He says in repiy te questions from a reporter: ? “I left Cooks Inlet justa vear ago last month to see what I could find in the in- | terior.

BROWN'S FRIENDY NOW AT WORK Another Man From Alameda County Named for Governor. Pardee’'s Stalwarts Deny That He Promised to Draw Out. Other Men Would Like to Run for State Offices and This Mixes Matters, 0OaxLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALy, 908 Broad way, Sept. 2. } It is very evident that there will have to be numberless hatchets buried and many personal ambitions sacrificed if Ala- meda County is to secure the nomination of the next Republican candidate for Gov- ernor. Since a few friends got together about a mounth ago and agreed to give out the name of W. R. Davis, as much by way of experiment as anyvthing else, several other names have been mentioned. The latest boomiet to be heard from comes from Haywards and is in favor of *‘a Haywards boy'’ known a: Lou Brown, Secretary of State. Mr. Brown was brought up in Haywards, and his father is still engaged in business there. In some way or other it became known that Secretary of State Brown would not ob- ject to running for Governor if he could be sare of the nomination, and on this as- sumption his frignds are canvassing the interior of the county in his behalt. This adds another complication to the many already existing in this county. It is acknowledgea on all hands thatno man need aspirs to the gubernalorial nomina- tion unless he can go into the convention with a unanimous deiegation from his own county. Yet, since the claim was made that Alameda County deserves the honor of giving the State its nex: Gov- ernor, all sorts of projects have been floated to prevent the necessary unan- imity. A few daysago it was stated that George Pardee had promised W. W. Knicker- bocker, on behalf of W. K. Davis, that he would ao nothing that would tend to pre- vent Mr. Davis receiving the nomination. | But this statement was positively denied | to-day by one of Dr. Pardee's stanchest adherents. It 1s said tuat Dr. Pardee placed the ssme proviso upon_ anything that might be done that Mr. Davis did, viz.: thatit must be shown that the man chosen must be able to carry with him the unanimous support of the county, Since Mr. Davis’ boom was announced George Pardee has been exploited, and now Lou H. Brown’s friends are attempt- ing to show thar he is the strongest man of the three. But there is still another element tending to prevent harmony and which protably instigates those who are not anxious (o see unanimity regarding the guternatorial nomination. This ele- ment consists of the personal ambitions of other Alameda County politicians who would like to be nominated for offices less important than that of Governor. Everybody realizes that Alameda County is entitled to nt least one office in the next State administration, and many selfish ones declare that it would be easier to carry a solid delegation for a cutionist, was fully enjoyed. He was as- sisted by Mrs, Aflarayce, contralto, and Miss Denke, soprano. The lunch at noon to-day was liberally patronized. This one of the pleasantest features of the af- | tair. To-morrow night Mexico will reign supreme, There wil! be Mexican music, Mexican dances and Mexican refresh- ments. Notes.

WANTS TH& TIDAL OANAL. San Leandro Holds a Meoting and Will Give All the Aid Possible. ALAMEDA, CAL., Sept. 2.—A meeting of the Board of Trade of San Leandro was beld last evening, which was attended by a delegation from Alameaa. The object ol the meeting was to discuss the tidal canal matter and endeavor to decide upon sume combined plan of action looking towsrd the completion of that much neeied work. Colouel Hastings, City Clerk Lamborn, J. R. Sloan, president of the North Side Improvement Club, and A. Grossman spoke in favor of the project. Mr. Lamborn showed that the comple- tion of the canal would give San Leandro four miles more of water front and be in- | valuable for manufacturing purposes. Colonel Lyman Bridges did not approve of the t dal canal, but wanted San Leandro 1o have a canal of ber own. It was ack- nowledged that this would cost a vast amount of money, and that there was no likelibood that the Government would make the aj propriation, and the project was not favored. Afier a ganeral discussion of the matter a committee of five was authorized to confer with a similar com- mittee from Alamed — SHE TALKS OF BRIBERY. A lady Land-Owner Asks the Council to Investigate. OAKLAND, Can 2.—Miss Sulli- van ot 571 Thir.y grave charge against an offictal at the City Hall, though itis not yet clear to whom her charges refer. Miss Sullivan is a property-owner on_Thirty-sixth street, and she has declared to the Council that a permit to connect witii a sewer was irreg- ularly issued from the Board of Works on the payment of money. : “I bave it on good authority,” she said to the city officials, “'that some one in the City Hall was given the sumof $35in order that the permit might be issed by the secretary of the Board of Works. Ido not care to give my authority, but will aid the Ceuneil 1n its investigation next Tuesday | night.”” | Thirty-sixth-street sewer has been a bone of contention for many years. Tue street was the old city boundary line pricr to the recent annexation and the sewer was entirely paid for by residents on the south side of the sireet, who alone had the right to connect with the city’s main sew- erage system, On different occasions the City Council and the Board of Works have gtanted permission to the prop- | erty-owners on the north side of the sewer to make connections, but the owners on the south side have made objections, | which 1t is contended are quite legal. Recently a permit was issued by the Boarc of Works to connect the sewer from the north side, aud a contractor named Becket, ascording to Miss Bullivan’s story, told the owners that he would have the sewer connections made withcut any trouble and would assume any respon- siblity incurred. Assistant Banitary Inspector Perlim, who issued the permit from the Health Office, says the cost of the workisonly $20, so that 1t would be absurd to pay $35 ior permission to do it. Theindignant property-owners, however, say that with. out sewer connection it wou!d be useless to build on the north side of the street, ana that the sum mentioned isa very small amount when it 18 considered that it makes a large investment both possible and profitable. ROW OVER BLOODHOUNDS A Breeder Is Arrested Because His Neighbor Objects to Them. A Threatening Note and a Fire in a Basement Found by the Dog: Man, OARLAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 2. | E. S. Lund caused the arrest of A, E. Culver to-day for maintaining a nuisance, A. E. Culver is known all over the State as a breeder of man-tracking bloodhounds. He is said 1o have a monopoly of the busi- ness in California. His neighbor is E. S. Lund, who has on many occasions ob- jected 1o the presence of the dogs, but has not induced Culver to move. Last Sunday Culver wentinto his yard and on one of the kennels he saw a note. It commended that “'to be forewarned is to be forearmed,” and continued to state thatit would be well for the boys to be warned. Culver paid no atiention to the note, and next day he was surprised to find smoke issuing irom his basement, He investigated and found some of the woodwork on fire. He quickly put it out and found that there was coal oil liberaliy | poured on the rafters. He was unable to tind any clew that might lead to the per- petrator of the deed. To-day Culver was arrested on a_war- rant because he keeps dogs which Lund swears are a nuisance. The house he lives in was formerly owned by Lund,who lost it by foreclosure proceedings. Culver bas retained Attorneys Crowell and Leach to attend 1o his case, and promises some interesting testimony. e — QUEER DOM:STIO RELATIONS Apply for a Diverce, but Continue to Live Together, OAKLAND, CaL., Sept. 2—Kate Lehn is suing her husband for divorce, and to- day her applcation for alimony was beard.

Says She Is the Victim of a Man Who Has Now Sought Cover, | Judge G@reene and Oregon Sanders Fall Out on Many Points OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broad way, Sept. 2. Mrs. McLellan, the woman burglar, and | her attorneys are striving hard to prove | the truth of her story that she was the victim of a designing man, and that she is morally innocent of the robbery with which she is charged. The prisoner says that the packages which were found in her possession were given to her by a man named Silveria, and that she does not know where they came from. This statement on her part brought up the proposition of her ac- quaintanceship with Silveria, and made it evident that Mrs. McLellan has a great deal to explain before her innocence is ultimately proven. | I'his aiternoon a statement obtained | from the woman in jail was ruled out by Judge Greene because it was clearly shown thatit was tecured under threats de by the husband, and under a prom- ise made by an officer that it would be bet- ter for her to make such statement. The introduction of this document led to a lively argument between Judge Greene and Mrs. McLellan’s attorney. Sheis being defended by Oregon Sanders, the well-known labor orator, and in con- ducting his case he does not show any | desire to cringe before the rules of the Superior Court. This afterncon Judge Greene informed him that he must pro- ceed according to the rulings of court or | else take the consequence. Mr. Banders | readily replied that he did not presume | that the court was not amenable to argu- ment or intended that he should not do bis whole duty by his client. The court admonished the attorney, and said that if | he were seeking trouble it would be | speedily forthcomine. In the cross-examining one of the offi- cers who bad testified regarding the mate- | rial found in - Mrs. McLellan’s house and | which bears the name of Dias,whose house was robbed, Attorney Sanders held up a tablecloth which was full of holes and with a dramatic gesture asked the witness if he thought any woman would commit burglary for such spoils? The question was promptly objected to and the inspect- ing of the linen was postponed. Mrs. McLelian was on the witness-stand this alternoon, and she told a very plausi- ble story of her doings the night on which the purglary was committed. She gavea | complete explanation of the circumstances | attending the coming of the property into her hands and of the disapperance of the man whom she said gave it to her. i Her story was not completed when ' court adjourned, but she will certainiy be | submitted to a very severe cross-exan | ation as much of her testimony was in direct conflict with that of several of the | witnesses.

The shortage of men 1s regarded as a serious matter in contemplation of the freshman games with Stanford and unless more turn out, or the five men who were dropped are reinstated, there is a likeli- nood that there will be no inter-coliegiate freshman meet, for it isrezarded as useless to attempt to select a capable team of aleven from a list of only twelve.
