Sure Sign That Bces2s Will Be Downed at the Primary. At the banquet given under the aus- pices of the trades unions in compli- ment to Mr. Gompers, Governor Gage read a typewritten speech, but he failed to explain why he hired as his cook a Chinaman who had been serving a term in the penitentiary for the crime of mur- der. The free white workingmen of Cali- fornia like to know why the Governor rates a Chinaman above an American and holds a convict above a free man. Perhaps the Governor can explain, but his supporters say that he wants ‘“‘to let the matter drop.”. When the Governor | was reminded that Dr. Lawlor was stiil | holding the job as Superintendent of | the Home for Feeble-minded, after all the | promises to the public that the doctor | would be Instantly “fired,” he advised i the directors of the home to “let the matter drop for awhile.” The present | scheme is to stave off a meeting of di- rectors untfl next Saturday in order to allow the Lawlor push to draw down the August salaries. Such transactions as | this cause the push to commend the | “business of Governor | Gage. i MENDOCINO AGAINST GAGE. Another version of the Gage figures is in order. Mendocino County must be eliminated from the calculations of the push. The Mendocino delegation was claimed as sure for Gage. It now hap- pens that the delegates are squarely against the machine. All trustworthy re- ports from the interior peint to a general decline of Gage stock. In order to brace up the tottering push in the country dis- tricts, rumors are circulated that Gage is gaining strength in San Francisco, but the rumors have no foundation in truth. The increasingmegistration is a sign that the bosses will be defeated at the pri- mary election on August 12. When the registration office closes next Saturday night there will probably be 50,000 voters ,on the register. Yesterday 993 citizens registered, making the total up to last night, August 2, will not be permitted neighbor to-day ‘Are you registered?” Voters who have not yet registered and who shall fail to register before mid- night, Augusz 20, will not be permitted to_vote at thé primary on August 12 for delegates tothe State and local nominating conventions. Failure to register must be accounted as something akin to coward- ice. It is the duty of the citizen to reg- | ister and yote. It is to the lasting credit of the Republican Primary League that an active canvass to promote registration was adopted early in the campaign. The work should be continued with renewed zeal throughout this week. THIRTY-SIXTH DISTRICT. A meeting of the Thirty-sixth Assembly District Republican Primary League Club was held last night. The following were | nominated as delegates to the State con- | verition: } F. W. Burrett, R. D. Duke, J. W. Rogers, C. | H. Truman, Adam Beck, F. P. Daly, F. Haley, John Tonningson and 8. A. Phillips. | _Delegates to the municipal convention | were also nominated as follows: | Henry N. Beatty, Carl Anderson, J. C. Tittel, | Adam Schaeffer, John Corbett, H. G. Krasky, | J. E. Ellington, A. C. McKenzle; Julius Meyer, C. Dubler, Frank O. Wahlgren, M. F. Byrne, | H. D. Janes, Frederick Dunward, James Perry, | Philip Stoltz, James Elifson and Daniel Ross. | Objection was ralsed that no notice of |intention to nominate delegates was given in the call for the meeting and a | protest against the proceedings was odged last night at Primary League | headquarters. The bone of contention in {the district s the State Senatorship. | There seems to be no objection to the | proposed delegates to the State conven- | tion. ;l CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. | _The Union League Club reception to the | California Congressional delegation, which {'was originally appointed to take place { July 23, but postponed in respect to the | memory of General W. H. L. Barnes, will, | be given to-morrow evening at the rooms of the league. Invitations have béen e tended to the Senators and Representa- | tives in_Congress, to Governor Gage, { Mayor Schmitz and members of the | Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and Merchanty Association. The secr: tary of the club has been advised of man,; acceptances. & PRIMARY LEAGUE. A meeting of the Republican Primary League Club of the Thf:’n third Assem- bly District was held last evening at { Sunnyside Hall, 10 Floral avenue. D. W. Burchard and C. W. Marlatt were the | speakers of the evening. The Republican Primary League of the Fcrty-first Assembly District will meet this "evening at Stelmpke Hall, corner TUnion and Octavia streets. The Republican Primary League of the Thirty-seventh Assembly District will meet to-morrow evening, July 30, at De- visadero Hall, 317 Devisadero street. The Republican Primary League of the Forty-fifth Assembly District will meet on Thurs@ey evening, July 31, at Wash- ington Sq®are Hall, corner of Union and Stcekton streets. Good speakers will be in attendance, DISCUSS THE PASTERS. Time Fixed When Lists of Delegates Must Be Prepared. The Republican County Committee met last evening at the Shiels building, 23 O'Farrell street, but little business was transacted. Chairman T. D. Riordan stated that he had received samples of the pasters selected by the Election Com- missioners for use at the forthcoming primaries, and that Registrar Walsh de- sired all lists of delegates to be sent in not later than August 2 in order to have the names placed on the tally lists. Chafrman Riordan announced that the pasters to be used in the various dis- tricts must be identical with the samples furnished or they would not be accepted by the election officers. There was some discussion as to the date fixed by Registrar Walsh for the lists of delegates to be sent in to him, and a resolution was passed that it was the sense of the committee that five days previous to the primary election would be sufficient time Tor the lists to -be turned in to the registrar’'s office. Messrs. Truman, Prendergast, Asher, Hathorn and Marks were appointed a special committee to wait on Reglistrar ‘Walsh and notify him of the views of the county committee. administration” ‘DEMOCBATS ARE ORGANIZING. An enthusiastic meeting bf the Demo- crats of the Forty-third Assembly Dis- trict was held last night at Golden Gate Hall. At the close of the meeting the roll had been signed by nearly 250 mem- bers. J. R. Pringle was elected presi- Gent, Neil T. Beggs first vice-president, Howard McCrary second vice-president and W. W. McNair sécretary and treas- urer. Addresses were made by Messrs. Patrick Boland, Robert P. Troy, L. de Bartlett,, H. McCrary, George H. SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 29 1902 MAYOR REFUSES |STILL TINKERING |PLEADS INSANITY 10 INVESTIGATE WITH CHARTER IN'HIS DEFENSE Says Prizefightihg Mat- | Brandenstein Proposes|Former Soidier Is Ac- ters Cannot Occupy His Time, it Declares Championship Bat- tle Good but Deems Egpd Unsatisfactory, Lxa gyl WS “The contest between Jeffries and Fitz- simmons last Friday night was a splen- did exhibition,” said Mayor Schmitz yes- terday, “but I did not like the ending.” ! Hundreds of people have expressed the | same opinion. They wanted Fitzsimmons | to win and when he succumbed to a ter-| rifle blow over the heart they left the | arena disappointed. Mayor Schmitz was | one of those who had this feeling. He| had watcned Robert Fitzsimmons make | the champion of the world look like a novice for seven rounds. He had seen | the blacksmith break Jeffries’ nose with a right-hand smash and saw the gore flow from the proboscis, proving the blow | was a terrible one. The city’s Chief Ex- | ecutive also saw Jeffries’ face pummeled | into an unrecognizable state and with | others marveled at the boxing ability of the lighter man in the battle. He saw Jeffries send forth his mighty fl!ts! and land a blow on Fitzsimmons’ stomach | in the seventh round that lifted him off his feet. He saw the two blows that | endsd the contest fifteen seconds before | the ciose of the eighth round. And hav- ing seen the greatest heavyweight battle ever fought in this city, or elsewhere, the Mayor turned to spectators at the ring-- side and said it was one of the best ex-! hibitions he had ever witnessed. He stood where he could be near Fitz as he went out of the pavillon and smiled approv- ingly upon him. Thousands of people who saw the bat- tle came away with the same opinion. They saw a man possessed of bull strength | withstand the triphammer blows of an artist in his line. They saw an aged man, as prizefighters go, battle against a_ gladiator whose remarkable vitality alone saved him from going down under a shower of blows that the greatest puncher in the ring can deliver. They also | saw a man welighing 218 pounds battle against one that weighed less than 160. | Mayor Schmitz has washed his hands | of the whole affair., He says he has some- thing else to do than hold investigations to prove whether a prize-ring contest was legitimate or crooked. The Mayor was told yesterday that Fitzsimmons demand- | ed an investigation, but he was obdurate. | city who saw the contest and who are of the opinion it was on the square. Thelr | opinions can be had for the asking. Every- | one has laughed heartily at the Bxamin- | er's attempts to bolster up its weak" story. Dr. L. @. Cox, who attended Fitzsim- mons after his contest, sent the following statement to The Call last evening: SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 1902. ‘To The Call: As there have been a number of misstatements purporting to come from me as to Mr. Fitzsimmons' condition after the fight of Friday night I desire to offer the fol- lowing statement of facts: I saw Mr. Fitz- simmons soon after he left the ring and found his condition as follows: Three knuckles of | his left hand, at metacarpo-phalangeal articu- lation, were much swollen and painful, render- ing it very difficult for him to close the hand, The left thumb was badly sprained, with luxa- tion at the metacarpo-phalangeal articula- tion. This, he states, occurred in the early part of the contest and I cannot conceive how he could use the hand at all after such an | injury. There was no fracture of ribs, but | a decided depression at the sixth rib, left side, near the heart, as if the bone was bent slightly ward. This at first looked as if the rib might be cracked, but subsequent investigation con- | firmed me “in the opinion that there was no bone broken. The following day he visited my office. I found an ecchymosed spot over the deltold muscle, just below the outer articulation of the clavicle and cellular effu- sion over the region of the heart, with tender- ness on pressure. The use of the left arm was much_impaired, with considerable loss of motion. He had a rapid nervous pulse, which | Was also intermittant. At this visit and while | Mr. Fitzsimmons was preparing to take an | electric light bath he suddenly turned pale, reeled and fell, and for a short time lost con- sclousness. He was placed on a couch by my assigtant, Willlam T, Haberly, and myself, | and after a few minutes revived. The symp- toms of nervous depression from shock to the sympathetic system were more pronounced dur- ing the latter part of Friday night and during the day Saturday than just after the fight. He was certainly badly used up, though not showing much external evidence of injury. Dr. J. S. Stone was present at the time cof his visit to my office on_Saturday and will verify this statement. C. COX, M. D. —_— PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SAVES SOLDIER’'S LIFE Guy Stevenson Goes to Leavenworth Prison for Fifteen Years In- . stead of Hanging. President Roosevelt has again saved a soldier from hanging, as announced in orders received at army headquarters yesterday. Guy Stevenson, Troop M, | Ninth Cavalry, was found guilty of crim- inal assault ahd sentenced to dishonora- ble discharge and death. The sentence was approved by the Secretary of War, | but the President intervened, and the man | will escape with fifteen years’ imprison- | ment.

WILSON WHISKEY That’s Alll JAKE JOSEPH, Representative, 300 Battery Street, San Francisco. ‘slein directing the committee on charter : Having but One Fire Commissioner. st Supervisors Pass Fredrick’s Claim Despite Its . Illegality. R i A resolution was presented yesterday to the Board of Supervisors by Branden- amendments to prepare an-ordinance de- scribing a proposal to amend the char- ter so that the Fire Department will be under the management of one commis- sioner in lieu of four, as at present pro- vided in the charter. The resolution was referred to the charter amendment com- | mittee. Brandenstein expressed himself as op- posed to the existence of so many com- ! missions under the charter. He stated | that the experiment of having one head | of \a department had been successfully tried in the East. The resolution authorizing the payment of $49375 to P. Fredrick for services as Justice’s Clera during April, May and part of June was adopted. Brandenstein explained that part of the time for which Fredrick demanded pay George McComb had also acted as clerk. Although Bran- | denstein said that the claim was an ille- gal one with the exception of $66 it was ordered paid, with fourteen Supervisors voting in its favor. Supervisor Booth’s resignation from the committee on publio buildings was ac- cepted. ‘DRUGSTORE LICENSE. The petition of the San Francisco Re- tail Merchants' -Association for the post-| ponement for two weeks of final constder— ation of the ordinance imposing a license of $3 on drug stores that sell intoxicating liquors was granted, The postponement is asked to enable the association to cir- culate a petition asking for certain amendments to the ordinance and a re- €uction in the rate of license. The petition of the Point Lobos Im- provement Club that the names of streets in<the Richmond and Sunset districts be changed so as to avoid confusion with those in South San Francisco was refer- red to the street committee. The petition of Charles L. Patton, chairman of the executive committee of , that the dome of nightly from Avugust 10 to August 17, inclusive, was re- ferred to the light committee. An ordinance was passed to print set- ting forth a proposal to the electors to amend the charter so as to increase the ray of engineers in the Fire Department irom $11250 to $140 per month. The Board of Works was requested to cause the removal of obstructions on Thirty-fifth avenue south, between K and Ralilroad avenues. The Board of Works was requested to | report upon the advisability of opening IsPa.ls Creek to navigation by compelling the construction of drawbridges over Kentucky and Illinois streets. | The San Francisco Gas Company was | requested to install lights at designated points in the outlying districts. OBJECTS TO EXTENSIONS. Alpers raised an objection to granting an cxtension of time to the contractors having the contract to construct the Army-street sewer. He called atten- | tion to the disgraceful condition of many streets which he sald were allowed to remain unfinished for an indefinite time. The attention of the Board of Works will be called to the fact that in many, in- stances both gides of the street are being | repaved at the same time, to the inconven- ience of the public. The ordinances revoking all permits heretofore granted for the maintenance of | signs and clocks upon the edges of side- walks and regulating the use of signs| upon or projecting over streets and side- walks went over for two weeks. Thomas Molloy was appointed ordinance | clerk to the board at a salary of §100 per | month. The United Railroads was granted per- mission to erect a storage tank having | a capacity not exceeding 30,000 barrels for | the purpose of storing crude oil or petro- leum under boilers in premises at North | Point and Laguna streets. The Board of Works was directed to| hurry to completion the police station at | Fourth and Clara streets. ST. MARY'S SQUARE FUND. The petition of the St. Mary's Square Association and Paulist Fathers that a resolution be adopted by the board bind- ing the city to raise in the next tax levy the sum of $50,000 for the acquisition of lands for St. Mary's Square was referred to the Finance Committee. The petition states that the board had ordered paid a demand of $25,000 for a judgment claim | against St. Mary's Square fund of $125,000, | but the Auditor declines to make the pay- ment until %‘55‘7550 creditors, with claims egating $50,000, were paid. e peti- ffif:\;rs ask that the claims be paid. Ordinances were finally passed as fol- lows: Requiring grooved rafls to be used within certain districts when new street railway tracks are to be laid. Authorizing the Auditor to appoint twenty- five extra clerks. i Ordering the repaving of Beale street, be- tween Mission and Market streets, at a cost of $11,000_and bituminizing of Mission street be- tween Persla and Onondaga avenues at a cost of $10,000. Authorizing the Mayor to purchase a $25.- 000 lot on Bush street near Taylor for the Fire | Department.

State Chairman C. L. Meracle of Oakland will direct the proceedings. An effort will be made to select omly those who will agree to attend the State Convention at Los Angeles. It is an- nounced that the choosing of delegates will not be an easy matter, as the ex- penses may deter many from going there,. although the local committee of Los An- geles is striving to assure success for the cause, there being a large nuinber of enthusiastic Prohibitionists in the county of Los Angeles. e Funeral of John Jay Scoville. The funeral of John Jay Scoville, whose death from heart failure occurred last Saturday evening, will take place at 1 o'clock this afternoon at the headquarters of George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., Post street. Mr. Scoville was secretary of the board of directors of the Veterans’ Home of California and a widely known and highly regarded comrade of the Grand_Army. In the great conflict to save the Union he_ enlisted August 15, 1861, in Company K, First Wisconsin Cav- alry, and served until May 13, 185. His career as a Soldier was honorable and his life as a civillan praiseworthy. The interment will be in Thomas Post piat of the Presidio National Cemetery. e g Accused of Robbery. Antone Lavaginl, a bartender, was ar- rested on Kearny street yesterday by De- tective Bell and Policeman Mathewson and booked at the city prison on a charge of robbery.

Stevens, a former soldier, who ?}peared before Judge Conlan yesterday m a charge of attempt to defraud by trick and device, was, acording to the testimony offered for the prosecution, employed while in the Philippines as hangman. The fact was brought out as Attorney Caldwell for the defendant at- tempted to show that Stevens was men- tally irresponsible for his acts. Stevens was accused by Tony Phillips, a grocer at Baker and Greenwich streets, of obtaining from him cash, liquor and groceries on the representation that he had $1500 deposited with the army pay- master and had three months’ pay com- ing to him. Phillips alleged that he as- certained that Stevens had no moncy coming to him nor had he any money de- pesited with the paymaster. For the defense it was urged that Stev- ens was insane and had been detained in the insane ward at the Presidio. ‘'fo rebut this allegation the prosecution ‘called Robert Wiison, a soldler, who tes- tified that Stevens never was Insane. Stevens had been employed to hang Fili pinos, and when he was asked to per- form that ceremony on two soldiers wh had been sentenced to death by court- martial he feigned insanity and was re- lieved from the office. Stevens had been in the insane ward at the Presidio, but, it is alleged, because he had been drinking So much that it was necessary to lock him up somewhere till he sobered up. The Judge was asked to release Stevens on nominal bail, but he declined and con- tinued the case till to-day to get the evi- dence of the paymaster. BROUGHT FROM NEW YORK ON A SERIOUS CHARGE Frank L.

MINISTER DISCUSSES THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC Says Society Must Set Its Face Against All Things Essen- tially Wrong. At the Methodist ministers’ Monday meeting held yesterday, a paper was read by the Rev. Francis M. Larkin on the “Ethical and Economic Aspects of the He contended that the right to commit sins did not belong to a community more than to an individual and against all things essentlally wrong, including the liquor traffic, he submitted, soclety must set its face. Soclety and the State, he said, recog- nized traffic in liquor as’a business which was econorgic more than _ethical. He deemed that a careful examination of the econornic side of the business and an ear- nest effort to make it conform to the £ame economic principles applied to other callings would prove a most efficlent aid in temperance reform. He said further that the liquor traffic was an economic waste and an economic injustice. If the same energy and capital were utilized in other industries he was sure that there would be no danger from overproduction, but that vast benefits would accrue to the community. ———— Beaten by Her Husband.
