Three Committeeman Told That No New Colony of the Shameless
 Set Would Be Permitted.

The denizens of Berry place, who are being evicted by order of Mayor Phelan, quietly sent deputation to Chief of Po- lice Lees yesterday to inquire if the po- lice would interfere with them if they located on the upper floors of build ing near the Temple Bar saloon, at Grant avenue and Sutter street. Their representatives, two doctors and a law yer, stated to the Chiefs clerk that no attempt would be made to open a re- sort on the ground floors, and that the utmost privacy would be observed. A request was made for personal inter- view with the Chief in his private office The Chief sent out word to the commit tee that he could not receive 1t. Fur ther, he said, the Police Department would not consent to recognize the right of the persons evicted from Berry place to colonize in any locality within the city limits. The committee thereupon left word with the clerk that an inter view with the Chief would be sought to- day

 'The weather is so exceedingly warm in New York" he said, that when train ing for a fight you grow weak instead the night I fought Smith, but as he promised me a return match the chances are that we will meet again in this city This Is the only place to train for mill and the sporting people of Frisco will always turn out to see a good fight. The game Is getting murdered in New York on account of the many clubs that are running. I should not be surprised to of New York are very sweet on Sharkey; they consider that he is the champion of the heavyweights.

for the latter the nomination, the lat ter sought, Earl defeated the only chance Alameda County had to get place on the ticket.
 It was a Well-known fact that Brown was a slated candidate and re- ceived the support of the railroad. The course that Guy Earl pursued in the Brown matter and his abso- lute programming subsequently show ed conclusively that his interests were all with the programme or slate men; the enemies of Dr. Pardee and the men who defeated him.
 In conclusion l may add that Guy c. Earls interests were not those of Dr. Pardee or any other Alameda delegation elected by pr. Pardee to further his (Earl's) own interests, as the political boss of the Second Ward.
 I am not giving this publication un- der the sting of defeat, as I did not expect to receive the nomination. l simply give these few facts as an ex- planation of the conduct of a man whom have befriended and have who claims to represent Alameda County He has betrayed me as we'll as Dr. Pardee. He has betrayed Ala meda County, which once honored him and pushed him to the front for a time.

 lished in to-day's Call referring to let ter written by Lou Brown asking his friends to support any ticket on which appeared the name of Joe Lanktree, has brought forth another document of the same nature. The second one, bearing Lou Browns signature, is personal let ter exhibited this morning by Attorney R. B. Tappan of Alameda in which Brown says that Lanktree and Tfsdaie were his friends and could be safely SUD- ported. Recorder St. Sure said this morn ing that he had seen a letter written to Alfred Baroteau from Lou Brown adyis- ing support for the unpledged ticket in Alameda. This is the ticket that caused the discussion at Sacramento which has developed into a disagreement of grave proportions among the camps of the varf- ous candidates for county office.
 When coming down on the train from Sacramento the Pondinkey Club and the Young Mems Republican League passed the following resolution:
 We, the undersigned members of the Pondinkey Club and Young Mems Republican League, returning from the State Republican convention held August g, 1898 do hereby reaffirm our allegiance to the Republican party and again voice our intention to support the nominees.
 But we do at this time express our renewed confidence in George c. Par dee; that he Is natural leader of men; that we are not unmindful of the inspiring lesson of party fealty he has this day given us in withdrawing his name from consideration of the Re- publican convention in the interests of harmony and for the success of the party.
 And for ourselves and the young men of Alameda County we pledge him enthusiastic support should he see fit to again be a candidate for Cover nor of the State of California.

JIM REA IS
 DEFEATED People Of San Jose Re- joiCe at His De-
 feat. Did Not Want the San Jose Boss to Make State
 Politics.

SAN JOSE, Aug 25.-There were smiles on hundreds of happy faces on the streets to-day over the turning down of Boss Req and his man Austin in the Republican State Convention.
 The people of San Jose are beginning to realize that Req is not only distaste- Austin's desire to be Secretary of State was not taken seriously by the resi- dents of the city and county and no one outside of the Req gang thought he stood any show for the place Rea's braggadocio was even appalling, and when he made the statement that he was going to run the convention and nominate Austin knowing ones winked.
 For years Req has had an ambition to take a hand in State politics, and in the placing of Austin he saw a possible chance of extending his balliwick as a political boss. The quietus given him yesterday, coming so quickly upon the rolling" he received at the hands of Major Mclaughlin in the State Central Committee, has lowered his coIors con- siderably.
 Citizens are beginning to realize how corrupt municipal affairs are in San Jose and what a bad reputation the place has earned throughout the State. They are awakening to the fact that something must be done to free the city of the Req gang. It is predicted that the fall election will be the finale of Rea's power.
 There will be an adjourned meeting of the Good Government League dele gates to the county convention at Rutherford Hall in this city Saturday. August 27, at 10 a. m.

One object Is to secure the earliest possible favorable legislation by Congress. the canal built, operated and owned by America The great advantages of this is discussed at length, and particular ref erence is made to the recent long voyage of the battleship Oregon.
 According to the desires of that body the convention will be composed of dele gates appointed by the President or the United States, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, State Governors, counties, cities, Cham bers of Commerce, Boards of Trade and all commercial bodies.

Guy c. Earl Is Charged by James Stanley With Sub-
 serving His Own Ends.
Said to Have Taken Sides With the Enemies of Pardee and the Men Who
 Defeated Him.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, OAKLAND Aug. 25-James Stanley of Mission Sal Jose, who served several terms in thi county as Public Administrator, and wh was supposed to be a candidate for tn State Board of Equalization from thi district, created some excitement to night by publishing the following state ment:
 was a candidate for the State Board of Equalization from Alameda County, and was instrumental in electing the nine delegates to the State Convention from the Forty sixth Assembly District. This was one of the moves that made the coun- ty delegation solid for Pardee.
 Because of the stand I took on be- half of pr. Pardee I was assured by that gentleman of the support of his entire delegation from this county in my fight.
 My lifelong friend. and until re- gently my attorney, Guy c. Earl, who was making Pardee's fight, assured me that after the gubernatorial fight was over he would use every effort to secure my nomination.
 The effort that he made will show exactly where his interest lay. On my
 
 evening I was informed of a caucus held that day by the Alameda Coun- ty delegation. The delegation re- fused to trade on the office I was seeking. At 3 o'clock Tuesday morn ing my friend, Guy Earl, informed me that no trade had been made He also told me that the Alameda city delegation and a portion of the Fourth Ward delegation were for Morehouse, who was not candidate, and that the Calaveras man, Brown, had a cinch on the nomination. He knew all this tQ be an absolute false hood, because MT. Brown never could have received the nomination with out securing nine votes from Alameda County.
 At that time Earl had traded forty five votes for ten without the consent of the Alameda delegation. He knew then that the caucus had refused to make trade on this office, and he did this on his own responsibility and without the consent of the delegates The next day G. B. Daniels spent his time interviewing the delegates, get ting their consent to ratify Earrs ac- combined effort of MT. Earl and all his friends they could only deliver thirty-two of the forty-five, which they did under pressure. At no time could the ten votes of Calaveras Coun- ty do Pardee any good.
 It remains for MT. Earl to explain how Alameda County could be bene- f1ted by agreeing to give forty-hve votes for ten, knowing at the time that Pardee was beaten and out of the race.
 The only excuse he has to offer is that in the temporary organization of the convention there might have been a chance to break the slate. His course afterward showed that he was a party to the slate or programme. He united with the very men who de- feated George c. Pardee for the nom ination. By the trade he made with the Brown delegation, which secured

EARL DID
 NOT BETRAY
 THE DOCTOR Stan|ey's Charges Termed the Utterances of a Disap-
 pointed Candidate. Pardee Affrns That His Political Manager Served His Interests Well at the ~ Convention

to secure my nomination. This Is untrue I told Stanley we would do what we could for him, after pr. Pardee was through with the delegation, but this did not suit him.
 ''The falsehood that I simply used the delegation elected by Dr. Pardee to fur ther his (Earl's) own interests as the political boss of the Second Ward Is too childish to notice. I would like to know how the keeping of an agreement with Calaveras County could further any in- terests I may have in the Second Ward
 Tn conclusion I feel constrained to say that MT. Stanley's remark that his ut terances are vented under the sting of defeat Is an unfortunate one, as 1t Is wide open to criticism. I can only refer MT. Stanley for an example of how to come out of a contest to Dr. Pardee, whom Stanley declares I betrayed

APPLICATIONS FOR BONDS.

There were many enquiries and ap-
bonds, yesterday, at the banks of this
city, not only in small amounts, but
in sums In excess of $500. A number
of enquiries were also made at the post
Office, where blanks are on hand and
information furnished to all who ap-
ply. To-day it is thought there will be
the banks, and the prospect Is that a
considerable number CT bonds will be
sold in this city, as the loan is a very
popular one, and the manner of it's
issue enables any one with even a
twenty dollar note to secure a bond.
