Yesterday afternoon the specia’ commit- tee of the Supervisors appointed to con- fer with the Justices and Mayor Schmitz on the matter met the Mayor and the Judiciary Committee of the Supervisors. Supervisors Comte and Booth represented the committee and Supervisors Bent, Comte and Wynn the special committee. Brandenstein of the Judiclary Committee, | who introduced the resolution calling the conference, was not present. Mayor Schmitz informed the Supervis- ors that he could not indorse the name of McComb. The Mayor explained that he did not care if a Democrat or a R publican was elected to the office of Ju: tices' clerk, but he could not possibly in- dorse McComb, who had beéen removed from office by the Mayor's actions. Mayor Schmitz further stated that he desired no patronage in the office, but simply wantea a good man to be appointed. The conference finally ended with the decision that Supervisors Wynn and Bent meet with the Justices of the Peace to- day and request them to ‘select another name for presentation to the Supervisors. As the Board of Bupervisors has al- ready intimated by its actions that it will not be antagonistic to the Mayor in the indorsement of a clerk to the Justices, there is no chance for McComb to secure the coveted office. McComb's name is now before the board as the selection of the Justices, and the special and Judiclary Committees of the Supervisors will not present any recom- mendation to the board. With the knowledge that McComb can not be confirmed the friends of the va- rious candidates for the clerkship are ready to pull wires to secure the votes of the Justices. ————————————————— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

In order to make the appointees of nis administration subser- vient to bhis will Governor Gage caused the Political Code to be amended at the last sesslon of the Legislature. Section 100¢ of the Political Code, as amended in 1901, which is the law now, reads: Section 1000. Whenever an office, the appointment to which is vested in the Governor and Senate, or in the Legisla- ture, either becomes vacant or the term of the incumbent of which expires during the recess of the Legislature, the Gov- ernor has power to appoint a person to suck office; but the person so appointed can only hold the office until the adjourn- ment of the next session of the Legisla- ture, The foregoing amendment to the code came straight from the Governor's office in the Capitol. Senator Oneal, the choicest specimen in Johnny Mackenzie's rare col- lection of Santa Clara statesmen, handled the little measure in the Senate. Inside History of the Bill. The true inside history of the scheme is just coming to light. The amendment did not escape .the vigilant scrutiny of Sena- tor Cutter, whose long experience in the Legislature has taught him to read be-| tween the lines of a bill. He saw at a glance that Oneal, a new Senator, was plunging on dangerous ground. Senator Cutter quickly resolved to fight the meas- ure and thus uncover the hidden influ- ences behind the amendment. Within two hours after he opened the battle Governer Gage sent for him. The Senator went to the executive office to hear what the Governor had to say. Gage lost no time in telling Cutter that he wanted the bill | passed. Cutter insisted that the Governor | was playing with edged tools and that it | would be bad politics to change the law. Gage declined to argue the point, but again requested Cutter to keep hands off | and let the bill become a law. “It is my | bill,” sald the Governor, ““and I want the | Legislature to pass it.” Senator Cutter | was not in position at that time to engage | in a controversy with the executive and | therefore agreed to comply with the Gov- | ernor’s wishes. The bill went through both houses and was signed by the Gov- ernor. Gage Then a Candidate. At that time Gage was adjusting the wires to gain a renomination.” He wanted | a club to hold over every appointee of | his administration so that he could say: ! “Your term of office expires at the end | of the next seseion, If you fail to deliver | delegations pledged to my support in the neminating convention 1 shall appoint | some other person to the office that you | now holé. 1 am not bound to send your | name to the Senate for confirmation. In fact, 1 can withdraw your appointment and 'send in anotber.” If a Republican other than Gage should | be elected Governor, a prospect which is; growing brfghter every day, the recess | appointees of the present administration— Kirkpatrick, Mackenzie, Wright and oth- ers—would be in a pretty muddle. As scon as the Legislature had convened and before the next Governor was inaugu- | rated Gage might fmplore the Senate to cenfirm the appointments made during | the recess. Preston or Flint May Win. But if Preston or Flint should be chosen Governor at the November election what would the Senate care for Gage or his appointees? There would be no Senators | to do him reverence. Thé holdovers and | the new Senators of the party would refer | the communication of tfie outgoing Gov- | ernor to a committee and walt to ascer- tain the wishes of the incoming executive. Cutler was right when he advised the Governor of the risk that one takes in handling edged tcols. Gage may compel | the recently appointed State officers to | line up In his behalf, but he cannot save i them from dismissal if he loses. If he wins they get nothing more than his im- plied promise that he will reappoint them at the expiration of the next session of L e o e e e e e e e R e Y ) | repudiated it at the polls. Oneal's amendment is in effect an enlargement of Gage's gold | the Legislature. brick yard. \Vurx comes from Santa Clara County that $3000 had been raised to celebrate the gush victory won in the appointment of ohnny Mackenzie to the State Harbor Commission. No time should be lost in disbursing the money for liquid refresh- | ment—the purpose for which it was con- tributed—because the present indications point to Johnny's retirement from the board early in January. He cannot re- main if Gage goes out. From every coun- ty of California cames the news that the farmers, business men and citizens gen- | erally are opposed to Gage's renomina- tion. Opposition to Gage. Thousands of Republicans openly pro- claim that they will vete once fo “‘disci- pline the party” if the party defies public sentiment by making him its nominee, Prominent Republicans in the Gage camp express a doubt as to the ability d@ the arty to pull him through, Colonel George tone, chalrman of the Republican State | Central Committee, recently said to an- | other member of the committee: *“I do| not know what we will do for money in this campaign. The bankers, merchants and business men will not contribute for | fear Gage will be the candidate, There is only one banker we can count on and his subscription seldom goes above $250," Men who ought to have the stamina and frankness to tell Gage the truth about his chances inflate him with hot | air. If they would speak out candidly | they would advise him that outside of his | coterfe of State administration office- | holders and beyond the circle of a few ! Democratic agitators, there is no demand | for his re-election. His open alllance with | Burns and Herrin causes the people to be- | lleve that the Governor of the State is simply an instrument in the hands of the ; bosses. Lynch Is a Heavy Load. The Republican party of California, owing to the peculiar conduct of Senator Perkins, has a load to carry in the person of John C. Lynch, Collector of Internal Revenue. Positive assurance was given by the senior Senator that Lynch should | be retired after four years of service, but the Collector is still holding office and do- ing politics for the machine despite the order of President Roosevelt that Federal | officeholders should refrain from meddling in convention affairs. Throughout the ! State Lynch is known as the confldential | man of Herrin, and it is quite well, un- derstood that Herrin, the Democrat, ma- | nipulates local polities through the agency | of the Republican Collector of Revenue. This double dealing does no good to the Republican. cause in California. If the | Republicans enter the Presidential cam- paign of 1904 with a load of Lynches to pack the delivery of the electoral vote of | this State in support of the national ad- | ministration will be somewhat doubtful. Republican Primary League. The directors of the Republican Pri- mary League have leased for the cam- paign of this year commodious apart- ments over the Humboldt Savings Bank | on Geary street, between Grant avenue and Kearny street. The league made a ! splendid fight for good government under | the auspices of the Republican party at| the last primary election, and would have | achieved victory had not the bosses ral- lled five thousand Democratic votes to support the boss ticket. A boss ticket | was subesquently forced on the Republi- can conventfon, but the Republican voters | The Primary | League will, on April 2 next, take posses- sfon_of the new quarters on Geary street. ‘Where Was Johnny (Mackenzie, SAN JOSE, March 21.—A proposition to | elect Governor Henry T. Gage an honor- | ary member of the Santa Clara County | Fish and Game Assoclation this evening | was practically turned down. hen the | matter came up on motion of D. J. Prindi- | ville there was an objection made at once | by some of the members, ‘who inquired | what the Governor had done that he should be so honored, There were some exponents of Gage in the meeting and a pro and con wrangle followed. Finally to | prevent insult to the Governor friends of Gage carried a motion postponing the matter indefinitely. ~The general opposi- tion to Gage was that he was not a sportsman and had not gone out of his| way to ald in the protection of game. ONE CLERK M LOSE 5 PLACE Should the recommendation made by the Supervisors’ Finance Committee, at its meeting last night, be adopted by the full board, one of the assistant clerks now employed in the office of the board will lose his position to make room for an experienced stenographer. Chairman Brandenstein of the committee intro- duced a resolution providing that the services of one clerk be dispensed with and that a competent stenographer be employed at a salary of $150 per month. Brandenstein explained that the city was paying nearly $1000 per year to pay a stenographer to take testimony in the water and gas rates investigations, ana that it would be economy to have a reg- ular stenographer employed by the board to take the testimony and perform other work when not so engaged. Supervisor ‘Wilson sald that the recorded minutes of committee meetings were incomplete and that a stenographer was a necessity. Superyisor Dwyer eed with his as- sociates and the Tesolution was recom- mended for passage. Brandenstein sald that he had in view for the place a com- etent stenographer who had done work n the interior of the State, but asked his essoclates to suggest names also, as he did not wish to force his man on the board. Commissioner of Public Works Casey addressed the committee regarding the advisability of the city purchasing its own teams and horses for use in the va. rious departments of the Bgard of Works. Casey said that the scheme would be an expensive one in the begin- ning, but that in the end the city would save money. Casey agreed to report on the cost o gurchuln‘ the wagons and horses, together with the cost of main- tenance, to see if the plan is advisable. The Police Commission was also re- quested to Investigate whether it would be cheaper for the city to care for the horses used on the patrol wagons. Sheriff Lackmann informed the com- mittee that he had recelved an offer from & party who desires to lease the farm near the County Jail at Ingleside. In re- turn the lessee will furnish rough veget- ables all the year round and prime veg- etables in season to the jail.

A. W. Thompson, attorney at law, re- siding at 3625 Twentleth street, sent a communciation yesterday to Superviso: Connor of the Water Committee, askin that in establishing a valuation on the | Bpring Valley Company’s property the | quality of the water be taken into ac- count. Thompson says the water in his' house is ‘vile and muddy, and after| draining the cow yards, hog ranches and | slaughtering pens In the county, no sane person uses it for drinking or culinary purfios(\s without distillation, and washing with it is a farce.” The Board of Fire Wardens filed a pro- test yesterday with the Board of Super- visors against the section in the new building - ordinance providing that the height of frame bulidings shall be limited to sixty feet. The protest says: ‘“The present ordinance limits the height of frame bulidings to '65 feet, which we deem as a matter of safety to be the ex- treme helfiht to which said style of building should extend.

Condemns Corrals in Univer- sity Mqund and Bay View District. The Grand Jury at a special meeting last night adopted a report of the com- mittee on corporations, street rallways and telephones which urges upon the Su- pervisors the necessity of legislation to correct numerous evils in the street rail- way service. Franchises, a uniform sys- tem of transfers, overcrowding of cars, fast running of electric cars and 3-cent fare for workingmen are some of the subjects given vigorous treatment. The committee, consisting of William Lewis, chairman; E, P. Farnsworth and Edward Culen, presented the report prac- ‘tically as adopted. It will be sent to the Supervisors with the recommendation that suitable legislation be enacted. The street rallway questions are taken up in the report as follows: The Market Street Raiflway system having just changed hands, it is hoped the new cor- poration will change practices and correct abuses that have so long existed in the con- duct of the old company. It is nat the ob- Ject of this Grand Jury to dictate to its man- agement or that of any other corporation the method by which their business should be con- ducted, but it is our privilege and our duty to see that all laws governing them are com- plied with, that the public receive fair and just treatment, that all .precautions necessary to avoid and prevent accidents are taken, that patrons receive polite and courteous treat- ment, and to make such recommendations to the Board of Supervisors as we deem proper in_order to promote the public good. We are opposed to the granting of any fran- chise to any road or corporation without a thorough &nd definite understanding and a fuil compliance Avith laws (n relation thereto. We insist that all unused tracks be at once taken up and the street put in proper condi- tion; that the street paving and work re- quired by law between the tracks be properly attended to, and that all obstructions be re- moved from the streets. Municipal ownership is & question upon which the jury may be more or less divided and which " involves principles which we as Grand Jurymen are not called upon to pass upon or investigate. Uniform Transfer System. We insist upon a uniform system of trans- fers. The system engaged In at the present time 18 confusing and annoying, especially so in the case of strangers and visitors. = We recommend the abolition! of the “short time'* transters, and see no valid reason why a check should not be good at any hour during the day and date of its issue. The practice of giving transfers on some lines when fare is pald and of others in giving it at the point of debarkation should be discouraged, and we 80 recommend, bélieving that a uniform sys- tem will avold confusion and annoyance,. and oftentimes prevent disputes and assaults be- tween conductors and passengers. We recommend that during the hours of the day when the working classes are going to and from their work better facllities be pro- vided for their accommodation. Men and especlally working women and ing home after a hard day’ a seat Wytre they can rest and be comfort- able. The present crowded condition of the cars during certain hours s very inconvenient to_the publie. * We desire to call attention to sign boards on Market street, indlcating places where cars stop. Said signs are in the mid- dle of the street near the tracks and are ap- rently a convenlence to the gripm: only. Ve suggest an additional sign be jaced 1n the sidewalk near the curb. Market street is a_ thoroughfare crowded during certain hours of the day from curb to curb, dangerous for women, children and old persons to cross, and were it not for the vigilance of the police many accidents would ogcur. Every precau- tion should be taken to Insure the safety of the public. We object to the speed of cars running through the more crowded streets, and call especial attention to the line on Kearny street the which have been carried to pores.

Three-Cent Fare for Workingmen. ‘We recommend that such ordinances be passed as will require street rallroads to carry the working classes for a rate not exceeding 3 cents for each fare, said echedule to appiy only between the hours of 6 to 8 a. m. and from 5 to 6:30 p, m. on each working day. Upon many of the cars the steps are too high, making it difficult and often dangerous for ngers getting on or off. Upon some streets having double tracks the space be- tween the tracks is too narrow, the steps ex- tending so far out that it Is impossible for a person to stand on them when two cars are passing. Several minor abuses were also touched upon in the report. The committee asked for further time on telephone, water and Hight questions. orge H. Roundy and H. Tessmer, president and vice president of the Uni- versity Mound and Bay View Improve- ment Club, appeared before the Grand Jury to ask relief from the unsanitary conditions existing in that southern sec- tion of the city from the presence there of cattle corrals and dairles. They com- plained that H. Moffatt, wholesale butch- er, and B. Cassou, Bauer & Diess and other dairies have public streets fenced off and in use for corrals. The Grand Jury addressed a communication to the Supervisors asking that the corrals be removed as nuisances and against public licy. WA communication was addressed to the Police Commissioners requesting that one night in each week be set apart for con- Siferation of the grantings of lquor - censes and that an additional meeting between each week be held, ig order that people having business before the board shall gol( be submitted to long and vexatious elays.
