Che Mayor had issued a call for 11 | o’clock for a conference in his office of the Election Commissioners andgother interested parties, with the explessed intention of arriving at some amicable adjustment of the difficulty. Attorney Dibble w o present at the confer- ence to look out for ex-Congressman Kahn's interests The Mayor announced his determination to proceed to Washington on a citation issued by the United States Government, saying: WALSH'S TERM EXPIRES. “Mr. Walsh’s term of office will ex- pire on January 8, and should he go to Washington to be present at the Con- gressional investigation on January 14 he will no longer be Registrar and the ballots will be in the possession of one | not legally empowered to be their cus- todian.” In answer to the Mayor's question, Walsh replied that he intended leaving for Washington on Sunday. “Ha you applied to the Election Commissioners for a leave of absence to go beyond the limits of the State?” asked the Mayor. No,” said Walsh. “The citation from Washington is the only order wupon which I.am acting.” Will you be upon the same train upon which the ballots are sent?” in- quired the Mayor. “Well,” said Walsh, “I don't know about that. In fact, I do not think it is necessary, as the box in which they will be sent will be sealed by me. I will 80 on any train I please.” ““Then you propose to leave the State without first obtaining permission from in office?” asked the 1, T do not think that is neces- replied Walsh. 11, 1 give you notice,” sald the , “that I suspend you from your mean to say that these witnesses?” in the of sald “I do,” replied the Mayor, who there- upon issued the following order sus- pending Walsh: ’ “Whereas, Thomas J.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2.—A whirlwind | of indignation is raging about the ears of the Rev. W. W. Case, pastor of the | | Sixth-street Methodist Church, because {of his attack on the Tuesday Literary | Club’s grand ball to be given at Turner Hall next Thursday night. The Rev. Mr. Case declares he is un- shaken in his opposition to the dance on moral and ethical grounds, and that at his church to-morrow night he avill the Tuesday Club should abandon the society dance, which Governor Pardee and wife have been invited to lead. The Tuesday Club is the largest and most influential literary organization in Northe uff lifornia.” It includes in its membe p several hundred of the representative women of Sacramento, including alj the leaders of society. It has undertaken to build for itself a handsome home, and in furtherance af | this plan has arranged for a series of | | social events. The first of these, given {2 month ago, was a_‘“poster party” at the home of Mrs. William Beckman, and it was a brilliant success. The sec- ond event is to be a full dress ball next Thursday night. While preparations for the dance were at their height the Rev. Mr. Case, pastor of the leading Methodist church congregation in the city, appealed to| the women to abandon the project, | at the same time calling upon the Gov- | ernor to decline to join hands with the “devotees of the dance, whose upper stratum includes the splendid Tuesday Club of Sacramento, but whose lower | stratum is found in all the dives of our cities.” To The Call correspondent to-night Mrs. William Beckman, one of the lead- ing members of the Tuesday Club and the hostess at the “poster party,” said she had talked with many members of the Tuesday Club, and they regarded the Rev. Mr. Case’s remarks as un- called for. I am sure,” said Mrs. Beckman, | “that our dance will be on a much high- | er and on a more moral plane than the average church fair, where nothing is | thought of lotteries and grab-bags, and sometimes, if I must say it, cheating. I | permitted nothing of the sort at my ‘poster party.’ There was one admission fee and that was gll. I permitted no vices whatever to®xtort money. I do eve all church fairs can say as . Beckman said she had no desire to enter into any controversy on the subject, but she felt that the Tuesday Club had been unjustly criticized. It has developed that, notwithstand- ing the indignation expressed against the Rev. Mr. Case by members. of the Tuesday Club, there is an undercurrent of opposition to the dance on the payt of not a few members of the club. Mrs. A. A.-Goddard, the president of the club, said she personally had not ad- vised the feature, and she looked upon elaborate his twenty-five reasons why | | JANUARY 3, 1904.

Mayor Schmitz said that arrange- ments should be made to ship the ballots so that the legal custodian thereof could be in constant posses- sion of them, and this will be done. The ballots weigh 1100 pounds and the Mayor ascertained that when Walsh arranged to ship them to Washington on his own responsibility last Thursday Wells, Fargo & Co. sent a wagon to take them to the train, but the wagon was too light and the company’s representative promised to! send a heavier wagon the next day. | The Mayor thought there was no need | for haste, as the Cangressional investi- | gation will not begin until January 14. COMMISSION TAKES ACTION. The only previous action taken by the Election Commission was at a meeting held on Decemberj 21, when, on motion of Commissioner Deasy, Chief Deputy Zemansky was directed to take charge of the department of elections in the absence of Registrar Walsh in case he is subpenaed to ap- pear in Washington with the. ballots in the Congressional contest of Kahn vs. Livernash. The Election Commission met in the afternoon and Commissioner Boyle announced that Walsh had agreed to accompany in person the ballots to | Washington and Mayor Schmitz had revoked his order suspending Walsh. The communication from the Mayor revoking Walsh's suspension was read, as follows: “The Board of Election Commission- ers: Thomas J. Walsh, the Registrar of Voters and secretary of the Board of Election Commissioners, who was this day suspended by me for reasons stated in my communication te you of even date, having now presented to me satisfactory showing that he is willing’ to and will take to Washington, D. C., the ballots called for in the subpena of Election Committee No. 1 of the House of Representatives, under his actual and personal control and supervision, and will not allow said ballots to be taken by any person or persons unau- thorized to receive the same or to take possession thereof, and, further, having applied to me for a leave of absence from the State in accordance with the provisions of the charter, and it ap- pearing to me that it is possible to ap- point said Walsh as a deputy registrar without compensation from the date of the expiration of his term until his suc- cessor shall have arrived in Washing- ton under subpena, or until said ballots shall be returned to this State, and said Walsh now agreeing to comply in all respects with the law governing the custody and charge of said ballots, T do hereby revoke the order of suspen- sion of said Walsh as Registrar of Vot- ers of the city and county of San Fran- cisco and secretary of the Board of Election Commissioners, this day here- tofore made.

In another it was stated that un- less $50,000 were left in a bag at a place designated “‘the entire family must go," and that Marshall Field would be the last to go, so that he could see what a few dollars would have saved him. The reading of the anonymous letters in court was the first time the real threats were made public. Overruling motions of the prisoner's attorney that the young letter writer be discharged, Judge Foote held the de- fendant to answer before the Grand Jury. . ——————— BENSON WILL NOT OFFER HIS BONDS YET Attorneys Anticipate a Surprise and Will Wait Till Monday to Secure Release. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Bonds for J. A. Benson's release were ready this morning, but his attorney, J. C. Camp- beli, decided not to present them, hav- ing received information that Govern- ment officials had prepared to spring another surprise. It is said that the prosecution, having five or six different indictments against Benson, are pre- pared to rearrest him immediately after the execution of each bail bond that he furnishes. In order to pre- vent them from repeating their tactics of Thursday and arresting Benson after banking hours, it was decided by his attorney to wait uyntil Monday morning and then endeavor to pre- sent a bond that would cover all of the indictments, so as to prevent rearrest of his client. Mrs. Benson, wife of the prisoner in Ludlow-street jail, is with her sister at the Waldorf-Astoria. She feels very keenly the awkward predicament in which her husband is placed.

It is understcod that the selection of Crane was largely due to Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, an intimate friend of the President. Coolidge. the secretary, was formerly the Washing- | ton correspondent of a Boston paper. It is beginning to be apparent here that friends of Senator Hanna, noting the widesoread popularity <f the Ohio man, are very active in his behalf, not- withstanding the repeated declarations of the Senator that he would not be a candidate for.President. It is said by Hanna's intimate friends that the Senator fecently declared, somewhat regretfully, that he had already writ- ten more than 1000 letters positively de- clining to be a candidate and he did not see how he could now gracefully accept a nomination if it were tendered him. This declaration induces friends of the Senator to . believe that if the widespread popular sentiment in favor of his nomination crystallized in the national convention Hanna couild be prevailed upon to accept the nomina- tion.

Mr. Partridge was chairman of the late Republican Municipal Conven- tion and of the Republican Judicial Convention of last year. The position which he will hold under Judge Long is- now filled by George W. Lane, a brother of Franklin K. Lane.

He has been practicing law for five years past and in additton act- ing as court reporter for an evening paper. In his double capaci Mr. Coghlan has acquired a wide knowledge | of the courts and their procedure, and an experience that should be invaluable in his new position. Luther Elkins will replace Walter 'S. Dorn as fourth assistant. He isa grad- uate of Albany College, Oregon, and has been practicing law since 1895. He was for one term Assistant District At- torney of Linn County, Oregon. In 1898 he removed to this city, where he has since been engaged in the practice of his profession. John T.

He will succeed Harry R. White, who has been in the office since the beginning of Mrs Lane'’s term. John Williams, who will take P. A. Joy's place as messenger, is the only appointee in the list not a lawyer. He is new to politics and this is his first experience in public office. —————— PERKINS RESIGNS FROM RAILROAD LAND OFFICE Private Secretary to W. H.

Perkins, who, for fifteen years, served in a duel capacity of secretary of the Central Pacific Rail- | road Company's land office and private secretary to William H. Mills, chief of that department, has resigned. Mr. Perkins' resignation was handed into Mr. Mills several days ago and became effective on the last day of the year. Mr. Perkins, through his many years' commection with the land de- partment, was regarded as a valuable asgsistant to Mr. Mills, a fact which was testified to by the latter and other | prominent officials of the road when | they were called upon to acknowledge | the receipt of his letter of resignation.
