MRS, JOHN ALLANSON, rchard ave., Elmburst, Alameds County, Cal. inst the police de- | or not having a respon- | D0 NOT DELAY | | The place in the Board of Supervisors | made vacant by the death of L. J. Dwyer will be filled by appointment. The charter | vests the appointing power in the Mayor | and at the proper time Mayor Schmitz will doubtless exercise his prerogative. It is the impression that the Mayor will appoint some candidate on the late ticket of the Union Labor party and the choice is not likely to fall on one who stands a good chance of winning a seat in the board by a recount of the votes. | It is gossip in political circles that the readjustment of power in the board will result in the displacement of Charles Fay from the position of clerk. All the strength that the Democrats were able to rally was put forward to elect Mr. Fay as the successor of John A. Russell and since that strength is diminished the in- dications are that Fay not be re- tained. The fact is known to politicians on the inside that Mayor Phelan in the closing hours of his administration ap- pealed to Republicans through the agency of Phil Crimmins for assistance in behalf of Fay. Supervisor Boxton was asked¥by The request was conveyed from Crimmins to the Su- pervisor by Ed Williams, who was re- cently deposed from his office of clerk of the Justices’ Court. The Supervisors will probably deem it prudent to select a clerk whose relations toward Crimmins are not of a sympathetic character. San Jose Spring Election. The newspaper organs of the Gage ma- | chine, believing that Johnny Mackenzie's | forces are likely to achieve a triumph | over the E. A. Hayes and J. W. Rea | factions in the San Jose spring election, | are now claiming that such a result would signify a victory for Gagé over Preston, Flint, Pardee, Edson and all other Re- publican aspirants for the gubernatorial nomination | Just before the November election in San neisco the machine programmers predicted that the election of Wells would be a great victory for Gage, but after the defeat of their candidate the word was quickly given out that the Governor's friends took no hand in the fight. The fact is well known that Johnny Macken- zie, Dan Kevane, Walter Parker and others were here helping Crimmins, Her- rin, Goldberg, Gunst, Lynch and Dibble to boom Wells' candidacy. If Johnny | Mackenzie wants to make the next con- | test in Santa Clara County a Gage fight {in advance of the primaries, let him make an open announcement to that effect, so that Republicans who would be willing to support another candidate for Governor | may fall in with Hayes or Rea. State League Convention. | Some of the newspapers in the south | entertain the idea that the biennial con- vention of the State League of Republi- can Clubs in San Jose next April is to be a Flint demonstration. The notion is er- roneous. The indorsement of candidates is strictly prohibited by the by-laws of the league. The purpose of the conven- tion is to awaken party enthusiasm and bring voters to the support of Republi- can principles. The convention at Los Angeles in May, 190, elected Alden An- derson president of the league and select- | ed San Jose as the place of meeting in | 1%02. No doubt E. F. Preston, Frank H. | Short, E. B. Edson, E. P. Colgan, George | | C. Pardee, Thomas Flint Jr., Henry T. | Gage, Harold T. Power and others who have been mentfoned as worthy to head the State ticket may attend the big con- vention, and every one will be entitled to | 211 the applause he can get. The orators | among them General W. H. L. Barnes, | | Samuel M. Shortridge, D. A. McKinlay | and George A. Knight of San Francisco, | John F. Davis of Amador, Judge Me- | Kinley of Los Angeles, S. C. Smith of Kern, Judge Melvin of Alameda and | many others of the guild eloquent, may { come in for the honors of applause. Mr. | Shortridge is already in training for the | April event. He goes to Bakersfield in a few days to speak of Lincoln on the oc- | casion of a celebration there in honor of the great President’s birthday. YOUNG JOEN GLASON | BOOKED FOR MURDER m nose to throat, from | Fatal Result of a Fight Between Boys | thira A in the Eureka Boiler ‘Works. George Knoblock, the boy who had a fight with John Glason, another boy, about two weeks ago at the Eureka Boil- er Works, where they were employed, died at his father’s residence, 3318 Folsom street, Friday night, and yesterday morn- ing Glason, who is only 14 years of age, was booked at the City Prison on a charge of murder. He had previously been arrested on a charge of assault to murder. The boys had been bitter enemies for some time and it culminated in a fist tight Glason claims that he knocked Knoblock down and in falling Knoblock's head struck against a vise, fracturing his skull On the other hand, it is alleged that Gla- son struck Knoblock on the head with a piece of iron, fracturing his skull. Last Wednesday the police were notified that Knoblock was dying, and Glasap was taken to his bedside by Detective Freel, accompanied by Louis Ward of the Dis. trict Attorney’s office, to take Knoblock's ante-mortem statement. He refused to be- lieve that he was to die and would not make any statement. ————————— Alleged Robber Caught.

Supervisor Dwyer’s loss will be felt by thousands who will sympathize with his grief-stricken widow and two children, for | it is no exaggeration to state that he numbered every one as his friend. Through his earnest devotion to his pub-. lic duties, Supervisor Dwyer contracted | the fatal malady. On Friday of last week he attended a meeting of the Finanée Committee of the Board of Supervisors, though he was suffering from a severe advised to re- s cold at the time and wa main in his home. The severe cold developed into pleurisy spite the efforts of Doctors Lagan and Gallway, death claimed the patient. The late Supervisor was a prominent | figure in local politics and in the business | world. He was born in Boston, Mass., forty-two years ago, and came to th | city with his parents when he was four | | years of age. He was educated in the| public schools, and early in life learned | the trade of a painter. He rapidiy went | to the front and soon after reaching his | majority was actively engaged as a mas- | ter painter, employing a large force of assistants, enjoying the patronage of lead- | ing citizens until his death. s | Served in the Legislature. | Lawrence J. Dwyer affiliated himself | with the Democratic party early in life | and served on many executive and county political committees. In 1894 he asked the confidence of the voters in the Thirty- embly District and was elected ] to the State Legislature as an Assembly. | man. He served in the Assembly with | | great credit to himself, and in was | elected Senator. | At the earnest solicitation of his friends, Dwyer ran for Supervisor at the munici- pal election in Novem 1899. He se- cured a big majority over his opponent, and resigned from the Senate in order to | attend to his duties as a member of the Board of Supervisors. In January, 1900, Dr as a member of the fi r took his seat t Board of Super- | visors called into being under the new | charter of the city and county of Ban | Franeisco. His qualifications were im- mediately recognized by his brother mem- bers on the board and he was appointed chairman of the Committees on Streets, Public Buildings, Fire, Public Utllitles and Artificial Lights. In the recent municipal election Super- visor Dwyer was re-clected and was placed on the Committees on Finance, Artificial Lights, Public Utilitles and Fire. During his two terms of office Dwyer advocated many measures for the im- | provement of the Mission district, and the | residents in_ that section of the city al- d a warm spot in their hearts for Dwyer, as he was familiarly arry” led. Was Devoted to His Family. The late Supervisor was married four- | teen years ago to Miss Alice Dowling, | who, ‘with their son Lawrence, aged i years, and daughter Marguerite, aged § years, mourn a beloved husband and father. Two sisters of the deceased, Misses Annie and Lizzie Dwyer, also mourn his loss. Supervisor Dwyer was a member of the Builders’ Exchange and was prominent in the ranks of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Improved Order of Red Men and the Young Men’'s Catholic Union. He was a strict adherent of the Cath- olic church and was active in the affairs of St. Peter's Church, where he wor- shiped for many years. He was a cousin of the Rev. Father Joseph McQuade and numbered many distinguished clergymen | as his friends In the business world, in political life and in soclal affairs Lawrence J. Dwyer held the esteem of all who came In con- tact with him, and his death yesterday caused professions of profound regret on all sides. City Hall Flag Lowered. Mayor Schmitz, on hearing of the death of Supervisor Dwyer, at once ordered the flags to be half-masted over the City Hall. At the Builders’ Exchange the news of Bupervisor Dwyer's death was heard with sorrow and the executive board will take action at its next meeting and ex- press its sympathy with the bereaved family and relatives. No arrangements have been made for STOMACHBITTERS the funeral, and while there is a desire in political circles to pay marked respect I following committee to make arrange- ments for the funeral of the late Super- visor Dwyer: Supervisors Curtis, Con- nor, Booth, Wilson and McClellan. The committee at once requested all officers of the municipal government to attend the obsequies. The funeral cortege will leave the late residence of the deceased, 1320 Utah street, at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning for St. Peter's Church, Twenty-fourth and Ala- bama streets, where services for the dead will be conducted at 9:30 o’clock. On Monday evening the committee an- nounces its intention of presenting suit- able resolutions to the Board of Super- visors relative to their late colleague and there will also be a recommendation that the meeting adjourn out of respect to his memory. At the regular monthly meeting of the Municipal League the foilowing resolution ‘was unanimously adopted: Whereas, We have learned with great sor- row of the death of L. Dwyer, a Super- visor of this city; and Whereas, Mr. Dwyer has served this city faithfully and honestly and has at all times GRAVE CHARGES NGAINST TEACHER Roncovieri Says Blan- chard Gave Boy Cruel Beating. Instructs Superintendent to Investigate Conduct of Principal. School Director Roncovieri filed a com- plaint yesterday with Superintendent of Schools Webster to' the effect that Milton E. Blanchard, principal of the Hancock Grammar School, had administered ex- cessive corporal punishment to John Raggio, a boy 12 years of age, who is a | opupil in the school named. Roncovieri has made a preliminary investigation of | the grave charge and requests Superin- tendent Webster ‘to begin an immediate inquiry and secure such evidence as will | either acquit or convict Principal Blanchard. | The specific accusation made against | | Principal Blanchard is that he compelled | the boy, who had been playing truant, to undress. Blanchard then seized the boy by the neck, it is charged, threw him across the chair face downward and ad- ministered a terrible .beating across his loins and bare legs with three rattaas tied at the handles. Terrorizing Scholars. Not satisfied with punishing Raggio in this manner, Blanchard is saild to have ordered the doors of the classroom opened and then beat the boy in the hall- way so as$ to terrorize the scholars in the various classes. The crying of the boy is | said to have been pitiful, and the boy was | so humiliated that he did not return to ! the school, but was transferred to_the | Wasnington Grammar School. Miss | Fishér, in whose class he was put, and Silas Wite, principal of the school, both | say that he is a good pupil. All these allegations are contained in | the communication filed with Superin- tendent Webster by School Director Ron- covieri, who says that no immediate com- plaint was made because the boy’s father was sick in a hospital in Sacramento. The first information on the Incident was given by Violet Chadburne and Annie | Mathesen, two pupils of Miss Lois Peck- ham’s class, who told the story to Direc- tor Roncovierl. Their tale was corrob- orated by Miss E. L. Perry, a teacher in the same school, and also by Vice Prin- cipal Moores. In fact, it is alleged that every teacher knew of it. Throw Eggs at Blanchard. Another phase of the trouble Is that | the next day after the boy’s terrible pun- | ishment the other boys In the school | gathered in a vacant lot as Blanchurd‘ was passing by and threw rotten eggs at | him. Blanchard is said to have incurred | the_dislike of the pupils because at the timé President McKinley was assassinat- | ed he called them ‘“little anarchists. Roncovieri has instructed Truant Officer Floyd to ald Superintendent Webster in | his investigation and to secure such’ evi- | dence that Blanchard may be criminally | prosecuted if he be guilty of the charges. Principal Blanchard declined last even- ing to make a statement concerning the charges. “I presume,” Mr. Blanchard said, “that | there will be an Investigation and the | truth will then come out. It is a question | of school discipline, and not only my pro- | fessional record and .standing is at| stake, but also the interests of some 400 pupils. For that reason I prefer not to discuss the ‘Charges at all, but to await the official investigation. Petitions in Insolvency. Petitions in insolvency were filed yester- day in the United States District Court as fcllows: i Fred Leffler, contractor, San Francisco, | liabilities $6354 27, no assets; R. T. Powell, | truit grower and farmer, Colusa, liabili- tles $2027 35, no assets. L e e e e e e e advocated such matters as would tend to im- prove the city. Resolved, That in his death we have sus- tained a great loss and the principles the | Municipal League represents will in future miss a_stalwart champlon: and be it further Resolved, That these resolutions be spread in full upon the minutes, a copy sent to his family and the public press.
