LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11.—The manage- ment of the Century Athletic Club, which had scheduled a meeting between Joe Walcott andiJack Johnson for the 2Zlst inst., has reccived a telegram from Wal- cott ng that his arm was broken in his fight with Childs at Chicago Thurs- day last.

TWO MEN FIGHTING FOR OFFICE THAT MAY HAVE NO EXISTENCE M. S. Taylor and R. B. Tappan, Both Republicans, Are Struggling to Be Elected City Justice of Alameda, Success Meaning a Court Battle for th e Victor i — - MAJORITY OF THE VOTERS. % — RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR THE OFFICE OF JUSTICE OF THE PEACE, | THE EXISTENCE OF WHICH IS DOUBTED OR REGRETTED BY A Republican nominee for the place, are out for the position of City stice of the Peace, which office the rict Attorney holds exists now in Al- >da, against the desires of the town s and many voters. There has er been such a local official, the duties hat would come within the jurisdiction f that magistrate being performed, as it present, by the City Recorder. - It is he difference in the salaries paid that makes the office of City Justice of the Peace more attractive than that of City Recorder. The single change of title from “ity Recorder to City Justice means an increase from $90 a year to $2000. The office of City Recorder is a consti- tutional creation and cannot be abolished by the Board of City Trustees, although hat body has the power to fix the salary and may reduce the same to a nominal sum and will probably do so in case the municipality has to maintain a City Jus- tice of the Peace. By section 103 of the Code of Civil Pro- cedure, in force in 1880, it was provided that in every city having more than 10,000 inhabitants there should be one City Justice of the Peace. Ih 189, the census having shown that Alameda had more than 10,000 residents, R. B. Tappan ran for the office and was declared elect- ed. As no nomination had been regularly made or call issued for the election of a City Justice of the Peace, Tappan's right to the office was denied. He sued the city of Alameda and lost the case on a technicality. In 1891 an amendment was passed by the State Leg- islature raising the minimum of popula- tion of a city in which it was required to have a City Justice of ihe Peace to 15, 000. E. K. Taylor, then City Attorney, was mainly instrumental in securing the { passage of an amendment. Now that Al- | ameda has a population of nearly 18,006 "n is generally conceded that the office of City Justice of the Peace exists and can be legally occupied. ] M. 8.

B.|Vention for City Justice of the Peace Tappan, each claiming to be the | 2Nd Was given a certificate of nomination. In the election call the office of City Jus- tice was omitted and for this reason R. B. Tappan claimed that Taylor could not be the Republican nominee, as there was no such office befére the convention for which a nomination could be made. VOTERS OPPOSE OFFICE. Taylor asserts that while he is practi- cally the Republican nominee, he real- izes that the oversight in the election call may technieally prevent him from having his name go on the ballot as the Republican nominee. He has therefore filed a petition and will appear on the ticket in the Independent column. Tap- pan has done likewise and the campalgn is being waged with vigor. Both candi- dates were opponents in the last munici- pal election for City Recorder, Tappan running as the Republican nominee and Taylor as an independent. Taylor won. Tappan was a delegate to the late State Convention at Sacramento and was one of the firmest supporters of the candi- dacy of Pardee in the entire Alameda County delegation. ‘When the nominations of the ecandi- dates were filed, a protest was lodged with the District Attorney against per- mitting an election for such an office upon the ground that it would add an un- necessary burden to the taxpayers of Alameda. The District Attorney has de- cided that such an office as City Justice of the Peace exists in Alameda and has allowed both nominations to go on’ the official tallot. The one who is elected will have to fight for his office, for the City Trustees do not favor the creation of this place, and the two candidafes are running for an office that the voters of Alameda would abolish if they could.

For the evening's entertainment a very pretty little farce entitled ‘‘Plader,” in | three acts, was given.

E: Hewitt was defeated to- day in Judge Melvin's court in his en- deavor to compel Justice of the Peace Edgar of Berkeley to sign a bill of ex- ceptions prepared by the defense in the appeal of Honorah Bentley, the wealthy Berkeley woman who was fined $50 for violating the sanitary ordinance. Judge Edgar and Attorney Hewitt disagree over certain —exceptions and statements of fact. The case has occupled the attention of the Superior Couprt on three different occasfons. Each time Judge Edgar scored a victory. Mrs. Bentley has already spent much more than the original fine in attorney’s fees. =l fgegint o i Druids’ Memorial Day. Grand Secretary Martinoni of the United Ancient Order of Druids has sent a circular letter to all of the local groves of the order calling attention to the fact that the first meeting night in the month of February in each year has been sel apart as a memorial day, upon which each grove should hold service in mem- ory of those who during the previous twelve months were called from this sphere. - He also states that Noble Grand Arch Guglielmoni requests each of the | groves to send a representative to Druids’ Hall on the 2th inst. for the purpose of making arrangements for a joint memo- rial service in this city. —_————— Ladies Give an “At Home.” A’ number ofgladies who are members of St. Peter’s parish, and friends of Rev.

S —_— e AKLAND, Oct. 11.—Out of the |toed. On the index finger of the left darkness on the estuary shore at the foot of Adeline street early this morning. Juan Fernando, a ‘wood gatherer, heard a woman's voice, moaning in the agony of despair. In the dim light he discovered a weman struggling In the water and hurrled to her rescue with a rope, which he threw within grasp of her hands, but she spurn- ed it and soon sank for the last time. A few minutes later the body was re- covered by some boatmen and taken to the Morgue, where it lay all day without a soul to give it a name. The body was that of a- woman 65 or 70 years of .age and poorly dressed. The face is angular and deep-lined with wrinkles and the hair is scant and gray. She wore a short black cloak, lined with fringe, that cov- ered a white undershirt of cheap ma- terial. The skirt is'a faded .purple, torn and worn.. The stockings are of a gray material; the shoes are heavy and square- hand a plain gold wedding ring fits so tight that it can not be taken off. Around the neck is a scapular, showing that the ‘wearer was a Catholic. | Even in death the woman bore traces of_trouble on her face and the theory is that she purposely sought death in the waters of the estuary as a solace. She must have wandered down Adeline street and-then along the shore until she found a-deep place, where she took the fatal | plunge. Fernando, in quest of wood, hap- penad along just after she had committed the rash act. Fernando says he threw the rope he carried near enough for the woman to catch hold of it, but she refused to help herself. His frantic efforts to assist her attracted some boatmen, but they arrived Just too late to be of any service. ‘Who the woman is, what her connec- tions are, or where she lives, whether in Oakland or elsewhere, no one knows. Many people have looked at the remains but none recognized her. Union Veterans’ Union Adjourns. WASHINGTON, ' Oct. 11L.—The Union Veterans' Union to-day installed com- mander-in-chief R. G. Dyrenforth and the other officers elected vesterday and then adjourned. After being installed, Gen- cral Dyrenforth made a brief address, in which he referred to the scenes of yes- terday. He belleved, he said, that - the dissensions would result in the improve- ment of the order. He said that the trouble was due to the effort to make of the order a political organization, but he contended that the fact that it is not a political order will prove its main source of strength. Resolutions declhring for the organization of the law division of the Pension: Office; for the restoration of the Lallot to the peopfle of tha District of Co- lumbia, denouncing the charges made against General Dyrenforth and their au- thors, and expressing confidence in him were adopted.

Case Before United States In- spectors Comes to An Abrupt End. P S PORTLAND, Or., Oect. 11.—J. F. Sulll- van, C. F. McKenzie and E. B. Huston, recently first, second and third engineers of the steamship George ‘W. Elder, are no longer permitted to act as licensed marine engineers, the loeal inspectors to- day revoking their licenses. e The investigation by the local United States inspectors regardifig the strike on the steamship George W. Elder came to an abrupt end to-day. The sudden ter- mination was caused by the refusal of Third Assistant Engineer Huston to tes- tify as to his reason for leaving the steamer on such short notice. When he was called to the stand, he immediately refused to be sworn. and said that, act- ing on the advice of his attorney, he would decline to answer any questions that were put to him. His aclion left the board with no alternative to revoking his iicense, which it did at once. The case of the other two men was taken under advisement and the testi- mony reviewed at length and late this afternoon the‘inspectors decided to revoke the licenses of both Sullivan and McKen- | zte. The charges brought against the men by the Oregon Raflroad and Navigation Coms pany were based on section 449, Revised Statutes, which forbids the licensed offi- cers to refuse duty to the detriment of commerce without first giving their em- ployes good and sufficient reason for so doing.

OTTAWA, Ont.. Oct. 11.—In regard to Sir Frederick Borden's statement at Bos- ton, it is said here in official circles that, so far the British Government has not stated what it will do toward the estab- Yishment of a fast Atlantic Canadian line. The feeling here is that the new enter- prise will be more of a fast freight than a fast passenger service. This feeling has been greatly strengthemed by the large subsidy given to fhe Cunard line by thé imperial authorities. At any rate, nothing will be done until the return from Europe of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Premier. it Thousands of Austrians Idle. VIENNA, Oct. 11.—Discussing the labor situation in Austria, the Neue Weiner Tageblatt says it is estimated that thera are more than 150,000 persons employed in Austria alone, exclusive of Hungary, in the iron industry, and that this indus- try ls now particularly stagnant.
