Besides, l do not think that the constablS
could legally leave prisoners in the Jus

prisoners. do not think have anything
to do with such prisoners until they are
delivered to me at the jail.
Under Sheriff Harlow, speaking on the
subject, said: 'The constables have no
more right to leave prisoner committed

than they would to leave him in grocery
or saloon. The constables are the off
GERS of the Justices Court, and it is their
duty to carry out the orders of the Jus
tees in the matter of committing prison
ers. They must turn over prisoners to the
Sheriff, and the Sheriff is required to take
and receive prisoners into custody only
when they are turned over to him by the
constables at the Jail.

FOOTE IS FOR TARPEV.
First Broken Front for Years
Among Alameda County
Democrats.
Warren English Claims Victory and
the Fight Will Be to a Finish in
Vallejo Next Friday.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, !
nnp Rnn nUAv SAINT

908 BROADWAY, Sept. 2.
The Third Congressional Democratic
Convention will meet at Vallejo next Fri
day, and although enough of the party
have not yet been found in this county to
hold a ratification meeting since the Chi
cago convention, it is presumed that with
the aid of proxies enough votes will be
mustered to nominate a congressman.
The convention will be composed of the
same delegates that were elected to attend
the State convention.
Considerable interest is being shown in
the convention by the Populists, and they
will have their committe e on hand TO
bring about fusion if the opportunity to
do so is presented. Although the Pop.
ulists want Vann he has somewhat con-
fused them by handing in his resig nation
to State Chairman Wardell.
The fight will be between Warren Eng
lish and NJ. +. Tarpey, and although
every attempt Is being made to preserve a
pleasant from. there is much bitter feel
ing. As far as Alameda County is con-
cerned the line will be drawn Just as it was
and that exception is the biggest bomb
shell that has fallen into the D mocratic
camp for many moons.
w. w. Foote has announced that he is
the friend and supporter of Mr.. Tarpey.
This is the first break in the solid front of
the Alameda stalwarts and it has brought
confusion into the camp ana has upset all
calculations.
Il am for Mr.. Tarpey," said w. W
hoote to-day, "as the result of promise
made in Chicago
When asked for his reason Mr.. Foote
declined TO go any deeper into the subject.
Whether Mr.. Foote will carry the delega-
ton to the man whom he is pledged TO
support, or whether he will conine him
self to his individual vote is not known.
R. NJ. Fitzgerald, who is the recognized
leader of the opposition to whatever w,
w. Foote champions, will not be at the
convention, as he will not return from the
East for several days, but as it is known
he is for Tarpey it is probable that his visit
has been timed so that he will not have to
attend convention where he will have to
vote with Mr.. Foote.
In speaking of the situation to-day War
rem B. English said: 81 expect to be nomi-
mated on the first ballot, and do not an
ncipate any amount of opposition. If the
Populists will fuse with us we would be
pleased. However, l think that matter
must be left with the State executive
committees, for l am afraid we cannot
come to any definite conclusion in Val
leio, though of course we will try. If they
give US the Endorsement l think there is
no question but that l will beat Hilborn
out by possibly 5000 majority. Last time
we were up he defeated me by about $500.
Vann received a vote of over 5000, so with
our combined strength we ale all right in
this district"
1t is believed that Foote will place
Tarpey in nomination, and if this were to
be true there will be very lively conven-
ton.

LADIES TO TAKE ACTION.

Army Will Probably Be Encour.
aged to Open Shelter.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
I n

90S Broadway, Sept. 2.
More children have been abandoned in
Oakland during the past few months than
the many homes in this neig hborhood can
accommodate. About every other day
some little waif is cast adrift and taken to
the secretary of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, and now
Mrs. Prescott has commenced sending
them to San Francisco shelters and homes.
To those who are familiar with the West
Oakland Home, the Temescal Home and
the Chabot Home it will appear strange
that these refugees have been forced to close
their doors against newcomers. No chill
dren have been received at West Oakland
for two months, at Temescal for three,
while the Chabot will not receive them un-
less guarantee be given that they shall
only stay a few days.
At the present time Mrs. Prescott has a
small orphanage at her own apartments.
She has ''Nobody's baby that figured at
the exposition, and she has kept her so
long that she does not now desire to part
with her. Then there is little Helene,
who was kept at her office in basket, and
the latest is Annie Hilbert, lovely child
year of age, who was brought over by a
Sdn FRANCISCO woman, placeQ out 10 DOard
several months ago and abandoned.
"Twenty-one little ones have been heart
lessly abandoned during the past few
weeks" said Mrs. Prescott to-day. Some
have been left on doorsteps, some have
been brought here by those with whom
they were placed and who could not keep
them longer, but the most common way is
TO leave them in my office when l am out.
at is very necessary that we should
have a receiving home for foundlings in
this city. Disposition can always be made
of abandoned children in the course of
time, but it is imperative that there should
be some place where they can be cared for
till permanent homes can be provided Tor
them.
Several society ladies have promised to
take the matter up and they are now wait
ing for others to return when the matter
will be taken up. A parlor meeting will
be called and Mrs. Captain McFee of the
Salvation Army will probably be the one
to carry out their ideas. The children's
work of the Salvation Army seems to be
as practical and economical and thorough
as any system that can be found, and they
will probably be accorded proper encour-
agement to open children's shelter in
Oakland.
FOR some time past have had to take
my waits to San Francisco, but they do
not altogether appreciate children from
other cities and besides it wastes much
valuable time that could be saved if we
had home here

sion concerning the Wolcott burglary, for

. CONTEST WITH GLOVES
In the Encinal Yacht Club Boat
house Between Tarpey and
Randolph.
The Resignation of the Assistant
Librarian and Other Brief
Items.

ALAMEDA, CAL. Sept. 1.-THE Encinai
Athletic Club, an offshoot from the Yacht
Club confined to sons and relations of the
latter, held boxing contest last night in
the clubhouse. The participants were
Messrs. Tarpey and Randolph, SONS of two
prominent citizens. Invitation cards were
issued by the members, so that a good
attendance was secured, and the contribu-
ton box, placed under the eyes Of each of
the onlookers, received good round sum.
To put some ginger into the affair the
story was current that the contestants had
had difference over lady, and that Ran
dolph had challenged Tarpey to a duel
with the gloves. The affair last night was
of the mild order, though four-ounce
gloves were used. Charles Russell acted
as referee until after the fifth round, when
DR.. G. L. Tisdale took hand, and high
above the ain his voice proclaimed that
the fighting must end then and there.
The referee proclaimed the match a
draw, a decision that did not meet the
views of the spectators, who thought Tar
peV entitled to the judgment in his favor.

The Matter May Be Taken Int

OAKLAND, CAL, Sept. 2.-Sheriff c. B.
White has this to say regarding the pro-
posed plan of the constables of the county
refusing to take prisoners committed by
Justice courts from thence to the jail:
''I believe the constables propose to take
this stand because they receive no re-
Enumeration for taking prisoners to the
County Jail after commitment, / cannot
see why / should be compelled 10 undergo
a hardship of the same kind. If l should
have to bring a prisoner in here from
lrvington, for instance, / would receive no
more rem uneration than constable would.
