CRAIG rs SENT UP
FOR SEVEN YEARS
MUST SERVE THAT TERM IN
FOLSOM PRISON.
Oscar Stegenberg Given Twenty
Years-Five Incorrigibles Sent
to the Whittier Reform
School.

John Craig, who, while in the service
of the Worlds Fair Commission in 1892
forged the name of Irving NJ. Scott to a
check for $500 upon the Croker Wool
worth Bank, must spend the next seven
years of his life behind prison bars. Last
Friday when the case of Craig was called
Eugene Deuprey, who represented the
prisoner, created a sensation by stating
that his client had not had a fair trial;
that the court had refused to issue an
attachment for State Controller Colgan
when requested to do so, and that Col
CANS evidence was Of great Importance.
Judge Wallace at the time was angry
and he put the case over a week to look
up the record, but contrary to eXpeCta-
lions no allusion to the incident was
made yesterday. Deuprey quietly submit
ted a motion Tor an arrest of judgment
and for new trial. Both were oVerruled
and the court sentenced Craig to seven
years in Folsom.
Oscar Stegenberg. who on the 21st of
last February robbed John Johnson of 49,
was sent to Folsom for a term of twenty
years. J. +. Tibbetts, who pleaded guilty
of embezzlng a watch and ring from Geor-
gle f. Hubbard, was sentenced to six
months in the County Jail. Dennis Gal
lagher, John McKeever, James O'Malley,
Albert Wagner and Edward Warner, in
corrigibe youths, were sent to Whittier
Reform School Wagner and O'Malley
had pleaded guilty to charges of burglary
but sentence was suspended during their
confinement in the school.

MEAD'S HEAD FALLS
INTO THE BASKET
HE Is oUSTED FROM THE MINT
BY TELEGRAPH.
Dismissed by the Secretary of the
Treasury Without Investiga-
tion-The Victim May
Retaliate.

The head Of Assistant Coiner M. H Mead
Of the Mint is now in that metaphoricai
basket made for politicians and those
that love them.
superintendent F. A. Leach yesterday
received a Geographic announcement
from the Secretary of the Treasury that
Mr. Mead was dismissed from the service.
This action at Washington followed on
the arrival there of the documents in the
case forwarded from here.
AS related a few days ago In The Call,
Conner SPOTS recently suspended Mead,
and in a report to Superintendent Leach
wrote: II have reason to report want
of fidelity and reason to suspect the in
tegrity of Michael II. Mead and also
charged "dereliction Of duty, delinquency
and misconduct in Office" and recon-
mended dismissal from the service.
No further particulars of ex-senator
Mead's delinquencies were given out at
the Mint. Superintendent Leach forward
ed Coiner SPOTS order and recommends
ton. with his own Endorsement and with
testimony in the case which has not come
to light. 1t appears from the prompti-
tude of the action at Washington that no
investigation was wanted.
Superintendent Leach was willing to say
about the case yesterday, and as to the
succession the news obtainable was en-
braced in the information that 'some
names are being considered
Mr.. Mead was yesterday reported out
of town for a week, and his attorney
Frank MCGOWAN, was off on a. trip to
Humboldt.
Mr.. Meads intimate friends assert
however that he has by no means given
ton. and will carry the war even into
Washington.

CELEBRATED TWO
FOURTHS OF JULY
PASSENGERS ON THE GAELIC
JUGGLE WITH THE DAYS.
Miss Alice Nielsen Entertains With
Song While on the Ocean
Deep.

But few Americans have an opportunity
same month of the same year. This is
no paradox, as the passengers of the Gaze
lie, which arrived yesterday from the
Orient, will attest. They had their first
Fourth of July when we were celebrating
the stirring victory of Schley at Santiago
and their second Fourth was sandwiched
in on the 1S0th parallel
All on board participated in the cele-
bration on the ocean wave and so sue
cessful was the first days jubilee that
the second Fourth was also given over
to fireworks and a popping of fizz bottles
by the more patriotic. The captain prom
ised to supply champagne for all on the
Fourth of July, and as there was much
debate as to which was the only genu-
inc and exclusive Fourth his promise was
adjudged by court of last resort to ex-
tend to all Fourths that might occur in
the year 1898.
The feature of the exercises was the
singing of 1.-The Star-spangled Banner
the Goddess of Liberty and rendered
many of the patriotic songs of this coun-
try, winning high praise from all. The
celebration was the most noteworthy
ever held on board the Gaelic. All ap-
proved of the two days celebration witt,
the exception of an Englishman. who did
not think it was quite the proper thing
He agreed with the rest that the Fourth
of July was a great day, but he could
see neither rhyme nor reason in running
1t through forty-eight hours.

READY FOR ITS OCCUPANTS
OUTING OF THE LEAGUE OF THE
CROSS CADETS.
Pretty Spot Selected for the Eendez-
vous of the Young Men and
Their Expected
Visitors.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, July 15.-Camp Mont
gomery, as the beautiful spot chosen
for the summer outing of the League
Of the Cross Cadets will be known, is
fast taking the appearance of mill
tary rendezvous. The advance guard,
consisting of thirty men under the
command of Lieutenants Mahoney and
Carroll, arrived last night in full
marching order, with knapsacks and
rolled blankets on their backs, and
marched to Camp Montgomery. where
they passed the night.
Bright and early this morning the
first of the 120 tents which arrived on
Thursday were erected in their proper
positions. The march was continued
all day and tonight the city of tents
gives fair idea Of the view which the
first sight of Camp Montgomery" will
present to the main body Of the cadets
when they arrive tomorrow night.
The spot chosen for the camp is in
the rear of the beautiful park known
as the City Gardens, situated only a
few blocks from the center of the city.
The boys will be camped right on the
banks Of Santa Rosa Creek, and as the
park is supplied with running water,
electric lights and splendid dancing
platform, the accommodations are all
that could be desired
Colonel Adolph Huber, who has
charge of the commissary department,
was among the first arrivals upon the
scene. Having had charge of the same
branch of the work during the last sea-
sons encampment he appreciates the
enormity of the contract he has on his
hands in feeding the 400 young men
who will spend the coming week in this
city, and he proposes to take no
chances of not being properly prepared
for their arrival. He already has the
long tables arranged in the way they
are to be placed, and the camp kitchen
was this morning tested for the first
time. 1t was found to work admira-
bly,, and his corps Of assistants ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with the
arrangements,
The main body of the cadets, about
400 strong, will arrive on the o'clock
train Saturday evening. They will
bring their own splendid band. During
the week many out-of-town visitors
will be their guests. Excursions from
San Francisco have been arranged and
plans for accommodating the visitors
at the regular mess tables have been
perfected.

POPULISTS IN A SNARL
Shanahan May Not Have Been
Legally Made a Candidate
foT, Governor

Lawyers of this city are much averse
to expressing opinions as to the law In
regard to the case of the boiling Popu-
lists who nominated Shanahan at Sacra-
mento. but the general belief is that his
nomination will be declared invalid If
the case is taken to the courts.
Carrot McEnerney said he desired to
give no definite opinion as to the law, but
stated that the chances were largely In
favor of court declaring Shanahan's
nomination Illegal. He said that the Sec
ton of the Political Code on which the
fusonists base their claim that the bolt
ers have violated the law has never been
repealed and is consequently still in
force. The section is as follows:
No certificate of nomination shall contain
the name of more than one candidate for each
office to be filled. No person shall Join In
nominating, under the provisions of this code
more than one nominee for each office to be
filed, and person who has voted in a con-
venton for against a candidate for any
office shall join in nominating in any manner

This was passed in 1891 and is a portion
of the law in regard to the Australian
ballot system. The Penal Code provides
a penalty of fine and imprisonment for
the violation of any election law, but the
legal lights think that there could prob

above section, as it is hardly more than
a definition of what shall constitute a
valid certificate of nomination Laymen

some it is believed that the boilers have
