VEGETABLE DIET NOT
INJURIOUS TO CHILDREN

The application of NJ. ]. White, secre-
tary of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children, for letters of guard
ianship over the person of Nellie Allen, a
14-year-old girl, was heard by Judge Cof-
fey yesterday. The child is member of
the Bitter household at San Rafael, where
she has been living for four years. Mrs
Bitter is opposed to the transfer of the
custody of the child to White and wants
to be appointed the guardian.
Secretary White contends that the Bitter
home is not the proper place for the girl.
The members of various prevention OF
cruelty societies and residents of San Ra-
fael testified yesterday that Mrs Bitter
was a fit person to have control of the
child and the little girl told the Judge
that she wanted to remain where she was.
The Biters are vegetarians, and this is
one of the reasons advanced by White for
the removal of the child Drs. Mattner
and Lyford testified yesterday that a
vegetable diet was not injurious but ben
efcial to young people.
Several witnesses testified to the man
ner in which the Biters conducted their
home and the case was then continued
until October 1S.

LIQUOR DEALERS
ARE IN COUNCIL
Wells or Schmitz to Get
the Endorsement for
Mayor.
Democrats Name Committees
to Conduct the Local
Campaign.

The candidates for office begin to per-
ceiVe that they must get out and make
an active individual canvass in order to
achieve success at the polls. The loyal
supporters of the grand old Republican
party and the indorsers of the time hon.
ored principles of Thomas Jefferson seem
to fancy that this is an off season in poll
tics and good time for the best man to
win. The taxpayers are making inquiry
regarding the candidates for the Board
of Supervisors. The leading candidates
for Mayor-Asa r. Wells, Joseph S. Tobin
and Eugene E. Schmitz-are fairly well
known to the voting population, but many
of the nominees for Supervisors are un-
kHoWn +riot outside of their respective dig dis
zenS who are deeply interested in the
prosperity of the city deem it essential
that the best men available should be
chosen for Supervisors.
There will be liquor dealers ticket in
the field again this year. 1t will be put
out few days before election by the San
gan1zati made up of delegates from the
German SaIoonkeepers' Association, the
Retail Grocers' Association, the Beer Bot
tiers Association, the Soda Water Bot
tiers Association, the Retail Liquor Deal
ers' Association, the Barkeepers' Associa-
t1on and the Grocers' Union. These or
ganizations cover the local field of liquor
dealers For the last eight years they
have been working as a unit at election
times as the San Francisco Protective As
Sociation.
The liquor dealers are not doing poll
tics, but business. No distinctions are
made as to politics. All the candidates
Tor the Mayoralty, the City Attorneyship
and the Hfty-four candidates for Super
V1sors will be carefully canvassed and a
few days before election every liquor deal
er in the city will be notified as to the
men who have been indorsed
There will be no indorsing of Police
Judges, as there is a feeling that all the
men nominated are ''liberal'
A meeting of the association was held
recently at the headquarters of the or
ganization, 214 California street. Repre-
sentatives were present from the various
organizations comprising the association
and a lively discussion ensued of the pros
poets of an interesting campaign. An as
sessment sufficient to cover the expenses
OF preliminary arrangements for the cam
pa1gn was levied and promptly met by all
the organizations represented at the
meeting.
From the most trustworthy informa ton
obtainable the opinion is derived that the
association of liquor dealers will indorse
for Mayor either Wells or Schmitz. The
latter seems to have a slight preference.
Tobin for some reason is hardly consid-
cred in the race for the Endorsement,
whatever his chances may be in the gen.
eral contest for public favor.

CAST HIS ASHES
To THE BREEZE
Eccentric Charles Lewis
Dying Request Car
ried Out.

The ashes of the late Charles Levy,
who died a Stockton on Tuesday, were
cast. in accordance with his dying re-
quest, to the four winds Of heaven from
the top gallery of the Cliff House yes

Quoted at the hour designated by Levy

sank below the distant water line its con-

The remains of the deceased were in
cinerated at Odd Fellows Crematory dur
ing the afternoon under the supervision
of Executors Arthur L. LeVinsky and
Henry Eshbach. When the ashes were
, turned over to them they departed for
the Cliff House together with R. Gnekow
and Thomas E Cooney, old friends of the
deceased. Upon their arrival at the Cliff
House they met John D. Spreckels and
municated the object of their visit. The
executors expressed their reluctance to
the performance of the task imposed upon
them, whereupon Mr.. SDreckels as well
as Mr.. Oelrichs consented to participate

BALLOT PAPER
IS VERY SCARCE
veProblem Confronts
Board Of Election
Commissioners.

Secretary of State Curry is reported to
be short of the butter paper he fur
nishes according to law to municipalities
for official ballots. Registrar Walsh has
been trying to figure out how he can fix
up the municipal ballot in accordance
with law and give to each party top of
column position. He has until Tuesday
next to arrange the ballot.
The Independent candidate who seeks a
place on the ticket is in a bad fix. Elm
ination is the order of the day. One in
dependent candidate for Coroner has felt
the official axe, and DR.. Leland the pres
ent Coroner, has declined to run for the
unexpired term. This helps the Registrar
out a little bit but the size of the ticket
is against him.
Under the law each party must be
placed under a separate and parallel
heading. This will give the Republican,
Democratic and Socialist parties a head
ing. The fourth column will be headed
Labor Party" The law is particular as
to the size of tTpe and the space between
each name. But as the Union Labor par
ty did not nominate four candidates there
is a mortise on the ticket which will per-
nit the printing of three or four addi-
tional names. Bring in another ticket to
Registrar Walsh and the whole election
not enough election butter paper to
carry out the plain injunctions of the
law.
1t will require 10000 ballots to supply
the demands in San Francisco. That is
two for. each voter Registrar Walsh
ordered 80 reams at S2 50 per ream, and
was informed that there were only five
reams left in the custody of the Secretary
of State. If there were 500 sheets to the
ream there would be a margin of 5000 to
operate upon, but as the count is usually
short Registrar Walsh does not know
what to do, printers and pressmen
sometimes spoil few sheets of paper.
Any way you figure this proposition, -
said Registrar Walsh yesterday, leaves
us no margin. The paper is fifteen inches
wide by twenty-five inches long: if you
reverse the paper is twenty-five inches
long and fifteen inches wide. We have to
take the shorter side to print the tickets,
as they will exceed twelve and half
inches in length. Instead of being able to

GETS PLACE ON TICKET.
Many Signers of United Labor Party
Petition Not on the Great
Register

The United Labor party came near be-
ing denied a place on the official ballot
by the Board of Election Commissioners
yesterday. The petition presented by the
party purported to be signed by 1862 cleo
tors, but an investigation by the Regis
trar's deputies developed the fact that 699
of the signerS were not on the great reg
lister. This left 1858 bona fide signers, but
further investigation showed that out of
five sub-petitions one-slxth of l per cent
of the signers had voted at the last pri-
mary and testified their allegiance to one
or other of the two great political par
ties. It was figured that this would re-
duce the 1858 signers by at least $50 votes,
but this was not taken into account by
the commission. AS only 1855 signers were
required the commission decided that the
and so accorded the candidates of the
United Labor party a place on the ticket.

Some of the answers made by the Judge
are very sensational. In reference to the
charge that he still continued to hold a
large interest in the Republican after he
took his seat on the bench, he says, after
stating that he did all in his power to
sell his stock:

each instance the sale not consummated
because. each occasion the Advertiser (the
organ of the Dole administration and of those

in its columns the value of the newspaper and
plant and alarmed the intending purchasers
that the sale fell through. 1 believe that such
attacks were made advisedly at those times
in order that should not be able to dispose
of my interest in said paper and in order that I
might still be kept unwillingly in the position

print two at a time and cut the paper, we
can only print one, and the rest of the
paper must go to waste The margin is
only sufficient TO comply with the law as
regards perforation, numbering and other
details. We gain a little by the fact that
the Union Labor party is short four nom
inees, and under that column must go the
names Of all independent candidates. We
have just about two inches to spare, and
that is all that is left for independent
candidates.
When Secretary of State Curry sent
down the same quality of butter paper
year, the Board of Supervisors refused
to pay the bill. This year Secretary o.
State Curry demanded cash in advance.
AS there was no option left the Board of
Election Commissioners ordered the pay
ment of the money. The paper is here,
but the Commissioners do not know what
to do with it, especially if mistakes are
made in the printing. AS the matter
stands the printer who has, the contract

$4,000 for damages which he alleges he sus-
tanned through the failure of the COM
pany to validate an Epworth League

fore a jury in Judge Hunts court. When
La Motto applied to the manager of the

to have his ticket validated he gave a
sample of his handwriting which was so

ticket that he was refused. He said yes
