ARE PREPARING FOR
THE NEXT CAMPAIGN
REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMIT.
TEE ORGANIZING ITS MEN.
Representatives Appointed to Facili-
tate the Naturalization and
Registration of Voters.

The members OF the Republican County
Committee are preparing against the day
when they will be in the heat of the
forthcoming campaign, in which both To-
cal and State officers will be elected The
regular meeting of the committee was
held on Thursday and but few delegates
were noted absent by Secretary P. H
Prendergast.
The small registration up to the pres
ent time is causing the leaders of the
party much anxiety and strong efforts
will be put forth to stir up the citizens
to a sense of their duty in the premises.
The total registration at present does not
exceed ten thousand names. AT a CORE
spending period in the last campaign it
totaled some thirty thousand voters AS
the registration closes on the 18th of Au-
gust the time is short in which to make
up this wide discrepancy.
In order to facilitate the naturalization
and registration of persons in sympathy
with the Republican party T. d. Riordan,
who presided in the absence Of Chairman
Charles w, Manwaring, appointed the
man; Felix Dugan, P. ]. Walsh, P. H.
Prendergast and p E. Mccarthy
Upon motion of Harry N. Gray it was
determined to open campaign headquar-
The matter was placed in the hands of
the officers, who will select an abiding
place for the committee Immediately
1t was announced that names of men
who will act in the booths on election day
must be submitted not later than next
Wednesday, to the end that they may be
submitted to the Board of Election Com
missioners. The list sent in by the coun-
ty committee will be accepted without
question by the commissioners. A motion
by l.. E. Savage that the county commit
tee be especially represented before the
election commissioners drew forth the
only discussion of the evening. 1t was
strongly opposed by Jesse Marks and
others on the ground that the Republican
party was well represented. On his
showing the motion was withdrawn. The
reorganiZed Republican County Committee

YOUNG OSBORN NOT ROBBED.
Attorney Pistolesi Vents His Opinion
of Secretary Frank ]. Kane.

Attorney Pistolesi Vents His Opinion
of Secretary Frank J. Kane.
Frank ]. Kane, secretary of the Pacific
Society for the Suppression of Vice, is
handled without gloves by Attorney L. c.
Pistolesi, who charges him with making
an untrue statement when he said that
Frank Osborn was being defrauded out
of three estates by George and John Engel
and Mary A. Druschel.
The attorney, in behalf Of the Engels,
who are well and favorably known in the
community, makes the following state
ment:
Frank Osborne is q years of age and since
his birth has been clothed and provided for by
the Engels without compensation. Osborn
grandfather, Henry j. t. Engel, died in 1892,
and left a small estate which he devised by
will to his wife and children. Osborn not
mentioned in the will. In 1893 his uncle. ]. T.
Engel, died, leaving will in which he left
Osborn a quarter interest, appraised at SIS, in
a small cottage on Haven street. This estate
was duly distributed and Osborn was given his
share. Early this year his grandmother died
intestate, leaving surviving her three children,
one of whom was appointed administrator Of
her estate AS question Of law is involved.
however the estate comes before the court
on the goth of July, not having yet been dis
tributed, Mr.. Kane's sworn statement to the
contrary, notwithstanding. When Mr.. Kane
desired the court to him the expenditure
of filing a petition, he swore that Osborn
a pauper and had no estate or means. Kane
was ty the court forced to withdraw his petit
ton. Again, when the matter came up in
Judge Hunts court new petition filed by
Kane a sworn statement was filed that cita-
ton had been duly served on Frank Osborn:
This statement was proved to be false. and
after investigation by the court the citation
was dismissed.
These are but few instances of the good
faith of Mr.. Kane, who while posing a de-
fcnuer of whom none seek to injure, does
hesitate to traduce an honorable family.

DRUGGED BEER LOST
PRIVATE PILES PILE
DID NOT REMEMBER HISWATER
FRONT EXPERIENCE.
In View of His Previous Good Repu-
tation Judge Mogan Gives
Him His Liberty.

Oscar C. Pile Of Company A, Sixth Cal
ifornia Regiment, was up before Judge
Mogan yesterday on a charge of assault
with a deadly weapon He was repre-
sented by Attorney Barrett.
Pile ran amuck on the water front
Tuesday night and fired shot at Police
men Bailey and Dover in the yard of the
saloon 231 East street. He had revolt
yer in each hand and after he entered
the saloon by the rear door and while
the policemen and the bartender, Charles
the weapons from him one was accident
ally discharged and the bullet went
through Anderson's hand.
In his defense Pile said he came to the
city Tuesday TO buy a revolver. He
bought one at Shreve's gun store and
later another from a friend on Folsom
street. He had a valise with him and in
the evening he was In saloon on Sac
ramento street, when he met a man who
showed him a Grand Army badge. They
had a glass Of beer together and then he
asked the Grand Army man to drink with
him again. After that he remembered
nothing more till he found himself In the
City Prison. He felt sure the second glass
of beer was drugged, as his purse
was emptied of its contents and his valse
was stolen.
Major Grant of the Sixth Regiment tes
titled that he had known Pile since he
was a boy. Pile and his brother owned
big ranch on Roberts Island near Stock
ton, and the major gave Pile a splendid
character for peace and quiet, which was
supplemented by Captain Dasher of
Company A. Sheriff Cunningham of
Stockton also sent a telegram to the
Judge speaking highly of Piles character.
AS it was proved by Anderson, the bar
keeper, that Pile was accompanied by
another man when he entered the saloon
from the rear and 1t was argued that the
other man might have fired the shot at
the policemen the Judge, In view of that
fact and Piles previous good character
gave him the benefit Of the doubt and

lynched Monday night by a mob. Bailey
during Monday evening shot and in
stantly killed Harry Draper. a well

shreds crowded about the mangled re-
mains.
