No one sug- gested that any one gould be blamed for the death of the men. The experience 'of J. a. Sandell was un- common. He was working about six feet from the filter when the second explosion occurred, and he did not hear it. “I saw a tongue of flame,” saiu Sandell, “about six feet from me. I did not hear the ex- plosion, but I was knocked down, and when I got up I saw that some of the men who had been near me were killed and others were injured. The flash came from a tank. I cannot give any reason for the explosion, but I am satisfled that it was the best thing to do to clear away the debris.” Then came-old John McLain, who has been In all the explosions for twenty-four years and come out of all unscathed.

NORWOOD JONES CHARGES BLACKMAIL SR iiay AVERS THAT FRANCOEUR IS GUILTY OF EXTORTION. He Does Not Deny Complicity as to Annie Johnson’s Death, but Makes Grave Charges. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 3 908 Broadway, July 80. E. Norwood Jones, who is being sued for a divorce by Gertrude K. Jones, with whom.he is sued on a note for $500, to-day filed answer to the charge placed against him. While he does not deny his assocla- tion with the Annie Johnson scandal, he alleges that he is the victim of blackmail. Jones, who s in the East, and who only through the shrewdest detective work was served with a summons, tells his story as follows: He avers that he has at all times lived in utter hapglness with his_wife; that from September 1, 18%, to November of the same year, Annie Johnson lived at the home of Mrs. Jones, and that in Decem- ber of the s“melymr the woman became ill, and in the January following died from a criminal operation. At that time, Jones alleges, some relatives of Annie Johnson approached him, claiming that they had evidence which would tend to convict him and an associate of complicity in her death, and that thereupon his as- sociate, in order to suppress the alleged evidence and to protect himself from the scandal and possible prosecution - ployed Attorney Francoeur for ! This money was subsequently paid with $150 be- sides. Jones then charges Francoeur wi: grave crime. He alleges that on Mt:y i 1897, the plaint!ff demanded of him 5& more for his services; Jomes refused to pay it and then the attorney threatened the defendant and his assoclate that if the extra $500 Were not pald or secured by a note signed by defendant and wife he would bring suit and expose to the public all the allefied evidence in reference to Jones' knowledge of the death of Annie Johnson. It was impelled by this threat (h:tn, Jones clatms, he signed the second note. ————— Death of Leonard Kennedy.

'A POLITICAL COMPLICATION IN OAKLAND Buckley-Maguir es to Take Part in the Republican Pri- maries. Hilborn Finds That Metcalf Has Been Doing Some Practical and Successful Politics. OARLAND, July 80.—The Democrats of Alameda County have aroused themselves | from their lethargy, and to-day Chair- man Con Brosnahan called a meeting of the County Committee for next Tuesday night at R. F. Fitzgerald's office, for the purpose of issuing a call for a primary to elect delegates to the State convention. The members of the committee are un- decided whether to hold an open primary or elect delegates at club meetings. On account of the shortness of the time be- fore the convention meets, in addition to a marked apathy on the part of the Ala- | meda Democracy toward using their time and money to journey to Sacramento for the purpose of ratifying the nomination | of the “Little Spotted Glant,” the club system will be probably adopted. | The primary will be held either next | Saturday or a week from Tuesday, most | likely on Saturday, the county being en- titled to forty-three delegates under the apportionment of the State Central Com- mittee, | The Democrats, just now, are more in-| terested in the antics of Pardee than they | are in_thelr own misfortunes. For the | sake of diversion, a number of them have | contributed to the gayety of the cam-| paign by “boosting” the doctor's fight, and they say ‘“‘there are others.” hey make no concealment of their expectation of heavy reinforcements of Buckley-Ma- gulre heelers from the other side of the ay to participate in the Republican primaries, and they grin as they talk of | the lesson in practical politics the Buck- ley-Maguire “push” will give the Davis | crowd. That Pardee’s intimates are fully cofi- nizant of the contemplated invasion Is all too apparent. Buckley's gang doesn’t dip into Republican factional fights just for the health of the members. They make their llving by the stuffing of prim- aries and such work—and Pardee has money enough to fill a cistern. These stories are very disquletlni to the Davis crowd, but tMey are taking such steps as they can to head off the raid, though they acknowledge that a combination of Buckley and Pardee is flicult to overcome. However, they are perfecting their organizations in every ward, and besides are paying particular attention to the outside townships, while s0 far Pardee’s energies have been con- centrated on the capture of Oakland. ‘While busied with their own affairs and watching the movements of each other, both Pardee and Davis were thrown into 2 nervous chill during the week by the mention of M. M. Estee’s name as a gu- bernatorial candidate. Although the friends of the rivals endeavored to con- vince them Yhat the mention of Mr. Es- tee was a mere formality that must be gone through in every campaign, the pos- sibility of still further complications to the already badly mixed situation was enough to cause the two Alameda aspi- rants extreme mental depression for the me. The Populists—that {s the members of the People's Party who refused to be swallowed by the fusion anaconda—appear to be quite determined to make a vigor- The county will be thoroughly organized and clubs formed in every ward and township. The Popu- lists will put a full county”ticket {n the | field and declare they will prove them- selves a large and sharp thorn in the sides of the other fellows. Congressman Hilborn has taken a care- ful survey of the fleld since his return from Washington, and as a result is forced to admit that Vietor Metcalf has stolen a march on him during his absence. Hilborn finds his own forces in this coun- ty somewhat disorganized, while Metcalf's friends, by their system of house meet- ings, have made big progress toward per- fecting a systematic campaign for the Congressional nomination, oreover, Hil- born finds_that in rewarding his political manager, W. H. Friend, with an Qakland fiustmastershlp, he badly handicapped imself, for ~since his appointment Friend’s hands have been tled by the ‘‘offensive partisan’ law, while Metcalf's friends have been free to take advantage of every opportunity. The action of the County Committee Thursday, in keeping the State and Con- gressional primaries separate, was In ac- cordance with Metcaii s wishes and di- rectly opgos(te to Hilborn's ideas. From the time he decided to enter the Congres- sional fight Metcalf almed to have that kept entirely distinct from the other pri- maries and convenlons. When Hilborn returned he decided that his interests would be advanced by joint primaries, but he was too late to offset the work done by Metcalf. Vhen Hilborn took his first stroll down Broadway after his return from Wash- ington he dropped into Nat Rosenberg's stand and lald down a quarter, naming his brand. As he did so he remarked: ““Well, Nat, how's the Congressional fight going?"” “‘Oh, we've decided to send Mr. Met- calf back next term,” replied the cigar dealer. “You don’t mean to say that my friends have gone back on me?”’ anxiously in- quired the statesman. “Not gone back on you exactly, but they’ve sort of made up their minds that as long as Metcalf has made up his mind that he wants it, it would be a nice thing to_let him have {t.”” Hilborn left the cigar stand pondering over the Ingratitude of a trusted con- stituency, but he is not discouraged He has set to work with a grim determina- tion to win out, paying particular atten- tion to the up counties, where he claims to be strong enough to more than offset Metcalf’s vote in this county. ‘Alex. Rosborough returned from the Klondike to-day, to the surprise and de- iight of his friends. Alex. says it is all very nice to sweep up gold in the Arctic but he knew Alameda County could no get alol without him this fall. Of Eourse, Alex. will be flven the nomina tion for some county office on the Demo- cratic ticket, but which is yet to be de- cided upon. It is probable, however, that the County Clerkship will just about fit his ideas of the comforts of life, and if | it does he will give his opponent, who- ever he may be, a hard run for his money, | for Alex. can have almost anything he wants here. Rosborough is the second Klondiker to return in time to mix up in the political broil. “Jim” Stanley, the Mission San Jose blacksmith, got back two weeks a%;x and already has thrown himself into the thick of the fight for Equalizer against Morehouse. Stanley is immensely pop- ular throughout the county, as evidenced by his election as Public Administrator for four successive terms, refusing a renomination for the fifth term two years ago. %(nnl!‘)fl though a faithful officer, is not much of an orator, but his friends will use with good effect the only two speeches he ever made. The first was delivered ten years ago upon the occasion of his first nomination for Public Administra- tor. “Gentlemen,” said Jim, “I'm no speech-maker, but I want to say this. I have an idea that nolding an office is easier than hammering iron, and I am anxious to see if my idea is correct.” The second speech was delivered two years later upon his renomination. It was this: “Gentlemen, two years ago T had an idea that holding office was easier than hammering iron, and I wanted to see if I was right. I have tried it and have found to my entire satisfaction that hold- ing office i much more congenial to me.” W0 IDEAS 0N ONE POINT Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 30. Superior Judges Greene and Hall are at loggerheads on the question as to whether petitions for involuntary insol- vency can be filed within four months of the passage of the national bankrupt act, which went into effect on the 1st inst. Judge Greene has refused to recog- nize any petitions in Insolvency which are affected by the national law, holding that the latter law abrogates the State law. The pational act provides that no voluntary insolvency petition suall be flled within one month of its passage, and no involuntary insolvency within four months. 1In this respect Judge Greene holds the same opinion, and in- terprets the Federal law as does Judge Belcher of San Francisco and Judge W. M. Conley of Fresno. Judge Hall, on the other hand, holds that a man cannot be deprived of the right of going thrbugh insolvency, and he has accordingly allowed numerous peti- tions of involuntary insolvency to be filed, to wit: Those in the matters of F. J. Marshall, F. B. Freeman, J. W. Maca: George Wittmeier, Pete Butt, F. B. Pot- ter and others, all insolvent debtors. Yet the national act Is reflly in favor of the debtors and does not allow a creditor to force a debtor through insolvency with- in four months of its passage. The, courts will resume business next Monday, after the regular six weeks' va- catfon, and it is quite likel that this question wii then be monmg%ly dlscussed | and adjudicated. Judge Hall appears to be in grave doubts | brem- | ises, although he himself is not abso{utelyi satisfled that he is correct in his inter- | as to Judge Greene's tenets in the pretation of the national bankrupt act. I have permitted parties to file such petitions in Insnl\'encr"' sald Judge Hall to-day, when jhis attitude in the matter was asked for, “but I have also been warning them that there Is some doubt as to their rights in thus filing the papers, The matter has really never% here, only ex parte.” Conslderable surprise 1s of course ex- pressed that the youngest Superior Judge should differ with Judge Greene, who has the distinction of having dealt out law for the past twenty vears or more. —_—— JAMES McCLELLAND'S DEATH. | The Summons Came After a Very Brief Attack of Heart Fail- ure at Midnight. OAKLAND, July S80.—James McClel- land, for a number of years prominent in the employ of the Southern Pacific Com- pany and an active worker In Republi- can political ecircles, aled suddenly at his home, 1713 Eighth street, at 12:30 o’clock this morning. He had been ill only one day, and death was due to heart failure. Deceased was a natlve of Philadelphia, Pa., aged 42 years, and leaves a widow without children, and two sisters, Mrs, F. L. Lewis and Mrs. Charles Maxwell of Philadelphia. Mr. McClelland came to California nine years ago, and for several vears there- after held a clerkship in ine department under Master Mechanic McKenzie of the Southern Pacific Compn.n{ and his rapld acquaintance soon brought him into prom- inence as a politiclan. He came from a distinguished family. His father was the well known Fleet Surgeon McClelland of the United States navy under Admiral Goldshorough. The funeral will take place Monday aft- ernoon at 2 o'clock from his late resi- ence. Mr. McClelland carrled a lafge life insurance, and this leaves his widow well provided for. ADVERTISEMENTS.

Ludwig Streuber Wins an Appeal to the Supreme Court and Will Be Tried Again. OAKLAND, July 30.—Ludwig A. Streu- ber, who was sent to Folsom Prison from here by Superfor Judge Greene on con- viction of permitting his voung wife to re- main in a house of doubtful character, has been granted a new trial. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court on error of the Judge's Instructions. Judge Greene had instructed the jury in the case that “it Is not incumbent upon de- fendant to prove his innocence, nor Is it incumbent on him to explain suspi degree to establish his guilt.” The Su- preme Court holds that this instruction did not contain a satisfactory statement of the law. The judgment and order of the lower court were reversed and the cause has been remanded for a new trial. Alameda County Schools.
