Municipal League Compelled
to Go on Primary Ticket
Like All Other Parties
NEW MANAGERS CHOSEN
Wholesale Approval Is Given
to the Acts of the Pres
ent City Administration
Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call

1915 Broadway, Dec. 49,
The Municipal League, which has
been a distinct political party in. all
city elections for more than a dozen
years, prepared tonight for the cam
paign of next spring. 1t was decided
to go on the primary ticket in the way
required by law. This is distinct
change from the methods of the league.
Up to the present time the league has
never held a primary, but has always
selected its delegates through what is
known as board of managers. This
board announced the delegates to the
convention Of the league and a con-
vention was then held and a ticket an
nounced to the people. This was done
in order to prevent any Of the older
parties from competing with the mem
bers Of the league and taking posses
sion Of the leagues convention by
throwing primary tickets into the field
at the last moment and wrestling con-
troll from the leaguers. This year the
primary law will compel the league to
announce its ticket and hold it's pri-
mary in the regular way and under the
CCmpulsion of the new law this will be
done. The board of managers will an
ncunce it's list Of delegates and will
ask the leaguers to go to the polls and
vote.
President Carey Howard of the
league made a report upon what has
been accomplished and the league ex-
pressed its approval of the work done.
A motion was carried that the hearty
Endorsement of the league be extended
to the present municipal administration
and particularly to those members who
were elected by the league.

named Neid. One boy first told about
finding the buggy on the San Leandro
road. They changed their story after
some questioning and asserted that
Neid had found the rig near Butcher

For beating his aged mother with q

lacerated and bleeding and until she
sank almost unconscious beneath his
blows. Carl Christopherson was SEN
fenced to seventy-five days imprison-
ment in the County Jail by Judge Tay-
lor of Livermore. His father, Resmos
Christopherson, treated his wife in a
more brutal manner than did his son
and was sentenced at the same time to
six months imprisonment. Both the
father and the son were brought from
Livermore to-day and are now lodged
in the County Jail
Mrs. r. Christopherson, the victim
Of the beating by her husband and son,
is now suing the former for divorce
on the ground Of extreme cruelty. The
story told by the unfortunate woman
to the authorities at Livermore reveals
a case Of abuse which was inhuman.
Mrs. Christopherson says that on Tues
day evening her husband and her son
became enraged at some remark made
by her and that both set upon her,
beating her with horsewhip until she
sank exhausted under the punishment.
She says that when she tried to es-
cape they tied her with a rope and
kept her a prisoner for three days. She
finally escaped from the house and
reached the home of a neighbor, Will
liam Leary, who, at once sent her to
the hospital at Tesla for treatment.
She then made her way to Livermore,
where the authorities arrested father
and son and sent them to Oakland.

MAY SAFELY VENTURE
TO ANY ALTITUDE

The difficulties of respiration at high
attitudes have attended many noun
tain climbers and explorers and the
theory advanced in explanation has
been that this trouble was caused by
the reduced tension of the oxygen in
the atmosphere.
Professor MossO, an Italian scientist,
has recently disproved this theory by
showing that if the pressure Of the
mixture of oxygen and nitrogen max
ing up ordinary air be reduced to one
third Of an atmosphere, and then the
proportion of oxygen be increased so
that its partial pressure is the same
as normal. the mixture is breathed
with inconvenience, accompanied by an
abnormal respiration and pulse.
By taking supplies of pure oxygen
and mixtures of gases to the summit
of Monte Rosa and analyzing the blood
it was shown, however. that a diminu-
tion in the amount Of carbon dioxide
in the air, due to the low pressure,
was doubtless responsible for much OF
the trouble in respiration. Proof OF
this was afforded by breathing a mix
ture of 80 per cent of oxygen and 20
per cent Of carbon dioxide on top Of
Monte Rosa, with a feeling OF pleas
ure and ease, while the effect Of the
same mixture near the sea level in
Turin was to produce giddiness and
vomiting.
If this discovery is substantiated by
further experiments IL seems that by
the carrying of cylinders containing
this mixture Of gases the highest
mountain peaks can be scaled, while
the mere provision of oxygen is Of
doubtful utility.-Chicago Chronicle.

BOARD DROPS CHARGES
AGAINST MISS WHITNEY
Supervisors Agree That They Have No
jurisdiction Over the Asso-
ciated Charities.

ciated Charities.
OAKLAND, Dec. 19.-The Board of
Supervisors, after a brief hearing this
morning, decided to drop the charges
OF neglect preferred against Miss c..
Anita Whitney. secretary of the Asso-
ciated Charities. The Supervisors
agreed that the Board had no right
Ito try the charges, as the Associated
Charities was not under it's control.
Miss Whitney made a general denial
OF the charges, using the records of
the association to substantiate her de-
fense. According to the records, the
Wiley family, which she is accused of
willfully neglecting, has received pc
riodical aid ever since August, 1901.
The Associated Charities has twice
procured employment for Wiley, and
when he became too i'll to work the
association sent a physician to attend
him, furnished a night nurse, and sup
Piled the family with provisions Just
before the charges were preferred by
Mrs. Agnes Sheppard, an independent
charity worker. representatives of the
association were making daily visits
to the Wiley home.
Mrs. Alice Wiley has declared that
In view of the action taken by the Su-
pervisors, she will take the matter to
the criminal court, and press the
charges against Miss Whitney.
