V. Miller Says He Is a Kidnaper. Accuses Him Stealing Their Daughter Margaret, Aged Six. A telegram from Helper, Utah, inter- rupted guardianship proceedings before Judge Murasky, sitting for Judge Troutt | yesterday, and caused a postponement of | & week of the hearing of the petition of J. V. Miller to be appointed guardian of the person and estate of his six-year-old daughter, Margaret, The telegram was from La ler, mother of the little girl afd Miller's divorced wife. It was addressed to the clerk of the court and requested a post- ponement of the hearing until such time as she could appear and contest Miller's petition. She accused him of kidnaping the little one. It seems that the Millers formerly re- sided in this city. Little more than two years ago Mrs. Miller went to Utah and obtained a divorce. She was awarded the custody of their one child. Several months after obtaining the decree she married again and a few weeks ago ‘came a F. Mil- to this citv on a visit, bringing the child with her. BShe secured rooms with a family at North Beach. The father learned of her presence here and determined to secure custody of the child and commenced guardianship proceed- ings. The people with whom the former Mrs. Miller was staying were served with the papers and when she came to take the child home to Utah they refused to| give her up, fearing the law. The mother went home to Utah without the child and Miller reckoned on getting the custody without further trouble. That he will have trouble is evidenced by yesterday's telegram and the announcement that his former wife is prepared to return to this city and give him a contest for the little girl. ————— Albertus Atkins Becomes a Benedict. Yesterday afternoon, at the residence ot the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Hall, 306 Noe street, Mr. Albertus Atkins of the Examiner was married to Mrs. Anna D. Sangster. The wedding was a quiet one, only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties being present. Mr. Atkins has been for eighteen years a valued employe of the Examiner in its advertising department, and & grea measure of the popularity of its classifie ad pages has been brought about by his genial personality and persistent effort. The manager of the Examiner and the business office staff sent a very elaborate wedding gift as a imonial of the high Atkins is held by them. Mr. and Mrs. Atkins left for the south last evening for an extended honeymoon trip, e Janitor and Fireman Wanted.

Aoy ey T Martin Kelly went down to defeat yes- terday in Judge Murasky's court when a decision was handed own in the case of N. C. Coghlan, chairman of the so-called Regular Republican organization, against the Election Commissioners was decided. The court decided that Coghlan was not entitled to a writ of mandate compell- ing the Board of Blection Commissioners to grant his petition to place on the ticket to be used at the coming primary, election the names of prospective dele-' gates selected by the petitioner as head of the Martin Kelly faction of the Re- publican party. The suit was opposed by the United Re- publican League, the heads of which are Abe Ruef and Tom Riordan, and under the decision of Murasky their petition for a place on the ballot for delegates of their choice as the Regular Republican party which was granted by the Com- missioners is the only Republican pri- mary ticket. Judge Murasky finds that the Legisla- ture evidently intended by the primary law to create a system by which the in- terests of political organizations might be conserved. He finds that the law as it stands provides that no names of candi- dates shall be placed upon a general elec- tion ticket except those of persons who have been nominated by the convention of a party which at the least preceding general election polled at least 3 per cent of the total vote cast, or whose names have been presented to the Election Com- missioners in a petition slgned by voters equal in number to 3 per cent of the total vote polled at such election. The conse- quence of these provisions, says the court, | is that even if the petition of the organi- zatlon represented by the petitioner were to be granted a place upon the primary ballot it would receive no benefit, not be- ing a party which had received any votes the last election. It would therefore be pelled, notwithstanding that it had held a convention, to present a petition containing names of its nominees to the Commissioners in order that they might be placed upon the ballot. The decision means that representation on a primary election ballot cannot under the law be given to a party, or section of a party, which does not date its exist- ence from a preceding election and aid not at such election receive 3 per cent of vote cast at such election, or which does not show, by petition, that such representation is desired by 3 per cent of the voters at such electfon. —_———— Grand Juror Makes Good Excuse. The citation directing Alphonse Hirsch, a member of the Grand Jury, to appear before Judge Murasky and show cause why he should not be punished for con- | tempt of court for failing to attend seve eral meetings of the Grand Jury, was dis- charged yesterday, Hirsch having rfur- nished proof that his absence was un- avoidable.

PACIFIC COAST DEPARTMENT, %4928 California Street. CGESAR BERTHEAU, Manager ‘ALFRED R. GRIM, Assistant Manager. MARTIN RASCHEN and GUS MESSINGER, City Agents. Ruling by Supenor Judge cal Cases. AYOR BCHMITZ'S faction of the Union Labor party and Martin Kelly’s contingent of the Republican forces were losers in the ‘Superior Court Michael Casey's followers in the Labor camp tested the de- lights of ‘government by injunction’ by protesting to the courts against the action of the Board of Election Commis- sloners in recognizing the Aubertine- Ewell-Schmitz county committee as the governing body of the Union Labor party. The controversy will go to the Supreme Court, on appeal and a decision may be reached before the primary election. De- lay in “handing down” a ruling will op- erate in favor of the Schmitz forces, as the apportionment designated by the Aubertine-Ewell county committee was officially recognized by the Election Com- missioners in face of advice from the act- ing City *Attorney against such recogni- tion. The decision of the courts, however, will not settie the question of supremacy in the Union Labor party. The battle for the control of the convention will be fought at the primary election. In order that each factlon may vote for an equal number of delegates in the respective As- sembly districts the question of appor- tionment should be adjusted at once. It is not improbable that Eugene E. Schmitz and Michael Casey may be induced to ad- just the differences by arbitration. The *Superior Court, as expected, promptly recognized the Republican Coun- ty Committee of which Thomas D. Rior- dan is chairman and Clifford McClellan secretary as the governing body of the Republican party of San Franoisco. The apportionment made by this committee was fair and equitable, the representation being based, as the requires, on the party vote cast at the “last preceding election.” Of course, it happens now that the dis- tricts which voted largely in favor of Franklin K. Lane for Governor in 1902 will not have very large representation in the Republican municipal convention of 1503. yesterday. Martin Kelly raised the point that the Republican convention of 1902 refused to create a new county committee or to pro- long the life of the exlsting one. The con- clusion was drawn that no governing body existed. The Election Commission- ers were asked to fix a flat representation of twenty-five delegates for each district. The request was denled. The court sus- taing the commission in its denlal. Kelly and his followers, however, can make their fight for recognition at the primary election on August 1L In the Democratic party the apportion- ment designated by the regular county committee, of which Jasper McDonald is chairman and Gavin McNab “the power behind the throne,” seems to afford gen- eral satisfaction. All signs point to a hot mix-up at the primary election for future control of the Democratic works. The Regulars and the Horse and Carters are so busy In the enrollment of voters that they have no time to interfere in the con- cerns of the Republican party. Prospects of Republican success at the ensuing municipal election are dally growing brighter. Clubs are manifesting activity in the work of enrollment. The duty of nominating men to sexve as delegates to the convention is at hand. A convention composed of representative, tax-paying citizens and chosen at the primary elec- tion under the auspices of the Republican party ought to be able to put forward the winning ticket. A meeting of Democrats under the aus- pices of the County Committee of the party will be held In the Thirty-fourth Assembly District at the corner of Twen- ty-fourth and Church streets this even- ing. The regularity of the proceedings is attested by the fact that J. J. Sullivan calls the meeting. B i s Rousing Meeting Held. The capacity of the hall at 870 Folsom street was all that limited the attendance at the meeting of the United Republican Club of the Twenty-ninth Assembly Dis- trict last night. Stirring speeches were made by Marc Anthony, Willlam Koehler, Supervisor Alpers, Leon Samuels, BEd- ward Curran, J. Golden, Jeremiah T. Col- lins and others. J. F. McQueeney, the president of the club, presided and D. J. Crane acted as secretary. As an execu- tive committee there was appointed J. B. McNamara, M. Harris, Ed Curran, Ed Courtney, W. Rhys, . 8. Havens, George ‘Weisgerber, J. Devoto, R. Cox, H. Ja- cobs, W. Brandon, J. Nelson, W. Dasha, H. Jones, J. McAleer, E. Smith, J. Hughes and W. Cannon. The Twenty- ninth is probably the best organized dis- trict in this city, as all the factions have got together and are represented in the United Republican Club. — Delegates Nominated. The Regular Democratic Club of the Thirtieth Assembly District met last night at Teutonia Hall. The following were named as the club's candidates for delegat: John ¥, Renault, Thomas W. Hickey, Major E. P. Enright, John J, Tomalty, Dr. Alfred Eichler, Eugene Fitzgerald, Denis J. Oliver, Timothy Sullivan, Hugh McLaughlin, John P.

Gibso James H, Kennedy, Florence Driscoll, McKewen, uwnd George Edw: Kelly, Patrick Madden and o \ Democratic Meetings. The Democrats of the Forty-fifth As- sembly District met last evening at 1505 Stockton street. A permanent organiza- tion was effected and the following of- ficers were elected: Willam . Antonovich, president; F. Wil. son, first vice pmumt den, second vice president; J. H, Tracey, (hird vide presi- dent; A. mu--n “secretary; G. Bacigalupi, treasurer; Mr, Forno, sergeant at arms, The club is out for Franklin K. Lane for Mayor. A Democratic League meeting of the Forty-fifth Assembly District was held at ‘Washington Square Hall, corner Stockton and Unlon streets, last evening and the following officers were elected: John Fay, president; Willlam Coughlin, vice presi- dent; Macy Thomas, secretary. —————— Investigating a Japanese. H. Mida, a Japanese, is in “the ‘tanks” at the City Prison pending an investiga- tion. He was found on the Pacific Mail dock on Wednesday night in a nude con- dition. Yesterday, when questioned by the Japanese interpreter, he sald he in- tended swimming out to the steamer Nippon Maru, as he wanted to return to Japan. It is thought that he is not in his right mind and may have to be sent before the Insanity Commissioners for ex- amination. ———————— Japanese Runs Amuck. J. Tuchamate, a Japanese agent, was arrested on Wednesday for malicious mis- chief for breaking furniture at a lodging- house on Jessle street, and yesterday morning he went to the house, seized a meat cleaver and chased the occupants out. He made a slash at the head of Kamal Tsugli, a woman, and she went to the Hall of Justice and swore out a warrant for his arrest on a charge of as- seult with a deadly weapon. He was ar- rested later, ! HARDERS-BERGE FACTION ON TOP Murasky Declares It Has a Right to Place on Ticket. Says Ewéll-Aubertine Faction Does Not Represent Labor Party. PN August Harders and Samuel Berger, respectively chalrman and secretary of the governing committee of the Union Labor party, have established in the courts their right to a place on the ticket ‘at the coming primary, notwithstanding that the Board of Election Commissioners decided that the Ewell-Aubertine faction had first call on the place. Judge Mur- asky decided yesterday that their com- mittee was the bona fide governing body of the Union Labor party, selected in 1%01, and continued, in power up to the present. In accordance with the decision the court ordered that a writ of mandate issue, directing the Commissioners to grant the petition of Harders and Berger for the placing upon the primary ballot of the names of the delegates to be elected to the Union Labor party convention for the nomination of candidates for muni- cipal offices. Murasky's opinion {s a short one and deals principally with the queation of whether mandamus would lie in the case at bar and whether the board has the right to use its discretion in dealing with petitions. He holds that mandamus lies in such a case, and that the Commissioners went beyond their power, in view of the facts shown, in granting the petition of Ewell and Aubertine. The court’s opinion is as follows: GAVE PLACE TO PARTY. It is clalmed by respondents that they have already done those things which by law they are required, and by the petition for this writ of mandate they are requested, to do, namely, that they have given a place to the name “‘Union Labor party'’ upon the primary ballot, and that they have received a petition, pur- porting to be presented on behalf of the party by Its duly constituted authorities, apportioning the delegates to the coming local convention. The law does not requiresthe board to ap- portion delegates unless the petition presented to it fails to make arf apportionment; and it is contended that the Commissioners have no action to take in respect to the apportionment of delegates. But under the provisions of the statute no conventlon is a legal conventlod un- less it be organized in conformity with the law; and to be a legal convention it is pre- scribed, among other things, that it shall pro- ceed from a primary election of the party, at which its name appeared upon the ballot conse- quent upon a petition presented by the party and apportioning delegates. It becomes impor- tant and necessary, then, to determine which of several vetitions' contains the apportionment made by the party; for it is only a convention, as I have sald before, held in accordance with such petition, having delegates apportioned in the manner set forth and by the party itself, which is a legal convention and from which legal nominations may be made. REQUEST DESIGNATION. If the contention of the petitioners in this case is true, the to the Board of Election Commissioners was resented on behalf of the Union Labor party. requested a designation upon the primary ballo end. et out &n apportionment of dele- gates to the convention Intended to be held. So far as the name is concerned this proceeding 1s unnec ry, for a place and designation for the party have been ordered assigned on the ticket by respondents. But the lpgt.)nlonmlnl. when made as required by la comes the basis of the convention which i to follow the primary, and only those delegates selected in accordance with such apportionment become the duly authorized delegates of the party. Tt will be seen, therefore, that the accsptance of the petition and the placing of the designa- tion of the party upon the ballot in accordance therewith are essential to the existence of a legal convention. In this case it was undented that the Union Labor party came into existe: in 1001 by a nominating petition: that the Unfon Labor party participated in the primary of 1002, and elected delegates to the local con- Vention, at which convention ecandidates for office were regularly nominated and a govern- ing committee duly and regularly chosen, which committee has continued in existence un: til this time, and of which the petitioners are, respectively, the chairman and secretary. The committee coming from such convention is the committee authorized by law to govern the party and it must be considered the represen- tative of the organization. MANDAMUS WILL LIE. Such being the case, mandamus will lie. I do not believe that the Board of Election Com- missioners has discretion, these things being shown, to deny the application of the petition- ers. The case of McDonald vs. Hinton does not militate against the position taken here. In that case the Supreme Court used this lan- guage: “If the issue presented here, whether or not the convention which the petitioners Tepresent was the convention which in fact rep- resented the Democratic party, then this court would have to consider whether or not it would, upon mandamus, hear evidence, and, after a trial thereof, itself determine the essentlal fact in dispute. But this proceeding was submitted upon the admission that the convention repre- sented by petitioners only claimed to be, but Was mot, a convention representing said local party, and upon the theory that the registrar Was bound to file their certificate merely be- cause it was in due and rogular form, - fore, the question whether this ‘tourt should, upon mandamus, inquire into the fact and de- termine whether said convention did or did not represent said political party is not before us.” n the case at petitioners not _only clalmed. bt established, If my view of the law is correct, that they represented the Union Labor party, and under such circumstances, following the doctrine of McDonald vs. Hinton, mandamus will le. Ordered peremptory writ lssue. Late yesterday afternoon a notice of an appeal from the decision was filed by Attorney H. C. McPike, who represents the Ewell-Aubertine faction. ——— e THE BENEFICENCIA COMPANY TO THB PUBLIC!! BEWARE OF COUN- TERFEITS!! All genuine tickets of this com- pany have initials “R. G.

He was present to receive as a testimonial for his bravery a handsome | gold watch presented by Colonel A. An- drews. The colonel made the presentation and at the. conclusion of his remarks the token was handed to the abashed policeman amid the prolonged applause of | the few present at the meeting. Commissioner Howell thanked Colonel Andrews on behalf of the commission and expressed that body’s gratification at the interest taken in the department by pri- vate citizens. Commissioner Hutton, as acting chairman, congratulated the patrol- man on his herofo conduct and hoped that his future record would be in keeping with the brilliant deed. Previously a letter had been read from Dr. C. H. Carlson, who was a passenger on the car when the accident occurred, in which was given a graphic description of the occurrence and a high tribute was pald to the hazard which the policeman ran. Horace G. Platt, president of the Geary-street Rallroad, also wrote, ex- pressing the appreciation of the company for the rescue. Policeman Charles W. Goodwin ten- dered his resignation to the commission. It was accepted. Policeman W. F. Kruger was convicted of abusing Joseph Desmond while con- veying him from Stxth and Market streets to the City Hall in a patrol wagon after he had arrested him and was fined $100. Commissioner Howell voted against the conviction. Hearing of the charges against Police- man W. T. Hooper, charged with making false reports while detalled with the So- clety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was continued until August 11| to allow the subpenaing of further wit- nesses.
