When Budd took his seat he ferred the matter to Attorney General ‘I-‘ zgerald for his decision. The Attor- ney General furnished a written opinion © | that the Governor could appoint a D rector only at the end of his predecgs: sor’s term, when an actual vacancy ex On the strength of this opinion Budd disregarded Ivory’s ment and appointed R. M. | 1d of Oakland to the position. It w a short time, however, until the Governor reversed himself and appointed Don Ray ol Galt in 18 to succeed E. J. De Pue nearly a year before the latter's term expired. This action was directly contrary to the opinion of Attorney General Fitz- ald and the belief the Governor to s { board | there W | Governor re- appoint; | Fitzger ‘himsfllf had formerly entertained. Now | rit is contended that one of the ap-| pointments must be wrong. If the At- | torney General’s opinion will stand the test of law, Ray has no legal right to | hold the position; if it is not, then| Ivory is entitled to the seat of Fita- gerald. It is known that Gage has had this card up his sleeve for some time, but | he did not intend to play it until he was ready. The intention of the Demo- crats to retaliate upon him, however, has alarmed him and his corps of con- fidential advisers to the extent thax Qo.nd‘ they intend to anticipate any proposed | scheme of revenge. Accordingly it the time | given out on good authority, | for electing a new Warden being on April 8, that prior to that time the question will be pushed to an issue. pid possible one of the Directors will be ousted before the date in question and a4 Republican placed in his position. That Governor Gage is alarmed over the turn in Afl'.nl& there can be no doubt, for the prison patronage ha been an object of great concern to him. Not only does he wish to control the patronage, but he desires to see Warden Hale relegated to private life. Hale and Gage are not on good terms and have not been since the Warden paid a visit to Sacramento during the early part of the legislative session. Hale went up with cclors flying and came back in an angry mood, which lasted for over a week. It seems that a year or two ago the | Board of Prison Directors adopted an order that none of the guards at San Quentin should be permitted to visit any of the saloons of the village. Two saloons have been conducted for a long time within a hundred yards of the n gates in direct defiance of lhc‘ which provides that none shal] be | allowed within two miles of a State institution. One of these saloons, be- longing to J. F. Robinson, a former guard, received the bulk of the patron- age, and a large number of guards have been accustomed to congregate in the rear room of the “grocery” and drink, play games and have an all-round “good time” to their hearts’ content. About once a year the Warden would make a spasmodic attempt to restrain the guards from patronizing the saloons in question, but in a short while word would be passed around among the | prison attaches that “the goose hung high” and it was all right to go to Robinson’s. ‘When the Warden went to Sacra- mento some one had evidently given Gage a “tip.” The Warden was told | that these saloons were a disgrace to San Quentin Prison and that he was not doing his duty in letting them sell | liquor to the guards. He was informed that he could soon end the affair by forbidding the guards to enter a saloon. There were some other things said evi- dently not to Hale’s liking, for he re- turned at white heat and at once in- formed the guards that any mard caught trading at these “groceries” would be discharged. Robinson made a great ado and declared that his business was | into the rear room of Robinson’s | h GAGE WILL SWING THE LASH OF POWER to Lose the Pat- ronage of Both Prisons. to Remove a Director If Aguirre Is Not Elected Warden—A Merry War San Quentin. being ruined to further the Warden's political ambition. He had several in- terviews with the head of the prison, but the latter remained inflexible. Two weeks later the Warden came to San Francisco with the intention of re- pairing his political fences. He learned ymething that put him on the anxious for he found it necessary to make several more visits. What he did or, said nobody seems to know, but it was only a short while before the guards began to drift back to the saloons a n. Now a casual visitor can drop at any time and see the guards enjoying them- selve the same old stand and in the same old way. That (Gage has heard of this seems certain in view of the fact that he re- cently approached a Director in this city and askéd when the next election for a Warden was to be held. He was told t April 8 was the day, and in retu 1sserted that he intended to take a hand in the game himself and wanted to consult with the board prior to that The saloon proposition affords a e excuse for the politicians gonistic to Hale, for a good many guards have been discharged on ac- count of drunkenness and for going to sleep on duty after imbibing too freely. Again, prisoners have been released and known to have spent all their money in one or other of the places, with the ult that they reached this city pen- ess and soon found themselves be- hind the bars for vagrancy. ige is known to have promised Martin Aguirre, a former Sheriff of Los Angeles, the first vacancy in the war- at denship, and the latter does not wish to wait a year to become Warden of Folsom. Not only has the aged head of San Quentin prison had to worry over the antipathy shown him by Gage, but he other troubles of a nature border- ing on the domestic. Captain J. C. Ed- gar, who has charge of the prison vard, is at outs with the Warden and has been for two years. The trouble be- tween the two has resulted in constant clashing. Edgar has frequently con- ducted himself toward Hale in such a manner that he would have been speed- ily consigned to another walk in life were it not for fear on the part of Hale that he would find the action a boomerang. The latest instance of the contempt :!m\\n by Captain Edgar for his su- pe is the manner in which Hale was “thrown down” before the convicts who were charged with conspiring to break out of the penitentiary and were cast into the dungeon. Hale now has all the credit—dubious as 1t 1s—for be- ing duped by “Sir” Harry Westwood Cooper, the cunning schemer who planned to get himself a pardon by playing the part of stool pigeon, but if common prison talk ig to be taken for anything Hale was not only fooled by Cooper but by Edgar as well. This story, which has been traced back and found true in fact and in detail, is to the effect that for all Hale knew of the intended outbreak until the night the convicts were thrown into the dungeon, they might have mur- dered every guard in the prison, liber- ated all the prisoners and flooded the State with a thousand criminals of the most vicious character to be found in- side the walls of a penitentiary. Ten d: before the intended out- break—accepting Cooper’s tale as true— Edgar received a confession from Coop- er. He said not a word to Warden Hale, but held a conference with Coop- er every day. His idea in this was plainly to take all the. credit of cir- cumventing the conspiracy himself, and he proceeded with this end in view. On the night the conspirators were thought to be in a fair way to make the intended break Edgar found that the Warden must be notified, and go- ing to him he acquainted him with the state of affairs. Hale was naturally furious that a subordinate had shown such contempt for his authority, but was in some measure mollified by the statement of Edgar that he had with- held the facts from the Warden on ac- ‘count of the ill-health of the latter and did not want to see him worried until the plan was nipped in the bud. Hale immediately ordered the men placed in solitary confinement. When the next meeting of the Board of Prison Directors was held Hale did all he could to prevent Guard Shields from getting a chance to exonerate himself from the charge, by innuendo, that he had aided in the plan of escape. He tacitly admitted that he had beer bunkoed by Cooper by saying at that meeting that he was going to put Cooper in the dungeon with the others, and thus gave Gage other reasons for antagonizing him for re-election. But the most significant fact was the ab- sence from the meeting of Captain Ed- gar, which prevented the conspiracy from being investigated. Fortunately for all concerned, Edgar was taken ill a few days before the meeting. and nothing could be done until April 8, the day of the appointment of a new Warden. Fdgar is a personal friend of Lieutenant Governor Jacob Neff, who has stood behind him at all times. It was for fear of the influence Neff might exercise over Gage that Hale did not make quick work of Ed- gar as soon as he found that he had been fooled by the so-called conspiracy. Between Gage’s candidate for War- | den, the impending struggle over the ejection of a Democratic Director, the mutual antipathy of Hale and Edgar and the desire of the Democrats. for the patronage of the penitentiaries in retaliation for Gage's attitude over water front patronage, there’s going to be some merry politics between now and April 8.

KOWALSKY’S HOPES VANISH BURNS AND McLAUGHLIN ARE INDIGNANT. They Show Their Wrath at the Action of the Governor—A Chapter From Local Political History. Governor Henry T. Gage has decided to appoint M. H. de Young the official representative and Commissioner from California to the Paris Exposition. This announcement will | to many and a disappointment to some, “as the honor was eagerly sought. It has been the ambition of Mr. de Young to attend the Parls Exposition in an of- ficial capacity. He is well informed in the duties of a commissioner sought first to represent the United States Government at the great expo- sition. The appointment of George W Peck of Chicago to that important post by President McKinley shattered, how- ever, the hopes of Mr. de Young in that direction. He will therefore accept the more modest but still distinguished po- sition of representative for California. It is perhaps a matfer of local inter- est that 'the chief rival of Mr. de Young for the place he will receive was Col- onel Henry 1. Kowalsky, who, in hope- ful expectancy, hovered as gracefully as his avoirdupois would permit around | the gubernatorial presence. The Gov ernor was not impressed, however, with | the Kowalsky hoverings and the col- | onel returned with neither hope nor promise from Sacramento. - The prize | was for De Young. The affair was all settled on Friday afternoon. Governor Gage and Young met in conference and remained in earnest discussion for something | over an hour and a half. The news of | the unexpected meeting was not slow in traveling. It was not long in reach- ing the ears of Colonel Dan Burns and | his faithful attendant, Major Frank Mc- | Laughlin. and in duty bound | shocked. major took his cue.

The Governor had thrown them down. He had gone deliberately into the camp of the enemy to award his gubernatorial favors. The colonel feels as though he possesses a proprietary interest in the Governor, at whose ac- tion he felt hurt. In deference to the colonel the major expressed a sense of injury, although he said, with charac- teristic emphasis, that he will follow Mr. de Young wherever he goes, even to Paris. The appointment of Mr. de Young may be therefore the means of ambition, at satisfying the major’'s least one of them. The anger of Dan Burns and the sympathetic horror of McLaughlin at the action of Governor Gage in decid- ing to honor De Young are connected | with some recent and very interesting political history. It will be remembered that De Young was a candidate for | the United States Senatorship. It was | understood that in his candidacy he had the support of the Southern Pa- cific Company and through that cor- poration the support of Dan Burns. No secret was made of the fact that the Mexican was heartily in support of De Young for Senator. That allegiance was honestly given by the colonel as long as the railroad people commanded him to give it. When the proper time came the rail- road people withdrew their support of De Young and Burns naturally desert- ed him. Without a word of consulta- tion with De Young Burns set himself up as a candidate for United States Senator and De Young opened his box of hammers. What followed is politi- cal history. Burns chafed under the attack of De Young and vowed all sorts of vengeance. That is a habit of the colonel’s, and in view of recent events at the capital is perhaps pardonaple. | The colonel swore that as long as he | possessed a vestige of political influ- | ence De Young would be punished. And now at the very close of the sen- sational Senatorial campaign at Sac- ramento De Young receives a marked honor from Governor Gage. It is the fixed conviction of the colonel. and naturally of the major, that Governor Gage has played fast and loose with their affections and has delivered them over to be the sport and the playthings of their enemies. | | | | ‘Mrs. Clara Foltz.

GADSKI WILL QUIT THE ELLIS COMBINATION Prima Donna and Im- presario Clash. SHE WILL SOON BE WITH GRAU | FAVORS HEAVY ROLES IN WAG- NERIAN OPERA. Reception Tendered the Singer by William Wolff Attended by a Large Number of Germans. When operatic queens and impresarios e with a grievance and the other determination to conquer, some thing generally happens. Charles T. Ellis, | proprietor of the opera company which bears his name, and Mme. Gadski, the German prima donna, have clashed under those conditions, and now Gadski is hap- py and Ellis is sad. Next season the Ger- man diva will not be found with Ellis, although he had a contract with her that called for the operatic season of 1838-99. The differences that arose between theo parties resolved itself into a matter of type. Melba, great and only, was starred. She was the one bright luminary of the Ellis operatic constellation, according to the Gadski version of affairs. Whenever her name appeared in print it was In type at least a half-inch deeper and two shades blacker than that of Gadski, and therefore the prima donna grieved and was sad. But all this could be borne and endured, though it was tantalizing in the | extreme. The final stroke came with the first performance of “Aida” in this city. That was Gadski's role and she shone for her brief three hours on the stage, mak- ing what many considered the success of the season in this city. After this Gad- skl became jealous of her own fame and with an_offer from Grau dangling above her head she began to make it unpleasant (o; Ellis. ~ few nights ago the meeting between Gadskl and Ellis occurred. Gidski has now her release with the reservation on the part of Ellis that he may bid for her services next year. In reality Gadski has signed with Grau for the London season, which begins on May 15 and<ends July 8. Grau, with the strongest operatic com- gany in this country, will star Gadskl in eavy German roles. The real reason of Gadski's contretemps with Ellis seems hinged on_ an offer from Grau for next season. The small and shadowy colored type merely accentuated Gadski's con- firmed belief that she was not receiving the full measure of her worth. Mme. Gadski was tendered a reception and banquet last evening at the home of William Wolff, the commission merchant, 1312 Washington street. A number of the prominent Germans of the city were pres- ent to meet the singer. Vhen Mme. Gadski came to San Fran- cisco she voluntarily offered to give a con- cert for the benefit of some German or- ganization. It was decided that the con- cert should be held some time this week and the proceeds were to be devoted to the use of the Goethe-Schiller Mounment Association, Owing to the fact that Mme. Gadski is compelled to leave the city to-day the arrangements for the proposed concert had to be abandoned, but to show the ap- firer(auon her countrymen had for the ind offer made by Mme.
