Tobin Club was organized last night at %9 Market street. It was an enthusiastic and representative gatherin of the friends of the Democratic candi- i} | Gate for Mayor, and many of them made ommendatory speeches in regard to the candidate, while the others promised to work hard in behalf of his candidacy. The meeting was calied to order by Col onel Thomas F. Barry, while P. F, 1 Cormick was selecied as secretary. Dr. Joseph Calegaris, former Chief of Police Patrick Crowley, F. E. Hesthal, Albert S. Wieland and B. P. Oliver were selected as vice presidents. When Tobin was called upon for a speech he sald he had not come to the meeting for that purpose, but to thank his friends and the Democrats of the city | for the honor they had conferred upon him. He sald it was both a pleasure and an honor to be nominated for Mayor by the Democratic party, and he was pleased 1o receive the indorsement of his friends. He added that it had not been his inten- tion to accept the nomination on account of private reasons, but he agreed to make the sacrifice as an honest and patriotic dtizen. Tobin won great applause from his hearers when he declared in forcible terms that he had accepted the nomination with- out pledging himself to any one, and that he was and would always be without tie 1o any man or set of men. He promised that if elected he would perform the du- ties of the office in an upright and honest manner and to the best of his ability. Tobin concluded his remarks by saying that he would not discuss the issues of the campalgn at ihe meeting, deeming the district meetings the proper places for their discussion. The temporary officers were made per- manent, and_on motion it was declded to have the chair appoint eighteen gentlemen from the various districts to work with the officers and vice presidents as a cam- | paign committee of the club.

Willlam M. Bunker has been selected for the position | ana will leave for his new post at an early date. The matter is one which has been a sub- ject of debate among the prominent men of this city for several months. San Diego | on the south snd Seattle on the north both | have representatives at the natlonal capi- }rnl and their labers have been crowned | with beneficial results. That San Fran- cisco should likewlse be provided for has been long admitted, but there has pre- viously seemed no way in which the nec- es might be met. Now the mmerce has determined to ¥ for everything out of its own treas- ury without the assistance of the other commercial organizations of the eity. Senator Perking was present at the meeting yvesterday and strongly advised that the action be taken. He stated that he himself and the other members of the dalegation were always ready to assist b tever means should be in their power in hering the interests of San Francisco, but that a man who was con- stantly in touch with commercial inter- ests on the coast could present matters for legislation to the delegates in a much | better way than could be done by postal or telegraphic communication, which has up to this time been the way in which im- portant matters have been dealt with. Mr. Bunker has for a long time been ac- tive in the interests of the Chamber of Commerce and in_choosing him for the new pcst commercial men feel that they h cured the services of an efficient worler. The membership committee made a very exhaustive report of its labors yesterday. i s shown that the organization has : members now than at any other in its history.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 15. The politicians of the State have their eyes upon the move which is being made in Alameda County to sécure a Supreme Court Jecision upon the validity of the present county government act. The question is shortly to be brought into that court upon an appeal from the Superior Court of this county from the decision in whas: is known as the ‘‘court reporters’ salary case.” If District Attorney Alien’s contentions be upheld by the BSupreme Court the entire county government act will be nullified, for he has attacked it as defective in title, using what is said to be apalagous argument to that by which the codes decision was given, declaring | the new codes unconstitutional. | along Third to Howard, where ihe so-| | Rabbi Nieto spoke again at the grave| his | | | | | | California county. Should the Supreme Court decide against the county government act as it has against the codes, thirty-two counties of California will be thrown back to the classification of the act of 1508, unless a special session of the Legisiature shall }leldcnlled before the elections of 1302 are held. * Alameda County, under this condition of affairs, will be thrown into the same class with Los Angeles County. Without a new classification the incoming officers of 1303 will find themselves abie to appoint a host of deputies and increase the patron- age to the high mark of the Southern i The Sheriff would be assisted by nineteen deputies under pay. The Courty Clerk’s roster would run to seventeen assistants, and so on along the line. It was to avoid this very condition hat the last legislature reclassified Ala- meda County by changing the population limits to classes and threw this county into the third ciass. But the old county government act which would be operative provides that counties of 100,000 population should be in the second class, and this puts Los An- geles and Alameda countles, under the new census, on an equal footing. The Legislature also made many otlrer changes in classification, leaving the del- egations from each of the large counties free to adjust the patronage offices to the demands of the interested county. The court reporters’ case at issue in- { volves the questlon of the legality of the act wherein it provides a salary for court reporters and fees. Upon the advice of District Attorney Allen County Auditor Bwing refused to draw the salary war- rants, the District Attorney declaring that not only was this provision illegal, but 'that the whole act itself was vold. The reporters mandamused Ewing, but Judge Hall, sitting with the other Judges, decided that the act, so far as it related to the salary provision, was {llegal in that it was a special act of legislation. The reporters found that in Los An- geles County the court had sustained the act and had declared that so far as. the ; title was concerned, the salary provision did not have to be embraced in it. This decision was exactly conirary to the Ala- meda County ruling, so to settle the law the reporters here decided to appeal. Briefs on appeal have been prepared and will shortly be submitted to District At- torney Allen for his reply. Then they will be filed with the Supreme Court. “If we lose our case in the Supreme Court it will mean that the county gov- ernment act is unconstitutional,” said J. H. W. Riley, one of the officlal court re- porters. “District Attorney Allen has at- tacked the act not only as regards our salary provision, but by the title as well. This is along the lines of the code de- cision as I understand it.” Licensed to Marry.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 13. Mrs. Susan Levy has recovered her four- ar-old daughter, who was abducted Sun- night by the child’'s father, Daniel , from the home of its grandparents, Mr, and Mrs, H. M. Harrington of 803 Tweltth street. Alone and unalded the mother went in pursuit of her missing baby to-day and located the little one near tne Presidio in San Yrancigco, where the father is sta- tloned as a soldier of the Twenty-ninth Infantry, U. S. A. Mrs. Levy tried to se- cure the assistance of the local police in the search, but was informed that under present conditions the father was as much entitled to possession of the child as her- self. Nothing daunted by this plain ex- pianation of the legal side of the case, the mother decided to go upon the trail her- self and if possible to find the hiding place of her little girl. . Realizing that her hus- band would undoubtedly put their daugh- ter within easy access of his abode, Mrs. Levy hastened at once to the Presidio. After wandering for hours about the Government grounds and becoming nearly chausted by her long search the mother ‘as about Lo surrender, when she sudden- ly espled the figure of a child clad In a red automobile coat. The mother recognized the coat as the wearer disappeared in the doorway of a house. Lying In wait for a favorable moment Mrs. Levy, nervous and excited, saw her opportunity, slipped into the place, got her child and fled for a street car. Hastening back to Oakland, the mother and her child were soon safe in the harrington residence. She returned this evening with her daughter to Beri- cia, Mrs. wevy's home. Further contest for the custody of the daughter must be made there, for the mother says she will make application to the court for control over her child, pend- ing the settlement of the divorce sult she has brought against her husband. Levy declares that the only reason he desired to remove his daughter was be- cause the child was not in proper sur- roundings. INDIAN WOMAY REVENGES HERSELF WITH KNIFE Mrs. Antonie Santa Fatally Stabs Ed- ward Alneco After a Row Over Bottle of Beer. LIVERMORE, Oct. 15,.—As the result of a drunken row Edward Alneco, an Indian employed on the True vinevard, was fa- fally stabbed Sunday afternoon by an In- dian woman named Mrs. Antonle Santa, Alneco and the Santa woman quarreled over a bottle of beer while both were un- der the influence of liguor, and the woman got the worst of it.

Officers and Bloodhounds on the Trail of the Out- laws. e Ohlo, Oct. The vauit of GALION, the Farmers’ and Citizens’ Bank at Tyro, | was wrecked , Who secured It is said the a small town near here, carly to-day by six robbe: the contents and escape vault contained $10,000. Ths cracksmen used nitroglycerin. The doors of the vault were blown com- pletely off and the building was partiaily demolished. The terrific explosion awoke the people of the town. All who ap- proached the bank, however, were driven away by tho robbers, who were armed with rifles. Mayor MecConnell atiempted to enter the bank, but was fired upon by the robbers and compelled to retreat. Having secured their booty, the cracks- men went to a livery stable, where they bound and gagged the owner. They then took several rigs and drove rapidly away. A posse and bloodhounds are on the trail of the rebbers. MASON CITY, Iowa, Oct. 15—The safe of the bank at Rudd was blown oven by dynamite last night. The robbers escaped on a handcar and tcok to the woods. The president of the bank stated that the amount secured was about $3000. MOUNT VERNON, Chio, Oct. 15.—The vault of the bank at Danville, Ohio, was blown open early to-day by a gang of cight robbers. Five charges of dynamite were used and the bank building as well | as the vault were wrecked. The explo- sions aroused the citizens and a pitched battle took place, during which the thieves took flight. They were followed to Buckeye City, where they had rigs in readiness, and drove away. Pursuit was at once taken up and a number of shots were -exchanged until were reached, where the vehicles were abandoned by cover. The woods and all roads in the neigh- borhood have been placed under guard and It is expected that the men will be captured. During the flight a buggy in which two of the crooks were riding broke down and they were forced to abandon it, riding away on the horses. In the buggy was found a large quantity of chickens, potatces and edibles of various Kkinds, which is taken to indicate that the ganyg intended to hide themselves in the woods somewhere and camp out until the ex- citement subsided. At least one of the robbers was wounded in the fight. Banker Wolfe says that little of value was se- cured. | CLAY-STREET RESIDENCE BADLY GUTTED BY FIRE Flames Gain Considerahle Headway Before the Arrival of the Fire Department. Fire partly destroyed the residence of J. Richard Freud, secretary of the Mer- chants’ Association and Civil Service Commissioner, at 1271 Clay street las evening. The flames were discovered in a room in the attic and are thought to have been caused by a defective flue. The loss will amount to about $5000. Special Officer Charles H. Mahnke saw the flames issuing from the roof about & o’clock. After turning in an alarm from box 23 he rushed to the house and found the family at supper. When the engines arrived the fire had gained considerable headway and before it was extinguished the roof and upper portion of the house were badly gutted. The loss to the build- ing will be 32000 and to contents . W. C. Hanley and family resided on the first floor. Hanley's loss was caused principally by water. ———————— TWO LITTLE RUNAWAYS.

The first of a series of three lectures on “The Art of the Orient” was given yes- terday afternoon in the parlors of the First Unitarian Church by Ernest F. Fenellosa. The lectures are to be given under the auspices of the Channing Auxil- fary and the ladies of the auxillary have been fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Fenellosa, who is one oI the world's most distinguished authcerities on Oriental art. ““The Early Arts of India, China and Japan” was the department of the sub- ject chosen by the lecturer for his first talk. In a clear, brilliant, concise and yet comprehensive fashion he traced the con- nection between the arts of Greece, Baby- lon, India, China, Korea and Japan; the reaction of one upon another and the varied raclal, religious and other in- fluences that have been brought to bear upon their formulation. The lecture was fllustrated by stereopticon views, in which were included photographs of ancient Babyloniai bronzes; the statuary of Northern India that was immediately in- fluenced thereby; the Indo-Chinese edition of Buddhistic art; the native Korean enfus, with the Babylonian, Chinese and ndian impulse superadded, and the last link in the chain—Japan, with all the other influences superimporesd upon a fruitful soil and flowering into the high- est form of the art. A large audlence listened to the lecture and warmly ap- plauded the brilllant lecturer at its’ close. The second lecture will take 11()11;1:5 Satur- day afternoon next at 2 o'clock. The sub- ject is ““The Landscape Art and Poetry of Medieval China.” —_———— Jeweler’s House Robbed. The house of Ray A.
