BAKERSFIELD, May 19. — Charles Ward, a well-known tailor here, while lying in bed this morning, with his head within a foot of his sleeping roommate, sent a bullet crashing through his brain. Ward was In the employ of Morrow & Hussey, end was a man of good habits, being highly regarded by his acquain- tances. He was out very late last night, returning to his room at 3 o'clock this morning. In response to a query fiom his roommate, N. Baker, he made no ex- planation as to his whereabouts, but im- mediately retired. At 5 o’clock he arose, to the bureau and got his pistol. An hour later he fired the fatal shot. The bullst passed from temple to tem- | ple, lodging just beneath the skin.

The entire populace is on he streets celebrating the advent of freedom. For a half-dozen years Mackenzie has ruled with an iron ; the people have been afraid to op- him and his gang; but to-day the rose up and defeated his entire with the exception of T. J. Mc- Geoghegan for Treasurer. Gecrge D. Worswick is elected Mayor over Adolph Greeninger by 266 majority. Joseph A. Belloli Jr. is elected City Clerk r J. W. Cook by 103 votes. McGeoghe- defeats Warren F. Blakeslee for surer by 260 votes. B. D. Mathews,\ Patrick Murray and Al D. Hubbard are elected to the Council by majorities rang- ing from 649 to 480. To s election and the campaign pre- ceding it were the hottest ever known in San Jose, and the interest manifested in the result this evening was almost as great as In a Presidential election. For hours the vicinity of First and Santa Clara streets around the builetin boaras was e mass of people, howling and houting for Worswick. The climax of s entnusiasm was reached at 9 o'clock, when the Fifth Regiment band maae its appearance. A SUrging stream of people, the band and at the head of the Inde- | pendence Club was big Dan Ryan, the Fourth Ward politician. For blocks the streets were jammed with people. On the hats of many were pictures of Worswick and many carried horns and cow bells. REA’S HOUR OF REVENGE. The Mercury and Herald were sere- naded, and then the band proceeded to the office of James W. Rea and serenadcd him. A march to the City Hull was then taken up. The. crowd massed on the steps, and as the officials in the City “Throw down the Keys” went up. In the campaign just closed the fight was an out-ana-out one between the Gage machine represented by John Mackenzie on the one side and the re- form element, under the banner of the Citizens’ ticket, on the other. Since Mac- | Kenzie broke away from Rea two yea s ago he has built up a strong machine id of the railroad burcau, and this was his first ight without aid from Rea. Opposed to him was the Republican Gooa Government League, with which were ociated the reform Democrats and the better class of all other eie- ments. ese forces were marshaled by’ E. A. Hayes, the president of the Good Government League, who has waged an active war against Mackenzie and gang rule for years. Hayes to-night is the mcst popular man in the city. Although the candidates for Mayor were Worswick and Greeninger, they were al- most lost sight of, and the issue settled down to one of reform versus Mackenzie- ism. E. A. Hayes and his brother, J. O. Mercury and Herald, and s have made a hard fight g. Although the charges and extortion against the and Fire Commissioners were dis- missed in the Council, these papers have shown that gamblers paid for *protec- tion,” that many firemen were assessed for political purposes and that there was general grafting for theater tickets by the gang. These and other misdoings of the push evidently caused the peopie to turn out to-day and bury Mackenzie and his associates under an avalanche of ballots. Mitchell Phillips, a politician, was also a factor in the fight and aided in. the work. “Jim” Rea, who taught Johnnie Mackenzie the game of politics, but who was afterward dethroned by his lieuten- ant, cast his lot with the reformers this time, and to him belongs no small share of praise for the victory. Mackenzie treated Rea contemptuously after suc- ceeding him as boss, and Rea’s part of the fight to-day was one of revenge. He brought hundreds of votes to the reform- ers, and taught his former underling a few tricks in the game of politics. These men aided, but it was the people who have been so enraged by the gang who arose in their might and carried the election. EXCITING ELECTION DAY. To-day’s struggle began with the open- ing of the polls and did not close until the last ballot was counted. Macken- zie's thoroughbreds never worked before as they did to-day, but they were unable to overcome the prejudice of the people against them. The vote was the largest in the history of the city, 4636 ballots be- ing cast for Mayor. There was consider- able excitement about the polls all day. Mackenzie had searched the State for San Joseans who could vote, and probably 200 of this closs were imported. The prompt action and watchfulness of the citizens’ campaign commiftee probably prevented much illegal voting. F. J. Zedeman and a man named Hazel were arrested for illegal voting. The former, who was serving as a ballot clerk of the First Precinct, is employed on Mac- kenzie's ranch near Guadaloupe. He was registered from the Oakland House, and the proprietor of the place, who swore to the complaint, says Zedeman has not lived there for nearly a year. Zedeman supplied $2500 bail and was released. It is said other warrants have been sworn to, but they have not yet been served. The fights for the offices of Mayor, Treasurer and Clerk were pretty ones. The only Mackenzieite elected is T. J. Mc- Geoghegan, the present Treasurer, who beat Warren F. Blakeslee 260 votes. Mc- Geoghegan is very popular, and in the last election received the biggest majority | of any candidate, but the odium attaching Established 1823.

IN AN OVERWHELMING REPUDIATION OF GOVERNOR GAGE HE lesson of the San Jose election is plain. 1t means the overthrow of Gage and his mazhine henchmen. At the outset ot the gubernatorial campaign the push asserted that the battle in San Jose would demonstrate the Governor’s strength. To make the demonstration effective the push sent rounders from Bakers- Money was lavishly expended and recklessly wagered to stimulate enthusiasm for the boss ticket, but despite the power of money corruptly used and State patronage shamefully misapplied, the Gage administration received a stinging rebuke from the honest citizenship of San lose. Gage regarded Santa Clara County as his stronghold, and San Jose the citadel of his strength. There he expected an endorsement that would be an object lesson to other localities. He got the lesson, and it now remains to be seen whether he will heed it. Johnny Mackenzie, last but not least of the bosses, may take his place in the ranks of the rebuked and defeated along with Billy Herrin, Dan Burns, Jere Burke and John Lynch.

The hardest fight was that of Joe Bel- loli Jr. for Clerk. His opponent was J. W. Cook, who has held the office for many years. ‘Following is the official vot: For Mayor—George D. Worswick, 2442; A.

James ‘W. Rea alone wins more than $5000. “IT WAS A GREAT VICTORY.” Mayor Schmitz Expresses Gratifica- tion at the Result®in San Jose. Mayor Schmitz was apprised early last evening of the result of the election San Jose, and in an interview said: It was a great victory. Like every good citizen who favors honest administration of lo- cal as well as national government, I have a sentiment of pride at the success which has attended the fight for better conditions in San Jose. All the people interested in the sub- stantial welfare of that city seemed for once to have forgotten the small differences that | have at times existed and to have united for tho betterment of the city’s administration. I am highly gratified not only at the local re- sult and the triumph of those who are op- rosed to “‘push’” methods, but I am delighted also at the impulse and encouragement which this swecping victory gives to similar action by_the united people throughout the State. Whatever interest 1 had in this elect’on and in its results was entirely impersonal. The suc- cess of those who are opposed to the ‘‘ma- chine’ in San Jose is in line with my con- stantly expressed wishes and hopes that the m:asses of the people should interest themselves in obtainir.g more satisfactory conditions in the affaire of government and is proof that when the people will arouse themselves and take such intercet, their power will ever prevail, I have high hopes that the newly elected officials of San Jose will carry out the homor- abio promises made by them through the cam- paign, and I am confident that the entire peo- ple of San Jose will be pleased and personally benefited by the abolition of the domination of the ‘‘machine.’” One of the most pleasing features of this re- sult is the interest which the wage-workers of San Jose have evinced in the course of good government. again justifylng the confidence which may be reposed in the conservative mass- es of the people.

The boss cohorts were overwhelmed by the righteous citi- zens on the ground chosen by Gage. Johnny Mackenzie’s machine, the strongest Gage-Herrin-Burns or- ganization in the State, was completely smashed by the Good Government forces. The defeat of Mackenzie places Gage out of the list of possibilities for Governor. In order to strengthen the machine, Gage, at the suggestion of Burns and Herrin, - recently appointed Mackenzie State Harbor Commissioner. Mackenzie brought to his aid in the campaign against the forces of good government railroad money and all the reinforcements that the water front push of San Francisco L e e e e e T i i B T e e ) CONQUERS A MAD COW BY DINT OF STRENGTH Shasta County Farmer Wrenches Animal’s Neck and Saves His Own Life. REDDING, May, 19.—Wilder W. Fish, a farmer of Stillwater Creek, is being con- gratulated by his friends because he lives to tell of a remarkable encounter which he had with an enraged cow. Fish owes his life to his remarkable strength. Fish had gone into a pasture and was ‘¢harged by the cow. He tripped and fell and as he tried to arise the cow knocked him down again and tried to gore him. One horn would have plerced the farmer's heart as he lay on the ground had he not nimbly relled upon his side. He seized a horn with either hand and the cow jerked him to his feet, Then back and forth they struggled. Fish had to stand a terrible strain to re- tain his grip, but to loosen it meant death. He realized that his slren&th ‘was waning and with a final mighty effort twisted the cow’s head until the nose pointed upward and she fell upon her side stunned. Fish leaped over the fence, but was too weak to reach home without help. He is lald up with bruises and strained ‘'muscles.

FRANK McLAUGHLI A HERRIN EATS CROW. Major McLaughlin left San Jose at 3:30 p. m. yesterday. At that hour he was assured by Sam Rucker, one of the ablest leaders in the Good Government legion, that victory was in sight. The major on leaving remarked to Hayes: “Yeu will soon observe the most re- markable phenomenon in natural msLory‘ —a Herrin will eat a crow.” | The inglorious finish of Gage's political career was the chief topic of comment last night in the Primary League, Palace court, Union League Club and Mutual Alliance headquarters. The coming ex-Governor will perhaps have a few delegates in the State con- vention, but the showing will be small. | It is conjectured that aspirants for such offices as Treasurer, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Superintendent -of Schools, Surveyor, State Printer and Clerk of the Supreme Court will be gcampering around to locate the guber- natorial band wagon, but they will not apply to Dan Kevane for information.

He could have ascertained by familiar talks with the push that the Republicans will not stand for Gage. Perhaps Herrin sup- plied the money for the Mackenzie push to wager. The machine manipulators were throwing out hints last Saturday that Harriman had authorized Herrin to back Mackenzie in the San Jose election. As proof of such backing by the railroad | attention was subsequently called to the departure of an army of rounders from this city. Every rounder had a ticket for San Jose. GRAVER GROWS . GRINESE REVOLT Mandarin Leads the In- surgents in Chili, Foreign Office at Peking, However, Reports the Up- rising Quelled. ST. PETERSBURG, May 19.—A tele- gram from Khabarovsk, Eastern Siberia, dated May 13, says the revolt in the southern part of the Chinese province of Chili has become considerably more seri- ous during the last few days, and the greater part of the population is involved. The Insurgents are now estimated to number 30,000 men, under the leadership of Tsin Nin Pin, a military mandarin. It is reported that the Chinese regular troops refused to fire on the Insurgents. PEKING, May 19.—The reports from the disturbed district of the province of Chili are conflicting. The Foreign Office to-day notified the Ministers that the uprising had been quelled and that its leader and most of his lieutenants were captured. Foreigners in Paotingfu, however, assert that the leader .escaped and that the country is still greatly excited. The body and head of the priest recent- ly murdered have been recovered and given to the mission for burial. MRS. THOMAS HOPPER RESUMES MAIDEN NAME Court Grants Petition That She Be Known Henceforth as Lulu McArthur. SANTA ROSA, May 19.—Judge Burnett this morning granted permission to Mrs. Lulu McArthur Hopper, the former wife of Capitalist Thomas Hopper, to resume her maiden name, Lulu McArthur. The di- vorce obtained by Mrs. Hopper was only recently granted in Department 2, and at that time she sought to resume her maiden name. Her petition was denied by Judge Burnett, but came up in a sub- sequent proceeding. Mrs. Hopper did not appear in the courtroom this morning. The petition recited that Mrs. Hopper would be greatly annoyed and harassed by continuing the use of her husband’'s name. Judge Burnett held that, good cause appearing, the petition would be granted, and by the name of Lulu Me- Arthur she will be known in the future. At the time of the marriage, in 1892, Thomas Hopper was reputed to be the wealthiest man in Sonoma County. Twice marital difficulties arose and the couple separated. Mrs. Hopper obtained the re- cent divorce on the ground of cruelty, and declared her husband had made nu- merous sensational allegations against her character. Before the trial of the divorce case, Hopper deeded his property, consist- ing of thousands of acres of land, to his relatives. Mrs. Hopper contended that this was done to defraud her of her rights. She asked for $5000 temporary ali- mony, and this was denfed. After some legal ‘delays the case was compromised, Mrs. Hopper obtaining a divorce but no alimony. S0 4 S0 ’ Tulare’s Democratic Ticket.

Farns- worth for “Associate Justice of the Su- preme Court of the State of California. couid contribute. Jesse Marks, the Benjo- Eyed Kid and other earnest supporters of the administration went to San Jose with money to wager that Mackenzie would win. Three months ago the push shouted: ‘“Wait until the San Jose election; tigen the people of the State will get an object lesson showing Gage's strength.” Mackenzie himself would not admit the possibility of a reverse. It was the gen- eral opinion of politicians throughout the State that Mackenzie might win out; hence in all the tables estimating the strength of various candidates for Gov- ernor, Santa Clara was placed in the Gage machine list. SAN JOSEANS REJOICING. The citizens of San Jose have great cause for rejolcing, as they have saved the honor of the city and removed the blight that has so long hampered the industrial progress of the community. The fight for good principles and clean gov- ernment was admirably conducted. From 2 newspaper point of view the work of the San Jose Mercury was marveloys—for en- terprise and ability. In San Francisco great interest was manifested in the battle. Yesterday Mayor Schmitz wired the following message to the citizens’ committee: The eyes of the entire State are centered upon your contest. The spirit of every good citizen joins you in the fight for clean government and henest administration. May success crown your-cause. EUGENE E. SCHMITZ, Mayor. Last evening Major Frank McLaugh- lin, who was chairman of the Republican State Central Committee in the battles of 1896 and 1898, sent the following message of congratulation to the anti-boss leaders: SAN FRANCISCO, May 19, 1902. Messrs. E. A. and J. O. Hayes, San Jose: I most sincerely and heartily congratulate your YOUNG ATTORNEY VICTIM OF ARIZONA MURDERERS Recent Arrival From New Jersey Is Killed and Robbed Near Tucson.
