DECLINES THE HONOR.
Judge Van Fleet Refuses a SUI
preme Court Commissionship.

(San Francisco Call, December I'D
A rumor was freely circulated yester-
day to the effect that Justice OF the
Supreme Court William c. Van Fleet
would probably be appointed Supreme
Court Commissioner to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Commissioner
Isaac s. Belcher.
Members of the Supreme Court who
were approached on the subject inti-
mated that if Judge Van Fleet would
consent to accept the appointment it
would be given him by a unanimous
vote. The members of the Supreme
bench believe that such an act would
be a fitting testimonial of their appre-
citation of their fellow Justice and a
well aimed refutation of the baseless
slander that was circulated regarding
him during the campaign for political
purposes.
The circulation of the SANDER was
for no other object than to secure the
defeat of his candidacy for reelection
to the position which he has held with
credit TO himself during his term as
Associate Justice. Such a testimonial
as his appointment to the vacant Com
missionership would be, in the opinion
of his associates, a proper expression
of their regard for him as man and
his integrity as a Judge.
However kindly may be the intentions
of the Supreme Court Justices they will
be doomed to disappointment, as Judge
Van Fleet will, under no consideration,
accept the appointment should it be
rendered him He declares that he will
not now or at any future time accept a
position in any way connected with the
Supreme Court that is not given him by
a vote of the people. He feels that such
a course is due to himself as well as
to the people of the State, in view Of
the result of the late election.
Such a delicacy Of feeling is not often
met with in a public officer, and COM
ing as it does at this particular time,
forms in itself a sufficient refutation, If
any were needed, of the base libel of
which he was made the innocent vic
tim. 1t is scarcely possible that the

C. I. JONES MAKES CONTEST
LAYS CLAIM TO THE DISTRICT

Alleges That Votes Cast for Him

perior Court a contest against Charles

Attorney of Sacramento County. His
attorneys are A L. Shinn, c.. T. Hughes

His statement makes the claim that
of the three candidates for the Office

votes. but that the Board of Super

declared Baker elected and issued to
him a certificate of election.
For his reasons in contesting he
AYERS that he is informed and believes
the several Boards of Election in the
various Supervisor Districts were
guilty of misconduct in office; that he
is informed and believes that a great
number Of illegal votes were cast,
tailed and counted in each of the elec-
ton precincts throughout the county;
that several of the boards received
and counted for Baker votes of per-
sons not entitled to vote at such elec-
tion, and refused willfully and unlaw-
fully to receive ballots of persons law
fully entitled to vote, and intended to
be cast for contestant; that several
boards fraudulently and illegally
counted votes for J. Charles Jones that
were cast for contestant, and also
counted fraudulently and illegally for
Baker votes that were cast for con-
teStant.
He also AYERS that the exact number
of votes thus illegally received or re-
fused, and that were cast for. him
and counted for the other candidates,
can only be determined by a recount.
He believes that if such Illegal votes
had not been counted for Baker he
would not have been declared elected,
and that if all the votes cast for him,
the contestant, had been properly cred
tied to him he would have been de-
clared elected, instead Of Baker. He
therefore asks that a special session of
the Superior Court be called and a re-
count had.
A citation to Baker has been issued,
and December 18th set for the hearing
