They are now beginning to see the folly of entertaining such hopes, as it is dally becoming more apparent that | | the Mayor intends to have a finger in fill- | ing all the offices under his control, and he is not particular on whose fingers he steps. The latest indication of the tendency of | Mayor Phelan to dictate appointments is | the well authenticated report that he is | determined to insist on the right to name | the secretary of the Fire Commission. All during the recent election, and for the | few days following, it was generally un- | derstood that Secretary George Maxwell | would be retained in this position. There- | fore the announcement that Joseph C. | Gorman has been selected by the Mayor | for the place and that the Fire Commis- | sioners will be forced to do the bidding | of their official creator and accept him, is received with a howl of protests by the friends of the present secretary. Gorman was formerly secretary of the State Board of Examiners, by appoint- ment of Governor Budd, and it is sur- | | mised that his selection to succeed Max- well is the result of a secret compact en- | tered into prior to the nomina- tion and election of Mayor Phe- | lan. No reason is _assigned = for | dropping Maxwell, and his friends de- clare that he wili not retire without a hard battle. They say he is a faithful | and efficient official, and assert that un- der the new charter he cannot be re- moved unless neglect of duty or incompe- tence is shown. In reviewing the appointments made b vor Phelan a few days ago The Call fed that the selections for members of the Fire Commission were not all that could be desired, but expressed the belief that at least two of the members could be depended "g"“ to stand between the department and the political job-chasers. Maxweil has a great many friends in the Fire Department and out of it, and they are being lined up to make a fight for him. They admit that Mayor Phelan may be able to control the votes of the Commissioners and thus be in a position to compel obedience to his will and en- able him to carry out the secret pledges and compacts entered into before the campaign. They are hopeful, however, that two of the Fire Commissioners who are credited with having opinions of their own will refuse to gllow the Mayor to ar. 'MURDEROUS HIGHBINDERS SHOOT DOWN AN INOFFENSIVE CARPENTER Carr, with the assistance of another officer, forced an entrance. Seated in a dilapidated chair was the dead Yuen., Three Chinese were found in the base- ment in which the carpenter had his shop and they were taken into cus- ly. They will be held pending fur- vestigation, although it is not ed they had anything to do with the shooting. The murder of Yuen is the outcome of the bitter feud that at present ex- ists between the rival highbinder tongs. Already several Chinese have fallen victims to the deadly bullets of the hired assassins of both tongs and more are likely to follow. Yuen be- longed to the Suey Sing Tong and was cansldered an Inoffensive Chinaman by the police. Tt is supposed that he incurred the enmity of the rival tongs and a price was placed on his head. A short time before he was mur- dered he told a friend that he knew he was doomed, as he had seen sev- eral notorious highbinders hanging about his shop, evidently bent on add- ing to their bloody records.

Corrigan had taken his customars means stationed In Chinatown to prevent fur- ther trouble. Detective Ed Gibson, who is working on the latest tragedy, believes he knows the assassins and is confident of apprehending them.

It is clearly evident that the Mayor has resolved that no appointments shall he made without consulting him. In other words, the Commissioners he has placed in office are regarded as puppets to be manipulated at his pleasure.

PUZILED OVER SESSION CALL Southerners in Doubt As to the Date. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.—Politicians are to-night in doubt whether to prepare to go to Sacramento next week or the week of January 15. A few of the initiated profess to believe that their Information is accu- rate that Ga{a will issue his proclamation January 8. It transpired to-day that Gage will come to Los Angeles within a week. This information comes from his Los Angeles office. His attaches express the opinfon that an extra session will be called. They have known for some time that Gage would come south and they as- sert that he comes here for the purpose of arranging his private affairs that he may not be disturbed when the extraordinary session opens. From the mass of opinfons that this fact has developed the conclu- slon is sifted that if January 15 should pass and no session be called the reason will be that the practical politiclans will be unable to dellver any more goods than on the final day of last year’s session. Private telegrams that were to-day re- ceived from San Francisco saying that M. H. de Young_ will, in the event of an extra session, be a candidate and that his name will be regularly presented before the caucus, has increased the tension. De Young's friends insist that hé has de- clar to de- that with him it 1s anythin feat Burns and that he will go bofm the people next year should there be no extra | sesssion. continued even te tolerate Corrigan. He had been repudiated by reputable horse- men in other parts of the country and the Oakland people decided to save their own reputations by refusing to be asso- clated with him.

Office-holding | has been reduced to a science. Connected | with the various departments and com- | missions of the State are many fakers who fool the Legisiature and State of- ficers by the preparation of high-sound- ing reports. The impression is given to | the unenlightened that certain men on the payroll, who do not seem to be actively employed, are giving priceless scientific knowledge to the commonwealth. The present war in which the Governor and the State Mlnemlogl:t are engaged | directs attention to the State Mining Bu- | reau. Vast sums of public money have been contributed to sustain this institu- tion, but the practical, every-day miners | laugh at the suggestion that mining de- velopment is promoted by the outlay. Governor Gage recently commissioned W. L. Watts to make expert examina- tion of the mother lode or the oil regions. ‘Watts was appointed tleld assistant of the Mining Bureau by J. J. Crawford when the latter held the position of State Min- eralogist. He was reappointed by the present Mineralogist, Mr. Cooper, and is therefore on the pay roll as an oil expert. Something happened at the State Min- ing Bureau a few weeks ago to _cause in- quiry &s to the whereabouts of Watts. It was rumored that he was living near Los Angeles and drawing down his salary with customary regularity. The rumor was verified by investigation and he w: called upon to make a report of his ob- servations in the field, as he had not re- Eorled for two years and a half. At first e resented the suggestion as an invasion of his rights as a fleld assistant. He | yielded ultimately and flled a_report of eighty-six typewritten pages. If this re- Tt is not worth 38000 the State has been S‘:bbed. because Watts has been paid sal- ary and expenses aggregating that B amount, and the precious document is Ny the only known result of the outlay. - The Call has not had the opportunity of lnsguctlng the ore document recently filled, but is willing to wager that it is no better than a report made by Watts to State Mineralogist Crawford on August B A small amount will be wagered that the present is no better than the former report and a big sum is laid that it is no worse. All information of value in the former report could have been obtained for $200.
