THE POTRERO FEUD.
A Denial That Jim WeIch Is Expected
to Arrive Here.


to Arrive Here.
Hostilities between the McMauus and
Welch factions in the Potrero have ap-
parently been suspended and all was quiet
yesterday. How long the truce will last is
unknown, and the police still fear a re-
newal of h0stlities at any moment and
have taken all precautions in their power.
An attempt will be made by his brothers In
few days to remove Jack Welch from ST.
Mary's Hospital, where he now is, to his
home, as he is said to be improving rapidly.
Should this be done, more trouble may be
the result, as the feeling between the two
factions is still very bitter.
Frank McManuS, alias the King, has been
drinking heavily the past few days. de

was on his road home
de states he noticed some men acting
suspiciously near the bridge and when he
moved tOY ard them they disappeared.
Later, when the cab in which McManus
was seated came along they ran after il, but
were easily distanced when the driver
whipped up his horses.
The Naich boys denied TO reporter yes
teTday the statement made in the papers
that James Welch was on his way to this
city to take R hand III the fight. They say
il Is absurd that he should travel several
thousand miles to assist them as he has no
interest in the affair and has his own bust
ness affairs TO attend to. Sergeant of Police
Benuet of The POtTerO station is inclined TO
think that he will come to this city quietly
without letting any one know Of the fact, t

more trouble the present force Of three men
stationed there would be wholly inadequate

DUP0NT-STREET WIDENING.
Another General Attack on the Legalit
of the Act.

Another General Attack on the Legality
of the Act.
David Hunter and very large number Of
property owners affected by the Dupont
street widening act have entered suit
against the Tax Collector to enjon him
from selling their lands on that and cross
streets for delinquent taxes for any fiscal
year, claiming that the leyies are Illegal.
Upon the application Judge Levy issued a
restraining order, upon the filing of bond
in The sum Of $500, and the matter was set
for July fer hearing the argument why
the Injunction should not be made perpetual.
1t is stated that the levy for the fiscal
year 1922 Will be assailed on the ground
that it was not made at the time prescribed
by law and that the Tax Collector did not
advertise the delinquent list at the time re-
quired by law. Some doubt has existed in
the Tax Collectors Office as to the time this
particular delinquent aX-list should be adj
veTtised this year, and lawyers are divided
in opinion as to whether or not the list
should have been advertised in February
or May.
The general scope Of the complaint is
such that every levy of each and every
year vii be called IN question. 1t is par
ticularly claimed that the levies made for
the fiscal years of 1879 aud 1850 and 1880 and
1881 and several other years are absolutely
void, as the Mayor did not. sign the orders
for making them until several days after
the Supervisors had made the orders.
The question of the validity of the act has
been decided in the affirmative by the Su-
preme Court of the United States, but this
action questions the mode Of procedure
under the act

their advantage 2
Another prominent member Of the COM
mttee who strongly fsvors the candidacy of
Max Pepper for the chairmaDship was seen
yesterday and made the following state
ment TO a CALL reporter:
There are three candidates for the chair
manshIp Of our State Central Committee,
John II. Wise, j. +. Sullivan and Max
Poup'T, but the considerations of these
parties are inconSiderable beside the inter-
ests OF the whole Democratic party, which
are being neglected. 1t may be very agree
able 10 Judge Sullivan to have the
Democracy OF California remain in a sort Of
comatOSe condition until he sees fit to re-
turn and awaken il, but il will be a sad day
for the party when it recognizes that its
existence ceases with the absence of any
single Nan from the State.
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CHARACTER.
Il support The candidature Of Max Pop
per because he is experienced, his character
public and private is beyond criticism. He
is energetic, he belongs to no faction or
clique that could prejudice him against any
man. He has always been a robust Cleve-
land man aud an enthusiastic tariff re-
former. He Is acquainted with the COM
mittees throughout the State and the
recognized leaders in avery section, and en-
joys their good VIII, all Of which is vital TO
q successful campaign.
&" II has been charged that Pepper was
too close to Buckley to make a suitable
chairman of the committee. But until
Buckley abdicated every one who partici-
pated directly or indirectly 10 San Fran
cisco Democratic politics did so only on
the sufferance Of Buckley.
Buckley's power was absolute in San
Francisco politics when j. +. Sullivan was
himself nominated for the bench, but the
boss personality has disappeared. So,
even cOnceding the truth of the charge that
Pepper is favorable to Buckley, the charge
is absolutely deprived Of its efficacy or
meaning. 1t is not against dead boss
that the public must fight, but against new
bosses who seek 20 rise in his place clothed
in the mantle of virtue.
Pepper was never a candidate for office
and never sought b. handle the patronage
of public Offices. The street-sweeping con-
tract which he holds he obtained bv under
bidding bis competitors. and he still retains
1t under a Republican government by the
same means, he being the lowest bidder"
