they lighted the tables Of their operators.
They also furnished candles to the news

lights burning in the two press sections
were the only illuminations in the hall.
They served to throw fantastic shadows
across the floor where the delegates were
assembled, but were not strong enough to
enable the convention to proceed with
business. Chairman Butler arrived long

Chairman Butler called the convention
to order and the Rev. Mr.. Smith offered
the invocation.
The report of the committee on creden-
tials was called for. but no one responded,
and the States were called for members
of the committees on permanent organ

There were at times long delays and the
delegates grew perceptibly impatient. The
middle-of- -the-roaders were extremely sus-
picious. They intimated that it was part
OF the plot to defeat them.
A Dramatic Outburst.
After the announcement Of the commit

bers retired While other announcements
were being made middle-of-the-road

TEIR DAY

The delegates began TO assemble at 9::iO
o'clock, but it was long after 10 o'c.ock
when the convention was called to order.

to be compelled to announce that the Rev

tion with payer, had been called from
the city.
Congressman Newlands moved that

pointed to raise funds with which to de-
fray the expenses of the convention.
Charles A. Towne, yice-chairman. was
then introduced. He said that the press
of the country had apparently forgotten
its sacred duty and had become the plant
tool Of monopoly. Money was the god it
worshiped.
The single gold standard, he said, would
ruin the masses of the people.
Refers to HcrOism of Teller.
The speaker referred to the bolt of Sen
ator Teller from the Republican conven-
ton and spoke of the ''heroism and pat
riotism" of the Colorado Senator, to the
delight of the delegates. Next he referred
to the nomination of Mr. Bryan. who, he
said, was born the year of the election of
Lincoln. He then eulosized the Demo-
cratic candidate in glowing terms. This
evoked the biggest demonstration which
has thus far characterized the conven-
ton. The speaker next explained the
free silver question and declared hard
times would vanish when free silver ap-
peared.
There was loud and uproarious cheer
ing by the delegates when Mr.. Towne
ended.

lineup when the team played three weeks
ago. Dorsch, the old Multnomah tackle,
will take Middlemas' place as right tackle.
La Cunha of Haywards will play left end
in place of Racine. The center will be
held down by three of the best men on
the coast, Burnett at center, with Wells
and Oliver as guards.
Sexton, who is well known as a left
tackle over the coast, will take the same
position tomorrow. Lanyon, who plays
right end, has been placed on account of
his hard low tackling and following the
ball.
Marsh, the quarterback, is a plucky
little player, who is always in the game.
He is especially strong in defensive play
and puts up a great game at quarter.
Back of the line will be seen the same trio
as that which played into the Berkeley
line so successfully few weeks ago.
Arthur Arlett at fuliback IS improving
every day. He is considered a very
promising player and his determined line
bucking and dashing play is sure to place
him in the front rank as fullback. Car
ter and Walton are both fast men and sure
ground-gainers.

MEN At WORK
Berkeley Players Housed in
Their New Training
Quarters.
Changes Made in the Schedule of
Games for the Clubs Around
the Bay.

BERKELEY, CAL. Oct. % The past
week in football circles has been full of
interest. Flushed with the victory OF
last Saturday over the Olympics, the men
went at their work on Monday with still
more vim and energy.
The two events of the week were the
opening of the tralning-house and the
practice game with the Reliance Club team
last evening. On Tuesday twenty men
took up their quarters at the training
house on Union street, and at once COM
menced to observe the strictest rules re-
gafding diet, sleep and non-dissipation.

assigned to the training-house: Ransome.
Sherman, Simpson, Craig, MODERN oft,
Ludlow, BirdsalI, Greisberg, Hopper,
Hutchinson, Diekie, Bender Haskell,
Kennedy, Whipple, Anderson, McNutt
and Hall. In all probability half dozen
more will be ordered to the quarters dur
ing the coming week.
The practice game with the Reliance
last evening, in which the men from Oak
land carried the bail down the field over
BeTkeley's line seven or eight times,
showed that more concerted work must be
done by the colleglans in strengthening
! that portion of the team.
Freshmen players, as at Stanford, this
year are at Il premium. 1nere are parety
enough com petent 400" men at Berkeley
to make up team. Their first game OF
the season will be played with the Bel
mont team tomorrow morning on the
Berkeley field. Following will be the line
up: McDermott, center; Barnes and
Peck, guards; Riley and Miner, tackles
Allen and Smythe, ends; Symmes and
Whipple, or Dickie, halves; Austin, quar-
ter; Anderson, full.

FAIRS HEIRS COMBINE,
They Will Join Forces to Fight
the Probate of the Pencil
Will.

The attorneys representing the heirs in
the Fair case met in Judge Slack's cham
bers yesterday to discuss the amount to
be allowed ex-Judge Van r. Paterson for
services as attorney for Herman OeIrichs
Jr. and other minor heirs of the deceased
capitalist.
Judge Paterson asked for remuneration
for legal services and that he be reim-
bursed for money expended. 1t was
agreed that he receive the former, but his
Honor denied the latter request. The
amount Judge Paterson will receive will
be announced on Wednesday night.
The meeting was productive also of q
thorough understanding between the
small army of attorneys who represent
the Fair children, the grandchildren and,
in fact, all the lawyers excepting the adj
vocates of the pencil will. Attorney
Wheeler, representing Virginia Fair and
Mrs. Oelrichs, announced that at the
proper time his clients will be found fol-
lowing the banner of the contestants of
the pencil will. For the present, however
they will fle no contest, but will stand
with Judge Paterson in the contest insti-
tuted in behalf of the minor heirs.

Mrs. Olive B. Babcock was seen at her
home, 2615 San Jose avenue, but denied
at first that there was any trouble. She
said: Anything we attempt to do the
