WILLIAM EDE HAS
 BREATHED HIS LAST
Body Will Be Cremated at I. o. o. F. Cemetery To-Morrow Afternoon. Is Now Lying at Masonic
 Temple.

Captain William Ede, the well known millionaire street contractor, died in this city yesterday. The hour of his death marked the passing of & wonderful old man, whose life has been we'll sprinkled with eccentricties and whose business pursuits have often been interesting. He had a hobby of investing in bonds and mortgages, and well guarded investments placed the figures of his fortune in the million spaces.
 At the beginning of this year he sud- denly realized that this city had future and commenced placing large sums of money in real estate. He immediately made a number of deals and they were consummated with apparently little con- sideration. The Auzerais property was purchased in January, and two weeks later he secured for the sum of $50 900 the property at 1016 Market street, which ex- tends through to Eddy. He was what might be termed a "speedy" buyer, and the Auzerais deal was made in three days time for a consideration of S152, 900. Most of this property he immediately deeded over to his son. William Ede Jr
 At his request the body will be reduced to ashes. The cremation will take place at Odd Fellows Cemetery tomorrow aft ernoon. The funeral services will be con- ducted by Mission Masonic Lodge No. 169 of which he was a member.

 1S96 when the Democratic nominee for Public Administrator was in charge of the Labor Bureau. Stewart needed work and Fitzgerald played upon his necessities. The Labor Commissioner informed ms friend that he could give employment, but the remuneration would be small. Stewart accepted the terms. He was seek ing a place in the Mint and realized that even little money would serve his needs until something better was obtained.
 He now says that Fitzgerald used him to make a dishonest demand on the State for $95. There is a record in the office of the State Controller that the money was

 On the other hand Stewart swears that he rendered no services, except for lew days, and that he received not one cent of the $g5 paid by the State to E; & l.. tItz, 75 gerald. MT.

 But this is not the most serious allega- tion made by Stewart against the aspir- ant for Public Administrator. The real estate man positively asserts that he rem dered no service to the Labor Bureau af- ter May ', 1896, when he obtained employ ment at the Mint. The records show that E. L. Fitzgerald gave his sworn indorse- ment to a claim that Stewart was em- ployed in the Labor Bureau for the months of May and June, 1896. The State paid $95 tc E. L. Fitzgerald for that ser vice that was never rendered.
 On June 30. 1896. Stewart signed a voucher for S95. He declares that E. M Greene, a Deputy Labor Commissioner so held the voucher that the sum signed for could not distinctly be seen. Stewart succeeded, however, in seeing that the sum was greater than he had earned or that he had received from Fitzgerald. Stewart subsequently confded the details of the transaction to his friends through whom the facts were communicated to The Call. When confronted with the rec ord Stewart admitted the truth of the af-

BLOCKADE RUNNER IN
 TROUBLE ON THE FRONT
THE OLD LAURADA TAKES AN
 OTHER VESSELS BERTH.
Uncle Sam Has No Further Use for a Naval Rendezvous Here, So the Place on California Street
 Has Been Closed.

The old blockade runner Laurada was in trouble on the front yesterday. She arrived off port last Monday morning, and as Captain Fraser did not know the port very well. Captain James Carol, re- ceiyer of the Boston-Alaska Commercial Company, owners of the steamer, went out in a tug and brought her in. He docked her at Section A of the seawal in a berth reserved for the British ship Ga lena The latter vessel was lowed over from Sausalito yesterday, and when the berth was found to be occupied the trouble began.
 Assistant Chief Wharfiinger Scott was summoned and he ordered the Laurada into the stream. The mate, in the ab- sence of Captain Fraser, refused to move mate said there would be trouble if any body touched the ship. Then MT. Scott summoned policeman and threatened to arrest the mate and move the ship with out him. Then the mate gave in, the Iaurada was moved into the stream and the delayed Galena was docked.

The San Francisco call., 1898-10-26

The Call, in it's purpose to subserve the best interests of San Francisco, accepts the duty of exposing another rascal to public scorn. Edward L. Fitzgerald is the Democratic nominee for the position of Public Administrator, trust more sacred than any other in the gift of the people of this city The estates of the dead the inheritances of helpless women and children are, under frequent cundi- tions, absolutely at the command of the Public Administrator. In more than any other public trust personal honor con stitutes in this instance a fitness for office The Call feels it a duty, therefore. to inform the public what manner of man is E. L. Fitzgerald.
 This aspirant for public favor and con- fidence is accused of theft He is charged with forgery. He is held up to public condemnation as a violator of his oath and the betrayer of his friends He is pilloried as one base enough to dishonor his private obligations, and then he asks the tribute of public confidence He is ac- cused of having used a public office to ill his purse, and now he asks another opportunity to possess the property of those that death makes helpless.
 The Call has neither the wish nor the necessity to present anything but the facts.
 Edward L. Fitzgerald swore to a false

 Six years ago Miller was a prosperous butcher in Oakland. He owned a beau tiful home on Hilbert street, and was en- aid and Ole c. Vincent, his companion in many escapades, cultivated Miller's friendship and spent many hours in his office. He introduced them in his house, a trust which they basely betrayed. While in MT. Miller's office MT. Fitzgerald often amused himself copying MT. Miller's handwriting, in initiating which he be- came an adept.
 "E. L. Fitzgerald and Ole c. Vincent en- bittered my life and robbed me until they made me a poor man." said Mir. Miller yesterday. "They took advantage of my good nature and of the confidence l re- posed in them. They had the entree to my home and abused that privilege had a beautiful home on Hilbert street Oakland, and they finally induced me to exchange it for ranch near Elmhurst belonging to Charles Thorn.

 In doing so he recalled another circum- stance of moment. He declares positively that C.. l.. Dam never placed him under oath and was not even in the room when the voucher was signed. These facts, in all their severity, are given to the public for It's consideration.
 It has been shown before that MT. Fitz- gerald has no conception of the solemnity of an oath. On two occasions during the past year he has made affidavit before deputies in the office of Registrar W. J. Biggy that he has resided in this city five years.
 In 1896 he made an affidavit, now on file in the County Clerks office of Alameda, stating his place of residence to be Berke ley. The directory of the same year gives his address as Berkeley.
 He has been the associate of one Ole c. Vinzent in many disreputable transac- tions During the Midwinter Fair Vinzent was in charge of the Examiner booth in which voting was conducted for a gold cup to be awarded the county securing the most votes. Toward the close of the contest it was found that votes, once cast for Alameda County were stolen and were then cast for Solano County. MT Fitzgerald might tell who the messenger was who carried the ballots to the repre- sentative of Solano County The latter had a residence on Adeline street, Oak land, and when in this city registered at the Grand Hotel.
 Upon the death of Miss Valeria Hicke- thier of Oakland. in 1895, a joint note signed by E. L. Fitzgerald and Ole c. Vinzent for $40 was found among her eff
