THE SAN FgZANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27 1896. BUID SAYS JETER VILL HOLD OVER, Decares No Vacancy in the Office of Lieutenant- Governor. SEEKS A COURT TEST. Usless Mandamused He Will Omit That Place in His Elec- tion Preclamation. THE CASE MADE A PRECEDENT The Tenure of Superior Judge Carter of Fresno to Be Similarly Extended. SACRAMENTO, CaL., May 26.—When Governor Budd.issues his election pro- clamation this fall, the people of the State will fail to receive official notice that any vacancy has occurred in the office of Lieu- tenant-Governor through the death of Millard ; nor will any notice be taken of the fact that one of the Superior Judges of Fresno having joined the great majority his position has been filled by the appoint- ment of Stanton L. Carter, unless the Supreme Court, through the issuance of a writ of mandamus, compels his Excellency to appear before it and show cause why he fails to recognize these vacancies. Should the writ fail of issuance, W. T. Jeter will continue to occupy the office of Lieutenant-Governor, and Carter the posi- tion of Su perior Judge of FresnotCounty, the Supreme Court Laving in the past de. cided that any office not included in the ‘Governor’s proclamation cannot be filled by election of the people. Several months ago, as published at the time in THE CaLL, Governor Budd stated that he was not sure bat that Jeter could hold over on his appointment, and that it would not be necessary to deciare thata vacancy existed in the office of Lieutenant- Governor. The matter has again been brought to his notice by a letter receivea yesterday from Judge Paterson of San Francisco, presumably making inquiries as 10 what action the Governor wouid take this fall in recard to the allezed vacancy in the superior judgeship of Fresno County. When questioned upon the sub- ject to-day the Governor said : “I have fully made up my mind not to declare any vacancies in either the office of Lieutenant Govérnor or Superior Judge ; in fact, [ will fail to mention either office in my election proclamation, unless man- damus proceedings are commenced to compel me to do so. 1 shal! probably be asked to announce such vacancies, but will refuse. “Then steps can be taken in mandamus and this mooted question can be settled for all time by & decision of the Supreme Court. I want to say that 1 have no self- ish motive to subserve in taking such action, although I admire Jeter greatly. My object is to place the matter in such a form as will allow it to be brought before the Supreme Court.” “Will youstate the nature of the letter you forwarded in answer to Judge Pater- son’s query?”’ “No, 1 must refuse to do so,” answered the Governor, *‘as to a certain extent it is persoual yet. But I will most emphati- cally state that I will not include any an- nouncements of vacauncies filled by appointments uniess compelled to do so.” The Governor suggested to Judge Pater- son thatit was possible that the law of 1883, requiring the Governor to advertise proposed constitutional amendmentsin at least four newspapers of general circnla- tion, had been superseded by a later law re- quiring county clerks to mail to each voter in the county a copy of all proposed amenaments. This, he was inclined to think, was sufficient publication, and he suggested that this matier be included in the mandamus proceedings. e ALIBI FOR CALLENDINE. Witnesses Claim to Have Seen Him on the Night of the Carshops Raid. SACRAMENTO, Can.,, May 26.—That the defense in the case of L. L. Callendine, on trial before the Superior Court for the robbery of the electric company’s car barn last Christmas éve, will endeavor to estab- lish'un alibi was -evident this afternoon when Mamie Harris, the nine-year-old aaughter of ‘“Jack” Harris, went upon the stand and swore positively that her father’s slayer had come to her mother’s house be- {ore supper on Christmas eve, brought her a doll and other playthings, and remained there the entire evening. It is also stated that Mrs, Callendine (nee Harris) will take the stand to-morrow and testify taat Cal- lendine was at her house at the time it is alleged the robbery was committed, and her sister will substantiate her testimony. Mrs. Baker, the wife of one of the defend- ants, aleo testified to-day tbat her hus- band was in her company. all of Christmas eve. SANTA CRUZ HUAPI'_I‘ALITI. AUl Who Attend the Water Fote Will Be Well Cared For. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., May 26.—A resolu- tion was adopted by the carnival trustees 1ast night, denying the report circulated last year that this city could not accom- modate large numbers of visitors, and assuring the public that Santa Cruz could accommodate all who came, even if the number exceeded 25,000. The public was further assured by the committee that’ any effort to overcharge by dealers would be prevented, the hotel dnd restaurant men having agreed to fix a uniform price. Arrangements were decided apon for the enczagement of a San Francisco costumer to be here for the accommodation of per- sons who desire to participate in the bigh jinks parade aund ball on the closing night. Projessor Clark, superintendent of the public schools, promises four attractive and appropriate floats representing the schools in the water parade. % The Saturday Night Club will appear in the water parade in a barge of unique design. Encouraging letters were received to-day from Senators Perkins and White regard- ing the presence here of vessels from the Pacific squadron. Senator Perkins writes that the matter was referred to the Secre- tary of the Navy, who had instructed Admiral Beardslee to grant the request if possible. Assurances have already been received from Admiral Beardslee.” e - 2 NEVADA RAILWAY CHANGE. Superintendent ¥erington to Retire From the Virginia and Truckee.

HUMBOLOT COUNTY R, Eureka Begins Preparations for the Agricultural Display in September. Liberal Purses to Be Offered for Competitors in Horse and | Bicycle Races. EUREKA, Cavn., May 26.—Active prep- arations have already been begun for an | extensive agricultural and mechanical fair to ve held in Eureka from September 14 to September 19 inclusive. An effort will be | made to make this the greatest affair of its | kind ever held in Northern California. | The race purses will be large enough to bring into competition the best horses in | the State. The committee in charge also hopes to | outside the county enter for the events. Daniel Mur- phy, Custom-house officer for the Port of Eureka, has been chosen president of the association and L. L. Ayers secretary. The directors are all leading business men. It is the desire of the association to make the women’s department particu- larly interesting. With this end in view a number of ladies prominent in art circles have the department in charge. The subscription committee, consisting of Supervisor Clark and Alexander Cor- mick, the owner of the fast stallion Way- land W, has been at work but a few days, but has secured §3000. The business men are alive to the possibilities the fair holds out for country trade, and will endeavor to make it a success. e INDIAN WAR VETERANS, Fourteen Hundred in the Pacific North- west to Fse Pensioned. PORTLAND, Or., May 26.— Fourteen bhundred Indian War veterans in the Pa- cific Northwest are to be benefited by the Mitchell bill, which has passed the United States Senate, to pension survivors of In- dian wars of the '50's, and volunteers who served in the Cayuse war of 1847-48. The act, when finally approved, will include the widows of veterans and will give them $8 per month. Besides pensioning the sur- vivors the bill also contemplates the reim- bursement of the State’s preserves for large losses which have been unacknowl- edged and unvaid since the time of the Territorial Government of Oregon. In the Rogue River and Yakima wars of 1855-56 volunteers were -called for to help the regular soldiers, and men and prop- erty were furnished by the settlers of Oregon and Washington to an aggregate amount of over $6,000,000. The United States assumed the debt, but before paying the claim scaled it down about half, un- justly withnolding $3,296,649 due the people for services rendered and property furnished. S S e MERCED OFFICERS ARRESTED. Dowst and Colline Charged With the Killing of an Innocent Man. MERCED, ‘CaL., May 26.—District At- torney Ostrander swore out a warrant yes- terday charging David Dowst and James Collins with manslaughter, in having caused the deatb of an unknown man, by shooting him on May 11.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wasu., May 26.—A donkey engine used in loading lumber into the schooner Lucipara at Port Hadlock mill exploded yesterday, scattering lumber in every direction and seriously injuring three men ai work near the en- gine. - Engineer C. H.

Caughran, a prominent business man litician, dropped dead this morning rom heart disease. He was heavily en- ed in mining and was a member of the e T ~fifth District. family, EASY 10 PICK AT FIRST, Favorites Won the First Three Events, When Outsiders Began Scoring. COMMISSION’S UNLUCKY TUMBLE Dolore Took the Tweo-Year.0ld Dash. Oregon Eclipse Surprises the Crowd. For three races the veriest novice could guess the winning horses at the track yes- terday. The first and second choices crossed the line as they were played in the betting ring. Then there came a change, and much of the talent’s winnings were swept away. Instigator, Nell Flaherty and Oregon Eclipse passed the wire ahead of their fields, carrying little coin outside of a certain wise backing. The aitendance was rather limited. Es- pecially does this refer to the fair specula- tors, who usually throng the balconies; cooler spots and iced punches evidently proving a stronger attraction. A bad tumble in the fifth event, a six- furlong sprinting affair, undoubtedly de- prived the backers of the favorite, Com- mission, the pleasure of getting in line. ‘White & Clarke’s lumbering gelding was considered a “‘moral” by the stable, and his odds were hammered down from 3 to 2 to 4 to 5. While striding to the front down the backstretch he jumped on Joe Cotton, stumbled and threw Lloyd heavily to the ground. Nell Flaherty, a 10 to 1 choice, who was out in the lead, then won, with little to spare, by a couvle of lengths in 1:15. Nervoso in a drive took the place from Rebellion. The Garden City stable’s Warrago, with but 99 pounds in the saddle, looked a cer- tainty for the first race of the day, a six- furlong run, and 4 to 5 looked a long price against her. Taking the lead from Mon- arch at the far turn she opened up several lengtbsof daylight and won asshe pleased, with the second choice, Sweet Briar, taking the place from Linville. Viking got another flying start in the two-year-old half-mile scramble, and after being backed down from4to 1tollto5 led untila furlong from the wire, when the 605 choice Dolore drew ahead and “THE CALL” RACING CHART.

Road Wurmer, backed from twos to 8 to 5, outsprinted Red Bird before a third of the distance had been covered and eased ur at the finish passed the stand a couple of lengths in advance of Free Will, the second choice. Red Bird was a close third. The Cambridge stable’s Red Glen was the first to stop the conquering march of the favorites. So liberally backed was he that his opening odds of even money gave way to 7 to 10 nearing post time. e was never able to get to the front and finished outside of the money.

TRACK AND PADDOCK ITEMS, This is the closing day of the racing sea- son at the Bay District track. Inglesiae will reopen to-morrow for its final two- weeks' meeting.

CITY EXPENSES WILL COME HIGH, big Appropriations Needed by the School De- partment. A MISSION HIGH SCHOOL. Fifty Extra Policemen and New Stations and Horses Needed. WHAT MR. ASHEWORTE WANTS, Contemplated Street Improvements Would Cost Nearly a Mil- Jion Dollars. The Finance Committee of the Board of Education held a long and important ses- sion last evening to decide on the amount of money to be asked from the Board of | Bupervisors for the maintenarce of the School Department for the coming fiscal year. It was decided that nothing short of radical changes would satisfy the growing demands of the department, and that in order to properly carry on the work of tLe schools nearly twice as much money would be necessary as was appropriated for 1895-96. Last year $1.250,000 was asked, but the Board of Supervisors cut the estimates to $1,036,000, with which the department was compelled to be satisfied, in addition to the rents of the Lincoln School property, which aggregate about $38,000 a year. This year the board willask for $250,000, with which to build a new High School for the Mission. Of this sum $75,000 is estimated for a building site. The Supervisors will also be asked for $52,000 for the rebuilding of the Marshall Grammar School, which is said to be in bad condition. Then there are a number of schools where the sanitarye arranzments are in very bad condition and $100,000 will be asked for repairs in this and otber lines. Another municipal department has in its estimate for expenses for the coming fiscal year and as usual the amount asked is far in excess of the sum appropriated by the Supervisors when the last tax levy wos fixed. The latest applicant for municipal funds is the Po ica Department, which asks the m-~dest sum -f $903,705 for 1896-97, or over $134,000 more than last year. The heavies item of this inerease is for the filly additional patrolmen that Chief Crowlev has asked for. This will take for salaries $61,200, while three new police stations that the department desires to build will cost $15, New horses for patrol wazons will cost $3375.

The Lillie and the Ocean Spray Sud- denly Come to Grief Off the Heads. A collision occurred between two schoon- ers yesterday off Bakers Beach which re- sulted in a loss of several hundred dollars to each of the vessels, but luckily nobody was injured or killed. The cause of the collision may be at- tributed to an excess of confidence, amount- ing almost to carelessness, upon the part of the skippers. The schooners were bound out, and whe they neared each other were beating underlight winds. In attempting to pass it was discovered too late that they could not clear themselves. The Ocean Spray struck the stern of the Lillie, and then their masters decided that it would be prudent for them to return to port. The Lillie. which had just come off the Merchants’ dry dock, had her new foresail badly torn and her aft rail considerably damaged. The headgear of the Ocean Spray was carried clean away. —_———— Mr. Gronlund’s Lecture.
