Explains the Contradictory |Bids Sections of Primary Elec- ticn Law. City and County Attorney Franklin K. Lane has replied to the request of the Board of Election Commissioners for an | opinion regarding the necessity of a new | registration prior to the coming primary | election. He reviews the law as follows: Gentlemen: In to your question, “Can the registration of 1900 and 1901, witli the additional registrations and changes, to and | including August 2, 1902, be used for the pri- mary election to be held August 12, 1902, or answer. be made up from the registration of this year, { 1802, under section 1004 of the Politcal Code?’ i I submit the following: i The Smith law, so called, under Which regis- , tration is now conducted, provides for ‘‘a new | and complete registration” in each even-num- | bered year. *'Such registration shall begin on | the first day of January of such vears” (section | 1094 of the Political Code). The primary law | of 1901 requires that primary elections shall be held on the second Tuesday in the month of August in each even-numbered year for the | election of delegates to the State, district and { local conventions (1362, Politcat Code). 4 The question now arises whether the regis- | tration for the primary election should be & | partial or a complete registration, it being pro- \vided in section 1366 of the Political Code { “that where a new registrauon pursuant to law is not completed in point of time suffictent to permit of its use at the mext ensuing pri- mary election, then the original affidavits of registration and indexes used at the last general | election in any county or city and county in | this State may be used at any primary election | together with the original affidavits of registra- tion since the last election and supplemental | indexes, showing all additional registrations, changes and corrections made since the last general election registration, completed to and including the tenth day prior to the primary election, which shall be the last day on which any persen may register or transfer his regis- tration to entitle him to vote at any such pri- | mary.” | Made to Meet Necessities. to meet the necessities of elections coming so early in the year as to make it impossible to secure a full registration of voters, Many cities hold their municipal elections in the early portions of the year and for these the law has made provision in section 1362 of the Political Code, wherein it is said: “'In any year when by-law an election is to be neid in any city or town of this State for the purpose of electing city or town officers, primary elections for the election of delegates to such city conventions | | | | ing the election for such public officers in such | eity or town.” | it would be manifestly impossible to obtain a | complete new registrationof the voters in any city | after the first day of January of an even-num- ¢ held six weeks bered year in time for a’primi ch city election prior to the city election, if | the year. | pleted in time a full ‘new registration should not be required, but that In such cases the old registration—that of the last general election— should be supplemented by such new registra- tion as might be made and additional indexes. | T do not take it to have been the intention | of the Legislature that when a ful new regis- | tration is possible for a primary ur any other | election the older registration shall be used. complete registration of “all’” voters is not to | be expected, for some do ot care to register, | others may not have the opportunity and others may neglect to do so. Therefore I assume that the law does not use the word pleted” as that word is used in section 13 supra. or the word “‘complete’” as used in sec must the register to be used at the said primary , The last quoted provision is obviously mage | shall be held on the sixth Monday next preced- | came within the first three or four months of | Therefore the law has provided that | where such new registjation could not be com- | More Time to Begin Construction, Must Be Invited for Printing Transcripts on Appeal. i Consideration of the bill providing for | the repeal of the ordinance granting a | franchise to the Bay and Coast Railway Company to enter the ecity at Twenty- fourtah and Illinois streets and to oper- ate a steam road on certain' streets was postponed for one week by the Board of Supervisors yesterday. Attorney Baggett addressed the board with a request that it direct the Board of Works to issue a permit to the com- | pany to, do the work, and that sixty days be granted in which to expend $25,- 000, as required by the original ordinance. Baggett assured the board that the road would be built within the time specified or the board could then repeal the fran- chise, The permit had been refused by the Board of Works, grades had not yet been established. City Engineer Grunsky read from a re- port which stated that grades have been established on many of the streets pro- | posed to be crossed by the Bay and Coast line. Part of the route lies tnrough private property over which the board has no control and grades on about one- half of the route remain to be estab- lished. Braunhart introduced resolutions ) granting the company an extension of | sixty days and directing the Board of | Works to issue the necessary permit. | Curtis opposed any further extension, | claiming that the road is a myth and that the promoters have not the money | to begin ~construction. The resolutions | were referred to the Street Committee. | Bids for Transcripts. The County Clerk was directed by reso- lution to call for competitive bids for | printing transcripts on appeal in crim- inal cases. If the work is not givén to the lowest responsible bidder, the de- mands will not be approved. The de- | mands must be submitted to the board for approval before they are presented to the Auditor and Treasurer for pay- ment. The City Attorney was similarly direct- ed to call for competitive bids for the | printing of all briefs and transcripts in | clyil cases. The Board of Works was requested to furnish a list of all street corners on | which no signs are placed, designating | the names of intersecting streets, and to | furnish_an estimate of the cost of erect- | ing said sign: The ordinance prohihiting the use by | livery stable keepers of horses or vehicles | entrusted to their care was finally passed. | Similar action was taken on the ordin- ance prohibiting frauds by hirers of horses or vehicles.

Crackbon Testifies That He Fired Only to Stop the Suspect. U - We, the ‘jury, find that Joseph { Pedro came to his death January 24 ai the hands of Police Officer J. F. Crackbon in the discharge of his duty, and we further find that Officer Crackbon was blameless in the matter. 5 Such is the essential portion of the ver- ‘dict rendered by the Coroner’s jury yes- terday in the inquest upon the body of Jose Pedro, who was mistaken by the of- their. testimony Officer Joseph _Albert Crackbon took the stand and told how he had come to Kkill a respectable citizen. The officer told first how he had followed F. Jones, driver of a milk wagon, from Mission gand Eleventh streets to Mission and Sixteenth streets and searched him for weapons, suspecting Jones of being a footpad or a burglar. While trailing Jones the officer noticed Pedro walking along Mission street, on the same side and a lit- “tle ahead of them. When-Crackbon left the milk driver he saw Pedro standing at the entrance to Pattosien’s carpet store. The officer, as he expressed it, “sneaked along’ the southwest corner of Mission and Sixteenth streets, and Pedro turned around and came right back toward him. Crackbon stepped into the shadow of a doorway and watched him, and when he got about twelve or fifteen feet the of- | ficer stepped out in the moonlight. Pedro, without moving, asked him, ‘“Can you teil me where, Sixteenth street, between Mis- sion and Howard, is?” s “I sald, ‘Yes; it is right ‘down here,’ " continued Crackbon. ‘‘‘“What number do you want?" "’ Reaches for Hip Pocket. “‘1911," he said, and I said, ‘There’'s no such number. Are you a stranger here? and took one step down, and he backed up to the edge of the sidewalk quickly and went down into his hip pocket. I covered him with my pistol and sald, ‘Take your hand off that, quick, or I'll kill you.” He turned away and ran stooping forward. I then shot into the sidewalk about twen- ty feet in front of me, and he was about forty feet away. ' 1 heard him make a corner.” The witness then told how he searched for Pedro and was unable to find him, and how he telephoned to the police station that he had shot at a man. He told his brother officers that he had shot at a man, but did not know whether or not he had 'hit him. ‘‘My only intention was to stop him,” said Crackbon. “The only thing that seemed to frighten him was when I told him I was a police officer and showed him my star. 1f I was a citizen and a man ficer for a fleeing footpad and shot through the back. i After all the other witnesses had given ‘No, sir,; said Pedro, ‘I have been here this last time between five and six | months.’” I said, ‘I am a police officer,’ sound like ‘ugh,” and he ran around the i Mrs. Mamie Herbert, 56 Elmwood Ave,, !

My improvement was slow, but from the first bottle I felt that I was better, and so I kept up couraze and continued the treatment. None of my friends ever dreamed that I would be well again, but I have now enjoyed life to its fullest extent for three years.” — Mrs. Mamie HERBERT. 85000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE. ‘When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhcea, displacement or uleeration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general (iebility, indigestion, and nervous pros- tration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, “all- gone” and “ want-to-be-left-alone” feelings, blues and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy.

O. SNWO0D 718 Market Street. Whereas, There is at present a resolution be- | tion 1004 supra, in an absolute sense, as mean- | ing a registration of all who may be entitled to register. Defines Registration. | A complete registration may properly be de- | fined, 1 thiak, as one wherein all entitied to | register have been given full opportunity to do | 50 after ample notice. A new registration is a | registration de novo, a registration independ- | ent of all others, one not supplemental to any | other. A new and complete registration would | be one that was entire in itself and contained the necessary data concerning all voters who presented themselves for registration, ample notice Leing given to all voters that such regis- | tration was necessary and was proceeding as the law required. This character of registra- tion may be as easily ‘obtained, in my judg- | ment, prior to the date of the primary election | in August as it would be prior to the general | | election in November. That Is to say, there is | abundant.time for a full new registration be- | | fore the primary election, and therefore 1 do | not_feel that we would be justified in fallin | | | back upon that language in section 1366 supra which permits the use at certain primary ele tions of a registration partly old and partly new. ‘ The law requires a complete new registration beginning with the first day of this vear, and such registration may In fact be “‘completed in point of time sufficient to permit of its use™ at the primary election in August. It may be | that a primary election held upon the theory that only stupplemental registration was neces- sary would not be thereby invalidated, but I am satisfled that it was not the intention of the Legislature to permit the use of hold-over affi- davits of registration when such use could be | avotaed, | Adwuises New Registration. I advise therefore that your board proceed at once to a new registration and that all pos- | sible effort be made to make such reaistration | as fwil as possible prior to the primary elec- | tion in August,.and that notice be given that such new registration alone will be used at such | primary election. | The decision of the question regarding the registration for the primary election it is said will possibly be applied to the question of a special election for a bond issue for the acquirement of public utili- ties as suggested by the last administra- tion. If the same theory holds good, 1t will be a long time before the voters of | San Francisco will be called upon to vote | upon a bond issue. L e e S Y ) Joining counties shall be conducted within the city and county of San Francisco so as to re- | sult in the expenditure of & portion of the moneys incident thereto within said city and countyg now, therefore, be it Resblved, That we, the Stable and Carrlage Owners' Association, are heartily in favor of sald resolution, inasmuch as it Wil be of mar terial benefit fo the members of the associa- tlon and result in the expenditure of at least | §100,000 per month within this city and county that' is now being expended In adjoining cour. ties, and thereby benefit the city and county in general; be it further Resolved, That each and every member of this assoclation appear in person and advocate the passage of this resolution next Monday. The discussion was an interesting one. Dr. Dalziel, who introduced the resolu- ton, told of the importance of advocating the reopening of the track. He stated | that it would not only benefit the city, but would aid every member of the or- ganization. The speaker called attention to the fact that there was racing on every side, and if other counties were to benefit by it he was of the opinion that ga_nd Francisco should likewise be bene- ted. E. G. Plerce, J. J. Doyle, E. R. P and Mr. Holland, leading members o!egl:g organization, were in accord with Dr, Dalziel. They all favored the passage of the resolution and sald they would do everything in their power to secure the reogenins of the track.

Nothing was found on the body that would lead to its identification. On the back of a saloon card was written in penc cll, “J. H. Bates, 2% Mission street.

Bran- | destein raised a point of order that a permit_could not be granted to violate | an ordinance, as Willlams street is less than thirty-five feet wide. The bill declaring that public interest | demands the acquisition of a children’s playground south of Market street was recommitted to the Public Utilities Com- mittee. Bfaunhart said it would be a waste of money to pass the measure 0 | print, as the charter required that with- in two weeks an ordinance must be | passed submitting to the people the ques- tion whether a bond election shall. be called. - Braunhart thought the other declaratory ordinance would have to go to print again and advised delay until the City Attorney’s opinion is received. Controversy With Superior Judge. The resolution directing the Board .of Public Works to remove the canopy and furniture in the court room now occu- pied by Department 6 of the Superior Court, and to place the court room in the possession of the Public Library, was deferred for one week. The resolution also directs the removal to the Hall of Justice of such furniture as may be nec- essary to accommodate Department 6. Braunhart explained that Superior Judge Dunne_had expressed his intention to move his court to the Hall of Justice, and the controversy will end. The Mayor was authorized to receive bids for ex-Treasurer Widber's prope! in Contra Costa and San Francisco, the title to it being vested in the city.

Fred P. Callundan Dies. Fred P. Callundan, who for many years was the assistant State quarantine offi- cer of this port, died on Sunday at St. Joseph’s Home for Incurables at the age of years. The deceased was born in New York City and came to the Pacific Coast about twenty yvears ago. After he left the State quarantine service he was connected with the State fish patrol ser- vice for four years. For the past two years Callundan was in poor health, and though everything possible was done for him he succum! to an incurable ail- ment. Callundan’s !I,meral will take place this morning at 11 o’clock from Halsted's undertaking parlors and the interment will be private’ Fred P. Callundan was a_half-brother of Captain J. J.

At this stage of the proceedings the brother of Pedro asked permission to question the officer. “I want to know when my brother asked him the direction of the streets why he | didn’t walk down with him and see if there wasn't such a number. He might have known that my brother was a hay- seed and didn’t-know anything about the city and never carried a gun in his life.” For reply Crackbon repeated the con- versation that he had had with Pedro. Crackbon admitted that he was not in uniform, but said that when he told Pedro that he was a police officer he pulled o v | made the autopsy on the body of Pedro, | and that the bullet had an inclination of more than forty-five degrees, ranging in- ward, upward and backward and lodging behind the breastbone. It was his opinion that the bullet struck the pavemept and then entered the body. It was impossible J that the bullet could haye been fired from the level. F. Jones, the driver for the Great East. ern’ Dairy, testified that when Crackbon overhauled him he asked Crackbon who he was.* “I wanted to know who he was, ut all T could get out of him was that he wanted to know what I was doing.” This concluded the testimony and the jury retired and agreed upon the forego- | ing verdict. GUGGENHEIM’S PARROT WANTED AS A WITNESS Citizens Testify There Are No Un- usual Noises at Mrs. Atkin- son’s Sanitarium. The long drawn out case of Mrs. Reeves Atkinson, charged with maintaining a nuisance in the shape of a private sani- tarium at 1815 Sutter street was called in Judge Fritz's court yesterday afternoon, ‘when more witnesses for the defgnse were heard. Mrs. Guggenheim's parrot came in for conslderable attention. Mrs. Clara Wadsworth, daughter of the defendant, was recalled. She reiterated her statement that the cries of “Amelia” came from Mrs. Guggenheim's parrot and she had learned that the Christian fame of Mrs. Guggenheim's mother was “‘Ame- lia.” S. H. Ewing, head nurse at the sanitarium, also testified that the parrot was constantly screaming ‘‘Amelia.” There were dozens of cats in the neigh- borhood which made night hideous with their noise. Drs. George Morton and E. R. Bry: ant testified that they had patients at the sanitarfum at different times and had vis- ited them at all hours of the day and night and never heard any unusual noises. B. Katschinski of the Philadelphia shoe store testified that his sister was a pa- tient at the institution and he had vis- ited her at all hours, but heard no un- usual noises. Neighbors of the defendant had advised him to take his sister away, but he was quite satisfled with the treat- ment she got there. Chief Deputy Coroner McCormick testi- fled that for the three years he had held that position the Morgue wagon had never been sent to the sanitarium. This concluded the evidence for the day and the case was continued. The defendant’s attorney made a sug- gestion that Mrs. Guggenheim's parrot should be brought into court, but _the Judge frowned it down. ———— Insurance Policy Is Sued For. Bertha Schadt and Hermina Curienx and their mother, Mrs. Ernestine Pfaff, filed a sult yesterday against the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York for $i950, due on an Insurance policy issued to the late January Pfaff, who was the di- vorced husband of Mrs. Pfaff and father of the other two plaintiffs. Charles Jan- sen, administrator of Pfaff’s will, claims the amount due on the poli on behalf of Annie E. and Frankie Pfaff, a son and daughter of Frank S. Pfaff, a brother of the deceased. —— - Japanese Club Incorporates. The articles of the Murasaki Sogjal and Literary Glub, an organization formed by Japanese residents of this city for the urpose of fostering and encouraging riendship and sociability among the na- tives of the land of the Makado residing here, were filed yesterday. The officers the club are: Frank Murakami, pre dent; L. C. Kikukawa, secretary, and F. Hayashi, treasurer. Responses have been received by Secre- tary Filcher of the State Board of Trade from representati®es of California in Con- 8ress In response to communications sent It | aside his overcoat and exhibited his star. | Di D. Bacigalupi testified that he | said | to them relative to reciprocity matters at Washington. With Secretary Filgher’s letters he sent to-each Senator and Con- gressman from California a copy of a set of resolutions adopted by the State Board of Trade at the last meeting of that body, which constituted'a memorial asking the | California delegation to oppose abatement or removal of the present tariff rates upon Cuban sugar and tobacco and such | reciprocity agreements with other coun- tries as abate the rates on citrus and other fruits of California and upon other | products of the soil of the United States: also setting forth that the proposed changes in favor of Cuba are inimical to the interests of the farmers of this State and of the whole country. The responses of the California repre- sentatives are in accord with the posi- tion taken by the State Board of Trade. Probably those who have not had time to answer will be heard from in a day or two. The following are the letter§ re- ceived up to last night: I am in receipt of yours of, the 15th inst., with resolutions of the board, protesting against the abolition of the present tariff on Cuban sugar and tobacco. I would state that I am In hearty accord with the Board of Trade and shall oppose any effort to_diminish the pro- tection afforded by the tariff to California beet sugar, citrus fruit and other interests. Very truly yours, GEORGE C. PERKINS. I am In receipt of yours of the 15th inst., containing resolutions adopted by your honor- | able y relative to reciproctty with Cuba, | and beg to reply that the same shall receive from me very careful consideration. Very truly yours, E. T.-LOI 1 am in receipt of yours of the 15th inst. inclosing _resolutions regarding _reciprocity treaties, and beg to assure you that no stone ‘will be left unturned by myself to secure the defeat of any reciprocity measure that may come before the House. 1 think the California delegation is substantially a unit in this re- gard. Sincerely yours, JULIUS KAHN. T am just In receipt of yours of the 15th inst., relative to_reciprocity with Cuba. etc. The California delegation Is a unit in opposing any reduction in the present tariff rates on Cuban sugar and tobacco.
