ALAMEDA COUNTY WAR. Women Spend Four Hours in| Efforts to Defeat the Move. ALL THE PROXIES REFUSED, A State Slate Put Through Without Opposition When Defeat Is Realized. OAKLAND OrrIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, Sept. 1. The generalship and tactics displayed at the annual meeting of the Alameda County Politicat Equality Society this| afternoon would have done credit to the | oldest and most experienced wire-pulling politician. The officers and delegates spent four solid hours scheming and talk- ing for the purpose of getting control of the county organization. The local society was organized ia July, 1895, with Mrs. Alice Stocker of Sunol as president, and a full quota of subordinate officers, all intent on helping in the effort | to secure the ballot for womer. Matters went along nicely, but when the Eastern | contingent of National officers, lecturers and organizers came to the coast they brought with them the methods of work used in their home States and proceeded to abolish all local plans and substitute their own. ‘When they came to Alameda County there was a conflict of authority and it all ended by the county society refusing to bave anything whatever to do with the convention held in the Exposition bauild- ing in this city. Further, they refused theresaster ic acknowledze any authority | of the Statz and National organizations, | but weni so far as to name an executive | committee, which they said was to be the court of last appeal in county matters. There were those, howeyer, who felt it was not exactly ri those who nad spent a iif . This gave rise to two factions, which were termed the “‘State’ and “county’ parties, designating those who stooa by the old- line workers and those who believed that there should be no interference in local work, respectively. As the time for the annual meeting drew what should be done regarding the selec- tion of officers. The ‘‘county” party was entirely satisfied with Mrs. Stocker's ad- officers re-elected. The opposition had grown strong in this City, however, where th e were many clubs, and they could t be counted upon as supfor:ers of Mrs, ocker, although it is claimed by her iends that they never hinted they wogld defeat her. The “‘county” party went to work with a will, and have organized or strength- ened the following clubs until they were | entitled to fifteen delegates at to-day’s gathering: Niles, Sunol, Pleasanton, Liv- ermore and Centerville. Not to be outdone, the -‘State” party brought into the convention clubs from the Third and Seventh wards, with five aelegates each. Mrs. Stocker called the meeting to order at 2 o’clock 10-day and namedas a committee Mrs. S. Boriand, Mrs. L. Juddand M T. J. Walker. The first skirmish occurred on the ac- ceptance of this report of the credentials committee. It favored allowing to all proxies presented a vote, but it was op- posed by the “State” party. o The reason of the opposition can be seen | when it is said that of the fifteen delegates irom the interior of the county only one s present in person, all the others hav- g sent proxies to Mrs. Stocker's per nal friends and backers. -After much- ngling and discussion they were re- d recognition by a vote of 16 to 21. More time was lost in trying to get this vote overthrown, but ali to no avail. An informal baliot was next proposed by the “county’” people, and it showed that the delegation stood 14 to 26 for the two parties. Every ruse known to profes- sional politicians was exerted to seve the *‘county’’ elate irom defeat, but to no avail, as the first baliot showed that the *'State’’ ticket had captured the works by a vote of 29 to 20. The full ticket as elected is as follows: President, Mrs. Lloyd Baldwin; first vice- president, Mrs. Maurice Woodhams; second vice-president, Mrs. Emma Shafier Howard, Oskland; third vice-president, Mrs. L. N. Chap® man, Alameds; fourth vice-president, Mrs, Henry Vrooman, Oakiand; fifth vice-president, Mrs. A. A. Moore, Esst Oakland; recording sec- retary, Maurice Woodhams; corresponding sec- retary, Miss Mary E. Keene; treasurer, Mrs. E. G.Juad; suditors, Mrs. Judge Waymire snd Mrs. Archibald Borland. The rediring officers and the ones which comprised the *“‘county’’ ticket were: President, Mrs. Alice Stocker; first vice- w b ident, Mrs. Emms Shafter Howard; | o g Kiend, | icecream were served and s ‘substantial vice-president, Dr. Kellogg-Lane, Oakiand third vice-president, Mrs. Mary Haight, Berk ley; fourth vice-president, Coionel P.

Judd; suditors, Mrs. John Heath and Mrs. Lioyd Baldwin. The selection of the county delegation to the next State convention was lefc to the new executive commitiee. Miss Susan B. Anthony, president of the National Poiitical Equality Society; Mrs. A. A. Sargent, president of the State society, and Mrs. 1da A. Harper, superin- tendent of the State press work, were | present, and the first two were presented to the delegates assembled and invited to seats on the platform with tte president.

F. Lamborn, do not agree. The doctor | belongs to the old school of punetilious | politeness—an ounce of respect for a City | Trustee and a pound for an army or navy officer. The City Clerk, being a Native | | Bon of the Golden West, holds all men are | equal in the sight of God and himself, and | addresses them accordingly. This marked difference in the phraseo- ) logy employed in couching letters ad- } dressed to the president and his sub- ordinates was brought out at a private | sitting of the Board of Trustees after its | regular meeting last night. The meeting was for the specitic purpose of trying to find out on what premises Colonel Suter | bad arrived at the conclusion that the/ completion of the tidal canal was un- | necessary and its conception based on wrong information. | During the present controversy the zeal- | ous City €lerk Lad written twenty-six let- ters to Federal officers, including the President, and had only received one an- | swer, viz., from the President. He feit as- | tonished at this want of courtesy, and the | doctor took it upon himself last night to point out that his youthful contrere’s un- warranted interference in writing these | gentlemen and addressing them as if they | were private citizens of Alameda instead | of asarmy and pavy officers had done the | cause more narm tnan good. The City | Clerk was out of the room at the time the Trustees satstill and meditated. so the City Attorney. Tade’s assistance and pointed out thatin writing the letters the City Clerk had only | carried out_the instructions of the City Trustees. Besides, he had at the cost of 2 cents postage obtained more informa- i than the doctor had with nine months’ sojourn in Washington at a cost of $250 to the city alone. The doctor para- phrased Kipling’s expression of that be- ing another story and the committee got down to work. Being unable to ascertain the date on | which Colonel Suter based his opinion it | | was decided that the doctor shoula ascer- | | tain from D. §. Lamont, Secretary of War, | | if possible the explicit reasons the colonel | has given why the work should not be| completed. Until the replies come and | are answered it is also requested that ell | work on the Qnrbor project be suspended. | Board of Education. ALAMEDA, Car., Sept. 1. — At the Board of Education’s meeting this even- | | ing a letter was received from the Deputy | Superintendent of Public Instruction at | Sacramento laying down the iaw in ac- | cordance with section 1662 of the Political | Code that Mongolians, Chinese and Ind:- | ans can be denied admittance into the | public schools when separate schools are | provided for their instruction, bat that apanese are not Mongolians and cannot | be denied admittance to our publicschoole. | | Various amendments of existing school | rules were made, the chief ones being that | 1n future teachers will be appointed in the | latter nalf of June; that time reports shali be sent in to the superintendent for each | teacher, and that principals shall exem- | plify the work of each grade before the | pupils and their teachers. Delanoy’s Poles. | | ALAMEDA, CaL., Sept. 1.—Judge Ogden 1 | Not | He flew to his com- | has decided to allow Delanoy to reopen the suit against the City Trustees restrain- ing them from taking up his poles.

Partridge, on Haste | street, comes as a great shock to the many friends of the veteran physician and legis- | lator. Dr. Martin had served in both of | the State executive bodies for the greater part of the last twenty-five vears, and at 1 the last session of the Senate, though nearly 76 years of age, he made one of the | strongest fignts for the rights of his con- stituents during his entire public career, | He came to_California in 1852, landing | at San Diego on July 4 of that year.

For the last twenty-five years he prac- ‘ dced at Dutch Fiat, and was known throughout the northern part of Cali- fornia. His practice extended over a dis- | trict in radius about twenty miles, and he 1 kept up his active work until about a year | ago, when he was stricken with heart failure, from which malady he finaliy expired. Dr. Martin was 8 warm friend of Senato: George C. Perkins, and when the latte: ran for the United States Senate for the | first time, Dr. Martin, though a Democrat | for over balfa century, turned from the | paths of Democracy and supportea Sen- ator Perkins, believing that he was the only candidate suited for the position at that time. Dr. Martin was visiting his daughters, | Mrs. Sam C. Partridge and Mrs. John A, McLure, in Berkeley when his death oc- curred. He came down from Dutch Flat, Placer County, aboul a week ago to cele- brate his birthdsy in Berkeley, as had been his custom for several years past. He was 76 last Friday.

Ains- worth has approved the claims of Jobn Green Colomel Burton-Brown, the Discoverer and Descendant of Marlborough’s Leading General. [Sketched from life by a “Call” artist.] The colonel was for some years sta-| tioned in Burmah, and at the time King | Thebaw was preparing for an onslaught | of the British from his strongholds in | Mandelay he made a trip up the Irawaddy to Mandelay and examined the forts on | the river and defenses ot the city. It was| an extremely dangerous trip, and had he been caught he would undoubtedly bave been tortured to death. | Difficult as the trip was he made it suc- | cessfully, and collected a vast amount of | information of much value to the Britisb forces. | Colonel Burton-Brown has made many | useful inventions in gunnery, to which he ! has given much attention. His maternal \ ancestor was Sir John Burton, one of Marlborouzh’s best-known generals. For | some time 1n recent years he was in com- | mand of the Royal Artiliery in the Straits | settlements in order to compiete (her&{ armament of Singapore. | The colonel was elected to the Royal | Geographical Scciety for his cavern ex- plorations on the raised beaches at Gib- raltar, and was made a fellow of the Royal | Astronomical Society for his sun and| nebular observations. | He has just arrived from an inspection | of the gold fields of Coolgardie and Kai- godie. . He had intended joining the astronomical party in Japan to take ob-| servations of the recent eclipse. He was unable to get there in time, however, so he recou: and had to content himself with taking some observations from islands north of Samoa. For a few days recently he has been at Mount Hamilton looking through the great Lick telescope. 5 *I was much impressed with the gold resources of Coolgardie and Kalgodie,” said Colonel Burton Brown; “they are seemingly inexnaustible, but the country is surrounded by a desert so great as to make mining in every way costly. For this reason the product must be very materially lessened. If there was an abundance of water there the gold output ‘would be enormous. 4 “I yisited many of the outlying dis- tricts, and examined the deposits carefully from a geological standpoint. There is almost no limit to to the gold. The only impediment 1s the great cost of getting it out. “In times past I have hunted s good deal 1n different tountries for big game. It was my intention to remain for s time and hunt some of the game here, and for $10,717 65 and of ex-Senator J. N. Dolph of Oregon’ for $279475. The claims were on account of money loaned.
