The KNIGHT T0 LEAD * BAGE'S FORCES It is understood in the Gage camp that George’ A.'Knight, who is on the payroll as attorney. of the State Board of Health, is to be the machine candidate for chair- man of the Republican State Convention; Knight recently visited Humboldt and Los Angeles countles. and. declared his preference for Gage.. While the anti-ma- chine forces have not put’ forward a can- didate for chairman it 18 understood: that Preston, Flint, Cutter, Pardee and Edson are ready to support Lieutenant Governor Jacob H. Neff for the charmanshp. At the San Jose convention April 14 and 15 the usual resolutions will be presented to indorse the National and State Repub- lican administrations. All the candidates and other leading men of the party agree that such resolutions should be opted. The scheme of the machine gang#is to twist such indorsement into commenda- tion of Gage’s candidacy for renomina- tion. No doubt Mackenzie and his push in San Jose will pack the galleries and make as much capital as possibla when the hour arrives for considering the re-: port of the committee on resolutions.- Dej-. egates who are opposed to machine meth- ods should attend the convention and give thelr earnest support to a_proper eclaration of Republican sentiment. Fho indorsement of a Republican State ad- ministration will not by any means sig- nify an indorsement of Henry T. Gage's candidacy for renomination.

ORLD RESUMES ITS FESTIVITIES MAYOR SENDS VETO MESSAGE SaysMcCorub’s Appoint- ment Would Be In- Jjudicious. Park Commission BlamesRail- road for Discontinu- ing Music. Mayor Schmitz sent to the Board of | Supervisors yesterday his veto of the | resolution confirming the appointment of | George S. McComb to be Justices’ clerk. | After the veto was read at the board's | on Braunhart moved its reference to | the Judiciary Committee to determine il the Mayor has the right to veto such a resolution, and the motion prevailed. The | ‘veto message, which contains the reasons for the Mayor's disapproval, follows: Mayor’'s Office, March 31, 1902. Executive Department, SAN C Supervi: h, without my approval, , appointing George S. cisco for the following reasons: % | ~ 'The appointment. 1s_injudicious and illogical. | When T suspended Mr. Williams, the former clerk, for neglect of duty and absence from his office, there were suspended with him, at | the same time, his deputies, among whom was George McComb. Mr. McComb, while denying continuous attendance at the race- track, openly and frankly admits absence from | the office. 1 cannot, by my approval, con- firm _th ection of a delinquent deputy to | succeed a delinquent principal. If there is | to be a restoration of former comditions. it | will not be through any act of mine. | Moreover, the confirmation of Mr. | would be but a warrant of apprectation of the none too commendable conduct of the Justices of the Peace, who, in their allegiance to their political ‘'organization” have steadfastly de- clined to consider any person as a possible ap- | pointee unless by long service and association he has proven himself a seasoned member of | the ““machine.” As to the right of the Board of Supervisors | to appoint a Justices’ clerk at all, in the face of the express provisions of the charter, this is a question of law now being adjudicated by the courts, and I do not, therefore, consider | it proper to base any objections on the legal propositions involved. Respectfully submitted, E. E. SCHMITZ, | Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco, | The Park Commission sent a communi~ | | cation in answer to a resolution regard- | | ing the discontinuance of music in Golden Gate Park. The commission states that the fault lies with the street car compa- nies, which enjoy valuable franchises for the transport of people to the park, for which they pay the city nothing. The communication continues: In view of the fact that the Park Commis- sloners have expended large sums of the peo- | ple’'s money to make the park attractive and that no one receives any money for it except | the railroads, and also that a music stand has been given by a public-spirited citizen to af- ‘fnrd greater facilities for the presentation of | musie, we think that they should at least pay | McComb for the entertainment of those Who patronize their roads to and from the park. It seems to us that a more liberal policy will be pur- sued by the new corporation actually in con- | trol of nearly all the street car lines, and that | it will furnish the entire sum required for the | music. To bring about this hoped for resuit | our chairman has been appointed by this board | to act with his Honor the Mayor on the | matter. —— McCOMB CITES FREDRICK TO APPEAR IN COURT Mayor’s Appointee Must Show Cause Why He Should Not Be Ousted | From Office. George 8. McComb is making a deter- mined effort to secure the position of Jus- ice’s - Clerk, to which position he was appointed. by the Justices of the Peace | lon the 24th of last month. Seo far his | battle has availed him naught, but lats yesterday afternoon he commenced an ac- tion by which he hopes to oust Powel Fredrick. from the much-coveted offive. He filed a petition for an order directing Fredrick to appear before the Superior Court and show cause why he should not give up the position of Justice's Clerk, wkich he has held ever since the Mayor ordered the dismissal of E. W. Willlams. | -5 TERTAINED BY SCENE AT THE BREAKFAST GIVEN AT THE PALACE IN HONOR OF THE RETIRING PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA' CLUB, THE TOASTMISTRESS AND GUEST OF HONOR, AND THE LADY WHO WAS EN- MRS. TIMOTHY HOPKINS AT LUNCHEON. Mrs.‘Wbitel‘aw Reid Is the Chief Guest at a Luncheo by Mrs. Timothy Hopkins. thirty guests were seated at a large round table, beautifully decorated with spring blossoms, arranged in excellent taste.

No pains were spared to make the luncheon a success in every particular, and _the ggests certainly enjoyed Mrs. Hopkins’ charming hospitality.. The aft- ernoon was most pleasantly spent. P Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Hart entertained at dinner last evening, complimentary to Miss Rutherford, who has recently re- turned from the East.

BLOWS OFF HEAD WITH A SHOTEDN 1 aksrs ks ) James Louis Joel, a clerk, 22 years of age, and’a- brother-in-law of Joel Gold- stein. of the firm of Goldstein Brothers, committed suicide yesterday afternoon by shooting the top of his head off at the Goldstein residence, . 1214 Eddy street. Young Joel was just preparing to make a trip to the country for the benefit of his health. He had procured a shotgun to take on the journey. It was with this gun that he took ‘his life. Just what caused the suicide is a mystery that will be thoroughly investigated by the Morgue officials..’ Joel's. neay velatives told the deputies; that it was ill health, but they are very reluctant to discuss the case. About three months ago Joel resigned bis position. with the firm of Goldstein Brothers, dealers in fancy goods and nov- elties at 12 Sutter street. He has resided with the Goldsteins since and had a room in‘the upper story of the building. His health was poor and some of his friends recently ‘proposed a trip to the country. Jcéel agreed to go and made preparations to start immediately. He secured the shotgun and took it upstairs to clean it. ‘A short time later, a servant, Miss Carrie Nelson, heard a loud report inside Joel's room. Miss Nelson rushed to the telephone in an excited manner and notified Mrs. Gold- stein, who was visiting a neighbor. A physiclan was called and when he arrived at the house he smashed-down the door leading to -the clerk's room. Joel was found lying on the floor ina pool of.blgod’| with the top of his head blown off. The shotgun lay. close by.

Sparrow, managing editor of ths Adyocate, a’ Sausalito newspaper estab- lished for the purpose of defeating the supporters of the poolrooms of that town, ‘was assaulted and badly beaten yesterday morning by Thomas Frost while the first named was on his way to the boat bound for this city. Frost approached Sparrow and asked him if he was the editor-of the Advocate. Frost, it ‘is said by the “witnesses to the assault, did not wait for a reply, but grasped Sparrow by .the throat and, after searching him for a weapon, proceeded to beat him into insensibility. Sparrow was found unconscious and taken to his home in Sausalito. AL Great indignation is felt among the anti- poolroom residents of Sausalito over the assault. It is said that Frost was actu- ated in the assault by an article which.| appeared in the Advocaté, but which. Mr. Sparrow’s friends assert-was not intended as a reflection upon him in any way, but was directed toward another party. Regarding the assault, Frost says: “I'met Sparrow fairly and face to face. I deny, as has' been stated {n some quar- ters, “having used a club’ or weapon. I struck him with my hand. The cause of the aifficulty: arose from a publication in his paper to the" effect’ that I built my residence with money obtained from pool- rooms, which i untrue. I am not a pub- lic official, but a plain‘citizén, and there- fore hold that he had no right to question the source whence' I obtained money for any purpose. “I have ‘a large family, upon whom the reflection rests, hence the attack. deplsprotind S sl sl & (All Are Welcome, Nothing -1ike it before; 2000 pairs gents' fine shoes, the kind you always pay $3 for, we offer them . to-morrow - (Wednesday) morning at 9 «0'clock- f0r T8¢ a pair; good shoes, such makes as Keith's, Johnston & Murphy, Bamaster & Co.

This is a special action and is taken by nb because Judge Sloss yesterday refused him an injunction restraining the yor from taking any action om his case. The action is brought under the provision of section 1015 of the Political Code, which provides that in the event of a dispute between an incumbent in an office and his predeécessor, the former can appeal to the courts for an order which will. bring the dispute before a court for final determination. McComb claims that he is the incumbent by right of the appointment made by the Justices of the Peace last month, not- withstanding that the Mayor has refused to approve his bond. The section ‘under which the action is brought provides that the Superior Caurt has the power to take summary action, which means that the court can direct the Sheriff to seize and hold the books and effects of the office until such time as the rightful and legal incumbency is deter- mined. The code also provides for the prosecution on a charge of misdemeanor of the party who willfully holds the office, McComb opened an office for the trans- action of business yesterday at the City Hall.
