CHAPMAN FOUND TWwWO CHEAP DELEGATES, Bome Christian Endeavor Politics That Furnished Much Fun at the Los Angeles Con- vention. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, June 80. The delegates from Alameda County | W who went to the State Christian Endea- | Ve convention at Los Angeles are re- | they tell with great pride of “‘did politics” In the southern city and succeeded In capturing the State | convention for Oakland In 1899. | The Alameda delegation staked its chances of success upon the probability | that Los Angeles would be suffering from | & hot wave at the time of her convention, The prognostication proved to be correct, for all the delegates in the City of the Angels sweltered from the time they ar- rived until they departed, with the excep- | tion of about half an hour one evening. It was during that half hour that Ala- meda won its fight. | Before leaving Oakland, at the Bugges- tlon of George P. Lowell, who reaped | his personal reward by being elected | State president of the society, a thousand 1 were acquired, upon which was nted, “Oakland wants the convention When the first breath of hot air swept over the convention hall Oakland de gates, headed by Dr. E.

While the dele-| fales were eating ice-cream and fanning hemselves with Oakland fans the Ala- meda delegation got in its deadly work. | While eating frozen cream and baving | the mosquitoes kept away by a friendly | fan it was absolutely impossible to de- cline a request to vote for the generous donors of both. One of the returning delegates draws a very graphic picture of Dr. Dille campaigning. The doctor started out from the jce-cream table with | half a dozen dishes of cream and as many fans, and when he returned for more he | reported that he had won six votes for | Oakland. Dr. Chapman, a veteran religious cam- paigner, did even better, for it is report- ed that he won two votes with the same dish of cream. Next morning the first ballot told the tale and next June hun- dreds of delegates will be welcomed at the State convention in this city. Will Teach at Cooper Medical College.

Preparations for the Fourth of: July are being rushed and-already the city has as- sgumed a brilliant appearance. Broadway | and Washington street are already-dec=} orated, and merchants are now busy with their store fronts, and many citizens are | also adorning their houses. It is probable that llze City Hall will | not be decorated, as thé Council has not | taken any action on the matter, and no | money fs therefore available for the job. The executive committee has sent an | invitation to Governor Budd and staff to attend the sham battle on the Fourth. Morro Castle on Adams Point and the monitor Greater Oakland are already in course of construction, and at the _en- trance to the ground where the sham battle is to take place a handsome arch | is being erected. P. J. Keller of Pledmont, of the Oakland Rough Riders, has re- ported that he would have 200 mounted | men in line, and his associates would ar- | range a camp of their own, where visitors will be entertained. The soldiers will lunch at noon, and none but the military will be permitted at the tables. Meat Ordinance Invalid. OAKLAND, June 30.—Frederick Becker, the wholesale and retail butcher, was re- leased to-day by Judge Ogden. Becker was arrested under the city ordinance rc- quiring meat to be inspected by a Govern- ment officer. Attorneys Eugene Garber and. Isaac Frohman appeared for Becker and argued that it is unconstitutional fox any authority but Congress to refiuhta the inspection of meat passing in inter- state .commerce.

HURT MOST FIGHT HARD His Ex-Wife Believes She Can Retain the Girls. STORY OF HER HUSBAND SCHAEFFER SAYS HE WAS NOT GUILTY OF STEALING. Willing That His Character and Abil- ity to Support His Family Should Be Thoroughly Examined. Oakland Office 8an Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, June 30. Joste, Fiva and Kitty Hurt, the three children of Joel J. Hurt, millionaire stock owner of Wyoming, will be brought into court to-morrow morning to have the question of their custody finally de- cided. They are now with their mother in the Chabot Home and in charge of a Deputy Sheriff. Many circumstances have come to light since yesterday which make it very plain that there will be an extraordinary fight for the three bright young girls. Al- phonso Schaeffer, who is married to their mother, the divorced wife of Hurt, says he 1is belng persecuted = for an alleged crime committed years ago, of which he ‘was not guilty. Schaeffer was employed on’ a-sheep ranch and was arrested for stealing sheep. =~ He was convicted and sentenced to six years in Joliet' prison. ‘At the expiration of a year and a half, he was pardoned. He says that in. Wy- oming there {8 always a conflict between sheep ranchers and cattle ranchers, owing to the fact that sheep spoil pastare lana for cattle. On one occasion someé: un= marked sheep were found in his posses- sion, and the tremendous.power of the cattle barons was brought to bear against him, with the result that he was:con- victed. He says the best evidence of his | Lnnov‘:ienca was the fact that he was par-| ?{l: declares that nothing can be proved | against his character, that he is a good husband and stepfather and has een: working at his trade of carpenter and earning sufficient to support the family. The little ones have grown to like him and he declares he will assist his wife in. retaining possession of them. Mrs. gchmfler says that Hurt's stories |-tle -Glen o‘g)ened this evening. of their pleasant life in Wyoming are lm‘iel] drawn from his imagination. She declares that their ranch was elghteen miles from any other house, and that her husband was frequently away for months at a time, and also that he placed young Millen, whom he afterward shot, on the ranch’ for the purpose of looking after it during his absence. She. repudi- ates all his charges and asserts that all she has done is to prevent her children being taken from her. The decree of di= vorce awards her the children and_its modification was made by the court with« out her knowledge and without the tak- lng of any testimony on her side, or these reasons- and for the furfher reason that a judgment in Wyoming is not binding in any othér State, the case will have to be fought out-entirely on its merits upon such testimony as can-be obtained from the witnesses "here and ossibly from depositions that.may -be aken in Wyoming. Judge Gibson is pre- paring to make a_very stubborn fight, and with Gavin. McNab and Milton. Green appearing for Hurt, an interesting con~ test 13 expected. Republican Club Meeting.

Alameda News Items. ALAMEDA, June 30.—Ergo Majors and P.. A. Reynolds, two Alameda youths, have just returned from a pedestrian trip to the Yosemite Valley and return. They were gone eighteen days, and * walked from Stockton, carrying their baggage on a burro. It took them six days each way, leaving six days for the valley. The Cooper Ornithological Club,” which will meet in this-city Saturday night, will devote its attention to the procurement of legislation for' the protection of bird life in this State. Mrs. G. W. Mastick has retired from the active presidency of the Red Cross So- clety and Mrs. F. Colburn is filling the position. A letter recelved in this city from the mounted police at Lake Bennett says that in order to secure direct transmission of mail matter to people in Alaska it should be sent in care of the mounted police at ‘Vancouver, by whom it will be forwarded to Lake Bénnett. So far very little mail has been received by people who:left here as long ago as the first of March. —_—— Balvationists in Camp.

One Wealthy Member Accepted a Commission in the Army and Left His Companions in the Lurch. At least a dozen”Klondike ventures are | tled up here for want of funds and the | utlook for any of them reaching the gold flelds this year Is not good. In some of the ventures the promoters had little | to lose, in others everything that the gold | hunters possessed in the world is tled up | 1 the scheme, In the latter category is the expedition | that was to have sailed on the schooner | Laura Madsen for St. Michael on May 15 o last. Over $40,000 has been sunk in that venture, and as the indebtedness of the party in this city is over $15,000 the chances of the vessel getting away are | very slim. In March last thirty-four business men and mechanics got together in Boston, Mass., and formed the Mutual Mining, Trading and Transpertation Company of Boston. Dr. W. 8. D. Hitchcock was elected president, Edgar Manks treasurer | and George Miles general manager. All the work was to be done by the members of the company and it was to be share and share alike. So far there has been nothing to share but hard luck. The first thing the new company aid | was to have bullt for use on the Yukon | & river steamer. This vessel 18 160 feet long, 40 feet broad, draws 2 feet when | loaded and is to carry 200 passengers. She was christened the Florence E. Miles. Then a complete sawmill and an electric light plant was purchased and everything | was shipped to 8an Francisco. There | were six carloads in all of things belong- ‘ ing to the Mutual Mining, Trading and | Transportation mpany that came here .sd when they were landed at the rail- road depot there was not a cent due on them. The next movement was the charter- | ing of the schooner Laura Madsen from Captain W. H. Madison. The vessel was docked at Lombard-street wharf and the men of the party went to work and put all their machinery and outfits aboard. | The next thing was the purchase of two years' supplies and the thousand and one things necessary for an extended stay in the arctic. Then came the first setback. The war | }:rv)ke out and onme of the party, whose ather was to put $10,000 into the scheme, recelved a commission in the army and is now with his company in Florida. The father refused to have anything to do with the Klondike scheme and the $10,000 on which the company was depending was not forthcoming. Then & committeo | was sent back East to raise funds, but | nobedy had any thoughts for the gold | ids and everybody was intent on buy- 1 war bonds and would have nothing to ‘o with the Alaskan venture. In conse- uence the Laura Madsen is tied up at 'nion-street wharf and no one knows | hen she will get away. In her hold there outfit vafled at $40,000, but on it San T sco merchants have a llen for sbout $17,000, and until that is paid the iembers of the Mutual Mining, Trading nd Tragsportation Company will remain in Ban Francisco. " The venture that was to get away on | the steamor Dirigo Is also detained by the want of money. When Bwiftwater Bil company chartered the Dirigo it an- nounced that the sternwheel steamer City of Dawson was to be towed upby the Di- rigo, and the passengers would be trans- ferred to her at Bt. Michael. The Dlfl{o and the passengers have been ready to sall for over a week, and every day the gold hunters have been told that a start would surely be made iaat night. The City of Dawson was not ready, however, and when she was at last in a condition that her engineer considered her seawor- thy, the trouble over the money an. H. Zadig claimed the vessel, and Birch & Co., the builders, refused to give her up, | sulted in some of the pits having to be | streng to support even the Claus Spreck- | els bullding. saying she had never been paid for. Then other creditors put in an appearance, and in their trail c v _Sheriff. Yes- terday Birch & Co. the Chie Wharfinger that they owned the steamer City of Dawson and were responsible for the wharfage. Shortly after that Zadig | sent a tug around to move the boat, but | Harrie C. Biggs, secretary of the Birch company, was on deck with a gun, and | defied anybody to put a _hawser aboard | the City of D: The Wharfinger al: ordered the tug y, and the matte ended there. The contending parties will | hold another conference this morning, and Mr. Kimball has some hopes of getting the Dirigo away to-night. In the mean- time the passengers are eating their hearts out on the wharf, ready to do al- most anything if they could only make a start for the land of gold. Captain Challeston of the barkentine Ruth has had an experience with green sailors that he never wants to repeat. The vessel was chartered by the Stand- ard Oil Company to carry kerosene to St. Michael, and a crew was procured from one of the bhoarding masters. All went well until the barkentine was on the bar, and then every man in the forecastle be- came fearfully eeasick. Captain Challes- ton thought this a strange sign, but said | nothing, thinking that all would be well | in an hour or so, when the men got their | sea legs. | This was last Wednesday, and as the Ruth got off shore it began to blow so | hard that it was necessary to shorten sail. The watch was ordered aloft, but not a man Jack of them knew the way. | The other watch was called, but they, if anything, knew less about & ship than the | men on duty. The captain was in de- spair. Sail had to be taken in, and how to | | do it was a conundrum. Finally he or- dered one of the greenhorns to the whee and he, the first and second mate and the | cook, went aloft to furl the sails neces- sary to put the barkentine under snug canvas. While they were aloft the green- horn at _the wheel let the vessel broach | to, and Captain Challeston is still wonder- ing how it was that the Ruth was not dis- | masted. Finally, however, the sail was | got in, and then the vessel was headed for San Francisco, where she arrived yes- | terday. A Sailors’ Union crew has now been put aboard, and the Ruth will make another start for St. Michael to-day. | The schooner Maxim was out in| Wednesday’'s blow with the Ruth. She carried away her foresall and jib, and put back to port for repairs. Sunday’s regatta promises to be a very exciting affair. Over twenty boatmen have entries in the whitehall race, and the finish will be Ve}r;ly close. Colonel T. Patriotic Robinson, H. Ryan, A. Lehrke, Commodore A. A. Borlini and Vice Com modore Fred Raabe, the regatta commit- tee, will leave Washington-street wharf | at 10:30 a. m., on the tug Rellance, and will proceed to Meiggs wharf, where the | races are to start from. According to them, the regatta is to be a brilliant suc-’ cess. | John Woodbridge, a recruit of the First | ‘Washington Infantry Regiment, fell from | a train early yesterday and dislocated | his right shoulder and hip and also had | his scalp torn. He was taken to the Har- | hor Receiving Hospital, where his condi- tion {8 considered serious. —_———————— THE NEW POSTOFFICE.

By Alice Rix In Next Sunday’s Call |MANY QUESTIONS OF LAW/ [FBARNES | COES T0 WAR Will He Still Hold His Municipal Office? MAY REST WITH THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. . A Puzzle of Legal Questions Which Is Exciting Considerable Con~ troversy About the City Hall. Now that District Attorney Barnes has accepted & commission as captain of Company C, Eighth Regiment, the matter has given rise to much spec- ulation as to whether he will still have the privilege of holding his of-| fice of District Attorney, or if it will be | necessary for him to vacate this to turn | soldier. The law on the matter is a very compli- cated one, and when City and County At torney Creswell was asked about the mat- ter yesterday he was unable to give an opinion, as questions of constitutional law | are involved which require hours of care- | ful study and research. “If,’ he says, ‘“the question were one of State or county appointments | the matter would simply resolve {tself into the question as to which body the appointment was subordinate to. One is a KFederal and the other a county ap- pointment, and as the duties of the two positions in no way conflict it brings about a complete change in the question. “Section 20, article 4, of the State con- stitution says: ‘No person holdlng any lu- crative office under the United States or any other power shall be eligible to any clvil office of profit under the State.’ This settles the question so far as any person holding a Federal office is concerned, but does not directly bear on a man holding a county office and about to accept a| Federal appointment. “The Political Code, however, seems to leave the whole matter in the hands of the Board of Supervisors. It provides that if an officer leave the State for a term exceeding sixty days his office shall be de- clared vacant and a successor appointed. In case of sickness, however, or an urgent call from the State the Supervisors have the power of granting such extension of time as they may see fit. Whether un- der the circumstances the salary would go on as usual is a question which, in all probability, would rest with the Super- visors, but as long as Mr. Barnes holds the office, whether he is engaged in the serformance of his duties or away on a eave of absence, he seems entitled to send in a bill for salary. “A case of this kind occurred in New York some years ago. The Assistant City | Recorder was elected to the State Legis- | lature, and as this kept him in Albany a | C Reynolds, great éxurllun of the time it was impos- sible for him to attend to his duties in New York City. When his term of office expired he sent in a full bill for services, | which the city government refused to pay | on the ground that he had failed to per- ! form the duties of his office, The matter was brought into the courts and he re- | celved a favorable decision, the Judge holding that, as his office had not been | declared vacant, he was entitled to re- muneration for the full term. This case seems parallel with that of Mr. Barnes, | {1 in case he should be called out of the | State for military duty and neither re- signed nor was ouste by the Supervis- ors.” - A fair construction of the section of the constitution above quoted, however, not- withstanding the observations of Mr. Creswell—which are not to be understood as expressing his opinion on the law of the matter—would seem to indicate that District A(mrner Barnes cannot hold the offices of captain and District Attorney at the same time. A commission_ in the army is a Federal office and Mr. Barnes’ resent office is a posifion under the statm District attorneys are county offi- cers, and are created by the county gov- ernment act, being purely a creation of the State. The moment, therefore, Mr. Barnes accepts the captaincy of Com- pany C the Board of Supervisors may de- clare his present office vacant and under the consolidation act or county govern- ment act appoint his successor. Both xhen statutes authorize them to make he appointment. x o An Unwarranted Arrest. . Hugh Friel, the boy who was arrested by Special Officer R. A. Sample on Mon- day evening on a charge of burglary, be- cause he had occasion to enter the old Enterprise foundry while on his way home from work, was discharged from custody by Judge Conlan yesterday. The Judge characterized the arrest as an out- rage, and advised the boy’s parents to take action to have Sample's star taken from him. —_————————— HAYNES’ BAG OF GOLD. Funds of the Murderer the Object of Much Litigation. The threads of litigation are tangling rapldly around the little bag of gold saved by the aged murderer, Theodore Park Haynes, after years of toil and self- denial. It is now in the hands of Chief of Police l.ees and he is holding on to it with almost childish stubbornness. Yes- terday the desire of the Chief received materfal support from the courts. A writ of injunction was issued by Judge Hunt at the instance of Edward W. Gunther, who has a claim of several hundred dol~ lars against J. N. E. iison, who has made a demand on Lees to turn _th money over to him, and in the writ Lees is enjoined from letting tne money leave his hands until the claims of unther have been adjudicated. The Chief will appear before Judge Hunt to-day and make a statement regarding his reasons for withholding the money from Wilson prior to the appearance of Gunther with a demand for a portion of the funds of the murderer. —————————— TUnknown Man Drowned. The body of an unknown man was found yesterday on the rocks under fhe Howard-street wharf and was taken to the Morgue. The deceased had been float- ing in the water not more than a day or two. He was between 55 and 60 years old, 5 feet § inches in height, large bald head, and white beard of about three days' | growth. His weight was about 160 pounds. | The clothing was a black sack suit, white shirt, black pants with black silk stripes, heavy boots rudely patched, as though by the deceased himself. ——————— Shot in the Hip. Louls Peterson, 1321% Kearny street, swore to a complaint in Judge Conlan's court yesterday for the arrest of Joseph Rosst on a charge of assault to murder. Peterson was passing Rossi's saloon, on Kearny street, on May 11, when he re- ceived a bullet in his hip, which Rossi had fired at a man with whom he had been quarreling. e ‘Wants Van Ness Avenue Opened. H. E. Law has filed a petition with the Board of Supervisors requesting them to pass to final pu-a;e a resolution opening Van Ness avenue from Bay street to the water's edge.

A sult filed in the United States Circult Court yesterday recalls a roseate mining | enterprise that came to grief on the yel- low waters of the Sacramento River three years ago. In November, 1895, the newspapers were full of mysterious hints of wonderfully rich deposits of coarse and scale gold in the bed of the Sacra-| mento, and Intimations that some Inventive genius had perfected a | new process whereby this wealth could be easily and cheaply taken out with a dredger. Among e several companies formed for this purpose and receiving pat- ents for placer claims in the bed of the Bacramento and the American River, near the town of Folsom, was one with the at- tractive name of the Golden Sand Placer Mining Company. y The company incorporated, with a capi- tal stock of $1,000,000, divided into shares of $10 each—a specles of popular loan to be repald with interest a hundred fold; that is, of course, after deducting what- ever damages might accrue, in case the welght of the gold should sink the valu- able dredger. The enterprise on its face was plausible, and there was no reason for elieving that it could be otherwise than profitable, for it was known to the world that the old bed of the American River was full of gold, that it I’ie\ded millions in gold from the days of '49 up to the present time, and that the old ground was still being worked at a profit. It was, there- fore, natural to infer that considerahle of the gold that came down the American River must have been wgshed down as far as the confluence of that river with the Sacramento, The Golden Sand Placer Mining Com- pany went to work, and after a brief sea- son of dredging found that there was no gold in the bed of the Sacramento, and not even under the bed. The company thereupon dissolved and abandoned the search for virgin treasure. But an ex- ensive lawsuit remained behind for the rectors to wrestle with. Among the em- Elcyal of the comg&ny was Frederick all, a subject of the kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. He left the service of the company, or was discharged, and shortlv afterward began a suit in the Su- perior Court, accusing the directors of violating the Penal Code by failing to file a statement of receipts, disbursements and other proceedings for the benefit of the shareholders. Ball won the case and obtained a judgment for $1000. Yesterday Charles H. Jackson, James B on and 8. T. Hubbell flled a suit fl equity against Frederick Ball and J. . Lewis and 1. F. Chapman, the latter two being assignees of Ball, asking for an injunction to restrain the defendants from the collecting the judgment of $1000. The complaint sets forth that the cor- poration did not do any mining and never owned any mining property, and that after fall to find the color in the ‘waters of the Sacramento the corporation went out of existence. It alleges also that the suit was brought by Ball from motives of mvuatr. for having been dis- charged from e service of the com- pany. In the Divorce Courts, Mary L. Vorhes was granted a dlvorce from Fred C. Vorhes yesterday on thc greund of willful negiect. Elizabeth ‘Burkhardt has applied for a divorce from George F. Burkhardt, alleging extreme cruelty as a cause of complaint. Mary Hayden has asked for a divoree from her husband, James Hayden, and as a cause of action Mrs. Hayden alleges desertion. Borenson was granted a divorce from Sorenson for desertion. The en name, “McDanfels: . Lilllan E. Ratten- berry was granted a -divorce from Wil- liam A. Rattenberry on the grounds of cruelty and neglect. = Eugenia Lozeoho was granted her application for divorce from Eugene Lozeoho and was allowed to resume her maiden name. Frank Col- brandt was granted a divorce from his wife, Jessle Colbrandt, on the ground of desertion. Decrees of divor were also granted the following litigants: J, C. Mi- noc from Elizabeth Minoc, for desertion; Ernest H. Cole from Edith | W. Cole, for | WEEK DA’ 8:30, willful desertion; Leon Andre from Mary | T. Andre, for desertion, and Susan M.

OAKLAND, June 30.—James Kelly was brought to the City Prison to-night by Officer Hynes and booked for assault with intent to commit murder. Kelly was a passenger on the 7 o'clock broad-gauge train. Captain Anderson, foreman of the Pacific Mail docks, was also a passenger. Soon after the train started for Oakland Kelly walked up to where Captain An- | derson was seated and thrusting a re- volver in his face declared he was goin to kill him. Captain Anderson gras § Kelly and succeeded In disarming h?m, and turned him over to an officer. When locked up Kelly claimed to have been drinking heavily for some time. He said he had lost all his money at the coursing parks, and while admitting he knew Cap- tain Anderson by sight, pretended to know nothing of his attempt to shoot him. Kelly said his wife had left him on ac- count of his drinking habits, and that he was fespondent. He gave his occupation as clerk for the Oregon Improvement Company, and residence, Berkeley. e There are nearly 35000 gypsies in | England. ADVERTISEMENTS. Faith .S (ood. Science is better.
