TIES FOR FIRST PLACE
BUT CANNOT GET DRAW
Joseph Wright of Napa Learns That
Rules of Law and of Athletics
Are Not ANALOGOUS

Joseph C. Wright tied Frank Ash
ton for first place in the race for JUS
tice of the Peace of Hot Springs, Napa
County, but the Superior Court and
the Supreme Court have both decreed
that he is not entitled to a draw. The
canvassing board declared that Ash
ton had been elected.
Wright contested and on the re-
count it was found that each caudi-
date had received seventy-nine legal
votes. The proceeding was dismissed
and the costs were divided. That left
Ashton still in Office. Wright appealed
to the Supreme Court on the ground
that he was entitled to something and
he has received near the jugular all
that is his according to the law.
1t is therefore established as a pre-
cedent that where candidates get an
equal number of votes the man who
gets to the Office first wins.

DIR. HEREFORD DIES
AT THE TELEPHONE
Well Known Physician Is Stricken at
His Home Toward the Close of
an Orgy

Dr. William S. Hereford was found
dead yesterday morning in his office
at 1851 Larkin street. His body was
straddling a chair in front of the Of
flee telephone. his breast pressing upon
the back of the chair. The telephone
book and a 25-cent piece lay on the
floor where he had dropped them. 1t
was evident that he was about to use
the telephone when he was stricken
down. He was 50 years of age and
was an employe of the city Board of
Health.
DR.. Hereford's wife died about two
months ago and he was inconsolable
over her loss. He was drinking
heavily last Saturday and fell upon
the sidewalk in front of his home
cutting a cash in his chin. Bystanders
had him sent to the Central Emer-
geney Hospital, where the wound was
dressed, after which he was taken
home. He was the father-in-law of
II. S. Morton of the Morton Draying
and Warehouse Company.

BUILDING FUND
IS ENDANGERED
Young Mems Christian As
SOciatiOn May Forfeit
Many Thousand Dollars
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway, June 13.
With all but $3.50 pledged out of the
$3.50, 900 necessary TO assure the imme-
date erection of a new building, the
Young Mems Christian Association is
facing a most serious difficulty. Unless
the entire amouT is secured by mid
night of June 10 the pledges already
obtained will lapse, releasing the sign
ers from their obligations.
1t is not probable that the association
would even under these circumstances
lose all the funds already raised for the
new building. Many subscribers would
not withdraw their subscriptions, even
though the terms of their contracts al
low them to do so, but several of the
largest donations already made were
promised on condition that the entire
amount of the $3.50, 900 be raised by June
10, 1904. 1t is these pledges, aggregating
more than half the total, that are
placed in jeopardy. The officers of the
association are using every effort to
complete the fund in order to bind the
contract and secure the money already
pledged
Collections for the new Young Mems
Christian Association building were
taken yesterday in many of the local
churches, and partial reports Of the re-
suits were made known this morning.
The First Presbyterian and First Meth
odist churches gave $3.50. Ten other
churches still remain to be heard from,
and until their reports are received the
exact amount of the deficit will not be
known
The site for the new building, at
Fourteenth and Jefferson streets, has
been paid for with the exception Of
$4,000, and this Indebtedness will be
cleared within the next sixty days. If
the association succeeds in securing the
necessary funds to bind all the pledges
to the building fund work will be be-
gun on the new building as soon as
suitable plans are approved by the
board of directors.

Meyer Must BE Tried.

United States District Judge de
Haven yesterday overruled the de-
murrer of the defendant in the case
of the United States VS.. John Meyer,
indicted for opening a letter and en-
beZzling $40 III currency that it con-
tanned. The letter was addressed to
John Lava at "a Filbert street in this
city. The Judge held that the de-
livery may have been made to the place
addressed and not to the person ad-
dressed or to his authorized agent.
The embezzlement or the destruction
of the letter before it has been actu-
ally delivered to the person to whom
it was directed or to his authorized
agent is an offense under section 1892
of the Revised Statutes.

Claim of the Regents for

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway, June IS.
The Pacific States Surety Company,
IN an answer filed to-day 10 a suit
brought against IL by the Regents OF
The University Of California, denied
that il is responsible to the extent of
5000 for the defalcation of w. A. Nc
kowen. For a number of years the
surety company supplied a bond in the
sum OF $1,000, but this. il is stated, was
allowed TO run out July /. 1903.
The company claims that its respon-
sibility terminated, according to its
contract, three months later, whereas
the defalcatiOn was not discovered un-
til December 19.
Another point made by the company
is that il required a statement Of the
book accounts kept by McKowen each
year before renewing the bond. In
each of these statements il was said
that McKOWen's work was entirely sat
isfactOry, and il was only upon those
statements that the'company consented
10 renew the bond, and had the books
been properly exported and a true
statement made to the company ii
would not have allowed itself 10 be-
come responsible for any part Of the
s51, ,429 2S that was stolen.
