DEEP WATER. - THE SA ERANCISCO ROGERS REGAINS WHAT HE L0ST Figures Show Contest- ant Fails to Maintain Percentage, To Defeat Bishop He Must Increase His Ratio of Gains, R Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 18. Eight precincts were counted in the shrievalty contest to-day and Rogers gained sixteen votes—getting back the lead that he lost in yesterday’s recount. Rogers is gaining very slowly, so slowly in fact that unless his ratio of gain in- creases he cannot defeat Bishop. Up to yesterday, when he was just 38 in the lead | in the recount, his percentage of loss in | thirty precincts had been 2460 in every | 100 votes counted, while Bishop’s had only been 23.87 for every 100. This is making a wide allowance in Rogers' behalf, for the | recount shows that the loss is always | greatest to the candidate having the most votes and in the thirty precincts counted twenty gave majorities in favor of Bishop | and ten in favor of Rogers. In the recount of the First Precinct, Fourth Ward, to-day Rogers was reduced from 34 to 2¢ and Bishop from 60 to 47; in the Eighth Precinct. Fourth Ward, | Rogars was reduced from 69 to 59 and | Bishop from 93 to 80; in the Ninth Pre- cinct, Seventh Ward, Rogers was reduced from 61 to 54 and Bishop from 68 to 63; in Emeryville Precinct No. 3 Rogers was re- duced from 54 to 42 and Bishop from 44 to 32; in the Tenth Precinct, Sixth Ward, Rogers was reduced from 102 to 80 and Bishop from 9 to 76; in the First Pre- cinet, Third Ward, Rogers was reduced from 50 to 40 and Bishop from 109 to 88; in Berkeley Precinct No. 8 Rogers was re- duced from 32 to 18 and Bishop from 28 to 21; in Berkeley Precinct No. 2 Rogers was reduced from 64 to 56 and Bishop from 88 to 79. The recapituation of these gains and losses leaves Rogers a net gain of 16, which, added to his net gain of 38 yester- day, gives a lead of 54 votes out of thirty- four precincts recounted SUIT BROUGHT TO TEST VALIDITY OF LICENSE LAW Town of Kern Proceeds Against Lo- cal Representatives of San Francisco Breweries. | BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 18.—A suit has| been brought in the Recorder’s court by | the town of Kern against the local repre- | sentatives of the San Franctsco Breweries | to compel the payment of license taxes. A town ordinance imposes a license tax of $10 per quarter and the local agents of the | Breweries have refused to pay on the | ground that the right to impose such | taxes belongs only to cities above the | fifth class.
