crooked work inside the booth by those
who helped incapacitated persons to mark
their ballots, have fallen to the ground
and it has been dem on strated second
time that the recent election was perhaps
one of the straightest, as regards the work
of officials, that has ever taken place in
this city.
When the result of the recount was an
nounced it showed that Mayor Thomas
had been elected by a plurality of 81 votes
This Is about dozen less than was given
him by the official returns. In the sensa-
tional complaint filed on behalf of ex-
Mayor Dsvie it was alleged that in many
precincts more than this number of votes
were known to have been tailed for
Thomas that should have been called for
Davie. There is no doubt that the people
who made these allegations were acting
on what they considered to be relia bic
authority. 1t is now Just as certain that
their authority was entirely unreli able.
After the election ex-Mayor DAVE is
sued statement in which he declared
that he was perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit, and that he considered the closeness
OF the vote vindication of his policy for
the past two years. He refused to believe
all the stories of fraud and irregularities,

Men who had bet heavily on the elec-
ton took the matter up, and after they
had drawn up complaint Mr.. Davie was

that as long as other citizens wanted to

to prevent il. He has not, however, put

OAKLAND, CAL, April 10-Tbe Ala
media County Teachers Benefit Associa-
tion met at the high school this morning
to discuss the teachers annuity act.
Superintendent McClymonds SAID that
the teachers ought to take legal advice
concerning the provisions OF the bill in
order to go ahead in safety. He thought
public sentiment was opposed 10 pension
ing teachers. He said: 1.-THE minute the
public pays into the fund it means a pen
sion, but when we pay it is an annuity.
Under the bill the teacher gets what we
pay the substitute. / should favor that if
the department saves anything by a
teachers absence it should 60 to the
annuity fund"
A discussion arose as TO the election of
teachers and Mr.. McClymonds surprised
several OF those present by saying that the
city charter does not provide that all
teachers shall be elected annually. 1t is
this annual election with the consequent
knowledge that a teacher cannot depend
on being retained in the department long
enough 10 insure a pension that is the
cause of anxiety.
Mr.. Mccarthy recommended that an or
eanization be effected in accordance with
the bill and it was decided to appoint q
committee to look into the question of
tenure of Office, so that at meeting two
weeks hence an organization can be eff
fected.

SMITH NOT DISMISSED
Lively Trial of the Charges
Made by Fire Chief
Fair.
Twenty Days Suspension Is the S 4.
tence for Not Preserving
Discreet Silence
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
90S Broadway, April 10.
The trouble in the Fire Department is
over for the present There was a trial
this morning and the suspended engineer,
w. B. Smith. failed to impress the Com
missioners with the truth of the charges
about Chiei Fair that he told to an even
ing newspaper reporter two weeks ago.
Engineer Smith could not prove to the
satisfaction of the board that Chief Fair
had spent one night tending bar in San
Francisco saloon when he should have
been on duty in the Oakland Fire Depart
ment; neither was he able TO substantiate
the other charge that Chief Fair, who is
far from being a homely man, had been
guilty OF flirting when driving around in
his little red buggy.
When the Com missioners had read the
complaint of Chief Fair, asking for the
dismissal OF Smith, the newspaper article
hat had caused all the trouble was inIro-
duced IN evidence. 1t sounded very differ
emily when read by Secretary Thomas
from what it did when told by the un-
lucky engineer to the newspaper men.
Alter the reading of the article the man
who had been the innocent cause of all
the rumpus was called to the Witness
stand. This was George +. Hatton, aud
he told the story of how friend on Broad
way stopped him and told him there was
a falling out between Chief Fair and En-
gineer Smith. Hatton stated further that
ne called on Smith az the engine house,
and the engineer told him every thing that
he published.
Chief Fair took hand at cross-examin-
ing Mr.. Hatton. The Chief is evidently
new 10 newspaper work, for after Mr.. Hat
ton had stated that the story as published
was exactly the same as his copy he sug-
gested to the witness that ne meant the
printed article was copy OF what was
written, and Mr.. Hatton suavely said Us.
Attorney Nusbaumer made a neat little
appeal to the board and stated that Chief
Far had said he would "break" Smith,
and the attorney also stated that Fair had
brought these charges so as to nullify
Smith prospects of becoming the head
of the Fire Department.
Mavor Thomas then took a hand. He
said that il the Chi f made threats to
"break" man he should have preferred
