The newest robes awe a foule ground
in solid colors with broadcloth appliqued
on in Grecian designs. forming panels,
revers, epaulettes. collars. cuffs or plaits.
Such patterns contain seven yards of ma
terial. Other patterns show black MORE
silk appliqued on foule grounds in all of
the popular colors of the season. One of
the handsomest robes In the market
shows a foule ground with shot taffeta
Of green and rose appliqued on the ma
terial In handsome designs.
Women who travel much not infre-

be much more effectual in removing
traces of this sort OF accident than the
more usual application Of hot water,
as that is quite likely to ''set'' the

with neat jacquard figures In colOrs cor

SALOON PROPRIETORS
APPEAL THEIR CASES

LOS ANGELES, April 1o.-The victims
of the city liquor laws who have been
adjudged guilty of alleged violations un-
der city ordinances will seek q higher
tribunal for redress. A determined at
tack was this morning made In the Su-
perior Court on the proceedings whereby
several saloon-keepers and employees were
fined for alleged violations of the mid
night and Sunday closing ordinance. The
attorneys for the defendants appeared
before Judge Smith and said they were
prepared to argue on two propositions
First, a motion to dismiss on the ground
that the ordinance upon which convic-
tions had been obtained was invalid be-
cause an old ordinance had been super
seded by the new ordinance; second. on
a motion for g. new trial, as the Police
Judge who heard the original trials had
refused the defendants the privilege of a
jury trial.
The attorneys are divided on the right
of Police Judge to refuse a jury trial
to persons accused of having violated
city ordinances, but admit the defendant
has the right to such demand under an
infraction of the State laws.
This attempt to test the laws and ordi
nances is regarded as a determined Of
fort to bring to a head all legislation
affecting the rights of liquor dealers and
is fraught with more Importance than
the alleged violators of the Sunday ordi-
nance who were arrested during the re-
cent upheaval have taken similar posi-
tiona

ELECTION STRIFE
At SAN RAFAEL
Frequent Personal En-
counters.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, April 10-The municipal
election to-day developed the most bitter
contest ever known in San Rafael-a fight
In which political and partisan issues were
entirely lost sight Of, owing to an attack
made out Of religious motives on q candi-
date for the office of School Trustee by a
county official. So keenly was this as
sault deplored by the people generally
that prominent citizens of all religious
and political bodies arrayed themselves
around the standard of the candidate in
question and battled so vigorously in his
behalf that he polled an enormous vote
At late hour the count showed him to
be so far in the lead that his election is
regarded as certainty. Personal en-
counters during the day were numerous,
and on two occasions the cause of the
heated feeling narrowly escaped injury
at the hands of citizens. This evening he
was not in evidence on the streets at all.
Ten days before the election the Social
ist Labor party placed several candidates
in the field and caused some active dis
cussion, but a day or two later County
Superintendent of Schools Robert Furlong
buried all other issues by making a vigor-
Gus canvass against P. +. Cochrane, a
candidate for School Trustee, because of
the latter's religious belief Furlong even
went so far as to try to persuade another
candidate to withdraw from the contest
in order to encompass Cochrane's defeat
The most prominent citizens of the COM
munity irrespective of religious aff1lia-
tion plunged into the fray and made
Cochranes fight in so aggressive style
that he won in a walk
While the excitement was at the high
est pitch this morning and voters were
being brought to the polls in all kinds of
vehicles, a San Francisco contractor
named A. ]. Chisholm met Furlong on the
street and shook his first under the Of
Tending officials nose, accompanying the
act with some language of a violent char
acter. Furlong avoided an encounter by
hurrying away from the spot. Later a
by Furlong handed the School Superin-
tendent his card, the scene being wit
messed by Michael Cochrane, the aged
father of the candidate for School Trus-
tee.
Don't you know better than to ask a
man to vote for you who would cut your
throat if he ddred!' yelled the old man,
as he rushed forward with upraised cane
Get out of here quick!'-this to Furlong,
and the latter stood not on the order
The candidates practically assured of
election by the vote counted at late
hour are as follows:
: School Trustees-P. F. Cochrane, l. F.
Dunand and Thomas Hansen.
Town Trustees-Henry Eckhoff, Henry
Schlosser and Henry Gieske.
Marshal-John Healey.
Treasurer-Arthur Scott.
Assessor-W. f. Dougherty.
City Attorney-Thomas P. Boyd.
Clerk-John T. Buslin.

FIGHT FOLLOWS
FRESNO ELECTION
William MCSWain Hits
Charles JOslin.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, April l0.-There was only one
disgraceful incident connected with the
city election to-day. After the close OF
the polls William McSwain, O. prominent
Democratic ward politician, struck
Charles Joslin The injured man is now
at the County Hospital and it Is feared
he will not recover. McSwain has not
yet been arrested.
The cause of the fight was remark
made by McSwain. The politician was
engaged in conversation with Lee Wof-
ford and made a slurring remark which
Joslin thought applied to himself or TO
one of his friends. Joslin called McSwain
to account and McSwain knocked him
down McSwain then started down the
street. AS soon as Joslin regained his
feet he started after him.
The men met in front Of the Universal
Restaurant on I street. AS soon as Joslin
him in the face The blow staggered JOS
lin and he fell. His head struck the side
walk with a thud. He was picked up in
an unconscious condition and taken to
the County Hospital. DR.. Davidson cx-
amined the mans head, but could not
ascertain whether the skull had been
fractured, though from the nature Of the
wound IL appeared to be.
McSwain claims that after being
knocked down the first time Joslin made
q threatening pass as though to draw
knife and that he knocked him down the
second time in self-defense. After strik-
ing Joslin McSwain disappeared and could
not be found He was seen to enter the
Universal restaurant, but probably made
his exit through the rear door. 1t Is
thought both McSwain and Joslin were
under the influence of liquor. A dirk was
afterward found near the scene. This
McSwain's friends claim fell from JOS
Inns pocket.
with the exception Of this fight, the
election passed off without incident worthy
Of mention The counting of the ballots
is progressing slowly, but enough is
known to make certain the election of the
following candidates, the majorities rang
ing from 10 10 200:

ter. Both the Democratic and Republi-
can conventions indorsed the candidates
for Library Trustees and members of the

contest for these offices.

Gus Braun having secured a judgment
against the Wagner Palace Car Com
pany for $3.50 as damages for a mistake
made by one of the company's conduct
ors, who allotted a berth already sold to
Braun to a woman.
When the error was discovered every
berth In the train was sold, and Braun
was compelled to sit in the smoking
compartment during trip from Cleve-
land to this city. When Braun bought
his coupon for the berth he left his lug
gage in the seat and went to the smok-
ing compartment. He did not return for
two hours. according to his own story,
but when he did he found the berth
made UP and occupied.
The comments of the other passengers
so injured his feelings, he says. that a
money compensation Is due him, he al
leges. The woman In the berth produced
coupon which was an exact duplicate
of the coupon given to Braun.
