CHARGE AGAINST OMAN
DISMISSED BY COMMISSION
Says That in 10 Years Service
He Has Escaped Reprimand

Lieutenant William E. Dinan was
tried before the police commissioners
yesterday afternoon for disobedience
of orders on complaint of Captain
James Kelly of the stanyan street sta
ton and the charge was dismissed on
a tie vote.
Captain Kelly in his testimony in
sisted that his orders must be obeyed
otherwise there would be no discipline.
After the Coliseum fire he had issued
the order that the lieutenant on duty
must. in the event of a fire, riot or
ether serious disturbance, go to the
scene and take charge of the men. He
believed that the lieutenant had de-
liberately and Intentionally not gone
TO fire the morning of November 80
to force an issue. He admitted on cross
examination by Attorney T. p O'Con-
nor that he had made an order August
that the station must not be left
without a superior officer in charge, but
his order overrided the manual.
Dinan denied that he had intention
ally disobeyed the order and believed
he was performing his duty accord
ing to the manual by not leaving the
station with only patrolman in
charge. The Joss by the fire was less
than 800 He did not consider first
alarm an emergency call. He had been
19 years in the department and had
never even been reprimanded.

SHOWS LIBRARY OF
MARIA De LAV[AGA
Juan Cebrian Produces Volumes
at Trial OF Will Contest
Before Judge Coffey
Four Postal Cards Exhibited as
Only Known Communica=
tiOns From Dead Woman

Some thirty or forty volumes from
the library of the late Maria Concep-
cion de Laveaga were shown to Judge
Coffey yesterday as part of the con-
test instituted by her brother, Miguel
de Laveaga, to prove that she was in
competent to make a will. Nearly all
the books were of a devotional charac-
ter. Juan C. Cebrian. husband Of Jo-
sefa Cebrian, proponent of the will,
produced the books and said that so
far as he knew they were the only
volumes containing the name of the
testatrix written by herself.
Among the books shown to the court
were: Martyrs of the Coliseum by
A. j. O'Reilly; "Cuentos de Schmidt"
a volume of fairy tales; "Dona Lux a
novel by Valera. a Spanish classical
author Corona Catolica, 'Santissima
Rosario" 'Devout Heart" with cloth
cover made by Maria; "Novena of Mary
OF Bethlehem, "PoeticaI Crown Of Mary
the Virgin" Sacred Heart Almanac.
1907, Hymn to Divine Providence
"Eucharistic Devotions.'' Manual of
werp Museum"
= book of devotional exercises for
every day of the month. entitled The
Way of Heaven" was produced. in
which alongside the Roman numerals
the figures 8, 4, 5, 6, ETC., had been
written in the Arabic form. Pillsbury
suggested that this was because the
testatrix did not understand the Roman
style.
Cebrian also produced four postal
cards written by Maria de Laveaga,
which he said were the only specimens
of her writing he knew of besides the
will and the signatures written in books
and on receipts and checks. The postal
cards were written to the children and
grandchildren of Cebrian and contained
only birthday wishes of happiness and
expressions of love.

POLITICIANS HAVE
KNOTTY PROBLEM
Question of Registration in
Preparation Of Direct Primary
Petitions Is Undecided
Failure of Agreement for Friend
Iy Suit Leaves the Cam
didates at Sea

The failure yesterday of an agree
ment for a friendly suit at Sacramento
has left the question of the legality of
the use of the old registration in the
preparation of direct primary petit
tions in the air pending the decision
OF the County Clerks association.
which will meet in San Francisco
December IL. and possibly until the
courts shall have passed upon the
question.
j. ]. McC arthy, on behalf of Fl. S.
Morrow. candidate for the republican
nomination for secretary of state, no.
titled The Call last night that Nor
rows agreement with County Clerk
Hamilton of Sacramento. for friendly
suit had fallen down. Morrow was
prepared to start his petition in Sac
ramento county yesterday. He had
engaged counsel and he claims that he
had an agreement with Hamilton for
y friendly rejection of his petition and
its immediate presentation to the
courts for adjudication. Mccarthy
says that Hamilton backed out at the
last minute.
The contention which Morrow hoped
to have adjudicated before the first of
the new year is one of especial interest
to every person who may desire to
become a candidate for partisan nom
ination to any office next year. and Of
permanent interest to the electors of
California.
The direct primary law provides that
petitions signed by given percentages
of the qualified electors shall be pre-
requisite to places on the primary bal
lots of the several parties. A prior
law provides for the declaration of
partisan Affiliations as qualification for
participation in the primaries. The
general law provides for a new regis
tration biennially. The old or pres
ent register is dead December 81. The
San Francisco election officials have
ruled that petitions for places on the
primary ballots next August may be
signed only by electors registered sub
seQuent to January l, 1910. Secretary
of State Charles F. Curry and Frank c..
Jordan, who hopes to win the nomina-
tion for secretary of state, contend
that the old register should be used in
determining the eligibility of signers
to nominating petitions.
If their view rather than the San
Francisco idea be accepted as the cor
rect Interpretation of the law the prep
aration OF petitions may be started
more than two years before the pri-
mary election is held. If the San
Francisco idea is sustained all petit
tions for places on the ballot in the
state election years must be started
and finished within a period OF some
thing like six months.
Curry Is credited with the distinction
of being the moving spirit behind the
meeting of the country clerks. If that
be true, it reasonably may be assumed
that the association will decide I'm fa-
vor of the old register That, in turn,
may mean that some candidate or IN
terested party will ask the courts to
pass upon the question.
