THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1904 ——— o NEWS 1 WHEELER JARS SENIORS Riotous Students Must Explain UnrulyYoung MenFind ThemselvesinClutch of Captain Nance’s Military Vise. ce San Francisco Call, 8 Center Street, Nov. 7.

It is explained that if a man is drop- ped from Military 3A it will be impossi- ble for him to procure & diploma. That ie what distresses the seniors and that is why the entrance to Captain Nance's | office to-day was darkened by the forms of various upper class men bearing typewritten explanations of their conduct on last Wednesday. Captain Nance declines to discuss the affair in any way. He has the regula- tions of the War Department at his back, which he followed in issuing his order, requiring students to march into his class room in military style and in perfect order. Secure in the fact that he is well within the army regulations, Captain Nance remains cool, apparent- ly fancying that it is his place now merely to “stand pat” and permit IN A MILITARY VISE. President Wheeler said this morning that the letters that have been sent out are merely routine affairs. He regrets that the students were ignorant of the faot that in rebelling last Wednesday ageinst Captain Nance's order they were dealing with a War Department order. This he deems unfortunate, as there can be no yielding. Faoulty regulation No. 17 provides that all accused students shall be al- | | | taken in their cases, and in accordance with this regulation the letters to the seniors have been written. A committee from the clase, led by Gustay White and Joseph Loeb, prominent seniors, attempted to reason the matter with Captain Nance to-day. They found the captain cour- teous, but like granite. He refused to discuss the case, informing | that it was all official business and not of the sort that could be properly made | the subject of oral discussion. “If the class has any statements to | make,” said Cdptain Nance, “let them be in writing and placed on file with other papers in the case.” Just how many seniors have recetved President Wheeler's letter is not known. 1 believed that more than half of class is affected by the order.

In his weekly lecture before the Col- lege of Commerce students to-day President Benjamin Ide Wheeler made a good campalign speech on the sub- ject of to-morrow’s election. He told what should be an educated man’'s duty. He urged all the students who were of age to vote and those who were not to take an interest in poli- tics as soon as they should be of age. He said parties were both necessary and valuable in carrying on the Gov-| ernment and that every man should affiliate himself with one or the other. President Wheeler then gave his personal estimate of each party, saying first that he did not feel himself free to be allied with any. He character- ized the Republican party as a party but at present the greatest party the country ever had in getting things done and In getting them done right. The Democratic party, President Wheeler thought, was too broken up and divided within itself to have any definite policy and simply represented the opposition to the Republicans. The Socialist party, he said, should not be condemned by an educated man with- out a hearing; the Prohibitionist he did not deem national, and he did not regard the Populist as of any value whatever. President Wheeler said in part: It is geperally thought extremely dangerous to talk about either religion or politics in & Etate univers But 1 think that a study politics is entirely in place in a it ‘we put aside prejudice and par- 1f our college men are not trained to take part in government what ben- efit b tate derived by educating them? sre based on the presumption o exists, and they will work when there is patriotism to guide properly onl: them. Our two great partie# have really become parts of the constitution, though they are not written down as such, and it is only through their agency that all parts of the government can run smoothly. Every patriotic citizen should affiliate with cne or the other. While we should not blindly follow a party in local elections, in national elections it should be | the party, the doctrine, and not the man, for which we should vote. The Republican party has not been very strong in theory. It has ‘often terided to rep- resent the well-to-do class. But it has al- ways been able to do things end do them right. %M Democratic party consists of three s arate wings: the Northwestern radical Demo- ; the South, and the Northeastern Demo- represented by Tammany. The party at present consists only of the Northeastern and Bouthern elements, which were joined by Hill, an adroit politiclan and a crafty and dangerous men. Theoretically the Democrats have a strong case, but Parker made two se- ricus mistakes when he eaid that the trusts should be treated under the common law, and that the tariff could not be changed, even if ere elected. The charge of imperialism to be their strong point. Their last re on the corporations. Roosevelt has denled this, and bis word is as good as gold, 1 have met Mr. Parker, and he is a maf of magnetic personelity and a clean, old-fash- foned Democrat, but not a fighter and not a man of deep convictions. et BOY JAILBREAKER IS TOO KEEN FOR DEPUTY SHERIFF Twelve-Year-Old Arthur Frederick Rides With His Pursuer and at Opportune Moment Escapes. OAKLAND, Nov. 7.—To have a jailbreaker in the same buggy with fate of Deputy Sherift White to-day while out hunting for Arthur Fred- erick, who succeeded in spreading the bars of the County Jail here Sat- urday night and getting away. White's chagrin was increased by the fact that the family dog tore a new pair of trousers. White picked up a lad In his search whom he asked to take him to the Frederick home. The Boy hap- pened to be the one he was looking for, but he gave a false name, and then when the Sheriff went into the house he ran through the yard and over the back fence. The mother pointed to the disappearing form of her young hopeful in answer to White's query and the deputy went in pursuit. The bulldog in the back vard then took a hand in the matter. ‘White came out second best and lost all trail of his quarry. ———— SHERLOCK HOLMES NEEDED TO TRACK THIS BUGGY Court Wants Fabled Detective to Aid in Unraveling Mystery of Its Ownership. OAKLAND, Nov. 7.—"“Who owns this buggy?” is the question Police unable to answer. Search warrant proceedings were began against V. S. Northey, a carriage builder, at 801 East Twelfth street, to recover a buggy, valued at $90, which Northey was repairing. F. R. Ross, secretary of the Oakland Carriage and Imple- ment Company, swore he had sold the buggy to one Joe Watson, who had paid $20 on the purchase price and sold the rig. o T Louis Schaffer, a stableman, turned up as the man who sent it to Northey, but Schaffer said he bought the buggy from Ben Wright, another stableman. Wright declares he purchased it from one Camden. At this point Judge Samuels continued the case - that Camden might be found. lock Holmes sit with him on hearing. 5N County Solid for Roosevelt Party Will Elect All lts Nominees OAKLAND, Nov. 7.—The campaign has closed here and Alameda County, which has given to the country a Cabi- net officer, a Governor of this State, a United States Senator, a Congressman and many other able servants of the Dpeople, is preparing to give the largest vote for Theodore Roosevelt and the Republican ticket that it has ever polled in a long and honorable history. The voters of Alameda County have not a great deal to vote for this year. Outside of the ten Presidential electors there are only a few district officers to be chosen—three State Senators, seven Assemblymen, three Supervisors and one Congressman. So few officers {are there to vote for that in some districts there is only a Congressman and an Assemblyman to ballot for, aside from the electors. The night before the battle 1s always one for predictions, and a conservative estimate of the situation assures that Alameda County will elect every one of the Republican nominees, and give an unprecedented majority for the Repub- lican electors. The Democrats have made no fight at all for the leaders of their ticket, and the only contests that have made their appearance on the political harizon are purely per- sonal ones and involve salaried offices. An effort has been made to displace all the three Republican nominees for Bupervisor, but even this is not a party fight, for in two cases the Democrats have indorsed disgruntled Republi- cans. Even the Democratic County Central Committee, as already reported in The Call, has been compelled to come out over the signature of its of- ficers and denounce one of {ts party nominees for withdrawing from the fight at the last moment in the inter- ests of a disgruntled Republican. In spite of all of this kind of work the three Republican nominees will be elected—C. F. Horner in the First Dis- trict, H. D. Rowe in the Fourth Dis- trict and John Mitchell in the Fifth District. There is not even a shadow of a contest in the matter of the three Re- publican nominees for State Senator, and the following candidates will carry their respective districts: J. G. Mattos Jr., Thirteenth District; Captain W. M. Simpson, Fourteenth District; G. R. Lukens, Fifteenth District. Captain Simpson will succeed J. R. Knowland, who will be elected to Congress to suc- ceed Secretary Victor H. Metcalf. Mr. Mattos represents the newly created district. Senator Lukens will succeed himself. Senator Leavitt is a hold- over and has two years more to serve. Just a shadow of a fight has de- veloped in one Assembly district. County Assessor Henry P. Dalton has turned loose upon Assemblyman Phil M. Walsh. Dalton, who lives in the Forty-eighth Assembly District, now represented by Walsh, to-day flooded the town with personal letters asking his friends to vote for W. S. O'Brien, the Union Labor nominee. Dalton is possessed of great influence in his dis- trict, but it is not belleved that he will be able to defeat Mr. Walsh. Dalton charges Walsh with attacking Gover- nor Pardee at the last session of the Legislature. Walsh to-night issued a reply in which he shows that he was a consistent supporter of the adminis- tration, and supported every bill the administration favored. Clarence Crowell, chairman of the Republican County Central Committee, has issued a statement in which he calls upon every Republican to vote to-morrow. He urges them all to save any confusion and difficulty by stamp- ing a cross at the head of the _ticket and voting for everybody who has the indorsement of the Republican party. PR A HAYWARDS CAMPAIGN CLOSES. Attorney A. V. Mendenhall Addresses Enthusiastic Audlence. HAYWARDS, Nov. 7.—The Roose- velt-Fairbanks Republican Club of Haywards closed the campaign in Alameda County to-night with a rous- ing rally and smoker at the Haywards Opera-house. When Chairman H. C. Brunner introduced the first speaker the large auditorium was packed to the doors. Before the meeting the Foresters’ band gave a concert. Attorney Asa V. Mendenhall, the speaker of the evening, predicted a sweeping victory for the Republican ticket and urged the voters tg in giving a big majority, not only for the heads of the ticket, Roosevelt and Fairbanks, but for the local candi- dates as well. A short address, the last of his campaign, was made by Joseph R. Knowland, candidate for Congressman for the Third Congres- slonal District. Short talks were made by C. A. Snook, E. K. Strow- bridge, P. J. Crosby and F. I. Lennox. TO BULLETIN RETURNS OAKLAND, Nov. 7.—Complete election returns will be posted by The San Francisco Call to-night at all of its Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley offices, as follows: Main Oakland office, 1016 Broadway.

ALAMEDA SAYS |[CASHIER GONE; “X) GARBACE” Town Decides Not to Allow Oakland to Bring In and Dump Any Outside Waste AR ALAMEDA, Nov. 7.—Oakland scav- engers will no longer be permitted to haul and dump their garbage in Ala- meda, as the City Trustees to-night ordered the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to prohibit the bringing of outside waste and filth into the muni- cipality. Fritz Boehmer appeared on behalf of the scavengers and asserted that the garbage was being utilized to improve the Bay Farm Island without cost, and that the material dumped along the highway was not unsanitary. Trus- tee W. M. Bowers replied to Boehmer that it was not a question of cheap road construction, but a matter that concerned the general health of the community. He alleged that the former dumps on Webster street had been the cause of several cases of ty- phoid fever. Bowers moved and Trus- tee B. E. Combs seconded the motion instructing the City Attorney to pre- pare a prohibitive ordinance against the carting of outside garbage into the city. City Electrician G. A. Wiese, in com- pliance with a request from the City Trustees, filed his written resignation to-night, the same to go into effect between now and the first of Decem- ber. An application for Wiese's posi- tion was read from Anson W. George. No action was taken to-night on the disbandment of the volunteer hose companies, as Trustee C. J. Hammond of the Police and Fire Committee stated that he desired further time to investigate the plan of reorganiza- tion. Protests from the civic section of the Adelphian Club and the Alameda Ad- vancement Assoclation against the mu- tilation of shade trees were read and referred to the Police Committee. phics e s S A, ' Wife Denounces Her Husband. OAKLAND, Nov. 7.—"I want that man to keep away from me forever. Let him never darken my door again,” declared Mrs. M. de Ponta | to-day in the Police Court after she had recited a long story of abuse she had endured at the hands of Manuel de Ponta, her husband. It was a tale of drunkenness and violence oft re- peated. Police Judge Mortimer Smith convicted the man and ordered him day. The Pontas PLERTR e R SRRt FUNDS SHORT Disbursing Officer Danforth of Geological Survey in Los Angeles Is Missing LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7.—No addi- tional shortages have been discovered in the accounts of J. F. Danforth, local disbursing officer of the United States | Geological Survey, who has been miss- | ing from his home in this city for sev- | eral days, and for whom the Federal officers are supposed to be searching. Danforth’s known shortage up to the | present time aggregates $1672, most of which amount was secured on a check | signed by himself and drawn on the United States Sub-Treasury at New York. Three other checks are missing | from the order-book, and these could |'have been filled out and signed by Dan- | forth for any amount he chose. The | Sub-Treasury has been mnotified of the numbers of the checks_and they will be refused payment when presented. So far no trace of them has been found. Danforth is secured in the Aetna In- demnity Company in the sum of $25,000, and the officer in charge of the local office of the survey expressed confi- dence that the amount would more than cover any shortage that could possibly develop. Danforth, who was a young man and unmarried, had been in the civil serv- ice for several years, and was fully trusted. Nothing has been .earned of his whereabouts since the day of his disappearance. —_— PREACHER PLANNETTE IN THE ASYLUM AGAIN Minister in Whose Path Followed Death and Tragedy Committed in Towa. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7.—Rev. E. E. Plannette, whose arrest here one Sunday night a year ago, after his church service, for stealing potted plants, and subsequent commitment to the Southern California State Hogpital for the Insane at Patton resulted in a tragedy and sensation, has again come before the public. He was released from the institution as cured, but has now been committed to an asylum at Marshall, JTowa. He had preached twice there and his strange pulpit manners led to comment, which made him vio- lent. At Patton Plannette’s wife alleged he received cruel treatment at the hands of Dr. Doland and this brought about the recent investigation which led to Superintendent Doland's dismissal and sudden death at Riverside and the sub- sequent suicide and shortage confession of Secretary Clark. N aid | BODIES STILL AT THE MORGYE Remains of Vietims ‘of the Railroad Accident Not Yet Claimed by Friends INQUEST WILL BE HELD Crew of Train That Killed Mrs. Matheson and Mrs. M. B. Eitten Will Be on Stan(l‘ e e ALAMEDA, Nov. 7.—Thus far none|] of the relatives of Mrs. Leona Mnthe-l son and Mrs. M. B. Eitten, the women who were killed by a South Side local| train last evening, have visited the Morgue, where the bodies lie, to claim the remains. Deputy Coroner James Fowler and ! Dr. J. A. Collinge, the latter of whom: was with the women when they met death, got into communication to-day | with Malcom Matheson, husband of one | of the victims of the fatality, and he was expected to arrive here to-night| from Redding, where he is engaged in mining, but he failed to come. August Matheson of 1741 Russell street, Berke- ley, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Leona \Matheson, informed Deputy Coroner Fowler that his brother would arrange for the disposition of his wife’'s re- mains. 5 Dr. Collinge is endeavoring to locate relatives of Mrs. Eitten in Los Angeles and expects to hear from them to-mor- | row. Coroner H. B. Mehrmann has set the inquest in both cases for Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock. The crew of the train which ran down the women will | be summoned to give evidence, as will | also Dr. Collinge, his son and daughter, who narrowly escaped meeting the fate that befell the two women. Dr. Col- linge is at a loss to explain why Mrs. Matheson and Mrs. Eitten did not hear the train rushing upon them from be- hind. The women were walking close to the track and engaged in conversa- tion when the bumper of the locomo- tive struck them, hurling them both from the track and fracturing their skulls. Percy Collinge, a son of Dr. Collinge, was close to the women when the locomotive struck them, and it was | the impact of their bodies that knocked him to the macadam, causing him to | sustain a fracture of the nose and a | sprained ankle. —_—— Charter Member of Elks Dead.
