WAR ON JUDGE HEBBARD
Peoples Home Bank Depositors
Begin a Bitter Fight
Against Him.
E'even Thousand of Them Will Re.
taliate for His Appointment of
G neral Sheehan.

The depositors of the Peoples Home
Savings Bank have determined to make
an organized fight against Judge Hebbard,
the Nom Pan tisan nominee for Superior
Judge. They have been working toward
this end for some time past, and are now
fully decided on the course OF action to be
pursued in their campaign against the
Judge, which is to be opened at once all
over the City and wherever a nucleus OF
the unfortunate depositors exists.
This fight Is first of all to assume
definite shape in the nature of an appeal
to the voters of san Francisco setting
forth the misfortunes of the Peoples
Bank depositors and their attitude toward
the institution. The appeal has already
been written and is now in the printers s
hands. So within a few days it may be
expected that 1t will be spread broadcast
throughout San Francisco.
The executive committee of the de-
positors has charge of the work of pub
fishing and distributing the appeal in cir
cular form. As there are about II, 600 de-
positors in all, and each one will be given
an opportunity TO constitute himself a
committee of one to further distribute the
appeal, it is believed by the executive
committee that this battle will assume
immense proportions.
Judge Hebbard appointed General
Sheehan receiver of the bank about May
1, 1894. The appointment was made in
an action brought by the people of Cali
fornIa upon the relation of Attorney
General Hart against the bank, but it was
subsequently held by the Supreme Court
that the appointment was in excess of the
jurisdiction of the court and was void,
Shortly after the appointment was made
another suit was begun, that OF Nathan
Goldtree versus the directors and stock
holders of the bank. This suit was based
ON avermen.s of fraudulent conduct on
the part of the former directors, and GEN.
eral Sheehan was appointed receiver by
Hebbard in this suit also.
Sheehan continued to act as receiver
under those appointments until January,
1895, when the receivership proceedings
were nullified by the Supreme Court. So
there was never any valid or legal re-
ceivership OF the bank. What has most of
all aroused the indignation OF the deposit
ors is that they believe between $42, 600 and
$43, 900 was sduandered by the manage
ment during the term of receivership.
The executive committee maintains that
the appointment of Sheehan was essen
italy a political one, because he knew
nothing of banks and banking and still
less of handling bonds, securities and the
finances of banking institution. Acting
under this conviction they have prepared
to wage a vigorous war against Judge
Hebbard.

Senator Flint believes that the outlook
for Republican success this year in Cali
| fornia is very good indeed. He thinks
that the sober second thought of the voters
has returned, if, in fact, the voters ever
seriously thought of renouncing party
which has accomplished so much for the
good of the people. He says, too, that as
the campaign advances, 80 far as he has
been able TO judge, the enthusiasm for
Major Mckinley has grown constantly.
The majority of the people believe, as he
thinks, that with Mckinley and his prin-
ciples will come safety and solidity OF
business. The fact that the people are
seeing more and more that protection is
invaluable to the interests of the State
has caused the number of Mckinley men
to increase.
II have not had much occasion to go
over the State" said Senator Flint yester-
day, "and I have made no speeches out
side of my district, but l have been in
Santa Cruz, Monterey and throughout
San Benito considerably. do not think
there will be much change in these coun-
the same. In my own county l antici-
pate that the vote will be about the same
as when Mr.. Budd was elected two years
ago.
TT has been pretty quiet campaign,
generally speaking. There have been no
county officers to elect, and that makes a
great deal of difference in the local inter-
est. Yet, as the campaign advances it is
plain to see that the interest and enthu-
slasm are growing steadily.
"In my section of the State the people
are emphatically in favor of protection,
because we are large producers of sugar
Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito
counties, and they are very important
crop. Protection means a good deal to
the farmers and everybody else in these
counties. II you can show man that
protection means an additional price of
fifty cents q ton for beets, it is an argu-
ment that reaches him; it has its effect,
and he will be in favor of the protection
that protects him in the industry of beet
raising.
.The former price for beets under the
tariff and bounty was 81 30 to $5 a ton,
and beets are now worth at the factory 81
ton. If duty should be imposed
equivalent to 2 cents q pound on sugar, it
is expected that the price for beets will be
restored. It is safe to say that my section
of the country has by repeal of the McKin-
ley bill lost at least $500, 900. That is a
very important sum. and if it had been
distributed among our people it would
have greatly aided in making times easy
and money plentiful. The people down
there are seeing this and they want the
Mckinley tariff restored. They say that
it will do great deal Tor that part OF the
State.
"Mr. Spreckels will crush, suppose, in
that section 125, 900 tons of beets this year.
If q factory be put in at Salinas, our peo-
pie Will raise as many more. so that the
effect of tariff, as voiced by Major Nc

There were many happy hearts in the
new City Hall yesterday when it became
known that Auditor Broderick would
sign the warrants of the clerks in the
offices that were affected by the tenure OF
Office decision of the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Broderick's reason for signing the
warrants is that the Supreme Court in its
decision In the suit recently brought by
the Election Comm issioners ignored the
question of salaries entirely, leaving the
matter of signing the warrants in the
hands of the Auditor.
This move is expected to remove much

Intricate ManeuverS Executed
by Brilliantly Lighted
Craft.
THE PROCESSION A MILE LONG
Officers and Marines From the United
States Cruisers Join in the
Revelry.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, March 7.-Thou-
sands of people-strangers, winter tourists
and residents-swarmed to the city front
tonight to witness and participate in the
dazzling water fetes The weather was per
feet, the water unruff1ed by single breeze.
Hundreds of small craft, ablaze with light
and crowded with merrymakers, man
euvered in reckless propinquity the dan
gerous- looking ommerce-destroyers OF
Uncle Sans navy, while music and laugh
ter arose like a grand ioysong from a
square mile of water. For San Diego S
carnival was a success.
The procession was over mile.in length
and composed of barges, launches, tow
boats, yachts-in fact, all manner OF craft,
artistically and brilliantly decorated with
lanterns ard colored lights and contain
ing hundreds of pretty girls, uniformed
officers of the navy, marines, civilians,
bands of music and orchestras.
At 8 o'clock the procession started from
beacon No. and began to wind in and out
among the big warships al anchor. All
the vessels, including the Philadelphia,
Thetis, Albatross, the German ship Ori-
ent, the Nicaraguan schooner Pacheco and
q feet of schooners, were beautifully
lighted, and as the glittering carnival be-
gan TO reach It's height the big flashlights
of the Philadelphia were turned upon the
throng of boats ana paled into insigniti-
canoe the puny glamour of the thousands
of electric lights.
Here, there, everywhere the white streak
of light was thrown, aow. outlining the
circuitous path of the revelers along the
water, now shooting athwart the rigging
OF other ships, now illumining the city in
a white glare,
Meanwhile the small craft were turning
around the frowning sides of the Philadel-
phia and lodging past the anchored
barges, where great roars and explosions
marked the spouting of fireworks. The
design of the line OF march was intricate,
but beautifully executed. The thousands
of spectators. whether gathered near by
on the wharves or several miles away on
the city heights, were alike treated to a
scene of novel beauty, rivaliug the storied
pageants of Venice when doge and senator
passed in picturesque procession to glory
or death.
A single mishap occurred, and that was
when laughing girl fell into the bay from
barge. Her escort jumped into the water
and rescued her without difficulty. She is
8 member of one OF the numerous rowing
clubs and is almost daily seen swimming
in the bay, so her informal ducking did
not alarm her. She came out laughing
like Naiad, and the carnival, temporarily
demoralized, continued its way.
The nights festivities wound up by all
the craft in the line forming labyrinth
wherein all the lights, music and fun be-
came tangled in an intricate design, ap,
pearing at a distance to be a magnificent
jewel upon the dark waters of the bay.
