DOUBLE VICTORY.
Oakland Given It's Water
Front.
Rejoicing Across the Bay Because the
Waterfront Bill Has Passed
the Legislature.

The Oakland waterfront question is
settled. and the Oakland election had
nothing to do with it.
The city gets it in trust from the State
and is to have complete jurisdiction over it.
The W. R. Davis bill was passed yester-
day, making such conditions the law.
In spite of the election excitement Oak
land people took coguizance of this and had
time to rejoice little. forgetting about the
contest as to who should be Mayor in order
to shake hands and congratulate one an
other on the city'S good fortune.
The act is TO take effect Immediately.
The bill was substli ute measure, drafted
by x-MayOr w. r Davis, TO take the tlace
of the original bill introduced by Attorney
General Hart
1t was introduced by Assemblyman Dodge
anu put on the urgency file, whence ii was
unanimously passed.
Senator Earl and Assemblymen Dodge
and Iaggart have been working hard to
have the measure adopted since the begin
ming nf the present session.
1t has been finally decided to remove the
Wentworth boot and shoe factory TO Santa
Rosa. A subsidy has been given by the
Santa Rosa people in order to secure the
removal. 1t is the purpose to establish
tannery in connection with the factory.
The loss will be considerably felt in West
Oakland, as it will throw about seventy
five men out of employment.
Arrangements are making for finishing
the plan for the extension of Broadway to
Contra Costa County. The immediate plan
is 10 continue the extension to a point
opposite Councilman Macdonald's property
and thence on a tTestie to the hills opposite.
The trestle alone will cost fully $4,000.
The work Of grading will cost as much
more.

Before o'clock yesterday the exhibition
had received several additions, all OF which
were up to the former standard Of excel
lence.
The members of the club have all prom
ised TO contribute one piece of work, No
member is supposed to contribute more than
two, but Miss Phillips had been present in

Mrs. Becht brought charming comfort.
The design consisted OF groups OF pale vel
low Marechal Mel roses, blended with soma
wild flowers, the blossoms of which we're
white and starry. Both the drawing and
the colQring OF this design were very much
admired.
1t is expected that at the Worlds Fair the

about fifty pieces. Judging by the work
already on exhibition the display will be a
most interesting and arts site one

The election in Oakland resulted in
complete Non-Partisan victory.

they won.
The tide of clean government had set in,
and 1t could not be turned.
The city has broken away from its reign
of bosses and is now free.
Let her glory in her emancipation.
The old parties are demoralzed.
The honest electorate of Oakland has
Jumped on ring rule with both feet and
trodden It deep in the mud.
There let it remain in the Shiny grave it
deserved years ago.
Oakland's future has in a day grown
brighter, and her citizens look joyfully at
the prospect before them.
Good and trustworthy public officials have
been chosen by them, aud honest adminis-
istratIon of public affairs has just begun in
the city across the bay.
Tue new system of voting was pronounced
by ali the law-abiding citizens a great sue
cess.
By It the boodlers and ringsters were de-
ieated at every turn, and a free and intelli-
gent choice was assured.
The weather was all that could be desired
and could not have been better had it been
made to order
a steady stream of voters fled into the
booths all day long, and every elector was
given ample opportunity TO mark his ballot

''How much does this cost?" asked another
spectator, taking up tiny porcelain cup,
with the air of one who was prepared to
make sacrifices to secure possession of it.
The cup was not for sale, and the girl
pat it down with a sigh, evidently thinking
that tea would taste twice as good from
such dainty bit OF porcelain.
The colOriDg was so chaste and refresh
ing-cnol, fragrant-loOking, purple vioIets
on white background, with just enough
gold TO give richness to the design.
The cup was painted by Nine. Sargeu-
dorf. and with all the other pieces in the
exhibit is 10 grace the California depart

pretty marine view, with bit OF brown
cliff and stretch of green fields. The col
orng is very sublued and pleasing, and the
whole design is effective.
The jardniere DY Miss Herrlck, is par
ticularly good piece of work. On the
Roughly finished cream-colored china are
painted sprays of La France roses that will
bear close inspection and also have good
effect from the distance. The rough gild-
ing is very artistic, and while the finish of
the vase somewhat resembles DOutOn, it
cannot be called an imitation of that ware.
The trailing arbutus on Mrs. GuptePS cup
and saucer is delightful bit of china paint
ing. The pink blossoms are so beautifully
finished, and the green leaves, especially
those on the cup. are worthy II individual
study.
The tall vase by Mrs. NJ. E. eastman is
large and ambitious piece of work. The
figure in the empire gown that occupies one
side OF the vase Is pretty and dainty looking
and the coloring is very refreshing and
pleasant.
Miss J. E. Hobbs boutonniere is a little
gem. The groundwork is principally gold.
At each of the four sides tive-poiuted star,
of sapphire color, bears cupid's head. The
lid of the boutonEiere is pale blue merging

Vatican style-a style always peculiarly
adapted to china painting.
Flower designs are at each side of the
figures. the fOrget-me-nots and the eosmus,
the pansies and all the other blossoms being
blended so as to form a wonderfully rich
and harmonious coloring. The coffee-pot is
completed by rich arabesques in gold.

An YESTERDAY afternoon a stream Of people

All yesterday afternoon stream of people,
interested in art, flOeked TO Nathan g. Dohr-

the exhibition of the San Francisco Ceramic
Club for the Worlds Fair, and when they
saw it. their faces generally assumed
hungry and disappointed look.
This was not because the pottery was
below the standard of the spectators expec-
tations. On the contrary. the little there
was to be seen, was of so excellent quality
that they hungered for more.
''Why is not all the exhibit here?" asked
one visitor plaintively, as she gazed with

ADMITTED HIS GUILT.
A. D. Adams Was Hired to Vote for
Fitzgerald.


A. D. Adams, who was engaged by the
Western Union Telegraph Company as
cook and waiter in the workmen's quarters
at the Point was arrested about o'clock
P. NJ. by Deputy Constable Williams for
trying to vote illegally at the polling place
of the Third Precinct of the Sixth Ward.
When arrested Adams was marking his
ticket. having given his address as the

As the hotel is directly over the polling

had given false address, and he was placed
under arrest.
just previous to his attempt to vote he
was seen by the officers talking to a man
who gave him some money, and when asked
his name in the polling-place he gave the
name OF Adj j. S;ranhan.
When seen at the City Prison after his
arrest Adams made a clean breast of his
guilt, admitting that he was not a
registered voter and did not live in the
city. de said he had been approached
by man whom he did not know, while
near the pOlling-place, and told that if he
would vote for Fitzgerald he would be paid
well and run no risk of detection, Dut de-
MES that he received any money.
John Winthrop, the man who bribed
Adams to vote his way. was arrested at 10
P. NJ. and charged with brbing voter. he

HOW THE DAY WENT.

The Bosses Early Combined to Save a
Crushing Defeat.
Anything to beat PardeeP'
That was the battle-cry of the bosses.
The Republicans knitted Barker, their can
ddate for Mayor, and jIined forces with
Democrats to elect Fitzgerald.
The polls had been opened couple OF
hours before this course was fully decided
upon.
That short time was sufficient to show
the machine politicians that their cause was
Overwhelmingly lost unless a com bination
vas made.
George C. Pardee and the whole Nom
Partisan ticket commenced to poll big vote
as soon as the booths were opened.
First came the mechanics who wanted to
get in their vote before going to work at z
o'clock.
The mechanics were to a man for honest
government and fully supported the Nom
Partisan ticket
Then came the business men of San Fran
cisco. who recorded their votes before taking
the train for business.
They were all well-known to be Pardee
men. and as their votes went into the boxes
the bosses considered their chances of win
ming the election pretty slim indeed.
Something had to be done. and that
quickly.
A balf-formed plan had been considered
some days TO join forces II the Non-Parti-
sans proved to be too strong at the opening
Of the polls
This plan was hurrieily formulate d. and
before another hour had gone by the bench
men of both parties were working together
for Fitzgerald for Mayor and the rest Of the
Democratic ticket.
Another reason for this change Of tactics
was that all the four or five hundred men
who were rung In as voters on the certlfi-
cate plan we're knocked cut.
Since the closing OF the register fifteen
days age the County Clerks Office had been
thronged with alleged voters who had been
unable to get on the list. asking for certifi-
Gates emitting them to the franchise.
These, Of course. were granted, and wben

This denial was in accordance with the
act recently adopted by the Legislature.
At other Doling-places the certificates
we're accepted by the judges. These judges

knew what they were doing.
As soon as this movement became known
the Non-Psrtisans made strong efforts to
stop 1t.
A copy Of the act had no effect on the
judges. who wanted ali with certificates to
come In and vote as quickly as possible.
