WEN DFB STRIKES BACK.
Publishes Many Letters Writ

formatorieS.
Repeats His Claim That Politics Is
Dominant at Whittier Re-
fOrmatory.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL !


Rev. c. w. Wendte published state
ment tonight in de tense of his position
regarding Governor Budd and the lone
and Whittier schools. Since the pubiica-
tion of his remarks he has been receiving
every day comm unications substantiating
what he said. He now repeats his charges
that politics dominate at the reiormatory
and saws that he believes he is iustjfei in
saving that his opinions are prevalent in
pn linthropic circes:
Il had no intention Of preferring set
charges against the directors OF these in
siitutions or against Governor Budd, but
l have seen nothing either in Governor
Blu IDS reply or the bitter rejoinder of the
managers at Whittier and lone 10 cause
me to ret-act my statements
Mr.. Wendte follows his letter by state
ments voluntarily sent him by former
employe Of lone ana from relatives of in
mates at the schools. The names of his
correspondents arc not given. but the let
ters are full OF detail and apparently show
that in more than one instance improper
employees have been retained At The school
and that unWarranted cases of cruelty
have ia ken place,
DR.. O'Brien Is severely handled in a let
ter from Stanford, and strong contrast is
drawn between the management OF MI
Bank and that OF he doctor.
The case OF q secretary, H. r. Bernard,
is discussed at great length. Details are
gwen OF a scandalous intrigue between a
leading official of the school, and female
employe of the institution who was dis
charged by Superintendent Bank. Two
of the trustees, it is sai", wanted to dis
charge Bernard, but Governor Budd APP
poin ted a new trustee by whose vote Ber-
nard was saved.
The letters occupy two columns of q
newspaper and the writers declare that
they were forced into expressing their
views beca use of the statements made by
some OF the tru tees at Whittier and pub
lished in the papers.

by Fusion That Did
Not Fuse.
Editor Preble Sees Breakers on
All Sides in Alameda
County.
Some Want Mcguire, Some D. Not,
and Others Went to the
Republicans.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, !
uOS Rrnatmay, Nov

9Oo broadway, Nov. l.
The Popuists OF Alameda County are
somewhat IN doubt a. to where they stand,
or indeed as to whether they stand at all.
Sheriff White will not undertake to speak
for the party; the Populist editor, P. B.
Preble, says that the condition is "inter-
esting" and J. W. Dutton, president of
the Bryan Army and Navy League, is ''out
OF politics"
The address of the State Executive Com.
mittee OF the party issued last week does
not meet with general approval As q
matter OF tact it has rather com plicated
matters than otherwise. The fusion that
did not fuse of last Novem ber SO broke up
the party that it has not yet come together
again. and the position taken by the State
committee has not made adhesion any
n ore easy or probable
so completely was the party disrupted
by the so-called fusion of last year." said
P b. Prebe. editor of Events, to-day
THAT it is d fficult to say what will be
done by the Populist party of Alameda
County. Last year we did not get any
thing near the full strength of our vote,
because there were great many ex- Repub-
hcans in our ranks. AS soon as fusion
with Dem ocrats was proposed they bolted
at once and went back to their party.
They may not come back, or if ey do
there will be lot OF Mcguire Pop ulists
who will vote for the Democratic candi-
date.
1T seems to me as il the party here will
have 10 be entirely reorganized and built
up agein. 1t is difficult 10 say now
whether there is any party or not. There
will certainly be a split, Tor l anticipate
that the middle ot-theroad men viii put
up straight party ticket while l know
also that there will be Ma. ulre move
ment in this county"
The Populists OF this county profess to
have been so often deceived by their
leaders that it is not easy TO >ay now who
can Justly he called the leaders OF the
party. Ex-Mayor Davie and exCouneil
man Bassett Are no longer associated with
the party and there is general feeling
that il the party is 10 be brought together
again and placed on campaign basis it
Will be done by Adna D. Dennison, who
has been for over year the Acknowledged
leader of the short-haIr wing. Dennison
has never sweIved in his policy, never
showed much kind ness toward fusion and
is more Of a Popullst to-day than he was
the day he voted for Blyan-
While the two Republican camps, as
represented by w. r. Davis anu DR..
Pardee, are apparently sleei ing, they are
dong a great deal of effective work
quietly. The fight is reaching out In
every corner of the county and it daily
becomes more apparent that the contest
is to be keen Neither camp is losing
trick and every effort is being made 10 tie
everybody up 50 tight in advance of the
other man hat the battle will really be
decided within u month.

TOO MUCH RED TAPE.

Dilatory L!f--SiVars Severely Criti-
ciZed fOr Their Siowness.
Much Indignation was expressed yester-
day by several men who witnessed he
sIowness with which the men at the life
saving station responded TO the summons
whica was sent them last Sunday to rescue
the swimmer, Il. B. Cornell, from the Seal
Rocks, whe-e he was being battered by the
heavy seas. They say that the red tape
which plays such an imp rtant part in the
functions of the Government has about
destroyed the efficiency of the life-saving
service.
A. w. Wehe, the president and manager
OF the California Swimming Club, under
whose auspices the exhibitions OF last
Sunday were ven, said yesterday:
81 never saw such slow people III all my
life. Cornell was on the rocks for half all
hour before assistance came and had he
been exhausted he would most surely
have been swept away Dy the heavy swell
which struck h M as he lay on the rock :
exposed 10 he fall force of the waves. As
it is he is all black and blue from the e.
fects OF the blows he received while on
the rocks and his ieet and hands are badlv
cut. l don't know why the life boat men
did not respond at once, as the captain
was inform ed by Professor Anderson,
|
soon as l found that the swimmer could
not make th- trip around the rock 81
Professor Anderson Was also very indig-
| nant at what lie calls the criminal pro-
crastlnation of me life saving crew.
Il rode co the station on my bike as
quick as | could and told the captain OF
Inc sw mer's predicamenI," said Pro. es.
sor Anderson. The Ca plain I'd not show
any concern, and when | asked him why
he did not get the boat out he said tnat he
would have 10 telephone 10 some one
about II. He did telephone 10 Two people
and finally consented to get out the crew.
When they got the boat out they stopped
TO grease the wheels OF the wagon. l
never heard of such a thing III my life be-
fore Ii strikes me that if that is the pro-
cedure that they must go through when
ever they are called out the service is not
of much account. There is too much d
tape aOout that business to SUIT me. |
Cornell had BEEN xnausted when he took
TO the rocks he could not have held out
until the boat reached him. 1t was fully
halt an hour from the time when they got
word Of his danger before the bo got
into the surf.'
There were scores OF people on the beach
who witnessed the dilatory way in which
,he men from the station went 10 the res
ue OF the swim mer, and they did not
cesitate 10 condemn the lax meth DDS in
u ogUe there.

QUESTION OF DIPLOMAS.
Constitutionality of the Act Recogniz-

ing Them as Certificates Attacked.
OAKLAND, Nov. 1.-The State teach
ers' certificates, or life diplomas, were at
tackled by The District Attorney this morn
Ing before Judge Greene. He held that the
State constitution provided for County
Board Of Education, which had supreme
authority TO govern teachers and their
qualifications He held that any act
passed by the Legislature that confi:cted
with this was null and void. The court
asked that the case be- submitted on
briefs.
The matter came up in the case of L. NJ.
Frick against the Trustees Of the Lock-
wood school district for 1915, claimed to
be d ue for salary as a teacher after he had
been displaced by another. Attorney
Shook held that the plaintiff could not
main ain an action as he did not allegs
that he held a certificate to teach in the
county, the only allegation being that he
had held life dipl ma for ten years past.
The question affects hundreds of tea ch-
ers throughout The State, as all graduates
