A trip to Alum Rock Park and the Ostrich Farm entertained those who were not engaged on the convention floor during the afternoon. At a late hour this evening Mrs. J. D. Gibbs of Los Angeles, the chairman of the nominating committee, stated that the members of the committee had labored all the afternoon with Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, the State president, to accept a | second nomination for the office of presi- | dent, but their efforts had been in vain. Mrs. Cowles declined finally to serve an- other term, although the committee as- sured her that her nomination in the event of her acceptance would be unani- | mous. “I have never been a candidate for re- election,” was Mrs. Cowles’ reply to the committee, “and I am not a candidate now.” With the name of Mrs. Cowles removed from the presidential list speculation is rife as to who her successor will be. The members of the nominating commfttee are non-committal further than to de- clare that the honor will go to a repre- sentative of the central portion of the State. Los Angeles will not seek recog- nition_en the ticket this year, although the office of treasurer was offered to Mrs. J. W. Hendricks of that city afid de- clined. The report of the nominating committee will be filed as scon as the session is called to order to-morrow morning. A member of the committee stated to-night: “We do not look for any serious con- tests to-morrow. In fact this committee has had to seek the candidates in many instances. 1 believe that the federation will have an entire new set of officers for the coming year.” ———— ENDS DEBAUCH BY LEAPING INTO RIVER FROM A BRIDGE Liquor Crazed Sacramentan Dives Into locality | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9. 1906.

The case was instituted by the A. P. Hotaling Company of San Francisco as the result of the failure of Weger to settle with the firm when he left fheir employment as a traveling representative. The complaint was filed here October 17 of last year and Weger was brought in court October 25. The preliminary examination was not held until November 10. The mat- ter was then taken under advisement by the Justice, and after three months he has finally ruled on the evidence and dismissed the charge. Weger's politi- cal and fraternal friends rallied to his support at the time of his arrest and nothing has been left undone in an ef- fort to prevent his being held for the alleged offense. i ?

This action eounds the knell of one of the oldest volunteer fire departments in Call- fornia.

Realty It Needs Fis SR S SACRAMENTO, Feb. 8.—Several im- portant moves were made by the West- ern Pacific Railroad Company to-day toward securing a foothold in Sacra- mento. Applications were made to the City Trustees for a franchise for a branch road along the river front, to be used for freighting purposes, and suits were begun in the Superior Court to c?ndemn such property as had not been' bonded for this purpose. More- over, it developed that the Western Pa- cific had bonded property through the very heart of the residence section of the city, from northern to southern boundaries, to enable it to run its main line, which will connect Stockton with Marysville. The people are considerably excited over the assured advent of the Western | Pacific and the disposition is evident to give the new company every en- couragement to enter the city, but the property-owners were hardly prepared for the announceément that the company | intended to cut directly through the city and it is not improbable that much opposition to this move will appear. For several days past Western Pacific agents have been quletly bonding a strip eighty feet wide running {hrough the center of every block in the city between Nineteenth and Twentleth It was declared to-night that | streets. of the forty-five owners satisfactory terms had been reached with forty and condemnation suits would be brought against those who were not willing to sell. The company in every known in- stance gave the property-owners the price they asked, depositing 10 per cent to bind the bargain. In several cases, however, it appears property was | bonght outright. An entire block in practically the center of the town, de- | geribed as 1 and J, Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, has been bonded and | it .is stated that it will be used as a site for a large stone passenger depot. Besides this strip, agents of the Western Pacific have bonded a line of property running between Q and R streets, from Twentieth westward to the river front. This will be occupied by a spur track to accommodate the freight trafic. The Western Pacific has purchased the Clunie warehouse, on the river front below R street, and it will there build a freight depot to be fully 360 feet long. The franchises asked for to-day call for the privilege of paralleling the Southern Pacific lines along the river’ front and to enjoy the wharfage facilities possessed by that corporation. —_— FORENSIC WAR NEARS CLOSE. Arguments in the Rallroad Case Are Coming to an End. The arguments in the railroad case be- fore Circuit Court Judge W. W. Morrow are nearing an end. Attorney J. F. Vaile closed for the Western Pacific yesterday morning, and to-day Judge John CGarber will use up in conclusion the hour ~that is left to the BSouthern Paciflc. Vaile terminated his remarkable foren- sic effort to break down the doctrine of accretion by a summary of the argu- ments for his side. In this summary he clatmed that the water boundary of tNe Southern Pacific was the low-water line of 1852; that there had been no accre- tions; that if there had been, the doctrine of accretions was a vaglable one and not in force in California; that by the na- ture jof its grant the Southern Pacific had no right of access to deep water, and that the case put forward by the Southern Pacific was one to grant title and hence not within the jurisdiction of a court in equity. Peter F. Dunne took up the remaining three hours of the day for the Southern Pacific. He applled himself to the re- establishing of the doctrine of accretion, which, after Vaile’s ferocious onslaught, was in great need of succor, and then to the support of the claim of access to deep water. His plea was remarkable in its elegance and crystal-Wke clearness,\ and he was warmly congratulated by his opponents when he had finished. Vaile, being through with his big effort, was feeling somewhat jocose and in that spirit interrupted several times, but Dunne showed himself the master at par- ries of wit. Once when Dunne was cit- ing a case which he before had termed “dead and buried,” Vaile shouted, “This is a resurrection, then,” ‘“No,” answered Dunne, “the dead is-dead; this is merely a materialization for my own purpose.” Throughout the day an undeniable feeling of cordiality had existed between the rival attorneys, so that Dunne's final peroration upon the odiousness of West- ern, Pacific methods seemed rather mel- odrama than tragedy. “They come to you,” he sald, addressing the court, “with a shotgun possession, palpably earanc C S AL E Furniture THE BIGGEST VALUES WE HAVE EVER OFFERED These values should be seen to be appreciated—note these few specimen reductions : ; Liying 4 , HALL CHAIR e ain] | . davfoot| REE: Now| b | 4 Roud br. owiotigies 78 | emuly back | .8 !
