The fol- lowers of Mr. Buckley are determined to continue their organizations whether they be successful at the polls to-day or not. They number many thousands and feel they can wield some influence in shaping the destiny of their party. In a general conversation Buckley re- gretted that the members of the Fire De- »artment were compelled to get out and work hard for the success of Rainey's ticket. He said he was advised last night that the order had gone forth to the brave boys who risk their lives for a paltry sum and whose bread and butter depends on their positions to get out and help the man who controls their very existence. He also said that he had no ambitions to gratify and all he desired was that the be per- mitted to go out to-day and cast their votes without molestation. In answer to a question one of his friends as to Wi put to him by ether ne was aware of the attack on him in the am- iner he replied that he was familiar with the assault. ‘“‘The attacks on me," he said, re personal, not political. Some years ago the then managing editur of that paper called on me and wanted me to inate a man for Congress by the name J Lynch, a stock broker, wno had falled in business, stating that Lynch would pay him $3000 for his aid. Of course I refused to have anything to do with It “This scurrilous attack Is made on me in a general way.

Members of the Thirty-First District Compliment the Paper for Its Fairness. The delegates and representatives of the conference committee of the Demo- cratic League of Clubs of the Thirty-first District met last night to air their griev- finces for the treatment they had received from the Examiner and the Bulletin. It had been charged that the delegates rep- resented the boss element in Democratic politics and were not true to the candi- dacy of Mayor Phelan. All of these charges were denled by numerous speak- ers, and the papers making them were roundly condemned. The Call was com- plimented for the fairness it had shown to all parties during the campaign, and upon a rising vote it was unanimousiy re solved that every member of the league should give it his support. Ex-Assemblyman Timothy Treacy, one of those who had been assailed, led in the denunciation of the league's enemies. He safd: ““We are not masquerading. We are attending to our own business and trying to ‘'work in the interests of the people of thisdistrict. Wehaveindorsed Phelan, and when we say we have done that we have Rgone far enflu%h. But the bosses are mas- querading behind the good name and pop- ularity of the Mayor. From one side we r that if we are not taking orders from Nab or some other boss we must be in the camp of Buckley or Ralney. crime seems to be that we are independ- ent of them all, and for our independence we have been assailed by the organs of these political corruptionists, the Exam- Iner and the Bulletin.” . A. Wehr, Horace Jackson, Gus Asmussen and many others spoke in a similar strain. One of the speakers said that their delegates had been charged with being cutthroats, hoodlums and ev- erything else that was bad, but stated that they represented over $100.000 worth of taxable property in the district, by way of refutation. Chairman Charles Holcomb stated that the delegates who were receiving the sup- ort of the Examiner had not been named vy the people, but had been put up at private conference held downtown. He stated further: *“‘The Examiner has gone into politics and s no longer in the busi- iving the news. It should be treated the same as any other political boss. It is the duty of the people to stand by the paper tnat treats them fairly. and prints the truth. I refer to The Call. The mention of this paper was greeted with cheers. The meeting was a representative one and very enthusiastic. The German Democratic Club met in its headquarters, Norman's Hall, 411 Busn street, last night and passed the follow- ing resolution: Resoived, That the German Democratic Cen- tral Club heartily indorses the distinguished services of the Hon. James D. Phelan, as well as the fidelity and honesty of the Hon. Wash- ington Dodge, Franklin K. Lane, Supervisors Byington and Densy and E. Hill, and recom- mend their renomination. Following are the officers of the club: M. Greenblatt, president; Dr. Thiele, vice president; Captain Otto Luders, treasurer; . G. Wilke, secretary, and Henry 8. Canaris, sergeant at arms; executive com- mittee—Aug. Uhlenbrock, Henry Kuhn, M. Felchlen, Otto Guy, Rud. Luders, Cap- L R e S tain Krimphof and Anton Kolligs. In the Forty-third District the Exam- iner-Rainey combination has joined forces with the Committee of Ome Hundred o the Democracy., There is also an ind2- pendent ticket in the fleld, on which ap- pear the names of Ferdinand Reis Jr., William Henderson and Samuel Newman, Charles Edelman, a prominent resident of Orange County, is_visiting friends in San Francisco. Mr. Edelman was 2 can- didate for the nomination for Treasurer at the Democratic State Convention held at Sacramento last summer. It was then strongly urged that Orange County should be represented on the ticket. While visit- ing here Mr. Edelman has consented to serve as a delegate in the Democratic Municipal Convention of San Francisco. The Committee of One Hundred being shy of resident material placed Mr. Edeiman on the ticket as one of the representatives in_the Thirty-ninth District. The Democrats of the Thirty-first, Dis- trict have issued a circular to the voters of that district urging them not to be de- celved by the bosses, who claim to be friendly to Mayor Phelan but who are in fact not in favor of honest government. They ask all voters desirous of a clean. decent government to vote the ticket headed by Charies 1. Holcomb in. that district. Real Estate Owners. The Real Estate Owners' Association, through its president, J. Harris, and Sec- retary W. W. Campbell, has issued an ap. peal to voters. One paragraph in the ap- peal is as folows: This is the time for action. Every good citizen should make a determined effort at the polls to-morrow to secure the election of such delegates to the municipal conventions who will nomi- nate none but honest and reliable men in order to improve the advantages that we have within our reach.

In connection with the arrival of the transport Sherman with the California boys a big mistake has been made. Colo- nel Duboce has cabled that he will so ar- range matters that the transport will be off the Farallones at noon of the day she will arrive. What he should have done was to_have her off Point Reyes at that hour. The Point is the first land Captain Grant will make on a direct course from Yokohama to San_ Francisco, and in or- der to make the Farallones he will have to go out of his w Directly the Sher- man is spoken off Point Reyes the fact would be known in San Francisco, thus giving at least two hours and a half to make necessary preparations. From the Farallones the proposition is to bring the news in by tug, but there is not a tug in the bay that can outrun the Sherman. and more than likely both will be together by the Merchants’ lookout at Point Lobos. It should be so arranged that the Sherman will be report- ed from Point Reyes and then evervbody will have ample time to reach the water front before the transport gets in.

General Dickinson yesterday advised Auditor Wells that in his opinion the sewer commission appointed by the Board of Supervisors was not a legal body. The law, he said, empowered the Board of Su- pervisors to appoint either an architect or an engineer, but not to create a com- mission. Auditor Wells immediately noti- fled Mayor Phelan and his attorney, Daniel C. Murphy, and together they went to Wells' office, where a hot discussion ensued. General Dickinson read the sec- tion which he has discovered and now the Mayor will attempt to straighten the mat- ter out by having the board appoint one | of the present commission a chief engi- neer and empower him to employ assist- ants. If the present commission had been permitted to proceed any bond issue that might have ensued for sewer pur- poses would have been invalid. —_——————— Pastal Officials for Manila. F. L.

HARRY COOPER THINKS HE WAS A GOOD THING GUARANTEED A $12 BILL AND IS SUED FOR $1200. Claims He Was Fooled by David Bloom, the Artist, and Phil Montague. Harry R. Cooper of Cooper's bookstore, 746 Market street, thinks that he has been made the victim of misplaced confidence. His establishment was attached on Sat- urday afternoon in a suit for $1200 filed by the Sunset Photo-engraving Company. fhe matter involves the publication of the history of the First California Regi- ment, with which Cooper says he had nothing to do except to befriend ihe pub- lishe David Bloom, the artist, and Phil Montague, ex-secretary of the Press Clu According to Mr. Cooper’s story Mon- tague rushed into his place some months ago and told him that the Sunset people had $12 worth of cuts for the book which they refused to surrender without the cash or a guarantee that it would be paid. Cooper wrote a note to the firm _hat he would stand good for whatever Moantague had there. No amount was specified, right there is where Cooper thinks he made a blunder that promises to be ex- pensive. On the strength of his note the Photo-engravers turned out $1200 worth of work for Bloom & Montague. When the bill was presented to Cooper and his at- tention called to the guarantee he was dumfounded and refused payment. Hence the suit. “If 1 owed the money,” said Mr Cooper, “T would pay it in a minute, but it was my understanding that I was only guar- anteeing $12. The matter will be fougnt in the courts. ‘The attachment was released yesterday morning. ————————— CITY HOSPITAL LOTS. to San Francisco. The city of San Francisco has won in its actions against Honora Sharp, Eliza M. Sharp and John H. Dunham. The ac- tions were to quiet title to a tract of land which was dosl%}na(ed on the Van Ness map of 186 as ‘“‘hospital lots,” and which Was originally part of the pueblo lands of the city within the corporate lands as Jefined in 1851. The land was included in the scope of the Van Ness and other or- dinances relating to the disposition of pueblo lands, and which wers ratified by the Legislature of March, 1858. of the tract, and the possession su held their predecessors in interest since a time rendered judgment declaring tha is the owner of the land in suit n trust for the use and benefit of the people of the State of California and the inhabitants of the city and county of San Francisco for the purposes of a public hospital,” and that the defendants have no rights or in- terest in any part of the same. ————————— ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A Despondent Restaurant KXeeper Turns on the Gas. Because his wife took apartments on another floor of his lodging house H. Le Blanc, proprietor of the Saddle Rock re taurant, 115 Stockton street, attempted to end his life early yesterday morning in his sleeping room. The despondent catarer turned on the gas on retiring shortly after midnight, and had it not been for the vigi- lance of the night clerk, who knew that Le Blanc and his wife were not on s suicide would t. During, the day Le Blanc and his wite quarreled. Mrs. Le Blanc proved her hus- band's master in the wordy war which fol- lowed, and to even matters Le Blanc spent an hour_or two_cutting her clothes to shreds. Mrs. Le Blanc occupied a room in another part of the house to annoy her husband. When the night clerk, who smelled the escaping gas. broke into Le Blanc’s room he found baoth jets turned full on. Le Blanc resented this visit as an intrusion and_attempted to claim that the night clerk and special officer turned on the gas when (heg" entered the room.
