KAUFMAN SLATED TO CO,
A Relative of Commissioner
Wilson to Get His
Place.
FIRE CHIEF STILL IN DOUBT.
Commissioner PeIrsol Is Held to
Be AnsWerable to Two
Parties.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
QQ8 Broadway Sent 90 (

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,}
90S Broadway, Sept. 80.
1t was given out to-day that George
Kaufman, secretary of the Board of Works,
is slated to go and will probably be re-
moved at to-morrow's meeting. His sue
cessor is said to be q relative of Commits
sioner Wilson, named Miller. If this ap-
poinment is made by Wilson it narrows
down the circumstances and also the I'M
certainty regarding the appointment of
Chief of the Fire Department, which will
without doubt be an appointee of
Peirsol's. Mayor Davie still constituting a
minority of one. This being the case the
new Chief will probably be Populist, but
Peirsol has not yet given out who will be
the lucky man.
1--WE have had the matter of Fire Chief
under consideration for a long time said
Mr.. Peirsol to-day, "but we have not de-
cided yet as to what we shall do. GER
tainly owe nothing to any party, as was
nominated by the Populists and Endorsed
by the Republicans. All this talk about
taking me tn task for not obeying the be-
hests of the Republican city committee is
nonsense. About three months ago was
invited to meet the heads of the Populist
party. and was scored for not standing in
HAth 4ho5 vi DAFiC' L lOlu buCII, as L lOIo
the Republicans, that | was not taking
dictation from anybody"
The opinion is prevalent now that the
recent call to the Com missioners by Sec
rotary Bishop to answer for their political
sins to the Republican committee was an
authorized one, and that after Bishop had
published the facts in his paper the COM
mittee backed down. However the affair
originated it has destroyed whatever
chance Campbell or Toohy had of succeed
ing Chief Lawton, and after the new ordi-
nance regulating the Fire Department
heads shall have been passed it will prob
ably be found that Fred A. Murdoch has
secured the prize.
81 am not bothered with the distribution
of patronage" said the Mayor, land it
saves me lot of trouble. 1 can now have
! time to attend to the business of the CITY,
Many of the recent changes are not for the
best, but Wilson and Peirsol can safely be
left to arrange for their own political
funeral"
When Mayor Davie took office he had
the words walk In printed in large let
tiers on his ante-room door. It was a.
novelty to be able to find the Mayor and
much greater novelty to be invited into
his sanctuary, and hundreds of place-seek-:
ers took advantage of the Invitation. All
that is changed now. The Mayors office is
deserted and the "walk i'm sign will
probably be transferred to- the offices of
Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Peirsol, as the Mayor
says he has now no use for it,.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-01

has signifed his intention to have that or
dinance repealed, as he is a great rider
himself, but he does not believe in being
a "mountebank,' to nse his own Ian
guage.
But Chief o. Police Lloyd is obdurate,
and gave orders that every citizen must
obey the ordinance or be transported to
the City Hall. Mayor Davie is, of course,
the first citizen" of Oakland, but citi-
zen, notwithstanding, and amenable to
the ordinance. Chief Lloyd does not owe
his election to Mayor Davie and would not
be likely to spare his Honor So the
Mayor locked up his wheel and has done
some tall walking during the past three
days.
This evening the Mayor could resist no
longer. He refrained from joining the
parades that nave been organized during
the past week although his heart was with
them. He took out his wheel and started for
his home from the City Hall. To the sur
prise of everybody he rang his bell loud
enough 10 be heard a block away, and
when he dropped the tongue of his bell he
astonished everybody still more by produc-
ing horn and blowing it as the ordinance
demands, loud and continuously"
Il don t like the ordinance little bit, -
said the Mayor tonight, "but so long as it
Is law l will respect il. F"

Edward Wickham Sent to San Quentin
for Three Years.
Edward .Wickham, was convicted OF
stealing horse and buggy, was sentenced
to-day TO three years imprisonment in San
Quentin.
The prisoner hired rig presumably to
go to Haywards, but did not return it and
was subsequently arrested at Hanford.
When the A. h. U. strike occurred last
year Wickham went out with the strikers.
He was elected assistant secretary of the
strike committee at West Oakland. Later
he gave such evidence before the United
States Grand Jury that his fellow-strikers
suspected him of turning informer.
President Roberts of the A r. U. saws that
Wickham had in his possession the only
complete list of strikers, and that as the
railroad com pany has such list the infer
ence is that Wickham furnished it.
Wickham believes that he will escape
the serving of his term. His attorney
received a certificate of probable cause.
The cause is that no information was filed
against him until sixty days after he was
held to answer, owing to oversight in the
District Attorneys office. The statute
provides that an information must be filed
within thirty days after the defendant is
held

Chris Weidenbach OF Paso Robes me,
Edward Johnson, bunko man, on Kearny
street yesterday morning. Chris was look.
ing for the General Postoffice, and John
son took him there. Then Johnson sug.
gested they should take trip to Golden
Gate Park. They took California street
car, and on reaching the terminus John
son took Chris into the Odd Fellows Gem
etery, where they were Immediately Joined
by two other men.
Johnson and the two other men started
playing cards, and they asked Chris to take
a hand. He refused, when johnson re-
marked that he supposed he would not
play because he had no money. This an
gered Chris, and he pulled 5000 out of his
pocket. Johnson grabbed it and ran.
Chris pursued him, and two of the labor
ers in the cemetery joiued in the chase.
They overlook johnson, who gave Chris
his 5000, but they held on to him and tele-
phoned to the Central police station for
the patrol-wagon. Johnson was taken to
the City Prison and booked on the charge
of grand larceny.

CANNOT STOP THE FARES,
The SeVenth-StreetO Ordinance
Is Held to Be Inopera-
tive.
Persons With a Grievance Must
Seek Redress Under the
State Law.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO GALE, !
o0S Broadway Sent RI

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI,l
90S Broadway, Sept. 80.
The ordinance prohibiting the railroad
from collecting fares cannot be enforced
and is only a piece of useless legislation.
So said the City Attorney to-day.
For several weeks the Mayor has been
beset with inquiries regarding the non
enforcement of the ordinance prohibiting
the railroad from collecting fares on the
Seventh-street local trains, and he has in
variabiy replied that he was not certain of
its constitutionality. Chief Lloyd has re-
Trained from acting upon it for the same
reason. Now it has been decided that the
ordinance is imperative and cannot be
enforced.
when the ordinance was passed." says
the City Attorney, in his opinion rendered
to-day az informed the Council that t
could not be enforced, for the reason that
the State law covers the point and renders
local legislation superhuous. If any one
has grievance against the railroad they
must seek redress in the courts under the
State law. A case based on the city ordi-
nance would not lie."
There have been several cases lately of
people going aboard the trains and refus-
ing to pay the fare, but the trainmen have
not secured anybody's arrest for so doing.
While the ordinance is in force it is not
likely that policeman would arrest citi-
zen for obeying it. A few weeks ago
Mayer Davie heard gateman arguing
with passenger regarding the payment OF
fare, and his Honor ordered the passenger
to board the train and dared the trainhand
to make an effort to stop him.
There are several cases now pending
against the railroad of passengers wanting
damages for being required to pay fare,
but thew have always been conducted with
out any show of resistance other than
obeying the order of the gateman to buy
a ticket before boarding the train.

Auxiliary No. / of the Old People S
Home Association opened grand bazaar
tonight at their church, on Fifteenth
street, which will last a week.
The church is beautifully decorated and
the booths are well supplied. The object
of the bazaar is to provide funds for the
completion of the home at Beuiah.
Thomas Pearson was master of ceremonies
and he welcomed the guests in the follow
ing speech:
Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of Auxili-
airy No l of the Old Peoples Home Association
| extend to you most cordial welcome and
take occasion to express the sincere hope that
you Will throughout the entire week gladde n
the earnest hearts of It's untiring members with
the sunshine OF your presence. You are all
aware OF their purpose. The ladies are striv-
ing to build home for the aged and infirm OF
our race, and have made admirable progress in
that direction. Their effort has met with the
approval of all well-thinking and truly
Christian-hearted people to whom it has been
made known.
The press of both Oakland and San Francisco
has been most generous in it's aid of the
worthy cause. By close inspection of the ar.
ticles which the auxiliary has for disposal

The building site has been donated by the Sal.

building will cost $500, and the amount nee.

$500, and 1t is to be earnestly hoped by all
interested in the work that this bazaar will
prove to be grand financial success.
Every week or two we read in the columns oil
our daily papers an account of q magnificent
bequest to some charitable institution. But
unfortunately, owing to unfavorable condi.
tons which exist, the aged and infirm of oul

with others, the benefits accruing from such

the head being apparently held down in
the mud by weight. The Coroner pro-
cured boat and brought the remains
to shore. 1t was discovered that brick
had been tied about the neck of the little
thing, which was wrapped up IN an old
pillow-case. No clothing was on the child,
but there was bruise on the head, where
it is supposed the body struck the mud.
There was no evidence that might lead to
the discovery of the guilty parties.
1t was clear that the body had been
thrown. into the estuary at high water and
