and James MCGOWAN. the Republican,
who received the election certifi-
cate and is now holding down chair in
the Assembly chamber. AS soon as the
testimony is all in the record will be sent to
Sacramento to be used in the contest to un-
seat MCGOWAN.
A. j. Clunie appeared for the contestant.
and NJ. A. Dorm for MCGOWAN.
Colonel Thomas F. Barry testified that
when he visited the p0lling-place on Va
llejo street and Montgomery avenue he vas
informed that Repu blican voter had been
allowed, without being sworn, TO ask for
some one to aid him in making out his bal
lot, When The man came out OF his booth
Colonel Barry observed chalk mark On
the lapel Of his coat. This encouraged wit
ness to watch for further Developments
when he observed several voters secure the
aid of Republican clerks in marking bal
lots without first taking the prescribed oath.
The telltale chalk mark witness noticed on
the iapels Of the coats of such voters. lie
protested, whereupon Inspector Hertz used
violent language. and told the police officer
on watch TO throw the colonel out.
Colonel Barry sad lie left before the OIL
Ger could act, but with Attorney A. RUef of
the Non-Partisan organization visited Chief
Crowley, who sent an officer 10 the polling
place to Gust Hertz.
Attorney Ruef cOrroborated The testimony
given by Colonel Barry. and he said that
Hertz, the Republican inspector. seemed TO
be in absolute control OF tile poling-booth
lie marked all the ballots. and when
Democratic inspector attempted TO mark
one Hertz threatened 10 throw him out of
the BOOTH
Mr. Ruef also observed the chalk marks
on the coats of voters who had Republican
clerks mark their ballots.
Registrar Brown aud Deputy Registrar
Lewis produced the tally sheets aud identi-
fed the election returns.
Max Pepper, Garrett MeEneTney and
Michael Byrne also testified IN regard TO the
hlgh-handed methods of Hertz.
ByTne, who was a Democratic inspector,
said he did not interfere with Hertz because
he vas afraid OF his life.
There was a fight between one Rae and
Hertz during which nan named ROsen-

He must evidently be acting from some per-
sonal motive. pique or spite or what not as
he did when he hauled up the Commission
ers at Sacramento and put them on trial for
vandalism.
The trouble may have been with Robin
son because he could not get permission
from the Commissioners to put up studio
IN the valley. | had one there by permis-
sion for several years, and took it down to
prevent any unpleasantness.
As for the charges of vandalism, there
is nothing in them except as to the cutting
oil the avenue from Bernard's to the great
Yosemite falls seven or eight years ago.
That ought not to have been allowed. | do
not say that it was done with the priyity or
encouragement of the commission.
I'm other respects the valley is the same
as 1t was when l visited it thirty years ago
1t Is true that the long grass and summer
flowers have been annually trodden down
Ia the meadows, but this is done by the
crowds of tourists, of whom from 1000 to
5000 pass through each season, to say 10Th
Ing OF the campers. / recollect going
through the valley with Mathews. the pho
tographer, years ago, when all | could see
of him was his own head and that of his
horse Everything else was hidden by the
abundant growth.
LAS to the fencing, don't know Of any
thing new The only place l can think of
is Lemons ranch, and that has always
been fenced to preserve it from the depreda-
tons Of campers
Il certainly think Secretary Mobiles re-
marks an ungenerous reflection on the Gov
ernor of the State and on the Commission
ers. who are body of honorable gen.

the whole matter must have been grossly mis-
represented 10 him by some person or persons
actuated by motives unknown TO me. Whlie
there may have been slight omissions or com
missions hurtiul TO the valley they are certainly
Insignificant in comparison with the merltoFl0us
work performed.
The Comm ssioners complacently state
that ''the United States Senate seems TO
lave paid no further attention to Secretary
Mobiles request for an appropriation to pay
the cost of an investigation and that the
srecial agents of the Interior Department
In the valley came in contact only with
parties who have attained for themselves
heretofore bad eminence as authors of
charges against this board which they failed
to establish when investigated by the Cali
fornia Legislature.
The report admits that 'the costly re-
pairs aud fepainting of the Stoneman House,
the water service made impsratiyely Eeces-
sary, the removal of decayed structures and
building of such new ones as we're required
for the proper administration OF the valley,
and the clearing and road-making In the
valley and grove as q protection against
fire have nearly exhausted the funds at the
disposal Of the commission"
The needed improvements in the valley
generally will. it is estimated, require the
expenditure of at least 100000, the appro-
preparation of which is recommended to the
LEGISLATURE.
