County Clerk Jordan took refuge | behina t ement that neither his acts of two rs ago for Victor H.

Dalton this year he offered Metcalf, but he has not expressed a opinion’ as to whether they were “smooth’” take advantage of the offer. 3 8o the County Clerk, despite his friend- | ship for Mr. Metcalf two years ago and nis friendship for Mr Dalton this year, asserts that he is impartial in the use of his office for “doing politics,” and that | the “other side” has always had an even | break at-the Great Register. | the Alameda County Clerk's office be- comes an interesting study in the methods | of “doing” private politics without com- wng in dangerous conflict with the law. | So Mr. Jordan has succeeded in attract- | ing to himeelf many of the bricks that | bave been poised in the air ready for huri- | ing at somebody and they are being hurled at the County Clerk. He has drawn the fire of both sides, for those who are using him and his office to-day were against ! bim atier the last primery, and those who | were friendly to him then are against | him now. | But in addition to the partisans of the | two contending factions there is a large mass of voters in Alameda County. It is made up of men of the better class and of a high grade of intelligence, and they are the men who have an idea that the| County Clerk’s office is for the purpose of conducting public business and not for a private campaign bureau.

This is all being sent out by messengers, a | fear existing that the ~postoffice might | become blocked with the matter and 1t | might faill of dellvery before the pri- | maries. There were eleven workers there to-day, and they had all been sworn in as Deputy County Clerks, though under pay from Henry P, Dalton and not by the county. The men are at work in the ‘Register room” of the Hall of Records, attached to the County Clerk’s office. In’this room is kept the new Great Register, and it is from this that the men are sending out the_literature. There will be no further action by the Board of Supervisors. The primary will be over by the time the next meeting is held, and the matter will then be dropped, To-day was a day of explanations and aenials from all sides. Even County Clerk Jordan was out makiog o few explana- tons. Judge Emil Nusbaumer to-night made the following reply to the charges made ngx;nst him by County Clerk Jordan yes- terday: “1Tave been interested and am still in- terested in the candidacy of Mr. Metcalf for Confirels. but when any one says that either Mr. Metcalf or myself have in- dulged in any improper actions to ad- yance his candidacy they speak a false- 00/ “It is true that we had issued several thousand certificates two years ago, but less than half were used, and none ‘were used for anything except legitimate pur- poses.

The total value of the eState cannot be learned until the liabilities have been ac- | counted for._It is said to be in the nelgh- | borhood of $500,000. The estate consists of large real estate holdings in various sec- tions of the State, stocks, bonds, cash in bank and a number of minor personal se- curities. The balance of the estate, after deduct. | ing that to be paid to the housekeeper, is equally divided randchildren of the decedent. » i and Laura Voorman are to receive one-sixth of the estate; Viola Willett, wife of W.

Miss Tompkins left her home at 1900 Van Ness avenue early yesterday morn- ing, saying she was going to the beach to get a picture of the life-saving crew. That was the last Miss Tompkins' aged mother saw of her until she heard of | her sudden demise, all the particulars of which were given by the life-savers. From the facts gleaned from the life- saving crew it would appear that the in- structress, intent on securing a good pic- ture and heedless of her surroundings, was overtaken by the rolling surf ar | knocked down. The water swept over her and left her wet and dripping and prone upon the sands. The shock was | apparently too great for the weakened condition of Miss Tompkins® heart, and | being unable . _another breaker | rushing in carried the unfortunate woman out to sea.

Miss Tompkins is the daughter of the late Judge Tompkins and numbered | among her friends some of the most prominent families of the State. She was Flora Sharon, and the warmest relations are known to have existed between them. The late teacher's mother {8 a wealthy woman and her sister, Mrs. Lehmann, {s a woman of vast means. Miss Tomp- kins, however, desired to be independent and chose teaching as a means to that end. She was about 45 years of age. “Easily Gratified.
