He Claims a Majority of Dele- gates in the Third District. GARRITY BADLY TREATED. His Friend, the Labor Commissioner, Said to Have Forgotten a Little Promise. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCIScO CALL, 908 Broadway, August 21. } Some very curious and highly interest- ing Democratic history is being brought to the surface'in the fight between M. F. Tarpey and Warren B. English for the Congressional nomination from the Third District. This city being the logical center of the district, the various elements in tise contest are naturally more in evidence here than elsewhere. Tarpey, as is well known, was a candi- date as delegate to the Democratic Na- tional Convention, and was also very friendly with Robert Fitzgerald, who is the recognized leader of the Daggett wing in this county. As Mr. Daggett was not anxious for Tarpey to go to Chicago, Dag- gett’s friend, Fitzgerald, could not work for him, and, as a result, Tarpey felt that he had been thrown down and that his Alameda friends had acted the part of semi-traitors. As a result, Tarpey was beaten, and received but a few votes. A neat little scheme, it is said, has now been outlined to salve the feeiings of Mr. Tarpey. The plan is, as has been known' for sev- eral days, to put up Tarpey for the sole purpose of beating Warren English, and Tarpey being the most available man, is being used by Daggett for that purpose. When the matter was first broacned to Tarpey he declined to be the candidate of any faction and refused to enter the con- test except Warren English would support him and he could also get the Populist in- dorsement. As Daggett controls the State Central Committee he was in a position to instruct Mr. Alford to place Tarpey, as chairman, on the committee which has charge of the task of looking toward the fusion of the Populists and Democrats. Tarpey was then in a position where he | could dictate and make {erms. At yesterday’s conference the Populists demanded that they be given four of the Presidential electors. Tarpey made a speech, saying that he was in favor of giving them everything they wanted. He stated thav the Populists had been advo- cates of silver longer than the Democrats, | and that as silver is the predominating question at the coming election it would do no harm to give the Populists all they ask for: The plan was then proposed thai the Populistsindorse Tarpey for the Third District in return for the Democratic in- dorsement of the Populist candidate in the First. Tarpey believes that he can now get the Populist nomination. Warren English, who has recently gone all over the dis- trict, declares that he has more than a majority of all the Democratic delegates. Green Majors and Judge Gibson are both anxious for the Populist indorsement and are not particularly anxious that the Dem- ocratic State Central Comumittes should have anything to say in the matter, and it is regarded as certain that the fusion ‘proposition will fail and that both Poou- lists and Democrats will nominate in the Third District. Warren English and Tarpey had a con- ference to-day and it is hinted as among the possibilities that Tarpey will with- draw and that Warren English will not make any strong overtures to the Popu: lists, but will run on a straight Democratic ticket, in which he will have the support of most of the local silver party. This afternoon another development came to life, and it is not altogether un- likely that Tom Garrity may apper in the 04 r ¥inale, “A Sweel field against English. In the last fight Garrity worked for the Daggett wing, an while doing so was told by Labor Com- missioner Ed Fitzgerald that he (Fitz- gerald) would support Garrity if he ran for Congress, Yesterday Garrity, it 1s re- ported, received a letter from his friend Tom McMahon of the Contra Costa Demo- cratic Committee, in which McMahon states that Fitzgerald had asked his sup- port on behalf of Tarpey. Garrity re- proached Fitzgerald and the Labor Com- missioner at once replied that he was still for Garrity, whereupon Garrity produced McMahon’s letter and what followed is not reported. In view of these developments it is con- sidered improbable that the Populists will change the date and place of their con- vention to suit the Democrats. The Popu- list Convention was originally set to be held at Benicia on the 25th of August, and it was proposed, while fusion was thought to be possible, to transfer it to Vallejo and postpone the date till September 4, at which place and time the Democratic Con- vention will be held. Itis now more than likely that this deal will be declared off— in fact, that it'has already been declared off, and that the Populists will hold their convention at the placeand time origin- ally proposed and will make their own nominations, leaving English, Tarpey and Garrity to snarl according to their tastes for the Democratic bone. As it is impogsible for either the Demo- cratic or Populist candidate to be elected in this district, and as the Republican ele- ments are fast harmonizing, it is certain that Hilborn’s mujority will be very large.

OTHER PAPERS MUST EXPLAIN. Their Practice of Issuing Small Local Editions Is Unanimously Condemned. OARLAND OFFicE SAN FrANcrsco CALy, 908 Broadway, Aug. 21. Albert Kayser, proprietor of the Oak- i land Journal, and a director of the Board of Trade, caused a great surprise at to- day’s meeting of that body. He stated that the San Francisco daily papers, with the exception of THE CALL, ignored this county’s interest by only publishing the news of Alameda County in the local edition, and not even in the San Francisco edition. A. H. Breed, a real-estate dealer and a member of the Republican County Cen- tral Committee, said: “‘This is a matter of vast importance to Oakland, that should receive the attention of this board. We have this exposition here to advertise and recommend Oakland to the world as a city of enterprise and suitable place to invest capital. The papers of San Francisco, excepting THE CALL, report the event in their Oakland editions, and then omit it altogether in their general edition, which reaches the people we are trying to reach. “I understand that THE CALL is the only paper that does not countenance this kind of work and I am in favor of passing a mo- tion requesting all of our members and the public generally to discontinue their subscriptions to the Examiner and Chron- icle until such a time as the management of these papers feel that Oakiand and Ala- meda County news is of enough im- portance to publish in their general edition. If one of you were out in the State and looked into the Examiner or Chronicle you would never know that we were hav- ing an exposition here. I claim that itis an outrage to treat us in such a manner.” Secretary Cragie Sharp said: “I know that this statement is true and am in favor of giving the papers due notice and then passing such a resolution if they fail to do the proper thing. Our people away from home want to know the news when they purchase a paper.” A. Kayser of the Oakland Journal ex- pressed surprise that such a charge was possible. He said: *‘I never heard of such a thing being done anywhere else. Iun- derstand that the Examiner has four dif- ferent editions for four different sections of the country.” A. D. Pryal favored the suggestions Republican (ommitteeman A. H. Breed, Who Believes Alameda County is Worthy the Prcminence Given It by “The Call.” Mrs. Grace E. Dodge, the East Oakland Mezzo-Contralto, Who Appeared at the Exposition Last Night. land, it ought to be known by the people at large, “Very likely itis trne, or Mr. Kayser, himself a newspaper man, would not have brought it up at the Board of Trade meet- ing to-day. I remember noticing such an omission when away on acamping trip some years ago. In looking for Oakland news in the Examiner I could net find it. “Mr. Kayser and others of the board be- lieve that the Chronicle also omits the Oakland news from its general edition. There is no charge that THE CALL ireats us in this way. “The omission of the Oakland news from the regular edition by any of the San Francisco papers seems to me a business blunder, to say the least. It is bound to be found out and, of course, the paper will be judged accordingly. “The Oakland people frequently furnish news to the San Francisco dailies with the expectation of getting the benefit of the general circulation; not only that, but advertising is given for the Oakland pages of those publications with the same view. “Certainly Ouakland is important enough to be recognized in such a way. It is, so far as news is concerned, a part of San Francisco, and the news from all parts round , the bay should travel together hand in hand. The idea that a great daily published in one of the great cities of the country, read all over the United States and in other countries, should be devoid of any news pertaining to its legit- imate territory seems unreasonable. *It is hardly just to 100,000 people that such an omission should be practiced.” THEY SHG O W DEEPER Y, Reunion of St. John's Epis- copal Boys' Vested Choir.

OAKLAND, CaL., Aug. 21.—The funeral of the late Mrs. Margaret P. McCourtney was held this morning at the Church of the Sacred Heart, Temescal. A soiemn re- quiem high mass was celebrated at 9:30 by Father Serda, assisted by Father Scanlan and Father Cranwell. The mass selected was “‘Schmidt's Reqniem,”” and was ren- dered by a quartet consisting of Mrs. S. R. O'Keefe, Miss Tillie Valerga, Frank Va- lerga and C. G. Hallmeyer. The pall- bearers were J. J. Cadogan, J. J. White, Thomas Moran, Martin Dunn, C. Purcel, A. D. Pryal, P. hxl;nn, C. F. Weber, J. J. O'Rourke and J. P. Hayes, = made, asdid C. A. Booth of the Oakland Iron Works. The latter stated that he never heard that the iwo papers were doing such work. M. J. Keller moved that the two papers in question be corresponded with and their answers presented to the opening meeting of the board to be held in the near future. 1f the facts were as stated he said the secretary should have a reso- Iution prepared calling upon all members and their friends to discontinue their sub- scriptions to the Examiner and Chronicle. Next Monday All Members and Ex- Members Will Be Tendered a Banquet. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcIsco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Aug. 2L. § The tenth anniversary of what is said to be the oldest continuous vested choir in the State will be held at St. John’s Episco- pal Church next Monday evening. Ten years ago Miss Elizabetn M. Sher- ‘man in the face of great opposition organ- ized a vested boy choir. As boys do not remain in that stage of life fora decade after they are old enough to sing in a church choir the reunion will bé a very interesting gathering. Every little opposition had to be met ten years ago, and worshipers who are now accustomed to hear the exquisite singing of the boys wonder how ever any objection could have been raised. Miss Sherman has worked very persistently, and it has been a labor of love throughout as she has worked as trainer and teacher all the time without any salary whatever. She has visited the public schools and has kept the choir up to a high standard, and her success has been the means of en- couraging many others, and now vested choirs are to be found everywhere. Owing to the need of procuring new ma- terial every few years vested boy choirs that had been started in other places were abandoned, but St. Jodn’s has never been without an able choir since the innova- tion was first made. The members of theoriginal choir were: Roland Oliver, Arthur Agard, Jack Nichol- son, John Petty, N. H. Burz Mr. Finch, Arthur Petty, Ellsworth lden Akerly, George Harris, Mason Bowen, George Parry Akeriy, Joseph Petty, Arthur Kniver, James Ely ana Mr. Foster. In the current number of the church magazine Rev. F. J. Mynard says regard- ing the reunion: This date is worthy of special note for many reasons. St. John’s choir was almost the pio- The motion was unanimously carried. After the meeting Mr. Keller said: 1f it is really true that some of the daily papers of San Francisco omit all the Oakland news from their general edition outside of that which is circulated in Oak- Children Cry for neer choir of its kind on (his coast, and proba- bly is the only one which, be: a success from the start, can claim ten years of uninterrupted work. It certainly is the only one which has had no change in leadership for ten years. Miss Elizabeth M. Sherman, who organized our first croir, is still « rectress, and has fully shown that in thiscapacity she has no superior Pitcher’s Castoria.. on the Pacific Coast. In this connection one * feels liKe l\!emrtlng some description of the unflagging zeal, the persistent purpose, the almost unlimited energy and the rare devotion which has held this cne person to such work and labor these ten years past; but no one could do justice to the'arduousservice exacted by the position and its duties through all these ‘years save the one who hes performed them, The plans for the day provide for a service in the church at 8 o’clock . x. The present choir will sing, and ail ex-members of the choir in good standing are invited to occupy seats reserved for them near the chancel. o hope to have an_address by the Bishop at this service. After the service, members and ex- members will aljourn tothe ‘‘banquet hall,” where, after refreshments are served, short ad- dresses will be delivered. We hope to have the church filled to its utmost cng:cny with enthusiastic parishioners who will be prepared to make & special oflefln‘f. in recognition of the event, to the choir fund.
