To be serious, it {s now evident that young Mr. Grant and his friends are aware of the fact that the charge that | the Grant forces in San Diego County stabbed the Republican State ticket in the back in order to gain votes for their county candidates for the Legis- lature had had some considerable weight with California Republicans generally, and more particularly with of the Senate and Assembly- s early as the middle of last the charge was made in San County tt friends J.

THAT VACANT JUDGESHIP JUDGE WALLACE'S ATTITUDE CAUSES CRITICISM. Ex-State Senator Percy Henderson ‘Will Probably Be Appointed Chief ‘Wharfinger—Some Politi- cal Gossip. Lieutenant Governor Jeter arrived in the city yesterday from his home in Santa Cruz. In the afternoon he called upon Governor Budd at the Palace Ho- tel and officially notified him that he would be unable to accept the appeint- ment of Bank Commissioner, which was | | tendered him by the Governor some days ago. The Governor expressed his disappointment, but he was unable to | overcome the decision of the Lieutenant Governor, who urged the fact that his private business affairs would not per- mit him to give his time and attention to the duties of a public office, parti- cularly one the duties of which are so onerous and important as that of Bank Commissioner. The Lieutenant Governor's declina- tion will also prove a disappointment to his many friends in both political parties to whom he has endeared him- self during his term of office. The Gov- erncr has as yet given no intimation of whom he intenas to appoint to the position which he had tenaered to the Lieutenant Governor. The appointee will, as a matter of course, be a resident | of the northern section of the State, and as there are many who are seeking the | appointment the Governor will have no lack of material to choose from. Governor Budd has not yet announced whom he will appoint to fill the judge- ship left vacant by the death of the late Judge Rhodes Borden. It is gen- erally conceded that the place will probably be given to W. P. Lawlor, whose last campaign were invaluable and who has always been identified with the best interests of the party in the city and State. Much comment has been in- dulged in among Democrats and others | concerning the manner in which Super- ior Judge Wallace has sought to secure the appointment for himself. It is as- serted that inasmuch as he submitted his tion and was defeated, of the four Superior were Democrats, it is a display of bad though three taste for him now to seek to ignore the | wishes of a majority of the electors by | asking for the appointment. In this re spect his action has been contrasted | t with that of Justice Van Fleet, who re- fused the appointment of Supreme Court Commissioner after having been | defeated for re-election as Associate | Justice of the Supreme Court. It is not considered probable that Wallace’s claims will be seriously considered by the Governor, though the fact that he has solicited the appointment is creat- ing much adverse comment. M. H. Smith, not he of the silken beard, who is an apostle of the Harbor Commissioners, known in both municipal and State pol- itics, for Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. Mr. Smith has many supporters, among them being Secretary of State-elect Charles F. Curry. Leslie who sought the support of the Alameda delegation for the position, failed to secure the indorsement of that body at a recent caucus, but instead the A meda legislators declared themselves in favor of Lou Martin, who is well known in Oakland politics. It is generally understood that the position water front, which will become vacant January 1, will be given to ex-State The an- satisfaction.

The directors of the Manufacturers’ and | Producers’ Association met yesterday and discussed several matters of more than The pure foods commit- tee submitted the outline of a proposed bill creating a bureau, the officers of which are charged with the duties of pun- ishing all violators of the pure foods laws. It is to consist of three commissioners to be appointed by the Governor—one from the northern part of the State, one from The permanent employes are to st of a manager, an attorney, a chief pector and an offictal chemist.

It was indorsed by the directors. A resolution was passed requesting the California delegation to vote for the Sen- ate bill appropriating $350,000 to aid *‘an exhibit of American made goods suitable for exports” to be displayed next year un- der the auspices of the Philadelphia Mu- seum. Another matter acted upon was favorable to ss-ndlmi a petition to Con- ress to enact new laws with a view of ficreasing our merchant marine. .

The Wells-Fargo stamp tax cases were The officers of the Society for the | tried yesterday before Judge Morrow in | the United States Circuit Court and sub- | mitted. There were two suits—one brought against the corporation by G. B. | Benham and the other by B. Johnson. | They ~were originally brought in the | Justices’ Court, but on motion of Wells, | Fargo & Co. on the ground that the ques- | tion involved was a Federal one they | were removed to the Circuit Court. There was no jury, the facts of the case being admitted, and the court being asked to pass upon the law, the issue being, “Should the company pay the war tax stamp on packages entrusted to it for transportation or should the senders of the packages pay for the stamp?” George D. Squires appeared for the plaintiffs and Alfred Sutro for the express company. The points made by the attor- neys were the same as were decided by Justice of the Peace Barry and Superior Judge Troutt some weeks ago. In both cases the plaintiff demanded $5) damages for the refusal of Wells, Fargo & Co. to take packages of merchandise unless the urchaser paid for the war tax stamp. Fhe express company contended that the law does not require the corporation to pay for the stamp. Judge Morrow said that he would give a ‘decislon in the case before the next term of the Circuit Court of Appeals, which opens on the first Monday in Feb- ruary, so that either party could have an opportunity of : ly hearing in that tribunal shoul 5 After the n the court M Prevention of Cruelty to Children are much incensed over the action of Rev. J. E. Henderson of Oakland, who, it is alleged, took two abandoned children from Sacramento and placed them in a home in Oakland without warrant or order of court. It has been learned that Henderson is superintendent of a society in Oak- land known as the Home Finding So- ciety of Oakland, which is now under- going the process of incorporation. Miss Mary Brandau, assistant superin- tendent of that society, is now in Sac- ramento. She found that the two chil- dren in question had been brought from Nevada by their mother and abandoned in Sacramento, and at once sent for Henderson and turned the children over to him, although she acknowiedges he had no legal authority whatever to take them. Rabbl A. Simon, secretary of the Sacramento society, heard of the matter and at once entered a protest. He began inquiring about Henderson, and was informed that the reverend gentleman had been expelled from a ministerial society and is at the present time under a cloud. An interview with J. W. Daniels, as- sistant superintendent of the local Home Finding Society, brings out some interesting statements regarding Hen- derson’s career. It is as follow: “Rev. J. E. Henderson was once a parson at Angels Camp, and the Meth- odist minister who succeeded him there says that his proper place is in the State prison. ‘‘He is jealous of the Children's Home Finding Society of California, and by way of discrediting it spread reports that the society sells children. Desir- ing to entrap me he wrote a letter from Tehama under the name of H. W. Bar- tram, saying that he wanted a child. In a second he asked how much he would have to pay for a healthy child, and in a third he offered $100. I have copies of the letters to prove all my statements.” The Sacramento societies will prob- ably make an effort to regain control of the children taken by Henderson, but they are at a loss to understand why he should carry them away when he must have known he had no legal right to do so. CONTRACTS LET. The Valley B;aflway Awards Two Large Grading Contracts. Sutro sald that Attorney General F rald had brought suit for a writ of mandate in a similar matter and that it would be transferred to the Fed- 1 courts at the January term. He sug- sted that Judge Morrow should con- der the present cases and the Attorney General's suit at the same time. Mr. Squires expressed the opinion that such would not be a wise or a safe mode of procedure. The sult of the Attorr General being for a writ of mandate, there might be some jurisdictional facts | involved which would bring in an issue foreign to the one just submitted to the | court. | “Tudge Morrow asked Mr. Sutro whether | he was not aware that the United States | Circuit Court issues mandates only on be- half of its own processes. The court was inelined to the opinion that the suit of the Attorney General would involve a juris- dictional question. Mr. Squires sald that the issues in the | two cases just submitted were fair and square and clean cut. What his clients wanted to know was what was meant by the war revenue act. Did it mean that the private citizen should pay the war tax on packages sent by express or that the express companies should pay it? The ase of the Attorney General would cloud the issue and bring in a matter not at all pertinent. The authorities quoted by Mr. Squires| The directors of the San Francisco and ltn his argument were the following: |San Joaquin Valiey Rallway held their Judge Tuley of the Circuit Court, the | regular meeting yesterday.

The second was for a plece of grading beginning where the first contract ended and running nine miles to Pinole. This was let to Grant Brothers of this city. Third Vice-President J. C.

Mr. Stubbs says that the meeting developed nothing startling beyond a general dis- cussion of the subjects of freight rates.
