The Board of Election Commissioners has unanimously rejected the Kelly-Crim- mins “blanket ticket” scheme and for the gang which is attempting to dominate the Republican County Central Committes has laid down the one course of procedure which is within the law and which will be permitted to obtain at the coming primaries. Concisely, the commission has said that delegates to the next convention shall not be elected at large, but chosen upon tue proportion of representation in each Assembly district; that each district shall have, and know, its own representatives, and that the Western Addition shall not be represented by the flower of Brannan street or North Beach heelers. Furthermore, the commission has given the County Central Committee, the Peo- ple’s party and the Socialist Labor party until _ Saturday to_lose their “blanket ticket' order of things in places on the ticket. Messrs. Kelly and Crimmins did not give up their graft without a fight. It had been conceded for two or three days that the scheme was a dead one, but notwith- standing Al Raisch and Pat Prendergas to whom the fight nad been delegated worked on the commissioners from an early hour yesterday inorning - until the time the meeting was called in an_ effort to get _ them line. They were discouraged early in the game and made a last desperate effort to Start tLings going their way when they approached Commissioners Wells and Sneehan with a proposition to withdraw the vlanket ticket scheme if the board would consent to allow the committee to have seventeen delegates from each dis- trict without regard to party representa- tion at the polls. i Wells and Sheehan were non-committal on the scheme, as was Commissioner Til- ton, who was also approached, but Raisch fresh petitions for fell secure enough in the premises to make his proposition in open meeting after the board had come together. He let his gold brick lie on the table just | long enough to deliver a nice little speech of withdrawal and another taking it all back. Tnen he picked it up and reverted to the original proposition—the blanket ticket. The board went into executive ses- sion to consider. Chairman Lane opened the meeting, with | imple announcement of the reason for Then he invited Mr. Raisch to speak.

Lane asked if they preferred that plan to pro- portional representation and. they said they did. Lane said it was not within the | provisions of the law and asked if tne | committee would abide in the matter by | th decision of the board. “We didn't say so,’ retorted Raisch, | and then he gathered in_his brick again. will - not | “Of course, if you gentlemen grant the a’ternative plan we will not | withdraw our original petition. We want | one or the other. We are willing to let the ‘blanket ticket' slide if you will con- sent to the modification we ‘offer. If not | We want it understood that we have not | withdrawn our original pefition.” i Lane said he was not sure that the| board would accept either the original or the modification, upon which Prendergast came to his feet with the statement that the members of the board had come to a ! private understanding with him and had | agreed to the modification. e The only reply to this was a motion by Auditor Wells to go into executive session. Lyman Kinne of the People’s party *and Collins Gersford for the Socialist-Labor | party backed their petitions for blanket tickets, but the action of the board in executive session pointed the way all of them will be compelled to tra The resolution adopted unanimously was as follows: Whereas, Under the provisions of the pri- mary election law the Board of Election Commissioners is required to pass upon pe- fitions presented by varlous political par- ties for place upon the official ballot to be voted at the primary election to be held in this city and county on Tuesday, August & 1599, and whereas, under the law the portionment of delegates for any territory hall be upon the basis numerically of the average vote cast for the candidates of the Tespective petitioning political parties at the last preeding general election; and Whereas, any apportionment made in ac- cordance with the provisions of the law muse not be to or the election by territory not included in the same Assembly district. Therefore be it Resolved, That all petitions presented by political parties that do not conform to the Provisions of the law be rejected. Resolved, That it is the decision of this commission that the apportionment for each territorial division shall be upon the basis numerically of the average vote cast for the candidates of the respective petitioning p fitical parties at the last preceding gex. eral election, and the said apportionment shall be in proportion to the number of votes cast in said territorial division, which shall not be larger than an Assembly district. Resolved, That all parties which have not complied with the law in the above respects shall be given until Baturday, July 15, at 11 a. m., in which to present said appor- tionment’ as they may desire in accordance with the law. Which is to say that the law is to be abided by and that the push that is doing the embroidery work for the Crimmins and Kelly layout has been given until Saturday to do so. Under the provisions of the plan laid down by the board if the | by its County Committee decides to sta; proposition of one delegate to every eighty Voters the number of delegates from each district will be as found in the following table: ot ok 3 T38| gz | 8% | 8= 25 |ap|ex s DISTRICT. o | TR g8l E8xlce | 3838|338 SE e Twenty-eighth 12 2 2 Twenty-ninth . 3102 Thirtieth 2 H Thirty-first 3 2 Thirty-second . 2 2 : : 2 3 2 3 2 3 3 2 2 2 2 F o i Fortieth 2 H Forty-first . iy H Forty-second 1 H Forty-third . 1 3 Forty-fourth 1 H Forty-fitth . 1 H Totals .. 36 | 31 | 39 e e Will Not Countenance Bosses. The Continental League, at a meeting held last night at Saratoga Hall, 814 Teary street, Frank D. Worth in the chair and Hamilton J. Riggins secretary, placed itself squarely osn record as being opposed to the bosses. Amos Currier, chairman of the execu- | tive committee, offered a resolution in- dreams and conform to the new | mto | | tofore, is opposed to bos: SHE DIED FO Her to Seek Sol N a moment of desperation, due to the threat of her lover that he was about to desert her for another, Anita Byrne, chief operator in the telephone offic at Sutter and Hyde streets, committed suicide yesterday by swallowing the con- tents of a phial of carbolic acid. Her mother discovered her lying cn_ bale of hay in a barn in the rear of their home at 16 Bourbon place. She was still alive, but her condition indicated that she could not possibly survive the fatal draught. Summoning a neighbor her mother had her removed to the house. Dr. ok Mohun was at once sent for, but despite his efforts she breathed her I several hours later. The man for whom the unfortu woman killed herself, so it is claime; Frank Seaver, a switchboard attendant in the main office. Seaver met oliss Byrne about two years ago, while he was acting as manager of the telephone office at Sutter and Hyde streets. She fell des- perately in love with him and he seem:d to reciprocate her affections. Frequenily th other telephone girls it was that they were engaged to be married. Tuesday evening Seaver met the mis guided woman by appointment and they went to Oakland. They returned to this city -about 10 o'clock and repaired to the Byrne residence on Bourbon place. The family had already retired tnd the couple | sat in the parlor for about an hour. Seaver then took his departure. after romising to see Miss Byrne “in the near 3 he expressed it.

After learning the facts in the case Cor- oner Hill visited police headquarters and invoked the aid of Captain of Detectives Bohen in finding Seaver.

His object in asking the assistance of the police in locating him was to hold him | until the inguest on the body was held. ' Coroner Hill is of the opinion that Seaver had jilted the unfortunate woman and after brooding over his perfidy she determined to die. Mrs. Byrne, the mother of the young | woman, said 1 night that her daugh- ter had been enjoying a few weeks' va- cation from her labors in the telephone | office when she took the fatal dose. | “She seemed to regret that she had to | return to work,” tearfully remarked her | fond parent, * he feared that she might lose her position for some reason. She frequently spoke of the recent dis- | missal of several of her chums from the | employ of the company and lived in fear that she would be simitarly treated.

He had no juris- | diction. he said, over articles criticizing | the Government, unless specially in- structed by the authorities at Washing- | ton, and he had received no instructions | on the_subject. | Mr. Munro said yesterday that no one, | not even the Postmaster, had a right to | open a package of first-class mail matter | and examine it to ascertain whether or | not. its contents were treasonable. Mail | matter of the first class—that is, mail pre- | pall with letter postage and sealed so that its contents cannot be ‘examined without breaking the seal—is immune | from molestation.
