As I stated in chambers when the case was
first assigned to ! this department, it was as
signed with the idea that I would transfer it
to some other department for trial. When the
time came to make that transfer I called upon
the attorneys on both sides to consent to some
Judge who would bo agreeable to all parties in
the case, and I was unable to secure an agree*

into larger quarters is the third made,
by this comparatively young firm, since

rapid gxowjth in popularity and success.
The present store is entirely inadequate
to handle the demands of the trade,
which has steadily grown from a small
beginning into one of the largest retail
business concerns of the city. Their
factory gives employment to scores of
young women at remunerative wages and
the public should realize that the most
of Marks Bros.' goods are made under
their own roof, thus eliminating the mid
dle man's profit. It is their intention to
open the new store with an entirely new
stock of goods, hence they have decided
to dispose of their present stock • at
greatly reduced prices. The present store
will be closed all day to-day for the pur
pose of re-marking the stock, but to-mor

COOK DECLARES
HE IS IMPARTIAL
DEEPER probing into Attorney
Frederick E. Whitney's alleged
defalcation of funds of the es
tate of the late Edwin B. Jer
ome, the well-known Custom
house official, appears to reveal even a
blacker story than was given publicity
in the papers yesterday morning. In
vestigation into Whitney's habits dis
closes the fact, so the investigators
allege, that the man who is accused of
violating a deathbed Injunction lost all
the money of the Jerome estate over the
gambling table and at the racetrack and
left a defenseless, shrinking slip of a girl
without a penny in the world— dissipated,
so they declare, $4000 that was all she
had for the support of herself and the
rearing of her minor brother. The girl.
Miss Ethel Jerome, lies ill and prpstrated
at her Oakland home, shocked >. at. her
helplessness and dreading to face a lower-'
ing future.
That Whitney spent the $4000 he is ac
cused of depriving Miss Jerome. of on the
racetrack and • upon games of chance,
none of his former friends doubts: These
former friends have seen him- make the
money fly in all sorts. of shaky ventures
and they know that the bookmakers and
the "tiger" have absorbed- most of the
coin.
Whitney was not at all conspicuous on
It is a very unpleasant duty, for a court to
proceed to the trial, of .a case where either
party signifies an objection to the Judge, but as
the parties ¦ will not: consent to the trial of
this 'case before any other Judge of this court,
and cannot agree on any Judge, and as I know
of no reason in the world -to prevent a per
fectly fair and impartial trial -in this depart
ment,. I_can, see, no. way. -disagreeable as it is,
but to proceed to hear the case myself. I can
simply say , to '•- counsel on both' sides, that I
have no opinion" or, leaning one way or the
other. It is entirely a blank to me. So far a3
the case is concerned I have not the slightest
idea which way I may be compelled to de
cide It, but if tried before me it shall certainly
be decided as I understand the law, regardless
of consequences or who the parties may boor
who may be Interested. Whatever decision
may be rendered will be one which I shall
be conscientiously satisfied to be the law. As
I understand it it . is purely a question of
law to be passea* upon. -•, It, it was a question
of. fact In which I had some Interest I might
see some reason for transferring the cause.-
The only reason suggested is one. that I have
seen through* the press during- my absence in
the country, and that is. that within a few
months I may- be^a candidate- for re-election.
If on account of such suggestion as that I
should transfer the case out of my denart
ment I would consider that I was confessing
myself unfit to sit upon the bench to try any
case and feel that I ought to resign my posi
tion. 'I shall, therefore, not transfer the case,
unless the parties between now and next Sat
urday agree upon another ¦ department ' of the
court,' and will set the case , peremptorily for
hearing on that day. > , .

was continued until next Saturday.

Judge Murasky stating that he had concluded
not to sit In the case, . and thereupon Judge
Troutt said that as Judge Murasky declined to

to agree, therefore he asked to.be excused and

fact, he was the. hardest man in Oakland
to find. His office was locked and 'he

WHITNEY'S BRIEF STATEMENT.
'•'This is purely a matter between me
and Miss Jerome," he said, "and the
business of. no one else. I can straighten
this thing out to the satisfaction of Mis=3
Jerome. It does not concern the news
papers nor the public what occurs."
From Miss Jerome and her , friends,
however, come a different story. To her
and Miss Katherine Whitten, her cousin,
Whitney admitted, so they say, that he
had practiced a deception upon the child
and that if they revealed its true in
wardness to the public he would be pros
ecuted and ruined.
'.'The story of Whitney's perfidity as it
appeared in the. paper this morning, is
correct in every detail," said Miss Whit
ten, who is administering to her stricken
cousin at the old family home that will
soon no longer be Miss Jerome's shelter.
"We discovered the worthlessness of the
note three weeks ago, but Miss Jerome
is a retiring girl and did not .want to bear
the unpleasant notoriety that would fol
low should the matter be made public.
"Now, Mr. Whitney has admitted to us

Joseph Williams, who is accused of en
tering the premises of" Leo W. Goldstone
at 142 Central avenue, was up before
Judge Mogan yesterday. He .was given
three months in the County Jail on the
charge of having burglars' tools in his
possession, and was bound over in $30CO
bonds on the charge of burglary. The
Judge stated that he had less considera
tion for a burglar than he had for a hold
up man, because he thought a man should
feel secure in his own house, while he
was supposed to take some chances on the
highway. Williams was found coming out
of Goldstone's house and some plunder
was found on him. by the arresting officer.

she supported herself with the rental of
the other portion.
"Of course, the man told her. she had
nothing but an unindorsed promissory
note and said it Was not worth the paper
it was written upon! Miss Jerome then
informed her friends how she had been
deceived and they advised her to consult
with her relative, Mr. Pierson. The mat
ter is now in Mr. Pierson's hands."-
W. M. Pierson, Miss Jerome's relative
and who was one of the attorneys inter
ested' in the Fair estate litigation, is un
willing: to talk. He said that an effort
would be made to collect the money from
Whitney, but he was not very confident
'that collection was possible. •
John A. Britton, president of the Oak
land Gas, Light and Heat Company, who
was. one of the committee that called upon
Whitney, said it did not look as if the girl
would ever get the. money back. He said
he knew little about Whitney's habits,
having never been intimate with him.
"It was a dastardly thing to do,"he said,
"if all the things that are . being said
about Whitney are true. He violated a
trust that was imposed upon him. when
Mr. Jerome was dying. Jerome . asked
Whitney, who had been his close friend,
to look after his girl and see that no
harm befell her and this is the way the
man has kept his promise.
"It is a terrible thing for the girl and
almost as hard for Whitney's family, who
will also have to bear the stigma." -
Just after Mr. Jerome's death on Jan
uary 14 last the Custom-house associates
of the old employe subscribed $500 for pre
sentation to Miss Jerome, who was to
applyOt to the liquidation of the funeral
debts and expenses of probation of the
estate of her father and mother, who died
some three years ago. Whitney is alleged
to have piled up the expenses of the
estate, however, so that soon. there was
little left to return to the girl.
What the District Attorney's office in
tends to do is not to be given out until
Attorney Pierson asks that action be
taken against Whitney criminally. /

• There being calls for • Mayor Schmitz.
the executive responded very briefly. He
said he was glad . to see the demonstra
tion because it showed, that the cause of
labor had its friends in this city. . He re
joiced that the representative •£ the great
body of 'American laborers was being" re
ceived with open arms wherever he went
and particularly in San Francisco, where
the cause has so many adherents. Ho
expressed the belief that the visit of
Gompers to the Pacific Coast would do
much to strengthen the union cause in
this section of the country, and closed
with the statement that he was a repre
sentative of whom every American work
ingman could justly feel proud.
James O'Connor, president of th*? Inter
national Association of Machinists, also
made a tr*ef address, which brought the
reception to an end. A mass-meeting will
be held at the Alhambra Theater to
night, at wich ; addresses will be deliv
ered by Gompers, O'Connor, ¦ Morris and
others. The public is invited to attend.
SPEECH BY THE MAYOR.
The members of the union gave Gomp
ers a reception after his address, arid
after shaking hands with those present
the labor leader was escorted to the
Grand Hotel, where a reception was ten
dered him by the labor leadors of the
city. Mayor Schmitz was" among those
who assisted in the reception. Every
labor union In the city was represented.
The reception was marked by a display
of enthusiasm. At ll'o'clock some 150
musicians, under the leadership of Al
fred Roncovieri, appeared in New Mont
gomery street and began a serenade,
which attracted an immense" crowd.
There were calls for Gompers, who ap
peared at a second-story window of the
hotel and bowed. The crowd demanded a
speech, and Gompers said he realized that
the demonstration ' was not in any
sense a personal one so far as he was
concerned, but a popular indorsement of
the labor movement of the United States
as represented by him. He assured his
hearers that he would do all in his power
to assist the wage-earners of the land in
their battle for industrial freedom, and
in th*ir struggle for the rights and privi
leges which all men should enjoy In com
mon, be they rich or poor. 5 The labor
leader was loudly cheered at tha close of
his remarks.
The day will come when, through the aid per
haps of your organization, the freedom of the
sailor to quit his work when it suits him to do
so without prejudice will be secured. (Cheers.)
Ship-owners and masters are gradually coming
to a realization that the sailors in their em
ploy have hearts and souls and minds of their
own the same as a Jeweler, carpenter or stone
mason. Unionism will bring about more re
forms calculated to better the sailor's lot, and
It Is the duty of every union man to do what
he can to secure that end.
FBEEDOM OF SAILOR.
With regard to the lot of the American sail
or, I have to say that the enactments of recent
years in their behalf have been prolific of great
good. While these laws have not accomplished
all that mlEht be expected, they have at least
lightened the burdens that have weighed upon,
the shoulders of the American sailor with dead
ening effect for go- many years. These laws
have done much to free the sailor from the
absolute thralldom under *vhich he lived tor
many decades. - -
. I rejoice to see the great strides your organ
ization has made since that time. \ou have in
creased in numbers and your sphere of useful
ness has been considerably enlanred. True
unionism means progress and enlightenment. It
means the social advancement of the -working
men and the betterment of their conditions.
Unionism has done more for the American la
borer in the past twenty years than anything
I know of. It is to the solidarity of our prin
ciples, the earnestness of our purpose as union
men that this advancement 'hag been largely
due.
Gompers spoke of his former visit to
this city on March 6, 1891, when the first
representatives of organized labor to
extend him the hand of welcome were
members of the Seamen's Union. He was
dragged away to a" lumber pile on the
front and there delivered his first address
in San Francisco before an audience of
sailors. Resuming he said:
President Samuel Gompers of .the
American Federation of Labor addressed
a larg-e crowd at the meeting of the Coast
Seamen's Union last night. The dis
tinguished labor leader was introduced
by Walter Macarthur, editor of the Coast

COMING TO CAiLIFOENIA.
"Sayfor us that the story published in
a San Francisco paper on Saturday even
ing is untrue in every detail." That is
their statement.
Beyond repudiating the entire story
that appeared in the Gage organ on Sat
urday evening the Messrs. Hayes declined
to be interviewed. »
"But the boss system has gone forever.
It has been driven out by the courage
and Integrity of two men who were will
ing to invest over J100.GOO in a newspaper,
and to devote their time and wealth In
organization in order to accomplish it.
Neither wants office. Neither has any
ambition to go to Congress. Both have
to^my knowledge absolutely refused to
consider any office, although the people
have urjred them very strongly. I refer
to the Messrs. Hayes. If Santa Clara
has been redeemed and Mackenzie driven
to the wall, the county has these gentle
men to thank for it. I am glad to be able
ta pay this tribute to them through the
medium of The Call."
'"Mr. Rea and I are very g-ood friends—
but not intimates, by any means. He has
named no office-holders in this city gov
ernment, nor has any one else, for that
matter, although in one instance my own
choice of an officer was stronglv urged
by many personal friends. By the way,
1 understand Mr. Rea was deeply offend
ed at the selection of that officer, but he
didn't say so to me, as I fancy he knows
pretty well that I would not tolerate any
dictation from him or any one else. As
for the Messrs. Hayes, these gentlemen
have never asked me to take their slate
or platform. On the contrary, in the fill
ing of positions they have been particu
lar to ask me simply to award everything
on merit. I am free to say that I confer
frequently with them and with many
other gentlemen who have sacrificed
much in the cause of reform In Santa
Clara County.
The result is that Rea has not named
& single man for a single position, nor
Hill he. He will not have the naming of
a single commissioner In the new city
government, any yarns in the Gage or
gan to the contrary notwithstanding. Re
garding- his relations with Mr. Rea Mayor
AVorswick said:
HEA'S INFLUENCE LIMITED.
And with respect to James W. Rea,
while, the Hayes brothers were glad to
welcome him. as they welcomed all other
citizens to the cause of better government
in San Jose, they were especially cautious
that he fhould occupy no position that
could in atiy sense give him the power
and sway of the boss. They saw to it
ih£.t the candidates pledged him no
places, and used every means to preserve
the offices for the elect, whoever they
mi;?ht be.
Your correspondent is also prepared to
repudiate the story that the Hayes
brothers are supporting Louis Montgom
ery for Congress. They have never
promised I^ouis Montgomery their sup-
I>ort. and what Is more, would strongly
oppose his nomination should so extraor
dinary an occurrence be even serlously
Fiiggested. | Mr. Montgomery is not a con
stant caller at the Hayes brothers* offices,
although hie may occasionally, as other
people do, call there. But that he is
taken into the councils of Hayes brothers
or of other prominent members of the
Republican party is untrue.
She believes in prayer as any Christian
believes in the power of prayer, but noth
ing more. The story of certain visions
¦while in a trance is, like the rest of the
article referred to, made out ot whole
«:loth. Mrs. Hayes believes in none of
these things, nor does any member of her
family. The iron mines which her sons
own and which are now producing the
ore used by the United States Ste^l Cor
poration, came to them as mines have
come to other men — by prospecting. There
was no sleight-of-hand or legerdemain or
trance concerned in their acquisition.
STOBY OF THE MINES.

portion of the story printed in the Gage
organ. Mrs. Hayes-Chynoweth, mother
of E. A. and J. O. Hayes, is a Christian
lady, whose life has been I devoted to
helping the poor and ministering to the
pick. She is not a spiritualist, nor is
there anything extraordinary I about her
faith or doctrine except po6sib".y that she
lives very near »o it, exemplifying as few
persons have ever done the life and
works of the Master whom she seeks t.i
follow. To know her is to love her, hence
the Is beloved by thousands, among
whom the poor and needy predominate.
A special correspondent of The Call
sends the following accurate statement
of political conditions in San Jose:
SAN JOSE, July 21.— Gage is out of the
Question in this county- The people here
¦vrtli never accept him. They are disgust
ed with his cheap political methods ana
particularly with his appointment of Johu
D. Mackenzie to the Haraor Commission.
People say it was on a par, but worse,
¦with his appointment of L,awlor to Glen
Ellen. Mackenzie has not a corporal's
guard behind him here, and . these ar«
using every possible effort Ao get in out
of the wet. Republicans everywhere say
they will vote for anybociy but Gage.
Him they will never swallow. They n&y
he has forfeited every possible claim to
support. The Hayes papers are saying
little about the gubernatorial- affair, but
It is known that Gage is very distasteful
to the Hayes brothers and that they
•would support any one but him. The
Ftory here is that the Examiner is trying
to get Gage in the field In order to insure
a Democratic victory. They say that with
Gage in the field even Budd could win
against him.
The Hayes brothers are neither vindic
tive nor spiteful, but they resent the
flippant use of their names in the man
ner in which they appeared In Gage's
evening organ on Saturday last. In that
article reference was .made to the story
of their private fortunes, how they were
acquired, etc., with a silly conclusion to
the effect that their beautiful home at
Eden Vale is the center of "American
spiritualism."
CONDITIONS IN SAN JOSE.
The political bosses attached to tne»Gage
machine ha%e abandoned their eftbrts to
win support in Santa Clara County. \ After
the complete wreck of the machine in the
recent San Jose municipal election John
ny Mackenzie still clung to the notion
that he could manipulate the county-- con
vention by old-fashioned primary inelh
ods. but the action of the people ot the
county in calling a special election and
voting to extend the primary election iaw
to every precinct in the county puts the
boss out of business. Santa Clara is safe
ly intrenched against an invasion of the
Gage-Aguirre-Kevane push.
He was then followed by E. Lastreto,
the great sannap. who. in eloquent lan
guage, pictured the present condition of
the Improved Red Men and drew a glow
ing picture of the future of tho order. The
meeting closed with three rousing cheers
for the great Incohonee.
The guest of the evening responded to
this, thanking his brethren and sisters
for the kindly welcome and expressed his
pleasure at the progress the order has
made in California in the past two years.
He spoke at some length on the condi
tion of the organization in other reserva
tions.
Great Incohonee Wiley of the Improved
Order of Red Men. the head of the order
in the United States, was" tendered a re
ception last night In Native Sons' Mall.
He was escorted to the- stage by Great
Sachem James Boyes. and they were ac
companied by Great Prophet F. D. Bran

and Filcher, Great Sannap E. Lastreto.

. In the main body of fhe hall were sev
eral hundred members of the order rep
resenting the local tribes and councils,
who evinced their pleasure at meettng the
guest of the evening by loud and con
tinued applause. After this had ceased
the great incohonee was formally wel
comed to this city by the great sachem,
after which the Knickerbocker Quartet
furnished - vocal selections. Mayor
Schmitz was introduced and warm
ly welcomed and on behalf of

An Itemized statement of expenditures
during" the fiscal year commencing July
1, 19J1. and ending June 30. 1902, was at
taclusd. and reads .as follows:
"The letter is signed by Sheldon G. Kel
logg, president; Thomas F. Boyle, A. W.
Voorsanger, Jeremiah Deasy and Oliver
Everett, Board of Election Commission
ers,.through Thomas J. Walsh, Registrar
and secretary.
Two elections are now held every year,
where' formerly but one was 'held on al
ternate years, and nevertheless the ex
penses of the department aggregate less
than previous to the adoption of the char
ter, i
The report states that for the second
time the department has been conducted
within the appropriation and again shows
a surplus which this year amounts to
?45S1 62, a condition which was practical
ly unknown under the consolidation act'
and realizes the expectations of improve
ment which were promised by the fram
ers of the charter, so far as this branch
of the: municipality is concerned. |
The Registrar presented a report of the
financial conduct of the department for
the fiscal year just closed which showed
a surplus of $4581 62. The commission ap
proved the report and ordered it filed with
his Honor Mayor Schmitz, as required by
the charter.
The demands for 637 precinct registra
tion clerks for services on July 14 and 15
were allowed and ordered sent to the Au
ditor.
The Board of Election Commissioners
met yesterday and perfected arrange
ments for the primary election. The com
mission adopted a resolution requiring the
committees of all political parties, and
all persons participating, to use a paster
for the primary election which must be
uniform in size, color of paper and style
of type, and no ballot will ue counted at
the election that has a paster with the
label of any printing house or advertis
ing matter of any kind printed or writ
ten thereon, as under a late decision of
the Supreme Court this would constitute
a. mark of identification, and such ballot
must be rejected.
