jSALE OF FLOUR
STIRS UP ROW
San Francisco Refugees Need
Staple Disposed of at Tow
Price to Millers.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Minneapolis, .F' ne 2H An agent of
the relief committee at San Francisco
wires to this city that the recent sale
of 111,500,000 pounds of Hour which had
been donated for relief purposes was
shameful. He declares that thousands
of refugees are in need of t he Hour to
day ami that pastors of churches are
! calling for Hour for indigent members
j of their societies. The Hour supply
was out short by the recent sale for ex
port of what was claimed to be a sur
plus not needed for relief purposes.
An tnlorous scandal seems to be
promised by this flour sale, according
i to the latest Seattle papers. 'Hu* re
lief committee quietly made a sale of
what was claimed to be a surplus of
70,000 barrels, to millers around San
Francisco bay. at a little more than
half the market value. Moritz Thom
sen of Seattle, whose mill gave a large
quantity of Hour to the refund, hap
pened to be in the city, and registor
: cd a protest. If»• instantly offered 10
‘percent more for the iour and after
If had left for Seattle his agent made
« a much larger offer. In‘Seattle Mr.
Thomsen made this statement:
•‘It is true that ('objected to the sale
of the flour to the syndicate which bid
for it. I was in San Francisco at the
time the matter came up. and heard
of it at the time. The committee had
practically sold the Hour for $2.2'> a
barrel. I told them that I did not
propose that this flour, which had
been donated for the relief of the poor,
and which was valued at *1 per barrel,
should he purchased by millionaires
for $2.2*>. 1 put in a bid 1»> per cent
higher, which would have yielded the
committee *22.000 more. The com
mitter then held a secret session and
decided to reconsider."
Last week the news came by cable
to the Gateway that the relief com
mittee had sold 13.o00.000 pounds for
export at *:>.10, but did not state who
was the purchaser. The Seattle pa
pers claim that the Oakland millers
would not only make a big profit on
the flour by buying it far below its
, market value but would use it tocripple
in the Oriental markets the Oregoh
and Washington millers who gave a
I large share of it to aid the homeless
people of San Francisco.

GREEK GEORGE STABS
FIREMAN OF STEAMER
Gets Into Row With Gang of Sailors
from Survey Boat and Cuts
One Man Badly.
“Greek George” takes some time
nursing a head somewhat mellowed by
violent contact with a base ball bat, a
heavy cuspidore and several large
rocks, while Raphael Rarato, fireman
of the MacArthur, lies in bed oo t he
steamer studying the slow process of
healing in progress upon a vicious cut
made by the Greek in his head and
another in his loft shoulder with an
eight-inch blade such as Southern
Kuropeans employ to show sincerity in
an acrimonious debate. These are the
visible evidences of a hot time in the
old town one night.
Several other members of the crew
of the .MacArthur besides the Spanish
fireman participated in the excitement
which made Fourth avenue lively for
a few minutes shortly after midnight
Wednesday. The exact origin of the
cont roversy seems uncertain but con
cerning the sincerity of the light there
appears to be no room for doubt. All
the witnesses agree that it was no
hippodrome. There was no .loe Cans
faking about the ruction at any stage
of the proceedings.
All the gentlemen who enlisted for
tin* war were more or less saturated
with sulphide of zinc, or some other
brand of intoxicant. The Greek be
came involved in a joint debate with
one of the sailors concerning the mer
its of the denaturized alcohol bill now
before congress, or the polysynthetic
agglutination of Greek roots, or some
equally abstruse subject adapted to
discursive analysis. They were unable
to agree and the Greek made a fierce
lunge at his adversary with his big
knife. The sailor side-stepped and
i continued the argument with a beer
| hottle directed at the Greek's head,
t Then there was a general mix-up
; and no clear account of the scrap by
i rounds is attainable. The knife swept
widening circles, the sailors broke
ground, ran up the street and sought
refuge in Wagner's saloon, which they
1 reached a lap ahead of the Greek.
I When he entered hastily he collided
j with the thick end of a ball bat wiel
!j b\ willing hands. A cuspidore
i and a few chairs were also pushed
against him and the sailors fled again.
It was abom this time that Rarato
was stabbed.
The rumpus brought half the popu
lation into the street and dim Dickin
son came down from the jail armed
with a revolver and butted in. The
Greek ran in spite of a couple of warn
ing shots, but was overtaken in the
alley between the McNeiley hotel and
the Hoard of Trade, where a shot was
put through hi» hand. He then sur
rendered and was escorted to jail.
The Greek protested against his ar
| rest. As he was led to jail he argued:
“I want libertee! There is no liber
tee in Turkey! There should be liber
I tee in America!"
~After the MacArthur sailed away
there was nobody to make a complaint
1 against George for his flourish and
! tin- representatives of the dignity of
| the Fnited States government did not
I know what to do with the Greek ex*
j cept to turn him loose. As he has
I always borne a good reputation public
sentiment is generally in bis favor. He
: was released from jail Thursday.

ELECT DELEGATES
The local Democracy got together
Tuesday evening and held a
primary to elect delegates to the Dem
ocratic territorial convention to be
held in Juneau July ltf. J. S. Slater
was chairman of the meeting and L.
F. Shaw secretary. The meeting was
held in the fire hall.
The following were elected dele
gates: J. S. Slater, S. P. Hart, Elliott
Stewart, F. S. Kennedy, L. F. Shaw,
Dell Clark. As none of the delegates
expects to attend it was agreed to
send proxies to Judge Mellen of Cop
permount, a well-known Democrat, in
the belief that he will know how to
use the votes for the best interest of
the party. It is expected that Judge
Mellen will support Ex-Gov. Swine
ford for delegate, although no infor
mation to that effect has been re
ceived.
J. S. Slater was recommended for
member of the territorial committee
from this precinct.
