A conference of independent anti-boss delegates to the Repubiican Municipal Convention was held last evening at Na- tive Sons’ Hall on Seventeenth street, near Valencia. The Thirty-fourth, Thir- eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and rst districts were largely repre- Among the delegates at the con- ident sented. ference were: T. P. Woodward, pr of the Republican Primary League mund Tauszky, Morgan Backus, J. Currier, A. G. Towne, Lester Burnett, George B. Keane, Clifford McClellan, L. W. Buschard, Myer Jacobs, Ralph Hathorn, F. W. Burnett, M. Cerf, A. C. lofson and L. Haake. One hundred and twenty-three delegates were repre- sented and large accessions were ‘prom- ised. ‘he conference was not called in the interest of any aspirant for public office or any candidate for chairman of the convention. When the delegates elected to represent the Thirty-fourth District organized a suggestion was made that the Thirty-ninth delegation be invited to a conference. Subsequently invitations were extended to the Thirty-eighth, For- tieth and Forty-first, and each of these district delegations appointed a commit- tee of five to attend the caucus. Anti-Boss Elemeént Is Strong. A careful study of the various district delegations had been made by active Re- publicans and the opinion was expressed that the anti-boes elements were strong enough to dominate the convention. In order to prevent the nomination of a ticket dictated by the bosses concert of action on the part of the independents was considered essential. It is reported that many representative mén of the Thirty-third, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-seventh and Forty-second district delegations are in sympathy with the plan to bring about 2 union of all the anti-boss ele- ments of the convention. At the conference last night ex-Senator Burnett was chairman and Clifford Ms- There was a general exchange of views and a free expression of sentiments in favor of a clean ticket and a vigorous effort to achieve success at the polls. Assurances given by several speakers that the anti-boss forces were strong enough to control the convention awakened much enthusiasm. There will be another meeting of independent dele- gates at Native Sons’ Hall, on Seven- teenth street, Friday evening of next week. In the meantime district delega- tions will meet and receive reports of the conference held last night. Webster’s Ladylike Canvass. Several candidates are in the field for ‘the office of Coroner. Dr. T. J. Crowley’s name is added to the Republican list. - His friends point to his record as a physician and chemist while he was attached to the City and County Hospital and St. Luke's Hospital. Reports come from the labor camp that Eugene E. Schmitz, president of the Mu- sicians’ Union, will not have a walkovar in the Labor party convention for the Mayoralty nomination, There is likely to be quite an army of aspirants for the honor of heading the ticket. It seems seéttled that Charles Wesley Reed will not figure conspicuously as a candidate in the Laboer party convention. Charles L. Patton, Charles 8. Laumels- ter, Judge Bahrs, Auditor Wells and Henry J. Crocker continue to be the lead- ing aspirants for Mayor In the Republican camp. Superintendent of Schools R. H, ‘Webster is making a ladyvlike canvass and securing some promises of support. O. F. von Rhein, ex-Supervisor, is added to_the list of Republican aspirants for the office of Public Administrator.

ELISE WENZELs BERGER; 3. LUCILLE GRAVES. HE proudest co-eds attending the university are the members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fra- ternity. They have every reason to be proud, for they have com- pleted the work of reconstructing the home of the society and now have one of the prettiest and coslest ‘“‘frat houses” in Berkeley. This sorority is the oldest organization for young lady students connected with the ‘university. It has ‘“mothered” the scheme of securing quarters for the co- eds such as the young men enjoy and the members have worked with such good- will that they were enabled to announce erday that in the future they would rival ihe cfforts of the male students to make the social side of college life an attractive feature. Many of the members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma have arrived at the uni- versity and are already installed in their new home. Up to the present they have been busily engaged in the work which the opening of a new college vear makes imperative, but in a short time they will commence making it pleasant for them- selves and those lucky enough to get “invites.” It is expected that in consequence of this particular fraternity having such handsome, modern and_ convenient quar- ters, a spirited race for college social honors will be inaugurated and that its functions will be the most select at the “iniversity. Just what soclal plans have been made for the coming season by the Kappa Kappa Gamma are not known, but it ‘is thought that they will entertain more extensively than the male students. Needless to say, both the male and fe- male students are looking forward to what promises to be the merriest and most pleasant winter ever spent by col- legians at Berkeley. ® NEW BATTERIES FOR THE AR Additional Artillery Di- vided Into Nine Commands. — WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—Acting Secre- tary of War Sanger, upon the recommen- dation of Colonel Randolph, chief of ar- tillery, has directed that the last increase of artillery be organized into nine bat- teries of fleld artillery, their stations, numbers and commanding officers to be as follows: Battery 22, Fort Douglass, Utah, Captain A.

Speeial Dispatch to The Call. EL PASO, Aug. 23.—Jose Remedios Val- despino, the leader of the Furioso gang of bandits, that has terrorized the State of Durango, Mexico, for several years, has been killed in battle. He and a few of | his followers were overtaken by a squad | of rurales in the Canyon de Villalobo, near Nombre de Dios, a few days ago, | and after a fight that lasted over an hour the chief was slain and several of his men were killed and wounded. | The record of Valdespino was one of the bloodiest and most cruel in the history of Northern Mexico. A number of years ago | he organized a small band of robbers and began operations in the mountains. Min- | ing prospectors, ranchmen and ore and | freight train men perished as he met | them and their money and valuables wers appropriated by ~his crowd. Several times the authorities have captured and executed some of his men, but as often he replenished his ranks and kept up tha bloody work. Many ranches have been raided and the women and_ children, as well as men, were slain like dogs. Houses were burned and property of every kind was destroyed before the gang proceeded on its way. Last year the gang was almost broken up, but Valdespino succeeded in escaping. For several months nothing was heard of him, but this summer he mustered an- other band of followers and began his work again. Numerous posses of rurales were sent on his trail, but he succeeded in staying out ef their path. About two weeks ago he raided a wagon train and killed several persons and the authorities found his trail. For ten days they fol- Jowed in close pursuit and one afternoon of last week overtook the outlaws in the Canyon de Villalobo. The fight was fu- rlous and six soldiers were killed. After a battle of over an hour the firing of the soldlers was not returned, and on closer approach dead men were found scattered along the gulch. In this number was the body of Valdespino, shot in several places. Several of the party are thought to have escaped, but nothing is feared from them since théir leader is dead.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 23.—Moritz von | Baumbach, .German consular officer at Milwaukee, to whom belongs the credit for the capture of Gerhardt Terlinden of Berlin, has in his possession a number of telegrams and letters showing that the amount of money alleged to have been fraudulently obtained by Terlinden is sev. eral million marks. The exact figure Is known only to the authorities in Europe, according to Van Baumbach, and it will only be made public at the. trial. Since the arrest was made Von Baum- bach has received a number of cable mes- sages from persons in Germany who pro- fess to have claims, and it is certain the alleged liabili gregate a very large sum. Among the co cerns which have claims against him are the Amsterdam Bank, the Berlin Discount Soclety, the banking-house of Robert Suermondt of Berlin, the Warschauer banking-house of Berlin and a number of other concerns. L e ] TEMS OFFICIAL NOT INPEACHED AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 23.—The House to- day refused to pass a resolution to im- peach State Treasurer Robbins for having a large amount of the State’s money on deposit in the First National Bank of Austin when it failed recently. The Governor sent in a message indicat- ing that the First National Bank was in a falr way to be reopencd and asking for legislation to enable the State to take ad- vantage of the bank’s resuming so as to get hold of all its money within 180 days. The resolution was adopted. The under- standing here )s that John R. Kirby of Houston and other bondsmen of Robbins have acquired a majority of the bank’s stock , and will co-operate with W. B.

WASHINGTO! Aug. 23.—Attorney General Knox has rendered to the Post- master General an opinion on whether a certain Western daily paper has violated the law prohibiting the use of the malls for advertising lotteries, gift concert and similar enterprises. A paper some time ago announced a guessing contest, adver- tising that it would give 1500 prizes, ag- gregating $15,000 in value, to persons mak- ing the nearest estimates of the number of paid admissions to the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo from the day of opening to the day of closing. The Attorney General says that until practically forbidden by law the remedy is with Congress and not with the depart- ment. He says the contestants must go into careful inquiry as to ‘the facts about the expositicn, public interest and attend- ance to date, ‘and continues as follows: Such estimates, therefore, while neces- sarily dependent in many respects upon chance, are likewise affected by the in- telligent calculations of a thoughtful ob- ser A fair construction of the words | ‘dependent upon lot or chance’ excludes estimates which are based upon mental calculation, even though the factors | which enter into such calculation may be uncertain and matters of conjecture. The drawing of a lot or the throw of the die | are purely dependent upon chance, for no mental operation can ald in estimating the result. “‘As penal statutes must be con strictly, I am unable to reach cm:h::‘;:‘! clusion 'that the giving of prizes as a re- ward for superior intelligence in esti- mates, where the human intellect is ex- ercised in making such estimates, is n purview of the statute and conclusion cannot be affected by the demoralizing tendercies to which vou refer.” Outlaws Rob a Detective. FLORENCE, Ariz., Aug. 23 —Harry Shaw’s Riverside Station, thirty miles east of Florence, was held up on Wednes- day night at 7 o'clock by two masked men and robbed of $160 in cash and other articles of value. Shaw and Sam Finley, who claims to be a Pinkerton detective, were in the house at the time and the latter had $40 and his revolvers taken from him. SR Georgia Bridges Washed Away. ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 2.—A special to the Constitution from Ellijay, Ga., says: Every bridge on Cartreay River, five in all, including the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern bridge, was washed away. Man; mills are gone and others are damaged. Cartreay River is higher than for fifty- two yea Pretty boxes and odors are used to sell such soaps as no one would touch if he saw them un- disguised. Beware of a soap that depends‘ on something outside of it. Pears’, the finest soap in the world is scented or not, as you wish; and the money is in the merchan- dise, not in the box. All sorts of stores sell it, especially druggists; all sorts of people -3 using it. “
