THE SAN ¥FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 9, — R T 1896. LAYMANCE CALLS IT A BIG BLUFF, Fleming Formally Presents His Protest From Alameda. MAY UPSET EVERYTHING Credentials Issued to All Dele- gates Elected on the Returns. CONTEST IN THIRD WARD. Alameda’s Fate Will Be Settled by the State Committee on Credentials. OAKLAND, Car., June 8.—The Demo- cratic County Committee met to-night to issue credentials and hear protests from districts that claim that the results of last week’s primary were optained by fraud. Chairman Laymance issued the creden- | bal protest was of no avail, but that he did it so as not to waive ‘any of his rights. He created some surprise by stating that he had met Frank H. Gould at Stockton and had conversed with him on the situa- tion. A warm discussion took place between Mr. Fleming and Mr. Rawson, another committeeman from Alameda. Mr. Raw- son said that Mr. Fleming’s account of how things occurred over there was not true, and Mr. Fleming declined to dis- cuss anything with anybody who could not use gentlemanly language. Mr. Lay- mance smoothed matters over and Mr. Flemming proceeded to outline his case. When he said he had met Mr. Buckley in San Francisco Mr. Laymance said ex- citedly: “There you are showing your hand, old man. You've seen Frank Gould and you met Buckley, and yetsome of your men say that I was helped by, Buck- i ley. Lot me tell you what Buckley’s man, Rothschild, did to me the day of the pri- maries. He sentaspecial man over here to serve some papers on me that would have caused me a great deal of trouble, but I was busy and not at my office, and 1 was not served till next day. That's the kind | of help I got from Buckley.”? e | “Well, 'm not a Fitzgerald man,’” said rleming. *“I merely tried to help out Kearney. He is a Fitzgerald delegate and is employed at_the Mint, and, of course, a man whether in the Custom-house or the | Mint has to get out and do politics once in | a while to hoid his job. Kearney is a man with a large family and supports his aged mother, and I just stood by him as man to man. I have always been friendly to Mr. Laymance, but I went into this to belp Kearney. 1i we had received all the clubrolis we asked for everything would have been all right. However, 1 realize that this fight is not to be made here. I shall issue credentials to the Fitzgerald | delegate and this matter will be fought out at Sacramento. “You will issue credentials to men who | received four votes and will disfranchise the 270 men who voted for the successful candidates. Now, look here, Fleming, | you know perfectly well that this affair is | just one big, cold bluff. It won’t work though, I can promise you.” tials to all the delegates that the returns showed to have been elected, with the ex- | ception of the Third Ward. In that ward W. B. White, the defeated delegate, pre- sented a protest sustained by affidavits. The leading affidavit was sworn to by B. W. Worley, and the most damaging statement in it is the following: After Mr. White had stated his case the matter was set over till next Saturday for final settlement. To the surprise of the committee the much-talked-of contests from Alameda were not presented, nor was anybody present to raise any objection to the issu- ing of credentials to the Laymance dele- gates. After the committee had adjourned John T. Fleming of Alameda, vice-chair- man of the county commitree, appeared at headquarters and toia Chairman Lay- mance that he wished to enter a verbal protest against the seating of the Lay- | mance delegates from Alameaa. _“Our grounds are these,” said Mr. Fleming: “In the first ?lnce we were reiused a suflicient number of copies of the roll to run the primaries as we desired. We did not consider that under the call the executive committee had anything | to do with the manner of con- ducting our primaries, as it disinctly stated that the County Committeeman of the district should supervise the primary. We claim that many Democrats were d franchised ; that one polling-place at Park street was insufficient, as it required that men should come three miles from the other end of town to vote, d away on this account; 1at 1f the primaries had been co sert ducted under tne call, we could have elected our delegation by a vote of 2 to 1.”” In explanation of his position, Mr. Fleming said: ‘‘We opened a polling- place in the west end and kept it open all day. Four votes wers recorded in the | ballot-box, and we claim that if only one vote had been deposited, it would be sufti- | cient to uphold our contest. As vice- “Well, I came over here to perform an unpleasant duty,” said Mr. Fleming. “I have done it, so good night, gentlemen,” and Mr. Fleming returned to Alameda. On the result of these two protests hangs the fate of Foote and Fitzgerald. Ala- meda has four delegates and the Third Ward has one. The returns showed that | the Laymance-Foote ticket had elected 21 out of 35, leaving 14 for Fitzgerald. Should the five delegates contested be given to Fitz- gerald, the figures will be Laymance 16, Fitzgerald 19. Everybody realizes that merit will cut no figure in either fight at | Sacramento, but that all will depend on | the partisanship of the credentials com- mittee. MORE.

When the streets were crowded and the | street cars filled with passengers last even- ing a man, who had neglected to exchange his check for a transfer, boarded a Valen- ciar car at Powell and Market streets bound west. After passing the junction at Powell street he was summarily ejected by the gripman and the conductor. He attempted to get on the car again and the scrimmage between him and the car men was renewed. A crowd soon sur- rounded the combatants and as usual its sympathies were all with the passenger. chairman of the County Committee, I shall issue credentials to the delegates who received those four votes.” Mr. Laymance stated that a verbal pro- | test was not authentic and that Fleming | should have appeared before the whole | com mittee. | Mr. Fleming said he realized that a ver- | The starter of the company, stationed at the junction, ran to the aid of the grip- man and conductor, but was seized and held back by several of the bystanders.

He immediately deposited $20 bail and was set at liberty. The passenger who had been the un- witting cause of all the excitement in the meantime boarded his car and rode away without being further molested by the scared employes of the company. Several conductors and gripmen also tried toeject a passenger from a McA nster street car on Market street, near I ojwell, yesterday afternoon. E. C. Howe, a young student, got on the dummy of the car, and along wi h the others shouted to the passenger to hold on. Detective Crockett jerked Howe off the car and told him to keep his mouth shut. Howe answered that he was doing noth- ing wrong, and Crockett could arrest him if he felt that way. Crockett then grabbed him by the arm so hard that it was black and blue and took him to the City Prison. A mob followed hooting and jeering. At the prison Howe was booked for ob- structing “the street and disturbing the peace. Judge Conlan was holding court and when the facts were explained to him released Howe on his own recognizance. “If this sort of thing does not stop,” said the Judge,“'some one will get killed. Justas I was coming to the court there were sev- eral hundred people round a car at Seventh and Market streets, and the conductor and gripman were trying to eject a passenger.” . MISS MARIE MILLARD. This Charming Young Prima Donna Made Her San Francisco Debut at the Tivoll Last Evening. Miss Marie Millard, the charming daugh- ter of Harrison P. Millard, the well-known song writer, made her San Francisco debut at the Tivoli last evening in the comic opera of “Lorraine.’ Miss Millard as Madeline is pretty and sweet-voiced enough to win the love of a king let alone that of Lorraine, the young soldier, who is unaware of his ancestry. In the tender sentiment of this rather martial play, the song love of the couple bloom into flow- ers of sweetest melody. The young prima donna is more than a charming singer; she is an actress, bright, unaffected and thorough in every detail of her role, her stage appearance demon- strating the excellent histrionic training given by her late father. The staging of “Lorraine” also marks the 1eappearance of Miss Louise Royce, an old favorite. John J. Raffael, W. H, West, Ferris Hartman, Martin Pache, Anna Schnabel and Irene Mull are also cast in the roll. The costumes and stage effects are well adapted to the bright music, and doubtless good houses will greet the opera during this week. L e GENEROUS SOUTH-SIDERS. A Large Amount of Money Cleared on the Benefit Given to William Daley. The Southside Club met last night at 514 Fourth street for the purpose of presenting to Mrs. Daley the proceeds of the benefit tendered by the club last Saturday night to her son, William Daley. Treasurer O’Connor reported that $730 had been netted by the entertainment, which was one of the largest of its kind ever held in this City. William Daley, for whom the benefit was given, has been fering from cancer of the throot for several months, and his friendsgave the entertain- ment to assist him in meeting hisexpenses for medical aid. e Sutter-Street Railway Election. &5 The stockholders of the Sutter-street Railway Company, in annual session yesterday, elected the following officers: President, R. F. Mor- row; vice-president, J. L. Schmitt; secretary, A. K. Stevens; treasurer, Maurice Schmitt: superintendent, Johnson Reynolds. Including the president and vice-president the board of directors elected was as follows: W.G. Morrow, J. Naphtaly and E. Durbrow. THE ERRATIC. DUKE AGAIN At 0dds of 20 to 1 Duke Stevens Fooled the Bockies a Sec- ond Time. TWO0 CHOICES WON PURSES. Levena C Beaten Out in an Exciting Finish—Clancy Took the Hurdle Event on Artemus. If the notorious old rogue Duke Stevens were (o line up at lunch time to a tooth- some bran mash or a bundle of sweet alfalfa hay and Jockey Charlie Weber hap- pened along on the scene it is dollars to doughnuts the Duke would lose his appe- tite. But nevertheless he will exert him- self for Weber, something he will not do for any other jockey. On June 4 he sad- dened the camp of the bookmakers by winning a five-furlong scramble in a big romp, backed down from odds of 30to 1. Yesterday he was one of ten starters in the last race of the day at halt a furlong further, with Weber on his back. The bookies laid 20 to 1 against him atone stage of the betting, and at the conclusion of the run they once more had cause for repentance. Thelma was a 7 to 5 favorite, but when the field was started Nell Flaherty carried the webbing away with her, and Snider, on the first choice, fearful of being entan- gled 1in the flying band, pulled his mount up. Weber shouted the old familiar war- cry in the ear of the Duke and off he sailed. Never pressed, he won pulling up by three lengths. Easel, a 12 to 1 chance, who kept him close company to the bend for home, took the place by a neck from Gracie S, a 6 to loutsider. The winner was backed down to 10 to 1 around post time. The programme did not call out the bet- ter class oghorses, and up to the victory of Duke Stevens the talent had been groping along in an uncertain way, barely holding its own. Montgomery and Carnation, both odds on choices, were the only ones that justified the support accorded them. The finish to the record event, a six-fur- long sprint, although resulting in the de- feat of the 8 to 5 favorite, Levena C, wasa very close and exciting contest. After making all of the running, the first choice was joined by San Marco and Clacquer less than a furlong from the wire, and finish- ing next the rail, H. Martin on San Marco got his mount past the line a head in front of the favorite, with Clacquer beaten but a nose for the place. The books had 5 to 1 against the winner. Tortoise got out of the maiden class, in the opening four furlong scramble for two- year olds. The Lone stable’s Vivo was a slight favorite over El Ladrone. Tortoise came through at the end, and won by three-parts of a length, with El Ladrone a length before Billy Vice. Beliringer was an even-money chance for the mile and a sixteenth hurdle event, but had an opportune fit of the sulks and was never in the chase. Artemus, with Clancy up, made all of the running and at the end won easily from Huntsman, with Arundel finishing in the show. The winner was 3 to 1 in the books. The 4 to 5 favorite, Montgomery, led his field throughout in the fourth race, a six furlong spin, passing the judges ridden “THE CALL’S” RACING GUIDE. : To-Day’s Entries at Pacific Coast Jockey Club’s Ingleside Track.

CLOSE OF RACING SEASON. A Great Programme at Ingleside To-Morrow—It Will Not Be “Ladies’ Day.” To-morrow marks the close of the racing season in San Francisco, and the Ingleside management are making preparations to ! see that it is celebrated as the occasion de- serves. Money wi!l not be spared, and the big crowd that aitends will witness some grand sport. Long-distance racing has proved so popular that a handicap over two and a quarter miles for a $500 purse has been arranged, with an addtional $500 added if the winner breaks the world’s record of 3:5617, held jointly by Preakness and Springbok. The followirg horses have entered for the big event: Cabrillo, imp. Fullerton Lass, Senator Bland, Wawona, Little Crip- ple, St. Lee, Flirtilla, Thornhill, Rey del Bandidos, imp. Ivy, Articus and Two Cheers. Another splendid attraction will be a handicap at seven furlongs, bringing to- gether the best three-year-olds on the track, among them: Peru, Yankee Doodle, Belle Boyd, Summer Time and Walter J. For the first time since the popular in- novation was introduced ‘“ladies’ day’’ will be dispensed with. An immense throng is looked for, and there will be lit- tle vacant space to spare for those who pay the usual admission charge. Ingle- side has been very kind to the fair sex, and there is no cause for complainton this score. Atkins and Lottridge will leave for Windsor, Canada, on Saturday with a string of six horses. Among them are Belle Bo{d, Scarborough, El Ladrone and Quantrell, two very shifty maidens that will win their way out. Tortoise pulled up lame after winning the two-vear-old event. Hanford, who was well backed at long odds to win the fifth race, was over- anxious on his road to the post and ran away over two miles with Tommy Butler. Rumors have been floating around that Road Warmer and one or vwo other horses were piloted by jockeys who carried an electric battery. ‘eber, who rode Duke Stevens, was searched for one, but was found ‘“‘not guilty.” Tommy Lottridge has severed his busi- ness connections with Bookmaker George Rose, and it is said the ex-trainer and pen- ciler do not speak as they pass by. The! coldness is said to have sprung up since | the win of Belle Boyd on June 5, wien the stable is said to have taken in the neigh- borhood of $6000 out of the ring. CAME FOR MACHINERY, S. Koenigsberg, a Russian Min- ing Expert, May Buy Mines Here. 8. Koenigsberg, general manager of some very rich gold, copper and platinum mines in the Ural Mountains, is at the Palace Hotel. Mr. Koenigsberg arrived on the steamer Alameda. He has hitherto been in Soutn Africa, Australia and New Zealand, in all of which country his com- vany owns gold and copper mines. Mr. Koenigsherg is one of the most eminent mining engineersin Russia. His company is very rich. He says the mines in the Ural Mountains which the com- pany owns are worth the extraordinary sum of about $2,000,000. The mines employ about 5000 men di- rectly and indirectly, but the methods of mining there are very primitive. “Oneof the objects I have in coming here is 10 study your methods of mining,” he said, ‘‘and the machinery that is used. I expect to buy a very large plant of the finest American machinery when I have found out exactly what I want. “I shall go irom here to Colfax and ex- amine a number of mines there, and then to Nevada City. I have many letters to different mine-owners at those places. *‘Whether we will buy some mines here depends on the mines and the price. I shall report on some of them to my com- vany. The company owns a great many mines in different parts of the world. “We want only gold and copper mines. | ‘We do not care to look at any other kind. “Our mines in the Ural Mountains are on the Siberian side and 4000 miles from St. Petersburg. They are 300 miles from any railroad and it requires six days of travel by rail alone., The mines are in the province of Perm, the richest mining re- gion in Russia. The mines are very rich and very big. “I have been away from home along | time now and have in my investigations traveled nearly around the world. *‘I shall spend several weeks in Cali- fornia, examining mines and making ex- pert reports on such properties as I think are worth considering. Then I. will go to Montana, where 1 will visit the copper and gold mines and then go on to Michi- gan. I will examine the great copper mines of Lake Superior.” B U AN you afford to have your face and hands filled with pimples and blood blotches ?
