WILL ATTACK PHIARY LAW Republican Bosses to In- stitute a Test Case. State Machine Hopes New Act Will Be Declared Unconstitutional Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16.—Attempt is to be made to overthrow the primary law enacted by the Legislature last winter, and the powers supporting the movement are leaders in the Republican State ma- chine. The details of the plan are not being disclosed, but it is learned that the new law is to be taken before the Bu- preme Court to test its validity. Should the new act be declared unconstitutional, it may be years before California will have one similar in its intended effects. The Supreme Court has overthrown three primary acts, and the late Stephen M. ‘White once remarked that by the terms of the existing State constitution Cali- fornia could never enact a.primary law that the Supreme Court would not de- clare to be inoperative. Senator Robert Bulla, discussing this subject to-day, said that if the boss ele- ment in the Republican party. sought to do away with the primary law, the peo- ple of California never would forgive the leaders of that faction. Any suit aimed at the existing statute would be defended by counsel specially employed for the urpose. pS‘;g.!e Senator Thomas I'lint Jr. left. to- day for Mexico more than satisfled with the results of his trip south. The Sena- tor had a rousing reception yesterday at the Soldiers’ Home. It was his first visit to that institution. His lieutenants in the south, among whom are ex-Senator Rob- ert N. Bulla, Thomas Hughes, Arthur W. Kinney and Robert B. Wade, are well pleased with the impression Flint has made by his week's canvass through Los Angeles, Ban Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties. Senator Caldwell of Riverside, who is in Los Angeles, has advised Senator Flint that his county is solid for the anti-ma- chine candidate and declares that Sena- tor Flint has won a host of doubters dur- inx his recent visit in Riverside County. TROOPS IN READINESS TO LEAVE FOR MANILA Twenty-Seventh Infantry Will Sail as Soon as Transportation Is Provided. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Orders have been issued by the War Department di- recting the Twenty-seventh Infantry to sail for the Philippines as soon as trans- portation can be provided, Two battal- fons of the regiment are now" at the Piattsburg barracks, N. Y., and the other at Fort McPherson, Ga. The regiment | probably will proceed to Manila via New York and the Suez canal. A battalion of the Twenty-third Infan- try now in Colorado has been ordered to Fort McPherson, where the other two battalions now en route from the Philip- | pines will be sent on arrival. | The following cablegram, dated Manila, | November 16, was received at the War Department to-day from General Chaffee: “On October 30, while crossing Dodol River, Samar, on raft, Lieutenant Craw- ford, 'First Infantry, and six men, Ser: geant Albert Baier, Privates Frank H. Fitzgerald, Frederick W. Schander, P. O. Gilreath, Kersey Dowie, Guy McBeth, all of Company I, Fi Infantry, were drowned. All bodies recovered and buriea in Dodoi. The officer referred to is First Lieuten- ant Robert P. Crawford. General Chaf- fee's dispatch is confirmatory of advices recelved over a week ago. — .

HIS REST John McCarthy, Who struction of Many Assisted in the Con- Notable Buildings in This City, Dies After ‘Long Illness OHN 'McCARTHY, a “pioneer- con- tracting mason, whose ability as a builder is permanently represented in many of the most ‘imposing structures that this city boasts of, passed away yesterday morning at his family .residence, 1212 ' Treat avenue. Death was due to a complication of dis- cases from which the aged contractor had Suffered for the past seven years. In the building trades no man in San Francisco was better known or more respected that cCarthy. J‘”‘—;{‘e“@eceueé was a native of County Cork, Ireland, 60 years of age. en he was 14 years of age he went to London, where he apprenticed himself to iearn the trade of a mason. He spent five years in acquiring the rudiments of the mason's art. When 20 years of agé he came to America. He settled in Washington, D. C., and during General Grant's adminis- tration he was appointed to a responsible position in the Postal Department. It was not until 1873 that he came to this city, but his fame as a master work- man had preceded him and he was im- mediately employved to superintend the brickwork on the Palace Hotel, which was then in course of construction. Since his arrival in San Francisco Mr. McCar- | thy has been intimately identified with the upbuilding of the city. His work on the Claus Spreckels building. the Chron- icle, Spring Valley, Academy of Sclences, Starr King and many other notable build- ings will stand as a monument to his ability. Several years ago he discovered quick- silver ore on property owned by him at the corner of Devisadero and McAllister streets. The ore proved to be of such high grade that Mr. McCarthy sunk a shaft, but before actual work was com- menced -he abandoned the idea of be- coming a miner. He covered the site with flats, which have prcbably proved as re- munerative as the mine would have done had it_been worked. Mr. McCarthy was essentially domestic * = — VETERAN BUILDER AND CON- TRACTOR WHO DIED IN THIS CITY YESTERDAY. s - in-his inclinations and all the time that he did not devote to his work was spent with his family. Temperate in all his habits and attentive to his business, he succeeded in accumulating consideiable property. He was a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He leaves a wife and seven children, three boys and four girls. The funeral will take place Monday morning at 9 o'clock from St. Peter's Church. @ imiieieiieieimiimiiiml el @ BETTER SERVIGE FOR RICHMOND Western Union to Place a Branch in the District. The Richmond District is trying to get nearer the rest of the world and the Point Lobos Improvement Club is doing its best to bring about a state of affairs suitable to the residents of the district. Congress- man Loud has promised to see to the bet- terment of the postal service, but the Richmond people want something quicker than the Postoffice Department is able to provide. They want a telegraph officc, With this end in view the Point Lobos Improvement Club addressed an appeal to the Pacific Postal and Western ' Union Telegraph companies. The Postal Com- any declined to consider the proposition. 'hey sald that the telephone, which is installed In most residences could be used to transmit telegraphic messages to the telegraph company’s headquarters and that the company ‘Wwould be pleased to repeat, over the telephone, any mes- es recelved. The comy could not mord. however, to establish a branch office. The Western Union, however, submit- ted a proposition upon wheih the Rich- mond people will act as soon as possible. It was to establish an office in some store,, provided the storekeeper, or the district, would provide the operator. The company will not pay the operator an; salary but promises td maintain the of- fice and to pay a liberal commission to whoever takes charge. In this way the Richmond District expects to place itself within dot-and-dash_distance of every- where. The Point Lobos Improvement Club is now looking for an operator and it is expected that within a few weeks the ticks of Western Union instruments will be mingling with the other small dis. turbances of Richmond. Bonds for St. Mnry’i Square. A petition was filed yesterday with the Board of Supervisors by the St. Mary's Square Association requesting that. the board include in the proposed bond issue for schoolhouses, sewers and public parks an appropriation for the acquisition of lands for St, Mary’s square on the land bounded by Pine, California and Dupont streets and St. Mary’s place. —_———— Rionhart’s Flaxseed Balsam Wil cure your cough; 50 cents; at all druggists'. —— e 1 Smuggler Burna Jailed.

Torrence was finally caught and booked at the.park police station on charges of battery and disturbing the peace. —_———— Competitive Waste. Jack London spoke last night in the Academy of Sciences Auditorium uncer the auspices of the University of Chicago on “Competitive Waste.” ~ He argued against all kinds of competition, as, for instance, he declared department stores are beneficial to the community in that they permit the transaction of a lurge business with a very little expense. ————————— J. H. C. Portman’s Will Filed. The will of J. H. C. Portman, who died October 27 in Brannscluveig, Germany, was filed here yesterday. It disposes of property in this city valued at $75,000. By the terms of the will his widow is to have the use of the property during her life, and upon her death it goes to a half- brother, two nephews and @ neice. A be- uest of $10,000 is made to a hospital in ldenburg, Germany. SADORE (£S5 5 ) DEFAULTER Secretary of Barbers’ Union Departs to - Avoid Arrest. Spends Organization’s Money in Attempt to Secure City Office. Isadore Less, secretary of the Barbers’ Unlon, has departed from this city and there 1s a well defined rumor that he was compelled to seek other parts because he ‘was short in his accounts. Less was a candidate for Auditor on the Union La- bor party's ticket. In trying to secure election he was compelled to spend money for printing and making himself a good fellow. . Being without the necessary funds, Less borrowed the money that be- longed to the Barbers’ Union. ‘When the news of his defeat was pub- lished to the world Less was in a quan- dary. Ruin stared him in the face if he could not make up the amount he had taken from the organization. Rather than be arrested- for embezzlement and suffer imprisonment the secretary made up his mind to depart. Without telling anybody of his intentions Less left, it is said, for the City of Mexico. A meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Barbers’ Union was held yesterday afternoon and when Les: did not put in an appearance, the sus- pictons of the officers of the organization were aroused. An investigation of the secretary’s accounts showed that Less was short §1500. It was decided to keep the matter quiet in the hope that Less would return and make good \his defalca- tion. The dishonesty of tha_secretary soon leaked out and it was declded to re- rt the mattedto the police. Detectives ave been put on Less’ track, but up to the present time have obtained no trace of him. A member of the Barbers' Union stated last evening that Less had little trouble securing money with which to make his cam) . As secretary of the organiz- ation it was his duty to handle the funds. The treasurer, after receiving the money from him, usually turned over a certain -amount which Less was in duty bound to send to the parent organization in the East. He was in the habit of delaying the forwarding of these sums until they aggregated many hundreds of dollars. It is charged that he not only withheid money in this way, but also falsified his books in order to show that dues paid him were still due. Inquiry at the home of Less last night developed no clue to his Where- abouts. - His wife admitted that_her husband had not been home for two days, but said she had neither seen nor hear: from him since last Thursday morning. She said: “My husband left home as usual last ’l’hursdax morning in good spirits. He said nothing about leaving town, but_on the contrary told me to have,a good din- ner ready, as he would be home early. When he did not show up Thursday nigit I became uneasy and when Friday came I knew something had happened to keep him away. Mr. 88 was in the habit of carrying large sums of money around on his person and it may be that he was hel Y up. “I don’t think that he ran away with any of the money belonging to the Bar- bers’ Union. Mr. Less is an honest man and I don’t think he would steal. If he had stolen the money or gone to Mexico he would have said something to me about it or left the family provided for. He did not leave me a cent and for that rea- son I do not belleve he has gone. “h‘;(era Less may have been held up and robl and even hidden away by thieves. There are plepty of men who knew my husband carried money on his person all the time who might do an act of that kind. Until I hear it from his own lips I will not believe that he has run away with any of the funds.belonging to the Barbers” Union.” Mrs. Less could offer no explanation for her husband's act. She sald if he had spent the money during the recent po- litical campaign she knew nothing of it. She had not been out with him, she said, and therefore knew nothing of how much or how little he had spent in the hope of securing his election. At the reguiar meeting of Barbers’ Union No. 148 Monday night the propo- sition of deciding what steps will he taken on the part of the barbers to aid the local police in discovering the where- abouts of the absconding secretary will come up. Bicycle Thief Caught. Frank Dunn, who was employed by the Ringling Brothers circus, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Ryan, O'Dea and Hammill and charged with stealing four bicycles from Oakland. His alleged vie- tims are J. H. Edner, James Dolan, Hugo Plerce and W. H. Blake, all of whom live across the bay. The stolen wheels were found in different pawnshops in this city. Dunn will be formally booked on four charges of grand larceny to-morrow.
