MITCHELL Will NOT
SEEK REELECTION
After Twelve Years Service
Supervisor Announces lie
Is Not Candidate
Cook Crowd Attempts to Grab
Ten Delegates by SuppOrt=
ing Walter P. WOOlsey

OAKLAND, July S1.-John Mitchell
Tor y years member Of the board OF
supervisors and for several years chalr-
man Of that organization, has Win
drawn his name as a candidate Tor re-
election. Mitchelrs announcement thal
he would not be a candidate was made
this afternoon, following a conference
in which a number Of his friends took
part
His announcement follows:
am not candidate for denomination. For
J. years / have held the office Of supervisor ana
during that time 1 have been kindly very s HlnuIs
treated by the public. II has been my ehueaFoI ~
10 serze the interests Of the people, ana my rec
constituency JOHN MITCHELL.
ODDS NOW FAVOR LEAGUE
With Mitchell no longer q factor in
the contest in the NTH district, the stu
alton there becomes an interesting one
with the odds all in favor of the Lin
coln-R Roosevelt republican league ana
its allies controlling the district
Despite the fact that the Herrln ma
chine represented in the republican
county committee gerrymandered the
district in the hope Of retaining econtrol,
the league has made campaign which
gives il leading position politically.
The strong combination in the forty
ninth assembly district between John
". Mott and Councilman Mullins mas
given an impetus to the league fight
there, which win surely overwhelm the
railroad machine centering its fight
around John Kelly. a Southern Pacific
employe.
LEAGUE OPPOSES WOOLSEY
Walter P. Woolsey, a Berkeley real
estate dealer and former right of way
purchasing agent for the Southern Pa
cifc company, has announced his candi-
dacy for supervisor. Woolsey lives in
the hfty-second district. Though Wool
sey disclaims any factional connections
the interesting fact has become public
that he is a brother of Don Woolsey, a
deputy in County Clerk Cooks office.
WOOlsey's candidacy is not looked
upon with favor by the Lincoln-Roose-
velt league supporters in that portion
Of the district which is in Oakland. A
section Of 10 delegates has been blocked
of there by the county committee. AS
this was done by the machine of which
Cook IS the active head, WoOlsey's ap-
pearance at this juncture looks to the
political. experts as an attempt on the
part OF the Cook crowd to grab that
block Of 10 delegates. That being the
case, the league and its supporters will
give Woolsey battle. Perfect organiZa-
tion and strong popular sentiment In
this North Oakland end Of the ffty-sec-
ond district leaves no chance for any
thing but a league sweep of the 10
delegates.

LOSES CASE.
Referee Peter Fisher Rules Against For
mer Racine Dry Goods Merchant
in $4,000 Suit.

RACINE, Wis, Dec. 14.-[Special.1-
In the circuit court this morning Peter
Fisher of Kenosha, referee in the case of
Thomas L. Harnett against George N.
Frat, treasurer of the First National
bank, filed his report which is a sweep
ing victory for the defendant.
Harnett was formerly prominent dry
goods merchant of this city. Owing the
bank large amount of money and being
unable to pay his obligations, Mr.. Fratt
was appointed trustee and conducted the
business for many months and it was
finally closed. Harnett brought an ac-
ton against Frat demanding an ac-
counting, alleging that there was due
him something like $4,000. Peter
Fisher of Kenosha was appointed refer
ee and occupied nine days In taking tes-
timony. He found that Harnett had no
cause for action and that the case be
dismissed
The report shows that while Frat was
the trustee he handled in the neighbor,
hood of $4,000 and that the receipts
and the disbursements were the same.

TELEPHONE COMPANY
WINS GREEN BAY CASE,
Railroad Commissioner Declares Order
to Remove Poles Null and
Void

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 15.-[Special. |
The first decision of the railroad com
mission declaring an ordinance null and
void, was made today in the case of the
Wisconsin Telephone company against
the city of Green Bay as an unreasonable
exercise of the police powers.
The common council first passed an
ordinance for the wires and poles of the
telephone company on Broadway to be
removed within sixty days or pay a pen
atty OF IS per day for failure to do so.
The charge would necessitate an expense
OF $4,000 as the wires would either
have to be removed into the alley or
placed underground
Under the ordinance the company
was placed in the position of either be-
ing forced to neglect its duty to the pub
lie by interrupting the service of the ex
listing lines and thereby causing meal
culable inconvenience and damage to the
public or to submit to an accumulatiye
penalty during the period required for
the work demanded by the ordinance be-
yond the time limit allowed" saws the
commissions report. obviously such
legislation is not a proper exercise of the
police powers delegated to that munich
patty and cannot be allowed"
