Prohibitionists Begin Legal Proceed- 1| ings to Get Their Nominees On the kallot. QAKLAND, CaL, Oct. 10.—The Pro- hibition party of Alameda County have sued for an alternative writ of manaate to compel County Clerk Jordan to .dle in his office the certificate of nomination of the Prohibition county convention and the acceptance of the auditing committee named. Judge Ogden issued an order for the County Clerk to appear Qctaber 13 and show cause why the writ should not be issued. The affidavit sets forth in legal phrase- ology that the Prohibition nominations were regularly made, that at the last elec- tion the party polled the necessary 3 per cent of the votes cast in the Btate and county and that a certificate of nomina- tion was filed with the County Clerk. It is alleged that the Clerk refused it without designating any defect, writing or omission why he should not accept it. On the next day it was presented and refused andis still refused by that official. On the sec- ond presentation of the certificate the Clerk presented a written statement, giv- ing bis reasons for refusing the same. He set forth that it was nov properly attested, that it did not state that the convention was an organized assemblage of delegates and that it did not give the auditing com- mittee as required by law.

FLETCHER, Who Wants the Oakland Police Force to Make as Good a Showing Against San Francisco at Drill as at Shooting. an ambition to instillinto the local police- men some military ideas, and practice will commence at once. . For a long time Captain Flstcher has been trying to make a presentable appear- ance with the force when on parade, but 8o far he has always been glad when it was over and he was able to enjoys the seclusion of his offic. He has now reached the conclusion that only & course of drills can produce the desired result, and so the drills will begin at once. All this extra work for the Police De- partment is the direct result of a visit mede by Captain Fletcher to the San Francisco parade of policemen last Thurs- day. The Oukland man watched with envy the display of gold braid and the beautiful regularity of the evolutions and brightness of the numerous buttons, and decided that the Oakland bobby wasa long way from par. He returned to this side of the bay, and he has been talking of uniforms "and counter marches and ‘‘threes” and ““fours” eversince. TheSan Francisco parade convinced the gallant captain tha: if all the police forces in the State could march in such smelr columns and fix their eyes rieht as quickly as Chief Crowley’s men do, Blanther and Dunham would not now be enjoying their liberty. No one knows better than Captain Fletcher the magnitude of the task he has undertaken., There are only fifty mwen on the Oakland force and not more than forty can ever be available at one time and eight rows of fives can only make a showing that will not compare very favorably with 8an Frarcisco's 400. “That sight last Thursday was a grand one,’” said Captain Fletcher, “and there is no reason why Oakland should not make as good a showing in proportion to our number. A police force is a semi- military organization and the members should at least understand the rudiments cf ordinary drill.”” “Captain Kletcher's ideas are quite proper,’’ said one of the force to-day. **but we shall only look like a brigade of guys. ‘We are too shortbanded and have no time to spare to go and drill. The etficiency of ® police department is not aisplayed by a dress parade anyhow and I would rather land a good burglar than stand still and let the small boys admire me while the sun shines on my buttons.” The drills will be conducted in the High 8choo! grounds and very soon the percent- age of the force for dress parades will be largely increased. ““We have proved our ability to shoot all J SR 10 A. »., communion service, conducted by Kev.

Greatly Encouragzd by Their Success in Their Match With Santa Resa High School. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIECO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Oct. 10. St. Mary’s College expects great things from its football team and Manager J. J. Greeley promises that they shall be forth- coming. Their success with the Santa Rosa High School has greatly encouraged them. In speaking of the prospects of the team Manager Greeley said: “The boys have vastly improved since their last game, when they easily defeated the Santa Rosa boys, and much credit is due to Coach Wyckoff, who is laboring daily to improve their team work. At present about eizhteen men are endeavoring to make the team, and from the outlook it will be a stern contest, The team is not as heavy as last year's eleven it is true, but never a grittier or faster eleven has graced the portals of St. Mary’'s than this year's eleven. S “McGuire and Ferdinanz are the candi- dates for center,and both are quick and cool men. Brady will hold down left guard, and if he continues to play bis dashing game he will rank as one of the best men on the coast. Butler and Mc- Guire are trying for left guard and both are putting up a snappy game. “Cone and Haywards are tighting for right tackle and are leading each other a merry chase for the position. Hastings, one of the besi men on the team, and Ferry are candidates for left tackle, and both™ are first-class men. Mahoney and Flood, both old-time men at the college, will hold down left end, while either Armijo or Huff will in all probability be selected for right end. “Behind the line the star material of the team may be found. Captain Mogan, the right half, is one of the best men that has ever played in the college eleven, and as a line bucker he has no equal. Rathgan, the left half, is a well-known player. For quarter Welsh or Holmes will be selectea, and they are quick, cool and valuable men. McCartney, the full- back, is a valuable addition to the team, and asa punter and line bucker heisa top-notcher.” be schedule of games includes matches against Santa Clara College, University of Nevada, Vallejo and Stockton. DEMANDS A NEW WHEEL, Pomeroy Sends a Formal Claim to the Southern Pacific Company. Attributes His Freedom From Per- " sonal Injury to B:ing a Foot ball-Player. 0AELAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Oct. 10. Edward B. Pomeroy of this city bas presented a claim to the Southern Pacific i Company for $100. or a new Spalding bicycle. He says the company should feel that it is getting off very cheap at that and pay without delay. e says his escape from personal injury was due to his being a football player and not easily affected. Pomeroy was the only passenger on the Haywards local Tuesda: evening when it met and was wrecked by a run- away freightcar of fruit from Haywards. The wheel beingin the baggage-car was badly demoralized and wrenched out of all semblance to a wheel. Mr. Pomeroy eacns)ed with a few bruises, from which he has fully recovered. The runaway car was the result of a train switching at the station. A car was “kicked” in on the siding and tbe brake- man failed to ‘‘catch” it. The road is on a grade and the car gathered momentum as it continued on its run. The engineer had orders to run ahead of time £0 as to let the freight get ont without delay and was making the best time possible, when, without any warning, he saw on the track the car. The engineer and fireman jumped and saved themselves, but the car and engine were perfect wrecks. The trainmen also escaped with bruises althongh Conductor Gothed was seriously cut about the head by broken glass. The freight engine. came down the rbad for the car and expected to find a number of dead and wounded people, but was re- lieved to find that all had escaped. After some delay the track was cleared and the trains brought in. e ecly el o ‘Was Shown to Visitors, QAKLAND, CaL., Oct. 10.—With the sale o) K/ / J. BRADY. F. FERRY. D. MAHONEY. C. MOGAN., ST.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Oct. 10. The Fourth Ward McKinley Club has made arrangements to hold a rousing meeting at Montana Hall, Seventh and Adeline streets, on Tuesday evening. The Board of Health at its regular monthly meeting last night decided to abandon that part of the milk ordinance which provides for ihe tuberculin test. c The ten mile road race of the Associated Cycling Clubs, which will start to-morrow at 11 o’clock over the High-street-Haywards course, is attracting attention all over this coast among wheelmen. Four lads giving the names of Henry Uniack and Otwo_Dunbonad of San Francisco and William Passmore and Joseph Copeland of Oregon were arrested this morning and booked as runaways. Dr. M. Linezser, the new rabbi of the Syna- gogue Beth Jacob, will be installed to-morrow afternoon. The church is being specially dec- orated for the occasion by the ladies of the congregation and the programme for the day is being carefully rehearsed. Health Officer Dr. Bradley has made a trip through the iocal Chinatown and has discov- ered s conditions which may cause him to recom d the same overhauling of the build- ings there that those in the Oriental quarter of San Francisco are undergoing, There will be a big Republican meeting in Berkeley Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the joint Republican clubs, at Shattuck Hall. General W. H. L. Barnes and other orators wiil be heard. The university band and glee club will assist. PACIFIC-UNION CLUB The Proposed New Home on Van Ness Avenue Will Inveolve an Outlay of $325,000. The active and progressive members of the Pacific-Union Club are still full of the moving spirit and earnestly in favor of a club home on Van Ness avenue. Since the general meeting last week the en- thusiasm has somewhat subsided, and on reflection many of the members are con- vinced that $325,000 is a large sum of money when it comes to actually raising it. When it is simply discussed in mo- ments of enthusiasm it does not appear prodigous, but talking of money is one thing and making money talk another. The proposition to move the club to Van Ness avenue cannot be closed untit that sum of money orits equivalent in bonds is actually in sight. The land on the avenue formerly owned by the late Fred Castle, but now owned by Colonel C. F. Crocker, possesses many advantages for aclubhouse. Itis generally regarded as the ideal site. At one time there was great talk of building a magnificent tem- ple for the Masons on the land, and a Ma- sonic syndicate was organized and nego+ tiations for the purchase were concluded. ‘When the time came for execution of the deed the Castle people wanted an in- dividual rather than a society to become responsible for the payment under the terms of purchase, It was feared that the society might change its bylaws, disincor- porate or do something else to cause liti- gation. Then Colonel Crocker, as the representative of the temple syndicate, stood in and became personally respon si- ble for the future payments. 0 one stepped forward to deprive him of the distinction of paying the whole amount of money aecessary to obtain the site and hence he is now the owner, The Pacific-Union Club’s lease of the building now occnnie(t will expire next April, but the club must signify on or be- fore October 30 whether it will surrender the premises or extend the lease.

(DEFEATS THEIR PURPOSE, Ozkland’s System of Taxing Local Products Roundiy Denounced. The Le-gis'ature Wiil B> Asked to He'p California to Protect % Itself. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRraNcIsco CALL,| 908 Broadway, Oct. 10. A movement is on foot to introduce a bill in the next Legislature to forbid any municipality taxing the State products. M. J. Keller, vice-president of the Manufacturers’ Association, is entirely in favor of the measure. Said he: *‘License regulation in California towns is not in the interest of the State’s natural development. It seems there is a waste of a good deal of valuable time and money in the way of legislative and license para- phernalia in trying to find out how much neighboring merchants and manufac- tarers can cinch each other. Asa matter of fact their licenses are entirely inopera- tive, as against representatives of houses or manufacturers outside of the State, and even inoperative against representa- tives of California agents of outside con- cerns. “The case, therefore, narrows itself down to preventing the sale of California-made goods to consumers. Is this wise in view of the efforts being made to inducethe purchase and consumption of California- made goods? Is it wise in view of the tendency of the times toward the abolish- ment of middlemen? Isit fair that the Eastern competitor of a San Francisco manufacturer is allowed to go scot-free from license, while the neighboring dealer and manufacturer must be punished, thwarted and run out of busiuess because of an absurd idea of State’s rights which permits California towns to impose such antiquated barriers to the natural develop- ment of home prodacts? “Take, for instance, the towns on this side of the bay. How much time, energy and money is expended in trying to tax each other, and is not the impression left on the consumer that the Oakland, Ala- meda and Berkeley merchants need pro- tection from San Francisco; thatitis from lack of ability to compete with the bigger neighbor? “I am in favor of a law being passed by the next Legislature that willdorever pre- vent any municipality from taxing the State’'s products—at least, so long as the National constitution prevents our State from taxing or bampering the sale of goods from another State.”’ CHARTER MISS-MEET The Mission Defense Union Expresses Its Preference by Resolutions. The Proposed Fundamental Liw of 8an Francisco Spoken Of as a “P:st” Destroyer. The Mission Defense Union resolved it- self into 8 mass-meeting'at Turner’s Hall, on Eighteenth street, last night to advo- cate the adoption of the new charter. Judge F. W. Van Reynegom presided, and in his opening remarks he showed from a chart which hung back of the platform an approximate vote of the City as cast at the last election: First ward, 1497; Second Ward, 3134; Third Ward, 640; Fourth Ward, 1802: Fifth Ward, 464; Sixth Ward, 1725; Saventh Ward, 1595; Eighth Wara, 5634; Ninth Ward, 3546; Tenth Ward, 7028; Eleventh Wdrd, 18,631; Twelfth Ward, 15852; which gives to the Eleventh and Twelfth wards 384,483 out of a total of 61,548, These figures were advanced to prove the necessity of a more equal division of not only the ward bonndaries, but also the representation in the management of the municipal government. Qut of the eighteen Assembly districts in the City five are located in the Eleventh Ward. 7 In conclusion he claimed that the new charter will wipe out these ancient ward lines. William Metzner on being introduced spoke at considerable length on the char- ter, and by the way of saying a good word for his neighbor,James Phelan,sand wiched m his fitness for the office for which he bas been nominated. H. N. Clement, one of the framers of tha proposed charter, pointed out its good qualities by drawing attention to the bad ones of the present consolidated laws that now contain 110 amendments pat there by the Legislature from time to time. He claimed that if the charter should be adopted 1t would “forever destroy the boss power and kill the political pests that now infest the City Hall.”” D. W. Thompson, Charles Wesley Reed, Dr. J. A. Anderson, J. R. Freud, 8. J. Theisen and George D. Shadburn followed, all of whom.made telling points in favor of the adoption of the charter. Judge F. W. Van Keynegom offered the foliowing series of resolutions, which were unanimously carried: Buolw.dw'l'hlt we, the residents of the Eleventh Ward of S8an Francisco, assembled in mass-meeting this 10th day of October, 1896, for the purpose ¢f promoting the deulogmem and gmpernv of the Cidy in which our homes and business interests are centered, do hereby indorse and ratify the rmpoud new charter for 8an Francisco and pledge ourselves to vote and work for iis adoption at the coming elec tion, on the 3d of next November.

Also this one regardirg the high school site: Resolved, That we, the citizens and taxpay- ers of the Mission district, urge upon the Board of Education to take such immediate action as will expedite the object for which we have so long labored; be it turther , That we ask the Board of Educa- tion in selecting & site to in 5o far as possible select one that will most fuily satisly the ma- Jjority of our people as to location as weil as to sanitation. e unhésitatingly condemn thie graveyard sites as in every sense unsatisfac. tory, and would recommend thet the site be located within the district bounded on the north by Eighteenth street, on the west by Dolores street, on the east by Mission street and on the south by Twenty-sixth street.
