Question of Apportionment of Delegates Still Un- decided. The Republican County Committes met | last evening at Shiels Hall, 32 O'Farrell street, for the purpose of hearing reports of the varlous committees recently ap- The procecdings were manotonous. Secretary C. McClellan read a communi- cation, signed by J. C. Camphell as chair- man of a recent meeting of Republicans, recommending to the County Committee ! that clubs be formed in each Assembly district, that should be- dominated by na one man or set of men or corporation and should be absolutely independent The communication also suggested that | the mottoes of these clubs shouid be *no i m,” “clean politics” and ‘home ule.” The letter was received and placed Ralph L. Hathorn, chairman of the committee to draft 4 plan of permanent | organization, presented a report based on the lines suggested In the letter men- tioned. The report deplored the dissen- sions in the Republican party of San Francisco, and id the lack of harmony due to pelty jealousies, factional dif- < s and personal ambitions, and that there was no reason why the party should not work as a unit. The committee suggested the formation | of Republican clubs in each Assembly | district of the city, to be maintained as | independent organizations; that each club | shall nominate and select its own dele- | gates to the convention, and that the| delegates shall remain unpledged. The report was adopted. E. M. Buckley, chairman of the com- to report and asked for further time. He said- that the committee was not quite sure as to certain legal points. Chairman Riordan explained that the question to be decided by the committee on_apportionment was whether the num- ber of delegates to the local convention be the sa as fixed for the State con- | vention by the Republican State Central | Committee, or whether it be doubled. | John 8. Partridge favored one set of delegates for the local convention and an- other set for the State convention. P.| H. Prendergast and M. B. V. Taylor also | fayored doubling the apportionment of | delegates. Martin Kelly proceeded to enlighten the ineeting as to the numerical strength o the Fourth Congressional District com- mittee, appointed by the State convention | held at Banta Cruz. Chairman Riordan thought that Kelly’'s information was nét | of much value in guiding the committee on the matter of apportionment of dele- gates to the local convention. The question of apportionment of dele- | gates was not decided and the commit- | tee having the matter in charge was| given further time to report. | Resolutions that 4 petition be filed with the Registrar calling for an official place | on the ballot for the primary election, | and that each member of the County | Committee be urged to use every effort | 1o secure registration of Repubhcani voters, were adopted. | The meeting adjourned to meet again on Monday evening next at- the same hall. | —_— | ILL-TIDINGS FOR PUSH. Utter Failure Awaits Efforts Arouse Gage Enthusiasm. | The members of the Gage-Kevane-Aguir- re machine continue to recelve the most | discouraging news from the interior. The | latest intelligence of a depressing nature | came from Sonoma County to the push camp. Recent efforts to awaken a little enthusiasm in that county for Gage's | candidacy utterly failed. There are many | indications that the Republicans of North- ern California, following the example of San Joaguin Valley Republicans, will send to the State convention independent citi- zens of high character, who will not take orders from the machine managers. In Kern County strenuous exertions were put forward to establish a Gage | club. “After weeks of rallying and round- ing up, it was found impossible to get a hundred voters into the camp. The Republican County Committee of San Francisco, which was created by the convention that nominated Wells for Mayor and Fisk for District Attorney, was counted on as an organization which | might be induced to take up the Gage | fight, but the committee practically | throws up the sponge and declares Gage a beaten candidate. No doubt the ma- chine henchmen will resort to all kinds of | strategy to get a few Gage men on the | various Assembly district tickets, but the voters will carefully scrutinize all the names proposed and thus identify the un- der-cover Gagelings. The Gage cause fs so weak in San Francisco that his polit- ical advisers have not the courage to put forward a straight-out Gage delegate ticket in any district of the city. It is be- coming obvious to the leaders of the ma- chine forces that the people of California will not tolerate an extension of the Gage- | Kevane-Aguirre administration. NEW REPUBLICAN CLUB.

OAKES CTED FOR INDICFMENT ARE ELE N - 7 TWO MEN WHO MAY BE INDICT- ED, AND THE MAN WHO PRE- AKLAND, June 2.-—The Grand Jury voted on several indictments to-day and finally adjourned af- ter instructing its secretary and the District Attorney to draw up at least two and possibly more indict- ments. Two men who found a majority of the Grand Jury against them are Coun- ty Assessor Henry P. Dalton and Geor A. Oakes. When the Grand Jury meets again on Saturday final action wiil be tak- en and true bills formally returned. No action was taken upon the charge against G. B. Daniels of the Oakland En- quirer, and a general impression, with ap- parently some foundation, that Daniels will not be brought under the ban of the Grand Jury is growing. The session of the Grand Jury to-day was exciting. Some of the members want- ed to bring in other indictments, and it took the inquisitorial body from early morning until late in the afternoon to fin- e ally make up its mind. Because of this the story found currency that indictments of two ‘other members of the Enquirer staff had been ordered prepared. Whether these other cases will come up for consid- eration on Saturday next is not certain, but no conelusion was reached to-day. NO WITNESSES CALLED. There were no witnesses called before the Grand Jury to-day, the only person to go before it being District Attorney J. J. Allen. Mr. Allen had a long session with the Grand Jury in the morning and another in the afternoon. After the Grand Jury adjourned John W. Tompkins, the secretary, was closeted with the District Attorney In consultation over the prepara- tion of the papers ordered. The publie report of the Grand Jury will not be made until Saturday morning, but the votes were taken to-day upon nearly all of the cases that are before them. The reason for the failure to include G. B. Daniels in the list of those for whom indictments are being prepared is said to:be owing to the fact that Danifels did FERRED THE CHARGES. not receive any of the money that was drawn from theé county for himself, and that he testified before the Grand Jury that $1500 was turned over to County As- sessor Henry P. Dalton. Mr. Daniels, it is said, disclaimed any knowledge of the transaction, except the mere transfer of the money to the County Assessor. He is said to have denied any knowledge of the preliminary order for baoks upon which ti hecks were issued, and this, he said, s in the hands of Russel Stedman. DANIELS ESCAPES ONUS. This left the onus of the transaction upon Dalton, Oakes and Stedman, and there were some of the grand jurors who wanted to involve all in the deal. As Stedman orlglnally made the affida- vit upon which this action is based, this turn of affairs has been a surprise to many who have been watching the inves- tigation. Threats have been freely made that Stedman and possibly others would be implicated before the investigation was finally concluded. Tt is believed that the Grand Jury is go- ing to make some comments upon the sys- tem of ordering supplies and paying there- for that will permit books being ordered | and payment made for them without thelr | being delivered. County Assessor Henry P. Dalton re- fused to discuss the matter to-night, tak- ing the ground that he would say nothing until the report of the Grand Jury was formally filed. BEmil Nusbaumer, who first made the Chfll‘fiel against Dalton and Daniels to the District Attorney, said to-night that if both of the men against whom he had brought the charges were not indicted he would swear to warrants before a Jus- tice of the Peace and force them to trial. BOCIETY MAN OF BOSTON WEDS A POPULAR ACTRESS Harvey Wilson Bell Is Married to| Irene Perry of Augustin Daly’s Company. NEW YORK, June 2.—Irene Perry, a beautiful actress, known to the public through her long association with Au- gustin Daly's dramatic company and her leading paTts in ‘The Crystal Slipper,” “The Circts Girl” and ‘“The Runaway Girl,” has been won as a bride by Harvey Wilson Bell, one of the wealthiest young soclety men in Boston. Miss Perry has recently been with ‘“The Defender” company, now playing at the Columbia Theater, Boston, and her im- personation of Mrs. Jack Gardiner was one of the catchiest hits of the town. The company was thrown into a flutter of excitement by the announcement that the young actress had suddenly left the com- pany and it was not until this morning that any but the closest friends knew the real reason. The wedding ceremony was performed vesterday afternoon by the Rev. Dr. Kid- der of St. Ann’s Church, Boston, and the couple kept it secret until last evening, when they arrived at the Bellevue Hotel. The actress bride met and married Al ‘Webber shortly after she appeared with the Rice extravaganza “Pop,” but di- vorced him a short time later. Mysterious Burning of Freight Depot BEAUMONT, Texas, June 26.—Another of the freight depots of the Southern Pacific Rallroad here was burned this morning in identically the same manner and at almost the same hour as the first one destroyed six weeks ago.

O'Connor’s Slayer on Trial Before a Jury, Children Tell of Father’s Unfounded Suspicions Against Mother. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 18 Broadway, June 26. Thomas Devine, the slayer of John J. O’Connor, against whom he nursed a grudge of twenty years' standing be- cause of an imaginary injury, was put {on trial to-day before a jury in Judge Melvin's court, where his sanity will be determined. | ‘The trial of Devine on a charge of in- sanity is a novel propesition. In the case | of the Rev. Charles G. Adams for the murder of Dr. J. G. Jessup, the former minister was first tried for homicide, and, after acquittal, was tried by a jury on a charge of insanity and declared in- ne. In this case the authorities have | decided to first try Devine by a jury to | determine his sanity. | ,Deputy District Attorney Samuels and | Attorney M. C. Chapman of defendant's counsel did not haggle much over the qualifications, and in less than an hour | after beginning this morning they had the necessary twelve. These were: Laing; G. F. Leon, Gottleib Zeh, A. A. Graves, E. H. Clawiter, C. D. Hayes, A. B. Clark, Joseph Davis, Colby Coliins, E. A. Moody, J. B. Baxter and D. E. tree. ™" DAUGHTER TESTIFIES. Miss May Devine, the defendant's daughter and a student at the State Uni- versity, first told of her father's weak- nesses.’ She remembered his unannounced departure for Ireland in 1884, after hav- ing accused his wife at their then home in San Pablo of intimacy with O'Connor. The wife was left destitute, but she man- aged to get funds and follow him and bring him back te California. She related | instances of his hysterical conduct, and expressed her unqualified belief in his insanity. Devine's eldest daughter, Miss Joseph- ine, who teaches school, told of the insane delusions her father entertained regard- ing her mother and O’Connor. She said there was not the slightest suspicion against either of them. She heard him say often that he would die for O'Connor some time, and his imaginary enemy's name was ‘ever on his tongue. “He thinks he ought to be hanged for the iilling,"” she said: “He shows no_ re morse for the crime. I think he enjoys the prospect of hanging. He thinks there is something wrong because he has not been hanged already.” EXPERTS GIVE TESTIMONY. | . Dr. A. M. Gardner of the Napa Insane Hospital, J. W. Robertson of the Liver- more Sanitarium, Dr. O. Hamlin and Dr. Dunn all offered expert testi- mony, all asserting their belief in De- enormity of his crime. Jerry Savage and Michael Sullivan, sec- tion men who worked under Devine, and Neal Devine, his san, testified that they believed him insane. All heard . him make threats against O'Connor, and stat- ed that he seemed to be preoccupied at all times with thoughts about the man hle killed after twenty years’ delibera- tion. During the conduct of the case Devine sat in a chair apart from his counse! and spoke not a word. He was more indifferent of the proceedings than the most casual spectator in the courtroom. At recess his children gathered around him, but he was not concerned about the consultations. He seemed annoyed when his daughters told ‘the jury that they he- lieved him to be Insane, because he holds that he is positively sane. The case will be concluded to-morrow.
