T.. 4. Conventions.
STOCKTON, CAL, March 3.-The Sec
ond day OF the conventions in this city of
the A. P. A. and the W. A. P. A. was
characterized by the same secrecy as was
observed on the opening day. The dele
gates actually go as fac as to say that the
convention is going on, but that is The
extent of the communicativeness on the
subject.
State President Hudelscn was asked at
the noon recess to-day whether the elec-
ton OF officers would take place to-day,
and he replied that it would very proba-
blv not. He said that the names of the
officers would be given to the press when
they were elected. When asked whether
there was any business done to-day that
might be made public he replied mega
lively.
The session reconvened this afternoon
and the delegates were still working in
secret.
Last evening an entertainment was
given by the women delegates to their
brothers of the A. P. A., but 1t was as Sc
cret as the sessions, and not even the
mem bers of the local councils were in
vited, which has caused some feeling

is turning the tide and several monster ir-

FOURTH DISTRICT MEMBERS
Are Mum Regarding Their Plans,
Except That They We're Ready
to Vote for Jones.

There is no opposition to J. D. Jones
for speaker of the incoming house.
Joseph Underleak withdrew last night
after a conference with his most active
supporters, and the interest in legisla-
tive contests now centers about other
offices The rumOr was circulated
around the Windsor early last evening
that Mr.. Underleak had given up the
fight. and, while he declined to talk
about the report personally, the follow
ing semi-official statement Of the situa-
ton was given out by his friend and
fellow traveller Jens K. Grondahl, Of
Red Wing, who said:
'Some of Mr.. Underleak's friends were in
doubt as to whether or not he could secure
the election. They appreciated he had fight
ing chance, and thought that it might en-
gender a feeling hurtful to the best inter
ests of the legislation and the Republican
party Of the state were the contest to con-
tinue. Mr.. Underleak, prior to the caucus
of the Second congressional district, called
a meeting Of his supporters to learn what
they thought best to do in the matter. He
felt that It was fight of his friends more
than his own and after thanking them for
their loyalty to his cause absolved them from
their pledges. A committee was appointed
to notify absent friends of his action. It
was not a move to get onto the band-wagon,
but simply in the interest Of harmony, and
Mr. Underleak should have credit for the
gracious and rentIemanly manner in which
he retired The final course pursued by him
and his friends again demonstrates the abb
surdity of a statement which has so aften
been limited at in the press, and which have
several times been contradicted, viz: that II
was the main purpose to defeat Mr.. Jones

elected unanimously with the assistance Of
Mr. Underleaks supporters and among the

and when they come up before that
body, it is expected they will be re-
ferred to a committee or laid on the
table Several Of the aldermen say that
it is only three months until there will
be a change in the legal department,
and that an investigation at this time
would be of no particular good and
might result in a deal of harm to the
administration, in that evidence might
be brought out that would on it's face,
cast reflections on other departments
Of the city government. Those who
take this view of the matter, say that
even should the resolution pass the
board of aldermen, the committee will
allow the matter to drop without MAX
ing any investigation.

PORTRAIT FRAME GAME.

self In Trouble.
The time-worn portrait frame game
made it's appearance in the police court
again yesterday, when A. BarlowitZ,
one Of the proprietors Of the Sable
Portrait company, doing business at 315
East Seventh street, was arrested,
charged with the larceny Of two pho
tographs valued at $40. The COM
plainant is w. w. Doran, Of 525 Missis-
sippi street, who, on the part Of his
wife, alleges that the defendant re-
fuses to surrender two photographs in
trusted to his care for the purpose Of
being enlarged. 1t is claimed that Mrs.
Doran allowed the pictures to be taken
on the representation that there was to
be no cost attached to the charging Of
the lilkenesses, as the firm would be
amply recompensed for the advertise
ment which the order would accom-
plish. She was, however, to purchase
a frame from the concern, but only
upon the contingency that the work
was satisfactory. The frames were
listed at from 1898 upward. The pho
tographs were duly enlarged, but, ac-
cording to Mrs. Doran, looked about as
much like Martha Washington as the
two children, and she refused to &C
cept the goods. Then, it is said de-
mand for the original pictures was re-
fused, and the arrest followed. The
accused artist secured a continuance
until Jan. g. when the case will be
tried.

John NJ. Kuhn belongs to this class.
