He joined the de- partment December 16, 1894, being as- signed to engine 1, but the following year was transferred to engine No. 28. His name is in the “book of meritorious con- duct.” On the morning of August 15, 1596, while going to his home at 21% Sheridan street he saw flames issuing from the rear of a building at 1014 and 1016 Bryant street. He sent word by a milkman to the engine- house and rushed into the building to alarm the sleeping inmates. An old couple, John and Maria Brodie, were unable to look after themselves and Sweeney car- ried them to the rear stairway, the only means of escape, but it had been burned away.

FUSI | ON TH ON PARTIES E BALLOTS the Pri I Political Divisions Which May and May Not Be Recognized at maries. x| Attorney General Ford Renders Opinion in Re- sponse to Question Submitted by Secretary of State Curry. TTORNEY GENE! FORD, upon the report of Deputy W. M. Abbott, has rendered an opinion of great political import- ance. Upon it Secretary of State Charles | F. Curry will decide political par- | ties are and are not egtitled to be placed | upon the official ballot for the August | election. Mr. Curry made the following | siries: First—Is a political party, only one of whose candidates poll 3 per cent of the | entir€ vote of the State at the election | prior to the State primary to be held in | August, 1900, entitled to a designation and | place upon the official ballot to be used at said primary election? “Second—If a political party polled 3 per cent of the entire vote of the State at the election prior to the State primary to | be neld in August, 1900, but failed to po]l‘\ 3 per cent of the votes cast in any Rail- | road Commissioner, Congressional, Board of Equalization, Senatorial or Assembly district, is such political party entitled to a designation and place upon the official ballot to be used In such district for the election of delegates to nominate officers N ricts? Third—At the last general election ither the Democratic party, the People’s | nor the Siiver Republican party presented any candidate as their sole nominee for either Governor, Lieutenant r, Secretary of State, Controller, Attorney General, Surveyor Clerk of the Supreme’ Court, Su- dent of Public Instruction, Super- of State Printing or Assoclate Justices of the Supreme Court, but two or more of the political parties named either nominated or indorsed the same »n for each of the offices mentioned. ’r these circumstances how am I to ain how many & were palled by of the political parties named or fes are entitled to a on _the primary ted for at the next ction to be held on the second August of this year?” tion to the first guestion, At- eral Ford s in substance r section 1310 of the Political ch is a portion of the new prim- 1 law, it is provided that “all ies who, at the election prior ing ny e primary election hereln provided for, polled at least 3 per cent of the entire vote of the State shall be entitled 3 his vote for any political y. but for candidates nominated by party. Therefore, in order to give complete meaning to this section of the de, it should be made to read as fol- All political parties whose cand- the last election * * * polled at shall be entitied to a desi: nation and place upon the official ballot. computing the 3 per cent of the entire State polled by the candidates | al party it must be upon the numerieally, of the average vote | didates of the respective polit- at such election. The fact is t that any the primary election law equally, for the reason that ba for the can i operate Called Back } $ To Health $ and Happiness. ; Note these recoveries which show the curative power of Dr. McLaughlin’s Electric Belt, And which will strengthen your confidence in my treat- ment. | party its candidates must other construction | RAL TIREY L. |section 1188 of the Political Code provides {that in order to create a new oll “an aver- age of 3 per cent of the entlre vote at the election at which they are voted for.” “If this election be the last election prior to any ensulng primary election,” the opinion continues, “‘there would thén be one test applied to parties already in existence and another and severer test applied to parties of subsequent birth. That is to say, the candidates of the party already In existence, in order to secure a place and designation upon the official primary ballot must have polled 3 per cent of the entire vote of the State at the last preceding election, whereas the newly born party, in order to secure a place and designation_upon the same ballot, must show that its candidates polled ‘an aver- age of 3 per cent of the entire vote of the State at the last preceding election. Un- s quoted are to be ven same construction the law would be neither uniform nor equal In its operation political and would therefore be unconstitutional and void.” In answering the second question the Attorney General says that a political party which polis the requisite number of votes at the election prior to the coming primary but fails to poll 3 per cent of the votes cast in any Railroad Commissioner, Congressional, Board of Equalization, Senatorial or Assembly District is entitled to a place and designation upon the offl- cial primary ballot. Section 1370 of the Political Code provides that the same del- egates comprising the State convention shall be the delegates to the respective conventions to nominate candidates for Ralilroad Commissioners and members of the State Board of Equalization, and that, unless it is otherwise stated, district can- idates for Congress, State Senators and Assemblymen_shall be nominated by the delegates to the State conventign who are from and reside within such respective districts. TUnless the foregoing construc- ten is given to this section these pro- visions would be meaningless. swer to the third question, the At- General cites the case of Hutch- vs. Brown (122 California, page 189), wherein the Supreme Court of this State holds that there is nothing unlawful in fusion; that the statute does not forbid it or attempt to do so, and it is for the conventions of different party organiza- tions to decide for themselves whether their principal objects are so far common and paramount over minor issues as to justify them in uniting upon a list of nominees drawn from all parties so agreeing; and further, that several con- ventions holding separate sesslons do not lose their identity by selecting the same set of nominees. A somewhat similar state of facts arose in Minnesot case of Higkins vs. Berg (76 N. W. 759 The Supreme Court of Minnesota held that where there is no statutory rule for ascertaining the approximate vote polled by the respective parties where there was fusion. the officer charged with the duty of printing and arranging the official bai- lot may resort to any means to_ascer- tain approximately the vote polled by each party which he deems to be faiy and practicable, and unless he acts in | the premises fraudulently or unfairly or | clearly on an improper and prejudical ba- ele, his decision will not be disturbed by the courts. In that case the court uses this language: “For example, he may apportion the combined vote between them on the basis of the average vote polled by each at the general election next before the nomination by them of a duplicate ticket.”” Basing his opinion upon this case, the Attorney General ad- vises that the procedure outlined by the Minnesota court be followed. EXPECT TO HAVE A LARGE AND HAPPY GATHERING Members of St. Peter’s Parish Will Give a Picnic at Los Gatos * To-Morrow. Final arrangements for St. Peter's par- ish pienic, which takes place to-morrow at Los Gatos, have been completed and no pains have been spared to make the affair the record-breaker of the season. The excursion will leave Third and Town- send streets at 9:15 a. m. and the train will make stops at Twenty-second and Harrison and Twenty-fifth and Valencia strets to accommodate Mission guests.

EN ADLER, a Powell-street cigar man, is the first per- son to take advantage of Judge Belcher's now famous “Reno decision.” In June of last year Adler was married to Mrs. Fredericka V, Dunbar, who six weeks before had been divorced from R. H. Dunbar, the husband being the plaintiff and the ground adultery. 4 A few days ago Adler was sued by his Reno wife for divorce on the grounds of extreme cruelty. They had been living at the Marechal Niel Hotel, and on June 9 had, trou- ble, of which the two give differ- ent versions. The lady says that Adler beat her without provoca- tlon, while Ben in his answer, filed yesterday, says that Fredericka drew a razor on him, and that he was compelled to use considerable force in order to get the weapon away from her and protect his life, which he says, was in great dan- ger. Adler has filed a cross-complaint, in which he admits the Reno mar- riage, but denfes that he and the plaintiff are husband and wife. On these “Reno” grounds he seeks to have the suit dismissed and to es- cape having his private troubles heard in court, with the possibility of having to pay alimony and at- torney fees. GRAND GROVE 0F ANCIENT DRUIDS DELIBERATHNG Reports of Officers Are All Most Satisfactory to the Membership. Sassand O O s s s S e anahhaSBBMARNS | | Hopes of the Noble Grand Arch Are Exceeded by More Than One- Half—The Bard’s Degree. S The Grand Grove of California, United Anclent Order of Drulds, opened yester- day morning in its tnirty-sixth annual session in Druids’ Hall on Sutter street with James F. Martinoni, noble grand arch, presiding. There were present all the grand officers and one hundred and eighty-four representatives from the sev- enty-nine subordinate groves In the juris- diction. After the usual impressive ceremonies connected with the opening of the grand body the grand grove degree was con- ferred upon sixty representatives Who were entitled to it A congratulatory letter from Supreme Arch P. Schaffnit of St. Louis and a tele- gram from Deputy Supreme Arch M. A. Beckman of Minneapolis were read and received with applause. The reports of the grand officers were after presentation referred to the commit- tee on distribution, The report of Noble Grand Arch Martin- oni is a lengthy and ablereview of the work done during his administration and of the condition of the order. This shows that during his term the order did not lose a grove; that it gained eight new ones and revived one that had been practically dead for two vears and that the net gain in membership was 1160. The membership now is 5061 In his report the noble grand arch re- turns thanks to all who during his term assisted him in making it the most suc- cessful of that of any noble grand arch in the history of the order. In relation to the press he says: “During the year the press wherever there are groves of Druids has done much to attract public atteption to Druidism by publishing notices of elections, instal- lations, open meetings and official visits. I desire to call specidl attention to the San Francisco Call, which has given in its fraternal department a great deal of space to the proceedings of the order. These no- tices have done the order much good.” Grand Secretary Graves' report is a concige account of the condition of the order, stated principally in figures. In his report he says: “When James F. Martinoni, the noble grand arch, announced at the beginning of the year that _he Intended to make a gain of 500 during his term it was looked upon by many as a vain boast and an utter impossibility. The year has closed and the result is before you, showing a gain of over 1100, which plainly shows what can be done by untiring action and unceasing effort. “My assoclation with J. F. Martinonl, noble grand arch, has been very pleasant indeed. 1 have found him an’ agreeable travellng companion, an energetic, zealous and untiring worker. During the whole year not a harsh word or unkind thought has passed between us and you have the proof before you of the great work he has accomplished.” At the afternoon session the report of the committee on appeals and grievances was discussed and action was taken upon the cases. n the evening there was an_ exemplifi- cation of the ritualistic work of the bard, or second, degree by teams from Laurel, Galileo and Aurora groves in the presence of the grand officers, representatives and those members of the order who have taken the bard's degree. To-day there will be another session and in the evening there will be a grand ball in Odd Fellows’ Hall in honor of the mem- bers of the Grand Grove. To-morrow at 1 a m. the election for grand officers ‘will be held ASKED THAT A COMPLAINT BE FILED AGAINST HER Angelina M. Abbott Causes a Sur- prise When Called for Ar- raignment.

Has a complaint been filed?” asked At- torney Lowenthal when the case was called. The Judge replied in the negative. “Well, 1 insist upon a complaint being filed,” sald the attorney. The Judge was surprised and mildly re- marked, “Do you insist?" Lowenthal promptly replied, “I insist.” The Judge instructed Policeman Winz- ler, the arresting officer, to swear to the complaint, and after it was filed the girl was arraigned on the charge of assault to murder, A continuance was grant until June 2.
