F. Herrin and D. M. Burns, have decided that John D. Mackenzie, the political boss of San Jose, shall be appointed to the State Board of Harbor Commis- sioners to succeed Rudolph Herold, The | bosses are demanding that the Governor shall make the appointment without de- lay, as the representatives of the push clement are clamorous for places on the water front. Gage was inclined to give Herold a few months of grace, but he found the pressure for immediate change irresistible. The salary attaching to the | office of Commissioner is only $3000 per | annum, but the patronage which the board is authorized to bestow makes the position particularly alluring ta the bosses. Legion of Aspirants. The aspirants to succeed Herold were legion. Among them were Thomas Kirk- patrick, H. H. Lynch, Sig Bettman, John D. Mackenzie, Jack Tyrrell, Frank Mars- ton, Charles H. Prait and Ben Fehne- pann. The names of Tyrrell, Pratt, Bettman and Marston were eliminated at s T e e e e 'GAGE SLATES JOHN TACKENZIE | TO SUCCEED RUDOLPH HEROLD ';Burns and Herrin Indorse the San Jose Boss for Har- little Phil, The Governor knows that Burns is on & rampage, making all sorts of threats to disturb the peace of the boss camp. In crder to appease the wrath of the dis- turber the Governor i said to be willing 1o give Dan's followers the right of way in the next patronage deal. In the Gage czmp there are several pretty {ndepen- dent fellows, who fancy that the colonel is only a bluffer, and that Gage would be well rid of dead weight if Burns should take himself and his clamorous horde of Jiaceseekers to some other camp or clime. It is obvious to many well wishers of the State administration that Gage is unpopular and that his unpopularity Is growdng. The scouts of the administra- tion who have been looking over the field in Southern California ascribe the Gover- nor's unpopularity to his rank recogni- tion of the push element in 'his appoiat- ments. It is the popular notion south of Tehachapi that Burns forced on the Gov- ernor such appointments as Walter Moore, to health work; Ben Fehnemann and Ed Niles, to Mendocino Asylum duty; Dr. Lawlor, to the Feeble-minded Home, and Walter Parker, to the State Board of Examiners.

It appears that the Santa Clara boss needs all the outs help possible to en- able him to win out inst the Good Government forces in the 8an Jose May election. ‘The push politiclans are saying that Mackenzie's: fight in San Jose is Gage's tight—that the defeat of the Mackenzie forces and the triumph of the Hayes wing of the party would be construed as a seri- cus disaster to Gage. It is common gos- sip that Burns made a stralght demand that Mackenzie should get the commis- sicn. Burns is bitterly sore over the loss »{ what he claims was his fair share of municipal patronage. He has declared v to the knife on Crimmins, but is making a laughing stock of himself by deing politics with Herrin, while the lat- ter is lending substantlal support to Crim- mins. It is known to be a fact that with- in the last three days efforts were made | to settle the fight for clerk of the Justics | Court on the basis of ignoring Crimmins. | Herrin declined to entertain the proposi- | tion, telling. his friends that.

The new freight and passenger tariff sheets of the Nevada, California and Oregon Raflway, which recently absorbed | the Sierra Valley Railway, were received by the State Rallway Commissioners at their meeting yesterday.

Some of the merchants and - business men of San Francisco have been cherishing the ho, that the Governor, in recognition of t city's importance as a great commercial metropolis, would ‘appoint to the Harbor Board scme well known citizen of high character and fine business attainments. When they hear that Johnny Mackenzie, the understudy of Jim Rea, has been ap- pointed, there will be other demonstra- tions of public dissent. The Justices’ Clerk Trouble. The contest for the clerkship of the Justices’ Court is further enlivened by the addition of two more candidates for the place. Robert W. Dennis, a deputy in the office, and Senator Richard J. Welch, have entered the field. Bach aspirant is strongly supported. The controversy over. the office of clerk to the Justices of the Peace may be set- tled to-morrow, when a conference will be held by the Justices, the Mayor and the special committee of the Board of Supervisors, appointed to find a solution Mo _the situation: Supervisor Wynn, who introduced the resolution calling for the appointment of a speclal committee, was in conference vesterday with the Justices, arranging for a meeting of all parties concerned. Justices Daniels, Long, Joachimsen and Dunn are desirous of bringing an end to the present tangle, but they are unable to agree upon a candidate for clerk. Dunn | and Long think that George S. McComb should be the selection, while Daniels and Joachimsen favor Clerk Welsh of Judge Murasky’s court, with Robert Dennis as second cholce., Mayor Schmitz is waiting to see what will be done by the Justices and the Supervisors’ committee before he shows St el b @ WOMEN ARE SWINDLED BY MEN THEY TRUSTED One Loses Her Savings and Sweet- heart, the Other Both Money and Husband. Della Stanton, a domestic employed by a family on Bush street, secured a war- rant yesterddy for the arrest of A. D. Dallion, an upholsterer, on a charge of felony embezzlement. She sald she first met Dalllon in Seattle about two years ago and when she came here he followed. Finally they became engaged and last Friday he fold her that they would get married and go to Denver. She had $20 in bank and he induced her to draw out $120. After they left the bank Ds lion said that the gold was too heavy for her to carry and suggested that if she gave him the money he would get it changed into bills. She parted with the coin, and has not seen Dallion since. Mrs. Lotha Ladure of 328 Clementina street applied yesterday for a warrant for the arrest of her husband, Willlam Ladure, on' chnrfie! of grand larceny and bigamy, but as the offenses were not com- mitted in this State warrants could not be issued. She said they were married in Chicago a year ago. She had in bank and drew out $500, with which they came here. They were only here a short time when he deserted her and she says ehe has now ascertained that he drew out the remaining $1000 of her money in (;m(i(ago‘ and married a woman in New ork. B T S — ‘Will Get the Official Advertising. The Supervisors’ Printing Committee yesterday reported in favor of accepting the bid of the Evening Post for officlal advertising at 15 cents per half inch for each insertion. The committee referred to the Finance Committee the demand of W. Hinton in the sum of $82 for printing reports for the Fire Commissioners.

POLITICTAN SLATED FOR HAR- | BOR COMMISSIONERSHIP AND | | ASPIRANTS FOR CLERKSHIP, | i e his hand. The Mayor having taken the stand that he had the right to appoint a clerk to the Justices, is not likely to back down in his support of Powel Fred- Wire-Pulling for the Place. The clerkship to the Justices is not as valuable a plum as it was a few weeks ago. Under the charter the clerk is entitled to five deputies, each at a salary of $100 per month. Under the de- cision of the Superior Court Judges that Mayor Schmitz had no power to appoint | the clerk and that it devolved on the Jus- | tices to select and the Supervisors to con- firm a candidate to that office, the matter | s brought under the operation of the State law. Under the State law the clerk | to the Justices can only appoint two depu- ties. Congiderable wire-pulling was done yes- terday by various political parties in be- half of the numerous candidates for the clerkship. It was generally recognized that in the event of the Justices and the Supervisors’ committee agreeing on a candidate the Board of Supervisors would confirm the selection. If the Jus- tices and the committee are unable to agree there is little chance of a clerk being appointed. The board is composed of seven Republicans, seven Democrats | is sure to be a deadlock if the Justices send in the name of a candidate who is not recommended by the special commit- tee of the Supervisors. Powel Fredrick says that he and his deputies will hold on to their places until the Supreme Court rules them out. They propose to take an appeal from the recent decision of the Superior Court Judges. As to the question of salaries the clerk and his deputies are prepared to do their work and collect their emoluments in the event of receiving a favorable decision from the Supreme Court. Opposition to Dalton. Over in Alameda County there are signs of further political complications. It is whispered that Supervisor John Mitchell of the Pardee forces has resolved to en- ter the arena as a candldate for Assessor against -Dalton. The fact is broadly recognized in Alameda County that Dr. Pairdee, in his aspirations for Guberna- torial honor, has a stanch following, but it happens unfortunately for the chief aspirant that his lleutenants are looking out for themselves. Frank Jordan, for instance, is a brave supporter of Dr. Par- dee for Governor, but at the same time he is a‘braver supporter of Frank Jordan for clerk of the Supreme Court. and four Union Labor members, and there | b | cancy M'GABE RETAINS H15 COMMISSION Judge Seawell Decides Against Appointee of Governor Gage. Holds That the Plaintiff Is Entitled to the Office Until December, The suit for a writ of mandate com- pelling State Controller E. P. Colgan to issue a warrant to E. D. McCabe for $93 35, claimed to be due him for isalary as Commissioner of Building and Loan Assoclations, from July 17 to August I, 1901, was decided by Judge Seawell yester- day in favor of the plaintiff, and a per- emptory writ was ordered issued. Judge Seawell's decision ousts Charles M. Shortridge from the Commissioner- ship, as he holds that when Shortridge was appointed by Governor Gage McCabe held the place by virtue of an appoint- ment from Governor Budd. McCabe, therefore, will serve as Commissioner un- til next December. McCabe was appointed Commissioner by Governor Budd, vice W. A. Ryan, de- ceased, in December, 1898. Governor Gage appointed C. M. Short- ridge Commissioner, vice McCabe, on the ground that the latter as Ryan’s suc- cessor was entitled to serve only the un- expired term. McCabe refused to g‘h'e up the office, claiming that his appoint- ment was good for four vears, and he performed the duties of Commissioner until Shortridge qualified on July 17, 1901. Colgan issued a warrant to McCabe for his salary up to that date, but refused to recognize McCabe's claim that he was still Commissioner. The suit/ which was decided yesterday was brought by McCabe in August, 1901 Judge Seawell in his decision declared that McCabe's term of office is four years from the date of his appointment. He cites the case of the People against Bur- bank, a suit similar in every way to_the one at issue, with the exception that Bur- bank was a District Judge. In that suit it was held that a District Judge elected to fill 2 vacancy caused by death or resig- nation was elected for the term of six vears. It was also held that the right of a Judge elected to fill a vacancy, to hold | for a full term, was not affected by the proclamation of the Governor calling the election, that the office to be filled was for an unexpired term, and that any act of the Legislature attempting to limit the duration of the term of the Judge, so elected, to the unexpired term of his redecessor, was unconstitutional. Judge eawell said: In' the act of March 23, 1893, creating a Board of Building and Loan Commissioners, there is no provision limiting the duration of the term of a commissioner appointed to fill a vacancy caused by death or neither is there any general statutory pro- vision that a person appointed to fill a va- shall hold his office merely for the remainder of the unexpired term of his pre- decessor. Such a provision 18 _expressly made in case of a vacancy in the office of the S retary of State, Controller, Treasurer, Attorne: General, State Harbor Commissioners and Di- rectors of the Insané Asylum The case of the people against Burbank has not been overruled or even questioned by the Supreme Court in any subsequent case. As the term of a Building and Loan Commis sloner does not begin at a fixed time and the statute falls to specify the duration of the term of one appointed to fill a vacancy, I hold, upon the authority of that case, that plaintiff’s term of office is four years from the time when his appointment took: effect. SACRAMENTO, March 11.—At the State Controller's office it is stated that the salary of $200 which for six months Shortridge has drawn as Building and Loan Commissioner will not be pald to McCabe in consequence of Judge Sea- well's decision. If McCabe wishes to ob- tain the $1200 he”is short by reason of payments to Shortridge he will have to go to the Legislature, as was done in the case of the late Denis Spencer, who was appointed attorney for the State Board of Health. George A. Knight re- fused to vacate the office and drew the salary. A relief bill in the Legislature afterward provided for the payment of the Spencer claim. Ornamental Picture Frames.

Attorney Deuprey received a sharp reprimand from Police Commissioner | Newhall last night, for using language | that was deemed Insulting to the mem- | bers of the board. Deuprey represented John D. Lewis, who desired to open an auction house at 1065 Market street. President Newhall informed the attor. ney and his client that Market street was a crowded _thoroughfare and before granting or denying the petition the mat- ter would be referred to Chief Wittman. Deuprey became impatient with the com misslon and lost his temper. “If you refuse to grant this license, he said, “it will be an unjust discrimina- tion In favor of others in the same busi- ness."” “Mr. Deuprey,” said President Newhall, sharply, ‘‘your language to this Police Commission is improper. When you say it is .discriminating against your client you state what is not true.” “I say ‘if' you discriminate,” Deuprey. “Your language is not proper,” replied Newhall. “Then I will withdraw it,” sald the at- torney. “This case will go over one week in order to give the Chief an opportunity to investigate the case,” said Newhall. Deuprey again lost his temper, and he left the room he heatedly said, “Th you'll hear from me later.” Mayor Schmitz was an interested Ms- tener to the proceedings, but sald noth- ing. Playing Poker Is No Crime. The cases of six then who were ar- rested in the Cafe Royal and six who were arrested in the Baldwin Annex Jan- uary 24 for playing poker were dismissed by Judge itz yesterday. The Judge held that ordinance 1587, under which they were arrested, had been declared uncon- stitutional. “Pwo Cow” Ordinance Is Valid. City Attorney Lane advised the Board | of Supervisors yesterday that the pro- posed ordinance prohibiting persons keeping more than two cows within cer- tain specified boundaries is a valid mea: ure. Lane quotes a Supreme Court de sion in support of his opinion that legis- lative amgoruy extends to the suppres- sion or regulation of those things which retorted as en are hurtful to the general good. Lane says that an ordinance to be general need not cover the entire city, provided there is good reason for the division of the city into districts, and there is nothing in the charter which conflicts with such a dis- tricting of the city for sanitary pur- poses. ——al George Mayerle, German Expert Optician, Entrance 1071 Market; look for eye with crown, —_——— Alumni Issues Call for Meeting.
