REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL.
Meeting Of the Executive Committee of
the County Committee.

The executive committee of the county
Republican central committee held a
session yesterday morning in the rooms
of the Union League Club.
Fred j. Gilmore, chairman of the
county central committee, called the
meeting to order, and c. w. Pendleton,
the secretary of the committee, read the
call. 1t was in the form of petition,
bearing the requisite number of names
The regular meeting had been called by
Mr.. Gilmore for the 5th of July, but W.
E. Arthur, who was among the petit
TONERS, explained that the extra meet
ing had been called because something
of misunderstanding had arien with
regard to the manner in which the selec-
ton of delegates to the state convention
should be made.
The secretary then called the roll, and
the following were found to be present
Gilmore, Pendleton, Finlayson, Frank
enfield, Cochran, McLain, Summerland,
Wray, Tanner, Dreher, Arthur, Rutan,
Haverstick, Barron, Parker, Owens and
Sutherland.

THE CENSUS TAKERS.
COMPLAINTS REPORTED FROM ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY.
Mr.. Porter Says There is Nothing in
Them-Another Arrest Yesterday-The
Man in Jail-The Neutral Strip.

Supervisor of Census L. E. Moshel
received a telegram from Robert J. Por-
ter, the chief of the bureau, telling him
not to be worried by the "kicking''
which was going on in his district, as
reports of similar sort were coming in
from all over the country. Mr.. Porter
says that the supervisors find when
they come to investigate the complaints
that in nine cases out of ten the people
who declare they have not been counted
are to be found on the books.
Mr.. MOsher has asked that the men
who have been at work in this district
be paid by the day instead of by the
name as was originally planned. None
OF them have made satisfactory wages.
As the men are expected to work very
hard and the job lasts only short time,
it is the intention of the government
that they shall receive about $6 day.
Those who have been at work in this
city have averaged between 50 and So a
day, many of them not making more
than 81 or $3.50.
John j. Freeland, a man 65 wears of
age, who lives at 775 Buena Vista street,
was arrested yesterday for refusal to
answer census questions. Itseems when
the enumerator asked him his name he
answered that he did not know. The
census taker, thinking that he meant to
be obstinate, gave his name in for
arrest. Mr.. Freeland explains his an
swer now by saying that his mother
says that his name is John F. Freeland,
while his father says that it is John B.
Freeland, so that he really is not sure
which is right. In default of $500 bail
Freeland was sent to jail.
The enumerators who are working in
the northwestern section of the city re-
port difficulty in ascertaining whether
people are living inside the city or not.
This is the locality where the boundary
is most uncertain. There appears to be
a sort of neutral strip, piece of land
several miles long and several hundred
feet in width, covered with numerous
houses, the occupants of which, mindful
of the Sanger from the city and county
tax collectors, refuse to state whether
they live in one or the other, and trans
fer the imaginary boundary about to one
side or another to suit their purposes
The people when asked by the census
takers whether they live in the city or
not are unable or unwilling to answer,
and the authorities are rather at loss
to know what to do.
County Clerk Hamilton, of San Diego
writes a very humorous letter to Mr.
Mosher, in which he asks that Mr.
Paine, who was arrested few days age
for refusing to answer questions, be
gently dealt with, as it is CHS frst

The Forester Musicale.

A very enjoyable musicale was given
at the elegant residence of E. A. Forres-
ter, Esq, on Thursday evening by Miss
Katharine Kimball and pupils, assisted
by Miss Carrie Conger, pianist and ac-
companist, and Prof. Stamm and Mr..
Fisher, violinists.
Miss Kimball was in fine voice, as
usual, and sang several selections of
classical music, the closing 'piece de
resistance" being "Non Josie Mista," !"
which showed her flexible voice to adj
vantage, and won her a merited encore,
which she responded to with a little
ballad entitled, ga Life Lesson" The
pupils all did well, and showed by their
efforts the excellent training they are
receiving. The ease and absence of
mannerism were especially noticeable.
Miss Conger is recently from Iowa, a
pupil of Sherwood, of Boston. Her bril-
liant touch and careful rendering of the
difficult "Valse de Conceite" by Lieb-
ling, was enthusiastically encored by
lovers OF good piano music. She responded
with little Spanish dance, very quaint
and pretty. Among those present were :
Professor Stamm, Professor and Mrs. H.
E. Hamilton, Mrs. j. d. Cole, Mr.. and
MIS-. 1dTrdDee, MISS MOllle Auelld
Brown, Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Osgood, Miss
Percival, Miss Boynton, DR.. and Mrs. H.

can central committee, in answer to a
letter of inquiry from General +. p.
johnson. Mr.. Dimond admitted that
the text of the call issued by the execu-
tive committee of the state central COM
mittee was ambiguous, and he advised
that the central committee of the county
should decide for themselves what
course they would pursue.
1t was then decided by vote that pri-
maries should be held to select dele
gates to a county convention, which
should select the delegates to the state
convention.
With regard to apportionment the
following resolution was passed:
Resolyed, That each and every cleo
ton precinct should be entitled to one
delegate and one for every fifty votes,
and one for every fraction of twenty-five
or more votes cast for Harrison and
Morton.
This would make convention of be-
tween $40 and $50 delegates.
Mr. Finlayson moved that commit
tee of five, including the chairman and
secretary, be appointed to formulate a
call, detail a line of work, fix upon
dates for holding the primaries and
county convention, and report to the
committee next Saturday morning. The
motion was carried.
By unanimous consent the committee
was empowered to employ M. R. Hig-
gins and w. S. Moore as experts in the
matter of figuring out the apportion-
ment of delegates.
The chairman then appointed the fol-
lowing on the above committee: j. r.
Finlayson, chairman; R. Wray, Theo-
dore Summerland, George McLain and
Mr.. Tanner of Santa Monica. On motion
of Mr.. Summerland, Robert Owen was
added to the committee.
The committee then adjourned until
next Saturday morning. The next
meeting will be held at the rooms of the
Lincoln Club, at the corner of Main and
Requena streets.
1t is quite generally considered that
the effect of the action of the committee
in the matter of the method of selecting
delegates to the state convention will be
be demoralize, if not to obliterate, the
opposition to Markham's candidacy
which exists in this county. 1t will now
be possible for the Markham men to Sc
cure solid delegation, which probably
could not have been obtained had the
delegates been chosen directly at the
primaries.
