He told bow, while earning 'a salary of $60 per month from the Southern Pacific Com- pany in Monterey County, he had become the actuary of the above-mentioned or- ganizations, representing a combined cap- ital of four billion dollars on paper at the request of Charles R. Mains. He said that Mains sent down to Monterey a copy of articles of incorporation of two of the organizations and requested that he should copy the articles on the type- writer and forward the typewritten mat- ter with Gifford’s signature as actuary and Maing’ signature to Prescott, Ariz., to be recorded. Station Agent Berry worked the typewriter while Gifford dic- tated. He did not know anything con- cerning the organizations mentioned, but had the utmost confidence in Mains and did as-he directed. Several hundred certi- | ficates of capital stock also were signed by Gifford as actuary, but he did not pay any attention to the contents of the papers he signed. On cross-examination by the defendant Gifford sald that he had not been prom- ised any reward or immunity from pun- | ishment for appearing against Mains, and did not know that at the close of the Mains trial the proceedings against him- self would be dismissed. Attorney Ban- ning had told him, he said, that the prose- cution believed that Gifford had been more sinned against than sinning and that Mains was the chief eulprit in the at- tempt to bunko Dr. Bennett out of $3009. In the afternoon a batch of cashiers, bank managers and bank clerks testified that the syndicates mentioned in the in- dictment were unknown to them and had no money on deposit in their banks in this city. gol{; Marcus Rosenthal, and they never ad. Mains tried to make it appear that Gifford owed him for the board of Gif- ford’s mother, but Gifford swore that ke had paid regularly and that Mains owed bim money. The trial will be resumed this morning. —_—— Civil Service Examinations. On June 17 the following examinations will be held in San Francisco and other cities: the Smithsonian Institution, salary $70 per month, age limit 20 years or over; assist- ant examiner, patent office, $1200 per an- num.

The case of Harry Westwood Cooper, alias Ernest Moore Chadwick, charged | with perjury, was called in Judge Cook's ourt yesterday and the trial was set for Friday. The alleged perjury was com- mitted during the defendant’'s trial for forgery in Judge Lawlor's court several | months ago. ADVERTISEMENTA.

More Executive Appoint- ments for Library and Asylum Trustees. Governor Gage, whose ~departure from the Palace Hotel on the day of the San Jose election caused much comment in the | boss camp, turned up in Sacramento yes- terday and announced the following ap=- pointments: State Library Trustees—Dr. Thomas Flint of San Juan, vice self, term expired; W. C. Van Fleet of San Francisco, vice self, term expired; A. B. Lemmon of Santa Rosa, vice self, term expired; B. W. Lee of Los Angeles, vice self, term expired; Joseph Steffens of Sacramento, vice Frank D, Ryan of Sacramento, term ex- | pired. iv Trustees of the Napa' State Hospital for the Insane—W. V. Stafford of Oakland, vice J. Lewis Martin of Oakland, term expired; Max Goldberg of San Francisco, vice E. E. Wash- | bura, term expired. | _ Trustees of Stale Normal School at San! Francisco—Vanderlynn Stow, vice W. G. John: son, term expired. For some reason best known to our next ex-Governor the appointmeht of Thomas R. Emerson of Arcata to the po- sition of expert of the Board of State Ex- aminers, vice Walter F. X. Parker, re- signed, was not announced. ‘The Call, in accordance with its usual custom of foreshadowing Gage's® im- portant appointments, mentioned last week that Emerson had been slated for Parker’'s old place. The in- telligence was also impartéd that Emerson had been recommended to the unfortunate executive by J. C. Bull, a former political boss of Humboldt County. It is just possible that Gage and Bull will shift the cut and provice for Emes- son in some other pasture. li.e Governor roared when The Call gaye the news that Mackenzie had been slated for Harbor Commissioner. His Excellency evgn talk- ed of turning down Johnny, but Burns would not listen to the suggestfon. MAX GOLDBERG RECOGNIZED. Max Goldberg is appointed trustee of the Napa Asylum for the Insane, vice E. E, ‘Washburn of the clerical department of the Supreme Court. Max has not had much ‘‘recognition” of late years apart from that ich The Call generously be. stowed upon him when he acted as, g between for ex-Auditor Asa R. Welld and W. F. Herrin, ex-attorney of the Market- street Railway. 1t wil be recalled that Wells did some prancing about because B. P. Flint was not put on the push slate for Supervisor. Wells one night in the| Pleasanton Hotel became so indignant over the turning down of Flint that he threatened to come off the ticket as can- didate for Mayor. The threat so alarmed | Max Goldberg that the latter posted in| hot haste to see Billy Herrin. midst of the excitement Max lost his | presence of mind and rang up for a car-| riage to convey him to Herrin's residence. | Goldberg was formerly on the Yosemite Valley Commission, and while. the great dome is not a monument to his official integrity, the fact that it is still there, unshaven, is cited as proof that he does ' not shave everything in sight. In a spir- | ited contest last August for the honor of | representhfi the Republicans of his dis- trict in a local nominating convention Goldberg was defeated. There is a fine | fleld in Napa County for the display of | his political dexterity. When he gets to | the asylum and meets Dr. Hennessy | there will be two Gage men in the| county. ’ RETREAT FROM SAN JOSE. | The stragglers of th: four hundred that | went down to San.Jose to help Gagz are returning singly and in groups. Last| night Jesse Marks, weary and demoral- ized, showed up at his saloon on Market street. He was somewhat dazed, like the | soldiers of Napoleon in the retreat from Moscow. The ex-boss of the Fortleth! Assembly District ascribes Mackenzie's undoing to Mayor Schmitz. A remark of Jesse Marks is this: Wherever a town is big enough to have labor | unions Mayor Schmitz has the influence. | Schmitz is the cause of Johnny's defeat. The | same thing will happen in Sacramento. It is common_ political goss(g that Burns and Billy Herrin will soon haul off | Gage. The coming ex-Governor is known | to be a rampant Kicker and bucker when | the programme is not to his liking, but ! the old-time political experts in the boss | { camp say that he can be cured of his kicking spells. 3 i | Major - McLaughlin _was somev-hat | | amused yesterday when Eddie Conroy | | gave him this greeting: I congratulate } you, major, on your telegram to the | | Hayes brothers over the result of the San Jose election.” It now transpires that -Major McLaughlin was in close | touch with the San Jose Good Govern- ment leaders for some weeks prior to the election. WRECK OF THE MACHINE. The talk that George A. Knight will become the residuary legatee of Gage's | political fortune is at least premature. Khuight 1s known to be next to Gage. On [the ~original boss programme the ex- orator was, slated for chairman of the | convention, but the programme was made before the people began to acclaim Lieu- tenant Governor Neff chairman. Mayor Schmitz remarks that the Hon. Jacob H. Neff is a grand pioneer, a noble man, and should be chosen to preside over the State “Convention. There are predictions that the noble pioneer may be called on to preside over the entire State. The race for Governor is wide open for all as- pirants. The wreck of the boss machine in San Jose adds to the strength of Colenel E. F. Preston, Mayor Schmitz, E. B. Edson, Dr. Pardee, Thomas Flint, Frank H. Short and W. M. Cutter. Veter- ans belonging to the Grand Army talk of putting forward Adjutant General Stone. The Democrats are quiet. When the in- dications pointed to Gage's renomination there was great activity in the Democrat- ic camp. dozen aspirants for the first | place on the State ticket were clamoring for recognition. The universal impression that anybody could beat Gage accounted | for the desire to run against him. As re- cent events signify that Gage's candidacy is obsolete the statesmen of the Demo- cratic faith are not £o anxious to lead their party in the coming campaign. As a last resort the Democrats could fall back on Tom Geary, the Hearst candidate for Governor. FORTY-SECOND DISTRICT. At a regular meeting of the Roosevelt Republican Club of the Forty-second As- sembly District, held last evening, Presi- dent George B. Wells in the chair and E. G. Knapp secretary, the following resolu- tions were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That this club notes with great | satisfaction the crushing defeat at San Jose of the corrupt bosses and all their servile and infamous henchmen; and this club trusts that in the interest of good government the same glorlous victory may be attained at our next primary election in San Francisco. And be it further Resolved, That we congratulate the Good Government League and the good people of San Jose on their strenuous and successful ef- forts to destroy the malign and deadly influ- ences of the machine politicians in Santa Clara County. And -be it further Resolved, That we heartily commend the ac- tion of Eugene E. Schmitz, our = honorable Mayor, in the stand he has taken to assist the Good Government League In their honest ef- forts to destroy the political gang that has sought to dominate the grand old Republican party for thelr own selfsh ends. And be it further Resolved, That the secretary of this elub be instructed and directed to send a copy of these resolutions to the officers of the Good Government League at San_Jose, Cal, and & copy of the same to his Honor, Eugene B. Mayor of San Francisco. Rummage Sale for Charity.

The Supreme (Court decided yesterday that the officials of Los Angeles County had no right to refuse to pay members of the County Board of Education the sal- ary prescribed by the Legislature. The settlement of this dispute affects the other counties of the State. The law di- rects that in counties of the class of Los | Angeles the members of the Boards of Education shall receive $5 for each d%y of service. Such payment was refused in the case ai bar on the ground that the | | law is unconstitutional. The claims of the members of the board were assigned to Catesby C. Thom, who instituted suit to recover the amount of their several salaries. A demurrer was iuterposed by the defense on the ground that the complaint did not state facts sui- ficlent to constitute cause of action. The lower court sustained the demurrer and Thom appealed to the Supreme Court, re- fusing to amend the complaint. The attorneys for the county contended in"answer to the appeal that the law was })ro\'isions conflicted with those of a section of the constitu- tion whch names county officers in re- spect to whose emoluments the Legisla- ture supervision. It was claimed that the members of Boards of Education were not county officers. The Supreme Court maintains that there is no necessity for passing upon the con- stitutionality of the law in the present | instance. In reference to the appeal it is decided that’the complaint stated facts sufficient to constitute cause of action and the lower court is accordingly di- rected to overrule the demurrer and pro- ceed with the case.

It happened that Todkill had two gtores on the same lot. The election was held in the wrong one, according to | Hayes. The lower court was sustained in its gedsion that the proper building was used. Clara A. Harris of Stockton failed to recover the property which she had deed- ed to her supposed husband. She was ma:ried to Harris in 1573, and thereafter conveyed to him certain mining interests. Hé¢ managed his new-found fortune well, and when he died in 188 was worth a great deal of money. It then transpired that he had married in Georgia in 1849, and that his wife and a son were still living. They were declared to be his heirs. Inasmuch as Harris had forgotten to mention this fact at the time he se- cured the minesein dispute, the supposed wife claimed that she had been cheated. The court holds that she was never legal- ly married to Harris and that the Georgia family is the legal owner of the property. REVERSAL IN TRACEY CASE. The, order of the lower court granting Catherine I. Tracey’s petition to termin- ate the life estate of Bridget de Campos was reversed yesterday by the Supreme Ccurt. The property involved is two building lots on Lewis street in this city. A. H. Carpenter, convicted of suborna- tion of perjury in a Stockton petty lar- ceny case and sentenced to five years' | iruprisonment at San Quentin, was grant- ed a new trial because of technical errors of the lower court. Robert Mills and wife were upheld in their contentions against J. R. Patterson in the matter of certain water rights on land adjacent to Shasta River. Don’t Miss This.

FOLSOM, May 20.—The investigation into the conduct of the Folsom Prison on May 24 is awaited with mueh interest By the citizens of Folsom and the attaches of the institution. Convict Raymond, Wals den Wilkinson's secretary, is charged by the officials with watching their mowt ments and reporting them to the Ward: Guards, as well as prisoners, are out= spoken regarding the food served them iR the prison. The former claim that they have to come to Folsom to get a “squafe meal,” and some procure their own sups plies and cook them in their rooms. Former Guard Cann makes a serious llegation against Warden Wilkinson. &sni says (ga Warden disliked Convigt Olden, who had charge of the dairy supe plies. Cann says Wilkinson told him that there was three pounds of oplum in the safe and ordered him to sell it to Olden. Wilkinson, Cann alleges, explained that he would have an officer hold up Olden and find the opium upon his person, and the board of directors would then remove Olden’'s credits, forcing him to serve his full sentence. Cann-is a resident of Fol- som. He declares he will substantiate his statements with other witnesses if the board of direcllm‘s request his presence at the investigation. During the investigation, it is said, Con- vict Brock Smith will be brought before the board to show the effects of the ing human strait-jacket, a mode of punish- ment instituted by ' Warden Wilkinsom. Smith ‘is alleged to have been laced until he could hardly breathe and left upon the floor of a cell for eighteen hours. Prior to this punishment he was considered one of the strongest men in the prison; now, it is sald, he is a physical wreck. Many of the prison employes have malz boxes in Folsom, giving as a reason thal convicts have been detected handling theig letters. SUB INTRODUCED BY UNITED STATES ARMY. Stories. PICTURED PAGE.
