A FAMILY FRACAS WELL KNOWN SANTA BARBARA PEOPLE AT WAR An Ex-S.cepmother Causes Trouble and the Ex-Stepson Retaliates —Re- ciprocal Charges SANTA BARBARA, Aug. lo the prominence of all parlies concerned, there has been a big sensation caused here by the arrest, on Monday afternoon last of Thomas Storke, the 21-year-old son of Dis trict Attorney C. A. Stoike, at the instance of Mrs. Yda Addis Storke, his stepmother. The charge Is petty larceny. The warrant was Issued out of Justice W. C. Gammlll's court. In deference to the young man's so cial position, all the Santa Barbara papers at lirst suppressed the news of his arrest. Young Storke now states that he has brought a countercharge against the lady for perjury. This morning at 10 o'clock, on a warrant Issued by Justice Crane on Tues day night, Mrs| Storke was arrested on the charge named, and allowed to go until to morrow on her own recognizance. Storke declared last night that he meant to bring another charge this evening in addition for criminal libel, and that he likewise hopes to secure an indictment from the grand jury next week against Mrs. Storke on grounds not divulged. The trouble arose over the allegation of Mrs. Storke that her stepson had taken a letter from the postofflce addressed to her and containing a remittance of $1 in money order form sent to her by a San Francisco paper in payment for correspondence. She alleges also that he showed this letter to several parties, and that he retained the money ord^r. The young man totally denies complain ant's allegation. He states that the letter and also the money order werel addressed not to Y. A. Storke, but to I. M. Storke; that he diligently sought for such a party, know ing that his own Initials were "T. M." and that also he had done no work as a cor respondent for which he should receive the said dollar. He thereupon wrote the send er and returned the money. By a letter from Ballard. It appears that a few excellent crops have been secured there by Irrigation, despite the fearful drought. W. T. Mead, manager of Rancho Alisal, has two hundred tons of hay now curing. James Troop, manager of the Gould ranch, near Santa Ynez, whose skull was kicked In by a horse, and who was expect ed by the doctors to die, Is recovering. The Baptist church of Santa Barbara has Just been renovated. The city and postal authorities are work ing to secure the extension of the free de livery system in Santa Barbara. There Is to be a regular college at tho Old Mission, Santa Barbara, under the di rection of the Franciscan fathers. Last year their school for candidates for the priesthood was successfully established. It is now, however. Intended to enlarge Its sphere, and to add a regular university course, wherein to prepare young people for all walks of life. ATTACKED THE TRAIN A Band of Bad Boys Who Threw Rocks at the Train For some days past the trains on tjie Redondo road have been made the object of attack hy a number of small boys at Golden. Whether they Imagined themselves a party of Cuban patriots and the little nar row gauge trains conveyances lllled with Spanish troops Is not known, but they cer tainly acted as If they did. Whenever the cars would pass that point, which is two miles south of University station, the youngsters would assail it with a volley of stones. On Monday several rocks passed through the car windows and struck a lady and child ln the face. The trainmen stopped the cars and chased after the boys. They caught Robert and Loult Thompson and took them tc the city. It was Intended to turn the pair over to the police, but the father of the boys consulted with Mr. Perry, the su-! perintendent of the road, and promised to see that the youngsters behaved in future, so they were released. Officer Baker took Philip Lopez, a boy residing at University, Into custody, but as the trainmen were un able to Identify him he was not sent to the police station. It is probable that the crowd will cease their mischief, as they will be prosecuted if any more raids are attempted on the cars. Off for the Hunting Grounds Officer Tom Rfco and Deputy Constable Charles Conn will start on their vacations at 6 o'clock this morning. They propose to go to Barley Flats, which are situated about jfoftj" miles northwest from Wilson's Peak. %Tom there they will drive through Tehungo canon to the foot of the moun tain, and from there will pack twenty-five miles to the flats. They expect to shoot some deer, and Rico Is ambitious to kill a bear. Seven years ago Rico visited the flats in company with a party, and the crowd killed seven deer in one camp. Tt will taka about three days to reach the flats, but Rico expects to have about three days' good hunting. John Hauerwaas is arranging a hunting party to leave some time this week. They expect to be absent nearly a week. J. H. Klefer expects to accompany Mr. Haue: waas. Catholic Reunion and Picnic A largely! attended meeting of represent ative Catholics was held last evening at 21S South Main street, to further arrange ments for the annual reunion and picnic. After a discussion of the merits and de merits of the different beaches, Terminal island was decided upon as best adapted for so large a gathering, and the picnic set for Thursday, August 25, at that resort.

THE WHALER LEANDER She Was Last Seen in a Dangerous Position ST. MICHAEL, Alaska, July 21, via Vic toria, B. C, Aug. 3.—Grave fears are ne tertained for the safety of the steam whaler Alexander of San Francisco. The whalers Bayllss and Karluk, from north of Bering straits, under date of June 27, send a dis patch that the Alexander was sighted off Fox Island, ln the Aleutian group, in April. She was then in what might become a dan gerous position. Her nose was well out on the Ice, but she was not thought at the time to be In serious danger. The fleet proceeded north and did not become alarmed until late ln June, when the Alexander failed to show up. All the other whnlers that were In the vicinity of Fox island have reached Bering straits and reported. In the fleet the opinion is general that either the Alexander was lost or she has sustained serious damage and was compelled to return to San Francis co for repairs. No Indications of a wreck in the vicinity of Fox island have been re ported at Dutch harbor or Unalaska. In the latter part f June the steamer William Baylies was at Plover bay, with six whales, the steamer Karluk at King's Is land, with five, and the steamer Jeannotte at Norton islands, with three whales. TWO NEW RAILWAYS A Prediction That They Will Be Built in Ten Months SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-The Exam iner says: There is every prospect that two new railroads will he built in California within the next eight or ten months. One of them will be a line from Fresno to tide water at Monterey. The other will be a road from Manzanita. a staton on the North Pacific Const railroad, to Bollnas. The latter will be sixteen miles long, and its projectors have in view the erection of a big hotel on the seashore at Bollnas. The Monterey and Fresno line will be 140 miles long, and its routs from Monterey will be by the way of Salinas and Hollister. Eng lish capitalists are said to be behind these enterprises. A SINGAPORE VIEW Out of the Way Idea From an Out of the Way Place LONDON, Aug. 4—A dispatch to the Dally Mail from Singapore says: Presi dent McKinley's proposal that a commis sion should decide the future government of the Philippines Is regarded here as giv ing Spain a chance of recovering partial authority over her revolted subjects. This state of things it is thought might afford an opening for Intrigues on the part of foreign powers unfriendly to America. Great Britain and Japan might prove dan gerous to the cause of permanent peace in the Pacific. THOMPSON ESCAPES His Accounts Were Correct When the Complaint Was Issued SAN DIEGO, Aug. 3.-The case against ex-County Treasurer J. W. Theimpson. ac cused of embezzling $12,000 from the coun ty funds, was dismissed today on motion of the district attorney. The grounds fop dismissing the case were that the county funds were correct at the time when the complaint was sworn nut. and had been for several days prior to that time, and at all times when account of the funds were made, and that there was not sufficient evidence to convtoe.

A Fourth ward Republican club was or ganized last evening at 1,404 West Pico street, at which a fair attendance was nres r« nt LOS ANGELES HERALD t THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 4> 1898 Political Review The man who writes "politics" for the Times has treated the public to another exhibition of the difference between fact and fiction. He says that a faction of the Democratic party led hy Dr. R. \V. Hill (which by the way means the wholeparty) conceived the brilliant Idea that the dele gates to the state convention should be chosen by the'executive committee of which he is chairman. This Is the rankest kind of nonsense. The truth is that the few In dividuals whom the Times assigns to the "rag-tag and bob-tail variety," petitioned Dr. Htll and the executive commltteo to adopt this undemocratic scheme nnd select the state delegates, but Dr. Hill and the other members of the commit tee refused to countenance the proposition at all and proceeded to call the Democratic primaries" for this very purpose in true Democratic fashion. The accuracy with which this- pencil pusher strikes off brilliant political In formation for a hungry public, Is further illustrated by the statement in tho same column and on the samo date that the me'etlng of the executive committee held on tho 3d for the purpose of calling the primaries resulted in a row and adjourned without doing anything. Now the truth Is that the committee completed arrange ments for calling the primaries and the call therefor was published ln The Herald the morning of the 3d. If the Times' scribe had taken the trouble to communicate with Dr. Hill he might have been able to lind out what was going on In Democratic politics, and If he will take that trouble now he will find that everything Is gliding along smoothly—quite smoothly for these exciting times. Since the nomination of Councilman E. L. Hutchison for the office of lieutenant governor by the People's party convention, numerous aspirants Trace come forward to succeed him as councilman from the Eighth ward. It Is whispered in political circles that Tony Mesmer, Hugh J. Smith and Robert A. Todd are anxious to SfiTfve the people of the Eighth ward, and are seeking the Democratic nomination for that office. Mr. Smith has already served an unexpired term In the city council. Mr. Todd Is at present clerk for the mayor of this city and Was had considerable ex perience ln city matters. Mr. Mesmer is well known In this city and will probably make a strong showing in the convention. The Cucamonga offers some good advice concerning nominations. It says: "Don't nominate a person for offlco who has not ability. "Don't nominate a person for office who has not integrity. "Don't nominate a person for office who has not a good record. "Don't nominate.a person for office, who If elected, will bring discredit to the party. "Don't nominate a person for office who has brought discredit to the party. "Don't nominate a person for office who cannot be elected." Republicans hereabouts aro Just now throwing.bouquets nt Henry T. Gags. It Is singular Indeed what a change of senti ment can take place within a few days. Three weeks ago the Republican states men in this part of the state were casting cold glances at Henry and the newspapers in this locality were pooh-poohing his can didacy. But now all is changed. Mr. Gage has become their idol. Tho natural inquiry is why ar© se many Republicans stampedang for Gage's hand wagon? News comes from every hamlet throughout the southern part of tho state that Republicans are tumbling over them selves to Join the Gage gubernatorial pro cession. Ts there anything or anybody that Is- responsible for this hurricane of enthu siasm which Is flopping the broad pnnta loons of Mr. Gage and causing so much dust In tht| political atmosphere? Some ingenious politicians may draw the conclusion from this that Bulla has been sacrificed or deserted by his friends and supporters. This will hardly he borne out hy the truth, if that could be ascertained. A better guess would be that the Repub licans who are flocking to Gage are those sharp individuals who. having waited for and learned the drift of things, have now cast their lots with the probable winner. Mr. Bulla's ardent and faithful supporters are, from all accounts, still with him. Some of Bulla's enemies are unkindly talking about "small" men as If a Vulcan were necessary to forge thunderbolts of eloquence in order to secure the appoint ment of postmasters In Southern Califor nia, No ono pays serious attention to such pleasantry. Tt ts undoubtedly true that the average senatorial toga, when caught by stray Washington zephyrs may flop a little and 1 It may be that a scam or two will have to be "taken In," but a Judicious use of pins will mend all such minor matters. Again the self-styled leaders of the Re publican party have been holding seances behind closed doors and trying to pntch up an armistice if not peace between these contending* factions and their efforts may have brought around a reconciliation be tween them. If this be true, which is doubtful, It is the sly game of the Gage fol lowers. For be It remembered that the nomination and election of governor comes tirst in the legal and natural order of events, and that Mr. Gage would be secure ly seated ln the st.it.- house just as 111. Bulla's troubles would begin, and then Mr. Bulla would have to meet the argument that Southern California has already been honored with the governorship and that consequently the northern part of the- state? would furnish the senatorial material. It may be far fetched to connect tbe Qage boom with the scheme for assembly district primaries, but it Is notorious chat the (luge followers 'have been devoting a great deal of time to the study of the geography, the population and the political complexion of the several assembly dis tricts In this county. When Major McLaughlin made his grand stand Bpeeoh to the Republican state com mittee and talked about anti-monopoly and as a result promulgated' his new scheme for selecting delegates to the state convention direct from each assembly dis trict, the major and his sentiments and his scheme received rapturous applause, from a certain line of politicians who probably understood its significance and from the rank and tile who thought they could see ln this movement some hope of reform of their party. Hut how changed Is tho situation today! Tn this county the Republican party is split from end to end. T'nder the guise of reform ing the party, some faction of it has ma- nipulated the assembly districts in such One manner that one-third of the Repub licans of this county will be prevented from voting at tho Republican primaries. This may seem strange hut It Is a fact. Under the state call the primaries for each precinct ln the several assembly dis tricts were placed under the Jurisdiction of the county committees of tbe several counties and the county committee of this county has mado certain arbitrary divls lons of each assembly district Into voting precincts and has called tho pri maries according to these divisions. Here is where; the scheme comes in and here Is where the rank and file and at least one faction of the Republican party have found a Waterloo. To illustrate the new Republican scheme for holding pri maries, take the Seventieth and Serventy second assembly districts: In tbe former Republicans residing in Antelope valley as well as those at the towns along the railroad ln that district, also those residing in certain parte of the city of Pasadena, are required to travel to San Fernando in order to cast their ballots for delegates. In the Seventy-second dis trict, University is the most eastern town and the district takes in the seacoast towns so that the Republicans of Redondo, for example, must travel to University to have a say in selecting their delegates. Certain Republicans are In study to solve the mystery and meaning of selecting these, the most Inconvenient places, to hold primaries ln the assembly districts. They cannot understand why the primaries were not called according to the estab lished precincts of the several assembly districts. They point, out the fact, however, that the railroad will have no difficulty ln getting its following to the polls since the stock of passes Is Inexhaustible for these purposes. But they ask how it can be ex pected that the people of Antelope valley will spend two days and $5 each for rail road faro to attend the primaries for the purpose of voting for anti-railroad dele gates. These same facts are applicable to every other country district, and the result must and will be that the railroad 1 will have no trouble in electing a solid delegation to subserve Its sweet will. Unfortunately for Gage his name Is being used ln connection with this scheme, and It Is openfly charged that the railroad Is back of him and that the new life which has been injected Into his boom within the last fow days has been the result of an abund ant use of the railroad elixir. And so goes Republican politics, not withstanding Major McLaughlin's pro nunclamento. POLITICUS.
