Misinormed Bourbons Prematurey Claim Election of Bell
Thomas the Only Republican Defeated
on Ticket in Alameda County.
Dalton Again Victorious in Fight for the Assessorsh1p

OAKLAND, Now with 13O pre-
cincts complete and the thirty-six
others in Alameda County heard from.
Henry P. Dalton's reelection for the
third time as County Assessor over
Charles E. Thomas, the Republican and
Union Labor nominee, is settled. as
The Call announced this morning.
There were many unusual angles to
the Assessors fight which the returns
only served to sharpen. For example
the anti-election predictions of both
Thomas and Dalton went TO smash.
Thomas was confident he would sweep
Berkeley by 1900 over his leading oppo-
nent. He likewise was sure that he
would come out of Alameda with any
where from 500 to 1000 plurality. But
the story of the returns is different
The college town, instead of returning
the four figured surplus, let Thomas
down with 700, to So0s Over the way
in the Encinal city the slump was as
bad If not worse. Final results give
Thomas barely 200 better than Dalton.
DALTON's SUCCESSFUL FIGHT.
This accounts for Thomas defeat. for
Da1ton's vote in the city of Oakland
fell off considerably from that of four
years ago. He did not maintain the
lead in this fight that he had in the
last contest, when he quit with $500
ballots to the good.
Dalton's final figures this year will
probably be between 500 and 500 plu-
rality. He says it is not so much a
matter of figures as Of election. The
politicians holding the usual post NOR
TENS today say they can. only explain
Thomas defeat to the fact that Dalton
still retained sufficient strength to
make the same successful independent
campaign that has marked three out
of the four times he has run for As
SCISSOR of Alameda County.
With the single exception of Thomas

The remainder of the ticket goes

Gillett Intends Re
organizing the
Harbor Board.

Governor-elect Gillett is not making
open declarations touching the policies
of his administration, but the fact is
well known to leaders of the Repub-
lican party in this city that he will
give especial attention TO waterfront
affairs Of San Francisco. 1t is asserted
that one of his first acts as Governor
will apply TO the Board of State Harbor
Commissioners It is said that he has
made up his mind TO reorganize the
commission as soon as the law will
permit of such reorganization, and to
place the responsibility of managing
in the hands of men who possess a
PRACTICAL knowledge of the shipping
BUSINESS.
Charles II. Spears term of Office as
president of the board will expire on
March IA next. Inside gossip is to the
effect that the Governor will then ap-
point some capable business man of
San Francisco.
few days ago Senator Mattos of
Alameda County was appointed by Gov
ernor Pardee TO succeed John D. Mac
kenzie of Santa Clara. but the latter
obtained an injunction to prevent Mat
tos from serving as commissioner.
Mackenzie maintains that he has not
surrendered, and does not intend to
surrender the office Should the courts
hold that Governor Pardee had no right
under the law to displace Mackenzie
Gillett may be compelled to let the
Santa Clara commissioner stay in office
until next February.
Party leaders who are close to the
Governor -elect entertain the belief that
Mackenzie's successor will be a prac-
tical business man of this city. The
new board will make a fairly clean
sweep in the subordinate places. Claim
is made that the water front has been
converted into an asylum for broken
down politicians. and that the system
of taking care of the relics of the past
State administrations has hampered
every effort to obtain good service on
the front.

Slot Machines in
Scheme of Graft

In the course of the civic house
cleaning now in progress in San
Francisco certain matters may be
given attention which on the face of
things promise a good field for in
quiry. The slot machines and the
chimney inspection come under this
head. In the case of the slot machines
there has been no dearth of rumors.
1t has been stated that the adninistra-
tion played fast and loose in cases
where the machines were concerned.
This subject came before the Andrews
Grand Jury, but since that time facts
have developed which make a new in
quiry more fruitful of results.
The chimney inspection involves a
sum of about $4,000. Just what part
of this went for salaries and what
portion went into the public treasury
will be fully determined 1t has been
charged that the salaries paid were
excessive for the work performed and

BY KNOCKOUT BLOW.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. l7.--Mlke
Ward, the pugilist OF sarnia, ont, died
today as the result Of knockout IN a
fight last night with Harry Lewis OF
Philadelphia
Ward died OF cerebral hemmorhase,
according TO the physicians who attend
ed him. He was unconscious until his
death, except for a short period. Four
physicians worked over him throughout
the night. Harry Lewis, Referee Ed
Ryan OF Detroit. and Frank OBTien,
Lewis trainer, were arrested last night
when 1t became apparent that Ward
was In a grave condition. Other ar
rests and prosecutions are expected,
Lewis and his friends assert that It
was not the knockout blow which
caused Wards death, but the heavy
fall TO the floor that followed. They
say the floor was not sufficiently
padded. Others assert that the terrific
final blow received By Ward caused his
collapse and death. He had just risen
from the floor after taking q count OF
nine seconds. following a hard swing
on his Jaw. Lewis swung again TO his
jaw and Ward dropped to the floor and
was unconscious when the count OF 10
was finished.
After the physicians had restored him
to consciousness for q few moments he
relapsed again into a comatose condi-
tion and was taken TO the hospital,
where he died.
James and Andy Ward. the dead
boxers brothers accompanied him TO
the hospital ana spent the night at his
