Earl Is Charged by James Stanley With Sub- serving His Own Ends. Said to Have Taken Sides With the Enemies!: of Pardee and the Men Who Defeated Him. CALL HEADQUARTERS, OAKLAND, ‘Aug. 2%5.—James Stanley of Mission San Jose, who served several terms in this county as Public Administrator, and who was supposed to be a candidate for the State Board of Equalization from this district, created some excitement to- | night by publishing the following state- ment: I was a candidate for the State Board of Equalizaton from Alameda County, and was instrumental in electing the nine delegates to the Btate Convention from the Forty- sixth Assembly District. This was one of the moves that made the coun- ty delegation solid for Pardee. Becausé of the stand I took on be- half of Dr. Pardee 1 was assured by that gentleman of the support of his entire delegation from this county in my fight. My lifelong friend, and until re- cently my attorney, Guy C. Earl, who was making Pardee’s fight, assured me that after the gubernatorial fight was over he would use every effort to secure my nomination. The effort that he made will show exactly where his Interest lay. On my arrival at Sacramento last Monday | evening I was informed of a caucus held that day by the Alameda Coun- ty delegation. The delegation re- | fused to trade on the office I was | * seeking. At 2 o'clock Tuesday morn- ing my friend, Guy Earl, informed me that no trade had been made. He also told me that the Alameda city delegation and a portion of the Fourth Ward delegation were for Morehouse, who was not a candidate, and that the Calaveras man, Brown, had a cinch on the nomination. He knew all this tg be an absolute false- | hood, because Mr. Brown never could | have received the nomination with- out securing nine votes from Alameda CountK. At that time Earl had traded forty- | five votes for ten without the consent of the Alameda delegation. He knew then that the caucus had refused to make a trade on this office, and he did this on his own responsibility and without the consent of the delegates. The next day G. B. Daniels spent his time interviewing the delegates, get- ting their consent to ratify Earl's ac- tion. The result showed that by the combined effort of Mr. Earl and all his friends they could only dellver thirty-two of the forty-five, which they did under pressure. At no time could the ten votes of Calaveras Coun- ty do Pardee any good. It remains for Mr. Earl to explain how Alameda County could be bene- fited by agreeing to give forty-five votes for ten, knowing at the time that Pardee was beaten and out of the race. The only excuse he has to offer is that in the temporary organiztion of the conventjon there might have been a chance to break the slate. His course afterward showed that he was a party to the slate or programme. He united with the very men who de- feated George C. Pardee for the nom- ination. By the trade he made with the Brown delegation, which secured ADVERIISEMENT™S. Pears’ No other soap in the world is used so much; or so little of | same_nature. for the latter the nomination, the lat- ter sought, Earl - defeated. the only chance Alameda County had to get a ace on the ticket. t was a well-known fact that Brown was a slated candidate and re- ceived the support of the raliroad. The course that Guy Earl pursued in the Brown matter and his abso- lute programming subsequently show- ed conclusively that his interests were all with the programme or slate men; the enemies of Dr. Pardee and the men who defeated him. In conclusion I may add that Guy C. Earl's interests were not those of Dr. Pardee or any other Alameda County candidate. He simply used the delegation elected by Dr. Pardee to further his (Earl’s) own interests, as the political boss of the Second Ward. 1 am not giving this publication un- der the sting of defeat, as I did not expect to recelve the nomination. I simply give these few facts as an ex- planation of the conduct of a man whom ‘I have befriended and have been assoelated with for years, and who claims to represent Alameda County. He has betrayed me as well as Dr. Pardee. He has betrayed Ala- meda County, which once honored him and pushed him to the front for a time. The letter of James Stanley, taken in connection with various other letters that are now being produced, presages a warm county campalgn. The statements pub- lished in to-day’s Call referring to a let- ter written by Lou Brown asking his friends to support any ticket on which appeared the name of Joe Lanktree, has brought forth another document of the The second one, bearing Lou Brown’s signature, is a personal Jet- ter exhibited this morning by Auomefv1 R. B. Tappan of Alameda, in whic Brown says that Lanktree and Tisdaie were his friends and could be safely sup- orted. Recorder St. Sure sald this morn- ng that he had seen a letter written to Alfred Baroteau from Lou Brown advis- ing support for the unpledged ticket in Alameda. This is the ticket that caused the discussion at S8acramento which has pla 1 developed into a disagreement of grave proportions among the camps of the vari- ous_candidates for county office. When coming down on the train from Sacramento_the Pondinkey Club and the Young Men's Republican League passed the following resolution: We, the undersigned members of the Pondinkey Club and Young Men's Republican_ League, returnine " from the State Republican convention held August 23, 1898, do hereby reafirm our allegiance to the Republican party and agaln voice our intention to support the nominees. But we do at this time express_our renewed confidence in George C. Par- dee; that he is a natural leader of men; that we are not unmindful of the inspiring lesson of party fealty he has this day given us in withdrawing his name from consideration of the Re- ublican convention in the interests of armony and for the success of the party. And for ourselves men of Alameda County we pledge him enthusiastic support should he see fit to again be a candidate for Gover- nor of the State of California. WORKING FOR THE NICARAGUA CANAL CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN CHICAGO IN NOVEMBER. Efforts to Have Congress Take Up the Question on the Opening of the Coming Session. and the young In all probability the Nicaragua canal question will be one of the most important that will come before the next Congress, which will meet in the latter part of the year. A strong movement is now on foot to have a Nicaragua canal convention held in Chicago on November 15, 16 and 17, at which ways and means will be de- vised for getting the matter properly pre- sented to the lawmakers of the country. it goes so far. One of the most active organizations in this movement is the American Nicaragua | | | agua Canal is c Canal Assoctation, located in San Diego. Yesterday the local Chamber ~of Com: received a letter from the secr R. H. Young, inclosing a circular setting forth the purposes of the organiza- tion. One object is to secure the earliest possible favorable legislation by Congress, Among other points it is desired to have the canal built, operated and owned by America. The great advantages of this is discussed at length, and particular ref- made to the recent long voyage attleship Oregon. According to the desires of that body the convention will be composed of dele- s appointed by the President of the United States, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, State Govern , count cities, Cham- bers of Commerce, Boards of Trade and all commercial bodies. In the letter re- ceived yesterday Secretary Young says: * * * We inclose copy of a proposed call for a proposed Nicaraguan canal congress to be held, most likely, in the city of Chicago next November. Everything séems to be go- ing our way and it looks as th h the Nicar- the te sure till, the ene- ight do s work that would result in by referring the whole matter to a com- | mittee or demand further surveys or something of the kind. We are receiving many letters and find general and active interest in the canal. We are, in answering the same, urging all to work for early action. It occurs to us that if a canal congress were held, as pro- posed, and a strong_committee appointed to walt, first upon the President and then to ap- pear before Congress, that sald committee might so present the question, backed up as they would be by the entire country, that Con- gress would take up the matter ai once and y with it until it was settled. Our assoclation is becoming quite strong and we are in hopes that in all the cities of the country other commercial bodies will take up the popular movement and see to it that canal assoclations are organized. The position of the local Chamber of Commerce is well known on the Nicara- gua canal question, and Secretary Scott at once answered that the San Diego or- ganization can rely upon San Francisco for all the help and support possible to glve. |CORONA CLUB IN AN OPEN MEETING LITERARY EXERCISES OF THE MISSION SOCIETY. The Innovation Proves a Great Suc- cess and a Large Attendance Enjoys the Entertain- ment. The Corona Club, a ladies’ literary so- clety in the Mission, held its first open meeting yesterday at 2668 Mission street, and it proved a complete success In every detall. Mrs. Frank Dalton pre- sided. The attendance was surprisingly large, over three hundred fair visitors crowding the hall to #s capacity. The programme was of a literary and musical nature. The opening number was a song by the Corona Club, “Co- lumbia.” Then Miss Kathyrine Fenton, the leader of the club, read a very en- tertaining essay on “Hurry and Rush,” which_was followed by a plano solo by Miss Clair Cole. Mrs. Worthington then recited in her usual successful style, and Miss Mabel Craig followed with a na- tional song. Miss Jennie Long read a delightful selection of a serio-comic na- ture. The other numbers on the pro- gramme were a piano solo by Miss Belle Ensign, a talk about woman's clubs by Mre. Louise ”umnhre?l's Smith, a vocal selection by Miss Edith Mill, and a reci~ tation by Mies Laura Geddes Sheldon. It was decided by a vote of the club to hold these open meetings every three months. e Alice Rix Writes about how the ex-Queen passed the 1Rth of August, in next Sunday’s Call. fo oJUDGE SWiNNERTON ™ ‘JOHNITON FOR IATE PRINTER © ofo v JIH REA IS DEFEATED People of San Jose Re- joice at His De- feat. Did Not Want the San Jose Boss to Make State Politics. SAN JOSE, Aug. 25.—There were smiles on hundreds of happy faces on the streets to-day over the turning down of Boss Rea and his man Austin in the Republicafi State Convention. The people of San Jose are beginning to realize that Rea is not only distaste- ful to them but to the State at large. Austin’s desire to be Secretary of State was not taken seriously by the resi- dents of the city and county and no one outside of the Rea gang thought he stood any show for the place. Rea's braggadocio was even appalling, and when he made the statement that he was going to run the convention and nominate Austin knowing ones winked. For years Rea has had an ambition to take a hand in State politics, and in the placing of Austin he saw a possible chance of extending his balliwick as a political boss. The quietus given him yesterday, coming so quickly upon the “rolling” he received at the hands of Major McLaughlin in the State Central Committee, has lowered his colors con- siderably. Citizens are beginning to realize how corrupt municipal affairs are in San Jose and what a bad reputation the place has earned throughout the State. They are awakening to the fact that something must be done to free the city of the Rea gang. It is predicted that the fall election will be the finale of Rea’s power. There will be an adjourned meeting of the Good Government League dele- gates to the county convention at Rutherford Hall in this city Saturday, August 27, at 10 a. m. THEY ARE SEEKING FOR A NEW LOCATION BERRY PLACE RESIDENTS AP- PROACH CHIEF LEES. Three Commltteet.nen Told That No New Colony of the Shameless Set Would Be Permitted. The denizens of Berry place, who are being evicted by order of Mayor Phelan, quietly sent a deputation to Chief of Po- lice Lees yesterday to inquire If the po- lice would interfere with them if they located on the upper floors of a build- ing near the Temple Bar saloon, at Grant avenue and Sutter street. Their representatives, two doctors and a law- yer, stated to the Chief’s clerk that no attempt would be made to open a re- sort on the ground floors, and that the utmost privacy would be observed. A request was made for a personal inter- view with the Chief In his private office. The Chief sent out word to the commit- tee that he could not receive it. Fur- ther, he said, the Police Department would not consent to recognize the right of the persons evicted from Berry place to colonize in any locality within the city limits. The committee thereupon left word with the clerk that an inter- view with the Chief would be sought to- aay. 3 gergea.nl Martin, who has the matter of the Be place evictions in hand, stated yesterday that the work was prac- tically completed, and that al! of the disreputable houses would be immedi- ately closed. Photographic Art Club. At the meting of the Photographic Art Club in the Mercantile Library building, Dr. XK. O. Steers gave an interesting lec- ture on *Photographing Dogs,” explain- ing In detail the best points presented by the various breeds of canines to the photographer, and laying special stre¢ss upon positions to be avoided. President L. B. Rea gave a demonstra- tion of flash-light photography. In the course of his remarks comparison was made between sunlight, arc lamp, gas and candle light as applied to photog- raphy. w%’n to the absence of George S. McComb, the paper by him on ‘“‘How to Make a Camera” was postponed until August 31 TE; indoor amusement committee an- nounced the following programme of readings and lectures open to the mem- bers and thelr friends: Miss K.

He Has Backing to Fight Any Wel- ter-Weight—Jimmy Carroll in Dawson City. George Green, the welterwelght pugi-| list, arrived yesterday from the East.’ He | is in the company of a man of money named J. H. Quann of Vancouver, B. C., and can find backing to the extent of $10,000 to fight any welterweight in the country. Green looks first class and said that he was very glad to return to his native city. “The weather is so exceedingly warm in New York,” he said, “‘that when train- ing for a fight you grow weak instead of strong. I was not in prime condition the night I fought Smith, but as he promised me a return match the chances are that we will meet again in this city. This s the only place to train for a mili and ‘the sporting people of Frisco will always turn out to see a good fight.

The Irish of New York are very sweet on Sharkey; they consider that he is the champion of the heavyweights. That trouble, or rather reported trouble, I had with Cor- bett amounted to nothing. Jim and I are on the best of terms and always will Beo Billy Jordan received a long letter from Jimmy Carroll & few days ago. The pugi- | list and his family arrived safely in Daw- son and they hope to strike it rich when they are settled down to business. Car- roll says that the match which was to| have taken place in Dawson on July 4 between Frank Allen and Frank Raphael fell through, and that Allen, Slavin and Raphael are having a hard ime makin; enough money with which to buy food. He also states that “‘Swiftwater Bill'” was a hippodromer and that his saloon was sold out by the Sherifft. The pugi- list advises all men without plenty of money and provisions to remain away from Dawson. —_————— STOLE GAS BURNERS. Jail for One Year. Jacob Strelitz, a gray haired old man, was sent to the County Jall for one year by Judge Mogan yesterday. He was ar- rested some days ago by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea on three charges of burglary, but he consented to plead gulity to petty larceny and the charges were accordingly reduced. Strelitz was for years a merchant tallor in this city and his family are in good circumstances. For some years he has been possessed of a mania to visit houses to let and steal automatic gas burners which he sold to second-hand dealers. He had visited one of Dr. Buckley's vacant houses three times within the gasl six months and stolen all the gas urners. The old man did not say a word in his own defense. —————— The greatest hand-to-hand fight in the war, in next Surday’s Call. —_—————— Captain Svenson Sues. The Watsonville Yukon Trading and Transportation Company, owning the river steamboat Queen of the Yukon, has been sued by Captain L. Svenson, the master of the vessel, for $299 99, salary due him from June 1, 1898, to August 13. The captain says hewas promised $125 er month, and was kept on waiting or- Bers until the last date mentioned, when he was discharged with no pay. e | was at once called to the letter made EARL DI Utterances CALL HEADQUARTERS, OAKLAND, Aug. 25.—Dr. George C. Pardee and Sen- ator Guy C. Earl returned from Sacra- mento this evening, and their attention public by James Stanley. The two gen- tlemen sat in the doctor’s library and nar- rated in detail all that happened in con- nection with trading the Alameda delega- tion at the State Convention. “The statement made by Stanley,” said Dr. Pardee, “is farcical, and his assump- tion that Senator Earl betrayed mé at Sacramento is as false and ridiculous as it is gratuitous. The statement is so clearly the utterance of a disappointed candidate as to be unworthy of notice. Senator Earl had and still has my im- plicit confidence, and I will swear that he did everything possible at SBacramento to further my cause. He acted judicious- ly and honorably, and all statements to the contrary are unqualifiedly false. Noth- ing was done without consulting me. Earl was the only man who succeeded in in- ducing one of the slate men to break away from the leadership, and this was done by Brown of Calaveras when he voted for Campbell for chairman of the convention.” Senator Earl referred to thwuuge of the resolution by the Alameda caucus that gave Dr. Pardee absolute control of fifty-nine of the delerauon and partial control of the remaining nine. He then said: *“Mr. Stanley has misrepresented matters from beginning to end. He as- sumes all kinds of false and illogical posi- tions and then proceeds to immolate me upon the altar of his own baseless theories, “Mr. Stanley only came from the Klon- dike after Dr. Pardee had really won his fight in Washington lawnah‘lf Yet he says that because of the stand he took on ehalf of Pardee he was promised the support of his entire delegation from this county in his fight for State Equalizer. I have yet to find with whom he had such an assurance, for everybody whom he has vet mentioned has denjed any such trans- action. Now, I will relate a little inside history. Brown of Calaveras knew he had strength enough, with some help from Alameda, to secure the nomination from the Third District.” “He showed his strength and promised us twenty-seven votes for Dr. Pardee. Owing to the resolution empowering us to trade, we agreed to give the Cala- veras man fifty votes; this left out the seven from Alameda and the nine from ‘Washington Township of which we were a shade doubtful. After this was done Stanley met me and said it was contfary to agreement to trade on State Equal- izer. I told him that it was unanimously agreed to trade for anything for Dr. Par- dee’s advantage. He said Dr. Pardee was already beaten, and he (Stanley) wanted the delegation. This wag sheer nonsense, as at that time there/was a plan on foot to combine all the candi- dates against Gage, and the test was to g::‘e on the vote for temporary. chair- “The test came, 3 and the votes for Campbell that were promised by Brown, Flint, Dickinson anc}) Patton, did - not materialize. Brown of Calaveras was a slate candidate, and yet he kept his trade and delivered thirty-three votes, six in excess of his pledge to Campbell, | £0 as to help Pardee. When Stanley saw how the vote on chairman stood, he pro- | posed that we let our trade with Cala- Veras slide. This was l)re osterous, af- ter Brown had prejud his position with the leaders for the sake of Pardee, and we voted thirty-two votes for Brown in the Third District Convention, and Wwould have kept our word and delivered fifty but for the absence of some of Ala- meda’s delegation. That is the truth, and I think that no intelligent man, much less a politician, such as Mr. Stanley pro- fesses to be, should desire any further explanation. . “As to Mr. Stanley’s ‘befriending’ me and his ‘life-long friendship’ 1 do not de- sire to speak. I have known Mr. Stanley for about ten years, and when he was Public Administrator I was one of his attorneys. We have done business to- ether, but it is absurd for him to imag- ne that all the work done in Alameda County for Dr. dee_was to be ap- propriated by him and by his dictation. As to Stanley's unermce}s' that T united with the men_who made the slate and who defeated Dr, Pardee, the doctor has already answered. Stanley says ‘Guy C. Earl, who was ing Pu’-dee’u fight, as- sured me that after the gubernatorial fight was over he would use every- effort Pardee Affirms That His Political Served His Interests Well at the Convention. Is a D NOT BETRAY THE BOQCTER Stahley’s Charges Termed the of a Disap- pointed Candidate. Manager to secure my nomination.” This is untrue I told Stanley we would do what we could for him, after Dr. Pardee was through with the delegation, but this dié not suit him. “The falsehood that I ‘simply used the delegation elected by Dr. Pardee to fur- ther his (Earl’s) own interests as the political boss of the Second Ward’ is toe childish to notice. I would like to know how the keeping of an agreement with Calaveras County could further any in- terests I may have In the Second Ward. “In conclusion I feel constrained to say that Mr. Stanley’s remark that his ut. terances are vented under the slin? ot defeat, 18 an unfortunate one, as it is wide open to criticism. I can only refer Mr. Stanley for an example of how to come out of a_ contest to Dr. Pardee, whom Stanley declares I betrayed.” IT IS FREE!
