Reed Disproved Beyond a Doubt, NOT TO GO TO SACRAMENTO. It Was Not Intended at the Outset Nor Since That He Should Sp:ak in That Place. its desperate attempts to save the Demo- cratic party in California from anniiala- tion, has been charging that Thomas B, Reed was to be sent to Sacramento for the purpose of delivering a speeclr in order to assist the candidacy of Congressman Grove L. Johnson for re-election, As is nsuatly and almost invariably th case with all the statements of the Ex- aminer on political matters, there is not the slightest foundaiion for this report. Secretary Higgins of the Republican State Central Committee said yesterday that Mr. Reed’s itinerary, as originally’ made out and as it stands to-day, did not em- brace Sacramento at all, He said that some merchants doing business in this City and resiaing in Oakland had ¢ollect- ed a subscription from patriotic citizens of that city for the purpose of defraying all the expenses of Mr. Reed’s visit to this State and handed the proceeas to the Re- publican State Central Committee. They asked in return for the subscription that the committee should assign Mr, Reed to speak in Oakland next Monday afternoon, on which date the Oaklanders intended to have a big parade, the speaking to take place in the pavilion at the racetrack. The first arrangement made with Mr. Reed was that he was to deliver five speeches in this State, one in Loz Angeles, one in San Francisco, one in Stockton, one in San Jose and one in Santa Rosa. By changing the progrumme so that he would speak in Los Angeles in the after- noon and leave there ‘or Stockton on the same evening sufficient time would be gained to allow him to speek in Oakland. :He will not speak in Sacramento and it was never intended that he should. Thus another Examiner falsehood has been ex- posed. 1t was ‘made out of whole cloth and it was never pretended that there was any foundation for it. Lo Arrival of Thomas B. Reed. Thomas B. Reed and his daughter Kittie | arrived from San Jose at 10:40 this morn- | ing, and were met at the Third and Town- send depot by Major McLaughlin; D. M. | Higgins -and John D. Spreckels, repre- | senting the State Central Committee. They were taken in carriages to the Tib- | uron ferrv and ie!t on the boat for Tiburon at 11 o’clock on their way to Santa Rosa. He was accompanied across the bay by W. W. Montacue, A. W. Foster, B. P. Flint, Major Kyle and others. At the Tiburon whari the visitors were met by A. B. Lemmon and . W. Byington, who accompanied them to Santa Bosa, USED STAMPS ILLEGALLY How Postmaster Glacken of Oak Grove Squared Accouats With Creditors. A Poll of the United States Grand Jury Shows McKinley an Overwhelm- ing Favorite, John P. Glacken, one of the most prom- has | inent citizens of Oak Grove, Cal., was yes- terday indicted by the United States | Grand Jury on a charge of falsely using stamps. The accused man is assistant postmaster at Oak Grove and from the evidence presented it appears that he used his position to perpetrate a gross fraud. ‘The Grand Jury returning the indictment was also discharged yesterday, the term for which® they were summoned having expired. Glacken’s method of getting ahead of the Government was-not by any.means new. In fourth-class offices the amount of the remuneration depends altggether on the sale of stamps. Some time ago Glacken bethought himself of a way to in- crease the profits of the office and‘inci- dentally pay off a few debts. He erdered larges guantities of stamps from the de- partment and then began to settle with pressing creditors. : - The Assistant Postmaster had pur- chased a house on the installment plan, and regularly each month paid the assess- ment in stamps. Finally these trans- actions reached Inspector in charge Munro, who getailed Inspector Thrall to investigate the case. Without delay he visited Oak Grove, and there found the conditicn of uffairs even worse than re- ported. Glacken had used about $500 worth of stamps in{myment of hisdebts. The Building and Loan Association Wwas his greatest graft, because their business called for a large monthly outlay for stamps. They had not nhesitated to aic- cept the little red gummed pieces of paper, because they were just as good as cash -to them. Glacken, however, paid other debts with s amps, until finally the market of Oak Grove became gutted. Then there was talk, which finally ended in Glacken’s indictment, as already told. The Grand Jury, which has just ad- journed, held twenty-four meetings and considered thirty-one cases. In twenty- two cases indictments were returned, and in nine others the charges were ignored.

WORK CUT 0UT FOR THE MINERS New Business to Come Before Their Con- vention, . Laws Needed as to Locations and the Rights of Co-- Owners, A SECRETARYSHIP OF MINES, A Suggestion That the Industry Be Represented in the Board of Regents. The State .miners’ convention; ‘which will meet in this City on the 10th of No- vember, will have brought to its attention more questions of importanze to the min- ing industry: at large than any of its predecessors. -~ Aside from the unfinished work in con- nection with the mineral land act now vefore Congress and the reopening of hydraulic mines, which is in the nature of unfinisbed business, there will be brought to the convention’s attention the guestion of the establishment of a secretaryship of appointment by the Governor of a mining man.in the Board of Regents of the State University, matters in connection with the Mining Bureau and the adoption by the Legislature ana (ongress of suitable general laws in regard to mining. = In this last connection the Mining and Scientific Press has. had prepare ! for the consideration of the convention by A. H, Ricketts of this City a number of proposed laws and a constitational amendment, Of these one thatwll be of most interest to miners of all classes is a law to supple- ment the Federsl mining law as to- loca- tions, manner of recording and the rights of co-owners. The Federat mining law contemplates that the miners of each mining disirict and the different States and Territories may supplement the statute by regula- tions or laws governing the location, manner of recording amount of work nec- essary to hold possession of a minin claim, subject to requirements which nees not be here expressed. All the mining States, except California and Nevada, and all the mining Territories have long since seen the necessity of adopting a general code of laws relating to the above subjects, annual assessment work and the rights of co-owners. This necessity became appar- ent from the facts that the laws and cus- toms of one mining district had no force or'effect in any other mining district, that the regulations and customs were always to be proven, and that they became inop- erative by disuse. This led to intermin- general laws. The want of such a2 law in this State has led to conflicting decisions and given an instability to the locator’s right to his claim. It has midled the locator into the ruinous belief that the recording of his notice<in every event was an evidence of bis title; yet the Supreme Court of this State has held that, in the absence of a lqcal rule or .custom providing. for the record, iu is useless for any purpose. The marking of a location, next to the discovery of mineral thereon, is the most essential requisite of location; yet there is nothing in the Federal law or the law of this State which provides for the size, character, position or marking of such monuments. In one mining district, therefore, 10 this State the marking of a mining ciaim may be accomplished by markiug the center line with a stake or ‘monument and notice thereon, and per- haps in the adjoining district a locator may be -compelied to erect as many as nine monuments upon his claim, The Federal mining law provides for the advertising out of a delinquent co-owner, bnt the State law has not, until recently, provided that the record of such proceed- in{;s was evidence of any fact therein con- tained, nor does it now proviie that evi- dence may be had to show that the pro- ceedings had been annulled by due pay- ment of the delinquent’s proportionate share, 3 The Federal mining law provides for ‘millsites and tunnel rights, but the would- be locator of such claims isat sea as to what constitutes a proper marking of his location. The Land Department of the United States has endeavored by regula- tion to give the tunnel-right locator at lelugc a proper mode of monumenting his claim, The® law which had been prepared by the press on these subjects is designed to add stability to the miner’s title aud fur- nish Irim a safe guide for the acquiring of the differest classes of mining claim«, as well as overcome many of the confiicting decisions in the courts upon these sub- jects. In addition to this is presented an amended mechanics’ lien llpw. The me- chanics’ lien law of this State gives yery little jprotection to the working miner. In fact the Supreme Court has reduced the lien Jaw to an absurdity, as far as the miner is concerned, in the case of Jurgen- son vs. Diller, and in the opinion which declared that no lien existed where prop- erty worked was upon ground held under an agricultural patent or a Mexican grant. Another law proposed is an amend- ment to the existing Federal law in more clearly defining what shall consti- tute placers. A late decision of the {-the fair fame mines in. the Federal Government, the |. able -confusion, which was obviat:a by | General Land Office narrows the rights of placer iocators and jeopardizes the rights of many who have located lands contain- ing gypsum, limestone, borax, carbonste and nitrate of soda, sulphur, alum, marble, fire-clay, kaolin, iamond-pro- ducing lands, mica, iron where not found in rock in place, petroleum and other valuable deposits of similar nature. MRS. FAIRFIELD DIVORCED. Will She Now Wed the Hero of Her Bicyeling Romance ? The next time Annie Fairfield and Thomas J. Mitchell visit the City Hall it will probably be to procure a marriage license. A week ago Mitchell was present in Judge Daingerfield’s court to fight for f Mrs. Fairfield, who was named as co-respondent in a divorce suit filed by/ Mrs. Miichell. Yesterday Mrs. Fairfield appeared as plaintiff in a simi- lar suit brought against her husband. ° Mitchell did not oppose his wife’s efforts to free herself, nor did Fairfield object to his spouse securing a divorce; in fact, both seemed anxious that the de- crees should be made. 4 The-original cause of ‘the whole muddle seems to have been Fairfield’s lack of con- 1| sideration ‘for his wiie. Two yeafs ago, ‘I'she testified, they disagreed and have since lived apart, although under the s me roof. I Deprived of her husband’s company Mrs. Fairfield took up bicycling, and during Her excursions in the. park met Mitchell. who is also a devotee of the°silent steed. Their acquaintance developed into regard, and finally Mitchell, who looks consider- ably younger than his charmer, neglected his family for her. Mrs. Mitchell bezan suit for divorce, which action Mitchell helped along 1ather than opposed. On Mitchell gaining his freedom Mra. Fair- field at once sought hers. What the resalt will be remains to be seen, WHITEMAN 15 BELEASED The Alleged Forger Allowed to Go on His Own Recog- niza_nce. The Charge Against Him Will Prob- abiy Be Dismissed on Friday 2 Next. Alonzé J. Whitpman, who some time ago was Sentenced to ten years in State prison for fergery in connection with the Maxwell . swindle, and subsequently granted a new trial by the Supreme Court, was yesterday relcased on his own recog- nizance by Judge Wallace.. . Whiteman is the son of a wealthy Min- .nesota lumber merchant and was once Mayor of Duluth. He, however, squan- dered his fortune, and, becoming impoy- erished here in S8an Francisco, is alleged to have forged the name of a man named Dixon to a check for several hundred dol- lars, which check Le subsequently induced the insurance man to cash. The ex-Mayor was finally arrested on four charges of forgery, on one of which be was convicted. ‘The Supreme Court, however, decided that he was entitled to & new trial, on the ground that it had not been proven that any such-man as he whose name was signed to the check ex- isted, and, further, that if'he does exist, it was not proven that his name was signed by Whiteman without his permis- sion, - As Dixon is supposed to be in Chicago and cannot be induced to come here to tesiify, the prosecution feels that its case is almost a hopeless one. 5 Whiteman yesterday addressed the court in his own behalf. He claimed that he is the victim of police persecution, and that this new trial has’ been purposely de- layed by the authorities, “Although seven weeks has elapsed since the granting of the new trial,”’ said he, “no move has been mude to set I have here a letter from Carroll Cook, in which he says that he will ask the court, having been one of the attorneys for the prosecution, to dismiss the three untried charges and aliow me to be released on $500 bail on tbe other. I ask that your| Honor do this and that youn grant me an early trial.” Judge Wallace then allowed Whiteman to go on his own recognizance and post- oned further hearing of the matter until g‘ridny next. % L .

Conference of Commissioners, Chief of Police and the Grand Jury. MEASURES OF VIGILANCE. Members of the Jury Will Perform Active Service in the Field Next Tuesday. - - The Grand Jury, of which Frederick Hobbs is foremun, is not blowing a big trumpet, but one branch of its investiga- rion has rather surprised the -Election Commissioners. Perhaps the jury was secretly advised that some of the election officers recen:ily appointed were not re- sponsible and worthy, but whether so adyised of not a committee of the jury, assisted by the police, made inquiry con- cerning many of the 2000 officers constitut- ing the various precinct boards.. The investigation was quietly conducted. For example, 1f the list of the appointed officers gave the residence of John Blank, inspector, at a certain place designated by street, and number the policeman went there and reported if the person could be found. The facts were then reported to the Grand Jury. In one case it was found that a man who had been appointed was dead. In several other cases it was ascer- tained that the election officers did not live at the respective places of residence given. In two or three instances it was discovered that the men selected to judge and inspect the election were men of shady reputation. esterday the Grand Jury and the As- sistant District Attorney, r. Peixotto, examined the election laws and discussed the subject. Finallya committee of six jurors went out to summon the Election Commissiners. Surveyor Tilton, Auditor Broderick and City and County Attorney Creswell were found 1n the hall and imme- diately responded to the summons. The Mayor and Tax Collector were not found. Chief of Police Crowley was alse invited to attend the conference and accepted the invitdtion. _ The interchange of views in the jury- room_brouzht out the fact that the Com- missioners found it exceedingly difficu!t to obtain the services of capable citizens to perform election duties on the precinct boards. In some casesthe Commissioners had been obliged to appoint men who did not reside in the precincts to which they had been assizned. The Grand Jury decided to actthem- selves as general inspectors of ejection next Tuesday. With their. badees of authority as members of the Grand Jury they will visit the voting places and ob serve the manner of receiving and count- ing the ballots,” If anything crooked or suspicious comes under their observation <they will take steps according to their powers. . - Registrar Hinton was seen aftor the ad- journment of the Grand Jury. It was hi judgment that the election officers this year were above the average in point of worth and intelligence. He knew that in some precincts it was impossible to get residents to serve. He acknowledged that some.of the good men selected to serve had declined to Eerlorm «&he duty and therelore it would be necessary to fill quite a number of vacancies. P. A. Dolan and his attorney, Mr. Col- lins, went besore the Grand Jury and ex- plained certain things connected with the petition which Dolan circulated on behalf of the “'silver’and protection ticket.” John F. Sheeban presented to the Dis- trict Attorney a request that the persons who signed the election circular attacking Judge Heboardjshould be indicteu for-libel in another case. In that circular General Sheehan was mentioned as an “‘1rresponsi- ble man and a political parasite.” He doubted whether the indictment for libel on Hebbard included his own case.

Steamer after steamer has gone ashore on the coast of California, and the bones of many of them are now bleaching on the beach in Santa Barbara Channel or near to the entrance to Coos Bay. The Glenmerag is resting easily on the rocks near Astoria, and the Umatilla is now being got ready for a trip to San Francisco for repairs. Yesterday the Heury B. Hyde got in aiter a long passage from-New York. She experienced unusually heavy weather last Monday and in consequence lost her main topgaliant mast. The captain’s reportis as follows: . Had fine weather till October 27 and 28, in latitude 26.34 north, longitude 130 west. A sirong brecze of wind and heayy sea came up and carried away main topgallant masr, main topgallant yard, main royal yard, main sky- sail yard, fore skysail yard, mizzen skysail yard, mein topgaliant sail, main royal, main skysail, fore skysail and mizzen skysail. The damage was not suflicient to stay the ship, so the captain kept on his course and finally picked up a pilot. All's well that ends well, and the Hyde reached port with the loss of the main topgallant mast. The schooner Guide returned to port yesterday.' She left here on the 22d inst. for Port Ganible, but was caught in the southeaster, and lost <her foremast, fore- rigging, ioresail and jibboom. Captain Olsen decided that it was better to return to San Francisco, and did so. The Hyde and the Guide came in together yesterday, and the schooner with-her foremast gone and the ship with her main topgallant- mast gone made a significant picturé, The ship accepted a tow, but the master of the schooner made the best of the cir- cumstances and rigged temporary (ore[: or The Guide will at once be docked for repairs and another vessel will be sent to Puget Sound to bring down the load of lumber awaiting .the three-masted schooner.

On motion of counsel representing Theresa Oelrichs and Virginia Kair, the daughters of James G.
