Campbell told the new bailiff that Bash

had threatened to use his revolver In court

The weapon was finally taken away from
him by a pawnbroker and he walked to
the corner of Clay ami Merchant streets,
where he leaned against building.
Mcnamara turned the corner, and after
few moments conversation Bashford
placed his hand on his successors shout
der apd together they proceeded down
Merchant street 10 Phil Dolan's saloon
and entered. DOlan'S IS a resort for Po-

reeled no the street TO telegraph pole.
Bood was streaming from his face ana

against The pole for moment, tum oled
and fell upon his back. He was dying,
and i've minutes later breathed his last IN
the patrol wagon.
Mcnamara gave himself up and was
booked for murder in the prison opposite
the saloon. He said that when Bashford
met him at the corner The ex-bailiff was
abusive. 'but | pacitied him and asked him

Dolan and his barkeeper refused TO tell
how the shooting occurred, but it is be-

other, also a girl. after wild career in

Ing at present. Bashford jnined the Saliva
ton Army several years ago and for some
time attended church regularly. 1t was
then that Judge Campbell took an 10 ierest
in him and Mrs. Campbell took charge of
his daughter.
The wound in his abdomen was the
cause of his death. His body was dotted
with wounds made by the hypodermic
needle.
Mcnamara is 80 years of age and has

PRESS RECEPTION.
An Enjoyable Event at the Califor-
MIA Hotel.


The Women's National Press Associ-
alton of Washington, D. c., held recep-
ton at the California Hotel yesterday
evening. The reception was given as a
slight return for the many courtesies the
members of the delegation have received
from the press and friends in California,
particularly in San Francisco.
Among those represented at The recep-
ton were delegations from the Women s
Congress, the Women's Press Association
of San Francisco. the Laurel Hill Club
and Equal Rights Club.
The handsome parlors OF the hotel were
especially decorated for the occasion, and
during the course of the evening refresh
ments were served. The attendance was
quite large and an enjoyable evening was
spent by those attending. The reception
committee consisted of: President, Mrs
Mary 5. Lockwood, secretary; Mrs. STEM
don, and Mrs. Johanna Turner. During
the course of the evening a number of
speeches were made on journalistic sub
iects.

any oneselse you appoint" Bashford re-
piled.
No one else was appointed and Judge
Campbell said that lie had made the
threat to brighten the bailiff into good be-
havior. Bash:ord's behavior did not i'm
prove. He drank heavily and again be-
gan to use the hypodermic syringe. Camp
bell became exasperated by his conduct
two months ago and suspended him for
thirty days. Bashf0rd was very angry and
threatened to Kill the Judge II he was not
reinstated. When the days of his punish
ment were over he called for and received
the salary which he had not earned.
He next appeared as one of the charac-
tiers in the latest Police Court scandal,
which grew out of the robbery of men
who had been punished for drunkenness.
Il was charged that he and Barney
Hug hes, janitOr of the old hall, obtained
money from men who had been arrested
for drunkenness by telling them that if
they paid a certain amount the case
against them would be dismissed, when
tue fact was that the cases had been dis
missed at the time. Hughes confessed his
guilt and was discharged by the Board of
Supervisors. Bashlord denied that he had
any hand in the drunk rolling" bust
ness, and so fari as is known was never
called TO account by Campbell.
The bailitf was very drunk last Saturday
morning, aud Campbell then announced
that he was done with Bashford and would
appoint his successor on Monday. In a
towering passion Bashford left the build
ing, and returned with a loaded revolver
swearing that be would kill Judge Camp
bell, Prosecuting Attorney Reed and Clerk
Vernon. He staggered about the CORR
doris, and boosted that be had already
slain three men. and that he would make
short work of his enemies in the court
room.
EFrom the hall Bashford went to the
saloons of the eighborhood that had been
favored with his patronage, and in them
he repeated his threats against the Judge
and the officers of his court. Late in the
afternoon he fell asleep in Patrick Nc
DonOugh's saloon at the corner of Clay
and Kearny street and The revolver was
taken from him. Little was seen of him
OF Sunday. but on Monday he reappeared
at the hall. and again declared that he
would Kill his successor.
Judge Campbell heard of Bashford's
conduct, but paid no heed to his threats.
His successor was appointed and Only

of one of the emperors invented the art of
spinning and weaving silk. In japan the
art Of making figures in relief in meta
was invented by woman, maker of
bronze lamps.
In the nineteenth century-the woman's
century-we find how education has devel-
oped their powers OF invention.
Among the instances which the speaker
Quoted was that Of Frenchwoman who
invented machine that will cut anything,
from pOrtcullis to pin. A catalogue OF
the inventions which women have patented
IN the United States was also alluded To,
the speaker emphasizing how rapidly the
number of female inventors is increasing.
1.-The first invention patented by woman
was in 1909 and it was covering for the
head. We ought not 10 wonder at this, for
from the days of st. Paul women have had

from scientific standpoint of women's

1T TAKES A THIEF TO CATCH A
THIEF.
The Republican pot can with but
little consistency call the Democratic
kettle black. The senate committee
handling tie Wilson tariff bill have
been charged with so manipulating
the sugar item of the bill as to allow
largo opportunity for speculation
and in some way it is alleged that tips
have been given which show that the
Democrats on the senate committee
have been making pot Of money on
sugar. While we believe this base
calumDy on the Democratic members
of the committee we can readily see
that if it were true it is directly in the
line of morals practiced by the Repub-
lican party for the last 30 years. 1t is
an open secret that when the com
mittee having in charge the Mckinley
| bill was fixing the amount OF the tariff
upon each of the articles of American
manufacture, that each of the manu- =
facturers fixed the amount of the tariff
upon each of their respective articles
of manufacture, with the full under
standing that each of them was to pay
certain per centage of tre
profits derived from the tariff
upon the goods that they were COM
peting with brought here from foreign
markets, or in other words, the manu-
facturer of woollen goods obligated
himself to pay one-third or perhaps
one-half of the profit he derived from
the tariff levied upon woolen goods to
the national executive committee of
the Republican party, the money to
be used for campaign purposes.
When such system of morals, or
minerals, such an absolute theft from
the pockets of the laboring classes of
the people, was inaugurated and ex-
listed in this country for more than I.
quarter of a century by the Republic
can party in the congress of the United
States, how can the Republican party
blame the Democratic senators for a
little side speculation on sugar, which
is not really a fact, but another tigura-
tive speculation of Republican jour
mails. The Republicans seem to be
governed by the idea that when they
are compelled to be honest they
are going to be exceedingly
honest, or rather they are going to
make the other fellows who happen to
be in power the most honest
officials that this country has
ever had in power. If the
Republicans can't steal themselves
they are determined that the Demo
Gratis shall not steal Well, as it takes
Il thief to catch a thief, we are content
that Republicans are ON guard in this
respect. Certainly, they know the
ropes and about the only service and
usefulness they can give to the country
hereafter is to use their past expert
eure to keep the Democrats from
stealing.

The Regatta Assured.

The committee having in charge.
the giving of the regatta reported
yesterday that it was assured. They
have not been able to carry out their
purpose of making it free show, but
it will be given with only a sufficient
entrance fee, charged to secure suffi-
Gent money to cover all expenses.
The committee realizes that business
is dull just now, and that great
many subscription papers have been
going the rounds. They have secured
about halt enough cash for regatta ex-
penses, and the gate fees must do the
rest. The committee will guarantee
all the prizes to the Oarsmen and will
issue to ali who have subscribed to the
fund free admission tickets.
The oarsmen are getting very inn
patient about the matter, and not less
chan three kilograms about the regat-
Ia were received from Gaudaur yester-
day. But now the question is settled
the regatta is an assured thing, and
Austin will have great sport again
on her lake.
