THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL ’WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1896. !pteresting Report of Important Up-to-Date News Items in Alameda County A DEMAND FOR OPEN PRIARIES, A Mass-Meeting Called at the Tabernacle Thurs- day Night. THE BREACH WIDENS. Many Positive Opinions Ex- pressed by Republicans on Both Sides. VETERANS ARE IN REVOLT. The Army and Navy League Re- solves That Only Primaries Will Satisfy Them. OarLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCo CALL,) 908 Broadway, March 17. § RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this committee that the delegates to the State Convention for the purpose of se- lecting delegates to the National Con- vention be appointed, and that the ap- pointments be made by and the responsi- Dbility rest upon the committeeman from each Assembly district, and such ap- pointment must be ratified by this com- mittee. The above resolution is the rock upon which the Republican party of Alameda County has split. The action of the Alameda County dele- tion of the Third Congressional Dis- ict Republican Committee Saturday has aroused considerable feel Nothing else is talked on the streets by those men who usually fail to take active part in these matts President P. Republican o has issued a call a mass-meeting of citizens on Thurs- day evening. Senator Guy C. Earl, mem- ber of the Congressional Committee, will give an account o proceedings.

They The | selec her of the Second; of getting an expression of ‘the will of the people. Joe Dieves Jr.—I think that it would be better to hold a primary. It’s more satis- factory. ¢ Leslie Blackburn — Of course I was friencly to Eli Denison. He had done me some favors and I said before I knew that any one else would be in the fight that I would do what I could to help him. 1 think that primaries would be the better plan. Even if the result was the same the people would accept it and say we bad a chance to express ourselves. Tais appoint- ment is a bad precedent. If it can bedone once it might be again. A committee might take it upon itself to nominate a whole county convention and put up the whole ticket. Supervisor W. 8. Pelouze—There is not one man in the First Ward that I have spoken with who is not in favor of pri- maries. The whole affair turns on the question of these fellows getting them- selyes returned on the Congressional Com- mittee. They are weil aware that if the peovle could express themselves a set of delegates would be named who would see that representative men were placed on the committee. They want Denison be- cause he1sin a position to reward them by supporting them for positions. _If there was a primary I might vote for Denison, but that does not alter the fact that the committee has no right to force hir on me. John Mitchell, member of the City Re- publican Central Committee from the Sec- ond Ward—I am strongly opposed to the assumption of so much power by any set of men. They may be going everything in good faith, but the people have some rights in this matter. No candidate can be forced on the ople, for if there is there will be a rebellion that will have no uncertain sound at the polls. K. Shattuck—It seems to me that the action of the committee was inadvised. 1 believe that it is better to consult the wishes of the party through primaries. James A. Johnson—The action of the committee is arbitrary, dictatorial and unwarranted. I think the people should be consulted. It looks as though five members of the committee had concluded, “We are the people.” The action of the committee is apparently put up in the in- terest of some person. x-Mayor William R. Davis—The funda- mental principles of our Government is that the people shall have a voice in being governed. Ido not think it is a matter of who shall represent us in the convention, but whether the voters of the party shall have the privilege of expressing themselves in the matter. W. S. Harlow—I am opposed to the com- mitteemen selecting the delegation in this | case. Itisa matter of the rights of the | people and not one as to who shall go to | the National convention. The citizens have some rights which must be respecte:. It is hopea by many Republicans that the Congressional Third District Commit- tee, which meets in San Francisco next Saturday, will refuse to ratify the action of the Alimeda delegation and will order | primaries.

J. Whyte of Sonoma gave the oration, his subject being ‘Patriotism, False and True.” In his remarks he said: The three civilizing influences in this coun- try are the school. the church and the news- | papers.

Teach him to be, not a Californian, nor a New The newspaj | Yorker, nor yet an American, but only a man. Then you teach him true patriotism, no mat- ter what land gives him birth, no matter what race he may spring from, no matter what church he prays in. Want Better Wages. OAKLAND, CaL., March 17.—The Oak- lJand painters and decorators are consider- ing the advisability of at: pting to se- cure a raise of pay from $250 to $3 a day for eight hours” work. However it is likely they will await the result of the| craft's strike in San Francisco before doing | anytbing here. The local union wants rec- ognition by the master painters as well as the workinz-card system so popular across the bay. It isrumored that a new plan of arganization among the journeymen paint- ers will take place shortly, but just what the plan is none of its supporters will say. Gier’s Slander Suit. OAKLAND, CaL,, March 17.—Theddore Gier, the wholesale liquor dealer, is to be the defendant in a §7500 slander suit to be filed in tbe Superior Court by August Krueger. This is the result of an attack by G.er on Krueger in a meeting of the di- rectors of the Merchants’ Exchanee, wherein the latter was charged with try- ing to square cases on which he had | worked up evidence in behalf of the Li- cense Inspector. Later these ¢harges and interviews with Gier were published ina local paper. e e———— HAYWARDS TO CELEBRATE. All Preparations in Line for the Big Y. M. I. Conveution.

The Wife-Murderer Pleads That He ‘Was Temporarily Insane. OAKLAND, CaAL., March 17.—Benjamin L. Hill, who shot and killed his wifea couple of months agoat Twelfth and Kirk- ham streets, in this city, faced a jury to- day 1n Judge Ogden’s court and detailed the story of nis life. District Attorney Charles E. 8nook and Prosecuting Attorney H. A. Melvin of the Police Court represented the people, while ‘fom M. Bradley appeared for the de- fendant. Hill manifested considerable nervousness. He seemed very anxious to say as little as possible, and rarely did more than answer in a concise manner the questions propounded. 3 Hill had_only just begun his testimony when an elderly lady, bearing in her arms a boy about two years of age, entered the room. They were not ncticed by the de- fendant, but as soon as the baby saw the defendant he gave evidence of recognition by smiling and making an attempt to ém toward the witness. It was the accused’s son. The resemblance was remarkable, Several times the little fellow extended a small bouquet which he carried toward his father, but the tribute of affection was unnoticed. Hill said his father was a man of violent E. P. VANDERCOOK. | { | taining the Supervisors in awarding the l franchise from this city to Livermore to | E. P. Vandercook has removed the last | obstacle in the way of the construction of | the road. | A few months ago Mr. Vandercook went East and received many pledges of support | for his road when the cloud on the fran- | chise was settled. Now that the franchise | has been affirmed the construction of the | road will be pushed with all possible | baste. i The new road will start at the terminus | of the present system managed by E. P. | Vandercook at Fruitvale. From there it | will go along the foothills toward Hay- | wards, only keeping well to the north of the county road, which is traversed by the | Haywards electric line. A branch will run from the main line to Haywards. The | line will run to Livermore and thence to | the Corral Hollow mines and will be oper- | ated by electricity and will be adapted so | asto carry both freight and passengers. | It will open up much new territory and | such a line has been in demand for several | years. | The rights of way over such parts of the } route as are not county-roads have been willingly donated by the owners, with one | or two exceptions near San Leandro. The | opposition in this neighborhood is attrib- uted to the agency of the Haywards road, which is of course? not anxious to see any portion of its route paralleled. For sev- | eral months surveyors have been in the field and the routeisallselected. In some | places there are two or three rontes pro- | posed, but a choice will soon be made now | that the matter of the franchise is settled. For some time the directors of the com- pany have been trying to close a contract | with the Corral Hollow people by which | the new line shall have the exclusive right | to haul coal to tide-water in Oaklapd fora | stated period of years. It is the trade from the vast developments of Corral Hol- | low that the new line is chiefly depending upon, as the freight will be enormous | when the coal mines open up for business. | It has been calculated that coal can be de- livered at one-half the prevailing prices. The contract, however, has not yet been | made. | Mr. Vandercook states that assoon as i the preliminaries are completed work will be commenced. It would have been diffi- sult to have worked throughout the past winter, and the directors are elated that the Supreme Court bas reached such an early decision, as it will enable work to be rosecuted under the most favorable con- itions of weather. Tracklaying will com- mence ina few weeks atseveral points along the proposed route, and it 1s ex- pected that within a year the road will be in operation. The terms upon which the franchise was granted was considered by the Supervisors to be very favorable. The company has to provide electric ower for lighting and heating the County }’ufirmary on the slope back of SnuILeanI-l t will | dro where the new road will run. also maintain electric-lightsalong the road at stated intervals, and must pay one-quar- ter of 1 per cent of the gross earnings of the road into the county treasury and a | cash amount of $25. g The bid of A. D. Thompson which was taken before the Suvreme Court was 213)cr cent of the gros: earnings of the live. The court ruled that Thompson’s offer was not a cash one, as contemplated by the act. PATTISO!

He went into a closet off | the office and shot himself. I went with the crowd and saw my father lying dead with blood coming from a pistol wound in the head. He had been acting in an un- certain manner for some time before the tragedy. The Corgner’s jury returned a verdict of suicide while laboring under in- sanity.” _The witness then told of his troubles with his wife, of her being deficient in truthful- ness, of her fondness for dancing parties against his wishes, of her keeping compan; with other men, of her going out riding bi- cycles in bloomer costume regardless of his remonstrance and, finally, or her ad- mission of infidelity and herdesire to have no more to do with him and declaring she would not live with him. _He then repeated the story told at the time of the shooting, how he had in a fit of insane jealousy shot her as she was tell- ing him this last.

IGNORANT OF HER DESERTION, Pretty Little Fay Stetsofi Is Taken to the Hu- mane Society. A CHILD OF WEALTH. < Her Unnatural Parents Said to Have Disappeared From Oakland. ’ LEFT AT THE CHABOT HOUSE. If Not Claimed at Once Mrs. Prescott Will Take Out Letters of Guardianship. OAELAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,| 908 Broadway, March 17. } ‘When Mrs. Lydia A. Prescott, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, arrived at her office this morning ' a pretty little blonde girl 18 months old, with all her wardrove wrapped up in 8 newspaper was awaiting her. Matron Glud of the Chabot Home for Children, on Oak and Seventh, had brought the child to turn her over to the Humane Society as being deserted by her parents. Two weeks ago, Mrs. Glud said, the little one had been brought to her private board- ing-house by a stylishly dressed young man who said he was the father of the child; that the mother was staying at the Oak-street Sanitarium and that he wished to engage board for the child. % The arrangement was made to care for it for the sum of $7 monthly. The man gave his name as Stetson and said his business was that of a painter. He made a2 deposit of $2, promising to call in two days later with the other $5. He has failed to show up, or communicate with Mrs. Glud, and she fears, as two weeks’ time has elapsed, that she has been duped. Further, she has inquired at the Sanita- rium and discovered that the lady calling herself Mrs. Stetson has also disappeared. The circnmstances are considered suspi- cious, and unless the parents of little Fay Stetson make their appearance she will be placed in some charitable institution as an abandoned babe. She is a remarkably pretty child, and several persons who have seen her have been won by her cute ways and are anxious to adopt her if she becomes the ward of Mrs. Prescott. Mrs. Prescott is making a vigorous search for the parents, and if found will compel them to care for and support their child. g The clothes worn by the child are of fine texture, and this 1s taken toindicate that her parents are people in good circum- stances.
