It was learned | to-day that on three occasions within the | last two weeks obstructions have been | placed on the tracks and serious acci- | dents were averted through the watch- | fulness of the track walker. The up-| country Cazadero passenger train yester- v morning struck a large steel “‘draw- * securely placed upon the rails. Engjneer Cannady did not see the ob- struction in time to bring the train to a full stop, and before he fully realized the danger the forward trucks of the loco- motive had passed over the steel barrier | and jumped the track. The air brakes, however, prevented the train of six cars, | loaded with passengers, from going over | an embankment and into the river bed. The last two attempts at derailment were made upon curves, near Camp Pis- tolesi, a summer resort near Tamales, about fifty-four miles north of San Fran- cisco. . Some time ago a track walker discov- ered a plece of cordwood on the ralls, but removed it. He paid but little attention | to the matter, thinking the log had been jblted off one of the engines. On July 2, While examining the roadbed to the north | of Camp Pistolesi, he found a plece of | steel rail welghing fifty pounds lying alongside of the rails. It was fastened to the rail with heavy copper wire and made 2 most dangerous obstruction. Upon ex- amining the steel he discovered a deep indentation where car wheels had passed over it. One end of the steel had broken loose. It is believed that when the en- gine truck struck it one side of the fas- tenings gave way and thus saved the train from being derailed. This attempt to wreck the train was reported to the ralroad officials, Later a report was re- ceived that a down-country freight had passed over an obstruction on the night of July 1. The locomotive was a heavy 5 AYS HE WILL REPAIR METROPOLITAN TEMPLE J. B. Lankershim Warns Works Board That It Has No Power to Stop Him. The Commissioners of the Board of Public Works are very much worried over communications they have received from Lawyer 1. 1 Brown, attorney for J. B. Lankershim, owner of Metropolitan Tem- ple,.which was partly destroyed by fire a month ago. They are averse to allowing the owner to repalr the building and the attorney claims that they have no right to prevent his client from doing so. Brown has notified the members of the board that they and their bondsmen are likely to suffer through their action, as he intends taking the matter to court if they persist In withholding the necessary permission. The Commissioners evidently fear that the building will be again used for theat- rical purposes. Mr. Lankershim has been advised by his counsel that the Commis- sioners have no right to jump at con- clusions. He has been informed that the repairing of the building and its future use are distinct questions and that the latter point is not to be considered at this time. Mr. Lankershim hurried from Europe in order to look after his property. Through his attorney he has filed drawings and specifications with the board, showing what repairs are to be made. He asserts that only 20 per cent of the building was damaged and under the ordinance he has a right to repair the same. —_—— Kirk’s Estate in Court. Joseph Kirk, son of Michael Kirk, who was killed in the wreck on the North Shore Railroad last month, filed a peti- tion for letters of administration upon the estate of the deceased vesterday. He states that his father’s estate consists of $1767 57 in cash, personal propery worth $600 and 237 acres of land near Tomales worth $12,000. Kirk died intestate | where the attempt was made July | the train proceeded to Cazadero without e e e e ] one and the engineer did not particularly | notice the jars DRAWHEAD FOUND ON TRACK. General Manager Rank immediately de- tailed detectives upon the case. While the sleuths were at work a larger and more dangerous obstruction was placed upon the track within a short distance of 2. An fron drawhead about three feet long, s inches in thickness and weighing 1 pounds, was found fastened to the outside rail on a curve. If a train was running fast and struck the obstruction it would not only have caused the engine to topple over, but un- doubtedly have caused the cars to leave OBSTRUCTIONS PLACED BY TRAIN WRECKERS ON THE .J NORTH SHORE TRACK. | | -ii — were known he admitted that several at- tempts had been made to wreck trains.

GOVERNING BODY IN LABOR PARTY Official Opinion Sustains| the Casey County | Committee. | Schmitz-Parry Forces Turned | Down by the Acting City Attorney. —_— | G. W. Lane, acting City Attorney in the absence of Franklin K. Lane, advises the Board of the Harders-Berger committee of the Union Labor party is entitled ‘o recogni- tion as the governing body of that party. This decision is a straw in favor of: the Union Labor faction headed by Michael Casey. The rival organization —the | Ewell-Aubertine faction—is supposed to | represent the supporters of Ma: Schmitz and Fire Commissioner Parry. Following is the text of the opinion rendered to the Election Commissioners by the acting City Attorney: 1 N CISCO, July 10, 1903. Gentlemen—1 have your communication of recent date, in which you request an opinic as to which of two petitions you should rec nize as coming from the Union Labbr party. Both petitions purport to come from the Union Labor party and request that a place be given to 1t upon the official primary election ballot {0 be used in the primary elcticn in San Fra; claco, August 11, 1903. One of the petitions signed by A. H. Ewell as chairman and Geor ¥ Aubertine as secretary of the County Com- | mittce, such committee being the governing body of said political party in said city and county of San Francisco; the other petition is signed by August Harders as chairman and George J. Berger as secretary of a committee | of like name. | There is apparently no question as ta the right of the Union Labor party to a place upor | the primary tion ballot. The only question | is which committee legally that | | party. | From your communication to me it appears that the Ewell-Aubertine committee claims to be the governing committee solely by virtue of | the fact that it was so designated in a certain petition filed in_your office on October 5, 1901, under section 1188 of the Political Code. The petition last named was one purporting to be | signed by at least 3 per cent of the entire vote | cast at the last election preceding its date and Tequesting that certain candidates therein named should be placed upon the official ballot at the election to be held in November, 1901. | The petition further designated twenty-five per- sons to constitute a governing committee. All of these matters are required by section 1188 of the Political Code. Tre Harders-Berger committee claims right | to represent the party locally by virtue of ap- {'pointment by the Union Labor party conven- | tion held at ‘San Francisco in September, 1902, | | and the fact of such appointment seems to be onceded. The code section above mentioned which pro- { vides for the creation of the first governing | committee by petition does not name any pe- riod of time whatever during which the com- | mittee may exist. It must be conceded, I | think, that the governing committee selected in a petition of a party theretofore unorganized is essentlally but a temporary body, and that if | thereafter the party becomes duly organize: and a local convention thereafter selects a county committee, the latter committee takes the place of the committee sslected by the peti- fon. | Two questions therefore arise: (1) Whethe | the Ewell-Aubertine committee was selecte | by convention? (2) Was the convention which | admittedly selected the Harders-Berger com- | mittee a local convention? As heretofore Sntmhnteation es tHat 2 ne committee only claims by virtue of its designation fin a { petition which first placed the Union Labor nominees upon the official ballot. This pre- | cludes the idea of their selection by any con- vention. The records of your office confirm this statement, as well as all the documents filed by the Union Labor party. In the peti- tion of three per cent of the electors, hereto- fore referred to and which may be said to have_inaugurated the Union Labor party in | San Francisco, both Ewell and Aubertine were signers. That petition makes no mention what- represents ADVERTISEMENTS. | 1 1 | | | The Picture shows the WAIST AND OUTIKG SKIRT that's 0¥ 95 SALE TO-DAY at c skirt made of heavy linen crash, with fashionable circular flounce, trimmed with numerous rows of tailor stitchinz.

What sound judgment and years of practical experience can accomplish was never better exemplified than has been done by Mr. Joseph A. Leonard, the well known architect and builder, who as manager of the San Francisco and Sub- urban . Home Building Society has just announced a dividend of 12 per cent on its first year's business. As one result of twenty years of expe- rience in the building business, latterly in lameda County, where he erected and sold homes to the value of over three- quarters of a million dollars, Mr. Leon- ard conceived the idea that the interest of both investor and homeseeker would be best served by combining a money- loaning business with that of all branches of actual homebuilding. A great saving resulting from centralizing in one company ail the service, instead of scat- tering profits and commissions among many. With sufficient capital to prove his theory of concentration, the above company was formed, and a 12 per cent dividend was brought about by the so- clety becoming its own banker, or money lending econcern, supplying the lot, the legal work, the architecture, the buliding, the fire insurance and, finally, securing at minimum rates the best form of life insurance, in order to protect both the home buyer and itself, so that the profits hitherto divided among many have accum- ulated by this one concern and made pos- sible larger profits to the investor, al- though the house cost the homeseeker less than obtainable elsewhere. Mr. Leonard expresses confidence in the society’s ability, through the readjus ment of homebuilding methods and concentration of all the branches connect- ed therewith, to keep up the payment of large dividends. These methods are open to the closest investigation at its offices in the Mutual Savings Bank building by those desiring investments' or those de- siring the best and most equitable terms on homes. o ——e e Death of an Army Veteran.

It may be and I am informed, it is a fact that a public assemblage gathered in which these nominees were in some manner agreed upon, as well as the names of the committee, but there never was any legal convention of an organized poll. tical body by that or any similar name till after the date of said petition. This fact is recognized in the petition itself, which al- though filed long after this public assemblage, made no claim whatsoever that any conven- tion had ever been held by the Union Labor Tha, petition proceeds upon the theory party. the ballot not by reason of any political con- vention, but by reason of selection by at least three per cent of the vote cast at the last preceding election, which, indeed, was a fact It is clear, therefore, that those who presented or filed said petition did not consider that a convention had ever been held. In fact, if held then there would have been no need of a petition. The petition is only presented under the terms of section 1188 of the Poutical Code, which is a section providing for ‘‘nominations otherwise than by convention.” It would be absurd in the face of these facts to claim that up to that time, viz.: October, 1901, there had been any legal convention which designated these gentlemen as members of a committee of any character. 2. Section 1186 of the Political Code provides that with certain exceptions not here involved & county committee selected by a_convention continues as such for two years. So far as I am advised there is no legal record of any convention of the Union Labor party until September, 1902. It is not claimed that the Ewell-Aubertine committee was selected by the convention of 1902, but it is conceded that the Harders-Berger committee was selected by that convention. It only remains. therefore, to determine whether the convention of 1902 was a local convention of the Union Labor party. This inquiry is also answered by the uncontested documents of the Union Labor party itself on file in your office. What is a local convention for purposes of primary election law is defined in section 1358 of the Political Code In the following lan- guage: ‘‘Conventions to nominate candidates for county or city and county offices, Judges of the Superior Court or Justices of the Peace in any city and county and members of the nate and Assembly representing districts holly within one county or city and county, Supervisors and all township officers, will be hereinafter in this chapter designated as local conventions.”” The convention of the Union Labor party In 1802 admittedly was for the purpose of “nominating many of the officers just recited, and the certificate of nomination filed by the Union Labor party in the office of the Registrar September 30, 1902, specifically enumerates them. Furthermore, It & recited in the certificate last mentioned that the as- semblage which nominated such officers was “the Unlon Labor party local convention for said_city and county of San Francisco, State of California,” and the petition of the Union Labor party filed in the Registrar's offi 30, 1902, requesting a place upon the pr election ballot for the primary election Au- gust, 1902, recites in five different places that the convention to be held and for which they desired representation upon the primary ballot was a “local convention.” This was the con- venticn which selected Harders-Berger committee. It appears to me, therefore, upon the facts presented, that the first governing committee was_a, temporary one, whose existence ex- pired upon the appointment of a committee by the local convention of the Union Labor party. and that the only designation of a committee by the Union Labor party convention was the designation of the committee hereinbefore re- San Francisco,Cal.,July 8, 1903. — By instructions of the Board of Underwriters, we are selling at owr store, Market and Tenth streets, recently damaged by fire, our the e o e M RGE W, LANE. | entire stock of robes and First Assistant City Attorney. b[arvkets damaged by water B ity ramars sl : REUBEN H.
