Fair Club Members Plan to ., Teke Hand in Fresent - Campaign, Special Dispatch t6 The Call. PASADENA, Oct. 17.—The fourth meet- ing of the Los Angeles district of the Cal- ifornta Federated Women's Clubs closed yesterday at the Universalist.church. It was ‘a two-day session and twenty-five clubs were represented. The address of the morning was made by Mrs. Kate A. Bulkley, the Stdte president, whose sub- jeet-was the juvenile court -bill,. The idea | of a juvenile court was first set forth by the club women of - the State and they propose to bring, it to a consummation now that they have interested legislators and others in it. They propose to do con- siderable“lobbying” :in a qulet way. Mrs, Bulkley advised club women to study parllamentary law to aid-them in meeéting with courtesy .and deference the opinions of others in their club work, She then passed on to an explanation of a bill now in form and in the. hands San Francisco attorneys, which ultimately will nia, petitioning for the establishment of a juvenile court such as has been success- { fully operated in New York, Chicago, Buf=| { falo, Washington and ‘Philadelphia. - In this court children are brought to justice and kept apart from adult criminals. A special judge and also a probation officer are appointed. _The prbbation officer is generally a woman. No/child is sentenced for a first offense, but is’' put under the su- pervision of the probation officer and thus is_virtually under the_ eye of the law, | either in his own home or wherever the’ officer shall elect. . The State president sald that circular | letters would be sent to all Californid club { women, setting.forth the entire object of the bill and the reform it would work in the youth and good citizenship of Califor- nia. After the club women were fully ac- | I‘quainted with the value of -the measure | | they were to urge the passage of the bill | | by influencing their husbands and sons | and sweethearts to vote for the legislator | { who would vote for the bill. The club women are unanimously in fa- | vor of the court, and, they say, will inves- | tigate the attitude of candidates for the | | Legislature and see that their voting | friends and relatives line up.

Mr. Kelley said Dr. Pardee never or- dered out a” “‘pick-handle” brigade to sub- due the laboring men, nor did he take harsh measures against the blg agmy of unemployed ‘that encamped in the ity of Oakland when he was Mayor. Kelley stat- ed that the stories-circulated against the Republican candidate for Governor were untrue and .he refuted them in strong terms. In part he said: 1 ‘appear here this evening in behalf of a man who cannot be present himself, and who has been, in my estimation, misrepresented more than any candidate on the ticket. In 1804 Dr. Pardee was Mayor of the city of Oakland. He Has been.accused of pickhandiing more men than ever ilved in the confines of Qakland. He has been accused of turning a fire hose-on the unemployed and doing other things. Being the | commander of ‘that body of men at that time, | having power to move them from place to place, I had the pleasure of coming in contact with 'Dr. Pardee. I must say he ted us Jjustly and kindly. I have volunteered to come here and will try to help him dsfend hinfselt against the attacks made by his opponents. _1 have only met Dr. Pardee once or twice in my life. I believe frankly and honestly that he is just.as good a man as his opponent. He represents principles that to me are a thousand | times better than those his opponent represents. 1 believe it is the duty of the laboring classes to give Dr. Pardee thelr support and elect him Governor. * 1 am convinced that he will make a splendid record In the gubeérnatorial chair, and ahy man who votes. for him will have ng cause fo regret his action. The - meeting - adjourned with che tire ‘Thomas C. Maher spoke briefly as fol- lows: 1 have never met Mr. Andrew, but I have some knowledge of physiognomy. and I have been particularly struck by Mr. Andrew’'s plc- ture. Now, I live out In the warm beit of the Mission and I have heard many say they do not want Mr. Braunhart for Railrcad Commis- sioner, ‘He is not a union man, though he makes particularly strong and black, cigars. I am told that the men of that trade and others will_not vote for Braunhart. ! Now, I euggest that every friend of our can- didate impress it upon their friends that they are to look for the name of the first man, Adam, on the ticket and vote for him—Adam, ‘Adam’ Andrew is the name. Bert Schlesinger was called upon. said: I do not believe a hall could be built large enough to hold the friends of Adam Andrew. As Biblical history teaches us, Adam was o first man. So will we learn that Adam Andrew will be first in the race for Raflroad Commissioner. Adam_ Andrew's past record Is his guarantee of an honest administration of his office. He is a man of wide business ex- perience, who will bring speclal fitness to bear | in the office to which he aspires. 1 will say | to Unlon Labor men that he Is an employer and has been for twenty years, and there is not a man who has ever been in his employ who will vote against him. Fred Albrecht, a union clgarmaker, said he was a Deutscher and a union man, and he wanted to see Adam Andrew elect- ed. The men of his trade knew Braunhart and were against him. Abe Ruef spoke as follows: The whole town is for Andrew. I understand that it is supposed there is & fight om for Railroad Commissioner, but all we need to do to elect the Republican candidate ls to go into our varlous districts and ask our friends 1o vote for him, and then into other districts and ask our frisnds there to work and vote for him. Frank Jordan, candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court, sald: 1 understand we are here to participate in a ratification meeting over the election of Adam Andrew as Rallroad Comnmiissioner. This is logically a Republican year. and there should be no question whatever of the election of such | a candidate as our friend Andrew. Mr. Andrew was called upon and was warmly cheered. He said: Mr. Chairman and Friends: You should not ask me to make a speech. ' You might as well ask me to gild a twenty-dollar piece as to maks a speech after what has been said to-night. I had not expected such a meeting and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am much like a passenger on one of our street cars who must ask for a transfer when he pays his fare. 1 am not going to wait till I come to the transfer point, on election day, but will ask you now for your votes-and your support. and ‘when -the. tim I/assure you I will Teciprocate the fa . 3 Comes to Aid Kahn and Loud.

For nearly an hour Mr. Livernash held his audience and, at the conclusion of his re- marks he was the reciplent of a long round ‘of applause. Among the speakers were Judges Trask and Farnsworth, nom- inees . for .Associate Justices of the Su- preme Cou Livingston Jenks, W. T. Baggett, - W. H.' Alford, W. C.

An’ enthusiastic’' Democratic rally was held- Jast night-in a hall at the corner of Octavia: and Union streets. The meeting was addressed by Willlam Alford, nomi- nee for the Board of Equalization; Eugene . -Sullivan, and W.. H: Kent, candidates for Justices of the Peace; Samuel Braun- hart, Willam P. Delaney, Union Labor and Democratic nominee for the Assem- bly in the Forty-first District; Livingston Jenks, candidate for Superior Judge, and Edward J.'

Spectal Dispatch to The Call HANFORD, Oct. 17.—As the result of a wreck on the Southern Pacific last nighg efght miles east of Hanford at least five ! men are dead and eighteen oil cars are | piled up In a shapeless mass. The train was composed 0f twenty oil cars ‘and a caboose in charge of Conductor Hutch- ins, with Peter Murray as engineer. The cause of the disaster was a broken rall. Engineer Murray saw the broken rail Jjust- before the engine ran upon it. The engine and first four cars passed over, with the exception of one car, which left the rails but did not turn over. Of the other cars fourteen are piled in a mass alongside the track. Some of the 13,000-gal- lon steel tanks, together with the trucks, were hurled twenty feet from the track and other portions of theears and tanks He seventy-five yards away. There is a lake of ofl on either side of the track. The five men killed in the wreck were tramps who were ‘stealing a ride. One of .the victims was John Hilbert, who, | with both legs cut off, crawled from be- neath the debris through oll two_ feet deep. He was immediately placed aboard the engine and brought to Hanford, but died shortly after being put on the ope- rating table. Hilbert sald that seven or eight men had been stealing a ride on the train. Pinned beneath the ends of two of the big oil tank cars were found the bodies of three men. A short distance ahead there lles beneath the wreckage a roll of blankets containing a crushed mass of | humanity—whether one body or more can- not yet be told. Besides the known vic- tims, the brakeman says that early this morning he heard groans coming from under the wreck near the caboose, but in a short time all was silent. It is sup- | posed that a man was fastened under the wreck and that he was drowned in the | off~which stood two feet deep. The wrecking crew was at work all day, but has not rgcovered all the bodles, and until the debris is entirely cleared away it will not be known to a certainty how many unfortunates lost their lives. None of the train crew were hurt ex- cept Conductor Hutchind, w sustained a-slight injury. Coroner Thomas this afternoon sum- moned a jury and an inquest will be held to-meorrow. Traffic on this division was opped all day on account of the wreck, which will not be cleared away before to- morrow. @ eieininimileieieinin i il @ Congressman Littlefleld displayed very little knowledge of economics when he as- serted in his speech at Mechanics' Pavil- ion that Jabor depended on capital. Alford stated that all the capital that existed in the world might be swept away in a single day and that intelligent labor would up- build it again out of the resources of the | earth almost as quickly as did Aladdin erect his wonderful palace. Edward J. Livernash made a very brief speech and devoted his time to consider- ing the trust issues. All the candidates were well received. Willlam Delaney, who is a member of the Machinists” Unlcn, was greeted with cheers when he concluded his speech. CREDITS THE RAIN AND SUN. | Thomas J. Geary Denies Republicans Brought About Prosperity. | OAKLAND, Oct. 17.~Thomas J. Geary | was the speaker of the evening to-night | at the Exposition bufld'ng, where 400 Democrats met to listen to expositions of Democratic doctrine and eulogy of the | Lominees of the Democratic ticket. Mr. | Seary was introduced by Samuel Bell Me- | Kee, acting as chairman of the meeting. | " Speaking of the prosperity that the Re- publican party is referring to, Mr. Geary denied that the Republicans are respon- sible for it and attributed it to the sun- shine and rains that have been showered Gown from above. He declared that the hard times of 1893-94 were due, not to the presence of the Democratic President and Congress then in power, but to the Me- Kinley tariff, which was not modifled un- il late in the year 18%. Fe pleaded that the Democratic party does not want free trade, but reform of the tariff that would abolish economic wrongs. “They talk about protecting labor,” he sald. “Labor has never been protected watil now. It is getting protection be- cause it is organizing. If it was not for organization labor would be the slave of capital.” Isadore B. Dockweiler, candidate for Lieutenant Governor; H. W. Anderson, candidate for the Assembly; Calvin B. White, candidate for Congress, and Wil- Liam A. Getts, candidate for Attorney General, all joined in the speech making. ——— | | | | | 1 | DR. ‘PIERCE'S REMZIDIES. ahg oid f)nfi‘tnotw‘mm' weak and ecble.
