ernor Burke had this power but we
will state that the legislature also had
this power. But what would the dem
ocrats" have said had the republicans
done as Burke has done7
Now, a word more: In what light
has the progressive" wing Of the party
placed itself In this case? Have they
not joined in with the governor to east
aside the very principle they have so
ardently preached to the people. /. e.,
the primary law?
Did they not advocate to Governor
Burke that he appoint progressive re-
publican fer the sole reason that that
faction would be in a better position
to down the staiwart faction? We
contend, at this time, that If Governor
Burke had been true to the principles
of the primary election law, which he
has so eloquently advocated. he would
have appointed the choice of his party
as shown by the result of the ballot
at the last primary election, whether it
reflected his own personal views or
not. We also contend that had the
progressive" wing OF the republican
party been true to that principle, (and
this has been the main plank in their
PLATFORM, they would not have urged
the governor to disregard the unani-
nous will Of his party and appoint a
man from their ranks.
1t looks very much to us that these
two factions, namely, the democrats
and progressive" republicans, believe
in principle and law for "stalwarts"
but "any old way for them TO secure
the office.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The stork myth is
in disgrace in Chicago, along with the
mysterious made OF babies, which are
explained as doors tep finds and as
benevolent gifts Of doctors. Both the
Illinois Federation OF Women's clubs
and the school authorities have at last
taken up in earnest the need OF ending
the deception of children along this
line by telling them Systematically the
facts about life. This was precipi-
tated by the declaration to the women
Of the federation by Clifford q. Roe,
of the Woman's World committee;

crudities, however, are so many and so
APP aren't that even the most conserva-
tvs and careful men engaged in the
bus mess sometimes get caught.
There was an illustration Of this
kind here within the past week. Irving
Tilden did some Cassie Chadwick
stunts and got away with them for
awhile-but is now reaping the newt
able harvest OF his crime in his dis
grace and imprisonment.
His methods of disposing Of forged
paper were somewhat prfmitive-but at
the same time so clever, that he sue
! ceeded for long period. His wide
acquaintance with the leading men of
Trail county and the artistic manner
in which he forged their names to
notes enabled him to dispose of these.
His victims took the usual precautions
and made the efforts ordinarily put
4 forth by men in their line of business.
There should be some form of certi-
facation of notes for the better security
! Of the investors. If there was a law
! requiring che attachment Of a notator-
] ial seal and the names OF two wit
nesses to each note--4t might not pre-
vent note forgeries-but IL would at
/, least make them more dffficult. There
is no reason why safeguards could not
be thrown around this kind OF paper.
If the bankers and investors had some
security there would be less red tape
for the honest men who have to nego-
tiate such paper-and probably lower
rates Of interest would prevail il the
opportunity for fraud were decreased.
The man Tlden who uttered the

Of such a method of getting rich. The

The Theatres

Nov. 25-A Texas Ranger.
Nov. 26--Beverly


A Texas Ranger is underlined at the
Fargo operahouse for Thanksgiving
matinee and night. The plot and
scenes are laid along the Rio Grande
river in the early nineties, very in
Texas. The author has added but very
little fictitious embellishments to the
already interesting facts
Judging from newspaper reports,
Beverly Of Graustark, is one of the
biggest successes OF the present theat-
rical season, and when Miss Ray
Beveridge appears as George Barr
McCutcheon's delightful heroine at the
Fargo operahouse on Friday evening
she will probably be greeted by many
people who have read the book.
Those who attend the performance
will doubtless find proof that no con-
temporary novelist has happier fac
ulty than this popular author, of hui
manizing historical personages. This
Is true, even though the subjects of
his pen are but myths. To the mod
ern mind, however, they have become
realities from their long residence on
the pinnacles of fame.

BANKER ACCUSED
OF GRABBING STREET
Supervisor Foss Demands the
Return of Old Road From
Philip E. Bowles

OAKLAND, Sept. 29-Philip E.
Bowles, capitalist and president of the
First national bank, was accused Of
grabbing street back of his extensive
home property in Piedmont in a suit
fled in the superior court today by
Supervisor Fred Foss of Berkeley as
road commissioner for the fourth SUI
peryisorial district. Road foremen who
have been in the employ of the county
for nearly quarter of a century have
assured Foss that in fencing across
Acacia avenue. the street in question.
Bowles has taken from the public a
highway which has been open to the
public more than 20 years.
The complaint stated that Bowles had
run strong wire fences across Acacia
avenue at Hillside street and Allston
avenue with padlocked gates Of which
he held the key. The road leads into
the hill to the old Livermore place, and
residents of the newly opened Rock
Ridge Park district are said to have
been disconnected by Bowles' alleged
action.
Bowles, according to Foss, said that
in acquiring property five years ago
he secured a clear title to the land
which his fences inclosed and he pro-
posed to maintain his rights Exten-
sive surveys will have to be made be-
fore the question of title can be settled,
though the alleged existence of the
road as public highway more than 20
years will figure strongly in determine

OAKLAND. Sept. 29.-William @. Pal
rnanteer, late president OF the Central
bank, left an estate which, cleared of
incumbrance, has been appraised at only
$7S,4741S. The unexpected shrinkage
was explained by Attorney r. NJ. Fitz-
gerald today as the result Of Palman-
teer's settled habit of deciding property
to his wife, Mrs. Kate M. Palmanteer.
She received a widows half of the es-
tate which he left, and this with what
he had already given her probably foots
UP to 100000.
The total valuation of Palmanteer's
personal holdings was fixed today at
s141.1227O, exclusive of claims aggre-
eating $62.64S.1S, leaving total of
$7S4741S. Inheritance tax which the
heirs must pay on this amount was
computed at S5I5.92.

stock in the California cotton mills, a
promissory note for $4,000 against the

valued at S36,314.SS in the Harrison

Hoppe Makes Remarkable
Ron at Billiards

In the first of his exhibition games
at the Graney billiard room last night.
Willie Hoppe, the youthful New York
billiard expert, surpassed the best mark
he has yet made in competition with
a remarkable run of 316 points. Incl
dentally, he easily won the game from
his opponent, Ben Saylor, scoring 400
points to the latter's A.
Hoppe did not get into his stride
until his seventh inning. difficult
masse shot brought the balls together
for him, and then he started out on his
long run. Several times he was ap-
plauded as he neatly executed some
seemingly impossible billiard, and each
time he clicked off a new century he
was greeted with noisy and enthusias-
tic approval. He finished the game with
an uncompleted run of nine.
The easterner ran out his string of
him an average of so points. The
score by innings was as follows
Hoppe, 0, z, 3, so, s, L. 316, 9-40O
Average SO. High run 316.
Saylor. 0, 1, s. 26, 0, 8, 7---44. Aver
age 2-7. High run 26.
Hoppe is to give three more exhibit :
tions before leaving town-a matinee
this afternoon, show this evening and
a ladies exhibition Friday night. At
each exhibition he will make an effort
to reach the 400 mark, point that
has never been attained at the 1872
style of game.

yesterday afternoon between Frank du
Bois and Frank Coffin proved the most
exciting of the four contests played.
