THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1902. ALLIED BOSSES MAKE NOISE AND THROW DUST TO CONCEAL THE REAL WEAKNESS OF THE BADLY SMASHED GAGE MACHINE Flint and Pardee Open Headquarters Here and Offer to Fight the Gage Revised Returns F to the Strength of Forces Against HE battle for the favor of dele- gttes on the gubernatorial end of the 1.ght opened in San Fran- cisco yesterday when Dr. George C.

Mitcheil of Fresno will assist the Senator. At Pardee headquarters Felton Taylor, City Treasurer of Oakland, gives the glad hand to visiting delegates.

It is a simple fact that the Republicans ©of the Primary League would have won fourteen of the eighteen Assembly Dis- tricts if the voting for delegates to the Republican State Convention could have been restricted to members of the Repub- lican party. The Union Laborites made a poor showing. It is doubtful if the party 1 be reconstructed for effective use in ihe campaign. GAINS FOR THE LEAGUE.

Careful analysis of the district delega- tions sustaine The Call's estimate that Our Dental Prices. Some dentists say, and some peo- ple think, because our prices are so low, it Is impcssible for us to do good dentistry. If any of our readers have such an impression, we desire to cor- rect it. We do an enormous busi- pess, that is to say, we have 10 skilled operators doing work. These men are constantly at work because of the large business we are doing, consequently, we can give better work for less prices than anyother nt. Furthermore, our guaraniee insures every patient fgainst poor work. We are not in business for one day or for one week, but to remain continually and we want every customer to be our friend and send us more customers, and we could not expect this of you if we did 1ot do your work thoroughly.

Thom- as Flint is assured that he (Flint) will g2t forty in San Francisco. Felton Taylor at Dr. Pardee's headquarters contends that the doctor will get thirty-five city votes. It is a well-known fact that E. B. Ed- son will receive a considerable number of San Francisco votes. Verified returns establish the truth of The Call’'s contention that Gage is a loser. The Governor has only seventy- five votes south of Tehachapi. Reports to the contrary are misleading. His strength in the south consists of sixty in Los An- geles, six in Riverside, seven in Orange, ,yone in San Bernardino and one in Santa Barbara. His managers cannot force Kendall, candidate for State Board of Equalization, into the bgss camp with the San Bernardino delegation. The number of delegates in the equalization district in which Kendall resides is 308. The district is a Flint stronghold, em- acing these counties: Fresno, Inyo, Lern, Kings, Los Angeles, Madera, Mari- posa, Merced, 3ono, Monterey, Orange, Riverside, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ban Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, Tulare and Ventura. The poli- ticlans are inquiring where Kendall would i get cff if he made a Gage combination in | this district. The Governor has nothing | to trade but a bunch of the Los Angeles contingent. The politicians who are deceiving them- selves with fictitious claims belong to the i Gage push. The Governor is 150 short, ac- | cording to a broad and liberal ealculation of his strength, of the number required to nominate. The push seems to think it is an easy matter to break into the anti-boss camp and take away 150 votes from Flint, Pardee and Edson.” The Flint strength approximating 300 is crystallized. Dr. Par- dee is something of an organizer himself, E. B. Edson has a loyal following. These candidates for Governor controlling at | least 665 votes propose to organize the | convention and stand firm until the Gage force dissolves. They are prepared to stay two weeks in Sacramento. When the | dissolution comeg Flint, Pardee or Edson will get the nomination. The Gage push would like to stir up a strife between Flint and Pardee, but the play is too weak to have effect. SACRAMENTO FOR LANE. Capital City Dh:o_cmts ‘Favor the San Franciscan. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 13.—The delegates chosen by the Democrats in this city ves- terday are friendly to Franklin K. Lane of San Francisco for Governor. The | county delegates appointed by the county central committée also are for Lane. The Republican county convention has been set for Tuesday, August 19. In the State delegation chosen yesterday by the | Republicans there is a contest at Oak | Park between the club leaders and the | county committeemen. Both men are for | Gage, and the outcome will not change the status of the delegation. | | Nutt's Decisive Victory. SAN DIEGO, Aug. 13.—Full returns | from vesterday’'s primary election show that the delegates who favor A. E. Nutt (Republican) for Congress received about 0 per cent of the total vote cast, the re- maining 30 per cent being divided between the supporters of M. A. Luce and D. C. Collier. San Diego County’s nineteen delegates to the Republican State conven- tion are headed by U. §. Grant Jr. and ell are anti-Gage. El Dorado’s Delegation.

REDDING, Aug. 14—The Democrats, in the primaries yesterday, elected eleven | delegates to the State Convention. They | are uninstructed, but are believed to fa- vor Lane for Governor. POLICE COMMISSIONERS MAINTAIN THEIR POSITION Decide to Stand by Their Order Against Nickel-in-the-Slot | Machines. A majority of the Police Commission- ers maintained the position taken by them against Mayor Schmitz in the nick- el-in-the-slot machine question at a meet- | ing held last night at the Hall of Justice. | During a discussion over the revocation of licenses held by saloon-keepers who | operated machines that had been tabooed | by the board, the question of injustice | done by the commissioners’ mandate to persons who had paid a machine license as provided for by law was brought up | by the Mayor. These men, the Mayor maintained, had paid one branch of the city government for a privilege, and an- | other branch was seeking to deprive them of it and destroy their business. “I am not in favor of gambling,” ex- | plained the Mayor, “but I believe in deal- | ing justice to every person who transacts business with the city, so that the com- munity may not be placed in the position of taking monmey under certain promises and then refusing to keep faith.” Every saloon man summoned before the board explained the presence of the ma- chines in his place of business after the Commissioners had ruled against them, by saying that he had replaced them upon the statement of the agents that the Com- missioners had withdrawn their objec- tions. With the exception of one, James Hurley, none had paid the license in dis- and all were willing to obey the board. When the case of Hurley was called, Mayor Schmitz asked him if he wished to continue the use of his ma- chine. Hurley evidently was willing to lose his $10 rather than risk his license. He stated that the machine was stored in the rear of his saloon and Commissioner Hutton voted to revoke his license. Com- missioners Howell and Mahoney voted to grant the license on condition that the machine would be removed, while Presi- dent Newhall voted to grant the license unconditionally. —————— YOUNG LADIES’ INSTITUTE GIVES GRAND RECEPTION Miss May Stein, Grand President, Is Presented With Beautiful Prayer-Book. A pretty reception was tendered to Miss May Stein, grand president, and the grand officers of the Young Ladles’ In- stitute last evening by members at their hall .on Tenth street, Mrs, Burke, president of Institute No. 7, made the opening remarks and presented on behalf of the ladies of Institute No. 7 a beauti- ful fvory and gold bound prayer-book to Mies May Stein. The recipient responded with many thanks. —————— Striking Tanners Gain Victory. The striking tanners gained a partial victory vesterday in their fight for short- er hours and better pay.

Corrected returns from this city #nd Los Angeles add to the strength of the anti- Gage forces. Messages received last night by Flint from Stockton assure him that the San Joaquin County delegation is solid against Gage. Several days ago The Call announced { that immediately after the primary elections the allied bosses would claim everything, no | matter what the result might be. The prediction was verified yesterday. prearrangement the push congregated in the court of the Palace Hotel and Gage would be nominated. — Corrected returns from Los Angeles and Santa Clara put a damper on the demonstration. The shouting was brief and ineffective. The anti-Gage forces are firm and unyielding. There is not a sign of weakness in the line. fellow citizens to rebuke Gageism, Lawlorism and Kevaneism propose to*stand by the people and fight the allied bosses to a victorious finish.

Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Aug. 13.—Final returns from all of the distant precincts were received to-day, and show that in the delegation from Fresno County to the Republican State Convention there will be fourteen and one-half votes pledged against Gov- ernor Gage, and two and one-half votes for him. In the Sixtieth Assembly Dis- trict two of the Gage men—David Cos- grave and A. J. Hudson—were elected by harrow margind. George Schorling and Samuel Tombs, the latter of whom was nominated by the anti-Gage Primary | League, are tied for third place, with 133 votes each, and both will be delegates, entitled to one-half vote each. The vote in the country was overwhelm- ingly anti-Gage. Most of the larger towns of the county elected delegates pledged against Gage, while all of them elected | a majority of antl-Gage men to the| County Convention. In county politics the election has decided very little and the candidates who win the nominations in the convention on the 21st will have to.| do considerable work among the dele- gates before the convention meets. The rospect, according to the party leaders Eere, is very much against the nomination of any of the men who have been put for- ward by the machine. The delegates under machine control are not sufficient in number to organize the convention. It is understood that an effort will pe made to defeat Dr. Chester Rowell for the Senatorial nomination, and that Attorney H. H. Welch will be put up against him. Much interest centers in the fight for the nomination for Sheriff on the Repub- lican ticket. J. B. Gearhart, Floyd Mitche ell and W. W. Machen are after the place. Machen's chances are considered slim, the fight being between Mitehell. who'is being backed by the Gage gang and Gearhart. The friends of Mitchell admit that they have a hard k de- feating Gearhart. The principal interest in the Democratic fight hinges upon the County Clerk nom- ination. J. B. Johnson, W. O. Miles and lewls Wiliiams are after it. Johnson, it is admitted, came out a little ahead on the primary election, but it is doubtful if he has enough delegates to nominate him. The fight between him and Miles has waged so fiercely that many believe Wil- hams will be nominated as a compromise candidate. e e e e i e B e i Y ) MURDER GLOSES THE POKER GAME Winner Pays Dearly for His Luck at Cards. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. AVALON, Santa Catalina Island, Aug. 13.—W. R. Yeager, whose home is sup- posed to have been in Louisville, Ky., was shot and killed in a small room ad- jolning the bar in' Hotel Metropole at 5:30 o’clock this morning. Two shots were fired, the first bullet grazing his ear and the second entering the top of the head as he “‘ducked” to get out of range. He sank back in his chair and was dead be- fore assistance reached him. ‘With Alfred B. Boyd and Harry John- son of Los Angeles, Yeager nad spent the night in the room, playing poker. He won all the money and nearly all the as- sets of the other players. At 3 o’clock Johnson quit, but did not leave the room. According to Johnson's story, Yeager and Boyd continued playing until 5:30 o’clock, when Boyd, who had lost all of his money, a _dlamond pin and a small watch, demanded that Yeager advance $50 on a large gold watch. The demand was refuse¢d. Johnson says Boyd then drew a revolver and fired two shots without say- ing a word. He dropped the weapon and left the room. Johnson picked up the weapon and gave it to the barkeeper. Beyd was at once arrested and in the lockup was closeted with Attorney George J. Denis, who advised him not to talk. To-night, however, Boyd denied that he had shot Yeager and said he did not know who did. He admits that the revolver was his property, but said that as the game closed he turned to make a cigarette when the shots were fired. He does not accuse Johnson, nor does he explain how it was that his revolver did the killing. Little is known abdut Yeager. He%ad been here since June 26 and is said to have had a fondness for cards; in fact, he is believed to have pald his expenses with his winnings. Boyd was until re- cently in the cigar business in Los An- geles. Johnson is out of employment at present. Boyd will be held in custody until the arrival of the Coroner to-morrow from Los Angeles and will then be taken to the County Jail.

Captain William M. Holmes and Ed- ward F. Dougherty, engineer of Enging | Company No. 37, located on Twenty-thicd street, below Alabama, narrowly escaped being killed last night while responding to an alarm from box 281, at the corner of San Bruno road and Army street. Both firemen were badly injured, and the physicians attending them say that they will be unable to report for duty for sev- eral weeks. Dougherty was the worst in- jured of the two, recelving a severe wound in the groin, The firemen claim that the accident was due to the reck- lessness of a motorman on the Twenty- fourth street electric line, who did not at- tempt to check the speed of his car when he heard the engine approaching. ‘When the alarm came in at 10:10 o’clock last night the company tur: out romptly, No. 281 being in its district. Riaurice Barrétt. who I considered one of the most careful men in the Fire Depart- ment, was driving, with Dougherty and Captain Holmes standing on the rear of the engine. Barrett drove down Twenty- third street to Potrero avenue with the intention of proceeding along that thor- oughfare to Army street, it being the most direct route to the scene of the fire. ‘When he reached Twenty-fourth street the electric car was rushing down the hill from the direction of Utah street. Barrett realized that it would be impos- sible to cross the track before the car would be on top of him and he turned the horses to one side to let the car pass. The hose wagon, driven by Willlam Tra- cey, was following close behind the en- ne, and before Tracey could slow up his orses were on top of Dougherty and Holmes, pinioning them against the en- gine boliler. The pole of the wagon struck Dougherty in the groin and as the horses swung to one side Captain Holmes was caught a heavy blow in the back. Both men fell from the engine and their companions ran to their assistance. Captain Holmes was removed to hiy residence at 2764 Twenty-fourth street and a physician was summoned. It was found that while Holmes had escaped having any bones broken his back was badly bruised. He also complained of consid- erable pain in the spine. injuries arc such that he will be confined to his home for some time. It is not thought that he received any internal injury. ] Engineer Dougherty was taken to his home at 1126% Alabama street, between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth, and placed under the care of a physician. He was suffering intense pain. pole of the hose wagon caught him the groin, inflicting an ugly wound that re- quired Seven stitches. He is glso badly bruised on the body and chest. The firemen complain that the motor- men on the Twenty-fourth street line show an utter disregard for life. They send the cars speeding along at an un- lawful rate of speed, the firemen say, and the clan&ins of an engine bell does not bother them In the least. An accident BAGE MY BET NO VOTES IN SANTA CLARA Entire Delegation Prob- ably Will Vote as a Unit, Political Graveyard Receives the Corpse of “Boss” Mackenzie. » Special Dispatch to The Call. p SAN JOSE, Aug. 13.—The overwhelming defeat of the Mackenzie and Gage forces in San Jose and Santa Clara County spread cheerful smiles over the faces of & vast majority of the residents to-day. The only damper upon the joy of the populace was that the recount shows that Gage has gained another delegate in the First and Second wards of this city. Mitchell Phillips, who was credited last night with having been elected by one yote, is defeated by Jonathan Sweigert by iwo votes. This gives Mackenzie a representation of four on the State dele- gation out of thirty-seven; but, . then, there is no certainty that these four dele- gates are for Gage, and it is probable they will vote with the majority. Out- side of the city everything is anti-Gage. It was in the county that the Macken- zieites went down to ignominy. Outside of the city he has not secured a half dozen delegates to the county convention while in San Jose but twelve avowed followers of Mackenzie were elected to the county gonvention. This, following on his defeat in the city election in May, practically eliminated ~Mackenzie from consideration in the naming of candidates for the coming election and has driven him from politics in Santa Clara County. For years the ‘“gang” has had control of the County Central Committee of the Republican- but vention, which will name the new com- mittee. The Republican Good Government League was the factor in scoring the vic- tory of yesterday. For five years it has been organizing throughout the county. The league will have the naming of the county ticket in its hands and will con. trol the party organization durl State campaign. i The Hayes brothers—E. A. and J. O.— are the founders of the Good Government League, For four years they have been demanding open primaries throughout the countmealnhlnlng that with a fair pri- mary ackenzie could not control the delegats @ il e el @ NEW RAILROAD UP THE CORST Nc‘wthwestem May Be HExtended Through to Coos Bay. PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 13.—Chief En- gineer L. D, Kinney of the Great Central Rallroad to-night gave out a statement that the transcontinental feature of the Coos Bay Rallroad had been accepted and he hud been directed to make a location of the line through to Salt Lake. This acceptance, he said, provided for bonding the road at $16,000 a mile, involving in round numbers $15,000,000. Kinney also announced that the railrgad would be built to reach San Francisco and Port- land, along the coast. This will not be a part of his enterprise, but he says that it will be built by capital friendiy to the Coos Bay-Salt Lake line. It is understood that it will be an ex- tension of the California Northwestern, which now_reaches northward fi San Francisco Bay to Willits. Kinney says that he has been instructed to~hurry the &u:lng of the line between Coos Bay and Lake. Work will be commenced on the Salt Lake end first, and it is under- stood that the road will cross the south- ern end of Great Salt Lake. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.—Senator W. A. Clark when questioned to-day ing the statement recently published in Portland, Or., to the effect that the pro-- Jected road between Salt Lake and Los Angeles was “being sacrificed in favor of the Coos Bay project” said: “There is absolutely no truth in the statement.

Full Returns Accentuate the Repudiation of the Railroad Candidate in His Ow n Home. Special Dispatch to The Call 0S ANGELES, Aug. 13—The| district conventions that will be | held in the country sections of | the various Assembly districts at 10\ o’clock to-morrow will de- cide finally just what representa- | tion the Gage and anti-Gage forces will| have from Los Angeles County in the| State Convention. As a result of the primaries in the city and other towns of; the county yesterday, it is now known | Gage has forty-two delegates, whue‘ twenty anti-Gage men were elected. Thirty-four delegates are to be chosen in the conventions to-morrow. It hiu‘ always been conceded that the anti-Gage | forces are comparatively stronger in the country districts than in thé city, and the Gage men that they do not hope to | win more than one-half of the delegates to be chosen to-morrow. This would give them fifty-nine out of the ninety-six dele- gates from the entire county. But the Enwesfi.e men nrelnot wflunell hat the thachine will carry one- | Pt ot the country dclegations; instead | they claim that practically the entiré | thirty-four will be opposed to Gage. They | say that the county has been, carefully | canvassed and that the sentiment against | Gage is so strong that he will not get a vote from the eutlying districts. While this seems like-an optimistic view of the situation, it is supported by figures in the possession of the antl-Gage lead- ers. In the eastern part of the county | Gage made many enemies by vetoing or failing to sign several important bills in- | troduced by Senator Currier. He took | this petty revenge because Currier would not truckle to him in the last session of the Legislature and would not support his so-called “plague bills.” That section of the county will have by far the largest delegation, and it is believed it will be solidly anti-Gage. L. The Flint county compaign committee to-night asserted that in the State con- vention Gage would be certain of only forty-two delegates from this county and that those opposed to him would number fifty-four. FLINT WINS THE COUNTY. Former State Senator Robert N. Bulla, who has been one of the leaders in the Flint campaign in this county, to-day Is- sued the following statement: Governor Gage has forty-two votes out of & possible ninety-six, snd we are certain of twenty votes. Only Los Angeles and Pasa- dena have spoken, leaving the issue to be decided in the country districts fb-morrow. Of the remaining delegates to be selected, Gov- ernor Gage may obtain only one, in a locality I do not care to specify, and he s not positively assured of that. Our claim to-day is that we ry Assembly conventions 111 give us a total of fifty- | x votes In the delega- | tion from Los Angeles County. we ever have claimed has of the Los Angeles delegation. If we sweep the territory outside the city we shall have within six votes of the best claim ever made by our side. On the other hand, Governor Gage's forces have claimed the solid delegation from the Governor's home. As it stands the Gage peo- ple already. are twenty votes short of their claim; and if we get fifty-four votes here, as I expect, with the rest of the State in propor- tion, I do not see how the Governor possibly can be renominated. Edson votes, we know, will come to us in large numbers when that strength splits. I have personal advices that sure me Gov- ernor Gage has no strength in San Joaquin County. From San Francisco I have no in- formation since yesterday, and neither has our side any advices from Fresno. GAGE IS DEMOCRACY’S HOPE. That Gage secured forty-two delegates in_the city in yesterday's primaries sur- prises no one in Los Angeles. It is a source of surprise that he did natvv;et more, considering the tactics used. hy the Democrats did not_ elect his entire ticket no one knows. The amazing fea- ture of the primaries was that precincts ator Bulla to-night gave out a table show- ing what the anti-Gage forces believe to | be the real situation. Senator Bulla has practically had charge of the Flint cam- paign in this part of the State, and this is the first authoritative statement of the kind made from the anti-Gage side. In the preparation of this table Bulla gave | to Gage every vote that is not Known con- clusively to be against hime Thus the ta- ble represents the maximum strength that Gage could poll in the State Convention. while it is certain that many of the doubt~ ful votes will be recorded against him. Bulla's figures are as follows: County— Anti-Gage. Gage.

In Humboldt County alone re is a discrepancy of twelve . yotes, t number being assured to Flint out of the twenty votes from the county. In the San ncisco figures Bulla has been ex- ceedingly generous, placing in the Gage column at least thirty votes that the anti- Gage forces know will be found aligned acaldut the Governor in the State conm- ‘vention. in which were cast 13,1588 Democratic votes in the Presidential election two years ago polled considerably less than 1500 Democratic votes yesterday. In many places not a_Democratic vote was cast; therefore such precincts will have no’rep- resentation even in the Democratic con- ventions, Democratic leaders to-day ad- mitted that they vised merhbers of their party to support Gage because they belleved it to be good politics from thelr standpoint, and they are now sorry that they did not cause the defeat of every anti-Gage delegate. This they could have done with ease. They declare that with Gage as the nominee the Democrats will be practical- ly certain of electing their candidate for Governor, while if any other Republican be nominated the nomination will be tant- amecunt to _election. It was for that rea- son_that they did what they could yes- terday to elect Gage delegates, and it was through that agency that the Gageites elected forty-two delegates out of the sixty-two. The same conditions will not prevaii in the district conventions to- morrow, for the reason that there will be no secret ballots and when a Dem- ocrat attempts to vote he will be known. Theee conventions will be a better indi- cation of the real wishes of the Los An- geles County Republicans than the re- turns last night were of the city Repub- lcans’ preferences. having spent the afternoon in tel- e S elegraphic communt honic and cation ith anti-Gage men throughout the State and having had access to pre: sS reports and newspaper specials, former State Sen- @ il R @ Raker Wins in Modee.
