INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE
WEARY OF DESIGNATION

San Francisco's wing of Hearst S
political party is tired of its name. The
few remaining members of the indie
pendence league are hopeful of regain
ing a footing politically by changing
the name of their organization to the
independent party. The county conven-
tion last night unanimously recon-
mended to the incoming county COM
mittee to bring about the change either
by petition or other process.
w. c. Shepard was the temporary
chairman of the convention and w F.
Mullins. the secretary. Some little en-
thusiasm was created among the dele
gates by announcing that the league
had nominated Charles F. Curry for
governor, Francis V. Keesling for lieu
tenant governor and some other re-
publicans who had been unsuccessful
aspirants for the different Offices in
their own party at the primary election
The convention adjourned to meet
next Saturday night.

OAKLAND OFFICIALS
SAID TO own DENS
Charge Creates UprOar During
Meeting of City Church
Federation
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


OAKLAND, Aug. 2s.--An uproar was
caused at tonight's meeting of the
church federation of Alameda county
at the First Congregational church
when Adam Dixon Warner, a lawyer
of Los Angeles, accused IL public Off
Gals of Oakland now holding office of
owning property that is being used for
immoral purposes.
Warmers charge was made in a
speech in which he declared that the
time was at hand for the people of
Oakland to rescue their homes, their
children, their churches, and all that
was dear to them in life by following
the example of other cities in driving
evil dens and houses of infamy out
of the community. He said that it was
to the shame of the city that in IL
instances the owners, and in some cases
the conductors, of such places were
public officials.
Many members of the federation
jumped to their feet declaring that
Warmers charges were based mis-
information, but Warner said that he
could produce both photographs of the
properties and public records that
would prove his assertion conclusively.
Warner would not give the names of
officials accused nor the person who
had informed him, but said he would
do SO at the proper time.
Rev. George W. White of the First
Methodist church. president of the fed
Grafton said that Warmers charges were
SO severe that they would have to be
accusations touched the civic honor of
Oakland's people and that they should
either be satisfactorily proven or War
ner should apologize. 1t was finally
decided that the civic welfare COM
| nittee of the federation should meet
with Warner Friday evening, when
Warner promised to submit his photo
graphs and proofs.
Chairman White read an ordinance
passed by the city council in 1903 in
regard TO boxing exhibitions The ordi-
nance limited all bouts, both profess
sional and amateur, to 15 rounds, and
provides that fee of s100 for profess
sional bouts and SIS for amateur bouts
should be paid annually by those clubs
or organizations under whose auspices
the exhibitions were given. White
compared this measure with similar
laws of other cities and declared that
| 1t was behind the times, and that the
federation should take some action to
cause the passage of a new ordinance
whereby boxing exhibitions would be
prohibited or more severely restricted
| The matter was referred to the civic
welfare committee for consideration.

The republican convention of

the state upon the successful dis
placement of the party conven-
tion by the vote of the electors

The direct primary law has
justified itself by the results of
its first trial. The candidates
who have been chosen by the re-
publican voters are the candi-
dates OF the whole party and we
commend them 10 the people of
the state and city.
We demand the removal of the
judiciary from the sphere of pol

amendments to the election laws
as viii provide that the names
Of all judicial candidates appear
on the ballot without disclosing
their party affiliations or indorse-
meDtS. We favor such amend
ments to the existing methods of
legal procedure as will tend to
lessen the delay now attendant
upon the trial and decision of
civil causes, and also such re-
vision of the la ws of criminal
procedure as shall prevent the
delays in the punishment of
criminals and the escape of Of

not connected with the guilt or
