The members of the committee lin attendance were Leon Twenty-ninth Assembly District; L. A. Devoto, Thirtieth District; Maurice L. Asher, Fortieth; Robert Grier, Forly- second; Philip Haskins, Forty-third; Ed Buckley, Forty-fifth, and J. D. Brown, Charles M. Fisher and Luther Elking, committeemen at large. On motion of J. D. Brown, M. L. Asher was called to the chair. Phil | Haskins was authorized to act as sec- retary. After considerable discussion the committee adopted a call for a Re- publican Congressional Dfstrict Con- vention to two delegates and two altérnate delegates to the National Republican Conventien at Chicago. It gelect is provided in the call that the district convention shall be held in San Fran- cisco at 8 p. m., Friday, May 20, 1904. The convention will consist of sixty- eight es, apportioned to Assem- bly distr follows: . Twenty-eighth District, | Twenty-ninth District, delegates; Thirtieth District, 6 delegates; Thirty- first Distric gat Fortieth Dis- trict, 8 de Forty-first District, 5 delegates; 7 deleg Forty-second Distriet, 9 deleg: ty-third Distriet, 9 dele- gates; Forty urth District, 8 dele gates; Forty-fifth District, 6 delegates. On motion of J. D. Brown -the chair- man and secretary were authorized to file the necessary petitions with the Secretary of tate. RECOGNIZES PRIMARY LAW.| The cali for the district conventioa adopted by the committee recognizes the primary election law and provides that delegates to the convention shall be chosen at the primary election on y, May The temporary roll of delegates will be made up by the chairman and cretary of the Con- gressional District Committee. The Fourth Congressional District Committee, of which Louis H. Ander son is chairman and Martin Kelly s retary, has issued a call for the conven- tion to meet in San Francisco on Wed- nesday, May 18, at 8 p. m. It is pro- vided that the convention shall consist of 250 delegates, under a flat appor- tionment of twenty-five delegates to each of the ten Assembly districts. The delegates are to be elected under the provisions of the primary election law on Tuesday, May 3. The following significant paragrapn is contained in the call for the Kelly Congressional District Conventio “That the delegates elected or select- ed to the Republican State Convention to be day of May, 1904, the National Republican Convention at Chicago, shall not be eligible nor per- mitted to sit or act as delegates in the conventioff®to be held under this call, and such delegates from said Fourth Congressional District to said Repub- lican State Convention shall not be em- powered or authorized to elect or select district del from said Fourth Congressional District to said Repub- lican National Convention.” Only one of the two Congressional committees in the Fourth District can be recognized by the Secretary of State as the governing body of the Repubii- can party in the district. The petitions, if not already filed at Sacramento, will be filed. to-day. { District conventions to elect delegates to the National Republican Convention at Chicago will be held in the Fourth and Fifth Congressional districts of this State. The district delegates will be chosen at the primary election May 3. Initial steps for the filing of the neces- sary petitions have been taken by the Congressional committee of each dis- trict. These district conventions will be entirely separate from the Repubiican State Convention, which has been called to meet in Sacramento May 18 for the purpose of electing four dele- gates at large and four alternates to the national convention of the party. Very likely- many of the delegates to a Congressional district convention may be chosen to represent their respective Assembly districts in the State conven- tion. Word comes from the north that Charles Clinch of Grass Valley and J. C. Bull of Eureka will be chosen to | represent the First Congressional Dis- | trict. It is common gossip that the Congressional committee in the First will not issue a call for a district con- vention. Therefore under the call is- | sued by the Republican State Central Committee, acting in harmony with the | directions of the Republican National | Committee, the delegates elected to the | State convention from the counties comprising the First Congressional Dis- | trict will elect the delegates from said ‘dulrlct to the national convention. CONTRA COSTA GROWING. | Tt is an open question whether there | will be a sevarate convention in the | Secona Congressional District. There | are indications that the committes will {mot file a petition and that the dele- gates eclected to the State convention | will resolve themselves into a Con- | gressional district convention. Superior { Judge A. G. Burnett of Sonoma and . P. Hammon of Butte will probably be yr.hnnn as delegates from the district | to the Chicago convention. In affairs pertaining to the Third Congressional District the leading Re- | publicans of Alameda and Solano coun- ties usually come together and make ! up a slate without recognizing the ex- | istence of Contra Costa County. The last-named county is becoming too im- | portant to be longer ignored. Richmond is growing with marvelons rapidity. All along the bay south and west from Martinez to the county line population is increasing. Before many years roll by somebody from Contra Costa County | team was defeated last night at Wat- | may go to Congress. | There is gossip in the Republican | camp of the Third District that George Samuels, | INTRUDER } BLOSSOM FETE “sovserorn FOR SAN JOSE | Woman’s Club Is Arranging . for an Elaborate Display | of Flowers in Coming April 'CITY TO BE DECORATED c———— Bnttle of Roses Will Be One | of the Most Attractive | Features of the Event ! it !

Carlton, the clubman and society leader, was | confronted at his residence, 1436 Web- | ster street, by an armed man, who brindished a loaded pistol. The in-| truder, to the amazement of Carlton | | and his wife, proved to be Edward Thompson, son of the late Peter Thompson, who was a prominent and wealthy capitalist. The Thompson resi- | dence is across the street from the Carl- ton domicile. Dr. Carlton, by coolness and tact, managed to handle Thompson and to| get his unwelcome visitor ont of the house without serious consequences. Thompson is deemed erratic. Chief of Police Hodgkins said the pioneer Oaklander’s son had once been examins | ed in San Francisco for insanity, but had been discharged. i Mary MecWalter, the domestic, was ' awakened by the rattling of the win- | dow shutters in her room. She saw a man climbing into the room, and with a scream of fright fled, pursued by Thompson, who was stopped by Dr. Carlton and Mrs. Carlton, both of whom rushed into a hallway after be- ing aroused by the girl's cries. Recog- | nizing Thompson, Dr. Carlton demand- ed to know what he was doing in tHe | house. The visitor incoherently mut- tered that he was looking for “Ethel.” | Thompson was told that the object of his strange search was not there, but | he persisted so emphatically that the | aroused householder accompanied him | through the residence. Then the unexpected caller departed, | but instead of crossing the street to | | his home attempted to scale a fence and to enter a house next door to the Carlton place. Dr. Cariton succeeded at last in calming his visitor sufficient- | 1y to induce him to leave the place and go home. Thompson got to the window by crawling up a step ladder he had placed | beneath it. Miss McWalter said: “We knew that Mr. Thompson, neighbor, had been acting queerly some time, but we did not think | was dangerous. His actions gave all a pretty good scare.” Thompson has been living at the| home place with his mother and sister. | The warrant for Thompson's arrest was given to Officer Forgie, who had considerable trouble in landing the man at the Receiving Hospital. On his | arrival at Thompson’s home he was encountered by Lucy Thompson, who | gave him a hard fight, at the same time yelling to her brother to make ' his escape. Thompson ran, but was overtaken by the officer, who, after a | short struggle, handcuffed the man | and took him to the detention ward of the Receiving Hospital, where he will be held pending an examination. | —_—— | San Fr: -isco Veterinary College. | Next session will begin June 6th, Catalogues | by applying to Dr. E.

Pippy of this city and O. A. Hale | and E. A. Hayves of San Jose are! spoken of as available men. The Sixth Congressional District will | probably be represented in the naunnal' convention by Congressman ,J. C. Needham of Modesto and Frank Short of Fresno. Senator Thomas Flint does not fancy a summer outing in Chi- cago. In the Seventh District (Los Angeles) there is quite a galaxy of aspirants for national convention honors. Interest in the district representation is over- shadowed by the contest between Rob- ert N. Bulla and J. W. McKinley for the honor of going to Chicago as dele- gate at large. J. H. Norton and Thomas Hughes may be selected to rep- resent the Congressional district. In the Eighth Congressional District there is very little agitaiion on the topic of district representation. There is talk of electing former State Senatord| 8. C. Smith of Kern County and Sen- ator M. L. Ward of San Diego. For chairman of the State conven- tion the name of Colonel E. A.
