His enormous business interests in New
York and elsewhere far from here imper-
ativ.ly demanded much of his attention
during the year and it would he impos-
sibe for him to neglect them. He could
not serve the club much as he would
liketo.
Such in substance was Mr.. Oelrichs' de-
cision as delivered yesterday to Mr.. Tay-
Tor, and the latter returned to this City
with heavy heart. And there were more
ieaden hearts up around the Olympic Club
last night when the commute eman ar
rived there and repeated the declaration.
The reform element among the men,
bers has not, however, lost all nope OF put
ting up at least a portion OF lis ticket.
True, William Gre Harrison has sad
that he would not accept the secretaryship
unless Mr.. Oelrchs would take the presi-
dency, but his friends have hope that in
the event some satisfactory and prominent
person can be found to take Mr.. Oalrlchs'
place on the ticket Mr.. Harrison might be
induced to change his mind. If Mr.. Har-
rison holds back the pro liabilities are that
the entire ticket will now be abandoned.
This for the reason that several other
prospective candidates have announced
their intention to refuse to serve unless
Mr.. Harrison also runs. Notable among
these is the ever popular Johnny Hammer
smith, who has already served seven terms
as leader and who is wanted there again.
At all events there is to be another con-
ference of the me m bers OF the nominating
committee to-day, during W hich the entire
situation will be fully discussed and an
effort made to reach some satisfactory
adjustment of the mnddle.

Captain Peter H. Peterson, who has had

OELRICHS NOT

Will Not Serve the Olympic
Club as Its Presi-
dent.
Says He Would Like to, but
His Eastern Interests
Prevent Him.
The News Cast a Gloom Over the
Members of the Troubled Ath-
letic Organization.

Disappointing news was received last
night by that heavy majority of the mem
bers of the Olympic Club who have the
life and the real interests of that organ
ization a heart and who hope to soon see
it restored to its wonted condition of pros
perity.
The news was to the effect that Herman
Oelrichs, the popular young millionaire
had declined to permit the use OF his
name as candidate fer the presidency of
the club at the coming election.
Mr.. Oelrichs did not refuse because ne
wished not to serve. On the contrary, he
informed Wally Taylor, the committee
man who was de egated to wait on him
Yesterday at Del Monte, that he would
deem such an honor one that he might
be proud o:. But he said that if he was
going to be the president of such all or
ganization he wanted TO be a good one,
he wanted to be a BILE to devote to it all OF
his time and exert his every effort and at
ten ton to it, with the end in view that
not only should the club be guided safely
out of its present financial difficulties, but
that il might be re- esta blished as one of
the finest and most solid athletic clubs on
the continent.
But this very necessary time Mr.. Del
richs said he could not possibly spare.

ing to have any man along that is not able
to manage that big an outfit.
'The tramway will be from Stone House,
about two miles on this side of the sum-
nit TO Crater Lake, nearly mile on the
other side. 1t will be just like my old
tramw way, crossing the summit about loo
yards to the left of the route travelled by
men afoot, and by sleeper and shorter
ascent.
II will drive stakes in the soft snow and
pack the snow around them to get an
anchorage for the pulleys that the cable
will pass through. One or two men on a
sleigh at the summit can coast down the
other side and drag up load from this
side. That load sent down the other side
will drag up another load from this SIDE.
There is no danger with a tramway
from sudden binding snowstormS. We
saved several men that way. A man on
the summit simply stays by the tram
rope and follows 1t up until he gets into
camp.
II am thinking of taking some cattle
along with me to do the hauling on the

Lake Linderman we can kill the m and
the beef will freeze and Eeep well, and it
will come in mighty handy. l have used
horses on the route, but they would be a
loss. l don't 60 anything on dogs; they
eat too much.
The 'most important part Of the outfit
for winters trip are snowshoes, for the
snow is very soft. Barrel slaves do pretty

Four or five men taking one trip over a
route on snowshoes can easily pack the

Dyea Canyon to Sheep Camp (where no live

shoes.
'The next stage, from Sheep Camp TO

livered the sermon. He said that the
early years of a child's life are spent
under the roof of those who love and care
for it. But the time comes when little by
little the child draws away from its home
surroundings and finally launches out for
itself and mingles with strangers and tails
into tenn ptatlon.
''Then it is, said the preacher, "that
the child needs the strength of faith. At
this time the holy church bestows upon
the child the sacrament of confirm alton

An Unknown Man Seriously mi ured on

Afternoon.

An accident occurred to an unknown
man at Van Ness avenue and Union street
yesterday afternoon by which he received
injuries that may prove fatal.
Officer McDonough's attent ton was d.
rected to the scene by seeing horse and
its rider thrown down. Investigation
sail fed the officer that the man had been
badly hurt. He rang in for the ambu-
lance wagon and had the injured person
conveyed to the Receiving Hospital,
where it was found that i'll addition to a
badly lacerated wound over the eyebrow
there was possible fracture of the skull,
sufficient, however. to produce comatose
condition. from which he had not recov-
cred during the night, consequently his
name could not be ascertained. From his
garb he evidently belonged to the laboring
class, as his footwear showed the need of
an exchan re in that line. His age seemed
to be about 45 years.

limits of the city water system and
when the chemical engines arrived,
it was useless to attempt to put the

After the warrant was issued it was

The proceedings were not entirely

he has done enough for Mecusker to

and Mecusker thinks he has done
enough for 'rlebby to escape unneces-

the purpose of appointing a successor
to City Justice Gaudet, whose resig-
nation was accepted at the regular
meeting last Monday evening. re-
suited, as was generally supposed,
in no appointment being made.
The council met and voted, and
voted again and again until ten
ballots were taken, and then id
journed.
The first two ballots resulted as
follows: Sheldon 2, Lewis 2, Houde l..
Trebby /. On the third ballot Shell
don gained one, and for the re-
muinder OF the votes taken the
candidates stood az follows: Shell
don 3, Lewis /, HOude l, rrebby l.

would be made, as each one Of the
cOuncilnen scenes to have his neck
bowed for his candidate. and moth
ing but the withdrawal Of someone's
first choice would straighten it out
and break the deadlock.
At the close Oflast Monday nights
meeting Lewis had 3 votes. Sheldon
2, and Trebby l. 1t was thought by
some that Lewis would gain the
necessary vote to secure his appoint
ment at Saturday evenings meeting,
but instead he lost two and Sheldon
gained one, and Houde was again
placed on the list Of candidates with
one supporter.
The cUuncilmen have taken no
pains to conceal their choice Of can
didates. Aldermen MathiesOn and
Schlnitt are supporting Sheldon,
Mecusker IL for Lewis, MoegIe'n for
HOuue, and Martin for Trebby.
Carlson voted for Lewis in &ll the
ballots cast In Monday evenings
session and after the second ballot
Saturday evening he voted for SlIel-
don. Moeglein is said To favor
Lewis for second choice. As 1T now
stunds Martin holds the key to the
situation, but it IL not likely that he
will desert his candidate after having
stood by him 50 long.
The council adjourned to meet
again on Jan. %. and as one faction
has offered to support some candi-
date, not now In the field, and one
who will not run at the city election,
it is possible that the contest will be
settled in that way.
