Purprising those who have had to do with registration in former years. “Iam surprised,” said Mr. Jordan to- day, “at the way people are registering this year. Men who have never been registered, this year are anxious that their names be enroll Again, too, it is astonishing how many young men just coming of age are registering for their first vote. I attribute the large registra- tion to the fact that those whom I have appointed throughout the county as depu- ties have taken the greatest and most active interest in seeing that all their neighbors are Imz on the register. As a matter of fact I have a feeling of pride in the matter and am anxious in the closing days of registration between now and the 9th day of August to get every man in the county who is entitled to vote on the register in time. “*One thing that I am sorry tolsay is that there ar¢ many poor men in the county who are under the impression that if they register that they will have to pay a polltax. I have endeavoredall along to get that out of the minds of the voters that the County Clerk collects or has any- thing totdo with the collecting of poll- taxes. Every man in the county should register, and no man will ever be troubled { about his polltax, as far as I am_con- cerned. Allthey have to do is to find out where the nesrest deputy lives or come to this office any time between 9 A. M.and 9 ®.

The reason for this is described by the marriage-license clerk as being the objec- tions raised by the hasty couples to the publication of events they prefer should be kept secret. Several couples have re- cently hurried from the County Clerk’s office to the electric-cars, and have been whirled out to Haywards, where they have been accommodated. S=The clergyman who is being continually pressed into service is Rev. R. B. Wenk, pastor of the Presbyterian chureh of Hay- wards. His fame has already traveled across the bay and whenever a suspicious- | jooking young coupie alight from - the cars and ask for Mr. Wenk they at once became objacts of supreme interest. Rev. R. E. Wenk is very inquisitive and | absolutely refuses to unite anybody who does not impress him that they are of the required age. He sent one couple away because the little miss appeared to him to | be about jour years vounger than the age set forth on her marriage license. Yesterday was a busy day. In the morn- | ing Herbert 8. Bradley, a young man from | Ban Francisco, called on the pastor. He was accompanied by Miss Nevada Bran- | nen when he entered the study and about | ten minutes later Mr. and Mrs. Bradley | emerged therefrom and took their honey- | moon on the electric car.

Oax1AND OFFICE Sax FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, July 24. “Do you know Harry inwall?” This question was asked all the talesman this morping while the District Attorney was getting a jury in the gold-brick case. Everybody wondered what connection existed between Harry Inwall and the gold-brick swindlers. It was not till E. M. Lipka was under examination that curiosity was gratified. “Do you know Harry Inwall?” asked Mr. Soook. [ do,” said Lipka. “Have you had any conversation with him in regard to this case?” Mr. Lipka hesitated a moment, every- body leaned forward and Judge Greene straightened up in his chair. “Yes, sir; I have,” said Lipka. *Harry Inwall came into my store this morning and spoke of this case. 1 told him not to say-anything more about it, for 1 was on the regular panel and might have 10 serve on the case. He replied, ‘Oh, well, there is not much down there—only $2a day. . If you zre called I'll see you again.’ I said, ‘All right; I'll see you later.”"’ Here Judze Greene asked: “Do you not think that you did wrong in replying in that way ?” Lipka thought he did, but the Pistrict Attorney let the Judge into the facts by asking Mr. Lipka if it was not a fact that he had notified the proper authorities at once, and received a reply in the affirma- tive. Judge Greene them said: *‘Well, that puts another aspect upon the case.” Mr. Lipka was seen to-night at his store on Broadway and said: “I nave not told all by any means, I do not want to do Mr. Inwall any barm if I can help it. He should have known opetter than to ap- proach me as he did. 1 told him that he would get into trouble, but he insisted-and kept right on. Inwall was watched and + I reported promptly to the District Attor- ney's office, for I have since learned that he was seen to enter here.” He nor no other man can bribe me in this or any other case. He said that Gordan did not have any money, but his friends intended to see him through and that 1 might get alittle of .itas well asany one else.”” Attorney Emil -Nusbanmer, who has charge of the defence, was very indignant to-night. “I sappose Inwsil was prepar- ing to fix one juror and then come tous and get a good stake,” he said. “This is not the first time Inwall’s name has been connected with juries and if guilty he de- serves severe punishment.” Andrew Root, whom the police arrested and held as a partner-of Gordan’s, injthe robbing of Banker Little of Dixon of $7500, was to be present at the opening of Gordan’s trial to-day, but he failed to put in his appearance. No one appeared to know where Root was, so his absence caused some apprehension to the attor- nevs and bondsmen. . He 1= out on §5000 bonds, his sureties be- ing H. C. Babcock of Temescal and Mrs. | Annie Bebon of Berkeley. At his former | trial he only escaped conviction by the votes of M. J. Acton of Berkeley and John Gelder of Lorin. There was a suspicion in the officer’s mind that an attempt was to be made to tamper with the jury, hence a close watch was set upon Harry Inwall, who was sus- pected, and his every move has been watched by the police. Root’s attorneys said to-night that the defendant’s case is set for next Tuesday and that he will be on hand at that time. — e THEY WANT PROTECTION Berkeley Merchants Awaiting a Decision as to the Licensing of Outsiders. Wilkie-Rhorer Opsra Company Plays to a Crowded House—Brief News Notes. BERKELEY, CaL, July 24.—The ques- tion of licensing outside merchants who desire to do business in Berkeley hasagain come up for discussion in commercial circlés. The local Merchants’ Protective Association is-awsiting from the East re. poris regarding a Supreme Court decision which will vitally affect the question of licensing merchants and peddlers doing business elsewhere, but who desire two establish themselves here. According to reports received by the association the ruling in question makes the license laws -of Oakland and Alameda unconstitational, sociation is desirous of protecting ts from the com‘relilion of strang- ers, and it it proposed to petition the Town Board to pass a law imposing a license which would be practically pro- hibitory upon the solicitors’ wagons sent out by many Oakiand firms, of which about twenty now visit Berkeley regu- larly. It is asserted, however, that a recent Supreme Court decision in such a case declared that a license law framed on such principles is invalid. President Gilihan of the Protective Association is awaiting further reports regarding the mlinF from the eomsrndent in the East. 1f it should be found that the law stands as revorted the high license asitation would doubtless be dropped and the asso- ciation, which will hold fu next meeting on Monday nignt, will give consideration wl?l:he;im“"“' believed The discovery to have made by the Berkeley association w::‘!: not affect Berkeley's license ordinance, but would have direct application to the laws now in force in Oakiand ana Ala- meds, both of which townsimpose a hea: tax upon wagons from other communi- ties sent thither 10 solicit orders and de- liver g > 3 Children Cannot Ride Free, BERKELEY, CaL, July 24—The at- tempt made by the school suthorities a short time ago to secure free tran: tion over the Southern Pacific .1 for_the members of the eighth gradeof the Kel- ogg School to the Lorin School, in order that the crowded condition of the former might be in a measure mitigated, having met with failure, an effort was made to se- cure free passage over the line of the Oak- land Consolidated Street Railway line, but this effort hasalso come to naught, and so now the principal has to resign himseif to the original tondition of super- vising overcrowded schools, unless some .other arrangements can be made for the accommodation of the overflow. ‘Wilkie-Rhorer Opera.

It began as soon as the San Francisco news- papers arrived, which is about 4 o’cleck A. M., and it was still in session when the electric lights went out at midnight. The orators are as numerous as the dif- ferent kinds of Populism tbat are im- plicitly believed in on this side of the bay. There is a populism a la A. A. Bretz, an- other a la Thomas Roberts, others of J. B. Randolpk, Judge Gibson, Major Waters, Auctioneer Rosenberg, Adna A. Dennison and many minor forms of doctrine as numerous as the individual parts of the large audience. In fact every one advo- cated a doctrine of his own, and fre- quently a dozen of them at one time. Re- form meant one thing to one msn and ninety-nine other things to the rest of the hundred people who composed one sec- tion of the crowd. Mayor Davie, Srerift White, County Superintendent of Schools Garlick and County Treasurer Sanford have no partic- lar kind of Populistic doctrine to discuss. They ail have fat offices and sirce they received their first salary warrant they alone know how they stand—the Populist rank and file have not been enlightened as to how a Populist feels in office. Thomas Roberts, the energetic little leaderof the last strike, is somewhat fearfual of the effects of office-holding on the average Populist. He seems to thmnk that big salaries and little to do are detrimental to disciples of the truth, but he declined to go into details. Mr. Roberts was one of the first speakers. *I nave been taught to believe and do believe,” said Tommy, “'that Popu- lism is a dootrine of principles. Our greatest principle is the free coinage of silver, and if we indorse Bryan we shall certainly get it. What do you think an Osakland Populist said to me this morn- ing?

When the Alameda dele- gation went to Sacramento they were all huddled together in close quarters and the Judge objected. He hustled around and found a comfortable bed in a hotel all by himself. The other fellows said he was too aristocratic for a Populist, and al- though the most influential man in the county, they sent somebody else. “Then there is old man Rosenberg. He has done the cause of reform a lot of harm. He has got up on the City Hall steps night after night and during the day, too, when he could get a crowd, and bas called everybody asses who didn’t think as he thinks, and he never thinks at all. Heis talking all the time and doesn’t get time to think.”’ At this point in his discourse Adna A. Dennison stepped forward. Adna is a silver man first, a Bryan man next, a can- didate for Supervisor next, a candidate for anything else next, and then a Populist. Before he had tfairly commenced Major ‘Waters appeared, and as he is over 7 feet tall his appearance is very apparent. ‘Now look here,” said the major, whose ebony features reflected the noon- day sun. “You folks is alius talkin’ ’hout the Democrats and "Publicans.

OAKLAND, Cir, July 24.—City As- sessor Snow has made the assessments of the railroad franchises under a special division under the general heading of real property.
