ALL HEADQUARTERS. SAC- RAMENTO, Jan. 5.—Governor Gage this afternoon announced another batch of eleventh-hour appointments. It included the following to be directors of the State Board of Agriculture: L. J. Rose Jr.’of Oxnard, vice L. Harris, ro- | signed; William Land of Sacramento, vice Park Henshaw, term expired; James ‘Whittaker of Galt, vice A. W. Barrett, term expired; Thomas Fox of Sacramento, | vice Frederick Cox, term expired. i The appointments are regarded as strict. 1y in line with the determination of Gov- | ernor .Gage to secure for Grove L. John- | son of Sacramento the appointment as secretary of the board to succeed the self a director of the Board of Agrl- | culture and he fs a member of the present | Assembly from a BSacramento district. He has been a faithful follower of Gage, ! both in' the Teglslature and elsewhere, and it has been written' that he shall re- ceive his reward in the shape of the cov- eted secretaryship at a salary of $200 per month. It is not known that Johnson could distinguish a Holstein bull from a thoroughbred \Angora goat, his talents running to the law. But ‘his praise has lang resounded in behalf of Gage and the retiring executive is bound {hat he shall not be charged with ingratitude to his followers o long as any vacancies re. maln to be filled in the few hours that —— are left of his official career. It has been a matter of streét talk for days that the appointments have been peddled about both here and in S8an Fran- cisco, the only condition exacted being a promise that the appointee should vote | for Grove L. Johnson for secretary. A | San Francisco hotel man, who was here as a pallbearer at a friend's funeral, was tendered the honor, but balked at the hard conditions imposed. A prominent San Francisco real estate man i another who could not accept the gift with the string attached to it. It is even said that one of the directors whose places have | been filled was told, as far back as a week ago last Sunday. that he could secure the reappointment if he would promise to cast his vote for Johnson for secretary, but he sald he could not do 8o in good conscience, and he was guillotined. Johnson himself has publicly announced his ambition to become secretary of the board. There are several other candi- dates, but in view of Gage's appoint- ments they are not regarded as having & shadow of a chance. ‘Willlam Land, another of the new di- rectors, is the proprietor of the Western Hotel and an ex-Mayor. He served one term on the board, under Governor Budd. He has said that during his last.unsuc- cessful campaign for Mayor against George H. Ciark, Johnson made so many speeches in his favor, for which he charged nothing, that he is naturally grateful to him and will vote for him for secretary. The politicians say with reference to Whittaker and Rose that they doubtless are for Johnson, as Gage would not have appointed them had they not accepted his candidate. It appears that all will not be smooth salling for a realization of Johnson's hopes. The constitution of the State Ag- ricultural Society provides that the secre- tary must be chosen from outside the board membership. This means that Johnson will have to resign before he can be considered a candidate. Several of the old members are known to be unfavor- able to his candidacy and there Is no as- surance that the man Governor Pardee will name will vote for him. The board is expected to meet in February to select a new secretary, although the meeting is subject to the call of the president. Harry Louden, an accomplished horseman, is the acting secretary. The board, as reconstructed by Governor Gage, is as follows: A. B. Spreckels of 8an Francisco, F. W. Covey of Palo Alto, Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento, M. D. Chamberlain of Woodland, J. E. Terry of Sacramento, Benjamin Rush of Suisun, John Mackey, C. W. Pame, Thomas Fox and Willlam Land of Sacramento, L. J. Rose Jr. of Oxnard and James Whittaker of Galt. 3 It is said that Harris' resignation is due to the fact that he lived so far away (at Los Alamos) that it took him a day and a half to get to Sacramento and he could not spare the time and attendant expense The directors serve without pay. .WM%MW%WWW. EALDUSY LEADS T0 A SHOOTING J. Marion Brittain Is Fatally Wounded at Los Angeles. . 108 ANELES, Jan. 5.—J. Marion Brit- tain was shot and fatally wounded this morning by I B. Truesdell. Jealousy over Mrs. F. M. Ross, the landlady of the Louse at which they both occupied rooms, is reported as the motive for the attempt- ed murder. Both are about 21 years of age. This morning Brittain went to work as usual, but returned to the house a few minutes before 9 o'clock. Going to Mrs. Ross' room he found it unoccupied, and at once went upstairs to the room occu- pied by Truesdell. Opening the door he went inside. Truesdell was in bed. Go- ing to the closet he opened the door and Mrs. Ross was found inside. He selzed her by the halr and dragged her out, at the same time striking her on the face. Truesdell went to the woman's assist- ance, when, he says, Brittain struck at him. Truesdell then secured his revolver and fired at short range, the bullet strik- ing Brittain full in the breast just over the heart and penetrated the cavity. Mrs. Ross, the alleged cause of the trouble, came to Los Angeles about two months ago from Houston, Tex. Brittain, who also came from Houston, figured in that city as co-respondent in a suit for di- vorce instituted by J. W, Ross, husband of the landlady. Ross attempted to kill Erittain on the street in Houston. Trues- dell came from North Carolina. CITY TO DEAL IN COAL Detroit Will Sell Fuel to the Poor at Cost Prices. DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 5.—The city of Detroit is going into the coal business and will supply the people with coal at cost prices.
