Los AnReleneS Determined to Have
What They Ask.
THE CALL was the only paper in San
Francisco yesterday that gave the true
inwardness of the fight in the Fusion
Conference Committee last Saturday
night.
The assault upon Warren B. English,
Democratic candidate for Congress from
the Third District, BY a Democratic fac
tion headed by Daggett, Tarpey, FoOte,
McNab, Gould and Budd, was the general
subject of conversation among politicians
yesterday. interviewer with the little
faction fight is the. Renaissance that Mr..
the railroad funding bill, and that he
thereby incurred the hostility of the
Southern Pacific Company.
Thus far that corporation has won every
fight it has made in the fusion commit
tee. 1t has succeeded in preventing its
enemy, George W. Monteith, from being
selected as the fusion candidate from the
First District; it has been equally for
tunate in the turning down of McGlashan
from the Second; and on Saturday night
ii succee ed in causing deadlock in the
committee, which had the effect of pre-
venting, st least for that session, the Le-
didate in that district.
Judge Mcguire was spared for reasons
which have not yet been brought to light.
The Judge stands so high with his party
that to have turned him down would
have brought about reaction that would
have been very damaging to the railroad
com pany during the present campaign,
and might have awakened an issue when
the Populists have discarded for that of
free coinage-ramely, the railroad cues
ton, which the company is always willing
to let sleep.
J. Taylor Rogers. Populist candidate
from the Fifth District, is Mayor Sutro's
clerk and be is not liked by the Southern
Pacific for that reason, added to the fur
Their one that as Populist he would be
obliged to make fight against the fund
ing bill. Hence, it surprised no one when
the fact came TO light that the committee
would turn him down for some one else.
even if that some one else should be a
Populist.
Yesterday it was reported that Rogers
friends put up fight for him. He could
be saved if the Populists, or four of the
six in the committee, would vote Tor Pat
ton Oemocrat) IN the Sixth.
This would leave two Populists on the
ticket, and necessarily the vacant place
that in the Third District, would have to
be filled with Populist Vann, Rogers being
used as the club to knock out both Eng
lish and Barlow and to knock in Patton.

ness and Mike Men Leave
the City.

The impression prevails that it is the
intention OF the State Board of Equal
iZatlon during the present week to add
$50. 100000 10 the assessment roll of the
City and County of San Francisco. Prop
erty-owners and tenants are in conse-
quence more or less alarmed, and there
exists among them q general feeling of
uneasiness. One of them said yesterday :
About one-ti ird of the entire State tax
is now paid by San Francisco, and interior
counties, in their eagerness TO see her
assessment increased, seem to forget that
they will be called upon to sustain a raise
in the following year.
Last year the assessment of this City
and County was increased. DESPITE the
protest of ihe Board OF Supervisors, $780,
100000, and considering the business de-
pres sion which has prevailed since then, a
like increase now would be equivalent to
$50, 100000. The existing standard of
values is very high and equitably there
should be a reduction rather than an in.
crease OF $50, OOO, 900 in the assessment roll.
'lf the increase be made 1t will, in the
opinion of competent judges, compel land
lords to double the rents of their tenants.
who will then probably be induced to 60
into business IN Oakland or some other
neigh boring city or town. Then the land
lords Will not care TO make any further in
vestments and the results will be general
business stagnation."
''Tbe State Board of Equalization, said
Alfred ID. Messages last night, ''has in its
mind standard of full cash value of prop
erty, but just what that is nobody seems
TO know. All counties, however, must
conform to it. What is your assessment
in proportion to the true valuation of
property in your county? This is the
question asked by the Equalizers.
From their decision an appeal has
never yet been taken in this State. APP
peals, though, have bean taken in other
States and can be in this. but as 10 the
precise method to be pursued I am not
advised. Property-owners, however, have
an undoubted right to petition the
Supreme Court to review the action of the
State Board of Equalization if they think
they have been treated unjustly."
A. Chesebrough, one of the Equalization
Board, left last night for Sacramento.

QUEER RULES.
Two Men Could Defeat the VIII Of
Thirteen.

Two Men Could Defeat the Will Of
Thirteen.
The plan of action under which the
Fusion Conference Committee of Fifteen
was organized was peculiarly drawn, so
that two of the three silyerites absolutely
controlled the entire conference. No man
could be nominated without their consent
The plan provided that in order to select
q fusion candidate the votes of two-thirds
of each or aniZation would be necessary
that is, four of the six Democrats, four of
the six Populists and two of the three
silver men, making q total vote OF ten.
Should a link in the chain be missing,
should a candidate receive the votes of six
Democrats, six Populists and one silver
man. making thirteen out of the fifteen
votes, he would not be chosen.
1t was no doubt with an eve to the
future that this plan was formulated, and
there is no doubt also that the authors of
il. who arranged things so that ten votes
would elect a man and thirteen votes
would defeat him (probably because thir-
teen is an unlucky mum ber). had the
English and other contingencies in their
minds eye, and prepared themselves 10
meet it.

doing rendered defeat impossible, though

THE PRIZES ARE PLENTIFUL

The thirty-eighth annual festival of the
San Francisco Schuetzen Verein was cele-
brated at Shell Mound park yesterday, the
piece de resistance of an interesting and
varied programme of attractions being the
competition shoot for mem bers of the or
ganization. For this and the bowling,
which almost rivaled it in popular esti-
nation, no less a sum than $500 in cash
had been specially provided-a circum-
stance tending 10 promote much more
than the normal excitement invariably a
feature of all such competitions.
The attendance of outsiders was consid-
cradle, though the members of the
Schuetzen Varein, resplendent in refur-
bished uni orms, were necessarily con-
spicuous among the throng, and those
whose attention was not altogether alb
sorbed by the shooting and the bowling
found time to devote to the gentler pas
times of dancing and Iovemaking-for it
goes without saying that pretty frauleins
were there in plenty.
A festival of any kind, with which son
OF the Fatherland is concerned, would
greatly belle tradition If music were lack
ing. On this occasion Ritzau's brass band
charmed the listeners with the concord
OF sweet sounds and discoursed CLASH

from morn till dewy eve. The interior of
the park pavilion was appropriately dec

stars and stripes and the flag of the

Throughout the day, which was one of
the thirsty variety, lager beef and milder
potations for those opposed to alcoholic

simulated IN large quantities-by the

The shooting began at 10 A. NJ. and was
continued until 8 o'clock, with an inter-
mission at noon for lunch. The pro-
gramme included shooting at company
targets, most points and best centers. The

The friends of Warren B. English,
headed by Frank J. Moffitt, after hard
fight succeeded last night in securing his
nomination as the fusion candidate.
The committee, having failed in its eff
forts at fusion, expended its remaining
strength in finding a soft place on which
to fall, so that the dizziness of the thud
might not jar too severely upon the ear OF
the public.
Finding that they could not agree they
fixed up matters so that Messrs. Patton
and Vann withdrew and left the field open
for English and Barlow, who were chosen
as the fusion candidates.
Only one district, the Fifth, was left.
The conference called Mr.. Rogers into the
secret shrine and delicately informed him
that the Democratic members of the COM
mittee were afraid that he would not receive
the votes of citizens of the district who did
not believe in a. P. Aism., and that for
that reason he would not be as available a
candidate as was desired.
A. B. Kline, a Populist member of the
committee and OF the Peoples Party State
Central Committee, was proposed, and
Mr.. Rogers withdrew in his favor.
James II. Barry was proposed in Rogers
place By the Democrat who appeared 10
be running the whole show, but the Popu-
lists objected to him on the ground that
he had uttered his thoughts concerning
some of their leaders.
The Third and Sixth districts were
voted for together and the JOINT vote
showed majority for English. Then a
separate vote was taken and English was
chosen, one authority says unanimously,
and the other that Leggett voted against
him.
In the separate vote on the Sixth Bar
low received twelve and Patton three
votes, the three being Dempsey. Hassett
and Lercett. Vann Withdrew in order to
help Barlow, whom the Populists wanted.
1t is reported that in few days Castle
will. be prevailed upon to withdraw in
favor of Maddox. That will give the
Democrats five candidates and the Popu-
lists only two and those two in the hope
less districts.
The joint conference committee will
meet at o'clock this afternoon to sign
the report to be made by Lawlor, Gesford
and Londsborough.
The report will be submitted to the State
Central Committees of these parties fol-
approval or rejection.
The conference did not adjourn until
midnight.
