SEVENTH WARD | IN A TUMULT, Friends of Frick Organize the Union League Club. AN AGGRESSIVE FIGHT. County Committee to Decide Method of Choosing O!ficers for Primary. MANY SILENT POLITICIANS. Not Anxious to Commit Themselves Till the Congressional Cat Has Jumped. OARLAXD OrricE 8A¥ FRANCISCO Carz,) 908 Broadway, July 30. Not since the SBeventh Ward has been a strong Republican district has there been such a wide split as exists at thistime. The cause of the breach is the failure to agree on a candidate for Congress. The Regular Beventh Ward Club is supposed to ities. Itisthought that her present hal- lucination is due to poor heaith and lack of employment. She has no means and 1o relatives in the world, SCHOOL LAWS. Amendments Being Prepared for the Convention That Meets Monday. OAKLAND, Cav, July 30.—A commit- tee of sixteen city and county Superin- tendents of Schools met in the southwest corner room of the High School building this morning. They came to receive and prepare amendments to the schoolNaws of the State for the consideration of the sec- ond biennial convention of city and county School Superintendents of Califor- nia, which will meet here next Monday. The committeemen in session are: W. Seaman, Deputy State BSuperintend- | ent, chairman; Madison Babcock, City | Superintendent, San Francisco; Ja.nes A. Foshay, City Superintendent, Los An- weles; O. W. Erlewine, City Superintend- ent, Sacramento; J. P. Greeley, County Superintendent, Santa Ana; E. W. Davis, County Superintendent, S8anta Rosa; J. P. Garlick, County Superintendent, Oakland; T. J. Kirk, County Superintendent, Fresno; Robert Furlong, Uounty Super- intendent, San Rafael; B. F. Howard, County Superintendent, Sacramento; O. E. Graves, County Superintendent, Red Bluff: E. F. Floyd, County Superintend- ent, San Andreas; J. B. Brown, County Superintendent, Bureka; W.J. Rodgers, County Superintendent, Nevada City; W. M. Finch, County BSuperintendent, Wil- lows. The others present were: State Super- intendent 8. T. Black, County Buperin- tendent S, V. Riley, Los Angeles; Pro- fessor C. H. Keyes, Pasadena; Principal Albert Lyser, San Francisco; Principal Joseph O’Connor, San Francisco; Princi- pal E. O. Graham, Tehama; Principal | Granville F. Foster, Del Norte County High School; Professor Fernando Sap- ford, Stanford, and Superintendent Mc- Ciymonds of Oakland. }'xor the purpose of reaching definite re- | sults without loss of time the committee be decidedly favorable to Hilborn, and it was thought there would be but little op- vosition, and that not of an organized eharacter. But ‘this calculation has been entirely upset. The Union League Club has just been organized and its growth is rapid. While it has not declared itself openly on the Congressional fight it is well known that it is favorable to Frick. Nearly 100 mem- bers signed the roll, and in a few daysit will have twice that membership. Many men who were the strongest supporters of Hilborn are in the Leckie, ex-Aseessor, Nushaumer, George Chase and William McGrath are Union League men and each one is an accomplished srganizer. President Dow of the Seventh Ward Regular Club has called a meeting fornext week, and both Congressional candidates bave been invited to be present. The four men who have as much influ- ence in the Seventh Wara as anvbody are County Clerk Jordan, ex-Mayor Pardee, Councilman Dow and Assemblyman Dodge. Their positions on the predom- inuting question of the hour it would be bard to define. Dr. Pardee is certainly for Hilborn; Dodge and Dow have not said anything, and Frank Jordan is credited with being in the Frick camp, though he will not sey so. Robert Leckie's position is potin doubt. He worked like a hero for Hilborn at the last election, and now he feels that Hilborn’s friends have gone back on him and he has jumped the traces. Friends of Frick bave already held meetings at the houses of E. Nusbau- mer, R. Leckie and Charles Wilkins, but so far little has been heard of Hilborn's campaign. The situation in Alameda is notany less interesting. Hilborn’s speech at St. Louis favoring the anti-Denison delegates to the National Convention was very much against the position taken by E. K. Tay- lor, who controls the Republican machin- ery of the Encinal City, and it is expected that Frick will have an equal chance with. the delegates, The County Committee has not vet named the officers for the primaries and neither is it decided how they shall be elected. Chairman Mautalen has called a meeting for next Saturday at which the matter will be settled. The State Central Committee advised that the County Com- mittee call the primary for August 16 and that the warring Congressional Com. mittees shall each name half of the elec- tion officers. Will Church, a County Com- mitteeman and the leader of “the four” Supervisors, says that the State Comumit- tee merely made a recommendation re- garding the appointment of officers, and is in favor of rejecting it and appointing whom they please, irrespective of either Congressional Committee. Such a high- banded proceeding 1s roundly condemned by the friends of Frick. They say that such 8 course would hurt him and that he is too young a politician to advise or countenance any such measure. Every ward and township is interested in the contest and all kinds of guesses are being made as to the result of the Con- gressional Convention, which will be held at Vallejo on August 17. A long letter has been sent to Mr. Hil- born by some prominent Republicans, Tne concluding paragraph, which is a summary of the whole, is as follows: We, as Republicans, to the end that there can be no question &s to where you stand, ask you, will you if elected stand for and vote for ihe financial policy adopted at St. Louls, which is the policy to which our candiaate for Presi. dent and our party is committed? Or do you proposq, if elected, to ignore our financial pol- jey as outlined by our National Convention and vote for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, party or no party? If you cannot give loyal support to the prin- ciples enunciated in the Republican platform, have you any right to seek a nomination at the hands of that party? Is it not your mani- fest duty to withdraw and allow the Republi- cans 10 nominate some one who can and will stand and if need be fall by the principles, who ecan and will make his success depend upon the success of those doctrines which McKinley represents, and who will not be compelled to seek his per- sonal advancement by the surrender of the cause of Republicanism as announced in our National platform? No excuse need be offered for asking you for ananswer to these questions. They are: political questions of the utmost importance to every Republican voter within your district. They, in common with our- new club. Robert | C. W.

WILL NOT HAVE KENNEY. South Berkeleyans Declare They Won't Recognize Him as Fire Chief. The Peralta Fire Company Will Dis. band Rather Than Enlist Under His Banner, BERKELEY, Cain, July 80.—South Berkeleyane have decided in mass-meet- ing that they will stand by the action of the Peralta Fire Company in refusing to acknowledge James Kenney as Chief of the Fire Department. Members of Peralta Fire Company reit- erate their determination to disband their company rather than recognize Kenney, A number of prominent South Berkeley- ans made speeches pointedly denouncing Kenney as unfit for the vosition, and the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the citizens of South Berkeley in mass-meeting assembled are unalterably op- osed to the appointment of Mr. Kenney as the re chief; that they will never recognize him as such and the secretary is requested to notify the Board of Trustees of the Action of this meeting.

Iron-Cased Officialdom Has No Conscience but Public Opinion. REVIEWS JUDGE ARD JURY. A Letter From the President of the Woman’s International Maybrick Association. OAxLAND OrFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, July 20, A few weeks ago an article was pub- lished in the Oakland correspondence of rules do not permit of collections or petitions officially made, and I was therefore compelled reluctantly to abandon the idea. Quoting the opinion of an Englishman liv- ing in San Fraucisco, you state that “Mrs. Maybrick had one of the nirest trials and per haps the ablest criminal pleader in the world, Sir Charles Russell, to defend her.” Lord Rus- sell came 10 this trial from the long strain of the Pigott-Times trial, and was r nflt to take tge case, besides being badiy instructed by the barrister for thedefense. So that really rs. Maybrick did not have an able defense, although Lord Russell has since done all in his power to nid and benefit her. As regards the alieged fairness of the trial, it may be well to hear thc opimion of another Englishman, Mr. Stead, editor of the Review of Reviews, who writes: “This American woman was sentenced to be hanged by e Judge on the verge of dotege, after the counsel for the prosecution had remarked it was impos- sible 10 find a verdict of guilty in the face of the medical evidence. “She was declared by the jury to have been clearly proved guilty of willfully potsoning & { man, whom the Home Secretary, sitting as court of appeal, found Was possibly not mar- dered at sli; and she is OW serving a sentence which was not Frnnounced by the Judge, for an offense which was neither alieged against her in the indictment nor submitted to the jury at the trial. No Englishman can feel otherwise than ashamed of having to defend the manner in which she has been dealt with by our courts and our Government, We shall notbe able to escape & zibbeting that is litile short of & national humiliation. A sorrier ex- hibition of all that is worst in the blundering, wrong-headed, illogical side of John Bull has seldom or never given cccasion for his enemies to exult and bis friends to wince.” Ttisto be hoped that Congress, which has taken this matcer up for investigation, will find some way of inducing the English Govern- ment, a5 an act of internationsl courtesy, to Telease this long-suffering &nd unjustly ‘ac cused aud imprisoned worman, who hasalready endured seven years of tie horrors of pensl servitude for a crime that she never com- mitted.

OaxLAND OFFICE SAN FrAXNCISCO Cu.n,} 908 Broadway, July 29. Frank J. Moffitl, Dr. Woolsey, G. W. Baker and R. M. McKillican returned to- day from the St. Louis silver convention. Ex-Senator Moffitt is ready for cam- paign work and now sees much to ad- mure in Populism. The ardent Democrat said to-night: “The Populist convention was not a beer garden filled wiin would-be orators and howling cranks, but as dignified and deliberate a body as I ever saw. Most of its members were ex-Governors, ex-Con- gressmen, Upited States Benators and members of the present Congress. The specches were eloquent and the men were all sincere. They were not long-bearded, as the caricaturist makes out, but Popu- lists who were dressed just as neatly as any other delegate of any other conven- tion. “Jerry Simpson is not ‘sockiess,’ but is a bright, genial yentleman who was edu- catea in a college ana has a degree. He is companionable and was particularly agreeable to the Californians. “Cyclone Davis, of whom so mueh is said, is a tall, well-educated gentleman and an able talker. I donot know any- body in this town who can talk as sensi- bly or as well as he upon political events. “Congressman Lafe Pence is anothex leading Populist whom we met. He now lives in New York and is an attorney-at- law, but formerly represented Colorado. He is a neat-appearing and "ris:t-lwkm young gentleman, not over age, and as entertaining and companion- able a man as we ever met, and he spent a great deal of his time with the delegates from California and made many friends. “I have changed my mind a good deal on the Populists—so would anybody if they saw their National Conven: o They are not long-bearded, Joud-mouthea cranks, as many make them out 1, but are good, living, sensible, well-dressed, in- tellizent, earnest, honest men.
