One hundred and two private | pension bills were passed. Just before the House adjourned a fine tribute was paid to Representative Charles A.

Littlefield of Maine asked unani- mous consent for the consideration of a bill to place him on the retired list as a captain in the navy, Boutelle having been in the navy during the Civil War.

FINANCIAL AID FOR UNIVERSITY State Institution of Learning in Urgent Need of Assistance, SR The present financial embarrassment of the State University is giving the greatest concern to the Board of Regents and in order to relieve the stringency a special meeting has been called to take place next Saturday evening in the Maple room of the Palace Hotel at § o'clock. Invitations are being sent to all prom- inent citizens in the State and it is ex-| pected that the gathering will result In much good. The primary object of the meeting is to organize for the promotion of such steps as will secure the passage by the coming Legislature of the inherit- ance tax law, by which’ the State Uni- versity will be benefited. The State University is now the second in rank in point of academic attendance, and while the number of students is dou- ble that of Stanford University, the In- come of the State insutution is only half of that of the seat of learning at Palo Alto. In the past ten years the attend- ance has increased four hundred per cent, while the increase of income has been but seventy per cent. The call for the meeting for next Satur- day evening is signed by Mrs. Phebe A. Hearst, James H. Budd, 1. W. Hellman, President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, Reuben H. Lloyd, W. H. Mills, James D. Phelan, Louls Sloss, Frank J. Simmes, William Thomas and Claus Spreckeis. General Chipman, president of the State Board of Trade, will preside and ad- dresses will be made by General W. H. L. Barnes, Willlam R. Davis and other prominent men. Oakland City Council. PALACE HOTEL GUEST PLACED N THE TANKS Andrew White Brown Said to Be a Fugitive From Justice. PR n L A well dressed young man named An- drew White Brown was arrested last night by Detective Whitaker in a dis- patch from Fulton, Oswego County, New York, for grand larceny. Brown arrived here‘about ten days ago from New York and registered at the Palace Hotel. He claimed that he was the son of a New York millionaire and that he was making a trip around the world. Late yesterday afternoon the head of the detective department received a dis- patch from the Sheriff of Oswego County asking him to arrest Brown. His address in this city was given as the Unlon League Club. Detective Whitaker was glven the dispatch, which contained a good description of Brown, and ordered to arrest him. Whitaker found him at the Palace Hotel conversing with Jule Gamage, a private detective, When shown the telegram Brown laughed at its con- tents, but did not attempt to conceal his identity. Whitaker took him to police headquarters, where he was closely ques- tioned. Brown pretended to be at a loss to ac- count for his arrest, except that he had purchased several articles of jewelry in Fultolrlm and left without paying for them in full. “You have no right to lock me up.” in- algnantly declared Brown to the chief of the detective force. “This is a civil mat- ter, not a criminal one.” Gamage, who aceompanied Brown to po- lice headquarters, also interceded for him, but to no avall. Brown was then escorted to the City Prison and locked up in the ‘“tanks.” Word was at once sent to the Sheriff of Oswego County announcing the arrest and asking for further particulars about his alleged crime. An answer Is ex- pected some time to-day. Royal Arcanum. A new council of the Royal Arcanum has been instituted at Stockton by L. R. Le Land, D. G. R., with thirty-eight char- ter members. The new council being organized at Ala- meda will be instituted early in January by Grand Regent L. A. Spencer. ‘Supreme Rerresemam—e George W, Dixon is organizing a new council in this city. He has already secured about thirty names to a petition for a charter and as soon as fifty shall have been secured it will be instituted. B00M 15 ON FOR " MAYOR SHYDER Democrats Speak of Him as Probable Candidate for Governor. I S s R 'Papem in Another Assembly Contest Filed—Eugene Lacey Claims Election in the Twenty- Eighth District. SRS The news published in The Call of De- cember 13 that leading Democrats were | talking of bringing forward as their can- didate for Governor Mayor-elect M. B. Snyder of Los Angeles has created a deal | of gossip in political circles. Members of the Monticello Club, who claim to be the | true disciples of Thomas Jefferson, are discussing the merits of Mr, Snyder and wondering if he possesses the skill and sa- gacity to soothe the bitter factional fights | in their party. The Democrats south of Market street are asking if Mr. Snyder | proposes to enter Into a combine with | Mayor Phelan. Everybody in the political | swim seems to know what would happen to the genial Mr. Snyder if he should de- cide to cast his lot with the Phelanites. Eugene Lacey is convinced that he was lected Assemblyman to represent the Twenty-elghth District in the Legislature, Yesterday he filed a petition in accordance with law as a preliminary step in the con- test to be seated in the Assembly. When the Daingerfield-Graham recount was or- | dered Mr. Lacey engaged two competent tellers to note the vote for candidates for the Assembly in the Twenty-eighth Dis- trict. Each ballot was inspected and.a | close tally maintained. The tellers report- | ed to Mr. Lacey that the ballots, correctly tallied, gave him a majority of four. | The returns in the Twenty-eighth Dis- | triet _as officially reported gave C. A.| | Franklin a majority of seventeen votes, | | hence he obtained a certificate of election. | Mr. Lacey must go before the Assembly Committee on Elections to establish his | right to be seated. He remarked last night | that a recount of the votes, fairly con- ducted, would clearly establish his right ' to represent the district in the Assembly. He said that he did not ask for anything | but justice and fair dealing, and he ex- | | pected that the Republican majority and | the Democratic minority in the Assembly would see that justice was rendered. Mr. Lacey was nominated by Gavin Mc- Nab's exclusive Democratic convention, which assembied at Odd Fellows’ Hall, and was ‘ndorsed by the Citizens’ Repub- Hale’s. toys and dolls One-half of the great 4th floor exclusively, while the 3d floor cal toys, wood toys, tin toys, children’s books. it's a wonderful sho fes and fron axles 2, as il- lustrated, 59e: 14xsl inches, with seat.. .- BL98 Pool tables, with two cues, triangle and complete set of balls—15x29 inches—each. 3.

The Dem. | cecratic push, rounded up by Rainey and | others, supported Franklin. Four hundred | voters'in the district, presumably Repub- | licans, declined to vote for Assembiyman. | As a rule, the Republicans voted for| Lacey as a rebuke to the bosses, and the | Democrats helped Franklin to assist the | boss element. At the Union League Club last night there was another conf2rence on the sub- dect of the primary election law. The at- tendants were: Tirey L. Ford, A. Ruef, John F. McGlynn, Cameron H. King, Rev. Dr. Scott, Joseph Gorman and R. P. Troy. The Legislature will surely sive the questicn of a primary election law careful and rrolonged deliberation. No doubt a joint committee df the Senate and Assem- bly wiil hold open sessions to hear argu- ments ard suggestions pertaining to the proposed new law. [pe committes will doubtless agree on some measure, and | when that agreement takes place The Call | will publish the text of the favorably re- ported bill. The Elks. The meetings of Sn Francisco Lodge | are unusually well attended, the average | attendance being sixty-five. Exalted Ruler Bonnet reappeared In the lodge room at the last held meeting, the first time since the recent accident he met with. James Borroks, the “silent” member, will donate a beautiful mounted elk to this lodge. Esteemed Leading Knight Dunne and Brother Wheelock will soon take an ex- tended trip through San Joaquin Valley. Jimmy Hamilton and Uncle George Brom- ley visited the lodge at the last held meet- ing and favored with vocal selectlons. Brother Marquise of St. Paul Lodge and | Brother Bill of Everett Lodge visited this | lodge and were well pleased with the manner in which the business 1s conduct- ed. Willlam Jones gresemed the lodge a pair of antlers which measure eleven feet across. Sacramento Lodge received six applica- tions at its last held meeting. The lodge has $12,000 in its treasury and will soon purchase a lot and build a home. More than $6000 has already been subscribed for the purpose. Three Initiations, six elections and four applications last Tuesday night tell the story of how Stockton Lodge Is increas- ing in membership. James E. Dunne of San Francisco Lodge visited Stockton last week and complimented the officers highly for thelr efficiency in the initiatory work. Oakland and Sacramento will send dele- gations to the social session to be given by No. 218 next Tuesday and which is to be presided over by Judge Post of Sac- ramento. It is probable that the new lodge at Fureka will be Instituted in February next. The indications are that it will be instituted with 175 charter members. Chico, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Santa Barbara_and Vallejo all report progress and good prospects. —————— Knights of the Golden Eagle.
