XKelly and an excited barber named Calish wanted Guilfoyle to put the uestion to a vote on his rollcall, and Kelly even lost his head and appointed Gulifoyle chairman of the convention, but the appointment was not recognized. “I ask that the police restore order,” Ruef shouted. “We cannot do things in this highhanded way in a ublican con- tion.

Mix-Up on the Floor, The rollcall began. The Twenty-eighth istrict gave 9 votes for Bergerot, the Twenty-ninth 11 for Wilson, the Thir- tieth 11 for Bergerot, the Thirty-first 9 for Bergerot, the Thirty-second 8 for Berge- rot and 1 for Wilson, the Thirty-third 13 for Wilson, the Thirty-fourth 17 for Wil- son, the Thirty-fitth 9 for Wilson and 4 for Bergerot, the Thirty-sixth 9 for Ber- gerot and two for Wilson, the Thirty-sev- enth 1 for Wilson and 18 for Bergerot, the Thirty-eighth 1% for Bergerot, the Thirty- ninth 11 for Bergerot and 4 for Wilson, the Fortieth 18 for Wilson and 1 for Bergerot and the Forty-first 18 for Bergerot. When the Forty-second District was called Adrian Smith attempted to an- nounce the vote. A. H. Becker, a member of the opposition delegation, not on the lcall, tried to make Smith sit down and made a motion as if to strike him. Smith struck back and landed on Becker's jaw. A policeman In the front of the hall made a rush for the belliger- ents and fell down on the slippery, saw- dust-covered floor. _Another policeman seized Smith from behind and they went down in a heap. It looked as if a general melee would follow, and the greatest confusion pre- vailed for some minutes. Quiet was flnally restored and the roll of the Forty-second District_delegates was called. ey cast 4 votes for Wilson. The Forty-thi ave Wilson 10 votes, the Forty-fourth 12 for Wilson and 1 for Bergerot and the Forty- fifth § for Bergerot. It wes announced that the vote was 105 for Bergerot and 103 for Wilson. Bouvier declared Bergerot elected, and the tri- umphant Kelly-Crimmins henchmen cheered long and loud. Bouvier apvointed Martin Kelly and Abe Ruef to escort Mr. Bergerot to the chair. Ruef balked at first, but finally accepted the duty with good grace. Kelly enjoyed the sitvation and Bergerot didn't seem to min t. On motion of James A. Wilson Berge- rot’s election was made unanimous. 'lsha - elected temporary chairman made a - h t nking the convention for the honor that it had bestowed upon him en- tirely unsolicited on his part. He hoped that’ differences in the convention would be adjusted and that the party would pre- sent a solid front to the enemy. Thomas K. Kase nominated Dr. T. H. Morris for temporary secretary. Frank French nominated A. B. Mahoney, whom he designated as a “secretary by ‘profes- sion. On motion of A. Ruef both were de- clared elected, and the convention will have a secretary in duplicate. On motions the chairman was authorized 6 appoint a committee of fifteen on cre- dentlals, one of eighteen on permanent or- ganization and order of business and one of eighteen on platform and resolutions Chatrman asked that an ad- {onmment be taken so that he ht have to select the commitiees, con- vention accordingly adjourned till Thurs- 5, s September 20, at m. day, - PRACTICAL POLITICS. Incidents of the Convention of Boss and Anti-Boss Elements. Jack MecNamara of the Twenty-ninth Dist came into the convention hall a few minutes after the door was opened \d found Leon Samuels of the contesting :legates in the chair which he consic ed his own. He asked the Kelly del gate to move out, but Samuels refused to give up the chair. McNamara took Sam- uels by the collar, lifted him clear and sat him down on the floor. He then sat com- placently down in the empty chair, and it is reedless to say he W not disturbed. Abe Ruef did not appreclate the honor 1g. appointed to act with Martin elly in escorting Bergerot to the chair. At first he declined to act. Kelly came past Ruef's seat with Bergerot and the latter made a personal appeal to Ruef not to refuse him the courtesy. “I hope vou haven't any personal rea- son_for refusing,” Bergerot said. “No, I do not object to you personally, but 1 do not like your company,” Ruet lied. T“PBut go ahead with Kelly and I will fol- low along behind.” And far as file edge of the platform, while Martin Ki chair with great gusto. . A.

Smith had promised to have his delegation of four- teen present. All of them were for Wil- son, but only four of them were there to give him their support. - GUNG’S DEATH WAS NOT CAUSED BY ACCIDENT Injuries Received by Him in the Railroad Accident Not at All Serious. Morgue Surgeon Leland made an au- topsy yesterday upon the body of Gee Rior- n. Fung Gung and was unable to discover | anything but natural causes to produce | death. Gung was driving his laundry wagon across the electric railway track on Bryant street on August 31 and col- lided with a car. The wagon was over- turned and Gung was thrown out, recelv- ing bruises which confined him to his bed | in the washhouse until he died. No bones were broken and there were no evidences of gangrene. The stomach and contents were sent to the city chemist for analysis. It is probable that Gung’'s death ‘was caused by improper treatment and fright. fir bl e Ao Schaertzer Would Not Prosecute.

As was expected, the Board of Educa- tlon yesterday suspended Ebenezer Knowlton from his position as vice prin- cipal of the Everett Grammar School for one year without pay.

Knowlton will now take the matter to the courts.

UNCLAIMED MISSIVE IN THE TRACY HOTEL Sheriff Gives Up the Murder Theory, but His Deputies Do Not, and Are at Work on New Lines. e e Spectal Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Sept. 12.—“The only new thing to-day in the Mahony case is that there is a letter at the Tracy hotel addressed to James Ma- hony, bearing the sending date of September 10. That has added an- other element to the affair. It may not be for the dead man, but it has not been called for, and we have rea- son to believe it is for him. It would be very interesting for us to know what is in that missive, as his folks disclaimed all knowledge of where he was and they seem to be very apathetic in the matter of the investi- gation. All information from them has been very unsatisfactory. We want to see the letter, and eventually I believe we shall know its contents.” The foregoing are the words of District Attorney Ashley of San Joaquin County, when questioned in reference to new d velopments In the case of J.-H. Mahony whose body was found near Tracy Mon- day, and who, apparently, had been mur- dered. the mystery of the San Franciscan's death. Mahony’s wife and family claimed they did not know where he had gone. Three Puzzling Quaestions. Then: Who is the writer of the letter, that was evidently intended for the dead man? What business was it that brought Ma- hony to Tracy? Who is the owner of the torn linen col- lar_found near the body? These are things that the officers are trying to find out. — Ag for Sheriff Sibley, he no longer be- lleves that Mahony was murdered, but this conclusion on the part of the of- ficlal does not in the least clear the mys- tery surrounding the violemt death of the young San Franciscan. While the Sheriff discountenances the theory of foul play, he Is at the same time devoting his personal attention to an investigation of the case, Although the relatives of the dead man say his departure from San Francisco was sudden and unknown to them some one must have known of his destination, for there is a letter at Tracy for J. H. Mahony. Of course the name 18 a com- mon one and it may be for a namesake, but no one is known of that name in the railroad town. The Sheriff has been to San Francisco on the case, but was unable to find out anything bearing upon it other than has already been related in The Call. “I can find no possible motive for foul play,” says the Sheriff. ‘“Mahony was not a man given to excess in liquor or eccentricities. 1 cannot account for his presence in Tracy. nor can I learn of any thing of a business nature liable to bave called him there.” tallen from the dragging himself over to the roadside be- fore he succumbed to his Injuries. But in order to do this he must have walked seventy-five feet and climbed a fence, and this with a broken neck. Working on New Lines. A report made by Deputy Sheriff Wall, who made the first investigation of the case, suggesgs another theory, upon which the officialsVare working. It Is that Ma- hony was murdered or mortally wounded and then taken to and thrown out by the roadside, where he was found. At 5:30 Monday morning a dalryman and a com- panion_ drove over the d and did not see the bedy. About 7 o'clock a boy named Mason, who was passing in a cart, discovered the body from his rig tried to arouse the man. declares tha The boy went to report to the Consta The milkman, returnirg an hour lates saw the remains and notice from the Con- stable to keep hands off 1ll the Coroner arrived. The buggy tracks are account- ed for by the boy who drove up to the remains, but there are tracks of a cart that show that some one drove to the spot out of the road leading to Bethany, coming around to the open space between the forks of that and the Livermore road and back on to the other road. At the spot where Mahony was found the tracks were obliterated by Mahony’s body. The boy did not pass over tnat route. The belt and collar which were found over toward the railroad track may have been purposely placed theré to suggest the theory that the deceased had fallen from the train.
