No Negotiations Have Taken Place for Disposal of Property. Claus Spreckels Will Complete His Electric and Gas Works and Ope- rate Them When They Are Finished. S 2 Unable to secure news, the Examiner, the self-styled “monarch of the dailles,” is once again hard at work in operating its “fake” bureau. Among all the “fakes” it has published in the last few weeks none has been more willfully false than its statement made yesterday that the Independent Electric Light and Power Company and the Inde- pendent Gas Company would be sold by Claus Spreckels to the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company. The article, displayed with strong head- lines and occupying almost a column, has not a single line that contains even the semblance of truth. Not _content with making the statement that Claus Spreckels was prepared to sell the two companies, the “monarch of the dailles”” goes into details as to the negotiations and, without the ‘Xghtest authority, quotes the names of prominent cltizens who are ‘‘conducting the negotia- tions.” Contracts Signed Daily. Eqgually false statements appear in the article as to the cost of the Independent Electric Light and Power Company’s plant, and the paper tells of the ‘“‘costly mistakes made by the engineers” who had the work of construction in charge. The Examiner manufactures a tale of how "Claus Spreckels was ‘“tired of the electric light business,” and says it was “no easy task to get customers.” The pa- per_then enters into a stupid explanation of “high and low voltage currents,” and in its ignorance endeavors to show that the power of the Spreckels company was too cestly for this city. As a matter of fact, the Independent Electric Light and Power Company is signing daily from eight to twelve new contracts with city consumers of electric light and power and the workmen of the company are kept busy making connec- tions from the street mains to the places of business of patrons. The masg of falsehood and fabrication only served to create amusement to the few readers of the sensational morning paper and, when an equally saffron-hued evening paper swallowed the Examiner’s wild and lurid tale, publishing it with many embellishments, more amusement was caused. Positive Denial of Sale. Claus Spreckels returned last evening from Lake Tahoe. but an interview was had yesterday with John D. Spreckels. In speaking of the publication in the Ex- aminer Mr. Spreckels said: ‘““There is not a word of truth in this_article from its beginning to its ending.

Claus Spreckels proposes to run the companies I have mentioned on the same lines he has followed from their inception up to the present time. “There is not a single word of truth in the article as to the plant of the Inde- pendent Light Company being more cost- Iy than expected. On the contrary, the cost of equipment has been less than was estimated when the work commenced. ““The sale of the Independent Light and Power Company has never been thought of by us. Another false statement in the article is the one that eustomers have fallen off. As a matter of fact. customers are coming in every day to sign contracts and expired contracts are being daily re- newed. Eight to a dozen contracts are signed daily. The workmen of the com- pany are kept busy from morning tiil making connections from the street mains to houses and places of busi- ness of customers. Report of Negotiations False. ‘“The statement that Attorney Preston and myself have conducted negotiations for the sale of the Independent Company and that we have met the other side, as represented by I. W. Hellman, Henry Wadsworth, Antoine Borel and Daniel ver, is absolutely false. Neither Attorney Preston nor myself have ever met these gentlemen in con- nection with the sale of the Independent Compary. We are not conducting any nerotiations of sale; we have not done so arf do not propose to do so. “‘Another statement that is false is the one that says a large quantity of gas pipe intended for the Independent Gas Com- pany has been shipped io Seattle and sold in that city. 2 “Not a single piece of gas pipe has been shipped from this city to be sold else- where. The gas pipe was shipped to San Francisco via Seattle, and that is the only marner in which Seattle can be men- tioned In connection with the pipe of the Independent Gas Company. Gas Plant to Be Finished. “It is false to say that the Independent Gas Company has vanished. On the con- trary, the work at the Potrero of build- | ing the generating houses and gas hold- ers is progressing actively and will be so continued until the works are finished. ‘“‘Another false statement is the one that ‘the cost of tearing up the streets to lay the gas mains deterred the establishment of the Independent Gas Company.’ “The matter of laying the pipes in the streets has been held up, owing to an or- dinance passed by the Board of Supervi- sors requiring the company to pay for the cost of inspection of the pipe by the Board of Public Works. This would en- tail an extra expense of $60,000 on the com- pany. The amount is not of such vital 1g|,portance, but it is the principle of the thin "Tixe old gas company was not required to have its pipes inspected and pay city officials for doing so. It is to the inter- est of the new company to lay its pipes in proper manner. Claus Spreckels says that he will not iay a single pipe under such an ordinance. The old company was not required to do so, and it is unjust and unfair that the new company should be thus imposed upon. “The oft-repeated absurd storles made in the morning and evening yellow jour- nals that the underground cables of the Indeperdent Electric Company were af- fected by water in rainy weather serve to amuse practical electricians. The many thousand citizens who saw the work of placing the cables under the streets can readily realize the absurdity of such statements. “In the first place, the majority of the streets under which the cables are laid are paved with asphaltum, and water does not percolate through that substance. In addition to this surface protection, the | asphaltum rests on rubble and sand, whila the lead-encased electric cables are em- bedded in terra-cotta conduits surrounded on all sides by four inches of concrete. “It would be impossible for water to percolate from the surface of the streets to the cables.” Orpheum Stars Will Appear. The members of St. James’ parish will glve a grand entertainment to-morrow evening at Metropolitan Temple. The pro- gramme promises to be one of the finest ever rendered in the city. Robert Down- ing is down for a short act, Mr. Hotaling will give some female impefsonations and several stars from the Orpheum have promised to appear.

LARGE ENROLLMENT OF CITIZENS IN REPUBLICAN PRIMARY LEAGUE Earnest and Active Work of the District Clubs-—Anti-Boss Victory Is -Assured. Registration Is the Duty of the Hour VERY registered citizen who has changed his place of residence since the last general election should re-register before Satur- day next, as registration for the primary election closes on that date. 1 new comers who have acquired a right to vote by one year's residence in the State should get on the register be- fore August 3 in order to be able to cast a ballot at the primary election for good local government. Enrollment of citizens under the auc- pices of the Republican Primary League district clubs is progressing. All the B'fixs point to anti-boss triumph at the bolls, as the league forces are daily gain- Ing'in strength. The allled bosses under the leadership of Martin Kelly have abandoned the plan of putting up straight boss tickets and are. giving.their atten- tion to compromise propositions. By coalescing with district clubs estab- lished to help certain candidates for municipal offices they hope to win a few delegates in_the anti-boss districts. The Republican Primary League will put for- ward straight out-and-out anti-boss tick- ets. The Jeague has no candidates to favor. The purpose of the organization is { to awaken the people to a sense of the importance of the primary election to the end that citizens of good character may be elected to the municipal nominating convention.

The property owners and other good citizens who are-interested in the prosperity of the district are not will- ing to sacrifice (hen‘a‘:rlnclples in order to give French a traling delegation for the bosses to use. Last night there was a large and_enthusiastic meeting of the Republican Primary League Club of the Thirty-sixth at Twentieth and Guerrero streets. Convincing addresses were made by D. W. Burchard, C. H. Allen, A. P, Van Duzer and F. W. Van Reynegom. All good citizens of the district should sus- tain the League Club. It s free from boss influences. Thirty-Second District. -The Republicans of the Thirty-second Assembly District organized in Penny's Hall, Potrero, last night. There was a rousing meeting and much enthusiasm was manifested by the Republicans of the eastern end of the district. After seventy-five names had been placed on the roll the club proceeded to organize, with Dr. T. Byron DeWitt as president and Howard H. Oellig as secretary. In opening the meeting Dr. DeWitt stated that the time had arrived for all good Republicans to come to the front and en- roll themselves on their club register, with the view of electing a superfor class ?lfondelegates to the nominating corven- These remarks were indorsed by Thomas Duff, one of the oldest Republi- cans in the Potrero, a man who has been foremost in advocating clean politics and | 800d men for office. Mark Anthony was emphatic in his denunciation of corrupt methods in politics. Zacharias Taylor Whitten, who has figured as a prominent Republican in the district, was outspoken against boss rule.

Emery sees in this viola- tion of the law a chance for the wily Ce- lestials to evade the exclusion act by sending the certificates to Chinese in the Orient who are desirous of quitting China and who use this method to defeat the ends of the act. Recorder Godchaux states that during the last year and a half more than Chinese have appeared before him with affidavits signed by notaries public show- ing that the former were born on a cer- tain date in San Francisco or some other American city. Many of the Chingse were born thirty or more years ago and ro registration of their birth was ever made. The purpose of obtaining a certifi- cate, many of them state, is to guard against complications in the event of a visit to China. It is held that certificates issued after a lapse of thirty years, when all evidence as required by law is de- Stroyed, are illegal. Recorder Godchaux has directed the attention of the Mayor to the facts as noted in his annual report, filed with that official yesterday. The re- port further says: 2 : it my duty to refer to the necessity e & for greater care and diligence in the filing of mortuary and vital statistics. The law requires that a report of all births and deaths be filed with the Board of Health, the records being in due time transt!rr]ed to this Office. .

L P Ry POWER ANOTHER ASPIRANT. Placer County Man Is Now Men- tioned for Gubernatorial Honors. LOS ANGELES, July 30.—Yet another aspirant for gubernatorial honors . was an- nounced here to-day in the person of Har- old T. Power, superintendent of the Hid- den Treasure mine at Forest Hill, Placer County, who has a handsome residence at Auburn. Jacob Neff, Lieutenant Governor of Cal- ifornia, whose feeling for Governor Gage is known to be none too friendly, is said to be the man who will urge and fight for Power's nomination when the proper time comes. While Power’'s name is hardly one to gonjure with at the present time in southern political circles, he has a brief political history. In the irty-second California Assembly he représented Pla- cer County, but he showed his greatest strength when delegates were elected to the_last national Republican convention at_Philadelphia. John F. Kidder, who came to California in the days of gold. wanted to represent the Second Congressional District in that convention. Kidder died a short time ago, leaving a considerable fortune. During his long life in the mining districts of the State he had only to ask a favor at the hands of, the Republicans to have it grant- ed. For many years Kidder was State Debris Commissioner. When he became a candidate as delegate to the convention which named President McKinley for a second term he found that Harold Power was also a candidate for that honor. After a hard fight Power won out. In winning from so formidable an opponent, Power proved beyond any question his strength in the mountain districts. The latest aspirant for the chief office of the State is a man between 40 and 4 years of age. He is spoken of as a man of a retiring disposition. who thinks and acts, but seldom talks at any great length. He is a Native Son of the Golden West. Furthermore Power has amassed a tidy fortune in the mining business, which wiil enable him to carry on a vigorous cam- palgn. The local Democrats, not to be oytdone, are also talking of available timber. John ‘W. Mitchell of the Democratic State Cen- tral Committee has just returned from San Francisco with the boom of Garret McEnerney in his walistcoat . pocket. Mitchell is certain that Garret McEner- ney would prove the most formidable candidate the Democracy could find for the head of its State ticket, but he quali- fles his opinion with the statement that | the well-known San Francisco lawyer could probably not be induced to accept the nomination. Mitchell bringe word that W. T. Jeter of Santa Cruz, who was the appointee of Governor Budd as Lieutenant Governor of the State; Barney Murphy of San Jose, nowa bank commissioner; Dr.Washington Dodge, City and County Assessor of San Francisco, not_to mention former Gover- ror Budd and Mayor M. P. Snyder of this city, all have their admirers for the nom- ination among northern Democrats. ‘““We are in no mood,” concluded Mitch- ell, “to chase strange gods any further, but will next year go before the people with a ticket and platform of the variety which was utilized before Bryanism was known to the party.” @ tefeieleefe el el e e b @ FATE RENDERS WILLS USELESS Testaments of the Wild- mans Filed for Probate. Willlam F. Aldrich has filed for probate the last wills of the late Consul General Rounsevelle Wildman and his wife, the late Letitia Aldrich Wildman. The wills of the decedents were executed at Hong- kong on March 20, 1909. Consul Wildman placed the value of his estate at $16,900 and Mrs. Wildman stated that her prop- erty was worth $25,500. Both wills are the same. Mr. Wildman provided that in event of uis death his property should go to his wife, but in event she did not survive him the prop- erty should revert to their son, Rounse- velle Wildman Jr. Mrs. Wildman pro- vided that her estate should go to her husband, but in event she survived him then the same should go to their son. There are none named in the wills as beneficlaries to take under their provi- slons. Hence the estates of the decedents will be distributed among their heirs at law. Consul dman, his wife and babjes went down with the ill-fated Rio de Janeiro and together they rest in the Lost ship somewhere on the bed of the eep. ‘Wholesale Liquor Firm Fails. The wholesale liquor house of Thomas Taylor & Co. failed yesterday. The firm is well known and has been in business since 1858.

There is more trouble in Alaska mining matters, and United States District Judge Noyes is mixed up in it again. United States Circuit Judge Marrow issued yes- terday in the name of the United States | Circult Co» -t of Appeals a writ of super- sedeas directed against Judge Noyes, re- straining him from proceeding with the execution of the sentence pronounced by him against James McKay, C. B. Wright, Thomas Donahue, Charles Yager and Alexander McCumber for contempt of court. The writ recites that the appellants ap- peal from the final order and judgment of the District Court of the United States for the second division of Alaska, adjudg- ing them to be in contempt on May 2 1901, and that Judge Noyes refused them a stay of proceedings or other legal relief asked for. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals therefore commands Judge Noyes to refrain from the execu- tion of his order and to stay further pro- ceedings, pending the hearing of the ap- eal. P rom the petition for the writ it appears that McKay and Yager were the owners of claims Nos. 7 and 8 respectively on Gold Run Creek, above Mike Hayden's Discovery, on the same creek, in the Port Clarence recording district of Alaska. Al- bert F. Stout began an action in eject- ment against the appellants and obtained a temporary injunction restraining Mc- Kay from working his claim. Stout there- upon entered upon Yager's claim, which was not involve. ‘n the suit against Me- Kay, and proceec :d to extract gold there- from. Hermann filed suit against Yager for possession of his claim and proceeded to work the claim until arrested for rob- bing it. Because the appellants ousted Ring they were adjudged gullty of con- tempt of court and judgment was pro- nounced against them. Noyes denied their prayer for a writ of supersedeas and re- fused to accept a bond from them. The allegation is further made that Ring was deleased on his own recognizance upon the application of R. N. Stevens, who aft- erward acted as attorney for Ring in the civil actions, and that Ring's case was Federal | never prosecuted before the Grand Jury. ————————— An odd consignment from Italy which reached an Indlana town the other day consisted of one bee—a. large queen Insect, which is to form the nucleus of an apiary, Special Discounts from 10 to 40 THE MONEY-SAVING FURNITURE AND CARPET HOUSE, Cash or Credit.
