An exhibition of stubbornness is just now
being made by the Board Of Supervisors
aud the directors os the Alameda County
Worlds Fair Association. AS conse-
quence. there will be no exhibition by Ala
media County at the preliminary Worlds
Fair show in San Francisco next week. The
din IaOtOrs and Supervisors are too busy at
tending to their own ridiculous little show
to pay any attention TO the rights of the
county in the matter.
I'VE want an appropriation in order to
take our products to the Pavilion next
week, say the directors.
You appoint the manager we want and
you may have the money" retOrt the Super
vSors.
Several weeks ago w. II. O'Bren was
elected manager OF the county exhibit to be
made al Chicago, but j. a. Colquhoun was
also a candidate and had the Endorsement of
the Supervisors. All the directors were not
present when O'Brien was chosen and the
Supervisors have been dissatisfied ever
since, insisting that CoIquhoun shall be
given the place There have been several
consultations but each side has refused to
yield.
Yesterday the Supervisors were asked for
$500 with which to take the county exhibit
To San francisco. but they refused 1t. The
salaries OF the officers are In arrears and the
manager and his assistants have nothing to
do except 10 Sit and fume among the accu-
mutation of county specimens that have
been gathered at the Eighth-street head
quarters.
The fight is bitter one and is attracting
universal attention. Some OF the directors
OF the board are IN favor of COlquhoun, and
II I continues there is likely TO be an inter-
nal rupture.
Manager OBriep, unwilling 10 be van
pushed, Is trying to keep things moving as
smoothly as possible till January 3, when
new board of directors will be chosen,
which will In some manuer settle the diff
Guilty and get some money.
There has been mystery about the dis
appearance OF Gus Sullivan since the as
sault upon Officer McCrimmons. Sullivan
had been arrested and handeutfed, but some
OF his pals VINO were members OF the Fist
gang rescued him, nearly beating MeCrm-
mons to death. None OF them could be
Identified and Sullivan was spirited away,
so that the police were entirely baflled. 1t
has now been learned that he went to Ia
coma, and, becoming hungry, tried TO COM
NIT robbery. He was arrested. and the
the Oakland police will have him brought
back on requisition papers. He was a
southern Pacific swiichman and escaped in
a freightcaT.
The impenetIable j. p. Dameron smiled
sGsyely for The st time in several months
yesterday, when he explained that he only
wanted the waterfront suit continued as a
matter OF convenience TO Mr.. Brown, attor-
ney for the Waterfront Company. He
really didn't mean anything beyond that,
be said. and when he t3ld the court that the
case was never likely to 60 on he simply
meant that the Water fI ont Company might
back down after the decision in the water
| front case. He deuied that he had sold out
10 the corporation without the knowledge
Of the other defendants.
The truth is" said Mr.. Dameron, 81 may
be candidate for United States Senator. 1
| intend TO 20 TO Sacramento to make a fight
| for the office. and TO get time to do this was
another reason why l wanted the case con-
tnued."
Mr. DamerOn is a spiritualist. together
| with several other things and his proceeding
| In court is regarded only an outbreak of
| his peculiar genius. Ben Morgan, one OF the
| attorneys, says that Dameron acted without
| authority and that the case must so on un-
| less the plain tiff sees fit TO dismiss. 1t will
| come up Oh January D.
