THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1896. ONLY A LITTLE LESS COMPLEX Oakland’s Republican Pri- maYries Fail to Shed Much Light. FRED STRATTON AHEAD The Superior Judgeship in Doubt, Though Hall Is Thought to Be Safe, | LEAVITT FOR THE ASSEMBLY. Twenty-Nine Anti-Perkins Delegates Will Be Sent to the Forthcoming Convention—Rumors. OAKLAND OFFICcE SAN F 908 Broad The Republican primaries were held throughout the county this afternoon and evening, and the situation is only a little less complex than it was before. Fred 8. Stratton will go into Monday's convention with every delegate from the Tweaty-seventh Senatorial District. His opponent, Dr. Derrick, did not win in a single precinct. The contest for Superior Judge is still in doubt. S. P. Hall will certainly have more than enough votes to nominate on the first ballot, but the other nomina- tion is in doubt. It has been generally thought that Judge Greene’s strength is as great as that of Hall, but this was denied to-night by some of Hall's most intimate friends. In fact, they openly say that Hall’s vote would have been even larger had so much not been made of the ‘‘Hall-Greene'’ slogan. W. Langan has carried every dele- gate in the outside tcwnships except s in Eden, which go to Greene. W. L. Hill bas been the runninz mate of Laugan so far as the judiciary contest goes, and it1s | generally considered that aiter Hall the chances are for Langan, Greene, Hill and Allen, in the order named. The managers of the party say that no other names than those mentioned will g0 before the convention. Allen’s strength is the most difficult of the many to esti- mate. In the First Ward the only place where he had a ticket of his own he car- ried out every delegate. F. W. Leavitt will certainly be nomi- nated for the Assembly from the Foriy- eighth Assembly District, as his ticket carried tihe Fourth and Sixth wards wita a large majority. He is absolutely unpledzed on the Sena- torial question, and last night Chairman Mautalen of the County Committee stated that a determined fight would be made against Perkinsin the Sixth and Fourth wards. The t was made and won, and as the Fourth 'Ward is Senator Denison’s it is certain that his recent remarks about Perkins were not idle. These two wards will send twents-nine delegates to the convention, and as they are al! anti-Per- kins bis indorsement for United States Senator will not be unanimous and will not be voted upon until there has been 2 heated devate, as several delegates will take advantage of the opportunity to ex- press their jeelings regarding the Hilborn- air, all the other Assembly Districts are in doubt. H. W. Taylor of Berkeley has the most apparent strength in his dis- aud Clark of Alvarado has aiso a hold on thedelegates. The other dis- cannot be guessed intelligently. Non one 1s_absolutely certain of a nomi- nation for_Supervisor, although it is ‘cer- tain that Baily of Livermore will not suc- ceed himself, as he lost every delegate in his own township. Mitchell of the First District has several delegates, but will have a hard fight, as Pelouze has an- nounced that be will run independent, The other district is in doubt. AYWOBAN SNIPE-SHOOTER She Goes About the Streets of Berkeley Gathering Cigar Stumps. I Followed by a Crowd of Curious Men and Bcys—Interesting News Items. BERKELEY, CaL, Sept. 19.—The uni- versity town is possessed of a freak in the person of a female “'snipe-shooter.” She has been going about the streets for the last few days gathering up all the cigarette ‘‘snipes’ and cigar stubs that she caught sight of. Already the female tobacco scavenger has picked up enough castaway ‘“‘snipes” !ron? the Berkeley gutters to D -y “This Well-Dressed Woman Has Created a Sensation in Berkeley by Going Around the Streetsand Picking Up the Butts of Half- Smoked Cigars, Cigarettes, etc. Eeep a emall sized cigarette isctory for a week.

From her appearance one would not bave the least suspicion that she was engaged in the “sniping” business, but on the other hand would rather take her for a prosperous forewoman of a shirt fac- tory, or head ironer in a modern laundry. At ber present occupation she is cer- tainly an adept. The system under which she carries on her business is indeed unique. Walking along the sidewaik like any other pedestrian, but close to the gutter, however, she first ‘‘spots” her sought-for “'snipe.” Passing it by at first, the suddenly wheels about and drops a newspaper, which she always carries, on top of the *snipe.” Ostensibly stooping to pick up tha paper, she secures both pa- When no one is looking she slips her “hind” into a large pocket sewed on the inside ot a long, 100se shoulder-cape. Proceeding along until another “*butt” has been found themethod of getting it into her bag is repeated. To-day she worked the district around Berkeley station and Dwight way, and then took the streetcar for more extensive fields in Oakland. The unusual spectacie of a woman gath- ering cigar stubs caused quite a flurry of excitement on the streets. The peculiar smoothness with which she conducted her operations excited much interest, and be- fore she had been at work for ten minutes she had following after her » crowd of ten or more curious men and boys. The Primaries in Eerkeley. BERKELEY, Car., Sept. 19.—At the primary this afiernoon the doubie-headed “Stration and Hill”’ ticket carried the day by a ratio of alviost three to one, having received 811 votes, while only 287 were cast for the “Hill” ticket. Following was the vote by precincts: Precinct No. 1, North Berkeley, Stratton 128, Hill 36; No West Berkeley, Stratton 200, Hill 85; . 3, East Berkeley, Stratton 115, Hill 615 4, Dwignt way, Stratton 136, Hill 46; , Ashby avenue, Stratton 85, Hill o. 6, Lorin, Siratton 119, Hull 19, Total straight votes cast, 1098. Comparatively little scratching was done on either ticket. The general senti- ment has been so strong of late in Strat- ton’s favor, because ot his having pledged himself to work vigorously for the inter- ests of the university, tnat his choice for the senatorship among the citizens of the college town was a foregone conclusion. Examinations in August. BERKELEY, Car., 8ept. 19.-—Recorder Button of the State University has posted | a bulletin anpouncing that all entrance examinations to the university, hereaf er, will be beld in August. This is a decided innovation, as heretofore two examina- tions were offered—one in May and the other in August. Under wue old system students were al- towed to divide their examinations be- tween these two periods, while under the new law all the “‘exes” must be taken at the same time. Freshmen Register Out. BERKELEY, CaL., Sept. 19.—A com- plete register of the ciass of 1900 has been published by the university press, with statisties of admission for the past six years, showing the number of entrances to the university to have increased as fol- Jows: ‘91, 1 243; '93, 303; '94, 419; '95, 96, 48 Of the 481 students ad- mitied this year 326 are regular freshmen, 71 are limited and 84 are special students. Special Services. BERKELEY, CAL.. Sept. 19.—A special meeting of the Salvation Army will be held to-merrow night at the First Pres- byterian_ Church. Among the speakers will be Major and Mrs. McIntyre, Ensign Taylor, secretary of junior work on the Pacific Coast, Captain Spurgeon of the late Charioteers’ Band and Sister Edith Crafts of Milis College. Preparing for Their Farce. BERKELEY, CAL., Sept. 19.—The mem- bers of the junior class at the State Uni- versity met yesterday and after a period of hot debate decided to hold their junior- day farce at the Macdonough Theater in Oakland. The class voted to levy an as- sessment of $1 50 for the farce and $3 50 for the “'Blue and Gold” on each member. WHITE TALKS OF SILVER, The Senator and Other Demc- crats Talk at the Tab- ernacle. First Meeting Held by the United Bryan Forces Since the Nomina- tion of the Southern Man. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO UALL)) 908 Broadway, Sept. 19. | The Democrats, Populists and silver men heid a mass-meeting at the Taber- nacle to-night. The hall was pretty well filled with an audience which had gath- ered to hear Senator 8. M. White deliver an address. Itis the first meeting held by the united Bryan forces since his nom- ination. Senater Wuite was escorted from the train by a band and an escort of the Young Men’s Democratic Club. M. J. Laymance of the County Demo- cratic Committee called the meeting to order. o George W. Baker was the first speaker and he briefly reviewed the progress of the Silver League of the Pacific Coast since its organization. He said it consisted of Democrats, Republicans and Populists and is daily - growing larger and more powerful. In a pretty sentence Mr. Baker introduced Miss Mollie £. Conners, editor of Oakland Saturday Night. “Things have come to a pretty pass, said Mies Connors, “when a man of 36 is called a boy orator. Pitt ruled England when he was even younger than Bryan, whom they aeride and ridicule to-da; and call a youth. Mary Bryan is as goo: 2 partner as you want for your President. Co ming into our Golden Gate this fali we shall see our ship of state, the Bryanite ship, and nailed at the masthead shall be the flag of frec silver and prosperity to a clamoring Nation.” Warren B. English made a few remarks and introduced 5:(9 speaker of the evening, Stephen M. White. “‘Our entire country stands to-day,” he said, “in the attitude of a helpless, heart- sick baby Nation. This is the hour when American yeomanry is at a premium and not party influences, of which we know and hear so much. Two years ago your State convention resolved in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. You meant it then and you mean it now. Iam here now to call on you to arise above the dictates of Mark Hanna.” Mr. White spoke at length upon what he considered the basis of Republicanism in_California. He alluded to the widely different and, as he thought, inconsistent action of the Republicans in a later con- ventior than wat held at Sacramento. Mr. White concluded his speech by out- lining the policy upon which his party expected to win out. Itis mainly by re- stricting foreign immigration and by fighting the money markets of the world in open batti —_——— The “Fish Gang.” OAKLAND, Cal., Sept. 19.—Edw.

COULD HARDLY RAISE A CHEER FOR BRYAN AND SEWALL 0ld-Time Populists Capture the County Conven- tion. - FUSION A BITTER PILL. Office-Holders Prohibited From Taking Seats as Dal- egates. MR. BRYAN IS A POPULIST. That Is the Reason Why Judgs G.b- son Is in Favor of the Nebraska Man. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) way, Sept. 19. | The Populist County Convention, held to-day, was very different from that of a few months ago, when delegates were elected to the State Convention. Then the younger element, known as the “‘short-hairs,” was in control; to-day all after some more talking by the conference committee the report was adopted. Owing to the persistency of some of the delegates to indulge in talking the conven- tion lasted for more than an hour after the ratification meeting bad opened at the Tabernacle. The following nominations were made: Forty-seventh Assembly District —- Green Majors of Alameda. Forty-ninth Assembly District—Ed Maguire f Oakland. e ot Assembly District—Dr, A F. Filty-first Childs. Supervisor Fourth District—M. L. Gray of Piedmont. Supervisor Fifth District—B. C. Allen of Oakiand. For Superfor Judge, E. M. Gibson of Oakland; for City Jmuge, W. F. Aram of Alameda. lho THEALLRS, “Madame Sans Gene’ and the ‘‘Com- modore’” Next Week OAKLAND, CAL., Sept. 19.—The pretty Macdonough will be crowded with one of Oakland’s most fashionable audiences Monday to see Katbryn Kidder open a week’s engagement in “Madame BSans Gene’” after a most snccessful run across the bay. The company comprises fifty- eight very clever people and has its own settings and costumes, and the play will’ be presented in the same fullness as in New York and San Franeisco. “The Commodore” will be given Mon- day night at the Oakland Theater for the first time on any stage, with all special scenery and a cast of over fiity people. Mr. Bacon’s Portland Company opens in that city next Sunday. Bacoa’scompany, now playing at the Oakiand, nolds the record for a long run in Portland. It Democrats Hold a County Convention at the Tabernacle. FUSION AND CONFUSION. One f the Delegates Arrested for Slapping Another’s Face. HENRY McPIKL'S PAUSES. They Were Necessary to Induce Delegates and Proxy-Ho'ders to Cheer. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Sept. 19. There has frequently been more enthusi- asm in the Tabernacle than there was to- day di®ing the Democratic county con- vention, but there has never been less. The name of W. J. Bryan did not en- danger the roof, and when Chairman Mc- GREEN MAJORS of Alameda, the Populist County Convention. Chairman of l SETH MANN of Oakland, Chairman of the Democratic County Convention. was changed and the senior element, known as the “long-hairs,” was in abso- lure control, Adpa A. Denison was chairman of the former convention and carried everything before him; to-day the convention would have nothing of its tormer chairman, and when Denison tried to speak in support of a minority report on credentials he was actually invited to sit down, while many | shouted, “Gag him!” It was a great fall | in a few short months, but A. A. Bretz | was once more in control and Denison’s | prestige had ended. The convention met at 9 o’clock, and owing to the number of orators who in- sisted on being heard no nominations had been made at 5 p. a. Every little debat- able point was made the subject of argu- ment, and although the “middle-oi-the- road” men could not be deprived of their three-minutes’ speeches their talking was all in vain, for the “long-hairs’’ who a few short weeks ago howled themselves hoarse from the City Hall forum against fusion had changed their minds and had everything their own way. But the short- enders talked just the same. > Green Majors of Alameda was elected chairman ana spoke briefly about eternal vizilance, freedom znd usury. Judge Gibson helped 1o entertain the delegates while the committee on creden- tials was preparing its report. Referring to fusion ke said: *I went into the Popu- lisi party because I was converted. I was in favor of the nomination of Mr. Bryan, not the indorsement, beceuse I believe he is more of a Populist than a Democrat; because I believe him to be a sincere man. I believed in nominating bim because I beiieve he 18 with the people and not with the monopolists and plutocrats of the country. Not to gointo convention with those opposed to Mr. McKinley means de- feat, and is it not better to join and elect part of ourticket? Iam in {avor, therefore, of joining with the Democrats at this time and securing a portion of the local offices. “In order to do this some will probably be disappointed, but the Populists have to yield somethinz. Do you not think that it wouid be a good thing for the Populist party to have even two members of the gnnv in the Board of Supervisors? The opulists have an opportunity to elect three Supervisors, who will support our Populist Assessor, Dalton.” 3irs. Dr. Kellogg-Lane made some timely remarks about woman’s suffrage, and after appointing a committee on resolu- tions the delegates went to lunch. When the afternoon session opened the friction commenced. The credentials com- mittee reported in favor of not permitting any cffice-holder to sit as a delegate. There was a minority report against dis- qualification because of office-holding, and a heated debate foliowed. A. A. Denison was speaking, and had used his time, when some one proposed he be given three minutes more. Ten minutes were wasted 1n debate, and Denison was de- feated in his aspiration. Charles White, con of the Sheriff, said it was very apparent the report was aimed at him and said it was absurd, as unaer that ruling 2 man who worked on the streets could be shut out from being a del- egate. A final vote showed that the office- holders were not in favor and they left their seats. Then came the important question of the adoption of the report on fusion. The report provided that the People’s party shall have the Assemly nomina- tions for the Forty-seventh, Forty-ninth and Fifty-first Assembly districts, the nomination of Bupervisor for the Fourth Bupervisor District, one Judge of the Su- perior Court, and one Justice of the Peace for Oakland city, and that the Democratic party shall have the nominations for As- semblymen in the Forty-sixth, Forty- eighth and Fiftieth districts, for Senator in the Twenty-seventh Senatcrial District, one Judge of the Superior Court and one Justice of the Peace for the city of Oak- and. While the argument about its adoption was in progress H. C. McPike, from the Democratic Convention, which was in ses- sion a few blocks away, aropped in and delivered some good Democratic doctrine. Iv was like oil on woubled waters, aud T played there nine months, without miss- ing a single performance. Hallock Will Supply. OAKLAND, Car, Bept. 19.—The Pil- grim Congregational Church, ai Eighth avenue and East Sixteenth street, has se- cured the Rev. L. H. Hallock, D.D., late of the First Congregational Church of Ta- coma, Wash., but now pastor and lecturer at Mills College, in this county, to supply their pulpit for the present. Dr. Hallock has held pastorates in Con- necticut and at Portland, Me., where he was the immediate successor of the Rev. F. E. Clark of Christian Endeavor fame. From there he went to the sound country, where he was for three years, in which time he took in 190 members. There will be only 11 o'clock services Sundays and the Thursday evening meet- ings. 3 Stewart’s Testimonial. OAKLAND, CaAL., Sept. 19.—The social event of the coming week is Alex T. Stew- art’s testimonial concert at the Unitarian Church Friday evening under the patron- age of Mrs. 8. F. Stratton, Mrs, B. F. Dun- bam, Mrs, S. F. Alexander, Mrs. H. G, Thomas, Mrs. E. L. Hall, Mrs. G. T. Haw- ley, Mrs. J. L. Hewsrd, Mrs, W. H. Chickering, Mrs. W. R. Davis, and Mrs. L, T. Snow of Alameda. The programme will include orchestra selections and solo numbers by Sigmund Beel, Mrs. Olive Reed, John W. Metcalf, Miss Dorothy Goodsell, W. B. King, C. i\\'l:anbHae and Miss Clara Louise Sai- ord. Pike read the platform he met with the disappointment of his life. He read the indorsing paragraph and duly paused after the words, **Bryan and Sewall,” but there was no response. Suddenly the son of Postmaster White took the cue and kicked the floor. Others foliowed suit, and the name of the Nebraska man who uses Scriptural similes was accorded a half- hearted cheer. Chairman Laymance of the County Cen- tral Committee called the delegates, and it was found that there was a large number of proxies. Seth Mann was unanimously elected to preside over the convention and Leo Park was made secretary. During the recess there was a little ex- citement. J. B. Bernard, a liveryman of Niles, became involved in an altercation with J. P. Bedard, a blacksmith of the same place, uvon the floor of thé conven- tion and slapped the latter’s face. Dur- ing the primaries Bernard bet Bedard $20 that he (Bernard) wouid be in the conven- tion. When they met to-day it was in the delegation’s seats on the floor and Bernard told Bedard that he had no busi- ness there. Bedard replied that Bernard had stuffel the ballot-box to get there. This was aenied with an oath and the lie was passed when Bernard slapped the oth- er’s face and friends parted tnem. At the noon hour Bedard swore toa warrant for his assailant’s arrest. During the afternoon session an officer came in and took Bernard out. At the City Hall Bernard put up $100 and returned to the convention. The report of the platform committee was as follows: The Democratic party of Alameda County, n convention assembled, expresses its hearty ndorsement of the principles embodied in the late National and State Democratic platforms. We offer William J. Brvan for President and Arthur Sewal! for Vice-President of the United States our united support and bid them god- speed on the highway of their efforts in behalf of & long suffering, patient, but law-sbiding people. We believe that the obligations of benefici- ies of the public bounty should be strictly enforced; that our prosperity should not be weighted down with obligations that should be liquidlted in this day and generation. We therefore express our disapproval and con- demnation of any effort by Congress to fund the debt of the Central Pacific Railroad Com- ny. We believe in accommodating our county highways to the demands of an advancing civilization, and to that end pledge our nomi- nees for Supervisors and Legislature to use alt le%umne efforts to accomplish such a result. e {favor the continuance of the State Bu- rean of Highways provided by the last Legis- lature, and pledge our nominees to an active interestin its perpetuation and effectiveness, 1o the end that the whole State may be brought under a uniform system of highways, thus insuring to the public the best means of inter- communication. We believe in a just rate of assessment of property, and pledge our nominees for Super- Visors to act with fairness and impartiality in the discharge of the function of Equalizers. We are proud of the record made by Hon. Stephen M. White, United States Senator from California, He has stood up manfully and bat- tled hard for the rights of the people. We disapprove of the conduct of Congress- man S G. Hilborn in having passed a bill through Congress by which the people of Oak- land were permitted to parchase alotand build a postoffice for the use of the Umnited States. This being the sum of his efforts in be- half of the people of the Congressional district we permit him to gracefully return to the gloom of his own obscurity. The reports of the various committees were received and passed by the conven- tion, and business proceeded rapialy. R. M. Fiizgerald called for the fusion report. It was read by H. C. McPike, and every time Bryan’s name was mentioned he paused and waited for the faint cheer that seemed to hesitate to come. Judge Gibson and A. A. Broty, from the Popu- list convention down the street, appeared at this stage, and there was a little love feast, and all was agreed to with the ex- ception of some difficnlty over a Super- visorial district. The following nominations were made by the Democratic convention: S El‘liyermr Judge—Thomas L. Garrity of Oak- and. Forty-sixth Assembly District—C. C. Hamil- ton of Haywards. Forty-eighth Assembly District—Not filled. Fiftieth Assembly Disirici—R. W. Meyrick of Oakland. Twenty-seventh Senatorial District—No one would accept nomination. City Justice of the Peace—J. E. McElroy. The following new County Central Com- mittee was appointed: First Ward—DM. Farrell, E. L. Cordage, James Henneberry. . W’;;nird Ward—S. Kehoe, P. O'Kane, W. B, ite. Fourth Ward—C. H.

NOT AFRAID TO FIGHT, Pugilist Brown Explains Why He Will Not Again Mest the Haywards Man, The Gate Money Disappeared at Va- llej> and the Winner Is Anxiously Waiting for It. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALy, 908 Broadway, Sept. 19. } James Brown, the colored pugilist of this city, who recently defeated Martin Mulverviil of Haywards at Vallejo, is still waiting for his share of the gate money. Although a return match between the two men is trying to be arranged by their friends Brown refuses to do anything more until he is paid for making Mr. Mulverhiil insensible a month ago. Brown is particularly incensed at not receiving his money because he did such excellent work., The agreement called for a maximum of twenty rounds and so adroit was Brown that Mulverhill was sleeping before the close of the fourth round. “The match was arranged by Frank Burns, who acted as manager,” said Brown to-day, *and I should have re- ceived 75 per cent of the gate money.

Anxious to Avoid Any Possib'e Mis. understanding With the War Department. OAKLAND OFFICE 8AN FrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Sept. 19, f The City Council has gone on record in the tidal canal matter. Several months ago they were induced to sign a memorial to the War Department asking that the tidal canal at the Alameda end of the es- tuary be constructed first. They thought no more of the matter unfil they heard some weeks later that there was a conflict at Washington between the petitions to which were appended the names of the Oakland City Council. An investigution was made, and it was discovered that they had signed the sece ond petition, believing that it was along the same lines as the first. They found out their mistake and at once did all they could to rectify it. The resuit was a pro- cession of petition-bearers bound for Wasbington that completely upset the calculations of the War Department. Another communication was sent re- cently from the Alameda Board of Trus- tees, and so that it shculd not score a point ahead of Oakland the City Council at its last meeting passed a resolution de- claring that 1t believes the best interests of this city will be served by completing the Oakland end of the barbor first. A copy of the resolution was forwarded to the War Department to-day, making one more document to the large library of correspondence on the subject that is now with the War Department. ————— Lloyd’s Letter.
