fight yesterday followed an
attempt of a young teamster to drive
through an unemployed procession from
Union Square to the Co-operative Em
ployment Bureau. The men resented
this, and, it was said, the teamster
struck at gome of them with his whip.
Slot Becomes General.
He was dragged instantly from his
sqat; E. Tisdalo, one of the unemployed
leaders tried to save him from violence,
a fight tartcd, Chiof White, who hap
pened to be near by, called for roservos,
about 30 policomeu responded, and the
riot became general.
The men fought with stones and brick
bats; tho police wielded their clubs
vigorously. Tho lattor wore finally
victorious, tho crowd scattered and the
victims were picked up, and, in some
instances, taken to the hospital.
Tho worst injured wore:
Policeman W. 0. Brown, badly cut
on the head.
Morgan Fremlin, p-ofessodly a more
bystander, jaw broken and several
teeth knocked out. '
James A. Ryan, unemployed, Borious

Rather contradictorily, however, he
added that "subsequent events might
cause a! sudden termination of the con

as a result of the past few days inves
tigating he has been doing in the cop

by which he hopes to force a settlemout.

"I know of no reason why the strike
should not end soon," Governor Ferris
added. "L don't think it will last
long. I believe if matters were left
to the mine owners and thoir employes
thoy could settle their differences quick
ly, to their mutual sntihfoction aud to
tho evorlasting benefit of both.
"I think this should bo done. The
Western Federation of Miners ha9 failed
to gain recognition for its members as
a unionized body, it has failed as an
outside organization, it is tho advice

venturesome statement to make that

TO AID (WS MAYOR
Gets Wire From Both Sheriff a nd Mayor in Regard to Situa
tion Believes Sheriff Is Capable of Handling Situation
Which Arises Over Refusal of Conucil to Promptly Confirm
Appointments of MayorOffer to Appoint Three Special
Agents Mayor Wants to Close Saloons of City.
At last there has been found a good
reason for the existance of the saloon.
Mayor Anderson of The Dalles has made
the wonderful discovery and evidently
wants to try it out. The Dalles has had
a row on between the mayor and the
city council for sorao time, It starting
over a disagreement about the appoint
ment o'f a chief of police. The mayor
named a man and the council refused
to confirm him. After much wrangling
a compromise was agreed on and the
third man appointed. Things ran along
not altogether smoothly, for a while,
but still they moved without open war
fare.
Trouble started again Thursday night
when the chief resigned. The mayor at
once named his first choice for the
place and the council promptly refused
to confirm the appointment. In fact,
it weut so far as to name a policeman
who is practically the chief.
This roused the Ire of the mayor. He
glimpsod everything a bright carmine
and he scented bloodshed in the breez
es waftod down from BiggB, that usual
ly have nothing more heart-rending in
them than sand. Then he issued his
ultimatum,
"If you do not confirm my appoint
mnt I will proclaim something or othor
and close all the saloons." So it Is
easily seen that at last a reason for
tho oxistanco of tho saloons Is found.
Thoy are a club in the hands of the
mayor to make tho council do his bid
ding, Thero is no claim that the sa
loons are operating in violation of law
or doing anything else unlawful, since.
thoy are projiorly licensed, but there
you are.
Whilo tho castorn horizon was still
Incaiadino to tho angry mayor he
sent the following diHpatch to Gov
omor West:
