WITHIN AN
ACE OF DEATH
G. Hopper and H. TOwne Struq-
gle in the Water Off the
Marin Shore.
Rescued by San Quentin Officers
When Hope Had Almost
Gone.

Charles Hopper and Henry Towne,
young men residing in Marin County,
had a narrow escape from drowning
yesterday off Point San Pedro.
They left FL Campo in fiat-bot-
toned skiff for a sail to the Marin
islands. On their return home, in try
ing to hoist the sail, the boat capsized,
throwing them into the water. They
both managed to grasp the keel and
held on until their shouting attracted
the attention of people on the shore.
who went to the San Quentin prison
near by and notified Captain Birlem.
With the help of his son and some
guards a boat was launched and went
to the assistance of the unlucky boys.
Their coming was none too soon as
they were nearly exhausted.
The boys were taken to the shore,
where their comfort was looked after.
From them it was learned that they
had been in the water for nearly an
hour and a half. Their clothes were
torn and their hands presented a pit
able appearance from contact with the
sharp keel.
They were sent to San Rafael on the
6:36 train, still showing signs of their
terrible experience.
Young Towne is a nephew of a very
wealthy rancher in Marin County.

and consequently that they are not
eligible as freeholders for the purpose
of framing a charter.
In alleged substantiatfon of this
mendacity it makes the bold and glar-
ing statement that the assessment
rolls of the city and county fail to
show the names of either of these
gentlemen as being possesors of real
property within the confines of the
limits of the municipality.
With it's usual fertility of criminal
resource the Monarch of the Fakers
did not hesitate to make use of un-
authorized statements of officials, and
it claimed that Hugo Herzer, chief
deputy assessor, had verified it's
search of the records and corroborated
its statement that these gentlemen
were not owners of real estate.
/ In this statement the Examiner
lsimply lied.
! The records make no such showing,
and, consequently, Herzer could not
have made such an assertion.
That the Examiner knew that it was
lying is evidenced by the fact that no
where in its columns does there appear
any quoted or signed statement by
Hugo Herzer that in any way bears
upon the statement so viciously made
There are six lies in the Examiners
larticle-one general and five specific.
1T first gives the glittering generalities
and then makes the direct assertion,
lgiving. the names and election numbers
lof the candidates whom it claims to
be ineligible
Ordinarily it is a waste of space to
give denial to anything that appears in
the columns of the convicted black
mailer of corporations, but it is due
ito the public as we'll as to the gentle
men maligned-if the assertions of the
Examiner can be capable of maligning
any one-to give their statements in
the premises and once more bring to
the bar of the people a multifold crimi-
nal and convict it of additional felony
, The Call presents herewith state
ments and affidavits regarding the ELI
lgibility of the five gentlemen as free
holders under the law, thus giving five
specific denials from men between
whose word and that of the convicted
employer of paper thieves there can be
but one choice.
George D. Squires is a well known
and long time resident of San Fran
cisco. He owns real estate near Golden
Gate Park, in this city, and is also the
owner of a large tract of improved
land in the adjoining county of San
Mateo. He is a property owner, tax
payer and resident. In every respect
he is eligible to serve on the Board of
Freeholders to frame a charter.
Frank MCGOWAN, the law partner of
George D. Squires, speaking for Mr.
SQuires, who is out of the city. says:
George d. Squires is a property
owner in the city and county of San
Francisco, and, in addition to that, he

question of FreehOlder. l do not be-
lieve it is absolutely necessary that a
person should be a freeholder in the
sense that one is to be the owner of
property in the city and county of San
Francisco. The constitution which
provides for the framing of the charter
gives the designation of freeholderS,
but there is nothing in the constitution
which declares that a person who is a
candidate for a charter convention
shall be a resident and citizen.
Mr.. Squires owns property near the
park and besides that he owns prop
erty in San Mateo County. There is
no one who will construe the constitu-
ton to say that he must be a free
holder within the city"
William NJ. PierSon, a well known at
tOrney and Old-time resident of San
Francisco, is a candidate for the Board
of Freeholders on the regular ticket
that represents opposition to one-man
power. He was seen at his office in the
Mills Building yesterday in regard to
the statement published in the Exam
iner that he was not an owner of real
estate and therefore not eligible under
the law to serve as a Freeholder. He
said:

it relates to me, is utter nonsense, and

An examination of the records in the
Recorders office at the City Hall shows
that the jaundiced journal is once more
detected in a most fragrant falsehood.
A mere extract from the books in the
Recorders office setting forth the fact
that DR.. Wolcott N. Griswold is the

of freeholder in assisting in framing

One of The many persons in Columbus,
Ohio, who have been benefited by the use of
DR.. Williams rink Pills for Pale People is
Miss Jerusha Mckinney, OF so South Centre
Street. Miss Mckinney is well and favorablv
known, especially in educational circles as
she has been for number of years q faithful
and progressive school teacher.
For some time she has been very i'll and the
sutferings and fortunes endured by her for
months have been unusually severe.
The tale of her sufferings anS the subse-
quent relief and final cure which she derived
from the use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, aroused considerable agitation
among her many friends and others.
A reporter was detailed to obtain relia-
bic account of this marvellous case and when
he called he found Miss Mckinney at her COM
Portable and cozy home where she cheertully
complied with his request. She said:
The first indication that | had that any
thing was radically wrong with me was
