It has already secured the Pal- ace Hotel for the week that the conclave will be in session. The committeemen also sought to secure two other large hotels, but could not get an answer from the managers for the reason that before 1904 the leases will expire and the managers could not guarantee accommodations. The Knights Templar in the United States have a membership of 128,000, dis- tributed in forty-three Grand Command. | eries in the States and Territorles. It is expected that during conclave week there will be more than 70,000 strangers here, and the California Knights expect to raise between $80,000 and $9,000 to entertain the e Knights met in conclave in this eity in August, 1883, the conclave opening on the 20th of that month. On August 24 the grand officers of the Grand Encampment, together with the Grand Army of the Re- Euhllc, which held its grand encampment ere at the same time, laid the corner- stone of the Garfield monument in Golder Gate Park. During that week there was a competitive drill between the corps of a number of the commanderies. and the first prize went to De Molay Command- ery. During the next conclave there will also be a tgrand competitive drill, for which California will offer a number of valuable trophies.

EDY WAS THE CULMINATION OF A DISPUTE OVER A DOG, — WHICH OCCURRED THE TRAG- i e & Fred Roller in a saloon at 412 Franklin street on Tuesday night, appeared before Judge Conlan yesterday morning. By consent the preliminary examination was contin- ued for one weelk. Flaherty says that when Louise Alve- rez, with whom he was on friendly terms, telephoned to him that her pet dog had been stolen he went to the saloon intend- ing to demand the return of the canine. His story of the shooting, as told to the police, follows: ~ 1 was crazy drunk and did not know what I was doing. i went in the saloon and it looked like there were a dozen men there. The wo- man who telephoned to me about the dog is Louise Alveres. When I received the tele- phone message from her I was in Bloomer's saloon at Golden Gate avenue and Jones street. The telephone message came into the Golden Gate stables. I went to the stables She said something about her dog being stolen by the people in the grocery. She said she was out on Hayes street and I sald I'd get the dog for her. I went into tbe saloon and said, ““Give me the dog,” and a_ man jumped up at me and the gun went off. I took the pistol out of my pocket so the men would give me the dog. The gun went off while 1 had hold of it. Nobody touched' me and nobody touched the gun. 1 went to Bloomer's after I telephoned and bad one more drink. I then went out on the Hayes-street car. I got off at Franklin I met Louise before I went into the saloon. She said, ““They stole my dog; they stole.my dog.” She sald they stole it in the store. I said I would go in and try to get it for her. 1 am not sure that she went in with me. She did not name any one who stole the dog. I had my pistol in my pocket for a few months. I had 'no permit to carry it. I carrled the pistol because Charles McDermott threatened to kill me. I think McDermott lives on Mission street. He is a blacksmith. McDermott and I had some trouble over the drinks at Bloomer's. He said, “I'll_ cut your guts out.” He did not try to do it.. 1 have seen him since then. He was in the saloon the other night and I was talking to him. 1 think the gun went off the second time. I don’t know whom I shot at. 1 was drunk and shaking and the gun went off. I don’t remember having a drink after leaving the grocery. 1 remember after spbering up of the officer walking me to the City Hall. I ADVERTISEMENTS.

When I got on ‘the car I thought I was going out onto Hayes street. 1 used to walk downtown on Grove strezt and when I rode home I always g0t off the car at Franklin street. When Louise telephoned to me she said she was at home. Getting off at Franklin street is nearer to her house. 1 gave the dog to Louise. I got it from Dr. Frezll of Bakersfleld. 1 got It about two ‘months ago. Louise rented the place and I pay the rent. She paid $3 to en- gage it and I paid the rest when I came home. I have been living at 241 Ivy avenue for nearly one month. I don’t know that any one knew that I had the pistol. Louise was liv- ing with me at 222 Golden Gate avenue. I lived there for three or four months. I think she said *‘Louise” or ‘‘Mrs. Flaherty’” when she telephoned to me. We have been living as man and wife. I am 26 years old. My full name is Thomas George Flaherty. I am a barkeeper. I have not worked since January 20. The Jast place I worked was at Bloomer's saloon. Before that I went to the Samoan Islands with N. J. Weaver as his valet and I also took care of a couple of horses I had been breaking for him. I got back from the Sa- moan Islands about one vear ago. I first met Louise on Market street. Some one intro- duced her to me. She s 20 years old. Her pedple live in Los Angel I don’t know that she is married. Last night Detective Dillon and Police Officer Crowley located the dog over which the shooting occurred at the resi- dence of Mrs. Bachigalupi at 23§ Ivy ave- nue, She says that she picked up the do, on Franklin street, and thinking it hax been lost took it to her home. L e e e e ] Mrs. Ellis Restrained. John Abrook brought suit yesterday for an order restraining Clara Eliis, daugh- ter of the late Mary Kiiroy, whom Abrook claims to have been his wife, from draw- ing from the Crocker-Woolworth Bank the sum of $18.000 on deposit there in the name of Mrs. Kilroy. Mrs. Ellis secured letters of administration upon the estate of Mrs. Kilroy, and the question of her right to_such letters is now being heard before Judge Sloss. Judge Hebbard is- sued the order, making, it returnable be- fore him Friday, February 7. —————— Resigns From the Pullman Service. The Pullman Car Company is making efforts to economize and many changes are being made in their offices throughout the country. Hiram A.

T0 BE REDEEMED Republican Candidate for Governor to Come From North. Mose Gunst’s Visit to White House With a Paper From Bankers. The politicians are discussing the ques- tion; “‘Is Gage in honor bound to stand by the pledges made by his southern sup- porters at the Sacramento State conven- tion of 18987 When the Republican State conventlon of that year gave the nomina- tion for Governor to the south the dels- gates from the southern counties assured the convention that they would all stand in for a man from the north for Gover- nor in 1902. Pledges of this character have been respected in California. In the Harrison campaign of 1888 the State Central -Committee surveyed the fleld ble earnest and enthusiastic work in the counties south of Tehachapl. It was known that there h@d been a large im- migration to that section since the pre- cewng election of 1356 and speclal emort Wwas advised 10 get e NEWCUMErS regis- tered. ‘Ine Los Angeles politiclans wers told by the State committee that the north ‘would stand in for a Republican irom the south for Governor in 1sw it the Iepublicans of the south would raise a certaln sum of money for campaign ex- penses and bring out the full Republican vote south of ‘Lehachapi for Harrisen. I'ne agreement was maae and carried out. The Los Angeles politicians raised the money and brought out the Republican vote of that reglon. Harrison -carried California by a majority approximating 7000. In 18% the leading Repubiicans of the north went to the State convention at Sacramento and assisted in nominating H. H. Markham for Governor. Moreover, the northern and central Republican counties elected him. Markham made a statement to the State Central Commit- tee at the beginning of the campaign that he would carry his own county of Los Angeles by five thousand. The majority was 3500 below his estimate. The un- wavering Republicans north of Tehachapi pulled him through. If Stanford’s man- ager had not used a barrel of money to ald candidates for the Legislature E. B. Pond would have walked away with the gubernatorial prize. Can Gage Be Elected Again? The politicians are also asking the ques- tion: *“Can Gage be elected again?’ It is claimed by some of the keen observers that the machine is strong enough to force his nomination, but the question presents itself: “Will the voters of the State stand for a nomination forced by the machine?” Republicans will tolerate a good deal of programming for the sake of party unity, but it has been clearly demonstrated that they will not submit to as raw a_programme as that which Herrin and Burns forced om the local convention which nominated Asa R. Wells for Mayor and Arthur G. Fisk for District Attorney. The delegates to the convention did not know who the candi- dates were until the bosses handed them a slip containing the names. There is bound to be a vigorous protest on the part of anti-boss Republicans against the appointment of delegates to the next State convention, The grlma.ry election law stands and is likely to stand until the Legislature re- peals it. The spirit of the law is to give voters the right to select delegates to the nominating conventions of their respec- tive parties. In San Francisco at the last primary electlon at least 6000 Democrats took part in the election of delegates to the Republican convention. At the pri- mary election next August the Democrats will probably take a hand in electing the delegates to their own party convention. If the Democrats can find an issue and a candidate of great popularity they will make a big fight to carry the State. The announcement on the part of Dr. Pardee that he is a candidate for the Re- publican nomination for Governor will give George Hatton, the manager of Sen- ator Perkins, a splendid opportunity to display his skill as a balancer. Hatton cannot afford to give Pardee a point at the expense of Gage, and neither can he do anything for Gage which would tend to embarrass Pardee. Hatton must per- force abide in the neutral zone and sing sweetly to all the candidates for Gover- nor or utter no sound whatever. Senator Perkins confidently relies on a solid dele- gation from Alameda County, and his manager must see to it that nothing shall prevent that result. When it comes to a balancing trick the Senator is a pretty good hand himself, and for this special occasion the manager may become the understudy. Bank Managers Take a Hand. The true story regarding John C. Lynch’s indorsement by the leading banks of San Francisco is no longer a secret in so far as it relates to_the pre- sentation of the document to President Roosevelt. The directors and stockhold- ers of the Bank of California, the Ne- vada Bank, San Francisco National Bank, Crocker-Woolworth Bank, Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank and the Anglo-Californian Bank may want to know the special rea- sons for the indorsement of Lynch by their respective banks, but for this in- formation they must apply to their man- agers and cashiers. The Call at this time can only tell them that the indorsement of the San Francisco banking-houses was presented to the President by Moses Gunst of the Washoe Bank, There was a little ceremony attending the presenta- tion. At a leading hotel in Washington George A. Knight, W. C. Van Fleet, Moses Gunst and Julius Kahn sat down to lunch and affairs of state were dis- cussed. At length the subject of finance was introduced, which led naturally to banking topics and ultimately to the me- morial from the San Francisco banks. Moses Gunst produced the paper with the original signatures, and it was the sense of the party at lunch that he should take it to the White House and_place it in the hands of the President. Later on the party was advised that Moses had done his duty. “PLUNGER” LEWIS LEAVES MANY BEHIND TO MOURN Faro Game ‘“Framed AUp" for Him Helped to Tumble Him From His Pedestal. “Plunger” Lewis has left behind two crowds to regret his sudden departure for the more hospitable blizzard belt. The bookmakers who lost by his ‘“‘welching™ are probably not half so much perturbed over his departure—for after all he made betting panicky—as are the set of fellows who have been lying awake nights devis- ing ways to separate the nervy bettor lrgm his suddenly acquired wealth. Some of these plotters “landed,” and Monday night a faro game was “framed up” for him, and it is said that when he stopped bucking it he was several thou- sand dollars poorer. The total amount owed by Lewis at the track is $1950, distributed &s follows: C. Young, $850; Cash & Co., $100; Melbourne Club, $200; Joe Rose, $300; Hoffman & Co., $200; A. Andrews, $300; Frank Eckart, $300; Harlan & Co., $300. The horses, Pompino and Marion Lynch, which Lewis was supposed to own, are held by S. Judge, their former owner, by virtue of a bill of sale. The plunger got away, it is said, on money obtained by pledging diamond ear- rings which he had presented to a fair ad- mirer some weeks ago. They had cost him $400 originally. Jack McEwen, a bartender who had the bar at the Thornton Hotel at Butte, Mon- tana. during the summer racing, says that Lewis was there and was at the track day. His companion, presumably mmy” Rosenthal, passed as his broth- er, both being known under another name than Lewis. They pretended to be sur- veyors, and, according to McEwen, they left many worthless checks as souvenirs of thefr visit. gl A S S Dies of His Wounds. : Fred Rippick, who was shot by Max Klaus December 7 last during a row over a woman, died last evening in the Re- ceiving Hospital.

CINCINNAT —————eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL GRANT TRIAL TO SUSPENDED TEACHER Chz}rges Made by Principal Lyser Against Miss McKinney Are to Be Fully Investigaied. The Board of Education met yesterday and set next Tuesday at 2 p. m. as the time to hear the charges preferred against Miss Mary C. McKinney by Principal Al- bert Lyser. Judge Hunt decided that the board could not suspend a teacher pend- ing an investigation and ' Attorney Cos- tello filed a petition that Mis§ McKinney be reinstated. Mr. Costello held that put- ting Miss McKinney on the eligible list with pay was a degradation and Director ‘Woodward and Superintendent Webster agreed with him. The board held, how- ever, that Miss McKinney had not been degraded and declined to assign her to a class. In his peitition Attorney Costello says: The history of Miss McKinney's case is the history of & gross outrage perpetrated against a teacher in our schools.. The preferring of the charges of insanity against Miss MeKin- ney by Professor Albert Lyser was a cowardly act and should meet with the reprobation of this board as it has met with the condemna- tion of the press and the people of this com- munity. In the face of the fact that the par- ents of every pupll In Miss McKinney's class earnestly petitioned the former Board of Edu- cation that she be retained in her position and that the only representative of the Board of Education who visited Miss McKinney’s class in the John Swett Grammar School reported that she was a successful teacher, the former Board of Education saw fit to suspend Miss McKinney from her position as a regular teacher in the department and place her on the eligible list, although with full pay. The ruling of Judge Hunt was also ap- plicable to the case of Professor Willlam Zim- merman, who was unlawfully suspended by this board. I respectfully submit that Pro- fessor Zimmerman be restored to his former position or If this would be productive of dis- cord in the Polytechnic High School that he be assigned to some school of equal grade. Supervisor Payot Loses Contract. Director Woodward protested when the beard was about to order the pur- chase of supplies under contract from Payot, Upham & Co., on the greund that Henry Payot, a member of the firm, is also a member of the Board of Super- visors. Woodward directed attention to the fact that the charter forbade the award of contracts to any city officials. President Denman _ thereupon notified Storekeeper McAuliffe not to buy any more supplies from the firm named and the contract will be rescinded. This action will result in a loss to the firm of $7000 or $3000 yearly, as that amount of sup- plies has been furnished annually by it to_the School Department. Superintendent Webster reported that Joseph O’Connor, prineipal of the Mission High School, had fixed a time schedule contrary to the rules of the board. The pupils are called at 8:38 a. m., are allowed one and_ one-half hours for lunch and dismissed at 3 p. m. Director Mark ex- plained that O’Connor had been given permission by former president Mrs. Kin- caid to try the schedule as gn experiment. Mark will investigate the allegation that many pupils have left the school rather than submit to the schedule. Director Woodward announced that he will move at the next meeting to create a contingent fund to be used by the prin- cipals for petty repairs. Woodward sald that some $5000 of school funds was ex- pended by the Board of Works to repair schools, yet the school directors have no voice as to how the work shall be done. ‘Woodward sald that requisitions for sup- plies were presented for his signature three weeks after they were furnished to the Building Bureau.

The beard took the protest under advisement. A similar protest was filed with the Board of Supervisors. Miss Ada Goldsmith, on the recom- mendation of the prineipal of the Mission High School, was appointed head of the histery department of the school. y Attorney was requested to take action so as to enable the School Lepartment to secure possession of ths land belonging to it on _the northwest corner of Thirteenth and Filimore streets The Board of Supervisors was requested to order graded Dorland street, between Church and Delores, and to order a side- walk to be laild on the west side of Dolores street, between Dorland and Eighteenth. The Board of Public Works was re- quested to make a rough draft for the addition of six rooms to the Hearst School. Leaves of absence were granted to Miss L. Burnham and Miss Elizabeth Mec- Donaid. Miss Liner was transferred from the Grant to the Agassiz School. Director Woodward was placed in charge of the buildings and repair de- partment and authorized to sign the requisitions on the Board of Public ‘Works. Woodward presented a resolution pro- viding that the office hours of the schooi directors be so arranged that at least one schaol director will be in the office eves day. The resolution was taken under a visement. Superintendent Webster was authorized to_advertise the proposed examination for coicred children who desire to take ad- vantage of the Hochstadter hequest un- der the pian which has already been pub- lished.
