THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1895. 8 A MAJORITY OF THE BOARD FAVORS WOMAN, She Would Make a Good Member, Say Seven Directors. TWO0 ARE AGAINST HER. Views of Prominent Ladies About Their Sex Being in the Board. ONE OUGHT TO BE NAMED. What Will Be Required of the Suc- cessor to Charles B. Stone, Whether Man or Woman. “By all means let us nave a representa- tive woman in the Board of Education.” These words were spoken yesterday by Mrs. Louise bier, the treasurer of the Woman’s Congress, a lady who has de- voted much time and attention to educa- tional matters, and who has always been in the lead in movements that have for their purpose the advancement of woman. “I saw the noticein Tue CALL this morn- ing,”’ continued the lady, “‘and a number of ladies were discussing the subject a few moments since. I believe that there ought to be not only one woman on the school board, but several, and I believe it would be a wise move for the Superintendent to nominate a competent woman to fill the vacancy in the board and jor the board to confirm the nominztion.” The announcement in THE CALL yester- day that there was discussed in school cles the adyisability of naming a woman B. to succeed C. Stone as School Director awakened a lively interest, not only in educational, but in all other divisions of the community, and the proposition met with a good deal of favor. This was par- y so among those who have the in- ts of school-children at neart. ool Director Clinton smiled when for his views on the subject of a woman in the Board of Education, and then he said: “I think one woman in the d would feel very lonely. Personally ve no objection to women in a Board i There are many women in who can fill the office of Director and fill it well, but I thin ome for womer: to hold Tic 8 » women were named Republican ticket, and the small r of votes they received is proof to 1d that the people are not yet ready on the be quite would not difiicalty to fill the sting with a woman. avor women in the board, the board composed of six women and six men.” School Director Henry T. Scott on the ct of women on the Board of Educa- was non-commital. “I do not know of a proposition to name a woman or_any one else to succeed Mr. Stone, therefore [ have no views on the subject.’’ “I do not think if a woman was named for_the position,” said School Director E, P. Barrett, “'that her appointment would :d, Iam strongly opposed to ositions. The pool of tics is filthv, and I should not care to women besmirched by coming in con- act with it. Tk women have enough to to attend to their household eaffairs without going into school boards.” I certainiy am not against women be- ing members of the School Board,” said 8chool Director Haw “‘but I believe that one woman would feel very much out of | place in a board with eleven men. If there were a number of women on the School Board 1 believe they would be able to do some good, and while I would not ect to what is called a ‘mixed board,’ proportion ought not to be six to six, 1t seven to tive. There are man no doubt who would do well Directors. Women are the trainers of the chiidren; tney educate them, and I know of no rea- son why they should not be School Direc- tors. 1 for one would not object to them.”’ H. C. Henderson, also a School Director, when asked for his views on women in the board, said: *I do not know that a woman will be nominated to fill the va- cancy, but I will say that I am a woman’s rights man, and want them to obtain ail the rights that are accorded to men, in so far as such can be granted to them. If a woman is named to succeed Mr. Stone that would be perfectly satisfactory to me, for, as [ said before, I am a woman’s rights man out and out, but such a woman would have to be qualitied to attend to the duties that the office would impose on her.”” “I do not know why u capable woman, possessed of intelligence, would not make a good School Director,” said School Di- rector McElroy, “as good as a man, and I do not know why I should not vote for a woman if one were nominated. If a mother can care for children until itis time to send them to school and is compe- tent to teach them when in the depart- ment, she certainly ought to be able to man the affairs of the School De- partment.” The canvass of ten of the eleven mem- bers who now compose the board shows that seven are not opposed to women as directors, two are opposed, while one is non-committal. \\'iL{. such a showing the Superintendent whp names the candidate to fill the vacancy would in all probability succeed in having a woman fill the place, should be noniinate one. “There can be no doubt whatever of the propriety of placing 2 woman on the School Board,” said R:Irs. Sarah B. Cooper, superintendent of the Golden Gate - dergarten Association,” and women are pre-eminently fitted to discharge the duties of School Director. Their motherly in- stincts, their training and knowledge of the reeds of children, qualify them for the position. Ishould’ be pleased to see one—yes, a number of women on the board. We e any number of women to teach the children, and there is no reason why won hould not be Directors.” M F. Swift, president of the Cen- tury Club, said that she believes that it would be’ proper to nominate a woman to fill the position made vacant by the resig- nation of Mr. Stone. She believed that there were many good, competent women who would fill the position to the satisfac- tion of the people. Mrs. A. A. Sargent gave it as her opin- jon that a woman ought to be named to fill the vacancy in the bosrd, and that the women ought to have a representation, as women are equal to the requirements of the office, and there are many in this City capable of filling it with credit to themselves. ‘“‘One woman, of course, would be but a small factor in a board of twelve,” she added, *‘but it would be a be- ginning.” 3 It is said that the nomination of a successor to Mr. Stone, be it a man or a woman, will be affected by the secretaryship, now filled by George leanston, and who has filled it for many Years.. When the late Superintendent Moulder took office one of his first official acts was to appoint a man named Weish secretary of the board. When the nomi- nation came up for confirmation the vote ©on the first ballot resulted in no choice, as the vote stood 6 to 6. Then one member changed his vote from Beanstcn to Welsh ‘;l;f.’ another changed from Welsh to Ccreatoio, which again made a tie. This cated a deadlock, which could not be | Beanston holds the fort. The is to obtain a member who will !vr( 1 | of the association at the Mechanics’ Ex- | | association; programme for progress as favor Beanston in case the courts should decide that C. S. Young, who was ap- pointed by the Supervisors, is the Suverin- tendent ‘instead of Madison Babcock, elected by the School Directors. Of course it is not known that Mr. Young, if declared the Superintendent, would disturb Secre- tary Beanston, but the desire aid to be to secure a member who will maintain the deadlock. THE FIRE ORDINANCE. Supervisors Discuss the Veto Sent In by Mayor Sutro on Mouday. The Fire Department Committee of the Board of Supervisors argued long and earnestly over Mayor Sutro’s veto of the proposed fire ordinance yesterday, and while their labors were not finished anum- ber of important changes, some of them m accordance with the Mayor's views, were suggested. One change of impor- tance, which will probably be recom- mended to the board for adoption, was in relation to permits for erecting additions to and making changes in buildings within the fire limits. Heretofore property own- ers have had to apply to the board for per- mits of this description, often with much inconvenience and delay. Itis now pro- posed to allow them to apply directly to the Fire Department and to have Fire Wardens exercise supervision over the work for which the permission is issued, to see that it is done it conformity with the law. I. Gutte appeared before the committee to suggest &{:at the Board of Supervisors establish three new fire walls in the dis- trict south of Market street and east of Eighth. He said that by makinga law that on three streets running from Market street to the bay—Second, Fourth and Sixth, for instance—from the present time all houses fronting on those thoroughfares that are to be replaced shall be of brick or stone, a series of fire walls would be estab- lished that would effectually check confla- grations sweeping in before the westerly winds. The committee agreed to take the matter under consideration. MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION. Its Quarterly Meeting Will Be Held To- Morrow Evening. The quarterly meeting of the Merchants’ Association will be held to-morrow even- ing at 26 O’Farrell street. There will be five special topics presented by the direct- ors, as follows: Reports of officers upon the past work and present condition of the | adopted by the board of directors; synop- | sis of the proposed mew charter for San | rancisco; revort upon the paving exhibit | | position; engineer’s report upon the que: tion of limiting the height of buildin A large atiendance is expected, as notices have been sent to the 300 members of the conversation between Mr. Mogan and bimself, showing that Mr. Mogan bad simply made a friendly visit to the Fish Commission office and had asked in a casual way for information on the subject of assistance. The recent case of Campodonico, who was acquitted by the jury after it bad been proven before Judge Low thatthe man was guilty of violation of the game laws ,illus- trated the fact that too much apathy had existed in regard to this matter, and it was decided in tfie future to prosecute every case vigorously and to the end. t was thought that if those inclined to- ward violation of the law were aware that a heavy fine would be exacted for such violation the inclination to violate would be removed. It is stated that the commission is not allowed to engage the services of any at- torney to prosecute cases of this kind as that duty devolves upen the Attorney- General. To more effectively enforce the law Attorney-General Fitzgerald has ap- ointed his deputy, Charles H. Jackson, to ook after such matters. A case similar to the case of Campo- donico will be tried next Thursday. Mr. Babcock reported that in the Battle Creek salmon hatchery over 8,200,000 fish had been hatched, and that 10,000,000 could be taken if the requisite amount of money was on hand; that there has been more fish taken from the pool this year than during any other season. At the Sisso: nursery 6, ,000 have been hatched within ten days. DUCK-HUNTERS' TROUBLE Main Sloughs in the Sonoma Marshes Blockaded by Wire Fences. Supervisors of San Mateo County Have Put Their Feet Down on Rail Slaughter. The sportsmen of San Mateo County, who learned through THE CALL that the rail on the Belmont marshes were fast disappearing because of indiscriminate slaughter, had the Supervisors pass an ordinance which prohibits the killing of rail in their county after the 15th inst. Local sportsmen should not make any mistake in this particular ordinance, as the fine for the killing of, or having in pos- session, rail aiter Friday next is very heavy. Fad it not been for the ruthless manner in which some hunters who gen- erally shoot on Sundays slaughtered the birds during a time when the marsh was almost inundated by water, this ordinance would not have been passed. Hunters who enjoy an occasional day’s pleasure in shooting at ducks in the vicin- v of Tubbs Island, Sonoma marshes, are | very indignant because the owner of the | island (A. C. followed the example of the Teal Cordelia Shooting Club of the Suisun marshes and ran wire fences across Midshipman’s slough, which is 200 yards of the association, besides about 6(0 invi- tations to all of the City officers and prom- The Merchants’ Association hasrecently moved its headguarters from 120 Sutter | street to the Mills building, where three | rooms have been secured on the seventh | floor. One room will be occupied by the as- | sociation’s consulting engineer, Ernest | McCullough, the second as the main office | and tue third by the secretary and attor- ney, J. Richard Freud.

The trip from New York to San Fran- cisco has been at last reduced to four days, inent business men. | in width. The slough is as navigzable as | the Sacramento River, and an obstruction | to navigation on it is decidedly unlawiul | and improper. Taking this view of the matter the hunters, who had heretofore ob- | erved the rights of the owners of the ! | island by refraining from trespussing or | | shooting_thereon, smashed passageways | ! in the wired blockade and threaten to ao | much greater damage if the islanders re- | | sort to any further schemes to despoil | them of an occasional shoot on the main slough. The case of the Cordelia Shooting Club against 1he Mallard Club will certainl; decided at Fairfield, Solano County, Thursday. Some of the alleged sportsmen who have made a pfactice of shooting tame ducks in the slough that passes within a stone's throw of Mr. Ferris’ house, Ignacio, may expect to be escorted to prison the next time they put in an appearance on the mar: Last Sunday morning Mr. Ferris lost several ducks, some of which were seen in the possession of poachers on their re- turn to this City. These vandals sleep in | a shanty on the marsh between Ignacio and Novato. The following interesting news concern- ing what the sportsmen of Sacramento and its vicinity are doing has been received : The verdict of the San Francisco jury in the violation of the game law case is the chicf topic of conversation among the sporting and mar- | ket-hunting fraternity of this section, who are i be | on | and that is not on any special train or limited ticket; but the regular daily ser- | e on the lines coming into this City | has cut down the timecard to four day: From Chicago the new time is three day: This great improvement in passenger transcontinental service is the result of competition, for alihough the trunk lines | are still bound together in a compact on | rates, they are each struggling hard for business by improving the service ana ac- | commodations of their respective lines, The Sunset limited reduced the time re- cently over the Southern route via New Orleans, and to further tempt travel over that route introduced magnificent trains, | by which improvements the Southern line | broke through established arrangements. The Santa Fe would not sit idly by and see | business slipping away from its lines. So it put on a fast train between Los Angeles and Chicago, making the time three da Appointments in the palace cars were vastly improved at the same time when | the new scheduie went into effect Jast | month. The Union Pacific, Chicago and North- western and the Central Pacific did not in- tend to let the Santa Fe take passengers. Yesterday they issued a joint timecard for a daily sérvice between Chicago and San Francisco. | According to it the Pacific flyer will leave Chicago over the Northwestern at 6:15 P. ™. Monday, Omaha at 8 A. 3. Tues- day, Ogden at I r. . Wednesday; arrive at Sacramento 4:30 p. ». Thursday, and at San Francisco 8:45 . Phursday, mak- ing quick connections with the Los An- geles special so that passengers can reach Los Angeles at 10 . . next day. With a daily service of twenty-two hours from New York to Chicago over the New York Central and Hudson River road and Erolnpl conuection at Chicago with the hicago and Northwestern train, the through trip can be made from ocean to ocean in the elegant cars produced by com- x petition in ninet hours and “thirty minutes—just half an hour over four days. It has been calculated by a railroad man that the uime on this new card will be about thircy-six miles an hour, including stops at stations and changes at the main depots. T0 EFOACE CAME LAWS Fish Commissioners Resolve to Vigorously Prosecute Hereafter. Mr. Babcock’s Ire Aroused Over State- ments Made by Crittenden Robinson. At the wession of the Fish Commission Monday afternoon quite a lengthy and quasi-heated discusssion was agitated by the old Mogan and Robinson difficulty. Mr. Babcock said that Robinson stated Mogan had come before the Corimission- ers ana asked for aid in prosecuting the violators of the game law; that he, Bab- cock, according to the words of Mr. Robin- son, had said there was no money in the fund to aid prosecutions, and refused Mr. Mogan assistance. . Babcock read a stenographic account seemingly equally divided in favor of and against the decision. On the part of the sportsmen it is claimed that the law is plain on the subject and that the verdict rendered is in direct contradiction of the law. Even should the law be unconstitutional on the grounds ol special legislation, they claim that it does not lie within the province of the jury to so de- cide; they also claim that the people of the State have no grounds of complaint against the present California game Jaws. In Oregon and Washington game is_only allowed to be sold during the month of December, while in Cali- fornia it is allowed to be disposed of for two months. On the other hand, market hunters and therr | friends claim that they shounld be entitled to the same privilege accorded any other hunters, and, as their livelihood depends on it, should be allowed to dispose of their game. The final decisionin the case wili be awaited with absorb- ing interest. Those who have tried the marshes during the past week report ducks more plen- tiful, as the migratory birds are arriving in large guantities. Widgeon seem to be the most plentiful this year, although there is no erceptible scarcity in other varieties. New- | bert C. Kimball and R. D. Finney bagged fifty- five birds in their outing among the tules near Clarksyille yesterday. They report any quan- tity of birds constantly on the wing, but fiy- ing high. They state that birds were hard to retrieve in the locality they visited, as the | water was covered with a matted mass ot red smartweec, through which the ducks fell and disappeared. Many were lost through this cause, or their day’s bag would have been larger. Russ Flint and Nicholaus killed eight birds | 1 an hour's outing yesterday. Newbertand | Helms kilied thirty-five birds within six miles | of the City on Monday last. Stewart Upson and Doc Duell had hard luck in their day’s trip on the lakes—it rained heavily all the ne and they bagged but nine birds. Charlie Flobr bagged twen.y-seven at the Teal Cluo preserves last Sunday, and B. Knauer, accom- panied by two of his friends, returned from a two days’ shoot with 105 birds. Nobody has tried the quail during the past week, although | Fred Adams and Ed Robbins, accompanied by thelr thoroughbred pointers, left to-day for El Dorado, with expectation of good sport after the late rains. The Buckwheat Club has secured 2400 acres of preserve near Lodi, and look forward to good shooting, as mallard are already putting in an appearance. MARKSMEN HONORED. They Receive n Handsome Souvenir of Thelr Triumph in the E: A pleasant little ceremony took place yesterday afternoon at the headquarters in this City of the Winchester Repeating Arms* Company. The occasion was the presentation by the company of a hand- some sharpshooters’ rifle to each member of the California team of marksmen which had won honors in the East exactly one year before. Each rifle had been specially fitted to the recipient’s taste, and was up to date in every way. The presentation speech was made by Manager E. B. Rambo, and_brief, appro- priate replies were made by Philo Jacoby, the veteran champion of the target, and William Ebrenpfort. During their trip East the Californians visited the com- pany’s factory at New Haven,and the presentation was peculiarly in memory of that visit. _The members of the team were: Wil- liam Ehrenpfort, F. 0. Young, A. H. Pape, Louis Bendel, George Alpers, Mar- cus Schwap, Adolph Strecker, E. B. Fak- tor, George T. Helm, I. T. Schuster, E. Blodeau, Robert Jungblutt, H. M. Wreden. ——————— Delinquent Taxes. The first installment of real estate taxes and all unpaid persona! property taxes will be de- linquent on the 25th inst. No checks will be received by the Tax Collector after Saturday next. The office will be open daily from 9 4. M. 104 o'clock P. M., and on Thursday, Fri- day and Saturdey evenings from 7 10 9 o’clock, THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Potentate an Overwhelming Choice Made a Miserable Showing. AMERICA SECOND AT 300 TO 1. Shaw on Perhaps Put Up a Great Finish and Gained the Decision Over Morven. Three bookmaking firms, Hugh Jones, San Francisco Club ana P. Howell, found the road too rocky and did not cut in yesterday. This left nine to hang up odds. Some of the pencilers took undue liberties with the odds about America, laying as high 2550 to 1 a place against the speedy mare, and after the race had the pleasure of cashing them. Aiter long, careful nursing under the watch- ful eye of Dan Halliday the Australian Strom- boli made his reappearance in the last race, He did not cut much of a figure in the run- ning, but pulied up well, and if he does not go wrong will be heard from later on in some of the distance events. Shaw put up two splendid rides on Perhaps and Hymn. He hes also put up some very poor rides in the past that do not in the least resound to his credit. In a hard-driving finish Shaw has not an equal at the track. With any sort of a fair break there would have been no doubt as to whether or not Three Forks won the third race. He was away badly, running in last position down the back- stretch, and showed a fine burst of speed at the finish, He is & greatly improved horse of late. Turning to the index containing the names of thisvaried assortment of jockeys, Trainer Jimmy McCormick, who handles the horses of the Burns and Waterhouse string, concluded to put “Chip” Flynn up on Potentate, the ex-Walbaum sprinter, in the last race yesterday. It wasa five and a half furlong spin, and Potentate was an odds on favorite, going to the post 1 to 2. On November 5 the Eastern horse was backed off the boards to win a five-furlong race in the slushy going, and was beaten a head by Yemen aiter a desperate drive in the very fast time of 1:02. In yesterday's race he exhibited about as much speed as a tramp does when looking for work. The second choice, Thelma, backed from 214 to 1 down to 9to 5, took the event easily, with the favorite even outfooted by the 300 to 1 shot, America, who beat him out a head for the place. The winner covered the distance in the very ordinary time of 1:08. It is a well-known fact that Poten- tate is a demon in the mud, but no one ever thought him such a “*dog” on a good track. The coolness of the atmosphere was not without its effect on some of the other favorites, for the first choices experienced arather frosty day. Mt. Roy and Hyran managed to land purses, but in the other events the fayored ones in the bettine were down The attendance was good and the betting fair. In the opening race at five furlongs, Claude Burlingame struck a soft spot with his Hawaiian mare, Lolokulani, and the knowing ones kicked her down from 8to 2to 1. Getting away among the rear ones in the bunch when the flag fell, the black mare from the Jand of poi and hula-huia dances gradually found her way to the front and won handily a half length in front of Sam Marcus. The next event, also a five-furlone dash, was taken by the favorite, Mt. Roy, backed from 8 to 5 to 7 to 10, who led nearly the entire route and finished four lengths in front of Irene E. Irma, carefully handled, was third. The third race on the card over the short six-furlong course, with light welter- weights up, resulted in oneof the prettiest and most exciting finishes seen at the track in some time. Morven was a heavily { backed 6 to 5 favorite, with the two-vear- old Perhaps occupying sccond-choice hon- ors in the betting.. The Judge and Three Forks also had quite a following. When the flag fell Shaw on Perhaps went to the {ront, setting a merry clip, trailed by Mor- ven. Turning the bend for home, heads apart, the two indulged in a rattling drive all the way down the stret both turning wide, one finishing next the outside fence. Some bumping was indulged in, which did not help Morven’s chances, for he was beaten out a head. While Morven and Perhaps were having their nip and tuck battle Chevalier, on Three Forks, who was away next to last when the flag fell, came like a streak on the inside and certainly looked to be the winner, but was placed third. The fourth race at five and a half fur- longs went to the 2to 1 favorite, Hymn, who won cieverly bi a length from Sir Richard. ¥ ad 20 to 1 posted against him in the ring, led up to within a sixteenth from the wire, when he grew weary and finished fourth. day.

The New Ingleside Track Will Open Its Gates Thanksgiving Day. At a meeting of the officials of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, held at the Palace Hotel yesterday, it was decided to post- pone the opening of the new track at Ingleside until Thanksgiving day. This will give the recently armved Rastern OWDNeTs an opportunity to ger their horses in shape and to periect many other minor details, so that nothing may be lacking for the public’'s comfort when the gates are thrown open. The Market-street Railway officials de- cided yesterday to extend the Mission- street electric ‘line from its present ter- minus on Mission road to the new track of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club at Ingleside. Superintendent Lynch stated that it WO require about two weeks to lay the roadbed and have the extension in opera- tion. Acting under instructions, he met the directors of the club in the Palace Hotel and assured them that he would be- gin construction immediately, and added that he weuld have the line in working order on Thanksgiving day. In addition to the electric line, the steamcars from Third and Townsend streets will run direct to the Ingleside | track, and the San Francisco and San Mateo line is to be extended without delay to that place. EITERN PCERS GO, Will Ride at Los Angeles, Santa Ana and Other Southern Points. They Will Return Here Next Month. Other Flyers Coming West This Winter. The Eastern racing teams went scuth last night to compete at the various tional circuit meets for Southern California. Owing to the scarcity of tracks in this part of the State the two days’ meet at San Jose last week was the only one that was held hereabouts. Thereis now no bi track in this City, and the only one a able at Oakland, the mile horse trackat the Oakland Trottimng Fark, was not de- sirable because of the absence of seating facilities. The Santa Rosa track isnot yet completed ; the Petaluma Club did not feel strong enough to handie such a big proposition; the Napa Club could not get a sanction from the racing board, because of its unfair treatment of racing men last September, and so every effort to hold races in Northern California fell through. Those who will most regret this are the ones who saw the riding at San Jose last week. It was of such a sensational order, and so vastly superior toany we have seen | here before, that in future our meets will | seem tame unless competed in by some of the Eastern flyers. | The party which went to Los Angeles last night was composed of E.

Terrill is the only one of the circuit fol- lowers who did not ride at San Jose. This City i3 hishome, and wnen he arrived here he spent so much of his time with his family he had no chanceto train. He will show up well in the south, however. The dates thus far arranged on the southern circuit are as foliows: November 21,22 and 23, Los Angeles; November 27 and 28, Santa Ana; December 2, River- side; December 4, Redlands; December 6, Pomona. Other meets may be provided for the riders at Pasadena, San Bernur-l dino and San Diego. _After the races down south are over the riders will all return to this City, and then the party will disband. Bald and Windle will return East to spend Christmas at home. Some of the others may do like- Wwise, though most ofthem will remain here through the winter. It has been definitely settled that Coulter, who made such a splendid showing here last spring, will not come here this year, but Fred Titus and “‘Dute” Cabanne, Otto Ziegler, John S. Johnson, Arthur Gardiner and other fly- ers, every one of them the equalof the men now here, are expected to winterin | California, and there will be ample oppor- tunity to see more of the high-class racing | the past week furnished, as the den City Cyclers will hold several meets while the men are on the coast.

This race was to have been run on Stow Lake last Sunday, but one of the contestants failed to show up on time. A. large crowd is expected on the run, N FOOTBALL IN THE PARK. The Olympic Team Xasily Disposed of the Berkeley Players in Yester- day’s Gawme. The Olympic Club’s foothall players were very hilarious last evening because the team met the University team of Berkeley in what was announced as a practice game at Central Park yesterday afternoon and wiped the latter's eye. The Berkeley boys failed to score a single point, and when the whistle sounded the end of the game the score stood 2to1lin favor of the Olvmp am. Manager Gill said that he attributed the good success of his team to a change in its personnel; that five players who had not been doir as good work as was expected of them had been removed and their places filled by new men, who did remarkably well. Some of the Berkeley boys said that they allowed their opponents to win so as to give their rivals at Stanford an idea that the blue and gold will not be in the race when the great intercollegiate game of the season will take place. However this may be, it is presumed that Stanford will sell a favorite this year, as the team is in first-class condition and making great progres: A G — Mrs. Siddons’ favorite drink was porter. | nization known as | HAS NO USE FOR BUCKLEY, | | The Committee of Fifty Clearly Repudiates the Blind Boss. | CHAIRMAN SULLIVAN'S ACTION. ‘\District Workers Report Names for the Committee of Four Hun. dred and Fifty. The committee of fifty, which proposes | to reorganize the local Democracy and en- deavor to put it in good, serviceable con- dition for th2 coming campaign, met last | evening in the Flood building and ratified the recent action of its officers in refusing | to have anything to do with Buckley or | any of his adherents. | Chairman Sullivan reported that since the last meeting and without any distinct authorization from the committee he had been in direct communication with the tanch Democrats of the various Assembly districts, and had done some work toward the selecting of the proper men for the | committee of 450, which is expected to supplant the present general committee. He asked that the meeting ratify his action and to keep up the work which he ha< begun. “There is another matter, gentlemen, | which 1 desire to mention,” he said, “and { which I hope you will see in the same | light that I do.” On Saturday last I was !rcquested to meet a party of men who styled themselves local Democrats. “I had no authority from this body to represent it, but I had Leen asked to go and I went. When I heard what they had to say I promptly refused to have any- thing to do with Buckley, his adherents or anything tainted with his influence. ‘Was Iright?” The applause that followed his words left no doubt that the committee was in accord with the speaker, and a member suggested a ratification of the chairman’s | action and a vote of thanks for his stand | in the matter, a measure which was carried | with enthusiasm. | _“Itold them,” said the chairman, who ‘did not mention names, “that the com- mittee of fif s out to do_clean politics | and reorganize the local Democracy on | firm and lasting lines. I knew that this | body vas opposed to anything connected | even in the remotest degree with Buckley, | and your action has confirmed my ideas. | Ithank you.” | The matter of names for the committee of 250 which is to form the nucleus of the committee of 450 was then taken up, and the members from the various districts re- ported their work. The result was as fol- low: Twenty-eizhth 1 Twenty-ninth 15, Thirtieth 15, Thirty-first 16, Thirty-second 12, Thirty-third 17, Thirty-fourth 7, Thirty- xth 5, Thirty-seventh 14, Thirty-ninth Fortieth irst 19, , Forty- third 9, Forty-fourth 16, Forty-fifth 20. The report was accepted as progressive, and it was decided to defer the naming of the remaining committeemen until the ad- journment of the present general com- mittee. A short discussion of the means to be employed to raise the committee and place it on the highest plane of efliciency | followed, and then the meeting adjourned | to the call of the chair. ‘l In all lands ravens and crows have been considered birds of evil omen.
