E00D CITIZENS WILL NOT BEND 10 BOSS YOKE Kelly's Convention Is Dis- credited by Clean, Fear- less Republicans. A 2 2 Elaborate Preparations to Open Cali- fornia Campaign for McKinley and Roosevelt at Mechanics’ Pavilion To-Night. There Is a chance 1n politics for honest men to get their dues, for, strange as it may seem, the bosses have fallen out. The henchmen of Burns are reviling Mar- | | tin Kelly, and rounders that infested the Mint saloon are saying hard things of the Burns push. The cause of the trouble is traced to the wild cavorting of Kelly in the Republican Municipal Convention at nai B'rith Hall Wednesday afternoon. he followers of Burns assert that Kelly had no warrant for intruding his person- ality, as the programme provided that the Ruef roilcall should be accepted without quibbling. It is contended by the critics of Kelly that a sufficient number of votes had been piedged to Bergerot to Secure the latter's election, hence Martin Kelly's exhibition of boss effrontery was uncailed for and disastrous. The decree has gone forth from the Burns corral that must be turned down publicly and s Iy rebuked for glaring and pernicious ac- tivity on the floor of the convention. Kelly Wanted to Impress Herrin. Another ry, and one that seems plausible, is to the effect that Kelly de- itberately took the wind from the sall# of Dibble, Lynch and Goldberg so that he could sail up to Herrin and present Ber- gerot as the product of Mint saloon boss- ism. Kelly has no special love for Burns. It is quite well known that Burns regards Kelly as a “lobster” in politics and never fails to advise Herrin that Kelly is not i to be trusted in handling boodle for Supervisors and legislators. elly resents the Mexican's assumption of superiority and virtue. In Kelly’s catalogue B Telegram Lynch is rated as the slowest lobster in the bunch. Kelly’s motive, therefore, in displaying his strength on the floor of the convention was to impress Herrin with the notion that he could man- age affairs without the assistance of Burns, Lynch and Dibble. Boss Ticket Would Be Repudiated. It 1s acknowledged all around that Kelly has the convention, but the question is, What is he going to do with it? Hun- areds of weli-known Republicans assert that it is so thoroughly discredited that a tcket put forth under its auspices would be instantly repudiated and reject- ed by the masses of the party. It 1s reportea that orfers of compromise will be made to the decent elements of the | convention, but the anti-boss forces- of the County Commitiee resolved at the outset thatl they would never compromise with fraud and crime. Comparison of rec- ords since the adjournment of the conven- | tion shows that Bergerot's election was obtained by false counting. The boss dei- egations in voting under the unit rule put Chairman Bouvier refused to allow application of this rule in the voting of anti-boss delegations. In the Forty-second District Wilson was de- prived of ten votes by the ruling of Bou- vier: Anti-Boss Forces to Caucus. A_caucus of the anti-boss forces will probably be beld early next week. The course 1o be pursued in the future may be ghaped by thc expression of the best Re- ublican gentiment. The Call has stead- astly maintained from the beginning that the workingmen, merchants, professional men and taxpay niecm"m of Republican taith could never marched to the polls under the banner of Kelly, Crimmins, Lyrch and Dibble. Clean nominations by ention are demanded. There is a widespread and growing sentiment among Republicans in favor of independ- ent action in the cause of good govern- mert and clean politics. Twenty-Ninth District The Twenty-ninth District Democratic Club had an enthuciastic meeting at the headquarters on l}%“h':n street, near e Fourth, last night. was crowded with residents of the district attracted by the announcement t candidate for Congre d speak. Mr. Ashe was receiv great en- thusiasm, but excused himself from mak- ing an extended address on the issues of the day, as he had promised to reserve his “first regular campaign speech for his own Assembly district. He thanked the dele- gates from the Twenty-ninth District for standing by him in the convention and assured his auditors that in him they did not have a dude candidate, as he was born and reared south of Market street. Assemblyman Wardell also made a short | address. ' Before Ashe's arrival £, Murphy, one of the candidates for the Democratic nomination for Justice of the Peace, made = stirring speech. Determined efforts were made to defeat | Hon, C. M. Belshaw for the .Republican | nomination for the Senate in the district | comprised by the counties of Marin and | Contra Costa. The opposition to Mr. Bel- shaw came chiefly from the Southern Pa- cific Company. ~In the Legislature he| was independent and outspoken. When | orders were given by the rallroad for Re- at R. Porter Ashe, | publican Assemblymen to fall into line | | and support Burns for the United States | Senate, Mr. Belshaw firmly refused to obey. In the campaign preceding the re- cent primary election for delegates to the nominating convention Mr. Belshaw sub- mitted a plain statement of facts to the people of his Senatorial district, and they sustained his course in the Assembly by electing delegations favorable to his nom- | ination for the Senate. In a fair contest| | he won and received the nomination. { The political agents of the Southern Pa- cific are now casting about for a Demo- | cratic nominee to oppose Mr. | Jere Burke, speaking_ for the railroad, is| | making overtures to J. M. Mekins of Ma- rin County. In order to persuade Mr. | Mekins to enter the race against Belshaw, the promise of Southern Pacific support is tendered. No doubt the bosses and po- | litical agents of the railroad will put up a | | strong Democratic fight against Mr. Bel- | shaw. It has been demonstrated that he ! will not take programme orders. and is Belshaw. | therefore not the kind of a man that the | railroad wants in the Legisiature. Great Meeting at the Pavilion.

Relations Between the British Em- pire and the Secret Service De- partment of the Pacific Coasct Seriously Strained. o Al oS The friendly relations hitherto existing between her imperial Majesty’s British empire and United States Secret Service have become seriously strained, and there is likely to be an open rupture between the two. Acting British Vice Consul Moore is blamed by Chief Hazen for the combined comminuted fracture of the diplomatic entente. “He wanted to put me on a level with a British constable,” said Chief Hazen yesterday. I had been engaged by the British Government to take Julian Tre- | | genna » Biddulph Arnold to London, and | now Mr. Moore says that I must travel second class, because the British con- stabulary travel that way. I am a little higher than a British constable, and I told him so. My district embraces the States of California, Nevada and Arizona, which cover territory three or four times larger than the whole of England. Sec- ond class, indeed!” Chief Hazen took an active part in the capture of Arnold and earned the grati- tude of British Consul Pickersgill. The Consul suggested to the British Embas- sador at Washington that Chief Hazen should be selected to take Arnold back to London, and the British Embassador re- (uested Chief Wilkie to give Chief Hazen the necessary permission. It was given and Chief Hazen had his wardrobe packed in readiness for a hurry start as soon as the extradition order was issued by the Secretary of State. When United States District Judge de Haven_dismissed the writ of habeas cor- us a few days ago Chief Hazen spoke to Fice Consul Moore about the trip. Then | the Vice Consul made the shocking re- mark about the second-class passage and the British constabulary. Chief Hazen re- he was no second-class man— that the United States Government did not. expect its officials to travel second class and that he would go first class or A_day or two later Mr. Moore agreed that Mr. Hazen might ride in a Puliman from San Francisco to New York and that the prisoner would be taken from that port to England by two constables from Scotland Yard. Chief Hazen replied that he would go as agent clear to London if he went at all, and he gave Mr. Moore notice that the “incident was closed” so far.as he was concerned. So, after all, the English girls will not have an opportunity of admiring the curl- ing mustache of the secret service agent. —*“The American Porter’’—The name describes the color but only one who has tasted it can describe the flavor.

INGLESIOE MAY BE LEASED T THE NEW CLUB Stormy Session of Stock- holders to Decide the Question. e R Committee of Three Chosen to Rec-| ommend Terms and Conditions. Henry J. Crocker Removed as Director. P A The stockholders of the Pacific?Coast | Jockey Club have taken one of the most significant steps in the history of their corporation, and one which seems deeply significant to the interests of horse racing in this State. At a stormy meeting, in which every measure was bit- terly fought by an aggressive minority, the stockholders voted conditionally to lease the Ingleside track to the San Fran- cisco Jockey Club, the new association or- | ganized under the direction and presi- dency of Prince Poniatowski and now controlling Tanforan Fark. In voting to give this lease the stock- holders appointed a committee of three to pass upon terms and conditions and re- port its recommendations yesterday to the main body. A meeting was held, but nothing was done, and now the minority claims that no lease has been determined | upon and that the whole proceeding is | irregular and illegal. Tue majority in- | sists that the committee has unquestion- ed power to act, present its suggestions and leave them to the ratification of the stockholders. | ‘ Incidental to the main business of the | first meeting was another of importance— | the summary removal of enry J. Crocker as a director of the Pacific Coast | Jockey Club by the directors and the elec- tion of Hall McAllister in his stead. The | | remarkable fact was discovered that the | books of the association showed that| ‘ Henry J. Crocker does not possess a single share of stock and is In consequence with- | out right to act as a director. The first and stormy meeting of the stockholders was held on Wednesday | with M. F. Tarpey In the chair and the follo F. H. Green, Charles Gregg Jr., Wil- ister, Henry Ach, . L ak. Henry Ach acted for himself, A. F. Uliman and Pat- | rick Dunne. William Argus represented M. A. Gunst as well as himself, and Louis Lissak represented Thomas H. Williams Jr. Upon roll call it was shown that 4103 shares out of a total of 4%2 were repre- | sented by the owners or by proxies. Of the 89 shares which were not represent- ed at the meeting, 700 were in the name | of the notorious Edward Corrigan. | “As soon as the meeting opened it was | | seen that a stubborn minority, represent- | | ed persistently by Henry Ach and occa- sionally by Louis Lissak, was present. | This minority held 1159 shares of stock and necessarily was defeated upon every point. But Ach was persistent to the enc fighting every measure, even that which | called the meeting to order. He objected | | to the meeting on the ground that no | | legal notice had been given. He was over- | ruled. He objected to the reception of | | Gunst’s proxy and again was outvoted. Hall McAllister asked if it were not | true that Director Henry J. Crocker did | I not own a share of stock in the corpora- tion. He was told that Crocker owned no | stock according to the books. McAllister | moved therefore that Crocker's seat as a | director be declared vacant and that his | successor be elected to the vacancy. Lis- sak seconded the motion, and Ach ob- jected to the entire proceeding, claiming that the stockholders had no sight to cre- ate a vacancy or fill one in the directory. McAllister's motion prevailed and Henry J. Crocker ceased to be a director. L;icn ! motion of Angus and the second of 15— | ner, McAllister was elected to fill the va- | cancy. | | . Then came the struggle over the main | business of the session—the lease of In- | | gleside track to the San Francisco Jockey Club. Angus declared that he had re- ceived a paper, which he proceeded to read. It was a proposed agreement be- tween the Pacific Coast Jockey Club and the San Francisco Jockey Club in which | the former leased to the latter the prop- | erty known as the Ingleside track. It was| explained that the lease would be for ten years and that the San Francisco Jockey Club would guarantee to the Pacific Coast Jockey Club a 4 per cent annual Interest upon its investment and an adequate in- surance upon its property. Ach moved that the document be laid upon the table. His motion was lost, and tHe lease was | | before the stockholders for their consid- | eration. Ach objected to the lease on the ground that no stated sum of money was as- sured; that the San Francisco Jockey Club was not sufficiently identified, and that the Pacific Coast Jockey Club had no | right to lease its property. These and a | score of other objections in like vein he | made, and then McAllister moved that the | Pacific Coast Jockey Club lease its prop- erty to the San Francisco Jockey Club | and that the terms and conditions of the lease be submitted to a committee of three to pass upon the lease and make recom | mendations at an adjourned meeting of | the stockholders. This motion was sec- onded by Misner and Gregg and was car- { red, Ach, Dunne, Ullman and Williams voting in ‘the negative. | The president being authorized to ap- oint the committee of three, he chose MecAllister, Angus and Ach. Ach declined | to ‘serve and Lissak was selected. He | also refused, and there being no one else | in the minority Wellington Gregg Jr. was | | chosen. He resigned in favor of Charles | A. Gardner, who accepted. After a serles of questions propounded by Ach it was then explained that no final action whatever had been taken in refer- | ence to a lease. A committee of three had | simply been appointed to suggest terms | and conditions and a report must be made to the stockholders for their considera- tion. Ach asked the committee if every one of them had not already fully deter- mined to lease the property of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club to the San Francisco | Jockey Club by virtue of directions ob- taired from Prince Ponlatowski. Angus repifed that he would answer fully when he made his report to the adjourned meet- | "Fhat aajourned meeting was hela yester- day, but it also adjourned without accom- | plishing anything, and_there the affair | rests for the present. The Pacific Coast | Jockey Club has voted to lease its Ingle- | side property conditional upon the report | of a committee in reference to terms. That | committee is not yet ready to suggest terms.
