Abraham Zihn, who says that he is 71 years old and inexperienced in| business matters, vesterday began su to compel his daughter, Mary R. J.| Thorp, to convey to him a fourth in-l terest in the property at 1915-1921 Howard street, which he deeded to three other daughters in trust in Feb- ruary, 1802. According to his com- plaint he owed $5000 to John Center and gave him a mortgage on the prop- erty. Then, he says, his three daugh- ters, Clara, Emma and Elizabeth, | whom he declares to be experienced women, induced him to deed the prop- erty to them until the mortgage was paid and then they would reconvey it. The father asserts that he told his daughter Mary in August last that his daughters held a deed to the property and that Mary went to them and threatened to report that they had | defrauded their father wunless they | gave her a fourth interest in the prop- | erty. The three daughters deeded the | interest she asked for and on October | 8 they reconveyed the three-fourths to their father. When he demanded ! the one-fourth from Mary she refused | to give it up, claiming it as her own. The three dutiful daughters are made defendents in order to set aside their | transfer to Mary. —_—— Alleged Burglar in Toils, ! Charles H. E. Cadwell was arrested | at the Cliff House last night. He is wanted in Los Angeles, where he is ! alleged to have cracked the safe of a | wood and coal merchant and ltole‘ $132. Cadwell will be held pending | the arrival of an officer from the ! south.

The board held that the position taken by the Mayor was correct and sustained him by its action in refusing the proposed amendments a place on the ballots. Louis Ferari, who was nominated by the recent Democratic convention for the office of Justice of the Peace, also fell under the negative impulse of the Election Commission. Ferari demand- ed that his name be placed on the bal- lot notwithstanding the decision of the commission that there is no vacancy in the office of Justice of the Peace, 1t | having been held by the courts that| Justices hold office for a period of four years. Ferari has appealed to the Su- preme Court for a writ of mandate to compel the placing of his name on the ballot. PICTURESQUE AFFAIR. The fight that preceded the rejection of the petition for the charter amend- ment establishing a hign liquor license was the picturesque affair of the even- ing, however. It developed enterprise and activity on the part of the elec- tion commission, the Registrar and his small army of deputies beyond the be- lief of the most optimistic citizen. The figures presented by the Regis- | trar showed that when the petition was | filed it contained 10,324 names, 9874 be- | ing sufficient under the law to assure the proposed amendment a place on | the ballot, this latter number being 15 | per cent of the total vote cast at the last general election. When it came in, the Registrar said, sixty-five clerks fell upon it and for three days and three | nights they fingered it in search of legal blunders, illegal commissions and | ill advised omissions. Their campalgn was successful. [ When the question was presented to | the board last night Registrar Walsh | said that an investigation of the peti- tion had developed the fact that out of the 10,324 names it contained but| sor 6957 were registered, 3181 were not reg- | istered and 186 were missing from the addresses given. This left them 2917 short of sufficient signatures to entitie the proposed amendment petitioned for a place on the ballot. In addition to this fact, the Registrar said, palpable forgery had been com- mitted on the petitions. As an instance of this alleged forgery he pointed to the names of S. A. Ray, F. L Sprague, Ed- gar L. Ireland and W. A. Creswell, the names of which were signed in the same peculiar-colored ink. These four men named had been cited at the ad- dresses given on the petition to ap- pear, for what purpose they did not know. When their names were called they all appeared and identified their signaturcs and announced that they had signed them all at the same time and place, and with the fountain pen of James M. McElhinney. QUESTION OF FORGERY. The spirits of the anti-petition lobby that had assembled, headed by Attor- ney M. H. Wascerwitz, who represent- ed the Brewers' Protective Association, fell perceptibly at this point, while those of the Civic Councll, headed by Attorney J. E. White, brightened. But the board was not to be denfed. Sig- natures were picked out which the board said it would declare to be forged and ordered stricken out. Then Hand- writing Expert Carl Eisenschimel was thrown into the breach and identified several signatures which he said were forged beyond a doubt. Then the commissioners began to tes- tify. Commissioner Maguire did not believe the present petition would stand. Commissioner Leffingwell also stated that he knew the work of the Registrar had been faithfully perform- ed and his statement was corroborated by Chairman Roberts and so on down the line of the commission. For this reason the board said it would deny the request of those that had presented the petition that they be given an opportunity to check the work of the Registrar’s deputies, stating that it would delay the preparation of the precinct lists and interfere with the en- tire elgction. Pleading on the part of the petitioners was in vain, the call for the vote was given and the petition was rejected unanimously.

NOMINEE WITHDRAWS. Patrick McGoldrich, Union Labor nominee for the Assembly in the Thir- ty-ninth District, filed a petition ask- ! Richards last Monday at the Pacific- ing that his name be withheld from the ballot, stating that he had no desire to run for office. His petition will be granted. Then came the consideration of the | petitions of prominent citizens that had | been appointed to serve as election of- ficers to be excused from duty. 8. G.| Murphy, president of the First Nation- al Bank, who resides at the St. Francis Hotel, presented a certificate signed by Dr. James W. Keeney to the effect that Mr. Mu:phy was suffering from the grip and would be unable to serve as an| election officer. Commissioner Leffing- | aid he had been informed that | Mr. Murphy attended to his business at the bank dally and that if he could do this work he could serve the peopie ‘ in an election booth. Upon motion of Commissioner Devoto the physician’s | certificate was disregarded and a cita- | tion was directed to Mr. Murphy di- recting him to appear personally be- fore the board and show cause why he should not serve. T. Cary Friedlander and Homer S. King both wrote that they prnhah]y‘ would be out of the city on election | day. The Registrar was directed to | inform them that if they are in town | they will be expected to serve. Frank | J. Devlin also fell under this ruling. | A. Sbarboro announced that he had| been appointed by Governor Pardee to represent California at the Trans-| Mississippi Congress and the Inter- state Commerce Commission and prob- ably would be out of town on election day, though he would be glad to serve if here. His excuse was accepted. FAIL TO APPEAR. 8. Greenbaum, William Bourn and L. Ackerman, who had been cited to ap- pear and show cause why they should not serve as election officers, failed to “I move,” said Commissioner Lef- fingwell, “that these men be now cited to appear to show cause if they can why they should not be arrested and prosecuted under the law for refus- ing to appear and qualify to serve as election officers as they have been di- rected.” Cooler counsel prevailed and Leffing- well modified his motion to cover the issuance of another simple citation con- taining no direct nor implied threat. The motion prevailed, The commission then adjourned until next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. T VOTERS GREET JULIUS KAHN. Meeting in Forty-First District En- thusiastic for Nominee. Tha' Republicans of the Firty-first Assembly District turned out in force last night to give Julius Kahn, the Republican candidate for Congress from the Fourth Congressional Dis- trict, a hearty welcome. The meeting of the stalwarts took place in Steimke Hall on Octavia street, near Union, and the march of the candidate to the and in the glare of torches and red fire. The Nathan C. Coghlan Club, named after the Republican nominee for Assemblyman from the Forty- first, was very much in evidence. After Julius Kahn entered the hall and had been seated in the seat of honor, Edward J. Pringle, chairman, called for order and introduced the first speaker, Nathan C. Coghlan. In a short spech Coghlan told of his thanks for his nomination to the As- sembly and his appreciation of the honor. He then dwelt briefly upon the record of the Republican party and called attention to the condition of the workingman of to-day and that of the laborer of ten years ago. The Republican nominee for Supe- rior Judge, Daniel W. Burchard, was introduced and told briefly of condi- tions in the Philippines and the un- readiness of the Filipinos for self- government. Senatorial Candidate John H. Nelson preceded the chief speaker of the evening, Julius Kahn. Upon the presentation of the Con- gressional candidate the hall shook with applause. In his opening re- marks Mr. Kahn said that it was a great privilege to be able to address the voters of his home district and that it augured well for Republican success that in Republican strong- holds the registration had greatly in- creased, whereas in Democratic pre- cinets the gain was small. Then he told of the hard times consequent upon Democratic rule and described the differences between England's sys- tem of tariff duties and that of the United States. Continuing, he said: ‘The most interesting and potent results of Democratic misrule may be shown by the sta- tisties of the savings banks of California dur- ing t administration of four he Democratic years and the Republican administration of elght years. During the Democratic four California_was $10,000,000 and of assets $13,- 000,000. Four years after the Republicans re- sumed control the savings banks showed $24,- 000,000 in deposits In excess of the previous four years, and for the second four-year course of Republican rule the amount was $68,000,000. And this was not rich men's money. The sav- ings banks are the poor man's savings insti- tutions. Mr. Kahn then spoke of the Phil- ippines and said that when the Fili- pinos were ready for self-government | of Tombstone was nominated for Dele- it would be the business of our chil- | gate to Congress by the Territorial dren’s children to see that they re- ceived it.

Oct. 12. — The ! State Armory. He dwelt at length on - WHAT PERKINS SAYS OF BARD AT THE CLUB Gossip Concerning Richards’ Luncheon at the, Pacific Union Eloquence of Senior Senator Delights Rowell of Fresno The luncheon given by Jarrett T. Union Club to United States Senator Thomas R. Bard and a few friends must have been an interesting func- tion. Mr. Richards himself is a host of many excellent attributes. He is president of the Santa Barbara Cham- ber of Commerce, one of the leading lawyers of Southern California and a lifelong friend of Mr. Bard. Stenographic reporters were not at the table, hence a verbatim report of the talk cannot be given, but accord- ing to gossip in political circles sev- eral significant speeches were listened to by United States Senator George C. Perkins, former United States Senator Charles N. Felton, Fred S. Stratton, Collector of Customs; Dr. Chesfer Rowell, Regent of the University and State Senator Thomas B. Bishop, an eminent attorney, and T. B. McFar- land, Associate Justice of the State Supreme Court. The talk of the senior Senator was especially significant. - He pald high compliment to the character and pub- lic services of his colleague, Senator Bard. Dr. Rowell was so impressed with Perkins' estimate of Bard’s worth to California in the Senate of the United States that he was im- pelled to request the senior Senator to take the public into his confidence. There is no doubt that Collector Stratton said just what a leading Fed- eral office holder should say on such an occasion. Senator Felton is not given to much talking, but his talks are clear and directly to the point. What he said was surely lucid. Judge McFarland is always enter- taining and T. B. Bishop is entertain- ing and eloquent too. The company, however, listened with the keenest at- tention to the remarks of Senator Per- kins, who was called upon to respond to the sentiment that Senator Bard might be his colleague in the United States Senate for a long time. Whether it was the champagne, the company or both that inspired the senior Senator ie not definitely stated, but he spoke so frankly and inspiringly in praise of his colleague that his remarks were a greater refreshment than the wine. Dr. Rowell, who is something of a stoic, possessing the power to hold his emo- tions in restraint, was moved to ex- claim: “Senator Perkins, you ought to talk that way to the public.” Senator Perkins was kindly solicited yesterday to give The Call a summary of his remarks, but ne was not in- clined to attach much importance to his talk at the luncheon. When asked if he had definitely declared himself in favor of Senator Bard's ré-election he authorized The Call tv quote him as saying that his colleague was a high minded, honorable man of character and strength, whose services to Cali- fornia in the Senate were of great value. The Senator remarked that he could hardly be expected to declare himself in favor of Mr. Bard's candidacy when bis old time friends George Knight and Frank Flint had announced themselves as candidates. “You ecan quote me,” said the senior Senator, “as saying anything and everything in commend- ation of Senator Bard. I could not leave my place in the Senate to visit Sacramento and engage in the contest in his behalf. I did not do that for myself, but T have offered to make speeches with him in support of the Republican ticket, and if I had to de- clare my first choice among the can- didates for the Senate I would name Senator Bard.” L T MEETING AT MERCED. MERCED, Oct. 12.—The first Re- publican meeting of the campaign was held to-night, drawing an audi- ence that crowded the opera-house, The speakers were S. A, Simons of New York and Colonel T. V. Eddy of San Francisco. Congressman Needham, candidate for a fourth term in Congress, ad- dressed a large meeting in Snelling last night and is speaking at Legrand to-night.

HELENA, Mont., Oct. 12.—Appli- cation will be made to-morrow to the Supreme Court by John P.

Hays, Secretary of State, from placing on the official ballot the names of the State nominees of the anti-trust Democrats and the anti-trust Republi- cans, which are the same as those of The application will be based on the allegation that neither anti-trust party held a State convention and that no candidates were put up by their State committees, —_— Prohibition Candidate. PHOENIX, Oct. 12.—Ostora Gibson Prohibition ~ Convention Theld in Republican Nominee for Vice President| .. Concludes His Tour of | in the National Democratic Committee, DAVENPORT. Iowa, Oct. 12.—With a speech at Turner Opera-house to- night Senator Fairbanks concluded his tour of Iowa. He reached Davenport this afternoon on the Rock Island Rail- road, and after crossing the Mississip- pl River and speaking at Little Rock he returned to Davenport for to-night’s meeting. In addition to these two points he spoke during the day at Des Moines, Colfax, Newton, Kellogg, Grinnell, Brooklyn, Marengo, Iowa City, West Liberty and Durant. The crowds at the meeting to-night were large, but the meetings of the day were not as well attended as were those of yester day. The longest stay to-day was made at Jowa City, where the meeting was attended by a club of 200 students call- ing themselves- “Teddy's Hawkeyes.” To them, as to the students at Grinnell, Senator Fairbanks addressed himself especially, telling them that “the Re- publican party stands for principles as fixed and enduring as the stars.” A large part of the day was spent in the Second Congressional District, the only Democratic district in Iowa. Both at Davenport and Brooklyn Senator Fairbanks discussed imperial- ism. At Brboklyn he said: Our Democratic friends have suggested from time to time that there is some danger of im- perialism, They have got It into their heads that the Republican party is inimical to the republic; that the Republican party in some way or other is golng to subvert our repub- lican institutions and build upon their ruins imperialism. Did you ever hear of a more preposterous suggestion since the stars first sang together? The Republican party has been the loyal, in- telligent supporter of republican institutions from the time Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office in the national Capitol down to this beautiful morning. It has been the steadfast adherent of those policies which are for the upbuilding of our national strength and the expansion of our glory everywhere, The speech at Rock Island was de- voted to a defense of the currency and tariff policies of the Republican party. and the speech made here to-night was along the same lines. e BUSY DAY FOR DAVIS. Democratic Candidate for Second Place Makes Thirteen Speeches. FAIRMONT, W. Va., Oct. 12—Henry G. Davis’ second day of campaigning through Maryland and West Virginia was more intense and satisfactory than the first. It also added to the reputa- tion of Davis as a “young old man.” He repeated his record of yesterday with a dozen speeches, and added one more for good measure. Despite the rain, which followed the train during the first half of the day, there was no dampening of enthusiasm or diminish- ing of the crowds which greeted the candidate. At Grafton and Clarksburg the day seemed to be set apart as a holiday. In Clarksburg an elaborate marching es- cort and several hands were in waiting. The party was conducted to the Court- house, and the speeches, which were delivered from the portico of the jail, were listened to by a large audience. An indication of the earnest side of the campaign was the attendance of miners, who had left their work tem- porarily to hear the speakers. While Davis is a serious talker, especially when he touches on State issues, which he has been emphasizing, his general address and odd manner of abruptly introducing himeself, “I suppose you know I am Davis, who .is flying through, looking for friends and votes,” has the ffect of placing his hearers at ease after they have cheered the an- nouncement. Senator Daniel declared that he is having a more strenuous time in keep- ing up with Davis that he had in fol- lowing Stonewall Jackson in a gray Jacket during the war. The train was sidetracked at Fairmont for the night. U SO T BRYAN IN INDIANAPOLIS. Again Assures Hearers of Sincerity in Aiding Parker. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 12—Every available inch of floor space in Tomlin- son Hall was crowded to-night during a political meeting which marked the close of the first day of William J.

During the hours preceding the meeting. Bryan Tield a public reception at a hotel. An illuminated parade escorted Bryan and the entire committee to the hall. John ‘W.
