PRIMARIES AND PROXIES.
Stormy Meeting of the Democratic
City Central Committee.

OAKLAND, Jan. 23.-The Democratic
City Central Committee met tonight and
the deadlock over the election of COM
mitteeman from the Seventh Ward was
broken. o. C. Kirk was elected over
Frank W. Trower. This vote showed that
the Fitzgerald wing was in the minority,
and that the old organization, or Lay
nance division, was in control.
The meeting was stormy from the start
For several days the old faction has been
at work to capture the organization, and
tonight 1t demonstrated it's success.
Chairman McDonough realized his di-
lemma, and did his best under the cir
cumstances, but everything was against
but the prevalence of proxies caused the
liveliest scrimmage. r. NJ. Fitzgerald and
w. H. High represent the aristocratic
Fifth Ward. Neither was present at the
full power to act" ]. Smith held Highs S
proxy, while Chairman McDonough rep
resented Fitzgerald. Smith is. a Lay
Fifth caused all the trouble.
Smith introduced a resolution provid-
ing that the committeeman from each
shall be to appoint twenty-one delegates,
making a convention of 147 delegates.
Chairman McDonough declined to vote,
saying he favored primaries The oppo-
sition declared that primaries without a
law were a stencil in the nostrils of all
good Democrats: After protracted ar
gument the RESOLUTION went through.
Smith then proposed a resolution that
the committeeman at once name the NOM
mating committee of twenty-one. This
brought the storm to a climax. McDon-
ough said he could not, with decency, act
for Fitzgerald on such an important mat
ter, and wanted to adjourn TILL to-mor-
row night. Although the resolution was
passed, McDonough declined to vote for
himself or Fitzgerald or Mcdonald
whose proxies he held. On a motion to
adjourn. however the chairman decided
bpN brought a
and finally the meeting was adjourned till
Tuesday night.

AN ATTORNEY
FAVORS JAIL
FOR DEBTORS
Judge Greene Gives
Him a Scoring.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
ono Proodruaxr Ton


Judge Greene has discovered one attor-
ney who highly approves of the proposed
new law by which Imprisonment would be
a possibility for contempt of court in the
matter of paying bills. o. G. Heaton was
in the Superior Court this morning, and
gave the Judge surprise, but in return
he no doubt received a greater one.
Heaton was trying to collect some all
mony on behalf Of Mrs. Sarah Freeman,
who was divorced from her husband sew
eral months ago. Mrs. Freeman has fig
ured in much litigation, one of her suits
being for $4,000 against woman whom
she claimed alienated her husbands af-
fections. In the decree of divorce Mrs
Freeman is granted S25 per month ALI
mony, but although many months have
passed she has only been able to collect
$65 in all. Now she is threatened with
eviction, as her rent is not paid, and she
has received notice to vacate next month
But although Mrs. Freeman and her
children are in bad plight, Judge Greene
does not believe in having his court made
an agency for the collection of legitimate
debts or for the collection of debts by
means not sanctioned by law. In the
testimony Mr.. Kenny was put on the
stand, who testified that Heaton in a care
less confidential moment had confided to
him the fact that if he (Heaton) could Sc
cure the commitment to Jail of Freeman
for contempt of court, in not paying ALI
mony, there is a woman living somewhere
VINO WOulQ put up money IOr freeman S
release. The name of the woman was
not mentioned, but 1t is guessed that it
is the lady who figured so prominently in
the divorce proceedings and in the many
sensational incidents leading up to them.
After Kenny had given his testimony
Judge Greene, in his usual Stentorian TONS
asked Heaton what he had to say,to which
the attorney replied that he would like
Mr.. Freeman punished for contempt of
court.
Judge Greene looked over the top of his
desk, and, fixing his eyes squarely on
Heaton for what seemed like ten minutes.
said: Young man, we don't do that kind
of business in this court. The case is
dismissed. You cannot use this court
to put a man in jail under such circum-
stances. You have begun this kind of
practice very young, and L would advise
you to make a change"
1t was shown during the testimony that
Freeman has earned $3.50 during the past
year, and Mrs. Freeman declared her in
tention of taking steps to have him ar
rested for failing t. provide for his minor
ohiIdrpn
