WOMAN SUES DAUGHTER> FOR THE FAMILYHOME

The organization explanation of Mc-Kannay's power is ingenious if notcomplimentary to Mayor Taylor. Ac-cording to the organization men MayorTaylor suffers a bit from swelled head.He resents the idea that any one shouldpresume to advise him and all that 'Mc-Kannay has to do to work the undoingof an organization patriot Is to tip Itoft to Taylor that McXab or Fay orsomebody else has given Itout that heis going to have Taylor appoint Brownor Jones or Smith, and Brown or Jonesor Smith does not get the job. Mean-while those commission jobs and "But-tons" McKannay are hopelessly mixedup In the nightmares that nightly In-vade the chambers of the faithful.

Between those slices of administra-tion pie and the regular democracystands "Buttons." the marplot.

There are others, but what matter?

Tom Eagan will complete his term onthe board of works; Hugo Kell's orna-mental connection with the police com-mission will be at an end; George

Hall is assisting the prosecution Inthis case, and is declared by Mrs. Mar-tin to be her deadly enemy.

"Can't.ltell what Iknow of JudgeHall of Trinitycounty?" asked the de-fendant, but Judge -Welld denied therequest.

Mrs. Martin evaded the answer byoffering reasons for doubting the au-thenticity of the documents and finallycame out with the declaration that for-geries could exist in the case. Sheadded that she had already found fal-sification in the testimony of the prose-cuting witnesses. This part of the an-swer was ordered stricken out byJudge Wells.

"Do you mean to tell this jury thatMr. Donahue and myself forged theseexemplars?" shouted Hynes, handingher a long list of exhibits f>f her hand-writing:taken at. Weaverville. , "An-swer that by *yes' or 'no.'

"

"Ican not. judge," said the defendant"Ido not want to disobey you. but Ican not swear to any writing that hasbeen in the hands of these men."

Judge Wells Instructed Mrs. Martinto answer questions asked of her byAssistant District Attorney Hynes con-cerning her intimation that Hynes hadcaused forged letters to be producedagainst her.

r When shown the examplars of thename "Judge F. B. Ogden, Oakland,Cal." said to have been written by herwhen first arrested at Weavervllle,Mrs. Martin would not state that theywere inher handwriting. She said shemade several notes on paper for Dis-trict Attorney Donahue and DetectiveSt. Clair Hodgkins, but that in view ofthe fact that Eisenschimmel was in thecase, she said she could not tell wheth-er or not the writing was her own.She dodged and evaded question afterquestion, finally continuing her ex-traordinary statements about the courtofficials.

Mrs. Martin -explained her remarksby saying that a certain letter purport-ed to have been written by her had fivesmall ink marks on it—one in each cor-ner, and a dot in the center of thepage. The missive introduced in courtdid not have these marks, and there-fore must have been forged by theprosecution, so the woman declared.She told the jury that when Expert El-senschimmel was employed by her inthe Martin will case in San Franciscohe told her he could forge anysignature or writing she wanted himto and that she believed that in thiscase he had made 'use of his pen forthe benefit of the prosecution. "Elsen-schlmmel said that the woman's utter-ances were preposterous.

OAKLAND, Dec. 3.—Mrs. Isabella. J.Martin refused today on the witnessstand in Judge Wells* court to identifyexhibits of her handwriting used bythe prosecution in her trial for prompt-ing the dynamiting of Judge F. B. Og-den's home. She created something ofa scene when she>,declared:

"Iwill swear tofnd handwriting thathas ever been inyour hands, Mr.Hynes.Iwill:not answer 'yes': or "no* to anyquestion about handwriting that hasbeen in your possession or in the pos-session of Mr. Donahue or of Carl Els-enschlmmel."

Quietly but firmly it was borne Jnupon the generals, colonels and otherdignitaries of the organization whostood around ready, even anxious, tobe consulted that Taylor was gettinghis advice from other sources. Accu-sations and theories availed them noth-ing with the clamorous faithful. Theygot no jobs. Connolly, McKannay's oldboss, had been selected for the boardof supervisors and McKannay landed afriend occasionally, but still their sus-picions were stirred only slightly.

But when they fell down hard" intheir attempt to land Tim Fitzpatrickin the place on the police bench vacatedby the promotion of Judge Cabaniss tothe superior bench, the cruel truth wasbrought home to them. James D.phelaxu Gavin McNab, Charley Fay,Tom Hickey, Supervisor Gianinni and ascore or more democratic big wigs or-ganization and otherwise, permittedMayor Taylor to find out that Fitz-patrick was the man of their choicefor the place. Dan Deaey, assistantdistrict attorney, friend arid; formerassociate of -McKannay, grot the. job.

The Ud was off—"Buttons" stood dis-

closto as the chief "jinks" of the or-ganization.

After election they did not connectwith Taylor in anything like the man-ner they had anticipated. But they, didriot \u25a0 suspect Buttons. They landed afew places, but quite as many morewent to democrats who wore no or-ganization label. The number of thelatter increased.

COLOVKLS WAKEUP

They admit now that had they sus-•pected the possibilities of Buttons' de-velopment they would have slipped hima few ehiny badges loaded with dyna-

. ra!%e.

McKannay took an active interestin the campaign waged on behalf of hischief and incidentally his job Jn 1907.The young secretary, . who took achance and landed a job, acquired thehabit of dropping around to the Fill-more street headquarters daily andinterrupting the secret councils of thestrategy board with requests for cam-paign buttons. After the fourth triphe was dubbed "Buttons," and his dailyvisits er lured with indulgent smiles onthe part of the generals of regulardemocracy and their headquarters sen-tries.

He accepted promptly and helpedpack the "Mayor's Office"' sign fromthe Franklin street yard hired b5r

Schraitz down to the city hall ruins,where Taylor took up the reins ofgovernment. The supreme court de-rided that Taylor was mayor. Anothercourt decided that McKannay couldcollect the secretary's salary, which hedid. and the nerve of democracy suf-fered a slight'twinge. A bet had beenoverlooked. But the direful conse-quences of that error were not appar-ent then. They are now.DUBBED "BUTTOXS"

The uncertainty of the thing lookedmighty uninviting to the chronic jobchasers and there \u25a0was a dearth of(applicants for the post of secretary,which might never Involve a salary.

It was suggested that McKannay, ayoung lawyer in the office of GeorgeA. Connolly, had nothing to lose bytaking a chance. The job was passedup, to McKannay.

When Edward Robeson Taylor wasproclaimed mayor by Langdon'sleashed supervisors the political wise-acres figured that the supreme courtwould give him the humorous wink.It was up to Taylor to establish him-self in a mayor's office and proceedto "be mayor.

The organization men call McKan-nay a "republican," with a double rollon the initial, and flout him as anaccident, but they admit with mourn-ful grace that he has it on them.

Clamorous pressure from the horde ofhungry privates and "noncoms," coup-lod with Taylor's persistent failure topee that the captains were around ready

to tellhim,what to do. developed a sec-ond excuse

—executive senility. That

forved until they got the goods on Mc-Kannay, he whom they dubbed "But-tons" last year.

•and denied; Mayor Taylor's disinclin-ation to '"advise" with it and a horridfear that it will not get so much asa look in at the several commissionberths to be passed out next monthliave convinced organization democra-cy that it is up against the real thing

arid that the real thing is a young re-publican named McKannay.'

Just one brief year ago Harry Mc-Kannay, Mayor Taylor's secretary, was<lubbed "Buttons" by the organizationdemocrats, who were using reformerrepublican prestige and money to electMayor Taylor and tunnel their way toa few hundred jobs for their faithfulregulars. That was a year ago. It is'different now. The disgust with whichlong hair republicans regard "W. F.Herrin, democratic boss of the repub-
