There is no doubt that the caucus will take steps to select a chairman other than Bergerot. It is clearly understood that the Republicans of San Francisco will spurn nominations made by a boss convention. If the delegates fall to re- pudiate the bosses, the voters will repu- diate the ticket put forward by the con- ventfon. It was said frankly last night that the convention should be absolutel anti-boss or openly a boss-controlled body In every district of San Francisco the | good citizens of Repubiican faith are ad- vocating an open walk-out if the conven- tion is not wrested from boss control. The strength of the anti-boss element in the convention will be determined by the ¢aucus to-morrow night. The vote cast for Kelly and Crimmins candidates was reported at 105, but it is now known ths Kelly’s men in’ voting under the unit rule made improper announcement. Votes cast for James A. Wilson_under the unit rule were not tailled as Bouvier ordered the 1l called. A fair showing of strength will not give Kelly and Crimmins 105 votes. This fact is known and commented upon by delegates who are anxious to or- ganize the convention in a manner cred- itable to the Republican party BERGEROT ISS.UEg HIS LIST OF COMMITTEES Republican Convention Chairman Asks That Members Purge Them- selves of Partisan Feelings. P. A. Bergerot, temporary chairman of tha Republican County Convention, has issued his list of committes appointments. Cl rman Bergerot declares that the committees are entirely of his own selec- tion and that they were chosen after con- sultation with various members of the two factlor which participated in the temporary nization of the comven- tion, with a view to secure harmony and a better understanding In the party in the interest of Republican success. Ho | also asks that the members of the com- mittee on credentials divest themselves of all feelings of partisan or factional strife and to be guided in the discharge of their functions solely by a desire to bring unity of action and purpose in the convention as a whole.

Heaton's claims to the estate of her alleged father, the late War- ren D. Heaton, were heard to-day by Judge Greene, before whom she appeared in support of her petition for letters of administration. The hearing lasted all day, most of the testimony being that of witnesses produced by Miss Heaton in an attempt to prove that she is the law- ful child and next of kin of the late capitalist. Heaton in Placer County before his first marriage had been summoned. The testi- mony of all bore out in substance the al- legations of Jennie M. Heaton that she Is Warren D. Heaton's daughter. The stories told by the up-country witnesse: all bore traces of what was evidently long ago a choice morsel for the gossips of the little town of Lincoln, Placer Cg;;‘sl.’ Matilda Hodgkins 'f Lincoln, an ola and intimate friend of the Heaton family, told the court of the gossip cre- Ated by the attentions of Warren Heaton to Mrs. Mary May. a widow re- siding near town. Mrs. May, she said afterward became Heaton's wife. Mr Hodgkins knew of the existence of the cuild Jennie, and always heard Heaton acknowledge her as his own. Charles Gibson, who drove a butcher wagon at Lincoln about the time that Jennie Heaton was born, described his visits to the May ranch with supplies. He first saw Jennle Heaton when she was about a year and a half old. This was at the May ranch. “One day while talking with Heaton," said the witness, I jokingly asked him about the little girl. T asked him if she was his child. He answered, ‘She is my daughter. I recognize her as my child.’ 1 saw the little one many times after this and Heaton always acknowledged her | They are wandering stars consigned to darkness forever.” | of Professor Bacon closed by speakin {he growth of college spirit in the Unlver- sity of California and what it meant for athletics and for the institution. Regent George C. Pardee told the stu- | dents that “rooting” was what encour- { aged the football champlons. Coach Kelly modestly said he was glad of the privilege to work with the team. Bernard Miller, the Glee Club and Elmer Harrig contributed some numbers. Then Reno Hutchinson, the graduate manager, talked finances. He sald:* ““To get ready money season tickets will be sold to all the football games except the meet with Stanford. The students are asked to sign cards pledging them- selves to purchase the tickets." as his daughter.” | MASTER PLUMBERS MEET | Decide to Consolidate Northern and Southern Jurisdictions of the Association. The third annual convention of the | National Association of Master Plumbers, northern jurisdiction, was held in_this city on the 13th, 14th and 15th inst. Dele- gates from the southern jurisdiction were invited to be present, and after discussion, it was decided to consolidate. The foi- lowing were elected State officers: President, J. E.

BERKELEY, Sept. 17.—The Berkel High School eleven defeated the Oaklan High School team this afternoon at foct- bal :x':-cnrenffl to 0. The game was played on the Boone Academy grounds. "Another witness who knew Heaton at Lincoln a number of years agp was Dr. H. J. Plomteaux, now of this city. Dr. Plomteaux often heard Heaton declare Jennfe to be his daughter. He did not know who her mother was. “Mr. Heaton and his first wife, who was Mrs. May, always treated Jennle as their Gaughter,” concluded the witness. Jennie M. Eeaton was examined in her own behalf. She could not remember where she was born or the date. The first place she remembered was Wheat- land, Placer County. Said she: “Mr. Heaton always called me his child. I was raised by his first wife. whom T always called mother. After hi second marriage my stepmother and her daughter made things so disagreeable for me that 1 was forced to leave home.

FREIGHT FERRYBOAT THOROUGHFARE SINKS The Southern Pacific freight boat Thor- oughfare was sunk at her moorings in the Peralta-street slip, Oakland, while taking on coal at about 11 o'clock last night. The accident was a peculiar one in that it is not known whether the old boat sprung a leak or was forced to the bottom because she was overloaded. She suddenly began to settle in the water and went down until the water was flush with her deck. Her stern rested in the soft mud at the bottom of the slip, her bow being still afloat. The accident is not regarded as serious, and it is expected that the boat will be floated by 9 o'clock this morning. She will probably have to g0 on the drydock before the exact causc of the sinking and the full extent of the 4Aamage sustained by her can be definitely determined.

Mrs. Frank Klier and her three young children—Tillfe, aged §; Annie, aged 6, and Frank, aged 4 years—escaped being burned 1 to death in their blazing dwelling at 1 Third street only by the herolc mother action In throwing her bables and herself from second-story window. The flames swept upon them so quickly that despite her spartan act, the mother and her children were badly burned, and Tiille besides had her right arm broken. Worst of all the flames that Imperiled these lives and destroyed the dwelling are believed to have been started by burs- |lars, who, a short time before the fire broke out, had entered the house, and after ransacking it, stole a gold watch, rings and all other valuables the family possessed. To add to the misery, the hus- and and father, Frank Klier, an expert musical instrument maker, employed by Sherman, Clay & Co., 1s In San Franeiseco, just recovering from a long siege of se- vere illness. Mrs. Klier had been out to a neighbor's house and left her three children up- stairs In bed at home. She returned at 7:30 o'clock and found the whole house upset. Screaming she ran out crying that the place had been robbed. She discov- ered that her jewelry was gone. A rear window opening into a dining-room had been forced open and the burglars entered 1iat way. It is supposed they wers frightened off by Mrs. Kiier's return and dropped a bit of lighted candle In a cor. ner where it smoldered for three hours. About 10 o'clock Mrs. Klier smelled smoke while she was sitting upstairs writing to her husband. She opened a door leading to a back stairway, and a burst of flame drove her back. The frightened woman rushed for her children. and, grabbing | them, tried to force her way downstairs, | but the fire was blazing high and drove her back, burning all of the helpless ones severely. Then the mother rushed to the front window. threw out a mattress and dropped her bables, one by ome, to the ground twenty-five feet below her. She then jumped herself, but not until her clothing was afire. Neighbors came quickly to the rescue and the sufferers were carried to the Webbers near by. Drs. H. 8. Kei n and W. W. Kergan were summoned. The fire- men came, but the house was gutted be- fore the flames were quenched. rs. Kller | was "unconsclous and at' times very filghty. She was very badly burned about the face, head. neck, limbs and body. Her condition is critical. The police have taken charge of the case and detectives are looking for the burglars.
