4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1898. "0LD KAINTUCK" SURPRISES THEM Kimble the Two - Mile Champion. INDIANAPOLIS WHEEL RACES ANNUAL GATHERING OF THE LEAGUE. One of the Features of the Day’s Events a Race Between a Tan- dem, Three Triplets and* Three Quads. Special Dispatch to The Call, INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10.—The attend- mnce at the '98 L. A. W. meet is not large, but those here are enjoying themselves. Up to 6 o'clock this evening 2612 league “‘men had registered at headquarters. To-night a minstrel show was given at English’s Opera-house for the wheelmen and their ladies, and an all-night smoker, with vaudeville programme, is on at the park. The Ploneers’ banquet occurred at the Grand Hotel to-night. Broken records, two in number, and surprises In every contest marked the races of the first day of the national meet. The circuit men held their own, but met defeat in the championship con- test at the hands of a man who has con- tinually been among the ‘“‘also rans” on the circuit, and who had piled up only eight points in a season’s work in championship. Owen Kimble (“Old Kaintuck’) proved the two-mile champion of America, and his win of the great contest was of the cleanest order, and just beyond the slight- est shade of a doubt. The two-mile championship and half- | niile championship for amateurs both went to George H. Collett of New Haven, .who proved the updoubted king in the amateur class. Kraemer of Newark and Hausman, the tandem mate of Collett, and Joe Rodgers, the Philadeiphian, carried away the honors, no Western amateur being able apparently to hold his own against them. | But the contest in the twi n tional championship and the re- cord_were overshadowed in by | the inultiple handlcap, in which a tan- | dem team, thre. triplet teams and three | quad teams competed. Becker, Mertens, | Martin and Nat Butler, the scratch team won. They started up to the front in the long line, which formed early in the contest, and the Johnson record-holding triplet team, record 1:41, gave it a good | race. The finish was halr-raising, but | not close, the interest and the excitement | occurring as the teams shifted around for osition while going at world-record gait. he Johnson, Monroe and Fernwalt triple team gained second and the Major Taylor triplet team gained third. The time— | 3:25 3-5—broke the record of 3:52 and extra prize money was awarded to the win- ning team. | ther record for the track was nar- v missed in the morning, when Major Taylor made a wonderful ride to victory | in the mile handicap, in 2:00 1-5, the mark of Sims being missed by but one-fifth of | .a second. | 17. semi-final—Joe’ Rodgers, Phila- | C.

FRESNO, Aug. 10. — Shortly before 11 o'clock to-night a fire broke out in the rear of the Fresno beer hall, cor- ner of J and Tulare streets. The de- partment was slow in responding and before it arrived on the scene the fire had spread to the adjoining buildings, which were occupied by G. A. Baron's cornice works and J, G. Anderson’s real estate office. The bulldings were small frame structures. A residence next to Anderson’s office and belonging to the Ferguson estate was badly dam- aged. The total loss amounts to about 85000 with small insurance, The orig- In of the fire is not known. e Influences of the war on politics the | BIG WINNERS AT BUTTE MEET California Horses Make a Fine Showing. |MORGAN THE LEADING RIDER ‘WILLIE MARTIN TAKES TOD SLOAN’S GOOD JOB.

It. is a source of additional pleasure to me, a Vermonter, that the mover of the resolution was not a man from the North, but one from the far South. This is one of the good signs of the times.

's Caltfor- | WIN THE “JIM” Only Honest M SAN JOSE, Aug. 10.—It is almost cer- tain that “Jim” Rea and the boodle gang carried the primaries to-day. The election was one of the livellest in the history of the city. The Rea gang| turned out in force and defeated the | Good Government Club people and the Independent Republicans. Never before was such dirty politics dene in the Garden City. As predicted in The Call a few days ago bailot box stuffing, illegal voting and wholesale voting of Democrats were the means employed by ““Boss” Rea and the Mac- kenzies to carry the day. Election of- ficers had been coached in crooked methods and when the polls opened this morning they were skilled in ther sleight-of-hand work. Evidences of ballot box stuffing and all kinds of fraud are plentiful in four wards of the city and adjoining suburbs. In these precincts the Rea gangsters worked like Trojans and with the de- termination to capture the delegations by any means. Aiding them were gang office-holders and their deputies, and back of these forces was the riff-raff of the Democratic party. The police force, under the direction of Chlef Kidward, worked openly at the polls, as did the Fire Department, and this in the face of the fact that the eity charter dis- tinctly says: “No member of the Police or Fire Department shall interfere with poli- tics on an election day, or at any other time, other than to cast his vote.” Teachers in the city schools also rustled up votes for the gang. It is to the riff-raff of the Democracy that “Boss” Rea owes his success, for over one-third of the votes cast were from this cl . The Rea forces were out in such num- bers that they had things their own way, and they Jjostled and sneered at the better citizens as they stepped up to vote. Crooked work was done all over the city, but it was more particu- | larly noticeable in the Third Ward. Here there were complaints of fraud being practiced by election officers all day, and several times the ballot-box stuffers were caught in the act'and openly accused. They took particular | pains to harass the Good Government | Club people, and their watchers were | shoved away from the polls, The officers in charge of the election booth located at Holiister Stables on First street, near San Carlos, were: Judge, William Dreischmeyer; inspec- tor, George A, Clark. Here the trouble began before 7 o’clock, when Charles J. Cornell, proprietor of a notion store and one of the most prominent busi- ness men of the city, detected Dreisch- meyer substituting another ballot for one he intended to cast. He accused the election official of the act and de- manded his ballot. Dreischmeyer re- | fused to give it up and voted the ballot | he had substituted for Cornell's. After some words, during which Dreisch- meyer called Cornell a Har, the latter left. Cornell went before a notary and made the following affidavit: St s RSt 1, Charles J. Cornell, a resident and voter of the Third Ward of the city of San Jose, do, under oath, solemnly swear,that at the Republican primary held at the polling place in the Hollister stable, in sald city of San Jose, Third Ward, the ticket which I presented for vyoting was deliberately withheld and another attempted to be sub- stituted. On my demand to see the ticket about to be deposited the judge refused to show it to me and put it in his pocket, de- claring that my ticket had been deposited, And I was thereby disfranchised in this election. CHARLES J. CORNELL. Subscribed and sworn to by Charles J. Corneéll before me, this 10th day of August, A. D. 1898, WESLEY PIEPER, Notary Public in and for the County of Santa Clara, State of California. PR R S o b b o g g g g Similar charges were made all day. L. D. Webster caught Dreischmeyer at the same trick. He snatched the bal- lot out of Dreischmeyer's hand and found that Dreischmeyer had substi- tuted a gang ticket for the one he wanted to vote.. M. D. Phelps ig also positive that his ballot was changed. In the Third Ward were 48) votes cast, of which number the Good Gov- ernment Club received 136. Thara are six precincts In the ward, and azcord- ing to accurate tally 50 votes were cast for the Good Government ticket in the Fifteenth Precinct, There 18 every rea- son to believe that this ratio should hold good for the other five precincts, which would mean a vote of 300 in the ward for good government. Instead it was only 136. This can be accounted for only by the stuffing of the ballot- box and the sleight-of-hand work of Dreischmeyer. In the Second Ward there was an equally bad state of affairs. There George W. Lee and F. C. Jacobs, boih named for delegates to the County Con- vention, were judge and inspector re- spectively. A pasteboard bandbox was used for a ballot-bax, and despite the protest of citizens they refused to use the regular ballot-box. They stated that such were their instructions from the Republican County Central Com- [ mittee. Mitchell Phillips and Harry Edwards, prominent business men of the city. were on watch in the interest of the Good Government Club. Rea's election officers ordered everybody out of the booth, including a Deputy Sheriff. Phil- lips and others objected to this on their right as American citlzens. Rea was at once communicated with, and he order- ed Chief of Police- Kidward to take his force and clear out the intruders, as with Phillips and Edwards present the chance to discern crookedness was too great. The patrol wagon responded with six officers, and Phillips, Edwarda and the Deputy Sheriff were summar- ily ejected. By this time quite a crowd had col- lected and Phillips and Edwards were roundly applauded for the manly stand they had taken. After this the gang had things all its own way, but the members of ‘the Good Government Club kept vigilant watch at the polls all day. The gang ran things with the same high hand in the First and Fourth ‘Wards.

An attempt was made to stuff the ballot box in the University Precinct, but this was thwarted and the Good Government Club carried the day. S. B. Merrill, judge in that precinct, is accused of the act. When he appeared on the scene this morning with the bal- lot box he refused to let any one look in it. This was insisted on by people present and a scuffle ensued for pos- session of the box. Terriil finally ob- talned the box and ran home. He re- turned in about fifteen minutes. He made threats of using a revolver if interfered with, but finally consented to have the box examined. It was found to be empty. . There are grave suspi- cions, however, that the box was stuffed when first presented. These are but examples of the meth- ods employed by the gang, and it is safe to presume the same work was at- tempted by Rea men all over the county. The methods adopted by Boss Rea will act as a boomerang.

The first election of Rea’s brother with such op- position Is considered hopeless by his most sanguine adherents, and while they feel jubllant at carrying a pri- mary by stuffing the boxes, voting Democrats and using every fraudulent means to accomplish their ends, they yet feel that only the outposts have been won and that the battle royal is yet to come at Sacramento and in the Congressional and county conventions.” “We are in the fight to stay until the end,” said another member of the Good Government League, “and ‘Boss’ Rea and his minions will understand it be- fore the campaign is over. “The Republican voters left in dis- gust. More than one-half the votes cast at the polls were cast by Democrats. Many of them openly confessed this fact. The Good Government League dees not look upon this farce as a de- feat. It will supply conclusive evidence to prove to the members of the Repub- lican State Central Committee the ille- gaiity of the election.” Rea, when seen at midnight, sald that he was satisfied that “his friends” would represent Santa Clara County at the State convention and that his same good friends would be in the majority inthe county convention next Satur- day. The Good Government League, while not admitting defeat, as several of the outlying towns are still to be heard from, declares that while Rea may be on the top of the ladder at present the ladder will' be pulled from under him on election day.

HE WILL NOT WORK WITH FITZGERALD THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS AND THE INJUNCTION. The Robinson Case and Some Indian Claims Considered at the Bi- Monthly Session. The eternal Robinson case was up again | for consideration by the Railroad Com- mission yesterday afternoon, and after a two hours’ discussion was left in exactly the same state in which it was befozre the | meeting. The Commissioners started out | to arrive at some conclusion as to their future actions in regard to the Robinson | matter. Since Judge Bahrs issued an in- | junction restraining the Railroad Com- | mission from further action in the prose- | cution of the case nothing has been done by the Commissioners.. The discussion | yesterday was to settle whether the Com- | missioners should ignore Judge Bahrs’ restraining injunction or appeal from it| to the Supreme Court. A great portion of the time was con- sumed by the announcement of George ‘W. Monteith that he would not in the future associate himself with Attorney General Fitzgerald in tue prosecution of the suit. He had written a letter to Fitzgerald in which he states in pretty strong language that he will withdraw from the case of Robinson versus the Southern Pacific Company if Fitzgerald determines to remain in it. The reasons for his intention to sever himself from further co-operation with his former as- sociate, Monteith asserts to be their in- ability to work together effectively and a lack of understanding as to the proper division of duties. Nothing was decided by the commission, and the Robinson matter has gone over for another two weeks. The commission received a short time ago two letters addressed to the Gover- ernor in which the writers, Indians of Butte County, complain that the railroad company refuses them the privilege of riding on the platforms of cars. They claim that this right belongs to them, he- ing reserved by the Government for the Indians at the time of the granting of the charters to the railroad companies. The Railroad €ommission informed Wil- liam F. Herrin of the Indians’ claim and | the infraction of their rights, and re- ceived in reply an answer from the chief counsel of the Southern Pacific which de- nies that any such reservation was ever made or that such privileges exist. The | Railroad Commission dismissed the mat- ter on account of lack of jurisdiction. THE BLOW THAT JARRED KILPATRICK SCHOOL DIRECTOR WALLER AND THE EX-PRINCIPAL MEET. They Exchange Compliments and§ Kilpatrick Is Arrested on a Charge of Assault, Samuel M. Waller, School Director, and iness Evening School, met in the corri- dor of the City Hall, opposite the offices of the Board of Education, yesterday af- ternoon, and an hour or two later Kil- patrick was arrested on a warrant from Judge Mogan’s court, charging him with assault upon Waller. ‘He was released on his own recognizance by the Judge. Waller's version of the affair is that Kilpatrick came up to him and held out his hand, remarking, “Well, have you| forgiven me for the letter I wrote?” re- ferring to a letter Kilpatrick had writtéen to School Director Burns, making certain charges against School Directors. Wal- ler said he did not want to speak to him, and_Kilpatrick turned away, after telling Waller that he could go to a er climate than California. “What's that you say?” said Waller,and going up to Kilpatrick struck him on the shoulder. Kilpatrick_ made a motion for his hip pocket, and Waller ran into the Board of Education office. Kilpatrick says that he and Waller ex- changed a few words and he went toward his friend A. W. Atherton, who was with him. Waller came at him shouting “What's that you say?” and struck him a blow on the shoulder that jarred him so that his hat fell off. All the motion he made as Waller rushed for the Board of Education office was to stoop and .pick up his hat. He did not have a revolver in his pocket, and had his overcoat over his arm. He was very much surprised when arrested as Waller was the ag- gressor, and thinks it is a scheme to be- smirch him, as his suit against the Board of Education comes up to-day. A. W. Atherton, who was the only wit- ness to the affair, corroborates what Kil- patrick says, and thinks Kilpatrick's ar- rest an outrage.
