& SilEn DELEGATES TO DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION ARE APPORTIONED hat Candidates Shall Be g County Committee Decides Representative of Primary Precincts. ~MELEYY MAD SE, N Row.. TOL oW NEIGHBORLY H15 NEWGHBO SweREn R HE Democratio City and County Committee met in B. B. Hall last night and adopted resolutions ap- portioning the delegates to be elected from the Assembly dis- tricts at the primary election to be held August 13. The meeting was presided over by Jasper McDonald, with Thomas W. Hickey at the secretary’s desk. J. D. Maxwell of tne Twenty-elghth Assembly District introduced the resolu- tion apportioning the delegates. It could not be determined from the tone of the in- rument whether the delegates were to be elected from primary or Assembly dis- tricts, and S. Braunhart moved to amend the document so as to provide for the election of the delegates by primary dis- tricts. Mr. Braunhart's motion caused a lengthy discussion. S. M. Van Wyck of the Fortieth district favored electing the delegates from Assembly districts, giving as his reason that in his district voters ere not acquainted with one another and BRONZE STATUE 10 WALLISTER City Lawyers Take Upl the Project With Enthusiasm. The committee of the Bar Association having in charge the matter of the erec- tion of a statue to the memory of the late Hall McAllister, has met with enthusias- tic encouragement for the project among members of the legal fraternity. The com- mittee is made up as follows: Chiet Justice W. H. Beatty, Justice Garoutte, Justice T. D. McFariand, Justice F. Henshaw, Herrin, John Garber, T. B. Bishop, Hon. . Hon. John de Haven, Hon. J. Charles L. Ackerman, A. A. Seawell, Senderson, R sky, W. W. Foote, Judge Carroll Cook, E. P. McCutchen, Hon. John Hunt, F. M. Michael, Charles P. Bells, James M. Allen, Garrett Mc- Enerney, D. M. Delmas, R. H. Lioyd, T. L Bergin, W. H. H. Hart, Willlam M. Pierson, Samuel M. Shortridge, Edward Lande, W. S Goodfellow, Thomas Riordon, M. T §. Pillsbury, Geprge A. Knight, an, Judge Troutt, Robert Y. Hayne, Alex- ander Morrison, Van. R. Paterson. The committee has been at work but a very short time. In effect it has not, as yet, tried very hard to secure subscrip- tions and yet $1000 has already been raised, which is one-fifth of the whole sum re- quired. The plan of the committee is to erect a life-sifed statue of the eminent advocate in bronze. The location of the memorial statue has not been definitely determined upon, but it is thought there will be no difficulty in securing the con- sent of the Park Commissioners, who have jurisdiction in the premises, to the erec- tion of the statue in front of the City Hall and facing the street that was named for McAllister. All the lawyers who have been inter- viewed on the subject have warmly in- dorsed this suggestion. The subscrip- tions so far secured are T. B. Bishop.. Frank M. Michael 06 William F. Herrl 100 Wilson & Wilson. 100 William A. Pierson. 100 Horace G. Platt The whole amount necessary to be raised is $5000, and this sum it is antici- pated will be secured without delay.

He was supported in his argument by P. J. Tomalty of the Thirtieth district. Mr. Tomalty said he knew every one in his district, but that he did not know every one’s politics for the reason that they changed the complexion of their beliefs so often. J. H. Farrell, also of the Thirtieth dis- trict, thought the delegates should be elected by Assembly districts and brought the argument to a close by moving that the resolutions be changed to that extent. His motion, however, was defeated over- whelmingly. The resolutions as adopted read as fal- lows: Resolved, That the Democratic City and County Committee, in meeting held July 11, 1901, hereby fixes the following apportionment as the apportion of delegates to be elected at a primary election to be held August 13, 1901, the said election being held for the purpose of electing delegates to the Democratic Municipal Convention to be held at a date to be fixed hereafter; be it further LEAGUE GAINS NEW PRESTIGE Republican = Headquar- ters at Baldwin An- nex Busy Place.

The club adopted the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas, An honest primary and a free con- vention have been heretofore unknown to the yoters of this Twenty-elghth Assembly District; and, ‘Whereas, Many of the most reputable citl- | zens thereof have heretofore not dared to at- tend primary elections or political meetings for fear of bodily harm or from disgust at the rough criminal methods used by the so-called ‘‘bosses’ of the district and their unprincipled heelers; and, Whereas, By the enactment of the new pri- mary law in the last Legislature primary elec- tions are now surrounded by the same safe- guards as general elections, and are hereafter to be conducted under the control of the Board of_Election Commissioners; therefore, Resolved, That we call upon all good citizens of the district to co-operate with us in our ear- nest efort to rid the district of the domination of Boss Kelly and his adherents and the dis- graceful reputation of being his pocket bor- ough; further, Resolved, That this, the Republican Primary League Club of the Twenty-eighth Assembly District, hereby indorses the action of the Bouvier County Committee as truly representa- tive of the party’s best interests. .

Lowry, Paciflc Avenue. The burglar who is known to the police as “the borer,” and who has been suc- tion for the last four months, has been heard from again after about two weeks’ rest since he enteréd the residence of Dr. Bruguiere, 180 Franklin street, and stole a considerable quantity of silverware. He will take nothing but silver, which is one of the features that mystifies the police. Early yesterday morning the burglar Lowry, commission merchant, at 2602 Pa- cific avenue. He took away with him six silver tablespoons, six silver teaspoons and six silver forks. Some were marked “G. M. L.” and others “H. M.” Nothing else was touched, although there was a lot of silver-plated ware and jewelry that he could have carried off easily. The family is in the country and the only occupant of the house is Thomas W. Mulford, Mrs. Lowry's father. He re- tired about midnight and at 5 o'clock in the morning discovered that the burglar had been in the house. The burglar had left the stub of a cigar which he had evi- dently been smoking while selecting the It was ascertained that the burglar had used a ladder in the yard of Phillip Ans- pacher, which adioins the Lowry resi- dence, 'to_climb_over the fence into the Lowry yard. A window had been left open ‘in ‘the layatory, through which the burglar obtained an entrance to the house, The door of the lavatory was locked, but the burglar bored holes thrcugh the door near the lock and suc- ceeded in opening the door. The rest was easy. ‘Who the burglar is puzzles the police. Captain Seymour admits the man’s clever- ness, and the officer who arrests him will be a’lucky man. @ il oot @ movement in this State.

Mr. Davis expressed his sense of gratification over the prosperous condition of the club, and advised his fellow citizens to continue the campaign against bosses. Colonel George Stone, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, an active member of the club, also made a spirited speech. Dies From Cocaine Poisoning.

M0 Leaves Her Lodgings Day Be- fore News of Theft Be- comes Public. Secret Service Agents Are Desirous of Putting Certain Questions to the “Woman in the Case.” —_— The investigation iInto the taking of $30,000 from the cashier’s vault at the Mint resulted yesterday in important discov- erles, Director Roberts, Superintendent Leach and Secret Service Agent Hazen were closeted for many hours with Walter Dimmick, the chief clerk of the Mint, who is believed to know more about the disap- pearance of the sacks of gold than he is willing to tell. The investigation into the life led by Dimmick in the last year was resumed. Information has been secured by Secret Service Agent Hazen that Dimmick, though a married man, has been most at- tentive to a charming widow and that her tastes were most extravagant. A significant happening in connection with the robbery from the Mint is that the “‘woman ir the case” suddenly left her lodgings on Powell street on Tuesday, July 3, and the next day Dimmick, it is claimed, went to a newspaper office and gave out the story of the robbery. The investigating officers are of the opinion that but for the publicity given to the robbery the thief would have been caught in a trap that was prepared for him. ‘Widow Has Disappeared. The woman with whom Dimmick is sup- posed to have been most friendly is well known in political circles in this city. In- vestigation shows that she has moved from one address to another in the last year and that she was always disinclined to tell where she lived. At the rooming house on Powell street, where she has resided for the last three months, it was stated last evening that she had not given up her rooms, though she had not been seen there since Tuesday of last week. Dimmick refuse to give any information as to his acquaintance with the widow in question. He neither affirms nor denies the allegations made that he lavished costly presents upon her. “People will talk,” he says, “and what can I do to stop them?” The secret service officials are now try- ing to locate the widow and hope to se- cure from her some information that may be of vital importance in the investiga- tion of the Mint robbery. [ Expert Maguire has almost finished his work on the books of the Mint and so far has not discovered a single error. The faint hope that an error might account for the missing $30,000 has long been dispelled. The money was deliberately stolen from the cashier’s vault and the thief held such a position in the Mint that his presence in the cashier’s room would not attract attention. Dimmick Shows Mental Strain. Dimmick’s examination yesterday -took many hours and he showed the effects of the mental strain he passed through. There is not an employe of the Mint who has a kind word to say for Dimmick and none defend him from the suspicion that he was well acquainted with the combi- nation of Cashier Cole’s gold vault. The sum of $4,800,000 was inspected and counted yesterday and the coln was re- sacked and sealed. So far no shortage has been found In any of the sacks of coin inspected by the vfclals, One of the investigating officers, speaking of the robbery, sald: “This is a difficult case as far as getting evidence that would warrant a conviction is concerned. From the start we have felt convinced of the guilt of a certain employe, but the necessary legal proof is lacking. No one saw him open the vault or enter it; no one saw him take the money away and no clew can be found to the sacks or tags. Yet we are convinced of his guilt. We hope, however, to dis- cover certain evidence that wfil place an entirely different aspect on the case. The count of the gold in the Mint will not be finished for some days. When it in is completed, Director Roberts will make | a full report to the Treasury Department and it is then expected that there will he many changes made in the personnel of the Mint staff. Camp-Fire Scintillations. CAMP REVERIE, FORESTVILLE, July 11, 101.—On Saturday a party of fif- teen from San Francisco, composed of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Whiting, Charles ‘Whiting, Mr. and Mrs. James E. Gordon and Miss Gordon, E. R. Fleld, Roy T. Kimball, Henry Ascroft, John H. Gray, Alice Ascroft, Harriet T. Noah, Mrs. H. C. Winn, Lilian Field and George Wall, came to Camp Reverie for the day. These, with fourteen others who came to remain indefinite periods, made a full day at the camp. The weather was of the regulation Camp Reverie brew, the river dimpled and sparkled its prettiest; the sun was just hot enough to make the shade seem grateful; the luncheon was of its usual excellence, and it was no wonder that fifteen people regretfully took the after- noon train for a less favored climate, promising, all “parting guests” of the camp, to come again. On Friday a fare- well icecream party was given to Master Alan Osbourne and his mother, Mrs. Lloyd Osbourne, at Camp Reverle, near which they have been camping for several weeks. The hostesses were Mrs. Ida Mans- field Wilson and Mrs. Allice Chittenden; the guests Mrs. Lloyd Osbourne, Mrs. Alice Cramer, Miss Emily J. Henderson, Mrs. F. W. Thompson, Mrs. Alice Heynemann, Mrs, Ninetta Kames, Alan Osbourne, Mr. C. F. Richards, Mr. E. B. Payne, Mrs. Evelyn Comstock, Mrs. Wiley and Mr. R. H. Wiley and Mrs, Jack London and Miss Joan London, Jack London preferring to *go a-swimming.” Quite the spiciest pro- gramme of the season was carried out on Saturday evening. It was arranged by Mrs. Ida Mansfield Wilson, one of the guests, with Mrs. Alice Heynemann, also a guest, as mistress of ceremonies. It opened With a story by Jack London. Mu- sical selections by the Misses Friedberg on piano, banjo and mandolin were sec- ond on the programme, followed by an ir- resisjible cakewalk. Master Leonard Jerome of Oakland proved a most fetch- ing leader. Esmond and Beth Wiley of Berkeley, who brought down the house with thei® childish grace, were followed by three older couples, whose illustrious personalities were hidden under such euphonious names as ‘‘Dandy Jim of Caroline,” *“‘Sis Hopkins,” ‘“‘Rosebud,” “Parson Johnsing” and “Aunt Dinah.” Lake Tahoe and Return.

There were few persons in the audience of the Tivoli last night who could dis- tinguish in the acting of Annle Meyers, who appeared as Sally in “The Babes in the Wood,” traces of the keenest sorrow that can embitter the life of a loving wife and mother. While the audience laughed at her merry antics and listened to her tremorless voice raised in song, the spirit that animated both was lacking because of the deep grief that tugged remorseless- 1y at her heartstrings. But the sobs that welled up in her throat gave way to laughter more or less forced, and few there were who realized that her breast was shaken by the most poignant anguish, which, happily, found relief in bitter tears every time she made her exit into the wings. A few minutes before leaving her home on Post street to go to the theater, Mrs. Meyers received a telesram -from her brother, John Jarboe, announcing the death of her husband, Harry Meyers, at Baltimare, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The unhappy woman was nearly pros- trated at the unexpected intelligence, and. it was with great difficulty that she could muster up sufficient courage to appear at the theater and enact her role. As she had no understudy she determined not to fail the management, and with tears streaming down her face she entered the theater and communicated the sad intel- ligence to Manager Leahy. Mrs. Meyers bravely undertook to play her part as usual, but for her benefit much of her business was cut. In the second act her feellngs well nigh got the better of her, but she rallied in time and was enabled to go through the part without any marked betrayal of the deep emotion that possessed her soul. Mr. and Mrs. Meyers were married nearly twenty years ago and were warmly attached to each other. Deceased was a good_singer and for two years Ku a member of the Tivoll chorus. His health gave way about two vears ago and six months since he went fo Baltimore in the hope that he might find relief. He steadily grew worse, however, but his death was totally unexpected. The interment will take place in Baltimore. The deceased leaves a daughter, Gracie Meyers, who Is a member of an operatic company in Bos- ton. She was notified of the death by her mother last night. Florence Roberts’ Illness. Owing to the illness of Florence Roberts the Alcazar was closed last night. The announcement that Miss Roberts was too ill to appear was posted at the entrance and hundreds who had anticipated an evening of merriment watching and hear- ing her as Lady Teazle in ““The School for Scandal” were greatly disappointed. Suit- able arrangements for the return or ex- change of tickets will be made by Man- ager Belasco. Inquiry at the home of the actress at 922 Ellis street last night developed the information that she was resting easily and that she would be in condition to ap- pear to-night. Early yesterday morning she was seized with a severe attack of acute gastritis, which the skill of Dr. McNutt was unable to master in time for her to_appear last night. He announced that she would be thoroughly recovered to-day. : Sudden Death of Helen Hayes. Miss Helen Hayes, a school teacher of Los Angeles, died suddenly last Wednes- day night in the Renton Hotel at 7i2 Sut- ter street. She had come to this city to spend her vacation and had been under treatment of a physician for rheumatism of the heart, which disease finally carried her off. She was born in Denver 28 years ago. ———— Verus cures piles or 350 reward.
