THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1898 T BARLEY GOES DOWN Another Day of Wild Excitement on ’Change. and that it will be necessary to import a great deal more. He said: ‘“We are buying a great deal of hay from Da- kota, Oregon, Utah and Washington, owing to shortages in Contra Costa, Sonoma, Solano and other bay coun- ties of the State. We are buying al- falfa, timothy and prairie hays. The crop in the principal counties of the State is short at least a third.” SHORTS ON BARLEY. v Rumors That Prominent Deal- ers Are Trying to Over- load the Market. There were rumors on 'Change yester- day afternoon that Henry J. Crocker and some members of the Paclfic Union Club were very short on wheat, and that their shortage on barley was much greater, for which reason some of the brokers thought there 4 movement to unload barley and unload their shorts. There was also some thought that the directors were doing all in their power to | help out the shorts, by making a_ma | ginal price of $1 & on wheat, which | held by many to be too low.

A bold attempt was made to burglarize | the house of a vegetable gardener named Varney on the Ingleside road yesterday afternoon. About 4 o'clock two men er tered the premises and offered Mrs. Var- ney a ring for sale. While she was ex- amining the piece of jewelry she noticed | three men sneaking behind the house. She kept a close eye on tneir movements | and saw that they were determined to er ter without letting her see them.

The otuer WILL NOT CONSOLIDATE A Fruitless Meeting the Two Baseball Factions. of President Bert Refused Accede to Jake Rauer’s Propositions. to Both Leagues Will Renew Hostili- With Unabated Vigor. | | | | | | | ties | | Two hours of fruitless debate was had last evening by the managers of the Cal- | ifornia and Pacitic States Leagues, for the purpose of consolidation, but, as nei- ther side would accede to the propositions | of the other, the proposed deal has been declared off. President Bert of the Pacific States League strongly urged that the managers | of the three San Francisco clubs of their | league consolidate with the management | of Oakland, San Francisco and Stockton | teams of the California League. They wanted to ignore the California League team at Sacramento for their club and to | place Santa Cruz instead or Fresno, none | }or which the California League would | | agree to. | The California Baseball League agreed | to consolidate with the Pacific States | League only on one condition— that the new league should consist of the Sacra- | mento, Stockton, Oakiand, San kran-| cisco and Fresno clubs of the California | League upder their present management; | that the two San Jose clubs should be | consolidated under the direction of 5. N. Rucker; that the new organization should take up the National League . protection now held by the California League; that Eugene A. Bert should . be president. of | the new league; H. H. McPike, president of the Califorma League, should be vice- president; Charles E. Wiggin of the Cali- | fornia_ League, secret and . | Bonnet, v wrer of the 'Pacific States ‘Lcague, treasurer, and all games should | be played with the Nationai League ball | and under National League rules. | /5, this did not meet with the approval of the Pacific States contingent, 1t was agreed to disagree, and both leagues will £0 on in the even tenor of their ways. At the meeting t night J.'J. Rauer for the California League Said: » Mr. Bert met me on Market street and sug- gested that two leagues would not be profit- able if they continued this fight, and that the Lall players would try to pull my leg and his for higher salaries. Well, [ said, my theory is that it would be a good plan 'to consolidate and hav eague, as it would be profitable to the ow and players themselves. I then asked Mr. Ewing whether that would be agree- | able, and he said if the clubs could come to- | gether and harmoniz uld be a good plan. McNeil sent for me last Sunday, and on my rival at his house I found Mr. Bert. and we ussed the whole matter. Mr. Bert and agreed to taKe charge of all these parks ition that Mr. Bunker and Mr. Ewing were cared for. This was agreed to, but [ did not learn until to- ht that what they meant by caring for M Bunker and Mr. Ewing was to put Mr. Crowley with Mr. Bunker, and that Mr. Coffroth, as fhanager for Mr. Bushnell, was to be associated with Mr. Ewing as managers of the Oakland team.

False Registration of Voters. Will Correct Pending Evils if Aided by Election Com- missioners, Many Changes Made for the Con- venience of the General Public. The Registrar's office of the City and ‘rancisco has been thor- ou~hly renovated, and now assumes the aspect of a respectable business office. | The old and unsightly structure, which formerly occupied the center of the office, has been removed, and a disposi- tion of the different desks has been made which it is expected will materi- ally facilitate the work of the office and afford greater convenience to per- sons desiring to register. An entirely new and radical change | has been inaugurated in the system of conducting registration, by which the Registrar hopes to make illegal regis- | tration not only difficult, but in every way reasonable of detection. Registrar Biggy says that under the system, in vogue in the office for many vears, it was possible for a person to register with each of the several pre- cinet clerks in the office, thus affording an opportunity for fraudulent registra- tlon of the most alarming magnitude. The registration being made by differ ent clerks was not easily detected by the force in the office. By the new system, recently adopted, all persons applying for registration are compelled to pass the careful scru- tiny of at least three clerks; one taking the voter’s measure, nfinmher taking his address, and the thirl fixing the pres cinct in which the voter belongs, be- fore receiving his certificate. As all of the work of the three clerks is done »i- | | multaneously the registration is made with remarkable rapidity. The Registrar expects by the new methods which he has already put in operation to frustrate any attempt 1o register illegally in his office. Another important feature to which Mr. Biggy called attention. is the char- acter. of the clerks under whose direct | supervision an applicant for registra- | tion must in all cases come. They have been selected for their special adapta- | bility for the respective positions the, occupy. One of the greatest faults found by the Registrar is in the manner of ap- pointing men on the precinct boards. This is done by the Election Commis- sioners, usually at the solicitation of political friends, belonging to the dif- ferent political parties and by politi cians representing certaln factions therein, thus forcing upon the Registrar men of unknown capability and at the same time making him responsible tor their acts. The appointment of men by the Elec- tion Commissioners for the purpose of | detecting fraud;ilent registration in the different precincts it is claimed by the | SPORTED THE ‘BURNT CORK Society Young Ladies Appear as Black-Faced Come- dians. A Splendid Entertainment Given by Golden West Booth of St. Patrick’s Bazaar. Young ladies can don the burnt cork, the gaudy raiment and the fuzzy wig typ- ical of the ‘“‘days befo’ de wah,” and sing, laugh, crack jokes, rattle the bones and tambos just as well as the members of the sterner sex. This fact was clearly demonstrated at the ladies’ minstrel en- tertainment given by the members of Gol- den West Booth in Native Sons’ Hall last night for the benefit of St. Patrick’s ba- zaar. | When the curtain rose the house was | crowded, in fact, many persons in the rear of the hall had been shifting uneasily from one foot to another waiting anx- | lously for the show to begin and envying | | their more fortunate fellow-beings who | | had come early enough to secure seats. The scene on the stage, while made | up wholly of gaudy colors, was so harmo- | niously blended as to be most pleasing to | the eye. There was a bewildering array | | of scarlet coats and waistcoats against a | dark green background of palms and | | ferns framed in by smiling faces—smiling and pretty, even though they were black- ened and polished till they rivaled ebony and disfigured by abnormally large paint- | ed red mouths. There was a clash from | tambourines and cymbals. a murmur of delighted applause from the audience, and the show began. Of course, as in all good minstrel shows, | music held sway.
