a stranger in Napa. He was taken to the
infirmary this afternoon, where he can re-
ceive proper care.

General Friedrich Will Call

JEFFERSON CHANDELIERS VIEW
He Thinks the Next Republican Con.
vention Will Be Held in
This City.

The various delegates selected by the
committees are making all necessary pre-
parations to get away IN time to be in
Washington on the first of December.
about Monday, will first visit Lis friend,
General Friedrich, who will leave here
William o. Bradley, Governor-elect of
Kentucky. Governor Bradley is also one
of the Republican National committee
men, and General Friedrich, having been
a schoolmate of that gentleman, feels sure
of his assistance in the National Commit
tee when it meets in Washington on the
10th of December. There are other States
in the South that have not yet been ap-
preached by the representatives of any
city, but they will be handled later.
There is no reasonable doubt of the in
creasing strength of this City over Pitts
burg, and when the votes are ready to be
received by the National Committee it
need not surprise the people of the coast to
learn that San Francisco is the chosen
city. Secretary Litchfeld of the finance
committee is assured by the most SUBJ
stantial business men of this City that all
the money necessary to suit the National
Committee when it is called for will be
forthcoming.
At last nights meeting of the Republican
Executive Council of the State of Cali
fornia the prospects of this City were dis
cussed in a roundabout way, and it was
the general impression that we have more
than a fighting show for success.

1T SHOULD COME HERE.

Jefferson Chandler Says There Is Strong
Sentiment Fororing This City.
Jefferson Chandler of Washington D. c.,
who is widely known in legal and political
circles, was among the arrivals here last
night. Mr.. Chandeliers health has not
been very good for some time, and for
few weeks he has been staying in Los
Angeles for his health. He is very enthu-
siastic in regard to the holding of the
next National Republican Convention in
San Francisco.
81 believe the convention can be brought
here" he said at the Palace. "By all the
conditions it ought to come here, and with
little more effort am convinced it will
come. The rumor that San Francisco may
possibly not have the telegraph facilities
for transmitting the news ought to have
no weight. The City certainly has the
facilities. 1t would be a great thing for
both the East and the West for the con-
vention to come here. The Eastern Sena-
tors and Congressman know almost moth
ing of the country west of the Missouri
River. Many of them have never been
west of that point. 1t would broaden and
otherwise instruct them to have the con-
vention here, and it would vastly aid Cali
fornia and all the other coast States.
"This City has done remarkably well in
raising so large sum as an inducement.
l don't see how the National Committee
can do otherwise than accept the condi-
tons and come here. Certainly it ought
to be brought to San Francisco if it comes
west of Chicago, and as for the latter city,
it has had it already often enough, as the
East, as a whole, has had.
"There is growing sentiment along the
Atlantic Coast in favor Of third-termism.
1t is stronger there, of course, than in the
West"
Mr.. Chandler says he has come to San
Francisco merely on some private busi-
ness, and not for any political purpose. II
hope, however, to see San Francisco get
the convention, and will do anything
can to aid it

What May Result From the
Underwriters Fire Pa.
troll War.
THE SYSTEM SHALL CONTINUE.
Insurance Men at Loggerheads Over
the Support of the Prop.
erty Savers.

There is no doubt but what there will be
an interesting meeting OF the insurance
agents and underwriters to-day. The
question to be discussed is whether or not
the Fire Patrol system should be main
tanned or abandoned. AS published in
THE CALL yesterday the late rate war
among the insurance men and the disrup-
ton of the insurance union caused q gem
eral smash-up in insurance circles. So
bitter was the feeling that fifteen compa-
MES withdrew their support from the Fire
Patrol.
The forty-eight who are still contribut-
ing feel that the burden of supporting the
patrol is falling too heavily upon them,
and at a meeting of the directors held on
Wednesday there was a disposition mani
fest to abandon the patrol system, unless
all of the insurance agents assist in its
support. In order that the agents may de-
eide as to whether or not the Fire Patrol
all continue to exist meeting was
| called for this morning, when the fate OF
the patrol will be decided
1t is not thought likely that the Fire
Patrol system will be abolished altogether
in any event, although the scope of its use
fulness may be less extensive than at
present.
The insurance agents are all at SKIES and
sevens on the situation, and their tempera-
ments range all the way from mild in
difference to bitter hatred. AS result,

Another Attempt Will Be Made
to Impeach Mrs, Leaks
Testimony.
sPENcER's STRANGE STORY.
Mr.. Dickinson's Motion for New Trial
To-Day Will Offer to Show New
Evidence.

This morning at 10 o'clock is the time
set for imposing the sentence OF death
upon w. H. T. Durrant for the murder OF
Blanche Lamont in the belfry of Emman-
uel Church. 1t is not thought, however,
that sentence will be pronounced to-day,
for the reason that Mr.. Dickinson's motion
for new trial will take precedence and
must be passed upon first.
MIR. Dickinson's motion will probably
take some time in arguing, for it is based
not only upon rather lengthy bill OF ex-
ceptions taken during the progress of the
long trial, but also contains atfidavits
claiming that new evidence has been dis
covered.
Gin general way we hope to show that
the positive testimony of Mrs. Leak, which
proved to be such a strong link in the
chain of circumstantial evidence" said
Mr. Dickinson twas to a greater or less
degree prompted by the police. 1t can be
shown that before her testimony in court
she affirmed positively that she did not
know who entered the church with Blanche
Lamont. f. J. Spencer is an important
witness to that effect, and l suggest that
he tell his own story.
AGAIN there is the statement of Mrs.
Monier. She saw Durrant enter the
church alone, yet certain influences were
brought to bear which later on caused her
TO become very much confused in her
dates We have evidence to substantiate
all this, and it will be introduced at the
proper time"
f. ]. Spencer. the man referred to by
Mr.. Dickinson, is native of England, but
during the past sixteen months has resided
in this City. He has been regular at
tendant at Emmanuel Church, and knew
Durrant almost intimately.
MRS. Leak visited my home" said he
yesterday. "She spent the day there. At
that time she stated positively that she
did not know whether Durrant was the
man she saw enter the church with
Blanche Lamont or not

THE ASHWORTH TRIAL,
Testimony Regarding the Pave
ment on ElwoOd Ave.
nue..
Explanations as to the Broderick.
Street Sewer-A Question
of Contracts.

The AShwOrth case was once more be-
fore Judge Murphy yesterday, the princi-
pal witness being Ernest Mccullough, the
consulting engineer of the Merchants As
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Mccullough, with George w. Elder,
George T. Gaden and another gentleman,
had gone to Elwood avenue and inspected
the bituminous pavement which had been
laid there and was subsequently accepted
by the Superintendent of Streets. This
pavement forms one of the causes for re-
moval mentioned in the Indictment
Mr.. Mccullough testified that the party
he was with had cut five holes in the
crown of the pavement. In four of these
holes the pavement was found to be an
inch and quarter in thickness and in the
fifth it was three-quarters of an inch. The
specifications called for coating of btu
minous rock three inches in thickness.
One of the pieces taken from the roadway
was held for evidence. Mr.. Mccullough
had affixed his signature to it, and then
it was placed in a sack and Mr.. Gaden
sealed the whole thing up. In that condi-
ton 1T was produced in court. Mr.. Nc
Cullough identified the seal and the sack,
and then it was opened.
A thin, brittle piece OF bituminous pave
ment was drawn from the sack by Mr..
Black. 1t was about eleven inches square
and was not an inch and half thick in
any place. Its upper surface was nicked
and marred by hoof treads, and to the
under side there still chung good portion
OF the concrete foundation, which, finding
the adhesive strength of the soft pave
ment above it greater than its own, had
come away with the sample and remained
tn be produced in court. This dilapidated
spongy buttering of bitumen was identified
as having come from Elwood avenues
pavement.
Mr.. Alderman objected to the admission
OF the bit of pavement until he had asked
few questions. He wanted to know if
Mr.. Mccullough had measured the dis
lance from curb to curb, in order that he
might dig the hole squarely in the middle
OF the roadway. He produced three fat
blocks OF bitumen and asked if they could
have come from the pavement.
The witness said his opinion was that no
blocks of that thickness could ever be
taken from Elwood avenues pavement.
Then Mr.. Alderman wanted to know if
the wafer of bitumen submitted could not
have worn down to its present insignifi-
cant thinness by wagons and horses.
The witness thought not. In fact. he
