It was from this office that on June 29 a large number of circular letters were sent to attorneys throughout the State calling their attention to the law and in- viting attorneys to drum up business for the firm of Taylor & Mason, in whose en- velopes the letters were inclosed. The circular letter outlines what the future actions of the courts would be and con- cludes by strongly urging on the attor- neys to hurry up and send in all the con- tracts possible, particularly specifying the amount that each saloon-keeper was willing to contribute to get out of his quarterly license payments.

A former local offi- cial of Oakland was approached and ask- ed if he wanted to make some money. He had been interested in Oakland poli- tics, was thoroughly conversant with the ins and outs and was deemed a good man to quietly launch the scheme. Besides he had been in Sacramento during the session of the Legislature, and was sup- posed to be up to snuff. He admits that he was approached by Taylor and those interested in pushing the matter. “Taylor is a good fellow,” he said, “and I would do pretty near anything for him. I was approached about two months ago by, him and asked if 1_wanted to make some money. I was told just about what The Call said a few days ago. 1 was told it I would canvass the liquor dealers of Alameda County and get them to sign the contract—the one printed in The Call —I would be properly treated. I said I would look into the matter and let them know later. I saw a number of the lead- ing dealers. ‘I soon discovered there was nothing in this county for any one on this proposi- tion for this reason: The Oakland license is $100 a quarter, and the county license before the passage of this act was $30 a quarter. The county lieense was never collected in Oakland, although the law said it should be. Soon after the passage of the Kelley bill, the liquor men saw the state of affairs and petitioned the Board of Supervisors to reduce the coun- ty license, and in accordance with that Dpetition it ‘was reduced to $5 per quarter. ““When I spoke to these men about the Taylor proposition, they said it would not pay them to get into any litigation and that it was better to pay $ than to pay a lawyer. I understand the matter was taken up later by another party and about thirty-five contracts were signed. ‘“There is nothing in working it in Ala- meda County, because the $5 license knocks it out; but they have worked every county In the State, and in such places as Sacramento and Los Angeles it is a good thing. Mr. Mason, being in the League of Municipalities, was undoubted- ly in a position to appoint agents in each county to handle the matter, he being well known throughout the State. ‘“About the Sacramento end of #t I know absolutely nothing, except I remem- ber that in the rush of business the ques- tion was addressed. to me, ‘What is Kelley monkeying with this whisky proposition this letter is now in possession of The OCEAN TRAVEL. | Pacific Coast Steamship Co. | For Alaskan ports—I1 a. m., July 15, 20, 25, 30, August i Change to company’'s steam- ers at_Seattle.

L o e i e i e e e o ) ACTIVITY PREVAILS IN PRIMARY LEAGUE The Republican Primary League is not in the slightest degree disturbed by the interference of the State Central Com- mittee in local affairs. The promoters of the league anticipated the conflict between the Bouvier and Tilden County commit- tees and resolved to establish an anti-boss organization independent of both factions. The league is carrying out the purposes of its founders. Anti-boss clubs are es- tablished in the several Assembly dis- tricts of Ban Francisco and citizens are enrolling their names and pledging their support to the cause of good local gov- ernment under Republican auspices. In numerical strength, quality of member- ship and general influence the league clubs hold by far the leading place. The Tilden committee rooms, where Kelly and Crimmins roost, were deserted as usual last night.- Reputable Republican citizens will not visit the boss headquarters.-The Republican State Central Committee, in- cluding the Los Angeles and Santa Rosa delegations, may meet every day in the ‘week and adopt typewritten resolutions of sympathy for Kelly and Crimmins, but bossism will not be rendered more accept- able by such indorsement. People of San Francisco, irrespective of party, regard the intrusion of the State Central Com- mittee into municipal affairs as absurd, unwarranted and pernicious: J. W. McKinley, the Los Angeles lawyer who made a grotesque spectacle of him- self in producing the boss programme for the State Central Committee, is said to be a candidate for the Supreme bench. His blunder yesterday was the common topic of comment in political circles last night. It was called to mind that Jeffer- son James, who'was once nominated for Mayor, produced from his pocket a speech accepting the nomination and began read- ing: “This is unexpected.” It was sald of his subsequent campaign that he ran third in the race because there was not a fourth candidate. Los Angeles should get ready to present another candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, one who will not render decisions before listening to argument. Until a late hour last night the rooms of the Republican Primary League, 930 Market street, were crowded with reso- lute citizens, who have entered the muni- clpal campaign to prevent the predatory bosses from looting the municipality. The work of district organization and enroll- ment of the anti-boss i(m"ces will go for- eward with increased vigor on account of the unwarranted attempt of the State Central Committee to establish a reign of bossism and municipal plunder in this city. In the approaching contest no half way ground will be found for independent clubs, organized to help this or that can- didate to a friendly delegation. Individ- ual aspirations must be subordinated to the common welfare. The fight is on between the eople on one side and the allied looters on the other, Twenty-two days remsin to organ- ize all the forces of good citizenship for the important struggle on August 13 next, news of a frost. on constitutionall; their duties or thei: and enforced exile. Marshall, Mich. HELPS T EVADE GIL SERVIGE Commissioner McCarthy Does a Little Politics. Sponsor for Clerk Whom His Colleagues Order to Be Dismissed. et The fact that Civil Service Commis- sioner P. H. McCarthy has been appointed by Mayor Phelan to carry out the merit system as laid down in the charter does not prevent that official from being a party to an evasion of civil service. Aud- itor Wells had another clash with the commission yesterday over the appoint- ment by him of fifteen experienced clerks who were not on the eligible list and it de- veloped that McCarthy had stood sponsor for one of the clerks whom the commis- sion forced the Auditor to dismiss because they were not certified by it for appoint- ment. ‘When the Auditor was authorized by the Board of Supervisors to appoint forty ex- tra clerks to foot up the assessment roll he made a requisition on the commission for twenty-five. ordinary clerks and sent a communication to it requesting that he be allowed to”appoint fifteen experienced clerks of his own selection on account of the intricate nature of the work. Expect- ing that the request would be complied with, Wells put fifteen clerks to work. One of these was a young woman whom Civil Service Commissioner McCarthy had ask- ed Wells to appoint after another person had interested himself in her behalf. Wells complied with the request, but Com- missioners Freud and Quinn, who were ignorant of their colleague’s little political deal, blocked the scheme. The two commissioners named, together with Chief Examiner Moran, Commission- er McCarthy being conspicuous by his ab- sence, visited the Auditor, and, after pre- liminary juggling, flatly informed him that his request for the privilege of appoint- ing fifteen clerks not on the civil service list would be denied. Of course, neither Freud nor Quinn were aware that Mec- Carthy had succeeded in securing the ap- pointment of a protege, thus alding a palpable violation of the civil service clause in_the charter. There was nothing left for Wells to do but to dismiss the fifteen clerks and he did so, not, however, before sending the following caustic let- ter to the commission: To the Hon. Clvil Service Commission: In compliance With your request of ‘yesterday I have decided to dismiss the fifteen experienced clerks appointed by me to assist the twenty-five ordinary clerks appointed by you for temporary work on the assessment roll in this office. 1 do this not because I believe you have the right in law to dlctate in any manner the employ- ment of subordinates in this office, but because I am tired of continual harassing in offica. It may be of interest for you to. know that the greater number of these fifteen dlsmissed are worthy, capable and industrious girls and women, sent me by some of the best people in the city. Respectfully yours, ASA'R. WELLS, Auditor. Deputy Auditor Leary is not much im- pressed with the ability of the ordinary clerks se@t by the commission to work on the books. Leary believes there is collu- sion among them because during two days only forty-seven pages of the books have been footed up, where last yvear sixteen volumes were ready for the expert on the second day. Leary believes the clerks are taking advantage of an order he issued that the clerks should not rush their work but to be sure thelir figures were accurate. Brutally Beat Their Wives. George F. Lesslie, a sea captain, living at 417 Powell street, appeared before Judge Conlan yesterday on a charge of | About 2 o'clock | battery upon his wife. Friday morning Policeman Mulcahey was accosted by Mrs. Lesslie, who was co ered with blood and was almost nude. She told him that while she was asleep in bed her husband had attacked her with a bolo knife. She was sent to the Receiving Hospital, where a number of knife wounds were found on her face and body. Mul- cahey went to the house and arrested Lesslie. He found the bedclothes satu- rated with blood. Mrs. Lesslie toild Mul- caRey that they had io leave Ncw Or- leans owing to her husband's crue: treat- ment of her. The Judge ordered Lesslie into custody and continued the case until to-morrow. Mrs. May Carroll, 417 Powell street, se. cured a warrant from Judge Mogan yes- terday for the arrest of her husband, Howard Carroll, a teamster, cn the charge of battery. She left him on ‘Wednesday, and on Thursday night he called upon her and beat her badly be- cause she refused to live with him again. —_—————— Crocker Company Buys Land.

E. D. Crowley said that the entire mem- bership of Army and Navy Parlor will be in the parade on the day of the big turn- | out. The representatives of a number of the local parlors announced that they had se- cured headquarters and will do ail in their power to make the celebration a success. It was decided that each parlor shall have not less than ten members in the parade in San Francisco. Chairman Dockery announced _that about $6000 has already been contributed to the San Jose committee; that the cele- bration will be a three-day one, and that many novel features will be introduced. He also said that many pariors in the vicinity of San Jose have signified their intention of joining in the celebration. The committee then adjourned for two weeks. | maining 777 are at Berkeley.
