AGAINGT SHERIFF Van Nostrand Declares Amendment to the Code Invalid. Justice of the Peace Van Nostrand yes- terday gave judgment in the sum of $260 inst eriff Lackmann, who was sued Adolph and M Lehmann for hav- by ing d two printing presses which the plz had bought in good faith. | After the plaintiffs had bought the presses e Sheriff's deputies took possession of em on a writ of attachment served on ‘r:r.» man who had sold the presses to the | an; | Lackmann acted under an amendment to the of Civil Procedure which was adopted at the last Legislature and pro- | vides that the s or as stock fn trade is not valid unless du notice of the ame has been filed with the County ecorder for at least e before the sale, together with | the name of the vendor and wvendee and the amount of the purchase price, Lackmann contended that the man who |60ld the goods to the Lehmanns had not complied with the law in the manner mentioned and therefore the goods had not legally paseed from the possession of | the seller to the buvers. As the writ of | attachment was directed to the sellers 1's deputies seized the printing esses after the Lehmanns had obtained of them, on the ground that le was an absolute nullity since had never been recorded. 1 deciding the case against the Sher- iff, Judge Va m ndment req is in direct conflict with laws and is therefore n Nostrand held that | the amendment was a deprivation of prop- | erty rights, which always included the powers to buy and to sell, without an: due process of law. Van Nostrand was | fortified in his ruling by a Federal court | dectsion In the State of Ohio, which held | that a similar provision making certain requirements in the sale of goods was unconstitutional. gl S G L Grand Lodge Installs Officers.

R | | The dead body of Mrs. Eva Brodt of | | Quaker Hill, Nevada County, was found | | in Golden Gate Park yesterday afternoon | | at 2 o'clock. By her side was an empty | bottle, which had contained carbolic acid. What were the reasons that caused her | to take her life are not known. About| | three weeks ago she arrived in town from | Los Angeles, where she had been visiting friends. Her husband s residing in Quaker Hill, and a son, Willlam, is living | in Fresno. Another son, Lincoln Brodt, is residing | at 2328 Tenth street, Berkeley. Friday his mother sent him a note saying that she intended doing away with herself and on receipt of the letter he at once came to town and sought his brother-in-law, | Charles Schwebs of 37 Langton street,| 4and asked him to try to find his mother. | Schwebs visited the Morgue late last night and at once identified the remains found in the park as those of Mrs. Brodt. Mrs. Brodt chose a picturesque, seclud- | | ed spot on the brow of Bell Tower Hill, just adjacent to the cyclers' rest, and there, on a sloping, mossy bank at the foot of a tall eucalyptus tree and sur- rounded by a thick growth of oak trees, took the deadly potion that ended her ex- istence. She was attired in a handsome dress of black silk, with black hat. At her right e was the empty.bottle and at the left was her silk handbag, containing her false teeth and a purse with $350 in it. There was nothing about her to In any way show her identity. | About twenty feet away was found a tin cup. From this she had drunk the poison and then thrown it away from her. The remalns were discovered by W. J.| Barnard of 1630 Page street and Oscar T. Schuck, Parrott bullding, as they were climbing over the hills. | | They at once reported the matter to | Beargent J. H. Helms, who telephoned | | to the Coromer’s office and Deputy Coro- | ner J. Fennell and Officers Nelson Norton, | | 3. 8. O’'Shea and J. J. Dow were prompt- | 1y on the scene and the body was at once removed to the Morgue. | | _Charles Schwebs said he thought Mrs. | Brodt was laboting under-an attack of | | temporary insanity, as he knew of no possible reason why she should take her | own life, as her family relations were of the most pleasant character. ‘ The deceased was about 62 years of age. ‘ —_——e————— HOARDED HIS MONEY | AND DIES FRIENDLESS | Henry Page Found Lifeless in Bath- room at His Lodgings After a Career or Thrift. | | The body of Henry Page was found in | a bathroom of the lodging-house at 123 Tenth street yesterday morning by W. T. Brown, the proprietor of the house. The | deceased was aged 73 years, and the cause | of death was evidently heart disease. He | appeared in good health and spirits when | he retired Friday night. | he dead man was a teamster by occu. on, and by careful saving and fortu nate investments had accumulated an es. | tate valued at $30,000. It consists largely of cash in bank d negotiable securities, | He left a will devising the bulk of the es- tate to a sister who lives in Providence, | Some small bequests were made to n of a cousin living in this city. | Johnson, secretary of the Supreme | Court Commissioners, is named as ex- | ecutor. | The deceased had lived at the place | where his death occurred for the last | twelve years. He was nearly blind as a | result of an operation to remove a cata- | ract from one of his eyes, and was gen- | | erally in feeble health. He was remark- | able for his thrifty habits. He cooked and slept in one room, and. some of his| ighbors cla’m he obtained most of his | ovisions from rejected stuff at the mar- | kets and what he could glean from swill | barrejs. Before he became disabled by partial | | blindness Page drove a sprinkling cart, being cmploved by his_brother, Robert | | Page, now deceased, who at one time held the contract. for the sprinkling of the| city’s streets. It is claimed that he was | | a partner in the contract, although his | | name did not appear as one of the parties to it. | eI ia e Struck by Truck and Killed. George Tewksbury, an employe of the TUnited Rallroads, residing at 10) Twenty- ninth street, met with an accident yester. day morning from which he died in St. Luke's Hospital during the afternoon. The deceased, with other employes of the company, wxs sent from the carhouse on | Mission street to free the track from an | obstruction at Mission street and Cirt- land avenue, where a two-horse truck laden with tanbark had broken down. While hoisting the truck from the track one of the levers jerked in such a w: as to throw Tewksbury against an iror pole, fracturing his s He was picked up in an unconscious condition and car ried on a stretcher to St. Luke’s Hospital, where he died several hours later. The deceased was 30 years of age. Upon an order from Coroner Leland the body was allowed to be removed to an undertaking establishment. The deceased leaves a wife and daugh- ter and is also survived by his wmother and a brother. He was a member of the | Woodmen of the World, of the Red Men and of the Native Sons of the Golden West. —_————— Swedish-American Picnic.

CROCKER ADDRESSING A PACKED MEETING AT SILK'S | HALL LAST NIGHT, AND THREE CANDIDATES WHO ARE CAM- PAIGNING WITH HIM ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. | NCHMEN of Ruef's candidate for Mayor attempted to break up a Republican meeting at Silk's Hall last night, but failed. Cheers were given for Schmitz, but these were drowned by heartier cheers for Henry J. Crocker, the standard-bearer of the Republican party. After two or three men had been threatened and an- other thrown out of the hall the speakers were given a hearing. Maurice Asher, candidate for Supervisor, turned the incident Into some good by saying he regretted that the “Schmitz man"” had been thrown out the window, as had he remained and listened to Henry J. Crocker he would cast his vote for him and not for the incumbent. Mr. Crocker also secured a laugh by telling the crowd that he had heard there was ‘‘something doing” before he arrived, and he regret- ted he was late. The hall was too small to accommodate. | the crowd. Hundreds of voters filled the place und cheered lustily for Crocker and the other candidates on the ticket. Excel- lent speeches were made and many con- verts to the standard of the Republican party were gained. The success of the meeting was due to the efforts of the following members of the campaign committee of the Thirty- third District: Louis Taylor, J. J. Calla- han, John Hogan, James J. Ryan, John Feno and Joseph McTighue. John 8. Partridge presided at the meet- ing, and he carried out his part with great skill. His opening speech was full of logle. 'He pointed out that it would be wise for the people to elect Henry J. Crocker. He showed that the administra- tion of municipal affairs with Crocker at the helm would be the finest the city has ever had. He dwelt at length on his qual- ities as a business man and as a citizen of the city of his birth. Continuing he sald: REPUBLICANS UNITED. There has never been a time in the history of this city and county when the Republi- cans were so absolutely together as they are in this campaign. We have at the head of our ticket a man who does not owe alleglance to any boss or to any political faction. He is an upright, decent Amercian citizen. I have traveled this city from one end to the other and 1 hear Henry J. Crocker's name every- where. It seems fo be in the alr. I know the candidate on the Labor ticket. He is a decent, agreeable gentleman. 1 know the candidate on the Democratic ticket. He is also a pleasant, affable gentleman, but 1 do not_believe that either of these gentlemen could do for San Francisco that which has to be done—the expenditure of eighteen mil- Mon dollars—better than our candidate for Mayor. He has promised to see that the work- Henry J. .,Crocker Develops Great in the Outlying Districts by His Business Like Ways. { ticket straight, from Henry J. Crocker to Ed. Strength ingmen get the most of the money expended. The Republican party is the truest friend the workingman has ever had Charles Alpers created a great deal of merriment by his rhyming talk. He has the happy faculty of putting into verse what other people find difficult to put into prose. He appealed to the voters to stand by the Republican ticket. He also criticized Mayor Schmitz and his advis- ers. The speaker was interrupted fre- quently by men in the back of the hall who were in favor of the opposition tick- ets, but he did not mind the interruption. | Theodore Lunstedt, one of the party's| clean-cut candidates for Supervisor, re-| ceived a hearty welcome from the voters | pr:sem. In the course of his speech he said: A PLAIN CITIZEN. I Bave been informed that the time Itmit for candidates for Supervisor is one minu and I will not overstep it. I want to make | the same statement to-night that I have made every night during the past week, and when 1 make this statement 1 want every Republi- | can resident in this district to know I mean it. The Republican conventfon has placed | before the community of this city g ticket that is as good as any In the field, and I say it is the duty of every good Republican | to %0 to the polls on November 3 and vote the die Sweeney.

T the pleasure of initiating | Henry J. Crocker into a lodge of Native Sons, over which 1 presided, some years ago. I want to say that he was a plain man then and he | is just the same man to-day. (Great applause.) | For myself, gentlemen and fellow-citizens, [ can_onl . 1T you will give me your support and if I am elected, that I will give | you a fair and honest administration of the | Qutfes of the office. Judge Joachimsen was given a good rally when presented to his large audi- | ence. He told of his past record: of the | boys and girls he had saved to be better | citizens. He sald if he was deserving he | wanted the voters to stand by him and | the balance of the ticket. | George R. Wells, Maurice Asher, Fred | Eggers and Joseph S. Nyland were given | hearty greetings when presented. Ashar | scored quite a hit in his speech. He said: | “I am sorry they threw the Sghmitz | sympathizer out of the window, because l1 am sure if he had waited and heard M: Crocker he would have voted for him.” | (Laughter and applause.) | | CREATES SENSATION. When Henry H. Lynch was introduced | a voice could be heard above the hearty | cheers for the candidate for Sheriff.

The new ballot law adopted at the last session of the Legislature goes into prac- tical effect in on November 3 next. Republicans w ake no mista in voting the straight Republican ticket from top to bottom.

Unfair or un- friendly election officers might insist on throwing out the e ball To avold any possibility of mistake let Republican voters stamp inside the circle at the top of the columm and then go down the line and stamp for each candi- date in the Republican column. It will be time enough after the new ballot law has been construed by the election officers for Republicans to discriminate in favor of an exceptionally good man on a riyal ticket The safe proposition In this election for Republicans is to vote the Republican ticket straight, beginning with Henry J Crocker for Mayor and ending with win M. Sweeney for Judge of the Pol Court. It is common talk in political rcles | that Henry J. Crocker will be elected Mayor. It is true that the Schmitz t- ings are well attended. but Schmitz a large following of office holders nected with the various commissions an departments of the city govern Many of them neglect their official & in daytime to do politics for the man who put them next to the public treasury. neariy all of them are campaigning at night for Ruef and Schmitz. They shout lustily for the Mayor whenever Ruef gives the signal. The promise is out that Ruef will allow a wide open town in event of Schmitz's re-election. Fire has De- partment attaches and policemen are do- ing politics for Ruef and Schmitz The Republicans, however, are holdin the largest and most enthusiastic m ings of the campaign. It is freely prec ed that Crocker will get more than votes on November 3. 0 is ‘The support h gaining from the ranks of the working- men is especially gratifying to the Repub- lican leaders. Mr. Crocker is making a manly campaign.

The topic itself is not so al but it is a change—a relief from Candidate Lane’s incessant twaddle about himself. The Election Commission has ordered the names of about 300 men to be stricken from the great register because they coul not be located at the residences which they had given when registerine.
