School Libraries.

The county superintendent has
recently completed the list of or
ders for library books for the schools
of Washington county.
These will add between seven and
eight hundred volumes to the librar-
les already in the schools. The value
of the books to the children is ines
Unable. In most of the schools the
books are read and reread by the chill
dren before new ones are ordered.
Outside of the Weiser schools, the
Council school perhaps had the long
est librarians account, ''To Whom
Loaned. "
On account of the freight rate
from New York being so extremel,
high, the County Superintendent ha
ordered the books for all surrounding
schools sent in single shipments t
the central express offices.
On account of some of the district
being very slow to respond, the book
we're ordered about month later tina
they should have been.

DIES OF STARVATION.
OF the last interment the tale is told
among the natives that the beloved
minister had served the devotees of
Soledad Mission for thirty years, suf-
fering the pinch of poverty with stole
heroism, refusing many times to relin-
quish a post that was too poor to sup
port him. At last he fell i'll and passed
away without even the consolation of
the last sacrament. amid the mourning
of his children, dying, it is said, from
illness brought on from starvation.
Tearfully the Indians he loved so
we'll fashioned a bier Of pine boughs,
upon which they laid him tenderly. and
with pine torches to light the way over
the mountain trails when darkness
would fall upon them they set out for
San Antonio Mission, eighty miles
away, that their beloved master might
be laid to rest with the blessings of the
church he served so well. BY day and
by night they bore the bier over the
narrow mountain passes, arriving at
the mission with their grim burden.
lighted by flaming torches. With sor-
rowful hearts they laid him away and
grimly marched back to their desert
huts, rehearsing to this day his sanity
memory.
Tonight we hope to see the mission
once again by moonlight-the Melrose
Abbey of the West.
Here, uncovered.

SCARED with storms,

And then the Angelus, that sweet appeal to

While clouds Of incense sweet, and hymns
Rolled upward to the great omnipotent

With cowi and beads, the monks Of old

Behind them tread the neophytes, with voices
Attuned to song; but they ass into the shadow
And melt away in the gloom.
Under these slabs
They lie at rest-at rest from their wearied
toll;
oh. sacred spot-where lie these sainted men.
Who Of their lives gave all-gave friends and
home, and tongue
And cen the pangs Of hunger felt - and
smiled-for God?
The spot is blest, thrice blest-nore sacred It's

The resolution was adopted

Geary also read from the code and
said there should be certificates from
the chairman and secretary OF the
Santa Cruz convention showing who
had been elected members Of the COM
mittee, but as nearly as he could get
at it there were no such certificates
present.
Murphy ruled that the code did not
apply in the present instance and then
it looked as though there would be an
old fashioned Democratic rough-hOuse-
Murphy said it had been the custom
for retiring chairmen to call the new
committee together and he had follow
ed custom as he did not believe the
code applied
Half the committeeman were on
their feet in an instant, but Geary Sc
cured the floor and shouted that he
did not recognize Murphy's right to
preside as chairman. He demanded
that a certified list Of the committee
be produced before any other business
be transacted. Murphy refused to give
way and ordered Alexander McCabe
to call the roll. ]. c. Ruddock Of Mem
docino wanted a correct list, but the
roll call continued.
OLNEY DOWNS BULLOCK.
When the Forty-ninth District was
reached, the name Of ]. c. Bullock was
read and that Immediately brought
/ Warren Olney Jr- to his feet with a
charge that the list had been tamper-
ed with, as his name should have been
read in place of Bullock's, as he was
regularly elected by the Santa Cruz
convention and Bullock was not. There
was such a hubbub that Murphy had
to take his Jackknife from his pocket
and pound holes in the table to get
order. Bullock said Olney's name had
been substituted for his after he left
the convention hall and that he was
the man the delegation intended to
elect Murphy ruled that names rati-
fed by the convention were the only
ones which would be recognized and
upon the showing made by Olney his
name was substituted for that Of Bull
lock.
Curtis Hillyer had also been elected
a member of the committee but his
name was not on the roll. Murphy
would not recognize his request to
place his name among the faithful and
later it was demonstrated that McNab
had captured the convention.
GOULD CHARGES FORGERY.
When the name Of Thomas F. Casey
of the Thirty was read Frank
Gould jumped to his feet and said his
signature to that certificate was a for
gerry. NJ. F. Tarpey had a proxy
from Casey. Gould moved that Casey's
name be stricken from the roll, but
Murphy was not striking anything but
7 the table with his jackknife. Casey
was voted every time Tarpey had a
chance to answer to his name.
L. II. Mooser declined to address
Murphy as chairman and insisted upon
going ahead with the election OF tenn
porary chairman and when Murphy or
dered him to take his seat Mooser de-
fed him and said he would take or

The Hearst forces met defeat In cha
grin and surprise at the hands of Gavin
McNab in the Democratic State Central
Committee yesterday afternoon. So
confident of victory were the followers
of Hearst under the leadership of NJ. F.
Tarpey that they fiaunted the picture
of NJ. F. Cochrane in the Hearst San
Francisco paper yesterday morning, at
taching this caption to the illustration:
IN. F. Cochrane of Marin, who Will to-
day be elected chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee" Mr..
Cochrane is a good Democrat and a
resident of the excellent county of
Marin. A daily paper may lose nothing
in the field of establishment by pre-
senting his picture to it's readers on the
merit of his individuality, but, never
theless devotion to accuracy requires
the statement that T. NJ. Spellacy of
the county of Kern was elected chair
man of the Democratic committee. The
Kern County man was Gavin McNab's s
candidate. On the outside slate the
name of William j. MCGEE was writ
ten, but the name penciled on the true
inside slate by the crafty McNab was
that of Tim Spellacy of Kern.
Cohorts of the intrepid Tarpey and
henchmen of the valorous McNab as
sembled at the California Hotel at the
time appointed for the alignment. At
tached to the Tarpey staff were such
able lieutenants as D. NJ. Delmas and
Harry Creswell. While Barney Murphy
was pondering over points of order
NTaA Toh
tences of the great nominating speech
at the st. Louis convention were TAX
ing ornate finish in the Delmas mind.
Gavin McNabs immediate aids on
the scene of conflict were Thomas J..
Geary and Frank H. Gould. Dauntless
youngsters like Warren Olney Jr. and
Curtis Hillyer could not be restrained
in their ardor to support McNab. Liv-
ingston jerks, once a trusted adviser
of the Organization" lined up yester-
day with the Hearst forces. Perhaps
the change of base was due to the per-
suasive ]. H. O'Brien, who yesterday
had the presence of mind in the midst
of defeat to move that the State con-
vention of the party be held in Santa
Cruz.
PROXIES IN AMBUSH.
Experts who were detailed to observe
the battle and note the points of STRAIT
egy displayed by either side maintain
that Tarpey was outgeneraled. He un-
derestimated the strength of his ad-
versary. In counting proxies he took
into account only those filed with the
secretary. He did not reckon that Nc
Nab had a battalion of proxies in am
bush. The crafty Scot filed in advance
some of his interior proxies. but others,
concealed up his sleeve, were not dis
closed until after the call of the roll
had begun.
The McNab majority was very
slight. In preliminary skirmishing he
gained two votes. Hillyer and Olney,
whose names had not been placed on
the roll. were enrolled. The test vote
resulted Spellacy 6S, Cochrane 61.
McNab was not satisfied with the
capture of the craftsmanship. He

stalling Thomas j. Walsh. who was
Registrar of Voters under the Phelan
regime.
The Democrats of the Hearst camp
are sullen and sore. The sorest of all
are the Marin County Democrats, who
worship at the shrine of Cochrane.
The knives that are being sharpened
in Marin for Congressman Bell of the
Second District will cut wide and
deep. In the Cochrane councils last
night the remark was made, I'VE had
right to expect fair treatment, but
we got the knife from York. the law
partner of Congressman Bell. York
sat in the committee and voted against
Marin's candidate. Yes. Napa of our
own Congressional district went
against U.S."
THE ANGELIC SPELLACY.
In the speeches commencing Spell
lacy as the right man to lead the COM
mittee in the State compaign mention
was made of his great wealth and
generous devotion to the principles of
and just before adjournment sug-
gestion was made to assess each men,
Der OF the committee to the amount
of $40. but the suggestion was not
pressed TO a vote. There is an i'm
preston that Spellacy is an angel
from Kern who will some time in the
dim and misty future take his place
with the Democratic .cherubiTn. along
with Jim Phelan and Jim Coleman.
At Santa Cruz August %, in the af-
ternoon, Democrats will again meet
and Jim OBrien will be there to vex
the soul of Gavin McNab. Tarpey
may be there also. 1t is within the
range of political possibility that the
defeated and disgruntled elements of
the Democratic party will unite and
smash the McNab machine. Presi-
Dental Electors and candidates for
Congress will be nominated at Santa
Cruz. The whole week at the seaside
will be given up to politics. The
Democrats will probably adjourn on
the 23d and the Republicans will as
semble on the 25th of August.
MURPHY TAKES THE GAvEL. .
Chairman Barney d. Murphy
Tedu the call ana dSkeQ lOdl dll pIOA-
les be handed in to the secretary. The
question arose as to the nomination
of chairman and George E. Faw start
ed to address the committee when
Frank Gould raised point of order on
the ground that the committee had not
been legally called together. To sus-
tain that point he read from the code
to show that the powers of the old
committee had ceased at the adjourn
ment of the Santa Cruz convention and
that Senator Murphy had no authority
to act in the matter. Inasmuch as
the meeting had been called, however,
he (Gould), as chairman of the con-
vention, would ray the action. He
contended that the first thing would
be the election of a temporary chair
man of the committee. Murphy re-
fused to accept the motion and the
jangle began.
Thomas ]. Geary also raised a point
of order and said the meeting was very
! important and the committee should
work according to the code. He be-
lieved a right start should be made
SO as to prevent any possibility of a
technicality being raised by the oppo-
sition and thereby injuring the chances
of carrying the State by a narrow
margin"
