To the State at large there is little difference between Oakland and Alameda, and there is a general fail- ure to recognize the fact that the editor from Alameda uses an extra “I” in his name, while the editor from Oakland has vse for but one. Then the editor from Alameda has been in the journalistic chair for a quarter of a century, during o - . - — G. B. DANIELS, WHO IS INVOLVED IN THE OAKLAND ENQUIRER. LITI- AND T. G. DANIELLS, EDITOR OF THE ALAMEDA ~ARGUS, ‘WHO IS FREQUENTLY BELIEVED TO BE THE LITIGANT. which time he has dccumulated a large list of friends and acquaintances through- out the State, while the editor from Oak: land has been running his paper for but . This makes it particularly embarrass- ing, because there is a tendency on tha part of some of the papers published out- side of Oakland and Alameda to refer to the editor who is now on trial in tha Police Court as ‘“Editor Danfels.” Head- ings were filled with statements as to how “Editor Daniels” was to be arrested, was arrested, was on trial. The well meaning but unobserving people of “ne | State did not look to see whether there was one or two I's in the name of tha editor, and so the editor from Alameda has been deluged with offers of sympathy, | bail and support in his time of trouble. “T. G.” EXPLAINS. All of this has caused the editor from Alameda to break .loose in bitter lamen- | tation in the editorial columns of his own paper. Every day or so Editor T. G. | Daniells of Alameda writes a long series of explanations, by which he endeavors Daniels of Oakland, who is undergoing examination in an Oakland Police Court for the serious charge of defrauding the county. Only last evening Editor T. G. Daniells of Alameda wrote thus about himself in this endeavor to explain matters: When we have occasion to go to our sister city of Oakland the number of people who offer to go our bail is large and growing. The people over there fully understand about the esteemed contemporary who is named sim- flar, but they like their joke. On_ July 1 of the present year Editor T. G. Daniells of Alameda had this to v at the top of the editorial columns of his paper, the Alameda Argus: To sundry friends and anxious inquirers: The “‘Editor Daniels” who is in a controversy in Oakland and whose name appears plenteous- 1y in the big papers is not the Editor Daniells Who for twenty-five vears has stood at the helm of the Argus. This fact is so imperfectly understood that formal declaration of it ap- Jears to be necessary. Not a day goes past that some well-wisher does not hand us a bunch of sympathy because of our prospect of going to jail, as they judge from the scare heads in the big papers. There are two of us of the same name and occupation and it is getting embarrassing the way we are con- fused, EYE HIM ASKANCE. But even these editorial declarations do not seem to be wide reaching enough for the editor from Alameda. When he goes to San Francisco his friends ask him if he needs any. help to keep out of jail. When he goes into the country the tour- e T askance and finally find opportunities to retire quietly without hurting his feelings Some of his new acquaintances carefully refrain from mentioning “jail’’ to him so that he may not be embarrassed, and there are many who belleve that the word “Grand Jury” is tabooed in his presence. Wherever he goes, whether for joke or seriously, the editor from Alameda is con- fronted with this confusion of names, and is the recipient of either sincere sympa- thy, which is not desired, or flippant Joke, which has become equally monoton- ous. This is what the editor from Alameda has to say, by word of mouth, in regard to this confusion of names: That was all a good joke when it first started, but It is getting to be a little mo- notonots now. There are some people Who understand the difference, but there are a lot of people who don’t know the difference be- . Then the papers are always referring to ‘‘Editor Daniels,”” and to many that might mean me. It 1 go away from Alameda then I begin to get it from ail sides. Sometimes It comes in fun, but more often it is serious. I was at Bartlett Springs last week and when I came down on the train some of my traveling com- panions, who had been my friends for weeks, bought 'papers. There was a big statement that “Editor Daniels” was to be arrested for felony. One young man handed me a paper and then waiked away to the other end of the car as if he expected me to falnt, and some of them did not know whether I was under arrest or returning home to jail. It may be funny, but I am beginning to think that I am having about as uncomfortable a to show that he is not the Editor G. B. ists at the summer resorts eye him time of it as the other Daniels.

Albert Richardson Stevens, a pattern- maker, 22 years of age, committed sui- cide yesterday morning in his room in the Murphy building by taking laudanum. About ¢ a. m. he went to room 143 in the same bullding occupled by his friend, ¥mil Penez, and =aid, “Oh, you have been 50 Kind!” The effects of the drug then became apparent and Dr. L.' E. Mighell was summoned, but he did not succeed in counteracting the poison, and at 7 o'clock the patient died. In the room of the unfortunate young man was a letter reading as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, July 15, 1902. To Mr. Emile Penez: You have been my dearest and best friend and done for me the same were I your son. It seems somewhat selfish to leave this way, but I have not. ner ever did have fortitude or courage to battle against this world and its ways with the al- mighty dollar. The duty of arranging affairs will_naturally rest upon your shoulders, so | kindly see that my last wishes asked of you are carried out. Give my cousin, Mary Walter, nal effects, and the moneys in the little niece, Genevieve Alice: to my brother, Arthur, the bicycle and writing sk, and also the money from Boston will be his, as my brother I will it to him and any properties in my name.

Mary Jane Morgan of Oakland was brought before United States Court Com- missjoner Heacock yesterday on a com- plaint charging her with having mailed a threatening postal card and “an ob- scene, lewd, indecent and lascivious let- ter” addressed to Charles W. Shores of the same place. Mr. Shores is a waiter who formerly kept company with the Morgan woman and then absented himself against her wish. While the complaint charges only a postal card and a letter, Second Assist- ant United States District Attorney Dun- can E. McKinlay has several scurrilous letters in Nis possession which Shores re- ceived through the United States mails. presumably from his former flame, Jane Morgan. The woman was released on $250 bonds to secure her appearance for the prelimi- nary examination next Saturday morning at 10 o'clock e e Wants Wittman Enjoined. Attorney William - H.

C EFENSE SEEKS T0 SHOW PLOT PutsinEvidencs toProve Conspiracy Against Daniels. Foreman Read Says Some One Altered Entries in the Job Book. —— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 16. The defense had their time before Police Judge Smith to-day, and they put in the | preliminary testimony for their carefully built up case which is to show conspiracy between Stedman and Hadley to discredit and injure President G. B. Daniels of the Oakland Enquirer. The arst effort of the defense is to show that the order for the fifty-nine plat books was actually a sub- stitute order for the seventy-five working rolls, that the substitute order was charged to Oakes, and that it was be- cause of Stedman that the order had been changed so as to be made a charge against the county of Alameda. The force of accountants of the paper said that the order for the fifty-nine plat books had been originally charged to OQakes, but that upon the statement of Stedman it had been changed to be a charge against Alameda County. Thomas M. Robinson, Henry Dexter and H. H. Miller, all deputies in Assessor Dalton's office, swore that they had never talked with Stedman in regard to these books, but all said that the mortgage books’ were not needed in the office. A. J. Read, the Enquirer's printing foreman, described the transactions of the books as follows: 1 got the order for the thirty mortgage books from Stedman, Who sald they were to cost $975. The order came in on August 19 and on ‘August 21 Stedman came in and told me that the books for George Oakes were mot to be | made as he had an order for their substitution. Several days afterward he brought in the new “copy’’ and on Stedman's order I changed tie entry on my job book from seventy-five work- ing rolls to fifty-nine plat books. He said the change was necessary because the State Board of Equalization had changed the form of the mortgage books. At his suggestion I changed the entries on the tags that accom- | panied the order. The plat books were finished in October and I turned the tag over to the bookkeeping department and teld Stedman to fix the price. He afterward fixed the price at $1062 and I entered it on the tag and job book. The order on the tag and in my book stood in the name of George Oakes and the words ‘‘Alameda County' were never on the tags while in my possession. All the pages of the job book were filled on April 17 and I opened another after locking the old one in 2 wer. (li)r:m:m as I found that the original orders had been canceled and that some one had been monkeying with my books. DANIELS GAVE NO ORDER. “Did Daniels ever give you an order for fifl?—glne ‘pooks and say, ‘This is an or- der to take the place of the one that Stedman ordered? ” asked Mr. Snook. “No, that is not so.” “Did you ever get an order from Dan- lelsx\lor county work?"” Noo Read told substantially the same story in regard to the order for thirty mort- gage rolls, for which sixty books were afterward substituted. He said the tag for the work was in his possession up to February, when it was stolen from his desk, and the next time he saw it was in_the Grand Jury room. On cross-examination Read testified that he first noticed the cancellations in his job book when M. de L. Hadley, the | deposed business mflnlfet of the En- qu?rer, told him one day in the early part of June, about the 3d, that Henry Ach, attorney for D. Edward Collins, who is suing the Enquirer directorate for an ac- | counting, wanted to see his job book con- laln(nggthe entries of August 19, 1901. He immediately - became suspi¢ious and re- fused, on the ground that he had no au- thority without an order from Daniels to show any books. On the quiet afterward he looked at the date Augnst 19 and saw that the orders had been canceled. He called them ‘‘tricky” cancellations. “Then you refused to give the books to Hadley, a stockholder, because Ach wanted to see the entry for that date?” “No, not exactly. I knew he was fight- ing Daniels and that Daniels was at the head of the corporation, and I had no right to give up any books. I didn't know any reason why I should give it to Hadley. Danlels had the power to dis- charge me and I had no desire to cross his_authority.” “Well, why weren't you afrald Hadley would discharge you? He was a stock- holder.” “He could if he wanted to. I would have resigned immediately if I felt that I was distasteful to him.” “What did you do with the book after you took it out of the desk?” ¢ “I took it to Mr. Danfels’ private office and showed him the canceled entry.” ;;'Showed him the entry?” “Yes. I was suspiclous of those can- cellations. I knew some one had been monkeying with those books, and I thought it best to tell Mr. Daniels what I discovered. I didn’t want the book in my possession any longer. Mr. Daniels locked it in a safe and kept it there un- til the Grand Jury investigation.” At this point the examination was con- tinued until to-morrow morning at 10:30 | o'clock. ELNERPUAS Judge Ellsworth to Try Dalton. OAKLAND, July 16.—Judge Ellsworth wired Judge Melvin to-day from Lake County that he would return to Oakland to-morrow and expressed his willingness (g try the case against the Assessor on the indictment brought against him by the Grand Jury.

F. McCarthy of San Francisco, Clark of Sacramento and Willlam Peacock of San Francisco. More were not present be- cause of the vagueness of the specifica- tions and plans. There was a good deal of speculation as to what would be the outcome of the | whole affair, since builders desirous of | bidding for the contract were dissatisfied. | It has been suggested the Supervisors | may in the near future be brought into court with the object of preventing them | giving out the contract for the court- | house until other plans and specifications | bave been made out. | The board has announced that the old | building is to be torn down to ome foot | below the ceiling basement, which iz de- | scribed in the specifications. The pres- | ent building is of brick, with stueco | the outside, apd as the basement floor is above the grade it is contended that a | strange anomaly would be exhibited were | a granite superstructure to be erected oa | the brick and stucco walls. | It is more than suspected by some peo- ple that the same condition will arise at Woodland as during the erection of the | Martinez courthouse, when the board sub- | stituted granite for stucco work which | had been calied for by the architect. The change to granite in that case entalled a heavy extra expense on the taxpayer. ! In the case of the Woodland courthouse, {if a change from stucco to granite is | subsequently ordered by the Board of Su- | pervisors, which is freely prophesied | the knowing ones, it is claimed that thera | is nothing to prevent the contractor | charging any price he chooses, as undes the proposed contract none but he couid do the work. It has also been pointed out by build- ers who have been keeping an eye on | the matter that the change from stucco | for the basement story to granite facing will not be made until the work has been actually commeénced under the existing specifications. They ask why the all im- portant matter should not be thoroughiy investigated now and at once and thus avold additional heavy expense. Experts point out that the one change in the case of the Martinez courthouse cost the taxpayers 35000 or $6000. | _Contractors also find fault with the | plans for not showing the new building | as being in proximity to any other buila- ing. On going there to verify their esti- | mates they were surprised to find that | the real wall abuts against the wall of | the jail, yet specifications call for granite on all sides. It is not the belief of any | one competent to judge that that part | of the specifications will be carried out, for it is generally contended that the wall abutting the jail should be built of brick. Under the present !eelinf of dissatisfac- | tion prominent builders feel that Archi- tect Mooser should at once formulate new | and more explicit plans and specifications and in such a manner that they can be | readily understood by competing contrag= | tors.
