DISSATISFIED DEMOCRATS Robert Fitzgerald Outlines His . Reasons for Making a Contest. This eve Chairman Laymance Says That There Is Not Ground for Complaint in Alameda. 0ax1AND OFFICE SaAN FrANcisco CALL, } 908 Broadway, June 6. There will be an aftermath to yesterday’s Democratic primaries at the State con- vention. R. M. Fitzgerald is not satistied that all was fair, and when asked what he thought | of the result to-day he said: I will probably contest the election in | Alameda, #s 1 do not consider it strictiy fair. | There was only one polling place, although in the committee’s call that had been issued there were supposed to be two polling places in order to give tll achance to vote. There were only 275 votes yone«x‘yuuerd-y in Ala- meds, while in the eleéction of Governor Budd | 500 votes were polled. The reason of the | small vote isclear to me. The polling-blace was two miles away from a large number.of the voters. They would neither walk four miles for registration or voting and the result is & large number did not cast a ballot. The fact that there would be two polling- | places had been published in the cail of the | committee and fully agreed upon; then the | committee met quietly one evening and | changed its plan 8o there would be only one | polling-place. The result was tnat many did not vote at all, other votes were challenged on the %round that their names were not properly | enrolled and the votes cast ont. I shall prob- ably bring the matter before the State Conven- tion. 1may also contest the election in West Berkeley if the reports I have heard are con- firmed. ~According to reports, men went to the polls and voted again and again. However, I do not know that these reports As for the charge of stuffing thc are true. | Third Ward, I really cannot understand what was the matter with the eiection there. A number of my friends, residents of the ward, | when they went to the polls found their names had already been voted upon. As for W. W. Foote’s vote being refused, that was a little | mistake and has been explained by the elec- tion clerk. Each man was checked off, and in this case the check mark of the name below Mr. Foote’s ran up on to the space where his name was, and at first glance the clerk, who did not know the. gentleman, thought the name had been voted. M. J. Laymance, the winner in yester- day’s contest, said: All I know of the matter is that we have done just what we said we would do and have heid fair and square primaries as far as our side 18 concerned. Let them talk all they want to, but we can siand with a clear conscie:ce in the knowledge that our efforts have been for the interest of the party and for good, honest primaries. Wi reglrd to a possible Alameda contest I have nothing to say, and I am perfectly satis- fied to let matters stand as they are. Iam not atall inclined to crow, but I fully appreciate the fact that we nchieved a glorious v"cmry. As regards the complaint Mr, Fitzgerald makes regarding Alemeda he knows very well that the committee over there crdered the primaries condudted at one polling-place. An attempt was made by the opposition to split ap ihe places for casting the votes; this was illegal as the committee passed on the ques- tion. F. J. Moffit in speaking to-day of the Third Ward matter said: There will bea contest for the seat claimed by McDouald. Gross iraud was perpetrated. As an illusiration, they voted Mr. Foote's name aud also Mr. Sinclair’s of the Produce Company.

He Views With Horror the Latest Probable Additions to His Labors. NEW UNIFORM IS NECESSARY. A Simple Question That Has Been Brought Before the Town Trustees. SAN LEANDRO, Car., June 6.—The Towy Trustees are wrestling with a new problem, Now, that the way has been straightened out for the issuing of bonas for a municipal electric light system, the attention of the city fathers has been di- rected toward the misdoings of bees. San Leandro is in the midst of the great flower and fruit gardens of Alameda County, and the many delicate blooms are the prowling grounds of thousands of stray bees. The recent increase in the number of bee-keepers is alarming, and formal complaints have been lodged with the Trustees about the damage caused by bees when sucking honey from their berry grounds. . Trustee Eber brought the matter up at the last meeting of the Trustees, and it was taken under advisement. is now being made with an ordinance that shall restrain the bees from being guilty of va_Frsucy. k he roaming tendency of bees being so well known the Town Attorney is experi- encing considerable difficulty in framing rules that the bees can be made to respect. The suggestion thut any one who finds stray bees on his premises shall be at lib- erty to destroy them is not likely to be dcted upon as the task of chasing bees is not regarded with favor. David Ury suggested that Marshal Geis- enhoffer be instriucted to watch the bees, but his idea was not received with favor. Mr. Ury did not see that there was any- thing unusualin his plan, but when 1t was suggested that the Marshal could not A struggle | be expected to know the home of every bee he might meet the resolution to in- struct him was withdrawn. “It is a very difficuit matter to deal with,” said the Marshal to-day. ‘“Bees are bees and they will go for their honey where they can find 1t. It will not do much good to pass an ordinance ordering them to patronize a wheat field, because they will not do it. It will also be of no use ordering their owners to prevent them from leaving the hive, because that would be cruelty to animals. Neither will it do any good to declare it a nuisance to keep bees within the city limits, because bees have wings and cannot be expected to know when they enter the forbidden territory. “The subject, seemingly a small one, is | really of gredt importance. The number of bee-keepers is increasing, and there is no doubt that a swarm of bees can do an immense amount of harm when they sys- tematically visit a raspberry brake or a strawberry patch. There ought to be some way of keeping the bees out of mischief, but it is not an easy matter to handle. Tue suggestion that I watch the bees is out of tie question, for it would be | 'an impossibility. "I suppose I should have | to wear a bee-hunting uniform. It would e to be stingproof, and I should need a wire helmet and gauntlets and a bigscoop- net with which to catch the bees. “Then it would be necessary to register the bee-owners, and each one would have to leave a sample of his particular brand of honey-maker with me so that I could identify the vagrants. Even after 1 had | done this 1t would be difficultto prove that the particular bee under arrest had been uilty of sucking bleoms outside his own territory. I don’t think there will bea bee ordinance for a while yet. Personally 1am not partial to bees.” Much difference of opinion exists as to whether bees can be declared nuisances and ordered outside of certain limits, There are many points to be considered before San Leandro’s Trustees pass a bee vrohibition ordinance.

A San Francisco Barber Creates Con- siderable Excitement in a Store. OAKLAND, Can., June 6.—Abraham Bergholtz, a San Francisco barber, made things lively aboat a local store this morning in an adempt to see his wife who worked there but who refused to see him. The couple have not been living to- gether, she having left him some time ago because of his cruelty. Itis charged that he has threatened her life, and even exhibited a razor in his rage, but it was taken from him' before he could do any harm. . When he made his appearance this morning in the store his wife weat to the basement and the proprietor met the man and refused his request to see his wife. Bargholtz left the store, but jimped down tle elevator shaft on the sidewalk and be- gan a_search for the woman.

OAKLAND, CaL., June 6.—There will be a meeting at the Asbury Methodist Church South Tuesday evening, when the aims and purposes of Ballington Booth’s new American Volunteers organization will be fully discussed and the matter of establishing a local branch will be con- sidered? Up to this time the Salvation Army workers here have considered themselves too deeply entrenched for the new branch to get established bere, but now itis nearly certain that the new organization will enter the field and divide the work with the older army. Junior Endeavorers. OAKLAND, CaL., June 6.—The annual convention of the Alameda County Junior Christian Endeavor Union was held last evening at the Union-street Presbyterian Church.

GATES, BUT MO FARES City Trustee Hammond Inter- views J. A Fillmore on the Proposition. City Attorney Taylor Loses His Wife by Blcod Poisoning—Laundry Farm Picnic. ALAMEDA, Car., June 6.—The ques- tion of gates on the local trains and fares being charged can now be taken as being definitely settled. City Trustee William Hammond, chair- man of the Street Committee, determined that some authoritative settlement of the question shouid be made before the gates went on, if they were to go. Witk this purpose in view he went to San Francisco this morning to interview General Man- ager Kruttsehnitt, On his return Mr. Hammond said: “I could not see Mr. Kruttschnitt as he was out of town, but I saw J. A. Fillmore. 1told him what I had come over about, and explained the situation to him, and how the people were worked up over the matter.” Mr. Fillmore said there was no need for fear on the part of the Alameda people. Gates were going to be put on as a con- venience to the public and as a means of preventing accidents, He assured Mr. Hammond that the company bad no in- tention of charging fares for riding within the city limits on either the broad or nar- row gauge trains. “] asked him,” said Mr. Hammond, “What about the future?”’ “Let me assure you once again,” said Mr. Fillmore, “it is not the company's in- tention now, or at any future time, to charge fares for city-limit traveling. Your residents can rest easy on that point.” As to the gates Mr. Hammond does not think any serious objection will be made by the citizens. ‘‘They can be allowed to be tried. If public safety is increased and no inconvenience experienced they will be allowed to remain as long as no fares are charged.” Death of Mrs. E. K. Taylor. ALAMEDA, Cau, June 6.—The com- munity received a shock this mornin when it became known that the wife ol E. K. Taylor, City Attorney, was dead. She had been ill since last Saturday and was to have undergone an operation, but was too weak to stand the ordeal. Her death was caused by blood poisoning. Mrs. Taylor was a native of Suisun, Cal., and was Sgyenrs of age. Her father, Rev. W. R.

New Electric Locomotive. ALAMEDA, CaAvn., June 6.—The Cali- fornia Raiiway Company opened its line from the Park-street biidge to-day by a monster pienic for the children At(ending the puch schools, their teachers an arents, in the company's grounds at Lundry Farm. The grounds cover 400 acres and are extremely picturesque and diversified, forming an ideal spot for rec- reation, within easy access of Alameda and Oakland. By noon ‘over 1000 versons were on the grounds. 2 The electric locomotive is the first one of its kind in tbe State and was built in Oakland. It is an exact duplicate, ona smaller scale, of that used on the Baiti- more and Obio Railroad and weighs thirty tons. The electric locomotive runs very well for & first attempt, but the engineer says that a few minor alterations have to be made, which wiil increase its power up the steep grades. Encinal Yacht Club.

THE AMENDMENTS CANNOT BE MADE, Berkeley Town Charter Will Be Unchanged for Some Years. CHANGES UNPOPULAR. Alterations Can’t Be Made Until the Legislature Meets in 1899. UNITARIAN SUMMER MEETINGS A “School of Religious Thought” to Be Conducted in Stiles Hall, Beginning To-Day. BERKELEY, Can, June 6.—There is no likelihood or even possibility of any changes being made in the town charter for several years yet. The movement for amendments is finally squelched by di- recting attention 1o a provision in the State constitution of California to the effect that no changes can be made in a town charter like that of Berkeley within two years of its adoption. Berkeley’s charter is only one year old, so that the period through which it must remain un- altered will last till after the next session of the State Legislature. Hence noamend- ments cou'd be adopted until the Legisia- ture of January, 1899. The movement to change the charter has not been indorsed locally, and would grohubly never reach the State Legislature ecause it would fail 10 receive enough votes in Berkeley. The proposal to amend the charter so that each Trustee would be voted for by the whole town, instead ot each in his own ward, meets with strong opposition. There are great differences between the voting strength of the different wards, and it is said that an injury would be done to the smaller wards by the Eropouea change. Ward Three, which is the largest in Berkeley, would practically control the nomination for member of the Town Board ffom all wards under the system suggested, as its Jarge voting strength would make 1ts support indispensable to all candidates. The other wards would therefore lose power by such an amend- ment and will oppose 1t. As the proposition must carry in Berke- ley by a three-fifths majority before it goes to the State Legislature there is small chance of the amendment mentioned be- lnf carried out. The other changes, making the office of Town_ Attorney, Town neer and Superintendent of Streets elective, and reducing terms of offices to two years, are not thought to be much more popular than the more important one, and it is the general opinion that the new charter wilt be unchanged for many years. Unitarian Meetings. BERKELEY, CAL., June 6.—The first of a series of meetings designated as a “Sum- mer School of Religious Tkought” will be held to-morrow morning in Stiles Hall under the auspices of the Unitarian Society. “The meetings are not regular services of the Unitarian church,” said Rev. E. B. Payne, pastor of thatchurch, “The pur- pose of the gatherings is to study the spirit, aims, methods and history of the liberal religious movement in this country. “We shall use as a basis of study Chad- wick’s volume on ‘Old and New Unitarian- ism,’ and we invite our friends to come as open-eyed, freeminded students of human and divine realities.’” The plan of the Unitarians for open-air meetings has been abandoned partly be- cause of the uncertainty of warm weather. Presented by the Debaters. BERKELEY, CaL., June 6.—Professor Gayiey has received from the Bast a large portrait of Daniel Webster, presented to the forensic department of the university by the intercollegiate debaters of last term—F. H. Dam, Joseph O’Conner and M. C. Flaherty, all of the class of 96, The three debaters were awarded a prize of $200 as winners of the contest against Stanford and applied the money to the purchase of the gift that has just arrived.

Dreyfus’ Dancing Class En- tertains the Parents and Friends. Miss M. F. Dreyfus’ dancing class gave a ‘most delightful entertainment Friday evening at Union-square Hall. At 8 o'clock, wbhen the grand march was inaugurated, there was not even standing room, the hall being crowded with the parents and many friends of the pupils. The little ones, in their gorgeous danc- ing gowns, moved through the intricate measures of the fancy and charactenstic dances with a grace and precision that raflected great credit upon their talented young teacher. The programme was pleasantly varied by vocal contributions. Jennie Metzler Urban, a wee tot of four summers, suc- ceeded in winning unstinted applause for her tea-party song and dance. As far as the dancing was concerned, the honors of the evening fell to Miss Adele Morgenstern. The tiny danseuse is a beauty of the southern type, with a rich dark skin, glorious brown eyes and hair the color of the raven’s wing. Attired in a rich Oriental costume, she moved through the measures of the Persian scarf dance with graceful abandon. Miss Carrie Doliiver was much admired in the Highland fling, and was presented with a doll, her teacher’s reward for ex- emplary conduct. The following is the evening’s programme in full Grand march aud line exercise. Lovers' Quarrei..
