Rev. Miller, of the Grace Lutheran
preached special sermon for the Junior
Order, last Sunday evening. He is not a
member of the order himself, but ho ex
borted the members present TO be true to
themselves, the Bible and the Nation. He
thinks the Brotherhood of Man, if correct
ly understood, would do away with selfish
trusts and monopolies; and that the man
who leads daily life of purity is better
exponent of patriotism than the noise of
tin horns, blare of red. fire and confusion.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRAyc1sco CA11,,

sos Broadway, Jan. Is.
The Acme Athletic Club is anxiously
awaiting the letter that they expect to re-
celve from President Humphreys of the
Pacific Athletic League tomorrow. In
the meantime they have almost decided to
secede from the league. They assert that
their dues are not delinquent till June of
this year and that their hasty suspension
at meeting when they did not have
representative present was instigated by
jealousy and was hasty and uncalled for.
The Acme Club will be forbidden by the
league to hold its gentlemen's night to-
morrow, but they have already decided to
ignore any such dictum. For long time,
they say, the Pacific League has been IN
satisfactory, as it is branch of the AmerI-
can Athletic Union and when protests
have been entered to races the commu-
nications have been sent East and several
weeks have elapsed before matters have
been adjusted.
Manager De Witt Van Court of the
Acme Club is very pronounced in his opin-
ion. He says:
We had snap judgment taken on us because
we had no representative at the meeting at
which we were suspended, but we do not care
particularly, because it has long been an open
question among the clubs as to whether or not
we had better withdraw from the association.
NO club seemed to want to take the initiative
IN forming new association that would be
purely coast affair. Now that it has been
forced on US, we will take the lead and form q
new ASSOCIATION. The present association
tnough local IN name, is really branch Of the
Eastern organization.
The general feeling is that the Pacific
Athletic Association has been altogether
too partial to the Olympic Club. Should
1t be decided to form new league the
Acme Club will be the first to Withdraw.
The suspension has brought matters to
Crisis. Only one notice was sent to the
club about dues and since it was received
the club has not had time to take any
action in the matter.
The directors decided tonight that they
would send their dues to the league to.
morrow, and will take immediate steps to
ind out what clubs are willing to break
away and form coast league.

County Clerk with funds furnished by the
Supervisors. The last Legislature passed
law forbidding Supervisors providing
fund for such purposes, and when this
was called to their attention few DAYS
ago, the District Attorney was asked to
clearly define the duties of the County
Clerk in the premises.
Mr.. Shook has decided that voters can
register either with the Assessor or with the
County Clerk. This decision affects every
county in the State. The opinion of the
District Attorney is very lengthy. The
following summary with which it con-
cludes clearly explains the position:
1t will thus be seen that the Clerks duties
are:
First-To keep Great Register.
secono-Io make entries thereon in accord
ance with the law above quoted upon such
showing ana proof that would be sufficient to
este6llsh the facts necessary to be inserted in
the Great Register, and that it is not necessary
Tor the CLERK to send to the voter to obtain a
registration affidavit, but THAT the voter must
apply TO the Clerk or the Assessor with such
proof as may entitle the elector to have his
name enrolled on the Great Register.
L am aware of the fact that heretofore the
Assessor IN this county has taken little part in
the registration of the voters OF the city, but
that such is his duty is plain by review OF
the above provisions OF the law The Supreme
Court in the case of WEIGH VS.. Williams, supra
says: by its provisions the clerks and AS
SCISSORS OF the respective counties are author
lied to receive applications for registry, land
the names OF such applicants as appeared to be
ensltled 10 vote were entered on the register as
received by the Clerk or as returned from
month TO month by the Assessor"
can see no good reason why the Assessor
OF the county should not keep the roll of
electors as is provided for in section 1893 of
the Political Code, and would suggest that
such course be followed in case of q new
registration of the electors Of the county, as it
is evident from the TACT that the force of men
the Assessor now has in the field that it would
be great accommodation to the electors of
the county. ana relieve the Office of the Clerk
from the great inconvenience attendant upon
such new registration of the voters of the
county.
The same proof is required to be shown to
the Assessor before the names of the voters of
the county can be entered upon the roll OF the
electors that is required TO be shown to the
Clerk, and he same entries must be made upon
such roll OF electors as is required to be made
upon the Great Register, and it is evident that
1t would be greater saving OF time to the
electors and aid the Clerk very materially in
getting out such new register.
This takes a great wei ght off my hands, ,"
said County Clerk Jordan tonight. ''Mr
Dalton and myself will have to work hand
In hand, and in this way the heavy expense
will not all fall on me-
