Mr. Bradbury arose to second the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Tiffany, and said that in
conversation that afternoon with Mr..
Dohrmann, the latter had told him that
if good men were nominated on the
ticket the Republican party would be sue
cessful at the polls He therefore in the
interest of good government earnestly ad-
vocated Mr.. Tiffany.
j. b. Barber arose, and in loud voice
stated that Mr.. French was not born in
this city but in the glorious State of
Maine, and that he was not running for

passed for the time being. The next Office
to receive the attention of the delegates
was that of District Attorney. II. c.
Schaertzer of the Forty-second District
took the floor and placed Alfred p. Black
in nomination. He spoke highly of Mr..
Blacks fitness for the office, stating that
he was not connected with the incumbent
in the position of Assistant District Attor-
ney, that Mr.. Black had not decided to
allow his name to go before the caucus
until yesterday morning; that although
he did not seek the office, if he
were honored with the nomination he

OUARAN TINE OF
CONSUMP
Subject Discussed BY
Health Boards.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. "a subject Of
great import to the people of Southern
California the exclusion of consumptives
and the quarantining of tuberculosis pa
tents already here, was discussed at
joint meeting of the State and city Boards
of Health this afternoon. At this meeting
there were present DR.. D. D. Crowley of
Oakland. Dr. Louis BaZet of San Fran
cisco, Dr. c. w. Ruggles Of Stockton, DR..
w. P. Matthews of Sacramento and Dr.
r. ". Hill of this city.
Neither the State board nor the city
board committed itself to enforced pro-
lection of the public from the arch de-
stroyer of mankind, and 1t Is not expected Gtts
State board has adopted resolution
agreeing to a thorough investigation OF
the subject.
are strongly in favor Of the adoption CT
methods looking to the abatement OF the
disease. DR.. J. H Davisson, member
| of the city board, advocated the protec-
tion of the California public from the raw
ages of imported tuberculosis while pres
ident of the board. The population OF
climate, especially in the Southern part,
would render native tuberculosis a rare
and uncommon aff1iction of mankind,
should not longer, the doctors say be eX-
posed to the contagion of disease
brought by the unfortunates OF other
States.
1t was decided to adopt measures to ef-
fectively quarantine against smallpox.
The board has recommended the placing
of inspectors at Needles and Yuma. The
Jurisdiction of these inspectors shall not
be in narrow limits, but the entire border
of Arizona and Mexico will be patrolled,
so that a repetition of the recent invasion
of the disease may be prevented.

parted for his work and thought little Of
the consequences of the quarrel.
About midnight last night he returned
to his home. The door was closed and
there was a light in the room. Thinking
that his wife had become intoxicated
again. he pushed the door open and the
horrifying spectacle of Mrs. Rebeneck
hanging by the neck to the bedpost met
his eyes Around her neck was sheet,
one end of which had been fastened to
the upper part of the post. The woman
had thrown herself down by the side of
the bed and slowly strangled to death.
The police were notified and the body was
taken in charge by the Coroner's deputies.
Mrs. Rebeneck was q years of age and
a native of California.

marched up 20 the platform and depos-
tied his $40 and then delivered eulogy
on his candidate. He said the oftice was
an important one and that on the nom
ination made by the caucus would rest
the success Of the ticket at the coming
election. fIec He therefore placed Albert
told of his many victories in the past;
dWelt on his honesty and fattbfulness to
the pledges he took while in office. He
said good men are needed and good men
have been chosen to represent the party
on the ticket, but he thought the dele
gates should look "Heyer.' This pun
created laughter
He was followed by L. L. Solomons,
who promised not TO make a pun on his
candidates name, but at the close of his
eulogistic speech on him said he would
have TO ask the members of the caucus to
look very low for good man-down In
the "Myer." Without waiting for the risi-
bles to subside he mentioned NJ d. Myer
as fitting selection for the office A
vote being taken. Heyer received 1850 and
Myer 30. Mr.. Solomons moved that the
nomination of Mr.. Heyer be made unani-
nous which was promptly agreed to by
the caucus.
Nominations for Tax Collector were
next in order, and Il. b. Haynes of the
Thirty-seventh District said it was his
happy privilege to place in nomination j.
II. Scott. a gentleman who was In every
way qualified to hold that important Of
flee. He said Mr.. Scott had never filled
a political office; he was not of that class
of citizens who is always chasing the elu-
sIve official dollar. He said his candidate
was in this city thirty-seven years ago
and had grown up with the municipality,
and is to-day one Of the leading business
men of the city and president of the
Scott-CurtaZ Piano Company. The speak
er assured his auditors that Mr.. Scott
had the ability and the means to fill that
office with honor. and II he was given the
nomination he would roll up a tremendous
majority. The nomination was seconded
by Delegate King in a few fitting SEN
tences.
Again Delegate Soomons stepped for
ward, and with smile beaming on his
countenance Said: Gentlemen, / am al
most out of money by this time. but / rise.
Phenix-like from the ruins of my recent
defeat with a nomination, this time, how
ever, with a winner" He said he had a
man in the Fortieth District just fitted
for the Office of Tax Collector, and his
name was j. Harry Baehr He said no
adverse criticism could be made against
him, as he had lived in the community
with honor to himself; that he was a dep
uty in the County Recorders office, that
he was possessed of energy, and, what
was even more in his favor, was extreme
ly popular. Chairman Kellogg announced

reasons were cited to show why the sub
sequent changes in the constitution, which
are supposed to be amendatory of the
above section, are not such, as they do
not expressly state that fact.
Campbell also declared that the city and
county of San Francisco were consol-
dated and not merged, into one form of
government; that it was a dual form, in
which one performed the functions for the
State and the other for the city.
I'VE were not merged he said ''nor
have we been at any time since the adop-
ton of the charter. We can only be
merged by the direct action of the Legis-
lature.
The hour allowed the respondents was
divided between H. n. Clement and Gar
ret McEnerney. Clement began the refu-
tation of arguments advanced by the ap-
pellants and read many excerpts from
cases gathered from many States.
McEnerney closed with a logical analy-
sis of the case and the presentation of
law relating to his side of the cause. He
declared that section of article II was
not in conflict with section S19, and that
the latter must hold, as it was subse-
quently passed and gave the right to elect
these officers under the charter; also, that
there was a merging of both city and
county in the consolidation act and the
building up of new entity by the consol-
dation of both.

the vote. A great deal of warm feeling
was engendered by the outcome OF the
contest.
Percy Long was the first to catch the
speakers eye when nominations for Sher-
iff were in order. He placed Ed |: Head
in nomination. He told of his, good work
as School Director and of his high stand
ing in the city. J. G. Boyne followed by
nominating Honest John Lackmann,
and the shout that greeted his glowing
peroration only foretold his being chosen
for place on the ticket. Delegate Maer
said 1t gave him a great deal of pleasure
to second Mr. Lackmann's nomination.
]. K. G. Hobbs voiced his approval of Mr..
Lackmanns candidacy. On vote being
taken Mr. Lackmann received 141 votes
and Head 3S. Mr.. Long made Mr.. Lack
mann's selection unanimous.
Nominations for the office of Coroner
were next in order. Delegate Harron

her husband, Mrs. May Rebeneck hanged
herself to a bedpost in her rooms at 403
Stevenson street last evening. Her body
was discovered about midnight by her
husband when he returned from his work,
but life had been extinct for some hours.
Mrs. Rebeneck was the wife of Fred
Rebeneck, waiter employed, in the
Zinkand. She has been addicted to the
use Of alcoholic stimulants and frequently
became intoxicated. She spent consider
able money while on her sprees and was
often rebuked by her husband for her ex-
cesses. Last night about 6 o'clock the
couple had a quarrel. Angry words were
spoken and the husband threatened to re-
fuse his wife money In future if she con-
tinued to drink. Shortly afterward he de-

slider the qualifications of the candidates
for Police Judges and that it report at
the next meeting of the caucus. Max
goldberg thought the motion was in
definite. He inquired whether the COM
mittee was to report the number to be
nominated or as to their qualifications.
Judge Schell thought the question was
answered in the original motion, but for
the benefit of his interrogation he stated
that the committee was for the purpose
OF reporting back on the qualifications of
the candidates.
Delegate Goldberg replied that while he
was satisfied with committee on Su-
perviSorS, he was not satisfied with a
committee on Police Judges. He said
that every one within the sound of his
voice was capable of choosing the men
TO represent the party at the coming
election. He thought the names should
be placed before the caucus and let it
choose its representatives.
Delegate Sargent offered as an amnd-
ment that the names of the candidates be
stated in open convention and the com
mittee could then decide on their fitness.
In answering Delegate Goldberg he said
those VINO We're not attorneys do not
know the qualities of these men. 1t
would be like calling upon a layman TO
report on steam engine. Judge Schell
accepted the amendment and made II a
part of his original motion. but before
1t could be put to the delegates, stated
that he did not make the motion with
view to reducing the number of can
dtdateS who would undoubtedly be pre-
sented TO the caucus, but it was to de-
eide on their fitness. He said he knew
of three candidates who are disqualified
under the charter by reason of non-resi-
dence and not being admitted to practice
in the Supreme Court He thought ii
was proper for the committee to investi-
gate the candidates to see if they were
legally qualified. A delegate from the
Thrty-siXth District Interrupted the
speaker to suggest that the members of
the committee be appointed from each
district, as was done in the matter of
the Supervisors. Judge Schel acquiesced
in this and the motion was put by the
chairman and carried

arguments in another branch of the
charter case yesterday, and heard
reasons pro and con In regard TO
- the validity of an election this
fall for county officers. The ap-
peal was taken on mandamus proceedings
to enjoin the Board of Election Commls-
sioners from the expenditure of money
for calling the election of county officials.

the respondents, the Board of Election
Commissioners.
j. C. Campbell opened the argument,
and stated the case of the county officers
who desire to hold the full tenure of their
former statutory terms, notwithstanding
the election of officers under the charter.
He claimed that the charter in respect TO
county officers was subject to and con-
trolled by general laws and that the
county government act is a law of that
description, and therefore, by virtue OF
the express language in section of ar
ticle II of the constitution, the provisions
of the charter for the election of county
officers this year are in violation OF the
county government act Various other
