ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. PROPHETS ARE WITHOUT HONOR N ALAMEDA Peculiarities of the Election. OPPOSITION MADE VOTES LEAVITT, TALCOTT, CHURCH AND JORDAN. The Republican Quartet That Kept Their Enemies Awake o’ Nights | Planning Schemes That Failed. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Nov. 13. There are many prophets who are not without honor ve in their own country, and many of them live in Alameda County. As well as being prophets they are poli- ticians, and under the fire of last Tues- day some melted and others came out Danlel-like. Now that the seriousness of the election is past, an analysis of some of the conditions attending it is full of surprises. M of the successful candi- dates were repudiated in their own homes, while others who were thought to be weak proved to be remarkably strong, and yet others who prophesied great strength were Incased in ice when the votes were counted. Supervisor Church, although securing a handsome majority in his district, did not win any of that majority in his home ward. unty Clerk Jordan, who made the hardest fight of the campaign, did not get any of his majority in the Seventh Ward; Supervisor Talcott, whose majority Very generous in his district, re- rity in_his home precinct; r of Berkeley in | the Repul 8 beaten in his home di rywhere else.

Leavit! soon as he announced his desire to be a member of the next State Senate Mr. | Leaviit was considered a legitimate tar- get for abuse by the fusionist press. With its usual and expected disregard for truth and decency, Mr. Leavitt was honored b: the opposition. The effect was most ben ficial to him, for each week it became more evident that his probable majority | was steadily increasing, and last Tuesday night his fusion opponent was left so far behind that he must be sidered polit- ically dead. Leavitt always was a child of Iuck. Recorder Spear desefves great credit for the magnanimity with which he can lose a political fight. No one did better work during the county campaign than Spear. He fought loyally for the whole ticket, asking no particular favors for any spe- cial candidate, not even for himself. His was a peculiar struggle. He was never criticized nor opposed, either personally or for the conduct of his office, yet his op- ponent, an elderly man,- captured the lum with thousands of votes to spare. t was not that the voters did not want Spear, but they wanted Grim more. When known Spear was one of a little dinner party early last Wednesday morning. and he was aw smmcere in his con- gratulations of his more favored brother candidates as In his expression that his opponent had won out fairly.

There are about seven husdred Sstreet-car men and some one diplomatiZally suggested that they or- gasiize on behalf of Mr. Grim. Their cam- paizn was a personal one more than a po- litical eff'rt. They knew nothing in pol- iti-s but Grim; they talked nothing but Giim arl the amount of*campaigning thit seveh hundred men can do on street ca¥s { couple of months was shown cohclusively last Tuesday.

Hereafter the street-car men will be in demand at elections, although the pro- priety of hundreds df men employed by railway employes proved be a powerful factor in one corporation entering so deci Into politics may be ‘Suemoneaf’edfl this instance, however, thers ~ was not the least secredy about the carmen’s action. They organifized openly, fearlessly, as individuals, and were neither encouraged nor discouraged by thefr employers. They felt a debt of ratitude to Mr. Grim and even went 8o far as to issue thousands of addresses to the voters, signed by a corps of carmen. There is an interesting side to this at- titude of the carmen. They made thelr fight for Grim because two years ago Grim relinquished voluntarily his position as superintendent of the Syndicate Rafl- way because he refused 1o obey the orders of the directors to reduce the sala- ries of the men. According to Mr. Ma- guire it should be supposed that the cor- one of the | Council found | | advice of these phys | operation was performed at 11 o’clock in | gospel Three months ago they | poration, which is the most powerful in this county, would object to its employes, even as individuals, supporting Grim on such a platform, which was really an en- couragement to disobey an order of the board of directors. Such a deduction, however, is proved now to be an absurdi- ty, for no one has yet heard of a single man losing his job for voting for T, Grim, neither does any one expect to hear of such, Certainly the recent diatribes delivered in this county by Maguire et al. concerning oppression, coercion and herd- ing of men by corporations lack confirma- tion in fact. i The Independents certainly did not de- | rive much encouragement from the voters. This party of alleged purity, which sprang into existence at the suggestion of men repudiated by the Republican party, may be considered as dead forever. Not | one of its candidates accomplished any- | thing. It is true they indorsed Mr. Grim’'s | independent candidacy, but Grim withcut | the independents would have won as de- | cisively as with them. However, they did well as it was expected they would. | Alameda County does not take kindly to | independent movements. It has learned | to suspect them, and this suspicion is due | to the fact that in the past inquiry into | | the motives of these hybrid movements | | has invariably ({)rovsd them to have had | ! their origin in disappointed office-seekers. | !

M. C. A. Work,” was the subject of Rev. Philip Graif's sermon at the First Free Baptist Church this morn. His evening sermon was preceded a prelude on ‘The Anti-Saloon Move- ment.” Professor and Mrs. A. Dobbins, the singers, recently from the East, gave a service at the Y. M. C. A.

The Oakland Exposition. OAKLAND, Nov. 13.—The California State Exposition, which opened in this city last night, will continue until De- cember 3, and bids fair to surpass any- thing of its kind ever held in Alameda County. The scope of attractions is far more comprehensive than last year, and takes in nearly every important industry in the State, for it i8 not wholly an Oak- land institutici. The attendance last night, though ex- ceptionally satisfactory. was nothing com- pared to what it will be throughout this week. The exhibition will be open all af- ternoons and evenings and will, if any- thing, increase in magnitude as it pro- gresses. THROWN FROM THE .~ CARS AND RUN.OVER T ot SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO CHARLES CHACE, A BRAKEMAN. Nearly Rolled Under the Wheels of a Rapidly Moving Freight Train. OAKLAND, Nov. 13.—Charles Chace, a brakeman, had a miraculous escape from a most horrible death early this morning on the narrow-gauge night freight run- ning between Alameda and Santa Cruz. As a result of injuries sustained he is now liyng in a critical condition at Fab- iola Hospital, where his left leg between the ankle and knee was amputated by Drs. Kane, Olmsted, Miiton and Meiggs this afternoon. o The accident occurred just the other side of Wrights in the Santa Cruz Moun- tains, about 3:30 o'ciock this morning. At that hour the freight train was going down the grade [hrouih a big cut. Chace was on the top of a box car J)L'tflns on the brake. Somehow the spindle part of the braks got out of position and Chace was hurled off the car and struck violent- 1y against one of the banks of the cut, his body then rolling down to the tracks. Three cars passed over his left leg, and he was not missed from the train until nearly an hour later. In the interim the injured man lighted a match to see how badly he was hurt and tled a handker- chief just above the crushed portion of the limb. ‘When help finally came he was uncon- scious and was lylng on the track. He was taken to Santa Cruz, where his inju- ries were temporarily dressed, and by a special he was conveyed to Oakland. Charles Chace is a_ brother-in-law of Cotton Bros., the well known contractors. He is 25 years old and resided with his wife and c at Boulder Creek. Murderous Chines: Identified. OAKLAND, Nov. 13.—The police have ascertained the name of the Chinaman who murderously assauited Ah Kim with a knife on the McElrath place yesterday. He is Lim Kom, and his American name is Ah Jim. To-day a friend of the mur- derous Mongolian called at the vegetable gardens inquiring after him and gave out his t name. On further search at the cabin Lim Kom's photo and passport were found, and the police feel confident now that he will be located An Address to Socialists. OAKLAND, Nov. 13.—The Oakland see~ tion of the Socialist Labor party now hold regular Sunday evening meetings at Grand Army Hall, to which admission is free. A series of lectures has been ar- ranged for these occaslons and to-night Charles F.

Endeavors to Make Them Pay a Li- cense for Posting Their Placards. ALAMEDA, Nov. 13—The City Clerk of Alameda has made a frantic but futile ef- fort to enrich the municipal treasury to the extent of a round $000 at the ex- pense of every candidate for office who posted or caused to be displayed witnin Alameda’s corporate limits a card an- nouncing his candidacy. This city was a great point of interest to the politician, and the fences and deadwalls were cover- ed with’political cards until sections of | the town appeared like huge checker- 0000000000000 0000 Statue Erected In Hls Name Ceremony at St. MMEDIATELY before the Icelebrntlon of vespers at St. Mary’s Church (Paulist) last evening an imposing and mag- nificent statue of St. Anthony was blessed and consecrated with simple but impressive and inspiring ceremony. Of late de- votions to this saint have been markedly general. Throughout the entire city statues, similar to that now erected in St. Mary’s Church, have been and'are still being erected for special devo- tional purposes. The statue, as erected, oc- cupies a position immediately to the right of St. Joseph's altar. It is about five feet four inches in height and stands upon a base of highly ornamental red- wood. One of its principal char- acteristics is its trueness to life. One can almost fancy that the artistic image s endowed with animation as it looks down upon the devotee in prayer and sup- plication at the altar rail below. The ceremony of consecra- tion was performed by the Rev. Father Maxmillian of St. Jos- eph’s Church of this city, assist- ed by acolytes and one of the associate priests of the Paulist community. The devotions at S8t. Mary’s Church to the honored saint will differ somewhat from the usual, form of devotion wil consist solely burning of blessed candles.

The day after election the City Clerk “struck upon the idea that every candidate was a bill ter, or at least the person was who tacked up his signs. There is a bill poster’s license in Alameda of $25 per annum. The Clerk made up a list of over 200 candidates who had used the fences and walls of the city to advertise them- selves. He prepared licenses for them and sought the City Marshal to instruct him to make collections. .1t so hapened taat the Marshal was the successful Republi- can nominee for Sheriff. He was wm(ns to donate $25 to the city, but said he di not have the heart to ask the host of defeated office-seekers, who figured ~—up about 90 per cent of the list, to pay Ala- meda for usi her advertising space when the cltyngld not give them votes enough to indicate that any of her citi- zens seen their announcements. City Attorney Taylor, State Senator- elect, was asked for a legal opinion upon the question, and stated offhandedly that if the law was 'strictly construed the candidates or their friends mlfiht be made to take out a bill poster’s license, but that as most of the nominees had been snowed out of sight it would be hard matter to find them. ‘“‘And besides,” sald Mr. Taylor, “I don’t supose many of them have §35 left; and if we proceeded against them and convicted them for violating 2 city ordinance they would have to go to jail for lack of funds to pay their fines. I do not believe in taking such an undue advantage of a defeated foe.” s NO ALAMEDA DAY. Encinal City May Not Be Repre- . sented at Oakland’s Show. ALAMEDA, Nov. 13—It is not likely that this city will have a day at the Ala- meda County Industrial Exposition now being held in Oakland. Agents of the Realty Syndicate, which owns the elec- tric line running between the two cities, have been making efforts to interest cer- tain of the city officials in the matter, but have met with little encouragement. The Eenuemen appealed to refuse to take a and in the &Nject for the reason, they assert, that they were not treated fairly last year by the transportation company. During the exposition of 1897 Alameda citizens went to considerable expense ar- ranging and carrying out a programme for an Alameda day. Amo! other ex- penditures was the hire of a brass band. As the streetcar company received all the benefit of the day, it was solicited to “‘pay the pipers,” but the officers refused to put up a cent. A few dayseago, when the company’s agents were endeavoring to in- terest the Alamedans in another Alameda day, the action of last year was thrown at” them wherever they went, and the’ citizens who are generally foremost in such undertakings positively refused to give any assistance.

OF GREAT VALUE TO LAWYERS SHANAHAN TELLS WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. The Givil and Political Codes Will Be Presented to the Legislature in Two Separate Bills—Other Improvements. The Code Commissioners, Messrs. Cam- inetti{, Shanahan and Bulia, have per- formed a great deal of labor since thelr appointment, as will be seen by the fact that they will present to the next Legis- lature the Civil and Political Codes com- plete in two separate bills. In addition to this the amendemnts to the Code of Civil Procedure and Penal Code rendered necessary by the revision of the Civil and Political Code will be presented. The commission has nearly completed a volume of uncodified statutes taken from the statutory laws of the State, carrying the laws in force adopted from 1850 to the Another important matter to attorneys and litigants is the fact where the Su- preme Court has glven an exact meaning to any section of the code by a decision concerning it, the language of the court is included in the section as being the ex- act law. In speaking of the labors of the com- mission yesterday Commissioner Shana- han sald: “The Code of Civil Procedure and the Penal Code cannot be presented complete- 1y revised at the coming session. A great proportion of the labor involved in these two codes has been accomplished and this work has required the consideration of every section of the code that will be pre- sented as well as the statutes and the Supreme Court reports. “We are endeavoring to condense the laws of the State as they stand to-day into five comprehensive volumes, instead of the four codes, the statutes of each se slon of the Legislature since the organi- zation of the State and the 120 volumes of Supreme Court reports. The result will be of great value to litigants and attorneys. “Senator Bulla's division of the work was largely confined to the laws affect- ing_municipal corperations. These were embraced in about seventy-five statutes which required weeks of time of a good lawyer to carefully work through and get | his points. These volumes have been so | condensed and classified that the same | work can now be accomplished in a few minutes. Mr. Bulla's codification is com- Iete‘;l and has been adopted by the oard.” The laws governing counties and town- ships were assigned to Commissioner Caminetti, who has about completed his labors.. Mr. Shanahan's department was State offices and institutions and the Frhole question qf taxation. Of these he has completed the codifying of the tax laws. The unfinished work of the com- mission will perforce be submitted to the Legislature two years hence. €AN FRANCISCO CALL.
