MEETING OF POLIICINS ‘Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 2. There was a gathering of Oakland poli- ticians at the residence of Supervisor Jo- seph M. Kelley last night, over which everybody was sworn to secrecy. But somehow these secret meetings always get out and the one in question has proved no exception to the rule. The meeting was called to discuss municipal patronage and to urge upon Mayor Olney and City Engineer Turner, the two Re- publican members of the Board of Pub- lic Works, their duty toward the Repub- lican party. Among those present was quite an ar- ray of those who are already holding of- fice. In addition to Supervisor Jegeph M. Kelley, there were City Councilmen A. H. Elliott, George E. Aitken and Alexander McAdam, Deputy County Clerk George Pierce, Justice of the Peace James Quinn of Oakland Township, Justice of the Peace W. H. Geary of Brooklyn Town- ship, Court Commissioner Clarence Cro- well, Republican City Committeemen Ed Plainer and Ben Johnson, Frank K. Mott, who is just a plain citizen, and a number of others, who are generally counted as “the kindergarten” in Republican poli- tics. The meeting lasted long enough, but nothing particular was accomplished, ex- cept to take a shot or two at City Super- intendent of Streets Ott. Mr. Ott lives in the Fourth Ward. and, while he supported the successful ticket at the last municipal election, he had the misfortune to get in yrong at the primaries during the last county fight. In doing so Ott incurred the opposition of *“‘the kindergarten™ and that little coterie of local peliticians is now out for his scalp.

The Oakland and East Side Railroad, which is the corporate name of the Oak- land terminus of the Santa Fe system, to-day recorded a lot of deeds for more property m the neighborhood of its ter- minus at Emeryyille. The first bundle of deeds includes a lot of property in the town of Emeryville, which will be used for its yards and depot grounds, the con- sideration being $24,735. A second lot of deeds conveys to the same corporaticn A number of lots in the Bryant tract in the same neighborhood, the consideration being $12,000. The Santa Fe system is adding to its holdings in this neighbor- hood constantly. The work of track laying on the con- nection between Oakland and Point Rich- mond is proceeding from both ends and willl be complete within the present month. Maay carloads of rails and ties are arriving at Emeryville for use upon the work at this end. The Western Pacific Construction Com- pany began work in East Oakland to-day on the track laying of the Western Pa- cific Rallroad, the California terminus of the Gould system. As all Oakland fran- chises require that work be commenced in three months the company was com- pelled to lay some track to hold the priv- ileges it secured from this city.

Roehl alleges that Doll repre- sented to him that he was the owner of a patent for a mechanical device used for extinguishing fires of the value of $25,000 and he was looking for a partner with { ana the Jate Commissioner Mendell's es- money to place it on the market. Roehl agreed to become his partner and on June 22 gave him $1%.

H. White, former cashier of the board. White disappeared on July 29 last, be- ing a defaulter in the sum of $5000. Al- though he has been reported to have been seen in several of the leading cities of this country and rumored to be living like a prince in Paris, he has never been apprehended. ‘When White was appointed to the office, he had the recommendations of all the force in the Union Iron Works and was also highly indorsed by Henry T. Scott and the late Irving M. Scott. He gave a bond for only $3000 and as his peculations amounted to $5000 the difference of $3000 will have to be made up by his employ- ers, under section 6, article XVI of the charter, which places the liability for shortage of employes of the city upon the heads of departments in which they are employed. As Commissioners Casey and Manson and the late Colonel Mendell were Com- missioners at that time the responsibility attaches to them, and hence the Mayor has seen fit to call upon them to make good the deficit. ————— Builders’ Contract: Italian-Swiss Colony (owners) with Minne- apolis Steel and Machinery Company (contract. ors), architects Hemmenway & Miller—Steel and cast iron work for buflding on W line of Battery street, 137:6 S of Greenwich, N 137:6 by W 137:6: §20,650.

Mr¢. Baer will avpear under Ler maiden name, Mabel McKinley. She is noted | the country over as a soprano and has | declined hundreds of tempting offers to appear on the concert stage. Mrs. Baer was 4 great favorite of the martyr President and he used to enjoy listening to her sweet voice. - She was | frequently called upon to sing before the visitors at the White House during the lifetime of President McKinley, when she made her home there. Even as a child Mabel McKinley was known as a wonderful singer. Her musi- cal education began when she wus very young and she has been studying under masters ever since. Even at tne present time she devotes several hours each day to her voice culture, and therefore she is in perfect condition to sing at all times. For a long time theatrical managers all | over the country have vainly tried to in- duce Mrs. Baer to go on the stage. She has always refused the offers and it was with the greatest difficulty that the Or- pheum management secured her consent to sing in this city.

Dismissal of Subordinates Occupies Prison-Keeper's Time. Spectal Dispate SAN QUENTID PRISON. July &= Knowing that his term of office is at an end and that he is soon to pass into po- litical oblivion, Warden Martin Aguirre Is now trying to wreak vengeance om other officials and attaches of the penal institution. He has discharged without cause two of the most competent attaches of the prison apd does not deny that others high in position the ‘penitentiary will soon get their walking papers Sam Randolph, assistant to Captain Hunter of the prison yard, and Willlam Beckley, one of the guards, were the first to feel the sting of Aguirre animosity Last night, or in fact the very day that Aguirre’s term expired, he cut those two men off the payroll, and when a cause was asked for he curtly refused to give to The Call. any reason, but informed the men that they were not the only ones to go. It was expected to-day would develop several vacancies, but as yet no more men have been notified of their dismissal From present indications, however, there no doubt that Aguirre’s list is | long and that he has it up his sleeve to let out some more soon. In fact it Is as- serted by those who-are apprehensive of dismissal that Aguirre, through his trusted lieutenants. has for some time been laying traps for various guards at the prison and even others in higher po- sitiofls. When seen to-night Aguirre said: Yes, 1 discharged that fellow Ran- | dolph, and Beckley, too.” “For what cause”™\ was asked him For my own reasons and no one else’s business.” “Do you propose to cut others oft of the payro! Is the sun liable to rise to-morrow?™ was the answer. After strenuous efforts to draw out the Warden on the real cause of dismissal well as by acquainting him with rumors afloat he made the following statement: “I dismissed Randolph and Beckley the good of this institution. They w traitors to me, to my cause, and will be traitors to any one who stcceeds me. I I leave this institution bhe in a better condition in thait when | came here. On of these two. men angd leave the place in such a As to whether as for re every way the dismissal condition as I just stated. others will go, that remains to be seen There is a ring of men here whom I have been friendly with, and who should most cert ly be my friends They have proven themselves otherwise, therefore they must stand the consequences.” Randolph and Beckiey could mot be seen, but from some of their most inti- mate friends it was learned that the only direct cause that they could attrib dismissal was the fact that they had made a bet that Aguirre would fred.
