The issue is therefore brought directly before the peo- ple of San Francisce. The session was enlivened by several ludicrous incidents. The master of cere- monies was Judge J. W. McKinley of Los Angeles. His right hand supporter was Walter F. X. Parker of Los Angeles, who draws from the public treasury $2000 a year as expert of the State Board of Ex- e | form and called for discussion. H. Barker; W. J. James, for J. T. Laird; E. | 1.

His left hand supporter was Al- len B. Lemmon, postmaster of Santa Rosa. All three were stuffed with proxies. It was noted that Judge McKinley held Judge McKinley arrived from Los An- | He and Walter Parker met the chairman of the State Committee at the Palace Friday evening. The formail resolution endorsing the Tilden committee | was revised and adopted that evening. A typewritten copy was placed in Judge Mc- Kinley’s pocket. Five minutes after the argument was concluded yesterday the Judge drew from his pocket the resolution and read it. When he came to the words “having listened to the argument” the anti-boss members exchanged smiles. Laugh at the Blunder. Roars of laughter greeted the suggestion of A. Ruef that the Judge must have had a typewriting machine concealed about his clothing in order to have produced the resolution so soon after the argument was finished. It was obvious to the dullest observer of events that the resolution was prepared and typewritten long before the committeemen had listened to a word of the argument on the question. The postmaster of Santa Rosa and Wal- er Parker of Los Angeles, who are tak- ng such absorbing interest in the munici- pal affairs of San Francisco, were on the alert to render McKinley assistance. When the talk about the outrageous in- trusion of the committee won from the fair-minded Republicans cheering ap- plause the Santa Rosa postmaster moved the previous question. The programmers did not want to hear the plain, unvar- nished_truth from A. P. Van Duzer, A. Ruef, Wallace Bradford, J. W. Knox and Senators Thomas Flint and Robert Cov- but declined it. The mess was too raw for the Judge to swallow. Johnny Mac- of this city sat together and looked pleased. There is nothing in a slaughter house too raw for either of them. Jesse Marks, “Corney” Pendleton, Jake Shaen, ex-Assemblymen Rickard, Fisk and “‘Col- onel” Brady graced the occasion. Boss Kelly surveved the bunch with a glow of delight. There is not the slightest doubt that D. M. Burns gave orders for his fol- lowers to get'in behind Kelly and Crim- mins, because E. I Robinson, who gets Burns' permission to breathe, voted a buneh of proxies for the Kelly programme. Colonel George Stone called the meeting to order at a quarter past 2 o'clock. J. M. Oliver, officiating as assistant secre- tary, called the roll. The following mem- bers responded to the call of their names: ‘William J. Brady, Charles Bundschu, Thomas Kirkpatrick, George Stone, Allen B, Lemmon, W. M. Cufter, J. W. McKinley, Walter F. Parker of the executive committee; Hugh Di- mond, Alameda; H. V. Alvarado, Contra Cos- ta; Walter F. Parker, Los Angeles; J. W. Knex, Merced; Robert Corlitt, Napa; Thomas Flint Jr., San Benito; D. C. Collier Jr., Ban Diego; Horace Jackson, Thomas J. Dol . D. D. Suilivan, E. I Robinson, L. D. MacDonald, Max Goldberg, William T. Howe, M. J. Flynn, E. M. Buckley and Thomas Sheehan, San Fran- cisco; Benjamin Brooks, San Luls Obispo; Ed- mund M. Burke, Santa Barbara; J. D. Mac- kenzie, Santa Clara; W: F. Price and E. F. Woodward, Sonoma. Proxies were appointed as follows: Colonel George Stone, for H. D. Loveland, F. E. Wadsworth; A. B. Lemmon, for Wake- ficld_Baker and J. C. Bull Jr. of Humboldt; A. Ruef, for P. N. Lilienthal and James E. Dye; C. W. Pendieton, for J. S, Slausson; Walter F. , for George . A. Hochheimer and J. E.

Augustus Tilden, as chairman of the protesting committee, came forward to represent that side. He spoke fifteen min- utes, going into the history of the two committees and the ‘“‘vexatious apportion- ment.” He modestly referred to his com- mittee as ‘“‘the committee of which Mr. Tilden is chairman” whenever he had oc- casion to speak of it, and that was often. TR SOME PLAIN FACTS STATED. Abe Ruef Presents the Bouvier Com- mittee’s Case in Able Speech. Abe Ruef occupled the entire thirty min- utes allotted to the other side. After deal- ing with the question at issue and fur- nishing some of the facts which Tilden had forgotten to mention, he concluded | as follows: What are you all called here for, some of you hundreds of miles? To decide Which is the County Committea? Not at all. What differ- ence does it make which of these committees is declared to be the junty Committee? Both of them go out of e: nce with this next con- vention. Is it to recognize a regular ticket? Is it to recognize party discipline and party organization? There are parties, members of this very State Central Committee, who are here to-day to vote upon this proposition who went out openly and talked and voted for the defeat of the regular nominees of the Repub- lican party at the last election, and they are certainly not here to vote according to their honest judgment as a matter of party dis- cipline io hold Republicans in line; men who voted against State Senators, who have the nomination and election of a United States Senator. and who voted for Democrats. should not come here and tell us that they are voting for party discipline and party organization. The diXerence of opinion here is whether the Republicans of San Francisco shail be repre- sented In a municipal convention for the pur- pose of nom'nating a Mayor and other mu- nicipal officers by 301 Republicans or 351 If there fs any other question involved in this case now I am willing to say that we will withdraw our petition and we will allow the Tilden committee's apportionment to stand. I do not wish to say why the Tilden committee’'s apportionment i better or worse than ours. That is a matter with which you gentlemen have no concern and about which I do not care to argue, But that is the sole question that is before vou. A proposition was made before either com- niittee acted tiat the committees should agree upon an apportionment. But it is bruited about on every street corner and boasted of in every barroom in San Francisco where politicians congregate that this committee will decide that th2 Tilden committee is the committee. I do not say that they will, but that is the report. Ave you going to také up that question here and decide it and wantonly break up the Re- publican party of San Francisco by unwar- ranted interference which will redound to the disadvantage of the party in future State cam- paigns? 1 am as good a Republican as stands upon this floor, and I wanted to avold any question of this kind and the necessity of having it determined by you gentlemen from the interior, as well as my distinguished con- freres upon this committee from San Francisco. The latter are here in full force and are ready to vote according to the dictates of their con- sciences; and they have eighteen aggregate con- sclences which will vote with singular unanim- ity. Some of them hold places on the water front and some of them hold places elsewhere, &nd they can’t vote for themselves: If they had a conscience they couldn't vote according to it, because they are afrald of losing their jobs. You will have the Republican party broken into pleces unless you establish a uniform law. I am going to vote the ticket nominated by the convention, no matter whether the Tilden committee or the Bouvier committee or the Republican Primary League prevaile.. I am going to stand by the party better than some of_these gentlemen who are talking about party organization and party discipline. 1 reserve the right only that if the nominations of the party are of such a debased character that a man cannot in justice to his own self-respect vote for them I am not obliged to support even to oblige the bosses. But I am . upon any falrly good Republican con- to say that I do not care which fac- rols if it nominates a ticket In the of the party. you, gentlemen, whether people have spoken to you before or not about this matter, to vote in the interest of the Republican party, vote homestly, vote. disinterestedly, and let 1t g0 out that here is only one governing body, one County Committee in the city and county of San Francisco every two vears, and not a heterogeneous congregation of fifteen or twenty disstmilar and not homogeneous masses, each claiming to be a committee. TRUMAN IS PYROTECHNIC. McKinley of Los Angeles Springs the Typewritten Programme Resolution. A. B. Truman took, the platform and made a pyrotechnic speech, denouncing the Bouvier committee. He asserted his allegiance to the Grand Hotel wing of the party. Afterward he voted the Martin Kelly programme, for himself and the members whose proxies he held. Senator Corlett hit Truman a solar plexus by objecting to his further waste of the committee’s time. Truman sub- sided. Chairmafi Stone declared the time al- lotted for debate exhausted. J. W. McKinley of Los Angeles prompt- ly offered the following resolution, neatly typewritten for the occasion: e Whereas, Tt has been brought to the at- tention of the State Central Committee of the Republican party of California that there ex- ists in the city and county of San Francisco two bodies claiming to represent said Repub- lican party in said city and county as the governing committees thereof, of one of which bodies Alfred Bouvier, Esq., Is chairman, and J. F. McGlynn, Esq., is secretary, and of the other of which bodies Augustus Tilden, Esq., Is chairman, and A. B. Mahoney, Esq., Is sec- retary, the said State Central Commitfee hav- ing on this 20th day of July, 1901, convened in special meeting regularly called for the pur- pose of hearing the claims of sald bodies and datermiring and deciding which thereof repre- sents sald party in sald territory, and said bodies having appeared before said State Cens tral Committee at said time by their respec- tive chairmen and counsel, and the State Cen of the respective bodies and having fully con- sidered the mame, now therefore, it is by the said State Central Committee found. decided and determined that said body of whick Au- gustus Tilden, Esq., is chairman, and A. B.

B. Mahony are hereby found and decided to be and are hereby named as the chairman and secretary thereof, re- spectively. It is further found, decided and determined that said body of which Alfred Bouvier is chairman and J. F. McGlynn is secretary does not represent and is not the governing com- |- mittee of nor has it at any time or period herein mentioned represented or been the gov- erning committee of said party in said city and county, but the sald body Is and at all times and perlods herein mentioned has been without standing or#uthority to represent said party in said territory or any part thereof.

He said: We are putting ourselves in a false position, and there is an attempt here to put the State administration, of which we ought to be proud, in a false position. I say that no man in Cali- fornia did more than I did to place that ad- ministration in power, and I have a ‘right to say that that administration, if it chooses to do so, has & right to go before the people for indorsement at the proper time, but we are putting them in a position where they will be fmnnd to powder when we ought not to do it. I say that this committee ought not. to make a precedent of interfering in municipal poli- tics. If we do we shall never see the end of it. So I say that we must not allow that clause to stand. It is simply a slur, and it will serve to exasperate the feelings of the men upon whom it reflects. McKinley disclaimed any such intention and any such meaning or effect in the resolution. He said: There is an important precedent to be estab- lished which ought to be established right now, and that is that this committee will meet and perform the duty imposed upon it un- der the provisions of section 1186 and determine wherever there is a dispute which is the proper governing committee in a particular subdivis- fon of the State, of which San Francisco is one. That provision of the code, I take it, is very clear, and it is our duty to act under it. And upon the presentation of the case as have heard it 1 believe Mr. Tilden's committee is such committee. TRIUMPH OF THE BOSSES. All Attempts to Depart at All From Programme Are Unsuccessful. Ruef took up a remark of McKinley's as,well as the language of the resolution and creatéed some fun at the expense of the programmers. He said: 1 desire to offer another amendment. I move that from this typewritten resolution, which was prepared after the argument evidently (laughter). there be eliminated the following words: 'Having heard the proofs adduced and arguments made for and on behalf of the re- spective bodies, and having fully considered the same,”” upon the ground that this resolu- tion was prepared evidently before any argu- ment was made or any hearing had—unless the gentleman had a typewriter ~in his ket. (Renewed laughter.) We, certainly, as Repub- licans desire all our resolutions, whether they be In writing or in typewriting, to speak pretty near the truth. I move the adoption of that amendment. Van Duzer insisted upon the considera- tion of his amendment, and upon a pre- vious question, moved by A. B. Lemmon, the Van Duzer amendment was lost by a vote of eight ayes to fifty noes. The vote was not a test of the relative strength of the two sides, but the Bouvier element saw the futility of further oppo- sition, and rollcall was not demanded on the question of the adoption of the reso- iution offered by McKinley. On a weak viva voce vote it was declared duly adopted and the purpose of the meeting was accomplishe CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES. Cenfusion Caused by Changes Under Reapportionment Is Corrected. A. B. Lemmon said that before adjourn- ment a question concerning the Congres- sional committees should be settled. Un- der the reapportionment confusion in the committees had arisen. He moved that members of Congressional committees declared members of the committee of the district in which they now reside. The motion prevailed without opposition. A meeting of the committee of the new Second_Congressional District_was held after the adjournment of the State Cen- tral Committee, and organization was ef- fected by the election of W. F. Price of Sonoma as chairman and Willlam Barr of Marin as secretary. They were the of- ficers of the old First Congressional Dis- trict Committee. —ee Robbers Are Sentenced. Willlam Roberts, who was convicted by a jury in Judge Cook’s court on the charga of attempt to rob Frederick ‘Wright on March 9, was yesterday sen- tenced to fourteen years in San Quentin. Robert Phillips, who pleaded guilty to a charge of robbing Albert Schwartz on March 19, was sentenced to five years im Folsom penitentiary. ——————— Ladies’ Kennel Club Organized. A number of ladies who are interested in dogs met last evening in the offices of the “Breeder and Sportsman’ and organ- ized the Ladles’ Kennel Club. Temporary officers and committees were appointed. g“he meeting was adjourned until August SUDDEN DENTH OF . B GAAYSDN Well-Known Mining Man Unexpectedly Passes Away. et Robert R. Grayson, mining operator and of tha firm of Ralston & Grayson, 331 Pine streat, died suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday morning at his lodgings, 393 | Geary street. Mr. Graysoh had been in the best of health and spirits recentiy, and his death came as a shock to his many friends, who had not known that he was suffering from a mortal disease. Mr. Grayson attended the Pacific-Union Club last Friday night and was in more than usual good humor. His fatker, George W. Grayson, capitalist, with of- fices at 331 Pine ‘street.. missing his son from his cffice in the forenoon called yes- terday after lunch at the flat, 393 Geary street, to see what had detained him. Re- celving no response to his summans, he called the landlady and an entrance was effected with a pass key. Mr. Grayson lay in bed, apparently asleep. A closer inspection revealed the fact that he was | dead. or apparently so. Dr. Burgess was | summoned in haste and. declared that death had occurred a few hecurs pre- viously. Three months ago the young man had a fainting tpell on coming out of his bath- roon:. and when he recovered conscicus- ness found himself lying on the flcor. He had lain the whole night in that condition. He sent for his physician, Dr. Shiels, who warned him that the attack was a danger- ous indication cf heart disease. On a re- c®nt visit to Seattle he had a prescription filled—a beart tonic. The bottle, contain- ing about a teaspoonful of the medicine, was found in his room by Deputv Coroner Meehan vesterday when he called to in- vestigate the case. The father cz the dead man saild yester- day that tis son had never complained of sicknces, and the only .occasion upon which he had’ been led to believe that something was wrong was when he was told of tbe fainting spell. Robert R. Grayson was born in Red Bluff, Tebama County, thirty-five years ago. He was educated at Harvard and was proficient in the Greek classics. He was a popular member of the Pacific- Union Club and of the Elks. He was en- gaged to marry Miss Jennie Dunphy and thc¢ wedding was to have taken place in the fall. ‘With the passing of “Bob” Grayson, as he was popularly called, another familiar figure will be missed “‘along the line.” He was a man of most generous impulses and was a true bohemian in every sense of the word. He was a universal favorite, and his company was much in demand by his bachelor friends on account of his bright and clever conversational powers. He was passionately fond of all athletic sports. The funeral will take place on Monday afternoon from the late residence of the deceased in Oakland, the services being in charge of the Elks, members of San Fran- cisco Lodge No. 3 performing the last sad rites. Although an autopsy will be held on Grayson’s body there is not the slightest doubt in the minds of his relatives and friends that death was due to heart fail- ure, On Friday evening he was seen on the San Rafael ferry boat by two friends and he Informed them that he was a sick man and was taking a ride on the boat for the fresh air. One of the gentlemen dtated last evening that on Friday night Grayson looked like a dying man and he warned him to take the best care of himself. George F. Gordon’s Will. The will of George F. Gordon, late mem- ber of the law firm of Gordon & Young, was flled for probate yesterday. The tes- tator left no relatives. His law library is bequeathed to Edward B. Young; $1000 to Miss Nellle Cane, d‘,llgghter of Dr. Alfred Cane; $1000 to John Thompson. a nephew of decedent’s wife, and $1000 to Willlam P. Hassell, for years the elerk in the em- ploy of the firm.
