Buckleyism and its attendant 1ndecencies.
Just consider the incongruiIy OF the idea that,
when San Francisco has arrived at point
when the denizens of Morton street are to
be removed, the State Central Committee is
to be asked 10 set up Buckleyism. To propose
to again inf1ict this moral monstrosity on the
party requires moral turpltude on the part OF
those advancing the nauseatlng idea that Is
too loathsome to dwell upon.
Undoubtedly Buckley has already instructed
his tools to make much clamor before the COM
mlttee. IN the hope OF creating the impression
mat their numbers are commensurate with
their disturbance. The Ex-Conyicts Aid So
ciety, the Ancient Order of Ballotstuffers, the
Crooked Sewer-builders' Society and every
form of corruption incident to a Buckley
regime will doubtless be PRAYING for recogni-
ton. There is understood to be ready an as

When the new general committee assemblies
next week it will undoubtedly determine in
what way II will approach the State Commit
tee and lay the matter before them. The State
committee Is ail-poWeriul. us recognition IN
the issuance of the call would be absolutely
de terminative.
1 think there is no possibility of Buckleyism
getting any recognition whatever. When the
State Committee has finished its work the pub
lie will understand that Mr.. Buckley's organi-
zation is simply piece club.
The State Committee is not likely TO adopt
any compromise plan looking 10 a primary
run by an independent committee, though I
understand that two members of the State
Central Committee, who have been pretending
to work with the decent element, have been
secretly working with Buckley and are prepar-
ing such proposition. They will be exposed
and thoroughly roasted" before the commit
tee. The State Committee has too much sense
and courage to be inti-nidated by the threat
that the criminal elementwill defeat the party
that has the honor to refuse to compound
feloLy.
1t will be seen that the prospects for
gay Democratic time are very bright.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, March 4.
Mrs. John F. Wood, the wife of the man
who was wrongfully credited with know
ing considerable about the death Of Miss
Annie Parker, has written a letter for pub
lication that straightens out several mat
ters in connection with that sad affair.
When the body OF Miss Parker was re-
covered at Baden some letters were found
in her pockets that were kept by her
brother and only small portions OF them
were printed. Mrs. Wood says if they
had been printed in full theey would have
conveyed a very different impression.
After referring to the finding of Miss
Parker's body in a manner which JUSTIFIED
all the writer had previously said about
the story of conspiracy between her and
the unfortunate woman, Mrs. Wood SAYS
AS 10 my corresponding with gentlemen, l
wish TO say IL Is entirely false. Miss Parker

WAITING ON THE WEATHER
University Students Anxious to
Get to Work Again on
the Campus.
Colds Considering as to Whether
They Will Accept the Challe nge
Received From Stanford.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 4.-The
students at the State University are
anxious for the weather TO clear off suf-
fciently for them to finish the work on the
new entrance 10 the grounds as well as the
excavating around North Hall. Though
it was i'm possible on account of the rain to
do any work last Monday, which day had
been set aside by President Kellogg for
completing The task, yet it is generally un-
derstood that another Gay will be granted
the college men for that purpose as soon
as it is clear weather.
AS matters now stand it is quite impos-
sble 10 use more than half of the new six
teen-foot walk on account OF lis seml-com
pleted condition, and the ground in front
Of North Hall is so rough that passage is
made with only the greatest difficulty.
On account of the Inconvenience expert
enced in reaching the hall by the front ap-
preach most of the students go to the rear
of the building. Such of the picks, shov-
els, crowbars and wheelbarrows as have
not been carried away for souvenirs OF the
student labor movement have been
piled up IN the basement OF North Hall,
awaiting the cessation of the inclement
weather and the return to them OF the
corps of bIistered-handed college digs.
That the indictments, though most OF
them have been borrowed from Golden
Gate Park, are choice and valuable sonve-

day or so ago a student was seen carrying
OFF two shoyels and a pick for has lady

Regarding the Rights of Voters Owing
to the Cancellation.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 4.-The ques-
ton has been raised whether voter can
be deprived Of his right in town election
simply because he has not placed his name
on the new Great Register OF the county.
Also as to whether the cancellation by
the Board of Supervisors of the old regis
ter has any effect upon the use of that
register at these town elections.
These questions have been freely dis
cussed by County Clerk Jordan and numer-
Gus attorneys, who express the opinion
that the cancellation does not affect these
town elections, and that voter whose
name is upon it has q legal right to vote.

provision for registration of voters in

Library Not to Be Moved.
ALAMEDA, CAL, March 4.-The Trus.
tees have decided by definite vote not to
move the public library. They had long
discussion over the proposition, and tried
to align themselves with public sympathy
on the subject. There is room in the
new City Hall designed especially for the
library, but they claim it is not large
enough. They say it would not properly
house the books and papers now, and the
institution is growing rapidly. TO get the
matter before the body, Mr.. Allen moved
that the board move the library into the
new City Hall. All the vote the propo-
sition got was the movers. But itlis said
by all of them that if there is any con-
siderable public sentiment in favor OF
moving they are willing to move. The
effort to build a library building by q
syndicate Of citizens, the city to purchase
it gradually afterward, is making head
way. Upward of $11, 900 of the $50, ,OOo
necessary for the building has been
pledged already.
Mr.. Bennett Exercised.
ALAMEDA, CAL, March 4-The local
newspapers contained accounts few days
ago of how the assistant librarisn of the
public library had seriously objected to
G. r. Benefits actions, claiming that
he stared visitors at the library and the
assistant ont of countenance. Mr.. Ben
nett is very nearsighted and unfortunately
has a seeming ha bit of staring at reople in
rude manner when he may not see them
at all or only indistinctly. At the last
meeting of the Library Board Mr.. Bennett
appeared and asked for hearing on the
charges. The assistant librarian was sum :
moned to appear but declined, desiring to
speak privately to the president instead.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
Q08 Broadway March 4

90S Broadway, March T.
Martha Newland, the heir OF the large
Newland estate. fled an answer to-day,
through her attorneys, Dodge & Fry, to
the suit for participation brought by Carrie
Newland Burch two weeks ago.
Martha Newland, the niece, who is the
executrix, denies that Carrie Burch is the
iIlegitimate child of her uncle and pro-
ceeds to tell story that is totally at
variance with that of Mrs. Burch. The
answer says that Mr.. and Mrs. Newland
took the plaintiff when she was a girl
about years of age from the Protestant
Orphanage in San Francisco and took her
to their home and cared for her. She was
full orphan and was SO represented by
the directors Of the orphanage. Carrie
was never adopted or recognized as child
of the family, and when Mr.. Newland died
he left paragraph in his will which read ::
81 commend her to the care and protec-
ton of my wife, Carrie Roundy." Some
years later Mrs. Newland died and the
niece inherited the estate. When Mrs.
Newland made her will she expressly left
Carrie s..
The niece says she continued to care for
Carrie after Mr.. Newland's death, but that
the latter was wayward and caused her
benefactors much grief by her actions.
Some very serious allegations are then
made against the character of the plaintiff
who has married twice since Mr.. Newland
died.
Attention is called TO the fact that some
time ago the plaintiff was interested in a
suit in which the same point was involved
as in the present case, and that the judg-
ment was against her on all points. 1t is
further recited that whatever claim the
plaintiff may allege she has is barred by
several statutes of limitations.
