Selects San Pedro as Place for Commencement of Proceedings. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, June 14.—San Pedro was the place chosen by Governor Gage to-day for the commencement of threat- ened legal proceedings, and there, before Justice Henry C. Downing of Wilmington Township, he filed the long-expected com- plaint for alleged criminal libel against John D. Spreckels and W. 8. Leake. He had announced yesterday that he would file the complaint at his home in Downey, but he changed his plan and chose San Pedro instead. When Gage arrived on this coast he landed at San Pedro. He is well known throughout that section of the county. Accompanied by several friends the Gov- ernor went to San Pedro to-day and re- paired at once to the office of Justice | Downing, who had been notified of his coming and was waiting for the party. The proceedings in the courtroom on the top floor of a rickety building, on the first floor of which is a ship chandler’'s store, were brief. The complaint, which bore the formal approwval of District Attorney Rives, was tendered to the Justice, who | administered the oath to Gage. The war- rant was then issued, the form having al- ready been prepared by the Governor's attorneys, and all that Justice Downing had to do was to afix his signature and seal. The warrant was placed in the hands of Constable Carl Carlson of Wilmington. Township and the party then departed. Constable Carlson decided to-night that he wouid not serve the warrants. Carlson admitted that the job was too big for him. He appealed to the Justice under whom he serves and was sent to the Sheriff. The papers were then turned over to Sheriff Hammel and he will leave on Monday morning for San Francisco to serve them. He will simply present the the convenience of the defendants neces- sitates. Following is the complaint: TEXT OF THE COMPLAINT. In the Justice Court of Wilmington Town- ship, County of Los Angeles, State of Cali- | fornia.

ROPE OR BULLET 10 END HI3 LIFE Convicted Murderer Has Choice of Means of Death. Peter Mortensen Is Found Guilty by a Jury in Salt Lake. SALT LAKE, Utah, June 14.—The jury in the case of Peter Mortensen, charged with the murder of James R. Hay on the night of December 16, 1901, this afternoon at 3 o'clock returned a verdict of “gullty of murder in the first degree.” Mortensen will be sentenced July 5 and will choose between hanging and shooting in expla- tion of his crime. Hay, who was a neighbor of Mortensen, was secretary of the Pacific Lumber Company, to which company Mortensen was indebted in the amount of $3800. On December 16 Mortensen requested Hay to call that night at his home, bring a re- ceipt for the sum and he would pay him the money. Hay was not seen alive after calling at Mortensen’s house. Two days later Hay's body was found buried near Hay had been shot. Mortensen was arrested on suspicion and in his pocket was found a receipt for the money and an uncanceled note. Mor- tensen claimed he had paid the money to Hay in $20 gold pieces, but told conflicting stories about it. 3 A feature of the trial was the testimony of Hay's father-in-law, James Sharp, who claimed to have had a revelation from God that Mortensen was the mur- derer. * The trial began May § and it took four weeks to get a jury, which was secured only after an open venire had been de- clared. The testimony and argument oc- cupied two weeks and the jury was out three hours. The verdict was reached unanimously on the first ballot. Civil Service Officials Protest. WASHINGTON, June 14—The Civil Ser- vice Commission has forwarded a com- munication to President Roosevelt urging that he hesitate in renominating Survey- or General Perrault of Idaho, who has been under fire on civil service charges for some months. The commission charges that Perrault refused to appear before Its representative sent there to in- vestigate the charges and that he gave expression_to utterances derogatory to President Proctor of the commission. — Now Is the Time To get one of our clocks, the pretty golden ones that please everybody.

SAN QUENTIN, June 14.—At the meet- ing of the State Board of Prison Directors to-day The Call made a formal request to be allowed ta inspect certain books in relation to San Quentin prison affairs, This was granted, after which the board went into executive session. During this executive session a resolution was adopted naming June 25 as the time’for holding the Investigation of San Quentin affairs asked for by The Call. prison l MORE DELEGATES - AGAINGT GAGE Republicans of Interior Repudiate Boss Machine. Administration Appeals to Democrats for Aid and Comfort. Tehama County Republicans elected delegates to the State convention yester- day. The delegation is opposed to Gage. To-morrow Tulare County Republicans will meet and the indications are that delegates opposed to the renomination of Gage will be chosen. The opposition to Gage is growing wider and deeper. The push politiclans are so badly rattled that they cannot get together and put up a formidable contest against the good gov- ernment forces. The Democrats, however, are so anxious that Gage shall be nominated that they have resolved to vote at the primary election for delegates to the Republican convention. Word comes from Los An- geles that a few Democratic votes will be cast in each Assembly District for Snyder delegates to the Democratic State Convention, but that the main body of Democrats will vote for Republican dele- gates favorable to Gage. A similar game was played by the bosses in San Fran- cisco last August. At least five thousand Democratic voters were called to the aid of the machine ticket. In fact the Demo- crats under the leadership of Sam Rainey, Herrin, Greany and Jere Burke gave the convention to the bosses. publican voters at the municipal election following resented the intrusion by re- pudiating the ticket. GAGE IS REPUDIATED. The Republicans of California have practically repudiated Gage. What little strength he may derive in the election of delegates to the State convention will be thrown to him by Democratic voters, who | desire his nomination for the sole reason that he is the weakest Republican aspir- ant in the fleld. The Chinese cook, who was paroled by the ‘‘business administration,” cooked the political goose of his Exceliency. When the politicians saw the indisputable proof —the indelible record—that the adminis- tration had taken a Chinese felon from San Quentin and installed him as chief cook in the home of the Governor, they realized that Gage was a loser. The pa- roling of furniture from San Quentin was bad enough, and the scandalous Kern County bond _transaction, wherein the school fund suffered a loss of $16,000, was worse, but the politicians maintain that the employment of a Chinaman in the Governor’s kitchen is the offense which the workingmen will not pardon at the polls. AFFAIRS IN BOSS CAMP. Affairs in the boss camp of San Fran- cisco are badly mixed. For many weeks | the district henchmen have been waiting | for comprehensive orders. They want to get an inkling of the second choice of Burns and Herrin, as they are fully cog- nizant of the fact that Gage delegates cannot be elected in any Assembly dis- trict of San Francisco. Adjutant General Stone is home again from a flying visit to Cleveland and several of the machine followers hope to get word that he is ac- ceptable to Burns and Herrin. The machine politicians no longer fig- ure on making a fight to organize the State convention. It Is conceded generaliy that Hon. Jacob H. Neff of Placer, a Re- publican whose Integrity is beyond ques- tion, and whose services to the party have been highly creditable, will be chosen chairman. State Senator 8. C. Smith of Kern, a leading aspirant for the Republican nom- | ination for Congress in the new Eighth District, is in the city: s sl hdad P Republican Alliance Meets. The Republican Mutual Alliance held its first meeting In the Twenty-elghth As- sembly District last night. A large crowd was present and listened to speeches by Senator Morehouse, J. G. Lewis, L.

SAUSALITO, June 14—The body of Thorold Ross was found on the beach near Sausalito this afternoon, and brulses upon it indicate that he may have met with foul play.

Ross was last seen in a tamale grotto 4 been drinking and was known to have had money in the early part of the even- ing.
