SAN JOSE, May 15.—Next Monday the voters of San Jose must determine | whether the gang yoke will be stricKen | from their necks, or whether the city must run along in the same old rut, with gang politiclans dominating its municipal affairs. For years San Jose has suffered | from the rule of political bosses, and hun- dreds of home-seekers have been driven | from the city because of the expensive- | ness and highhandedness of the city | officials. The citizens’ committee of one | hundred 1is determined this order of ilhlngs shall change, and they have ap- [ pealed to the voters to support thelr | ticket, headed by Edwards for Mayor, so | that San Jose may enjoy the boom that {1s sure to follow the closing of the gap and the completion of the coast road this fall. The issue of the city campaign is gang or anti-gang, and no voter can dodge the fssue. One must either be for progress and a greater San Jose or else bow 1o the Rea or Mackenzle forces that have so lon, rupted the schools and Fire and Police departments. When the voters step to the ballot-box Monday it will be |'a battle royal between Edwards and | Martin, and everything points to the success of the former. Both sides have opened headquarters. | The citizens' committee has rooms in the Knox block, while Mayor Martin has given the gan, a storeroom in his 1 | | | us&of block, the Bristol, on South Second street. The gang is making desperate efforts to line up backsliders. Business men being importuned and even threatened. Precinct meetings have been inaugurated, and small boys and ward-heelers are finding profitable employment as spec tors. A long list of gang committee- men has been published. but even some of the old standbys have left the party, and others in the list have hastened around to the citizens' headquarters and announced that their names had been used without authority. The gang has appointed special whips to see that the employes of the various city | departments are in line. For the past | two years members of the Fire Depart- ment were compelled to work six weeks for nothing, policemen three weeks and yol teachers and janitors also forced e some of their salarles because the funds were empty. All this time Martin’s son, H. J. Martin, was | May s | enjoying the greatest sinecure of the city etary of the Police and Fire Com- slon, at $1200 per year.

TOPEKA, Kans., May 15.—The real is- | sue in the Republican State Convention, which will assemble here at 11 o'clock to- morrow, will be the selection of a chair- man of the State committee to succeed Morton Albaugh, who i= a candidate for | re-election. Albaugh is identified with the Leland element of the party and is being vigorously opposed by the so-called anti- | boss faction. There is a_contest for only one place on the ticket—that of Congressman at large. Charles F. Scott of Iola and D. W. Blaine of Pratt are the candidates, with the | chances in favor of the former. The anti-Leland delegates to the num- ber of 321 held a caucus this afternoon and decided to carry the fight over the State committee Into the convention and at- tempt to overturn the old custom of per- mitting the committee to choose its chair- man. They are, however, divided on the | issue, It is understood that Cyrus Leland is | not a candidate for re-election as nation- | al committeeman and it is probable that A. Low will be elected. | The resolutions will indorse the na- | tional administration in every particular and the delegates to Philadelphia will be instructed to vote for the renomination of President McKinley.

KANSAS CITY, May 15.—The Republi- can Btate Convention to-day got no fur- ther In their deliberations than to effect | a temporary organization and name com- mittees. This they accomplished at the morning session. The afternoon session was en up with speech-making and a lively fight over a motion to escort Web- ster Davis to the platform to address the gathering. The most important incident of the day was the withdrawal from the race for delegates at large of Major Willlam War- ner of Kansas City, who, In answering a |eall for & speech.’ declared emphatically | that he would not permit his name to be | used in this connection. He understood, | he sald, that his candidacy has caused | friction and this he wished to avold. With the added reiteration of National | Committeeman Kerens that he would un- der no circumstances become a delegate at large the fight for these honors, which {s the principal one of the convention, was simplified.

President Bolce appointed committees. At the morning session of the Western Labor Union President Danial McDonald read his annual address and appointed | commitiees. He spoke of the necessity of | organization and concerted action on the part of the wage earners to solve the problems of the day. He sald of the Coeur d'Alene investigation at Washing- ton: “The committee appointed by Congress to investigate this horrible affair has | been informed far enough to establish | the truth of all the tales of deviltry on the part of the national and.

LOUIS, May 15—The distinguished feature In the street car situation to-day was a riot which broke out on the open- ing of the Grand avenue line of the St. Louls transit system, during the progress of which twc men were shot. At night- fall the Transit Company and its 3600 striking employes were no nearer an ad- justment of their differences than they were at the same time yesterday. The officlais of the rallroad company, mem- bers of the employes’ grievance commit- tee and the president o were in sesslon for five hours to-day in an endeavor to reconcile the differences. No agreement was arrived at and they will meet again to-morrow afternodfi in an _effort to accomplish something. The Suburban Company, pursuant. to the agreement effected yesterday with its striking employes, ran on_full schedule day and night. This is the first time since the strike began on the road that a night schedule was maintained. Five lines were operated during the day by the Transit Company, all shutting down at dark. Very irregular schedules were maintained on these lines. The trouble on the Grand avenue line occurred at Eastern avenue about 4 o'clock. Stones and boards plled upon the tracks caused a blockade of a half dozen or more cars. Each car was man- ned by a crew and six policemen. When the policemen got down to remove the obstructions they were eted by cries of ‘“‘scab!” from a crowd of strikers and their sympathizers. A volley of stones followed and in retaliation shots were fired from several of the cars. John Flat- ley, a striking motorman, had his spine shattered by a bullet, and Joseph Tren- , an onlooker, was shot in_the hi Flatley is seriously hurt. B. B.

Elliott Swallows Broken Glass in a Vie- toria Courtroom. —_— | Member of a Titled Family Charged With Forgery and Feared Gen- eral Publicity of His Position. —— e Spectal Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., May 15.—A dramatic climax to the proceedings against John T. Elliott, who claims to be related to Lord Minto, and Is charged with forgery, took place this morning, when the prisoner made an attempt on his life in the police dock. Elliott is a brother of Str Henry Elliott and a scion of the house to which the present Governor General belongs. He has had no correspondence with his triends and his chief concern lay in con- cealing his disgrace from them. He con- fessed, when arrested, that he had made up his mind to commit suicide, but con- cluded that such a course would only add publicity to the matter and bring it to the eara of his folks in England. It was the impression that his crime was about to be made public that finally led to the step which has placed his life in imminent dmier. When the case was called this morning it was noticed that Elliott kept his atten- tlon riveted upon George Powell, was to be called after that of Elliott. Mr. Powell was writing letters in the In- terim and Elliott jumped to the conclu- sion, as he afterward confessed, that Mr. Powell was a reporter, and that’ his al- leged offense was about to be paraded be- fore the public. He had decided previ- ously what he would do in certain given circumstances, and the spectators noticed that he began to take something from his pocket and transfer it to his mouth. At this point the court mentioned that he would call anoher witness. Elliott replied: “What's the use? You don’t want any more. I might as well tell you that there is a change of venue or- dered in this case and that it will be be- fore a higher assize in a few hours.” De- ve Palmer had noticed that Elliott appeared to be chewing something and accordingly asked him if it was tobacco. “I'm chewing, but it's not tobacco,” re- sponded the prisoner, and the detective's suspicions were aroused. Consequently the man was removed from the dock, when it was found that he had been deliberately chewing broken glass in order to destroy his life. He had obtalned a bottle in jall and this was broken into pleces which he had secreted in his pocket and with which he hoped to circumvent the ways of justice. save the life of the prisoner, but the lat- ter assured him that there was no use of trying to do anything. as he had read a book on suicide and knew exactly how to roceed about it.
